Horne, II City Manager 1 of 1 ADDENDUM NO. 3 for Woodlawn Terrace Floodplain Storage Clearwater, Florida Project Number 11 -0028 -EN DATE: January 13, 2014 SUBJECT: Addendum No. 3 TO: Prospective Bidders and Others Concerned The following questions were asked. Responses are provided for each question. 1. Is the city going to allow more time in the contract to do the additional work with the buried trash? Should the City elect to include the Bid Alternates in the contract, additional time will be added to the contract if deemed necessary. 2a. The erosion control has increased with the handling of the trash piles but the line item for silt fence has not increased. Will this line item be increased? The amount of silt fence should not need to be increased as the perimeter of the site has not changed. 2b. Who maintains the silt fence, erosion control, and debris pile tarps if the material is left on site and for how long? If material is left on site and the City is handling it, then the City will maintain the sedimentation and erosion controls. If the Contractor is handling the materials, then the Contractor's payment will be increased based on the established unit price in the contract. 3. What area on the project does the city want the stock piles of debris? If the pile is within the work area it will compromise the job schedule. If it is located outside of the work area there will be more restoration. Will the restoration be part of the sod line item? If undesirable materials are encountered, the City will work with the Contractor on the location of the stock piles. Restoration will be compensated as needed and by the unit price determined in the contract. 4. The pond area is over 10 acres but the clearing and grubbing line item is one third of that amount. Why? The pond area is approximately 2.7 acres. The work in the ditch is approximately 0.5 acres. 5. Alternate A assumes 5,000 cy of soil to be sifted. After sifting there will be clean soil, possibly over 4,000 cy's, left over to haul off. Will this material revert back to the original bid item #8 Excavation and be paid for as part of the pond excavation determined by the as -built survey, or will it be deducted from the survey and need to be paid for in the Alternate A cost? The volume of screened soil hauled off and disposed of by the Contractor will be paid for under the Excavation and Disposal line item. 1 of 2 6. If the debris is found to contain hazardous material, such as shingles with asbestos, and cannot be handled at a local legal waste facility how will it be handled? Who will pay for additional handling costs of haz mat material? Who will pay for testing of this material? The City will take care of any hazardous materials testing, handling, and hauling if needed.

The Engineer and Construction Services Department shall receive updated copies at each progress meeting, and the Engineer shall respond to each RFI within twenty -one (21) consecutive calendar days. The untimely submission of Submittal or RFIs shall not be grounds for a delay claim from the Contractor. Engineer's review and approval of Shop Drawings and Samples will be only to determine if the items covered by the submittals will, after installation or incorporation in the Work, conform to the information given in the Contract Documents and be compatible with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated the Contract Documents. Engineer's review and approval will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction (except where a particular means method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is specifically and expressly called for by the Contract Documents) or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. Contractor shall make corrections required by Engineer, and shall return the required number of corrected copies of Shop Drawings and submit as required new Samples for review and approval. Contractor shall direct specific attention in writing to revisions other than the corrections called for by Engineer on previous submittals. Engineer's review and approval of Shop Drawings or Samples shall not relieve Contractor from responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless Contractor has in writing called Engineer's attention to each such variation at the time of submission and Engineer has given written approval of each such variation by specific written notation thereof incorporated in or accompanying the Shop Drawing or Sample approval; nor will any approval by the Engineer relieve the Contractor from responsibility for complying with the requirements of paragraph above discussing field measurements by the Contractor. Contractor shall furnish required submittals with complete information and accuracy in order to achieve required approval of an item within two (2) submittals. Owner's Representative reserves the right to backcharge Contractor, for Engineer's costs for resubmittals that account for a number greater than twenty percent (20 %) of the total number of first time submittals. Owner's Representative reserves the right to backcharge Contractor for all third submittals.

