matters relating to the acceptability of the work or the interpretation of the requirements of the
Contract Documents pertaining to the performance and furnishing of the work and Claims under
the Articles for Changes of Wark, Changes of Contract Time and Changes of Contract Price wil:l
be referred initially to Owner's Representative in writing with a request for a formal decision in
accordance with this paragraph. Written notice of each such claim, dispute or other matter wil:l
be delivered by the claimant to Owner's Representative and the other party to the Agreement
promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the start of the occurrence or eveni
giving rise thereto, and written supporting data will be submitted to Owner's Representative and
the other party within sixty (60) days after the start of such occurrence or event unless Owner's
Representative allows an additional period of time for the submission of additional or more
accurate data in support of such claim, dispute or other matter. The opposing party shall submit
any response to Owner's Representative and the claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt o�'

Section III — General Conditions
written decision on such claim, dispute or other matter will be final and binding upon the Owner
and Contractor unless (i) an appeal from Owner Representative's decision is taken within thirty
(30) days of the Owner Representative's decision, or the appeal time which may be stated in a
Dispute Resolution Agreement between Owner and Contractor for the settlement of disputes or
(ii) if no such Dispute Resolution Agreement has been entered into, a written notice of intention
to appeal from Owner Representative's written decision is delivered by the Owner or Contractor
to the other and to Owner's Representative within thirty (30) days after the date of such decision

Owner or Contractor and will not be liable in connection with any interpretation or decision
rendered in good faith in such capacity. The rendering of a decision by Owner's Representative
with respect to any such claim, dispute or other matter will be a condition precedent to any
exercise by the Owner or Contractor of such rights or remedies as either may otherwise have
under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any such claim, dispute
or other matter pursuant the Article on Dispute Resolution.
9.6 LIMITATIONS ON OWNER REPRESENTATIVE'S

agent of any of them.
Owner's Representative will not supervise, direct, control or have authority over or be
responsible for Contractor's means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of

certificates of inspection, tests and approvals and other documentation required to be delivered
by the Contractor will only be to determine generally that their content complies with the
requirements of the Contract Documents and, in the case of certificates of inspections, tests and

recommended 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

J
11.1 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to authorized adjustments)
payable to Contractor for performing the Work. All duties, responsibilities and obligations
assigned to or undertaken by Contractor shall be at Contractor's expense without change in the
Contract Price. The Contract Price may only be adjusted by a Change Order or by a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be based on a written notice
of claim stating the general nature of the claim, to be delivered by the party making the claim to
the other party and to Owner's Representative or promptly (but in no event later than thirty days )
SectionIII 2013-0208.doc Page 28 of 49 7/31/201'Z
Section III — General Conditions
after the start of the occurrence or 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 Price 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.
The application 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 t�. The costs of materials shall ,
be substantiated through vendors' invoices.
3. Rental or equivalent rental costs of equipment, including necessary transportation
costs 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 a11 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 (15%) 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°Io).
B. A fixed fee of ten percent (10%) sha11 be added to the costs of Item 2 above.

Section III — 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 suc11
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 j
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 ol.'
items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison ol'
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
Owner or Contractor may make a claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price if: (i) the quantity
of any item of Unit Price Wark performed 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 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 Contractox
in his original bid.
SectionIII 2013-0208.doc Page 30 of 49 7/31/201'<?
Section III — General Conditions
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
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
(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.

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

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

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.
13.4 CORRECTION OR REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE WORK

an earlier date if specifically and expressly so provided in the Specifications or by Written
Amendment.

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

bills, of which the Owner has written notice, or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid
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,

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 termination, 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 termination.
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.

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 a11 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 necessary 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
necessary to complete the project.
Not more than one hundred (100) feet of trench sha11 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 perfortned 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.

