OTHER WORK 7.1. RELATED WORK AT SITE The City reserves the right to have its own forces enter the construction site at any time and perform work as necessary in order to perform infrastructure repair or maintenance, whether related to the project or not. The Contractor will allow complete access to all utility owners for these purposes. The City may have its own forces perform new work related to the project, however, this work will be identified in the Contract Scope of Work and coordination will be such that this activity is denoted in the Contractor's CPM Schedule so as not to cause any delays or interference with the Contractor's work or schedule. 7.2. COORDINATION If the Owner contracts with others for the performance of other work on the Project at the site, the following will be set forth in the Scope of Work: (i) the person who will have authority and responsibility for coordination of the activities among the various prime contractors will be identified; (ii) the specific matters to be covered by such authority and responsibility will be itemized; and (iii) the extent of such authority and responsibilities will be provided.

The Owner will not be responsible for Contractor's failure to perform or furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 9. OWNER REPRESENTATIVE'S STATUS DURING CONSTRUCTION 9.1. OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE Dependent of the project type, the Owner's Representative during the construction period will either be the Construction Manager, the Engineer, or a designee of the Project's Owner. The duties, responsibilities and the limitations of authority of Owner's Representative during construction are set forth in the Contract Documents and shall not be extended without written consent of Owner and Engineer. 9.2. CLARIFICATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS Engineer will issue with reasonable promptness such written clarifications or interpretations of the requirements of the Contract Documents regarding design issues only, in the form of Submittal responses, RFI responses, Drawings or otherwise, as Engineer may determine necessary, which shall be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from Contract Documents. All other clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents shall be issued form the Owner's Representative. Such written clarifications and interpretations will be binding on the Owner and Contractor. If Contractor believes that a written clarification or interpretation justifies an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time and the parties are unable to agree to the amount or extent thereof, if any, Contractor may make a written claim therefore as provided in the Articles for Change of Work and Change of Contract Time. SECTION III Page 26 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 9.3. REJECTING OF DEFECTIVE WORK The Owner's Representative or the Engineer will have authority to disapprove or reject Work which Owner's Representative or the Engineer believes to be defective, or that Owner's Representative or the Engineer believes will not produce a completed Project that conforms to the Contract Documents or that will prejudice the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Documents. The Owner's Representative or the Engineer will also have authority to require special inspection or testing of the Work whether or not the Work is fabricated, installed or completed. 9.4. SHOP DRAWINGS, CHANGE ORDERS, AND PAYMENTS In connection with Engineer's authority as to Shop Drawings and Samples, see articles on Shop Drawings and Samples.

In connection with Owner's Representative authority as to Applications for Payment, see the articles on Payments to Contractor and Completion. 9.5. DECISIONS ON DISPUTES The Owner's Representative will be the initial interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents and judge of the acceptability of the work thereunder. Claims, disputes and other matters relating to the acceptability of the work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the performance and furnishing of the work and Claims under the Articles for Changes of Work, Changes of Contract Time and Changes of Contract Price will be referred initially to Owner's Representative in writing with a request for a formal decision in accordance with this paragraph. Written notice of each such claim, dispute or other matter will be delivered by the claimant to Owner's Representative and the other party to the Agreement promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the start of the occurrence or event giving rise thereto, and written supporting data will be submitted to Owner's Representative and the other party within sixty (60) days after the start of such occurrence or event unless Owner's Representative allows an additional period of time for the submission of additional or more accurate data in support of such claim, dispute or other matter. The opposing party shall submit any response to Owner's Representative and the claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt 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 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. SECTION III Page 27 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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. 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. SECTION III Page 28 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — 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 I3ond 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) 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 SECTION III Page 29 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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. 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 SECTION III Page 30 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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. 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 SECTION III Page 31 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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 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, SECTION III Page 32 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION 111— General Conditions 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 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 SECTION III Page 33 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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 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 SECTION III Page 34 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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 once 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 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 SECTION III Page 35 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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. 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 SECTION III Page 36 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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. 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. SECTION III Page 37 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 SECTION III — General Conditions 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.

Prior to application for final payment, Contractor shall clean and remove from the premises all surplus and discarded materials, rubbish, and temporary structures, and shall restore in an acceptable manner all property, both public and private, which has been damaged during the prosecution of the Work, and shall leave the Work in a neat and presentable condition. 14.7. FINAL PAYMENT AND ACCEPTANCE If through no fault of Contractor, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and if Owner's Representative so confirms, the Owner shall, upon receipt of Contractor's final Application for payment and recommendation of Owner's Representative, and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by the Owner for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by Contractor to Owner's Representative with the Application for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of claims. If on the basis of Owner Representative's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and Owner Representative's review of the 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 SECTION III Page 38 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016 r ' SECTION III—General Conditions 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. t 15.

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 MAY STOP WORK OR TERMINATE If, through no act or fault of Contractor, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety (90) days by the Owner or under an order of court or other public authority, or the Owner's Representative fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is submitted or the Owner fails for thirty (30) days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, then Contractor may, upon seven (7) days' written notice to the Owner and Owner's Representative, and provided the Owner or Owner's Representative does not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from the Owner payment on the same terms as provided in the article for the Owner May Terminate. However, if the Work is suspended under an order of court through no fault of Owner, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment except as the Court may direct. In lieu of terminating the Agreement and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if Owner's Representative has failed to act on an Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is submitted, or the Owner has failed for thirty (30) days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, Contractor may upon seven (7) days' written notice to the Owner and Owner's Representative stop the Work until payment of all such amounts due Contractor.

SECTION IV Page 10 of 106 Updated 2/11/2016 SECTION IV—Technical Specifications 200 SERIES: SITEWORK 201. 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 their Competent Person to City staff at the start of construction. City staff is 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, is 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 to 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 construction quantities, if any, contained in the bid proposal for this contract do 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 four hundred feet (400') 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 a minimum of six inches (6") wider on each side than the greatest external horizontal width of the pipe or conduit, including hubs, intended to be laid in them. The bottom of the trench under each pipe joint shall be slightly hollowed, to allow the body of the pipe to rest throughout its length. In case a trench is excavated at any place, excepting at joints, below the grade of its bottom as given, or directed by the Engineer, the filling and compaction to grade shall be done in such manner as the Engineer shall direct, without compensation. SECTION IV Page 11 of 106 Updated 2/11/2016 SECTION IV — Technical Specifications 202. 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. 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. Contractor shall consult Inspector for the approved means. 203. DEWATERING 203-1. GENERAL Unless specifically authorized by the Engineer, all pipe, except subdrains, shall be laid "in the dry". The Contractor shall dewater trench excavation as required for the proper execution of the work, using one or more of the following approved methods: well point system, trenched gravity underdrain system, or sumps with pumps. Well point systems must be efficient enough to lower the water level in advance of the excavation and maintain it continuously in order that the trench bottom and sides shall remain firm and reasonably dry. The well points shall be designed especially for this type of service, and the pumping unit used shall be capable of maintaining a high vacuum, and at the same time, of handling large volumes of air as well as of water. The Contractor shall be responsible for disposing of all water resulting from trench dewatering operations, and shall dispose of the water without damage or undue inconvenience to the work, the surrounding area, or the general public. Contractor shall not dam, divert, or cause water to flow in excess in existing gutters, pavements or other structures: and to do this Contractor may be required to divert the water to a suitable place of discharge as may be determined by the Engineer. Where possible, Contractor may contain produced groundwater on the project site, a dewatering plan must be submitted to the City for approval if a discharge permit is not obtained or required. The cost of dewatering shall be included in the unit price bid per linear foot of pipe, or, in the case of other underground structures, in the cost of such structures. 203-2. PERMIT REQUIREMENTS 203-2.1. DEWATERING DISCHARGE The Contractor shall be responsible for submitting the Notice of Intent to use the Generic Permit for the Discharge of Groundwater from Dewatering Operations and associated fee in accordance with Florida DEP Requirements, F.A.C. 62-621.300(2)(b) prior to discharging of produced groundwater into the City's streets, storm sewers or waterways. Prior to construction, a dewatering plan must be prepared and submitted to the City for review. It shall include site-specific notes and details presenting the Contractor's proposed dewatering and disposal methods. The City will field -inspect the dewatering operation throughout construction.

