Owner, that the date of beginning, rate of progress and the time for completion of the work to be
done hereunder are ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS of this Contract. Contractor agrees that said work
shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently, and uninterruptedly at such rate of progress as will insure
full completion thereof within the time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed by and
between the Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the completion of the work described herein

range and construction conditions prevailing in this locality.
IF THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NEGLECT, FAIL OR REFUSE TO COMPLETE THE
WORK WITHIN THE TIME HEREIN SPECIFIED, then the Contractor does hereby agree, as a part

hereinafter set forth, for each and every calendar day that the Contractor shall be in default after the
time stipulated in the contract for completing the work.
The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner
because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages
the Owner would, in such event, sustain, and said amounts shall be retained from time to time by the
Owner from current periodical estimates.
It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this contract
and the specifications wherein a definite portion and certain length of time is fixed for the
performance of any act whatsoever; and where under the contract an additional time is allowed for
the completion of any work, the new time limit fixed by extension shall be the essence of the
Contract.

determined for the total number of each of the units of work in the attached schedule
completed at the unit price stated. The number of units contained in this schedule is

incorporated in or made necessary by the work covered by the Contract.
B. PROGRESS PAYMENTS
The Owner will pay to the Contractor in the manner and at such times as set forth in the
General Conditions such amounts as required by the Contract Documents.
ARTICLE IV - ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT
A. Upon receipt of written notice that the work is ready for final inspection and acceptance, the
Engineer shall within 10 days make such inspection, and when he finds the work acceptable

and is accepted by him under the terms and conditions thereof, and the entire balance found
to be due the Contractor, including the retained percentage, shall be paid to the Contractor
by the Owner within 15 days after the date of said final certificate.
B. Before final payment is due the Contractor shall submit evidence satisfactory to the Engineer
that all payrolls, material bills, and other indebtedness connected with the work have been
paid, except that in case of disputed indebtedness or liens the Contractor may s).lbmit in lieu
of evidence of payment a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner guaranteeing payment of all
such disputed amounts when adjudicated in cases where such payment has not already been
guaranteed by surety bond.

more than ninety (90) days by the Owner or under an order of court or other public
authority of the Engineer fails to act on any request for payment within thirty (30)
days after it is submitted or the Owner fails to pay the Contractor substantially the
sum approved by the Engineer within thirty (30) days of its approval and
presentation, then the Contractor may after ten (10) days from delivery of a written
notice to the Owner and the Engineer, terminate the Contract and recover from the
Owner payment for all work executed and all expenses sustained. In addition, and
in lieu of terminating the Contract, if the Engineer has failed to act on a request for
payment or if the Owner has failed to make any payment as aforesaid, the Contractor
may, upon ten (10) days notice to the Owner and the Engineer, stop the work until

to the Engineer a partial payment estimate filled out and signed by the Contractor on
an approved form covering the work performed during the period covered by the
partial payment estimate and supported by such data as the Engineer may reasonably
require. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not
incorporated in the work but delivered and suitably stored at or near the site, the
partial payment estimate shall also be accompanied by such supporting data,
satisfactory to the Owner, as will establish the Owner's title to the material and
equipment and protect his interest therein, including applicable insurance. The
Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of each partial payment estimate, either
indicate in writing his approval of payment and present the partial payment estimate
to the Owner, or return the partial payment estimate to the Contractor indicating in
writing his reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, the Contractor
may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the partial payment estimate. The
Owner will, within ten days of presentation to him of an approved partial payment
estimate, pay the Contractor a progress payment on the basis ofthe approved partial