Unless otherwise specified, all concrete shall have fiber 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-85. The aggregate shall conform to ASTM C-33. All ready mix concrete
shall conform to ASTM C-94. The slump for all concrete shall be in the range of 3" to 5", exce�t
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, a.s
determined by the Engineer, to determine product acceptability, or need for removal, and
compensation or denial thereof.

EXCAVATION AND FORMS FOR CONCRETE WORK
EXCAVATION
Excavating for concrete work shall be made to the required depth of the subgrade or base upon
which the conerete is to be placed. The base or subgrade shall be thoroughly compacted to a
point 6" outside said concrete work before the forms are placed. Concrete shall be poured "in the

19.2 TESTING
The Contractor shall take all precautions to secure a perfectly watertight sewer under all
conditions. At the discretion of the City Engineer or his designee, the watertightness of a sewer
which has a crown lying below groundwater level may be tested by measuring the infiltration.
The watertightness of sewers having crowns lying above groundwater level may be tested by
filling the pipe with water so as to produce a hydrostatic head of two feet or more above the
crown of the sewer at the upper end of the test section of the water table outside of the sewer,
whichever is higher, and then measuring the exfiltration. In no case shall the infiltration or
exfiltration exceed 150 gallon per inch of diameter per mile per day. The Contractor shall furnish
all labor, materials and equipment to test the amount of infiltration or exfiltration under the

20.4 TESTING
20.4.1 TESTING OF GRAVITY SEWERS
The Contractor shall take a11 precautions to secure a perfectly water tight sewer under all
conditions. The water tightness of a sewer which has a crown lying below groundwater level
may be tested by measuring infiltration. The water tightness of sewers having crowns lying
above groundwater level may be tested by filling the pipe with water so as to produce a
hydrostatic head of two feet or more above the crown of the sewer at the upper end of the test
section or the water table outside of the sewer, whichever is higher, and then measuring the
exfiltration. In no case shall the infiltration or exfiltration exceed 50 gallon per inch of diameter
per mile per day. The Contractor shall furnish a11 labor, materials and equipment to test the
amount of infiltration or exfiltration under the Engineer's direction. Where the infiltration or
exfiltration is excessive, the Contractor at his own expense shall take the necessary steps to
remedy such conditions by uncovering the sewer, remaking the joints or by replacing the entire
length of sewer as required by the Engineer. No such repaired joints may be backfilled until after
they have been tested and found to be acceptable. Care shall be taken to avoid flotation. The
Contractor shall TV inspect a11 mains to verify the true and uniform grade and the absence of
bellies or dropped joints prior to acceptance. Any infiltration, dips or sags of more than 1/4-
inches shall be cause for rejection.

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 correction 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 particular 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 permit holder.
Contact Engineering Department with specific questions at 562-4750.

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 sha11 be taken to
prevent dirt from entering the joint space.

surface as practicable, with the nozzle held approximately 3 feet from the work (except in
confined 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 sha11 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 otherwise 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 behinci

existing reinforcement.
The time interval between successive layers in sloping vertical or overhanging work must be
sufficient to a11ow initial but not final set to develop. At the time the initial set is developing, the
surface shall be cleaned to remove the thin film of laitance in order to provide a perfect bon�
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 anci
adjacent gunite shall be thoroughly cleaned as necessary, then moistened and scoured with an air
jet.
48.14 SURFACE FINISH
Nozzleman shall bring the gunite to an even plane and to well formed corners by working up ta�
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 filled 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 7'7
depending upon atmospheric condition.

Section N — 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 sha11 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
sufficient 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 sha11 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 maximum length of material hose for the application of gunite sha11 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. M�. 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 standard type of compressor shall be satisfactory if it is of sufficient
capacity to provide, without interruption, the pressures and volume of air necessary for the
longest hose delivery. The air compressor capacity determinations sha11 include allowances made
for the air consumed in blowing rebound, cleaning, reinforcing and for incidental uses.
Compressor equipment sha11 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 sha11 be uniformly steady (nonpulsating).