MATERIALS AND GENERAL Material for backfill other than under Gabion mattress shall be carefully selected from the excavated material or from other sources as may be required by the Engineer. Such material shall be granular, free from clay, muck, organic matter or debris, contain no rocks or other hard fragments greater than three inches (3") in the largest dimension and all fill shall be similar material. Material for backfill under Gabion mattress shall be an A-1 soil meeting AASHTO M145. Backfill shall be carried up evenly in layer not exceeding eight inches (8") in thickness and shall be compacted into place by mechanical tamping before the next layer is applied. A hydro - hammer shall not be used for compaction. Backfill placed around pipes shall be carefully placed around the sides and top of pipe by hand shovels and thoroughly compacted to twelve inches (12") above the pipe by tamping or other suitable means. For backfill in small areas that do not permit any type of tamping, Contractor may use flowable fill to achieve required density. Flowable fill shall adhere to Section 121 of FDOT specifications. Where wet conditions are such that dewatering by normal pumping methods would not be effective, as determined by the Engineer, Contractor may use #57 stone (meeting FDOT's specifications) and hand tamping until backfill has reached an elevation and condition such as to make the use of the mechanical tampers practical. Fully wrap the stones with a layer of Type D filter fabric of FDOT Index 199. Do not place stones within four feet (4') of the ends of trench or ditch; use normally accepted backfill material at the ends. Where new cast -in-place concrete work is performed, do not place backfill until the specified twenty-eight (28) days compressive strength occurs. Do not allow heavy construction equipment to cross over pipes or culverts until placing and compacting backfill material to the finished earthwork grade or to an elevation of at least four feet (4') above the top of the pipe or culvert. The cost of backfill, flowable fill, alternative approved material for wet conditions, and extra dewatering effort to achieve required density, etc., shall be included in the contract unit price or lump sum price for the item of the work specified. 304-2. TESTING AND INSPECTION Contractor shall employ and pay for the services of an independent testing laboratory, approved by the Owner, to perform density testing on backfilled material. All testing shall be witnessed by SECTION IV Page 19 of 106 Updated 2/11/2016 SECTION IV —Technical Specifications the Owner's Representative. The test shall be repeated until satisfactory results are obtained. The Contractor shall be charged for all retests and re -inspection services. Backfill under all type of impervious areas and around structures: Backfill in these areas shall be compacted to a minimum of 98% Modified Proctor Test in accordance with ASTM D 1557 or ASSHTO T 180. Tests shall be performed up to the proposed bottom of pavement elevation. Backfill outside of impervious areas: Backfill in these areas shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% Standard Proctor Test in accordance with ASTM D-698 or AASHTO T-99. Tests shall be performed up to the proposed finished grade. Backfill Testing: The Contractor shall demonstrate the adequacy of backfill compaction by performing density testing. For each test location, density testing shall be performed at eight inch (8") lifts. The character of the backfill material will be observed during the excavation for density testing to determine conformance with the specifications. Density testing shall be performed using nuclear field density equipment or conventional weight -volume methods. If the weight -volume method is used, volume shall be determined by using the sand replacement test (ASTM D 1556) or liquid displacement methods (ASTM D 2167). If nuclear methods are used, the trench correction effect shall be accounted for by recalibrating the nuclear gauge on its calibration block at the location of each test prior to taking the density measurement. The Contractor shall furnish all equipment, tools, and labor to prepare the test site for testing. Normal Testing Frequency: One test shall be performed for each one hundred feet (100') of backfill or fraction thereof or for each single run of pipe/culvert connecting two (2) successive structures whichever is less. The location of the test within each section shall be selected by the Owner's Representative. Testing shall progress as each one hundred foot (100') section is completed. Four (4) tests equally spaced around each structure shall be performed on each eight inch (8") lift. Testing which indicates that unacceptable material has been incorporated into the backfill, or that insufficient compaction is being obtained shall be followed by expanded testing to determine the limits of the unacceptable backfill. Expanded Testing Requirements: If normal testing within a testing section indicates unacceptable backfill, the Owner's Representative may require additional testing within the same test section to determine the limits of unacceptable backfill. Additional testing required by the Owner's Representative shall be paid for by the Contractor and shall not exceed testing of four (4) additional locations within the test section. Unacceptable backfill within the limits established by the testing shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner. Additional testing beyond that required may be performed by the Contractor at his expense to further delineate limits of unacceptable backfill. 305. RIPRAP The work included in this specification includes the construction of riprap as shown on the plans. The riprap shall be constructed per Section 530 of FDOT's Standard Specifications. 305-1.

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. 910-2. 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 construction activities shall be pruned to a minimum depth of eighteen inches (18") below existing grade or to the depth of the proposed impact if less than eighteen inches (18") from existing grade.

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 (10") per one inch (1") of the trunk diameter from the tree base. Any exception must be approved by the City's representative prior to said 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 eighteen inches (18") from existing grade, or to the depth of the disturbance if less than eighteen inches (18"). H. Root pruning shall be performed using a root cutting machine specifically designed for this purpose. Alternate equipment or techniques must be approved by the City's representative, prior to any work adjacent to trees to be preserved. 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 roots. Roots must first be cleanly severed prior to continuing with the excavation, or tunneled around to prevent damage to the root. 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 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. 910-3. PROPER TREE PRUNING A. All tree pruning and/or root pruning on existing trees to remain shall only be performed by or under the direct supervision of an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist. Furthermore, all tree work shall conform to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 2001, American National Standard for tree care operations — Tree, Shrub and other Woody Plant Maintenance — Standard practices (pruning) ANSI A-300. 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 Code of Ordinances and Community Development Code. C. No protected tree shall have more than thirty percent (30%) of its foliage removed. SECTION IV Page 105 of 106 Updated 2/11/2016 SECTION IV — Technical Specifications 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 Code of Ordinances and Community Development Code. E. Tree Trunks and limbs shall be protected. The use of tree spikes or other devices that damage trunk and bark tissue on protected trees shall be prohibited. Any protected tree that has been damaged in such a manner 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 Code of Ordinances and Community Development Code.

