Work Change Directive, a claim may be made therefore as provided in these General Conditions.
Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the ,
Contract Time with respect to any Work performed that is not required by the Contract
Documents as amended, modified and supplemented as provided in these General Conditions
except in the case of an emergency as provided or in the case of uncovering work as provided in �

The Owner and Contractor shall execute appropriate Change Orders or Written Amendments �
r�commended by Owner's Representative covering:
changes in the work which are (i) ordered by the Owner (ii) required because of acceptance
of defective work under the article for Acceptance of Defective Work or correcting defective �
Work under the article for Owner May Correct Defective Work or (iii) agreed to by the
parties;
changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which are agreed to by the parties; and �
changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which embody the substance of any written
decision rendered by Owner's Representative pursuant to the article for Decisions on
Disputes; �
provided that, in lieu of executing any such Change Order, an appeal may be taken from any
such decision in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents and applicable �
Laws and Regulations, but during any such appeal, Contractor shall carry on the Work and
adhere to the progress schedule as provided in the article for Continuing the Work.

' Section III—General Conditions
after the start of the occurrence ar event giving rise to the claim. Notice of the amount of the
claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after the start of such
� occurrence or event, unless Owner's Representative allows additional time for claimant to
submit additional or more accurate data in support of the claim, and shall be accompanied by
claimant's written statement that the claimed adjustment covers all known amounts to which the
� claimant is entitled as a result of said occurrence or event. No claim for an adjustment in the
Contract Pric� will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this paragraph. The value of any
Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be
� determined as follows: (i) where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the
Contract Documents, by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (ii)
where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by
� a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit), (iii)
where the Work is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
agreement is reached to establish unit prices for the Work.
� Where the work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
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
� apply for compensation, detailing Contractors forces, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and
other items of direct costs required for the directed work.
1 The applicati��n for Cost Reimbursement shall be limited to the following items:
1. Labor, including foremen, for those hours associated with the direct work (actual
� payroll cost, including wages, fringe benefits, labor insurance and labor taxes
established by law). Expressly excluded from this item are all costs associated with
negotiating the subject change.
� 2. Materials associated with the change, including sales tax. The costs of materials shall
be substantiated through vendors' invoices.
' 3. Rental or equivalent rental costs of equipment, including necessary transportation
casts if specifically used for the WORK. The rental rates shall not exceed the current
rental rates prevailing in the locality or as defined in the rental Rate Blue Book for
� Construction Equipment (a.k.a. DataQuest Blue Book). The rental rate is defined as
the full-unadjusted base rental rate for the appropriate item of construction equipment
and shall cover the costs of all fuel, supplies, repairs, insurance, and other costs
associated with supplying the equipment for work ordered. Contractor-owned
� equipment will be paid for the duration of 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 Book. Operating costs will not be allowed for
' equipment on stand-by.
4. Additional costs for Bonds, Insurance if required by the City of Clearwater.
� The following fixed fees shall be added to the costs of the directed work performed
by the Contractor or Subcontractor.
� A. A fixed fee of fifteen percent(I S%) shall be added to the costs of Item 1 above. If
work is performed by a subcontractor, the Contractor's fee shall not exceed five
percent (5%), and the subcontractor's fee shall not exceed ten percent(10%)_
� B.. A fixed fee of ten percent(10%} shall be added to the costs of Item 2 above.

'
�
Section ll1—General Conditions �
C. No markup shall be added to the costs of Items 3 and 4.
The fixed fees shall be considered the full compensation for all cost of general
supervision, overhead, profit, and other general expense. ,
11.2 ALLOWANCES AND FINAL CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT .
It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the �
Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be furnished and performed for such
sums as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer. Contractor agrees that: (i) the allowances �
it�clude the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and eyuipment
reyuired 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
Ptice and not in the allowances and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the
faregoing 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 prov�de that all or part of the Work �s to be Unit Pr�ce Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to
tMe sum of the established unit price for each separately identified item of unit price wark times �
the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of
items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of
Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and �
classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by 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 �
Uwner or Contractor may make a claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price if: (i)the yuantity
of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and significantly from
the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Contract Documents; and (ii) there is no �
cprresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and (iii) if Contractar believes
that Contractar is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result of having incurred
a�lditional 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 yuantities to satisfactarily
complete the construction of the project. It is expected that in the normal course of project �
construction and completion that not all unit yuantities will be used in their entirety and that a
fi�nalizing 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 �
P�ice. Such reasonable deduction of final Contract Price should be anticipated by the Contractor
in his original bid.

� Section III—General Conditions
12 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT TIME

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
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 adjustmer�t claimed �s the entire ad�ustment 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 M;ilestones) shall be determined by Owner's Representative. No claim for an
a djus tmen t in t he Contract Time (or Mi lestones)will be valid if not submitted in accordance with
the requirements of this paragraph.

