shah be as binding as if given to the CONTRACTOR.
G-
The CONTRACTOR is and at all times shall remain an independent contractor, solely
..... responsible for the manner and method of completing his work under this contract, with full
power and authority to select the means, method and manner of performing such work, so long as
such methods do not adversely affect the completed improvements, the OWNER and ENGINEER
being interested only in the result obtained and conformity of such completed improvements to
~ the plans, specifications and contract.
Likewise, the CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for the safety of himself, his employ-
ecs and other persons, as well as for the protection of the safety of the improvements being erected
· and the property of himself or any other person, as a result of his operations hereunder. Engineer-
ing construction drawings and specifications as well as any additional information concerning the
work to be performed passing from or through the ENGINEER shall not be interpreted as
· requiring or allowing CONTRACTOR to deviate from the plans and specifications, the intent of
such drawings, specifications and any other such instructions being to define with particularity the
agreement of the parties as to the work the CONTRACTOR is to perform. CONTRACTOR shall be
fully and completely liable, at his own expense, for design, construction, installation and use, or
non-use, of all items and methods incident to performance of the contract, and for all loss, damage
or injury incident thereto, either to person or property, including, without limitation, the adequacy
of all temporary supports, shoring, bracing, scaffolding, machinery or equipment, safety precau-
tions or devices, and similar items or devices used by him during construction.
Any review of work in process, or any visit or observation during ~onstruction, or any
clarification of plans and specifications, by the ENGINEER, or any agent, employee, or represen-
tative of either of them, whether through personal observation on the project site or by means of
approval of shop drawings for temporary construction or construction processes, or by other means
or method, is agreed by the CONTRACTOR to be for the purpose of observing the extent and
nature of work completed or being performed, as measured against the drawings and specifications
constituting the contract, or for the purpose of enabling CONTRACTOR to more fully understand
the plans and specifications so that the completed construction work will conform thereto, and
shall in no way relieve the CONTRACTOR from full and complete responsibility for the proper
performance of his work on the project, including but without limitation the propriety 'of means
and methods of the CONTRACTOR in performing said contract, and the adequacy of any designs,
plans or other facilities for accomplishing such performance. Deviation by the CONTRACTOR
from plans and specifications that may have been in evidence during any such visitation or
observation by the ENGINEER, or any of his representatives, whether called to the CONTR~,C-
TOR'S attention or not shall in no way relieve CONTRACTOR from his responsibility to complete
all work in accordance with said plans and specifications.
2.08 CONTRACTOR'S UNDERSTANDING. It is understood and agreed that the CON-
TRACTOR has, by careful examination, satisfied himself as to the nature and location of the work,
the conformation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of the materials to be encoun-
tered, the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of
the work, the general and local conditions, and all other matters which can ~.n any way affect the
work under this contract. No verbal agreement or conversation with any officer, agent or employee
of the OWNER or ENGINEER either before or after the execution of this contract, shall affect or
modify any of the terms or obligations herein contained.
2.09 CHARACTER OF WORKMEN. The CONTRACTOR agrees to employ only orderly
and competent men, skillful in the performance of the type of work required under this contract,
to do the work; and agrees that whenever the ENGINEER shall inform him in writing that any man
or men on the work are, in his opinion, incompetent, unfaithful or disorderly, such man or men
shall be discharged from the work and shall not again be employed on the work without the
ENGINEER'S written consent.
2.10 CONTRACTOR'S BUILDINGS. The building of structures for housing men, or the
erection of tents or other forms of protection, will be permitted only at such places as the
ENGINEER shall direct, and the sanitary conditions of the 'grounds in or about such structures
shall at all times be maintained in a manner satisfactory to the ENGINEER.
2.11 SANITATION. Necessary sanitary conveniences for the use of laborers on the work,
properly ~ecluded from public observation, shall be constructed and maintained by the CONTRAC-
TOR in such manner and at such points as shall be approved by the ENGINEER, and their use
~hall be strictly enforced.
2.12 SHOP DRAWINGS. The CONTRACTOR shall submit to the ENGINEER, with such
promptness as to cause no delay in his own work or in that of any other Contractor, four checked
copies, unless otherwise specified, of all shop and/or setting drawings and schedules required for
the work of the various trades, and the ENGINEER shall pass upon them with reasonable prompt-
nero, making desired corrections. The CONTRACTOR shall make any corrections required by the
ENGINEER, file with him two corrected copies and furnish such other copies as may be needed.