EXHIBIT A
GENERAL CONDITIONS:
All activities shall be implemented as set forth in the plans, specifications and performance criteria as
approved by this permit. Any deviation from the permitted activity and the conditions for undertaking
that activity shall constitute a violation of this permit.
This permit or a copy thereof, complete with all conditions, attachments, exhibits, and modifications, shall be kept
at the work site of the permitted activity. The complete permit shall be available for review at the work site upon
request by District staff. The permittee shall require the contractor to review the complete permit prior to
commencement of the activity authorized by this permit.
3. For general permits authorizing incidental site activities, the following limiting general conditions shall also apply
a. If the decision to issue the associated individual permit is not final within 90 days of issuance of the
incidental site activities permit, the site must be restored by the permittee within 90 days after notification by
the District. Restoration must be completed by re-contouring the disturbed site to previous grades and
slopes re-establishing and maintaining suitable vegetation and erosion control to provide stabilized
hydraulic conditions. The period for completing restoration may be extended if requested by the permittee
and determined by the District to be warranted due to adverse weather conditions or other good cause. In
addition, the permittee shall institute stabilization measures for erosion and sediment control as soon as
practicable, but in no case more than 7 days after notification by the District.
b. The incidental site activities are commenced at the permittee's own risk. The Governing Board will not
consider the monetary costs associated with the incidental site activities or any potential restoration costs in
making its decision to approve or deny the individual environmental resource permit application. Issuance of
this permit shall not in any way be construed as commitment to issue the associated individual
environmental resource permit.
4. Activities approved by this permit shall be conducted in a manner which does not cause violations of state water
quality standards. The permittee shall implement best management practices for erosion and a pollution control
to prevent violation of state water quality standards. Temporary erosion control shall be implemented prior to and
during construction, and permanent control measures shall be completed within 7 days of any construction
activity. Turbidity barriers shall be installed and maintained at all locations where the possibility of transferring
suspended solids into the receiving waterbody exists due to the permitted work. Turbidity barriers shall remain in
place at all locations until construction is completed and soils are stabilized and vegetation has been established.
Thereafter the permittee shall be responsible for the removal of the barriers. The permittee shall correct any
erosion or shoaling that causes adverse impacts to the water resources.
5. Water quality data for the water discharged from the permittee's property or into the surtace waters of the state
shall be submitted to the District as required by the permit. Analyses shall be performed according to procedures
outlined in the current edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater by the American
Public Health Association or Methods for Chemical Analyses of Water and Wastes by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency. If water quality data are required, the permittee shall provide data as required on volumes of
water discharged, including total volume discharged during the days of sampling and total monthly volume
dis-charged from the property or into surface waters of the state.
6. District staff must be notified in advance of any proposed construction dewatering. If the dewatering activity is
likely to result in offsite discharge or sediment transport into wetlands or surface waters, a written dewatering plan
must either have been submitted and approved with the permit application or submitted to the District as a permit
prior to the dewatering event as a permit modification. A water use permit may be required prior to any use
exceeding the thresholds in Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C.

STANDARD PROTECTION MEASURES FOR THE EASTERN INDIGO SNAKE
1. An eastern indigo snake protection/education plan shall be developed by the applicant or
requestor for all construction personnel to follow. The plan shall be provided to the
Service for review and approval at least 30 days prior to any clearing activities. The
educational materials for the plan may consist of a combination of posters, videos,
pamphlets, and lectures (e.g., an observer trained to identify eastern indigo snakes could
use the protection/education plan to instruct construction personnel before any clearing
activities occur). Informational signs should be posted throughout the construction site
and along any proposed access road to contain the following information:
a. a description of the eastern indigo snake, its habits, and protection under Federal
Law;
b. instructions not to injure, harm, harass or kill this species;
c. directions to cease clearing activities and allow the eastern indigo snake sufficient
time to move away from the site on its own before resuming clearing; and,
d. telephone numbers of pertinent agencies to be contacted if a dead eastern indigo
snake is encountered. The dead specimen should be thoroughly soaked in water
and then frozen.
2. If not currently authorized through an Incidental Take Statement in association with a
Biological Opinion, only individuals who have been either authorized by a section
10(a)(1)(A) permit issued by the Service, or by the State of Florida through the Florida
Fish Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) for such activities, are permitted to come
in contact with an eastern indigo snake.
3. An eastern indigo snake monitoring report must be submitted to the appropriate Florida
, Field Office within 60 days of the conclusion of clearing phases. The report should be
submitted whether or not eastern indigo snakes are observed. The report should contain
the following information:

