a. Damage to another contractor.
Should the amount due the contractor under the estimate for any -
given month be less than five hundred (500) dollars at the option of the
engineer, no payment shall be made for th-tt month.
Partial payments ihall not bt onetrued as a.n acceptance or
approval of any part of the work covered thereby, and they shall in no
manner relieve the contractor of responsibility for defective workmanship
or material. '
s The, estimates upon which partial payments are based are not ••
represented to be accurate estimates, and all quantities shown therein are I
subject to correction in the final estimate. If the contractor uses such
estimates as a basis for making payments to su'_contractors, he does so at
his own risk, and he shall bear all loss that may result.
The making of partial payments under the contract, either before
or after the date set for completion of the work, shall not operate to invali-
date any of the provisions of the contract or to release the surety.
At the time payment is made for any materials whicn have been
stored at or near the site, the ownership of such materials shall be vested i
in the owner, and they shall remain in storage until used on the work. Such
materials shall not be used on other work.
3. 9. 10 Advances on Materials
For materials delivered and held in storage upon the work for
near the site of the work if approved by the engineer), allowances will be
made in the partial payments to the contractor. These allowances shall be i
in amounts not exceeding ninety (90) per cent of the net cost to the contractor ,
of the material I. o. b, the work, and from such allowances there shall be 4
retained the percentages regularly provided for in connection with partial
paym,.nts. In cases where there is a bid price on a given material in place j
the allowance shall be further limited not to exceed ninety (90) per cent of t
the difference between the bid price and the cost of placing as estimated by
the engineer.
At the option of the engineer, no allowance for materials shall
be made on any partial estimate unless the total allowable value for all
materials on hand is at least one thousand dollars ($1000. 00) a.id no allow-
ance shall be made upon any single class of material the value of which is
not at least five hundred dollars !$500 00). The inventory of materials for
which advances are requested shall be kept to a reasonable size as approved
by the engineer. No allowance shall be made upon fuels, supplies, form )
lumber, falsework, or other materials, or on ter .orary structures of any
kind, which will not become an integral part of tYe finished construction.

incurred prior to the date of cancellation or suspension of the work by
order of the engineer. Where practicable the work completed before can-
cellation shall he paid for at unit prices, otherwise the contractor shall
be allowed a profit percentage on the materials used and construction work
actually performed at rates as provided under "Payment for Force Account
* Work", Article 3. 9. A but no allowance will be made for anticipated profits,
* , Acceptable materials ordered by the contractor or delivered on the work
prior to the date of cancellation or suspension of the work by order of the
.-- owner shall be purchased from the contractor by the owner at actual cost
s and thereupon becomes the property of the owner. s
3. 9. 9 Partial Payments
At a egular period each month the engineer shall make an
estimate of the amount of work completed and of the value of 6uch completed
work. He shall also make an estimate of the amount and value of acceptable
material to be incorporated in the completed work which has been delivered
and properly stored at or near the site or at at.. acceptable location to the
engineer. With these estimates as a base, a partial payment shall be made
to the contractor, which partial payment shall be equal to the value of com-
pieted work as computed from the engineer's estimate, plus the value of
accepted materials which are in a condition or state of fabrication ready to
be incorporated in the completed structure and which are held in storage on
or near the work, the val'.te of such materials computed !n accordance with
Article 3. 9. 10 of these specifications, less such amounts as may have been
•.reviously paid, less such other amounts as may be deductible or as may be
owing and dr.- to the owner for any cause, and less an amount to be retained
in protectijn of the owner's interests.
Until such time as the work is accepted by the owner the retained
percentage rhall be ten (10) per cent of the value of the completed work unless
applicable state laws or municipal ordi .ncea provide for a greater sum;
then the amount required by such laws tr ordinances shall be retained.
The Engineer may withhold or, on account of subsequently dis-
covered evidence, nullify the whole or a part of any payment certificate to
such extent as may be deemed necessary to protect the owner from lose on
account of:
a. Defective work not remedied.
b. Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable
filing of claims.
c. Failure of the contractor to make payments properly to
subcontractors or for material or labor.
d. .A reasonable doubt in the opinion of the engineer, that the
contract can be completed for the balance then unpaid.

in writing before the work is commenced. Individual pieces of equipment
having a value of one hundred (100) dollars or less will be considered to be
tools or small equipment, and no rental will be allowed on such. -.
The fifteen (15) per cent allowance to be made to the contractor
(br subcontractor) will be made on all items of cost listed above except for -
rental on equipment auth,,,ized by the engineer to be used on the work in
which case the allowance will be five (5) per cent.
The percentage allowances made to the contractor in accordance s
a with the terms outlined above will be understood to be reimbursement and
compensation for all superintendence, use of tools and small equipment,
overhead expenses, bond cost, insurance premiums, profits, indirect costs
and losses of all kinds, and all other items of cost not specifically designated
herein as items involved are furnished or incurred by the contractor or by
the subcontractor. No other reimbursement, compensation or payment will
be made for any such services, costs or other items.
Should any percentage allowance or other corresponding allowance
be made by the contractor to a subcontractor (other than specified herein),
in connection with force account work, such allowance shall be at the sole
expense of the contractor and the contractor will not bf reimbursed or other-
wise compensated for the same by the owner.

3. 9. 7 Force. Account Bills
Bills for force account work must show in payroll form the dates,
names, hours worked each day, rates of pay, and amounts paid to each
individual employed on such work, and must give in detail the nature of the
work done by each. Bills for materials must be fully itemized, showing
dates of delivery, quantities, unit prices, amounts, and discounts, and must
be accompanied by receipted invoices covering every item.
All bills, payrolls, and other forms of claims for payment on
force account work inust be submitted in triplicate, must state the number
of force account work or change order applicable and the name or number
of the contract under which the work was performed, and must be approved -
by the engineer. Failure to present claims in proper form within thirty (30)
days after the close of the month in which the work covered was per: rmed
shall constitute a waiver on the part of the contractor of his right to present
such claim thereafter or to receive payment therefor.
3. 9. 8 Payment for Omitted Items
The owner shall have the right to cancel the portions of the
contract relating to the construction of any item therein by payment to the
contractor of a fair and equitable amount covering all items of cost

A
The itema of cost to which the above percentage will be added and
to which payment will be restricted are as follows:
ra. The payment to be made for labor used in the work will be
made at the rates actually paid (plus a sum t . to exceed 20 per cent thereof
00 for items of direct overhead on labor such as but not limited to welfare or
ks fringe benefit payments, social security, accounting, insurance, etc. ) to the
laborers and foremen by the contractor or subcontractor unless these rates
A are in excess of the current local prevailing wage rates, in which event,
k e payment will be made at the local prevailing wage rate. :he time allowed will s
be the number of hours worked directly on. force acco,int operations.
A
t•q b. Payment for purchased materials, equipment and supplies used
on force account work will be made at the prices billed to the contractor or
ss subcontractor by the supplier, less all discounts. It will be assumed that the
t ., contractor or his subcontractor has taken advantage of all possible discounts
on bills for materials and supplies, and such discounts will be subtracted
H from the total amounts of bills regardless of any failure of the contractor to
4s take advantage of same- Freight and express on material and suppli will
be considered to be a part of the cost of the materials and supplies wa_t be
considered to be a part of the cost of the materials and supplies and will be
paid for as materials and supplies.
C. Materials and supplies produced by the contractor or sub-
contractor will IN- paid for at prices to be agreed upon between the contractor
and the engineer which prices will be no greater than the prices at which the
materials and supplies can be obtained elsewhere.
MV
d. Where the use of rental equipment is authorized by the engineer
rental on such equipment used will be paid at the rates actually paid by the
•» contractor or subcontractor unless these rater are in excess of the current
local rates, or unless the equipment is owned by the contractor or subcon-
tractor, in either of which events payments will be made at the rates to be
agreed upot, between the contractor and the engineer prior to beginning work,
which rates will in no case be greater than the current local rates.
- For equipment rented on a daily or hourly basis, rental will be
allowed for only those drays or hours during which the equipment is in actual
use. For equipment rented on a monthly basis, straight time rental will be
allowed from the day the equipment is first used on the particular piece of
force account work until and including the last day on which it is used on that
particular work, provided the equipment is not used on other work during the
period, and provided further that the equipment is not idle for a continuous
period of mure than six days. No rental will be allowed for any parts of idle
periods of lengths greater thai six days or for >ny time during wMcE the
equipment is used on other work.
The rer,'l.al allowed for equipment wi'.i in all cases be understood
to cover all fuel, supplies, repairs, and renewals, and no further allowances
rill be made for those items unless specific agreement to that effect is made

