TO: Prospective Bidders and Others Concerned
This Addendum No.2 reflects corrections, revisions and clarifications to the Contract Plans and Bidding
Document for the subject project as follows:
GENERAL CLARIFICATIONS:
Question 1:
Answer 1:
"Is there a bypass required at Northeast APCF and Marshall Street APCF "
The ENGINEER does not anticipate any pumped bypass requirement for either
the Northeast APCF or Marshall Street APCF to install new screens and new grit
removal equipment.
At Northeast APCF, it was anticipated that the channel wells upstream and
downstream of the mechanical bar screens can be coffer-dammed to perform
channel-coating work and slide gates repairs/replacement. This work should be
coordinated with the mechanical screen replacements, and slide gate repair and/or
replacements. See SECTION 01100 - SUMMARY OF WORK. for more details.
Pumping Bypass should not be required for the Marshall Street APCF since the
sluice gates upstream of the bar screens are currently being repaired by the City
under a separate contract. See SECTION 01100 - SUMMARY OF WORK. for
more details.

Answer 1: The information (Make and Model) regarding the Slide gates is not available.
Question 2: "It is not clear in the Conh'act Documents what is wrong with the existing gates
that is causing them to be frozen and it is not possible to trouble shoot the gates
pre-bid. Are the operators broken? Are the stem threads stripped? Are the gates
themselves damaged or frozen thus preventing the operators .from working? It is
impossible to provide competitive pricing for repair of the existing gates at this
point when we don't know what is wrong with them. "
Answer 2: The Slide gates are corroded and not operable.
Question 3: "Operation of the existing gates is imperative to construction operations on the
project. Repair of the gates are being bid as alternates, if the alternates are not
chosen by the city, the work sequence specified in Section 011 DO-I. 04 will need to
be changed drastically and the cost for performing contract work will be
increased significantly. "

abide by the terms of the statement and will notify the employer of any conviction of, or
plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any violation of chapter 893, or of any controlled
substance law, of the United States, or of any state, for a violation occurring in the

association, or to the code, Laws or Regulation of any governmental authority, whether such
reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual or
code, or Laws or Regulations in effect at the time of opening of Bids except as may be otherwise
specifically stated in the Contract Documents. However, no provision of any referenced standard
specification, manual or code (whether or not specially incorporated by reference in the
responsibilities of Owner or Contractor as set forth in the Contract Documents) shall change the
duties and responsibilities of Owner, Contractor or Engineer, or any of their agents or employees
from those set forth in the Contract Documents. Clarifications and interpretations of the Contract

be complete with respect to quantities, dimensions, specified performance and design criteria,
materials and similar data to show Engineer the materials and equipment Contractor proposes to
provide and to enable Engineer to review the information. Contractor shall also submit Samples
to Engineer for review and approval. Before submitting each Shop Drawing or Sample,
Contractor shall have determined and verified: (i) all field measurements, quantities, dimensions,
specified performance criteria, installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers and similar
information with respect thereto, (ii) all materials with respect to intended use, fabrication,
shipping, handling, storage, assembly and installation pertaining to the performance of the Work,
and (iii) all information relative to Contractor's sole responsibilities in respect to means,

written communication separate from the submittal; and, in addition, shall cause a specific
notation to be made on each Shop Drawing and Sample submitted to Engineer for review and
approval of each such variation.
Engineer's review and approval of Shop Drawings and Samples will be only to determine if the
items covered by the submittals will, after installation or incorporation in the Work, conform to
the information given in the Contract Documents and be compatible with the design concept of
the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated the Contract Documents. Engineer's
review and approval will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of
construction (except where a particular means method, technique, sequence or procedure of
construction is specifically and expressly called for by the Contract Documents) or to safety
precautions or programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will
not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. Contractor shall make
corrections required by Engineer, and shall return the required number of corrected copies of
Shop Drawings and submit as required new Samples for review and approval. Contractor shall
direct specific attention in writing to revisions other than the corrections called for by Engineer
on previous submittals.
Engineer's review and approval of Shop Drawings or Samples shall not relieve Contractor from
responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless

dispute or other matter in accordance with applicable Laws and Regulations within sixty days of
the date of such decision, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Owner and Contractor.
When functioning as interpreter and judge, Engineer will not show partiality to Owner or
Contractor and will not be liable in connection with any interpretation or decision rendered in
good faith in such capacity. The rendering of a decision by Engineer with respect to any such
claim, dispute or other matter will be a condition precedent to any exercise by Owner or
Contractor of such rights or remedies as either may otherwise have under the Contract
Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any such claim, dispute or other matter
pursuant the Article on Dispute Resolution.
9.6 LIMITATIONS ON ENGINEER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Neither Engineer's authority or responsibility under this paragraph or under any other provision
of the Contract Documents nor any decision made by Engineer in good faith either to exercise or
not exercise such authority or responsibility or the undertaking, exercise or performance of any
authority or responsibility by Engineer shall create, impose or give rise to any duty owed by
Engineer to Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person or organization or to
any surety for or employee or agent of any of them.
Engineer will not supervise, direct, control or have authority over or be responsible for
Contractor's means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or the safety
precautions and programs incident thereto, or for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws
and Regulations applicable to the furnishing or performance of the work. Engineer will not be
responsible for Contractor's failure to perform or furnish the work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
Engineer will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of Contractor or of any Subcontractor,
any Supplier, or of any other person or organization performing or furnishing any of the work.
Engineer's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation and all
maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds and certificates of
inspection, tests and approvals and other documentation required to be delivered by the
Contractor will only be to determine generally that their content complies with the requirements
of the Contract Documents and, in the case of certificates of inspections, tests and approvals that
the results certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents.
The limitations upon authority and responsibility set forth in this paragraph shall also apply to
Engineer's Consultants and assistants.
10 CHANGES IN THE WORK
Without invalidating the Agreement and without notice to any surety, Owner may, at any time or
from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions in the Work. Such additions, deletions
or revisions will be authorized by a Written Amendment, a Change Order, or a Work Change
Directive. Upon receipt of any such document, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the Work

involved which will be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents
(except as may otherwise be specifically provided).
If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree as to the extent, if any, of an adjustment in the
Contract Price or an adjustment of the Contract Time that should be allowed as a result of a
Work Change Directive, a claim may be made therefore as provided in these General Conditions.
Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Time with respect to any Work performed that is not required by the Contract
Documents as amended, modified and supplemented as provided in these General Conditions
except in the case of an emergency as provided or in the case of uncovering work as provided in
article for Uncovering Work.
Owner and Contractor shall execute appropriate Change Orders or Written Amendments
recommended by Engineer covering:
changes in the work which are (i) ordered by Owner (ii) required because of acceptance of
defective work under the article for Acceptance of Defective Work or correcting defective
Work under the article for Owner May Correct Defective Work or (iii) agreed to by the
parties;
changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which are agreed to by the parties; and
changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which embody the substance of any written
decision rendered by Engineer pursuant to the article for Decisions on Disputes;
provided that, in lieu of executing any such Change Order, an appeal may be taken from any
such decision in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents and applicable
Laws and Regulations, but during any such appeal, Contractor shall carry on the Work and
adhere to the progress schedule as provided in the article for Continuing the Work.
If notice of any change affecting the general scope of the work or the provisions of the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price or Contract Time) is required by the
provisions of any Bond to be given to a surety, the giving of any such notice will be Contractor's
responsibility, and the amount of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly.
11 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
11.1 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to authorized adjustments)
payable to Contractor for performing the Work. All duties, responsibilities and obligations
assigned to or undertaken by Contractor shall be at Contractor's expense without change in the
Contract Price. The Contract Price may only be adjusted by a Change Order or by a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be based on a written notice
of claim stating the general nature of the claim, to be delivered by the party making the claim to
the other party and to Engineer promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the start of
the occurrence or event giving rise to the claim. Notice of the amount of the claim with
supporting data shall be delivered within sixty days after the start of such occurrence or event
(unless Engineer allows additional time for claimant to submit additional or more accurate data
in support of the claim) and shall be accompanied by claimant's written statement that the
claimed adjustment covers all known amounts to which the claimant is entitled as a result of said
occurrence or event. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not

