such standard, specification, manual or code or of any instruction of any Supplier, Contractor
shall report it to the Engineer in writing at once, and Contractor shall not proceed with the Work
affected thereby (except in an emergency) until an amendment or supplement to 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 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

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

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), (ill) where the Work is not covered
by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and agreement is reached to establish 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 (ill) 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 comse of project construction and completion that not all unit
quantities will be used in their entirety and that a finalizing 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 ill - 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 ifnot
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 aU 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.

If any Work (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 observatio~ 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 Wark 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
Ifrequired by Engineer, Contractor shall promptly, as directed, either correct all defective Work,
whether or not fabncated, 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.

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 fmal
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 d3mages incurred or susWned 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

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 required 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

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.

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 of liens. No materials or supplies for the Work shall
be purchased by Contractor or Subcontractor subject 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, (ill)
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, (Hi) 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

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 believes 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 articles 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 final
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 (ill) 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 rued, 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 final 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 bas been damaged during the
prosecution of the Work, and shall leave the Work in a neat and presentable condition.

Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of Contractor's final 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 [mal 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 fmal 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
payment, in which case Contractor shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application. If the Application and accompanying documentation are appropriate as to form and
substance, Owner shall, within sixty-five days after receipt thereof pay contractor the amount
recommended by Engineer.
14.8 WAIVER OF CLAIMS
The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute: a waiver of all claims by Owner
against Contractor, except claims arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing
after final inspection, from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any
special guarantees specified therein, or from Contractor's continuing obligations under the
Contract Documents; and a waiver of all claims by Contractor against Owner other than those
previously made in writing and still unsettled.

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 thereunder 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.

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.

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

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.

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 reached, subject to the provisions of the article for Decisions on

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.

Section IV - Technical Specifications
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

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 final 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 pennitted, the
amount of deflection allowed shall not exceed that allowed under the latest edition of
ANSIJAWWA C600-82 and C900 81 or latest revisions.
No pipe shall be laid when, in the opinion of the Engineer, trench conditions are unsuitable.

area as detailed over the original lines of the adjoining surface, unless other wise specified. All
cavities, depressions, washouts and similar failures shall be rebuilt to original lines by use of
gunite reinforced with wire mesh. Where the cavity exceeds 4 inches in depth a layer of mesh
shall be used for each 3 inches of depth of gunite. In no case shall wire mesh be placed behind
existing reinforcement.
The time interval between successive layers in sloping vertical or overhanging work must be
sufficient to allow initial but not final set to develop. At the time the initial set is developing, the
surface shall be cleaned to remove the thin film of laitance in order to provide a perfect bond
with succeeding applications.
48.13 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS
Construction joints or day's work joints shall be sloped off to a thin, clean, regular edge,
preferably at a 45-degree slope. Before placing the adjoining work, the slope portion and
adjacent gunite shall be thoroughly cleaned as necessary, then moistened and scoured with an air
jet.
48.14 SURFACE FINISH
Nozzleman shall bring the gunite to an even plane and to well formed comers by working up to
ground wires or other guides, using lower placing velocity than normal.
After the body coat has been placed, the surface shall be trued with a thin edge screed to remove
high areas and expose low areas. Low areas shall be properly filled with concrete to insure a true,
flat surface.
After the concrete surface has been trued, the entire surface shall be given a flashcoat finish
except where a special type finish is specified on the drawings.

batch with timing such that the nozzleman 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 first 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 finish being careful not to over trowel so as to bring additional water to the
surface and weaken it. A bmsh finish may be applied to the finished 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
minimum of four (4) hours cure time before being subjected to active flow.

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

Because of serious health risks associated with asbestos exposure, the Pinellas County Department of Environmental Management, ti
State of Aorida Department of Environmental Protection. the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department (
Labor (OSHA), and the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) have established regulations. whic
apply to building renovation. and demolition activities.
Renovation: (disturbing building material)
A written asbestos survev must be performed prior to renovation activities. .
A licensed asbestos con;ultant must perform the asbestos survey. fA:~~ [E~
The asbestos survey report must be available on-site during any renovation activity.
All Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials (RACM) must be removed prior to any renovation actlvny.

