fire, unavoidable casualties, utility conflicts which could not have been
identified or ~oreseen by CONTRACTOR using reasonable diligence, or any causes
beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault, then the Contract Time shall be extended
by Change Order for such reasonabl~ time as OWNER may determine. CONTRACTOR
shall be entitled to an extension of time for such causes only for the number
of days of delay which OWNER may determine to be due solely to such causes and
only to the extent such occurrences actually delay the completion of the Work
and then only if CONTRACTOR shall have strictly complied with all the
requirements of the Contract Documents. Provided, however, notwithstanding
anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, no interruption,
interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the performance, progress,
commencement or completion of the Work for any cause whatsoever, including

eliminated. However, this right of OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise
to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of
CONTRACTOR or any other party. CONTRACTOR shall have no right to claim an

I
I
I
I
increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop

OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such
costs to be approved by PROFESSIONAL as to reasonableness and to include but

documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment
free and clear of all liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are
covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect
OWNER's interest therein, all of which will be satisfactory to OWNER. Payment

I
14.4. PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt
of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation

corrections and resubmit the application. 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.
I
I
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 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.
Change Order.
the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete
Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14. or
14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of
the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by
PROFESSIONAL because claims have been made against OWNER on account of
CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed
in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a
set-off against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR
immediate written notice (with a copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for
such action.
Substantial. CCllllp~etion:
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended
use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire
Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by
CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issue a certificate
of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of the Work to determine
the status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider the Work
41
I
I
I
I
substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving
the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially
complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative
certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial
Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of
items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have
seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make
written objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any provisions of the certificate or
attached list. If, after considering such objections. PROFESSIONAL concludes
that the Work is not substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within fourteen
days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR
in writing. stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's
objections, PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete,
PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes
from the tentative certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes justified after
consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the
tentative certificate of Substantial Completion PROFESSIONAL will deliver to
OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of
responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities,
insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in
wri ting and so inform PROFESSIONAL prior to PROFESSIONAL's issuing the
defini ti ve certificate of Substantial Completion, PROFESSIONAL's aforesaid
recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
I
I
I
I
I
I
14.9. OWNER shall have the right.to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work
after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR

for its intended purpose without significant interference with CONTRACTOR's
performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to
Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following.
I
I
14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit
OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for
its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR
will certify to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that said part of the Work is
substantially complete and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CONTRACTOR at any time may
notify, OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such
part of the Work ready for its intended use and substantially complete and
request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that
part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of that part of the Work
to determine its status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider that
part of the Work to be substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify. OWNER
and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL
considers that part o(the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions
I
I
I
I
42
I
I
I
I
I
of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of
Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of
responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
I
14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit
OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it is not
substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to PROFESSIONAL
and within a reasonable time thereafter OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL
shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of
completion and will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or
corrected thereon before final payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writ-
ing to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that such part of the Work is not ready for
separate operation by OWNER, PROFESSIONAL will finalize the list of items to
be completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR
together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities
pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security,
operation, safety, maintenance, utilities, insurance, warranties and
guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and
CONTRACTOR at the time when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall
have otherwise agreed in writing and so informed PROFESSIONAL). During such

particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or
defective. CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary
to remedy such deficiencies.
I
Final. Appl.ication for Payment:
I
14 .12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the
satisfaction of PROFESSIONAL and OWNER and delivered in accordance with the

documents, CONTRACTOR may make application for final payment following the
procedure for progress payments. The final Application for Payment shall be
accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called