owner. The contractor declarer that the lump sum price(s) includes such
sums for all exoenses and profit as he deems pro;,er. No demand for expense
or profit other than those included in the lump s�rn price(s) will be allowed. -
b. Unit Prices. The total amount to be paid under the contract
for items for which unit prices are to be named will be calculated on the basis
of the unit prices named in the proposal for the quantitiea actually incorporated
into the finished project, all as provided by the proposal. The quantities
named in the proposal o- separately listed are approximate only but these
are to be used as a basic, for the comparison of bids and to determine the
amount of the performance bond. However, if unit prices appear to the
s owner to be unbalanced to such an extent that changes in actual quantities
required under the contract might result in contract price adjustments which
would increase payments to the contractor excessively, then the owner may
take such a condition under consideration in making the award of the contract,
The owner expressly reserves the right to increase or decrease the estimated
quantities during corstruction and to make any reasonable changes in design
without thereby being obligated to the contractor in any way as a result of
losses he may sustain because of inadequate unit prices or because anticipated
profits are not realized.
3. 9. 5 Claims for Extra Compensation
in the event any situation arises which, in the opinion of the con-
tractor, entitles him or will entitle him to compensation in addition to that
which he will receive at the prices and on the basis of payment specifically
set forth in the contract and in previously issued extra v.ork orders, price -
agreements and supplemental agreements, the contractor shall notify the
engineer of the situation and of his intention to make claim for such addi-
tional or extra compensation. The notice to the engineer shall be made in
writing and shall be delivered before any of the extra expense to be claimed
is incurred. The notice shall set forth the grounds on which the additional
or extra compensation is to be claimed. If notice to the engineer is not thus
given, or if the engineer is not afforded proper facilities by the r_.,atrector -
for keeping rtrict account of actual cost, then the contractor hereby agrees
to waive the claim for such extra compensation. Such notice by the contractor,
and the fact that the engineer has kept account of the cost an aforesaid, shall
not in any way be construed as proving the validity of the claim. In case the
claim is found to be valid and just, it may be allowed and paid for as an extra
as provided herein for extra work, or it may be allowed and paid under a
supplemental agreement to be entered into between the parties to the contract.
3. 9. 6 Payment for Force Account Work
When extra work is ordered by the engineer to be done on a force
account basis (either by the contractor or an approved subcontractor) such
work will be paid for on the basis of the actual cost to the contractor or
subcontractor plus an allowance of fifteen (15) per cent thereof. Where said
work is performed by an approved subcontractor, five (5) per cent will be
ally,ved the contractor for supervision of the subcontractor's work

The methods of measurement and computation to be used it, the
determination of the quantities of materials furnished and the quantities of
work performed under the contract shall be the methods outlined in these
specifications or by those methods generally recognized as good engineering
practice, which, in the opinion of the engineer, give the greatest accuracy
A consistent with practicable application.

3. 9. 2 Scope of Payment_ s
�{ The contractor shall acce_a the compensation, as herein provided,
in full payment for furnishing a . materials, labor, tools and equipment,
A and for performing all work under the contract, also for all loss, damage,

3. 9. 3 Alteration in Details of Construction
ss
k•••i The owner reserves the right to make, at any time (luring the
progress of the work, such increases or decreases in quantities and such
alterations in the details of const_uction as may be tound to be necessary or
desirable. Such increases z nu alterations shall not invalidate the con-
tract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to accept the work
t" as altered, the same as if it had been a part of the original contract.
r�
Unless such alterations and increases or decreases materially
1 change the character of the work to be performed or the cost thereof, the
•+ altered work shall be paid for at the same unit prices as other parts of the
work. If, however, the character of the work or the unit costs thereof are
materially changed, an allowance shall be made on such basis as may have
been agreed to in advance of the performance of the work, or in case ro
such basis has been previously agreed upon, then an allowance shall be made,
either for or against the contractor, in such amount as the engineer may de-
termine to be fair and equitable.
No claim shall be made by the contractor for any loss of anticipated
profits because of any such alteration, or by r: ason of any variation between
the approximate quantities and the quantities of work as done.
- 3. q. 4 Quantities and Unit Prices
a. Lump Sum. The contractor shall include in the contract sum
all allowances named in the contract document for items (or for the entire
work) which are b he paid for under a lump sum price(s) and shall cause
the work so covered to be done for such sums. Should the engineer direct
that additional work be required or work deleted under a lump sum price(s)
item, the contract sum will be adjusted therewith by negotiation or may be
based upon the basis of "extra work" for additional work at the option of the

It is understood and agreed 'hat the owner may, at its discretion,
avail itself of any or all of the above rights or remediea and that the invoking
of any one of the above rights or remcdie=_ will not prejudice or preclude the
owner from subsequently invoking any other right or remedy set forth above
or elsewhere in the contract.

the owner should fail to pay to the co; tractor within thirty (30) days of its
presentation, any sum certified by the engineer and approved by the owner,
then the contractor may, upon seven days written notice to the owner and
the engineer, stop work or terminate this contract and recover from the
owner payment for all work executed and any lose sustained upon any plant or
materials and reasonable profit and damares.
3. S. 13 Suits of law Concerning the Work
Should a suit of law be entered iatu either by the contractor (or
his surety) against the owner or by the owner againat the contractor (or his
surety), the suit of law shall be tried in the county of the state in which the
work was or is to be performed.