What is the eurpose of asbestos reClulations? I
~___,:rh~..,~;IJ~po~e is to protect the public ~~alth by minimizing the release of asbestos when I
' facilitIes that contain asbestos-containing materials are demolished or renovated.
What is the difference between demolishina a facilitv and renovatina it? . I
According to the Asbestos NESHAP in 40 CFR Part 61, you "demolish" a facility when you
remove or wreck any load-supportin. 9 structural member of that facility or perform any relat1
operations; you also "demolish" a facility when you burn it. You "renovate" a facility when y
alter any part of that facility in any other manner.

Pinellas County Code, Chapter 58, sec. 58-149(d), requires a written asbestos survey betol
demolition ot a building, before any building renov~tions~ or before maintenance on insulated
equipment or building systems. A copy of the sUl'Vey report must be available on-site during an~
renOvation activity and must be included with the written notification for demolition operations.,.
licensed, State of Florida asbestos consultant must perform asbestos surveys.
Florida Statute 469 requires that all removal, handling, associated with asbestos-containing I
materials be done by a licensed, State of Florida asbestos contractor. A Florida Certified
contractor may remove asbestos rooting and resilient flooring. The workers of these contractors
must be certified in 'accordance with Florida Department of Business and. Professional. I
Regulation (.DBPR) requirements. In addition, all employers who require employees to handle
asbestos must comply with the U. S. Department of Labor-OSHA regulations.
The Construction ~ndustry Asbestos Standard, 29 CFR 1926.1 ~ 01, The General Industry I
Asbestos Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1001, and The U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational
Safety and Health.Administration (OSHA), requires employers to provide information about I
the hazards of working with asbestos, provide proper respiratory protection, personnel
monitoring, medical monitoring, engineering controls, proper training and proper record keeping
for all employees that handle materials that may contain asbestos. 1_

Scope of Work
At the request of Karma Killian, Environmental Programs Coordinator, City of Clearwater,
Apollo Environmental, Inc., conducted an update (original survey 2/28/1995 and
5/10/1995) NESHAP, renovation, asbestos survey of The National Guard Armory, 706
North Missouri Street, Clearwater, FL. The site includes four buildings that were
constructed approximately 1965. The survey expressly excludes roof sampling due to
potential damage. The following documents were included in the background review:
Original asbestos survey dated 2128/1995 and 5/10/1995; Technical Asbestos Abatement
Specification dated June 26, 1995; Asbestos Abatement Summary Report dated August
22, 1995 with removal August 8-11, 1995.
Executive Summary
. On February 9, 2006, F. Michael Witt (also original surveyor), Surveyor/Inspector for
Apollo Environmental, Inc., conducted an updating survey of the study site's four buildings.
Upon inspection of the site, 10 Homogeneous Areas (HA's) were identified as suspect,
asbestos-containing materials and 22 supplemental samples were collected. Polarized
light microscopy (PLM) analysis found three of the HA's to be asbestos-containing
materials (ACM). In addition, the five different types of roofing of the four buildings are
assumed, asbestos containing materials for a total of 8 asbestos-containing homogenous
areas.

Notification is required by the:
Pinellas County BAQM prior to renovation/demolition activities.
A copy of this survey and any previous survey reports should be on site during
renovation/demolition activities.
Regulated ACM, and ACM materials that are likely to become Regulated due to
renovation or demolition activities (some Category I and Category II materials),
need to be removed by a licensed asbestos removal contractor prior to general
construction activities. Category I & II materials become Regulated when subjected
to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading.
Non-friable ACM roofing that will remain non-friable (Category I) may be removed
prior to demolition or renovation activities by Asbestos trained personnel of their
respective trades utilizing the industry standard practices.
Category I materials and Category II materials that are not likely to become
Regulated are not required to be removed prior to demolition if 'Special Demolition
Techniques' are employed, with work practices and engineering controls that will
prevent these materials from becoming Regulated. Category I & II materials
become Regulated when subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading. A
person having the training qualification of a "competent person" is required to be
on-site during 'Special Demolitions'. Minimum training requires a 40 hour
"Supervisor of Asbestos Abatement" course or equivalent.
If materials are found other than as detailed in this report, analysis of these
materials are required prior to disturbance. Or, these materials may be assumed to
contain asbestos and dealt with accordingly.