The ENGINEER'S approval of such drawings or schedules shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR
from responsibility for deviations from drawings or specifications, unless he has in writing called
the ENGINEER'S attention to such deviations at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him
from responsibility for 'errors of any sort in shop drawings or schedules. It shall be the CONTRAC-
TOR'S responsibility to fully and completely review all shop drawings to ascertain their effect on
his ability to perform the required contract work in accordance with the plans and specifications
and within the contract time.
Such review by the ENGINEER shall be for the sole purpose of determining the sufficiency
of said drawings or schedules to result in finished improvements in conformity with the plans and
specifications, and shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR of his duty as an independent contractor
as previously set forth, it being expressly understood and agreed that the ENGINEER does not
amume any duty to pass upon the propriety or adequacy of such drawings or schedules, or
any means or methods reflected thereby, in relation to the safety of either person or property
during CONTRACTOR'S performance hereunder.
2.13 PRELIMINARY APPROVAL. The ENGINEER shall not have the power to waive the
obligations of this contract for the furnishing by the CONTRACTOR of good material, and of
his performing good work as herein described, and in full accordance with the plans and specifica-
tions. No failure or omis~on of the ENGINEER to discover, object to or condemn any defective
work or material shall release the CONTRACTOR from the obligations to fully and .properly
perform the contract, including without limitations, the obligation to at once tear out, remove and
properly replace the same at any time prior to final acceptance upon the discovery of said defective
work or material; provided, however, that the ENGINEER shall, upon request of the CONTRAC-
TOR, inspect and accept or reject any material furnished, and in event the material has been once
accepted by the ENGINEER, such acceptance shall be binding on the OWNER, unless it can be
clearly shown that such material furnished does not meet the specifications for this work.
Any questioned work may be ordered taken up or removed for re-examination, by the
ENGINEER, prior to final acceptance, and if found not in accordance with the specifications for
mid work, all expense of removing, re-examination and replacement shall be borne by .the
CONTRACTOR, otherwise the expense thus incurred shall be allowed as EXTRA WORK, and
~hall be paid for by the OWNER; provided that, where inspection or approval is specifically
r~uired by the specifications prior to performance of certain ~'~rk, ~hould the CONTRACTOR
proceed with such work without requesting prior inspection or a~.~,roval he shall bear all expense of
taking up, removing, and replacing this work if so directed by the ENGINEER.
2.14 DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES. It is further agreed that if the work or any part
thereof, or any material brought on the site of the work for use in the work or selected for the
same, shall be deemed by the ENGINEER as unsuitable or not in conformity with the speci-
fications, the CONTRACTOR shall, after receipt of written notice thereof from the ENGINEER,
forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such work ~o that it shall be in
full accordance with this contract.
2.15 CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS. The CONTRACTOR further agrees that the OWNER
may make such changes and alterations as the OWNER may see fit, in the line, grade, form,
dimensions, plans or materials for the work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before
or after the beginning of the construction, without affecting the validity of this contract and the
accompanying Performance and Payment Bonds.
If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not
constitute the basis for a claim for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be
dispensed with, except as provided for unit price items under Section 5 "Measurement and Pay-
ment.'' If the amount of work is increased, and the work can fairly be classified under the speci-
fications, such increase shall be paid for according to the quantity actually done and at the unit
price, if any, established for such work under this contract, except as provided for unit price
items under Section 5 "Measurement and Payment;" otherwise, such additional work shall be paid
for as provided under Extra Work. In case the OWNER shall make such changes or alterations as
shall make useless any work already done or material already furnished or used in said work,
then the OWNER shall recompense the CONTRACTOR for any material or labor so used,
and for any actual loss occasioned by such change, due to actual expenses incurred in preparation
for the work as originally planned.
3. GENERAL OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

causing loss to the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER agrees that he will reimburse the CONTRACTOR
for such loss. In the event the OWNER is damaged in the course of the work by the act, negligence,
omission, mistake or default of the CONTRACTOR, or should the CONTRACTOR unreasonably
delay the progress of the work being done by others on the job so as to cause loss for which the
OWNER becomes liable, then the CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the OWNER for such loss.

be liable for any and all claims for such damage on account of his failure to fully protect all
adjoining property. The CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the OWNER
and ENGINEER against any claim or claims for damages due to any injury to any adjacent or
adjoining property, arising or growing out of the performance of the contract; but any such
indemnity shall not apply to any claim of any kind arising out of the existence or character
of the work.

