Re: Groundwater Treatment Plant #3 20" Water Main, AUD #10175
Phyllis,
Enclosed are the notes that constitute Addendum #1 for the 20" Water Main. In addition, attached are the
revised bid schedule, the measurement and payment section, the revised general notes, and revised
details for the standard road-cut and asbestos-cement water main crossing.
1. The plans should read that all bends and changes in direction are by restrained joint, DIP. The current
plans do not show the length of restrained pipe, however the final plans given to the winning contractor
will show the length of restrained joint. The estimated footage of restrained joint pipe is included on the
bid schedule. Tees and hydrants will require concrete thrust-blocking according to the existing plans.
2. The PRV vault at Willis Foreman and the railroad tracks will be resized to a S'xSx'S' precast vault,
bedded in 12" of #57 stone, with the valving outside of the vault. Any joints on the vault should have
water stops, and the vault will be set 6" above grade. In addition, the vault should have a watertight
hatch, and a sump box, and link seals where the pipe goes through the vault walls.
3. AUD wants the project to start at the new tank at Brown Rd, and continue westward towards Windsor
Spring Rd.
4. This project will require relocating approximately 75 services along Brown Rd and McElMurray Rd
from the existing lines on the north side to the new 20" water main. The project will be run from the new
tank to Liberty Church Rd, and then pressure-tested and chlorinated in order to move the services and
abandon the old lines. Then the line will be run from Liberty Church to McElMurray Rd, and will also
require pressure-testing and chlorination prior to moving the existing services and abandoning the old
lines.
5. The tie-ins at Markwalter and Sheffield Ct will be done by cutting in a tee and valves instead of wet-
tapping.
6. The 20x16 reducer at McElMurray and Peach Orchard should be moved toward Peach Orchard so
that the bore under McElMurray will tie into a 20" line instead of a 16" line.
7. The railroad must be notified at least two weeks prior to the bore at Willis Foreman Rd and Norfolk
Southern.

8. Any headwalls or mailboxes damaged or removed during the project are the responsibility of the
contractor.
9. Traffic must be maintained at the Dollar General store being built on Brown Rd (old Jefferson Electric
property).
10. The contractor must maintain access and security (the fence) at the Government Surplus Storage
business on Peach Orchard Rd.
11. There is a large telephone cable underground along Brown Rd, which must be protected. The water
main will cross in close proximity at the bottom of Brown Rd.
12. The brick entryway at parcel #213,2.02: needs to be protected.
13. At Peach Orchard and Willis Foreman Rd, the water line will be installed in the top of the
embankment. Erosion control mats are in the bid schedule to protect this property, however the
contractor will have to maintain erosion control measures at this location.
14. Air Release Valves will be converted to hydrants in the field.
15. PRVs shall be Ross Model40WR.
16. Final payment will not be made until the contractor submits an approved set of redline drawings.
17. All bypass valves shall be plug valves.
18. The creek crossing at Bowlmaker branch will be open-cut and encased in concrete. The ditch bank
leading to the creek will be stabilized using rip-rap. This line item has been added to the plans.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 312-4149, or wbvne(cUauqustaqa.qov

Substitutes or "Or-Equal" Items:
6,7,1. Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by
using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the naming of the item is intended to
establish the type, function and quality required, Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no
substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by PROFESSIONAL if
sufficient information is submitted by CONTRACTOR to allow PROFESSIONAL to determine that the material
or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named, The procedure for review by PROFESSIONAL
will include the following as supplemented in the General Requirements, Requests for review of substitute
items of material and equipment will not be accepted by PROFESSIONAL from anyone other than
CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment,
CONTRACTOR shall make written application to PROFESSIONAL for acceptance thereof, certifying that the
proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the general
design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as that specified,
The application will state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice
CONTRACTOR's achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute
for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other
direct contract with OWNER for work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and
whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in con nection with the Work is subject to payment of any
license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the
application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be indicated. The application will
also contain an itemized estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such
substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of
which shall be considered by PROFESSIONAL. In evaluating the proposed substitute, PROFESSIONAL may
require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's expense, additional data about the proposed
substitute.
6.7,2. If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in
or required by the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method,
sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to PROFESSIONAL, if CONTRACTOR submits
sufficient information to allow PROFESSIONAL to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that
indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedure for review by PROFESSIONAL will be similar
to that provided in paragraph 6.7,1 as applied by PROFESSIONAL and as may be supplemented in the Gen-
eral Requirements.
6,7,3, PROFESSIONAL will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed
substitute. PROFESSIONAL will be the sole judge of acceptability and no substitute will be ordered, installed
or utilized without PROFESSIONAL's prior written acceptance which will be evidenced by either a Change
Order or an approved Shop Drawing, OWNER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's
expense, a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. PROFESSIONAL will

