EXTENT OF CONTRACT
\0083-04.08
The Advertisement for Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Summary of Information to Bidders,
Method of Payment, Proposal (as accepted), Contract, General Conditions, the Technical
Specifications, and the Drawings are, and shall be taken to be, parts of this Contract. All work
and materials mentioned in the specifications and not shown on the drawings and all work and
materials shown on the drawings and not mentioned in the specifications, and all work and
materials necessary for the completion of the work according to the true intent and meaning of
the contract drawings and specifications, and all work and materials required to complete the
entire facility as described in the Advertisement shall be furnished, performed and done, as if the
same were both mentioned in the specifications and shown on the drawings.
The drawings which accompany the specifications are herein designated contract drawings and
are for the purpose of illustrating the general character and extent of the work and are subject to
such modifications and elaboration's by the Owner and Engineer as may be found necessary or
advisable, either before or during the prosecution of the work, and the Contractor shall conform
to and abide by whatever supplementary drawings and explanations that may be furnished by the
Engineer for the purpose of illustrating the work. The Engineer shall decide as to the true
meaning or intention of any portion of the specifications and drawings where the same may be
found unclear or in conflict.
Should anything be omitted from the contract drawings or specifications which is necessary for a
clear understanding of the work, or should any error appear either in any of the various
instruments furnished or in the work done by other Contractors affecting the work included under
this contract, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer of such omissions or errors, and
in the event of the Contractor's failure to do so, he shall make good any damage to or defect in
his work caused thereby. He will not be allowed to take advantage of any error or omission on
the contract drawings, as full instructions will be furnished by the Engineer, should such error or

OBLIGATIONS OF CONTRACTOR
The Contractor shall, at his own cost and expense unless otherwise specified, furnish all the

respective classes of work and materials named in the Contract and proposals herein contained,

Acceptance or approval of the work or materials by the Owner does not relieve the Contractor
from liability for poor or defective workmanship and/or materials and any such acceptance or
approval is understood to relate to work or materials which can be observed and does in no way
pertain to latent defects or defects ascertainable through testing.

The Contractor shall not assign or sublet the whole or any part of the work without the written
consent of the Owner and without the written approval by the Owner of the specific party to
whom it is proposed to assign or sublet the same. No such consent and approval, and no approval
of the form of such assignment or subletting, shall release or relieve the Contractor from any of
the obligations and liabilities assumed by him under this Contract, and, as between the parties
hereto, the Contractor shall remain responsible and liable as if no such assignment or subletting
had been made. Nothing contained in the Contract documents shall create any contractual
relationship between any subcontractor and the Owner.
00700.05
SEPARATE CONTRACTS
The owner reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with this work. The Contractor
shall afford other contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their
materials and the execution of their work, and shall properly connect and coordinate his work
with theirs.
If any part of the Contractor's work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any
other contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the Owner any defects in
such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. His failure to so inspect
and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other contractor's work as fit and proper for the
reception of his work except as to defects which may develop in the other contractor's work after
the execution of his work.
To insure the proper execution of his subsequent work, the Contractor shall measure work
already in place and shall at once report to the Owner any discrepancy between the executed
work and the drawings.
Wherever work being done by the Owner's forces or by other contractors is contiguous to work
covered by this Contract, the respective rights of the various interests involved shall be
established by the Owner, to secure the completion of the various portions of the work in general
harmony.
00700.06
BONDS
The bidder to whom the Contract is awarded must, within ten (10) calendar days following notice
of award, present himself to the place designated in the official notice of acceptance, for signing
of the Contract and the plans, and to substitute for the bid security, a surety performance-payment
bond in the amount of thirty per centrum (30%) of the Contract price, conditioned that the
Contractor will faithfully perform all work of this contract and promptly pay for all materials
furnished and labor supplied or performed in the prosecution of all work. All bonds and
insurance shall be issued by companies authorized to transact business in the State of Florida and
acceptable to the Owner.
00700.07
ADDITIONAL OR SUBSTITUTE BOND
10083-04.08
If at any time the Owner shall be or become dissatisfied with any Surety or Sureties then upon the
Performance, Maintenance, Material and Labor Bond, or if for any reason such Bonds shall cease
to be adequate security to the Owner, the Contractor shall, within five (5) days after notice from
the Owner to do so, substitute an acceptable bond or bonds in such form and sum and signed by
such other Sureties as may be satisfactory to the Owner. The premium on such Bond or Bonds
shall be paid for by the Contractor. No further payments shall be deemed due nor shall be made
until the new Sureties have qualified.
00700.08
INSURANCE
A: General
The Contractor shall not commence work under this contract until he has obtained all insurance
required, as specified on the "Summary of Information to Bidders," submitted certificates for this
insurance, and such insurance has been approved by the Owner; nor shall the Contractor allow
any subcontractor to commence work on his subcontract until all similar insurance required of
the subcontractor has been so obtained and approved. The Owner, however, may accept
insurance covering a subcontractor in character and amounts less than the standard requirements
because of the character or the extent of the work to be performed by such subcontractor, such
acceptance by the Owner must be expressly stated in writing.
B: Worker's Compensation
The Contractor shall take out and maintain during the life of this contract adequate Worker's
Compensation Insurance for all his employees employed at the site of the project and in case any

Compensation Insurance for the latter's employees, unless such employees are covered by the
protection afforded by the Contractor. Coverage shall include Employer's Liability, Voluntary
Compensation and U.S. Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers Act Coverage where applicable.
The Contractor shall, at all times, indemnify and save harmless the Owner and the Engineer, of
and from all claims for Worker's Compensation which may be made by any of the employees of
the Contractor or by any of the employees of any subcontractor to whom the Contractor may have
let the performance of any part of the work embraced by this Contract and the Contractor will
appear for and defend the Owner and Engineer against any and all such claims.
C: Public Liability and Property Damage
Each Contractor shall take out and maintain during the life of the Contract such Public Liability
and Property Damage Insurance as shall protect the Owner, the Engineer, the Contractor, and any
subcontractor performing work covered by this Contract from claims for damages for personal
injury, including wrongful death, as well as from claims for property damages, which may arise

alone shall be responsible for any and all damage, loss or injury to persons or property that may
rise, or be incurred, in or during the conduct or progress of said work without regard to whether
or not the Contractor, his subcontractors, agents, or employees have been negligent; and that
Contractor shall keep the Owner and Engineer free from, and shall discharge any and all
responsibility and therefore of any sort or kind. The Contractor shall assume all responsibility for
risks or casualties of every description, for any or all damage, loss or injury to persons or
property arising out of the nature of the work, from the action of the elements, or from any