Section III - General Conditions
submitted in accordance with this paragraph. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order
or of any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be determined as follows: (i) where
the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by application
of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (ii) where the Work involved is not
covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by a mutually agreed lump sum
(which may include an allowance for overhead and profit), (iii) where the Work is not covered
by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and agreement is reached to establis~ unit
prices for the Work.
11.2 ALLOWANCES AND FINAL CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT
It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be furnished and performed for such
sums as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer. Contractor agrees that: (i) the allowances
include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment
required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and (ii)
Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead,
profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract
Price and not in the allowances and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the
foregoing will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by Engineer
to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work covered by allowances and all the
Work actually performed by the Contractor, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly
adjusted.
11.3 UNIT PRICE WORK
Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to
the sum of the established unit price for each separately identified item of unit price work times
the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of
items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of
Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and
classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by Engineer. Each unit
price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to cover
Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. Owner or Contractor may
make a claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price if: (i) the quantity of any item of Unit Price
Work performed by Contractor differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of
such item indicated in the Contract Documents; and (ii) there is no corresponding adjustment
with respect to any other item of Work; and (iii) if Contractor believes that Contractor is entitled
to an increase in Contract Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or Owner
believes that Owner is entitled to a decrease in Contract Price and the parties are unable to agree
as to the amount of any such increase or decrease. On unit price contracts, the Owner endeavors
to provide adequate unit quantities to satisfactorily complete the construction of the project. It is
expected that in the normal course of project construction and completion that not all unit
quantities will be used in their entirety and that a fmalizing change order which adjusts contract
unit quantities to those unit quantities actually used in the construction of the project will result
in a net decrease from the original Contract Price. Such reasonable deduction of final Contract
Price should be anticipated by the Contractor in his original bid.

Section III - General Conditions
12 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT TIME
The Contract Time (or Milestones) may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment of the Contract Time (or Milestones) shall be based on
written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to Engineer
promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise to
the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with
supporting data shall be delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless Engineer
allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and
shall be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire
adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence
of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Time (or Milestones) shall be determined
by Engineer. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Time (or Milestones) will be valid if not
submitted in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph.
All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement.
Where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the work within the Contract Time
(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time (or Milestones)
may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a claim is made
therefore as provided in the article for Changes in the
Work. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts by
Owner, acts of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by the
article for Other Work, fIres, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God.
Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be
delays within the control of Contractor. .
Where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times
(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both Owner and Contractor, an extension of
the Contract Time (or Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay shall be
Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay. In no event shall Owner be liable to
Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person, or to any surety for or employee
or agent of any of them, for damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays caused by or
within the control of Contractor, or (ii) delays beyond the control of both parties including but
not limited to fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, acts of God or acts by utility
owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by paragraph for Other
Work.
13 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS, CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR
ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
13.1 TESTS AND INSPECTION
Contractor shall give Engineer timely notice of readiness of 'the Work for all required
inspections, tests or approvals, and shall cooperate with inspection and testing personnel to
facilitate required inspections or tests.
Contractor shall employ and pay for the services of an independent testing laboratory to perform
all inspections, tests, or approvals required by the Contract Documents. The costs for these
inspections, tests or approvals shall be borne by the Contractor except as otherwise provided in
the Contract Documents.

Section III - General Conditions
If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof)
specifically to be inspected, tested or approved by an employee or other representative of such
public body including all City Building Departments and City Utility Departments, Contractor
shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests or approvals,
pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish Engineer the required certificates of inspection
or approval. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, City permit and impact fees will
be waived. Contractor shall also be responsible for arranging and obtaining and shall pay all
costs in connection with any inspections, tests or approvals required for Owner's and Engineer's
acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials, mix '
designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to Contractor's purchase thereof for
incorporation of the Work.
If any W ork (or the work of others) that is to be inspected tested or approved is covered by
Contractor without written concurrence of Engineer, it must, if requested by Engineer, be
uncovered for observation. Uncovering Work as provided in this paragraph shall be at
Contractor's expense unless Contractor has given Engineer timely notice of Contractor's intention
to cover the same and Engineer has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such
notice.
13.2 UNCOVERING THE WORK
If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of Engineer, it must, if requested by
Engineer, be uncovered for Engineer's observation and replaced at Contractor's expense.
If Engineer considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by Engineer or
inspected or tested by others, Contractor, at Engineer's request, shall uncover, expose or
otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as Engineer may require, that
portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is
found that such Work is defective, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages
caused by, arising out of or resulting from such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection
and testing and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all
costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price for the costs of the investigation, and, if the parties are unable to
agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefore as provided in the article for Change
in Contract Price. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be
allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time (or Milestones),
or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing,
replacement and reconstruction; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent
thereof, Contractor may make a claim therefore as provided the article for Change in Contract
Price and Change of Contract Time.
13.3 ENGINEER MAY STOP THE WORK
If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable
materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the Work in such a way that the completed
Work will conform to the Contract Documents, Engineer may order Contractor to stop the Work,
or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of
Engineer to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of Engineer or Owner to
exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor or any surety or other party. If the Engineer stops
Work under this paragraph, Contractor shall be entitled to no extension of Contract Time or
increase in Contract Price.

13.4 CORRECTION OR REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE WORK
If required by Engineer, Contractor shall promptly, as directed, either correct all defective Work,
whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by Engineer,
remove it from the site and replace it with Work that is not defective. Contractor shall pay all
claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or resulting from such correction or removal
(including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others).
13.5 WARRANTY/CORRECTION PERIOD
If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may
be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee
required by the Contract Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract Documents, any
Work is found to be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to Owner and in
accordance with Owner's written instructions; (i) correct such defective Work, or, if it has been
rejected by Owner, remove it from the site and replace it with Work that is not defective and (ii)
satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage to other Work or the work of others
resulting therefrom. If Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions,
or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the
defective Work corrected or the rejected. Work removed and replaced, and all claims, costs,
losses and damages caused by or resulting from such removal and replacement (including but not
limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by Contractor.
In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service
before Final Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run from
an earlier date if specifically and expressly so provided in the Specifications or by Written
Amendment.
Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected,
removed or replaced under this paragraph the correction period hereunder with respect to such
Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or removal and .
replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
13.6 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner prefers
to accept it, Owner may do so.
Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages attributable to Owner's evaluation of
and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as to
reasonableness). If any such acceptance occurs prior to Engineer's recommendation of [mal
payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work; and Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in
the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, Owner may
make a claim therefore as provided in article for Change of Contract Price. If the acceptance
occurs after the Engineer's recommendation for final payment an appropriate amount will be paid
by Contractor to Owner.
13.7 OWNER MAY CORRECT DEFECTIVE WORK
If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Engineer to correct
defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by Engineer in accordance

