Upon completion of a section of the sewer, the Contractor shall dewater it and conduct a
satisfactory test to measure the infiltration or exfiltration for at least three consecutive
days. The amount of infiltration including "Y" branches, and connections shall not
exceed 1 00 gallons per inch diameter per mile of sewer pipe per 24 hours for gravity
sewer pipe. The amount of 50 gallons per inch diameter per mile of sewer per 24 hours
shall not be exceeded for ductile iron pipe, The Contractor shall be responsible for the
satisfactory watertightness of the entire section of sewer.
As required, suitable bulkheads shall be installed to permit the test of the sewer, Where
the ground water level is less than 1 foot above the top of the pipe at its upper end, or as
directed by the Engineer, the sewer shall be subjected to exfiltration testing by plugging
the pipe at the lower end and then filling the pipelines and manholes with clean water to a
height 4 feet above the top of the sewer at its upper end. The leakage out of the sewer,
measured by the volume of the water necessary to maintain meter level in the highest
manhole, shall not exceed 200 gallons per inch diameter per 24 hours per mile of sewer
for gravity sewer pipe. The amount of 50 gallons per inch diameter per 24 hours per mile
of sewer shall not be exceeded for ductile iron pipe.
If the Contractor opts to use the low pressure air test, leakage tests on manholes shall be
conducted independently of the lines by using a hydraulic infiltrationlexfiltration test as
directed by the Engineer. The allowable infiltration into the manhole over a 24 hour
period is zero and the allowable ex filtration is also zero when tested by plugging off the
manhole and filling it with water four feet above the top of the sewer and measuring the
water loss over a 24 hour period.

The sewer shall be tested before any connections are made to buildings or to active
sewers.
The Contractor shall construct such weirs and bulkheads as may be required, shall furnish
all water, labor, test plugs, power, pumps, meters, and other equipment necessary for the
test to be properly made.
The Contractor' may use a low pressure air test as an option to the hydraulic
infiltrationJexfiltration leakage test for gravity lines provided the Contractor established a
correlation between the air test results and the quantity of infiltration/exfiltration actually
being experienced by the line and the allowable air pressure drop shall be that
corresponding to the allowable hydraulic leakage specified previously in this section.
Such a correlation is to be established according to a procedure satisfactory to the
Engineer. The low pressure air test shall be performed in accordance with the applicable
sections of the Urn-Bell UNI-B-6-90, latest version.

that the quantities shown for those items designated in the Bid Proposal as unit price items are
approximations prepared by OWNER for bid purposes and that the actual compensation payable to

quantities of items involved as measured in the field and required to complete the Work as originally defined
in the Contract Documents.

defined in these Contract Documents is required and affects the quantities required for items designed in the

application of the appropriate unit prices shown in the Bid Proposal to the quantity of the unit price item
required to complete the Work as defined in the Contract Documents.
11.3.3. Other Unit Prices. For items not designated in the bid proposal as unit prices, OWNER and
CONlRACTOR may establish unit prices as agreed on by Change Order.
11.3.4. Lump Sum. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion or revision to the
Work is required which results in a change in Work designated in the Bid Proposal as a lump sum item, the
amount of increase or decrease in the lump sum price shall be established by mutual agreement of the
parties.
11.3.5. If the pricing methods specified in 11.3 are inapplicable, or if the parties are unable to agree
on a price for the changed work, a reasonable price for the same shall be established by OWNER in
accordance with 11.4 and 11.5. OWNER shall then process a unilateral Change Order, specifying the said
reasonable price, in accordance with 11.4 through 11.6, CONlRACTOR shall perform the Work as directed in
the Change Order.

One Year Correction Period:
13.12. If, after approval of final payment and prior to the expiration of one year after the date of

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 not be limited to fees and charges of
PROFESSIONAls, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONAls). If any such acceptance occurs prior to
PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the
necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work and OWNER shall be entitled to an
appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the panics are unable to agree as to the amount thereof.

13.14. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of PROFESSIONAL to
proceed to correct and to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by
PROFESSIONAL in accordance with paragraph 13.11, or if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in

Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven days' written notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any
such deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph OWNER shall proceed
expeditiously, to the extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, OWNER may exclude
CONTRACTOR from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend
CONTRACTOR's services related thereto, take possession of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction
equipment and machinery at the site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the
site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall allow
OWNER, OWNER's representatives, agents and employees such access to the site as may be necessary to
enable OWNER to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and
consequential costs of OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against CONTRACTOR
in an amount approved as to reasonableness by PROFESSIONAL, and a Change Order will be issued
incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall
be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefore as provided in Article 11. Such direct, indirect and
consequential costs will include but not be limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONAls, architects,
attorneys and other PROFESSIONAls, all court costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others
destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective Work,
CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in performance of
the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder,

shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not
consider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the

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

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 therefore. If PROFESSIONAL considers that part of the Work to
be substantially complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification

access thereto.