The opposing party shall submit any response to Owner's Representative and the claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the claimant's last submittal, unless Owner's Representative allows additional time. Owner's Representative will render a formal decision in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the opposing party's submittal, if any, in accordance with this paragraph. Owner Representative's Section III.doc Page 26 of 49 7/31/2012 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 and a formal proceeding is instituted by the appealing party in a forum of competent jurisdiction to exercise such rights or remedies as the appealing party may have with respect to such claim, dispute or other matter in accordance with applicable Laws and Regulations within sixty (60) days of the date of such decision, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Owner and Contractor. When functioning as interpreter and judge, Owner's Representative will not show partiality to the 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 RESPONSIBILITIES Neither Owner Representative's authority or responsibility under this paragraph or under any other provision of the Contract Documents nor any decision made by Owner's Representative in good faith either to exercise or not exercise such authority or responsibility or the undertaking, exercise or performance of any authority or responsibility by Owner's Representative shall create, impose or give rise to any duty owed by Owner's Representative to Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person or organization or to any surety for or employee or 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 construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to the furnishing or performance of the work. Owner's Representative will not be responsible for Contractor's failure to perform or furnish the work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Owner's Representative will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of Contractor or of any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or of any other person or organization performing or furnishing any of the work. Owner Representative's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation and all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds and 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 approvals that the results certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents. The limitations upon authority and responsibility set forth in this paragraph shall also apply to Owner Representative's CEI, the Engineer's Consultants, and assistants. Section III.doc Page 27 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions 10 CHANGES IN THE WORK Without invalidating the Agreement and without notice to any surety, the Owner may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions in the Work. Such additions, deletions or revisions will be authorized by a Written Amendment, a Change Order, or a Work Change Directive. Upon receipt of any such document, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the Work involved which will be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents (except as may otherwise be specifically provided). If the Owner and Contractor are unable to agree as to the extent, if any, of an adjustment in the Contract Price or an adjustment of the Contract Time that should be allowed as a result of a 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 article for Uncovering Work. The Owner and Contractor shall execute appropriate Change Orders or Written Amendments 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 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. If notice of any change affecting the general scope of the work or the provisions of the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price or Contract Time) is required by the provisions of any Bond to be given to a surety, the giving of any such notice will be Contractor's responsibility, and the amount of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly. 11 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 Owner's Representative or promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) Section III.doc Page 28 of 49 7/31/2012 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 tax. 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 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 (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 %). B. A fixed fee of ten percent (10 %) shall be added to the costs of Item 2 above. Section III.doc Page 29 of 49 7/31/2012 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 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 taxes; and (ii) Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the allowances and 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 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 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 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 Contractor in his original bid. Section III.doc Page 30 of 49 7/31/2012 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. 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 Section III.doc Page 31 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions 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 thereof) specifically to be inspected, tested or approved by an employee or other representative of such public body including all 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 certificates 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 Work 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 Section III.doc Page 32 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions eliminated; however, this right of Owner's Representative to stop the Work shall 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. 13.4 CORRECTION OR REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE WORK 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 If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents or by any specific 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 instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, the Owner may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected. Work removed and replaced, and all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or resulting from such removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by Contractor. 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 determination 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 Section III.doc Page 33 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions 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. 13.7 OWNER MAY CORRECT DEFECTIVE WORK If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Owner's Representative to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by Owner's Representative in accordance with the article for Correction and Removal of Defective Work or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, the Owner may, after seven days' written notice to Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph the Owner shall proceed expeditiously. 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 site or for which the Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner's Representatives, Agents and employees, the Owner's other contractors, and Owner's Representative, Engineer, and Engineer's Consultants access to the site to enable the Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All claims, costs, losses and damages incurred or sustained by the Owner in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against Contractor and 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 the article for Change of Contract Price. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of Contractor's defective Work. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time (or Milestones) because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by the Owner of the Owner's rights and remedies hereunder. 14 PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION Requests for payment shall be processed in accordance with F.S. 218.735 and as described herein. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. 14.1 APPLICATION FOR PROGRESS PAYMENT Contractor shall submit (not more often than once a month) to Owner's Representative for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as of the 25th of each month and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Owner's Representative and the Contract Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, payment will not be made for materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work. Payment will only be made for that portion of the Work, which is fully installed including all materials, labor and equipment. A retainage of not less than five (5 %) of the amount of each Application for Payment for the total of all Work, including as -built survey and Inspector overtime reimbursement, completed to date will be held until final completion and Section III.doc Page 34 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions acceptance of the Work covered in the Contract Documents. No progress payment shall be construed to be acceptance of any portion of the Work under contract. The Contractor shall review with the Engineer or the Construction Inspector all quantities and work for which payment is being applied for and reach agreement prior to submittal of an Official Pay Request. The Engineer or the Construction Inspector will verify that the on -site marked up as -built drawings are up to date with the work and are in compliance with the Contract Documents. In addition to all other payment provisions set out in this contract, the Owner's Representative may require the Contractor to produce for Owner, within fifteen (15) days of the approval of any progress payment, evidence and/or payment affidavit that all subcontractors and suppliers have been paid any sum or sums then due. A failure on the part of the contractor to provide the report as required herein shall result in further progress or partial payments being withheld until the report is provided. 14.2 CONTRACTOR'S WARRANTY OF TITLE Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment, free and clear of liens. No materials or supplies for the Work shall be purchased by Contractor or Subcontractor subject to any chattel mortgage or under a conditional sale contact or other agreement by which an interest is retained by the seller. Contractor warrants that he has good title to all materials and supplies used by him in the Work, free from all liens, claims or encumbrances. Contractor shall indemnify and save the Owner harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of Subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialmen, and furnisher's of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools, and all supplies incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this Contract. Contractor shall at the 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 the Owner may, after having served written notice on said Contractor either pay unpaid 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, whereupon payment to Contractor shall 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 process payment by the Owner a properly submitted and documented Application for payment, unless the application requires review by an Agent. If the Application for payment requires review and approval by an Agent, properly submitted and documented Applications for payment will be paid by the Owner within twenty -five (25) business days. If an Application for payment is rejected, notice shall be given within twenty (20) business days of receipt indicating the reasons for refusing payment. The reasons for rejecting an Application will be submitted in writing, specifying deficiencies and identifying actions that would make the Application proper. Section III.doc Page 35 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. The Owner's Representative or Agent may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment to Owner. Owner's Representative or Agent may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or test, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be 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 in the article on Suspension of Work and Termination. The Owner may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by the Owner's Representative or Agent because: (i) claims have been made against the Owner on account of Contractor's performance or furnishing of the Work, (ii) Liens have been filed in connection with 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 to a set -off against the amount recommended, or (iv) the Owner has actual knowledge of any of the events described in this paragraph. The Owner shall give Contractor notice of refusal to pay in accordance with the time constraints of this section with a copy to the Owner's Representative or Agent, stating the reasons for such actions, and Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by the Owner and Contractor, when Contractor corrects to the Owner's satisfaction the reasons for such action. 14.4 PARTIAL UTILIZATION Use by the Owner at the Owner's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which (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 certificate 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 certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. Section IIl.doc Page 36 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions 14.5 FINAL INSPECTION Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, Owner's Representative will make a final inspection with Engineer, Owner and Contractor and will within thirty (30) days notify Contractor in writing of particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. The Owner's Representative will 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 and has delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance and operating instructions, As- built/Record Drawings, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required by the paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, certificates of inspection, Inspector overtime reimbursement as required in the Contract Documents and other documents, Contractor may make application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called for in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required by paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, (ii) consent of the surety, if any or if necessary, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to the Owner) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work.

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 final Application for Payment and 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 final 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 final payment will constitute: a waiver of all claims by the Owner against Contractor, except claims arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after final 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 thereof for a period of not more than ninety (90) days by notice in writing to Contractor, which will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. Contractor shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to any such suspension if Contractor makes an approved claim therefore as provided in the articles for Change of Contract Price and Change of Contract Time. 15.2 OWNER MAY TERMINATE Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events; if Contractor persistently fails to perform the work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress schedule as adjusted from time to time); 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 Section III.doc Page 38 of 49 7/31/2012 Section III — General Conditions Contract or any part thereof is sublet, without the previous written consent of the Owner, or if the Contract or any claim thereunder is assigned by Contractor otherwise than as herein specified, or at any time Owner's Representative certifies in writing to the Owner that the rate of progress of the Work or any part thereof is unsatisfactory or that the work or any part thereof is unnecessarily or unreasonably delayed. The Owner may, after giving Contractor (and the surety, if any), seven days' written notice and, 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 Work is finished. 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 terminated by the Owner, the termination 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 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.

