Canstruction Equipment (a.k.a. DataQuest Blue Book). The rental rate is detined as
the full-unadjusted base rental rate for the appropriate item of construction equip�nent
and shall cover the casts af all fuel, supplies, repairs, insurance, and other costs
associated vvith supplying the equipnnent far wark ardered. Contractor-owned
equipment will be paid for the duration af time required to complete the work. Utilize
lowest cost combination of hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly rates. Do not exceed
estimated operating costs given in Blue Sook. �perating cosis will not be allowed for
equipment on stand-by.
4. Additional costs for Bonds, Insurance if required by the City of Clearwater.
The followin� fixed fees shall be added to th� casts of the directed work performed

11.2 ALLOWANCES AND FINAL CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT
Tt is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Dacuments and shall cause the Work so covered ta be fixmished 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
SectionITl.doc Page 29 of 45 10/10/2010
Seciion �II — General Conditions
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 na 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 Owner's
Aepresentative to reflect actual amaunts 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 W�rk an amount equal ta
the sum of the established unit price for each separately identified item of unit pz�ice work times
the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreem�nt. The estimated quantities of
items of Unit Price Work axe not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of cornparison of
Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Detern�inations of the actual quantities and
classifications of Unit Price Woxk 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 covez Contractor's overhead and profit �or each separately identified item. The
Owner or Contractor rnay make a claim for an adjustrnent in the Contract Price i£ (i) the quantity
of any item of Unit Price Work per�orn�ed 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 itex� 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 increase or decrease. On
unit price contzacts, Owner endeavors to provide adequate unit quantities to satisfactorily
camp�ete the construction of the paroject. It is expected that in the normal course of project
construction and completion that not all unit quantities will be used in their entirety and that a
finalizing change order which adjusts contract unit quantities to those unit quantities actually
used in the construction of the praject will result in a net decrease fram the original Cantract
Price. Such reasonable deduction of �nal Contract Prxce should be anticipated by the Contractor
in his original bid.
12 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT TIME
The Cantract Time (or Milestones) may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment of the Contract Tinae (or Milestones) shall be based on
written notice delivered by the party making the clain� to the other party and to Owner's
Representative promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the accunrence of the
event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice oi the e�tent of
the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after such occurrence,
unless Owner's Representative allows an additional periad of time to ascertain more accurate
data in support af 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 af said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract
Time (or Milestones) shall be determined by Owner's Representative. No claim for an

(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the cantrol of both the Owner and Contractor, an extensian
af 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 the Owner be liable
to Contractor, any Subcnntractar, any Supplier, any other persan, or ta any surety for or
employee ar agent of any of them, for damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays caused
by or within the control of Cantractor, or (ii) delays beyand the control of both parties including

Campletion of all the Work subject to the �ollowing:
The Owner at any time may request Contractor in writing to perznit the Ovvner to use any such

4 ORDER AND L�CATION OF THE WORK
This article deleted. See SECTION III, ARTICLE 18 --- ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE
WORK.
5 EXCAVATION FOR UNDERGROUND WORK
The contractor is responsible to take all necessary steps to conduct all excavat�on in a manner
which provides for the successful completion o� the proposed work while at all times
maintaining the safety af the workmen, the general public and both public and private property.
Tk�e contractor's methods of work will be consistent with the standard practices and requirements
of a11 approprxate Safety Regulatory Agencies, particularly the Occupatio�al Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements for excavation. Unless otherwise specifically stated in
these �lans and specifications, the methods a:f safety control and compliance with regulatory
agency safety requirements axe the full and corn�lete responsibi�ity of the contractor.
For the purposes of the Cantractor's safety planning in the bidding process, the contractor is ta
cansider all excavation to be done in the performance of this contract to be in soil classiiied as
OSHA "Type C". The Contractor's attention is called to specific requirements af OSHA for
excavation sharing, em.ployee entry, location of excavated anaterial adj acent to excavatian, the
removal of water from the excavation, surface encumbrances and in particular the requirement of
a"Competent Persan" to control safety operations. The Contractor will identify his Competent
Person to City staff at the start of construction.
City staf� are required from time to tune ta perfarm inspections, tests, survey location work, or
other similar activity zz� an excavation prepared by the cantractor. City staff in conformance with
the OSHA Excavation Safety Requirements are to only enter an excavation in compliance with
these OSHA sta.ndards. 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 requ�xements. If this circumstance occurs, the contractor must
either provide the r�ecessary safety requirements ax provide alternate means �ox the
accomplishment of the City's woxk 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 cantractor to perform excavation wark using strictly the "open
cut" method whereby no shoring systems are used and trench side slopes are cut to conform to
OSHA safety rec�uiremez�ts without a shoring system. In addition to safety reasans, 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 restaration 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 wzitten permission is received from the Engineer for the distance

