location in the vicinity of S. 153rd Street.
The contractor will be directed to furnish all the necessary
fittings and material to make the connections to the existing
12-inch watermain at the south margin of S. 153rd Street as

The contractor will be further directed to notify the City
Engineer 10 days prior to the time when the connections are to

supply shut-oft is 24 hours.
Assuming that the contractor will have the total length of pipe-
line up to the connecting points laid in place, tested ane dis-

!N B4.09 Retention of Defective Work
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the defective work is not of
., sufficient magnitude or importance to make the work dangerous or un-
desirable, or if, in the opinion of the Engineer, the removal of such

,,, W_terial or equipment. The use of any material or equipment so

The post of material inspection and testing in the vicinity of
the work unless specified otherwise herein, will be borne by the lluni-
cipality. If the inspection and testing of materials in the vicinity
of the work is not practicabla, the Contractor may request such in-
spection and testing take place w`. the point of manufacture. In such
