OWNER shall, within thirty-one calendar days of presentation to him of the application for payment with PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of the amount for payment, pay CONTRACTOR amount recommended. 14.5. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER, based on PROFESSIONAL's on-site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL and on PROFESSIONAL's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of PROFESSIONAL's knowledge, information and belief, the quality' of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation"': and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment 40 n u .n o o o I o I o D I I U o I I I I of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such payment PROFESSIONAL will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections have' been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work. beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by. OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. 14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. 14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement. 14.7:2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order. 14.7.3.

Pavement joints 1-1/2" deep at 12'-0" spacing shall be saw cut promptly after casting. CONCRETE FINISHES: Rouqh or Form Board Finish: All concrete wall surfaces which are not exposed to view may be given this finish. This finish has, as a prerequisite, a thoroughly vibrated concrete which will give a surface smooth, free from air pockets, water pockets, sand streaks, or honeycomb. After the removal of the forms, all fins shall be cut off; all holes, depressions, and rough spots shall be carefully pointed up with,mortar having the same proportions of cement and sand as used in the concrete being treated. The surface film of all pointed surfaces shall be carefully removed before setting occurs, otherwise, surfaces shall be left with the texture imparted by the forms. Rubbed Finish: Walls, beam, sill,' and under slab surfaces which are exposed to view shall have a rubbed finish. As soon as the rough surface finish has set sufficiently, the entire surface shall be wet with a brush and rubbed with a No. 16 Carborundum stone, to bring the surface to a paste. The rubbing shall be continued sufficiently to remove all form marks and projections, and to produce a smooth dense surface without pits or irregularities. The material which is ground to a paste, in the above process, shall be carefully spread or brushed uniformly over the entire surface and allowed to take a "reset". The final finish shall be obtained by a thorough rubbing with a No. 30 Carborundum stone. This rubbing shall continue until the entire surface is of smooth texture and uniform in color. The surfaces shall be stripped evenly with a brush so as to remove excess paste, and the surface left smooth with only enough paste remaining to obtain a uniform color. Float Finish: The' surface of, all concrete slabs shall, unless otherwise hereinafter specified, be given a float finish. The structural slab shall be brought to the established grade by screeding. The surface shall be tested for irregularities with a straightedge. Irregularities shall be eliminated and the entire surface finished with a wooden hand float or finishing ,machine. Finish shall be a true plane within a tolerance of 1/4 inch in 10 feet measured in any direction. Broom Finish: Surfaces of exterior walkways, concrete road pavement, concrete lined ditches, or platforms shall be given a broom finish. A smooth, true and uniform surface is a prerequisite for this finish. When the progress of the set provides the proper consistency, the surface shall be raked with a broom to give parallel transverse lines in the surface, and to give a uniform texture. ---.-JZEL,~~-'-~~ 9416-09 T03.doc T03-6 I I I I I I I I I I I o I I I I I D I SECTION T03 CONCRETE SAMPLES AND TESTS: The Contractor shall be responsible for the concrete mix designs, test cylinders for proving the mix designs, tests for the aggregate gradation and quality, for molding test cylinders during the progress of the job, delivering the cylinders for testing to the laporatory, testing for slump and air content, and for conducting load tests, if required.

Slump: Tests for slump shall be performed at the job site on all concrete immediately prior to placing in accordance with the Test for Slump of Portland, Cement Concrete, ASTM C,143. If the slump varies from that of the design mix by more than that permitted by ASTM C 94, the concrete shall be rejected. In no case shall the maximum specified water cement ratio of the approved mix design be exceeded. Air Content: One test for air content shall be made for each strength test. This test shall be made on a concrete sample that has been removed when consolidation of the concrete in the forms has been completed and shall be in aC,cordance with the Test for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Volumetric Method, ASTM C 173. Load Test: If there exists any evidence of faulty workmanship, violations of specifications, or likelihood of concrete having been frozen, load tests may be required in accordance with ACI 318. These tests shall be under the direction of the Engineer. CONCRETE REPAIRS: Correction of Deficiencies: The Contractor shall be responsible for correction of concrete work which does not conform to the specified requirements, including strength, honeycomb, spalls, cracks, chips, holes, fins, tolerances and finishes.

