If such changes increase or decrease the amount due under the Contract Documents, or in the time required for performance of the Work, an equitable adjustment will be authorized by Change Order. The Engineer, also, may at any time, by issuing a field order, make changes in the details of the Work. These changes by field order will not affect Contract Time or Contract Price. The Contractor shall proceed with the performance of any changes in the Work so ordered by the Engineer, unless the Contractor believes that such field order entitles Contractor to a change in Contract Price or Contract Time or both, in which event Contractor shall give the Engineer immediate, written notice thereof and if required by the Owner, an immediate estimate of the direct cost of Work as outlined in (b) below, after the receipt of the ordered change, and the Contractor shall not execute such changes pending the receipt of an executed Change Order or further written instruction from the Owner. Should the Contractor encounter, or the Owner discover, during the progress of the Work, subsurface or latent conditions at the site materially differing from those shown on the Drawings or indicated in the Specifications, or unknown conditions of an unusual nature differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and • generally recognized as inherent in Work of the character provided for in the Drawings and Specifications, the Owner shall immediately be notified in writing of such conditions before they are disturbed. The Owner will thereupon promptly investigate the conditions. If the Owner finds that conditions do so materially differ, or are of an unusual nature, and upon written request of the Contractor, an equitable adjustment will be authorized by Change Order. 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 intent for each change in the Contract in a written response to the Contractor's request for a change, following agreement by the Owner and Contractor on the change's scope, price and time. • 5/16/2017 G003-1090\TS-00700 00700-15 General Conditions • (b) Changes in Contract Price: The Contract Price may be changed only by a Change Order. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order for increase or decrease in the Contract Price will be determined by one or more of the following methods, in the order of precedence listed below: (1) By estimating the number of unit quantities of each part of the Work which is changed (either increased or decreased) and then multiplying the estimated number of such unit quantities by the price Proposed (which price shall include the Contractor's overhead and profit)for a unit quantity thereof. (2) The Owner will fix the total lump sum value of the change in the Work of the Contractor following the Contractor's submittal, within a reasonable time, of an estimate of the direct cost of the Work. The direct cost estimate will be added to, or deducted from, the Contract Price (which price will include the Contractor's overhead and profit as outlined below). If the Contractor does not submit a cost estimate of the Work in a reasonable time or if the Owner and Contractor do not reach agreement on the cost, the Owner may fix the total lump sum value at a reasonable amount. On any lump sum change which involves a net credit to the Owner, no allowance for overhead and profit will be figured. (3) By ordering the Contractor to proceed with the Work and to keep and • present, in such form as the Owner may direct, a correct account of the cost of the change together with all vouchers therefore. The cost hereunder will only include an allowance for overhead and profit as outlined below. For the Work performed in item (2) or (3) above, payment will be made for the documented actual direct cost of the following: (aa) Labor, including foremen, for those hours they are assigned and participating in the Work covered by the change order (actual direct payroll cost of wages). The Contractor shall furnish, if required by the Owner, certified payrolls to verify wages. All labor related costs will be included in a 30 percent markup of the cost of direct payroll wages. This refers to the Contractor's specific labor wages. (bb) Material delivered and used on the designated Work, including sales tax, if paid for by the Contractor and as verified by original invoices or otherwise verifiable to the Owner's acceptance. (cc) Rental, or ownership cost of equipment, including necessary transportation of equipment, having a purchase value in excess of $300.00. Rental or ownership cost will be allowed for only those • hours during which the equipment is required on the project site. Cost allowances will not exceed the rates defined as follows: the 5/16/2017 G003-109U\TS-00700 00700- 16 General Conditions hourly rate, for equipment not used exclusively in the change to • the scope of work, will be the monthly rate, as printed in the current Rental Blue Book for Construction Equipment published