commissary, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this contract. When so desired by
the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the
nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails
..... so to do, then the OWNER may at the option of the CONTRACTOR either pay directly any
unpaid bills, of which the OWNER has written notice, or withhold from the CONTRACTOR'S
unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to liquidate any and all such
lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged,
whereupon payments to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed in full, in accordance with the terms
of this contract, but in no event shall the provi~ons of this ~entence be construed, to impo~ any
obligation upon the OWNER by either the CONTRACTOR or his Surety.
3.14 PROTECTION AGAINST ROYALTIES OR PATENTED INVENTION. The CON-

The obligation of the CONTRACTOR under this Paragraph shall not extend to the liability
of the ENGINEER, his agents or employees arising out of the preparation or approval of maps,
drawings, reports, surveys, Change Orders, designs or specifications, or the giving of or the
failure to give directions or instructions by the ENGINEER, his agents or employees, provided
such giving or failure to give is the primary cause of the injury or damage.

unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall be allowed to prosecute
his work at such times and seasons, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be
most conducive to economy of construction: provided, however, that the order and the time of
prosecution shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in
accordance with this contract, the plans and specifications, and within the time of completion
designated in the Proposal; provided, also, that when the OWNER is having other work done, either
by contract or by his own force, the ENGINEER may direct the time and manner of constructing
the work done under this contract, so that conflict will be avoided and the construction of the
various works being done for the OWNER shall be harmonized.
The CONTRACTOR shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the
ENGINEER, schedules which shall show the order in which the CONTRACTOR proposes to
carry on the work, with dates at which the CONTRACTOR will start the several parts of the work,
and estimated dates of completion of the several parts.
G-8 ~ ' ......... '
'~: 4~02 ;EXTENSION OF TIME. Should the CONTRACTOR be delayed in the completion
of the work ,by any act or neglect of the OWNER or ENGINEER, or of any employee of either,
or by other contractors employed by the OWNER, or by changes ordered in the work, or by
Strikes, lockouts, fires, and unusual delays by common carriers, or unavoidable cause or causes
beyond the CONTRACTOR'S control, or by any cause which the ENGINEER shall decide justifies
the 'delay, 'then an extension-of time shall be allowed for completing the work, sufficient to
compensate for the delay,~ the amount 'of the extension to be determined.by the ENGINEER,
provided, however, that the CONTRACTOR shall give the ENGINEER prompt .notice in writing
of the cause of such delay.
· . 4.03' HINDRANCES AND DELAYS. No claims shall be made by the CONTRACTOR for
damages 'resulting from hindrances or delays from any cause (except where the work is stopped by
Order of the OWNER) during the progress of any portion of the work embraced in this contract.
In ca-~e said work shall be stopped by the act of the OWNER, then such expense as in the judgment
of the ENGINEER is caused by such stoppage of said work shall be paid by the OWNER to the
CONTRACTOR.
. 5. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
5.0i QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS. No extra or customary measurements of
any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed length, area, solid contents,
number and weight only, shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided.
· 5.02 ESTIMATED QUANTITIES. This agreement, including the specifications, plans and
estimate, is intended to show clearly, all work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder.
Where the estimated quantities are shown for the various classes of work to be done and material
to b~e furnished under this contract, they are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for
estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing the proposals offered for the work.
]t is understood ~nd agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and material to be furnished
Under this contract may differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis for
payment under this contract is the unit price method, payment shall be for the actual amount of
such work done and the material furnished.
Where payment is based on the unit price method, the CONTRACTOR agrees that he will
make no claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise on account of any differences which
..may be found between the quantities of work actually done, the material actually furnished
under this contract and the estimated quantities contemplated and contained in the proposal;
~ro. Vided, however, that in case the actual quantity of any major item should become as much
'as 20% more than, or 20% less than the estimated or contemplated quantity for such items, then
either party to this Agreement, upon demand, shall be entitled to a revised consideration upon the
portion of the work above or below 20% of the estimated quantity.
~. .. A "Major Item" shall be construed to be any individual bid item incurred in the proposal that
'has a total cost equal to or greater than five (5) per cent of the total contract cost, computed on the
'basis of the proposal quantities and the contract unit prices.
Any revised consideration is to be determined by agreement between the parties, otherwise
ib.~,.'the term.s, of this Agreement, as provided under "Extra Work."
"""' 5'.03 :'PRICE OF WORK. 'In consideration of the furnishing of all the necessary labor,
'eq6'ipment and material,', and the completion of all work by the CONTRACTOR, and on the
completion of all work and of the delivery of all material embraced in this Contract in full
!,conformity with the specifications and stipulations herein contained, the OWNER agrees to pay
the CONTRACTOR the prices set forth in the Proposal hereto attached, which has been made a
part of this 'Contract. The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to receive such prices in full for furnishing
all material and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also for all expense incurred by him, and
for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to
this Agreement.
