irregularities in the Bids as received and to reject any and all Pro-
posals without qualification(s). More than one Proposal from an
individual, firm or partnership, corporation or association, under the
same or different names, will not be considered. Reasonable grounds

is interested. Proposals in which prices are obviously unbalanced may
be rejected.

the work of the various trades, and the ENGINEER shall pa~ upon them with reasonable prompt-
ness, 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 submL~ion, nor shall it relieve him
from responsibility for errors of any sort in shop drawings or schedules. It shaU be the CONTI-LAC-
TOR'S responsibility to fully and completely review all shop drawings to ascertain their effect on

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
said 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 WORI~ and
shall be paid for by the OW]NER; provided that, where inspection or approval is specific*fly
required by the specifications prior to performance of certain work, should the (~ONTRACTOR

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 clarified 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;" otherwL~, such additional work shall be paid

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 clas~es of work to be done and material
to be 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 propo~l= offered for the work.
It is understood and 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 difference~ which
may be found between the quantities of work actually done, the m~terial actually furnished
under this contract and the estimated quantities contemplated =nd contained in the proposal;
provided, 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 item~, 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 propor, al that
has a total cost equal to or greater than five (5) per cent of the totel contract cost, computed on the

option, may be relieved of the obligation to fu!ly 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

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-

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

provided under "Partial Payments" and "Final Payments," until fuil~' 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 A~'eement, the OWNER may, at any
time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions to the work; such cbsn.~es 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 ha,i, for any change in 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 c~e, 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 involve~ 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 of 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:
Method (A)--By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B)--By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C)--If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be agreed upon before
the Extra Work is commenced, then the CONTRACTOR shell
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 az 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 transportetion charges necessarily
incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, ~ all
nece~.sary incidental expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including
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 az 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 eecounts shsll 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, unlesz otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership
Expense adopted by th~ A.w, ociated General Contractors of America. Where practicshle 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 CONTItAC,-
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" az 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 CON'TR.AC-
TOR to involve Extra Work for which he should receive compeusation 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 s, to the payment therefor, and the ENGINEER in~i~ts 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, ss provided under Method
(C). The CONTI~ACTOR will thereby preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to
arbitration, as hereinbelow provided. ,~..~::
6.04 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS. It ~s further qraeaby both parties
questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the OON~tAC~fOR 'shall be ~~md

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 (10i 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 (101 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. AB~NDONMENTOFCONTRACT
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 OWNER,
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 6,
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 iu the final settlement.
Where there is no performance bond provided or in ~ase the 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, took, 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 th: ;Jew
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 be*n
the cost to complete under this contract, the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall be credited
therewith.
G-13 ~ ~ ,-. "*' ~ '"'
When the work shall have been substantially completed the CONTRACTOR and his Surety
shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, az provided in Paragraph 5.06
hereinshove, shall be iesued. A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to
by the ENGINEER az 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 f~teen (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 all 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, shal] be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety at the respective addresses
designated in this eontract, 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 OWNER 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 or private sale, with or without notice, as the OWNER may elect. The OWNER
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 case 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 by 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 stated in the 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 ag]'eed 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 can7 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 by the OWNER under the terms of this Afreement and shall certify r.~me to the OWNER
who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the notifi~tion;
by the CONTI',ACTOR the balance shown by said rmal statement. ~ du~ the CONTRAC3~')R,.i~

agree that the amount of damage which will be incurred by the Owner as
a result of any such delay is difficult to estimate, and that from the
viewpoint of the parties as of the date of the execution of this
Contract the amount of liquidated damages hereinafter specified is
reasonable. It is furthermore specifically agreed by the parties that
this provision for the payment of liquidated damages by the Contractor
on account of delay beyond the time specified, is a bona fide attempt
by the parties to estimate as well as they are able the amount of
damages which the Owner will actually incur as a result of any such
delay and that the requirements for payment of liquidated damages is
not intended as a penalty. The parties further agree that it is in the
best interest of both parties that the amount of liquidated damages be
specified herein rather than that the parties should be faced with the
problem of determining actual damages in the event of any such delay.
On the basis of the foregoing, the parties agree that for each day of
delay beyond the Specified Substantial Completion date agreed upon for
the work herein specified and contracted for (after due allowance for
such extension of time as is provided for in the General Conditions of
Agreement), the Contractor shall pay to the Owner as liquidated damages
the sum of $500.00, which sum may be permanently withheld by the Owner
from the Contractor's total compensation provided in this Contract.