payment estimate. The Owner shall retain ten (10%) percent of the amount of each
payment until final completion and acceptance of all work covered by the Contract
Documents. The Owner at any time, however, after fifty (50%) percent of the work
has been completed, ifhe finds that satisfactory progress is being made, shall make
payment on the current and remaining estimates, in full, so that the retained
percentage at the completion of the work will be approximately five (5%) percent.
On completion and acceptance of a part of the work on which the price is stated
separately in the Contract Documents, payment may be made in full, including
retained percentages, less authorized deductions.
2.
The request for payment may also include an allowance for the cost of such major
materials and equipment which are suitably stored either at or near the site.
3.
All work covered by partial payment shall thereupon become the sole property of the
Owner, but this provision shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor of the
sole responsibility for the care and protection ofthe work upon which payments have
been made or the restoration of any damaged work, or as a waiver ofthe right ofthe
Owner to require the fulfillment of all terms of the Contract Documents.
4.
Upon completion and acceptance of the work, the Engineer shall issue a certificate
attached to the final payment request that the work has been accepted by him under
the conditions of the Contract Documents. The entire balance found to be due the
Contractor, including the retained percentages shall be paid to the Contractor, except
such sums as may be lawfully retained by the Owner for saving the Owner or the
Owner's agents harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of
Subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of
machinery and parts thereof, equipment, tools and supplies, incurred in the
furtherance of the performance of the work. The Contractor shall, at the Owner's
request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature designated
above have been paid, discharged, or waived. If the Contractor fails to do so, the
Owner may, after having notified the Contractor, either pay unpaid bills or withhold
from the Contractor's unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably
sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is
furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the
Contractor shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of the Contract
Documents, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to
impose any obligations upon the Owner to either the Contractor, his Surety, or any
third party. In paying any unpaid bills ofthe Contractor, any payment so made by the
Owner shall be considered as a payment made under the Contract Documents by the
Owner to the Contractor and the Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any
such payments made in good faith.
5.
If the Owner fails to make payment 30 days after approval by the Engineer, in
addition to other remedies available to the Contractor, there shall be added to each
such payment, interest at the maximum legal rate commencing on the first day after
said payment is due and continuing until the payment is received by the Contractor.

EXCA V A TING, TRENCHING AND BACKFILLING FOR PIPE LINES
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 This section covers all excavation, trenching and backfilling for pipe lines, complete.
1.2 EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS:
A. The Contractor shall maintain in operating condition and protect from damage all
existing improvements including utilities, roads, streets, sidewalks, drives, power and
telephone lines, gas lines, water lines, sewers, gutters and other drains encountered, and
repair to the satisfaction of the Engineer any aerial, surface or subsurface improvements
damaged during the course of the work. Where and if shown on the plans, the locations
and existence or nonexistence of underground utilities are not guaranteed. The
Contractor shall contact the various utility companies to determine and/or verify such
information prior to proceeding with the work. He shall make reasonable and
satisfactory provisions for the maintenance of traffic on streets, drives, walkways and at
street crossings and if necessary to provide temporary walkways and bridges for crossing
of the open trench as directed.
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 EXCAVATION:
A. All excavation of every description and of whatever substances encountered shall be
performed to the depths indicated on the drawings or as specified herein. Excavation
shall be made by the open cut method except as otherwise specified or shown on the
drawings. Excavation methods shall comply with codes and ordinances of governing
authorities having jurisdiction and to the requirements of OSHA Health and Safety
Standards for Excavations, 29 CFR Part 1926, or successor regulations.
B. All excavated materials not required for fill or backfill shall be removed and wasted
as directed. The banks of shallow trenches shall be kept as nearly vertical as
practicable and where required shall be properly sheeted and braced. Except where
otherwise indicated, trench bottoms shall be not less than 12 inches wider nor more
than 16 inches wider than the outside diameter of the pipe to be laid therein, and shall
be excavated true to line, so that a clear space of not less than 6 inches nor m'ore than
8 inches in width is provided on each side of the pipe. The bottom of trenches shall
be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for each section of the
pipe on undisturbed soil at every point along its entire length, except for portions of
the pipe sections where it is necessary to excavate for bell holes and for the proper
sealing of pipe joints. Bell holes shall be dug after the trench bottom has been
graded. Bell holes shall be excavated only to an extent sufficient to permit accurate
work in the making of the joints and to insure that the pipe, for a maximum of its
length will rest upon the prepared bottom of the trench. Depressions for joints other
than mechanical shall be made in accordance with the recommendations of the joint

