The plans have been revised to depict the inclusion of the existing Verizon conduit
into Structure DS-1.
General Clarification (GC)
GC.1 As stated above, the contractor will be required to paint (2 coats) the proposed
dumpster enclosure. The contractor will be required to select a color that closely
resembles the color of the building located at 1201 S. Highland Avenue. The
�
'

'
'
'
'
��
t
C!
'
'
lJ
�
'
t
'
contractor shall submit the proposed color to the City for approval prior to the
commencement of painting activities.
GC.2 No temporary construction easements have been acquired for the proposed
improvements. Therefore, unless the contractor obtains written approval from the
property owner, staging and material storage areas shall be contained within City
rights-of-way and/or easements. The contractor will be required to provide
excavation bank/slope support (i.e. sheeting, shoring, trench box, etc.) in order to
limit impacts to the City rights-of-way and/or easements. Any encroachment onto
private property shall require written approval from the property owner. All
restoration performed on private property as a result of material storage, staging or
an expanded construction work zone shall be paid for at the contractor's expense.
In the event the City determines that the proposed structure placement is not feasible
due to the proximity of the right-of-way/easement line, minor adjustments may be
warranted. No additional compensation will be provided to the contractor for
coordination efforts required to receive such a determination.
GC.3 Please note that the City is not aware of any unsuitable materials being present on-
site. Pay Item No. 2.4 - Unsuitable Material Removal & Replacement (Structure
Foundation and/or Pipe/Culvert Bedding Only) is contained within the Bid Proposal to
provide a payment vehicle in the event unsuitable material is encountered within the
bedding of a structure (headwall and/or stormwater structure) and/or pipe/culvert.
Geotechnical investigation within the Contract Documents is available for the
contractor's review.
GC.4
GC.5
Please note that parking lot reconstruction shall be performed in accordance with
Detail No. 1 on Sheet 11 of 11.
Stormwater structure and pipe bedding shall be prepared using the following
sequence:
- 6" of granular material (clean native sand, concrete sand, FDOT No. 57 stone or
crushed concrete) shall be placed and compacted to 98% max. density (per
AASHTO T-180) beneath the pipe. Bedding material shall extend 12" off of the
pipe's outside wall in both directions.
- Clean sand or crushed concrete shall be placed (in 6" lifts) to the springline of the
pipe. This material shall be compacted to 98% max. density (per AASHTO T-
180).
Remaining backfill operations shall be in accordance with Contract Document
requirements.
GC.6 The contractor is permitted to perform any non-destructive investigation desired
within the project area. In the event the contractor prefers to excavate test holes (for
material suitability determination purposes), the contractor shall first notify the City.
This activity shall only be performed under the direct supervision of a City inspector.
However, the City cannot guarantee that every contractor's inspector request can be
accommodated. No additional payment will be made for unsuitable material
removed by the contractor in the event a test excavation request cannot be
accommodated by the City. The contractor will be required to restore, at no expense
to the City, the location of the test excavation to its pre-excavation condition.
GC.7 The use of non-City roll off containers and/or dumpsters will not be permitted.
Please reference Section III, Page 41 of 46, for additional information.