Site. Characteristics
General:
The site includes four (4) buildings, 1-4, with building materials remaining mostly
the same as was present in the 1995 survey, less the materials removed from the
asbestos removal project, replacement ceiling tiles, and replacement materials. The
furniture has been removed. The Carpet remains and portable cabinets remain.
From the 1995 survey, HA's # 1, 4, 9, and 10 were fully abated by removal. Also,
from the 1995 survey, HA #12, the pipe elbows were partially abated by removal,
with some elbows remaining. There is a potential that some additional elbows are
",hidden within wall cavities and above hard ceilings.,q
('-
i
Roofing: The roofing was not sampled but assumed ACM in the 1995 survey. Again, for this
survey, the roofing was not sampled, and was included in this updated survey
summary as assumed asbestos containing materials.
-
-
CeilingslWall/Floors:
The floor and wall ceramic tile was sampled as HA #4. The cove base mastic was
sampled as HA #5. Isolated replacement suspect drop ceiling panels were
sampled as HA #8. No changes other than listed above, from the 1995 survey.
Mise:

Asbestos Survey Protocol
The purpose of this survey was to locate and assess the suspect asbestos-containing materials
as defined in the Scope of Work. The site was surveyed for the presence of materials that are
typically suspect to contain asbestoS. As these materials were identified, bulk samples were
obtained and placed into individual sample containers for transport to the Apollo laboratory.
Suspect materials were sampled in an effort to obtain all representative layers that characterize
their composition. All sample locations were identified by a numbered label. These numbers
directly correspond with the numbers listed in the analytical results tables, laboratory analysis
sheets and drawings.'"
Prior to collecting any samples, distinct homogeneous sampling areas are identified and a
sampling strategy is developed. A homogeneous sampling area can be described as any
suspect asbestos material that is similar in appearance and texture, having similar installation,
ag~, use and function.
Each suspected asbestos-containing material was classified as either friable or non-friable.
Friable materials as defined by the EP A may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder
by hand pressure when dry. Friable asbestos-containing material is usually more hazardous
than hon-friable asbestos-containing materials because it has greater potential to readily
release airborne asbestos fibers.
Materials that were hidden or not accessible were not evaluated as part of this survey. These
materials should be analyzed if and when they are located during any renovation or demolition.
Materials visibly identifiable as non-asbestos (fibrous glass, foam rubber, wood, etc.) were not
sampled.
Bulk asbestos samples were analyzed by Apollo by polarized light microscopy using dispersion
staining techniques according to US EPA method 6001M4-82-020 incorporating visual
estimates of identified materials percentages and Apollo's NVLAP accredited procedures.
Any material that contains greater than one percent of any type of asbestos fibers is
considered by the EPA, OSHA and the State of Florida, an asbestos-containing material
(ACM) and must be handled according to regulations.
Apollo Environmental, Inc. participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NVLAP), and other quality control programs for asbestos analysis.