manufacturers for 'the particular joint used. Excavation for structures and other
accessories shall be sufficient to leave at least 12 inches in the clear between their
outer surfaces and the embankment or timber which may be used to hold the bank
and protect them. Where damage is liable to result from withdrawing sheeting, the
sheeting will be ordered to be left in place. Except at locations where excavation of
rock from the bottoms of trenches is required, care shall be taken not to excavate
below the depths indicated. Where rock excavation is required, the rock shall be
excavated to a minimum overdepth of 4 inches below the normal required trench
depth. The overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation shall be
backfilled with loose, moist earth, thoroughly tamped. Rock is defined as materials
which are so hard or cemented that the excavation of such material requires blasting.
The excavation shall proceed in a conventional manner with satisfactory effort made
to remove hard materials before the Engineer makes a determination of need for
blasting. Predrilling and blasting will be allowed, if the Contractor can provide
evidence for the Engineer's review that boring logs can and will show that the
material can or cannot be excavated. Evidence will be provided for the Engineer's
review and approval before predrilling and blasting is undertaken. The excavation
and removal of isolated boulders or rock fragments larger than one cubic yard in
volume encountered in materials of common excavation shall be classified as rock
excavation. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of properly
supporting the pipe, as determined by the Engineer or indicated on the drawings, is
encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be removed to a depth required for
the lengths designated by the Engineer, and the trench backfilled to trench bottom
grade, as herein specified, with coarse sand, fine gravel, or other suitable material.
Backfill with earth under structures will not be permitted and any unauthorized
excess excavation below the levels indicated for the foundation of such structures
shall be filled with sand, gravel, or concrete, as directed.
1. GRADING AND STACKING: All grading in the vicinity of trench excavation
shall be controlled to prevent surface ground water from flowing into the
trenches. Any water accumulated in the trenches shall be removed by pumping
or by other approved methods. During excavation, material suitable for
backfilling shall be stored in an orderly manner at a distance from the edges of
trenches to avoid overloading and prevent slides or cave-ins. Material unsuitable
for backfilling, as determined by the Engineer, shall be removed from the job site
and disposed of by the Contractor in a manner as approved by the Engineer.
2. SHORING AND SHEETING: All shoring, sheeting, and bracing required to
perform and protect the excavation and to safeguard employees and the public
shall be performed. The failure of the Engineer to direct the placing of such
protection shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for damage
resulting from its omission.
(a) Whenever sheeting is driven to a depth below the elevation of the top of the
pipe, that portion of the sheeting below the elevation of the top of the pipe
shall not be disturbed or removed. Sheeting left in place shall be cut off not
less than 1 foot below finished grade. No sheeting shall be removed until the
excavation is substantially backfilled as hereinafter specified.
3 . WATER REMOVAL: Where water is encountered, it shall be prevented from
accumulating in excavated areas by pumping, well-pointing and pumping, or by

other means approved by the Engineer as to capacity and effectiveness. Water
removed from excavations shall be discharged at points where it will not cause
injury to public or private property, or the work completed or in progress. Under
no circumstances shall trench bottoms be prepared, pipes laid, or appurtenances
installed in water. Water shall not be allowed to rise in unbackfilled excavations
after pipe or structures have been placed.
4. BLASTING: Explosives are to used only within legal limitations. Before
explosives are used, all necessary permits for this work shall be secured and all
precautions taken in the blasting operations to prevent damage to private or
public property or to persons. The Contractor shall assume full liability for any
damage that may occur during the use of explosives. No blast shall be set off
within 50 feet of pipe already laid in the trench.
5. TREE PROTECTION: Care shall be exercised to protect the roots of trees to be
left standing. Within the branch spread of the tree, trench ~hall be opened only
when the work can be installed immediately. Injured roots shall be pruned
cleanly and backfill placed as soon as possible.
2.2 BACKFILLING:
A. Trenches and other excavations shall not be backfilled until all required tests are
performed and the work has been approved by the Engineer. The trenches shall be
carefully backfilled with the excavated materials approved for backfilling consisting
of earth, loam, sandy clay, sand and gravel, soft shale, or other approved materials.
No material shall be used for backfilling that contains mulch, other unstable
materials, stones, blasted rock, broken concrete or pavement, or other hard materials
having any dimension greater than 4 inches; or large clods of earth, debris, frozen
earth or earth with an exceptionally high void content.
B. For backfill up to a level! foot over the top of pressure pipelines and 2 feet above
the top of gravity pipelines, only selected materials shall be used. Select materials
shall be finely divided material free from debris, organic material and stone, and may
be suitable job excavated material or shall be provided by the Contractor from other
sources. The backfill shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding 6 inches in
depth. Each layer shall be moistened and carefully and uniformly tamped with
mechanical tampers or other suitable tools. Each layer shall be placed and tamped
under the pipe haunches with care and thoroughness so as to eliminate the possibility
of voids or lateral displacement.
C. The remainder of the backfill material shall then be placed and compacted above the
level specified above. In areas not subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed in
12 inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to a density approximating
that of the surrounding earth. Under roadways, driveways, paved areas, parking lots,
along roadway shoulders and other areas subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed
in 6 inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to density at least equal to
that of the surrounding earth so that traffic can be resumed immediately after
backfilling is completed. Any trenches which are improperly backfilled, or where
settlement occurs, shall be reopened to the depth required for proper compaction,
then refilled and compacted with the surface restored to the required grade
compaction. Along all portions of the trenches not located in roadways, the ground