Shoring, Sheeting and Bracing. Excavations shall be properly
shored, sheeted and braced as the nature of the ground may require
to prevent shifting of material with possible damage to existing or
uncompleted structures and attendant delay of work.
DEWATER[NG
Commencing sufficiently in advance of excavation, during the
excavation period and as long thereafter as the condition of the
work may require, provide and maintain in good operating condition
such equipment as may be required to prevent all water from entering
any excavation. This shall include, but is not limited to: surface
water which would drain into the excavation; seepage water which
would enter as a result of the excavation and high ground water
table; and the water which could penetrate the excavation due to the
anticipated piezometric head coupled with the removal of overburden,
should the Contractor not lower the water table in advance of the
excavation. Complete backfilling operations before dewatering
operations are suspended. Water removed from the excavation shall
be disposed of in such a manner as to prevent damage to adjacent
property or to other work under construction. Damage of whatever
nature caused by dewatering the work or failure to dewater the work
satisfactorily shall be promptly repaired or remedied by the
Contractor at his own expense. Provision shall be made for the
satisfactory disposal of water pumped from excavations so as to
prevent damage to public or private property. In all cases,
accumulated water'in the excavation shall be removed before placing
any concrete or backfilling.
After they have served their purpose, remove all temporary
protective work at a satisfactory time and in satisfactory manner.

EXCAVATED MATERIALS
Place excavated material adjacent to the work to be used for
backfilling as required. Place top soil separately in a careful
manner to replace over the finished grading areas.
~MBEDMENT OF PIPE
The embedment shall be as indicated on the Drawings. The initial
layer of embedment placed to receive the pipe shall be brought to
grade and dimensions indicated on the Drawings, and the pipe shall be
placed thereon and brought to grade by tamping, or by removal of the
slight excess amount of embedment under the pipe. Adjustment to
grade line shall be made by scraping away or filling with embedment
material. Wedging or blocking up of pipe will not be permitted.
Each pipe section shall have a uniform bearing on the embedment for
the length of the pipe, except immediately at the joint. All
embedment and/or encasement shall extend the full width of the trench
bottom.
After embedment has been placed, joints made and inspected, and
sufficient time has passed to prevent damage to the embedment or
joints, backfill shall be placed to a depth of 12 inches over the top
of the pipe or as shown on the Drawings.
Trenches shall be mechanically tamped in layers not exceeding 12
inches in thickness of loose fill approximately equal on each side of
the pipe. The first layer shall not extend above the spring line of
the pipe. When necessary, backfill materials shall be moistened to
facilitate compaction by tamping.
Where shown on the Plans, pipe shall be backfilled with Sand to a
height of 12 inches over the top of the pipe, or as shown on the
Drawings. Bring up backfill in mechanically tamped lifts not
exceeding six (6) inches in thickness, approximately equal on each
side of the pipe. All embedment and backfill to 12 inches above the
pipe shall be compacted as shown on the Drawings.
CONCRETE EMBEDMENT AND ENCASEMENT
After pipe joints are completed, embedments at the joints shall be
brought to proper grade to fill any voids. Where concrete is placed
over or along the pipe, it shall be placed in such a manner as not to
damage the joints or displace the pipe. Free-fall of concrete shall
not exceed five (5) feet.
While placing concrete embedment and until the concrete sets up, each
pipe shall be properly braced and held to grade so as to prevent any
possible shifting or floating of the pipe.
No cleavage line between the base concrete and the side or top

manner and at such time after concrete embedment or encasement has
been placed as not to damage the concrete in any way.
Backfill placed over concrete embedment, encasement, cradle, or block
shall not be placed until the concrete has set up to such an extent
that backfill operations will not damage the concrete.
FINAL BACKFILL PLACeMeNT
From 12 inches above the top of the pipe, or as shown on the
Drawings, the trench shall be backfilled with Native Material from
the excavation, unless otherwise shown on the Drawings, placed in
mechanically tamped lifts not exceeding six (6} inches in thickness.
No appreciable weight of any sort, other than backfill, shall be
allowed on the pipe until it has been covered to such a depth that
damage to the pipe or joints will not occur. The top six (6} inches
shall be free from rock.
Dispose of excavated material which is unsuitable for backfilling and
excess material in accordance with Section 02227. Surplus soil may
be neatly distributed and spread on the right-of-way which shall be
left in a clean and sightly condition. Remove surplus rock from the
trenching operations from the site. The Owner may require surplus
soil to be hauled to a designated waste area.
Method of Consolidation.
The final backfill material shall be compacted by mechanical
tampers, rollers or by other means to provide the compaction
required. All final backfill from 12 inches above the top of
pipe shall be compacted as shown on the Plans. Such material
shall be tested and approved by the Engineer before continuing.
The initial test section shall be a minimum of 100 lineal feet.
Material not meeting required Specification shall be removed and
replaced at no additional cost to the Owner.
Where construction enters the limits of State or County right-of-