Scope of Work
Suspect Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACM) were noted in Building 1, during
the removal of the ceiling grid. . At the request of the City of Clearwater, Apollo
Environmental, Inc., conducted an investigation of the newly exposed materials and
previous abatement work. The original survey 2/28/1995 and 5/10/1995 was updated
February 9, 2006. The roofing has not been sampled to date. Partial asbestos abatement
was conducted August 1995, and December 2006 by different asbestos abatement
contractors. The site includes four buildings that were constructed approximately 1965 and
this report supplement is limited to Building 1. located at the fonner National Guard
Annory, 706 North Missouri Street, Clearwater, FL. The scope of1he renovation work does
not impact all of the previously noted ACM and some of the ACM will remain.
Executive Summary
On December 12,2006, F. Michael Witt (also original surveyor), Surveyor/lnspectorfor
Apollo Environmental, Inc., conduded a supplemental survey of Buitding 1. Upon
inspection of the site two HA areas were newly exposed due to removal of walls (exposing
a floor area) and/or opening of walls and two sampled HA's were debris from previously
identified materials, sampled for confirmation. Only the pipe elbow debris was confirmed
to contain asbestos. The wall removal exposed floor tile and mastic remnants under the
wall base plates, originally identified as ACM In the 1995 survey. The following summary
table includes the remaining known ACM in Building 1. The scope of the renovation is not
expected to impact the exterior window frames, door and block glass caulk; inside of
kitchen walt pipe fittings and run; and roofing. .
The renovation in Building 11 is anticipated to impact the pipe fitting debris at the four
comers, Room 17 ceiling areas, pipe hanger and four elbows above the drop ceiling
panels. Also, remnants of floor tile and mastic exposed from the removal of the divider
wal1s. The quantity of ACM to be removed will now exceed 160 sf in a calendar year and
the NESHAPS/Pinellas County Ordinance 10 day notification win be required to the
Pinellas County Bureau of Air Quality Management Following the summary table, is a
listing of recommendations.

Recommendations
1. Notification is required by the:
Pinellas County BAQM prior to renovation/demolition activities.
2. A copy of this survey and any previous survey reports should be on site during
renovation/demolition activities.
3. Regulated ACM. and ACM materials that are likely to become Regulated due to
renovation or demolition activities (some CategofY I and Category II materials).
need to be removed by a licensed asbestos removal contractor prior to general
construction activities. category I & II materials become Regulated when subjected
to sanding. grinding, cutting, or abrading.
4. Non-friable ACM roofing that will remain non-friable (Category I) may be removed
prior to demolition or renovation activities. by Asbestos trained personnel of their
respective trades utilizing the industry standard practices.
5. Category I materials and Category II materials that are not liIeely to become
Regulated are not required to be removed prior to demolition if 'Special Demolition
Techniques' are employed, with work. practices and engineering controls that wil1
prevent these materials from becoming Regulated. Categol)' I & II materials
become RegUlated when subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading. A
person having the training qualification of a "competent person" is required to be
on-site during 'Special Demolitions'. Minimum training requires a 40 hour
"Supervisor of Asbestos Abatement" course or equivalent.
6. If materials are found other than as detailed in this report. analysis of these
materials are required prior to disturbance. Or, these materials may be assumed to
contain asbestos and dealt with accordingly.

Site Characteristics
General:
The site includes four (4) buifdings, with Building 1 the focus of this supplement.
Selected renovation was in progress. From the 1995 survey, HA)s # 1, 4, .9, and 10
were fully abated by removal (except under divider walls). Also, from the 1995
survey. HA #121 the pipe elbows were partrally abated by removal, with some
elbows remaining
Roofing: The roofing was not sampfed but assumed ACM in the 1995 survey. Again) for this
survey, the roofing was not sampled, and was included in this updated survey
summary as assumed asbestos containing materials.
Ceilings'
Wall!
Floors:
The removal of divider walls exposed areas of floor tile and mastic or mastic only
under the wall base plate. Floortile/masticremnantswere noted.;n Room 17 (gym)
in the former area of rooms 13, 14, and 15 as well as Rooms 6, 20, 21, and 23.
The opening of the bathroom wall exposed pipe insulation with mastic on runs and
fittings that was sampled as new HA #17. The wall removal also exposed a
lightweight concrete/white particulate under the 2" hard concrete floor layer. This
was sampled as new HA #16.
Mise:
There was debris noted in the center of the gym above the drop ceiling panels
below the batt insulation in the four corners and an isolated section in the center.
The comer debris was consistent with pipe fitting insulation and the center debris
was consistent with drop ceiling panel material. Each was sampled, HA# 18 similar
to the pipe fittings and HA# 19. simHar to a drop ceiling panel. The debris
associated with the four comers is contained within isolated 4' x 4' sections. This
is exclusive of the 4 remaining pipe elbows that remain and are intact.
It was noted that debris remains on the pipe hanger in the vicinity of the four
elbows that remained follOWing the abatements to date. The four elbows are
scheduled to be removed in the current abatement plan.