If one of the questions at issue is the satisfactory performance
of the work by the contractor and should the appropriate court of law judge the
work of the contractor to be unsatisf;�ctr,rv, than the contractor or his surety
shall reimburse the owner for all legal ar:A all other expenses (as may be
allowed and set by the court) incurred o-.- the owner because of the suit of law
arai, further, it is agreed that the owner may deduct such expenses from
any sum or sums then or that ma, become iue the contractor. Should there
be no such funds available or should such fund. oe not sufficient to cover the

3. 8. 10 Annulment and Cancellation of Contract. by Owner
If the contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he should
wake a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver
fy should be appointed on account of hie insolvency, or if he should persistently
or repeatedly refuse or should fail to supply enough properly skilled workmen
f or proper materials for the efficient prosecution of the project, or if he should
fail to make prompt Payment to subcontractors or for material or labor, or
s persistently ''isregard laws, ordinances, or the instructions of the engineer,
or otherwise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provisions of the con-
tract, then the owner, upon the certificate of the engineer that, in L.,, opinion,
sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may without prejudice to any
other right or remedy and after giving the contractor and his surety seven (7)
days written notice, terminate the employment of the contractor and take posses-
sion of the premises and of all materials, tools, and appliances thereon and
finish the work by whatever method it may deem expedient.
In the event action as above indicated is taken by the owner the
contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work
is completed. On completion of the work, determination shall be made by
the engineer of the 'total amount the contractor would have been entitled to
receive for the work under the terms of the contract, had he himself completed
the work. If the difference between said tt,.al amount and the st,m of all amounts
previously paid to the contractor which difference will hereinafter be called
the "unpaid balance", exceeds tht -xpense incurred by the owner in completing
the work, including expense for additional managerial and administrative
services, such excess will be pa; 1 to the contractor, with the consent of the
surety. If, instead, the expense incurred by the owner exceeds the unpaid
balance, the amount of the excess shall be paid to the owner by the contractor
or his surety.
The expense incurred by the owner as herein provided, and the
damage ir..urred through the contractor's default, shall be as determined
and certified by 'he engineer.
In addition to and apart from the above mentioned rights of the
owner to terminate the employment of the contractor, it is expressly under-
stood that the contract may be cancelled at the election of the owner for any
willful failure or refusal on the part of the contractor to faithfully perform
the contract according to all of its terms and conditions; provided, however,
that in the event the owner should cancel the contract, neither the -on-
tractor nor his surety shall be relieved from damages or losses suffered by
the owner on account of the contractor's said breach of contract.
GC-33
also will give notice as to when the work shall he resumed and the contractor's
time for completion will be extended for a time equal to the amount of the
delay so ordered. The contractor must not anticipate such orders, but must
obey them as issued and shall have no claim for damages other than that
covered by the extension of time.
In naming the prices completion of the work within the time
specified it shall be understood and agreed the work shall be completed
within that time. If, however, said work is not completed within the time
s named in the contract, as extended to cover the total days of delay allowed s
.n the paragraph above, the owner shall deduct and retain out of any sum
then due or that may become due the contractor at time of such delinquency
or later, the sum specified in the special provisions for each and every cal-
endar day that the date of final completion of each contract is delayed. In sub-
mitting a proposal and signing the contract, the contractor thereby shall have
agreed to these provisions and, furthermore, that the sum deducted and retained
is not a penalty but a reimbursement to the owner for damages which the owner
will have sustained by reason of such delayed completion. Damages so liqui-
dated are understood to include the additional cost to the owner for engineering "
supervision, interest charges, and overhead all of which damages would be
difficult or impossible to ascertain accurately.
Delay forced upon the contractor by failure or. 'he part of the owner
and its representatives to act promptly in the carrying out of its obligations
and duties under the contract will be considered cause fo..- waiving a part or
all of the aforementioned reimbursement, only when and to such extent as
such failure does actually prevent completion of the work within the specified
time.
Changes in plans and increases in the quantities of work to be per-
formed will be considered cause for said waiver only when they are of such
nature and when they occur at such times that they materially and necessarily
retard the progress of the work.
Temporary suspensions of the work when ordered by the engineer
in advance and with written agreement to the effect that time extensions will
be allowed for them, will he considered tausu for said waiver.
Amounts due the owner from the contractor under the foregoing
provisions shall be deducted from any monies then due or to become due said
contractor under the contract, and such deductions shall not in any degree
release the contractor from further obligations in respect to the fulfillment
of the entire contract, nor any right which the owner may have to claim, sae
for, and recover compensation a.id damages for no performance or breach of
the contract.

temporary structures where necessary. The contracto- shall not suspend
the work without written appruval from the engineer. ii, all cases of sus-
pension of construction operations, the work shall not again be resumed until
permitted by order of the engineer.

may occur during suspensions of work the same as though the damage had
occurred while the work was in progress.

• r 3. 8. 9 Time of Completion of Work and Extension of Time Limit •
Time is of the essence of the contract. Therefore, the work to
be done under the contract shall be completed in its entirety within the time
specified in the special provisions; provided however, that the owner may,
in its discretion, xEend the time for completion of the work without invali-
dat9ng any of the provisions of the contract and without releasing the surety.
Extensions of time as above provided will be considered by the
tic ter only upon receipt of a written request from the contractor accompanied
by the written consent of the surety. Each request shall state the date to
which the extension is desired and shall describe the conditions which have
operated to prevent completion of the work within the specified time.
When an extension of time is granted on any basis other than those
delays caused by acts of the owner or "Acts of God", it shall be with the
understanding that the contractor will reimburse the owner for the engineering
expense incurred in connection with the work during the period of the extension
in addition to extra expense of any kind that may be brought upon the owner
by reason of the over-run in time.
Should the owner cause a delay in the completion of the work by
reason of requirements or extra work or otherwise not provided for by the
plans or these specificaciont, the contractor will be granted an extension of
time for completion equal to the amount of such delay and no charge will be
made against him for the extension of time so granted, provided, however,
that all such extensions requested by the contractor shall be made to the
owner in writing an or before the fifth of the month following that in which
the alleged delay is said to have occurred and such claim for extension of
time shall state explicitly the reasons therefor. Should the contractor fail
to file such written claim for extension of time within the period provided
theref. r, he thereby shall have abandoned any claim therefore. No claim
for delay will be considered by the owner except that alleged to have been
caused by extra work or special order of the owner acting through the engi-
neer. The owner shall have the right to order the work to cease for a time
because of inclement weather, but in case such order is given, the owner

In an emergency affecting the safety of life or of the work or of
adjoining property the contractor, without special instruction or authorization
from the engineer or owner, is hereby permitted to act, at his discretion, to
prevent such threatened lose or injury, and he shall so act, without appeal,
if so instructed or authorized. Any compensation, claimed by the contractor
on account of emergency work, shall be determined by agreement.
3. 8. 7 Character of Workmcn and Equipment
The contractor shall employ only competent and efficient laborers,
s mechanics, or artisans; and whenever, in the opinion of the engineer, any
employe is or becomes unsatisfactory for :he work assigned to the employee
the cot ❑actor shall, upon request of the engineer, remove him from the work
and not ,employ him again upon it.
The methods, equipment and appliances used and the quantity and
quality of the personnel employed on the work shall be such as will produce
a satisfactory quality of work and shall be adequate to complete the contract
within the time limit specified.
Only efficient and competent laborers and foremen shall be em-
ployed on force account work, and only tools and equipment in good condition
and suitable for the work shall be used. The engineer shall have authority to
dismiss from force account work any laborer or foreman whose efficiency is
in his opinion below that of the average of the contractor's forces, and to
refuse to allow the use of tools and equipment which, in his opinion, are not
suitable for the work. Labor_.s and foremen dismissed and/or tools and
equipment rejecte6 shagl oe replaced by the contractor to the satisfaction of
the engineer.
3. 8. 8 Temporary Suspension of the Work
The engineer shall have authority to suspend the work wholly or
in part for such period or periods as he may deem necessary, due to unsuit-
able weather or such other conditions as are cons'.dered unfavorable for the
prosecution of the work, or for such time as is necessary due to the failure
on the part of the contractor to carry out orde ^s given or to perform anv or
all provisions of the contract.
If it should become necessary to stop work for an indefinite period
the contractor shall store all materials in such manner that they will not ob-
struct or impede the traveling public unnecessarily nor become damaged in
any way, and he shall take every precaution to pre•,ent damage or deteriora-
tion of the work performed, provide suitable drainage, etc cetera, and erect

the premises with his materials.
The contractor shall not load or permit any part of a structure
which he is constructing under this contract to be loaded with a weight that
will endanger its safety, nor shall he use any such structure for any purpose
without the approval of the engineer.
The contractor shall enforce the engineer's instructions regarding
signs, advertisements, fires and smoking.