by Dataquest, divided by 176; the rate, for equipment used exclusively for those tasks identified in the change to the scope of work, will be the daily, weekly or monthly rate, used singularly or in combination, which will provide the lowest total cost. The rates will be modified by the Rate Adjustment Table factors to reflect a depreciation allowance indexed to the year a machine was originally manufactured and sold. The rates will be adjusted to account for regional differences in annual use hours, cost of labor, freight, taxes, etc. The amount by which basic rates will be increased or decreased is shown on the adjustment maps included in the "Blue Book". The equipment use period will begin only at the time equipment is unloaded at the site if the changed work, will include each day that the equipment is required at the site of the changed work and will terminate at the end of the day on which the use of such equipment becomes unnecessary, plus reasonable transportation time. The maximum time to be paid per day will not exceed eight hours unless the equipment is in operation for a longer time. The time which will be paid for per day, for equipment not used exclusively in the change to the scope of work, will be tile hours which the equipment was actually in operation on the changed work. • In addition to the actual costs in items (aa) through (cc) above, there will be, for the Contractor actually performing the work, a fixed fee of 16 percent for bond, insurance, overhead and profit added to the cost of Items (aa), (bb) and (cc), above. If all or a portion of the Change Order is performed by a subcontractor, payment will be made for the documented actual direct cost as outlined in (aa), (bb) and (cc), above. A fixed fee of 16 percent for bond, insurance, overhead and profit will be added to the cost of (aa), (bb) and (cc) of the subcontractor's work only. A fixed fee of 10 percent will be added to the subcontractor's Work for the Contractor's administrative handling of portions of the Work that are performed by an approved subcontractor. No additional fixed fee will be allowed for the Contractor's or a subcontractor's administrative handling of Work performed by a subcontractor's subcontractor, unless by written permission from the Owner. All other costs not specifically listed above are considered to be included in the fixed fee. • 5/16/2017 G003-109U\TS-00700 General Conditions • (4) The Contractor shall, when required by the Owner, furnish the Owner00700 with-al-n7 itemized breakdown of the quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that might be ordered, in a printed format, and with sufficient detail as required by the Owner. (c) Changes in Contract Time: The Contract Time may be changed only by a Change Order. Changes in the Work described in (a) and any other claim made by the Contractor for a change in the Contract Time will be evaluated by the Owner with the assistance and input of the Engineer and if the conditions warrant, an appropriate adjustment of the Contract Time will be made. The Owner, when making these evaluations will take into consideration the amount and scope of Work which has been changed and will evaluate if the change in Work has affected the critical path as currently accepted on the progress schedule such that it would delay the completion of the Project. If after these evaluations have been made and in the sole opinion of the Owner, the Contractor is due an extension of time, then it will be granted by a Change Order and the Owner will pay the associated cost due the Contractor for direct field costs, only as outlined under Changes in Contract Price (aa) and (cc), exclusive of Item (bb), based on any delays to the overall Project. Extensions of time granted as a result of weather will not result in a change in Contract Price. • Article 30 - Payments and Completion (a) Contract Price: The Contract Price is either a lump sum or the sum of the unit prices, or a combination thereof, stated in the Contract Agreement, for each item multiplied by the actual quantities installed of each item, and is the total amount payable by the Owner to the Contractor for the performance of the Work set forth in the Contract Documents. It is understood that the Contractor shall provide and pay for all products, labor (including labor performed after regular working hours, on Sundays, or on legal holidays), equipment, tools, water, light, power, sewer, transportation, supervision, temporary construction of any nature, and all other services and facilities of any nature whatsoever necessary to execute, complete, place into operation, and deliver the Work. It is further understood that the Contractor's proposed construction schedule is based on a normal 40 hour, 5 day work week, less recognized holidays. If the Contractor desires to work in excess of this limit, the Contractor shall submit a written request to the Owner a minimum of five days prior to the desired work date.