5.04 PARTIAL PAYMENTS. On Or before the 10th day of each month, the CONTRACTOR
shall prepare and submit to the ENGINEER for approval or modification a statement showing as
completely as practicable the total value of the work done by the CONTRACTOR up to and
including the last day of the preceding month; said statement shall also include the value of all
sound materials delivered on the site of the work that are to be fabricated into the work.
The OWNER shall then pay the CONTRACTOR on or before the 15th day of the current
month the total amount of the approved statement, less ~0 per cent of the amount thereof,
which 10 per cent shall be retait~ed until final payment, and further less all previous payments
and all further sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement.
It is understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to completion and some unexpected
and unusual delay occurs due to no fault or neglect on the part of the CONTRACTOR, the
OWNER may-upon written recommendation of the ENGINEER-pay a reasonable and equitable
portion of the retained percentage to the CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR at the OWNER'S
option, may be relieved of the obligation to fu!lv complete the work and, thereupon, the CON-
TRACTOR shall receive payment of the balance due him under the contract subject only to the
conditions stated under "Final Payment."
5.05 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS. The OWNER shall have the right to take possession
of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time
for completing the entire work or such portions may not have expired but such taking possession
and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the
Contract Documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the CONTRACTOR
shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time, or both, as the ENGINEER may
determine.
The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER when, in the CONTRACTOR'S opinion,
the contract is "substantially completed" and when so notifying the ENGINEER, the CONTRAC-
TOR shall furnish to the ENGINEER in writing a detailed list of unfinished work. The ENGINEER
will review the CONTRACTOR'S list of unfinished work and will add thereto such items as the
CONTRACTOR has failed to include. The "substantial completion" of the structure or facility shall
not excuse the CONTRACTOR from performing all of the work undertaken, whether of a minor or
major nature, and thereby completing the structure or facility in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
5.06 FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE. Within ten (10) days after the CON-
TRACTOR has given the ENGINEER written notice that the work has been completed, or
substantially completed, the ENGINEER and the OWNER shall inspect the work and within
said time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in accordance with
the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER shall issue to the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR his
Certificate of Completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the OWNER within ten (10) days
to issue a Certificate of Acceptance of the work to the CONTRACTOR or to advise the CONTRAC-
TOR in writing of the reason for non-acceptance.
5.07 FINAL PAYMENT. Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the ENGI-
NEER shall proceed to make final measurements and prepare final statement of the value of all
work performed and materials furnished under the terms of the Agreement and shall certify same
to the OWNER, who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR on or after the 30th day, and before the
35th day, after the date of the Certificate of Completion, the balance due the CONTRACTOR
under the terms of this Agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual obligations
under the terms of this contract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said
performance by the CONTRACTOR. Neither the Certificate of Acceptance nor the final payment,
nor any provision in the Contract Documents, shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of the obligation for
fulfillment of any warranty which may be required.
5.08 PAYMENTS WITHHELD. The OWNER may, on account of subsequently discovered
evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any certificate to such extent as may be
necessary to protect himself from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied.
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims.
(c) Failure of the CONTRACTOR to make payments properly to sub-
contractors or for material or labor.
(d) Damage to another contractor.
(e) Reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the unpaid
balance of the contract amount.
(f) Reasonable indication that the work will not be completed within
the contract time.
When the above grounds are removed or the CONTRACTOR provides a Surety Bond
satisfactory to the OWNER, which will protect the OWNER in the amount withheld, payment
shall be made for amounts withheld because of them.
5.09 DELAYED PAYMENTS. Should the OWNER fail to make payment to the CONTRAC-
TOR of the sum named in any partial or final statement, when payment is due, then the OWNER
shall pay to the CONTRACTOR, in addition to the sum shown as due by such statement, interest
thereon at the rate of six (6) per cent per annum, unless otherwise specified, from date due as
provided under "Partial Payments" and "Final Payments," until full~' paid, which shall fully
liquidate any injury to the CONTRACTOR growing out of such delay in payment, but the right
is expressly reserved to the CONTRACTOR in the event payments be not promptly made,
as provided under "Partial Payments," to at any time thereafter treat the contract as abandoned
by the OWNER and recover compensation, as provided under "Abandonment of Contract," unless
such payments are withheld in accordance with the provisions of "Payments Withheld."
