be complete with respect to quantities, dimensions, specified performance and design criteria,
materials and similar data to show Engineer the materials and equipment Contractor proposes to
provide and to enable Engineer to review the information. Contractor shall also submit Samples
to Engineer for review and approval. Before submitting each Shop Drawing or Sample,
Contractor shall have determined and verified: (i) all field measurements, quantities, dimensions,
specified performance criteria, installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers and similar
information with respect thereto, (ii) all materials with respect to intended use, fabrication,
shipping, handling, storage, assembly and installation pertaining to the performance of the Work,
and (iii) all information relative to Contractor's sole responsibilities in respect to means,
methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction and safety precautions and
programs incident thereto. Contractor shall also have reviewed and coordinated each Shop
Drawing or Sample with other Shop Drawings and Samples with the requirements of the Work
and the Contract Documents. Each submittal will have a transmittal cover sheet identifying the
shop drawing name, number, and technical specification reference; will bear a stamp or specific
written indication that Contractor has satisfied Contractor's obligations under the Contract
Documents with respect to Contractor's review and approval of that submittal. At the time of
submission, Contractor shall give Engineer specific written notice of such variations, if any, that
the Shop Drawing or Sample submitted may have from the requirements of the Contract
Documents, such notice to be in a written communication separate from the submittal; and, in
addition, shall cause a specific notation to be made on each Shop Drawing and Sample submitted
to Engineer for review and approval of each such variation.
The Contractor shall maintain a submittal log as mentioned in Article 2.5. The Engineer shall
receive updated copies at each progress meeting, and the Engineer shall respond to each
submittal within fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days. The Contractor shall maintain a
request for information (RFI) log as mentioned in Article 2.5. The Engineer shall receive updated

items covered by the submittals will, after installation or incorporation in the Work, conform to
the information given in the Contract Documents and be compatible with the design concept of
the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated the Contract Documents. Engineer's
review and approval will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of
construction (except where a particular means method, technique, sequence or procedure of
SECTION III
Page 18 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016
SECTION III — General Conditions
construction is specifically and expressly called for by the Contract Documents) or to safety
precautions or programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will
not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. Contractor shall make
corrections required by Engineer, and shall return the required number of corrected copies of
Shop Drawings and submit as required new Samples for review and approval. Contractor shall
direct specific attention in writing to revisions other than the corrections called for by Engineer
on previous submittals.
Engineer's review and approval of Shop Drawings or Samples shall not relieve Contractor from
responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless
Contractor has in writing called Engineer's attention to each such variation at the time of
submission and Engineer has given written approval of each such variation by specific written
notation thereof incorporated in or accompanying the Shop Drawing or Sample approval; nor
will any approval by the Engineer relieve the Contractor from responsibility for complying with
the requirements of paragraph above discussing field measurements by the Contractor.
Contractor shall furnish required submittals with complete information and accuracy in order to
achieve required approval of an item within two (2) submittals. Owner's Representative reserves
the right to backcharge Contractor, for Engineer's costs for resubmittals that account for a
number greater than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of first time submittals, per the
approved initial submittal log. Owner's Representative reserves the right to backcharge
Contractor for all third submittals. The number of first time submittals shall be equal to the
number of submittals agreed to by Engineer and Contractor. All costs to Engineer involved with
subsequent submittal of Shop Drawings, Samples or other items requiring approval will be
backcharged to Contractor at the rate of 3.0 times direct technical labor cost by deducting such
costs from payments due Contractor for Work completed. In the event that Contractor requests a
substitution for a previously approved item, all of Engineer's costs in the reviewing and approval
of the substitution will be backcharged to Contractor, unless the need for such substitution is
beyond the control of Contractor.

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 Bond to be given to a surety, the giving of any such notice will be Contractor's
responsibility, and the amount of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly.
11. CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
11.1. CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to authorized adjustments)
payable to Contractor for performing the Work. All duties, responsibilities and obligations
assigned to or undertaken by Contractor shall be at Contractor's expense without change in the
Contract Price. The Contract Price may only be adjusted by a Change Order or by a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be based on a written notice
of claim stating the general nature of the claim, to be delivered by the party making the claim to
the other party and to Owner's Representative or promptly (but in no event later than thirty days)
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 III — Genera{ 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

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!!!
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. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as
previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called for in the Contract Documents, including
but not limited to the evidence of insurance required by paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, and
(ii) executed consent of the surety to final payment using the form contained in Section V of the
Contract Documents.
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
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.
15. SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
15.1. OWNER MAY SUSPEND THE WORK
At any time and without cause, Owner's Representative may suspend the Work or any portion
thereof for a period of not more than ninety (90) days by notice in writing to Contractor, which
will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work on the date
so fixed. Contractor shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to any such suspension if Contractor makes an
approved claim therefore as provided in the articles for Change of Contract Price and Change of
Contract Time.
15.2. OWNER MAY TERMINATE
Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events; if Contractor persistently fails
to perform the work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to,
failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere
to the progress schedule as adjusted from time to time);
if Contractor disregards Laws and Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
if Contractor disregards the authority of Owner's Representative;
if Contractor otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the Contract
Documents; or if the Work to be done under this Contract is abandoned, or if this
Contract or any part thereof is sublet, without the previous written consent of the
Owner, or if the Contract or any claim thereunder is assigned by Contractor otherwise
than as herein specified, or at any time Owner's Representative certifies in writing to
the Owner that the rate of progress of the Work or any part thereof is unsatisfactory or
that the work or any part thereof is unnecessarily or unreasonably delayed.
The Owner may, after giving Contractor (and the surety, if any), seven days' written notice and,
to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of Contractor, exclude
Contractor from the site and take possession of the Work and of all Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent
they could be used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for trespass or conversion),
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which the Owner has
paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as the Owner may deem
expedient. In such case Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and
SECTION III Page 39 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016
SECTION III —General Conditions
damages sustained by the Owner arising out of or resulting from completing the Work such
excess will be paid to Contractor.
If such claims, costs, losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the
difference to the Owner. Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by the Owner will be
reviewed by Owner's Representative as to their reasonableness and when so approved by
Owner's Representative incorporated in a Change Order, provided that when exercising any
rights or remedies under this paragraph the Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest price
for the Work performed.
Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by the Owner, the termination will not
affect any rights or remedies of the Owner against Contractor then existing or which may
thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by the Owner will not
release Contractor from liability.
Upon seven (7) days' written notice to Contractor and Owner's Representative, the Owner may,
without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Owner, elect to terminate
the Agreement. In such case, Contractor shall be paid (without duplication of any items):
for completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract
Documents prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable
sums for overhead and profit on such Work;
for expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services
and furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such expenses;
for all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts
with Subcontractors, Suppliers and others; and for reasonable expenses directly
attributable to termination.
Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other
economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.3. 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. The provisions of this article are not
intended to preclude Contractor from making claim under paragraphs for Change of Contract

Contractor's stopping Work as permitted by this article.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

resolving disputes between them that may arise under this Agreement, such dispute resolution
method and procedure will proceed. If no such agreement on the method and procedure for
resolving such disputes has been reached, subject to the provisions of the article for Decisions on
Disputes, the Owner and Contractor may exercise such rights or remedies as either may
otherwise have under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any
dispute provided, however, that nothing herein shall require a dispute to be submitted to binding
arbitration.

SECTION III Page 42 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016
SECTION III — General Conditions
tax, even if the actual cost is in excess of the cost for the materials or equipment as -bid by the
Contractor. For purposes of calculating engineering fees, contractor fees, architects fees, and any
other amounts that are based on the contract amount, however, the original, as -bid contract
amount shall be used.
Direct purchase shall be considered for single items or materials that exceed $10,000 in value

and a copy sent to the Contractor.
Notwithstanding the transfer of ODP materials or equipment by the Owner to the Contractor's
possession, the Owner shall retain legal and equitable title to any and all ODP materials or
equipment; therefore, the owner assumes the risk of damage or loss at the time of purchase or
delivery of items, unless material is damaged as the result of negligence by the Contractor.
21.3. CONTRACTOR'S RECEIPT OF MATERIALS
The Contractor shall be fully responsible for all matters relating to the receipt of materials or
equipment furnished to the Owner including, but not limited to, verifying correct quantities,
verifying documents of orders in a timely manner, coordinating purchases, providing and
obtaining all warranties and guarantees required by the Contract Documents, and inspection and
acceptance of the goods at the time of delivery. The Owner shall coordinate with Contractor and
Vendor delivery schedules, sequence of delivery, loading orientation, and other arrangements
normally required by the Contractor for the particular materials or equipment furnished. The
Contractor shall provide all services required for the unloading and handling of materials or
equipment. The Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Owner from any and all
claims of whatever nature resulting from non-payment of goods to suppliers arising from the
action of the Contractor.
As ODP materials or equipment are delivered to the job site, the Contractor shall visually inspect
all shipments from the suppliers, and approve the vendor's invoice for items delivered. The
Contractor shall assure that each delivery of ODP materials or equipment is accompanied by
documentation adequate to identify the Purchase Order against which the purchase is made. This
documentation may consist of a delivery ticket and/or an invoice from the supplier conforming to
the Purchase Order together with such additional information as the Owner may require. The
Contractor will then forward an electronic copy of the invoice and supporting documentation to
the Owner for payment within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of said goods or materials.
Such payment shall be directly from public funds, from Owner to Vendor.
The Contractor shall insure that ODP materials or equipment conform to the Specifications and
determine prior to acceptance of goods at time of delivery if such materials or equipment are
patently defective, and whether such materials or equipment are identical to the materials or
equipment ordered and match the description on the bill of lading. If the Contractor discovers
defective or non -conformities in ODP materials or equipment upon such visual inspection, the
SECTION III Page 43 of 50 Updated 6/3/2016
SECTION III — General Conditions
Contractor shall not utilize such nonconforming or defective materials or equipment in the
Contractor's Work and instead shall properly notify the Owner of the defective or nonconforming
condition so that repair or replacement of those materials or equipment can occur without undue
delay or interruption to the Project. If the Contractor fails to perform such inspection and
otherwise incorporates into the Contractor's Work such defective or nonconforming ODP
materials or equipment, the condition of which it either knew or should have known by
performance of an inspection, Contractor shall be responsible for all damages to the Owner,
resulting from Contractor's incorporation of such materials or equipment into the Project,
including liquidated damages.
21.4. ODP RECORDS, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION
The Contractor shall maintain records of all ODP materials or equipment it incorporates into
Contractor's Work from the stock of ODP materials or equipment in its possession. The
Contractor shall account monthly to the Owner for any ODP materials or equipment delivered
into the Contractor's possession, indicating portions of all such materials or equipment which
have been incorporated in the Contractor's Work.
The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining and managing all warranties and guarantees for
all materials, equipment and products as required by the Contract Documents. All repair,
maintenance, or damage -repair calls shall be forwarded to the Contractor for resolution with the
appropriate supplier, vendor, or subcontractor.
The Owner shall indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from any sales tax (and interest and
penalties incurred in connection therewith) in the event there is a final determination that
purchases made by Owner, which Owner treats as being exempt from sales tax, are subject to
sales tax. "Final determination" shall mean an assessment by the Department of Revenue that is
no longer subject to protest, or a determination of a court having jurisdiction over such matters
that is final and not subject to appeal. Contractor agrees to promptly notify owner of any audit,
assessment, proposed assessment or notice of deficiency issued with regard to the Project and
relating to ODP materials or equipment. ODP Purchase Orders must be closed out prior to
closing out the contract/Contractor Purchase Order. If material costs needed for project exceed
the ODP Purchase Order amount, the ODP Purchase Order will not be increased. Amounts in
excess of the ODP Purchase Order will be paid for by the Contractor.

