11.2 ALLOWANCES AND FINAL CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT
It is understood that Contrlctor 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 perfarmed 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 an the site, labor, installation costs, overhead,
prafrt 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
for�going will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order wiJl be issued as recommended by Owner's
Representative to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on accaunt 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 ta include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to
ihe 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 estinriated quantities af
items of Unit �'rice Wark are not guaranteed and are salely for the purpose of comparison of
Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Detenninations of the actual quantities and
classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by Owner's
Representative. 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. The
Owner or Contractor may make a claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price if: (i) the quantity
of any itern of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and si�nificantly from
the estimated quantity of such itezn indicated in the Contract Documents; and (ii) there is no
corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and (iii) if Contractor believes
that Contractor is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result of having incurred
additional expense or the Owner believes that the Owner is entitled to a decrease in Contract
Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such inerease or d�crease. On
unit price contracts, Owner endeavors to provide adequate unit quantities to satisfactorily
complete the construction of the project. It is expected that in the normal course of project
construction and completion that not all unit quantities will be used in their entirety and ihat 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.
12 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT TIME
The Cantract Tixne (or Milestones) may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustrnent of the Contract Time (or Milestones) shall be based on

5 EXCAVATIQN FOR UNDERGROUND WORK
The contracCor is responsible to take al.l necessary steps to conduct all excavation in a manner
which p�ovides for the successful completion of the proposed work while at all times
maintaining the safety of the workmen, the general public and both public and private property.
The contractor's methods of work will be consistent with the standard practices and requirements
of all apprapriate Safety Regulatory Agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements for excavation. Unless otherwise specifically stated in
these plans and specifications, the methods af safety control and compliance with regulatory
agency safety requirements are the full and complete responsibility of the contractor.
For the purposcs of Che Contractor's safety planning in the bidding process, the co�iractor is to
consider all excavation to be done in the performance of this cantract to be in soil classified as
OSHA "Type C". The Contractor's attention is called to specific requirem�nts of OSHA for
excavation shoring, employee entry, location of excavated material adjacent to excavation, the
removal of water from the excavation, surface encumbrances and in particular the requirement of
a"Competent Person" to control safety operations. The Contractor will identify his Competent
Person to City staff` at the start of constructian.
City staff are required from time to time to perform inspections, tests, survey location work, or
other similar activity in an excavation prepared by tlae coratractor. City staff in con�ormance with
the OSHA Excavation Safety Requirements are ta only enter an excavation in compliar�ce with
these OSHA standards. The City's staff reserve the option to refuse entry into the Contractor's
excavation if, in the opinion o#' the City's staff, the entry into the Contractor's excavation is
unsafe or does not conform OSHA reyuirements_ If this circu►nstance occurs, the contractor must
either provide the necessary safety requirements or provide alternate means for the
acco�taplishment of the City's work at the Contractor's expense.
The restoration quantities, if any, contained in the bid propasal for this contract to not contain
sufficient quantities to allow the contractor to perform excavation work using strictly the "open
cut" method whereby na shoring systems are used and trench side slopes are cut to conform to
OSHA safety requirements without a shoring system. in additian to safety reasons, the
Contractor is required to use excavation and tr�nch-shoring methods in compliance with all
safety requirements which allow the Contractor to control the amount of restoration work
necessary to complete the project.
Not more than one hundred (100) feet of trench shall be opened at one time in advance of the
completed work unless written permission is received from the Engineer for the distance

the greatest extemal harizontal width of the pipe or conduit, including hubs, intended to be laid
in them. The bottom of the trench under each pipe joint shall be slightly hollowed, to allow the
body of the pipe to rest throughout its length. ln case a trench is excavated at any place,
excepting at joints, below the grade of its bottom as given, or directed by the Engineer, the filling
and compaction to grade shall be done in such manner as the Engineer shall direct, without
compensation.
6 CONCRETE
Unless otherwise directed, all concrete work shall be performed in accordance with the latest
editions of the Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures by the Portland Cement Association, the
American Concrete lnstitute, and FDOT's Standard Specifications. All appropriate testing shall
be performed according to the American Society of Testing Materials.
Unless otherwise speci�ed, all concrete shall have �ber mesh reinforcing and have a minimum
compressive strength of 3000 p.s.i. at 28 days. The cement type shall be Type I and shall
conform to AASHTO M-S5. The aggregate shall conform to ASTM C-33. All ready mix concrete
shal] conform to ASTM C-94. The slump for all concrete shall be in the range of 3" to 5", except
when admixtures or special placement considerations are required.
The Contractor shall notify the Project Inspector a minimum of 24 hours in advance of all
concrete placement.
All concrete shall be tested in the following manner:
' Placement of less than 5 cubic yards (cy) shall be tested at the Engineer's discretion. Otherwise,
for each class, for each day, for every 50 cy or part thereof exceeding 5 cy, one set of 3
compressive strength cylinders will be required (1 at 7 days and 2 at 28 days). At the discretion
� of the Engineer, unacceptable test results may require the Contractor to provide further tests, as
determined by the Engineer, to determine product acceptability, or need for removal, and
compensation or denial thereof.