Contract, satisfied himself as the nature and location of the work, the conformation of the
ground, the character, quality, and the quantity of the materials which will be required, the
character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of the
work, the general and local conditions, and of all other matters which can in any way affect the
scope of the work under this Contract. Information concerning the general condition of the
project site existing at the time of bidding is presented in the plans and specifications solely for
information and convenience in describing the work to be accomplished and the use by the
Contractor of such information cannot in any way relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities as
outlined herein for determining the actual conditions existing at the site and for basing his bid
price upon such conditions. No verbal agreement or conversation with any officer, agent,
employee of the Owner, or the Engineer, either before or after the execution of this Contract,
shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations herein contained. Failure to comply with
any or all of the requirements will not relieve Contractor from the responsibility of properly
estimating the difficulty or costs of successful completion of the work nor from the responsibility
for the faithful performance of the provisions of this Contract.
00700.14

responsible for any claims made against the Owner, its agents and employees for any actual or
alleged infringement of patents by the use of any patented articles, appliances, etc., in the
construction and completion of the work, and shall save harmless and indemnify the Owner, its
agents and employees from all costs, expenses, and damages, including attorney's fees which the
Owner may be obliged to pay by reason of any actual or alleged infringements of patents used in
the construction and completion ofthe work herein specified.
00700.15
PERMITS AND LICENSES
Permits and licenses of a temporary nature necessary for the prosecution of the work shall be
secured and paid for by the Contractor unless otherwise specified. Permits, licenses and
easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing facilities will be secured
and paid for by the Owner, unless otherwise specified.
The Contractor shall give all notices and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
bearing on the conduct of the work as drawn and specified. If the Contractor observes that the
drawings and specifications are at variance therewith, he shall promptly notify the Engineer in
writing, and any necessary changes shall be adjusted as provided in the contract for changes in
the work. If the Contractor performs any work knowing it to be contrary to such laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations, and without such notice to the Engineer, he shall bear all costs
arising there from.
00700.16
LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The Contractor at all times shall observe and comply with all Federal, State, Local, and/or
Municipal laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations in any manner and those which may be
enacted later, or bodies or tribunals having jurisdiction or authority over the work and shall

the violation of any such law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, or decree.
The bidder is assumed to have made himself familiar with all Federal, State, Local,. and
Municipal laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations which in any manner affect those engaged or
employed in the work, or the materials or equipment used in or upon the work, or in any way
affect the work and no plea of misunderstanding will be considered an excuse for the ignorance
thereof.
00700.17
DIMENSIONS AND ELEVATIONS
Figured dimensions on drawings shall take precedence over the measurements by scale, and
detailed working drawings are to take precedence over general drawings and shall be considered
as explanatory of them. In case of conflict between dimensions or scales the Engineer shall make
all necessary final clarifications.
00700.18
PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND SHOP DRAWINGS
The specifications are intended to supplement and clarify the plans. Work is sometimes called for
in the specifications that is not shown completely on the plans; and the plans sometimes indicate
10083-04.08
work that is not mentioned in the specifications. Both plans and specifications must be complied
with completely in order to fulfill the Contract requirements; and whether or not the work is
specifically defined in any bid item, any work called for by either is as binding as if it were called
for by both. The construction drawings, as prepared prior to receiving bids, are intended to
describe the general scope of the work and to form the basis of comparable bids and may be
supplemented after award of the contract with manufacturer's shop drawings, detailed working
drawings and other detailed data necessary to thoroughly describe the requirements of the
finished facility. In no case, however, will such supplemental information form the basis of
claims by the Contractor for increased compensation and in no case will the required work
described by the supplemental information be considered as extra work. In case of conflict
between plans and specifications, the Engineer shall be the sole judge of which shall prevail. The
Engineer shall make all necessary explanations as to the true meaning and intent of the plans and
specifications. Any errors or omissions in the plans and specifications may be corrected by the
Engineer when such corrections are necessary for the proper completion of the work.
The Contractor shall sign and stamp approved all shop or setting drawings for items of
equipment on which he has bid and proposes to install, to verify field dimensions, design criteria,
and materials. After the Contractor has signed and approved the shop drawings, they shall be
promptly submitted to the Owner in quadruplicate for review for conformance with the design
concepts of the project. The Contractor shall call Owner's attention to any deviation in the shop
drawings or submittals from the requirements of the plans and specifications. No deviation from
the plans and specifications shall be approved without a written Change Order. Changes or
corrections may be noted by the Owner and one copy will be returned to the Contractor. The
Contractor shall make any corrections required by the Owner and shall return the required
number of corrected copies of shop drawings until no exception is taken. The Contractor shall
direct specific attention in writing to revisions on resubmitted shop drawings other than the
corrections called for by the Owner on previous submissions. Contractor's stamp of approval on
any shop drawings shall constitute a representation to the Owner that the Contractor has either
verified all quantities, dimensions, field construction criteria, materials, catalog numbers, and
similar data or he assumes full responsibility for doing so and that he has reviewed or
coordinated each shop drawing with the requirements of the work and the Contract documents.
The shop drawings in no way become a part of the Contract documents but are furnished for
informational purposes only. Regardless of corrections made in, review or approval given to such
drawings by the Engineer, the Contractor shall be responsible for the accuracy of such drawings
and for their conformity to the Contract plans and specifications.
00700.19
DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS FURNISHED TO CONTRACTORS
The successful General Contractor shall be entitled to receive from the Owner six (6) free sets of
Contract drawings and speci~cations.

EXAMINATION OF THE WORK
\0083-04.08
The authority and duties of the resident project representatives when provided and authorized as
employees of the Engineer and when the employment thereof is authorized and paid by the
Owner, are limited to examining the material furnished, observing the work done and reporting
their findings to the Engineer. The Engineer does not underwrite, guarantee or insure the work
done by the Contractor. It is the Contractor's responsibility to perform the work in all details in
accordance with the Contract Documents, and the Engineer shall never be responsible or liable to
either the Owner or the Contractor or any other party by reason of the Contractor's failure to do
so. Failure by the Engineer or by any project representative or other representative of the Owner
engaged in on-the-site observation to discover defects or deficiencies in the work of the
Contractor shall never, under any circumstances, relieve the Contractor from his responsibility
therefore to the Owner, or subject the Engineer to any liability to the Owner, the Contractor, or
any other party for any such defect or deficiency.
Project representatives shall have no authority to permit deviation from or to modify any of the
provisions of the Drawings or Specifications without the written permission or instruction of the
Engineer, or to delay the Contractor by failure to observe the materials and work with reasonable
promptness.
The Engineer, his representatives, employees, or any resident project representative in the
employment of the Engineer will not have authority to supervise, direct, expedite or otherwise
control and instruct or order the Contractor or his employees in the fulfillment of the Contractor's
obligation. The Owner's instructions, orders, directions and/or orders to the Contractor shall be
given only through the Engineer, or his employees. The Engineer may only advise the Contractor
when it appears to the Engineer that the work and/or materials do not conform to the
requirements of the Contract Documents, including the Drawings and Specifications.
The payment of any compensation, irrespective of its character or form, or the giving of any
gratuity, or the granting or any valuable favor, directly or indirectly, by the Contractor to any
project representative, is strictly prohibited, and any such act on the part of the Contractor will
constitute a violation of the contract.
If the Contract Oocuments, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority
having jurisdiction require any work to specifically be inspected, tested, or approved by someone
other than the Contractor, the Contractor will give the Engineer timely notice of readiness
therefore. The Contractor will furnish the Engineer the required certificates of inspection, testing
or approval. All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed by the American
Society for Testing and Materials, or such other applicable organization as may be required by
law or the Contract Documents. If any such work required so to be inspected, tested or approved
is covered without written approval of the Engineer, it must, if requested by the Engineer, be
uncovered for observation at the Contractor's expense. The cost of all such inspections, tests and
approvals shall be borne by the Contractor unless otherwise provided.