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 OSI -IA 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.

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

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.

SECTION IV — Technical Specifications
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.
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.

SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
a. Furnish, put in place, and maintain sheeting and bracing as required to
support the sides of excavations, to prevent movement which could in
any way diminish the width of the excavation below that necessary for
proper construction, and to protect adjacent structures, and to protect
workers from hazardous conditions or other damage. Such support shall
consist of braced steel sheet piling, braced wood lagging and soldier
beams or other approved methods. If the Owner is of the opinion that
sufficient or proper supports have not been provided, he may order
additional supports be installed at the expense of the Contractor, and
compliance with such order shall not relieve or release the Contractor
from his responsibility for the sufficiency of such supports. Care shall be
taken to prevent voids beside the sheeting, but if voids are formed,
they shall be immediately filled and compacted. Where soil cannot be
properly compacted to fill a void, lean concrete shall be used as backfill
at no additional expense to the Owner.
b. The Contractor shall construct sheeting outside the neat lines of the
foundation unless another configuration is desirable for his method of
operation. Sheeting shall be plumb and securely braced and tied in
position. Sheeting and bracing shall withstand all pressure to which the
structure or trench will be subjected. Any deformation shall be
corrected by the Contractor at his own expense so as to provide the
necessary clearances and dimensions.
c. Where sheeting and bracing is required for construction, the Contractor
shall engage a Professional Geotechnical Engineer, registered in the
State of Florida, to design the sheeting and bracing. The sheeting and
bracing installed shall conform with the design, and certification of this
shall be provided by the Professional Geotechnical Engineer.
d. The installation of sheeting, particularly by driving or vibrating, may
cause distress to existing structures. The Contractor shall evaluate the
potential for such distress and, if necessary, take all precautions to
prevent distress of existing structures because of sheeting installation.
e. The Contractor shall leave in place to be embedded in the backfill, all
sheeting and bracing not shown on the Drawings but which the Owner
directs him in writing to leave in place at any time during the progress
of the work for the purpose of preventing injury to structures, utilities,
or property, whether public or private. The Owner may direct that
timber used for sheeting and bracing be cut off at any specified
elevation.
f. All sheeting and bracing not left in place shall be carefully removed in
such manner as not to endanger the construction, or other structures,
utilities, or property. All voids left or caused by withdrawal of sheeting
JRW jab/specs/s-1/02200
Tt #200-41125-16004 02200-5 022817
g.
SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
shall be immediately refilled with sand by ramming with tools especially
adapted for that purpose, or otherwise directed by the Owner.
The right of the Owner to order sheeting and bracing left in place shall
not be construed as creating any obligation on his part to issue such
orders, and his failure to exercise his right to do so shall not relieve the
Contractor from liability for damages to persons or property occurring
from or upon the work occasioned by negligence or otherwise, growing
out of a failure on the part of the Contractor to leave in place sufficient
sheeting and bracing to prevent any caving or moving of the ground.
h. No wood sheeting is to be withdrawn if driven below mid -diameter of
any pipe, and under no circumstances shall any wood sheeting be cut
off at a level lower than one (1) foot above the top of any pipe.
2. Pumping and Drainage
a. The Contractor shall at all times during construction provide and
maintain proper equipment and facilities to remove all water entering
excavations, and shall keep such excavations dry so as to obtain a
satisfactory undisturbed subgrade foundation condition until the fills,
structures or pipes to be built thereon have been completed to such
extent that they will not be floated or otherwise damaged by allowing
water levels to return to natural levels as stipulated in Section 02140.
The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for review a plan for
dewatering systems prior to commencing work. The installed
dewatering system shall be in conformity with the overall construction
plan. The Contractor shall be required to monitor the performance of
the dewatering systems during the progress of the work and require
such modifications as may be required to assure that the systems are
performing satisfactorily.
b. Dewatering shall at all times be conducted in such a manner as to
preserve the undisturbed bearing capacity of the subgrade soils at the
bottom of the excavation and to preserve the integrity of adjacent
structures. Well or sump installations shall be constructed with proper
sand filters to prevent intermixing of finer grained soil from the
surrounding ground.
c. Water entering the excavation from surface runoff shall be collected in
shallow ditches around the perimeter of the excavation, drained to
sumps, and pumped from the excavation to maintain a bottom free
from standing water.
d. The Contractor shall take all additional precautions to prevent buoyant
uplift of any structure during construction.

accidental discharge of fuel, oil, etc. in order to prevent adverse effects
on groundwater quality.
3.02 EXCAVATION
A. General
1. Excavation consists of removal, storage and disposal, if necessary, of material
encountered when establishing required grade elevations and in accordance
with the notes shown in the Drawings.
2. Authorized earth excavation includes removal and disposal of pavements and
other obstructions visible on ground surface, underground structures and
utilities indicated to be demolished and removed, and other materials
encountered that are not classified as rock excavation or unauthorized
excavation.
3. Unauthorized excavation consists of removal of material beyond the limits
needed to establish required grade and subgrade elevations without specific
direction of the Engineer. Unauthorized excavation, as well as remedial work
shall be at the Contractor's expense. Backfill and compact unauthorized
excavations as specified for authorized excavations of same classification,
unless otherwise specified or directed by the Engineer.
4. When excavation has reached required subgrade elevations, make an
inspection of conditions. If the material is unsuitable or has clay and/or organic
material, and if authorized by Engineer to remove, carry excavation deeper and
J R W/a b/s pecs/s-1/02200
Tt #200-41125-16004 02200-7 022817
SECTION IVa —Supplemental Technical Specifications
replace excavated material with Bedding Rock. Removal and replacement of
unsuitable subgrade material, as directed by the Engineer, will be paid for as
extra work by unit prices established in the Bid Form.
5. If the Contractor excavates below grade through error or for his own
convenience or through failure to properly dewater the excavation or disturbs
the subgrade before dewatering is sufficiently complete, he may be directed by
the Engineer to excavate below grade as set forth in the preceding paragraph,
in which case the work of excavating below grade and finishing and placing the
refill shall be performed at his own expense.
6. Stockpile satisfactory excavated materials at a location approved by the
Engineer until required for backfill or fill. Stockpiles shall be placed and graded
for proper drainage. All soil materials shall be located away from the edge of
excavations. Excess soil materials shall be disposed of by the Contractor.
B. Trench Excavation
1. Excavation for all trenches required for the installation of pipes shall be made to
the depths indicated on the Drawings and in such a manner and to such widths
as will give suitable room for laying the pipe within the trenches, for bracing
and supporting and for pumping and drainage facilities. The bottom of the
excavations shall be firm and dry.
2. Excavation shall not exceed normal trench width. Normal trench width is
defined as indicated on the Drawings. Any excavation which exceeds the
normal trench width, shall require special backfill requirements as determined
by the Engineer.
3. Rock shall be removed to provide at least eight inches clearance around the
bottom and sides of the pipe being laid.
4. Where pipe is to be laid in Bedding Rock or encased in concrete, the trench may
be excavated to or just below the designated subgrade provided that the
material remaining in the bottom of the trench is no more than slightly
disturbed.
5. Where the pipes are to be laid directly on the trench bottom, the lower part of
the trenches shall not be excavated to grade by machinery. Manually trim and
shape trench bottom to receive pipe at correct line and grade. Shape trench to
provide a uniform, continuous support along the entire length of the barrel of
each pipe section. Hand -shape firm unyielding bedding so that the bottom
segment will be in continuous contact with the pipe barrel.