Construction under this contract must be coordinated to assure that 10 construction is completed within the time allowed by the Contract Documents. 11 The Contractor will also coordinate his activities with the other contractors to 12 allow orderly and timely completion of all the work. 13 14 B. All construction schedules shall be of the critical path method, bar chart type, 15 and shall be prepared using Microsoft Project or equal. 16 17 1.02 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULING GENERAL PROVISIONS 18 19 A. Within 15 calendar days after the issuance of the Notice of Award, the 20 Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Engineer a preliminary construction 21 progress schedule. The schedule shall contain a sufficient number of tasks 22 such that no single task has a value that exceeds 1.5% of the total Contract 23 Amount. Partial payments will not be approved until an acceptable 24 construction progress schedule has been approved by the Engineer. 25 26 B. The schedule shall be updated monthly reflecting the approved baseline 27 schedule and the Contractor's progress on each activity. No progress 28 payment will be approved until the updated schedule is submitted and 29 approved by the Engineer. 30 31 C. Night work may be established by the Contractor as regular procedure only 32 with the prior written permission of the Owner. Such permission, however, 33 may be revoked at any time by the Owner if the Contractor fails to maintain 34 adequate equipment and supervision for the proper execution and control of 35 the work at night. 36 37 D. The Contractor shall designate an authorized representative of his firm who 38 shall be responsible for development and maintenance of the schedule and of 39 progress and payment reports. This representative of the Contractor shall 40 have direct project control and complete authority to act on behalf of the 41 Contractor in fulfilling the commitments of the Contractor's schedule. 42 43 1.03 PROGRESS OF THE WORK 44 45 A. The work shall be executed with such progress as may be required to prevent 46 any delay to the general completion of the work. The work shall be executed 47 at such times and in or on such parts of the project, and with such forces, CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-1 01/22/16 1 materials and equipment to assure completion of the work in the time 2 established by the Contract. 3 4 B. If the Contractor for his convenience and at his own expense, should desire to 5 carry on his work at night or outside regular hours, he shall submit written 6 notice to the Engineer and he shall allow ample time for satisfactory 7 arrangements to be made for inspecting the work in progress. The Contractor 8 shall reimburse the Owner for extra inspection required for work outside 9 regular hours. The Contractor shall Tight the different parts of the project as 10 required to comply with all applicable Federal and State regulations and with 11 all applicable requirements of the municipality in which the work is being done. 12 13 PART 2 - PROGRESS SCHEDULE SUBMITTALS 14 15 2.01 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 16 17 A. As required within the General Conditions, the Contractor shall submit a critical 18 path progress schedule as described herein. The schedule shall take into 19 considerations all work phasing and restrictions as specified elsewhere in the 20 Contract Documents. 21 22 B. The critical path progress schedule requirement will consist of a detailed 23 schedule, monthly status reports (Monthly Reports), a start-up schedule, and 24 revisions to the schedules and analyses as described. The planning, 25 scheduling, management and execution of the work are the sole 26 responsibilities of the Contractor. The progress schedule shall allow Engineer 27 to review Contractor's planning, scheduling, management and execution of the 28 work; to assist Engineer in evaluating work progress and make progress 29 payments; to allow other contractors to cooperate and coordinate their 30 activities with those of the Contractor; and to provide Owner with information 31 about "construction schedule" and "cumulative outlay schedule." 32 33 C. Engineer's review of the schedule submittals shall not relieve Contractor from 34 responsibility for any deviations from the Contract Documents unless 35 Contractor has in writing called Engineer's attention to such deviations at the 36 time of submission and Engineer has given written concurrence to the specific 37 deviations, nor shall any concurrence by Engineer relieve Contractor from 38 responsibility for errors and omissions in the submittals. 39 40 D. Float or slack time is not for the exclusive benefit of the Owner, the Engineer or 41 the Contractor. Extensions of time for performance, as specified in the 42 General Conditions, will be granted only to the extent that equitable time 43 adjustments for the network activity, or activities affected, exceed the total float 44 or slack time along the affected network paths, as shown in the precedence 45 diagram and computer printout report in effect at the instant of either (a) a 46 notice to proceed with a change, or (b) a notice of suspension of work or 47 possession, or (c) detection of a subsequently acknowledged differing site CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-2 01/22/16 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 condition, or (d) occurrence of cause for an excusable delay. Further, use of 2 float time in the schedule, or the allocation of float time to activities by means 3 of special logic restraints or imposed dates, shall be shared to the benefit of 4 Owner, Engineer, Contractor, and his subcontractors and suppliers in 5 proportion of their scope of responsibilities. Excessive use of float time to the 6 detriment of succeeding activities may be cause for denying an extension of 7 time if it can be demonstrated that the float along the network paths affected at 8 the instant of the delaying condition would have been larger than the delay had 9 it not been for the excessive and unreasonable float usage in violation of the 10 sharing concept required by this Specification. 11 12 E. Engineer's review of the schedule submittals shall be only for conformance 13 with the information given in the Contract Documents and shall not extend to 14 the means, methods, sequences and techniques or procedures of construction 15 or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. Engineer's review of the 16 schedule submittals will be predicated on a Contractor's stamp of approval 17 signed off by Contractor. Contractor's stamp of approval on any schedule 18 submittals shall constitute a representation to Owner and Engineer that 19 Contractor, has either determined or verified all data on the submittal, or 20 assumes full responsibility for doing so, and that Contractor and his 21 subcontractors and suppliers have reviewed and coordinated the sequences 22 shown in the submittal with the requirements of the work under the Contract 23 Documents. 24 25 2.02 SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS 26 27 A. Graphic network diagrams shall be on a time -scaled precedence network 28 format. The graphic network diagram shall include the following format: 29 30. 1. Description of each activity, or restraint, shall be brief but convey the 31 scope of work described. 32 33 2. Activities shall identify all items of work that must be accomplished to 34 achieve substantial completion, or any interim substantial completion, 35 such as the major disciplines of work; items pertaining to the approval 36 of regulatory agencies; contractor's time required for submittals, 37 fabrication and deliveries; the time required by Engineer to review all 38 submittals as set forth in the Contract Documents; items of work 39 required of Owner to support pre -operational and start-up testing; time 40 required for the relocation of utilities. Activities shall also identify 41 interface milestones with the work of other contract work under 42 separate contracts with Owner. 43 44 3. Any activities not shown on the graphic network diagram shall be 45 considered to have no effect on the Contractor's ability to achieve 46 substantial completion, or interim substantial completion, within the 47 Contract Time. Any delays to activities that do not appear in the CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-3 01/22/16 1 concurred detailed schedule shall give rise only to non -prejudicial 2 delays. Attempts to impose after -the -fact logic constraints where none 3 existed previously to justify time extensions will not be permitted. 4 5 4. Activity durations shall be in whole working days. 6 7 5. Graphic diagrams shall be time -scaled and sequenced by work areas. 8 The Diagram of Activities shall show numerical values for total float and 9 be shown on their early schedules. The diagram shall be neat and 10 legible and submitted on sheets no larger than 24 inches by 36 inches 11 on a medium suitable for reproduction. 12 13 B. Printout reports shall contain the following data for each activity or restraint: 14 15 1. Activity identification, activity description, activity duration, activity 16 man -days, computed or specified early start date, computed early finish 17 date, computed late start date, computed or specified late finish date, 18 and total float and free float. 19 20 2. Five separate reports shall be provided, including all activities and 21 restraints, and shall be submitted monthly as follows: 22 23 a. Activity, sort by early start dates in order of ascending numbers. 24 b. Activity, sort by department. 25 c. Float report, in order of ascending total float values. 26 d. Successor/predecessor report. 27 28 PART 3 - EXECUTION 29 30 3.01 DETAILED SCHEDULE SUBMITTAL 31 32 A. Submittal shall include a time -scaled graphic diagram showing all Contract 33 activities, computer printout reports, and a supporting narrative. The initial 34 Detailed Schedule submittal shall be delivered within 10 calendar days after 35 the Notice to Proceed, and shall use the Notice to Proceed as the "data date". 36 Upon receipt of Engineer's comments, Contractor shall meet with Engineer 37 and discuss an appraisal and evaluation of the proposed work plan. 38 Necessary revisions resulting from this review shall be made by Contractor 39 and the detailed schedule resubmitted within 15 calendar days after the 40 meeting. The re -submittal, if agreed to by the Owner, and unless 41 subsequently changed with the concurrence of or at the direction of Owner, 42 shall be the work plan to be used by the Contractor for planning, scheduling, 43 managing and executing the work. If Contractor fails to provide an acceptable 44 Detailed Schedule submittal, he will be deemed not to have provided a basis 45 upon which progress may be evaluated, which will further constitute reasons 46 for refusing to recommend payment. 47 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-4 01/22/16 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 B. The graphic diagram shall be formatted in accordance with Article 2.02(A) 2 above. The diagram shall include (1) all detailed activities grouped by major 3 areas of work. The critical path activities shall be identified, including critical 4 paths for interim dates, if applicable, by clearly highlighting the path on the 5 graphics diagram. 6 7 C. This submittal shall include five copies of the graphic diagram, the printout 8 reports and the narrative, in accordance with Article 2.02 of these scheduling 9 requirements. 10 11 D. The narrative shall include sufficient data to explain the basis of Contractor's 12 determination of durations, describe the contract conditions and restraints 13 plugged into the schedule, and provide a "what -if" analysis pertaining to 14 potential problems and practical steps to mitigate them. Should Engineer 15 require additional data, this information shall be supplied by Contractor within 16 ten calendar days. 17 18 3.02 MONTHLY STATUS REPORTS 19 20 A. Beginning with the first month, and every month thereafter, Contractor shall 21 submit to Engineer, with each request for payment, a Monthly Status Report 22 (based on the Detailed Schedule) with data as of the last day of the pay 23 period. The monthly Status Report shall include a revised copy of the currently 24 accepted graphic diagram, computer printouts and a narrative. The Monthly 25 Status Report will be reviewed by the Engineer. The Contractor will address 26 the Engineer's comments in the subsequent Monthly Status Report. If 27 Contractor fails to provide acceptable Monthly Status Reports, he will be 28 deemed not to have provided a basis upon which progress may be evaluated, 29 which will be reason for refusing to recommend progress payments. 30 31 B. The revised diagram shall show, for the currently accepted detailed diagram, 32 percentages of completion for all activities, actual start and finish dates, and 33 remaining durations, as appropriate. Activities not previously included in the 34 currently accepted detailed schedule shall be added, except that contractual 35 dates will not be changed except by Change Order. Review of a revised 36 diagram by the Engineer will not be construed to constitute concurrence with 37 the time frames, duration, or sequencing for such added activities; instead the 38 corresponding data as ultimately incorporated into an appropriate change 39 order shall govern. 40 41 C. The narrative shall include the information shown in the following outline in a 42 narrative form: 43 44 1. Construction progress (refer to activity number in the Detailed 45 Schedule) including: 46 47 a. Activities completed this reporting period; CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-5 01/22/16 1 b. Activities in progress this reporting period; 2 c. Activities scheduled to commence next reporting period. 3 4 2. Description of problem areas 5 6 3. Current and anticipated delays 7 8 a. Cause of the delay; 9 b. Corrective action and schedule adjustments to correct the delay; 10 c. Impact of the delay on other activities, on milestones, and on 11 completion dates. 12 13 4. Changes in construction sequence 14 15 5. Pending items and status thereof 16 17 a. Permits 18 b. Change Orders 19 c. Time extensions 20 d. Other 21 22 6. Contract completion date status 23 24 a. Ahead of schedule and number of days 25 b. Behind schedule and number of days 26 27 3.03 REVISIONS 28 29 A. All revised Detailed Schedule submittals shall be in the same form and detail 30 as the initial submittal and shall be accompanied by an explanation of the 31 reasons for such revisions, all of which shall be subject to review by Engineer. 32 The revision shall incorporate all previously made changes to reflect current 33 as -built conditions. Minor changes to the submittal may be reviewed at 34 monthly meetings. Changes to activities having adequate float shall be 35 considered a minor change. 36 37 B. A revised detailed work plan submittal shall be submitted for review, when 38 required by Engineer, for one of the following reasons: 39 40 1. Owner or Engineer directs a change that affects the date(s) specified in 41 the Agreement or alters the length of a critical path. 42 43 2. Contractor elects to change any sequence of activities so as to affect a 44 critical path of the currently accepted detailed schedule documents. 45 46 C. If, prior to agreement on an equitable adjustment to the Contract Time, 47 Engineer requires revisions to the Detailed Schedule in order to evaluate CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-6 01/22/16 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 planned progress, Contractor shall provide an interim revised submittal for 2 review with change effect(s) incorporated as directed. Approved interim 3 revisions to the documents will be incorporated during the first subsequent 4 Monthly Status Report. 5 6 3.04 START-UP SCHEDULE SUBMITTALS 7 8 A. At least 90 calendar days prior to the date of Substantial Completion, 9 Contractor shall submit a time -scaled (days after notice to proceed) graphic 10 diagram detailing the work to take place in the period between 60 days prior to 11 Substantial Completion, together with a supporting narrative. Engineer shall 12 have 10 calendar days after receipt of the submittal to respond. Upon receipt 13 of Engineer's comments, Contractor shall make the necessary revisions and 14 submit the revised schedule within ten calendar days. If Contractor fails to 15 provide acceptable Start-up Schedule Submittals, he will be deemed not to 16 have provided a basis upon which progress may be evaluated, which will be 17 reason for refusing to recommend payment. 18 19 B. The Start-up Schedule may not be combined with the Detailed Schedule. The 20 Start-up Schedule is intended to show much greater detail than the Detailed 21 Schedule for start-up activities. Typical information required includes, but is 22 not limited to, the timing of vendor representatives, pre-op testing, individual 23 equipment start-ups, Owner's training, and performance certification testing. 24 25 C. The graphic diagram shall use the currently accepted Detailed Schedule for 26 those activities completed ahead of the last 60 calendar days prior to 27 Substantial Completion, and detailed activities for the remaining 60 -day period 28 within the time frames outlined in the currently accepted Detailed Schedule. 29 30 D. Contractor will be required to continue the requirement for monthly reports, as 31 outlined in Articles 3.03 and 3.04 above. In preparing these reports, 32 Contractor must assure that the Detailed Schedule is consistent with the 33 progress noted in the Start-up Schedule. 34 35 E. In addition, Contractor will be required to submit a revised copy of the start-up 36 graphic diagram on a monthly basis with a start-up narrative. This revised 37 diagram shall highlight percentages of completion, actual start and finish 38 dates, and remaining durations as applicable. Activities not previously 39 included in the accepted detailed work plan shall be added in these submittals, 40 except that contractual dates shall not be changed except by Change Order. 41 Reviews of these submittals by Engineer will not be construed to constitute 42 concurrence with the time frames, durations or sequence of work for each 43 added activity. 44 45 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-7 01/22/16 1 3.05 CONSTRUCTION PERIOD 2 3 A. Whenever it becomes apparent from the current monthly progress evaluation 4 and updated schedule data that any milestone and/or Contract completion 5 date will not be met, the Contractor shall take appropriate action to bring the 6 work back on schedule. Actions could include: 7 8 1. Increase construction manpower in such quantities and crafts as to 9 substantially eliminate the backlog of work; 10 11 2. Increase the number of working hours per shift, shifts per work day, 12 work days per week, or the amount of construction equipment, or any 13 combination of the foregoing sufficient to substantially eliminate the 14 backlog of work; and 15 16 3. Reschedule work items to achieve concurrency of accomplishment. 17 18 B. The addition of equipment or construction forces, increasing the working hours 19 or any other method, manner, or procedure to return to the current Detailed 20 Schedule shall be at the Contractor's own cost and shall not be considered 21 justification for a Change Order or treated as an acceleration order. 22 23 24 END SECTION CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 01310-8 01/22/16 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 SECTION 01340 2 3 SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA, WORKING DRAWINGS AND SAMPLES 4 5 PART 1 - GENERAL 6 7 1.01 REQUIREMENTS INCLUDED 8 9 A.