EXCAVATION, FILLING AND BACKFILLING
I
Trenches for gravity lines shall be excavated below the pipe invert to provide
space for the pipe bedding. WJ:1ere good soil or rock is encountered in the
trench bottom, the excavation shall be carried below the bottom of the pipe a
distance of 4 inches or one-eighth the outside diameter .of the pipe, whichever
is greater.
B
I
Where rock is encountered in the trench bottom, the excavation shall be carried
below the bottom of the pipe a distance of 6 inches or one-eighth the outside
diameter of the pipe, whichever is greater. Where, in the opinion of the
Engineer, the natural trench bottom is soil which is incapable of
satisfactorily supporting the pipe, such unsuitable soil shall be removed to
the depth required as determined at the site. The trench bottom shall then be
refilled with crushed stone, placed in 8 inch layers and compacted at optimum
moisture content. Each layer shall be thoroughly tamped. The refill shall be
brought to the proper elevation for the pipe.
I
I
DewaterinG and DrainaGe of Excavated Areas: Grading in the vicinity of
structures shall be controlled to prevent surface water from running into
excavated areas. Dewatering by pumping or wel1pointing from excavated areas
shall be performed by the Contractor to provide a stable excavation and a firm
pit or trench bottom. Dewa~ering shall incur no extra cost to the Owner.
I
I
All dewatering methods shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer as to
capacity and effectiveness. Water removed from the excavated areas shall be
conveyed in a proper manner to a suitable point of discharge where it will
neither cause injury to public health, public or private property, the surface
or use of streets by the public or work completed or in progress.
I
Protection AGainst Flotation: To guard against the danger of flotation of
empty or partially empty pipe due to a high water table, all dewatering
operations shall be continued without interruption until such time as
sufficient backfill has been placed over the top of the pipe to overcome the
buoyancy effect of a completely empty pipe which is entirely submerged.
I
I
ShorinG and Protection of Excavations: Shoring shall be provided by the
Contractor as necessary to protect life or property. All existing structures,
streets, pipes, and foundations which are not to be removed or relocated shall
be adequately protected or replaced by the Contractor without cost to the
Owner. The Contractor shall adequately protect the work under construction and
the safety of his workmen in - excavations by the use of suitable sheeting,
shoring and bracing, or by sloping the banks in accordance with the angle of
repose of the soil.
I
I
I
The Contractor alone is responsible for any damage or injury resulting from his
failure either to provide adequate protection from the excavation or to comply
with OSHA requirements.
I
Excess Material: Excess material to be used for backfill or stored for later
use shall be stockpiled. Excavated material shall be deposited a sufficient
distance ftom the side of excavation walls to prevent excessive surcharge on
the wall. Excess excavated material not suitable for backfill or filling
shall be wasted within the limits of the site, graded and grassed as directed

I
The pipe shall be bedded in compacted bedding material placed on the trench
bottom. The bedding material shall be well-graded crushed stone or crushed
gravel meeting the requirements of ASTM C-33, Gradation 67 (3/4 inches to No.
4). The bedding shall have a minimum thickness beneath the bottom of the pipe
of 4 inches or one-eighth of the outside diameter of the pipe, wnichever is
greater, and shall extend up the sides of the pipe one-sixth of the outside
diameter of the pipe for VC pipe and 6" above the pipe for PVC pipe. Holes
must be dug in the bedding for each bell or coupling so that the load is
supported entirely by the pipe barrel, not the pipe bell or coupling. After
each pipe has been placed in final position, bedding material shall be placed
and compacted under the pipe haunches and on each side of the pipe to prevent
lateral displacement. "Shovel-slicing' of crushed stone bedding shall be done
using a crow bar heavy enough to penetrate the bedding material. The pipe
bedding shall be thoroughly compacted throughout its depth.