site intended to be used in the work and all injury or damage done to the same from whatever
cause as well as any damage done by him, his agents, employees and for subcontractors in the
performance of the work, shall be made good by him at his own expense before the fmal payment
is made. The Contractor shall be responsible for the preservation of all trees along and adjacent
to the work and shall use every precaution necessary to prevent damage or injury thereto. The
Contractor shall not willfully or maliciously injure or destroy trees or shrubs, and he shall not

items of the work to be done under this contract.
00700.27
USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS
The Owner shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially
completed portions of the work, notwithstanding that the time for completing the entire work or
such portions may not have expired but such taking possession and use shall not be deemed an
acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the Contract Documents. If such prior
use increases the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled to such extra
compensation, or extension of time, or both, as the Owner may determine.
00700.28
THE OWNER'S RIGHT TO DO WORK
If the Contractor should neglect to prosecute the work properly or fail to perform any provision
of this contract, the Owner, after three days' written notice to the Contractor may, without
prejudice to any other remedy he may have, make good such deficiencies and may deduct the
cost thereof from the payment then or thereafter due the Contractor.
00700.29
ALTERATION OF PLANS
10083-04.08
The Engineer reserves the right to make such alterations in the plans or in the character of the
work as may be considered necessary or desirable from time to time to complete fully the
construction of the work, provided such alterations do not change materially the original plans
and specifications, and such alterations shall not be considered as a waiver of any condition of
the contract nor to invalidate any of the provisions thereof.
No alterations in the plans or in the character of the work shall be made without the previous
written approval ofthe Engineer and/or Inspector.
00700.30
UNAUTHORIZED WORK
Work done without lines and grades being given, work done beyond the lines and grades shown
on the plans or as given, except as herein provided, or any extra work done without written
authority, will be considered as unauthorized and at the expense of the Contractor and will not be
accepted or paid for by the Owner. The Owner may order that work so done be removed and
replaced at the Contractor's expense.
00700.31
CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST
If the Contractor claims that any instructions by drawings or otherwise involves extra cost under
this contract, he shall give the Owner written notice thereof within a reasonable time after the
receipt of such instructions, and in any event before proceeding to execute the work, except in
emergency endangering life or property, and the procedure shall then be as provided for changes
in the work. No such claim shall be valid unless so made.
00700.32
CHANGES IN THE WORK
If for any reason it be deemed necessary in the opinion of the Owner to make any variations in
the scope or nature of the work, which variations increase or decrease the quantities of the work
specified, or change the location to an extent not unreasonably affecting the conditions of the
work, and further interpreted by the Owner as involving no classes of work other than those
called for by this contract, the Contractor shall, upon written order from the Owner to that effect,
make such variations. If such variations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, no claim
for damages or for anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with shall thereby
accrue to the Contractor, and the value of the work dispensed with will not be included in any
payments made to the Contractor. If such variations increase the amount of the work, the value of
such increase shall be determined and fixed by the Owner in accordance with the quantity of such
work actually done, and at the unit prices stipulated in the contract.
All major changes will be issued in a standard form which will contain a description of the work
involved in the change, a reference to the proper construction drawings or revised drawings and
will not be effective until signed by the Owner and Contractor.
Such alterations or changes as are mentioned in this section shall not vitiate or annul the
obligations of the contract or the agreement for the work.

alterations thereof, materially affect the character of the work, or any part thereof, or materially
affect the compensation for the same, then the work shall be classed as extra work.
00700.33

The Owner may at any time, by a written order, without notice to the Sureties, and without
invalidating the contract, require the performance of such extra work or substantial changes in
the work as it may find necessary or desirable. The amount of compensation to be paid to the
Contractor for any extra work, as ordered, shall be determined as follows:
(a) By unit prices named in contract and subsequently agreed upon.
(b) By a lump sum mutually agreed upon by the Owner and the Contractor; or
(c) If no such unit prices are set forth and if the parties cannot agree upon a lump sum, then
by the actual net cost in money to the Contractor of the wages of applied labor (including
premiums for Worker's Compensation Insurance, and Social Security taxes); plus twenty
per centum (20%) as compensation for all items of profit, administration, overhead,
superintendence, insurance other than Worker's Compensation Insurance, materials used

SUSPENSION OF WORK
The Owner shall have the right to suspend the whole or any part of the work, when, in the
opinion of the Owner, the Contractor is not doing the work in accordance with the provisions of
the contract and specifications.
If, in the judgment of the representatives of the Owner, the Contractor is taking undue risk of
damage to any part of the construction by proceeding with the work during unfavorable weather
or other conditions, then the Owner shall immediately verbally notify the Contractor or his
representatives on the site confirming the same in writing. The Owner may thereupon suspend
the work temporarily, either wholly or in part for such periods as may be necessary on account of
conditions unfavorable for the safe and proper prosecution of the work. In case of such
suspension, a proper extension of time may be required by the Contractor but, regardless whether
it is granted or not, no allowance will be made of the Contractor for any expense resulting there
from. The Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor in any manner for any expenses, damages,
loss of profits, anticipated or otherwise, or any other charges whatsoever arising out of a
suspension in the work of either this Contractor or any Contractor engaged on this project. It
shall be clearly understood that the failure of the Owner to so advise shall not relieve the
Contractor of his responsibility for compliance with the conditions ofthe contract.

