this Contract undertaken to be done or performed, or for any injury or damage
caused by the negligence or alleged negligence of the Contractor or its
subcontractors or employees or agents, the Contractor shall indemnify, defend,
and save harmless the Owner, and its officers, agents, or funding agencies, of and

other contractors, or between the Contractor and the workers of the Owner, in
regard to their work, shall be adjusted and determined by the Engineering
Director. If the work of the Contractor is delayed because of any acts or
omissions of any other contractor or contractors, the Contractor shall have no
claim against the Owner on that account other than for an extension of time.
When two or more contracts are being executed at one time in such manner that
work on one contract may interfere with that on another, the Engineering
Director shall decide which contractor shall cease work and which shall
continue, or whether the work on both contracts shall progress at the same time,
and in what manner. When the territory of one contract is the necessary or
convenient means of access for the transportation or movement of workers,
materials, or appliances required for the execution of another contract, such
privileges of access or any other responsible privilege may be granted by the
Engineering Director to the Contractor so desiring, to the extent, which may be
reasonably necessary.

The right of the Contractor to proceed shall not be terminated, nor will the
Contractor be charged with liquidated damages, because of any delays in the
completion of the work due to causes beyond the control, and through no fault
or negligence, of the Contractor or its subcontractors or agents. Should the
Contractor be delayed in the final completion of the work by any act or delay of
the Owner, or of any employee of either, or by strikes, lockouts, fires, or unusual
delays by common carriers, or by any other cause which the Owner shall decide
would justify the delay, then the Contractor may apply for, in writing, an
extension of time sufficient to compensate for such delay in the final completion

Contractor shall give the Owner prompt notice in writing of the cause and
circumstances of the delay in each request for an extension of time.

Contractor's failure to furnish said list or to include all such subcontractors
GC Page 11 of 19
AED - On Call - Vegetation Maintenance for Roadway and
Street Shoulders, Right-of-Ways, Easements, and Detention Ponds
and vendors shall not relieve Contractor or its surety of any obligation on
Owners part to verify accuracy. Owner may require, at its option, lien
waivers on forms supplied by Owner.
E. The acceptance by the Contractor of final payment shall be and shall operate
as a release to the Owner of all claims and all liability to the Contractor other
than written claims in stated amounts as may be specifically excepted by the
Contractor for all things done or furnished in connection with this Contract
and for every act and neglect of the Owner and others relating to or arising
out of this Contract. Any payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not

has charge thereof, shall be fully authorized to act for the Contractor, and to

All property so damaged shall be repaired or replaced to a condition equal to its
condition immediately prior to the time of damage, and to the satisfaction of the
Owner.
The Contractor shall give reasonable notice to the owner or owners of public or
private property and utilities when such property is liable to injury or damage
through the performance of the work, and shall make all necessary
arrangements with such owner or owners relative to the removal and
replacement or protection of such property or utilities.
All permits and licenses required in the prosecution of any and all parts of the

GC Page 13 of 19
AED - On Call - Vegetation Maintenance for Roadway and
Street Shoulders, Right-of-Ways, Easements, and Detention Ponds
structures and facilities being on the line of the work, specifically but not limited
to damages due to delay in utility relocation.
GC-25 RIGHT-OF-WAYAND EASEMENT
The Contractor shall confine its construction operations to the right-of-way and
shall carefully note where buildings, structures, or other obstructions will limit
working space. Equipment or materials shall not be stored without the express
written approval of the owner of such property.
In the event that easements are not available or if they have not been secured, or
if entry to property is denied by court order, injunction, litigation, or for any
other reason the Contractor shall cease operations in such area and confine
work to other areas approved by the Owner. In the event of any delay arising
from delays in securing easements, the Contractor shall have no claims against
the Owner for damages arising from such delay, and an extension of time may be