inspected and approved. If sufficient Common Fill material is not available from
excavation on site, the Contractor shall provide borrow as required.
2. Fill shall be brought up in substantially level lifts not exceeding 8 inches in
depth. The entire surface of the work shall be maintained free from ruts and in
such condition that construction equipment can readily travel over any section.
Fill shall not be placed against concrete structures until they have attained
sufficient strength.
3. During the process of placing fill, all roots, debris and stones greater in size than
specified herein shall be removed from the fill areas and the Contractor shall
assign a sufficient number of employees to this work to insure satisfactory
compliance with these requirements.
4. If the compacted surface of any layer of material is determined to be too
smooth to bond properly with the succeeding layer, it shall be loosened by
harrowing or by another approved method before the succeeding layer is
placed.
5. All fill materials shall be placed and compacted "in -the -dry". The Contractor
shall dewater excavated areas as required to perform the work in such a
manner that will preserve the undisturbed state of the natural soils. The
Contractor shall not claim excavated material as unsuitable due to moisture
content. The Contractor shall sufficiently dewater excavated materials for use
as backfill.
6. Prior to filling, the ground surface shall be prepared by removing vegetation,
debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and deleterious materials.
Plow strip or break up sloped surfaces steeper than one vertical to four
horizontal so that fill material will bond with the existing surface.
7. Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide the
optimum moisture content. Compact each layer to required percentage of
maximum dry density or relative dry density for each classification.
B. Bedding and Backfilling for Pipes
1. Bedding for pipe shall be as shown on the Drawings. The Contractor shall take
all precautions necessary to maintain the bedding in a compacted state and to
prevent washing, erosion or loosening of this bed.
2. Backfilling over and around pipes shall begin as soon as practicable after the
pipe has been laid, jointed and inspected and the trench filled with suitable

material to the mid -diameter of the pipe. All backfilling shall be prosecuted
expeditiously and as detailed on the Drawings.
3. After the pipe is laid to line and grade, place and carefully compact pipe
bedding material for the full width of the trench to the springline of the pipe.
Place the material around the pipe in 6 -inch layers and thoroughly hand tamp
with approved tamping equipment supplemented by "walking in" and slicing
with a shovel to assure that all voids are filled. Place backfill in 6 -inch layers and
carefully compact the area above the pipe springline with pipe cover material to
a point 12 inches above the top outside surface of the pipe barrel. Pipe bedding
material may, at the Contractor's option, be substituted for pipe cover material.
The backfilling shall be carried up evenly on both sides of the pipe. The
remainder of the trench backfill shall then be filled and thoroughly compacted
in uniform layers not exceeding 12 inches in depth.
C. Backfill around structures shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding 8 inches in
depth. Backfill material shall be Common Fill meeting requirements set forth in
Paragraph 2.01. All backfill shall be placed and compacted "in -the -dry." Backfill
operations around structures shall not be started until the concrete has attained
sufficient strength to resist the loads imposed by the backfill material.
3.04 COMPACTION
A. General
1. The Contractor shall control soil compaction during construction to provide the
densities specified. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the
Engineer in writing that compaction tests can be performed. Written notice
from the Contractor shall precede completion of compaction operations by at
least two (2) working days.
2. Material which is too wet shall be spread over the fill area and permitted to dry,
assisted by harrowing if necessary, until the moisture content is reduced to
allowable limits. If added moisture is required, water shall be applied to
provide a satisfactory moisture content. If too much water is added, the area
shall be permitted to dry before compaction is continued. The Contractor shall
supply all hose, piping, valves, sprinklers, pumps, sprinkler tanks, hauling
equipment and other materials and equipment necessary to place water in the
fill in the manner specified.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION (NOT USED)
3.02 PROTECTION
A. Sheeting and Bracing:
1. The Contractor may, at his option, furnish steel sheeting and bracing to support
the sides of excavations, to prevent movement which could in any way diminish
the width of the excavation below that necessary for proper construction, and
to protect adjacent structures, and to protect workers from hazardous
conditions or other damage. Such support shall consist of braced steel sheet
piling. If the Owner is of the opinion that sufficient or proper supports have not
been provided, he may order additional supports be installed at the expense of
the Contractor, and compliance with such order shall not relieve or release the
Contractor from his responsibility for the sufficiency of such supports. Care shall
J R W /a b/specs/s-1/0 2 2 2 0
Tt#200-41125-16004 02220-5 022817
SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
be taken to prevent voids beside the sheeting, but if voids are formed, they
shall be immediately filled and compacted. Where soil cannot be properly
compacted to fill a void, lean concrete shall be used as backfill at no additional
expense to the Owner.
2. The Contractor shall construct sheeting outside the neat lines of the foundation
unless deemed otherwise for his method of operation. Sheeting shall be plumb.
Sheeting and bracing shall withstand all pressure to which the structure or
trench will be subjected. Any deformation shall be corrected by the Contractor
at his own expense so as to provide the necessary clearances and dimensions.
3. Where sheeting and bracing is required to support the sides of excavations for
structures, the Contractor shall engage a Professional Structural Engineer,
registered in the State of Florida, to design the sheeting and bracing. The
sheeting and bracing installed shall conform with the design, and certification
shall be provided by the Professional Structural Engineer.
4. The installation of sheeting, particularly by driving or vibrating, may cause
distress to existing structures. The Contractor shall evaluate the potential for
such distress and, if necessary, take all precautions to prevent distress of
existing structures because of sheeting installation.
5. Owner may direct the Contractor in writing to leave in place sheeting at any
time, during the progress of the work for the purpose of preventing injury to
structures, utilities, or property, whether public or private.
6. All sheeting and bracing not left in place shall be carefully removed in such
manner as not to endanger the construction, or other structures, utilities, or
property. All voids left or caused by withdrawal of sheeting shall be
immediately refilled with sand by ramming with tools especially adapted for
that purpose, or otherwise directed by the Owner.
7. The right of the Owner to order sheeting and bracing left in place shall not be
construed as creating any obligation on his part to issue such orders, and his
failure to exercise his right to do so shall not relieve the Contractor from liability
for damages to persons or property occurring from or upon the work
occasioned by negligence or otherwise, growing out of a failure on the part of
the Contractor to leave in place sufficient sheeting and bracing to prevent any
caving or moving of the ground.
B. Pumping and Drainage:
1. The Contractor shall at all times during construction provide and maintain
proper equipment and facilities to remove all water entering excavations, and
shall keep such excavations dry so as to obtain a satisfactory undisturbed
subgrade foundation condition until the fills, structures or pipes to be built
thereon have been completed to such extent that they will not be floated or

SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
otherwise damaged by allowing water levels to return to natural levels as
stipulated in Section 02140. The Contractor shall engage a Professional
Geotechnical Engineer registered in the State of Florida, to design the
dewatering systems for all structures. The Contractor shall submit to the
Engineer for review a plan for dewatering systems and recharge systems prior
to commencing work. The installed dewatering system shall be in conformity
with the overall construction plan, and certification of this shall be provided by
the Professional Geotechnical Engineer. The Professional Geotechnical Engineer
shall be required to monitor the performance of the dewatering systems during
the progress of the work and require such modifications as may be required to
assure that the systems are performing satisfactorily.
2. Dewatering shall at all times be conducted in such a manner as to preserve the
undisturbed bearing capacity of the subgrade soils at the bottom of the
excavation and to preserve the integrity of adjacent structures. Well or sump
installations shall be constructed with proper sand filters to prevent intermixing
of finer grained soil from the surrounding ground.
3. Water entering the excavation from surface runoff shall be collected in shallow
ditches around the perimeter of the excavation, drained to sumps, and pumped
from the excavation to maintain a bottom free from standing water.
4. The Contractor shall take all additional precautions to prevent buoyant uplift of
any structure during construction.
5. The conveying of dewatered liquids in open ditches or trenches will not be
allowed. Permission to use any storm sewers, or drains, for water disposal
purposes shall be obtained from the authority having jurisdiction. Any
requirements and costs for such use shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor. The Contractor shall not cause flooding by overloading or blocking
up the flow in the drainage facilities, and he shall leave the facilities
unrestricted and as clean as originally found. Any damage to facilities shall be
repaired or restored as directed by the Owner or the authority having
jurisdiction, at no cost to the Owner.
6. Flotation shall be prevented by the Contractor by maintaining a positive and
continuous operation of the dewatering system. The Contractor shall be fully
responsible and liable for all damages which may result from failure of this
system.
7. Removal of dewatering equipment shall be accomplished after the system is no
longer required; the material and equipment constituting the system, shall be
removed by the Contractor.
8. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to preclude the accidental
discharge of fuel, oil, etc. in order to prevent adverse effects on groundwater
quality.

provide adequate working space and clearances for the work to be performed
therein and for installation and removal of concrete forms. In no case shall
excavation faces be undercut for extended footings.
2. Excavation shall be made to such dimensions as will give suitable room for
bracing and supporting, for pumping and draining, for installing the pipelines,
and for all other work required.
a) Excavation for precast or prefabricated structures shall be carried to an
elevation two (2) feet lower than the proposed outside bottom of the
structure to provide space for the backfill material.
b) Excavation for structures constructed or cast -in-place in dewatered or
dry excavations shall be carried down to the 2 -feet below the bottom of
the structure where dewatering methods are such that a dry evacuation
bottom is exposed and the naturally occurring material at this elevation
leveled and left ready to receive construction. Material disturbed below
the founding elevation in dewatered excavations shall be replaced with
Class B concrete.
3. Immediately document the location, elevation, size, material type and function
of all new subsurface installations, and utilities encountered during the course
of construction.
4. Excavation equipment operators and other concerned parties shall be familiar
with subsurface obstructions as shown on the Drawings and should anticipate
the encounter of unknown obstructions during the course of the work.
5. Encounters with subsurface obstructions shall be hand excavated.
6. Excavation and dewatering shall be accomplished by methods which preserve
the undisturbed state of subgrade soils. Subgrade soils which become soft,
loose, "quick" or otherwise unsatisfactory for support of structures as a result
of inadequate dewatering or other construction methods, shall be undercut a
minimum of 12" and replaced with FDOT No. 57 Stone as required by the
Engineer at the Contractor's expense.

damage resulting from his failure to do so.
D. The Contractor will be required at his expense to excavate below grade and refill with
approved fill material if the Owner determines that adequate drainage has not been
provided.
3.05 UNDERCUT
A. If the bottom of any excavation is below that shown on the Drawings or specified
because of Contractor error, convenience, or unsuitable subgrade due the Contractor's
excavation methods, he shall refill to normal grade with fill at his own cost. FiII material
and compaction method shall be as directed by the Engineer.
3.06 STABILIZATION
A. Subgrades for concrete structures and trench bottoms shall be firm dense, and
thoroughly compacted and consolidated; shall be free from mud and muck; and shall be
sufficiently stable to remain firm and intact.