the charges of PROFESSIONAL and PROFESSIONAL's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute,

other work performed by aided OWNERs or let other direct contracts therefor which shall contain General
Conditions similar to these, If the fact that such other work is to be performed was not noted in the Contract
Documents, written notice thereof will be given to CONTRACTOR prior to starting any such other work, and, if
CONTRACTOR believes that such performance will involve additional expense to CONTRACTOR or requires
additional time and the parties are unable to agree as to the extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim
therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12,
7.1,2. CONTRACTOR shall afford each utility OWNER and other contractor who is a party to such a
direct contract for OWNER, if OWNER is performing the additional work with OWNER's employees, proper

CONTRACTOR shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work that may be required to make its several
parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. CONTRACTOR shall not endanger any work
of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and will only cut or alter their work with the
written consent of PROFESSIONAL and the others whose work will be affected. The duties and

any such other contractor or utility OWNER (or OWNER), CONTRACTOR shall inspect and promptly report to
PROFESSIONAL in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or

nonapparent defects and deficiencies in the other work,
Coordination:

an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this paragraph 11,2.

acknowledge 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
CONTRACTOR for the utilization of such items is based upon the application of unit prices to the actual
quantities of items involved as measured in the field and required to complete the Work as originally defined in
the Contract Documents.
11.3.2. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion, or revision to the Work, as
defined in these Contract Documents, is required and affects the quantities required for items designed in the
Bid Proposal as unit price items, CONTRACTOR and OWNER agree that the compensation payable to
CONTRACTOR for such unit price items shall be adjusted accordingly by a Change Order based upon 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
CONTRACTOR 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, CONTRACTOR shall perform the Work as directed in the

of any such increase,

the Contract Time shall be made in writing and delivered to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER within seven (7)
calendar days of the occurrence first happening and resulting in the claim. Written supporting data will be
submitted to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER within fifteen (15) calendar days after such occurrence unless the

12.2. If CONTRACTOR is delayed at any time in the performance, progress, commencement, or
completion of the Work by any act or neglect of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL, or by an employee of either, or
by any separate CONTRACTOR employed by OWNER, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor
disputes, fire, unavoidable casualties, utility conflicts which could not have been identified or foreseen 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 reasonable 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 those for which
OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its duty
to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER. CONTRACTOR's
sole and exclusive remedy against OWNER for interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay of
any aspect of the Work shall be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time in accordance with the

approvals by persons other than CONTRACTOR shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligations to perform the
Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

13.8, If any Work required to be inspected, tested or approved is covered prior thereto without the
prior written approval of PROFESSIONAL, or if any Work is covered contrary to the request of
PROFESSIONAL, the Work shall, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for observation, inspection,
testing or approval and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense.
13.9, If PROFESSIONAL considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by
PROFESSIONAL or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at PROFESSIONAL's request, shall

suitable materials or equipment or make prompt payments to Subcontractors for labor, materials, or
equipment or if CONTRACTOR violates any provisions of these Contract Documents, OWNER may order
CONTRACTOR to stop the Work until the cause for such order has been 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 increase in the
Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop work order under this paragraph,
Correction or Removal of Defective Work:
13,11, When directed by PROFESSIONAL, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER
and as specified by PROFESSIONAL, either correct the defective Work whether fabricated, installed, or
completed, or remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective Work, If CONTRACTOR does not

specified in a written notice from PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may have the deficiency corrected. All direct and
indirect costs of such correction shall be paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from payment to

of others destroyed or damaged by the correction, removal, or replacement of the defective Work.