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 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 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 Section IV.doc Page 6 of 128 5/15/2012 Section IV — Technical Specifications 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. 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 ", except 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, 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 for concrete work 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 point 6" outside said concrete work before the forms are placed. Concrete shall be poured "in the dry". 7.2 FORMS Forms for concrete work shall be either wood or metal (except curbs, metal only, unless by written permission from Engineer). They shall be free from warps or bends, shall have a depth equal to the dimensions required for the depth of the concrete deposited against them and shall be of sufficient strength when staked to resist the pressure of concrete without moving or springing. 8 REINFORCEMENT When required, reinforcement shall be placed in the concrete work. Bar reinforcement shall be deformed: ASTMA -A 615, steel shall be billet Intermediate or Hard Grade: Rail Steel A.A.S.H.T.O. M42. Twisted Bars shall not be used, Fabric Reinforcement shall conform to the Section IV.doc Page 7 of 128 5/15/2012 Section IV — Technical Specifications requirements of AASHTO M55 (ASTM A185). Welded deformed steel wire fabric for Concrete reinforcement shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 221 (ASTM A497). Epoxy coated reinforcing Steel Bars shall meet ASTM 775/A77 M -86 requirements. 8.1 BASIS OF PAYMENT Reinforcement shall not be paid for separately. The cost of such work shall be included in the contract unit price for the item of work specified. 9 OBSTRUCTIONS Any pipes, conduits, wires, mains, footings, driveways, or other structures encountered shall be carefully protected from injury or displacement. Any damage thereto shall be fully, promptly, and properly repaired by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer and the owner thereof Should it become necessary to change the position of water or gas or other pipes, sewer drains, or poles, the Engineer shall be at once notified of the locality and circumstances, and no claims for damages arising from the delay in adjusting the pipe, sewer drains or poles shall be made. Failure of the plans to show the location, nature or extent of any existing structures or obstructions shall not be the basis of a claim for extra work. Any survey monument or benchmark which must be disturbed shall be carefully referenced before removal, and unless otherwise provided for, shall be replaced upon completion of the work by a registered land surveyor. Any concrete removed due to construction requirements shall be removed to the nearest expansion joint or by saw cut.

Section IV.doc Page 61 of 128 5/15/2012 Section IV — Technical Specifications 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: 1st 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.

Protective barriers shall be installed as follows: 1. At or greater than the full dripline of all species of Mangroves and Cabbage Palms. 2. At or greater than the full dripline or all protected native pine trees and other conifer species. 3. At or greater than two- thirds of the dripline of all other protected species 4. At or greater than the full dripline of trees within a specimen tree stand. B. Protective barriers are to be constructed using no less than two -inch lumber for upright posts. Upright posts are to be at least four feet in length with a minimum of one foot anchored in the ground. Upright posts are to be placed at a maximum distance of eight feet apart. Horizontal rails are to be constructed using no less than one inch by four -inch lumber and shall be securely attached to the top of the upright post. The project City's representative must approve any variation from the above requirements. C. Whenever a protective barrier is required, it shall be in place until all construction activity is terminated. The area within the barrier limits shall remain undisturbed by any activity during construction. Native ground cover and understory vegetation existing within the barriers shall remain throughout construction. Exotic plant species may only be removed by manual labor utilizing hand tools or by other means if authorized in writing by the City's representative. D. Prior to the erection of any required protective barrier, all surface foreign material, trash or debris shall be removed from the area enclosed by the barrier, and after erection of the barrier no such material or litter shall be permitted to remain within the protected area. No equipment, chemicals, soil deposits or construction materials shall be placed within such protective barriers. E. No signs, building permits, wires, or other attachments of any kind shall be attached to any protected tree or palm. F. At all times, due care shall be taken to protect the critical root zone of trees protected by this section, and root pruning requirements shall apply to such trees. 62.2 ROOT PRUNING A. Where proposed construction improvements involve excavation and/or impacts to the critical root zone of protected trees, the Contractor shall be required to have an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist perform, or directly supervise root pruning to reduce the impacts of construction. The critical root zone is equivalent to the tree's dripline. Prior to any clearing, grubbing or excavation activities, the affected roots must be severed by clean pruning cuts at the point where grubbing or excavation impacts the root system. Roots can be pruned utilizing specified root pruning equipment designed for that purpose or by hand digging a trench and pruning roots with a pruning saw, chain saw or other equipment designed for tree pruning. Root pruning by trenching equipment or excavation equipment is strictly prohibited. Roots located in the critical root zone that will be impacted by Section IV.doc Page 124 of 128 5/15/2012 1 Section IV — Technical Specifications ' construction activities shall be pruned to a minimum depth of 18 inches below existing grade or to the depth of the proposed impact if less than 18 inches from existing grade. Tim Kurtz, Senior Landscape Architect is the City's Representative on Engineering Department projects for root Pruning issues and can be reached at (727) 562 -4737, or through the construction inspector assigned to the project. B. Root pruning shall only be performed by or under the direct supervision of an International 1 Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist. C. Any proposed root pruning trenches shall be identified on site (i.e. staked or painted) 1 inspected and approved by the City's representative prior to actual root pruning. D. Root pruning shall be performed as far in advance of other construction activities as is feasible, but at a minimum shall be performed prior to ANY impacts to the soil. Associated 1 tree protection measures should be implemented upon completion of said root pruning. E. If there is a likelihood of excessive wind and/or rain exceptional care shall be taken on any root pruning activities. F. Root pruning shall be limited to a minimum of ten inches per one inch of the trunk diameter from the tree base. Any exception must be approved by the City's representative prior to said 1 root pruning. G. Roots shall be cut cleanly, as far from the trunk of the tree as possible. Root pruning shall be ' done to a minimum depth of 18" from existing grade, or to the depth of the disturbance if less than 18 ". H. Root pruning shall be performed using a Doscocil Root Cutting Machine or equivalent. 1 Alternate equipment or techniques must be approved by the City's representative, prior to any work adjacent to trees to be preserved. 1 I. Root pruning shall be completed, inspected and accepted prior to the commencement of any excavation or other impacts to the critical root zones of trees to be protected. J. Excavations in an area where root are present shall not cause the tearing or ripping of tree 1 roots. Roots must first be cleanly severed prior to continuing with the excavation, or tunneled around to prevent damage to the root. 1 K. Tree roots shall not be exposed to drying out. Root ends shall be covered with native soil or burlap and kept moist until final backfill or final grades has been established. L. When deemed appropriate (e.g., during periods of drought) the City representative may 1 require a temporary irrigation system be utilized in the remaining critical root zones of root pruned trees. M. When underground utility lines are to be installed within the critical root zone, the root pruning requirement may be waived if the lines are installed via tunneling or directional boring as opposed to open trenching. 62.3 PROPER TREE PRUNING A. All tree pruning and/or root pruning on existing trees to remain shall only be performed by or 1 under the direct supervision of an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist. Furthermore, all tree work shall conform to the American National Standards 1 Institute (ANSI) 2001, American National Standard for tree care operations — Tree, Shrub and other Woody Plant Maintenance — Standard practices (pruning) ANSI A -300. Section IV.doc Page 125 of 128 5/15/2012 1 Section IV — Technical Specifications B. Proper pruning techniques for all lateral branches of protected trees are required. Flush cuts (pruning cuts that remove the branch collar) and stub cuts (cuts that leave a stub on the tree) are improper techniques. Any protected tree that has been improperly pruned will not be recognized as a tree left on the project in a healthy growing condition, and will require replacement consistent with the current City Codes and Ordinances. C. No protected tree shall have more than 30 percent of its foliage removed. D. No protected tree shall be topped, hat racked or lion - tailed. Any protected tree that has been improperly pruned will not be recognized as a tree left on the project in a healthy growing condition, and will require replacement consistent with the current City Codes and Ordinances.

