Engineer with a revised schedule indicating when the Contractor expects to reach substantial and
physical completion of the work.
The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial Completion Date
and the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final inspection.
1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date
When the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final inspection, the
Contractor by written notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final inspection. The Engineer
will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then make a final inspection
and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars in which the final inspection
reveals the work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 19 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
measures as are necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective work shall be pursued
vigorously, diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies.
This process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been corrected.
If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the written
notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the Contractor, take whatever
steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to Section 1-05.7.
The Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in the
performance of the work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right hereunder.
Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contracting
Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the work was considered physically complete. That date
shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the contract, but shall not imply acceptance of the
work or that all the obligations of the Contractor under the contract have been fulfilled.
1-05.11(3) Operational Testing
It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a complete and
operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of machinery or other mechanical
equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal systems; irrigation systems; buildings; or
other similar work it may be desirable for the Engineer to have the Contractor operate and test the
work for a period of time after final inspection but prior to the physical completion date. Whenever
items of work are listed in the Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall be fully tested
under operating conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the
Physical Completion Date. During and following the test perio d, the Contractor shall correct any
items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first class
operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and equipment to be
tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so that the Engineer
may determine their suitability for the purpose for which they were installed. The Physical
Completion Date cannot be established until testing and corrections have been completed to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to successfully
complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices related to the system being
tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the proposal.
Operational and test periods, when required by the Engineer, shall not affect a manufacturer’s
guaranties or warranties furnished under the terms of the contract.

(June 27, 2011 APWA GSP)
The Washington State Department of Revenue has issued special rules on the State sales tax.
Sections 1-07.2(1) through 1-07.2(3) are meant to clarify those rules. The Contractor should contact
the Washington State Department of Revenue for answers to questions in this area. The Contracting
Agency will not adjust its payment if the Contractor bases a bid on a misunderstood tax liability.

amounts. In some cases, however, state retail sales tax will not be included. Section 1-07.2(2)
describes this exception.
The Contracting Agency will pay the retained percentage (or release the Contract Bond if a FHWA -
funded Project) only if the Contractor has obtained from the Washington State Department of

WAC 458-20-171, and its related rules, apply to building, repairing, or improving streets, roads, etc.,
which are owned by a municipal corporation, or political subdivision of the state, or by the United
States, and which are used primarily for foot or vehicular traffic. This includes storm or combined
sewer systems within and included as a part of the street or road drainage system and power lines
when such are part of the roadway lighting system. For work performed in such cases, the Contractor
shall include Washington State Retail Sales Taxes in the various unit bid item prices, or other contract
amounts, including those that the Contractor pays on the purchase of the materials, equipment, or
supplies used or consumed in doing the work.
1-07.2(2) State Sales Tax — Rule 170
WAC 458-20-170, and its related rules, apply to the constructing and repairing of new or existing
buildings, or other structures, upon real property. This includes, but is not limited to, the construction
of streets, roads, highways, etc., owned by the state of Washington; water mains and their
appurtenances; sanitary sewers and sewage disposal systems unless such sewers and disposal
systems are within, and a part of, a street or road drainage system; telephone, telegraph, electrical
power distribution lines, or other conduits or lines in or above streets or roads, unless such power
lines become a part of a street or road lighting system; and installing or attaching of any article of
tangible personal property in or to real property, whether or not such personal property becomes a
part of the realty by virtue of installation.
For work performed in such cases, the Contractor shall collect from the Contracting Agency, retail
sales tax on the full contract price. The Contracting Agency will automatically add this sales tax to
each payment to the Contractor. For this reason, the Contractor shall not include the retail sales tax
in the unit bid item prices, or in any other contract amount subject to Rule 170, with the following
exception.
Exception: The Contracting Agency will not add in sales tax for a payment the Contractor or a
subcontractor makes on the purchase or rental of tools, machinery, equipment, or consumable
supplies not integrated into the project. Such sales taxes shall be included in the unit bid item prices
or in any other contract amount.
1-07.2(3) Services

permission under franchises, licenses and bonds, and pay the fees, the costs incurred by the
Contracting Agency thereby shall be charged against the Contractor and deducted from any funds
otherwise due the Contractor.
The Contractor is cautioned to review all permits and other Contract Documents and schedule the
work activities appropriately to complete the work within the number of days stated in the Contract
Document. No additional compensation or extensions to time will be granted to the Contractor due
to the time constraints imposed by such documents. The Contractor shall assume all responsibility
for meeting all requirements of all permits.

Labor Hours shall be performed by Apprentices unless Good Faith Efforts are accepted . Apprentice
Utilization will be determined using the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) online Prevailing
Wage Intent & Affidavit (PWIA) system.
Definitions
For the purposes of this specification the following definitions apply:
1. Apprentice is a person enrolled in a State-approved Apprenticeship Training Program.
2. Apprentice Utilization is the apprentice labor hours, on the project, expressed as a
percentage of project Labor Hours based on certified payrolls or the affidavits of wages paid,
whichever is least. The percentage is not rounded up.
3. Apprentice Utilization Requirement is the minimum percentage of apprentice labor hours
required by the Contract.
4. Good Faith Effort(s) (GFE) describes the Contractor’s efforts to meet the Apprentice
Utilization Requirement including but not limited to the specific steps as described
elsewhere in this specification.
5. Labor Hours are the total hours performed by all workers receiving an hourly wage who are
subject to prevailing wage requirements for work performed on the Contract as defined by
RCW 39.04.310. Labor Hours are determined based on the scope of work performed by the
individuals, rather than the title of their occupations in accordance with WAC 296 -127.
6. State-approved Apprenticeship Training Program is an apprenticeship training program
approved by the Washington State Apprenticeship Council.
7. Apprentice Wage Rates are the applicable wage rates that are to be paid for an apprentice
registered in a training program, separate from Journey Level rates, as set by the Washington

instructions are available in the application.
Apprentice Utilization Plan
The Contractor shall submit an “Apprentice Utilization Plan” by filling out the Apprentice Utilization
Plan Form (WSDOT Form 424-004) within 30 calendar days of execution, however no later than the
preconstruction meeting, demonstrating how and when they intend to achieve the Apprentice
Utilization Requirement. The Plan shall be in sufficient detail for the Engineer to track the
Contractor’s progress in meeting the utilization requirements. An Apprentice Utilization Plan shall be
updated and resubmitted as the Work progresses or when requested by the Engineer.
If the Contractor is unable to demonstrate the ability to meet the Apprentice Utilization Requirement
with their initial Apprentice Utilization Plan submission, an effort must be made to find additional
registered apprentices to perform on the contract. If after attempts have been made at every tier and
every scope, the Contractor must submit GFE documentation to the Contracting Agency. The
Contractor shall actively seek out opportunities to meet the Apprentice Utilization Requirement
during the construction Work.