The Contractor remains 9 responsible for details and accuracy, for coordinating the work with all other 10 associated work and trades, for selecting fabrication processes, for 11 techniques of assembly, and for performing work in a safe manner. 12 13 B. The review of shop drawings, data, and samples will be general. They shall 14 not be construed: 15 16 1. As permitting any departure from the Contract requirements; 17 18 2. As relieving the Contractor of responsibility for any errors, including 19 details, dimensions, and materials; 20 21 3. As approving departures from details furnished by the Engineer, 22 except as otherwise provided herein. 23 24 C. If the shop drawings, data or samples as submitted describe variations per 25 subparagraph (1.07H), and show a departure from the Contract requirements 26 which Engineer finds to be in the interest of the Owner and to be so minor as 27 not to involve a change in Contract Price or time for performance, the 28 Engineer may return the reviewed drawings without noting an exception. 29 30 D. Submittals will be returned to the Contractor under one of the following: 31 32 "NO EXCEPTIONS NOTED" is assigned when there are no notations or 33 comments on the submittal.

Ledge rock, boulders and large stones shall be removed to provide 8 a clearance of six inches on all pipe twenty-four (24) inches and smaller and 9 nine inches on pipe larger than twenty-four (24) inches. If such removal is 10 required, backfilling will be done with selected material approved by the 11 Engineer and tamped to establish the proper grade. 12 13 E. Trench Bottom 14 15 1. Where the bottom of the trench at subgrade is found to be unstable or 16 to include ashes, cinders, refuse, vegetable or other organic matter, 17 or Targe pieces or fragments of inorganic material that, in the 18 judgment of the Engineer, should be removed, the Contractor shall 19 excavate and remove such unsuitable material to the width and depth 20 as directed by the Engineer. Before the pipe is laid, the subgrade 21 shall be made by backfilling with an approved material in three inch 22 uncompacted layers. The layers shall be thoroughly tamped as 23 specified by the Engineer to provide the uniform and continuous 24 bearing support as heretofore described. 25 26 2. The trench shall be dry when the bottom is prepared. The trench 27 bottom shall be excavated, or filled and compacted, as required to 28 bring it to grade and shaped to receive and support the pipe barrel. In 29 addition, bell holes shall be excavated so that after placement only 30 the barrel of the pipe receives bearing pressure from and is uniformly 31 supported by, the bottom of the trench. Preparation of the trench 32 bottom and placement of the pipe shall be such that the final position 33 of the pipe is true to line and grade, and uniformly supported 34 throughout the barrel of each length. When pipe is placed in refill 35 material, additional refill of the same material shall be tamped on 36 each side of the barrel to the springline, thus forming a trough of firm 37 bedding. 38 39 F. All materials that, in the opinion of the Engineer, are suitable for reuse in 40 restoring the disturbed surface shall be kept separated from the general 41 excavation material and can only be used as directed by the Engineer. 42 43 G. All excavated material shall be piled in a manner that will not endanger the 44 work and that will avoid obstructing sidewalks and driveways. Hydrants, valve 45 pit covers, valve boxes, curb stop boxes, fire and police call boxes, or other 46 utility controls shall be left unobstructed and accessible until the work is 47 completed. Gutters, drainage inlets, natural water courses and EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL FOR PIPES 02221-6 01/22/16 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 miscellaneous drainage structures shall be kept clear or other satisfactory 2 provisions made for their proper operation. 3 4 H. Hand methods for excavation shall be employed when damage to existing 5 facilities is likely if heavy equipment is utilized or as directed by the Engineer. 6 7 3.05 DEPTH 8 9 A. Overdepth 10 11 1. When classified excavation is required, the rock shall be excavated to 12 a minimum depth of six inches below the trench depths as indicated 13 on the drawings or Specifications. Authorized overdepths in rock 14 excavation shall be refilled to grade with loose granular moist earth or 15 shell thoroughly tamped in place. 16 17 B. Trench shall be excavated to the depth required so as to provide a uniform 18 and continuous bearing and support for the pipe on solid and undisturbed 19 ground at every point between bell holes, except as necessary for removal of 20 pipe slings or other lifting tackle. Any part of the bottom of the trench 21 excavated to a point below the specified grade shall be corrected with 22 approved material at the Contractor's expense and thoroughly tamped as 23 directed by the Engineer. 24 25 C. Wherever unstable soil or muck that is determined by the Engineer to be 26 incapable of properly supporting the pipe is encountered in the bottom of the 27 trench, such material shall be removed to the required depth and the trench 28 refilled as specified to proper grade. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, 29 removal of the unstable material by this method is impractical, then the 30 Contractor shall support the pipe as detailed on the plans, or as directed by 31 the Engineer. 32 33 3.06 BACKFILL 34 35 A. General 36 37 1. The Contractor shall not perform any of the backfilling operations until 38 after he has inspected the lines and found them to be acceptable to 39 the Owner. 40 41 2. Backfill material shall consist of earth, loam, sandy clay, sand, gravel, 42 soft shale or other materials, free from organic materials, large clods 43 of earth, or stones.