� 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 Contrar.t 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 tlie control of Contractor, or (ii) delays beyond the control of both parties including

4 ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE WORK �
This article deleted. See SECTION lll, ARTICLE 18 — ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE
WORK. ,'
S EXCAVATION FOR UNDERGROUND WORK
T"he 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
rnaintaining 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
o�all appropriate Safety Regulatory Agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health
. Administration (OSHA) reyuirements for excavation. Unless otherwise specifically stated in �
t�ese 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
e�ccavation 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 �
c�ither provide the necessary safety requirements or provide alternate means for the
a�ccomplishment 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 �
�ufficient yuantities 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
QSHA 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
�afety requirements which allow the Contractor to control the amount of restaration work
necessary to complete the project. �
1'�1ot more than one hundred (100) feet of trench shall be opened at one time in advance of the
p�mpleted work unless written permission is received from the Engineer for the distance �

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 other�vise 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

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.
� 7 EXCAVATION AND FORMS FOR CONCRETE WORK
� 7.1 EXCAVATION
Excavating far concrete wark shall be made to the required depth of the subgrade or base upon
which the concrete is to be placed. The base or subgrade shall be thoroughly compacted to a

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 Ciearwater Engineering Department has the responsibility to minimize the amount of
soil erosion into the City's streets, storm sewers and waterways.
T�►e 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
s�bcontractors accessing the property with equipment or construction materials. Then rain storms
r�distribute the eroded soil into the adjacent streets, storm systems and waterways. '
When erosion takes place, a City Inspector will place a correction notice at the site. The
ptocedure will be as follows:
l 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 �
t�1e erosion problem and charge the contractar 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 Planning& Devetopment Services at 562-4741.
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater's Code of Ordinances requires erosion control on �
a�l land development projects.
Erosion control must be in place and maintained throughout the job. Failure to do so may result
i� additional costs and time delays to the permit holder. �
Contact Engineering Department with specific questions at 562-4750.

� by the Contractor for the safe and convenient performance of the work. All pipe, fittings, valves
and hydrants shall be carefully lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of a derrick,
ropes, or other suitable tools or equipment in such a manner as to prevent damage to materials
� and protective coatings and linings. Under no circumstances shall materials be dropped or
dumped in the trench.
� If damage occurs to any pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants or accessories in handling, the damage
shall be immediately brought to the Engineer's attention. The Engineer shall prescribe corrective
repairs or rejection of the damaged items.
� All pipe and fittings shall be carefully examined for cracks and other defects while suspended
above the trench immediately before installation in final position. Spigot ends shall be examined
with particular care as this area is the most vulnerable to damage from handling. Defective pipe
� or fittings shall be laid aside for inspection by the Engineer who will prescribe corrective repairs
or rejection.
All lumps, blisters, and excess coating shall be removed from the bell and spigot end of each
� pipe, and the outside of the spigot and the inside of the bell shall be wire brushed and wiped
clean and dry and free from oil and grease before the pipe is laid. Pipe joints shall be made up in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
� Every precaution shall be taken to prevent foreign material from entering the pipe while it is
being placed in the line. If the pipe laying crew cannot put the pipe into the trench and in place
� without getting earth into it, the Engineer may require that, before lowering the pipe into the
trench, a heavy, woven canvas bag of suitable size shall be placed over each end and left there
until the connection is to be made to the adjacent pipe. During laying operation, no debris, tools,
� clothing or other materials shall be placed in the pipe.
As each length of pipe is placed in the trench, the spigot end shall be centered in the bell and the
pipe forced home and brought to correct line and grade. The pipe shall be secured in place with
� approved backfill material tamped under it except at the bells. Precautions shall be taken to
prevent dirt from entering the joint space.
At times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed by a
�� watertight plug or other means approved by the Engineer.
The cutting of pipe for inserting valves, fittings, or closure pieces shall be done in a neat and
� workmanlike manner without damage to the pipe or cement lining and so as to leave a smooth
end at right a:ngtes to the axis of the pipe.
Pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of laying unless directed otherwise by the
� Engineer. Where pipe is laid on the grade of 10 per cent or greater, the laying shall start at
bottom and shall proceed upward with the bell ends of the pipe upgrade.
Wherever it �s necessary to deflect pipe from a straight line, either in the vertical or horizontal
� plane to avord obstructions or to plumb stems; or where long radius curves are permitted, the
amount of deflection allowed shall not exceed that allowed under the latest edition of
ANSUAWWA C600-82 and C900 81 or latest revisions.
� No pipe shall be laid when, in the opinion of the Engineer,trench conditions are unsuitable.

� 49.11.3 SPRAYING
The surface, prior to spraying, shall be damp without noticeable free water droplets or running
, water. Materi,als shall be sprayed, applied to a minimum uniform thickness to insure that all
cracks, crevices and voids are filled and a somewhat smooth surface remains after light
troweling. The light troweling is performed to compact the material into voids and to set the
� bond. Not bei-ore the first application has begun to take an initial set (disappearance of surface
sheen which c:ould be I S minutes to l hour depending upon ambient conditions) is the second
application made to assure a minimum total finished thickness of l/2 inch. The surface is then
' troweled to a smooth finish being careful not to over trowel so as to bring additional water to the
surface and weaken it. A brush finish may be applied to the finished coat to remove trowel
marks. Manui�acturer's recommendation shall be followed whenever more than 24 hours have
elapsed between applications. The wooden bench covers shall be removed and the bench is
, sprayed such that a gradual slope is produces from the walls to the invert with the thickness at
the edge of th� invert being no less than l/2 inch. The wall bench intersection shall be rounded to
a uniform rad.ius, the full circumference of the intersection. The final application shall have a
' minimum of four(4)hours cure time before being subjected to active flow.
