performance was concurrently caused by the Owner and Contractor, Contractor shall be
entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Time for that portion of the delay or failure of

information concerning the dispute.
3.7 DAMAGES FOR FAILURE TO ACHIEVE TIMELY COMPLETION
A. Liquidated Damages
1. Reason for Liquidated Damages: Timely performance and completion of the Work is
essential to Owner and time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the
essence. Owner will incur serious and substantial damages if Substantial Completion
of the Work does not occur within the Contract Time. However, it would be difficult if
not impossible to determine the exact amount of such damages. Consequently,
provisions for liquidated damages are included in the Contract Documents.

Contract No. CAG-22-012 00 72 00 - 13 of 54
Coulon Memorial Beach Park Trestle Bridge Replacement 28 January 2022
2. Calculation of Liquidated Damages amount: The liquidated damage amounts set
forth in the Contract Documents will be assessed not as a penalty, but as liquidated
damages for breach of the Contract Documents. This amount is fixed and agreed
upon by and between the Contractor and Owner because of the impracticability and
extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the Owner would in
such event sustain. This amount shall be construed as the actual amount of
damages sustained by the Owner, and may be retained by the Owner and deducted
from periodic payments to the Contractor.
3. Contractor responsible even if Liquidated Damages assessed: Assessment of
liquidated damages shall not release Contractor from any further obligations or
liabilities pursuant to the Contract Documents.
B. Actual Damages
Calculation of Actual Damages: Actual damages will be assessed for failure to achieve
Final Completion within the time provided. Actual damages will be calculated on the basis
of direct architectural, administrative, and other related costs attributable to the Project from
the date when Final Completion should have been achieved, based on the date Substantial
Completion is actually achieved, to the date Final Completion is actually achieved. Owner
may offset these costs against any payment due Contractor.

changed by a Change Order. Contractor shall include any request for a change in
the Contract Sum in its Change Order Proposal.
2. Owner fault or negligence as basis for change in Contract Sum: If the cost of

Section 00 72 00 – General Conditions
Contract No. CAG-22-012 00 72 00 - 37 of 54

concurrently caused by Contractor and Owner; or the change is caused by an act of
Force Majeure as defined in Section 3.05.
a. Notice and record keeping for equitable adjustment: A request for an equitable
adjustment in the Contract Sum shall be based on written notice delivered to
Owner within 7 Days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the request.
For purposes of this part, “occurrence” means when Contractor knew, or in its
diligent prosecution of the Work should have known, of the event giving rise to
the request. If Contractor believes it is entitled to an adjustment in the Contract
Sum, Contractor shall immediately notify Owner and begin to keep and maintain
complete, accurate, and specific daily records. Contractor shall give Owner
access to any such records and, if requested shall promptly furnish copies of
such records to Owner.

event giving rise to the request for an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum;
the nature of the impacts to Contractor and its Subcontractors of any tier, if any;
and to the extent possible the amount of the adjustment in Contract Sum
requested. Failure to properly give such written notice shall, to the extent
Owner’s interests are prejudiced, constitute a waiver of Contractor’s right to an
equitable adjustment.
c. Contractor to provide supplemental information: Within 30 Days of the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the request, unless Owner agrees in writing
to allow an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data, Contractor

above with additional supporting data. Such additional data shall include, at a
minimum: the amount of compensation requested, itemized in accordance with
the procedure set forth herein; specific facts, circumstances, and analysis that

damages claimed were actually a result of the act, event, or condition
complained of and that the Contract Documents provide entitlement to an
equitable adjustment to Contractor for such act, event, or condition; and
documentation sufficiently detailed to permit an informed analysis of the request
by Owner. When the request for compensation relates to a delay, or other
change in Contract Time, Contractor shall demonstrate the impact on the critical
path, in accordance with Section 7.03C. Failure to provide such additional
information and documentation within the time allowed or within the format
required shall, to the extent Owner’s interests are prejudiced, constitute a waiver
of Contractor’s right to an equitable adjustment.