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the shallow soil and g�oundwater conditions at
the location of a proposed box culvert for purposes of providing general recommendati�ns for
- design and construction/installation.
0
The specific scope of investigation included the following:
Performed three (3) power auger borings to estimated depths of 10 to 16 feet within the
proposed construction/installation area.
2. Measured the depth of the groundwater table at the location of the borings.
3. Prepared this report detailing the results of our investigation and recommendations
� regarding the design and construction/installation of the proposed structure.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The "Soil Survey of Pinellas County, Florida" published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil
Conservation Service (S.C.S.) was reviewed. The shallow soil types identified at the boring
-� locations are Myakka Soils and U�ban Land: mixture of nearly level poorly drained sandy soils and
areas of Urban Land. The seasonal high water table is generally at a depth of 6 to 18 inches.
_ The USGS, "Safety Harbor, Fla." topographic map dated 1956, photorevised 1987, showing the
area on which the borings are located, was reviewed. Based on this review, the boring lacations
are estimated to occu� at elevations of approximately +15 to +20 feet above National Geodetic
_ Vertical Datum (NGVD).
FIELD EXPLORATION � SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
°° Field Exploration
Three (3) auger borings (AB-1 through AB-3) were conducted to depths of 10 to 16 feet below
- land surface (bls) within the p�oject area. The borings were approximately located in the field
according to the site plan provided by the client. The approximate boring locations are indicated
on Figure 1.
The results of the subsurface exploration program including the soil stratification in profile form
and some pertinent exploration information such as groundwater levels are included on Figure 2.
_ Soil stratification was based on the review of recovered soil samples and interpretation of the field
boring logs by a geotechnical engineer. The stratification lines represent the approximate
boundaries between soil types; the actual transition may be gradual. The soil strata were visually
classified using the Unified Soils Classification System. Minor variations in soil types not
^ considered important to our engineering evaluations may have been abbreviated or omitted for
clarity.

Subsurface Conditions
In general, the auger borings encountered fine sands to silty fine sands (Strata 1, 2 and 4) to
depths of 10 to 16 feet. Boring AB-1 encountered muck (Stratum 3) between the depths of 7 to
11 feet followed by fine sands. The borings terminated in the �ne sands at depths of 10 and 16
feet.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater levels were recorded following the soil investigation. The measured levels are
indicated adjacent to the boring profiles on Figure 2. The measured groundwater depths in the
borings conducted by AEI vary from 4.4 to 5.9 feet below the existing ground surface.
Seasonal fluctuations of groundwater levels can be anticipated in response to variations in
rainfall. The level recorded during this investigation is estimated to be higher than the normal
seasonal high levels. Based on the review of the SCS soil survey, boring results, measured
groundwater levels, adjacent surface water features and antecedent rainfall, the normal seasonal
high groundwater table is estimated to occur at 1.0 to 1.5 feet above the level encounte�ed during
our field investigation.
GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The organic muck (Stratum 3) will not be suitable for long term support and perFormance of the
culvert due to the compressibility of these soils. All organic soils should be completely removed
and replaced with clean fine sands prior to construction/installation of any structures. The
following are our recommendations for the design and installation of the proposed structure.
Bedding and Backfill Requirements
The bottom of the excavation and backfill in areas of granular soils should be compacted using
1 small hand-operated equipment. Any organics should be completely removed and backfilleci
with granular soil. Bedding and backfill up to 6 inches above the top of the structure should
consist of non-cohesive granular material. The granular material may consist of the on-site
� sandy soil of Strata 1, 2 and 4, or impo�ted fine sand with less than 12% passing the #20q
standard sieve. The structure should be laid directly on the trench bottom provided that the
natural soil at the bottom level is granular. The trench bottom should be compacted to 95
percent of its Modified Proctor Density to a minimum depth of one foot. Pumping or disturbed
� soils should be overexcavated and replaced with dry granular materials. Backfilling should
progress as rapidly as the construction and testing of the work will permit. All backfill should be
suitable as described above and be free of deleterious material. The initial backfill should be
� carefully deposited on both sides of the structure at the same time and uniformly compacted until
enough has been placed to provide a cover of one foot above the top of the structure. In no case
should backfill material be placed in the trench in a manner that will cause shock to, or unequa!
� pressure on the structure. The backfill should be placed and compacted to 95 percent of
maximum density as determined by AASHT� T-180 under and within six (6) feet of any traveled
way and under other existing hard surFaced or previously compacted areas.