or adjacent thereto, Contractor, without special instruction or authorization
from the Owner, is obligated to act, at its discretion, to prevent threatened
damage, injury or loss.
Contractor shall give prompt written notice of any significant changes in the
Work or deviations from the Contract Documents caused thereby.
GC-27 SUBLETTING OF CONTRACT
The Contractor shall not award subcontracts that total more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Contract Work. Should any subcontractor fail to perform in
a satisfactory manner, the Contractor shall immediately terminate the work
undertaken by such subcontractor. The Contractor shall be as fully responsible
to the Owner for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors, and of persons
either directly or indirectly employed by them, as Contractor is for the acts and
omissions of persons directly employed by it. Approval by the Owner of any
subcontractor shall not constitute a waiver of any right of the Owner to reject
defective work, material or equipment not in compliance with the requirements
of the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not make any substitution of
any subcontractor accepted by the Owner unless the Owner agrees in writing.
The Contractor shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all
subcontracts relative to the work to bind subcontractors to the Contractor by the
terms of the Contract Documents insofar as applicable to the work of the
GC Page 14 of 19
AED - On Call - Vegetation Maintenance for Roadway and
Street Shoulders, Right-of-Ways, Easements, and Detention Ponds
subcontractor and to give the Contractor the same power to terminate any
subcontract as the Owner has to terminate the Contractor under any provision of
the Contract Documents.
Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual
relationship between any subcontractor and the Owner, nor shall anything
contained in the Contract Documents create any obligation on the part of the
Owner to pay or to see to the payment of any sums due any subcontractor.
Prior to the Owner's approval of the Contract bid, the successful bidder shall
submit to the Owner for acceptance a list of names of all subcontractors
proposed for portions of the work and shall designate what work each is to
perform.
If the Owner, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any
subcontractor on such list, the Contractor shall substitute a subcontractor
acceptable to the Owner or shall be allowed to withdraw its bid, and the Owner
shall either re-bid the project or accept the next best responsible bidder. The
failure of the Owner to make objection to a subcontractor shall not constitute a
recommendation or appointment of such subcontractor, nor shall it constitute a
waiver of any right of the Owner to reject defective work, material or equipment
not in conformance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
The Contractor shall not make any substitutions for any subcontractor unless
the Engineering Director or his/her designee determines that there is a good
cause for doing so. Any substitution shall be made only after allowing the Owner
to make a reasonable rejection in accordance with the foregoing paragraph. The
Owner's disapproval of any Contractor or subcontractor shall not, under any
circumstances, be the basis for an increase in the Contract Price or a claim for
delay damages.
The Contractor shall not assign any right, obligation or work under this Contract
or any payment here under, by power of attorney or otherwise, without the
prior written consent of Owner.
GC-28 RIGHT OF OWNER TO TERMINATE CONTRACT
If the Work to be done under this Contract shall be abandoned by the Contractor;
or if the Contractor should be adjudged as bankrupt, or if a general assignment
of assets be made for the benefit of Contractor's creditors, or if a receiver should
be appointed for the Contractor or any of its property; or if at any time the
Owner shall certify in writing to the Contractor that the performance of the
Work under this Contract is being unnecessarily delayed, or that the Contractor
is violating any of the conditions or covenants of this Contract or the
Specifications therefore, or that Contractor is executing the same in bad faith or
otherwise not in accordance with the terms of said Contract; or if the Work be
GC Page 15 of 19
AED - On Call - Vegetation Maintenance for Roadway and
Street Shoulders, Right-of-Ways, Easements, and Detention Ponds
not substantially completed within the frequency as requested or within the
time to which such completion was extended; then the Owner may serve written
notice upon the Contractor of said breach of this Contract and, unless within five
(5) calendar days after the serving of such notice upon the Contractor a
satisfactory arrangement be made for the continuance thereof through
Contractor, the Owner may take over the Work and prosecute same to
completion, by contract or otherwise for the amount and at the expense of the
Contractor, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Owner for any and all excess
cost sustained by the Owner by reason of such prosecution and completion.
Whether or not a satisfactory arrangement has been proposed by Contractor
shall reasonably be determined by the Owner and made at the sole and
reasonable discretion of the Owner.
In the event of a failure of the Contractor and the Contractor's Surety to provide
a satisfactory arrangement for the continuance of the Work within five (5)
calendar days following notice of breach by the City in accordance with the
preceding paragraph, the City in its sole discretion may proceed to terminate
this Contract without waiver of any other remedy of City, and proceed to
complete all Work provided for in the remainder of the term of the Contract, in
which case the Contractor's Surety shall not be obligated to take over or
complete the Work.
GC-29 LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
All loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work to be done, or from the
action of the elements, or from floods or overflows, or from ground water, or
from unusual obstructions or difficulties, or any other natural or existing
circumstances either known or unforeseen, which may be encountered in the
prosecution of the said work shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at
its own cost and expense.
GC-30 LAWS AND ORDINANCES
The Contractor shall keep fully informed of all existing and current regulations

indemnify the Owner and the Owner's officers and agents against any claims or
liability arising from or based on any violation of the same.