paragraph 7.02D.
4. Fixed price method is default; Owner may direct otherwise: When Owner has
requested Contractor to submit a Change Order Proposal, Owner may direct
Contractor as to which method in subparagraph 3 above to use when submitting its
proposal. Otherwise, Contractor shall determine the value of the Work, or of a
request for an equitable adjustment, on the basis of the fixed price method.
B. Change Order Pricing – Fixed Price

use vibrators of the type designed to be placed directly in the
concrete, with a frequency of vibration not less than 7,000 impulses
per minute when in actual operation.
2. Provide a level of vibration such that the concrete becomes uniformly
plastic. Insert vibrators to a depth sufficient to vibrate the bottom of
each layer effectively, but do not penetrate partially hardened
concrete. Do not apply the vibrators directly to reinforcing steel
which extends into partially hardened concrete. Use intervals
between points of insertion between 2 feet and 3 feet.
3. Do not continue vibration in any one spot such that pools of
cementitious materials or cementitious materials and sand are
formed. In vibrating and finishing top surfaces which are exposed to
weather or wear, avoid drawing water or laitance to the surface. In
relatively high lifts, provide a top layer that is comparatively shallow
and a concrete mix as stiff as can be effectively vibrated into place
and properly finished.

Representative shall approve the condition of the subgrade and the
previously installed subgrade preparation and the installation of
subsurface drainage.
B. All equipment utilized to install or grade Planting Soils shall be wide track
or balloon tire machines rated with a ground pressure of 4 psi or less. All
grading and soil delivery equipment shall have buckets equipped with 6-
inch long teeth to scarify any soil that becomes compacted.
C. Prepare subgrades as follows, based on soil depth:
a. For areas with imported planting soil:
1. Scarify/Rip sub-grade soils 4-6” depth where not in conflict with
the critical root zone of trees to remain.
2. Leave ripped sub-grade loose and lumpy. Do no additional
grading to sub-grade prior to installing planting soil. Protect sub-
grades from compaction.
3. Install Planting Soil.
4. Rake smooth as required to remove clumps or mounds.
D. Install the Planting Soil in 6" or less lifts. Apply compacting forces to each
lift as required to attain the required compaction. Scarify the top of each lift
prior to adding more Planting Soil by dragging the teeth of a loader bucket
or backhoe across the soil surface to roughen the surface.
E. Phase work such that equipment to deliver or grade soil does not have to
operate over previously installed Planting Soil. Work in rows of lifts the
width of the extension of the bucket on the loader. Install all lifts in one row
before proceeding to the next. Work out from the furthest part of each bed
from the soil delivery point to the edge of each bed area.
F. Where possible place large trees first and fill Planting Soil around the root
ball.
G. Where travel over installed soil is unavoidable, limit paths of traffic to
reduce the impact of compaction in Planting Soil. Each time equipment
passes over the installed soil it shall reverse out of the area along the
same path with the teeth of the bucket dropped to scarify the soil. Avoid all
travel, including foot traffic, over wet soil.
H. The depths and grades shown on the drawings are the final grades after
settlement and shrinkage of the compost material. The Contractor shall
install the Planting Soil at a higher level to anticipate this reduction of