Inteqri ty of the Installed Sewer: All pipe lines shall be checked for infiltration and subjected to' either an infiltration test, an exfiltration test, or a low-pressure air test to demonstrate the integrity of the installed pipe. The Contractor shall provide, at no additional cost to the Owner, all labor, materials, supervision, equipment and measuring devices necessary to conduct the test. Results of the tests, witnessed by the construction inspector, shall be delivered to the Owner in written form. ,Meeting the minimum requirement herein specified does not relieve the Contractor of the necessity of making sewers as tight as possible. Low-Pressure Air Test: Only for sections of sewer which are not submerged by. groundwater will the air test be applicable. If the pipe to be tested is submerged in groundwater, an infiltration test shall be used. The air test is performed as follows: Flush and clean the sewer line with water prior to testing, thus cleaning out debris and wetting the pipe surface to produce more consistent results. Plug all Qutlets to resist the test pressure. Give special attention to stoppers and service laterals. Add air until the internal air pressure of the sewer is raised to approximately 4.0 psi gauge. When the pressure has stabilized and is at or lowered to the starting test pressure of 3.5 psi gauge, commence the test.

Substrates for herbaceous to a depth of 4-6 inches. herbaceous plant survival and the root system. Substrates that are plowing/disking as part ~f the planting should be deconsolidated I TIME OF PLANTING I It is - critical to the plant survival in the constructed wetland that transplanting be performed between April 1 and August 31. Planting prior to, mid-March may be allowed if the Contractor can show that substrates/water are not frozen. Plants will suffer less stress if transplanted prior to breaking dormancy.' Planting after these times may result in' a significant loss due to heat stress when bareroot stock is planted in the hot summer months. Emergent plants will need a full growing season to build the root reserves needed to survive winter. Any planting outside of the mid-March to mid-June will require approval by the Engineer. I B SITE PREPARATION I Once the wetland cell is graded, and topsoil replaced, the site should be disked or otherwise prepared for planting roo,t stock. Broadcast the area with barnyard grass to stablize ):opsoil. High quality wastewater effluent should be released into the cell prior to planting to facilitate soil setting and removal of air pockets. Shallow flooding followed by draining leaving a soupy substrate creates the ideal growth conditions for new plant stocks and facilitates,hand or mechanical planting. I PLANTING D The wetland cells will be planted with whole plants, dormant rhizomes and tubers as specified by the Engineer. As the plants are critical to the success of the project, nurseries subcontracted to provide the plants must be inspected and annually certified by their state as meeting the certification criteria. I I Planting may_ be done by hand or mechanically. Plants will be planted deep enough to preventpropagules from floating out of the planting hole. Sterns will be trimmed to avoid toppling after planting and to encourage new stern growth. It is anticipated that the herbaceous plants will develop a good stand within 4-6 weeks. The survivability criteria is a minimum of 80% of each species. Plants not responding wi thin the six week initiation period will require replacement. I D Proper water depth and careful regulation are the key factors for plant survival during the initial planting. Due to a lack of an extensive root system, initial flooding can cause significant losses. I After planting, the constructed wetland cells should be saturated with water to about 1-3 cm for 4-5 weeks. Water levels must not overtop cut stalks from the original plants or new shoot growth. After the sixth week, if emergent plants show new and vigorous growth, water levels can be slowly and I , . I, 9416-Guidelines for Planting.doc I I gradually increased to support erect, upright growth forms. Plants must be established at least six weeks before introduction of wastewater. It is absolutely essential that the stems are above the water surface to avoid drowning new plants. It is also important that water levels not be lowered to the extent to expose the plant roots. I I To insure, these planting g,uidelines are followed, a representative of the Engineer will frequently inspect the site. All plant materials entering the site must be approved by the representative of the Engineer prior to planting. Plant materials not meeting the criteria specified or found in an unhealthy condition will be rejected and must be replaced within 48 hours to insure meeting the planting schedule. Substitutions will not be permitted unless approved by the Engineer.