shall be graded to a reasonab,le uniformity and the mounding over the trenches left
in a neat condition satisfactory to the Engineer.
4. Sheeting not specified to be left in place shall be removed as the backfilling
progresses. Sheeting shall be removed in such a manner as to avoid caving of the
trench. Voids left by the removal of sheeting and shoring shall be carefully filled
and compacted. Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, damage is liable to result
from withdrawing sheeting, the sheeting will be ordered to be left in place.
C. BORING AND JACKING:
1. Where required by the drawings, the pipeline will be installed in a steel casing,
placed by boring and jacking. Where boring is required under highways, the
materials and workmanship will be in accordance with the standards of the State
Highway Department or local authority. Boring and jacking under railroads will be
governed by the latest A.R.E.A. standards and those of the railroad involved. The
steel casing shall be in accordance with ASTM A252 to the thicknesses shown on the
drawings.
D. PAVEMENT REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT:
1. Where necessary existing pavements shall be removed and replaced, the applicable
standards of the State Highway Department or local authority shall govern this work.
Joints shall be sawed, unless joints equally uniform in the opinion of the Engineer
result from other means. All pavement repairs shall consist of a concrete slab no less
than 6 inches thick or compacted graded aggregate at least 9 inches thick, as
indicated on the drawings. Where the parent pavement is concrete, the slab surface
shall be smoothly finished flush with the surrounding pavement. Where the parent
pavement is asphalt, the concrete slab shall be raked finished and topped with 1 inch
of surface mix asphalt paving rolled flush with the surrounding pavement.
III.EXECUTION
A. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:
1. Excavation and backfilling for pipelines and appurtenances, except as hereinafter
provided for, will be considered as incidental to the construction of the various
elements of the installation it is associated with, and no separate payment will be
made therefor.
2. When made at the direction of Engineer, trench rock excavation and backfill to
compensate for rock will be made at the unit contract pri.ce for rock excavation per
cubic yard measured in place.
3. When made at the direction of the Engineer, overcut and backfill to compensate for
inadequate foundation will be paid for at the unit contract price for overcut and clean
stone bedding, per ton of stone.

EROSION CONTROL MEASURES
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 DESCRIPTION
A. This section covers erosion control measures required on the job as shown on the plans.
These measures are minimum requirements and may be augmented by the Engineer if
positive control is not established.
B. The initial construction on the site is tentatively scheduled to begin on or about October,
2002. Final stabilization of the soils should be obtained by April, 2003.
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 MA TERlALS
A. Provide materials, not specifically described but required for proper completion of the
work of this Section, as selected by the Contractor subject to the approval of the Engineer.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN
A. Earth areas which are not to be paved should be grassed at the earliest possible time
during the construction phase, so as to minimize exposure to rainfall and runoff.
B. Temporary berms, wherever possible, should be constructed at the end of each day of
grading, in order to contain sediment and slow down erosion in the cut and fill areas,
should rainfall occur during the night. Berms should also be constructed, where needed,
to prevent sediment from being transported onto areas outside the actual construction
limits.
C. Silt and erosion barriers of the type which tend to filter suspended solids from the water
flowing through them should be employed to the extent necessary to contain most of the
water-borne silt. Examples of this type of barrier include silt fence, hay or straw bales,
windrows of limbs and laps, and stone or rubble riprap.
D. Sediment basins should be constructed as shown on plans and removed when final
stabilization is attained.

