SP-06 TIME OF COMPLETION The time of completion for all work to be accomplished under this contract shall be forty-five (45) calendar days after the contractor's . #. receipt of notice to proceed. Should the owner cause a delay in the completion of the work by reason of requirements on extra work, by failure to deliver required material or equipment on schedule, or otherwise not provided for by the plans or these specifications; the contractor will be granted an exten- sion of tin:v for completion equal_ tc the amount of such delay and no charge will be ma�?e against him for the extension of time so granted, provided, however,. that all extensions requested by the contractor shall be made to Ch—� owner in writing on or before the fifth of the month fol- lowing that in .ahcih the alleged delay is said to have occurred and such claim for extension of time shall state explicitly the reasons therefo2_-e. Should the contractor fail to file such written claim for extensi cli of time within the period provided therefor, he thereby shall have abandoned anv claim therefor. No claim for delay will be con- sidered by the c:,ner except that alleged to have been caused by extra work or special order of the owner acting through the engineer.

The contractor must not antici- pate such orders, but must obey them if issued and shall have no claim for damages other than that covered by the extension of time. in awarding the contract the owner may give such value to an earlier completion time as deemed appropriate after all other features of the b_dder's proposals have been considered. -,i naming the p-__ces for completion of the work within the time specified, it shall be understood and agreed that the work shall be completed wI_th r. that time,, If, however, said work is not completed within the time named therefor in t-he contract, as extended to cover the total days of delav a'_l.owed under the paragraphs above, the owner :'.i deduct and retain out of any money then due or that may become ulie the coiit—actor at the time of such delinquency or later, the sum of Fifty Dolla::s ($5Oe00) for each and every calendar day that the dame of f_-nal ccnplFtion of the project is delayed. In submit- ting a proposal. and signing the contract the contractor thereby shall have agreed to these provisions and, furthermore, that the sum so de- ducted and retained is not a penalty but a reimbursement to the owner for damages which the owner will have sustained by reason of such de- layed completion. Damages so liquidated which would be difficult or impossible to ascer'=ain accurately are understood to include the ad- ditional cost to the owner for engineering supervision.

Where there is a total of more than 20 cubic yards of concrete in the work or where the local building code requires the Contractor shall, under the direction of the Engineer, take four test cylinders for each fifty (50) cubic yards of concrete placed ( or major pour is less than fifty); two to be cured under job conditions and two in an approved commercial laboratory. Two cylinders shall be tested for compressive strength at 7 and two at 28 days. Three copies of all test reports shall be furnished to the Engineer. f. Placing Concrete. Water in excavation or forms must be re- moved before concrete is deposited in them and no additional water shall be allowed to enter while concrete is being plac ed and there- after for so long as may be necessary to prevent damage. If concrete is to be placed in or under water the specification covering such placement will appear on the plans. Before mixing or transporting concrete, all equipment to be used for these operations shall be clean and before concrete is mixed ready for placing all debris must be removed from the places where it is to be deposited. Concrete placement in cold weather will be permitted only under conditions which shall meet the approval of the Engineer and the concrete in place shall receive special protection. Salt, chemicals, or other foreign materials shall not be mixed with the conrete to prevent freezing. Prior to placing concrete a schedule of pouring shall be given the Engineer and shall receive his approval before concrete operations begin. When concreting operations have begun they shall be continuous until all material of an appropriate unit of the structure has been placed. Suspension of operations for more than one hour will not be permitted during a continuous pour and this limit may be shortened on order by the Engineer. All concrete shall be placed within 45 minutes after it is mixed, or if ready -mixed concrete is used such concrete shall be placed within 45 minutes from the time the truck leaves the batching plant or from the time the conrete is actually mixed in transit -mix trucks. Concrete shall be placed generally in horizontal layers not more than 12 inches thick except as otherwise specified. When a monolithic layer cannot be completed in one operation, it shall be terminated with RC-03 a vertical bulkhead. Feathering out to less than six (6) inches will not be permitted.' Where placing operations would involve the dropping of concrete vertically from a height of six (6) feet or more through completed forms, concrete so placed shall be discharged into hoppers feeding into flexible drop chutes. The free drop of the concrete mix from chutes shall be not higher than two (2) feet. Where conditions warrant this procedure may be altered by the Engineer upon request of the Contractor. Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by puddling and spading with suitable tools or by the proper used of mechanical vibrators. It shall be worked thoroughly around the reinforcement and embedded fix- tures and into the corners of the forms. Where the total volume of concrete on a project exceeds 15 cubic yards vibrators shall be used. Clogging the forms with excessive depth of concrete which may prevent proper compacting shall be avoided. Each layer of concrete is to be regarded as a unit of masonry to be laid and worked before the suc- ceeding layer can be superimposed in the process of monolithic const- ruction. Special attention must be given to the need for securing ex- posed surfaces which will not require patching after the forms are removed. The Contractor shall at all times have an ample number of experienced puddlers to insure a perfect and uniform contact. between concrete and form boards, and, if necessary and permitted by the Engineer, holes must be made through the forms to permit proper and effective placing, distributions and compaction of the concrete. Suitable and safe runways must be provided for use while placing concrete. If the Engineer belives that any temporary structure is unsatisfactory or unsafe, he shall have the right to order its re- moval or reconstruction but his failure to do so shall not relieve the Contractor in any way from his obligations in these respects. g. Curina. Exposed surfaces of concrete, horizontal and vertical, shall be kept wet constantly for at least ten (10) days after being deposited unless otherwise specified on the drawings or as ordered by the Engineer. Surfaces shall be covered with burlap or other blan- keting material to retain the moisture during this period. In gene- ral