A.
CONSTRUCTION SEOUENCE AND REMOVAL OF FORMS AND FALSEWORK
State Specifications, as referenced herein, shall govern with the
following requirements.
No backfill is to be placed behind or on top of any structure
prior to the structure attaining its specified 28-day
compressive strength.
Whenever the formwork is removed during the curing period, cure
the exposed concrete by one of the methods specified in SDHPT
Specifications, Item 420.21.
When tests are performed to determine flexural strength of the
concrete as the basis for removal of forms or shoring, or
support of forms or elements on previously placed portions of
the structure, it shall be done at the expense of the
Contractor. Specimens shall be field cured, under the same
conditions as the actual structure, in accordance with ASTM
C-31. Flexural tests shall be performed in accordance with
ASTM C-78. The average strength, based on a minimum of two
tests on two beam specimens, will be the basis for evaluation.
In lieu of flexural tests, the Contractor may use as the basis
for formwork or shoring removal, the concrete attaining its
required 28 day strength, prior to removal of forms or
falsework or support of forms or elements on previously placed
portions of the structure.
When 28 day compressive strengths are used as the basis for
formwork or shoring removal, the Contractor may either:
ao
At his own expense, have an independent laboratory, make
samples in accordance with ASTM C-3] and conduct
compressive strength tests in accordance with ASTM C-39.
The samples shall be field cured in accordance with ASTM
C-31. A minimum of two cylinders will be made for each
element to be evaluated or 100 C.Y. maximum. The average
strength of the two will be the basis for evaluation of
the 28 day strength.
bo
Utilize the compressive strength tests conducted by the
Owner, as specified herein, on laboratory cured samples.
03310-4
When formwork removal is based on the concrete reaching its
specified 28-day strength, the concrete shall be presumed to
have reached this strength when either of the following
conditions is met:
3.02
A.
3.03
When test cylinders, field cured under the most
unfavorable conditions prevailing for any portion of the
concrete represented, have reached the required strength.
Except for the field curing and age at test, the cylinders
shall be molded and tested as specified in ASTM C31.
When the concrete has been cured as specified in SDHPT
Specifications, Item 420.21, for the the same length of
time as the age at test of laboratory cured cylinders
which have reached the required strength. The length of
time the concrete has been cured in the field shall be
determined by the cumulative number of days or fractions
thereof, not necessarily consecutive, during which time
the temperature of the air in contact with the concrete is
above 50 degrees and the concrete has been damp or sealed
from evaporation and loss of moisture.
FINISHING OF FORMED SURFACE~
All structures shall receive a Grade I, Class B Finish in accordance
with SDHPT Item 427, ~Surface Finishes for Concrete,~ unless shown
otherwise on the plans. Areas shown to receive a stone, or other
type facing shall receive an ordinary surface finish.
TESTING
Testing services provided by Owner:
1. The designated testing agency will:
Test the Contractor's proposed materials for compliance
with the Specifications.
b Review and check the Contractor's proposed mix design.
c. Obtain production samples of materials at plants
stockpiles during the course of the work.
or
d. Conduct compressive strength tests of the concrete in
accordance with the following:
Secure composite samples in accordance with ASTM C 172.
Obtain each strength test from a different batch of
concrete on a representative, random basis, avoiding
selection of the test batch other than by a number
selected at random before commencement of concrete
placement. When pumping or pneumatic equipment is used,
take samples at the discharge end.
03310-5
Mild three specimens for each strength test in accordance
with ASTM C 31 and cure under standard moisture and
temperature conditions in accordance with ASTM.
go
Test one of the three specimens at seven days. Test two
specimens at 28 days. The 28-days test result shall be
the average of the strength of the two specimens. If one
specimen in the 28-day strength test manifests evidence of
improper sampling, molding or testing, discard and
consider the strength of the remaining specimen the test
result. If both specimens in a test show any of the above
effects, discard the entire test. When Type III cement is
used, the strength test shall be the average of two
specimens tested at seven days. Test other specimen at
two days if the Owner requests it. All tests shall be in
accordance with ASTM C 39.
Make one strength test for each 100 cubic yards, or
fraction thereof, of concrete in each monolithic
placement. In no case during the life of the project
shall a given mix design be represented by less then five
tests.
i. Determine air content of concrete on a regular and
frequent basis in accordance with ASTM C 231.
j. Report all test results to the Owner and the Contractor on
the same day that tests are made.
2. The testing agency will perform the following additional
services, as directed by the Owner.
Check batching and mixing operations to the extent deemed
necessary.