In normal weather, conform to ACI 304R. No concrete shall be placed during rain or if rain is forecast unless there is sufficient time to complete the placement and finishing. B. Hot Weather Concreting: Protect in accordance with ACI 305R except as modified herein. 1. Provide adequate methods of lowering temperature of concrete ingredients so that the temperature of concrete when placed does not exceed 90 degrees F. 2. Concrete shall not be placed when the air temperature is expected to exceed 100 degrees F within 12 hours after casting. 3. When the air temperature is 75 degrees F. and above, forms and reinforcing shall be thoroughly wetted with water so that the concrete will be placed against wet and cooled surfaces. All excess water shall be removed before casting the concrete. 4. Protection and Curing-Slabs(On Grade and Formed) 41) a. Protect slabs from damage due to dry winds and high temperatures. Concrete surfaces shall not be allowed to surface dry prior to the start of curing. Should surfaces begin to dry they shall be misted with clean water until final curing can begin. b. Protect slabs from direct sun at temperatures of 85 degrees F. and above. c. Moist curing of all slabs shall start as soon as the surface of the fresh concrete is hard enough to permit curing without damage to the surface of the concrete. 5. Protection and Curing - Formed Surfaces: As soon as the concrete has set, wet the forms and keep the forms wet during the curing period. Provide for keeping the top of the walls, and other top surfaces, moist during the curing period. C. Cold-Weather Concreting: Protect in accordance with ACI 306R except as modified herein. 1. Provide adequate equipment for heating concrete materials and protecting concrete from damage during freezing or near-freezing weather. No frozen • materials, or materials containing ice,shall be used. 5/16/2017 G003-1090 VS-03300 03300- 12 Concrete Work 2. All concrete materials and all reinforcement, forms, fillers and ground with which concrete is to come into contact shall be free from frost. 3. Whenever the temperature of the surrounding air is below 40 degrees F. and falling, all concrete placed in the forms shall have a temperature of between 70 and 80 degrees F., and adequate means shall be provided for maintaining a temperature of not less than 70 degrees F. for three days, or 50 degrees F. for five days, or for as much more time as is necessary to insure proper curing of the concrete. If high early strength concrete is used, the requirement for maintenance of 50 degrees F. may be reduced to three days. 4. Use only the specified non-chloride accelerator. Calcium chloride or admixtures containing more than 0.1 percent chloride ions are not permitted. 5. Housing, covering or other protection used in connection with curing shall remain in place and intact at least 24 hours after the artificial heat is discontinued. D. Conform to ACI 302.1 R, ACI 308 and as specified herein. E. Consolidation 1. During and immediately after placement, concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated and worked into all corners and angles and around • reinforcement and embedded fixtures in a manner to fill all voids, prevent honeycombing against the forms an avoid segregation of coarse aggregate This operation shall be performed by the use of spades or forks and internal vibrators. 2. Vibration shall be transmitted directly to the concrete and in no case shall it be transmitted through the forms. Vibration driving mechanisms shall revolve at not less than 7,000 rpm. The vibration shall be sufficiently intense to cause the concrete to flow and settle readily into place and to visibly affect the concrete over a radius of at least 18 inches. Vibration shall be supplemented by manual forking or spading adjacent to the forms on exposed faces in order to secure smooth, dense surfaces. Special care shall be taken to ensure consolidation around reinforcement, pipes, and other shapes built into the work. Vibrators shall not be used to transport concrete within the forms. Vibrators shall be kept in motion at all times to prevent excessive vibration in one spot. The operation shall be continuous and all concrete shall be in final position before initial set has started. 3. In addition to the vibrators in actual use while concrete is being placed, the Contractor shall have on hand at least one operable vibrator as a spare in case of equipment failure. No concrete shall be placed until all vibrating equipment, including spares, is at the placement site. • 5/16/2017 G003-1090\TS-03300 03300- 13 Concrete Work • 4. Concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated prior to top finishing. All laitance, debris, and surplus water shall be removed from concrete surfaces at topes of forms by screeding, scraping, or other effective means. Wherever the top of a wall will be exposed to weathering, the forms shall be overfilled and after the concrete has been compacted, the excess shall be screeded off. F. Approved curing methods are as follows: 1. Water curing by covering the entire surface of concrete with water. The curing water should not be more than 20 degrees F cooler than the concrete. 