Contractor does hereby agree, as a part of the consideration
for the awarding of this contract, to pay the Owner the sum of
Five Hundred Dollars ($500), not as a penalty, but as
liquidated damages for such breach of contract as 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

the amount except as set forth in the specifications attached
hereto.

On no later than the fifth day every month, the
Contractor shall submit to the Owner's Engineer an estimate
covering the percentage of the total amount of the Contract
which has been completed from the start of the job up to and
including the last working day of the proceeding month,
together with such supporting evidence as may be required by
the Owner and/or the Engineer. This estimate shall include
only the quantities in place and at the unit prices as set
forth in the Bid Schedule.

made, pay to the Contractor 90% of the amount of the estimate
on units accepted in place. The 10% retained percentage may be
held by the Owner until the final completion and acceptance of
all work under the Contract.

of Ch&!rter 16 of Title '.2 of the Of:icial Co!:!e ~')f Georgia Annotated, the
Geo:-giCi Environmental Polic)' Act (GEPA), of 199i. In compliance with GEPA,
~~ose projects for Hhich Federal funding is so~ght, and NEPA, cOiApliance is
accomplished, are exempt fro~ the requirements of GEPA.
C~?A requires that environment~l documentation be accomplished for County
or City projects if more than 50, percent of the total project cost 1s funded
by a grant of a State Agency or a grant of more than $250,000 is made by the
State Agency to the municipality or Coun':y. The "responsible official of
the government agency shall determine if a proposed governmental Ac':ion is
a proposed governmental action which may significantly adversely' affect the
quality of the environment".

of projects funded with state money "'ould not be cubject to environmental
assessment of any kind. Hearing procedures outlined in GEPA would not
be applicable.
1. Minor roadway 2nd non-historic bridge projects.
a. Moderni%a~ion of an existing high",.y by resurfacing, restoration,
rehabil~tation, adding shoulders, Widening a single lane or

b. The investigation by the Department will include but not necessarily be limited to the
taking of six-inch cores from typical visually unacceptable segregated areas for enraction and
i1'adation analysis. Determination of the extent of any needed corrective work to the in.place mat will
be in accordance with 400.07.G.3. below.
e. Work will be allowed to continue only after the Contractor lubmits a written plan of
measureS and/or actions which will be taken to prevent further segregation and the plan is approved
by the Department.
d. When work resumes, the Contractor will be allowed to place a test section not to exceed
500 tons of the affected minure, for evaluation by'the Department. However, if after a few loads it is
apparent that the corrective actions taken were not adequate, the measures described beginning with

L The Contractor may elect to continue work at his own risk; however, an immediate
investigation will be initiated by the Department to determine the severity of the apparent
Begrei1ltion. Also.. the Contractor shall immediately and continually adjust his operation until the
viaually apparent eegregated areas are ,.Hmi"Ated from the finished ,mat.
b. The investigation by the Department will include but not necessarily be limited to the
taking of six.inch cores frOm typical areas olsuspect aegreration and testing for compliance with the
Mixture Control Tolerances in Section 828.
Co When these tolerances are exceeded, work will be suspended for corrective action as
outlined in 400.07Gl. above.
S. Corrective Work: A:1Jy &egrepted area found to vary 10% or more on the Control Sieves from
the approved Job Mix Formula will be subject to removal and replacement at the Contractor's
expense. The control sieves for each mix type are as shown in Sub-Section 400.07.A. For subsurface
mirtures. the removal and replacement may be limited to the actual segregated areas or at the full'
lane width within the limits olindividual segregated are8a, at the Contractor's discretion and 88
approved by the Engineer. For surface mixes, the removal and replacement shall not be less than the
full width of the affected lane and ten feet in length. All surface tolerance requirements will apply to
the corrected areas for both subsurface and surface mixes.