with the article for Correction and Removal of Defective Work or if Contractor fails to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any
other provision of the Contract Documents, Owner may, after seven days' written notice to
Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under
this paragraph Owner shall proceed expeditiously. In connection with such corrective and
remedial action, Owner may exclude Contractor from all or part of the site, take possession of all
or part of the Work, and suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take possession of
Contractor's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site, and incorporate
in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which Owner has paid
Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner's
representatives, agents and employees, Owner's other contractors, and Engineer and Engineer's
Consultants access to the site to enable Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this
paragraph. All claims, costs, losses and damages incurred or sustained by Owner in exercising
such rights and remedies will be charged against Contractor and a Change Order will be issued
incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and
Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are
unable to agree as to the amount thereof, Owner may make a claim therefore as provided in the
article for Change of Contract Price. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not
be limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by
correction, removal or replacement of Contractor's defective Work. Contractor shall not be
allowed an extension of the Contract Time (or Milestones) because of any delay in the
performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by Owner of Owner's rights and remedies
hereunder.
14 PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units
completed.
14.1 APPLICATION FOR PROGRESS PAYMENT
Contractor shall submit (not more often than once a month) to Engineer for review an
Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as of
the.25th of each month and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is require~ by the
Engineer and the Contract Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents,
payment will not be made for materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work. Payment
will only be made for that portion of the Work, which is fully installed including all materials,
labor and equipment. A retainage of not less than five (5%) of the amount of each Application
for Payment for the total of all Work completed to date will be held until fInal completion and
acceptance of the Work covered in the Contract Documents. No progress payment shall be
construed to be acceptance of any portion of the Work under contract.
In addition to all other payment provisions set out in this contract, the Engineer may require the
Contractor to produce for the Owner, within fIfteen days of the approval of any progress
payment, evidence and/or payment affIdavit that all subcontractors and suppliers have been paid
any sum or sums then due. A failure on the part of the contractor to provide the report as required
herein shall result in further progress or partial payments being withheld until the report is
provided.

14.2 CONTRACTOR'S WARRANTY OF TITLE
Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by
any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to Owner no
later than the time of payment, free and clear ofliens. No materials or supplies for the Work shall
be purchased by Contractor or Subcontractor subj ect to any chattel mortgage or under a
conditional sale contact or other agreement by which an interest is retained by the seller.
Contractor warrants that he has good title to all materials and supplies used by him in the Work,
free from all liens, claims or encumbrances. Contractor shall indemnify and save Owner
harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of Subcontractors, laborers,
workmen, mechanics, materialmen, and furnisher's of machinery and parts thereof, equipment,
power tools, and all supplies incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this Contract.
Contractor shall at Owner's request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the
nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged, or waived. If Contractor fails to do
so, then Owner may, after having served written notice on said Contractor either pay unpaid
bills, of which Owner has written notice, or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid compensation
a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until
satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged, whereupon
payment to Contractor shall be resumed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no
event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon Owner to
the Contractor or the Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, Owner shall be
deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by Owner shall be considered as
payment made under the Contract by Owner to Contractor, and Owner shall not be liable to
Contractor for any such payment made in good faith.
14.3 REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS FOR PROGRESS PAYMENTS
Engineer will within twenty days after receipt of each Application for payment, either indicate a
recommendation of payment and present Application to Owner, or return the Application to
Contractor indicating Engineer's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case,
Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application~ Engineer may
refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment to the Owner. Engineer may also
refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the
results of subsequent inspections or test, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to
such extent as may be necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from loss because: (i)
the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement, (ii) the Contract Price has been reduced by amendment or Change Order, (iii)
Owner has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work, or (iv) Engineer has
actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in the article on Suspension
of Work and Termination.
Owner may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by the Engineer because:
(i) claims have been made against Owner on account of Contractor's performance or furnishing
of the Work, (ii) Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has
delivered a specific Bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such
Liens, (iii) there are other items entitling Owner to a set-off against the amount recommended, or
(iv) Owner has actual knowledge of any of the events described in this paragraph. The Owner
shall give Contractor immediate notice of refusal to pay with a copy to the Engineer, stating the
reasons for such actions, and the Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the amount so withheld,

or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, when Contractor corrects to
Owner's satisfaction the reasons for such action.
14.4 PARTIAL UTILIZATION
Use by Owner at Owner's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which (i) has
specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) Owner, Engineer and Contractor
agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by Owner
for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor's performance of the
remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Final Completion of all the Work subject
to the following:
Owner at any time may request Contractor in writing to permit Owner to use any such part of the
Work which Owner ~elieves to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If
Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, Contractor will certify to
Owner and Engineer that such part of the Work is substantially complete and request Engineer to
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Contractor at any time
may notify Owner and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such part of the Work
ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate
of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such
request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to
determine its status of completion. If Engineer does not consider that part of the Work to be
substantially complete, Engineer will notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons
therefore. If Engineer considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions
of the article"s for Substantial Completion and Partial Utilization will apply with respect to
certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility
in respect thereof and access thereto.
14.5 FINAL INSPECTION
Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is
complete, Engineer will make a final inspection with Owner and Contractor and will notify
Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is
incomplete or defective. Contractor shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to
complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.
14.6 FINAL APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT
After Contractor has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of Engineer and has
delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance and operating instructions,
schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required by the
paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents as
may be required in the Contract Documents and other documents, Contractor may make
application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The fmal
Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (I) all
documentation called for in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of
insurance required by paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, (ii) consent of the surety, if any or if
necessary, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers
(satisfactory to Owner) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu of
such releases or waivers of Liens and as approved by Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or
releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor that: (i) the releases and receipts include all labor,

services, material and equipment for which a Lien could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material
and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner or
Owner's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any
Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish
a Bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any Lien.
Prior to application for [mal payment, Contractor shall clean and remove from the premises all
surplus and discarded materials, rubbish, and temporary structures, and shall restore in an
acceptable manner all property, both public and private, which has been damaged during the
prosecution of the Work, and shall leave the Work in a neat and presentable condition.
14.7 FINAL PAYMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
If through no fault of Contractor, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and if
Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of Contractor's [mal Application for payment
and recommendation of Engineer, and without terminating the Agreement, make paYment of the
balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance
to be held by Owner for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage
stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in paragraph for
Bonds and Insurance, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by Contractor to Engineer
with the Application for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and
conditions governing final payment, except that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of
claims.
If on the basis of Engineer's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection,
and Engineer's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation,
all as required by the Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work has been
completed and Contractor's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled,
Engineer will indicate in writing his recommendation of payment and present the Application to
Owner for payment. Thereupon Engineer will give written notice to Owner and Contractor that
the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of this article. Otherwise, Engineer will return
the Application to Contractor, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final