GC.6 The larger openings on the stormwater structures shall be staggered from structure
to structure to allow for maintenance personnel to access each line of storm piping
with their equipment.
GC.7 City utility officials are of the opinion that the pressure utility identified from Station
5+35 to Station 6+80 is a force main. However, in the event the pressure utility is
found to be potable water, the appropriate pay items to construct a deflection are
included in the Bidder's Proposal. It is recommended that the contractor perform
exploratory excavation during the initial stages of construction to determine the
identity of this pressure utility.
Response to Submitted Questions (RSQ)
RSQ.1
RSQ.2
Why is the bottom elevation of Structure DS-1 so far below the upstream invert?
Please note Structure DS-1 will be connecting to the existing double 60" CMP
(with Gunite Liner) that traverses under Highland Avenue. The bottom of the
structure matches the elevation of the bottom of the existing CMP pipes.
Where is the Maintenance of Traffic Form referenced in the specifications? Does
this form require certification from a Professional Engineer?
Please note that attached to this addendum is the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT)
, Certification Form referenced in the Contract Documents. The MOT plan shall
be prepared (and form signed) by a person certified to prepare such plans
through the FDOT and/or IMSA (International Municipal Signal Association).
' Please reference Article 44 in Section IV for additional information on work
zone traffic control requirements.
'
'
t
'
�
'
RSQ.3 The pay item description for Pay Item 4.1 — Parking Lot Reconstruction states that
stabilization of subgrade is a component of the reconstruction work. However, the
restoration detail does not show this as a task to be performed. Please clarify where
subgrade stabilization will be required.
Please note that subgrade stabilization will not be required for the Parking Lot
Reconstruction Pay Item.
RSQ.4 What materials will be permitted for parking lot base?
Please reference Article 22.1 of Section IV of the Bidding Documents to view
the list of base materials accepted.
RSQ.5
RSQ.6
RSQ.7
RSQ.8
RSQ.9
Please clarify the type of valve to be used on the pressure utility at Station 6+80.
In the event the pressure utility is found to be a force main, a 12" gate valve
shall be used. Please reference Article 20 of Section IV of the Bidding
Documents to view the gate valve specifications. The gate valve shall be
suitable for use in sanitary sewer pressure apptications. Please see the
response to RSQ.7 for valve information if the pressure utility is found to be
potable water.
Please clarify what type of bends are proposed for the pressure utility.
Please note all bends shall be ductile iron 45-degree bends. In the event the
pressure utility is found to be a force main, Article 20 of Section IV shall
govern the material used. In the event the pressure utility is found to be
potable water, Article 41 of Section IV of the Bidding Documents shall govern
the material used.
Will line stops be required in the event the pressure utility is found to be potable
water? Will a tapping valve be needed?
Line stops or tapping valve and sleeves will not be required if the pressure
utility is found to be a force main.
In the event the pressure utility is found to be potable water, a tapping valve
and sleeve shall be used at Station 6+80 (approximately) where the valve is
shown on Sheet 7 of 11. A line stop will be required at Station 5+35.
How long can the 10" force main be shutdown for? Will this need to be a nighttime
shutdown?
The force main in question can be shut down for an entire work day when
required for relocation activities. The contractor shall notify the City (48 hour
minimum) when the force main is required to be shut down.
The construction of Structure DS-5 will result in blocking the southern access of the
nursing facility located due north of the structure. Is this acceptable?
The referenced nursing facility has two (2) accesses. Therefore, blocking the
southern access for construction of Structure DS-5 will be acceptable.
However, the contractor shall make all efforts to minimize the duration of the
southern access closure. The contractor shall notify the facility a minimum of
48 hours prior to access closure. Documentation of this required coordination
shall be provided to the City.

Plans P
P.1 Sheet 7 of 11
In the plan view, the callout for Structure DS-4 states that the structure's internal
dimensions are 17' x 10'. However, this callout should state that the structure's
infernal dimensions are 17' x 8' as seen in the Bidder's Proposal and Measurement
& Payment section of the Contract Documents.
General Clarification (GC)
GC.1 Grating on stormwater structures shall be FDOT Type "F" reticuline steel grate. The
contractor shall construct the associated riser section for the grate as seen in FDOT
Index No. 233 (latest edition).
GC.2 All dimensions for stormwater structures listed on Sheets 6, 7& 8 are internal

GC.4 No additional payment shall be provided for stabilization of excavation slopes
(sheeting, shoring, trench box, etc.) as this is considered an "Item Included But Not