As required within the General Conditions, the Contractor shall submit a critical 20 path progress schedule as described herein. The schedule shall take into 21 considerations all work phasing and restrictions as specified elsewhere in the 22 Contract Documents. 23 24 B. The critical path progress schedule requirement will consist of a detailed 25 schedule, monthly status reports (Monthly Reports), a start-up schedule, and 26 revisions to the schedules and analyses as described. The planning, 27 scheduling, management and execution of the work are the sole 28 responsibilities of the Contractor. The progress schedule shall allow Engineer 29 to review Contractor's planning, scheduling, management and execution of the 30 work; to assist Engineer in evaluating work progress and make progress 31 payments; to allow other contractors to cooperate and coordinate their 32 activities with those of the Contractor; and to provide Owner with information 33 about "construction schedule" and "cumulative outlay schedule." 34 35 C. Engineer's review of the schedule submittals shall not relieve Contractor from 36 responsibility for any deviations from the Contract Documents unless 37 Contractor has in writing called Engineer's attention to such deviations at the 38 time of submission and Engineer has given written concurrence to the specific 39 deviations, nor shall any concurrence by Engineer relieve Contractor from 40 responsibility for errors and omissions in the submittals. 41 42 D. Float or slack time is not for the exclusive benefit of the Owner, the Engineer or 43 the Contractor. Extensions of time for performance, as specified in the 44 General Conditions, will be granted only to the extent that equitable time 45 adjustments for the network activity, or activities affected, exceed the total float 46 or slack time along the affected network paths, as shown in the precedence 47 diagram and computer printout report in effect at the instant of either (a) a CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310 -2 11/20/12 1 1 1 notice to proceed with a change, or (b) a notice of suspension of work or 2 possession, or (c) detection of a subsequently acknowledged differing site 3 condition, or (d) occurrence of cause for an excusable delay. Further, use of 4 float time in the schedule, or the allocation of float time to activities by means 5 6 of special logic restraints or imposed dates, shall be shared to the benefit of Owner, Engineer, Contractor, and his subcontractors and suppliers in 7 proportion of their scope of responsibilities. Excessive use of float time to the 8 detriment of succeeding activities may be cause for denying an extension of 9 time if it can be demonstrated that the float along the network paths affected at 10 the instant of the delaying condition would have been larger than the delay had 11 it not been for the excessive and unreasonable float usage in violation of the 12 sharing concept required by this Specification. 13 14 E. Engineer's review of the schedule submittals shall be only for conformance 15 with the information given in the Contract Documents and shall not extend to 16 the means, methods, sequences and techniques or procedures of construction 17 or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. Engineer's review of the 18 schedule submittals will be predicated on a Contractor's stamp of approval 19 signed off by Contractor. Contractor's stamp of approval on any schedule 20 submittals shall constitute a representation to Owner and Engineer that 21 Contractor, has either determined or verified all data on the submittal, or 22 assumes full responsibility for doing so, and that Contractor and his 23 subcontractors and suppliers have reviewed and coordinated the sequences 24 shown in the submittal with the requirements of the work under the Contract 25 Documents. 26 27 2.02 SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS 28 29 A. Graphic network diagrams shall be on a time - scaled precedence network 30 format. The graphic network diagram shall include the following format: 31 32 1.

Activities shall also identify 43 interface milestones with the work of other contract work under 44 separate contracts with Owner. 45 46 3. Any activities not shown on the graphic network diagram shall be 47 considered to have no effect on the Contractor's ability to achieve 1 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310 -3 11/20/12 1 substantial completion, or interim substantial completion, within the 2 Contract Time. Any delays to activities that do not appear in the 3 concurred detailed schedule shall give rise only to non - prejudicial 4 delays. Attempts to impose after - the -fact logic constraints where none 5 existed previously to justify time extensions will not be permitted. 6 7 4. Activity durations shall be in whole working days. 8 9 5. Graphic diagrams shall be time - scaled and sequenced by work areas. 10 The Diagram of Activities shall show numerical values for total float and 11 be shown on their early schedules. The diagram shall be neat and 12 legible and submitted on sheets no larger than 24 inches by 36 inches 13 on a medium suitable for reproduction. 14 15 B.