Should the Contractor fail to comply with any orders of the Owner relative to any particular parts
of the work, the Owner shall have the right to suspend the work on any or all parts until its orders
respecting the particular parts are complied with. In case of such suspension, which shall be
considered due to the fault of the Contractor, no extension of time shall be given and no
allowance will be made for the expense of the Contractor on account of idle equipment or forces
during the terms of such suspension.
00700.35
DEFECTIVE WORK OR MATERIALS
If at any time any materials or workmanship should be discovered which do not comply with the
plans, specifications and contract drawings, such defective work and/or material shall
immediately be removed or corrected by the Contractor when notified to do so by the Owner, and
such defects shall be replaced or corrected at the Contractor's expense. Any work or materials
condemned by the Owner as unsuitable or improperly done shall be removed and repaired or
otherwise remedied, as the Owner may require.
If the Contractor shall neglect or refuse to remove or replace defective work or materials within
seven (7) days from the date of the notice from the Owner to do so, then the Owner may remove
or cause the same to be removed and satisfactorily replaced by contract or otherwise, as they may
deem expedient, and they may and are empowered, to charge the expense thereof to the
Contractor. The expense so charged will be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such monies
as are or may become due under this agreement, or if such monies are not sufficient to meet said
expense, the additional monies shall be furnished by the Contractor, and ifhe refuses or neglects
to provide the necessary monies they shall be provided by his Surety.
00700.36
ABANDONMENT OF WORK
Should the Contractor abandon, or in any manner fail to complete the work, the Owner is hereby
authorized and empowered to pay any workmen who may have been employed by the Contractor,
for work done, and to pay any claims against the Contractor for material furnished, out of any
funds that would otherwise be due or become due the Contractor under this Contract, and in
every such case the Owner is hereby authorized and empowered to ascertain the amount or
amounts so due or owning to the workmen, or for materials so furnished; and the amount or
amounts so found to be due and payable, shall be final and conclusive against the Contractor, and
may thereafter be paid by the Owner to said labor, or to liquidated claims for materials furnished;
and any partial or final payment may be withheld from the Contractor until all such claims for
labor or material on his Contract have been satisfied.
00700.37
FORFEITURE OF CONTRACT
The Owner, at any time during the continuance of the contract for the work herein provided for,
and prior to the date of acceptance of the work as hereinafter provided, shall have the right and
power to declare the whole or any part of the same forfeited for the violation of any of the
conditions, terms, requirements, or limitations herein contained, or if the performance of the
Contract is unnecessarily or unreasonable delayed, or if the Contractor is not progressing with the
work as fast as is necessary to insure its completion within the time specified and as required by

his Contract, or if the Contractor is showing bad faith in carrying out the Contract, or if the work
not be fully completed within the fixed time in this Contract for its completion, or within the
time to which such completion may be extended as hereinafter provided, or further, if the
Contractor shall fail to or refuse to remedy or repair defective work or materials when so ordered
as herein provided. If the Owner shall declare the said contract forfeited, in whole or in any
particular, such declaration of forfeiture shall in no way relieve or affect the liability of the
Contractor and his Sureties for breach of any of the covenants and conditions of said Contract.
00700.38
THE OWNER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE CONTRACT
If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he should make a general assignment for
the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his insolvency, or if
he should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail to supply enough properly skilled
workmen or proper materials, or if he should fail to make prompt payment to subcontractors for
material or labor, or persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the Owner, or
otherwise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of the Contract, then the Owner,
upon determining that sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may, without prejudice to any
other right or remedy and after giving the Contractor seven (7) days' written notice, terminate the
employment of the Contractor and take possession of the premises and of all materials, tools and
appliances thereon and finish the work by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case
the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished. If
the unpaid balance of the Contract price shall exceed the expense of finishing the work, including
compensation for additional managerial and administrative services, such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If such expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor or his Sureties
shall pay the difference to the Owner. The expense incurred by the Owner as herein provided,
and the damage incurred through the Contractor's default, shall be certified by the Engineer.
00700.39 CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT TO STOP WORK OR TERMINATE CONTRACT
If the work should be stopped under an order of any court, or other public authority, for a period
of three (3) months, through no act or fault of the Contractor or of anyone employed by him, or if
the Owner fails to make timely payments for completed work, then the Contractor may, upon
seven (7) days' written notice to the Owner, stop work or terminate this Contract and recover
from the Owner payment for all work executed and any loss sustained upon any plant or
materials and reasonable profit and damages.
00700.40
NO WAIVER OF CONTRACT
Neither an extension of time, for any reason, beyond the date fixed herein for the completion of
the Contract, nor the delivery and acceptance of any articles or materials, nor any payment for,
nor acceptance of the whole or any part of the work by the Owner, nor any possession taken by
the Owner or its employees or agents, shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Owner of the right to
abrogate this Contract for abandonment or delay or non- performance in the manner herein
provided, nor shall it operate to void or annul any of the terms of this Contract.
00700.41
NO ESTOPPEL
10083-04.08
Neither the Owner, nor any agent or officer thereof shall be precluded or estopped by any return
or certificate made or given by the Owner or other officer, agent or appointee of the Owner under
any provision of this agreement at any time, either before or after final approval and acceptance
of the work and final payment therefore, from showing the true and correct amount and character
of the work done and materials furnished by the Contractor or any other person under this
agreement or that any such return, or certificate, is untrue and incorrect or improperly made in
any particular, or that the work and materials, or any part thereof, do not, in fact, conform to the
specifications and Contract Drawings, and the Owner shall not be precluded or estopped
notwithstanding any such return or certificate and payment in accordance therewith, from
demanding and recovering from the Contractor such damages as it may sustain by reason of his
failure to comply with the specification and Contract Drawings.
00700.42
TIME FOR COMPLETION
Work on this Contract shall be commenced on a date specified in a written order of the Owner.
The work shall be carried on with such force and in such manner and order and at such points
that within the time limit designated in the Contract, or as may be modified or extended as
hereinafter provided, and as computed from the date stated in the notice to commence work, the
whole work and its parts shall be performed in accordance with the terms of this Contract.
00700.43
COMPLETION OF WORK DEFINED
The time for the completion of the herein specified work is defined as that state when, in the
opinion of the Owner or his authorized representative, all the work required to be performed
under the terms of the Contract plans, specifications and extra work orders has been completed
and the entire facility including appurtenances is ready for continuous permanent use for the
purpose intended. After this date there may still remain some cleaning up of Contractor's plant or
minor work and/or adjustments, which do not prevent the permanent use of the project.
00700.44
DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
If the Contractor shall be delayed at any time in the progress ofthe work by any cause beyond the
Contractor's control and without his fault or negligence, including but not restricted to any act or
neglect of the Owner, or of his agents or employees, or by any other Contractor employed by the
Owner, or by changes ordered in the work, acts of God or of the public enemy, fires, floods,
epidemics, quarantines, strikes, lockouts, riots, civil commotions or freight embargoes or by
delay authorized by the Owner, or by any cause which the Owner shall decide to justify the delay,
then the time of completion shall be extended for such reasonable time as the Owner shall
decide. No claim for increased compensation shall be paid for delays.
No such extension shall be made for delay occurring more than seven (7) days before claim
therefore is made in writing to the Owner. In the case of a continuing cause of delay, only one
claim is necessary.