City of Renton Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park Trestle Bridge Replacement 28 January 2022
Planting Soil volume, taking into account the displacement of root balls
and container stock. A minimum settlement of approximately 10 - 15% of
the soil depth is expected. All grade increases are assumed to be as
measured prior to addition of surface Compost till layer, mulch, or sod.
I. Within the critical root zone of trees to remain, loosen existing soil to a
depth of 6" with an air spade. Protect roots from desiccation and damage.
Add 2" of planting soil to roughened grade and rake in to incorporate.
3.06 COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLED PLANTING SOIL
A. Compact installed Planting Soil to the compaction rates indicated and
using the methods approved for the soil mockup. Compact each soil lift as
the soil is installed.
B. Maintain moisture conditions within the Planting Soil during installation or
modification to allow for satisfactory compaction. Suspend operations if
the Planting Soil becomes wet. Apply water if the soil is overly dry.
C. Provide adequate equipment to achieve consistent and uniform
compaction of the Planting Soils. Use the smallest equipment that can
reasonably perform the task of spreading and compaction. Use the same
equipment and methods of compaction used to construct the Planting Soil
mockup.
D. Do not pass motorized equipment over previously installed and
compacted soil except as authorized below.
a. Light weight equipment such as trenching machines or motorized
wheel barrows is permitted to pass over finished soil work.
b. If work after the installation and compaction of soil compacts the soil to
levels greater than the above requirements, follow the requirements of
the paragraph "Over Compaction Reduction" below.
3.07 OVERCOMPACTION REDUCTION
A. Any soil that becomes compacted to a density greater than the specified
density and/or the density in the approved mockup shall be dug up and
reinstalled. This requirement includes compaction caused by other sub-
contractors after the Planting Soil is installed and approved. Compaction
of wet soils may require additional remediation, including removal and
replacement, as determined by the Owner's Representative. Any removal
and replacement of soil will be at no cost to the Owner.
B. Surface rototilling shall not be considered adequate to reduce over
compaction at levels 6 inches or greater below finished grade.

3.08 INSTALLATION OF CHEMICAL ADDITIVES
A. Following the installation of each soil and prior to fine grading and
installation of mulch layer, apply chemical additives as recommended by
the soil test, and appropriate to the soil and specific plants to be installed.
B. Types, application rates and methods of application shall be approved by
the Owner's Representative prior to any applications.
3.09 FINE GRADING
A. The Owner's Representative shall approve all rough grading prior to fine
grading, planting, and mulching.
B. Grade the finish surface of all planted areas to meet the grades shown on
the drawings, allowing the finished grades to remain higher (10 - 1 5% of
depth of soil modification) than the grades on the grading plan, as defined
in paragraph Planting Soil Installation, to anticipate settlement over the
first year.
C. Utilize hand equipment, small garden tractors with rakes, or small garden
tractors with buckets with teeth for fine grading to keep surface rough
without further compaction. Do not use the flat bottom of a loader bucket
to fine grade, as it will cause the finished grade to become overly smooth
and or slightly compressed.
D. Provide for positive drainage from all areas toward the existing inlets,
drainage structures and or the edges of planting beds. Adjust grades as
directed to reflect actual constructed field conditions of paving, wall and
inlet elevations. Notify the Owner's Representative in the event that
conditions make it impossible to achieve positive drainage.
E. Provide smooth, rounded transitions between slopes of different gradients
and direction. Modify the grade so that the finish grade before adding
mulch and after settlement is one or two inches below all paving surfaces
or as directed by the drawings.
F. Fill all dips and remove any bumps in the overall plane of the slope. The
tolerance for dips and bumps in shrub and ground cover planting areas
shall be a 2 inch deviation from the plane in 10 feet. The tolerance for dips
and bumps in lawn areas shall be a 1 inch deviation from the plane in 10
feet.

above. Should the tested section fail to meet the pressure test successfully as
specified, the Contractor shall, at no additional expense to the City, locate and
repair the defects and then retest the pipeline.
Tests shall be made with the in-line valves open. Each valve shall be tested by
closing each in turn and relieving the pressure beyond. This test of the valve will
be acceptable if there is no immediate loss of pressure on the gauge when the
pressure comes against the valve being checked.
Prior to calling out the Engineer to witness the pressure test, the Contractor shall
have all equipment set up completely ready for operation.
Defective materials or workmanship, discovered as a result of hydrostatic field
test, shall be replaced by the Contractor at no additional expense to the City of
Renton. Whenever it is necessary to replace defective material or correct the
workmanship, the hydrostatic test shall be re-run at the Contractor’s expense
until a satisfactory test is obtained.
A. Testing Extensions From Existing Mains:
When an existing water main, or newly installed watermain that has been
tested, disinfected, and connected to the existing operating system, is
extended with new pipe to a new valve and the distance from the existing
pipe to the new valve is 18 feet or less, the section of new pipe installed
between the new valve and the end of the existing main shall be made with
pretested, prechlorinated pipe, and no hydrostatic test will be required.