15 SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
15.1 OWNER MAY SUSPEND THE WORK
At any time and without cause, Engineer may suspend the Wark or any portion thereof for a
period of not more than ninety days by notice in writing to Contractor, which will fix the date on
which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work on the date so fIxed. Contractor
shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, or
both, directly attributable to any such suspension if Contractor makes an approved claim
therefore as provided in the articles for Change of Contract Price and Change of Contract Time.
15.2 OWNER MAY TERMINATE
Upon the occurrence of anyone or more of the following events; if Contractor persistently fails
to perform the work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to,
failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere
to the progress schedule as adjusted from time to time);
if Contractor disregards Laws and Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
if Contractor disregards the authority of Engineer;
if Contractor otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the Contract
Documents; or if the Work to be done under this Contract is abandoned, or if this
Contract or any part thereof is sublet, without the previous written consent of Owner, or
if the Contract or any claim thereU11der is assigned by Contractor otherwise than as
herein specified, or at any time Engineer certifies in writing to Owner that the rate of
progress of the Work or any part thereof is unsatisfactory or that the work or any part
thereof is unnecessarily or unreasonably delayed.
Owner may, after giving Contractor (and the surety, if any), seven days' written notice and, to the
extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of Contractor, exclude
Contractor from the site and take possession of the Work and of all Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent
they could be used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for trespass or conversion),
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which Owner has
paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as Owner may deem
expedient. In such case Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
Work is fInished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and
damages sustained by Owner arising out of or resulting from completing the Work such excess
will be paid to Contractor.
If such claims, costs, losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the
difference to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed
by Engineer as to their reasonableness and when so approved by Engineer incorporated in a
Change Order, provided that when exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph Owner
shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by Owner, the termination will not affect
any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue.
Any retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by Owner will not release Contractor from
liability .

Section III - General Conditions
Upon seven days' written notice to Contractor and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and
without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner, elect to terminate the Agreement. In
such case, Contractor shall be paid (without duplication of any items):
for completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract
Documents prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable
sums for overhead and profit on such Work;
for expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services
and furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such expenses;
for all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts
with Subcontractors, Suppliers and others; and for reasonable expenses directly
attributable to termination.
Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other
economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.3 CONTRACTOR MAY STOP. WORK OR TERMINATE
If, through, no act or fault of Contractor, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety
days by Owner or under an order of court or other public authority, or Engineer fails to act on
any Application for Payment within sixty days after it is submitted or Owner fails for sixty days
to pay Contractor any sum fmally determined to be due, then Contractor may, upon seven days'
written notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided Owner or Engineer do not remedy such
suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from Owner
payment on the same terms as provided in the article for Owner May Terminate. However, if the
Work is suspended under an order of court through no fault of the Owner, the Contractor shall
not be entitled to payment except as the Court may direct. In lieu of terminating the Agreement
and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if Engineer has failed to act on an
Application for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted, or Owner has failed for thirty
days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, Contractor may upon seven day's
written notice to Owner and Engineer stop the Work until payment of all such amounts due
Contractor. The provisions of this article are not intended to preclude Contractor from making
claim under paragraphs for Change of Contract Price or Change of Contract Time or otherwise
for expenses or damage directly attributable to Contractor's stopping Work as permitted by this
article.
16 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If and to the extent that Owner and Contractor have agreed on the method and procedure for
resolving disputes between them that may arise under this Agreement, such dispute resolution
method and procedure will proceed. If no such agreement on the method and procedure for
resolving such disputes has been reache~ subject to the provisions of the article for Decisions on
Disputes, Owner and Contractor may exercise such rights or remedies as either may otherwise
have under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any dispute
provided, however, that nothing herein shall require a dispute to be submitted to binding
arbitration.

Representative of Contractor
The Contractor shall assign a responsible person or persons, one of whom shall be at the
construction site at all times that work is progressing. The names and positions of these
persons shall be submitted to the City Engineer at the time of the pre-construction
conference. This person or persons shall not be changed without written approval of City
Engineer.
Estimated Quantities
The Contractor's attention is called to the fact that the estimate of quantities as shown on
the Proposal Sheet is approximate and is given only as a basis of calculation upon which
the award of the contract is to be made. The City does not assume any responsibility that
the fmal quantities will remain in strict accordance with estimated quantities nor shall the
contractor plead misunderstandings or deception because of such estimate of quantities or
of the character or location of the work or of other conditions or situations pertaining
thereto.
4 ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE WORK
The City reserves the right to accept and use any portion of the work whenever it is considered to
the public interest to do so. The Engineer shall have the power to direct on what line or street the
Contractor shall work and order thereof. .
5 EXCAVATION FOR UNDERGROUND WORK
The contractor is responsible to take all necessary steps to conduct all excavation in a manner
which provides for the successful completion of the proposed work while at all times
maintaining the safety of the workmen, the general public and both public and private property.
The contractor's methods of work will be consistent with the standard practices and requirements
of all appropriate Safety Regulatory Agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements for excavation. Unless otherwise specifically stated in
these plans and specifications, the methods of safety control and compliance with regulatory
agency safety requirements are the full and complete responsibility of the contractor.
For the purposes of the Contractor's safety planning in the bidding process, the contractor is to
consider all excavation to be done in the performance of this contract to be in soil classified as
OSHA "Type C". The Contractor's attention is called to specific requirements of OSHA for
SectionIVa.doc
Page 5
Revised: 5/11/2005
Section IV - Technical Specifications
excavation shoring, employee entry, location of excavated material adjacent to excavation, the
removal of water from the excavation, surface encumbrances and in particular the requirement of
a "Competent Person" to control safety operations. The Contractor will identify his Competent
Person to City staff at the start of construction.
City staff are required from time to time to perform inspections, tests, survey location work, or
other similar activity in an excavation prepared by the contractor. City staff in conformance with
the OSHA Excavation Safety Requirements are to only enter an excavation in compliance with
these OSHA standards. The City's staff reserve the option to refuse entry into the Contractor's
excavation if, in the opinion of the City's staff, the entry into the Contractor's excavation is
unsafe or does not conform OSHA requirements. If this circumstance occurs, the contractor must
either provide the necessary safety requirements or provide alternate means for the
accomplishment of the City's work at the Contractor's expense.
The restoration quantities, if any, contained in the bid proposal for this contract to not contain
sufficient quantities to allow the contractor to perform excavation work using strictly the "open
cut" method whereby no shoring systems are used and trench side slopes are cut to conform to
OSHA safety requirements without a shoring system. In addition to safety reasons, the
Contractor is required to use excavation and trench-shoring methods in compliance with all
safety requirements which allow the Contractor to control the amount of restoration work
necessary to complete the project.
Not more than one hundred (100) feet of trench shall be opened at one time in advance of the
completed work unless written permission is received from the Engineer for the distance

City of Clearwater - Erosion Control
This notice is to inform the prime contractor that the City of Clearwater holds them responsible
for soil erosion control on their site.
The City of Clearwater Public Works Department has the responsibility to minimize the amount
of soil erosion into the City's streets, storm sewers and waterways.
The construction of a new residence or commercial site and major remodeling of an existing site
creates a potential for soil erosion. These instances are usually the result of contractors and
subcontractors accessing the property with equipment or construction materials. Then rain storms
redistribute the eroded soil into the adjacent streets, storm systems and waterways.
When erosion takes place, a Planning & Development Services Inspector or a Public Works
Inspector will place a correction notice at the site. The procedure will be as follows:
1 st occurrence Warning
2nd occurrence $32 reinspection fee
3rd occurrence $80 reinspection fee
4th occurrence Stop work order
Dependent on the severity of the erosion, the City's Public Works Administration Department
may elect to rectify the erosion problem and charge the contractor accordingly.
The attached drawings and details are recommendations for the contractor to use as means to
support the site from eroding. The contractor may elect to shovel and sweep the street daily or on
an as needed basis. However, erosion must be held in check.
If the contractor would like to meet with a Public Works inspector on any particular site, please
contact Construction at 462-6126 or Planning & Development Services at 562-4741.
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater's Code of Ordinances requires erosion control on
all land development projects.
Erosion control must be in place and maintained throughout the job. Failure to do so may result
in additional costs and time delays to the permit holder.
Contact Public Works Administration with specific questions at 562-4750.