The Contractor may obtain information on State-approved Apprenticeship Training Programs by
using the Apprentice Registration and Tracking System (ARTS) https://secure.lni.wa.gov/arts-
public/#/program-search or contacting the Department of Labor and Industries directly at:
Specialty Compliance and Services Division, Apprenticeship Section, P.O. Box 44530, Olympia, WA
98504-4530 or by phone at (360) 902-5320.
Compliance
The Contractor is expected to make attempts to employ Apprentices and shall include the
requirement in any subcontracts at any tier. In the event that the Contractor is unable to achieve the
Apprentice Utilization Requirement, the Contractor shall submit GFE documentation demonstrating
the efforts and attempts they made. Final GFE documentation shall be submitted to the Contracting
Agency after Substantial Completion but no later than 30 days after Physical Completion.
If the Contractor fails to actively attempt to employ Apprentices, submit GFE documentation, or if
the Engineer does not approve the GFE, the Contractor will be assessed a penalty. The Engineer will
provide the Contractor with a written notice at Final Acceptance of the project informing the
Contractor of the failure to comply with this specification which will include a calculation of the
penalty to be assessed as provided for in the Payment section in this special provision.
If the Contractor achieves the required Apprentice Utilization an incentive will be assessed with Final
Payment.

approved Apprentice Training Programs, confirming there are no programs that train for the
scopes included/anticipated on the project. Contractor and state programs to submit
training program detail needs and details that could be used for future program creation.
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 29 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
5. Funding Precedent. Documentation that shows conflicting, more restrictive, or precedent
requirements for other training on the Project. Examples include, but are not limited to,
Tribal Employment Rights (TERO), Federal Training Hours, or Special Training that affect the
ability to use state-registered apprentices.
6. Warranty Work. Documentation from Original Equipment Manufacturers, or similar,
confirming that work performed must only be completed by certified journey -level
installers or risk voiding warranty, or similar.
7. Other Effort. The Contractor may submit other evidence, documentation, or rationale for
not being able to achieve the required Apprentice Utilization that are not covered in the
other efforts named. Other efforts will still need to be corroborated by an independent,
knowledgeable third-party.
Contractors may receive a GFE credit for graduated Apprentice hours through the end of the calendar
year for all projects worked on as long as the Apprentice remains continuously employed with the
same Contractor/subcontractor they were working for when th ey graduated. If an Apprentice
graduates during employment on a project of significant duration, they may be counted towards
a GFE credit for up to one year after their graduation or until the end of the project (whichever comes
first). Determination of whether Contract requirements were met in good faith will be made by
subtracting the hours from the journeyman total reported hours for the project and adding them to
the apprentice hour total. If the new utilization percentage meets the Contract requirement, the
Contractor will be reported as meeting the requirement in good faith.
Approving Good Faith Efforts
The Contracting Agency will review submitted Good Faith Efforts and issue a determination. The
Engineer may request additional information, documentation, evidence or similar in order to approve
such efforts. A determination by the Engineer is final. The approved Good Faith Efforts will be loaded
into the PWIA system by the Contracting Agency.
Payment
Payment will be made for the following Bid Items:
“Apprenticeship Incentive”, by calculation
An incentive of $2,000 will be assessed with the Final Payment for Contractors who meet the
Apprentice Utilization Requirement without a reduction by Good Faith Effort. For the purpose of
providing a common proposal for all bidders, the Contracting Agency has entered an amount in the
proposal to become a part of the total bid by the Contractor.
“Apprenticeship Penalty”, by calculation.
Apprenticeship Hours will be measured for each hour of work performed by an apprentice as shown
on the Monthly Apprentice Utilization Report, based on certified payrolls or the affidavits of wages
paid, whichever is least. The percentage is not rounded up. For the purpose of providing a common
proposal for all bidders, the Contracting Agency has entered an amount in the proposal to become a
part of the total bid by the Contractor.
When the Contractor fails to meet the Apprenticeship goal of 15%, a penalty will be assessed for
each hour that is not achieved, unless a Good Faith Effort is approved by the Contracting Agency.
Apprenticeship Utilization Penalty will be calculated as described below:

plan, for the Engineer’s review and approval.
An Ecology template is available to the Contractor for producing the SWPPP, using project- specific
information added by the Contractor. The template and instructions are available at:
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction.
The Engineer’s review and any resulting approval of the Contractor’s SWPPP and TESCP will be only
regarding conformance with the specification requirement that the Contractor have the plans
prepared by a CPESC or professional Civil Engineer who has expertise in the type of facilities and that
the SWPPP and TESCP include the items specified for such plans. The Contractor shall be solely
responsible for the adequacy of the SWPPP and TESCP and if erosion sediment, and other pollutant
control measures in deviation or addition to those described in the SWPPP become necessary to
minimize erosion and prevent storm water contamination from sediment and other pollutants, the
Contractor shall prepare and submit a revised SWPPPP to the Engineer for review as specified for the
original plan.
The Owner will not be liable to the Contractor for failure to accept all or any portion of an originally
submitted or revised SWPPP, nor for any delays to the Work due to the Contractor’s failure to submit
and implement an acceptable SWPPP.