_ Page d
In ail areas except for those stated above, compaction rnust equal 90 percent of the maximum
density as determined by AASHTO T-180 or as directed by the Geotechnical Engineer. Under
' no conditions shauld construction debris, concrete, etc., be included with the backfill. Native
soils excavated from below the existing groundwater table may be saturated and difficult to
compact. In such cases, sufficient time and adequate drying procedures should be provided to
� produce soil with a moisture content which is t 2 percent of optimum. It may be more practical in
some cases to bring in dry material from off-site than to dry the excavated soils.
_ Dewatering
Based on the anticipated seasonal high groundwater levels over the proposed project site,
_ dewatering activities will be necessary. The dewatering system should be designed ta lower and
maintain the groundwater to a depth of 18 to 24 inches below the bottom of the structure. The
actual method of dewatering should be determined by the contractor. Care should be used to
_ avoid excessive lowering of the shallow groundwater table as adjacent structure damage may
occur.
LIMITATIONS
The geotechnical investigation and engineering recommendations submitted herein are based on
the data obtained from the soil borings presented on Figure 2. This report does not reflect any
-� variations which may occur adjacent to or between the individual borings. Should variations or
anomalies then appear evident, it will be necessary for Andreyev Engineering, Inc. to re-evaluate
our engineering recommendations after performing additional on-site observations and possible
_ additional soil tests to note the characteristics of reported variations.

Two (2) additional auger borings (AB-4 through AB-5) were conducted to depths of 14 to 15 fe�4
below land surface (bls) within the project area. The borings were located in the field accordin�
the request of the client. The approximate boring locations are indicated on Figure 1.
The results of the subsurface exploration program including the soil stratification in profile forrn
and some pertinent exploration information such as g�oundwater levels are included on Figure 2.
Soil stratification was based on the review of recovered soil samples and interpretation of the fielr�
boring logs by a geotechnical engineer. The strati�cation lines represent the approximatP
boundaries between soil types; the actual transition may be gradual. The soil strata were visually
classified using the Unified Soils Classification System. Minor variations in soil types nat
considered important to our engineering evaluations may have been abbreviated or omitted far
clarity.
' Subsurtace Conditions
In general, the auger borings encountered fine sands (Strata 1, 2 and 4) to depths of 14 to 15 feet
' within a muck layer (Stratum 3) between the depths of 3 to 12 feet in boring AB-4 and be#ween th�
depths of 2 to 11 feet in boring AB-5 followed by fine sands. The borings terminated in the fine
sands at depths of 14 and 15 feet.
' Groundwater Conditions
' Groundwater levels were recorded following the soil investigation. The measured levels ara
indicated adjacent to the boring profiles on Figure 2. The groundwater was measured at depths
of 3 and 5 feet below the ground surface in the borings conducted.