INSTAllATION
Proper implements, tools, and facilities satisfactory to the Engineer shall be provided and used
by the Contractor for the safe and convenient performance of the work. All pipe, fittings, valves
and hydrants shall be carefully lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of a derrick,
ropes, or other suitable tools or equipment in such a manner as to prevent damage to materials
and protective coatings and linings. Under no circumstances shall materials be dropped or
dumped in the trench.
If damage occurs to any pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants or accessories in handling, the damage
shall be immediately brought to the Engineer's attention. The Engineer shall prescribe corrective
repairs or rejection of the damaged items.
All pipe and fittings shall be carefully examined for cracks and other defects while suspended
above the trench immediately before installation in fmal position. Spigot ends shall be examined
with particular care as this area is the most vulnerable to damage from handling. Defective pipe
or fittings shall be laid aside for inspection by the Engineer who will prescribe corrective repairs
or rejection.
All lumps, blisters, and excess coating shall be removed from the bell and spigot end of each
pipe, and the outside of the spigot and the inside of the bell shall be wire brushed and wiped
clean and dry and free from oil and grease before the pipe is laid. Pipe joints shall be made up in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Every precaution shall be taken to prevent foreign material from entering the pipe while it is
being placed in the line. If the pipelaying crew cannot put the pipe into the trench and in place
without getting earth into it, the Engineer may require that, before lowering the pipe into the
trench, a heavy, woven canvas bag of suitable size shall be placed over each end and left there
until the connection is to be made to the adjacent pipe. During laying operation, no debris, tools,
clothing or other materials shall be placed in the pipe.
As each length of pipe is placed in the trench, the spigot end shall be centered in the bell and the
pipe forced home and brought to correct line and grade. The pipe shall be secured in place with
approved backfill material tamped under it except at the bells. Precautions shall be taken to
prevent dirt from entering the joint space.
At times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed by a
watertight plug or other means approved by the Engineer.
The cutting of pipe for inserting valves, fittings, or closure pieces shall be done in a neat and
workmanlike manner without damage to the pipe or cement lining and so as to leave a smooth
end at right angles to the axis of the pipe.
Pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of laying unless directed otherwise by the
Engineer. Where pipe is laid on the grade of 10 per cent or greater, the laying shall start at
bottom and shall proceed upward with the bell ends of the pipe upgrade.
Wherever it is necessary to deflect pipe from a straight line, either in the vertical or horizontal
plane to avoid obstructions or to plumb stems; or where long radius curves are permitted, the
amount of deflection allowed shall not exceed that allowed under the latest edition of
ANSI/AWWA C600-82 and C900 81 or latest revisions.
No pipe shall be laid when, in the opinion of the Engineer, trench conditions are unsuitable.

the Spray Mate Model35C or 35D equipment for 30 seconds to a minute after all materials have
been placed in the mixing hopper. Place the mix into the holding hopper and prepare another
batch with timing such that the nozz1eman can spray in a continuous manner without interruption
until each application is complete.
49.11.3 SPRAYING
The surface, prior to spraying, shall be damp without noticeable free water droplets or running
water. Materials shall be sprayed, applied to a minimum uniform thickness to insure that all
cracks, crevices and voids are filled and a somewhat smooth surface remains after light
troweling. The light troweling is performed to compact the material into voids and to set the
bond. Not before the fust application has begun to take an initial set (disappearance of surface
sheen which could be 15 minutes to 1 hour depending upon ambient conditions) is the second
application made to assure a minimum total finished thickness of 1/2 inch. The surface is then
troweled to a smooth fmish being careful not to over trowel so as to bring additional water to the
surface and weaken it. A brush fmish may be applied to the fmished coat to remove trowel
marks. Manufacturer's recommendation shall be followed whenever more than 24 hours have
elapsed between applications. The wooden bench covers shall be removed and the bench is
sprayed such that a gradual slope is produces from the walls to the invert with the thickness at
the edge of the invert being no less than 1/2 inch. The wall bench intersection shall be rounded to
a uniform radius, the full circumference of the intersection. The final application shall have a

shall be of single unit construction; the base, lid ends and sides shall be either woven into a
single unit or one edge of these members connected to the base section of the gabion in such a
manner that the strength and flexibility at the connecting point is at least equal to that of the
mesh. Where the length of the gabion and mattress exceeds one and one-half its horizontal width,
they shall be equally divided by diaphragms of the same mesh and gauge as the mattresses shall
be furnished with the necessary diaphragms secured in proper position on the base so that no
additional tying is required at this juncture. The wire mesh is to be fabricated so that it will not
ravel. This is defined as the ability to resist pulling apart at any of the twists or connections
forming the mesh when a single wire strand in a section of mesh is cut.
Each gabion or mattress shall be assembled by tying all untied edges with binding wire. The
binding wire shall be tightly looped around every other mesh opening along seams so that single
and double loops are alternated.
A line of empty gabions shall be placed into position according to the contract drawings and
binding wire shall be used to securely tie each unit to the adjoining one along the vertical
reinforced edges and the top selvedges. The base of the empty gabions placed on top of a filled
line of gabions shall be tightly wire to the latter at front and back.
To achieve better alignment and finish in retaining walls, gabion stretching is recommended.
Connecting wires shall be inserted during the filling operation in the following manner: Gabions
shall be filled to one third full and one connecting wire in each direction shall be tightly tied to
opposite faces of each cell at one third height. The gabion shall then be filled to two thirds full
and one connecting wire in each direction shall be tightly tied to opposite face of each cell at one
two third height. The cell shall then be filled to the top.
Filler stone shall not be dropped more than 12" into the gabions and mattresses.
Geotextile fabric shall be installed at locations shown in the Drawings. The surface to receive the
cloth shall be prepared to a relatively smooth condition free of obstructions which may tear or
cut the cloth. The panel shall be overlapped a minimum of 30 inches and secured against
movement. Cloth damaged or displaced during installation, gabion work, or backfill shall be
replaced or repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer at the contractor's expense. The work
shall be scheduled so that the fabric is not exposed to ultraviolet light more than the
manufacturer's recommendations or five days, whichever is less.