No mechanical equipment, or machinery other than a hand operated 6 mechanical vibrator, shall be allowed within the trench area until the 7 backfill has been properly tamped to one foot above the top of pipe. 8 The remainder of the backfill shall be deposited in one foot layers and 9 thoroughly tamped. Settling the backfill with water shall not be 10 permitted. 11 12 5. Where trenches are improperly backfilled, or where settlement occurs, 13 the trenches shall be reopened to the depth required for proper 14 compaction, refilled and compacted, and the surface restored to the 15 required grade and compaction, mounded over and smoothed off. 16 17 B. Compaction Requirements 18 19 1. Trenches located under pavement or inside the two feet horizontal to 20 one foot vertical slope, downward from roadway shoulder or the back 21 of curb and from spring line to bottom of sub -grade or the finished 22 surface of the embankment, as appropriate, shall be compacted to a 23 density of ninety-eight (98) percent as determined by AASHTO T- 24 180, Modified Density Test. 25 26 2. Trenches located outside of the two feet horizontal to one foot vertical 27 slope downward from roadway shoulder or the back of curb and 28 where no vehicular traffic will pass over the trenches, backfill shall be 29 compacted to a density approximately equal to that soil adjacent to 30 the trench but not Tess than ninety-five (95) percent of the maximum 31 density as determined by AASHTO T-180, Modified Density Test. 32 33 C. Testing of Backfill 34 35 1. Trenching within, or across roadways, or other areas to be paved, or 36 stabilized shall be backfilled and compacted to their full depth. 37 Compaction testing shall also meet the requirements of Section 38 01410. 39 40 2. Where unsatisfactory compaction is revealed by the test, the 41 Contractor shall re -excavate, backfill, re -compact and/or rework the 42 backfill as required, to obtain the required degree of compaction over 43 the entire depth of the trench. 44 45 3.

A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department's action is based must contain the following information, as indicated in Rule 28-106.201, Florida Administrative Code: (a) The name and address of each agency affected, each agency's file or identification number, if known, and the county in which the project is located; (b) The name, address, any e-mail address, any facsimile number, and telephone number of the petitioner, if the petitioner is not represented by an attorney or a qualified representative; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's representative, if any; which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner's substantial interests will be affected by the determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the Department's decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the Department's proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the Dept tuient's proposed action, including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the Department to take with respect to the Depaituuent's proposed action. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above. Mediation under Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, is not available for this proceeding. This permit action is final on the date filed with the Clerk of the Depai tiuent unless a petition (or request for extension of time) is filed in accordance with the above. Upon the timely filing of a petition (or request for an extension of time), this permit will not be effective until further order of the Depaitment. Any party to the permit has the right to seek judicial review of the permit action under Section 120.68, Florida Statutes, by the filing of a notice of appeal under Rules 9.110 and 9.190, Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, with the Clerk of the Department in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida, 32399-3000, and by filing a copy Robert S.

Governor Jonathan P. Steverson Secretary On August 26, 2016, we received your application for an individual permit to perform the following activities: Replace an existing 20" force main (which will be abandoned in place by cutting, grouting, and capped), with approximately 2,300 linear feet of 24" HDPE force main and approximately 1,500 linear feet of 20" HDPE force main via Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) within Clearwater Harbor a Class III Outstanding Florida Waterway and part of the Pinellas County Aquatic Preserve. The project also includes the installation of 800 feet of 20" ductile iron pipe via open trenching, which will be used to connect existing utilities to the new pipe segment. This installation via trenching shall be conducted within uplands at least 25 feet landward of jurisdictional wetlands. The project will begin at 868 Bayway Blvd, Clearwater, and terminate near 100 N. Osceola Ave, Clearwater, in Sections 16, 17, Township 29 South, Range 15 East, Pinellas County. Your application for an individual permit was processed as a request for verification of exemption pursuant under Section 373.406(6) of the Florida Statutes. Your request has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for (1) a regulatory exemption, (2) proprietary authorization (related to state-owned submerged lands), and (3) federal approval that may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States. Your project did not qualify for the proprietary and federal review portions of this verification request. Additional authorization must be obtained prior to commencement of the proposed activity. This letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that may be required for the activity. Please refer to the specific section(s) dealing with that portion of the review for advice on how to proceed. www.dep.state.f1.us File Name: Clearwater Memorial Causeway Subaqueous Pipeline File No: 52 -0347018 -001 -EE Page 2 of 6 If you change the project from what you submitted, the authorization(s) granted may no longer be valid at the time of commencement of the project. Please contact us prior to beginning your project if you wish to make any changes. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Kevin MacLachlan at the letterhead address or at 813-470-5747 or at kevin maclachlan@dep.state.fl.us. 1. Regulatory Review — VERIFIED Based on the information submitted, the Department has determined that the activity as proposed is exempt, under Section 373.406(6) of the Florida Statutes, from the need to obtain a regulatory permit under Part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes. This determination is made because the activity, in consideration of its type, size, nature, location, use and operation, is expected to have only minimal or insignificant individual or cumulative adverse impacts on the water resources. This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the statutes and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification may not be valid if site conditions materially change, the project design is modified, or the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. In the event you need to re -verify the exempt status for the activity, a new request and verification fee will be required. Any substantial modifications to the project design should be submitted to the Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required. In the event of a frac-out, the Standard Manatee Construction Conditions for In -water Work (2011) shall be followed for all in -water activity, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission shall be notified of the event immediately at ImperiledSpeciesC myfwc.com, including the permit number, dates and status of the event. 2. Proprietary Review - DENIED The Department acts as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board of Trustees) and issues certain authorizations for the use of sovereign submerged lands. The Department has the authority to review activities on sovereign submerged lands under Chapters 253 and 258 of the Florida Statutes, and Chapters 18-20, and 18-21, Florida Administrative Code, as applicable. The activity appears to be located on sovereign submerged lands owned by the Board of Trustees. The activity is not exempt from the need to obtain the applicable proprietary authorization. As staff to the Board of Trustees, the Department has reviewed the activity described above, and has determined that the activity requires a public easement for the use of sovereign submerged lands. you must make application to the Department for such authorization. Please contact Kevin MacLachlan at 813-470-5747 for additional information. 3. SPGP Review - NOT APPROVED Your proposed activity as outlined on your application and attached drawings does not qualify for Federal authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit and a separate permit or authorization may be required from the Corps. A copy of your application has been forwarded to the Corps for their review. The Corps will issue their File Name: Clearwater Memorial Causeway Subaqueous Pipeline File No: 52 -0347018 -001 -EE Page 3 of 6 authorization directly to you or contact you if additional information is needed. If you have not heard from the Corps within 30 days from the date your application was received at the local FDEP Office, contact the Corps at the Tampa Regulatory Field Office at (813) 769- 7073 for status and further information. Failure to obtain Corps authorization prior to construction could subject you to federal enforcement action by that agency.

Note: Access roads shall be the minimum width necessary. Access roads constructed under this permit shall be made of pervious materials such as sand, gravel, limestone, etc. Access roads must be constructed so that the length of the road minimizes the adverse effects on waters of the United States and as near as possible to preconstruction contours and elevations (e.g., at grade corduroy roads or geotextile/gravel roads). Access roads constructed above preconstruction contours and elevations in waters of the United States must be properly bridged or culverted to maintain surface flows. Access roads 5 Regional General Permit — SAJ-14 used solely for construction of the overhead power line must be removed upon completion of the work and the area restored to preconstruction contours, elevations, and wetland conditions. 15. No work shall be performed until after the permittee provides notification to the owner(s) or operator(s) of any marked utilities in the work area, unless the permittee is the same entity as the owner(s) or operator(s). 16. Directional boring vaults, junction boxes, and/or pads will not be constructed within 50 feet of the top of the bank of waterways (rivers/streams). Horizontal directional drilling pilot, entrance, and exit holes must be the minimum diameter necessary; and, must be set back from the waterway (river/stream) bank by a minimum of 50 feet. Excavated materials and drilling mud must be stockpiled on non -wetland areas, where available. Appropriate fabric must be placed beneath all materials stockpiled in wetlands. 17. Except as noted in Special Conditions 18 and 19, below, all subaqueous utility and/or transmission lines authorized by this regional general permit must be installed a minimum of 6 feet below the bottom contour of any other water of the United States. The 6 -foot criterion applies to the entire authorized width of the crossing, plus a minimum of 10 feet on each side of the crossing. 18. In all Florida counties, all subaqueous utility and/or transmission lines authorized by this regional general permit must be installed a minimum of 14 feet below the authorized depth of any federally -maintained shallow -draft navigation channel it crosses. The 14 -foot criterion applies to the entire authorized width of the channel, plus a minimum of 25 feet outside the channel edges to allow for maintenance of the side slopes. Any activity within Federal rights-of- way shall require the permittee to enter into a consent -to -easement with the Real Estate Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville or Mobile District, as appropriate, prior to the commencement of any construction activity. 19.