prepared by and bear the seal and signature of a Professional Engineer licensed in the state
of Washington.
The WUPP shall comply with the Standard Specifications, as modified, or supplemented by
the Amendments to the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions.
The WUPP shall be reviewed and approved by the Engineer prior to any work in the vicinity of
the Water utility pipe(s). The Engineer’s review of the submitted material shall in no way
relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for making a satisfactory installation meeting the
requirements of these documents and the utility owner.
The Contractor is responsible for implementation of the approved WUPP. If deviations from
the WUPP are necessary because of field conditions, the contractor must submit a revised
submittal WUPP to the City for review. Excavation adjacent to water mains can not proceed
until the submittal is approved.
The Contractor shall do the following:
• Protect the existing water main, including valves, fittings, thrust blocks, coatings,
during the course of construction.
• Support the exposed water main to prevent any movement.
• Use care to avoid damaging the existing water main with mechanical construction
equipment. Chains and/or wire rope will not be allowed to support exposed water
mains. Use double straps to support both sides of an exposed joint. Provide a
compaction plan for backfill installed under exposed water lines and facilities. If
Controlled Density Fill (CDF) has been approved for use as backfill around water
mains, installation shall conform with the Project Plans and Standard Specifications,
as modified or supplemented by the Amendments to the Standard Specifications and
Special Provisions.
• If, during construction, the structural integrity of the water line is compromised, stop
construction and immediately notify the City Inspector to coordinate efforts to
mitigate and rectify the situation.
Requirements for Open Excavations
Open Excavations Parallel to City of Renton Water Mains
If the water main is located above the bottom of the construction excavation within the zone
of influence— 1.5H: 1V slope from the bottom of the construction excavation, or the water
main is within 5 feet of the excavation—the following shall apply:
• Excavation adjacent to transmission mains (all sizes), conduits, and distribution
mains ≥12 inches will require plans and associated structural and geotechnical
calculations prepared and stamped/sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the
state of Washington.
• Excavations adjacent to distribution mains <12 inches may require plans and
associated structural and geotechnical calculations prepared and stamped/sealed
by a Professional Engineer licensed in the state of Washington as determined by City.
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 38 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
• No more than 8 feet of parallel trench shall remain unsupported.
• Minimize duration of unsupported trench walls. No section shall be left unsupported
overnight or if groundwater is observed.
• Supported sections of trench shall have positive-pressure shoring or shielded shoring
backfilled between the trench wall and the shoring box. Positive-pressure shoring is
defined as a system providing support to the trench wall, such that no ground
movement adjacent to and within the excavated trench is possible. Positive-pressure
shoring can be achieved with hydraulic jacks or by ensuring zero clearance between
the shielded shoring and the trench wall.
• Positive-pressure shoring is required at all water main bends and tees, to prevent
undermining of the thrust-restraint systems. No amount of unsupported trench is
permitted at these locations.
Open Excavations Askew and Perpendicular to City of Renton Water Mains
For open excavations askew and perpendicular to City of Renton water main, if the
construction excavation is 5 feet or more below a >12-inch water main, or if the excavated
trench is 6 feet or wider, then the following shall apply:
• Show plans and associated structural and geotechnical calculations prepared and
stamped/sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the state of Washington for
any support beams, columns, steel plate foundation supports, blocking, and length
of beams on each side of trench and columns. Pipe supports shall be adjustable,
tensioned, and rated to the calculated loads.
• Provide the methods and means of excavation, backfill, and compaction to provide
continuous pipe support and prevent damage.
• Monitor > 12-inch-diameter water lines for settlement. Measure water main pipe
elevation directly prior to, during, and after excavation, and provide before and after
elevation measurements.
• Provide required support beam with straps spaced no more than 3 feet apart and/or
from the trench wall.
• If a joint is exposed, provide required support beam and double straps (one strap
placed on each side of the joint) in excavations > 6 feet wide. For excavations > 6 feet
wide, one strap shall be placed on each side of the joint with additional straps to b e
placed no further than 3 feet apart for support of the pipe spanning the excavation.
• City may require structural and geotechnical calculations of maximum anticipated
deflection and resulting stress in pipe, maximum anticipated deflection and resulting
stress in support beam, and assumed soil-bearing pressure.
Excavations Near Thrust Blocks
For excavations near City of Renton water main thrust blocks, if a thrust restraint system
supporting the existing water main is uncovered, and a WUPP has not been submitted, the
excavating contractor or agency must do the following:
1. Immediately stop excavation in the influence zone of the thrust block (an area 3 times
the length of the thrust block).
2. Notify the City Inspector.
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 39 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
3. Field-verify the thrust block dimension by exposing the top surface of the thrust
block.
4. Prepare and submit a WUPP for review by the City before proceeding with further
excavation.
Utility Adjustments and Conflicts
Existing utilities for telephone, power, gas, water, and television cable facilities shall be adjusted or
relocated by the appropriate utility company unless otherwise noted in the Plans. These adjustments
may be completed before the Contractor begins Work or may be performed in conjunction with the
Contract Work. The Contractor shall be entirely responsible for coordination with the utility
companies and arranging for the movement or adjustment, either temporary or permanent, of their
facilities within the project limits. See also Section 1-05.14 of these Special Provisions.
If or when utility conflicts occur, the Contractor shall continue the construction process on other
aspects of the project whenever possible. The Contractor shall include in the Base Bid all necessary
communication and meetings with the utility companies, and all necessary advance notification to
utility companies to keep the project on schedule and avoid delays. No additional compensation will
be made to the Contractor for reason of delay caused by the actions of any utility company, and the
Contractor shall consider such costs to be incidental to the other items of the Contract.
Utility Potholing
Potholing may be included as a bid item for use in determining the location of existing utilities in
advance of the Contractor's operations. If potholing is not included as a bid item, then it shall be
considered incidental to other Work. The Contractor shall submit all potholing requests to the
Engineer for approval, at least 2 working days before potholing is scheduled. Additionally, the
Contractor shall provide potholing at the Engineer's request.
In no way shall the Work described under Utility Potholing relieve the Contractor of any of the
responsibilities described in Section 1-07.17 of the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions,
and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
1-07.17(3) Site Specific Potholing
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-07.17(3) is a new section:
Site Specific Potholing is intended to be potholing as identified in the Plans or as directed by the
Engineer, which is separate from and in addition to potholing included as incidental for utility
installation. The Contractor shall perform exploratory excavations as required to collect as-built
information. The Contractor shall verify the depth, location, alignment, size, and material of existing
underground utilities. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer if field conditions differ
from the expected conditions shown in the Contract Drawings. The Contractor shall perform all
potholing identified on the plans prior to any construction to allow for any potential design
modifications. The Contractor is still responsible to verify depth, location , alignment, and size of all
existing utilities either specifically called for or not on the plans. For these utilities, the Contractor
shall allow the Engineer 10 working days after written results are received to allow for minor design
modifications when needed. The Contractor shall use the information obtained by potholing for
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 40 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
procurement of suitable materials to revise the work accordingly, where required by the Contract.
Upon completion of excavation the material can be used for temporary restoration.
Where underground utilities are found to be in the way of construction, such condition shall not be
deemed to be a changed or differing site condition, and if necessary, pipe alignment or grade shall
be modified. No payment will be made unless potholing has been performed prior to trench
excavation and witnessed by the Engineer. Different utilities may be found to occupy a common
trench. Any two or more utilities separated by 3 feet or less shall constitute one pothole. Where
multiple utilities exist in close proximity, the Contractor shall be paid for one pothole for every 5 feet
of exploration trench. The quantity for this item is included to provide a common proposal for bid
purposes. The actual quantity used in construction may vary from that amount. The unit price will
not be adjusted if the actual quantity used varies by more than 25 percent.
The contractor shall perform this potholing a minimum of twenty working days prior to crossing to
allow for potential revisions. The contractor shall not have cause for claim of down-time or any other
additional costs associated with ‘waiting’ if the owner provides design revisions (related to the
information supplied per this section) within ten working days after the contractor provides the
surveyed elevations.
In no way shall the Work described under Site Specific Potholing relieve the Contractor of any of the
responsibilities described in Section 1-07.17 of the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions,
and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
1-07.17(4) Interruption of Services
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-07.17(4) is a new section:
Whenever in the course of the construction operation it becomes necessary to cause an outage of
utilities, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the affected users and the Engineer not
less than 48 hours in advance of such outage. The Contractor shall make reasonable effort to
minimize the duration of outages and shall estimate the length of time service will be interrupted and
so notify the users. In the case of any utility outage that has exceeded or will exceed four hours, user
contact shall again be made. Temporary service, if needed, will be arranged by the Contractor at no
cost to the Owner.
Water service interruptions, shut-offs, and connections shall be in accordance with Section 7-09.
Overhead lighting outages shall not exceed 24 hours. All cost to the Contractor for providing
temporary overhead lighting to meet above requirements shall be incidental to the various unit and
Lump sum items of the Contract; no separate payment will be made.
In the event on an unplanned interruption of service, the Contractor shall be responsible for
notifying the utility owner and customer immediately. The Contractor shall be solely
responsible for repairing any broken utilities and/or services in a timely manner.