3.2 ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN
A. The plans for the prevention of erosion and sedimentation for this site are depicted on
Sheet(s) 4 of the plans. The elements of the plan are discussed as follows, and'are listed
in chronological order, as far as is practical. The construction activities should proceed
in the order listed.
1. Begin grading operations in the vicinity of the silt barriers shown on the drawings.
Immediately after the area has been cleared for their placement, install dams and
berms consisting of hay or straw bales or silt fences to be silt barriers as shown on the
drawings.
2. As grading operations commence, the topsoil should be stripped and stockpiled in
mounds surrounded by berms. Berms or windrows should be constructed each
afternoon at approximately 100 foot intervals across the graded areas, except in the
low-lying areas of the project. This action will tend to check erosion should rainfall
be experienced during the night.
3. Construction on the sanitary and storm sewer lines should be commenced as soon as
grading operations have been substantially completed. The disturbed strip along each
line which is located outside of paving should be grassed immediately upon the
completion of trench backfilling, as described below.
4. A graded depression around each catch basin on the site should be used to contain
sediment during construction. A ring of hay or straw bales, or silt fencing, secured
to the ground by means of two No.3 reinforcement bars or other suitable anchoring
method, should be installed around each catch basin site as soon as the drainage pipes
have been laid. These should be spaced leaving a gap of approximately three inches
between each bale where hay is used.
5. As soon as the graded areas which are not to be paved, to be built upon, or to receive
underground utilities have been brought to final grade, four inches of topsoil should

Federal Specification CCC-C-467b having a combined weight offourteen ounces or more
per square yard when dry. Mats shall overlap each other at least six inches. The mat shall
be thoroughly wetted with water prior to placing on the concrete surface and shall be kept
continuously in a saturated condition and in intimate contact with concrete for not less
than seven days.
C. Impervious Sheeting Method: The entire exposed surface shall be wetted with a fine
spray of water and then covered with waterproof paper conforming to ASTM Standard
C 171 63, or with wetted polyethylene coated burlap or polyethylene sheeting conforming
to the water retention requirements of ASTM Standard C 171-63; polyethylene sheeting
and polyethylene film bonded to burlap shall be not less than 0.004 inch thick.
1. Sheets shall be laid directly on the concrete surface with a light colored side up and
overlapped twelve inches when a continuous sheet is not used. The curing medium
shall not be less than eighteen inches wider than the concrete surface to be cured and
shall be securely weighted down by placing a bank of moist earth on the edges just
outside the forms and over the transverse laps offorn1 closed joints. Sheets shall be
satisfactorily repaired or replaced if damaged during curing. The curing medium
shall remain on the concrete surface to be cured for not less than seven days.
D. Membrane Curing Method: The entire exposed surfaces shall be covered with a clear
membrane forming curing compound. The curing compound shall be applied in two coats
by hand operated pressure sprayers at the coverage of approximately two hundred square
feet per gallon for both coats. The second coat shall be applied in the direction
approximately at right angles to the direction of application of the first coat. The
compound shall form a uniform continuous coherent film that will not check, crack, or
peel and shall be free from pin holes and other imperfections. Concrete surfaces that are
subjected to heavy rainfall within three hours after the curing compound has been applied
shall be res prayed by the method and at the coverage specified above at no additional cost
to the Owner. Joint openings shall be sealed at the top by inserting moistened paper or
fiber rope or covering with strips or waterproof paper prior to application of the curing
compound, in a manner to prevent the curing compound from entering thejoint. Concrete
surfaces to which membrane curing compounds have been applied shall be adequately
protected for seven days from pedestrian and vehicular traffic and from any other action
which might disrupt the continuity of the membrane. Any area covered with curing
compound and damaged by subsequent construction operations within the seven day
period shall be resprayed as specified above at no additional expense to the Owner.

E. Joints: Joints shall be formed, not simply stopped off, and such forms shall generally be
perpendicular to stress lines. Construction joints are best made at joints of minimum
shear, as for example midspan of slabs, joist, and beams. If joints are made at any other
point, the Engineer will design a shear-key of concrete with crossed reinforcing bars to
develop the shear.
F. Internal vibration is desirable, providing that it is not overdone. Care should be taken to
keep the vibrators off the reinforcing steel. If internal vibrators are not available,
handspading of the concrete into all recesses will be required.
G. Where work is stopped so that the concrete has hardened before placing is resumed, the
surface shall be left level or square by roughened and covered with wet burlap. When
starting again to place, clean the surface of all foreign matter and 2 laitance, slush with a
thin layer of mortar mix made with one part cement and two parts of sand. Furnish and
set dowels in all construction joints as called for on the plans or as directed by the
Engineer.
3.5 FINISHING
A. All floors shall be finished as follows:
1. Interior floor slabs shall have a "Steel Troweled Finish."