6. EXTRA WORK AND CLAIMS
6.01 CHANGE ORDERS: Without invalidating this Agreement, the OWNER may, at any
time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions to the work; such changes will
be authorized by Change Order to be prepared by the ENGINEER for execution by the OWNER
and the CONTRACTOR. The Change Order shall set forth the basis for any change ir, contract
price, as hereinafter set forth for Extra Work, and any change in contract time which may result
from the change.
In the event the CONTRACTOR shall refuse to execute a Change Order which has been
prepared by the ENGINEER and executed by the OWNER, the ENGINEER may in writing
instruct the CONTRACTOR to proceed with the work as set forth in the Change Order and the
CONTRACTOR may make claim against the OWNER for Extra Work involved therein, as herein-
after provided.
6.02 MINOR CHANGES: The ENGINEER may authorize minor changes in the work not
inconsistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in
Contract Price. If the CONTRACTOR believes that any minor change or alteration authorized
by the ENGINEER involves Extra Work and entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price,
the CONTRACTOR shall make written request to the ENGINEER for a written Field Order.
In such case, the CONTRACTOR by copy of his communication to the ENGINEER or
otherwise in writing shall advise the OWNER of his request to the ENGINEER for a written
Field Order and that the work involved may result in an increase in the Contract Price.
Any request by the CONTRACTOR for a change in Contract Price shall be made prior to
beginning the work covered by the proposed change.
~6.03 EXTRA WORK: It is agreed that the basis or' compensation to the CONTRACTOR for
work either added or deleted by a Change Order or for which a claim for Extra Work is made shall
be determined by one or more of the following methods:
G-11 ~., T,., ,.,,-. ~,
Method (A)--By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B)--By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C)--If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be ~greed upon before
the Extra Work is commenced, then the CONTRACTOR shall
be paid the "actual field cost" of the work, plus fifteen (15)
percent.
In the event said Extra Work be performed and paid 'for under Method (C), then the pro-
visions of this paragraph shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the
cost to the CONTRACTOR of all workmen, such as foreman, timekeepers, mechanics and
laborers, and materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for the time
actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual transportation charges
incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, also all
necessary incidental expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social
Security, Old Age Benefits and other payroll taxes, and, a rateable proportion of premiums on
Performance and Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage
and Workmen's Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by any law or ordinance,
or directed by the OWNER, or by them agreed to. The ENGINEER may direct the form in which
accounts of the "actual field cost" shall be kept and the records of these accounts shall be made
available to the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER or OWNER may also specify in writing, before the
work commences, .the method of doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and equip-
mznt to be used; otherwise these matters shall be determined by the CONTRACTOR. Unless
otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined by
using 100 per cent, unless otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership
Expense adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practicable the
terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the Written
Extra Work Order. The fifteen (15%) per cent of the "actual field cost" to be paid the CONTRAC-
TOR shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field
office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field
cost" as herein defined, save that where the CONTRACTOR'S Camp or Field Office must be
maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work; then the cost to maintain and operate the
same shall be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by the
ENGINEER. In case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the CONTRAC-
TOR to involve Extra Work for which he should receive compensation or an adjustment in the
construction time, he shall make written request to the ENGINEER for written order authorizing
such Extra Work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute
Extra Work, or as to the payment therefor, and the ENGINEER insists upon its performance,
'the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work after making written request for written order
and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual field cost" thereof, ~ provided under Method
(C). The CONTRACTOR will thereby preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to
arbitration, as hereinbelow provided.
6.04 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS. It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all
questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the CONTRACTOR shall be in writing and
filed with the ENGINEER within thirty (30) days after the ENGINEER has given any directions,
order or instruction to which the CONTRACTOR desires to take exception. The ENGINEER
shall reply within thirty (30) days to such written ~xceptions by the CONTRACTOR and render
his final decision in writing. In case the CONTRACTOR should appeal from the ENGINEER'S
decision, any demand for arbitration shall be filed with the ENGINEER and the OWNER in
writing within ten (10) days af'~er the date of delivery to CONTRACTOR of the ENGINEER'S
final decision. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the work by the OWNER and the
acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment shall be a bar to any claims by either
party, except where noted otherwise in the Contract Documents.