C. All stabilization work shall be performed by and at the expense of the Contractor.
3.07 FILL AND COMPACTION
A. Materials:
1. To the maximum extent available, excess earth obtained from structure and
trench excavation shall be used for the construction of fills and embankments.
2. Materials used as backfill shall be free from rocks or stones larger than 2 inches
in their greatest dimension; brush, stumps, Togs, roots, debris, and organic or
other deleterious materials; and must be acceptable to the Engineer.
3. Backfilling and construction of fills and embankments during freezing weather
shall not be done except by permission of the Engineer. No backfill, fill, or
embankment materials shall be installed on frozen surfaces, nor shall frozen
materials be in any backfill, fill or embankment.
B. Placement and Compaction:

elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
E. Excavations shall be backfilled to the original grade or as indicated on the Drawings.
Deviation from this grade because of settling shall be corrected. Backfill operation shall
be performed to comply with all rules and regulations and in such a manner that it does
not create a nuisance or safety hazard.
F. Embankments shall be constructed true to lines, grades and cross sections shown on
the plans or ordered by the Owner. Embankments shall be placed in successive layers of
not more than 8 inches in thickness, loose measure, for the full width of the
embankment. As far as practicable, traffic over the work during the construction phase
shall be distributed so as to cover the maximum surface area of each layer.
G. If the Contractor requests approval to backfill material utilizing lifts and/or methods
other than those specified herein, such request shall be in writing to the Engineer.
Approval will be considered only after the Contractor has performed tests, at the
Contractor's expense, to identify the material used and density achieved throughout
the backfill area utilizing the method of backfill requested. The Engineer's approval will
be in writing.
H. Foundation Preparation
1. The existing ground beneath proposed tankage, building foundations and
equipment base slabs and slabs on grade shall be removed and the area proof -
rolled. Proof -rolling should consist of at least 10 passes of a self-propelled
vibratory roller that impacts a dynamic force of not less than 40,000 pounds per
drum to the soils. To minimize the effects of compaction induced vibrations on
adjacent existing structures the compaction operation should be limited to a
distance no closer than 25 -feet from the existing structures. Each pass should
overlap the preceding pass by 30 percent to insure complete coverage.
Backfilled areas shall be compacted in 8 -inch layers to a density of not less than
95 percent of Modified Proctor Dry Density as determined by ASTM D1557
(latest edition) for a depth of not less than 2 -feet below the bottom of the
foundations or concrete slabs. Any unsuitable foundation material shall be
removed and replaced with suitable material.
2. Slabs On Grade: Subgrades for concrete slabs shall be removed, backfilled, and
compacted to the required grade. The top 2 -feet of concrete slab subgrade in
cut sections and all fill material shall be compacted in 8 -inch layers to a density
of not less than 95 percent of Modified Proctor Dry Density as determined by
ASTM D1557, (latest edition).

A. The Contractor shall not open more trench in advance of pipe laying than is necessary
to expedite the work. Four hundred (400) feet shall be the maximum length of open
trench on any line under construction. All trench excavation shall be open cut from the
surface.
1. Alignment, Grade, and Minimum Cover: The alignment and grade or elevation
of each pipeline shall be fixed and determined from offset stakes. Vertical and
horizontal alignment of pipes, and the maximum joint deflection used in
connection therewith shall be in conformity with requirements of the section
covering installation of pipe.
2. Where pipe grades or elevations are not definitely fixed by the contract
drawings, trenches shall be excavated to a depth sufficient to provide a
minimum depth of backfill cover over the top of the pipe of 42 inches where in
paved or graded streets where surface grades are definitely established and 36
inches in other locations. Greater pipe cover depths may be necessary on
vertical curves or to provide necessary clearance beneath existing pipes
conduits, drains, drainage structures, or other obstructions encountered at
normal pipe grades. Measurement of pipe cover depth shall be made vertically
from the outside top of pipe to finished ground or pavement surface elevation.
B. Limiting Trench Widths:
1. Trenches shall be excavated to a width which will provide adequate working
space and sidewall clearances for proper pipe installation, jointing, and
embedment. However, minimum permissible sidewall clearances between the
installed pipe and each trench wall, expressed in inches, shall be as follows:
Minimum
Pipe Size Sidewall Clearance
60 24
54 21
48 19
36 or smaller 12
2. Stipulated minimum sidewall clearances are not minimum average clearances
but are minimum clear distances which will be required.
3. Cutting trench banks on slopes to reduce earth Toad to prevent sliding and
caving will be permitted only in areas where the increased trench width will not
interface with surface features or encroach on right-of-way limits. Slopes shall

C. Mechanical Excavation:
1. The use of mechanical equipment will not be permitted in locations where its
operation would cause damage to trees, buildings, culverts, and other existing
property, utilities, or structures above or below ground. In all such locations,
hand excavating methods shall be used.
2. Mechanical equipment used for trench excavation shall be of the type, design,
and construction, and shall be so operated, that the rough trench excavation
bottom elevation can be controlled, that uniform trench widths and vertical
sidewalls are obtained at least from an elevation one foot above the top of the
installed pipe to the bottom of the trench, and that trench alignment is such
that pipe when accurately laid to specified alignment will be centered in the
trench with adequate clearance between the pipe and sidewalls of the trench.
Undercutting the trench sidewall to obtain clearance will not be permitted.
D. Pavement Cutting:
1. Cuts in concrete pavement, asphalt pavement, and asphalt base pavements
shall be no larger than necessary to provide adequate working space for proper
installation of pipe and appurtenances. Cutting shall be started with an asphalt
or concrete saw in a manner which will provide a clean groove for the full depth
of pavement along each side of the trench and along the perimeter of cuts for
structures.
2. Asphalt pavement and asphalt base pavement over trenches excavated for
pipelines shall be removed so that a shoulder not less than 6 inches in width at
any point is left between the cut edge of the pavement and the top edge of the
trench. Trench width at the bottom shall not be greater than at the top and no
undercutting will be permitted. Pavement cuts shall be made to and between
straight or accurately marked curved lines which, unless otherwise required,
shall be parallel to the centerline of the trench.
3. Pavement removed for connections to existing lines or structures shall not be
greater than necessary for the installation as determined by the Engineer.
E. Artificial Foundations in Trenches: Whenever so ordered by the Engineer, the
Contractor shall excavate to such depth below grade as the Engineer may direct and the
trench bottom shall be brought to grade with such material as the Engineer may order
installed. All piling, concrete, or other foundations made necessary by unstable soil shall
be installed as directed by the Engineer. Compensation for extra excavation and piling,
concrete, or other foundations, except where provided by contract unit prices, shall be
made in accordance with the contract provisions for extra work.
F. Bell Holes: Bell holes shall provide adequate clearance for tools and methods used in
installing pipe. No part of any bell or coupling shall be in contact with the trench
bottom, trench walls, or granular embedment when the pipe is jointed.

3.10 DRAINAGE
A. Trenches across roadways, driveways, walks, or other trafficways adjacent to drainage
ditches or water courses shall not be backfilled prior to completion of backfilling the
trench on the upstream side of the trafficway to prevent impounding water after the
pipe has been laid. Bridges and other temporary structures required to maintain traffic
across such unfilled trenches shall be constructed and maintained by the Contractor.
Backfilling shall be done so that water will not accumulate in unfilled or partially filled
trenches. All material deposited in roadway ditches or other water courses crossed by
the line of trench shall be removed immediately after backfilling is completed and the
original sections, grades, and contours of ditches or water courses shall be restored.
Surface drainage shall not be obstructed longer than necessary.
3.11 FINAL GRADING
A. After other outside work has been finished, and backfilling completed and settled, all
areas on the site of the work which are to be graded shall be brought to grade with the
tolerance of +/- 0.1 feet at the indicated elevations, slopes, and contours where seeding
or sodding is not required or, where sodding is required within three (3) inches of
finished grade. Use of graders or other power equipment will be permitted for final
grading and dressing of slopes, provided the result is uniform and equivalent to hand
work. All surfaces shall be graded to secure effective drainage. Unless otherwise shown,
a slope of at least one percent shall be provided.
B. After grading and where seeding is required, topsoil shall be evenly spread to a
minimum depth of six (6) inches. Topsoil shall be from an Engineer approved source and
shall be clear of trash, debris and surface vegetation more than six (6) inches in height.
C. Grading and surfacing shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

2.02 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
A. Use of Materials from Existing Base:
1. When the utilization of materials from an existing base is called for, (as all, or a
portion, of the stabilizing additives) the Engineer will direct the locations,
placing and distribution of such materials, and this work shall be done prior to
the spreading of any additional commercial or local materials. Removal of any
section of existing base will not be required until the need for it in maintaining
traffic is fulfilled.
2. The utilization of materials from an existing base may be called for in
combination with the designated type of stabilizing.
B. Commercial Materials:
1. General: Materials which are designated as Commercial Materials which are to

SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
4. Under this method, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility that the finished
roadbed section meets the bearing value requirements, regardless of the
quantity of stabilizing materials necessary to be added. Also under this method,
full payment will be made for any areas where the existing sub -grade materials
meet the design bearing value requirements without the addition of stabilizing
additives, as well as areas where the Contractor may elect to place select high -
bearing materials from other sources, within the limits of the stabilizing.
5. After the roadbed grading operations have been substantially completed, the
Contractor shall make his own determination as to the quantity (if any) of
stabilizing material, of the type selected by him, necessary for compliance with
the bearing value requirements. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of the
approximate quantity to be added, and the spreading and mixing in of such
quantity of materials shall meet the approval of the Engineer as to uniformity
and effectiveness.
2.03 QUALITY CONTROL (Manufacturer & Supplier product quality control specifics required for
project)
A. Material testing shall be performed as directed in Section 01410, Testing and Testing
Laboratory Services.
PART 3 - EXECUTION