GC.S A Pinellas County Right-Of-Way permit has been obtained for the construction of
stormwater structure DS-1. Permit documentation has been attached for the
contractor's reference. All construction activities within Pinellas County's right-of-
way shall be performed in accordance with the conditions of this permit.
GC.6 The larger openings on the stormwater structures shall be staggered from structure
to structure to allow for maintenance personnel to access each line of storm piping
with their equipment.
GC.7 City utility officials are of the opinion that the pressure utility identified from Station
5+35 to Station 6+80 is a force main. However, in the event the pressure utility is
found to be potable water, the appropriate pay items to construct a deflection are
included in the Bidder's Proposal. It is recommended that the contractor perform
exploratory excavation during the initial stages of construction to determine the
identity of this pressure utility.
Response to Submitted Questions (RSQ)
RSQ.1
RSQ.2
Why is the bottom elevation of Structure DS-1 so far below the upstream invert?
Please note Structure DS-1 will be connecting to the existing double 60" CMP
(with Gunite Liner) that traverses under Highland Avenue. The bottom of the
structure matches the elevation of the bottom of the existing CMP pipes.
Where is the Maintenance of Traffic Form referenced in the specifications? Does
this form require certi�cation from a Professional Engineer?
' Please note that attached to this addendum is the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT)
Certification Form referenced in the Contract Documents. The MOT plan shall
be prepared (and form signed) by a person certified to prepare such plans
through the FDOT and/or IMSA (International Municipal Signal Association).
� Please reference Article 44 in Section IV for additional information on work
zone traffic control requirements.
'
�
'
lJ
'
u
RSQ.3 The pay item description for Pay Item 4.1 — Parking Lot Reconstruction states that
stabilization of subgrade is a component of the reconstruction work. However, the
restoration detail does not show this as a task to be performed. Please clarify where
subgrade stabilization will be required.
Please note that subgrade stabilization will not be required for the Parking Lot
Reconstruction Pay Item.
RSQ.4 What materials will be permitted for parking lot base?
Please reference Article 22.1 of Section IV of the Bidding Documents to view
the list of base materials accepted.

RSQ.5
RSQ.6
RSQ.7
RSQ.8
RSQ.9
Please clarify the type of valve to be used on the pressure utility at Station 6+80.
In the event the pressure utility is found to be a force main, a 12" gate valve
shall be used. Please reference Article 20 of Section IV of the Bidding
Documents to view the gate valve specifications. The gate valve shall be
suitable for use in sanitary sewer pressure applications. Please see the
response to RSQ.7 for valve information if the pressure utility is found to be
potable water.
Please clarify what type of bends are proposed for the pressure utility.
Please note all bends shall be ductile iron 45-degree bends. In the event the
pressure utility is found to be a force main, Article 20 of Section IV shall
govern the material used. In the event the pressure utility is found to be
potable water, Article 41 of Section IV of the Bidding Documents shall govern
the material used.
Will line stops be required in the event the pressure utility is found to be potable
water? Will a tapping valve be needed?
Line stops or tapping valve and sleeves will not be required if the pressure
utility is found to be a force main.
In the event the pressure utility is found to be potable water, a tapping valve
and sleeve shall be used at Station 6+80 (approximately) where the valve is
shown on Sheet 7 of 11. A line stop will be required at Station 5+35.
How long can the 10" force main be shutdown for? Will this need to be a nighttime
shutdown?
The force main in question can be shut down for an entire work day when
required for relocation activities. The contractor shall notify the City (48 hour
minimum) when the force main is required to be shut down.
The construction of Structure DS-5 will result in blocking the southern access of the
nursing facility located due north of the structure. Is this acceptable?
The referenced nursing facility has two (2) accesses. Therefore, blocking the
southern access for construction of Structure DS-5 will be acceptable.
However, the contractor shall make all efforts to minimize the duration of the
southern access closure. The contractor shall notify the facility a minimum of
48 hours prior to access closure. Documentation of this required coordination
shall be provided to the City.

' where the Owner's Representative, the Owner, the Engineer, the Engineer's Consultant, and
Contractor cannot mutually agree on a lump sum price, the City of Clearwater shall pay for
directed changes in the WORK, on "COST REIMBURSEMENT" basis. The Contractor shall