6.05 ARBITRATION. All questions of dispute under, this Agreement shall be submitted
to arbitration at the request of either party to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one
arbiter, otherwise, there shall be three, one named in writing by each party, and the third chosen
G-12 ® ,,, ,., ~ ~.
by the two arbiters so selected; or if the arbiters fail to select a third within ten (10) days,
he shall be chosen by a District Judge serving the County in which the major portion of the
project is located, unless otherwise specified. Should the party demanding arbitration fail to
name an arbiter within ten (10) days of the demand, his right to arbitrate shall lapse, and the
decision of the ENGINEER shall be final and binding on him. Should the other party fail to
choose an arbiter within ten (10) days, the ENGINEER shall appoint such arbiter. Should either
party refuse or neglect to supply the arbiters with any papers or information demanded in
writing, the arbiters are empowered by both parties to take ex parte proceedings.
The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision of any two shall be binding on both
parties to the contract. The decision of the arbiters upon any question submitted to arbitration
under this contract shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action. The decision of
the arbiter or arbiters may be filed in court to carry it into effect.
The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized to award the party whose
contention is sustained, such sums as they deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident
to the appeal, and if the appeal was taken without reasonable cause, they may award damages for
any delay occasioned thereby. The arbiters shall fix their own compensation, unless otherwise
provided by agreement, and shall assess the cost and charges of the arbitration upon either or both
parties. The award of the arbiters must be made in writing.
7. ABANDONMENT OF CONTRACT
7.01 ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR. In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon
and fail or refuse to resume work Within ten (10) days after written notification from the
or the ENGINEER, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the orders of the ENGINEER,
when such orders are consistent ~with the Contract Documents, then, and in that case, where
performance and payment bonds exist, the Sureties on these bonds shall be notified in writing and
directed to complete the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR.
After receiving said notice of abandonment the CONTRACTOR shall not remove from the
work any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same,
together with any materials and equipment under contract for the work, may be held for use on the
work by the OWNER or the Surety on the performance bond, or another contractor in completion
of the work; and the CONTRACTOR shall not receive any rental or credit therefor (except when
used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under Section
Extra Work and Claims), it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will
ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
Where there is no performance bond provided or in ease t~e Surety should fail to commence
compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for, within ten (10) days after
service of such notice, then the OWNER may provide for completion of the work in either of the
following elective manners:
7.01.1 The OWNER may thereupon employ such force of men and use such machinery,
equipment, tools, materials and supplies as said OWNER may deem necessary to complete the
work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies
to said CONTRACTOR, and expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the OWNER out
of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time become due to the CONTRAC-
TOR under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than the sum which would
have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the CONTRACTOR,
then said CONTRACTOR shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum
which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by said
CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such
excess to the OWNER; or
7.01.2 The OWNER under sealed bids, after five'(5) days notice published one or more
times in a newspaper having general circulation in the county of the location of the work, may
let the contract for the completion of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions
which are provided in this contract. In case any increase in cost to the OWNER under the new
contract as compared to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increase shall be
charged to the CONTRACTOR and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefor. However,
should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than what would have been
the cost to complete under this contract, the CONTRACTOR' and/or his Surety shall be credited
therewith. G-13 o ,~ T,,
When the work shall have been substantially completed the CONTRACTOR and his Surety
shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, as provided in Paragraph 5.06
hereinabove, shall be issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to
by the ENGINEER as being correct, shall then be prepared and delivered to the CONTRACTOR
and his Surety, whereupon the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety, or the OWNER as the case may
be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement, within fifteen (15) days after the date
of such Certificate of Completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less
than that which would have been the cost to the OWNER had the work been completed by the
CONTRACTOR under the terms of this contract; or when the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety
shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the OWNER, then ali machinery, equipment,
tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the CONTRACTOR
and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the
CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time
designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies
on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and
materials, shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety at the respective addresses
designated in this contract, provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner will
satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at
the risk of the CONTRACTOR and his Surety subject only to the duty of the OV,.~ER to exercise
ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice the
OWNER may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net sum
derived from such sale to the credit of the CONTRACTOR and his Surety. Such sale may be made
at either public o~ pri~'ate sale, with or without notice, as the OWNER may elect. The OV,~ER
shall release any machinery, equipment, tools,' materials, or supplies, which remain on the work,
and belong to persons other than the CONTRACTOR or his Surety, to their proper owners.
The books on all operations provided herein shall be open to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety.
