General Conditions
No claim for extra work will be considered unless said extra work was ordered in
writing as aforesaid and the claim presented in writing to the Engineer within 30 days
after receipt by the Contractor of the written order to perform said extra work.
If the performance of the extra work results in additional time being required by the

If the Contractor does not immediately notify the Owner in writing of the belief that a field
order, additional work by other contractors or the Owner, or subsurface, latent or unusual
unknown conditions entitles the Contractor to a Change Order, no consideration for time
or money will be given the Contractor.
The Owner may, with the Contractor's concurrence, elect to postpone the issuance of a
Change Order until such time that a single Change Order of substantial importance can
be issued incorporating several changes. In such cases, the Owner will indicate this

assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for
the CONTRACTOR or for any of his property, or if he files a petition to take advantage
of any debtor's act, or to reorganize under the bankruptcy or applicable laws, or if he
fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or suitable materials or equipment, or if he
fails to make prompt payments to SUBCONTRACTORS or for labor, materials, or
. equipment or if he disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders of any
public body having jurisdiction of the WORK or if he disregards the authority of the
ENGINEER, or if he otherwise violates any provision of the CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS, then the OWNER may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy
and after giving the CONTRACTOR and his surety a minimum of ten (10) days from
delivery of a WRITTEN NOTICE, terminate the services of the CONTRACTOR and
take possession of the PROJECT and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction
equipment, and machinery thereon owned by the CONTRACTOR, and finish the
WORK by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case the
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is
finished. If the unpaid balance of the CONTRACT PRICE exceeds the direct and
indirect costs of completing the PROJECT, including compensation for additional
professional services, such excess SHALL BE PAID TO THE CONTRACTOR. If such
costs exceed such unpaid balance, the CONTRACTOR will pay the difference to the
OWNER. Such costs incurred by the OWNER will be determined by the ENGINEER
and incorporated in a CHANGE ORDER.
Where the CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by the OWNER, said
termination shall not affect any right of the OWNER against the CONTRACTOR then
existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of monies by the
OWNER due to the CONTRACTOR will not release the CONTRACTOR from
compliance with the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
After ten (10) days from delivery of a WRITTEN NOTICE to the CONTRACTOR and
the ENGINEER, the OWNER may, without cause and without prejudice to any other
right or remedy, elect to abandon the PROJECT and terminate the CONTRACT. In
such case, the CONTRACTOR shall be paid for all WORK executed plus reasonable
profit.
If the performance of all or any portion of the WORK is suspended, delayed, or
interrupted as a result of a failure of the OWNER or ENGINEER to act within a
reasonable time, an adjustment in the CONTRACT PRICE or an extension of the
CONTRACT TIME, or both, shall be made by CHANGE ORDER to compensate the
CONTRACTOR for the costs and delays necessarily caused by the failure of the
OWNER or ENGINEER.
The Contractor shall not suspend the work and shall not remove any equipment, tools,
supplies, materials, or other items without the written permission of the Owner or
Engineer.

once a month), the CONTRACTOR will submit to the ENGINEER a partial payment
estimate filled out, and signed by the CONTRACTOR 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 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 pay the
CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of the 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, if he finds that satisfactory progress is being made, may
reduce retainage to five (5%) percent on the current and remaining estimates. When
the WORK is SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE (operational or beneficial occupancy),
the retained amount will be further reduced below five (5) percent to two hundred
(200) percent of the value of the outstanding Work. 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.
19.2 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.
19.3 Prior to SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, the OWNER, with the concurrence of the
CONTRACTOR, may use any completed or SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED portions
of the' WORK. Such use shall not constitute an acceptance of such portions of the
WORK.
19.4 The OWNER shall have the right to enter the premises for the purpose of doing work
not covered by the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. This provision Shall not be construed
as relieving the CONTRACTOR of the sole responsibility for the care and protection of
the WORK, or the restoration of any damaged WORK except such as may be caused
by agents or employees of the OWNER.

Form.
19.13 If the Contract is based on a lump sum bid, the measurement of quantities for
progress estimates and progress payment requests will be made by the Contractor,
subject to the Engineer's approval, and will be based on items of work and the value
thereof contained in the Contractor's Schedule of Values. A final measurement of
quantities will not be required.
19.14 The Contractor may submit to the Engineer, on forms furnished by the Engineer, a
progress payment request for the amount of work accomplished, products furnished,
and products stored at the site during the previous month. Ten (10) signed copies of
each request shall be furnished. The progress payment request shall be signed by the
Contractor and be supported by such data as the Engineer may reasonably require. If
payment is requested for products not incorporated in the work but delivered and
suitably stored at or near the site, the progress payment request shall also be
accompanied by such supporting data, satisfactory to the Owner, as will establish the
Owner's title to said products and protect his interest therein, including appropriate
insurance. The Contractor shall furnish a proper and duly executed written
authorization designating those persons who will be autho~ized to sign and/or certify
progress payment requests for the Contractor.
19.15 It is understood and agreed that the approval of the progress payment request and

materials, or products and shall not relieve the Contractor in any way from his
responsibilities and obligations under these Contract Documents.
19.16 A partial payment will not be made when, in the judgment of the Owner or the
Engineer, the work is not proceeding in accordance with any of the provisions of these

Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples
General
Description and Requirements
A.
Type of Submittals
This Section of the specifications describes the procedures for submittals such as
shop drawings, product data, samples and miscellaneous work-related submittals. It
does not include the submittals required for administrative work.
B.
Submittal Contents
The submittal contents required are specified in each section.
C.
Definitions
Submittals are categorized as follows:
1. Shop Drawings
a. Shop drawings shall include technical data, drawings, diagrams,
performance curves, schedules, templates, patterns, reports, calculation,
instructions, measurements and similar information as applicable to
specific item for which the shop drawing is prepared.
b. Provide newly-prepared information, on reproducible sheets, with graphic
information at accurate scale (except as otherwise indicated) or
appropriate number of prints hereof, with name or preparer (firm name)
indicated. The Contract Drawings shall not be traced or reproduced by
any method for use as or in lieu of detail shop drawings. Show

Shop Drawings, Product Data, And Samples
B. Coordination of Submittal Times
Prepare and transmit each submittal to the Engineer sufficiently in advance of
performing related work or other applicable activities, so the installation will not be
delayed or improperly sequenced by processing times, including non-approval and
resubmittal (if required). Coordinate with other submittals, testing, purchasing,
delivery and similar sequenced activities. No extension of time will be authorized
because of Contractors failure to transmit submittals to the Engineer sufficiently in
advance of the work.
C. Sequencing Requirements
As applicable in each instance, do not proceed with a unit of work until submittal
procedures have been sequenced with related units of work, in a manner which will
ensure that the action will not need to be later modified or rescinded by reason of a
subsequent submittal which should have been processed earlier or concurrently for
coordination.
D. Preparation of Submittals
Provide permanent marking on each submittal to identify project, date, Contractor,
subcontractor, submittal name and similar information to distinguish it from other
subniittals. Show Contractor's executed review and approval marking and provide
space for the Engineer's "Action" marking. Package each submittal appropriately for
transmittal and handling. Submittals which are received from sources other than
through the Contractor's office will be returned "without action."
E. Transmittal Identification
1. Number transmittals in sequence for each Division of the Specifications. The
number after the dash indicates the Section of the Specifications, and the
number before the dash is the sequence number of the transmittal (1-1 5140
would be the first transmittal applicable to Section 15140 of the Specifications,
2-15140 would be the second transmittal for Section 15140, etc.)
2. Identify resubmittals with a letter of the alphabet following the original number,
using A for the first resubmittal, B for the second resubmittal, etc. A resubmittal
affecting transmittal 1-1 5140 would than be numbered 1A-15140. The number
1-1 5140 would then be entered in the space 'Previous Transmittal Number,"
which is left blank except on resubmittals.

PART 3 -INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALLATION OF FIBER OPTICAL CABLE
A. The fiber optic cable shall not be spliced. Cable runs shall be continuous from
beginning to end.
B. Placement in Ducts and Trays: A pulling lubricant which is compatible with the low
density sheath can be used to minimize friction of the optical cable with the conduit
walls. However, the use of the lubricant is not always necessary and may complicate
cable handling. If mechanical and/or electrical wrenching devices are used to pull the
cable the cable tension shall be monitored with a commercial dynamometer or load-
cell to ensure that the fiber manufacturer's pulling specifications are not exceeded.
Use pulling grips and swivel designed for pulling.
C. Precautions shall be taken during the installation to ensure the cable is not kinked or
crushed. Replacement of the cable will be at the contractor's expense if the cable
does not pass the acceptance test. Minimum cable pulling radius shall be no less
than the manufacturer's specifications. Pulling wheels shall be used when pulling
around sharp corners in conduit Lbs, junction boxes and/or cable. Pull cable with
kellum type pulling grips and swivel designed for installing fiber. Strip jacket of fiber
cable, tie off Kevlar to center eyelet, tape grip to jacket, tie swivel to grip and tie pull
rope to swivel.
D. The cable shall be racked or strapped to rack hangers and other devices to provide
support. Ten feet (10' ft.) slack shall be left in each junction box, entry and exit of
conduit, and cable trays so the cable is not binding on the entry and exit of these
devices: cable shall be loose and limp. Bundle cable and cable tie every two feet (2'
ft.) of unsupported length.
E. Provide 5 meters of jacketed cable at all termination locations to be coiled (not to
exceed minimum installed bend radius) and mounted to the backboard.

spicing of factory assembled SC pigtails, provide 6' of fiber coiled per strand
at each termination location.
2. Neatly tie all cables to bundles as they enter the distribution frame or cabinets
and into the Fiber Termination storage cabinet. Follow all manufacturers'
installation instructions. Attach a #6 ground wire to the building ground from
the WIC.
F. Prepare individual cables for field installed and fusion spliced pigtails connectors as
per connector manufacturer's instructions. Install SC connectors as per
manufacturer's recommended procedures. Connector end face shall be polished
perpendicular and smooth to achieve a minimum loss of 0.2 db per mated pair and a