The Work shall be physically completed in its entirety within the time specified in the Contract
Documents or as extended by the Engineer. The Contract Time will be stated in “working days”, shall
begin on the Notice To Proceed date, or the date identified in the Notice to Proceed as “the first
working day”, and shall end on the Contract Completion date.
A non-working day is defined as a Saturday, a Sunday, a day on which the Contract specifically
suspends Work, or one of these holidays: January 1, third Monday of January, Memorial Day,
Juneteenth, July 4, Labor Day, November 11, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and
Christmas Day. The day before Christmas shall be a holiday when Christmas Day occurs on a
Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. The day after Christmas shall be a holiday when Christmas Day
occurs on a Monday or Thursday. When Christmas Day occurs on a Saturday, the two preceding

working days following shall be observed as holidays. When holidays other than Christmas fall on a
Saturday, the preceding Friday will be counted as a non-working day and when they fall on a Sunday
the following Monday will be counted as a non-working day. The Contract Time has been established
to allow for periods of normal inclement weather that, from historical records, is to be expected
during the Contract Time, and during which periods, Work is anticipated to be performed. Each
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 53 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
successive working day, beginning with the Notice to Proceed date and ending with the Physical
Completion date, shall be charged to the Contract Time as it occurs except a day, or part of a day,
which is designated a non-working day or an Engineer determined unworkable day.
The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a weekly report showing (1) the number of working days
charged against the Contract Time for the preceding week; (2) the Contract Time in working days; (3)
the number of working days remaining in the Contract Time; (4) the number of non-working days; and
(5) any partial or whole days the Engineer declared unworkable the previous week. This weekly report
will be correlated with the Contractor’s current approved progress schedule. If the Contractor elects
to work 10 hours a day and 4 days a week (a 4-10 schedule), and the fifth day of the week in which a
4-10 shift is worked would ordinarily be charged as a working day, then the fifth day of that week will
be charged as a working day whether or not the Contractor works on that day.
The Contractor will be allowed 10 calendar days from the date of each report in which to file a written
protest of an alleged discrepancy in the Contract Time as reported. Otherwise, the report will be
deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor as correct.
The requirements for scheduling the Final Inspection and establishing the Substantial Completion,
Physical Completion, and Completion Dates are specified in Sections 1-05.11 and 1-05.12.
Revise the sixth paragraph to read:

standards, and signal standards required for the physical completion of the Contract. Such purchase
orders shall disclose the estimated delivery dates for the equipment.
All items of Work that can be performed without delivery of the critical items shall start and be
completed as soon as possible. At that time, the Engineer may suspend the Work upon request of
the Contractor until the critical items are delivered to the Contractor, if the Contracting Agency
received a purchase order within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the Contracting
Agency.
The Contractor will be entitled to only one such suspension of time during the performance of the
Work and during such suspension shall not perform any additional Work on the project. Upon
delivery of the critical items, contract time will resume and continue to be charged in accordance
with Section 1-08.
1-08.9 Liquidated Damages
(March 3, 2021 APWA GSP)
Revise the second and third paragraphs to read:
Accordingly, the Contractor agrees:
1. To pay (according to the following formula) liquidated damages for each working day beyond
the number of working days established for Physical Completion, and
2. To Authorize the Engineer to deduct these liquidated damages from any money due or
coming due to the Contractor.
Liquidated Damages Formula
LD=0.15C/T
Where:
LD = liquidated damages per working day (rounded to the nearest dollar)
C = original Contract amount
T = original time for Physical Completion
When the Contract work has progressed to Substantial Completion as defined in the Contract, the
Engineer may determine the Contract Work is Substantially Complete. The Engineer will notify the
Contractor in writing of the Substantial Completion Date. For overruns in Contract time occurring
after the date so established, the formula for liquidated damages shown above will not apply. For
overruns in Contract time occurring after the Substantial Completion Date, liquidated damages shall
be assessed on the basis of direct engineering and related costs assignable to the project until the
actual Physical Completion Date of all the Contract Work. The Contractor shall complete the
remaining Work as promptly as possible. Upon request completing the physical Work on t he

site from the time the Contractor's operations have commenced until final acceptance of the Work
by the Engineer and the Owner. The Contractor shall employ such measures as additional fencing,
barricades, and watchmen service, as he deems necessary for the public safety and for the
protection of the site and his plant and equipment. The Owner will be provided keys for all fenced,
secured areas.
1-08.12 Attention to Work
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)

1-09.3 Scope of Payment
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.3 is supplemented by adding the following:
The bid items listed in Section 1-09.14 will be the only items for which compensation will be made
for the Work described in each section of the Standard Specifications when the Contractor performs
the specified Work. Should a bid item be listed in a “Payment” clause but not in the Proposal Form,
and Work for that item is performed by the Contractor and the Work is not stated as included in or
incidental to a pay item in the Contract and is not Work that would be required to complete the intent
of the Contract per Section 1-04.1, then payment for that Work will be made as for Extra Work
pursuant to a Change Order.
The words “Bid Item,” “Contract Item,” and “Pay Item,” and similar terms used throughout the
Contract Documents are synonymous.
If the “payment” clause in the Specifications relating to any unit bid item price in the Proposal Form
requires that said unit bid item price cover and be considered compensation for certain Work or
material essential to the item, then the Work or material will not be measured or paid for under any
other unit bid item which may appear elsewhere in the Proposal Form or Specifications.
Pluralized unit bid items appearing in these Specifications are changed to singular form.
Payment for bid items listed or referenced in the “Payment” clause of any particular section of the
Specifications shall be considered as including all of the Work required, specified, or described in
that particular section. Payment items will generally be listed generically in the Specifications, and
specifically in the bid form. When items are to be “furnished” under one payment item and “installed”
under another payment item, such items shall be furnished FOB project site, or, if specified in the
Special Provisions, delivered to a designated site. Materials to be “furnished,” or “furnished and
installed” under these conditions, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor with regard to storage
until such items are incorporated into the Work or, if such items are not to be incorporated into the
Work, delivered to the applicable Contracting Agency storage site when provided for in the
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 58 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
Specifications. Payment for material “furnished,” but not yet incorporated into the Work, may be
made on monthly estimates to the extent allowed.
1-09.6 Force Account
(December 30, 2022 APWA GSP)
Supplement this section with the following:
The Contracting Agency has estimated and included in the Proposal, dollar amounts for all items to
be paid per force account, only to provide a common proposal for Bidders. All such dollar amounts
are to become a part of Contractor's total bid. However, the Contracting Agency does not warrant
expressly or by implication, that the actual amount of work will correspond with those estimates.
Payment will be made on the basis of the amount of work actually authorized by the Engineer.
1-09.7 Mobilization
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.7 is supplemented as follows:
Mobilization shall also include, but not be limited to, the following items: the movement of