11.2 ALLOWANCES AND FINAL CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT
It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Documents and shall cause the Wark so covered to be furnished and performed for such
sums as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer. Contractor agrees that: (i) the allowances
include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment
required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable ta3ces; and (ii)
Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead,
profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract
Price and not in the allowances and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the
foregoing will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by Owner's
Representative to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work covered by
allowances and all the Work actually performed by the Contractor, and the Contract Price shall
be correspondingly adjusted.
11.3 UNIT PRICE WORK
Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to
the sum of the established unit price for each separately identified item of unit price work times
the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of
items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and aze solely for the purpose of comparison of
Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Deternunations 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 proiit for each separately identiiied item. The
Owner or Contractor may make a claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price if: (i) the quantity
of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and significantly from
the estirnated quantity of such item indicated in the Contract Documents; and (ii) there is no
corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and (iii) if Contractor believes
that Contractor is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result of having incurred
additional expense or 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 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 that a
finalizing change order which adjusts contract unit quantities to those unit quantities actually
used in the construction of the project will result in a net decrease from the original Contract
Price. Such reasonable deduction of final Contract Price should be anticipated by the Contractor
in his original bid.
12 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT TIME
The Contract Time (or Milestones) may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment of the Contract Time (or Milestones) shall be based on
written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to Owner's
Representative promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the occurrence of the
event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of

Section III — General Conditions
the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after such occurrence,
unless Owner's Representative allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate
data in support of the claim, and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that
the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is
entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract
Time (or Milestones) shall be determined by Owner's Representative. No claim for an
adjustment in the Contract Time (or Milestones) will be valid if not submitted in accordance with
the requirements of this paragraph.
All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement.
Where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the work within the Contract Time
t (or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time (or Milestones)
may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a claim is made
therefore as provided in the article for Changes in the
' Work. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts by the
Owner, acts of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by the
article for Other Work, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God.
' Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be
delays within the control of Contractor.
Where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times
' (or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both the Owner and Contractor, an extension
of the Contract Time (or Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay shall
be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay. In no event shall the Owner be liable
' to Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person, or to any surety for or
employee or agent of any of them, for damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays caused
by or within the control of Contractor, or (ii) delays beyond the control of both parties including
' but not limited to fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, acts of God or acts by
utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by paragraph for
Other Work.

13 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS, CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR
ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
13.1 TESTS AND INSPECTION
Contractor shall give Owner's Representative and Engineer timely notice of readiness of the
Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals, and shall cooperate with inspection and
testing personnel to facilitate required inspections or tests.
Contractor shall employ and pay for the services of an independent testing laboratory to perform
all inspections, tests, or approvals required by the Contract Documents. The costs for these
inspections, tests or approvals shall be borne by the Contractor except as otherwise provided in
the Contract Documents.
If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereo�
specifically to be inspected, tested or approved by an employee or other representative of such
public body including a11 Owner Building Departments and Owner Utility Departments,
Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests or
approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish Owner's Representative the required
Secuon III 12 2 11
Page 31 of 46

Section III — General Conditions
certiiicates of inspection or approval. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, Owner
permit and impact fees will be waived. Contractor shall also be responsible for arranging and
obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspections, tests or approvals required
for Owner's and Engineer's acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work,
or of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to Contractor's purchase
thereof for incorporation of the Work.
If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected tested or approved is covered by
Contractor without written concurrence of Owner's Representative, it must, if requested by
Owner's Representative, be uncovered for observation. Uncovering Work as provided in this
paragraph shall be at Contractor's expense unless Contractor has given Owner's Representative
and Engineer timely notice of Contractor's intention to cover the same and Owner's
Representative has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
13.2 UNCOVERING THE WORK
If any Wark is covered contrary to the written request of Owner's Representative, it must, if
requested by Owner's Representative, be uncovered for Owner Representative's observation and
replaced at Contractor's expense.
If Owner's Representative considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by
Owner's Representative or inspected or tested by others, Contractor, at Owner Representative's
request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing
as Engineer or Owner's Representative may require, that portion of the Work in question,
furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective,
Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by, arising out of or resulting
from such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory
replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of
work of others); and the Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price
for the costs of the investigation, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof,
may make a claim therefore as provided in the article for Change in Contract Price. If, however,
such Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract
Price or an extension of the Contract Time (or Milestones), or both, directly attributable to such
uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement and reconstruction; and, if
the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, Contractor may make a claim
therefore as provided the article for Change in Contract Price and Change of Contract Time.
13.3 OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE MAY STOP THE WORK
If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable
materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the Work in such a way that the completed
Work will conform to the Contract Documents, Engineer or Owner's Representative may order
Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been
eliminated; however, this right of Owner's Representative to stop the Work sha11 not give rise to
any duty on the part of Owner's Representative or Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of
Contractor or any surety or other party. If the Owner's Representative stops Work under this
paragraph, Contractor shall be entitled to no extension of Contract Time or increase in Contract
Price.