7.02 ABANDONMENT BY OWNER. In ease the OWNER shall fail to comply with the
terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms within ten (10) days
after written notification b.v the CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or
wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and
all materials on the site of work that have not been included in payments to the CONTRACTOR
and have not been wrought into the work. And thereupon the ENGINEER shall make an estimate
of the total amount earned by the CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all
work actually completed by said CONTRACTOR (at the prices state~l in ',he attached proposal
where unit prices are used), the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable
price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by
the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the
CONTRACTOR to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot be utilized. The
ENGINEER shall then make a final statement of the balance due the CONTRACTOR by deducting
from the above estimate all previous payments by the OWNER and all other sums that may be
retained b:,' the OWNER under the terms of this A~reement and shall certify same to the OWNER
who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the notification
by the CONTRACTOR the balance shown by said final statement as due the CONTRACTOR,
under the terms of this Agreement.

1. Existing Utilities: Locations and sizes of existing
_ utilities os shown on the drawings ore based on the
best available information and may not be entirely
correct. Exact locotion~ depth and size must be
lied by the contractor in the field. Additional
- compensation will not be allowed if damage to the
uti]ities results becouse of minor discreponcies
between ]ocotions shown on the drowings ond octuol
- field locations. Relocation of utilities in place
sho]l be done whether or not such work is specif'i-
colly shown on the drawings.
2. Any existing utilities that may be shown on the
drawings or the location of ~hich is mode known to
the contractor prior to excavation shall be protected
~- from damage during the excavation and bockfillin9 of
trenches and, if damaged, shall be repaired by the
contractor at his expense.
3. Any existing utility that is not shown on the
drawings or the location of which ore not known to
the contractor in sufficient time to ovoid damage, if
inadvertently damaged during excavation, shall be
immediately repaired by the contractor due to the
existence of utilities that ore not shown on the
-' drawings or the location of which is not known to the
contractor at the time of bidding.
q. Any existing utility lines and services shall be main-
tained at o1~ times, except fo~ such short periods of
t~me as may be necessary to actually make connections
to new work to the existing system. When it is neces-
sary to temporarily interrupt service for the above
purpose, such sho]l be done on~y at such dote and
time os may be established in advance by the Engineer.
-- Those lines shown on the drawings to be abandoned or
removed shall not be abandoned or removed until after
Sec. 07500
it has been determined that they o~e no longer

- tect these limit marks and bench m arks set by the
Engineer. Should the mo=ks become destroyed or
damaged, the cost of their :ep]ocement will be at the
_ Contractor's expense.
4. The Engineer may furnish o representative to check
alignment and grade, after it has been laid out ready
-- for construction~ however, this will in no way lessen
the responsibility of the Contractor to see that
grade and alignment are correct at oll times.
5. The lines and grade of the pipe and all other appur-
tenances will be as shown on the plans or os directed
_ by the Engineer.
~. The Contractor shall give the Engineer a minimum of
fo~ty-eight 1~8~ hours notice for any engineering or
-- inspection necessomy to continue or complete the work.

than the outside diomete= of the pipe laid therein,
and shall be excavated true to line, so that clear
space of not less thom ~ inches nor more than 8
.... inches in width is provided on each side of the pipe.
Sec. O?SO0
The bottom of trenches shall be accurately graded to
provide uniform bearing and support for each section
of pipe or undisturbed soil at every point along its
entire length, except for positions of the pipe
sections where it is necessary to excavate for bell
holes. Bell holes shall be excavated only to on
extent sufficient to permit accurate work in the
making of the )oints and to insure that the pipe, for
a maximum of its length, will rest upon the prepared
_ bottom of the trench. The bottom of oll trenches
sho]] be rounded so that at least one-fourth ~1/~1 of
the circumference of the pipe rests firmly on
undisturbed soil. If the Oontractor should, by error,
- excavate below the prope~ elevation fo~ the bed of'
the pipe or should he desire to substitute on
approved granu]ar bockfi11~ properly tamped, for
supporting the pipe to the same extent as the shape
trench bottom, then the Oontractor must bring the
trench bottom to the proper grade by refilling, at
._ the Contractor's expense, with on approved g~anulor
backfill. This backfill material shall be sand or
fine grovel that does not contain large rocks or
other deleterious materials and should be placed so
- that it is at least 2 inches deep below the bottom
and so that the lower one-third I1/3} of the pipe is
uniformly supported on undisturbed soil.
3. All excavation shall be placed on one side of the
trench, unless permission is given by the Engineer to
place it on both sides. Excavated materials shall be
placed so os not to endanger the work, and so that
free access may be hod at all times to all ports of
the trench. All shade trees, shrubs, etc., along the
-- line of construction shall reasonably protected, and
tunneled if necessary unless specific directions ore
given to remove them.