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

APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
The sample form of Schedule of Values is intended as a guide only. Many projects require a more
extensive form with space for numerous items, descriptions of Change Orders, identification of variable
quantity adjustments, summary of materials and equipment stored at the site and other information. It is
expected that a separate form will be developed byE ngineer and Contractor at the time Contractor's
Schedule of Values is finalized. Note also that the format for retainage must be changed if the Contract
permits (or the law provides), and Contractor elects to deposit securities in lieu of retainage. Refer to
Article 14 of the General Conditions for provisions concerning payments to Contractor.
The Schedule 0 fV alues, submitted and approved as provided in paragraphs 2.05.B.3 and 2.07 of the
General Conditions, should be reproduced as appropriate in the space indicated on the Application for
Payment form. Note that the cost of materials and equipment is often listed separately from the cost of
installation. Also, note that each Unit Price is deemed to include Contractor's overhead and profit.
All Change Orders affecting the Contract Price should be identified and included in the Schedule 0 f
Values as required for progress payments.
The form is suitable for use in the Final Application for Payment as well as for Progress Payments;
however, the required accompanying documentation is usually more extensive for final payment. All
accompanying documentation should be identified in the space provided on the form.
C. LEGAL REVIEW
I

CHANGE ORDER
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract
Price or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into
a subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times.
Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The
practice of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes.
If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times,
a Field Order should be used.
B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM
Engineer normally initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon
documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from Owner, or both.
Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner Or Contractor for approval,
depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated
agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party, all copies should be sent
to the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both
parties.
If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply.

Attention: Mr. Rich Laschober, P.E.
Re: Soil Test Borings
Augusta-Richmond County Sewer Line
Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia
Job No. U1227, Report No. 20095
OORE, Inc. has completed soil test borings for the referenced project in accordance with our
proposal No. 02073 dated July 17, 2002. Test boring records are attached.
Project Information. The site is located in Richmond County near the landfill. The project
consists of approximately 48,000 linear feet of sewer line in three phases. Maximum depth of the
line is approximately 15 feet. About one third of the first phase is in an area that is inaccessible by
vehicles. The purpose of these soil borings is to identify subsurface conditions, soil types, and
groundwater.
Field Exploration Methods. A total of 25 borings were completed for Phases I & 1\ of the
Jamestown Sewer Extension. Five hand auger borings were completed in inaccessible areas of
the site and twenty borings were completed with a truck mounted drill rig. A boring location plan
and test boring records are attached.
The geotechnical exploration began with a visual site reconnaissance performed by a member of
our professional staff. Our personnel located the soil test borings by estimating right angles and
measuring distances from existing features. Borings HA 1 through HA5 were performed by a crew
of two technicians using a hand auger. They also collected samples for review by our engineer.
The approximate boring locations are illustrated on the Boring Location Plan in the Appendix. Due
to the methods used, the locations of the borings should be considered approximate. Because
topographic information was not provided, ground surface elevations are not included on the
Boring Records.

Augusta-Richmond County Sewer Line
Job No. U1227, Report No. 20095
September 20,2002
Paqe 2
Soil test borings B1 through B20 were performed utilizing a truck-mounted CME55 drill rig. The
soil test borings were drilled by mechanically advancing hollow stem augers into the ground.
Standard penetration tests (SPT) were performed with a rope and cathead at regular intervals in
the borings to estimate soil consistency and to obtain soil samples. Portions of each sample were
transported to our laboratory for engineering review and visual classification. The depth to
groundwater was measured in the borings at the time of drilling. Soil descriptions, standard
penetration test results, and other subsurface data are presented in the Soil Test Boring Records
in the Appendix.
The procedures used by OORE for field sampling and testing were performed according to ASTM
procedures and established engineering practice. In addition to the Boring Location Plan and the
Soil Test Boring Records, the Appendix contains more detailed descriptions of our drilling
procedures and other information pertinent to the geotechnical engineering aspects of this report.
Subsurface Conditions. Subsurface conditions consisted generally of sands, silty sands, and
clayey sands with some clay. Rock was not encountered, but some dense/hard sandy clay and
clay zones were encountered, especially in borings B2, B14, B16, and B18.
Along Spirit Creek, the alluvial soil was predominately very loose sands with some areas of high
organic content. Some borings were terminated when they encountered buried logs or stumps.
Groundwater was not encountered in the Phase II borings performed with the truck mounted drill
rig. However, groundwater levels fluctuate with seasonal and yearly rainfall variations.
Groundwater was encountered in the hand auger borings along Spirit Creek and will likely be a
significant factor during construction.
The above discussion and our Test Boring Records do not reflect variations in the subsurface
conditions, which are likely to exist intermediate of our borings, and in unexplored areas of the
site. These variations are due to the inherent variability of the subsurface conditions in this
geologic region as well as past land uses.
OORE appreciates the opportunity to perform these borings. OORE can provide additional
services necessary to develop this project, including environmental assessment. Please call us if
you have any questions about this report or our services.

SOIL TEST BORING, ASTM 0-1586
The borings were made with a hollow-stem auger powered by a 125-horsepower drill rig. At
regular intervals, soil samples were obtained through the hollow augers with a standard 1.4-inch
1.0., 2.0-inch 0.0. split-tube sampler.
The sampler was initially seated 6 inches to penetrate any loose cuttings; then driven an
additional foot with blows of a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of hammer
blows required to drive the sampler the final foot was recorded and is designated as the standard
penetration resistance. Penetration resistance, when properly evaluated, is an index to soil
strength and density.
In the field, the driller logged and described the samples as they were obtained. Representative
portions of each soil sample were then sealed in labeled glass jars and transported to our
laboratory. The samples were examined by a graduate geotechnical engineer or engineering
geologist to visually check the field descriptions. Boring data, including sample intervals,
penetration resistances, soil descriptions, and groundwater level are shown on the attached Test
Boring Records.