Asbestos Survey Protocol
The purpose of this survey was to locate and assess the suspect asbestos-containing materials
as defjned in the Scope of Work. The site was surveyed for the presence of materials that are
typically suspect to contain asbestos. As these materials were identifJed, bulk samples were
obtained and placed into individual sample containers for transport to the Apollo laboratory.
Suspect materials were sampled in an effort to obtain all representative layers that characterize
their composition. All sample locations were identified by a numbered labe>l. These numbers
directly correspond with the numbers listed in the analytical results tables, laboratory analysis
sheets and drawings.
Prior to collecting any samples. distinct homogeneous sampling areas are identified and a
sampling strategy is developed. A homogeneous sampling area can be Qesaibed as any
suspect asbestos material that is similar in appearance and texture, having similar installation,
age, use and function.
Each suspected asbestos~ntaining material was classified as either friable or non-friable.
Friable materials as defined by the EPA may be CfUITlbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder
by hand pressure when dry. Friabte asbestos-containing material Is usually more hazardous
than non-friable asbestos-containing materials because it has greater potential to readily
release airborne asbestos fibers. .
Materials that were hidden or not accessible were not evaluated as part of this survey. These
materials should be analyzed jf and when they are located during any renovation or demolition.
Materials visibly identifiable as non-asbestos (fibrous glass, foam rubber, WQOd, etc.) were not
sampled.
Bulk asbestos samples were analyzed by Apollo by polarized light microscopy using dispersion
staining techniques according to US EPA method 600IM4-B2-020 incorporating visual
estimates of Identified materials percentages and Apollo's NVLAP accredited procedures.
Any material that contains greater than one percent of any type of ~sbestos fibers is
considered by the EPA, OSHA and the State of Florida, an asbestos-containing material
(ACM) and must be handled according to regurations.
Apollo Environmental, Inc. participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NVLAP), and other quality control programs for asbestos analysis.

Dear Mr. Chin:
For your bid document/letter for the armory project, the reason you are enclosing a copy
of the survey is two-fold. One, Pinellas County Ordinances require an asbestos survey be
onsite during renovation/demolition activities. Two, it is my understanding that not all the
asbestos-containing materials are being removed (just the materials expected to be
impacted by the renovation), so you have an obligation through the Hazardous Materials
Communication Act to notify the contractor of the remaining asbestos-containing materials.
According to our inspector who was on-site performing the updated survey, he believes
three materials will remain, (1) HA-1-2006, soft caulk on exterior window frames, (2) HA-6-
2006, 4" pipe elbows and fittings inside south kitchen wall, and (3) HA-11 & 12 -2006
assumed roofingul'1der the rUQberized roofing on the pitched and flat roofs. You may wish
to confirm the fact that these materials are not being removed with your asbestos
contractor. In your letter/bid document, you can include a statement delineating the
asbestos materials which are currently being removed, and which ones will remain.
I hope this helps, please do not hesitate to call with any questions. If you are planning for
us to provide a visual inspection of removal and clearance air sampling (as we quoted),
please let us know as soon as possible, so we can coordinate with the contractor to do this
in a timely manner. If we are notified the day before we're needed, there is no guarantee
that we will have someone available.
Respectfully I