A. General:
1. Prior to the beginning of stabilizing operations, the area to be stabilized shall
have been constructed to an elevation such that upon completion of stabilizing
operations the completed stabilized subgrade will conform to the lines, grades
and cross sections shown in the plans. Prior to the spreading of any additive
stabilizing material, the surface of the roadbed shall be bought to a plane
approximately parallel to the plane of the proposed finished surface.
2. The subgrade to be stabilized may be processed in one (1) course, unless the
equipment and methods being used do not provide the required uniformity,
particle size limitation, compaction and other desired results, in which case, the
Engineer will direct that the processing be done in more than one (1) course.
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Stabilizing Material:
1. When additive stabilizing materials are required, the designated quantity shall
be spread uniformly over the area to be stabilized.
J RW/ab/specs/s-1/02240
Tt #200-41125-16004 02240-3 022817
SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
2. When materials from an existing base are to be utilized in the stabilizing at a
particular location, all of such materials shall be placed and spread prior to the
addition of other stabilizing additives.
3. Commercial stabilizing material shall be spread by the use of mechanical
material spreaders except that where use of such equipment is not practicable
other means of spreading may be used, but only upon written approval of the
proposed alternate method.
B. Mixing:
1. The mixing shall be done with rotary tillers, or other equipment meeting the
approval of the Engineer. The area to be stabilized shall be thoroughly mixed
throughout the entire depth and width of the stabilizing limits.
2. The mixing operations, as specified, will be required regardless of whether the
existing soils, or any select soils placed within the limits of the stabilized
sections, have the required bearing value without the addition of stabilizing
materials.
3. As an exception to the above mixing requirements, where the subgrade is of
rock, the Engineer may direct that the mixing operations (and the work of
stabilizing) be waived and no payment for stabilization will be made for such
sections of the roadway.
C. Maximum Particle Size of Mixed Materials: At the completion of mixing, all particles of
material within the limits of the area to be stabilized shall pass a 3-1/2 inch ring. Any
particles not meeting this requirement shall be removed from the stabilized area or
shall be broken down so as to meet this requirement.
D. Compaction: After the mixing operations have been completed and requirements for
bearing value, uniformity and particle size have been satisfied, the stabilized area shall
be compacted, in accordance with Paragraph 3.03B., hereinafter. The materials shall be
compacted at a moisture content permitting the specified compaction. If the moisture
content of the material is improper for attaining the specified density, either water shall
be added or the material shall be permitted to dry until the proper moisture content for
the specified compaction is reached.
E. Finish Grading: The completed stabilized subgrade shall be shaped to conform with the
finished lines, grades and cross-section indicated in the Drawings. The subgrade shall
be checked by the use of elevation stakes, or other means approved by the Engineer.
F. Requirements for Condition of Completed Subgrade:

support construction equipment and will have the bearing value required by the
Drawings.
2. All safe and yielding material, and any other portions of the subgrade which will
not compact readily, shall be removed and replaced with suitable material and
the whole subgrade brought to line and grade, with proper allowance for
subsequent compaction.
G. Maintenance of Completed Subgrade: After the subgrade has been completed as
specified above, the Contractor shall maintain it free from ruts, depressions and any
damage resulting from the hauling or handling of materials, equipment, tools, etc. It
shall be the Contractor's responsibility to maintain the required density until the
subsequent base or pavement is in place. Such responsibility shall include any repairs,
replacement, etc. of curb and gutter, sidewalk, etc. which might become necessary in
order to recompact the subgrade in the event of underwash or other damage occurring
to the previously compacted subgrade. Any such work required for recompaction shall
be at the Contractor's expense. Ditches and drains shall be constructed and maintained
along the completed subgrade section.
3.03 INSPECTION AND TESTING (FIELD QUALITY CONTROL)
A. Bearing Value Requirements:
1. General: Bearing value samples will be obtained and tested by the Testing
Laboratory at completion of satisfactory mixing of the stabilized area. For any
area where the bearing value obtained is deficient from the value indicated in
the Drawings, in excess of the tolerances established herein, additional
stabilizing material shall be spread and mixed in accordance with Paragraphs
3.02A.3., 3.026.1. and 3.02B.2., herein. This reprocessing shall be done for the
full width of the roadway being stabilized and longitudinally for a distance of 50
feet beyond the limits of the area in which the bearing value is deficient.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION AND PRIMING
A. Cleaning the Base: Before any bituminous material is applied, remove to the shoulders
all loose material, dust, caked clay, and foreign material which might prevent proper
bond with existing surface. Take particular care to clean the outer edges of the strip to
be treated to insure that tack coat will adhere. Where the prime or tack coat is applied
adjacent to curb -and -gutter or valley gutter, such concrete surfaces are to be protected
and kept free of bituminous material.
3.02 WEATHER LIMITATIONS
A. Prime and Tack Coats: No bituminous material shall be applied when the air
temperature is Tess than 50 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) in the shade, or when the weather
conditions or the condition of the existing surface is unsuitable. In no case shall
bituminous material be applied while rain is falling or when there is water on the sur-
face to be covered.
B. Asphaltic Concrete Type S-1 (SP 12.5):
1. The mixture shall be spread only when the surface upon which it is to be laid
has been previously prepared, is intact, firm and properly cured, and is dry. Un-
less otherwise approved by the Engineer, no mixture shall be spread that
cannot be finished and compacted during daylight hours.
2. The mixture shall not be spread when the wind is blowing to such an extent that
proper and adequate compaction cannot be maintained or when sand, dust,
J R W/a b/s pecs/s-1/02500

SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
etc. are being deposited on the surface being paved, to the extent that the
bond between layers will be diminished.
3.03 APPLICATION OF PRIME COAT
A. After the base has been finished, the full width of surface shall be swept with a power
broom supplemented with hand brooms and mechanical blowers prior to the
application of the prime coat. Care shall be taken to remove all loose dust, dirt and
objectionable matter. If deemed necessary, the base shall be lightly sprinkled with
water immediately in advance of the prime coat. The prime coat shall be applied to the
full width of the base.
B. The temperature of the prime material shall be such as to insure uniform distribution.
The material shall be applied with a pressure distributor as specified above. The
amount to be applied shall be sufficient to coat the surface thoroughly and uniformly
without any excess to form pools or to flow off the base. For limerock base, the rate of
application shall not be less than 0.10 gallons per square yard; for shell base, the rate of
application shall not be less than 0.15 gallons per square yard.
C. If the roadway is to be opened for use following the application of the prime material, a
Tight uniform application of clean sand shall be applied and rolled. The sand shall be
nonplastic, shall be free from silt and rock particles and shall not contain any sticks,
vegetation, grass, roots or organic matter. After the sand covering has been applied,
the surface may be opened to traffic.
3.04 APPLICATION OF TACK COAT
A. In general, a tack coat will be used on primed bases except in areas where the prime
has not cured and lost its bonding effect.
B. No tack coat shall be applied until the primed base or leveling course has been cleaned
and is free from sand, dust, or other objectionable material.
C. The tack coat shall be applied with a pressure distributor as specified above. It shall be
heated to a suitable consistency and applied in a thin uniform layer at the rate of
between 0.02 gallons and 0.08 gallons per square yard.
D. The tack coat shall be applied sufficiently in advance of the laying of the wearing surface
to permit drying, but shall not be applied so far in advance or over such an area as to
lose its adhesiveness as a result of being covered with dust or other foreign material.
Suitable precautions shall be taken by the Contractor to protect the surface while the
tack coat is drying and until the wearing surface is applied.

removed and replaced with satisfactory mixture. In no case shall the
mixture be laid while rain is falling or when there is water on the
surface to be covered.
b. In limited areas where the use of the spreader is impossible or
impracticable, the mixture may be spread and finished by hand.
Straight -edging and back -patching shall be done after initial compaction
has been obtained and while the material is still hot.
4. Surface course materials upon arrival shall be dumped into the approved
mechanical spreader and immediately spread and struck -off to the full width
required and to such loose depth for each course that, when the work is
completed, the required weight of mixture per square yard, or specified
thickness, will be secured.
a. An excess amount of mixture shall be carried ahead of the screen at all
times. Hand raking shall be done behind the machine as required.

b. Where a surface course is constructed to a thickness greater than 2
inches, it shall be constructed in approximately equal layers and no
layer shall be more than 2 inches in thickness when compacted.
c. Before any rolling is started, the surface shall be checked, any
irregularities adjusted and all drippings, fat sandy accumulations from
the screen and fat spots from any source shall be removed and replaced
with satisfactory material. No skin patching shall be done. When a
depression is to be corrected while the mixture is hot, the surface shall
be well scarified before the addition of fresh mixture.
5. For each paving train in operation, the Contractor shall furnish a separate set of
rollers and operators. The rolling shall be done in the following sequence, with
the equipment as shown, unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer.
a. Seal rolling, using tandem steel rollers weighing 5 to 12 tons, and
following as close behind the spreaders as possible without pickup,
undue displacement or blistering of the material.
b. Rolling with self-propelled, pneumatic -tired rollers, following as close
behind the seal rolling as the mix will permit. The roller shall cover ev-
ery portion of the surface with at least five (5) passes.
c. Final rolling with the 8- to 12 -ton tandem steel roller is to be done after
the seal rolling and pneumatic -tired rolling have been completed, but
before the pavement temperature has dropped below 140°F.
Areas which are inaccessible to a roller shall be compacted by the use of hand tamps or
other satisfactory means.
6. The roller shall not be allowed to deposit gasoline, oil, or grease onto the
pavement and any areas damaged by such deposits shall be removed and
replaced as directed by the Engineer. While the rolling is in progress, the
surface shall be tested continuously and all discrepancies corrected to comply
with the surface requirements.
a. All drippings, fat or lean areas, and defective construction of any
description shall be removed and replaced. Depressions which develop
before the completion of the rolling shall be remedied by loosening the
mixture and adding new mixture to bring the depressions to a true
surface. Should any depression remain after the final compaction has
been performed, the material around the depression shall be replaced
with sufficient new mixture to form a true and even surface. All high
spots, high joints and honeycomb shall be corrected as directed by the
Engineer.