of an office, buildings, and other facilities necessary for Work on the project; providing sanitary
facilities for the Contractor's personnel; and obtaining permits or licenses required to complete the
project not furnished by the Owner.
Payment will be made for the following bid item(s):
“Mobilization & Demobilization,” Lump Sum.
1-09.9 Payments
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Delete the fourth paragraph and replace it with the following:
Progress payments for completed Work and material on hand will be based upon progress estimates
prepared by the Engineer. A progress estimate cutoff date will be established at the preconstruction
meeting.
The initial progress estimate will be made not later than 30 days after the Contractor commences the
Work, and successive progress estimates will be made every month thereafter until the Completion
Date. Progress estimates made during progress of the Work are tentative and made only for the
purpose of determining progress payment. The progress estimates are subject to change at any time
prior to the calculation of the final payment.
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 59 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
The value of the progress estimate will be the sum of the following:
1. Unit Price Items in the Bid Form – the approximate quantity of acceptable units of Work
completed multiplied by the unit price.
2. Lump Sum Items in the Bid Form – the estimated percentage complete multiplied by the Bid
Forms amount for each lump sum item, or per the schedule of values for that item.
3. Materials on Hand – 100 percent of invoiced cost of material delivered to job site or other
storage area approved by the Engineer.
4. Change Orders – entitlement for approved extra cost or completed extra Work as determined
by the Engineer.
Progress payments will be made in accordance with the progress estimate less:
1. Retainage per Section 1-09.9(1);
2. The amount of Progress Payments previously made; and
3. Funds withheld by the Contracting Agency for disbursement in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
Progress payments for Work performed shall not be evidence of acceptable performance or an
admission by the Contracting Agency that any Work has been satisfactorily completed.
Payments will be made by check or electronic transfer, issued by the Contracting Agency’s fiscal
officer, against the appropriate fund source for the project. Payments received on account of Work
performed by a subcontractor are subject to the provisions of RCW 39.04.250.
Section 1-09.9 is supplemented as follows:
Applications for payment shall be itemized and supported to the extent required by the Engineer by
receipts or other vouchers showing payment for materials and labor, payments to subcontractors,
and other such evidence of the Contractor's right to payment as the Engineer may direct, including
“red line” as-built drawings showing work installed by the contractor during the progress payment
period.
The Contractor shall submit a progress report with each monthly request for a progress payment. The
progress report shall indicate the estimated percent complete for each activity listed on the progress
schedule (see Section 1-08.3) and a revised and updated schedule to reflect the most current project
completion date.
1-09.9(1) Retainage
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.9(1) is supplemented as follows:
The retained amount shall be released as stated in the Standard Specifications if no claims have
been filed against such funds as provided by law, and if the Owner has no unsatisfied claims against
the Contractor. In the event claims are filed, the Owner shall withhold, until such claims are satisfied,
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 60 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
a sum sufficient to satisfy all claims and to pay attorney's fees. In addition, the Owner shall withhold
such amount as is required to satisfy any claims by the Owner against the Contractor, until such
claims have been finally settled.
Neither the final payment nor any part of the retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor, if requested, delivers to the Owner a complete release of all liens arising out of this
Contract, or receipts in full in lieu thereof, and, if required in either case, an affidavit that so far as the
Contractor has knowledge or information, the release and receipts include all labor and materials
for which a lien could be filed: but the Contractor may, if any subcontractor refuses to furnish a
release or receipt in full, furnish a bond satisfactorily to the Engineer to indemnify the Owner against
the lien. If any lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor shall reimburse
to the Owner all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including
all costs and reasonable engineer's and attorney's fees.
1-09.9(2) Contracting Agency’s Right to Withhold and Disburse Certain Amounts
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.9(2) is a new section:
In addition to monies retained pursuant to RCW 60.28 and subject to RCW 39.04.250, RCW 39.12
and RCW 39.76, the Contractor authorizes the Engineer to withhold progress payments due or
deduct an amount from any payment or payments due the Contractor which, in the Engineer’s
opinion, may be necessary to cover the Contracting Agency’s costs for or to remedy the following
situations:
1. Damage to another contractor when there is evidence thereof and a claim has been filed.
2. Where the Contractor has not paid fees or charges to public authorities of municipalities,
which the Contractor is obligated to pay.
3. Utilizing material tested and inspected by the Engineer, for purposes not connected with the
Work (Section 1-05.6).
4. Landscape damage assessments per Section 1-07.16.
5. For overtime Work performed by City personnel per Section 1-08.0(3).
6. Anticipated or actual failure of the Contractor to complete the Work on time:
a. Per Section 1-08.9 Liquidated Damages; or
b. Lack of construction progress based upon the Engineer’s review of the Contractor’s
approved progress schedule, which indicates the Work will not be complete within the
contract time. When calculating an anticipated time overrun, the Engineer will make
allowances for weather delays, approved unavoidable delays, and suspensions of the
Work. The amount withheld under this subparagraph will be based upon the liquidated
damages amount per day set forth in Contract Documents multiplied by the number of
days the Contractor’s approved progress schedule, in the opinion of the Engineer,
indicates the Contract may exceed the Contract Time.
7. Failure of the Contractor to perform any of the Contractor’s other obligations under the
Contract, including but not limited to:
a. Failure of the Contractor to provide the Engineer with a field office when required by the
Contract Provisions.
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2

by Section 1-07.10.
g. Failure of the Contractor to submit and obtain approval of a progress schedule per
Section 1-08.3.
The Contractor authorizes the Engineer to act as agent for the Contractor disbursing such funds as
have been withheld pursuant to this Section to a party or parties who are entitled to payment.
Disbursement of such funds, if the Engineer elects to do so will be made only after giving the
Contractor 15 calendar days prior written notice of the Contracting Agency’s intent to do so, and if
prior to the expiration of the 15-calendar day period:
1. No legal action has commenced to resolve the validity of the claims, and
2. The Contractor has not protested such disbursement.
A proper accounting of all funds disbursed on behalf of the Contractor in accordance with this
Section will be made. A payment made pursuant to this section shall be considered as payment
made under the terms and conditions of the Contract. The Contracting Agency shall not be liable to
the Contractor for such payment made in good faith.
1-09.9(3) Final Payment
(Mar 21, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.9(2) is a new section:
Upon Acceptance of the Work by the Contracting Agency, the final amount to be paid the Contactor
will be calculated based upon a Final Progress Estimate made by the Engineer. Acceptance by the
Contractor of the final payment shall be and shall operate as a release:
1. To the Contracting Agency of all claims and all liabilities of the Contractor, other than claims
in stated amounts as may be specifically accepted in writing by the Contractor;
2. For all things done or furnished in connection with the Work;
3. For every act and neglect by the Contracting Agency; and
4. For all other claims and liability relating to or arising out of the Work.
A payment (monthly, final, retainage, or otherwise) shall not release the Contractor or the
Contractor’s Surety from any obligation required under the terms of the Contract Documents or the
Contract Bond; nor shall such payment constitute a waiver of the C ontracting Agency’s ability to
investigate and act upon findings of non-compliance with the WMBE requirements of the Contract;
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 62 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
nor shall such payment preclude the Contracting Agency from recovering damages, setting
penalties, or obtaining such other remedies as may be permitted by law.
Before the Work will be accepted by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall submit an affidavit,
on the form provided by the Engineer, of amounts paid to certified disadvantaged (DB), minority (MBE)
or women business enterprises (WBE) participating in the Work. Such affidavit shall certify the
amounts paid to the DB, MBE or WBE subcontractors regardless of tier.
On federally funded projects the Contractor may also be required to execute and furnish the
Contracting Agency an affidavit certifying that the Contractor has not extended any loans, gratuity or
gift and money pursuant to Section 1-07.19 of these Specifications.
If the Contractor fails, refuses, or is unable to sign and return the Final Progress Estimate or any other
documents required for the final acceptance of the Contract, the Contracting Agency reserves the
right to establish a completion date and unilaterally accept the Contract. Unilateral acceptance will
occur only after the Contractor has been provided the opportunity, by written request from the
Engineer, to voluntarily submit such documents. If voluntary compliance is not achieved, formal
notification of the impending unilateral acceptance will be provided by certified letter from the
Engineer to the Contractor that will provide 30 calendar days for the Contractor to submit the
necessary documents. The 30-calendar day deadline shall begin on the date of the postmark of
the certified letter from the Engineer requesting the necessary documents. This reservation by
the Contracting Agency to unilaterally accept the Contract will apply to contracts that are completed
in accordance with Section 1-08.5 for contracts that are terminated in accordance with
Section 1-08.10. Unilateral acceptance of the Contract by the Contracting Agency does not in any
way relieve the Contractor of the provisions under contract or of the responsibility to comply with all
laws, ordinances, and federal, state, and local regulations that affect the Contract. The date the
Contracting Agency unilaterally signs the Final Progress Estimate constitutes the final acceptance
date (Section 1-05.12).