WORKMANSHIP:
o
u
Placinq: eoncrete shall not be cast without approval of the Resident
Project Representative prior to ordering concrete. In accordance with the
recommendations of "Guide for Consolidation of Concrete", ACI Committee 309,
concrete shall be placed in the forms and mechanically vibrated to produce
concrete without segregation or honeycomb. Slabs and beam stems shall be
placed in one operation. Concrete shall be placed continuously between
construction joints. ,Each batch shall be placed into the edge of previously
placed concrete to avoid stone pockets and segregation. If there is a delay
in placement, the concrete placed after the delay shall be thoroughly spaded
and consolidated by mechanical vibration. During the casting of wall
sections not less than two mechanical vibrators shall be operated
continuously for each casting location. The concrete shall not be freely
dropped more than 6 feet, nor moved horizontally, after being deposited,
more than 5 feet. The Contractor shall provide sufficient "windows", chutes
or other means or methods of depositing the concrete to comply with these
requirements. The concrete shall be brought to correct level with a
straight edge and struck off. Bullfloats shall be used to smooth the
surface of slabs. Power floating of the slabs shall begin when the water
sheen has disappeared, and/or the mix has stiffened sufficiently that the
weight of a man standing on it leaves only a slight imprint on the surface.
I
I
I
I
I
Reinforcinq bars shall be free from scale, oil, and structural defects. The
system of holding the bars in place shall insure that all steel in the top
layer will support the weight of the workman without displacement and be
placed in accordance with ACI Codes 318 and 3l5. Reinforcement in slabs on
grade shall be supported on stable concrete supports. All reinforcing steel
within the limits of a day's pour shall be in place and firmly wired before
concrete placement starts.
I
I
Construction ;oints shall be formed at the locations shown on the plans,
unless specifically approved by the Engineer. Joints which must be formed
in other locations shall be waterstopped where appropriate, shall be
adequately keyed and doweled, and shall be formed along either a horizontal
or a vertical line.
I
I
Curinq and Protection: All freshly cast concrete shall be protected from
the damaging effects of the elements - freezing, rapid drop in temperature,
and loss of moisture, and from future construction operations. The
Contractor shall maintain the concrete temperature above 500F for the first
10 days after placing. All concrete shall be cured by flooding with clean
water or by keeping forms and other protecting material wet with clean water
for a minimum of lO days. All surfaces neither protected by forms nor
covered with water for the entire lO day period shall be kept wet and
covered with curing paper meeting the requirements of the specification for
sheet materials for euring eoncrete, ASTM e l7l. If a floor is left
uncovered during the curing period, a film of water shall be clearly visible
at all times on the entire surface of the slab.
I
I
I
I
Membrane Curinq Compound may be used in lieu of water curing on concrete
which will not be covered later with topping, mortar, or additional
concrete. Membrane curing compound shall be spray applied at a coverage of
not more than 300 square feet per gallon. Unformed surfaces shall be
covered with curing compound within 30 minutes after final finishing. If

forms are removed before the end of the specified curing period, curing
compound shall be immediately applied to the formed surfaces before they dry
out. Curing compound shall be suitably protected from abrasion during the
curing period.
I
Removal of Forms: The forms shall not be removed until the concrete has
attained sufficient strength to prevent cracking or other injury, but in no
case less than 75% of its design strength. When forms are removed, the
Contractor shall place adequate reshores to prevent injury to the concrete
by construction loads.. The sole responsibility for safe practice in this
regard shall be the Contractor's.
I
I
eONCRETE FINISHES:
I
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.
I
I
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 "re-set". 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.
I
I
I
I
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. Irregulari ties 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.
I
I
I
Broom Finish: Surfaces of the roof slab, and exterior walkways 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.
I
Standard Towel Finish: All interior floors shall be trowel finished. Both
power and hand troweling shall be required. Power troweling shall begin as

I
I
soon as little or no cement paste clings to the blade. Troweling shall be
continued until the surface is dense, smooth, and free of all minor
blemishes, such as trowel marks. Hand troweling shall be required to remove
slight imperfections left by the troweling machine and to bring the surface
to a dense smooth finish. Sprinkling of dry cement or a mixture of dry
cement and sand on the surface of the fresh concrete shall not be permitted.
o
SAMPLES AND TESTS:
D
I
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 laboratory, testing for slump
and air content, and for conducting load tests, if required. The Owner will
pay directly for any excess 28 day tests of the concrete cylinders molded
during the progress of the work. Tests made at the age of 7 days will be at
the Contractor's expense. Before proceeding with the mix design, the
Contractor shall obtain approval by the Engineer of the testing laboratory.
Tests not specifically indicated to be done at the Owner's expense,
including the retesting of rejected materials and installed work, shall be
done at the Contractor's expense.
I
I
I
Cylinders: Make one strength test per 50 yards of each class of concrete
placed but not less than one for each days pour. Mold and cure three
cylinders for each strength test in accordance with ASTM C 31. Test two
cylinders after 28 days for acceptance in accordance with ASTM e 39; test
the third cylinder only where either of the tests of the two cylinders is
irregular or unacceptable. Additional cylinders must be molded if 7 day
test is made at contractor's option.
I
I
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.
,I
I
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