concrete shall be at least 95 percent of the laboratory compacted density of the
paving mixture, per ASTM 02950-81.
8. The final surface course will be required to be checked by the use of a rolling or
manual straightedge. As soon as the rolling has been completed and the
surface has hardened sufficiently to be walked on, the entire surface shall be
checked. The finished surface shall not vary more than 1/4 inch from the
template cut to the cross-section of the road nor more than 3/16 -inch from the
straightedge applied parallel to the center line of pavement. Any surface
irregularities exceeding these limits shall be corrected. In areas where a reverse
crown is used, the asphalt shall be placed so that the lip of the inlets within the
road have no more than 1/8" exposed. A maximum of %" above the rim will be
allowed.
9. The finished surface shall be of uniform texture and compaction. The surface
shall have no pulled, torn, or loosened portions and shall be free of sand
streaks, sand spots or ripples. (These requirements shall also apply to any areas
where it is necessary to apply hand work.)
10. Any areas which the surface does not meet above requirements for texture,
sand streaks, ripples, pulled or loosened portions, or for uniformity of
compaction; or does not meet the straight -edging requirements, shall be
corrected.
a. Such corrections may be made either by replacing the surface course
(to full depth) or by overlaying with the type of asphaltic concrete
mixture being placed.
b. Within the longitudinal limits where such defective areas occur, such
corrections shall be made for the full width of the roadway and for
longitudinal distances in both directions beyond such defective areas in
accordance with the following:
(1) If the correction is made by replacing the full thickness, it shall
extend to at least 50 feet each side of the defective area.

the overlay shall consist of at least 100 pounds of mixture per
square yard at the defective section, and shall taper uniformly
down from the full thickness of such weight to zero thickness at
the end of a minimum length of 50 feet each side of the
defective area.
(3)
The transverse thickness at any section shall be such as to
provide the design cross section.
(4) Sections of newly compacted asphalt concrete which are to be
covered by additional courses shall be kept clean until the
successive course is laid.
11. Upon completion of the finished pavement, no dumping of any material directly
on the pavement will be permitted. When shoulders are constructed after
completion of the final surface, blade graders operating adjacent to the
pavement during shoulder construction shall have a 2 -inch by 8 -inch (or larger)
board (or other attachment providing essentially the same results) attached to
their blades in such manner that it extends below the blade edge, in order to
protect the pavement surface from damage by the grader blade. Vehicular
traffic shall not be permitted on any pavement which has not set sufficiently to
prevent rutting or other distortion.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 HOT BITUMINOUS MIXTURES
A. Plant operations shall not begin unless all weather conditions are suitable for the laying
operations. The mixture shall be spread only when the surface upon which it is to be
laid has been previously prepared, is intact, firm and properly cured, and is dry. No
mixture shall be spread that cannot be finished and compacted during daylight hours.
The mixture shall be spread only when the air temperature (the temperature in the
shade away from artificial heat) is above 40°F and there is no evidence of frozen base.
The mixture shall not be spread when the wind is blowing to such an extent that proper
and adequate compaction cannot be maintained or when sand, dust, etc., are being
deposited on the surface being paved, to the extent that the bond between layers will
be diminished.
B. Mixing at the asphalt plant shall be sufficient to produce a thoroughly and uniformly
coated mixture. The ingredients of the mix shall be heated and combined in such a
manner as to produce a mixture, which shall be at a temperature, when discharged
from the pugmill or surge bin, within the range of 230°F to 310°F and within the
tolerance shown in the following table:
Temperature Tolerance From
Job Mix Formula
Any Single Measurement ±25°F
Average of Any Five Consecutive Measurements ±15°F
However, the temperature of the mixture, in all cases, shall be such that will yield an
asphalt Kinematic viscosity within the range of 280 and 150 centistokes. The mix
temperature will be taken at the plant on the first five loads each day and on an
average of once every five loads thereafter. Take corrective action if the temperature
fails to fall within the specified tolerance.

Tt #200-41125-16004 02513-5 022817
SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
C. The maximum time that any mix may be kept in a hot storage or surge bin is 72 hours.
Produce a homogeneous mixture, free from moisture and with no segregated materials,
that meets all requirements of the specifications for the mixture, including compliance
with the design limits. These requirements shall apply also to all mixes produced by the
drum mixer process and all mixes processed through a hot storage or surge bin, both
before and after storage.
D. The mixture shall be transported in tight vehicles previously cleaned of all foreign
material and each load shall be covered. The inside surface of the truck bodies shall be
thinly coated with soapy water or an emulsion containing not over five percent of oil.
Kerosene, gasoline or similar products shall not be used. After the truck bodies are
coated and before any mixture is placed therein, they shall be raised so that all excess
liquids will be drained out.
E. Prior to the laying of the mixture, the surface of the base or pavements to be covered
shall be cleaned of all loose and deleterious material by the use of power brooms or
blowers, supplemented by hand brooming where necessary.
F. Where a surface course is constructed on an existing pavement or old base which is
irregular, and wherever so indicated in the plans, the existing surface shall be brought
to proper grade and cross section by the application of patching or leveling courses. A
tack coat shall be required on existing pavements to be overlaid with an asphalt mix and
between successive layers of aII asphalt mixes, or whenever freshly primed bases have
cured to the point of which the asphaltic pavement may not bond adequately.
G. All asphaltic concrete mixtures (including leveling courses), other than adjacent to curb
and gutter or other true edges, shall be laid by the string -line method, to assure the
obtaining of an accurate, uniform alignment of the pavement edge. The temperature of
the mix at the time of spreading shall be within ±25°F of the actual mix temperature.
Take corrective action if the temperature range fails to fall within the specified
tolerance range. Any mixture caught in transit by a sudden rain may be laid at risk.
Should such mixture prove unsatisfactory, it shall be removed and replaced with
satisfactory mixture at no additional expense to the Owner. In no case shall the mixture
be laid while rain is falling or when there is water on the surface to be covered. The
forward speed of the spreader shall be as established by the manufacturer of the
equipment and sufficient for an even application. For each paving machine being
operated, a separate crew will be required; each crew operating as a full unit. The
depth of each layer shall be checked at frequent intervals of approximately 25 feet. Any
deviation below the design thickness as shown on the drawings shall be immediately
corrected. In limited areas where the use of the spreader is impossible or
impracticable, the mixture may be spread and finished by hand. Straight -edging and
back -patching shall be done after initial compaction has been obtained and while the
material is still hot.
H. For courses other than leveling, upon arrival, the mixture shall be dumped into a
mechanical spreader and immediately spread and struck -off to the full width required

and to such loose depth for each course that, when the work is completed, the required
weight of mixture per square yard, or the specified thickness, will be secured. An
excess amount of mixture shall be carried ahead of the screed at all times. Hand raking
shall be done behind the machine as required. If necessary due to the traffic
requirements, the mixture shall be laid in trips in such manner as to provide for the
passage of traffic. Where the road is closed to traffic, the mixture may be laid to the full
width, by machines traveling in echelon. Before any rolling is started the surface shall
be checked, any irregularities adjusted, and all drippings, fat sandy accumulations from
the screed, and fat spots from any source shall be removed and replaced with
satisfactory material. No skin patching shall be done. When a depression is to be
corrected while the mixture is hot, the surface shall be well scarified before the addition
of fresh mixture.
For leveling courses, all depressions in the existing surface more than one inch deep
shall be filled by spot patching with leveling course mixture and then thoroughly
compacted prior to spreading any leveling course. All leveling courses shall be placed
by the use of two motor graders (one of which is equipped with a spreader box) unless
otherwise shown in the plans. When the total asphalt mix provided for leveling exceeds
50 pounds per square yard, the mix shall be placed in two or more layers, with the
average spread of any layer not to exceed 50 pounds per square yard. The quantity of
mix for leveling shown in the plans represents the average for the entire project;
however, the rate of application may vary throughout the project. When leveling in
connection with base widening, all the leveling mix must be placed prior to the
widening operation. When a leveling course is specified to be placed over cracked
concrete pavement (including existing concrete pavement covered with an asphaltic
surface), the first layer of leveling shall be placed as soon as possible but no later than
48 hours after cracking the concrete. The remainder of the leveling course shall be
placed in the normal sequence of operations. Where a leveling course is to be placed
over existing concrete pavement or bridge decks, the excess joint filler in the cracks and
joints shall be trimmed flush with the surface prior to placing the first layer of the
leveling course.
J. For each paving or leveling train in operation, furnish a separate set of rollers, with their
operators. The following equipment, sequence and coverage are only suggested for use
based on past successful performance. Utilizing whatever equipment selected, the
sequence and coverage of rolling shall meet the minimum density requirements
specified:
1. Seal rolling by using tandem steel rollers weighing 5 to 12 tons, following as
close behind the spreaders as is possible without pick-up, undue displacement
or blistering of the material.
2. Rolling with self-propelled pneumatic -tired rollers, following as close behind the
seal rolling as the mix will permit. The roller shall cover every portion of the
surface with at least five passes.