In ca3e the terms of any subcontract are, in the opinion of the
engineer, unfair to the subcontractor or otherwise unsatisfactory from the
standpoint of the owner, or in case the work being done or to be done under
any subcontract is not conducted in a manner satisfactory to the engineer,
the contractor shall, upon written notice to taus effect, cause such subcon-
tract to be terminated and the subcontractor and his employees to be re-
moved from the work. Any lose or damage that may be suffered, on account
of such action shall be borne by the contractor.
The contractor ag-ees that he is as fully responsible to the cwt.ir
s for the acts and omissions of his subcontractors and of persons eiher directly s
or indirectly employed by them, as he is for the acts and omissions of his
own employees. Nothing contained in the contract documents shall create any
contractural relation between any subcontractor and the owner.
Insofar as is practicable, the contractor shall make payment for
subcontract work in the same units and on the same basis of meas,.rement
as apply under the main contract. The owner will not be responsible for
loss resulting from the contractor's failure to do so. In making payments
to subcontractors the contractor shall protect himself against possibility of
overpayment, and he shall assume such losses as may result from overpayment.
The subcontracting of any or all of the work to be done will in no way
relieve the contractor of any part of his responsibility under the contract. The
contractor shall have on the work at all times a qualified and capable super-
intendent whose duty shall be to direct and coordinate the operations of the
subcontractors and to see that the orders of the engineer are carried out
promptly and intelligently. Failure of the contractor to control the work of
the subcontractors to the satisfaction of the engineer will result in the issuance
of orders requiring the cancellation of the subcontracts nd the removal of the
subcontractors from the work.
3. B. 3 Limitations of Operations
Operations on the various units or portions cf the work shall be
begun at the times and points designated by the engineer and shall be pro-
secuted between such limits as he may establish. No part of the work shall
be undertaken without his approval, and no work shall be carried on contrary
to his instructions.
In case of a dispute arising between twn or more contractors en-
gaged on the same work as to the respective rights of each under the speci-
fications, the engineer shall determine the matters at issue and shall define
the respective rights of the various interests involved, in order to secure
the completion of all parts of the work in general harmony and with satis-
factory results, and his decision. shali be final and binding on all parties
concerned.

a. Cast Iron Pipe. Cast iron pipe for use in water systems shall
conform. with Federal Specifications WW-P-421-A as regards dimensions,
weights and tolerances on sizes 4" to 24" in diameter inclusive.
b. Asbestos-Cement Pam. Transits Water Pipe, or an approved
equal shall be supplied where asbestos-cement pipe is specified.
c. Ocher Pipe. In some instances coated steel pipe, concrete
cylinder pipe, or other special pipe may be required. Detailed specifications
for the particular pipe indicated will appear on the plans or elsewhere in
Part IV.
Unless otherwise specifically provided, pay quantities for pipe will t
oe on the basis of itr overall horizontal length as laid, without deductions for
the length of valves or fit.ings which may be included in the end-to end measure-
ment of a continuous section of pipe. Where pipe is laic or, a continuous slope
greater than 10%a for a distance greater than 100 feel payment will be made
upon the average slope distance between 100 foot stations.
WW-16 JOINTS AND FITTINGS
Specifications for the joining of water pipe will be rigidly enforced
and the ins ivertent passing of any defective work shall not relieve the Contractor
of his responsibility to complete a line which will b water-tight under test and
operating conditions. The type of joints and fittings as well as the method of
payment for fittings shall be as specified elsewhere in Part IV or the proposal.
WW• 17 PIPE HANDLING AND LAYING
The methods en.; -yed it handling and placing of pipe, fittings, and
equipment shall be such as to insure that the pipe, fittings, or equipment after
they are placed, tested, and permanently covered by backfilling are in as
goo9 condition as they were when shipped from the manufacturer's plant.
Should damage uccur to the pipe, repairs satisfactory to the Engineer shall
be made.
W W- 18 PIPE ANCHORAGE
At places designated on the plans or required oy the Engineer the
Contractor shal- furnish and place concrete anchorages or thrust blocks for
the pipe or otherwise. The volume used at any place will be small and form
requirements slight. Payment for such concrete anchorages will be made on
the basis of a lamp sum for each such anchorage required or included in the
price for the pipe in place as indicated by the proposa;.
Where valves or fittings are provided for future connections they
shall be securely anchored to the main by means of hydrant shackles or by

rshall be net less than 10 feet long. Tunnels shall not be narrower than the
width of ;he trench, and shall allow at least two (L) feet of clearance over the
top of the bells of the pipe at the midpoint between cuts with the roof sloped
upwards therefrom to tunnel ends at a rate of approximately three (3) inches
per foot to facilitate the proper placement of the backfill and inspection of the
work. The trench bottom in tunnels must be accurately shaped and graded
t and methods shall be adopted to place and join pipes with results equivalent
to those obtained in open trenches. Special tools must be provided and used
ex to place and temp backfill, and the opening around and over the pipe must be
completely filled with well-compacted material. If the nature of the excavated
material is such that it cannot be readily compacted. the Contractor shall, at
s his own expense, furnish ai.d place sand in the tunnel backfill. s
WW-14 SHEETING AND BRACING
The Contractor shall furnish, place, and maintain such sheeting and
bracing as may be required to support the sides of the trench and prevent any
movement therein which might damage ci delav the work or cause injury to
street surface or adjacent property, and as necessary to provide full safety
for workmen and the public. If in the opinion of the Engineer any timbering is
inadequate he may order additional supports which must be furnished and
placed, but compliance with such orders or failure of the Engineer to give
them shall not release the Contractor from hi.. esponsibility in respect to
the adequate maintenance of trenches. If necessary to preserve a suitable
grade for the pipe, the trench shall be close-sheeted with tongue and groove
or lapped sheeting which shall be driven far encu,h below grade to prevent
the inflow of material from outside the trench lines "transverse bulkheads
may also be required to prevent movement along the line of the trench.
Unless expressly ordered by the Engineer. the Contractor shall re-
move all sheeting and bracing from the trench before or during the backfilling
operations. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the safety of the street, water
line, public utilities, or private property requires •.hat any portion of the
material be left in the trench, the Engineer shall so order in writing, and
shall designate particularly what shall be i:ft in place. Sheeting left in the
trench shall be cut off about two feet below the surface of the ground.
Lumber left in the trench on written order of 'he Engineer, and only
such, shall be paid for under the appropriate item of the contract price sched-
ule. Any timbering left in tunnel shall be at the option of the Contractor with
the approval of the Engineer and no payment will be made therefor.
W W-15 WATER PIPE
Pipe used for water lines shall be of the type and strP,npth designated
on the planet, elsewhere in Part IV, or in the proposal and to the extent there-
in specified or shown, and shall conform to the appropriate specifications in
this section.