The re- submittal, if agreed to by the Owner, and unless 43 subsequently changed with the concurrence of or at the direction of Owner, 44 shall be the work plan to be used by the Contractor for planning, scheduling, 45 managing and executing the work. If Contractor fails to provide an acceptable 46 Detailed Schedule submittal, he will be deemed not to have provided a basis CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310 -4 11/20/12 1 1 1 1 upon which progress may be evaluated, which will further constitute reasons 2 for refusing to recommend payment. 3 4 B. The graphic diagram shall be formatted in accordance with Article 2.02(A) 5 above. The diagram shall include (1) all detailed activities grouped by major 6 areas of work. The critical path activities shall be identified, including critical 7 paths for interim dates, if applicable, by clearly highlighting the path on the 8 graphics diagram. 9 10 C.

The monthly Status Report shall include a revised copy of the currently 27 accepted graphic diagram, computer printouts and a narrative. The Monthly 28 Status Report will be reviewed by the Engineer. The Contractor will address 29 the Engineer's comments in the subsequent Monthly Status Report. If 30 Contractor fails to provide acceptable Monthly Status Reports, he will be 31 deemed not to have provided a basis upon which progress may be evaluated, 32 which will be reason for refusing to recommend progress payments. 33 34 B. The revised diagram shall show, for the currently accepted detailed diagram, 35 percentages of completion for all activities, actual start and finish dates, and 36 remaining durations, as appropriate. Activities not previously included in the 37 currently accepted detailed schedule shall be added, except that contractual 38 dates will not be changed except by Change Order. Review of a revised 39 diagram by the Engineer will not be construed to constitute concurrence with 40 the time frames, duration, or sequencing for such added activities; instead the 41 corresponding data as ultimately incorporated into an appropriate change 42 order shall govern. 43 44 C. The narrative shall include the information shown in the following outline in a 45 narrative form: 46 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310 -5 11/20/12 1 1.

This combination of codes is 25 assigned when a confirmation of the notations and comments is required by 26 the Contractor. The Contractor may release the equipment or material for 27 manufacture; however, all notations and comments must be incorporated 28 into the final product. This confirmation is to address the omissions and /or 29 nonconforming items that were noted. Only the items to be "confirmed" need 30 to be resubmitted. 31 32 "EXCEPTIONS AS NOTED /RESUBMIT." This combination of codes is 33 assigned when a resubmittal is required by the Contractor. The Contractor 34 may release a portion of the equipment or material for manufacture; 35 however, all notations and comments must be incorporated into the final 36 submittal. This resubmittal is to address the omissions and /or 37 nonconforming items that were noted. 38 39 "REJECTED. REVISE AS INDICATED AND RESUBMIT." This combination 40 of codes is assigned when the submittal is in noncompliance with the 41 Contract Documents and must be corrected and the entire package 42 resubmitted. This code generally means that the equipment or material 43 cannot be released for manufacture unless the Contractor takes full 44 responsibility for providing the submitted items in accordance with Contract 45 Documents. 46 SHOP DRAWINGS, WORKING DRAWINGS AND SAMPLES 01340 -6 11/20/12 r 1 1 1 "FOR YOUR INFORMATION" is assigned when the package provides 2 information of a general nature that may or may not require a response. 3 4 E.

A review of the information and drawings provided indicates that the proposed work, known as "Woodlawn Terrace Floodplain Storage ", requires permanent impacts to 0.21 acre (or 225 linear feet) of stream channel and temporary impacts to 0.02 acre of ditch. An in- stream weir structure with a crest elevation of 5.75 feet NAVD will divert low flows (up to a 1 "/24 -hour rainfall event) from Spring Branch into a proposed floodplain storage- wetland system. Stages above elevation 5.75 feet NAVD will crest over the proposed weir and be allowed to flow downstream as in the pre - development condition. The proposed floodplain storage basin will be approximately 1.5 acres in size at SHW (Elev. 5.75 feet NAVD), contain a sinuous low -flow channel, and be planted with approximately 3,600, 4" potted wetland plant species on 3 -foot centers between elevations 3.0 and 5.75 feet NAVD. This project will serve to mitigate increased flows to offsite waterways resulting from the increased pipe sizes of the Woodlawn Terrace Storm Sewer Replacement Project, which is intended to be constructed concurrent with or after this project. However, the project has been designed to provide a net increase in aquatic resource functions. The project is located on Spring Branch (a tributary of Stevenson Creek which flows into Clearwater Harbor of the Gulf of Mexico) west of Kings Highway and north of Sunset Point Road in the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida, in Section 3 of Township 29 South and Range 15 East (Latitude 27.991703 N; Longitude 82.780606 W).