Tt #200-41125-16004 02513-7 022817
SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
3. Final rolling with the 8- to 12 -ton tandem steel rollers, to be done after the seal
rolling and pneumatic -tired rolling have been completed, but before the
pavement temperature has dropped below 140°F.
K. The initial rolling shall be longitudinal. Where the lane being placed is adjacent to a
previously placed lane, the center joint shall be pinched or rolled, prior to the rolling of
the rest of the lane. After the rolling or pinching of the center joint, the rolling shall
continue across the mat by overlapping each previous roller path by at least one-half
the width of the roller wheel. The motion of the roller shall be slow enough to avoid
displacement of the mixture, and any displacement shall be corrected at once by the
use of rakes, and the addition of fresh mixture if required. Final rolling shall be
continued until all roller marks are eliminated. Rolling with the self-propelled,
pneumatic -tired rollers shall proceed at a speed of 6 to 10 miles per hour, and the area
covered by each roller shall not be more than 4000 square yards per hour.
1. A sufficient number of self-propelled pneumatic -tired rollers shall be used such
that the rolling of the surface for the required number of passes will not delay
any -other phase of the laying operation nor result in excessive cooling of the
mixture before the rolling is complete. In the event that the rolling falls behind,
the laying operation shall be discontinued until the rolling operations are
sufficiently caught up.
2. Areas which are inaccessible to a roller (such as areas adjacent to curbs,
headers„ gutters, bridges, manholes, etc.) shall be compacted by the use of
hand tamps or other satisfactory means.
3. Self-propelled pneumatic -tired rollers shall be used for the rolling of all patching
and leveling courses. Where the initial leveling course is placed over broken
concrete pavement, the pneumatic -tired roller shall weigh at least 15 tons. The
use of a steel -wheeled roller will be required on all passes after the first.
4. The rollers shall not be allowed to deposit gasoline, oil or grease onto the
pavement, and any areas damaged by such deposits shall be removed and
replaced. While rolling is in progress, the surface shall be tested continuously
and all discrepancies corrected to comply with the surface requirements. All
drippings, fat or lean areas and defective construction of any description shall
be removed and replaced. Depressions which develop before the completion
of the rolling shall be remedied by loosening the mixture and adding new
mixture to bring the depressions to a true surface. Should any depression
remain after the final compaction has been obtained, the full depth of the
mixture shall be removed and replaced with sufficient new mixture to form a
true and even surface. All high spots, high joints and honeycomb shall be
corrected. Any mixture remaining unbonded after rolling shall be removed and
replaced. Any mixture which becomes loose or broken, mixed or coated with
dirt or in any way defective, prior to laying the wearing course shall be removed
and replaced with fresh mixture which shall be immediately be compacted to
conform with the surrounding area. Areas of defective surface may be repaired

by the use of indirect heat. No method of repair involving open -flame heaters
shall be used.
L. Shoulder pavements wider than 5-1/2 feet shall be compacted by the use of equipment
of the type required for other asphaltic concrete pavements. Compaction of asphaltic
concrete 5-1/2 feet or less in width, shall be done by the use of tandem steel rollers not
exceeding 12 tons in weight. Other compaction in such restricted widths shall be by the
use of rubber -tired equipment.
M. The required density of a completed course shall be at least 94 percent of the
laboratory density.
N. Placing of the mixture shall be as continuous as possible and the roller shall not pass
over the unprotected end of the freshly laid mixture except when the laying operation
is to be discontinued long enough to permit the mixture to become chilled. When the
laying operation is thus interrupted, a transverse joint shall be constructed by cutting
back on the previous run to expose the full depth of the mat. Where only a portion of
the width of pavement is to be laid and opened to traffic, longitudinal joints shall be
formed by rolling the exposed edge of the strip first laid. When the adjacent strip is
constructed, the Engineer may require the edge of the mixture in place to be trimmed
back to expose an unsealed or granular vertical surface. Where the strip first laid is
closed to traffic, the edge shall not be sealed but shall be left vertical and the adjacent
strip placed against it without trimming.
O. When fresh mixture is laid against the exposed edges of joints (trimmed or formed as
provided above), it shall be placed in close contact with the exposed edge so that an
even, well -compacted joint will be produced after rolling.
P. A smooth surface shall be obtained on all pavement courses placed and all intermediate
and final courses shall be straight edged with a 15 -foot rolling straightedge. Provide a
15 -foot manual straightedge at the job site at all times during the paving operation for
checking joints and surface irregularities.
Q.
The finished surface shall be of uniform texture and compaction. The surface shall have
no pulled, torn, or loosened portions and shall be free of segregation, sand streaks,
sand spots, or ripples. Any area of the surface which does not meet the foregoing
requirements shall be corrected.
R. Acceptance testing shall consist of one pass of a standard 15 -foot rolling straightedge

of 3000 psi, in accordance with the applicable sections of these specifications.
B. Concrete shall comply with the requirements of these specifications.
C. Reinforcement, Joint Materials, and Forms: Comply with applicable sections of these
specifications.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION
A. Foundation: Excavate or backfill to the required depth. Stabilize the foundation
material upon which the curb is to be set as shown on the construction plans with an
even surface, true to line, grade and cross section, and soaking wet at the time that the
concrete is placed.
B. Forms: Place forms straight, free from warp or bends, and set to the line and grades
shown on the drawings.
C. Placing Concrete: Place concrete in the forms. Tamp and spade until mortar entirely
covers its surface. Float the top of the concrete smooth and round the edges to the
radius shown in the plans.
D. Joints: Except for machine -placed items, at the option of the Contractor, contraction
joints may be formed by the use of dummy joints (either formed or sawed) or by the
use of sheet metal templates. If sheet metal templates are used, make them 1/4 -inch
thick and other dimensions same as cross section of form. Hold templates firmly during
the placing of the concrete and leave in place until the concrete has set sufficiently to
hold its shape, but remove while the forms are still in place.
For machine -placed items, unless otherwise approved, saw contraction joints
approximately 3/16 -inch wide and 1 -1/2 -inch deep in curb and gutter as soon as the
concrete has hardened to the degree that excessive raveling will not occur and before
uncontrolled shrinkage cracking begins. Space contraction joints at intervals of 10 feet,
except where lesser interval is required for closure, but make no section less than 4 feet
in length.
Construct expansion joints at all inlets, at all radius points, in other locations indicated
in the plans at intervals of 500 feet between other expansion joints or ends of a run.
The joints shall be 1/2 -inch in width.

SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
E. Finishing: Finish all exposed surfaces while the concrete is still green. In general, only a
brush finish will be required. For any surface areas, however, which are too rough or
have other surface defects which make additional finishing necessary, rub the curb to a
smooth surface with a soft brick or wood block, with water used liberally.
F. Curing: Continuously cure the concrete for a period of at least 72 hours. Commence
curing after finishing has been completed and as soon as the concrete has hardened
sufficiently to permit application of the curing material without marring the surface.
Replace immediately any curing material removed or damaged during the 72 -hour
period. Curing will be done by the membrane curing compound method.
To cure by the membrane curing compound method, apply clear membrane curing
compound or white pigmented curing compound by a hand sprayer in a single coat
continuous film and uniform coverage of at least one gallon to each 200 square feet.
Thoroughly agitate the curing compound in the drum prior to application and during
application as necessary to prevent settlement of pigment. Re -coat immediately any
cracks, chips or other defects appearing in the coating.
G. Backfilling and Compacting: After the concrete has set sufficiently, fill the spaces in
back of the curb to the required elevation with suitable material and compact to 90
percent relative density.
H. Machine Laid Curb: Concrete curbs may be installed by machines without forming,
provided that the finished product is straight, free from warp or bends, and does not
deviate from the design line and grade or cross section.
I. Driveways: When construction is through areas previously "built up", construct drop
curbs for driveway aprons at all existing driveways and as shown on the plans. When
construction is in "new" areas, construct drop curbs as shown in the plans.
J. Testing: Sample and cure the concrete in accordance with ASTM C31, except take not
Tess than five (5) 6 -inch by 12 -inch cylinders for each 50 cubic yards poured or each
day's pour less than 50 cubic yards. A slump test may be taken in conformity with
ASTM C143, and the cylinders shall be tested in accordance with ASTM C39.
The finished curbs, valley gutters, and curb and gutters, and Miami curbs shall be within
0.02 feet of the lines and grades shown on the plans. The finished concrete shall be
smooth to within 1/4 -inch in ten feet, without cracks (other tan contraction joints) and
without puddled or tapped water deeper than 1/4 -inch
Remove and replace all work that does not meet above requirements.

E. Deposit concrete continuously or in layers so that no concrete is placed on concrete
which has hardened sufficiently to cause seams or planes of weakness. If section cannot
be placed continuously, provide construction joints as specified. Deposit concrete as
nearly as practical to its final location to avoid segregation.
F. When depositing by chute, provide equipment of size and design to ensure continuously
flowing concrete. Provide discharge end of chute with baffle plate to prevent
segregation. Position chute so that concrete need not flow more than 5 feet
horizontally.
G. Do not drop concrete from chute end distances greater than 3 times the deposited layer
thickness, nor more than 5 feet. Where distance from chute end to surface of concrete
exceeds these distances, use spout and maintain lower end as near to deposit surface as
practical. When operations are intermittent, discharge chutes into hoppers.
H. Placing Concrete in Forms: Deposit concrete in forms in horizontal layers not deeper
than 24 inches to avoid inclined construction joints. Where placement involves several
layers, place each layer while preceding layer is still plastic to avoid cold joints.
1. Fill bottom of wall space with 2 to 4 inches of cement slurry immediately before
depositing concrete in walls. Use cement slurry composed of 1 part Portland
cement, 2 parts fine aggregate, and sufficient water (but not to exceed 0.45
parts) for 7 -inch slump mixture.
2. Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented
by hand spading, rodding, or tamping. Use equipment and procedures for
concrete consolidation in accordance with ACI recommended practices.
3. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside forms. Insert and withdraw
vibrators vertically at uniformly spaced locations not farther than visible
machine effectiveness. Place vibrators to rapidly penetrate placed layer and at
least 6 inches into preceding layer. Do not insert vibrators into concrete layers
that have begun to set. At each insertion, limit duration to time necessary to
consolidate concrete and complete reinforcement embedment and other
embedded items without causing mix segregation. Keep vibrators away from
waterstops to prevent displacement.
I. Placing Concrete Slabs: Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in continuous operations
between construction joints until panel or section placement is complete.