2. Water curing by fog spraying or sprinkling to provide a continuous film of water over the entire surface of concrete. 3. Water curing by means of covering the entire surface with absorbent materials which shall be kept moist. Absorbent materials can be burlap, cotton mats, rugs, or other approved materials. 4. Curing by means of covering the entire surface with waterproof sheet materials to reduce the loss of mixing water from the concrete. Materials can be polyethylene sheeting, waterproof paper, or polyethylene-coated • burlap. On slabs, the sheets should extend over the edges at least twice the slab thickness. During cold weather, black polyethylene sheeting should be used, and in hot weather, white polyethylene sheeting should be used. Do not use polyethylene on slab surfaces that will be exposed. 5. Curing by means of spraying or rolling a liquid membrane forming curing compound according to manufacturer's recommendations over the entire surface. A white-pigmented Class 2 compound shall be used when the concrete is exposed to the sun; otherwise, use Class 1. Curing compounds shall not be used in areas to receive adhesives for floor coverings or paint without certification of compatibility from the Contractor. G. Minimum period of curing for all methods is 7 days unless a shorter period is approved by the Engineer. 3.07 Finishes A. Vertical and overhead surface finishes shall be as follows except where noted otherwise on the drawings or finish schedule. 1.

Rub entire surface of concrete with a fine abrasive stone to create a smooth surface, free of all form marks. Finishing is to start as soon as possible after concrete will support itself. Finishing of any section is to be complete within 4 hours of the stripping of forms on that section. B. Slab Finishes 1. Scratch Finish: Slab surfaces to receive a bonded applied cementitious application shall all be thoroughly raked or wire broomed after partial setting (within 2 hours after placing) to roughen surface to insure a permanent bond between base slab and applied cementitious materials. • 2. Float Finish: Unless noted otherwise, surfaces to receive a float finish shall include interior stair treads, equipment pads and surfaces intended to receive roofing or waterproofing membranes. After the concrete has been placed, struck off, and leveled, the concrete shall not be worked further until ready for floating. Floating shall begin when the water sheen has disappeared. During the first floating, the slabs shall be checked for planeness of surface. The slab shall then be refloated immediately to a uniform sandy texture. 3. Troweled Finish: Unless noted otherwise, surfaces to receive a troweled finish include exposed concrete floors and floors to receive resilient floor covering or carpet.

No individual strength test shall be less than the specified strength by more than 500 psi. 2. Should the average compressive strength of the 28-day specimens or the compressive strength of any single specimen fall more than 500 psi below the minimum strengths specified above, the Engineer shall have the right to order a change in the mix design for the remaining portion of the work. The Engineer shall also have the right to order additional curing of the affected concrete followed by cores taken in accordance with ASTM 042 and ACI 318, all at the expense of the Contractor. If the additional curing • does not bring the average compressive strength of the 28-day cores taken 5/16/2017 G003-1090\TS-03300 03300-17 Concrete Work • in the affected area to at least the minimum strength specified, the Engineer may require that the Contractor strengthen the structure by means of additional concrete and steel or he may require that the Contractor replace the affected portions. The cost of all such changes in mix designs and any modifications to or replacement of deficient concrete shall be borne by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner. E. Slump. Determine the slump of concrete for each test in accordance with ASTM C143. If a HPWR admixture is used then the slump shall be measured before and after the addition of the admixture. The slump shall be as specified when measured in accordance with ASTM C 143. Samples for slump determination shall be taken from the concrete during placing. Tests shall be made at the beginning of concrete placing operations and at subsequent intervals to insure that the specification requirements are met. When concrete is pumped, slump tests shall be taken from concrete at the discharge end of the pump hose. Slump tests shall also be performed whenever standard cylinders are cast. F. Air Content. Determine air content of concrete for each test only for the concrete requiring air entrainment. Air content tests shall be made in accordance with ASTM C231. G.