WETLAND MITIGATION SUCCESS CRITERIA MITIGATION AREA (Storage Basin Area)(1.5 acres) Mitigation is expected to offset adverse impacts to wetlands and other surface waters caused by regulated activities and to achieve viable, sustainable ecological and hydrological wetland functions. Wetlands constructed for mitigation purposes will be considered successful and will be released from monitoring and reporting requirements when the following criteria are met continuously for a period of at least one year without intervention in the form of irrigation or the addition or removal of vegetation. a. The mitigation area can reasonably be expected to develop into a freshwater marsh (FLUCCS 641) as determined by the Florida Land Use and Cover and Forms Classification System (third edition* January 1999). b. Topography, water depth and water level fluctuation in the mitigation area are characteristic of the wetlands /surface water type specified in criterion "a." c. Planted or recruited herbaceous or shrub species (or plant species providing the same function) shall meet the criteria specified one year after planting: Zone: A Percent Cover: 50% Species: Spartina baked Zone: B Percent Cover: 50% Species: Canna flaccida, Juncus effusus, Eleocharis cellulose, Pontederia cordata Zone: C Percent Cover: 50% Species: Sagitaria lancifolia, Scirpus califomicus, Thalia geniculata d. Species composition of recruiting wetland vegetation is indicative of the wetland type specified in criterion "a." e. The wetland mitigation area can be determined to be a wetland or other surface water according to Chapter 62 -340, F.A.C. f. The planted wetland vegetation will maintain an 85% overall survivability after one year. The mitigation area may be released from monitoring and reporting requirements and be deemed successful at any time during the monitoring period if the Permittee demonstrates that the conditions in the mitigation area have adequately replaced the wetland and surface water functions affected by the regulated activity and that the site conditions are sustainable. 7. The Permittee shall monitor and maintain the wetland mitigation area until the criteria set forth in the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions above are met. The Permittee shall perform corrective actions identified by the District if the District identifies a wetland mitigation deficiency. 8. A Wetland Mitigation Completion Report shall be submitted to the District within 30 days of completing construction and planting of the wetland mitigation area. Upon District inspection and approval of the mitigation area, the monitoring program shall be initiated with the date of the District field inspection being the construction completion date of the mitigation area. Monitoring events shall occur between March 1 and November 30 of each year. An Annual Wetland Monitoring Report shall be submitted upon the anniversary date of District approval to initiate monitoring. Annual reports shall provide documentation that a sufficient number of maintenance inspection /activities were conducted to maintain the mitigation area in compliance according to the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Condition above. Note that the performance of maintenance inspections and maintenance activities will normally need to be conducted more frequently than the collection of other monitoring data to maintain the mitigation area(s) in compliance with the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Condition(s) above. Monitoring Data shall be collected annually. 9. Termination of monitoring for the wetland mitigation area shall be coordinated with the District by: a. notifying the District in writing when the criteria set forth in the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Condition have been achieved; b. submitting documentation, including the date, that all maintenance activities in the wetland mitigation area have been suspended including, but not limited to, irrigation and addition or removal of vegetation; and c. submitting a monitoring report to the District one year following the written notification and suspension of maintenance activities. Upon receipt of the monitoring report, the District will evaluate the wetland mitigation site to determine if the Mitigation Success Criteria Condition have been met and maintained. The District will notify the Permittee in writing of the evaluation results. The Permittee shall perform corrective actions for any portions of the wetland mitigation area that fail to maintain the criteria set forth in the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Condition. 10. The Permittee shall, prior to beneficial use of the site, complete all aspects of the mitigation plan, including the grading, mulching, and planting, in accordance with the design details in the final approved construction drawings. 11. The Permittee shall commence construction of the mitigation area within 30 days of wetland impacts, if wetland impacts occur between February 1 and August 31. If wetland impacts occur between September 1 and January 31, construction of the mitigation area shall commence by March 1. In either case, construction of the mitigation area shall be completed within 120 days of the commencement date unless a time extension is approved in writing by the District. 12. The following boundaries, as shown on the approved construction drawings, shall be clearly delineated on the site prior to initial clearing or grading activities: wetland and surface water areas wetland buffers limits of approved wetland impacts The delineation shall endure throughout the construction period and be readily discernible to construction and District personnel. 13. If limestone bedrock is encountered during construction of the surface water management system, the District must be notified and construction in the affected area shall cease. 14. The Permittee shall notify the District of any sinkhole development in the surface water management system within 48 hours of discovery and must submit a detailed sinkhole evaluation and repair plan for approval by the District within 30 days of discovery. 15. The District, upon prior notice to the Permittee, may conduct on -site inspections to assess the effectiveness of the erosion control barriers and other measures employed to prevent violations of state water quality standards and avoid downstream impacts. Such barriers or other measures should control discharges, erosion, and sediment transport during construction and thereafter. The District will also determine any potential environmental problems that may develop as a result of leaving or removing the barriers and other measures during construction or after construction of the project has been completed. The Permittee must provide any remedial measures that are needed. 16. This permit is issued based upon the design prepared by the Permittee's consultant. If at any time it is determined by the District that the Conditions for Issuance of Permits in Rules 40D -4.301 and 40D- 4.302, F.A.C., have not been met, upon written notice by the District, the Permittee shall obtain a permit modification and perform any construction necessary thereunder to correct any deficiencies in the system design or construction to meet District rule criteria. The Permittee is advised that the correction of deficiencies may require re- construction of the surface water management system. 17. The Permitted Plan Set for this project includes the set received by the District on November 16, 2012. 18. Construction is prohibited until the District receives a copy of the final recorded and signed easement agreement authorizing the offsite construction to the immediate west of the project. 19. If prehistoric or historic artifacts, such as pottery or ceramics, stone tools or metal implements, or any other physical remains that could be associated with Native American cultures, or early colonial or American settlement are encountered at any time within the project site area, the permitted project should cease all activities involving subsurface disturbance in the immediate vicinity of such discoveries. The Permittee, or other designee, should contact the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, Review and Compliance Section at (850) 245 -6333 or (800) 847 -7278, as well as the appropriate permitting agency office.

This study was conducted in accordance with our written proposal for these services dated February 20, 2009, PSI Proposal No. 775- 9G0045. 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION PSI previously performed geotechnical studies at this site. The results were issued in a report dated December 5, 2008 (PSI Project No. 787 - 851'37). In the previous study performed, we encountered unsuitable soil in boring B -7 at the southwest corner of the property, within the proposed pond. The unsuitable soil included the presence of old fill and debris material in the upper 2 feet and organic peat from a depth of 4 to 6 feet. Our report recommended that any material similar to this across the site be removed, and that the site should be further explored to delineate the extent of the buried debris and organics. Project Information was provided by Steven Jones of Civil Design Associates, Inc. We understand the area where the test pit exploration was performed is being considered as a pond location.