City of Clearwater - Erosion Control
This notice is to inforrn the prime contractor that the City of Clearwater holds them responsible
for soil erosion control on their site.
The City of Clearwater Engineering Department has the responsibility ta 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 majar 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 inta the adjacent streets, storm systems and waterways.
When �rosion takes place, a City Inspector will place a correction notice at the site. The
procedure will be as �ollows:
1 st occu.rrence - Warning
2nd occurrence - $32 Re-inspection Fee
3rd occurrence - $80 Re-inspection Fee
4th occurrence - Stop Work Order
Dependent on the severity ofthe erosion, the City's Engineering Department may elect to rectify
the erosion problem and charge the contractor accordingly.
The attached drawings and details are recommendations for the contractor to use as means to
support the site from eroding. The contractor may elect to shovel and sweep the street daily or on
an as needed basis. However, erosion must be held in check.
If the contractor would like to meet with a City inspector on any particular site, please contact
Construction Services at 562-4750 or �'lanning & Development Services at 562-4741..
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater's Code of 4rdinances requires erosion control on
all land development projects.
Eros.ion contral must be in place and maintained ihroughout the job. Failure to do so may result
in additional costs and time delays to the permit holder.
Contact Engineering Department with specific questions at 562-4750.

f 1led.
Testing Procedures
1. The duration of the test shall not be less than that required for a drop in the
water surface af 1/2-inch based on the calculated maximum allowable
leakage rate for 3 days.
2. Loss-of-volume measurements shall be taken at 24-hour intervals. The
loss of volume is usually determined by measuring the drop in water
surface elevation and camputing the change in valume of the contained
water. Measure water surface elevatian at not less than two locations at
1$p° apart and preferably at four locations 90° apart. Record water
temperature 18 inches below the water surface when taking the first and

test. Plug all pipes and other openings into the precast structures and brace
to prevent blaw out.
2. Fill the manhole ar wetwell with water to the top of the structure. If the
excavation has not been backfilled and no water is observed maving down
the surface of the structure, the manhole or wetwell is satisfactorily
watertight. If the test as described above is unsatisfactory as determined by
the Engineer or if the excavation has been backfilled, continue the test. A
period of time may be permitted to allow for absorption. �^ollowing this
period, refill the manhole or wetwell to the top of the structure, if
necessary, and wait at least 8 hours. At the end of the test period, refill the
manhole or wetwell to the top of the structure again, measurin� the
volume of water added. Extrapolate the refill amount to a 24-hour leakage
rate. The leakage for each manhole or wetwell shall not exceed 1 gallon
per vertical foot for a 24-hour period. If the manhole or wetwell fails this
requirement, but the leakage does not exceed 3 gallons per vertical foot
per day, the Contractor may make repairs by approved methods as directed
by the Engineer. If leaka�e due to a defective section of joint exceeds 3
gallans p�r vertica] foot per day, the structure shall be rejected. Uncover
the rejected structure as necessary to disassemble, reconstruct, or replace it
as directed by the Engineer. Retest the manhole or wetwell and, if
satisfactory, fill and paint the interior joints.
3. No adjustment in the leakage allowance will be made for unknown causes
such as leaking plugs, absorptions, etc. It will be assumed that all loss of
water during the test is a result of leaks through the joints or through the
concrete.
C. An infiltration test may be substituted for an exfiltration test if the groundwater
table is above the highest joint in the manhole. IfthE Engineer determines there is
no leakage into the manhole, the manhole will be cansidered watertight. If the
Engineer is not satisfied, the Contractor shall perform an exfiltration or air testin�.
D. Vacuum Test