trained and experienced in their respective trades and who do satisfactory work.
In all cases, local labor shall be given preference when available.
Whenever the Engineering Director or his/her designee shall notify the
Contractor that any worker on the project is, in Engineering Department's
opinion, incompetent, unfaithful, or disorderly, or who uses threatening or
abusive language to any person representing the Owner when on the project or a
member of the general public, such worker shall be immediately discharged
from the project and shall not be re-employed thereon except with the consent
of the Engineering Director.
Due to safety concerns associated with this contract all workers employed
by the Contractor, including subcontractors, shall at all times wear shirts,
pants, appropriate foot wear and safety vest when they are working within
the City right of way. Any worker not wearing the above items shall be
immediately removed from the job site by the Contractor and shall not
return until wearing the appropriate safety clothing.
GC-32 BEGINNING, PROGRESS AND TIME OF COMPLETION OF WORK

setting forth in detail the sequences it proposes to follow, and giving the dates on
which it expects to start and to complete separate portions of the work.
GC-33 HINDRANCES AND DELAYS
In executing the Contract Agreement, the Contractor expressly covenants and
agrees that, in undertaking to complete the work within the time therein fixed, it
has taken into consideration and made allowances for all hindrances and delays
incident to such work, whether growing out of delays in securing materials or
workmen or otherwise. No charge shall be made by the Contractor for
hindrances or delays from any cause during the progress of the work, or any
portion thereof, included in this Contract.
GC-34 MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC
Local traffic on all streets shall be carried through construction whenever
possible. Detours of traffic will be permitted when necessary and with the prior
permission of the Traffic Engineer. Streets may be closed for short periods of

streets. Proper notification to Augusta-Richmond County Sheriff's and Fire
Departments shall be given by the Contractor before closing any public
thoroughfare.
GC-35 BARRICADES AND LIGHTS
All streets, roads, highway, and other public thoroughfares which are closed to
traffic, under the authority of a proper permit, shall be protected by means of

barricades, being located at the nearest intersecting public highway or street on
each side of the blocked section of such public thoroughfare.

signs, and lights to the extent that adequate protection is provided to all persons
against accident by reason of such open construction. Obstructions such as
material piles and equipment shall be provided with similar warning lights and
signs. All barricades and obstructions shall be illuminated by means of amber
lights at night and all lights used for this purpose shall be kept burning from

the work the foilowing time restrictions shall appiy unless modified by the specia!
conditions:
MULTI-E.ANE NIGHWAYS: From the time that the exis�ing guardraii ar temporary
pasitive barrier protection is removed the Contractar has fourteen (14} calendar days to
instal! the new guardrail and anchars. During the interim, the location without guardrait
shalE be protected with drums spaced at a maximum spacing of twenty (20� feet. The
maximum tength of rail that can be removed at any time without being replaced with
positive barrier protection is a total of 2004 linear feet of existing rait or the total length
of one run of existing rail, whichever is less.
ALL �THER HIGHWAYS: From the time that the existing guardrail is removed or from
the tirrte that temporary positive barrier protection is removed the Contractor has thirty
(30) calendar days to instail the new guardrail and anchors. During the interim, the
location without guardraif shall be protect�d with drums spaced at a maximum spacing
of twenty (20� feet. The maximum len�th of raii that can be removed at any time
without being replaced with positive barrier protection is a total of 10� linear feet of
existing rail orthe totai length of one run of eacisting rail, whichever is Iess.
Based on existing field conditions, the Engineer may review the work and require that
the guardrail be installed earlier than the maximum time allowed abave by giving
written notification to the Contractor via the TC-1 traffic controf report.
ALL HIGHWAYS: The contractor shall install new guardrail such that traffic �acposure to
fixed objects is minimized. Within the same work day, temporary attenuators, as de�ned