Review the manufacturer's report of each shipment of
cement and reinforcing steel or conduct laboratory test or
spot check of these materials as received.
c. Mold and test reserve 7-day or field cylinders as required
or perform additional services as authorized by the
Contractor at his expense.
Responsibilities and Duties of Contractor. The Contractor's duties
in connection with testing shall include but not be limited to:
1. Furnishing all materials needed for required testing.
2. Submitting to the Owner the concrete mix designs he proposes to
use and making written request for approval.
03310-6
3.04
A.
Furnishing labor as is necessary to assist the Owner in
obtaining and handling samples at the project or at other
sources of materials·
Advise the Owner in advance of construction operations to allow
for completion of quality tests and for the assignment of
personnel.
Furnish copies of certified test reports of all shipments of
cement and admixtures to the Owner.
EVALUATION OF CONCRETE STRENGTH
Evaluation of Test Results. The strength level of the concrete will
be considered satisfactory when the averages of all sets of three
consecutive strength test results equal or exceed the specified
strength and no individual strength test result falls below the
specified strength by more than 500 psi. For evaluation of
potential strength and uniformity, each type and specified strength
of concrete shall be represented by at least five tests.
Core Test
Impact hammers, sonoscopes, or other nondestructive testing
devices may be used to determine relative strengths of various
areas of the structure as an aid in determining location of
areas to be cored. Do not use such nondestructive test as a
basis for acceptance or rejection.
When required, obtain cores at least 2 inches in diameter and
test in accordance with ASTM C 42.
Take at least three representative cores from each member or
area of concrete in place that is considered potentially
deficient. The location of cores will be determined by the
Owner so as to least impair the strength of the structure.
Cores may not be taken from any part of the struture, if in the
opinion of the Owner it will impair the safety of the
structure. If, before testing, one or more of the cores show
evidence of having been damaged subsequent to or during removal
from the structure, additional cores may be required. If the
concrete in the structure will be dry under service conditions,
air dry the cores (temperature 60 to 80 F., relative humidity
less than 60 percent} for 7 days before test and test dry. If
the concrete in the structure will be more than superficially
wet under service conditions, test cores after moisture
conditioning in accordance with ASTM C 42.
Concrete in the area represented by a core test will be
considered adequate if the average strength of the cores is
equal to at least 85 percent of, and if no single core is less
than 75 percent of, the specified strength.
03310-7
3.05
A.
5. Plug cores holes soJid as specified for defective areas.
6. Cores containing reinforcing steel may be unacceptable and
additional cores may be required.
ACCEPTANCE OF CONCRETE WORK
Concrete Compressive Strength. Allow additional curing for concrete
which fails to meet the compressive strength requirements and modify
the concrete mix design for the remaining concrete work, at no
additional cost to the Owner.
Structural Tolerances:
Formed surfaces resulting in configuration of members smaller
than permitted under the tolerances allowed in ACI 347 will be
considered deficient in strength and shall be treated as
specified below.
Formed surfaces resulting in configuration of members larger
than permitted under the tolerances allowed in ACI 347 may be
rejected and the excess material removed. Remove excess
material in such a manner as to maintain the strength of the
section and to meet applicable requirements of function and
appearance.
o
Concrete members cast in the wrong location may be rejected if
the strength, appearance or function of the structure is
adversely affected or misplaced members interfere with other
construction. If rejected, remove members cast in the wrong
location and replace correctly.
Strength of Structure:
The strength of any structure in place will be considered
potentially deficient if it fails to comply with any
requirement which controls the strength of the structure. The
Contractor may make a structural analysis of any structure
considered potentially deficient by the Owner. If the analysis
indicates the completed structure will be suitable for its
intended use, it may be accepted, subject to the approval of
the Owner. In addition to the structural analysis, core tests
to check the concrete strength may be required and shall be
performed by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner.
If core tests are inconclusive or impractical to obtain and
structural analysis does not confirm the safety of the
structure, load tests may be required at no additional cost to
the Owner. The results shall be evaluated in accordance with
AASHTO 'Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges'.
03310-8
Reinforced concrete work judged inadequate by structural
analysis or by load test shall be reinforced with additional
construction or replaced at no additional cost to the Owner.
Additional construction shall be approved by the Owner prior to
the start of the work.