acceptable provided they are properly shredded or ground. Mulch materials
which contain seeds of species of weeds or plants which would germinate and
be harmful to the proposed planting will not be accepted. Before collection
of mulch material is begun or delivery is made, the Contractor shall submit
samples for approval. Only approved mulch from approved sources will be
accepted.
I
m
Water for use in connection with the grassing operation may be purchased
from the Utility System, or obtained from any other approved source. Such
water shall be free of excess chlorine, or other chemicals or substances
harmful to plant growth.
GROUND PREPARATION:
I
Prior to preparing the ground for grassing operations, all weeds, brush and
other vegetation in the areas to be planted which has not been removed
during clearing and grubbing and grading operations shall be removed from
the site. All irregularities in the surface shall be smoothed out and all
roots, stone and other foreign material to tillage, planting and proper
growth and maintenance of the grass shall be removed. In all areas where
the topsoil has been removed during grading operations, the topsoil which
has been stockpiled shall be returned and evenly distributed over these
areas. Objectionable foreign materials contained in the topsoil shall also
be removed as the topsoil is distributed. Herbicides used for weed control
shall conform to SC-13.
I
I
I
LIMING AND FERTILIZING:
I
After the areas to be seeded have been brought to finished grade,
agricul tural lime and fertilizer conforming to the requirements of this
specification shall be uniformly distributed over the areas, lime at the
rate of one ton per acre and fertilizer at the rate of lOOO pounds per acre.
In areas where mechanical spreaders cannot be used, the lime and fertilizer
may be applied by hand methods. The lime and fertilizer shall not be
applied when the wind makes it difficult to obtain satisfactory
distribution.
I
I
TILLAGE:
I
The lime and fertilizer shall be thoroughly and uniformly mixed with the
soil to a depth of approximately 3" by plowing, discing and harrowing until
the soil is friable and well pulverized. Hand tillage will be required in
all areas where mechanical equipment cannot be operated.
I
SEEDING:
I
I
Hulled Bermuda grass seed conforming to the requirements of this
specification shall be uniformly sown by approved mechanical power drawn
drills or seeders or, in small areas, by mechanical hand seeders, at the
rate of 40 pounds per acre; Lespedeza at 75 pounds per acre. The seeds
shall be covered and compacted to a depth of 1/8 to 1/2 inch by means of a
cultipacker and an empty traffic roller or another roller weighing less than

o
3 tons. Broadcast seeding shall not be done when the wind makes it
difficul t to get satisfactory distribution. The Bermuda grass seed shall
not be planted prior to April 15 or after September 15. Seed shall not be
sown' unless the soil has the optimum moisture content or more through a
depth of at least 3 inches.
I
WATERING:
I
After the seeds have been sown, the moisture content of the soil will be
tested. If there is not. enough moisture in the soil to insure germination
and adequate plant growth, water shall be applied by sprinkling until an
adequate moisture content has been reached. In the absence of adequate
rainfall during the germination and early growth period, the Contractor will
be required to maintain the required adequate moisture content of the soil
by periodic sprinkling operations.
I
I
MULCHING:
I
Mulching of seeded areas will not be required but may be employed at the
option of the Contractor as an aid in reducing erosion and conserving soil
moisture. If employed, the mulch shall conform to the requirements of this
specification. The rate of application of the mulch depends on the texture
of the mulch. The proper application will allow some sunlight to penetrate
and air to circulate, at the same time shading the ground. If desired,
immediately after the mulch is spread, the material may be anchored to the
soil by a cultipacker, disc harrow, or other suitable equipment.
I
I
ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE:
m
The Contractor is responsible for providing a satisfactory stand of living
seeded grass in which gaps larger than 12 inches do not occur at the time of
acceptance of the project. Any areas which fail to show a uniform stand for
any reason whatsoever, shall be reseeded with Hulled Bermuda seed, and such
reseeding shall be repeated until acceptance by the Engineer. The
Contractor shall properly water, mow and otherwise maintain all planted
areas and any damage resulting from erosion, washing or other causes, shall
be repaired by fill topsoil, tamping, refertilizing and reseeding at no
additional expense to the Owner, if such damage occurs prior to acceptance
of the project.
I
I
GRASSING TO eONTROL EROSION:
I
In the event completion of grading operations of areas to be planted extends
beyond the specified grassing periods, grassing must be postponed until the
following spring season. The Contractor will be permitted to seed such
areas with Rye qrass at his own expense, or by mulchinq shall control
erosion of the qraded areas. All mowing and maintenance operations during
the fall and winter seasons will be the obligation of the Contractor.
Erosion must be controlled by acceptable methods to prevent damage to the
Owner's property or to adjacent property owners, and to limit migration of
silt to the streams.