Section iV — Technical Specifacations
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 Engineering Department has the responsibility ta minirnize the amount of
soil erosion into the City's streets, storm sewers and waterways.
The canstruction of a new residence or commercial site and major remodeling of an existing site
creates a potential for soil erasion. These instances are usually the result of contzactoxs and
subcontractors accessing the property with equipment or construction materials. Then rain storms
redistribute the eroded soil into the adjacent streets, stoz� systems and waterways.
When erosion takes place, a City Inspector will place a correction notice at the site. The
procedure will be as follows:
1 st accurrence - Waxning
2nd occurrence - $32 Re-inspection Fee
3rd occurrence - $80 Re-inspection Fee
4th occurrence - Stop Wark Order
Dependent on the severity of the erosion, the City's Engineering Department may elect to rectify
the erosion problem and charge the contractor accordingly.
The attached drawings and details are recornrnendations for the contractor ta use as ineans to
support the site from eroding. The contractor may elect to shovel and sweep the street daily or an
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 Planning & Development Services at 552-4741.
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater's Code oi Ordinances requires erasian contral or�
all land development projects.
Erosion control must be in place and maintained throughout the job. Failure to do sa may result
in additianal costs and time delays to the permit halder.
Contact Engineering Department with specific questions at 562-4750.

Excavate an area around the top of the existing manhale sufficiently wide and deep for the
rernoval of the manhol� ring and carbel section.
Remove the frame and cover and corbel section without dannaging the existing manhole walls.
Care is to be taken not ta allow brick or soil ta fa11 into the existing manhole.
Remove or reinsert loose brick which protrude more than one inch from the interior wall of the
manhole and which cauld interfere with the insertian of the fiberglass liner.
If the shelf of the manhole invert is not level around the perimeter, form a flat shelf with mortar.
Cut the liner to the proper length. Cutouts in the manhole shall be made to accommodate existing
inlet and autlet pipes, draps and cleanouts.
Lower the liner into the existing manhole and set the bottom of the liner into quick setting grout.
Obtain a good botto�n seal to prevent the loss o� grout frorn the annular space between the
outside of thE liner and the inside wall of the existing manhale. Set the liner as nearly vertically
as possible. Pour six inches of quick setting grout above the initial bottom seal in the annulax
void to insure an adequate bottom seal.
Sridge the gap frorn dxops, laterals, force ma�ns, cleanouts and all existing piping between the
existing rnanhale wall and the new manhale liner with P.V.C. pipe. Use quick setting mortar to
seal the area around the manhole liner and piping.
Fill the annular space between the manhale liner and the existing maz�hole interior walls with
grout. Care must be taken not to deflect the manhole liner due to head pressure.
Set the existing manhole ring and caver using br�ck ta make elevation adjustments as needed.
Observe watertightness and repair any visible leakage.
Backfill around the new liner and compact the backfill. Sod the disturbed area. Match existing
sod.
Where manholes fall in paved areas, disturbed base shall be replaced twice the original thickness
and cornpacted in 8" layers. Asphalt shall be replaced with 1 1/2" o� P�nellas County Type II