' If required by Engineer or Owner's Representative, Contractor shall promptly, as directed, either
correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work has
been rejected by Engineer or Owner's Representative, remove it from the site and replace it with
, Work that is not defective. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by
or resulting from such correction or removal (including but not limited to all costs of repair or
replacement of work of others).
' 13.5 WARRANTY/CORRECTION PERIOD

' be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee
required by the Contract Documents or by any speciiic provision of the Contract Documents, any
Work is found to be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to the Owner and in
' accordance with the Owner's written instructions; (i) correct such defective Work, or, if it has
been rejected by the Owner, remove it from the site and replace it with Work that is not defective
and (ii) satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage to other Work or the work of
' others resulting therefrom. If Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of such

In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service
before Final Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run from
an earlier date if specifically and expressly so provided in the Specifications or by Written
Amendment.
Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected,
removed or replaced under this paragraph the correction period hereunder with respect to such
Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or removal and
replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
13.6 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, the Owner
prefers to accept it, the Owner may do so.
Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages attributable to the Owner's evaluation
of and deternunation to accept such defective Work such costs to be approved by Owner's
Representative as to reasonableness. If any such acceptance occurs prior to Owner
Representative's recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating
the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and the Owner shall
be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree
as to the amount thereof, the Owner may make a claim therefore as provided in article for
Change of Contract Price. If the acceptance occurs after the Owner Representative's
recommendation for final payment an appropriate amount will be paid by Contractor to the
Owner.

In connection with such corrective and remedial action, the Owner may exclude Contractor from
all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend Contractor's
services related thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the

compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful
claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged,
whereupon payment to Contractor sha11 be resumed in accordance with the terms of this
Contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any
obligations upon the Owner to the Contractor or the Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the
Contractor, the Owner shall be deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by the
Owner shall be considered as payment made under the Contract by the Owner to Contractor, and
the Owner shall not be liable to Contractor for any such payment made in good faith.
14.3 REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS FOR PROGRESS PAYMENTS
The Owner's Representative will within twenty (20) business days after receipt authorize and

Section III 12 2 11
Page 35 of 46

necessary in Owner Representative's or Agent's opinion to protect the Owner from loss because:
(i) the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement, (ii) the Contract Price has been reduced by amendment or Change Order, (iii) the
Owner has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work, or (iv) Owner's
Representative or Agent has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated

the Work, except where Contractor has delivered a specific Bond satisfactory to the Owner to
secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens, (iii) there are other items entitling the Owner

(i) has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) Owner, Engineer, Owner's
Representative, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Work that can be used by the Owner for its intended purpose without significant interference
with Contractor's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Final
Completion of all the Work subject to the following:
The Owner at any time may request Contractor in writing to permit the Owner to use any such
part of the Work which the Owner believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially
complete. If Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, Contractor
will certify to Owner, Owner's Representative, and Engineer that such part of the Work is
substantially complete and request Owner's Representative to issue a certificate of Substantial
Completion for that part of the Work. Contractor at any time may notify Owner, Owner's
Representative, and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such part of the Work
ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request Owner's Representative to
issue a certiiicate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time
after either such request, Owner, Contractor, Owner's Representative, and Engineer shall make
an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If Engineer does not
consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will notify Owner, Owner's
Representative, and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefore. If Engineer considers that
part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of the articles for Substantial
Completion and Partial Utilization will apply with respect to certiiication of Substantial
Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and
access thereta
14.5 FINAL INSPECTION

produce a final punch list, deliver it to the Contractor within five (5) days of completion and
assign a date for this work to be completed not less than thirty (30) days from delivery of the list.
Failure to include any corrective work or pending items does not alter the responsibility of the
contractor to complete all the construction services purchased pursuant to the contract.
Contractor shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or
remedy such deficiencies.
14.6 FINAL APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT
After Contractor has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of Owner's Representative