The Contractor shall provide, without additional
compensation, suitable temporary channels for the
water that may flow along or across the site of the
wo~k. Any water pumped from the trenches, or other
excavations, must be disposed of in o manne~
satisfactory to the Engineer.
H. BRACING AND SHORING
- 1. The Contractor shall, when necessary or when directed
by the Engineer, furnish, put in place, and maintain
o1] without additional compensation, such sheeting,
bracing, etc., os may be required to support the
- sides of the excavation and to prevent any movement
which con in any way damage od)ocent pavement or
other structures, damage or delay the wo~k or con-
- struction, or endanger life and health. Core shall
be taken to prevent voids ou'tside the sheeting, but,
if voids are formed, they shall be immediately filled
_ and rammed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Sec. 07500
2. For the purpose of preventing in)ury to persons,
corporations or property, whether public or private,
[where the liability for damage on account of which
is to be assumed entirely and solely by the Con-
t~actor unde~ this cont~actl he may
place, to be embedded in the backfill of the trench
.... any and 011 sheeting, bracing, etc., in addition to
that ordered in writing by the Engineer to be left in
place, except that no sheeting and bracing which is
_. within ~ feet of the surface of the street may be
left in place in the trench without w~itten
permission of the Engineer.
- 3. All sheeting and bracing which may not be left
p]ace under the foregoing sewer of other structures,
utilities or property, whether public or pr/vote.
- Ail voids left by the withdrawal of sheeting shall be
immediate]y refilled and compacted by ramming or
water, or otherwise, as may be directed.
~. The right of the Engineer to order sheeting and
bracing left in place shall not be construed as cre-
ating an obligation on his part to issue such orders;
- and his failure to exercise his right to do so shall
not relieve the Contractor from liobility or damages
to persons o= property, occurring from or upon the
_ work of constructing the sewer occasioned by neg]i-
gence o= otherwise, growing out of the failure of the
Controcto= to ]eave in ploce in the trench sufficient
sheeting and bracing to p~event ony caving or moving
of the ground adjacent to the banks of the trench.
I. DEWATERING
The Cont=acto~ shall at 011 times during construction,
provide and mointain ample means and devices with which
_ to promptly remove and prope=ly dispose of 011 wate~
entering the sewe= trenches or excavations, and keep said
excavations dry until the structures are poured and the
concrete has set. No pipes sba1] be laid, nor pipe
- }oints made, in wate=; nor shall water be allowed to rise
over masonry or mo=tar until the concrete or morta~ has
set ot least [wenty-fou: (26} hou=s.
J. BEDDING MATERIAL

the pipe bo=re1 and each pipe section, when in place,
shall have o uniform bearing on the sand cushion fo~ the
full length of the pipe barrel. Pipe shall not be
- un]ess the sand cushion is f~ee of water and in a condi-
tion satisfactory to the Engineer. Ad}ustments of the
pipe to line ond grade shall be made by scraping away or
filling in with grave], or approved se]ected
and not by wedging o= blocking up the bell. After pipe
is in place, 1~" of sand shall be placed above the pipe
_ prior to backfi]]ing with select material.
Sec. 07500
Bedding mote~ia] wi~] not be meosured o~ poid for os a
separate item. The cost thereof will be included in the
unit price bid per length of pipe.
In no case will extra compensation be allowed for
furnishing any bedding material required to complete the
- installation of pipe.
K. PROTECTION AND INSTALLATION
1. Care and precautions shall be taken to prevent the
introduction of foreign materials into the existing
system. Well fitted stoppers or bulkheads shall be
-- securely placed in all openings and in the end of the
line when construction is stopped temporarily and at
the end of each day's work. It shall be the responsi-
- bi]ity of the Contractor %o deliver to the Owner o
p~pe]ine which ~s cleon throughout its entire length.
_ ~. Be]] holes of ample size shall be cut under and
orour~d o1] )oints to provide adequate room for making
~oints and to assure that the barrel of the p~pe
rests uniformly and in continuous contact with the
- suppomting groumd for its entire length.
3. Water will not be permitted in the trenches while the
- pipe is being laid. The Contractor shall not open up
more trenches than the available pumping facilities
ore able to dewoter to the satisfaction of the
Engineer.
4. A tolerance of six 16] inches from the established
grade may be permitted, if approved by the Engineer,
- in order to prevent excessive breaks in alignment at
the )oints to such an extent that the ~oin%s cannot
be properly made.
5. Should conflict in grade occur with other utilities,
the Wg~__~D9 grade shall be changed to ~void the
conf']ict.