1.0 Executive Summary
At the request of Mr. Leroy Chin of the City of Clearwater, Apollo Environmental, Inc. provided a
visual inspection for verification of ACM abatement and PCM clearance air monitoring services in
Building 1 (former Armory Building) located at 706 North Missollri Avenue, Clearwater, Florida,
after removal of asbestos containing materials. Removal of materials was provided by Cross
Environmental Services prior to Apollo's arrival onsite.
Three areas were abated, (1) remaining pipe fittings and pipe debris in auditorium ceiling, (2) floor
mastic in south west comer of auditorium, and (3) remaining floor tile and mastic in north offices
and one south office. Visual inspection of the areas revealed all areas had been completed, bags
of ACM removed, no visible debris present and areas encapsulated.
Five clearance samples were collected and analyzed according to the NIOSH 7400 Method.
Analysis of the samples revealed fiber concentrations below the industry standard for clean air
after an abatement of 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter of air.
2.0 Inspection, Sample Collection and Analysis Protocol
The general inspections for work practices and removal process are performed according to
general industry guidelines including ASTM, EPA and OSHA. The work of the Consultant and/or
IH technician in no way relieves the abatement contractor from his responsibility to perform his
work in accordance with purchase orders, contract documents, regulations and provide for the
safety of his employees.
PCM sample collection and analysis is in accordance with OSHA Reference Method, OSHA
1926.1101 and/or NIOSH 7400, as revised. Clearance is by visual inspection and PCM analysis.
Apollo industrial hygiene technicians performing project monitoring have successfully completed
a State of Florida approved "Supervision of Asbestos Abatement Projects" and NIOSH582 or
equivalent course. The technicians participate in Apollo's extensive medical monitoring program
and wear personal protective equipment appropriate to the task.

1. Remove all hardware, hardware accessories, machined surfaces, plates, lighting
fixtures, and similar items in place and not to be finish-painted, or provide surface-
applied protection prior to surface preparation and painting operations. Remove, if
necessary. for the complete painting of the items and adjacent surfaces. Following
completion of painting of each space or area, reinstall the removed items by
workmen skilled in the trades involved.
2. Clean surfaces to be painted before applying paint or surface treatments. Remove
oil and grease prior to mechanical cleaning. Program the cleaning and painting so
that contaminaIlts from the cleaning process will not fall onto wet, newly-painted
surfaces.
B. CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS: Prepare cementitious surfaces of concrete, concrete
block and cement plaster to be painted by removing all efflorescence chalk, dust,
dirt, grease, oils, and by roughening as required to remove glaze.
1. Determine the alkalinity and moisture content of the surfaces to be painted by
performing appropriate tests. If the surfaces are found to be sufficiently alkaline to
cause blistering and burning of the finish paint, correct this condition before
application of paint. Do not paint over surfaces where the moisture content exceed
that permitted in the manufacturer's printed directions.
C. WOOD: Cleanwood surfaces to be painted of all dirt, oil or other foreign substances
withscrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper, as required.
1. Seal tops, bottoms, and cut-outs of unprimed wood doors with a heavy coat of
varnish or equivalent sealer immediately upon delivery to job.
D. FERROUS METALS: Clean ferrous surfaces, which are not galvanized or shop-coated,
of oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale and other foreign substances by solvent or
mechanical cleaning.
1. Touch-up shop-applied prime coats wherever damaged or base, where required by

