CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE: 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 Engineer promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the start of the occurrence or event giving rise to the claim. Notice of the amount of the claim with supporting data Seetion III III - 23 1:�DOC,100083�00083011.00�PrjspecslSect3.wpd 11.1 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT CONTINUED: shall be delivered within sixty days after the start of such occurrence or event (unless Engineer 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 proiit), (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. 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 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 ta�ces; 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 Engineer 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 guazanteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifcations of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by Engineer. 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. 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 signiiicantly 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 incuned additional expense or Owner believes that Owner , Seetion III �Q — 24 J:�DO(.100083\00083011.00�Prjspecs�Sec[3.wpd � � 11.3 UNIT PRICE WORK CONTINUED: 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, the 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.

A retainage of not less than five (5%) of the amount of each Application for Payment for the total of all Work completed to date will be held until final completion and acceptance of the Work covered in the Contract Documents.

Contractor shall at Owner's . request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged, or waived. If Contractor fails to do so, then Owner may, after having served written notice on said Contractor either pay unpaid bills, of which Owner has written notice, or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably suf�cient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged, whereupon payment to Contractor shall be resumed in aceordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon Owner to the Contractor or the Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, Owner shall be deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by Owner shall be considered as payment made under the Contract by Owner to Contractor, and Owner shall not be liable to Contractor for any such payment made in good faith. 14.3 REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS FOR PROGRESS PAYMENTS- Engineer will within twenty days after receipt of each Application for payment, either indicate a recommendation of payment and present Application to Owner, or return the Application to Contractor indicating Engineer's reasons for refusing to recommend payment.

Contractor at any time may notify Owner and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, Owner, Contractor, 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 and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor.

General All cellular concrete mats shall be pre-manufactured as an assembly of concrete blocks, with specific hydraulic capacities, bound into mats by the use of revetment cables. ', Individual blocks in the cellular mats shall be staggered and interlocked for enhanced stability. The open cell version of the blocks have two (2) vertical openings of rectangular cross section with suf�cient wall thickness to resist breakage during shipping and � installation. The mats shall be constructed of open and/or closed cell blocks as shown on the contract drawings. Parallel strands of cable shall extend through two (2) ducts in each block in a manner which provides for longitudinal binding of the blocks within the mats. Each row � of blocks shall be laterally offset by one-half block width from the adjacent row so that any given bloek is cabled to four other blocks (two in the row above and two in the row below). The gross area of each individual block in direct contact with the protected subgrade sha11 be no less than one square foot. Each block shall incorporate interlocking surfaces that prevent lateral displacement of the blocks within the mats when they aze lifted by the longitudinal revetment cables. The interlocking surfaces must not protrude beyond the perimeter of the blocks to such an extent that they reduce the flexibility or articulation capability of the cellular mats or become damaged or broken when the mats are lifted during shipment or placement. Once the mats are in place, the interlocking surfaces shall prevent the lateral displacement of the blocks even if the cables should become damaged or removed. The mats must be able to flex a minimum of 25 ° between any given row or column of blocks in the uplift direction and a minimum of 45 ° in the downward direction. The cables shall be inserted into the mats in such a manner to form lifting loops at one end of the mat with the corresponding cable ends spliced together to form a lifting loop at the other end of the mat with sleeves approved by the Engineer.