The subsurface materials encountered were then evaluated with respect to the available project characteristics. In this regard, engineering assessments of the following items have been formulated: 1. Composition and concentration of buried debris at the location of the proposed stormwater pond. 2. Recommendations regarding the impact of buried debris on this project. The following services have been provided in order to achieve the preceding objectives: 1 Executed a program of subsurface exploration consisting of subsurface sampling and field testing. We performed thirteen (13) test pits across the site of the proposed stormwater pond. Each test pit was extended to a depth ranging from 7 to 8 feet below the existing ground surface. Each pit was logged and photographed by a PSI technician. Test pits were then backfilled with the excavated soil. 2. Visually classified the samples in the laboratory using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Identified soil conditions at each test pit location and formed an opinion of the site soil stratigraphy. 3. Collected groundwater level measurements and estimated normal wet seasonal high water tables. 4. Prepared this formal engineering report which summarizes the course of study pursued, the field data generated, subsurface conditions encountered and our engineering recommendations in each of the pertinent topic areas. The scope of our services did not include an environmental assessment for determining the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, bedrock, groundwater, or air, on or below or around this site. Any statements in this report or on the boring log regarding odors, colors, unusual or suspicious items or conditions are strictly for the information of our client. 2.0 SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 2.1 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The site is located in Section 3, Township 29 South, Range 15 East in Pinellas County, Florida. Based on the "Clearwater, Florida" United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map, the ground surface elevation at the subject property is approximately +10 to +20 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 1929. The project site is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Kings Highway and Sunset Point Road in Clearwater, Florida. Presently, the pond site consists of an undeveloped grassy parcel with a chain link fence bordering the north, south and west - boundaries of the property. 2.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS To determine and delineate the extent of the unsuitable materials, we performed a test pit exploration across the site of the proposed stormwater pond. The test pits were perfomed along a grid that was divided into 50' east -west by 75' north -south subsections. The subsurface conditions were explored using thirteen (13) test pits advanced to depths ranging from 7 to 8 feet below the existing ground surface. Due to the level of ground water at the time of exploration the pits could not be excavated any deeper than 8 feet due to cave in at the sides of the pits. Test pits were advanced using a backhoe. PSI personnel performed the test pits and logged the soils. Test pit depths and locations were chosen by PSI. The approximate test pit locations are presented on the attached Sheet 1. Generally, the test pits uncovered fill soils containing variable sands /slightly silty sands with buried debris and organic peat (PT) from ground surface to depths as great as 7 feet below the surface. The uncovered buried debris consisted mostly of concrete, rebar, asphalt, brick, ceramics, plastic, wood and glass debris; In one instance at test pit location TP -1, a piece of concrete was encountered that was approximately 8 inches thick and 6 x 3 feet. In most case the size of debris encountered was not larger than 1 square foot. Below the fill debris and organic peat soils we encountered fine sand to slightly silty fine sands (SP /SP -SM) to the terminal depth of the test pit. Please see the attached table for detailed subsurface conditions at each of the test pit location. Specific information at individual test pit locations at this site is presented in Appendix A. The stratifications shown on the test pit logs represent the conditions only at the actual sample locations. The stratifications represent the approximate boundary between subsurface materials and the actual transition may be gradual. Selected photographs documenting the materials uncovered during the test pit excavations are presented in Appendix B. Approximate test pit locations are presented on Sheet 1. 2.3 GROUNDWATER iNFORMATION The groundwater level was encountered at a depth of approximately 7 feet across the site. It should be noted that groundwater levels tend to fluctuate during periods of prolonged drought and extended rainfall and may be affected by manmade influences. In addition, a seasonal effect will also occur in which higher groundwater levels are normally recorded in rainy seasons. In this regard, it is estimated that the seasonal high groundwater table (SHGWT) within the area of the proposed stormwater pond is at a depth of approximately 4 to 41/2 feet. In general, the estimated seasonal high groundwater level is not intended to define a limit or ensure that future seasonal fluctuations in groundwater levels will not exceed the estimated levels. Groundwater levels could exceed the estimated seasonal high groundwater levels as a result of a series of rainfall events, changed co. nditions at the site that alter surface water drainage characteristics, and /or variations in duration, intensity, or total volume of rainfall. 3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 GENERAL The subsurface conditions encountered indicate buried debris consisting mostly of construction debris including concrete, rebar, brick and asphalt with minimal amounts of house hold items including glass bottles and plastic. According to the City of Clearwater, 112717 there were concerns that the site may have been used as a landfill/dump site in past years. From a purely geotechnical perspective, a pond could be safely constructed and could also effectively store or infiltrate water at this location. However, environmental considerations could have a major impact upon project costs and must be completely evaluated prior to planning and construction of the project. Certainly, screening out the debris from the soil matrix, and sorting and disposing of the debris will result in significant additional costs. Subject to the results of an environmental evaluation, regulatory agencies will require the placement of a liner in any pond to prevent contaminants from leaching from the soils and impacting the underlying groundwater, or to prevent a contaminant plume from migrating from the introduction of water in the area of the plume. Installation of a liner, if required, adds significant cost to any ponds being considered. Since environmental issues are expected to have the major impact upon the design of this project, PSI recommends further geotechnical recommendation be performed once environmental studies are complete and design constraints and features are fully known. 4.0 REPORT LIMITATIONS The Geotechnical Engineer warrants that the findings, recommendations, specifications, or professional advice contained herein have been made in accordance with generally accepted professional geotechnical engineering practices in the local area.

Project Manager RE: Report of the Geotechnical Investigation Woodlawn Terrace Floodplain Storage Idlewild Area Sunset Point Road Clearwater, Florida Our File: DES 116775 Dear Mrs. Bartholomew: July 5, 2012 Pursuant to your request and authorization, DRIGGERS ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. has completed a series of exploratory borings for the subject project. Presented herein are the results of our field and laboratory testing. You will note that the report herein is relative to the geotechnical engineering properties of the soils. The study herein does not include any environmental related assessments. FIELD INVESTIGATION PROGRAM Borings were conducted within the proposed pond area as well as the potential weir location. The locations of the borings are depicted on Plate I of the report attachments. You will note that the actual boring locations were field located by King Engineering Associates after the borings were conducted. The ground surface elevations were also provided to us at each boring location. The Standard Penetration method of sampling and testing (ASTM D1586) was utilized to provide soil samples for visual classification and laboratory testing. Logs of the borings are presented in the attachments indicating visual and estimated Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) as well as - Sarasota Clearwater - Tampa: - Phone: 941.371.3949 P.O.