with Section 1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The nonstatistical tolerance limits will be used
in the calculation of the CPF and the maximum CPF shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist,
backup samples of the existing sublots or samples from the Roadway shall be tested to provide a
minimum of three sets of results for evaluation.
5-04.3(9)C5 Vacant
5-04.3(9)C6 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Price Adjustments
For each lot of HMA mix produced under Nonstatistical Evaluation when the calculated CPF is less
than 1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined. The NCMF equals the algebraic
difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The total job mix compliance price
adjustment will be calculated as the product of the NCMF, the quantity of HMA in the lot in tons, and
the unit Contract price per ton of mix.
If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay factor will
be considered 1.00 in calculating the CPF.
5-04.3(9)C7 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation - Retests
The Contractor may request a sublot be retested. To request a retest, the Contractor shall submit a
written request within 7 calendar days after the specific test results have been received. A split of the
original acceptance sample will be retested. The split of the sample will not be tested with the same
tester that ran the original acceptance test. The sample will be tested for a complete gradation
analysis, asphalt binder content, and, at the option of the agency, Va. The results of the retest will be
used for the acceptance of the HMA in place of the original sublot sample test results. The cost of
testing will be deducted from any monies due or that may come due the Contractor under the
Contract at the rate of $500 per sample.
5-04.3 (9)D Mixture Acceptance – Commercial Evaluation
If sampled and tested, HMA produced under Commercial Evaluation and having all constituents
falling within the tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the unit Contract price
with no further evaluation. When one or more constituents fa ll outside the commercial tolerance

Special Provisions - 120 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
limits in the Job Mix Formula shown in 5-04.3(9), the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with Section
1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The commercial tolerance limits will be used in the
calculation of the CPF and the maximum CPF shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist,
backup samples of the existing sublots or samples from the street shall be tested to provide a
minimum of three sets of results for evaluation.
For each lot of HMA mix produced and tested under Commercial Evaluation when the calculated
CPF is less than 1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined. The NCMF equals the
algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The Job Mix Compliance Price
Adjustment will be calculated as the product of the NCMF, the quantity of HMA in the lot in tons, and
the unit Contract price per ton of mix.
If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay factor will
be considered 1.00 in calculating the CPF.
5-04.3(10) HMA Compaction Acceptance
HMA mixture accepted by nonstatistical evaluation that is used in traffic lanes, including lanes for
intersections, ramps, truck climbing, weaving, and speed change, and having a specified compacted
course thickness greater than 0.10-foot, shall be compacted to a specified level of relative density.
The specified level of relative density shall be a CPF of not less than 0.75 when evaluated in
accordance with Section 1-06.2, using a LSL of 92.0 (minimum of 92 percent of the maximum
density). The maximum density shall be determined by WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 729. The specified
level of density attained will be determined by the evaluation of the density of the pavement. The
density of the pavement shall be determined in accordance with WSDOT FOP for WAQTC TM 8,
except that gauge correlation will be at the discretion of the Engineer, when using the nuclear density
gauge and WSDOT SOP 736 when using cores to determine density.
Tests for the determination of the pavement density will be taken in accordance with the required
procedures for measurement by a nuclear density gauge or Roadway cores after completion of the
finish rolling.
If the Contracting Agency uses a nuclear density gauge to determine density the test procedures FOP
for WAQTC TM 8 and WSDOT SOP T 729 will be used on the day the mix is placed and prior to opening
to traffic.
Roadway cores for density may be obtained by either the Contracting Agency or the Contractor in
accordance with WSDOT SOP 734. The core diameter shall be 4-inches minimum, unless otherwise
approved by the Engineer. Roadway cores will be tested by the Contracting Agency in accordance
with WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 166.
If the Contract includes the Bid item “Roadway Core”, the cores shall be obtained by the Contractor
in the presence of the Engineer on the same day the mix is placed and at locations designated by the
Engineer. If the Contract does not include the Bid item “Roadway Core”, the Contracting Agency will
obtain the cores.
For a lot in progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after
the Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 121 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions other than
those listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the compaction train.
The test point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions from the Engineer. The
number of passes with an approved compaction train, required to attain the maximum test point
density, shall be used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used for preleveling wheel rutting
shall be compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
Test Results
For a sublot that has been tested with a nuclear density gauge that did not meet the minimum of
92 percent of the reference maximum density in a compaction lot with a CPF below 1.00 and thus
subject to a price reduction or rejection, the Contractor may request that a core be used for
determination of the relative density of the sublot. The relative density of the core will replace the
relative density determined by the nuclear density gauge for the sublot and will be used for
calculation of the CPF and acceptance of HMA compaction lot.
When cores are taken by the Contracting Agency at the request of the Contractor, they shall be
requested by noon of the next workday after the test results for the sublot have been provided or
made available to the Contractor. Core locations shall be outside of wheel paths and as determined
by the Engineer. Traffic control shall be provided by the Contractor as requested by the Engineer.
Failure by the Contractor to provide the requested traffic control will result in forfeiture of the request
for cores. When the CPF for the lot based on the results of the HMA cores is less than 1.00, the cost
for the coring will be deducted from any monies due or that may become due the Contractor under
the Contract at the rate of $200 per core and the Contractor shall pay for the cost of the traffic control.
5-04.3(10)A HMA Compaction – General Compaction Requirements
Compaction shall take place when the mixture is in the proper condition so that no undue
displacement, cracking, or shoving occurs. Areas inaccessible to large compaction equipment shall
be compacted by other mechanical means. Any HMA that becomes loose, b roken, contaminated,
shows an excess or deficiency of asphalt, or is in any way defective, shall be removed and replaced
with new hot mix that shall be immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area.
The type of rollers to be used and their relative position in the compaction sequence shall generally
be the Contractor’s option, provided the specified densities are attained. Unless the Engineer has
approved otherwise, rollers shall only be operated in the static mode when the internal temperature
of the mix is less than 175°F. Regardless of mix temperature, a roller shall not be operated in a mode
that results in checking or cracking of the mat. Rollers shall only be operated in static mode on bridge
decks.
5-04.3(10)B HMA Compaction – Cyclic Density
Low cyclic density areas are defined as spots or streaks in the pavement that are less than 90 percent
of the theoretical maximum density. At the Engineer’s discretion, the Engineer may evaluate the HMA
pavement for low cyclic density, and when doing so will follow WSDOT SOP 733. A $500 Cyclic
Density Price Adjustment will be assessed for any 500-foot section with two or more density readings
below 90 percent of the theoretical maximum density.