It is mutually agreed by and between the parties hereto that time is an essential part of this
Contract, and that, if the Contractor shall fail to complete the work or any part thereof within the
time fixed in the Contract, the Owner will suffer damages the amount of which cannot
reasonably be determined at this time, and therefore agree that the Owner may retain as
liquidated damages incident to such delay, from the monies that are or which may become due
said Contractor, such sum per day as specified in the Proposal for each and every calendar day
the completion of the work be delayed beyond the time specified herein for such completion. In
addition to liquidated damages indicated herein, the Contractor will be responsible for additional
costs of construction phase engineering services caused by his failure to complete work within
the time specified.
00700.46
PRICES
The Owner will pay, and the Contractor shall receive, the prices stipulated in the proposal herein
contained or hereto annexed, as full compensation for furnishing all the equipment and materials,
and performing all the labor which may be necessary in the prosecution of the work required to
provide the complete facility as defined in this Contract.
00700.47
PARTIAL ESTIMATES AND PAYMENTS
If the work progresses according to this Contract, the Owner will make partial payments to the
Contractor each month on the basis of a confirmed estimate of the work performed during the
preceding calendar month by the Contractor. Upon such estimate being made and confirmed and
approved by the Owner, the Owner will pay to the Contractor ninety per centum (90%) of the
amount established in such an estimate as the value of the work completed. Such payment shall
be considered, however, only as an advance payment and not as part of the final payment to the
Contractor; and the Owner may at all times reserve and retain out of any or all of the said partial
payments all such sums as it is or may be authorized to reserve or retain. .
It is understood and agreed that, should the Owner at any time during the progress of the work
consider the amount withheld on monthly estimates of payment to be in excess of the amount
necessary to complete the work or necessary for the full and ample protection of the Owner, then
the Owner, may reduce the percentage retained to an amount sufficient for the Owner's proper
protection.
No estimates given, nor payments made, shall be conclusive of the performance of the contract
either wholly or in part, and no estimates, payments or certificates of final payment shall be
construed to be an acceptance of inferior or defective work or materials.
00700.48
PAYMENTS~THHELD
The Owner may withhold or, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole
or a part of any certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on
account of:
1. Defective work not remedied.
\0083-04.08
2. Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims.
3. Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors, or for material,
labor or equipment.
4. A reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance, then unpaid.
5. Damage to another Contractor.
6. Failure of Contractor to clean-up or restore the project site or rights-of-way.
7. Insolvency of Contractor.
8. Manifest intent of Contractor not to proceed diligently or to complete this contract.
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of
them.
00700.49
LIENS AND FINAL PAYMENTS
Neither the final payment nor any part of the retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor, if required, shall deliver to the Owner a complete release of all liens arising out of
this Contract, or receipts in full in lieu thereof and, if required in either case, an affidavit that so
far as he has knowledge or information the releases and receipts include all the labor and material
for which a lien could be filed; but the Contractor may, if any subcontractor refuses to furnish a
release or receipt in full, furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner, to indemnify the Owner
against any lien. If any lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor shall
refund to the Owner all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such a lien,
including all administrative costs and a reasonable attorney's fee.
The final payment shall not become due and payable until the Contractor shall have furnished the
Owner with satisfactory evidence that all labor, materials, outstanding claims and indebtedness
of whatsoever nature arising out of the performance of the Contract have been paid, and until the
Contractor shall have furnished a written statement to such effect executed by Contractor and
Sureties, which will further provide that payment to the Contractor of the final estimate shall not
relieve any Surety of its obligation to the Owner as set forth in the Surety Bonds. Where one or
more claims against the Contractor which are in controversy appear unsatisfied, the Owner shall
have the discretion to direct final payment to be made, or a partial payment to be made from the
retained percentage, should it be determined that the withholding of the entire final payment
would work a hardship on the Contractor or delay the final payments of other Contractors or
subcontractors on the project. In such cases, the Contractor and Sureties shall provide the
evidences and statements required under this paragraph, but shall itemize the claims which
remain unsatisfied, giving the reason therefore, and the statements of the Surety Companies shall
provide that the final payment or partial payment, as the case may be, shall not relieve any Surety
of any obligations to the Owner as set forth in the Surety Bonds. If only partial payment from the
retained percentage is permitted under this paragraph, the final payment shall not be made until
the Contractor shall have furnished satisfactory evidence and a statement from the Surety that all

Surety's Bond.
00700.50
FINAL APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORK
Following the completion of this Contract, as such completion is defined in the Specifications
and as soon thereafter as practicable, the Owner, his representative or the Engineer will review
the work and will make a final estimate of the amount and value of work done by the Contractor.
If the said work appears to be satisfactory and appears to be done in accordance with the
provisions and terms of the Contract Documents, the Owner, upon notice of completion from his
representative, and within forty-five (45) days after the final estimate of work is made and
confirmed as correct and unpaid and is approved, will pay to the Contractor the full value of the
work done under this Contract less any amounts previously paid and less any advances
whatsoever, and the Owner will certify the work as completed and will accept it. Said acceptance
will, however, be in all events conditional upon the subsequent remedying by the Contractor of
defects in workmanship or materials which may become apparent within a period of one (1) year
(or a longer period as required elsewhere in the Contract Documents) following the date of
acceptance as herein required. In the event the Owner refuses or declines to certify the work as
completed and accepted and make final payment therefore within forty-five (45) days after notice
and certification, the Owner shall immediately set forth in writing to the Contractor the reasons
for such non-acceptance of the work. After all valid reasons for non-acceptance have been
removed, the Owner shall execute the final certificate of completion and acceptance and shall
make final payment. The certification of completion and acceptance of the work will be a
prerequisite to final payment hereunder.
All prior estimates and payments, including those relating to extra work, shall be subject to
correction or adjustment by the final cost estimate. Such final payment, however, shall not serve
as a release of the Contractor or of his Sureties from the previously required guarantee against
defects in Contract performance for a period of one (1) year following the date of acceptance of
the work by the Owner.
The acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment, made as aforesaid, shall operate as and
shall be a release to the Owner and to the Engineer and every member and agent of both said
parties from all claims and liabilities to the Contractor for anything done or furnished for, or
relating to the work, or for any act or neglect of the Owner or the Engineer or of any person
relating to or effecting the work, but this final payment shall not relieve the Contractor from his
indemnity, guarantee and/or warranty obligations under the terms of the Contract.
As soon as is practicable after twelve (12) months have elapsed from the date of completion as
herein defined, the Owner shall make a review and re-inspection of the work and performance of
this contract, or cause the same to be made. If the said performance and work shall be found
satisfactory and work not to have deteriorated through defects in workmanship or materials, then
the Owner shall certify the release of the Surety on the Bond for Performance of Contract. If,
however, the review and re-inspection, or any prior inspection, discloses defects due to the
non-fulfillment of this Contract, or non-compliance with its requirements, the Owner shall so
notify the Contractor in writing, and thereupon the Contractor shall, at his own expense, repair or
10083-04.08
replace and shall make good all defects in workmanship, materials, and guarantee, and shall
rectify any non-compliance, and such repairs and fulfillment shall be a prerequisite to the release
of the Surety on the Bond. If, however, the Contractor shall, after due notice, refuse or neglect to
make good the defects to the satisfaction of the Owner, then the Owner may, and is hereby
empowered to, proceed in the manner prescribed in the event of abandonment or forfeiture of the
work by the Contractor, in which case completion by the Owner and the payment of claims for
material and labor and other expense as provided in such procedures, shall be a prerequisite to
the release of the Surety on the Bond for Performance of Contract.
Within thirteen (13) months after the date of acceptance of the work, or as soon thereafter as
practical, as hereinbefore provided, following a re-inspection, and provided further that any
repairs necessitated by defects in material or workmanship as determined by the Owner in the
re-inspection shall have been made, the Owner will, in writing, finally release the Contractor, his
Sureties and all parties hereunder.