Failure to compty with the above time and quant�ty restrictions shafl be considered as
non-compiiance under Subsection i50.Q8.
11. STOP SIGN REGULATED INTERSECTIONS: For intersections that utilize stop
sign(s) to controi the flow of traffic and to restrict the movement of vehicles, the stop
sign(s) shali be maintained for the duration of the work or until such time that the stop
condition is eliminated or untif an interim or permanent traffic signal can be instafled to
provide proper traffic control. The traffic signal shal) be installed and properly
functianing before the removal of the existing stop sign{s) is permitted. If the existing
inkersection is enhanced traffic control features such as stop bars, double indicated stop
signs, oversized signs, advanced warning stop ahead signs, rumble strips on the
appraaches or flashing beacons iocated overhead or on the shoulders then tt�ese
features shall be maintained for the duration of the project or until the permanent traffic
controf plan has been impfemented.
Whenever the staging of the work requires that the traveled-way be relocated or
rea(igned the Cantractor shall reinstafl aA enhanced traffic contral features noted above
on the newly constructed sections of the work. The cost of rel+ocating the stop bars,
stop signs, advanced warning signs, the r�umble strips and the flashing beacons shall be
included in the price bid for lump-Sum-Traffic Control unless individual pay items are
included in the contract for rumble strips and/or flashing beacons. When pay items are
included in the contract for rumble str€ps or flashing beacons then these items will be
paid per each.
When staging requires the relocation or reaiignment of an existing stop condition it may
be necessary to consider the addition of enhanced traffic rnntrol features even though
none existed at the original location. Horizonta! and verticai aiignment changes at a new
location may have decreased or restricted sight distance or the stop condition may occur
sooner than in the previous alignment. If these conditions occur then the Engineer
and/or the WTCS should cansider additionaf ineasures to enhance the matorist's
awareness of the changes even though the staging plans may not a�ldress enhanced
features. Stop signs shauld be a minimum of 36 inches for interim situations. The use
of 48 inch stop signs may be warranted under project specfic conditions. �lags may be
used on inCerim/permanent stop signs that are mounted at seven (7� feet in height for
a short duration in order to direct addifiional attention to a new or relocated stop sign(s)
Flags shouid not be used for durations exceeding two weeks unless unusual ar site
specify conditions warrant a longer periad of time. The use of Type "A" flashing red
light(s) attached to the stop sign(s) may be appropriate during the same period that the
flags are in use to increase attention.
The use of rumbfe strips and/or portable changeable message signs may be considered.
The use of new rumble strips, where none previously existed, shali have the prior
approval of Oistrict Tra�c Operations 6efore being incCuded as part of the temporary
traffic cnntrol plan. The message(s} displayed on any PCMS shall have the prior
approval of the Engineer and the message(s} shall be included as part af the TTC plan
for the interim staging.
The placement of any additional interim ground-mounted signs and posts ar stop bars
shall be considered as incidental to the price bid for Lump Sum-Tra�c C�ntroi. The
installation of rumbEe strips, flashing beacons or the use of Portabie Changeable
tx
Message Signs (PCMS) shali 6e considered as E�ctra Work unless pay items are included
in the contract.

the signage may be removed.
d) Sign HWZ-3 shall be posted at the end of the Highway Work Zone
indicating the end of the zone and indicating that increased penafties for
speeding violations are no (onger in effect.
13
e) When a designated Highway Work Zone is na longer necessary ail signs
shail be removed immediately.
2, REDUCING THE SPEEO I..IMIT IN A HIGHWAY WORK ZONE:
Highway Work Zone signs shal! be pasted as required in Condition 1 above.
For (imited access ('rnterstate) highways and controfied access multi-lane
divided highways the posted speed limit shal( be reduced as required below.
Speed Limit signage (R2-1) for the reduced speed (imit shaii be erected at the
beginning of the work zone. Additional signs shal! be placed to ensure that the
maximum spacing of the reduced speed timit signs shall be no greater than one
(1) mile apart. Existing speed limit signs shall be covered or removed. On
multi-lane divided highways the speed limit signs shal( be double indicateed
when the reduced speed is in use.
When any one or more of the following conditions exist and the existing speed
limit is 65 mph or 70 mph, the speett limit shall be reduced by 10 mph. If the
existing speed limit is 50 mph, the speed limit should be reduced by 5 mph. If
the existing speed fimit is 55 mph or less, the Contractor can only reduce the
speed iimit with the prior approval of the Engineer. The reduction in the s�ed
limit shal! be no greater than i0 mph;
a} Lane c{osure(s) of any type and any duration,
b) The difference in elevation exceeds two inches adjacent to a travel lane as
shown in S�bsection 150.06,. �etait 150-8,. Detail 250-C.
c) Any areas where equipment or workers are wiChin ten feet of a travel lane.
d) Temporary portable concrete k��rriers located fess tf�an two (2� feet from
the traveled way.
e) As directed by the Engineer far conditions distinctive to this project.
When the above conditions are not present the speed limit shaEt be immediately
retumed to the existing posted speed limit. A speed reduction shall not be put
in place for the entire length of the projeet unless condi�ons warranting the
speed reduction are present for the entire project length. All existing speed
limit signs within the temporary speed reduction zone sha(I be covered or
removed while the temporary reduction in the speed limit is in effect, Aff signs
sha(I be erected to comply with the minimum requirements of the MUTCD.
As a minimum the fiollowing records shall be kept by the WTCS:
a) Identify the need for the reduction.
b) Record the time of the instal(ation and removal of the temparary reduction.
c) Fully describe the location and limits af the reduced speed zone.
d) Document any accident that occurs during the time of the reduction.
A copy of the weekly records for reduced speed zones shal! be submitted ta the
Engineer.
14
Reduced speed zones shall, as a minimum, be signed as per Detail 150-HWZ-1.
Interim signs shali meet the requirements of Subsection 150A3 D. Additional
signs may be necessary to adjust for actuai freld conditions.
When a pilot vehicle is used on a fi�+ro-lane two-way raadway the speed limit
shouid not be reduced. For special conditions specific to the work, nn two-lane
two-way roadways or muiti-lane highways, the contractor may reduce the
posted speed limit with the pr'ror approvai of the Engineer.