13.13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER
(and, prior to PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, PROFESSIONAL) prefers to accept it,
OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to
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 engineers,
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

therefor as provided in Article 11. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate

a recovery plan and take specific corrective actions including, but not limited to, employing additional workmen
and/or equipment, and working extended hours and additional days, all at no cost to OWNER in order to put
the Work back on schedule. If CONTRACTOR fails to correct the deficiency or take appropriate corrective
action, OWNER may terminate the contract or CONTRACTOR's right to proceed with that portion of Work and
have the Work done by others. The cost of completion under such procedure shall be charged against
CONTRACTOR. A Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents, including an appropriate reduction in the Contract Price. If the payments due CONTRACTOR are

ARTICLE 14-PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
Schedule of Values:
14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in 2,9 will serve as the basis for progress
payments and will be incorporated into a form of application for Payment acceptable to Project Manager,
Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed,
Application for Progress Payment:
14.2. At least twenty (20) calendar days before the date established for each progress payment (but
not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to PROFESSIONAL for review an application
for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the work completed as of the date of the
application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If
payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and
suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be
accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other 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 is subject to a ten percent (10%) retainage that will be held until the
final payment or acceptance by OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be
as stipulated in the Agreement.
CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title:
14,3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment
covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no
later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.
Review of Applications for Progress Payment:
14.4, PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of each Application for
Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the application to OWNER, or
return the application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing PROFESSIONAL's reasons for refusing to
recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary 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.
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 PROF- ,
ESSIONAL'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 offinal 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. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order.
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 off-set
against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a
copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action,
Substantial Completion:
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 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 writing and so inform PROFESSIONAL prior to PROFESSIONAL's issuing
the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, PROFESSIONAL's aforesaid recommendation will be
binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of
Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct
items on the tentative list.
Partial Utilization:
14.10. Use by OWNER at OWNER's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which (i)
has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) OWNER, PROFESSIONAL, and
CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by
OWNER 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:
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 of the Work to be substantially
complete, the provisions 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.
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 su bstantially 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
PROFESSIONAL will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final
payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writing 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 operation and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work,
OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on said list and to
complete other related Work.
14.10,3. No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work will be accomplished prior to
compliance with the requirements of paragraph 5,15 in respect of property insurance.
14.10.4, OWNER, may at its discretion, reduce the amount of retainage subject to Beneficial
Occupancy.
Final Inspection:
14.11. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed upon portion
thereof is complete, PROFESSIONAL will make a final inspection with OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will
notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all 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 defi-
ciencies.
Final Application for Payment:
14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of
PROFESSIONAL and OWNER and delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance
and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required
by 5,2, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents and other 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 for in the
Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required, (ii) consent ofthe surety,
if any, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of
all liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu of such releases or waivers of liens and as
approved by OWNER, CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or release in full and an affidavit of
CONTRACTOR that (i) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which
a lien could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with
the Work for which OWNER or OWNER's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or
otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full,
CONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against
any lien.
14,12,1. No application for final payment will be accepted by OWNER until approved as-built
documents by CONTRACTOR are accepted and approved by PROFESSIONAL.
14.12.2, Notwithstanding any other provision of these contract documents to the contrary, OWNER
and PROFESSIONAL are under no duty or obligation whatsoever to any vendor, materials provider,
Subcontractor, laborer or other party to ensure that payments due and owing by CONTRACTOR to any of

Final Payment and Acceptance:
14.13, If, on the basis of PROFESSIONAL's observation of the Work during construction and final
inspection and PROFESSIONAL's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying
documentation as required by the Contract Documents, PROFESSIONAL is satisfied that the Work has been
completed and CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled,
PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) working days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in
writing PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER for payment.
At the same time PROFESSIONAL will also give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work
is acceptable subject to the provisions of 14,6, Otherwise, PROFESSIONAL will return the application to
CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case

OWNER of the application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and substance and with
PROFESSIONAL's recommendation and notice of acceptability, the amount recommended by
PROFESSIONAL will become due and will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR.
14.14. If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and

Payment and recommendation of PROFESSIONAL and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of
the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held
by OWNER for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Contract and
if bonds have been furnished as required in Article 5, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the
balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by CONTRACTOR
to PROFESSIONAL with the application for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and
conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims,

CONTRACTOR from the site and take possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances,
construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used by