the pipe. Any damage to the sheeting shall be cause for rejection of the affected
portion of the work. Not more than IOO-feet of trench shall be opened ahead of
pipe laying operations at one time unless the Owner's Representative approves a
greater length of open trench.
c. In areas where trench widths are not limited by right-of-way, and/or easement
widths, property line restrictions, existing adjacent improvements, including
pavements, structures and other utilities, and maintenance of traffic, the trench
sides may be sloped to a stable angle of repose of the excavated material. A
substantially and safely constructed movable shield, "box" or "mole" may be used
in place of sheeting when the trench is opened immediately ahead of the shield
and closed immediately behind the shield as pipe laying proceeds inside the
shield.
D. Ladders or steps shall be provided for and used by workmen to enter and leave
trenches.
E. Pipe trenches for utility lines shall be excavated to a width within the limits of the
top of the pipe and the trench bottom so as to provide a clearance on each side of
the pipe barrel, measured to the face of the excavation or sheeting, if used, of 8-
inches to 12-inches. Where the pipe size exceeds 12-inches, the clearance shall be
from 12-inches to 18-inches. All pipe trenches shall be excavated to a level 8-
inches below the outside bottom of the proposed pipe barrel.

Representative. The disposal area shall be finish graded upon completion of the
work.
3.03 REMOVAL OF WATER
A. It is a basic requirement of these specifications that excavations shall be free from
water before pipe or structures are installed. However, it is realized that in certain
sections of the work this cannot be accomplished economically and the Contractor
may elect to use the Alternate Method of Construction.
B. The Contractor shall provide all necessary pumps, underdrains, well-point
systems, and other means for removing water from trenches and other parts of the
work. The Contractor shall continue dewatering operations until the backfill has
progressed to a sufficient depth over the pipe to prevent flotation or movement of
the pipe in the trench and so that it is above the natural water table.
c. Water from the trenches and excavation shall be disposed of in such a manner as
will not cause injury to public health, to public or private property, to the work
completed or in progress, to the surface of the streets, or cause any interference
with the use of the same by the public. The Contractor shall submit his proposed
methods of handling trench water and locations at which the water will be
disposed of to the Owner's Representative for approval and shall receive approval
before starting the excavation.
3.04 PIPE BEDDING
A. As described above, all pipe trenches shall be excavated to a level 8-inches below
the outside bottom of the proposed pipe barrel. The resulting excavation shall be
backfilled with approved pipe bedding materials, up to the level of the lower one-
third of the proposed pipe barrel. This backfill shall be tamped and compacted to
provide a proper bedding for the pipe and shall then be shaped to receive the pipe.
Bedding shall be provided under the branch of all fittings to furnish adequate
support and bearing under the fitting. Bedding material for piping shall be pea
rock, drainfield lime rock, or similar materials as approved by the Owner's
Representative. Lime rock screenings, sand or other fine inorganic material from
the excavation may be used for bedding material when pipe is installed above the
natural water table.
B. Any excavation below the levels required for installation of the pipe bedding,
except for "Additional Excavation", as hereinafter specified, shall be backfilled
MS082393
with approved bedding material, tamped, compacted and shaped to provide proper
support for the proposed pipe, at no additional cost to the Owner's Representative.

or meter vaults shall be filled with Class I concrete. The use of earth, rock, sand
or other materials for this purpose will not be permitted.
3.06 TRENCH STABILIZATION
A. No claim for extras, or additional payment will be considered for cost incurred in
the stabilization of trench bottoms, which are rendered soft or unstable as a result
of construction methods, such as improper or inadequate sheeting, dewatering or
other causes. In no event shall pipe be installed when such conditions exist and
the Contractor shall correct such conditions so as to provide proper bedding or
foundations for the proposed installation at no additional cost to the Owner.
3.07 SPECIAL PIPE FOUNDATION
A. General: When shown on the Drawings or when directed by the Owner, the
Contractor shall provide the special type of pipe foundation in lieu of the pipe
bedding as specified above and provide the additional excavation required.
B. Type A Pipe Foundation: Type A pipe foundation shall be used when and where
directed by the Owner's Representative. Foundation material shall be crushed,
graded, local limestone suitable for use as concrete aggregate. Gradation shall be
such that 95-100 percent of the material will pass a I-inch square opening
laboratory sieve. Material shall be placed from I-foot below the barrel of the pipe
to 6-inches above the pipe and the width of the foundation material as placed
around the pipe shall not be less than the outside diameter of the pipe, plus 12-
inches. Construction of Type A pipe foundation shall be as shown or indicated on
the Drawings. Foundation material shall be placed in the bottom of the trench and
compacted to an elevation, which will provide firm bedding for the full pipe
length, after which material shall be placed and compacted evenly on both sides of
the pipe and above the pipe to an elevation 6-inches above the top of the pipe
barrel. Pipe shall not be displaced or damaged during placement and compaction
of the foundation material.
C. Type B Pipe Foundation: Where soft, yielding, unstable or other unsatisfactory
material exists at the bottom of the trench, the Owner's Representative may direct
the use of Type B Pipe Foundation. Only the pipe foundation ordered by the