b. Measurement of Trench Excavation, The cost to the Owner for
construction of water lines complete shall be covered by the unit prices named
in the contract. All costs for bell hole excavation, bracing, sheeting, pumping,
compaction of backfill, disposal of excess material from excavations, mainten-
ance of trench and surfaces of backfill, and all material, labor or services of
whatsoever nature connected with excavation shall be covered by the contract
price for excavation_ Unless specifically indicated otherwise elsewhere in
Part IV of the proposal, payment for trench ercavation shall be made on a
lineal foot basis. Measurement of trench for excavation payment will be based
on the horizontal distance of trench except where the slope of the pipe is 10%
s or greater for a continuous distance of greater than 100 feet, then the distance '
will be measured upon the average slope between stations of 100 feet.
c. Excavation Below Grade. If the bottom of the trench at grad,
in unsuitable material, the Engineer may order excavation below grade and
refilling to grade with select material. Payment for removing material below
grade and refilling will be made under the terms of "extra work" unless speci-
fied elsewhere in Part IV and/or indicated otherwise by the proposal. Excava-
tion below grade which is made inadvertently or without authority shall be re-
stored to grade by backfilling with sand at the expense of the Contractor.
d. Classification of Excavation. Unless specified elsewhere in
Part IV and/or indicated otherwise by the proposal, th.ere will be no classifi-
cation of excavated materials and the term "excavation" shall include all mate-
rials excavated or removed regardless of the type, character, composition or
condition of the material so excavated, and shall further include all debris,
junk, broken concrete and all other materials within the excavation limits.
e. Wet Excavation. Adequate pumping equipment shall he provided
to handle and dispose of water without damage : . adjacent property. Water in.
the trench shall not be allowed to flow through the pipe while construction work
is in progress or until special permission to do Be has been given by the Engi-
neer. An adequate screed shall beprovided to prevent the entrance of objec-
tionable material into the water line.
The Contractor shall ascertain to his own satisfaction the extent to
which water may occur, the nature of the material in which it will appe-'r, and
the extent to which such occurrence of water shall affect his bid. All costs to
the Contractor for pumping or otherwise dewatering excavations shall be ab-
sorbed in the unit price named for excavation and backfill. No extra of any
nature will be allowed by reason of water found to the excavation or that may
enter such excavation as run-off from storms.

WW-11 TREES, LAWNS AND SHRUBBERY
In any portion of the line crossing private property or parking strips,
the Contractor shall excavate the top soil, pile it separately from the subsoil,
and shall conduct the backfilling in a manner that will replace original conditions
as n:arly as practicable.
Where the water line is located in landscaped areas, the Contractor
shall remove and replace any trees, shrubs, plants or sod that cannot be pre-
served by construction of short tunnels. All shrubs or plants shall be balled a
by experienced men, carefully handled and kept watered, and replaced in their
ns original positions without damage. Sod shall be handled in a similar manner.
a , Wherever it cannot be saved Aad restored, the ground must be reseeded and
cared for until a stand of grass is reestablished, all at tho expense of the Con-
tractor. Plants or shrubs killed or destroyed must be paid for by the Contractor.
:t is the intent of this paragraph that the Contractor shall not meet unreasonable
demands of the property owners, but shall leave the surface and planting in
substantially the same condition as before the work is undertaken.
WW-lt TRENCH .XCAVATIO11
a. General. Water lines shall be laid in continuous open trench ex-
cept that, in spe, ial locations, short tunnels or the cut and tunnel method of
excavation may be used either under specific instructions of the Fngineer or at
the insistence of the Contractor with approval by the Engineer. The Engineer
may require the use of tunnels to pass obstructions �r to minimize :raffic
interference.
The Contractor shall not tear up a street or excavate any trench
until he has on hand all lumber, pipe and other material, and all equipment
necessary for the rapid completion of the work therein Except with special
permission from the Engineer to do so, not more than five hundred (500) feet
of trench shall be opened in advance of the completed work.
Trenches shall be excavated to lines and grades as staked, with
vertical walls and uniform widths consistent with the sizes of pipe to be laid.
The minimum trench width shall be adequate to pe rmit proper laying of pipe
and making of joints, and to allow for suitable inspection, as determined by
the Engineer. Minimum trench depth shall permit At least 3 feet of cover
over the pipe.
Excavated material shall be piled at the side of the trench t -ere it
will give the best protection for the work and minimi-e interference with
traffic. Space shall be allowed for a man to walk and work between the edge
of the trench and the toe of the slopes of the spoil pllcs. Where excavation
is done by a trenching machine, it shall not be carried deeper than the
undisturbed surface required for bedding.

responsibility of the Contractor to ascertain for himself the conditions which
exist with regard to old pavements or wearing surfaces and all coats due to
their existence shall be absorbed in the unit prices of his bid.
WW-IC REPLACING PAVEMENTS, SIDEWAL!'S, ETC.
Where hard surface pavement has been cut, the Contractor shall
either provide and maintain a temporary surface of gravel or maintain a plank
surface across ti,cuc c,..L _c required by the Engineer from the time the back- s
filling is done until the pavement is replaced. Plank shall not be less than
three (3) inch material, shall be cut to fit, and be laid flush wit.i the pavement
surface on the roughly compacted bed of backfilled material.
All pavement cuts shall be replaced in kind, in full conformity with
the corresponding standard specifications of the Owner; new materials shall
be used and the finished repair shall be satisfactory to the Engineer. In the
case of gravel surfacing, the original material may be used if suitable for the
purpose. It is the intention of these specifications that all roadways sha" be
restored to their original condition as nearly as possible. Any pavement or
roadway surfacing not immediately over or adjacent to the trench, but which
is disturbed or damaged as the result of operations of the Contract, r shall
be repaired or :eplaced by the Contractor at his own eari,se and to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
Sidewalks, curbing, pipe from street inlets, drains, and other exist-
ing improvements which ere disturbed or damaged shall be replaced to the
satisfaction of the Engineer and in such manner as to serve as satisfactorily
as in their t riginal condition.
The cutting and replacement of street surfacing shall be paid for in
an amount which shall be based on the length actually cut and replaced along
'S,• ci nterline of the water line and a fixed width equal to the inside nominal
diameter of the pipe plus two feet (l'-0"). Sidewall• cutting and repair shall
be paid for in the same manner, with additional allowances for squaring out
the blocks if this is required. P ,ment for cutting and replacing curbs shall
be the total length across the try h of the width specified above when pave-
ment is cut. If the trench crosses the curbing diagonally the measurement
will also be the diagonal distance.
The Contractor shall be responsible for the -eplaced pavement for a
period of one (1) year and should it fail due to poor workmanship or materials
or settlement of the backfill under the replaced pavement he shall make repairs
at his expense.

pipe shall be made completely tight. Shoald any defects appear in the pipe or
its joints (or couplings) the necessary repairs shall be made, and the line re-
tested until it shall meet this requirement.
s After all joints are apparently tight and there is no evidence of leak- •
age the test pressure must be maintained sufficiently long to permit the Engi-
neer to make a final inupection before authorizing the completion of backfilling
operations.

tain yr -v little material that would be retained on a acre ,n with one-half (1/2)
inch round openings and screening may be required by the Engineer to remove
oversize material. It shall be well-graded with at least sufficient fines to fill
the voids and to facilitate compaction by the use of water. If so ordered by
the Engineer, coarse graded rock free of fines shall be placed to the depth
specified in lieu of sand as specified above.