3.1 LINES AND GRADES
A Grades
1. Pipes shall be laid true to the lines and grades indicated.
2. The grade alignment of the pipe shall be maintained by the use of a
string line parallel with the grade line and vertically above the centerline
of the pipe. This line shall be established on level batter boards at
intervals of not more than 25 feet. Batter boards shall span the trench
and be rigidly anchored to substantial posts driven into the ground on
each side of the trench. Three adjacent batter boards must be set before
laying pipe to provide a check on the grades and line. Elevation and
position of the string line shall be determined from the elevation and
position of offset points or stakes located along the pipe route. Pipe shall
not be laid using side lines for line or grade.
3. As an alternative means of establishing alignment and grade, a "Laser-
Beam" instrument may be utilized with a competent operator.
B Location of Pipe Lines:
1. The location and approximate depths of the proposed pipe lines are
shown on the Drawings.
2. The Engineer reserves the right to make changes in lines, grades, and
depths of pipe lines and manholes when such changes are necessary.

volume.
F Correct areas over excavated areas with backfill and compact replacement as
specified for authorized excavation.
G Stockpile excavated material in area designated on site and remove excess
material not being used, from site.
TRENCHING
A Excavations:
1. Excavation shall be dug so that the pipe can be laid and jointed properly.
The trench shall be made so that the pipe can be laid to the alignment
and depth as shown on the Drawings, and it shall be excavated only so
far in advance of pipe laying as permitted by the Engineer. The
excavation shall not be more than 16 inches wider at the bottom than the
outside diameter of the pipe or structure. If there is no interference with
construction, or adjacent property, and if soil permits, the Contractor at
his own expense shall be permitted to slope the side walls of the
excavation starting at a point 2 feet above the top of pipe.
2. The trench shall be excavated to the depth required so as to provide a
uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe on bedding
material at every point between joints, except where pipe slings or other
lifting tackle are withdrawn.
3. Excavation Below Grade:
a) Where excavation indicates that the subsurface materials at the
bottom of the trench are in a loose or soft state, the Contractor
shall be advised to excavate to a depth where suitable material is
encountered, as directed by the Engineer.

b) Where the bottom of the trench has been excavated by mistake to
a greater depth than required, the Contractor shall refill this area
using approved material. No additional compensation shall be
given to the Contractor. Refilling with earth to bring the bottom of
the trench to the proper grade will not be permitted.
4. Excavation within 24 inches of existing utilities shall be governed by
specifications of the Owner of the respective utility. The Contractor shall
obtain these specifications and follow the same at no extra cost.
B Trenching in Advance of Pipe Laying: The trench for the pipe lines shall not be
opened for a distance of more than 500 linear feet at anyone time, unless
authorized by the Engineer. Contractor shall not leave any trench open at the
end of a working day, unless special conditions warrant as determined by the
Engineer. If approved by Engineer, any portion of trench left open shall be
covered with a steel plate or barricaded so that traffic or pedestrians cannot
encounter area.
SHEETING AND BRACING
A General
1. Sheeting and bracing of all excavations shall conform to the latest
statutes of the State of Georgia governing safety of workers in the
construction industry. When necessary, in the opinion of the Engineer or
Contractor, adequate sheeting and bracing shall be installed to prevent
ground movement that may cause damage or settlement to adjacent
structures, pipelines and utilities. Any damage due to settlement
because of failure to use sheeting or because of inadequate bracing, or
through negligence or fault of the Contractor in any other manner, shall
be repaired at the Contractor's expense.
2. Sides of trenches in unsuitable, loose or soft material, five feet or more in
depth, shall be shored, sheeted, braced, sloped, or otherwise supported
by means of sufficient strength to protect employees working within them.
B Sheeting Requirements:
1. Where excavations are made with vertical sides which require supporting,
the sheeting and bracing shall be of sufficient strength to sustain the
sides of the excavations and to prevent movement which could in any
way injure the Work, or adjacent structures, or diminish the working
space sufficiently to delay the Work. Special precautions shall be taken
where there is additional pressure due to the presence of other
structures.
2. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to select sheeting and bracing of
sufficient dimensions and strength to adequately support the sides of
trenches and excavations. The Contractor shall submit details of the
sheeting and bracing he proposes to use to the Engineer for review.
3. Timber sheeting shall conform in quality to select structural Douglas Fir
lumber and shall be sound, live timber, free from sap, large checks,
shakes, loose or decayed knots, worm holes, and other imperfections
which may impair its strength or durability.