A. Backfilling of utility trenches will not be allowed until the work has been
approved by the Owner's Representative, pressure tested if required, and the
Owner's Representative indicates that backfilling may proceed. Any work which
is covered or concealed without the knowledge and consent of the Owner's
Representative shall be uncovered or exposed for inspection at no cost to the
Owner's Representative. Partial backfill may be made to restrain the pipe during
pressure testing.
B. Backfill material shall be noncohesive, nonplastic material free of all debris,
organic material, lumps, clods and broken paving. Backfill material placed within
I-foot of piping and appurtenances shall not contain any stones or rocks larger
than 2-inches in diameter (I-inch for PVC) and no stones or rocks larger than 6-
inches in diameter will be permitted in any backfill.
C. If a sufficient quantity of suitable backfill material is not available from the trench
or other excavations within the site of the work, the Owner's Representative will
order the Contractor to provide additional material suitable for this purpose. The
additional material shall be installed as specified herein. No paYment will.be
made for additional backfill material used to replace nonplastic material (rock)
over 6-inches in diameter.
D. Selected backfill material containing no stone or rocks larger than 2-inches shall
be placed in 6-inch layers and thoroughly tamped to a depth of 12-inches over the
top of the pipe. Particular attention and care shall be exercised in obtaining
thorough support for the branch of all service connection fittings. Care shall be
taken to preserve the alignment and gradient of the installed pipe.
E. After the backfill has been placed to a level 12-inches over the waterline or force
main pipe, the remainder of the backfill shall be placed in layers, not to exceed 9-
inches, and compacted with mechanical vibrators or other suitable equipment to
obtain a density of the backfilled material of not less than 95 percent of its
maximum density as hereinafter defined, unless otherwise specified on the plans.
F. After selected backfill has been placed to a depth of 12-inches over the sewer
pipe, backfilling shall proceed to a depth of 30-inches over the pipe by placing the
backfill material in 6-inch layers and thoroughly compacting it with mechanical
vibrators. Backfill in this portion of the work shall be compacted to 90 percent of
maximum density of the material as hereinafter defined, unless otherwise
specified on the plans.
G. After the backfill has been placed to a level 30-inches over the sewer pipe, the
remainder of the backfill shall be placed in layers, not to exceed 9-inches, and
compacted with mechanical vibrators or other suitable equipment to obtain a
density of the backfilled material of not less than 95 percent of its maximum
density as hereinafter defined, unless otherwise specified on the plans.

Methods of control and testing of backfill construction to be employed in this
work are:
1. Maximum density of the material in trenches shall be determined by
AASHTO Designation T -180, unless otherwise noted.
2. Field density of the backfill material in place shall be determined by
AASHTO Designation T -238.
B.
Laboratory and field density tests, which, in the oplmon of the Owner's
Representative, are necessary to establish compliance with the compaction
requirements of these specifications, will be conducted at the Contractor's
expense. Tests will be made at depths and locations selected by the Owner's
Representative.
C.
Trench backfill which does not comply with the specified densities, as indicated
by such tests, shall be reworked and recompacted until the required compaction is
secured, at no additional cost to the Owner. The Costs for retesting such work
shall be paid for the Contractor.
ADDITIONAL EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL
A.
Where organic material, such as roots, muck, or other vegetable matter, or other
material which, in the opinion of the Owner's Representative, will result in
unsatisfactory foundation conditions, is encountered below the level of the
proposed pipe bedding material, it shall be wholly or partially removed as directed
by the Owner's Representative and wasted. Sheeting shall be installed if
necessary to maintain pipe trenches within the specified limits. The resulting
excavation shall be backfilled with suitable backfill material, placed in 6-inch
layers, tamped and compacted up to the level of the bottom of the proposed pipe
bedding material. Sufficient compaction of this material shall be performed to
protect the proposed pipe against settlement. Construction shall then proceed in
accordance with the provisions of Article 3.04 Pipe Bedding.

ALTERNATE METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
A.
General:
1. A combination of conditions in the substrata, water table, or method
of disposal may be encountered during the course of the work, which make
dewatering impossible, or only possible through the use of unusual
methods, the cost of which is excessive. When such conditions are
encountered, but only after all reasonable means to dewater the excavation
have been employed without success, the Contractor, with the concurrence
of the Owner's Representative, may elect to employ the following alternate
method of construction. The concurrence of the Owner's Representative
shall be obtained in writing and shall limit the use of the alternate
method of construction to such specific portions of the work as the
Owner's Representatives shall determine.
2. The construction specifications contained in the preceding parts of this
section shall establish the required standards of construction quality for
this work. Use of the alternate method of construction described
hereinafter shall in no way be construed as relieving the Contractor of
his basic responsibility for satisfactory completion of the work. No
additional payment will be made to the Contractor for excavation, backfill,
sheeting or any costs incurred for work or materials, or any other costs
incurred as a result of the use of this alternate method of
construction. The unit and lump sum prices established in the Proposal
shall be full payment for the various items of work.
3. Subject to all of the requirements stated hereinabove, including written
approval of the Owner, construction will be permitted in accordance with
the following specifications. All requirements of Article 3.01 through
Article 3.09, inclusive, of these specifications shall apply to this
construction unless otherwise specifically modified herein.
Removal of Water: The installation of pipe, manholes and appurtenances under
water will be permitted and the requirements of Article 3.03 Removal of water
will be waived.
Excavation:
1. Excavation of pipe trenches to the level of the bottom of the proposed pipe
bedding shall be performed in accordance with Article 3.02 Excavation. if
D.
E.
MS082393
rock, such as lime rock or other similar hard, cemented material providing
firm, unyielding trench bottoms is encountered at the level of the bottom
of the proposed pipe bedding, no additional excavation will be required. If
material such as sand, marl, or other material which cannot be classified as
rock, as hereinabove defined, is encountered at the level of the bottom of
the proposed pipe bedding, the pipe trench shall be excavated to an
additional depth of 10-inches minimum, below that level. This additional
excavation, and the additional back filling made necessary thereby, is an
essential part of this alternate construction method and no additional
payment will be made for this work, regardless of the type of material
encountered.
2. Excavation for manholes to be installed under water shall be continued to
a depth, below the outside bottom of the proposed structure, which will
provide a minimum space of 12-inches in rock, or 24-inches in sand, as the
same are defined hereinabove, for the placement of drainfield lime rock as
hereinafter specified.
3. The excavation of pipe trenches at their junction with excavations for
manholes shall be modified in the following manner: A longitudinally
sloping, plane bottom surface, for the placement of pipe bedding material,
shall be provided from the bottom of the manhole excavation, at its
extremity, to a line of intersection with the bottom of typical excavation of
to-feet measured horizontally, from the vertical plane of the manhole
excavation.
Pipe and Manhole Bedding: The pipe trench or manhole excavation shall be
backfilled to receive the pipe or manhole with drainfield lime rock as the same is
commonly referred to in this area, up to the level of the lower one-third of the
proposed pipe barrel, or to the outside bottom of the proposed manhole as
applicable. This backfill shall be tamped and compacted to provide proper
bedding for the pipe or manhole, as also specified herein. Under no circumstances
will material other than drainfield lime rock be considered satisfactory for use as
bedding material for underwater construction.
Backfill:
1. After the pipe is installed, backfilling shall proceed in accordance
with the provisions of Article 3.08 Backfill, except that drainfield
lime rock shall be used to back fill around the pipe and to a level
even with the top of the pipe bell. Under no circumstances will
material other than drainfield limerock be considered satisfactory
for this purpose.