of six (6) inches over the top of the pipe must be hand-placed and firmly
tamped under and around the pipe. The remainder of the trench may be
filled by power-operated tools. On improved streets and where the type of
backfill material will permit the backfili must be settled from top to bottom
by being flooded with water. The Owner will furnish the necessary water at
their nearest hydrant without cost (otherwise the Contractor shall furnish
water at his own cost) but the Contractor must furnish hose, labor, and ser-
vice � necessary for its conveyance to and use in the trench settlement opera-
tions Water may be used only under such conditions and at such times as

pipe are laid to proper line and grade and the joints have been made, the
trench between joints may be backfilled for its entire length to a depth of
not less than six (6) inches cover except that no backfilling shall be done in
the immediate vicinity of joints. The joints s hall be left exposed until after
the pipe has satisfied the pressure test for leakage as hereinafter provided.
Immediately following such test the joints shall be covered and the entire
backfilling completed.
Where trench excavat on necessitates the removal and replacement
of hard-surface pavement, the backfilling shall be given special care to the
en : that thorough compaction will be secured in an effort to avoid its future
settlement. The Contractor shall be responsible for the support of the re-
placement pavement and, at his own expense, shall repair ary damage caused
by settlement which may occur within one year after completicn of the work.

p 3. 5. la Authority and Dr.ties of Inspectors
tM —
Inspectors shall be authorized to inspect all work done and all
M materials furnished. Such inspection may extend to all or any part of the
t. work and to the prep- -ation, fabrication, or manufacture of the materials
to be used. It is th .uty of the inspector to report to the engineer as to the
w progress of the work and the manner ir, which it is being performed, also to
report whenever it appears that the material furnished or the work performed
by the contractor fails to fulfill the requirements of the plans and specifications,
and to call to the attention of the contractor any such failure.
In case of any dispute arising between the contractor and the in-
spector as to materials furnished or manner of performing the work, the
inspector shall have authority to reject materials or suspend the work until
the question at issue can be referred to and decided by the engineer. The
inspector is not authorized to revoke, alter, enlarge, relax or release any
requirements of the plans and specifications, nor to approve or accept any
portion of .he work, nor to issue instructions contrary to the plans and speci-
fications.
The performance of work under inspection shall in no way relieve
the contractor from his obligation to perform the same in strict accordance
with the requirements of the specifications nor from his responsibility in
case work is not so performed.
3. 5. 15 ]nspectiun
The engineer or his representatives shall be allowed access to all
parts of the work at all times and shall be furnished with every reasonable
facility for ascertaining whether or not the work as performed is in accord-
ance with the requirements and intent of the plans and specifications. The
contractor shall cut and replace with new materials, at his own expense,
such samples as are customarily required for testing purposes. If the en-
gineer requests it, the contractor shall, at any time before acceptance of
the work, remove or uncover such portions of the finished work as may be
directed. After examination, the contractor shall restore said portions of
the work to the standard required by the specifications. Should the work
GC- 13
thus exposed or examined prove acceptable, the uncovering or removing, and
the replacing of the covering or the making good of the parts removed, shall
be paid for as "extra work", but should the work so exposed or examined prove
unacceptable, the unco ring or removing, and replacing of the covering and
the making good of the parts removed, shall be at the contractor'a expense.
3. S. 16 Unauthorized and Defective Work
Any defective work, whether the result of poor workmanship, use
's of defective materials, damage through carelessness, or of any other cause,
found to exist prior to acceptance of or final payment for the work, ghat: be
removed immediately and replaced by work and materials which shall con-
form to the specifications, or shall be remedied otherwise in an acceptable s
manner authorized by the engineer. These provisions shall have full effect
regardless cf the fact that the defective work may have been done or the
defective materials used with the full knowledge of the inspector. The fact
that the inspector in charge may have previously overlooked such defective
work shall not constitute an acceptance of any part of it.
Work done contrary to or regardless of the instructions of the en-
gineer, work done beyond the lines shown on the plans or as given, except as
herein provided, or any extra work done without authority, will be considered
as unauthorized and will not be paid for by the owner. Work so done may be
ordered removed or replaced at the contractor's expense.
3. 5. 19 Disputed Claims
In any case where the contractor deems extra compensation is
due him for work or materials not clearly covered in the contract or not
ordered by the engineer as an extra as defined herein, the contractor shall
in writing notify the engineer of his intention to mare claim for such com-
pensation before he begins the work on which he bases the claim. If such
notification is not given or the engineer is not afforded proper facilities by
the contractor for keeping strict account of actual cost, then the contractor
hereby agrees to wai /e the claim for extra compensation. Such notice by the contractor and the fact that the engineer has kept account of the cost as
aforesaid, shall not in any way be construed as proving the validity of the
claim. In case the claim is found to be just, it shall be allowed and paid
for under a supplemental agreement to be entered into between the parties
to the contract.

This submission shall be compiled by the contractor and approved
by the engineer before any of the equipment is ordered.
s+
Each data sheet or catalog in the submission shall be indexed
according to specification section and paragraph for easy reference.
After written approval, this submission shall become a part of
the contract, and may not be deviated from except upon written approval of
the engineer.
■
Catalog data for equipment approved by the engineer shall not in
.my case supersede the contract documents. The approval of the engineer
shall not relieve the contractor from responsibility for deviations from
drawings or specifications, unless he has in writing called the engineer's
r+ attention to such deviations at the time of submission and secured the
�.. engineer's written approval, nor shall it relieve him from responsibility
for errors of any sort in the items submitted. The contractor shall check
!'e and approve the work described by the catalog data with the contract documents
M. for deviations and errors prior to submission to the engineer for approval.
It shall be the responsibility of the -ontractor to insure that items
to be fu....shed fit the space available. He shall make necessary field meas-
urements, including those for connections, and shall order such sizes and
shapes of equipment that the final installation shall suit the true intent and
meaning of the drawings and specifications.
Where equipment requiring different arrangement of connections
from those shown is approved, it shall be the responsibility 4 the contractor
to install the equipment to operate properl/, and in harmony with the intent
of the drawings and specifications, and to make all changes in the work re-
quired by the different arrangement of connections.
Upon approval of the equipment by the engineer the contractor shall
furnish six copies of catalog data of all process equipment or comp')nents
thereof together with operating and t.iaintenance instructions.
3. 5. 8 Cooperation with Other Contractors
The contractor shall conduct his operations so as to interfere as
little as possible with those of other contractors or subcontractors on or
near the work. It is expressly understood that the owner has the right ar.d
may award other contracts "i connection with the work so long as it does
not interfere with the work under this contract.
Where une contractor's operations are within the limits or adjoin
the operations of another contractor, each shall be responsible to the other
for any damage, injury, lose, or expense which may be suffered on account
of interference of operations, neglect or failure to finish work : t the proper
time, or of any other cause.