A brief description of the Standard Penetration test method of sampling is presented in the report attachments for your review. POND AREA BORINGS - Three (3) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings (PB -1 through PB- 3) were requested and conducted within the planned pond area. Please refer to Plate I of the attachments for the location of the borings. The borings were advanced to a nominal depth of 20 feet below present grade. WEIR STRUCTURE BORINGS - An SPT boring was also positioned on either side of the creek (B -1 and B -2) presumably within the approximate area of the proposed weir structure. These borings were advanced to a nominal depth of 30 feet below grade. LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM A limited laboratory classification testing program was undertaken to aid in characterizing the engineering properties of the subsurface soils. Our laboratory tests included seven (7) grainsize analyses, two (2) organic content tests and one (1) Atterberg liquid limit and plastic limit determination. The results of our laboratory tests are included in the report attachments. Also included are the graphical depictions of the individual grainsize analyses. GENERALIZED SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS SOIL CONDITIONS - The majority of the site grades within the proposed pond area are between about EL +12 feet and EL +13 feet. Below the surficial vegetation, the borings identified predominantly gray and brown fine sands with trace silt fines content to depths of 20 feet or more below present grade. In general, these upper sands are represented by the SP to SP -SM Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and AASHTO A -3 designations with some silty sand (SM or A -2 -4) seams noted. Your attention, however, is directed to the thin layer of highly organic silty sand to sandy silt identified in both PB -1 and PB -3. This layer may represent the previous ground surface prior to probable on -site filling. In fact, the cemented fragments noted in the upper soils at PB -1 as well as the sands with clayey fine sand pockets at PB -3 would suggest some minor site filling may have occurred. Below the upper 18 feet at B -1, a grayish -brown clayey sand (SC or A -2 -6) was sampled to the surface of a green clay unit beginning about 23 feet below grade. The clay unit continued to near the termination depth of the boring where the surface of the limestone formation was penetrated. Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated 3 Standard Penetration resistance data suggests a very loose to loose relative density within the upper 15 to 20 feet. The sands and clayey sands below these depths indicate a medium dense relative density. The clay unit, where encountered, was generally considered firm. GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS - The current investigation took place during a period of minimal rainfall prior to the onset of the rainy season. Typically groundwater was identified within the proposed pond area at depths ranging from about 6 to 7 feet below grade or at elevations ranging from above EL +5.2± feet to EL + 5.9± feet (NAVD 88). Groundwater levels at the borings adjacent to the creek were slightly lower in elevation (1 foot, or less). Review of the maps published by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) indicates Basinger Soils within the general limits of the pond borings. Basinger soils are typically identified in localized depressed areas and are characterized with surficial highly organic soils (muck) followed by fine sands. Normal season high groundwater levels within these soil types are from 0 to 12 inches below the ground surface. You will note that the soil types present, particularly at PB -1 and PB -3 indicate some fill was likely placed historically and the highly organic soils noted 2 to 4 feet below grade may represent the previous ground surface prior to site filling. Therefore, based on this information coupled with current groundwater conditions, we would anticipate a normal seasonal high groundwater level to occur about 3 feet below present grade at the pond borings or at about EL +9 feet (NAVD 88). Confirmation of potential seasonal fluctuations would necessitate installation of shallow piezometers followed by monitoring during the upcoming wet season. Based on information published by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, the piezometric surface within the underlying Floridan Aquifer probably occurs near EL +5 to EL +10 feet (NGVD) during the wet season. GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION BORROW SOIL CHARACTERISTICS - With the exception of the thin zone of highly organic soils identified within a couple of borings, the borings sampled predominantly_ gray and brown fine sands and slightly silty fine sands to a depth of about 20 feet or more below grade. The fine sands and slightly silty sands comprising the SP to SP -SM Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) designation and A -3 AASHTO classification would be considered more select materials for use as potential fill in structure or paved areas. The highly organic soils representing the Pt or A -8 Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated 4 designation would not be considered suitable for placement within structure or pavement areas. These soils would need to be placed within green space or could possibly be blended with the sands above and below so as to produce a mix possessing a fines content of 35 %, or less, a liquid limit of 35, or less and a plasticity index not . in excess of 15 as well as an organic content of no more than 5%, by weight. The ability to successfully blend these materials is sensitive to weather and moisture contents that exist in the subgrade soils at the time of construction as well as the contractor's ways and means. Of course, the acceptability of the characteristics of the blended mixture will depend on specific project specification requirements. Soils excavated below the pre - construction groundwater table may occur in an elevated moisture content even with the utilization of dewatering. These soils will typically require aeration or adjustment to the moisture contents to facilitate placement and compaction. Soils containing modest silt and even trace amounts of organic fines tend to be weather sensitive and thus, will require additional consideration with regards to earthwork management to control moisture contents to levels suitable for placement and compaction. We would suggest that the moisture contents be controlled within ±2% of the optimum moisture content as established by the Modified Proctor moisture density relationship of AASHTO T -180. WEIR STRUCTURE - It is our understanding that the weir structure is currently being designed. Accordingly, details of the type of weir and final weir location were not available as of the time of this writing. However, it is contemplated that the weir structure may incorporate sheet piling. Therefore, we have provided a table of soil strength design parameters for potential sheet pilling at each of the weir structure borings. Should the final location of the weir be positioned a significant distance from the borings conducted, additional borings will be warranted.

A viscous drilling fluid is circulated through the drill rods and bit to stabilize the borehole and to assist in removal of soil and rock cuttings up and out of the borehole. Upon reaching the desired test depth, the 2 inch O.D. split - barrel sampler or "split- spoon ", as it is sometimes called, is attached to an N -size drill rod and lowered to the bottom of the borehole. A 140 pound hammer, attached to the drill string at the ground surface, is then used to drive the sampler into the formation. The hammer is successively raised and dropped for a distance of 30 inches using a rope and "cathead" assembly. The number of blows is recorded for each 6 inch interval of penetration or until virtual refusal is achieved. In the above manner, the samples are ideally advanced a total of 18 inches. The sum of the blows required to effect the final 12 inches of penetration is called the blowcount, penetration resistance or "N" value of the particular material at the sample depth. After penetration, the rods and sampler are retracted to the ground surface where the core sample is removed, sealed in a glass jar and transported to the laboratory for verification of field classification and storage. SOIL SYMBOLS AND CLASSIFICATION Soil and rock samples secured in the field sampling operation were visually classified as to texture, color and consistency. The Unified Soil Classification was assigned to each soil stratum per ASTM D -2487. Soil classifications are presented descriptively and symbolically for ease of interpretation. The stratum identification lines represent the approximate boundary between soil types. In many cases, this transition may be gradual. Consistency of the soil as to relative density or undrained shear strength, unless otherwise noted, is based upon Standard Penetration resistance values of "N" values and industry- accepted standards. "N" values, or blowcounts, are presented in both tabular and graphical form on each respective boring log at each sample interval. The graphical plot of blowcount versus depth is for illustration purposes only and does not warrant continuity in soil consistency or linear variation between sample intervals. The borings represent subsurface conditions at respective boring locations and sample intervals only. Variations in- subsurface conditions may occur between boring locations. Groundwater depths shown represent water depths at the dates and time shown only. The absence of water table information does not necessarily imply that groundwater was not encountered.