Projects not in compliance with these criteria shall not be eligible for authorization under SAJ-14 until case specific review has been completed by the Jacksonville District Engineering Division in accordance with 33 U.S.C. 408 and the project has received approval from the Jacksonville District Commander. 20. In all Florida counties, all projects beneath a Federal flood control or navigation channel (either federally or locally maintained) shall, upon completion of work, provide an as -built survey showing the horizontal and vertical location (X -Y -Z coordinates in NAD 83 and NAVD 88) of the object below the channel as it enters and exits the design edges of the authorized width of the channel, plus a minimum of 25 feet outside the channel edges. 21. Evaluation of applications for utility line crossings of levees, dikes, dams, or other water retaining structures will require case specific review by the Jacksonville Engineering Division in 6 Regional General Permit — SAJ-14 accordance with 33 U.S.C. 408 and approval from the Jacksonville District Commander prior to authorization under the SAJ-14. 22. Material resulting from trench excavation may be temporarily sidecast (up to three months) into waters of the United States, provided that the material is not placed in such a manner that it is dispersed by currents or other forces. The District Engineer may extend the period of temporary side casting not to exceed a total of 180 days, where appropriate. The top 6- 12 inches of the trench should normally be backfilled with topsoil from the trench. Furthermore, the trench cannot be constructed in such a manner as to drain waters of the United States (e.g., backfilling with extensive gravel layers, creating a French drain effect). For example, utility line trenches can be backfilled with clay blocks to ensure that the trench does not drain the waters of the United States through which the utility line is installed. Any exposed slopes and stream banks must be stabilized immediately upon completion of the utility line crossing of each waterbody. 23. Dredged or fill material placed as backfill or bedding for subaqueous utility and transmission lines must not change the preconstruction bottom contours. Excess material must be moved to an upland disposal area. 24. The permittee will install signs at the shoreline to notify navigational interests of the location of subaqueous utility and transmission lines. 25. No project will be authorized under SAJ-14 if the proposed fill activity will result in upstream waters of the United States being removed from Federal jurisdiction. 26. Compensatory mitigation for unavoidable permanent impacts to waters of the United States will be required. To offset lost wetland and other aquatic resource functions, environmentally appropriate mitigation at a federally -approved mitigation bank will be accepted. Mitigation undertaken at a federally -approved mitigation bank will be at a ratio of 1:1 (impact acreage:credit). Mitigation not undertaken at a mitigation bank will be required to be in accordance with the guidelines found in the Final Compensatory Mitigation Rule (reference http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/SourceBook.aspx) and will provide compensatory functional mitigation using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Methodology (UMAM) or other acceptable assessment methodology. 27. Turbidity control measures, including best management practices, shall be used throughout construction to control erosion and siltation to ensure there are no violations of State Water Quality Standards as established in sections 62-4.242 and 62-4.244 of the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 62-302, 62-520, 62-522, and 62-550 of the Florida Administrative Code. 28.

The post -construction notification will include "as -built plans", signed and sealed by a registered surveyor/engineer licensed in the State of Florida, that certify the project is constructed as authorized; and, must include an accurate depiction of the location and configuration of the completed activity in relation to the mean high water of the navigable water. 30. Cultural Resources and/or Historic Properties: a. No structure or work shall adversely affect, impact, or disturb properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or those eligible for inclusion in the NRNP. b. If during the ground disturbing activities and construction work within the permit area, there are archaeological/cultural materials encountered which were not the subject of a previous cultural resources assessment survey (and which shall include, but not be limited to: pottery, modified shell, flora, fauna, human remains, ceramics, stone tools or metal implements, dugout canoes, evidence of structures or any other physical remains that could be associated with Native American cultures or early colonial or American settlement), the Permittee shall immediately stop all work in the vicinity and notify the Corps. The Corps shall then notify the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the appropriate Tribal Historic Preservation Officer(s) (THPO(s)) to assess the significance of the discovery and devise appropriate actions. c. A cultural resources assessment may be required of the permit area, if deemed necessary by the SHPO, THPO(s), or Corps, in accordance with 36 CFR 800 or 33 CFR 325, Appendix C (5). Based, on the circumstances of the discovery, equity to all parties, and considerations of the public interest, the Corps may modify, suspend or revoke the permit in accordance with 33 CFR Part 325.7. Such activity shall not resume on non-federal lands without written authorization from the SHPO and the Corps. d. In the unlikely event that unmarked human remains are identified on non-federal lands, they will be treated in accordance with Section 872.05 Florida Statutes. All work in the vicinity shall immediately cease and the Permittee shall immediately notify the medical examiner, Corps, and State Archeologist. The Corps shall then notify the appropriate SHPO and THPO(s). Based, on the circumstances of the discovery, equity to all parties, and considerations of the public 8 Regional General Permit — SAJ-14 interest, the Corps may modify, suspend or revoke the permit in accordance with 33 CFR Part 325.7. Such activity shall not resume without written authorization from the State Archeologist, SHPO, and the Corps. e. In the unlikely event that human remains are encountered on federal or tribal lands, or in situations where Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, or Native American Graves Protection Repatriation Act of 1990 applies, all work in the vicinity shall immediately cease and the Permittee immediately notify the Corps. The Corps shall then notify the appropriate THPO(s) and SHPO. Based, on the circumstances of the discovery, equity to all parties, and considerations of the public interest, the Corps may modify, suspend or revoke the permit in accordance with 33 CFR Part 325.7. After such notification, project activities on federal lands shall not resume without written authorization from the Corps, and/or appropriate THPO(s), SHPO, and federal manager. After such notification, project activities on tribal lands shall not resume without written authorization from the appropriate THPO(s) and the Corps. 31. This permit does not authorize stream channelization or the bank -to -bank filling, relocating, and/or culverting of perennial or intermittent streams. The authorized activities must not increase flooding or negatively impact the pre -project hydraulic flow characteristics or water quality of any affected stream. 32. Within 60 days of completion of the authorized work, and any mitigation required, a Self -Certification Statement of Compliance (reference http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/SourceBook.aspx) must be completed and submitted to the Corps. The form must reference the site specific Department of the Army permit number associated with the work. The completed form can be submitted electronically to (cesaj-complydocs@usace.army.mil), otherwise, it must be mailed to the Jacksonville District, Enforcement Section, Post Office 4970, Jacksonville, Florida 32232-0019. 33. Fill material used with a project shall be limited to suitable, clean fill material, which excludes materials such as trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, construction materials, concrete block with exposed reinforcement bars, and any soils contaminated with any toxic amounts (see Section 307 of the Clean Water Act). 34. Reduction and/or elimination of turbid water conditions and the erosion of disturbed or filled areas in adjacent water bodies and wetlands are to be achieved through the use of silt curtains, silt screens, or other appropriate erosion control measures, between the construction area and wetlands or surface waters, during periods of fill placement and construction. Such devices shall be properly maintained until such time as those disturbed areas become sufficiently stabilized by natural recruitment of vegetation or other measures. 35. Conformance with descriptions and quantities contained herein does not necessarily guarantee authorization under this regional general permit. The District Engineer reserves the right to require thatany request for authorization under this regional general permit be evaluated as an individual permit. 9 Regional General Permit — SAJ-14 36. Authorization under this regional general permit is void at any time if the information provided by the applicant in support of the permit application proves to have been false, incomplete, or inaccurate. 37. The permittee shall defend and hold the Government harmless from any and all claims by reason of the placement and installation of aerial transmission lines authorized by this permit. 38. For projects authorized under the SAJ-14 in navigable waters of the United States, the permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structures or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration. 39. In order to assure that SAJ-14 does not impair the usefulness of existing Corps projects and that it is not injurious to the public, the following special conditions are required pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408 authorization: a. Construction of directional boring vaults, junction boxes, and/or pads are not allowed within 25 feet of the top of the bank of any federal project. b. Subaqueous utility lines installed via horizontal direction drilling (HDD) within a federal project must ensure the top of the HDD boring is a minimum of 14 feet beneath the bottom of any shallow draft navigation channel or 10 feet beneath the bottom of any flood control channel, and the estimated total drilling fluid pressure is less than 10 psi. c. Subaqueous utility lines installed via trenching must be a minimum of 14 feet below the authorized depth of any shallow draft federal navigation channel including a minimum of 25 feet outside the channel edges to allow for maintenance of the side slopes. d. Subaqueous utility lines installed via trenching must be a minimum of 10 feet below the authorized depth of any federal flood control channel including a minimum of 25 feet outside of the channel edges. e. All projects beneath a Federal flood control or navigation channel will be required to provide at the completion of work, an as -built survey showing the horizontal and vertical location (X -Y -Z coordinates in NAD 83 and NAVD 88, as applicable) of the object below the channel as it enters and exits the design edges of the authorized width of the channel, plus a minimum of 25 feet outside the channel edges. f. Evaluation of applications for utility line crossings of levees, dikes, dams, or other water retaining structures and crossings beneath deep draft federal navigation projects will require case specific review and approval pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408 prior to authorization under the SAJ-14. 10 Regional General Permit — SAJ-14 40. SAJ-14 shall be valid for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance unless suspended or revoked by issuance of a public notice by the District Engineer. The Corps, in conjunction with the Federal resource agencies, will conduct annual reviews to ensure that continued use of the permit during the 5 -year authorization period is not contrary to the public interest. If SAJ-14 expires or is revoked prior to completion of the authorized work, authorization of activities that have commenced or are under contract to commence in reliance on SAJ-14 will remain in effect provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date SAJ-14 expired or was revoked. 41. The permittee shall perform all work and subsequent actions in accordance with the attached general conditions. BY AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY 9 Alan M.