The contractor shall at all times have a competent superintendent or
foreman who shall he acceptable to the engineer and capable of reading and
thoroughly understanding the plans and specifications as his agent on the work,
who shall have authority -o receive instructions from tie engineer or his
authorized representativcs. The superintendent or foreman shall have fu11
authority to execute the orders or directions of the engineer without delay and
to supply promptly such materials, tools, plant, equipment, and labor as may
be required, regardless of whether or not the work it to be performed by the
s contractor's own forces or those of a subcontractor. The fact that an approved s
subcontractor is perfo-ming any portion of the work shall not relieve the
contractor of this requirement.
3. 5. 10 Information Regarding Work
The contractor shall furnish the engineer every rea- ,Is facility
necessary for obtaining such information as he may desire i ,: -ling the
nature and quality of the materials used or to be used and the prog-ess and
manner of the work.
The engineer shall be allowed access ac all times to the books and
records of the contractor, and the contractor shall furnish him a.il data nec-
essary for the determination of the actual cost of all or any part of the work.

s �
Any written notice to the contractor which may be required by law c
or by the provisions of the specifications may be served on said contractor
or his representative, either personally or by mailing to the address given ..
in the contract or by leaving the same at said address. stt
3. 5. 12 Notice by Contractors '
x�
Wherever in the specifications the contractor is required to notify
the engineer concerning the progress of the work, or concerning any com-
plaint which he may have to make, or for any other reason, it shall be under-
stood that such notification is to be trade in writing, delivered to the engineer
or his representative in person, or mailed to the office of the engineer at the
address given in the official "Notice to Contractors".

w All drawings submitted to the engineer for approval shall be one of
the following sizes: 8 1/2 x 11 inches, 11 x 17 inches, or 22 x 36 inches.
Shop drawings for structural steel items, structures or miscellaneous
iron items shall consist of shop details, erection and other working plans show-
ing dimensions, s'.zes of material, lists of field rivets and bolts, details and
-. other information necessary for the complete fabrication and erection of all such
metal worx.
«+ Shop drawings for mechanical equipment and other structures or
's equipment shall consist of such detailed plans as may be reasonably required s
for the successful prosecution of the work and which are not included in the
plans furnished by the engineer. 'These may include plans for falsework, bracing,
centering and form work, masonry lay-out diagrams, bending diagrams for
metal reinforcement, shop details for precast concrete items, and installation
drawings or instructions.
It is expressly understood that the approval by the engineer of work-
ing drawings or shop drawings submitted by the contractor or his agents will
not relieve the contractor from responsibility for errors in details, dimensions,
or quantity or strength of such materials. Material improperly fabricated shall
be replaced or modified at the contractor's expense.
The contractor shall submit with such promptness as to cause no
delay in his own work or in that of any other contractor, not less than two
copies, checked and approved by him, of all shop or setting drawings and
schedules required for the work of the various trades. The engineer shall check
and approve, with reasonable promptness, such schedules and drawings only
for conformance with the design concept of the project and compliance with the
information given in the contract documents making desired corrections, in-
cluding all necessary corrections relating to effects on design. The contractor
shall make any corrections required by the engineer, file with him not less
than six corrected copies, one of which if requested shall be a reproducible
transparency, and furnish such additional copies as needed should he wish more
than one approved copy returned for his use. The engineer's approval of such
drawings or schedules shall not relieve the contractor from responsibility for
deviations from drawings or specifications, unless he has in writing called the
engineer's attention to such deviations at the time of submission and sec .red
the engineer's written approval, nor shall it relieve him from responsibility
for errors of any sort in shop drawings or schedules.
The contract bid prices shall include the cost of furnishing all shop
and installation drawings and the contractor will be allowed no extra com-
pensation for such drawings.
The contractor shall keep one copy of all drawings (including ap-

3. S. 5 Qualityof f Equi ment and Materials
in order to establish standards of quality, the angineer may have, in
the detailed specifications referred to certain p •cducts by name and catalog
number. This procedure is not to be construed as eliminating from com-
petition other products of equal or better quality by other manufacturers.
The words "approved equal" shall be considered following all such listings
regardless of wnether or not they so appear.
s The contractor shall furnish to the engineer the complete list of
proposed desired substitutions in sufficient time prior to their use to give
the engineer adequate time for his review, together with such engineering
and catalog data as the engineer may require. Failure on the part of the
contractor to supply data to the engineer prior to ordering or using such
alternate material or equipment will not relieve the contractor of furnishing
acceptable material or equipment as required by the engineer.
The contractor shall abide by the engineer's judgement whey pro-
posed substitute materials or items of equipment are judged to be unaccept-
able and shall furnish the specified material or item of equipment in such
case. All proposals for substitutions shall be submitted in writing oy the
contractor and not by individual trades or material suppliers. The engineer
will approve or disapprove proposed substitutions in writing within a reason-
able time. No substitute materials shall be used unless approved in writing.
3. 5. 6 Specifications by Standard Designations
s
Whenever practicable, specifications will be made herein by desig-
nating certain published "standards" of recognized organizations. Abbrevia-
tions "A. S. T. M. " will be used to indicate the American Society for Testing
Materials and this will be followed by the officially published designation
number for the particular specification to which the reference applies. Other
standards will be indicated by the full name of the sponsoring organization or
by clearly recognized abbreviations. In all cases it shall be understood that
such references mean the designated specifications or the latest revision
thereof.
All material, equipment and devices not specifically covered by such
"standards" as indicated above, these specifications, by the plans or by addenda
shall be subject to the approval of the engineer to determine the suitability for
the service intended.
3. 5. 7 Equipment Approval Data
The contractor shall furnish two copies of complete catalog data for
the manufactured items of equipment and all components to be used in the work,
including specific performance data, material description, rating, capacity,
working pressure, material gage or thickness, brand name, catalog number
and general type as requested by the engineer.
GC_10
s that any such equipment and materia'. of all kinds that is not removed, as
herein provided, within thirty (30) days after the date upon which all other
work to be done under the contract is completed, or within such longer time
;y as may be agreed upon in writing between the contractor and the engineer,
shall become the property of the owner and may be used or otherwise dis-
posed of by the owner without obligation to the contractor or to any party to
whom he may transfer title.
Nothing in the above clause shall be construed as relieving the
contractor from his obligation to clean up the right of way and the sites of
his operations and to remove and dispose of debris, waste materials, etc. ,
in accord with other provisions of the contract.
s GC-05 CONTROL OF THE WORK s
3. 5. 1 Authority of the Engineer
To prevent misunderstandings, disputes and litigation it is ex-
pressly understood and hereby agreed to by all of the parties to the contract,
including the surety, that the engineer shall, in all cases, determine any
and all questions which may arise concerning the quality, quantity and
acceptability of materials furnished and work performed; the manner and
rate of progress of the performance of all work; the interpretation of plans
and specifications; and the amounts and classifications of the several kinds
' of wort: and materials; and hie estimates and decisions in these matters
shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon all parties to the contract.
The engineer shall be the owner's representative during the con-
struction period and shall observe the work in process on behalf of the
owner; that said work will not be considered completed until approved by
the engineer and accepted by the owner; that the contractor shall at all
times carry out and fulfill the instructions and directions of the engineer
in so far as the work to be performed under the contract is concerned; and
that in the event the contractor fails to carry out andiulfill such instructions
and directions, the owner may refuse to make any partial or final payments
to the contractor so long as such instructions and directions are not complied
with.
In case of the termination of the employment of the engineer, the
owner shall appoint a capable and reputable professional engineer whose
status under the contract shall be that of the former engineer.
3. 5. 2 Deviation from the Plans
No deviation from the plans or the approved working and/or shop
drawings is permissible except on written order of the engineer.
3. 5. 3 Interpretation of Contract, Specifications and Plans
In cases of conflict in the requirements and provisions as set out by
the contract, the specifications, or the plans, such conflict shall be
reconciled by the acceptance of the following order of precedence for the
GC-07
various contract documents; (I) the contract document bearing the signature
of the owner and the contractor; (2) the written proposal of the contractor;
(3) the plans, including notes written thereon; and (4) Parts 1, I1, III, and IV
of the specifications. -n general, Parts I and IV shall take precedence over
those of Parts II and III in case there should be conflict between them.
The apparent silence of the specifications and plans as to any
detail or the apparent omission from them of a detailed description concern-
ing any point, shall be regarded as meaning that only the best general practice
is to prevail and that only material and workmanship of first quality are to be
used.
s The anitractor shall take no advantage of any errors or omissions s
in the specifications and plans or of any discrepancies in or between same;
but where such errors, omissions or discrepancies occur, he will be governed '
by the apparent intent of the specifications and plans and by orders of the en-
gineer. Work performed by the contractor as a result of an error or omission
in the plans and specifications when such error or omission is not called to
the attention of the engineer shall be at the contractor's risk.
3. S. 4 Plans and Working Drawings
The contractor will be supplied with six sets of specifications and
the, prints of the drawings prepared by the engineer showing the project in
detail. The contractor may obtain any additional prints required from the
engineer by compensating the engineer for the cost of printing involved.
Figured dimensions on the drawings will be used in preference
to scaling the drawings. Where the work of the contractor is affected by
finish dimensions, these shall be determined by the contractor at the site,
and he shall assume responsibility therefor.
General drawings showing such details as are necessary to give
a comprehensive idea of the construction contemplated will be included in
the plans; but the contractor shall submit to the engineer for approval such
additional shop details, settings, schedules and such other working drawings
as may be required for the construction of any part of the work, and prior
to the approval of such plans any work done or material ordered shall be at
the contractor's risk.
All shop or working drawings shall be made in such manner that
clear and legible blueprint copies can be made from them. Any drawings
submitted for approval which are, in the engineer's opinion, carelessly
prepared, erroneous or unchecked, will be returned to the contractor for
redrawing and checking, trd after such redrawing and checking shall bo
resubmitted to the engineer.