other sections of these specifications. Clean and touch-up with the same type shop
primer.
E. GALVANIZED SURFACES: Clean free of oil and surface contllminants with an
acceptable non-petroleum based solvent
3.03 MATERIALS PREPARATION:
A. MIX AND PREPARE painting materials in accordance with manufacturer's directions.
B. STORE MATERIALS not in actual use in tightly covered containers. Maintain
containers used in storage, mixing and application of paint in a clean condition, free of
foreign materials and residue.
C. STIR MATERIALS before application to produce a mixture of uniform density, and stir
as required during the application of the materials. Do not stir surface film. into the
material. Remove the film and if necessary, strain the material before using.
3.04 APPLICATION:
A. GENERAL: Apply paint in accordance with the manufacturer's directions. Use
applicators and techniques best suited for the substrate and type of material being
applied.
1. Apply additional coats when undercoats, stains or other conditions show through
the final coat of paint, until the paint :film is of uniform finish, color and
appearance. Give special attention to insure that all surfaces, including edges,
comers, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness
equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
2. Paint interior surfaces of ducts, where visible through registers or grills, with a flat,
non-specular black paint.
3. Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms and side edges the same as the exterior
faces, unless otherwise indicated.
4. Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.
B. SCHEDULING PAINTING: Apply the first-coat material to surfaces that have been
cleaned, pretreated or otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after
preparation and before subsequent surface deterioration.
1. Allow sufficient time between successive coatings to permit proper drying.
2. Do not recoat until paint has dried to where it feels firm, does not deform or feel
D. BRUSH APPLICATION: Brush-out and work all brush coats onto the surfaces in an
even film. Cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness, or
other surface imperfections will not be acceptable. Neatly draw all glass lines.
1. Brush apply all primer or first coats, unless otherwise permitted to use mechanical
applicators.
E. MECHANICAL APPLICATIONS: Use mechanical methods for paint application only
when permitted by governing ordinances and trade union regulations. If permitted, limit
to only those surfaces impracticable for brush applications.
1. Limit roller applications (generally) to interior wall and ceiling finishes for second
and third coats. Apply each roller coat to provide the equivalent hiding as brush-
applied.
2. Confine spray application (generally) to metal framework and similar surfaces
where hand brush work would be inferior.
3. Wherever spray application is used, apply each coat to provide the equivalent
hiding of brush-applied coats.
4. Do not double back with spray equipment for the purpose of building up film
thickness of 2 coasts in one pass.
3.05 CLEAN UP AND PROTECTION:
A. CLEAN-UP: During the progress of the work, remove from the site all discarded paint
materials, rubbish, cans and rags at the end of each work day.
1. Upon completion of painting work, clean window glass and other paint-spattered
surfaces. Remove spattered paint by proper methods of washing and scraping,
using care not to scratch or otherwise damage finished surfaces.
B. PROTECTION: Protect work of other trades. whether to be painted or not, against
damage by painting and finishing work. Correct any damage by cleaning, repairing or
replacing, and repainting, as acceptable to the Architect.
1. Provide "WET PAINT" signs as required to protect newly-painted finishes.
Remove temporary protective wrappings provided by others for protection of their
work, after completion of painting operations.
2. At the completion of work of other trades, touch-up and restore all damaged or
defaced painted surfaces.

In connection with the performance of work under this contract, the Contractor agrees not to
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, sex, religion, color, or
national origin. The aforesaid provision shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; lay-off or
termination; rates of payor other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post hereafter in conspicuous places, available for employees
or applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the contracting officer setting forth the
provisions of the non-discrimination clause.
The Contractor further agrees to insert the foregoing provisions in all contracts hereunder, including
contracts or agreements with labor unions and/or worker's representatives, except sub-contractors for
standard commercial supplies or raw materials.
It is mutually agreed between the parties hereto that time is of the essence of this contract, and in the
event that the work to be performed by the Contractor is not completed within the time stipulated
herein, it is then further agreed that the City may deduct from such sums or compensation as may be
due to the Contractor the sum of $1.000.00 oer day for each day that the work to be performed by the
Contractor remains incomplete beyond the time limit specified herein, which sum of $1.000.00 oer
day shall only and solely represent damages which the City has sustained by reason of the failure of
the Contractor to complete the work within the time stipulated, it being further agreed that this sum is
not to be construed as a penalty but is only to be construed as liquidated damages for failure of the
Contractor to complete and perform all work within the time period as specified in this contract.
It is further mutually agreed between the City and the Contractor that if, any time after the execution of
this contract and the surety bond which is attached hereto for the faithful performance of the terms and
conditions as contained herein by the Contractor, that the City shall at any time deem the surety or
sureties upon such performance bond to be unsatisfactory or if, for any reason, the said bond ceases to
be adequate in amount to cover the performance of the work the Contractor shall, at his or its own
expense, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from the City to do so, furnish an additional
bond or bonds in such term and amounts and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the
City. If such an event occurs, no further payment shall be made to the Contractor under the terms and
provisions of this contract until such new or additional security bond guaranteeing the faithful
performance of the work under the terms hereof shall be completed and furnished to the City in a form
satisfactory to it.