Change OrderIDelay on the current updated Contract CPM Schedule. The
Contractor shall prepare a "Fragnet" (network analysis) of each Change
OrderIDelay on the current updated Contract CPM Schedule. The analysis will
demonstrate the time impact based on the date the change is given to the
Contractor, the status of construction at that point in time, and the event time
computation of all effected activities. The event times used in the analysis shall
be those included in the latest update copy of the detailed CPM Schedule, closest
to the time of delay or as accepted by the Engineer.
B. For the Contractor to be entitled to an extension of Contract time to an
intermediate contract milestone and/or to the project completion, the Time Impact
Analysis must show that the Change OrderIDelay impacts the intermediate
contractual milestone date and/or the updated CPM Schedule's Critical Path,
thereby directly impacting the project completion date. Change OrderslDelays
that do not impact intermediate contractual milestones and/or the critical path and

Concrete surfaces that have been cured with conventional curing
compounds or are contaminated with form oils or grease must be
chemically cleaned or scarified to remove these contaminants before
abrasive blasting or hydroblasting is started.
c.
Suitably finished concrete must have a uniform surface texture
exposing fme aggregate, and resembling coarse sandpaper. If surface
texture is not uniform in appearance, repeat surface preparation
procedure until the desired surface is obtained.
d. If sandblasting is used as the method of surface preparation, remove
all sand and debris by. thoroughly vacuuming the area. If
hydroblasting is used, all surfaces must be surface dry without any

Old Concrete - Prior to application of the corrosion-resistant polymer lining,
old concrete must be examined to see that it is free of loose particles, oils,
grease, chemical contaminants and previously applied paints or protective
coatings. Chemical cleaning or mechanical scarifiers can be used to remove
such surface contaminants.
a. Concrete contaminated with acids, oils, grease, or fats - Spread
powdered soda ash or trisodium phosphate on the surface and wet
down with warm water. Scrub surface vigorously with power
scrubber or steel bristle brushes to remove all loose cement and/or
aggregate. Allow to stand 10 minutes. Flush with clean water and
check pH. Repeat this procedure if necessary until a slightly alkaline
surface is obtained. (A pH between 10 and 12 is ideal). Dry
thoroughly.
b. Concrete contaminated with alkalis - Remove excess alkalis by steam
cleaning or flushing with high-pressure water. Scrub surface with a
strong commercial detergent using I pound per gallon of warm water.
Use power scrubber or steel bristle brushes to remove all loose .
cement and/or aggregate. Flush with clean water. Dry thoroughly.

c. After the concrete has been treated in this manner, follow either
sandblasting or hydroblasting procedures described under new
concrete section above. All concrete to receive the corrosion-resistant
polymer lining must be surface dry with no standing water and free of
contaminants that would affect the bond of the corrosion-resistant
polymer lining to the concrete.
C.
Expedited Curing
1. Time to final cure is directly related to temperature. Should accelerated
curing using external heat sources be desired, the CONTRACTOR shall
follow the proper force curing schedules as provided by the coating
manufacturer.
2. The temperature at which the coating manufacturer expresses curing time
should be noted. If local ambient temperatures are higher, shorter curing
times should be expected. The CONTRACTOR should contact the coating
manufacturer for case histories in similar climates.
D.
Application
1. Mixing - Corrosion-resistant polymer lining is packaged in a pre-measured,
unitized container consisting ofliquid, hardener, and powder, which must be
mixed together before use in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendation.
2. Once the compound has begun to set, it cannot be recovered by adding more
liquid; such material must be discarded.
3. Never add water, Portland Cement, or any other additive or adulterant to any
component or the mixed compound.
4. Installation - Corrosion-resistant polymer lining is applied at 1/8-inch
thickness by trowel. Corrosion-resistant polymer lining must be applied by
an experienced applicator of this type of lining. Coverage may vary de-
pending upon substrate conditions.
5. Curing - Do not allow water or chemicals on the corrosion-resistant polymer
lining for a minimum of24 hours at 70OP. For temperatures below 70OP, cure
a minimum of 48 hours prior to water or chemical exposure.
6. The lining is to be finished to a pinhole free resin-rich surface by roller in
specific accordance with the manufacturer's instructions to provide a sealed

percent of the ultimate design strength, except as otherwise specified. This is
equivalent to approximately" 1 00 day-degrees" of moist curing.
B. Care shall be exercised to prevent damaging edges or obliterating the lines of chamfers,
rustications or corners when removing the forms or doing any other work adjacent
thereto.
C. Clean all exposed concrete surfaces and adjoining work stained by leakage of concrete,
to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
D. As soon as forms have been stripped, form ties, if employed, shall be removed and the
recess filled. Any defects in the surface of the walls shall be chipped out and repaired
in a workmanlike manner. Defective concrete where it occurs shall be cut to a
minimum depth of I-in, thoroughly roughened and neat cement brushed in. The hole
shall then be filled with mortar in the proportion of 1 part cement and 2-112 parts sand
with a minimum of water. Mortar for filling form tie recesses shall be mixed to a
slightly damp consistency Gust short of "balling"), pressed into the recess until dense
and troweled smooth. Mortar in larger patches shall be applied and allowed to assume
a partial set following which it shall be struck off flush with the adjoining surface.
Patches shall be kept moist for several days to assure proper curing.
E. Concrete to receive dampproofing and concrete not exposed in the finished work shall
have off-form fmish with fins and other projections removed and tie cones and defects
filled as specified.
F. Rubbed Finished (Exposed Concrete)

1.
Immediately upon stripping forms and before concrete has changed in color, all
fins shall be carefully removed with a hammer. While the wall is still damp,
apply a thin coat of medium consistency neat cement slurry by means of bristle
brushes to provide a bonding coat within all pits, air holes or blemishes in the
parent concrete; avoid coating large areas of the fmished surface with this
slurry.
2.
Before this slurry has dried or changed color, apply a dry (almost crumbly)
grout consisting of one volume cement to 1-112 volumes of clean masonry
sand having a fmeness modulus of approximately 2.25 and complying with
gradation requirements of the ASTM for such a material. Grout shall be
uniformly applied by means of damp (neither dripping wet nor dry) pads of
coarse burlap approximately 6-in square used as a float. Grout shall be well
scrubbed into the pits and air holes to provide a dense mortar in the
imperfections to be patched.
3.
Allow the mortar to partially harden for I or 2 hours depending upon the
weather. If the air is hot and dry, keep the wall damp during this period using
a fine, fog spray. When the grout has hardened sufficiently so it can be scraped
from the surface with the perpendicular edge of a steel trowel without
damaging the grout in the small pits or holes, cut off all that can be removed
with a trowel. Grout allowed to remain on the wall too long will get too hard

and will be difficult to remove.
4. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly and rub it vigorously with clean dry burlap
to completely remove any dried grout. No visible film of grout should remain
after this rubbing. The entire cleaning operation for any area must be
completed the day it is started. Do not leave grout on surfaces overnight.
Allow sufficient time for grout to dry after it has been cut with the trowel so it
can be wiped off clean with the burlap.
5. On the day following the repair of pits, air holes and blemishes, the walls again
shall be wiped off clean with dry, used pieces of burlap containing old
hardened mortar which will act as a mild abrasive. After this treatment, there
shall be no built-up film remaining on the parent surface. If, however, such is
present a fine abrasive stone shall be used to remove all such material without
breaking through the surface film of the original concrete. Such scrubbing
shall be light and sufficient only to remove excess material without working up
a lather of mortar or change the texture of the concrete.
6. A thorough wash-down with stiff bristle brushes shall follow the final bagging
or stoning operation in order that no extraneous materials remain on the
surface of the wall. The wall shall be sprayed with a fme fog spray
periodically to maintain a continually damp condition for at least 3 days after
the application of the repair grout.
3.07 FINISHING FLOOR AND SLABS
A. Floors and slabs shall be screeded to the established grades and shall be level with a
tolerance of lI8-in when checked with a 12-ft straightedge, except where drains occur,
in which case floors shall be pitched to drains as indicated. Failure to meet either of
above shall be cause for removal, grinding, or other correction as directed by the
Engineer.
B. Following screeding as specified above, the concrete shall be compacted by hand or
approved power tools.
C. The floor or slab shall be compacted to a smooth surface and the floating operation
continued until sufficient mortar is brought to the surface to fill all voids. The surfaces
shall be tested with a straightedge to detect high and low spots which shall be
eliminated.
D. Compaction shall be continued only until thorough densification is attained and a small
amount of mortar is brought to the surface. Excessive floating shall be avoided.
E. After screeding and compacting procedures are accomplished, floors and slabs for
particular conditions shall be finished as specified in the following paragraphs.
F. Wood float areas receiving hardener maintaining surface tolerances to a perfectly
smooth, hard, even fInish free from high or low spots or other defects.