Department wil) not consider or participate in any cost increase that may result fr�m
impiernenting the proposed alternate method.
PAY FACTOR REDUCTION FOR ASPHALTIC CONCREfE FINAL SURFAC:ES: When the
correction of an errar in the layout of the final pavement markings requires the finai
surface to be groundecf, blemished, scarred, or polished fihe pay factor shal! be
reduced to 0.95 for the entire surface area of the finaf topping that has a blemish,
polished or a scarred surface. The reduced pay factor shal! not be confined to only
the width and length of the stripe or the dimensions of the blemished areas, the
whale roadway surtace shall have the reduced pay fackor applied. The area of the
37
reduced pay factor shall be determined by the total iength and the total widih of the
roadway affected. If the affected area is not correcCed, the reduction in pay shail be
deducted from the final payment for the topping layer of asphaitic concrete. The
Engineer sha(i make the fina( determination whether correction or a reduced pay
fador is acceptabie.
The eradication of pavement markings on intermediate and fina( concrete surfaces
shaii be accornpiished by a method that does not grind, polish, or biemish the
surface of the concrete. The methfld used for the removal of the interim markings
shall not spall chip the joints in the concrete and shal! not damage the sealant in the
joints. Any joint or sealant repairs sha(I be included in the bid price for Trafftc
Cantrol-tump Sum. The proposed method of removai shall have the pri�r approvai
of the Engineer.
Failure ta promptiy remove conflicting or non-applicab{e pavement markings shaif be
considered as non-perfarmance under Sub��ctiQn 150.08.
PREPARATION AND PLANNING FOR TRAFFIC SHIFt"S: When shifting of traffic
necessitates removaf of centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall be ;
removed prior to, during, or immediate{y af�er any change so as to present the least
interference with traffic. Interim traffic marking tape sttall be used as a temporary
substittrte for the traffic markings being remaved.
Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, rnarking removal equipment shall be
present on the project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures
occur, the equipment shalE be repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if
necessary), so thak the remova! can be �complished`without delay.
Except for the finaE surface, markings on asphattic concrete may be obliterated by an
overlay course, when approved by the Engineer. When an aspha�ic concrete overlay
is placed for the sole p!�rpose of elirninating conflicting markings and the in place
asphaltic concrete secti�r�4 will allow, said overlay wilf be eligible For payment only i�
designated in the Plans. Overlays to obliterate lines will be paid for only once and
further tra�c shifts in the same area shatl be aocomplished with removable
markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover lines will ,
be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an overlay for the sole
purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no longer
applicabfe shali be removed in accordance with 5ubsec�ion fL56.3.05.
D. RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS

is presumed that the pavement marking edgeline (yeAow or white solid sCripe)` is
iocated at the very edge of the travel lane surface. A buffer space (temporary paved
shoulder} that utilizes a portion of the travel fane should be six (6� feet in width
desirable but shaN not be less than four (4'� feet in width. Any remaining travel
lane(s) shaif not be less than ten (10� feet in width. Mod�catians to drum spacing
shown in the details above wiEl not be allowed.
If the propased shifting of the traffic to obtain a buffer space and maintain a
minimurrt travel lane(s} of ten (10') feet requires the use of any existing paved
shoulders then the cost of maintenance and repair of the e�cisting paved shouider(s)
shal! be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for the
costs of mainter�ance and repairs even if the existing paved shoulder(s) is to be
removed in a later stage of the work, Existing shoulders that have rumbfe strips
shall have the rumble strips removed before the shoulder can be utilized as part of
the trave( lane. The cost of the removal vf the rumble strips shall be done at no cost
to the Department even if the shoulder is to be removed in a later stage of the work.
53
Any madifications to the staging and time restrictions that are approved as part of
the TTC pfan shafl be agreed to in writing. Failure to meet these modificafiions shalP
be considered as non-performance of the Work under Subsection 1S�.08.