5-04.3(10)D HMA Nonstatistical Compaction
5-04.3(10)D1 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Lots and Sublots
HMA compaction which is accepted by nonstatistical evaluation will be based on acceptance testing
performed by the Contracting Agency dividing the project into compaction lots.
A lot is represented by randomly selected samples of the same mix design that will be tested for
acceptance. A lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each Job Mix
Formula placed. Only one lot per JMF is expected. A sublot shall be equal to one day’s production or
400 tons, whichever is less except that the final sublot will be a minimum of 200 tons and may be
increased to 800 tons. Testing for compaction will be at the rate of 5 tests per sublot per
WSDOT T 738.
The sublot locations within each density lot will be determined by the Engineer. For a lot in progress
with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after the Engineer is
satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions other than
those listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the compaction train.
The test point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions from the Engineer. The
number of passes with an approved compaction train, required to attain the maximum test point
density, shall be used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used to prelevel wheel ruts shall be
compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
5-04.3(10)D2 HMA Compaction Nonstatistical Evaluation – Acceptance Testing
The location of the HMA compaction acceptance tests will be randomly selected by the Engineer
from within each sublot, with one test per sublot.
5-04.3(10)D3 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Price Adjustments
For each compaction lot with one or two sublots, having all sublots attain a relative density that is
92 percent of the reference maximum density the HMA shall be accepted at the unit Contract price
with no further evaluation. When a sublot does not attain a relative density that is 92 percent of the
reference maximum density, the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to
determine the appropriate CPF. The maximum CPF shall be 1.00, however, lots with a calculated CPF
in excess of 1.00 will be used to offset lots with CPF values below 1.00 but greater than 0.90. Lots
with CPF lower than 0.90 will be evaluated for compliance per 5-04.3(11). Additional testing by either
a nuclear moisture-density gauge or cores will be completed as required to provide a minimum of
three tests for evaluation.
For compaction below the required 92%, a Non-Conforming Compaction Factor (NCCF) will be
determined. The NCCF equals the algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 40 percent.
The Compaction Price Adjustment will be calculated as the product of CPF, the quantity of HMA in
the compaction control lot in tons, and the unit Contract price per ton of mix.

5-04.3(11)A Reject Work General
Work that is defective or does not conform to Contract requirements shall be rejected. The
Contractor may propose, in writing, alternatives to removal and replacement of rejected material.
Acceptability of such alternative proposals will be determined at the sole discretion of the Engineer.
HMA that has been rejected is subject to the requirements in Section 1-06.2(2) and this specification,
and the Contractor shall submit a corrective action proposal to the Engineer for approval.
5-04.3(11)B Rejection by Contractor
The Contractor may, prior to sampling, elect to remove any defective material and replace it with new
material. Any such new material will be sampled, tested, and evaluated for acceptance.
5-04.3(11)C Rejection Without Testing (Mixture or Compaction)
The Engineer may, without sampling, reject any batch, load, or section of Roadway that appears
defective. Material rejected before placement shall not be incorporated into the pavement. Any
rejected section of Roadway shall be removed.
No payment will be made for the rejected materials or the removal of the materials unless the
Contractor requests that the rejected material be tested. If the Contractor elects to have the rejected
material tested, a minimum of three representative samples will be obtained and tested. Acceptance
of rejected material will be based on conformance with the nonstatistical acceptance Specification.
If the CPF for the rejected material is less than 0.75, no payment will be made for the rejected
material; in addition, the cost of sampling and testing shall be borne by the Contractor. If the CPF is
greater than or equal to 0.75, the cost of sampling and testing will be borne by the Contracting
Agency. If the material is rejected before placement and the CPF is great er than or equal to 0.75,
compensation for the rejected material will be at a CPF of 0.75. If rejection occurs after placement
and the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, compensation for the rejected material will be at the
calculated CPF with an addition of 25 percent of the unit Contract price added for the cost of removal
and disposal.
5-04.3(11)D Rejection – A Partial Sublot
In addition to the random acceptance sampling and testing, the Engineer may also isolate from a
normal sublot any material that is suspected of being defective in relative density, gradation or
asphalt binder content. Such isolated material will not include an original sample location. A
minimum of three random samples of the suspect material will be obtained and tested. The material
will then be statistically evaluated as an independent lot in accordance with Section 1-06.2(2).
5-04.3(11)E Rejection – An Entire Sublot
An entire sublot that is suspected of being defective may be rejected. When a sublot is rejected a
minimum of two additional random samples from this sublot will be obtained. These additional
samples and the original sublot will be evaluated as an independent lot in accordance with
Section 1-06.2(2).

When deviations in excess of the above tolerances are found that result from a high place in the HMA,
the pavement surface shall be corrected by one of the following methods:
1. Removal of material from high places by grinding with an approved grinding machine, or
2. Removal and replacement of the wearing course of HMA, or
3. By other method approved by the Engineer.
Correction of defects shall be carried out until there are no deviations anywhere greater than the
allowable tolerances.
Deviations in excess of the above tolerances that result from a low place in the HMA and deviations
resulting from a high place where corrective action, in the opinion of the Engineer, will not produce
satisfactory results will be accepted with a price adjustment. The Engineer shall deduct from monies
due or that may become due to the Contractor the sum of $500.00 for each and every section of
single traffic lane 100 feet in length in which any excessive deviations described above are found.
When utility appurtenances such as manhole covers and valve boxes are located in the traveled way,

of Class B asphalt, per City of Renton Standards.
Lane-width or a full street-width overlay will be determined by the Engineer based upon the location
and length of the proposed trench within the roadway cross-section. Changes in field conditions may
warrant modification overlay requirements by the Engineer.
1. Trenches (Road Crossings):
a. The minimum width of a transverse patch (road crossing) shall be six and one -half feet
(6.5’). See City of Renton Standard Plan 110.
b. Any affected lane will be ground down two inches (2”) and paved for the entire width of
the lane.
c. Patch shall be a minimum of one foot (1’) beyond the excavation and patch length shall
be a minimum of an entire traveled lane.
d. Patch depth shall match the existing thickness or at minimum 8-inches where the existing
pavement section is composed partially or wholly of concrete and shall be 8” where the
existing pavement section is not composed of any concrete.
e. If the outside of the trenching is within three feet (3’) of any adjacent lane line, the entire
adjacent traveled lane affected will be repaved
f. An area including the trench and one foot (1’) on each side of the trench but not less than
six and one half feet (6.5’) total for the entire width of the affected traveled lanes will be
ground down to a depth of two inches (2”). A two -inch (2”) overlay of Class B asphalt will
be applied per City standards.
2. Trenches Running Parallel with the Street:
a. The minimum width of a longitudinal patch shall be four and one-half feet (4.5’). See City
of Renton Standard Plan Drawing 110.1.
b. Patch depth shall match the existing thickness or at minimum 8-inches where the existing

requirements utilizing vactor equipment will be determined by the engineer.
The contractor in all cases can remove the pavement in the replacement area instead of grinding out
the specified two inches (2”) of asphalt. Full pavement replacement to meet or exceed the existing
pavement depth will be required for the area of pavement removal.
The Engineer may determine in the field that a full street-width (edge-of-pavement to edge-of-
pavement) overlay is required due to changes in the permit conditions such as, but not limited to the
following:
1. There has been damage to the existing asphalt surface due to the contractor's equipment.
2. The trench width was increased significantly, or the existing pavement is undermined or
damaged.
3. Any other construction related activities that require additional pavement restoration.