`l�he following are specific concrete surface preparation "methods" to be used
where called for on the Drawings, specified in this Section, or as directed by thc
Engineer.
1. Method A: AfCer the existing concrete surface at connection has been
roughened and cleaned, thoroughly moisten the existing surface with
water. Brush on a�/16-inch layer of cement and water mixed to the
consistency of a heavy paste. Immediately after applying the cement paste,
place new concrete or grout mixturc as detailed on the Drawings.
2. Method B: After the concrete surfac� has been raughened and cleaned,
apply an epoxy bonding agent at connection surface. The field preparation
and application of the epoxy bonding agent shall cornply strictly with the
rnanufacturer's recommendations. Place new concrete or grout mixture to
limits shown on the .Drawings within time constraints r�commended by
the manufacturer to ensure bond.
3. Method C: Drill a hole ]/4 inch lar�er than the diameter of the dowel. The
hole shall be blown clear of loose particles and dust just before installing
epoxy. The drilled hole shall tirst be filled with epoxy past�, then
dowels/bolis shall be buttered with paste.and inserted by tapping. Unless
otherwise shown on the Drawings, deformed bars shall be drilled and set
to a depth of 10 bar diameters and smooth bars shall be drilled and set to a
depth of 15 bar diameters. If not noted on the Drawings, the Engineer will
provide details regarding the size and spacing of dowels.
4. Method D: Combination of Methods B and C.
5. Method E: The capsule anchor system shall be set in existing concrete by
drilling holes to the required depth to develop the full tensile and shear
strengths of the anchor material being used. The anchor bolts system shall
be install�d according to the manufacturer's recommendation in holes
sized as required. The anchor stud bolt, rebar, or other embedment item
shall be tipped with a double 45° chamfered point, securely faster�ed into
the chuck of all rotary percussion hammer drill and drilled inta the

work, with symbols and notations provided for clarity. However, the
Contract Drawings are not ari exact representation of all conditions
involved; therefore, irtstall piping to suit actual field conditions and
rneasurements as approved by the Engineer. No extra compensation will
be made far work due to dif�erences between indicated and actual
dimensions.
2. The Contractor shall install all adapters, fittings, flanged connections,
closures, etc. not specified but nec�ssary for a complete installation
acceptable to the Engineer.
3. The Contract Drawings do not indicate all adapters, fittings, spaol pieces,
bushings, unians, supports, hangers, and other items required to
accommodate the installation and connection of pipe, fittings, valves, and

of appropriate designs, materials, caatings, and linings.
An extensive network af underground pipin�, duct, conduit, direct-buried
conductors, and related structures ofvarious sizes, materials, alignments,
age, and functian may exist within the project site. Conclusive
information concerning these facilities is not available. Consequently, the
design of new piping indicated on the Contract Drawings is approximate.

C. Connecting to Pumping Equipment: The Contractor shall take special care when
connecting to pumping equiptnent to ensure that piping stresses are not
transmitted to the pump flanges. All connecting pipe shall be permanently
supported so that accurate matching of bolt holes and uniform contact over the
entire surface o� flanges are obtained before any bolts are installed in the flanges.
In addition, pump connection piping shall be free to move parallel ta its
longitudinal centerline while the bolts are being tightened.
l. Each pump shall be leveled, aligned, and wedged into a position, which
will fit the correcting pipe, but shall not be grouted until the initial fitting
and alignment of the pipe so that the pump may be shifted on its
foundation if necessary to properly install the connecting pipe. Each
pump shall, however, be grouted before final bolting of the connecting
piping.
2. After final alignment and bolting, th� pump connections shall be tested far
applied piping stresses by loosening the flange bolts, which, ifthe piping
is properly installed, should result in no movement of the piping relative

Apply and tnaintain the test pressure by a positive displacement hydraulic :force
puanp.
Maintain the test pressure for the 2 hours by restoring the pressure whenever it
falls 5 psi_
D. Aft�r the test pressure is reached, use a meter to measure the additional water
added to maintain the pressure. This amount of water is the loss due to leakage in
the piping system. The allowable leakage for this pipe installation shall be zero.
E. The leakage test shall be a separate test following the pressure test and shall not
be less than 2 hours long. All leaks evident at the surface shall be repaired and