Truong, P.E., RE: Dear Loc: Report of the Geotechnical Investigation Clearwater Subaqueous Crossing Clearwater, Florida Our File DES 157559 July 7, 2015 DRIGGERS ENGINEERING SERVICES has completed the land and marine test borings authorized to date. Presented herein are the results of our field and laboratory tests, together with a discussion of our findings and recommendations. SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION PROGRAM Plate I of the report illustrations identifies the respective positioning of a series of test borings that has been authorized to date to investigate subsurface conditions. The program consisted of six (6) land Standard Penetration Test borings and three (3) marine test borings. Please note that the performance of the marine test borings for the subaqueous crossing north of the Memorial Causeway Bridge has been delayed pending further alignment study. The locations depicted on Plate I are approximate. The land boring locations were surveyed by King Engineering Associates, Inc. (KEA) who provided elevations identified on the test boring logs. Please refer to the KEA drawings for refined test locations. The marine test borings were positioned approximately based upon supplied GPS coordinates. The mudline elevations were estimated from available bathymetry and are considered approximate. The Standard Penetration Test method of sampling was utilized on both the land and. marine test borings. Logs of the test borings are presented in the report attachments reflecting visual together with estimated Unified and AASHTO Soil classification.

Please note that the lines connecting the Standard Penetration resistance values are for ease of visual interpretation and do not imply a linear variation in soil or rock characteristics. A brief description of the Standard Penetration Test method of sampling is included in the report attachments. You will note that a Hand Cone Penetration test and hand auger boring was advanced to a depth of six (6) ft. to double check for utilities. The results are included in the appendix along with a brief description of the Cone Penetration test. LABORATORY INVESTIGATION A limited laboratory testing program was undertaken to aid in characterizing the engineering properties of the subsurface soils. Our laboratory tests included grainsize analyses, Atterberg Limits, natural moisture content and organic content tests. The results of our laboratory tests are included in the report attachments. GENERALIZED SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS LAND-BASED TEST BORINGS — Test boring B-1 at Clearwater Point encountered predominately medium dense to very loose fine sands with variable shell content extending to a depth of about 12 feet and included a seam of silty to clayey sand in the depth range of six (6) to eight (8) feet below existing grade. Below 12 feet, very loose silty sands graded to silty to clayey sands that continued to some 28 feet below existing grade. Beneath 28 feet, the limestone formation was encountered which extended to the termination depth of the test boring at 51.5 feet below grade. The limestone formation varied in consistency, as evidenced by penetration resistance values varying from approximately 14 blows per foot to refusal at 50 blows for 0.2 feet of penetration. Test boring B-2 which was performed on the Memorial Causeway, evidenced an upper unit of about five (5) feet of fine sands with variable shell content with a seam of gray silty to sand clay in the depth range of about 1.5 to 2.5 feet below grade. Very loose silty sands with variable shell content continued below five (5) feet to about 12 feet beneath the existing ground surface. An intermediate lens of fine sand with variable shell content continued from 12 feet to about 18 feet. Below 18 feet, very loose silty to clayey sand continued to some 23 feet beneath the ground surface, followed by relatively loose clayey sands that terminated above firm sandy clay at about 28 feet. The limestone formation was penetrated at 33 feet below existing grade and continued to Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated the termination depth of the test boring at 51.3 feet. The limestone formation exhibited relatively high Standard Penetration resistance values at each sample interval. Test boring B-3, also on Memorial Causeway, revealed the presence of an upper zone of fine sands with variable shell content extending to a depth of about eight (8) feet. Slightly silty to silty and clayey sands continued below eight (8) feet to about 23 feet below present grade. Penetration resistance values within this zone reflected very loose consistencies. Firm clay was encountered below 23 feet and terminated above the limestone formation at 28 feet beneath the existing ground surface. The limestone formation continued to the termination depth of 51.5 feet. In general, penetration resistance values within the limestone were generally high, but diminished to a blow count of approximately 19 blows per foot at the 50 foot depth interval. Test borings B-5 and B-6, also on Memorial Causeway, indicated predominately fine sands and silty sands with variable shell content extending to depths of some6.0 to 6.5 feet below existing grade. A seam of silty to clayey sands was encountered at boring B-5 in the depth range of 6.5 to 8 feet, whereas a one (1) foot layer of silty to sandy clay was encountered below six (6) feet in boring B-6. Both of the borings penetrated very loose silty fine sands with variable shell content below 7 to 8 feet and continuing to the termination depth of 16.5 feet. Test boring B-4 performed on the mainland side of the harbor encountered fine sands with variable shell content generally to a depth of about 8 feet. A thin seam of organic silty sand was encountered in the 4.5 to 5 foot depth interval. These upper shelly sands were very loose in consistency, based upon Cone Penetration Resistance and Standard Penetration resistance values. Below 8 feet and continuing to the surface of the limestone formation, the test boring encountered interbedded layers of silty to clayey sand and sandy clays, all of which exhibited a very loose or very soft consistency. The limestone formation was encountered at 29 feet, but penetration resistance diminished sharply near the 35 foot depth interval as the test boring appeared to have encountered an infilled dissolution feature, due to the presence of very loose silty to clayey sands, which continued to about 48 feet below existing grade. Soft limestone was evidenced near 50 feet and penetration resistance values increased within the samples recorded from 55 feet to the termination depth of 71.5 feet. Groundwater in the land-based borings generally was recorded at relatively shallow depths, commonly varying from the range of about El. +0.2 ft. to El. +2.9 ft. (NAVD). The water levels recorded in the test borings on Clearwater Point and Memorial Causeway are probably impacted by tidal variations as well as rainfall. We would anticipate typical water levels to approach El. +3± ft. or potentially higher under typical wet -season conditions and certainly significantly higher Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated 4 during storm events. The groundwater table was measured about 4.2 feet on the mainland test boring B-4 in early May. One would certainly anticipate a nominal one (1) to two (2) foot rise in this groundwater level during the normal wet season. MARINE TEST BORINGS — Test boring WB -1 encountered very loose, silty to slightly clayey sands from the mudline to a depth of about 17 feet below the water surface. Below 17 feet, stiff to very stiff clays with variable sand content and traces of limestone continued to some 27 feet, after which the limestone formation was penetrated to the termination depth of 55.5 feet. Penetration resistance values within the limestone varied from as low as 30 blows per foot to some 50 blows for zero (0) penetration. WB -2 indicated the presence of very loose silty to clayey sands extending from the mudline to a depth of about 17 feet below the water surface. Firm to very stiff and stiff clays with differing sand content and variable cementation occurred below 17 feet to some 32 feet below the water surface. In the depth range of 42 to approximately 47 feet, stiff clays appeared to be interlayered with cream limestone exhibiting a relatively stiff consistency. From a depth of 47 feet to the termination depth of 70.5 feet, the limestone formation was penetrated. Penetration resistance values varied from as low as 29 blows per foot to some 50 blows for 0.1 feet of penetration. Test boring WB -3 indicated the presence of very loose silty to clayey sands interlayered with very soft clays with differing silt and sand content from the water surface to a depth of about 22 feet. Very stiff clays with variable sand content and differing cementation occurred below 22 feet to some 32 feet. Below 32 feet and continuing to some 37 feet, hard sandy clays appeared to be interbedded with cream limestone. Below 37 feet, the limestone formation continued to the termination depth of about 55 feet. Penetration resistance values varied from as low as 18 blows per foot to some 50 blows for less than six (6) inches of penetration. Plate II of the report illustrations presents a profile of the test borings for the crossing between borings B-1 and B-2. EVALUATION AND GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS PROJECT DESCRIPTION — The project consists of the installation of a nominal 20 inch diameter Force Main using horizontal directional drilling in two (2) segments. One segment would originate on the mainland and extend below the inter -coastal waterway and exit on Memorial Causeway near the westerly end of the Memorial Causeway Bridge. A second segment would extend from Memorial Causeway in a southwesterly direction, terminating at Clearwater Point. Origgers Engineering Services Incorporated 5 Details relative to the final selected directional drill profile have yet to be finalized. However, we understand that the profile elevation below the harbor will be no higher than EI. -50 Ft. (NAVD) As previously mentioned, the marine test borings for the subaqueous segment from the Clearwater mainland to Memorial Causeway have yet to be authorized pending further studies with respect to the alignment of existing subaqueous utilities. In addition to the subaqueous crossing near the Memorial Causeway Bridge, a segment of pipeline having a nominal length of about 715 feet will be installed by direct burial with a minimum three (3) foot cover, extending westward from the subaqueous crossing exit. HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING SEGMENT — Based on available information, we would anticipate that the pipeline would probably be advanced by horizontal directional drilling, principally within the underlying limestone formation. As discussed previously, the top of the limestone formation varies in elevation, and these variations can occur over relatively short lateral distances. This is due to the fact that the limestone formation, which is believed to represent the Tampa Member of the Miocene Arcadia Formation, was subject to surface erosion and dissolution following deposition. Accordingly, it must be anticipated that the limestone formation may include localized dissolution features, crevices and cavity zones that can occur at varying elevations that cannot be reliably predicted. A loss of circulation of drilling fluid frequently occurs where these features may be intersected, as well as when zones of increased, localized permeability or porosity may occur at varying and unpredictable elevations. The limestone formation also can vary significantly with respect to the degree of cementation or lithification. This is clearly evidenced by significantly varying penetration resistance values recorded in our test borings. Although not encountered in our test boring program, localized chert seams or nodules can occur within the limestone formation. However, from extensive experience in the Clearwater Beach area, such zones are generally of limited vertical and lateral extent and more typically present within the upper 10 to 20 feet of the limestone formation. During the horizontal directional drilling operations, the contractor should exercise appropriate ways and means to minimize any potential for an escape of drilling fluids to the surface (finking) or the development of excessive fluid pressures that could result in damage or displacement of structures and utilities, and yet maintain a stable borehole to prevent collapse of overburden soils. Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated 6 DIRECT EMBEDMENT PORTION — We have anticipated that the direct embedment portion of the pipeline may include either HDPE pipe or potentially ductile iron. Further, it is our understanding that the pipeline will be embedded with a minimum of three (3) foot of cover. Thus, one would anticipate that the pipe embedment would typically be in the range of perhaps five (5) to six (6) feet below existing grade. The soils typically encountered within and just below this anticipated depth of embedment would predominately consist of fine sands with variable shell content, which should be suitable for pipe support as well as provide suitable material for backfill placement. The more suitable soils for pipe backfill would generally consist of fine sands with nominal silt or clay fines, representing the Unified soil Classification SP to SP -SM or SM, or the AASHTO A3 to A-2-4 soil classification. With proper moisture control, these types of soils should be able to be compacted to the project specification requirements of 95% of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density per ASTM D-1557. Moisture contents may need to be adjusted to achieve this degree of compaction and we would suggest moisture content within ± 2% of the optimum moisture as determined by the Modified Proctor moisture density relationship. It must be anticipated that seams of silts, clays and highly organic soils may be present at varying elevations, especially within and immediately below the upper fill soils that were probably hydraulically placed to establish existing grades. These general soil types evidenced in our studies generally comprise the SC to CH and PT Unified Soil Classification or the A-26 to A7-6 or A8 AASHTO soil classifications, corresponding to moderate to high plasticity soils and highly organic soils respectively. Highly organic soils would be totally unsuitable for pipe support or backfill. The above soils with moderate to high plasticity would also be considered unsuitable and would furthermore be very difficult to attempt to compact to specification requirements. Accordingly, these types of materials should be disposed as directed by project specification requirements. Due to the potential variability of the fill materials that are likely to extend at or below the anticipated pipe embedment, it will be important to provide careful geotechnical inspection during the construction stage in order to identify materials that would be considered unsuitable for pipe bedding, as well as unsuitable or undesirable for use as backfill above the pipe. EXCAVATION STABILITY AND CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF GROUNDWATER — The entry and exit pits for the horizontal directional drilling will likely require appropriate sheeting and bracing or a trench box to maintain excavation stability dependent upon the planned depth of excavation. However, it is anticipated that the direct embedded pipeline will be constructed in an open excavation or perhaps utilizing trench box construction. Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated 7 With all the excavation activities, it is anticipated that control and management of groundwater will be important to maintain excavation stability, allow appropriate placement of piping to line and grade and to permit proper backfill placement and compaction. It is recommended that groundwater levels be maintained no less than one (1) foot below the maximum depth of excavation or deeper as needed, dependent upon the ways and means of construction. It is envisioned that the de -watering will be accomplished utilizing an appropriately designed well - point system. Due to the stratified nature of the subsurface soils, we would strongly recommend that the contractor retain the services of a qualified de -watering consultant in order to provide appropriate details for the installation of the well -points so as to maximize de -watering efficiency, and effect the required groundwater lowering to perform construction activities in accordance with project specification requirements. Open excavation areas should be appropriately sloped in accordance with applicable OSHA Trench Safety requirements. The excavation contractor should certainly exercise due care with respect to identification and protection of any existing structures or utilities that are within the area of influence of his work activities. LIMITATIONS The geotechnical investigation herein was performed to obtain subsurface information to help facilitate the design of the planned utilities. Our geotechnical investigation may not have included gathering of all information that may be desired by the respective contractor in the preparation of his bid proposal, or in the development of his ways and means of construction. Each contractor is encouraged to conduct such additional investigative effort or testing that he may deem appropriate to prepare his bid proposal and construction plan.