PART 3: FOUNDATION PREPARATION, GEOTEXTILE AND MAT PLACEMENT � A. Foundation Preparation � General. Areas on which filter fabric and cellular concrete blocks are to be placed shall be � Section N N-49 J:�DOC100083�00083011.00�Prjspecs\Tspecl.wpd li I� I� �'� � B. � � � � C. � constructed to the lines and grades shown on the Contract Drawings and to the tolerances specified in the Contract Documents, and approved by the Engineer. Grading. The slope shall be graded to a smooth plane surface to ensure that intimate contact is achieved between the slope face and the geotextile (filter fabric), and between the geotextile and the entire bottom surface of the cellular concrete blocks. All slope deformities, roots, grade stakes, and stones which project normal to the local slope face must be regraded or removed. No holes, "pockmarks", slope board teeth marks, footprints, or other voids greater than 1.0 inch in depth normal to the local slope face shall be permitted. No grooves or depressions greater than 0.5 inches in depth normal to the local slope face with a dimension exceeding 1.0 foot in any direction shall be permitted. Where such areas are evident, they shall be brought to grade by placing compacted homogeneous material. The slope and slope face shall be uniformly compacted, and the depth of layers, homogeneity of soil, and amount of compaction shall be as required by the Engineer. Excavation and preparation for anchor trenches, side trenches, and toe trenches or aprons shall be done in accordance to the lines, grades and dimensions shown in the Contract Drawings. The anchor trench hinge-point at the top of the slope shall be uniformly graded so that no dips or bumps greater than 0.5 inches over or under the local grade occur. The width of the anchor trench hinge-point shall also be graded uniformly to assure intimate contact between all cellular concrete blocks and the underlying grade at the hinge-point. Inspection. Immediately prior to placing the filter fabric and cellular concrete blocks, the prepared area shall be inspected by the Engineer, the owner's representative, and by the manufacturer's representative. No fabric or blocks shall be placed thereon until that area has been approved by each of these parties. Placement of Geotextile Filter Fabric General. Filter Fabric, or filtration geotextile, as speciiied elsewhere, shall be placed within the limits shown on the Contract Drawings. Placement. The filtration geotextile shall be placed directly on the prepared area, in intimate contact with the subgrade, and free of folds or wrinkles. The geotextile shall not be walked on or disturbed when the result is a loss of intimate contact between the cellulaz concrete block and the geotextile or between the geotextile and the subgrade. The geotextile filter fabric shall be placed so that the upstream strip of fabric overlaps the downstream strip. The longitudinal and transverse joints shall be overlapped at least two (2) feet. The geotextile shall extend at least one foot beyond the top and bottom revetment termination points. If cellular concrete blocks are assembled and placed as large mattresses, the top lap edge of the geotextile should not occur in the same location as a space between cellular concrete mats unless the space is concrete filled. Placement of Cellular Concrete Blocks/Mats General. Cellularconcrete block/mats, as specified in Part 2:A of these Specifications, shall be constructed within the specified lines and grades shown on the Contract Drawings. � Seetion N IV-50 I:�DO(.100083\0008301 LOO�Prjspecs\Tspecl.wpd � � � Placement. The cellular concrete blocks shall be placed on the filter fabric in such a manner as to produce a smooth plane surface in intimate contact with the filter fabric. No individual block within the plane of placed cellular concrete blocks shall protrude more than one-half inch or as otherwise specified by the Engineer. To ensure that the cellular concrete blocks are flush and develop intimate contact with the subgrade, the blocks shall be "seated" with a roller or other means as approved by the Engineer. If assembled and placed as large mattresses, the cellular concrete mats shall be attached to a spreader bar or other approved device to aid in the lifting and placing of the mats in their proper position by the use of a crane or other approved equipment. The equipment used should have adequate capacity to place the mats without bumping, dragging, tearing or otherwise damaging the underlying fabric. The mats shall be placed side by side andJor end to end, so that the mats abut each other. Mat seams or openings between mats greater than two (2) inches shall be filled with grout. Whether placed by hand or in lazge mattresses, distinct changes in grade that results in a discontinuous revetment surface in the direction of flow shall require a grout seam at the grade change location so as to produce a continuous surface. Helix anchors shall be "screwed" into the ground by machine at the proposed locations as identiiied in the Contract Drawings. Trench excavation for the placement of helix anchors is not an acceptable means of installation. Helix anchors or other anchor types as specified on the plans shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines and shall be capable of resisting a direct pull of at least 5000 pounds when installed at top of bank. (Note: Certain areas may require compaction at top of bank in order to achieve a blow count of 7-14 per ASTM-D1586; necessary to achieve 5000 pounds of pull.) Anchor trenches and side trenches shall be backf'illed and compacted flush with the top of the blocks. The integrity of a soil trench backfill must be maintained so as to ensure a surface that is flush with the top surface of the cellular concrete blocks for its entire service life. Toe trenches shall be backfilled as shown on the Contract Drawings. Backfilling and compaction of trenches shall be completed in a timely fashion. No more than 500 lineal feet of placed cellulaz concrete blocks with non-completed anchor and/or toe trenches shall be permitted at any time. _ Finishing. The cells or openings in the cellular concrete blocks shall be backfilled and compacted immediately with suitable material to assure that there are not voids and so that compacted material extends from the flter fabric to one-inch above the surface of the cellular concrete block. Backfilling and compaction shall be completed in a timely manner such that no more than 500 feet of exposed mats exist at any time. Consultation. The manufacturer of the cellular concrete blocks/mats shall provide design and construction advice during the design and initial installation phases of the project, when required. PAYMENT a.