City of Renton Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park Trestle Bridge Replacement 28 January 2022
When the required hydrostatic tests are conducted in the new main section
beyond the installed new valve in the closed position, the normal pressure
of the existing main may be present against the other side of the new valve.
Where the distance between the end of an existing water main pipe
extension to the new valve is more than 18 feet, the connection of the new
pipe to existing pipe shall not be made until after hydrostatic tests have been
made to the required pressure in both directions against the new valve. This
shall be accomplished by a temporary cap or plug installed on the end of
the new pipe, beyond the new valve, as close as possible to the existing
pipe for testing purposes.
The short length of pipe between the temporary cap or plug end with the
new valve in the closed position, with no hydrostatic pressure active on the
opposite side of the valve, shall be subjected to the required test pressure.
The same test shall be made against the other side of the new valve when
that section of pipe is tested with no hydrostatic pressure active in the short
section of pipe toward the existing main. The final connection to the existing
main shall be made with pretested prechlorinated pipe.
3.08 FLUSHING OF WATER LINES
Sections of pipe to be disinfected shall first be flushed to remove any solids or
contaminated material that may have become lodged in the pipe. A tap shall be
provided large enough to develop a flow velocity of at least 2.5 fps in the water
main. Taps required by the Contractor for temporary or permanent release of air,
chlorination or flushing purposes shall be provided by the Contractor as part of
the construction of water mains. Where dry calcium hypochlorite is used for
disinfection of the pipe, flushing shall be done after disinfection.
3.09 DISINFECTION OF WATER LINES
A. Following pressure testing and flushing, and before placing water lines in
service, new water mains and repaired portions of, or extensions to, existing
mains shall be chlorinated and a satisfactory bacteriological report
obtained. Disinfection shall be accomplished in accordance with the
applicable provisions of AWWA Standard C651, "Disinfecting Water Mains."
B. A chlorine residual of not less than 25 mg/l shall remain in the water after
standing 24 hours in the pipe. The initial chlorine content of the water shall
be not less than 50 mg/l.
C. No connections shall be made between the existing distribution system and
pipelines not disinfected that are constructed under this Contract without a

State Department of Health approved backflow preventer installed in the
connecting line.
D. Treated water shall be retained in the pipe at least 24 hours. After this
period, the chlorine residual at pipe extremities and at other representative
points shall be at least 25 mg/l.
E. Chlorinating Connections to Existing Water Mains and Water Service
Connections: The chlorinating procedure to be followed shall be as
specified in AWWA Standard C651.
F. Final Flushing and Testing:
Following chlorination, treated water shall be flushed from the new piping
until the replacement water throughout its length shows, upon test, the
absence of chlorine. In the event chlorine is normally used in the source of
supply, then the tests shall show a residual not in excess of that carried in
the water supply system. A sample tap shall be located ahead of the
flushing hose for convenience and for sanitary sampling.
Disposal of any water containing chlorine shall be performed in
accordance with the latest edition of AWWA C651, and state and local
requirements. Water shall be dechlorinated prior to discharging to open
waterways in accordance with state requirements, and process shall be
submitted to the City for review and approval. At a minimum, chlorinated
water shall be dechlorinated to a concentration of 0.1 parts per million
(ppm) or less, and pH adjustment to within 6.5 to 8.5 standard units,
before discharging to surface waters of the State or to a storm sewer
system that drains to surface waters of the State.
Should the initial treatment result in an unsatisfactory bacteriological test,
the original chlorination procedure shall be repeated by the Contractor
until satisfactory results are obtained. Failure to get a satisfactory test
shall be considered as failure of the Contractor to keep the pipe clean
during construction, or to properly chlorinate the main.
G. After disinfection has been accomplished, samples of water for
bacteriological analysis shall be collected and submitted to a certified
laboratory for bacteriological testing. Acceptance of bacteriological test
results shall be based on Department of Health requirements. Should these
samples or subsequent samples prove to be unsatisfactory, then the piping
shall be disinfected until satisfactory samples are obtained.