3.03 INSPECTION AND TESTING
A. Hydrostatic Testing of Aboveground or Exposed Piping: The maximum filling velocity
shall be 0.25 feet per second, applied over full area of pipe. Open vents at high points
of the piping system to purge air while the pipe is being filled. Subject the piping
system to the test pressure indicated. Maintain the test pressure for a minimum of four
(4) hours. Examine joints, fittings, valves, and connections for leaks. The piping system
shall show no leakage or weeping. Correct leaks and retest until no leakage is obtained.
B. Hydrostatic Testing of Buried Piping:
1. Test after backfilling has been completed. Expel air from piping system during
filling.
2. Where any section of the piping contains concrete thrust blocks or encasement,
do not make the pressure test until at least 10 days after the concrete has been
poured. When testing mortar -lined piping, fill the pipe to be tested with water
and allow it to soak for at least 48 hours to absorb water before conducting the
pressure test.
3. Apply and maintain the test pressure by means of a hydraulic force pump.
Maintain the test pressure for a minimum duration of four (4) hours. After the
test pressure is reached, use a meter to measure the additional water added to
maintain the pressure during the four hours. This amount of water is the loss
due to leakage in the piping system. The allowable leakage rate is defined by
the formula.
L = SD(P)1/2.
133,200
in which:
L = allowable leakage (gallons/hour) during the test period.
S = length of pipe, in feet
D = diameter of the pipe (inches)
P = specified test pressure (prig)
3. Repair and retest any pipes showing leakage rates greater than that allowed.
C. Hydrostatic Test for Gravity Piping:
1. Testing Equipment Accuracy: Plus or minus 1/2 gallon of water leakage under
specified conditions.
2. Maximum Allowable Leakage: 0.16 gallon per hour per inch diameter per 100
feet. Include service connection footage in test section, subjected to minimum
head specified.

3.02 RACEWAY INSTALLATION
A. Outdoors, use the following materials:
1. Exposed Conduit: Rigid Aluminum metal conduit and fittings.
2. Underground Direct Buried Conduit: Schedule 40 PVC conduit.
3. Conduit Used to Connect to Vibrating Equipment including actuators or motor -driven
equipment: Liquidtight flexible metal conduit.
B. Indoors, use the following wiring materials:
1. Exposed Conduit: Rigid Aluminum Conduit.
2. Concealed Conduit: Rigid Aluminum Conduit.
3. Chemical Storage: PVC
C. Minimum size conduit shall be 3/4 inch unless shown otherwise.
D. Instrument Signal Conduit Requirements: Shielded signal wires for 4-20 mA type instruments
or thermocouple wires assigned to the same control panel may be run in the same conduit.
Shielded instrument signal wires, thermocouple wires, and shielded 2 -wire intercom wires
may be run in the same conduit. No other wires will be permitted in an instrument signal/2-
wire intercom conduit.
E. Conduit Thread Paint: Make threaded conduit joints watertight by coating threaded portions
with a spray -on or brush -on zinc -bearing paint. Provide paint containing 90 percent
minimum by weight of metallic zinc powder in the dried film. Clean field -cut threads of oil
using the recommended solvent prior to coating threads.
F. Install expansion fittings in all exposed rigid nonmetallic conduit runs of 20 feet or more.
G. Install expansion/deflection fittings where conduit passes a building expansion joint or
where conduits are attached to two structures joined by a concrete expansion joint.
H. Exposed or Concealed Construction: Install conduit exposed inside buildings except for areas
with finished walls (e.g., offices, laboratories, lavatories, locker rooms, etc.) unless otherwise
indicated.
I. Concealed Raceways: Raceways embedded in slabs shall be installed in the middle third of
the slab thickness where practical and leave at least 1 -inch concrete cover. Tie raceways to
reinforcing rods or otherwise secure them to prevent sagging or shifting during concrete
placement. Space raceways laterally to prevent voids in the concrete. Run 1 -inch and smaller
raceways with a minimum of bends in the shortest practical distance. Run larger conduit
parallel with or at right angles to the main reinforcement; where at right angles to the
JCR/ab/specs/16050
Tt #200-41125-16004
16050-4 060217
SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
reinforcement, the conduit shall be close to one of the supports of the slab. Where
nonmetallic conduit or fiberglass -reinforced conduit is used, raceways must be converted to
PVC externally coated rigid metal conduit before rising above floor.
J. Exposed Raceways: Install parallel and perpendicular to nearby surfaces or structural
members and follow the surface contours as much as practical. Make bends and offsets so
the inside diameter is not effectively reduced. Keep the legs of a bend in the same plane and
the straight legs of offsets parallel. Conduits shall slope away from loads to keep moisture
from entering the Toad. Run parallel or banked raceways together. Make bends in parallel or
banked runs from the same centerline so that the bends are parallel. Factory elbows may be
used in banked runs only where they can be installed parallel. This requires that there be a
change in the plane of the run, such as from wall to ceiling and that the raceways be of the
same size. In other cases, provide field bends for parallel raceways. Keep raceways at least 6
inches away from parallel runs of flues and steam or hot water pipes. Install horizontal
raceway runs above water and steam piping.
K. Space raceways, fittings, and boxes 0.25 inch from mounting surface in NEMA 4X areas.
Spacers shall be one-piece construction of stainless steel, or other noncorrosive material.
L. Sleeves: Install in concrete floor slabs except where conduit passes through a housekeeping
pad. Install in exterior walls below grade.
M. Stub -up Connections: Extend conduits through concrete floor for connection to freestanding
equipment with an adjustable top or coupling threaded inside for plugs and set flush with
the finished floor. Extend conductors to equipment with rigid metal conduit; flexible metal
conduit may be used 6 inches above the floor. Where equipment connections are not made
under this Contract, install screwdriver -operated threaded flush plugs with floor.
N. Flexible Connections: Use short length (maximum 6 feet for lighting fixtures; maximum 3
feet for all other equipment) of flexible conduit for recessed and semi -recessed lighting
fixtures, equipment subject to vibration, noise transmission, or movement, and all motors.
Use liquidtight flexible conduit in wet locations and rated flexible connections for hazardous
locations. Install separate ground conductor across flexible connections.
0. Join raceways with fittings designed and approved for the purpose and make joints tight.
Where joints cannot be made tight, use bonding jumpers to provide electrical continuity of
the raceway system. Where terminations are subject to vibration, use bonding bushings or
wedges to assure electrical continuity. Where subject to vibration or dampness, use
insulating bushings to protect conductors.
P. Use raceway fittings that are of types compatible with the associated raceway and suitable
for the use and location. For intermediate metal conduit, use threaded rigid metal conduit
fittings. For PVC externally coated rigid metal conduit, use only factory -coated fittings
approved for use with that material. Patch all nicks and scrapes in PVC coating after installing
conduit.
JCR/ab/specs/16050
Tt #200-41125-16004 16050-5 060217
SECTION IVa — Supplemental Technical Specifications
Q. Install raceway sealing fittings in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions.
Locate fittings at suitable, approved, accessible locations and fill them with UL listed sealing
compound. For concealed raceways, install each fitting in a flush metal box with a blank
cover plate having a finish similar to that of adjacent plates or surfaces. Install raceway
sealing fittings at the following points and elsewhere as indicated:
1. Where conduits enter or leave hazardous locations.
2. Where conduits enter or leave NEMA 4X areas.
3. Where conduits pass from warm locations to cold locations, such as the boundaries of
refrigerated spaces and air-conditioned spaces.
4. Where required by the NEC.
R. Install electrical boxes in those locations which ensure ready accessibility to enclosed
electrical wiring. Provide knockout closures to cap unused knockout holes where blanks have
been removed.
S. Fasten electrical boxes firmly and rigidly to substrates or structural surfaces to which
attached, or solidly embed electrical boxes in concrete masonry.
T. Support exposed raceway within 1 foot of an unsupported box and access fittings. In
horizontal runs, support at box and access fittings may be omitted where box or access
fittings are independently supported and raceway terminals are not made with chase nipples
or threadless box connectors.
U. In open overhead spaces, cast boxes threaded to raceways need not be supported
separately except where used for fixture support; support sheet metal boxes directly from
building structure.
V. Terminations: Where raceways are terminated with locknuts and bushings, align the
raceway to enter squarely and install the locknuts with dished part against the box. Where
terminating in threaded hubs, screw the raceway or fitting tight into the hub so the end
bears against the wire protection shoulder. Where chase nipples are used, align the raceway
so the coupling is square to the box and tighten the chase nipples so no threads are exposed.
W. Complete installation of electrical raceways before starting installation of conductors within
raceways and prevent foreign matter from entering raceways by using temporary closure
protection. Cap spare conduit. Protect stub -ups from damage where conduits rise from floor
slabs. Arrange so curved portion of bends is not visible above the finished slab.
X. Install pull wires in empty raceways: Use No. 14 AWG zinc -coated steel or monofilament
plastic line having not less than 200 -pound tensile strength. Leave not less than 12 inches of
slack at each end of the pull wire.

A. Use pulling means including fish tape, cable, rope, and basket weave wire/cable grips which
will not damage cables or raceways. Pull conductors simultaneously where more than one is
being installed in same raceway. Use UL listed pulling compound or lubricant where
necessary.
B. Keep branch circuit conductor splices to minimum. Splice feeders only where indicated. Use
a standard kit. No splices are allowed for instrument and telephone cables except at
indicated splice points.
C. Install splice and tap connectors which possess equivalent or better mechanical strength and
insulation rating than conductors being spliced. Use splice and tap connectors which are
compatible with conductor material and are UL listed as pressure type connectors.
D. Provide adequate length of conductors within electrical enclosures and train conductors to
terminal points with no excess. Bundle multiple conductors, with conductors larger than No.
10 AWG cabled in individual circuits. Make terminations so there is no bare conductor at
terminal.
E. Terminate power conductors at equipment using pressure-type terminals specifically
designed for type of terminations to be made. Terminate no more than 2 conductors No. 8
AWG and smaller within the same pressure-type terminal. These 2 conductors shall be no
more than 4 wire gauge sizes apart. Terminate no more than 1 conductor larger than No. 8
AWG within any pressure-type terminal.
1. Exception: Power factor correction capacitor conductors may be terminated at the
motor disconnect switch load terminals.