the curing of concrete by the constant application of water is perferable but this shall not preclude the use of other surface treat- ments where conditions make it necessary or particularly desirable and in cases where the Engineer's approval has be secured. h. Admixtures. The use, of admixtures will be allowed only by written permission of the Engineer. Admixtures used will be considered only as a means of improving workability of the concrete and facili- tating placement, and in no case shall the cement content be reduced RC-04 below the amount specified. i. Forms. Forms may be of wood or metal and shall be built accurately to provide the shape, lines,and dimensions required for the finished concrete. They shall be strongly braced and tied so as to maintain their position, shape and tightness, without bulging or becomming displaced during the process of pouring concrete, and de- signed to withstand the effect of vibration of the concrete. If de- formation shall occur at any point when concrete is placed in a surface which will be exposed permanently in the finished structure the con- crete so disfigured shall be removed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Form lumber shall be of good quality, smoothly finished and free from defects that might injure the appearance of concrete formed against it. Except as noted below, all exterior surfaces of walls which will be exposed permanently when grading is completed and the structure finished as required by the plans shall be formed against plywood not less than 5/3 inch thick, or against thin plywood which may be used as a lining for more substantial forms. This requirement with respect to forms shall be applicable to surfaces which normally may be covered by water except that some such surfaces may be excluded specifically by the plans. Wherever practicable, wall panels shall be formed by using one piece of plywood. Plywood used for forms shall be thoroughly oiled or soaped to prevent raising of the grain when the surface becomes wet. For interior faces of circular walls tongue and groove lumber lined with plywood shall be used. Curved exteriors of walls may also be formed against well -matched narrow -width tongue and groove lumber if the Contractor shall so desire, and if the Engineer shall approve as not detrimental to the appearance of the finished structure. Where surfaces are to be given a special finish which is not affected by the forms, one -inch boards of uniform widths SIZE may be used for forms. All joints between adjacent pieces of form lumber shall be closely fitted, so that lines in the concrete shall not be disagreeably evident where the boards have met. Care shall be taken to keep the grain of plywood in the same direction in adjacent pieces if to do otherwise might pro- duce an unpleasing surface. Special treatment of forms shall be given attention if it is required by the plans. Forms shall be oiled or thoroughly wetted just before placing concrete in them. No forms shall be removed until the concrete has the strength to resist all possibility of damage to it. Use 1/2-inch 450 bevel inserts'at all' --inside and outside corners exeeiat where protected by steel edgings. The use and removal of form ties, such as bolts, or other de- vices for holding the forms in place, shall be subject to approval by the Engineer. Any such approval will have special reference to the effect of such use on the appearance of the finished structure and there must be definite assurance that form -tying will not have a detrimental RC-05 effect. The Engineer at any time shall have the right to reject the method in use if in his opinion more satisfactory results can be ob- tained with some other device or procedure. In general, form ties of twisted wires will not be permitted and must not be attempted with- out first having secured the approval of the Engineer. j. Removal of Forms. In the determination of the time for re- moval of forms, falsework and housing, consideration will be given to the weather and other conditions influencing the setting of con- crete, curing and materials in the mix. In general the following periods, exclusive of days when the temperature is below 400 .,for removal of forms may be used as a guide subject to the approval of the Engineer: Centering under beams 10-14 days Floor slabs 10-14 days Walls 12-24 hours Columns 1-7 days Sides of beams and other parts 12-24 hours k. Surface Finish. All surfaces of structures, including curbs, exposed to view shall be smooth formed using approved plywood or hard- board form liner. The appearance of all exposed concrete is of major importance. Forms shall have a minimum of joints and concrete shall be carefully placed and vibrated to obtain a smooth surface, free from gravel poc- kets, voids or segregation. At all locations requiring smooth forming, form ties which can be broken 1/2 inch back from the finished faces shall be used. Forms shall be removed with care and all corners, etc., protected. While the concrete is still green voids and form tie pockets shall be packed with grout, joint projections ground level, and surfaces then rubbed and sacked to a smooth even finish. This work shall begin within forty eight hours after removal of forms. 1. Inserts and Fastening Devices. In cooperation with all trades and other contractors all inserts and fastening devices such as anchors, hangers, ties, bolts, conduits, water stops, nailing strips etc., shall be properly located and secured in position before concrete is poured. m. Construction Joints. The location of construction joints not shown on the drawings shall be approved by the Engineer. Prior to placing new concrete against any previously poured concrete, the lat- ter shall be cleaned of all loose concrete, debris and laitance, roughened if required and thoroughly soaked and covered with a layer of grout. RC-06 RC-04 REINFORCEMENT STEEL A. General. Unless otherwise provided elsewhere in Part IV, all steel used for the reinforcement of concrete shall be furnished and placed in accordance with these specifications. b. Quality. Steel bars shall conform to the basic requirements of ASTM Spec. A 15 and deformations shall conform to ASTM Spec. A 305. All bars shall be round, deformed, except No. 2 (1/4). Welded wire fabric or mesh shall conform to the basic requirements of ASTM Spec. A 185. C. Placement. Reinforcement steel shall be cut to length, bent and placed as required by the plans and the latest methods of practice approved by the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRST). Where splicing of reinforcing bars is permitted not less than 24-bar dia- meters shall be overlapped unless provided otherwise by the plans or elsewhere in Part IV. d. Payment. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with a detailed schedule of the location, sizes and weights of all reinforce- ment steel. This schedule shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval before fabrication and shall be subj`ct-to'verification by the Engineer before payment will be rnade* Payments for reinforcement steel in place shall be according to the following schedule of weights where payments are to be made on a unit weight basis: Number Size and Type Section in Sg.In.