do all things necessary to perform and to complete, according to the speci-
fications and plans, the work to be done under the contract. This shall be
understood to include, in addition to the work specifically called for in the
plans and specifications, the performance of much extra, additional, and
incidental work as may appear in the sole judgement of the owner to be nec-
essary for the completion of the work contemplated in a substantial, work-
manlike, and otherwise satisfactory manner.
3. 4. 2 Increased or Decreased Quantities
s The right is reserved by the owner, without impairing the contract a
to make such increases and decreases in the quantities of the work as may
be considered necessary to complete fully and satisfactorily t.ie work in-
cluded in the contract. The contractor shall have no claim for damages or
for anticipated profits on account of any portion of the work that may be
omitted, provided such omission shall not thereby reduce the amount of the
contract by more than ten per cent (10%) provided, however, that the owner
shall have the privilege of deleting any item or items of any schedule in its
entirety and said ten per cent of permissible reduction then shall apply only
to the aggregate contract price for the remaining items. Deletion of entire
items generally shall be made when the contract i^ executed but in czse the
contractor shall have performed some work on account of any item which is
subsequently deleted, he shall be paid therefor on the basis of extra work.
3. 4. 3 Alterations in Details of Construction
The engineer, during the progress of the work, may alter any of
the details of construction as may be found expedient or suitable; such al-
terations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the
contractor agrees to accept and execute the work as alterod the same as
if it had been a part of the original contract, The compensation to the con-
tractor in such cases shall be determined as specified for Additional Work
should additional requirements be made of the contractor or by negotiation
if the work is reduced.
3. 4. 4 Extra Work
Upon the written order of the engineer, the contractor shall per-
form such additional or extra work that may or may not be included under
or covered by contract prices, as may be necessary for the satisfactory
completion of the project. If the work is of a kind for which a specification
is given herein, it shall be performed in accordance with that specification
subject to such supplemental or additional specifications, plans and instruc-
tions as the engineer may issue. If the work is of a kind not covered by a
specification given herein it shall be performed in accordance with accepted
practice for the class of work intended and in accordance with such plans as
may be issued by the engineer.
GC-05
�A
The owner shall have the option of paying for additional or extra
work at the stipulated unit prices or stipulated lump sum prices given in
the proposal form or on a force account or cost plus basis described in
Article 3. 4. 6 of these specifications. Payment for extra work will be made
only when the work involved has been authorized by the engineer, in writing
prior to performance of the work.
3. 4. 5 Protection of Work During Suspension
If it should become necessary, because of the lateness of the season
or any other reason to stop the work, then the contractor shall open proper
drainage ditches; erect temporary structures where necessary; prepare the
work so there will be minimum interference with traffic, it the work is on a a
public right of way; and take every precaution to prevent any damage or un-
reasonable deterioration of the work during the time the work is closed. If
upon reopening the work, it is found that any such damages or deterioration
has occurred, due to the lack of said precautions then, and in that event, the
contractor shall correct all such conditions at his own expense.
3. 4. 6 Final Trimming of Work
The work to be done under the contract shall include such repair
work as may be necessary to overcome such deterioration as may occur
on some portions of the work while other portions of the work are being per-
formed, The project shall be in a neatly trimmed and well-finished condition
throughout at the time of completion and accept:nce.
3. 4. 7 Final Cleaning Up
Upon completion of the work and before acceptance and final pay-
ment shall be made, the contractor shall clean up the right of way and all
properties on which he has operated in the construction of the project, in-
cluding removing or burning all discarded materials, rubbish and debris.
He shall tear down, remove or burn all construction plant structures erected
by or for him, or by or for his subcontractors or employees on the right of
way or on property controlled by the owner. He shall do all things necessary
to put the whole of the right of way and such other property controlled by the
owner as he may occupy in a neat, clean and orderly condition.
3. 4. 8 Removal of Contractor's Equipment and Materials

The true intent of the plans and specifications is to provide for
the execution and completion in every detail of the project or work des-
cribed in *he special provisions and contract. Except as otherwise
specifically provided, the contractor sha' furnish al' labor, tools, im-
plements, machinery, supplies materials, and incidentals, and shall
Performance of the work to be done under the contract shall be
co-ainenced within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice to proceed by
tie contractor, unless later commencement of the work is authorized by the
+vf .neer.
From the time of commencement of the work to the time of comple-
Von, the work shall be prosecuted as vigorously and as continuously as weather
conditions will permit and always in accordance with a schedule which will
r ins cre completion •Hithin th 3pecified time limit, due allowances bein ; made
s li for possible unfavorab:c conditions, interference, breakdowns, and other
causes of delay. There shall be no voluntary shut down or slowing of opera-
tions without prior approval of tl.e engineer.
If it appears to the engineer that the rate of progress ' eing mad- is
p„ not such as will insure the completion of the work within the specified time
limit, it shall be within the authorit,. c f the owner, upon notification by the
engineer, W require the contractor to provide additional equipment and men
and to take such other steps as may be necessary to insure completion as
specified.
3. 8. 2 Subletting or Assignment of Contract
The contractor agrees not t,, assign, :ransfer, con•,ey, or otherwise
dispose of the contract or his right, title, or interest therein either in whole
or in part, or his power to execute such contract to any other person, firm,
or corporation, or to subcontract any part of the work without the previous
consent i writing of the owner. In this connection, it is to be understood
that the owner will not approve of the subcontracting of more than fifty (50)
per cent of the work to be done under the contract.
It is understood and agreeu that, if any part of the work to be done