3.3
APPLICATION
A.
General: Apply paint according to manufacturer's written instructions. Use applicators and
techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.
1. Paint colors, surface treatments, and finishes are indicated in the schedule.
2. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions
detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.
3. Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.
4. The term "exposed surfaces" includes areas visible when permanent or built-in
fixtures, convector covers, grilles, and similar components are in place. Extend
coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain the system integrity and provide
desired protection.
5. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed
surfaces. Before the fmal installation of equipment, paint surfaces behind
permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.
6. Paint interior surfaces of ducts with a flat, nonspecular black paint where visible
through registers or grilles.
7. Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to match exposed
surfaces.
8. Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms, and side edges the same as exterior faces.
9. Sand lightly between.each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.
B.
Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated, or
otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before
subsequent surface deterioration.
1. The number of coats and the film thickness required are the same regardless of
application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has cured
as recommended by the manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth,
even surface according to manufacturer's written instructions, sand between
applications.
2. Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup painted.
3. If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply
additional coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give
special attention to ensure edges, comers, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners
receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
4. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not
recoat surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels fIrm, does not deform or feel
sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and where application of another coat of paint
does not cause the undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.
C.
Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other
applicators according to manufacturer's written instructions. All metal surfaces shall be
sprayed except that piping, conduit, and ductwork may be brushed or rolled.

Motorized Plug Valves: To control the grit unit's operation, a manual
H/OIA selector switch shall be provided in the Manufacturer's control
panel.
a. In the Automatic position, plug valve operations shall be primarily
controlled by floats located in the influent channel with a timer
override. As plant flow increases more grit units will be brought
online by opening the motorized plug valves. Prior to opening a
motorized plug valve, the fluidizing system attached to the 20-inch
influent pipe shall be activated for an Operator selectable period of
time. As flow decreases, grit units will be taken out of service by
closing the motorized valve. The three grit units shall alternate
with each cycle at low flows. At peak design flows, all grit units
shall operate. If grit units have not cycled during an Operator
selectable time, the timer shall open and close the appropriate
valves to bring the next unit online. A 24-hour, 96 position time

Prior to discharging the grit from the grit pot, a backwash/fluidizing cycle
is initiated. The 4-inch electrically actuated plug valve, 120V, 60 Hz,
single-phase, NEMA 4X connected to the 4-inch diameter grit underflow
pipe will close, isolating the grit pot from the grit pump suction line. The
I-inch fluidizing solenoid valve will feed plant water into the grit pot. The
backwashing regime uses a fluidizing system that has two primary
functions:
a.
To fluidize the accumulated grit in the grit pot of the grit unit,
thereby preventing collected grit from consolidating into a mass
that is difficult to remove. The fluidizing process also aids in
transporting the accumulated grit to the grit dewatering equipment.
I
Ii
II
II
II
II
b.
To provide a mechanism for lifting organics from the surface of
the collected grit (re-entraining the organic particles from the grit
pot into the main flow within the body of the separator), thereby
providing a means for reducing the organic content of the
recovered grit.
c.
The backwash cycle duration is a site dependant variable,
depending on the grit and organic content in the plant influent, the
Operator may adjust it's duration to suit.
3.
Grit Pumping: To control the operation of the grit pumps and related
systems a manual H/OI A selector switch shall be provided for each pump
in the Manufacturer's control panel.

a. In the automatic position, pumping frequency shall be timer
controlled by Operator selectable time intervals. The two grit
pumps shall alternate lead and lag position with each cycle. A 24-
hour, 96-position time clock shall be provided. The 24-hour timer
contacts shall operate a 0-30 minute pump timer.
Flushing of grit pumps suction and discharge piping should be
sequenced for every pump shut down using the solenoid valves.
b. In Hand position, Operators shall be able to override the timer
settings and initiate a grit pumping sequence, including grit
fluidizing and line flushing.
4. Grit Screw Conveyor: The conveyor starts when the pump starts. A delay
stops the conveyor after the pump stops within the recommended time
interval.
5. Degritting Control Sequence
a. A time clock shall initiate when grit discharge cycles occur. The
time clock shall be adjustable to initiate a cycle up to every 5
minutes.
b. When the time clock initiates a cycle, the grit classifier shall
operate for an adjustable time period (typically 900 seconds).
Concurrently, the grit classifier sends a signal to open the I-inch
diameter solenoid valve connected to the I-inch diameter
fluidizing line for an adjustable time period (typically 60 seconds).
When the fluidizing timer times out, the solenoid valve shall close
and the grit pump connected to the 4-inch diameter underflow pipe
shall run for an adjustable period of time (typically 120 seconds).
c. This process repeats when the next cycle time programmed in the
time clock is attained.
6. The new grit system shall be capable of interfacing with the plants existing
SCADA system. The following list details the information required:

a. Grit removal efficiency is to be determined by averaging the
results obtained from the number of samples indicated above using
the procedure outlined below.
b. During the three tests, one thousand (1000) pounds of US Silica
Corp. (or equal) silica sand will be introduced to the vortex grit
unit as "seed sand". This sand loading provides a concentration in
excess of 1500 mg/l of graded sand in the influent to the grit unit.
Sand gradation shall approximate the following:
Sand Sizes %
50 micron 2
100 micron 37
150 micron 27
200 micron 12
250 micron 12
300 micron 10
c. For purposes of this test, grit shall be defined as any inorganic
substance with a specific gravity greater than 2.5.
2.
Vortex Grit Unit Sampling and Test Procedure:
a. Samples shall be taken from different locations as described above.
b. The vortex grit influent and effluent samples shall be collected
using submersible pumps from the middle of the channel and
routed to large containers to be utilized as settling basins (one for
influent sample and one for effluent sample). A minimum of 1,000
gallons shall be allowed to flow into each settling basin; overflow
shall be directed to a sewer or the grit collector discharge channel.
c. At the termination of each test run, the grit shall be allowed to
settle and the supernatant shall be siphoned from the top of each
settling basin until approximately I-in of liquid remains in the
bottom. The entire volume of sample is recorded before being split
for analysis.
d. A 200-gram portion of the settled sample shall be placed in the
Wet Sieve System for immediate sieving of the solids. Wet sieving
for size fractions shall be conducted on fresh grit from the grit unit
influent and effluent samples.
e. Each residue shall be weighed and totaled, including the amount
passing through the 150 mesh sieve. This provides a grit size
11320-15
VORTEX GRIT COLLECTION EQUIPMENT
graduation for both influent and effiuent samples. The removal
efficiencies for inlet-to-outlet removal are based on the material
retained in the sieve. This means that the figure for 70 mesh
removal is based on all material retained on a 70 mesh sieve,
comparing the influent to the effiuent. The 100 mesh removal
figure is all material passing a 70 mesh but retained on 100 mesh,
comparing the influent and effiuent. The 100 mesh removal figure
represents all material passing the 70 to 100 mesh screens, but
being retained on the 150 mesh screen, comparing influent to
effiuent.
3.
Grit Classifier Sampling and Test Procedure:
a. Samples shall be taken from different locations as described above.
b. The grit classifier influent shall be collected by connecting a clear
2-inch hose to a flushing connection installed on the grit unit
underflow pipe following the grit pump. A minimum of 500
gallons shall be allowed to flow into the settling basin; overflow
shall be directed to a sewer or the grit collector discharge channel.
c. The grit classifier overflow shall be collected by placing a 5-gallon
bucket under the discharge pipe and transferred continuously by a
ten-gpm pump directly into a grit settler. A minimum of 500
gallons shall be allowed to flow into the settling basin; overflow
shall be directed to a sewer or the grit collector discharge channel.
d. Grit classifier influent and overflow samples shall be tested using
the protocol described above in Vortex Grit Unit Sampling and
Test Procedures.
G. In the event the equipment fails to meet the specified performance, the Grit
System Manufacturer shall be responsible for making all corrections of the work
and subsequent test runs until the defects are corrected. If the system remains
unable to meet the test requirements, the defective equipment shall be removed
and replaced at the Manufacturer's expense.
H. Final acceptance will be dependent upon the satisfactory operation and
performance after installation. Results shall be considered acceptable if they are
within 5% of the performance requirements specified above.