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

Section III — General Conditions
accompanying documentation, all as required by the Contract Documents, Owner's
Representative is satisfied that the Work has been completed and Contractor's other obligations
under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, Owner's Representative will indicate in
writing his recommendation of payment and present the Application to Owner for payment.
Thereupon, Owner's Representative will give written notice to Owner and Contractor that the
Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of this article. Otherwise, Owner's Representative
will return the Application to Contractor, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to
recommend iinal payment, in which case Contractor shall make the necessary corrections and
resubmit the Application. If the Application and accompanying documentation are appropriate as
to form and substance, the Owner shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof pay
contractor the amount recommended by Owner's Representative.
14.8 WAIVER OF CLAIMS
The making and acceptance of iinal payment will constitute: a waiver of a11 claims by the Owner
against Contractor, except claims arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing
after iinal inspection, from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any
special guarantees specified therein, or from Contractor's continuing obligations under the
Contract Documents; and a waiver of all claims by Contractor against the Owner other than
those previously made in writing and still unsettled.
15 SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
15.1 OWNER MAY SUSPEND THE WORK
At any time and without cause, Owner's Representative may suspend the Work or any portion

if Contractor disregards Laws and Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
if Contractor disregards the authority of Owner's Representative;
if Contractor otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the Contract
Documents; or if the Work to be done under this Contract is abandoned, or if this

to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of Contractor, exclude
Contractor from the site and take possession of the Work and of all Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent
they could be used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for trespass or conversion),
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which the Owner has
paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as the Owner may deem
expedient. In such case Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
Wark is iinished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and
damages sustained by the Owner arising out of or resulting from completing the Work such
excess will be paid to Contractor.
If such claims, costs, losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the
difference to the Owner. Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by the Owner will be
reviewed by Owner's Representative as to their reasonableness and when so approved by
Owner's Representative incorporated in a Change Order, provided that when exercising any
rights or remedies under this paragraph the Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest price
for the Work performed.
Where Contractor's services have been so ternunated by the Owner, the ternunation will not
affect any rights or remedies of the Owner against Contractor then existing or which may
thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by the Owner will not
release Contractor from liability.
Upon seven (7) days' written notice to Contractor and Owner's Representative, the Owner may,
' without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Owner, elect to terminate
the Agreement. In such case, Contractor shall be paid (without duplication of any items):
for completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract
' Documents prior to the effective date of ternunation, including fair and reasonable
sums for overhead and profit on such Work;

for expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services
and furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such expenses;
for all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts
with Subcontractors, Suppliers and others; and for reasonable expenses directly
attributable to temunation.
Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other
economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.3 CONTRACTOR MAY STOP WORK OR TERMINATE
If, through, no act or fault of Contractor, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety
(90) days by the Owner or under an order of court or other public authority, or the Owner's
Representative fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is
submitted or the Owner fails for thirty (30) days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to
be due, then Contractor may, upon seven (7) days' written notice to the Owner and Owner's
Representative, and provided the Owner or Owner's Representative does not remedy such
suspension or failure within that time, ternunate the Agreement and recover from the Owner

Section III - General Conditions
payment on the same terms as provided in the article for the Owner May Ternunate. However, if
the Wark is suspended under an order of court through no fault of Owner, the Contractor shall
not be entitled to payment except as the Court may direct. In lieu of terminating the Agreement
and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if Owner's Representative has failed to act
on an Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is submitted, or the Owner has
failed for thirty (30) days to pay Contractor any sum finally deternuned to be due, Contractor
may upon seven (7) day's written notice to the Owner and Owner's Representative stop the Work
until payment of all such amounts due Contractor. The provisions of this article are not intended
to preclude Contractor from making claim under paragraphs for Change of Contract Price or
Change of Contract Time or otherwise for expenses or damage directly attributable to
Contractor's stopping Work as permitted by this article.
16 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If and to the extent that the Owner and Contractor have agreed on the method and procedure for
resolving disputes between them that may arise under this Agreement, such dispute resolution
method and procedure will proceed. If no such agreement on the method and procedure for
resolving such disputes has been reached, subject to the provisions of the article for Decisions on
Disputes, the Owner and Contractor may exercise such rights or remedies as either may
otherwise have under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any
dispute provided, however, that nothing herein shall require a dispute to be submitted to binding