shimmed to an extent that provides a smooth-riding connection and expeditious drainage flow for
the newly paved surface.
Feathering and shimming shall not decrease the minimum vertical curb depth below four inches (4")
for storm water flow. The Engineer may require additional grinding to increase the curb depth
available for storm water flow in areas that are inadequate. Shimming and feathering, as required by
the Engineer, shall be accomplished by raking out the oversized aggregates from the Class B mix as
appropriate.
Surface smoothness shall be per Section 5-04.3(13) of the Standard Specifications. The paving shall
be corrected by removal and repaving of the trench only. Asphalt patch depths will vary based upon
the streets being trenched.
The final patch or overlay shall be completed as soon as possible and shall not exceed fifteen (15)
working days after first opening the trench. This time frame may be adjusted if delays are due to
inclement paving weather or other adverse conditions that may exist. However, delaying of final
patch or overlay work is subject to the Engineer's approval. The Engineer may deem it necessary to
complete the work within the fifteen (15) working day time frame and not allow any time extension.
Should this occur, the Contractor shall perform the necessary work, as directed by the Engineer.

The pipeline shall be backfilled sufficiently to prevent movement of the pipe under pressure. Thrust
blocks shall be in place and time allowed for the concrete to cure before testing. Where permanent
blocking is not required, the Contractor shall furnish and install temporary blocking and remove it
after testing.
Before applying the specified test pressure, the water main shall be slowly filled and air shall be
expelled completely from the pipe, valves and hydrants. If permanent air vents are not located at all
high points, the contractor shall install corporation cocks at such points so that the air can be
expelled as the line is filled with water. After all the air has been expelled, the corporation cocks shall
be closed and the test pressure applied. At the conclusion of the pressure test, the corporation cocks
shall be removed and plugged.
The Contractor shall perform a leakage test concurrently with the pressure test. The pressure test
shall be conducted for a 2-hour period.
The test shall be accomplished by pumping the main up to the required pressure, stopping the pump
for 2 hours, and then pumping the main up to the test pressure again. During the test, the section
being tested shall be observed to detect any visible leakage.
A clean container shall be used for holding water for pumping up pressure on the main being tested.
This makeup water shall be sterilized by the addition of chlorine to a concentration of 50 mg/l.
The acceptability of the pressure test and leakage test will be determined by two factors as follows:
1. The loss in pressure shall not exceed 5 psi during the 2-hour test period.
2. The quantity of water lost from the main and appurtenances shall not exceed the number of
gallons during the 2-hour test period as listed in the following table.

266,400
where:
L = Allowable leakage in gallons/hour
S = Gross length of pipe tested, feet
D = Nominal diameter of the pipe in inches
P = Test pressure during the leakage test in psi
The quantity of water required to restore the pressure shall be accurately determined by either
1) pumping from an open container of suitable size such that accurate volume measurements can
be made by the Engineer or, 2) by pumping through a positive displacement water meter with a sweep
unit hand registering one (1) gallon per revolution. The meter shall be approved by the Engineer.
Pressure gauges used in the test shall be accompanied with certifications of accuracy from a testing
Laboratory approved by the Engineer.
Any visible leakage detected shall be corrected by the Contractor regardless of the allowable leakage
specified above. Should the tested section fail to meet the pressure test successfully as specified,
the Contractor shall, at no additional expense to the Contracting Agency, locate and repair the
defects and then retest the pipeline. The use of leak detection dye or other substances to detect any
visible leakage is strictly prohibited.
All tests shall be made with the hydrant auxiliary gate valves open and pressure against the hydrant
inlet valve. After the test is completed, each valve shall be tested by closing each in turn and relieving
the pressure beyond. This test of the valve will be acceptable if there is no immediate loss of pressure
on the gauge when the pressure comes against the valve being checked. The Contractor shall verify
that the pressure differential across the valve does not exceed the rated working pressure of the
valve.
Prior to calling out the Engineer or Inspector to witness the pressure test, the Contractor shall have
all equipment set up completely ready for operation and shall have successfully performed the test
to ensure that the pipe is in satisfactory condition.
Defective materials or workmanship, discovered as a result of hydrostatic field test, shall be replaced

7‐20.3(2) Definitions
Annular Space
The space between the excavated HDD bore diameter and the pipeline.
Drilling Fluid/Mud
A mixture of water, bentonite, and/or polymers continuously pumped to the drilling tool or bit cutting
head to facilitate the removal of soil cuttings, and stabilization of the bore. These fluids also cool the
cutting tools and lubricate the pipe string.
Drilling Tool/Bit
Any tool or system of tools that excavates at the face of a bore.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a guided, steerable drilling system used for the trenchless
installation of pipes, conduits, and cables. A pilot bore path is excavated in an engineered bore path
from a drill rig. Excavation takes place with fluid‐assisted cutting from a drilling tool on the drill string.
The bore is filled with drilling mud/fluid for stabilization. The bore path is enlarged with subsequent
multiple reaming passes until the desired diameter is achieved. The final bore diameter is typically
12 inches larger than the outer diameter of the product pipe or 1.5 times the outer diameter of the
product pipe, whichever is smaller. The product pipe, conduit, or cable is pulled into the fluid ‐
stabilized bore.
Inadvertent Drilling Fluid Returns (Hydrofracture)
Migration of the drilling fluid to the ground surface that can be caused by fracturing or failure of the
soil around the borehole as a result of drilling fluid pressure.
Jetting Assembly
Jetting assemblies rely primarily on the mechanical bend behind the jet bit to produce enough side
force to change the direction of the borehole. A variety of cutting bits such as bladed, spade, or roller
cone bits can be used with jetting assemblies. Rotation of the cutting bit is provided by the drill rig.
Renton Sewer Replacement Project Phase 2
Special Provisions - 167 WWP-27-4273 April 2025
Drilling fluid is used to aid the cutting bit with cutting, cool the downhole assembly, lubricate the drill
string, and flush spoil cuttings from the borehole.
Mud Motor
A rotor and stator connected behind the drill bit used to convert the drilling fluid hydraulic energy into
mechanical energy that rotates the drill bit independently of the drill pipe.
Pilot Bore
The action of creating the first guided pass of the HDD process which is then reamed in multiple
passes to the size required to allow pullback of the product pipe.
Product Pipe
The pipe that is pulled into the borehole and installed via HDD.
Pullback
That part of the HDD process in which the drill string and product pipe are pulled back through the
bore to the entry point.
Pullback Loads
The tensile load (force) applied to a drill string and product pipe during the pullback process.
Reaming
The second stage of the HDD process in which a reamer or hole opener is attached to the drill string
and is used to excavate and enlarge the pilot hole. The reaming stage may include multiple reaming
passes.