PROJECT: Clearwater Memorial Causeway Subaqueous Crossing, Clearwater, Florida FILE: DES 157559 METHODS OF TESTING Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated 1 1 i STANDARD PENETRATION TEST - AUTOMATIC HAMMER Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated STANDARD PENETRATION TEST WITH AUTOMATIC HAMMER AND SOIL CLASSIFICATION STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (ASTM D-1586) In the Standard Penetration Test borings, a rotary drilling rig is used to advance the borehole to the desired test depth. 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 automatic 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 an automated lifting mechanism. 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 ofthe 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 ofthe 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. Rev. 9/2011 HAND CONE PENETRATION TEST Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated HAND CONE PENETRATION TEST The cone penetration test was performed using a DGSI Model 5-215 double rod Static Cone Penetrometer. Dual rods enable the cone stress to be measured directly. Soil friction on the outer rod does not influence the reading. Depending upon the application, either the maximum bearing for an increment of push or the least bearing for an increment can be reported. If you were investigating for soft spots, you would take the least reading. In typical use, you would force the cone into the soil 6 inches, retract the cone slightly until the gauge reads zero, then advance an additional 6 inch increment. If you meet with refusal, the cone can be removed and the hole opened with a hand auger to permit a continuation of measurements against depth. The tool has been designed to allow amaximum force of250 lbfto be applied, somewhat more than the average weight of an operator. The unit can be operated in a vertical or horizontal position. The cone tip has an included angle of 60°. The cone has a section area of 1.5 cm2. The maximum total bearing (Q) is 70 kg/cm2. The reading (Q) is in kg/cm2 which is essentially equal to ton/f. The cone index (Qc) is read directly. The correlation between the cone index and soil. constants -is; not absolute. Generally, the following results have been determined through extensive. field use of the unit. Further verification of correlation in your local soil types is essential. Standard Penetration Test "N" Value Q= Strength and Cohesion Q - Unconfined compression (kg/cm2) c - Cohesion (kg/cm2) Uniform clay and silty clays: Q = 5 Q Q, = lOc Clayey Silts: Q = (10 to 20) Q Q, _ (20to40)c SECTION V CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Table of Contents PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION BOND 1 ,CONTRACT 3 CONSENT OF SURETY TO FINAL PAYMENT 7 PROPOSAL/BID BOND 8 AFFIDAVIT 9 NON COLLUSION AFFIDAVIT 10 PROPOSAL 11 CITY OF CLEARWATER ADDENDUM SHEET 13 BIDDER'S PROPOSAL 14 SCRUTINIZED COMPANIES AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS WITH CUBA AND SYRIA CERTIFICATION FORM 16 SECTION V Page i Updated: 2/6/2017 Bond No.: 964129512 PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION BOND (1) This bond is given to comply with § 255.05, Florida Statutes, and any action instituted by a claimant under this bond for payment must be in accordance with the notice and time limitation provisions in subsections (2) and (10).