passed through 70 mesh, 100 mesh and 150 mesh sieves.
g. Each residue shall be weighed and totaled, including the amount
passing through the 150 mesh sieve. This provides a grit size
graduation for both influent and effluent samples.
2. The removal efficiencies as stated above are for inlet-to-outlet removal
efficiency by percentage, based on the material retained in the sieve. This
means that the figure for 70 mesh removal is based on all material retained
on a 70 mesh sieve, comparing the influent to the effluent. The 1000 mesh
removal figure is all material passing a 70 mesh but retained on 1000
mesh, comparing the influent and effluent. The 100 mesh removal figure
represents all material passing the 70 to 100 mesh screens, but being
retained on the 150 mesh screen, comparing influent to effluent.

1.05 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A. The stair/step screen furnished shall positively remove debris from the incoming
wastewater by means of fixed and movable lamellas. The lamellas shall be
secured within a framework that is installed in the concrete channels as shown on
the Contract Drawings. During each cleaning cycle, the movable lamellas shall
rotate one complete revolution (or one step), which will transport the screenings
material up to the next set of fixed lamellas. The movable lamellas will then
fmish their rotation and return to their original position. A positive means of
stopping the movable lamellas at the original position shall be incorporated into
the design. Multiple revolutions during normal flow are not acceptable. This
intef!I1ittent cycling will raise the screening upward and subsequently out of the
channel at the point of discharge into the appropriate receiving device.
B. The washing press shall be provided to reduce the organic content, moisture
content and volume of screenings material from a mechanical fme screen.
Screenings material shall enter the inlet hopper and be transported by the rotating
screw into the washing zone. In the washing zone, wash water is sprayed through
the hollow shaft screw and into the screenings material to help dissolve and
remove organic material.
C. During normal flow conditions, the washing press shall be operated in a forward
and reverse sequence. The screenings will be transported to a washing zone
where wash water is injected through the hollow shaft screw and into the
screenings. The screw will then reverse and bring the screenings out of the
washing zone. This adjustable washing process shall be repeated a minimum of
four times to ensure thorough cleaning of the screenings material. During peak

1.05 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A. The front rake front return screen furnished shall positively remove debris from
the incoming wastewater by means of movable rakes. The rakes shall be secured
within a framework that is installed in the concrete channels as shown on the
Contract Drawings. The rakes shall approach channel invert from the upstream
side <;>f the screen and rake upward at upstream face with between the bars. The
screenings shall be discharged on downstream side of the screen using a cleaning
rake to a screenings conveyor. The screen rakes shall be designed such that
screenings will not wrap around the tines or the stationary bars, and will not fall
back into the sewage flow during the cleaning cycle.
B. The washing press shall be provided to reduce the organic content, moisture
content and volume of screenings material from a mechanical fine screen.
Screenings material shall enter the inlet hopper and be transported by the rotating
screw into the washing zone. In the washing zone, wash water is sprayed through
the hollow shaft screw and into the screenings material to help dissolve and
remove organic material.
C.
During normal flow conditions, the washing press shall receive screenings from
the existing conveyor. The screenings shall then be transported to the washing
zone where wash water is introduced into the screenings. The washing press shall
be controlled in conjunction with the screens. The washing press shall begin
operation whenever the screens begin operation and shall continue operation for a
predetermined period of time after the screen stops.

SECTION 11332
SHAFTLESS SCREW CONVEYOR
PART 1
GENERAL
1.01 SCOPE OF WORK
This section includes provisions for the complete procurement and installation of (3) shaftless
screw conveyors and appurtenances for screenings conveying at Northeast APCF, Marshall Street
APCF and East APCF as shown in the Contract Drawing and as specified herein.
A. Screw Conveyors with shafts and intermediate hanger bearings will not be
acceptable for this project.
B. Conveyor rotational speeds shall not be greater than herein specified, unless
availability of the reducer ratio requires slight adjustment (+- 3 rpm) or if shown
by the conveyor manufacturer calculations to be required to meet design load.
Deviations from specified speed cannot be utilized to reduce the conveyor
trough and spiral size. Faster speeds are utilized to prevent the fluidization or
apparent thinning when conveying dewatered sludge, to reduce liner and spiral
wear from abrasive material such as grit or compacted screenings, and to aid in
dewatering of wet screenings.

PIPING SYSTEMS-GENERAL
In addition, pump connection piping shall be free to move parallel to its
longitudinal center line while the bolts are being tightened.
1. . Each pump shall be leveled, aligned, and wedged into a position which
will fit the correcting pipe, but shall not be grouted until the initial fitting
and alignment of the pipe so that the pump may be shifted on its
foundation if necessary to properly install the connecting pipe. Each pump
shall, however, be grouted before final bolting of the connecting piping.
2. After fmal alignment and bolting, the pump connections shall be tested for
applied piping stresses by loosening the flange bolts which, if the piping is
properly installed, should result in no movement of the piping relative to
the pump or opening of the pump connection joints. If any movement is
observed, the piping shall be loosened and re-aligned as required and then
the flanges bolted back together. The flange bolts then shall be loosened
and the process repeated until no movement is observed.
3. All carbon steel bolts and nuts shall be coated with the same coating as the
piping system they are used on.
3.07 ANCHORING AND RESTRAINING
A. The use of thrust blocks in new lines is prohibited and shall only be limited to
areas in which a new fitting has been installed in an existing line and field
restraining joints is not feasible or when directed by the Engineer.
3.08 TESTING AND INSPECTION
A. See Section 15144, Pressure Testing of Piping, for pressure testing end inspection
requirements.
3.09 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND PIPING SPECIALTIES
A. Welding:
1. Use only certified welders meeting procedures and performance outlined
in Section 9 of the ASME and other codes and requirements in accordance
with local building and utility requirements. Submit Welder's certificates
to the Engineer for review before beginning any welding on the project.