4 ORDER AND LOCATION 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 excavation in a manner
which provides for the successful completion of the proposed work while at all times
maintaining the safety of the workmen, the general public and both public and private property.
The contractor's methods of work will be consistent with the standard practices and requirements
of all appropriate Safety Regulatory Agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements for excavation. Unless otherwise specifically stated in
these plans and specifications, the methods of safety control and compliance with regulatory
agency safety requirements are the full and complete responsibility of the contractor.
For the purposes of the Contractor's safety planning in the bidding process, the contractor is to
consider all excavation to be done in the performance of this contract to be in soil classified as
OSHA "Type C". The Contractor's attention is called to specific requirements of OSHA for
excavation shoring, employee entry, location of excavated material adjacent to excavation, the
removal of water from the excavation, surface encumbrances and in particular the requirement of
a"Competent Person" to control safety operations. The Contractor will identify his Competent
Person to City staff at the start of construction.
City staff are required from time to time to perform inspections, tests, survey location work, or
other similar activity in an excavation prepared by the contractor. City staff in conformance with
the OSHA Excavation Safety Requirements are to only enter an excavation in compliance with
these OSHA standards. The City's staff reserve the option to refuse entry into the Contractor's
excavation if, in the opinion of the City's staff, the entry into the Contractor's excavation is
unsafe or does not conform OSHA requirements. If this circumstance occurs, the contractor must
either provide the necessazy safety requirements or provide alternate means for the
accomplishment of the City's work at the Contractor's expense.
The restoration quantities, if any, contained in the bid proposal for this contract to not contain
sufficient quantities to allow the contractor to perform excavation work using strictly the "open
cut" method whereby no shoring systems are used and trench side slopes are cut to conform to
OSHA safety requirements without a shoring system. In addition to safety reasons, the
Contractor is required to use excavation and trench-shoring methods in compliance with all
safety requirements which allow the Contractor to control the amount of restoration work
necessazy 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
specified. For pipe installation projects, the trench shall be six (6) inches wider on each side than
the greatest external horizontal 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. In 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 Institute, and FDOT's Standard Specifications. All appropriate testing shall
be performed according to the American Society of Testing Materials.

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 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 to minimize the amount of
soil erosion into the City's streets, storm sewers and waterways.
The construction of a new residence or commercial site and major remodeling of an existing site
creates a potential for soil erosion. These instances are usually the result of contractors and
subcontractors accessing the property with equipment or construction materials. Then rain storms
redistribute the eroded soil into the adjacent streets, storm systems and waterways.
When erosion takes place, a City Inspector will place a conection notice at the site. The
procedure will be as follows:
1 st occurrence - Warning
2nd occurrence - $32 Re-inspection Fee
3rd occurrence - $80 Re-inspection Fee
4th occurrence - Stop Work 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 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 particulaz site, please contact
Construction Services at 562-4750 or Planning & Development Services at 562-4741.
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater's Code of Ordinances requires erosion control on
all land development projects.
Erosion control must be in place and maintained throughout the job. Failure to do so may result
in additional costs and time delays to the pernut holder.
Contact Engineering Department with speciiic questions at 562-4750.

