included in a oontinuous placement, The Contractor shall avoid unauthorized
construction ,joints by placing required portions of abutments, piers, walls.
r Or superstructures in one continuous operation, Lai%anoe or foreign matter
of any kind shall not be permitted to accumulate inside theforms, and open-
ings in forms necessary for removal of some, shall bo provided.
f It is understood that the Contractor is rasp-nsible for the protec-
tion of concrete placed under any and all weather conditions. Permission
liven by the Engineer to place concrete during freezing weather will not in
any way relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for satisfactory re-
sults. Should concrete placed Wunder such conditions prove unsatisfactory,
It ;hall be removed and replaced.
4 PLACING CONCRETE IN WATER
Concrete shall be deposited in water only with written approval of
the Engineer, should such condition become necessary, The forms, ooffer-
dams, or caissons shall be sufficiently tight to prevent any water current
passing through the space in which concrete is being deposited. Pumping of
water from forms or caissons or dofferdsms Mile concrete is being placed,
or until it has set for, at least, thirty-six (Y,) hov rs, will not be per-
mitted.

CURING CONCRETE
Careful attention shall be given by the Contractor tofhe proper cur-
ing of all concrete in the structure. All walls and surfaces of concrete
shall be kept well wetted down for. at least, seven (7) curing-days after
concrete forms have been removed and concrete surfaces have been e3p osed to
the weather.
DEFECTIVE WORK
Any defective work discovered after the forms have been removed shall
be repaired Immediately. If the surfaces of the concrete is bulged, uneven,
or shows honeycombing or form marks, and the defects, in t;te opinion of the
En�ireer, can not be repaired satisfactorily, the entire section shall be
removed and replaced. In repairing honeycombed areas, all loose materials
shall be removed before the repair work is started. No extra compensation
will be allowed for additional work or materials involved in repairing or
reilacing defective concrete. As soon as Fenno are removed, all necessary
po:nting shall be done. When the pointing has set sufficiently to permit
it, all surfaces requiring surface finish shall be wet with a brush aad given
a first surface rubbing with a No. 16 carborundom stone or an abrasive of
equal quality. The rubbing shall be continued sufficiently to bring the
surface to a paste, to remove all form marks and projections and to produce
a smooth douse surface wit`,out pits or irregularities. The use of cement to
form a surface paste will not be permitted. The material which has been g round
to a paste in this process shall be carefully spread or brushed uniformly
over thw surface and allowed 'cc take a reset.

Dear Sirs
You will find enclosed 7 ooVies of letter from Contraotor,
B.H. Sheldon, dated November E, 1942, in relation to a proposed
change in the floor of the pump house by lowering portion of acme
2 feet, or from elevation 7.0 to elevation 3.0. ,Also the lowering
of the sump pit in the pump house to elevation 0.50.
You will altio find enclosed 2 blueprints shcwil%f the lower-
ing of the floor anc metfoe.. of constructing sane.
The Contractor's proposal in connection with this proposed
change is set forth in his above-r-eniicned letter wherRin he agrees
to make this change fci tic sum of E27.50.
We have carefelly checked the Contractor's proposal and find
c that the unit prison set forth therein a6ree arith the unit prices for
suoh io rk set forth in the rontraet documents. ;e find the proposed
change to be equitable and rair ir nil respects.
ae originally planned Vie construction �f this pump hc ,;se�
floor at elevation 5.0 ::a shown on the enclosed blueprints but owing
to the fact that we anV�gipated a morn serious it-ter problem in the
construction of the floor than actually exists, we raised a portion of
the floor 2 feet to elevation 7.0.
rr 'vow gist we find no seric, s diffioult.iee insofar as wator is
concerned we derided to low4r the floor as :n : tidied for theraaaon that
It will make for much better construction and operation of the plant.
7t is requested that a Change order be effectuated authorising

will by required. No concrete in a monolithic pour shall be placed age Est concrete
poured more than 60 minutes previously. Thorough tamping, spading, ant, .r vibration
shall be used to secure maximum density and workability. External vibration shall
not be used unless the forms have b �n specially designed to withstand such forces
without damage. A smooth, non-porous surface is required on all concrete surfaces.

Dear Sir:
Enclosed please find a copy of the letter from R. M. Wade
CLmpeny regarding the Peerless Pump at the Renton Sewage
Treatment Plant. The proposal given by Mr. Pringle seems
lesirable. However, my knowledge of actual pump design
is wry limited. Unless you can figure gut an ezohange or
replacement of the pump, this is abcut the cheapest way
out, according to Mr. Pringle.

If we can be of any further service to you, please feel

Attentions Mr. Wagg ner
Dear Sirs
Confirming our recent conversation, we have received word from the reerleus Pump
Division that it is very practical to take the impeller out of the Renton
Peerless pump aw trim it to 14ge in diameter and make it h ve a ratlsg of about
GPM at 15' TDH.
It is a relatively simple job that probably oo..ld be done by the City of Renton
themselves. However, if we were to do it and gave you a firm price, it would
have to be fairly high because of all the possible contingencies. Therefore,
as an alternate, we wiggest the following:
The City of Renton furnish the block and tackle to lift tltc motor and necessary
help to dismantle the pump. We will furnish our service foresan at $3.50 per
hour to supervise if desired. Mileage will be at the rate of 10j per mile to
and f:,om Renton. We would estimate the pump could be taken apart easily in one
e day, the im eller turns" either that day or the foll,- ' �g morning and probably
I reinstalled the following day. This would, we belie sake a relatively in—
expaL sive job for the city, and for two 8 hour days, plus turning the impeller,
plus m leage, the charge would not be over $67.00, tad possibly less.
The above, of course, would not include time which the city might charge for
their own employees for their help in dismantling the pmap. We cannot guarantee
that the above woulo be all that would be required, but we be_ieve that it would
be more than ample.
We hope the above gives you Lie information you need and please let us know if
we may gi-e you any further service.
Yours very truly,
R. M. WAD;, do CO.