or pedestrian crossings, extreme care shall be taken by the Contractor to
insure the safety of school children or other pedestrians.
PERFORMANCE
A.
Removals:
1. Pavement Removal:
a. Where existing pavement is to be removed, the surfacing shall be
mechanical saw cut prior to trench excavation, leaving a uniform
and straight edge, with minimum disturbance to the remaining
adjacent surfacing. The width of cut for this phase of existing
pavement removal shall be minimal.
b. Immediately following the specified backfilling and compaction,
a temporary sand seal coat surface shall be applied to the cut
areas. This temporary surfacing shall provide a smooth traffic
surface with the existing roadway and shall be maintained until
final restoration. Said surfacing shall remain for 10 days in order
to assure the stability of the backfill under normal traffic
conditions. Following this period and prior to 15 days after
application, the temporary surfacing shall be removed and final
roadway surface restoration accomplished.
c. In advance of final restoration, the temporary surfacing shall be
removed and the existing pavement mechanically sawed straight
and clean to the stipulated dimensions. Following the above
operation, the Contractor shall proceed immediately with final
pavement restoration in accordance with these requirements.
2. Sidewalk, Drive, & Curb Removal: Concrete sidewalks, curbs,
combination curb and gutter, walks, drive ribbons, or driveways shall be
removed by initially sawing the structure, with a suitable power saw, as
specified above for pavement. When a formed joint in the concrete is
within 3-feet of the proposed saw cut and parallels the proposed saw cut,
the removal line shall be extended to the formed joint. After sawing, the
material shall be removed.

SODDING
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 WORK INCLUDED
A. . The work specified in this section consists of the establishing of a stand of grass,
within the areas indicated on the Drawings and/or areas disturbed by construction
activities, by the furnishing and placing of grass sod, fertilizing, watering and
maintaining the sodded areas to assure a healthy stand of grass.
1.02 SUBMITTALS
A. A certification of sod quality by the producer shall be delivered to the Engineer
ten days prior to use.
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.01 GRASS SOD
A. Grass sod shall match existing grass type and shall be well matted with grass
roots. The sod shall be taken up in rectangles, preferably 12-inch by 24-inch,
shall be a minimum of 2-inches in thickness and shall be live, fresh and uninjured
at the time of planting. It shall be reasonably free of weeds and other grasses and
shall have a soil mat of sufficient thickness adhering firmly to the roots to
withstand all necessary handling. The sod shall be planted as soon as possible
after being dug and shall be shaded and kept moist until it is planted.
2.02 FERTILIZER
A. Commercial fertilizers shall comply with the state fertilizer laws.
B. The numerical designations for fertilizer indicate the minimum percentages
(respectively) of (1) total nitrogen, (2) available phosphoric acid and (3) water-
soluble potash contained in the fertilizer.
C. The chemical designation of the fertilizer shall be 12-8-8. At least 50 percent of
the phosphoric acid shall be from normal super phosphate or an equivalent source
which will provide a minimum of two units of sulfur. The amount of sulfur shall
be indicated on the quantitative analysis card attached to each bag or other
container.
MS092993
2.03 WATERFORGRASSING
A. The water used in the sodding operations may be obtained from any approved
spring, pond, lake, stream or municipal water system. The water shall be free of
excess and harmful chemicals, acids, alkalies, or any substance which might be
harmful to plant growth or .obnoxious t.o traffic. Salt water shall not be used.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION OF GROUND
A. The area over which the sod is to be placed shall be scarified or loosened to a
suitable depth and then raked smooth and free from rocks or stones. Where the
soil is sufficiently loose, the Owner's Representative, at his discretion, may
authorize the elimination of ground preparation.
3.02 APPLICATION OF FERTILIZER
A. Before applying fertilizer, the soil pH shall be brought to a minimum range of 6.0
-7.0.
B. The fertilizer shall be spread uniformly over the area to be sodded at the rate of
500 pounds per acre, by a spreading device capable of uniformly distributing the
material at the specified rate. Immediately after spreading, the fertilizer shall be
mixed with the soil to a depth of approximately 4-inches.
C. On steep slopes, where the use of a machine for spreading or mixing is not
practicable, the fertilizer shall be spread by hand and raked in and thoroughly
mixed with the soil to a depth of approximately 2-inches.
3.03 PLACING SOD
A. The sod shall be placed on the prepared surface, with edges in close contact and
shall be firmly and smoothly embedded by light tamping with appropriate tools.
B. Where sodding is used in drainage ditches, the setting of the pieces shall be
staggered so as to avoid a continuous seam al.ong the line of fl.ow. Along the
edges .of such staggered areas, the .offsets of individual strips shall n.ot exceed 6-
inches. In .order to prevent er.osion caused by vertical edges at the .outer limits, the
outer pieces .of s.od shall be tamped s.o as t.o produce a featheredge effect.
C. On steep slopes, the Contractor shall, if s.o directed by the Owner's Representative,
prevent the s.od fr.om sliding by means of w.ooden pegs driven through the sod
bl.ocks int.o firm earth, at suitable intervals.
D. S.od which has been cut f.or m.ore than 72 h.ours shall not be used unless
specifically authorized by the Owner's Representative after his inspection there.of.

A. The areas on which the sod is to be placed shall contain sufficient moisture, as
determined by the Owner's Representative, for optimum results. After being
placed, the sod shall be kept in a moist condition to the full depth of the rooting
zone for at least 2 weeks. Thereafter, the Contractor shall apply water as needed
until the sod roots and starts to grow for a minimum of 60 days (or until final
acceptance, whichever is latest).
3.05 MAINTENANCE
A. The Contractor shall, at his expense, maintain the sodded areas in a satisfactory
condition until final acceptance of the project. Such maintenance shall include
repairing of any damaged areas and replacing areas in which the establishment of
the grass stand does not appear to be developing satisfactorily.