surface as practicable, with the nozzle held approximately 3 feet from the work (except in
conf'ined control). If the flow of material at the nozzle is not uniform and slugs, sand spots, or
wet sloughs result, the nozzleman shall direct the nozzle away from the work until the faulty
conditions are corrected. Such defects shall be replaced as the work progresses.
Guniting shall be suspended if:
1. Air velocity separates the cement from the sand at the nozzle.
2. Temperature approaches freezing and the newly placed gunite cannot be protected.
Gunite shall be applied in one or more layers to such total thickness as required to restore the
area as detailed over the original lines of the adjoining surface, unless other wise specified. All
cavities, depressions, washouts and similar failures shall be rebuilt to original lines by use of
gunite reinforced with wire mesh. Where the cavity exceeds 4 inches in depth a layer of inesh
shall be used for each 3 inches of depth of gunite. In no case shall wire mesh be placed behind
existing reinforcement.
The time interval between successive layers in sloping vertical or overhanging work must be
sufficient to allow initial but not final set to develop. At the time the initial set is developing, the
surface shall be cleaned to remove the thin iilm of laitance in order to provide a perfect bond
with succeeding applications.
48.13 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS
Construction joints or day's work joints shall be sloped off to a thin, clean, regular edge,
preferably at a 45-degree slope. Before placing the adjoining work, the slope portion and
adjacent gunite shall be thoroughly cleaned as necessary, then moistened and scoured with an air
jet.
48.14 SURFACE FINISH
Nozzleman sha11 bring the gunite to an even plane and to well formed corners by working up to
ground wires or other guides, using lower placing velocity than normal.
After the body coat has been placed, the surface shall be trued with a thin edge screed to remove
high areas and expose low areas. Low areas shall be properly iilled with concrete to insure a true,
flat surface.
After the concrete surface has been trued, the entire surface shall be given a flashcoat finish
except where a special type finish is specified on the drawings.
48.15 CURING
Curing shall be in accordance with either paragraph 3.7.1(d) or paragraph 3.7.5. of ACI 506.2 77
depending upon atmospheric condition.
48.16 ADJACENT SURFACE PROTECTION
During progress of the work, where appearance is important, adjacent areas or grounds which
may be permanently discolored, stained, or otherwise damaged by dust and rebound, shall be
adequately protected sensitive areas, when contacted, shall be cleaned by early scraping,
brushing or washing, as the surroundings permit.

Secuon IV — Technical Specifications
48.17 INSPECTION
Because of the importance of workmanship affecting the quality of the gunite, continual
inspection during placing shall be maintained. Any imperfections discovered shall be cut out and
replaced with sound material.
48.18 EQUIPMENT
Cement Gun: The mixing and delivering equipment shall be either the vertical double chamber
type or rotary type. The upper chamber of the double chamber type shall receive and pressurize
the dry mix and deliver it to the lower chamber. The lower chamber shall force the pressurized
mix into the delivery hose by means of a feed wheel. The type of feeder utilized should be of
suff'icient capacity that the lower chamber may continuously furnish all required material to the
delivery hose while the upper chamber receives the recharge. The rotary type cement gun shall
have an enlarged hopper to feed material into a rotating multiported cylinder. Material shall fall
by gravity into a port which shall then be rotated to a position in which the material is expelled
by air into a moving stream of air. All equipment must be kept in good repair. The interior of
drums, feed gearing and valves shall be cleaned as often as necessary (at least once every 8 hour
shift) to prevent material from caking on critical parts.
Nozzle: Nozzle shall be the premixing type with perforated water feed ring inside the nozzle.
The m�imum length of material hose for the application of gunite shall be approximately 150
feet although it shall be permissible to use as much as 800 feet of material hose if the supply air
pressure measured at the cement gun is increased to maintain proper velocity. The following
table gives requirements for compressor size, hose size and air pressure using 150 feet of
material hose:
Comp. Cap Max. Hose Dia. Max. Size Nozzle Min. Air Press.
(cfm) (In.) (In.) (psi)
365 1 5/8 1 5/8 60
600 2 2 80
750 2 1/2 2 1/2 90
For each 25 feet of material hose used in excess of 150 feet, the required air pressure shall be
increased by 5 psi.
Air Compressor: Any standazd type of compressor shall be satisfactory if it is of suff'icient
capacity to provide, without interruption, the pressures and volume of air necessary for the
longest hose delivery. The air compressor capacity deternunations shall include allowances made
for the air consumed in blowing rebound, cleaning, reinforcing and for incidental uses.
Compressor equipment shall be of such capacity so as to insure air pressures at the special mixer
capable of producing the required material velocities.
Water Supply: The water pressure at the discharge nozzle should be sufficiently greater than the
operating air pressure to assure the water is intimately mixed with the other materials. If the line
water pressure is inadequate, a water pump or pressurized tank shall be introduced into the line.
The water pressure shall be uniformly steady (nonpulsating).
