There seems to be a minor discrepancy in the Proposal form in that
Gary Combs is presented initially to be the "undersigned" while, in
fact, the Proposal bears•a signature reading "Alan Rogers".
Through telephone conversations with the Arkansas Contractors Li-
censing Board on March 24th, I have discovered that Gary Combs is
not personally licensed (either as Gary Combs Construction Company
or as Pure Gold, Inc.) but apparently is proposing to do business
under the license of Frontier, Inc.

I.would suggest that you ask the city attorney to give you a legal
opihion regarding this matter. Certainly, as a minimum, Frontier, Inc.
should be contacted to verify their full knowledge of the bid cir-
cumstance.
By copy of this correspondence, I am notifying the City Engineer's
Office of this matter.
I respectfully point out that our firm's involvement in this project
is completed at this time in accordance with current contracts; how-
ever, we stand ready to assist in the review of submittal drawings,
construction observation, etc., at the pleasure of the City. If you
desire a proposal for our services in conjunction with the remainder
of this project, please notify the undersigned at your earliest con-

with the representative of the Owner designated to receive the bids before the
expiration of .the time limit for opening bids. After other bids are opened
and read, the bid for which withdrawal is requested will be returned unopened.
9. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS. Any one or more of the following causes may
be considered as sufficient for the disqualification of bidders and the
rejection of their bid or bids:
More than one proposal for the same work from an individual firm,
partnership, or corporation under the same or different names.

price is required by the Proposal.
Lack of competency as revealed by the financial statement,
experience, plant and equipment statements submitted.
Lack of responsibility as shown by past work judged from the
standpoint of workmanship and progress.

Instructions to Bidders - 3
L
I1�'a"'r%8
r
No bids received in the office of the official as set out in the
"Notice
to
Contractors" after the time for filing, as advertised,
will be
considered.
However, bids mailed from a post office other than that of the
Owner
and
arriving in the Owner's post office before the time for
receiving
of bids
and
actually delivered to the office designated to receive
the bids,
before
the
hour for opening of bids, shall be judged to have been
received
in time
for
filing and shall be considered.
12. FORFEITURE OF BIDDING BOND. The person or persons, partnership, company,
firm or corporation to which the contract is awarded shall, within ten (10)
days after such contract is awarded, execute and deliver the contract as
required; such bonds to be executed and approved prior to the execution of the
contract by the Owner. The Owner reserves the right to grant the Contractor
such extension of time in executing the contract as it deems necessary in the
interest of the Owner. Any application for extension of time shall be made by
the Contractor in writing, and signed by proper officials. The inclusion of
this provision, whereby extension of time in signing the contract and
submission of bonds may be granted, in no way obligates the Owner to act upon
any application unless it sees fit to do so.
Upon failure of the bidder to execute said bonds and contract within the
specified time after the contract is awarded, the bid by the Contractor will
be considered to have been abandoned and the Owner may ask for new bids. By
reason of the uncertainty of the market prices of materials and of damages and
expenses which the Owner might incur by reason of said Bidder's failure to
execute said bonds and contracts within said specified time, the bid bond
accompanying the bid shall be the agreed amount of damages which the Owner
will suffer by reason of such failure upon the part of the bidder, and shall
thereupon immediately be forfeited to the Owner. The filing of a bid under
these instruction shall be considered as acceptance of this provision.
13. RETURN OF BIDDER'S BOND. Bonds deposited with bids will be returned to
the bidders as soon as the contract is awarded, except the bond of the
successful bidder, which will be returned after the contract is executed and
the bonds approved. Unless the Owner has a good reason to hold bidding bonds,
the bonds of all except the three low bidders will be returned as soon as the
bids have been considered.
14. AWARDING OF CONTRACT. The Owner reserves the right to withhold the
awarding of a contract for a reasonable period of time from the date of
opening bids, said length of time to be stated in the Proposal. The awarding
of a contract upon a successful bid shall give the bidder no right of action
or claim against the Owner upon such contract until the same shall have been
reduced to writing and duly signed by the contracting parties. The lettering
of a contract shall not be complete until the contract is duly executed and
the necessary bonds approved.
15.
SUBCONTRACTORS.
The Contractor shall not assign nor
sublet all or
any
part
of the Contract
without the prior written approval
of the Owner,
nor
shall
the Contractor
allow such subcontractor to commence
work until he
has

r
T
provided and obtained approval of such compensation and public liability
insurance as may be required under the laws of the state. The approval of
such subcontract by the Owner will in no manner release the Contractor from
any of his obligations as set out in the Plans, Specifications, Contract and
bonds.
16. PREFERENCE. FOR ARKANSAS CONTRACTORS. In the event that the Project is
funded by an agency or Owner which is subject to the preference for certain
bidders set forth in Section 14 - 614.2 of the Arkansas Statutes, in order to
qualify for such preference, the Bidder must submit with his Bid a written
claim for preference listing the owners of projects upon which he has
satisfactorily performed prior contracts within the State of Arkansas within
two years of the date of the bid opening and listing the nature of any and all
taxes paid by the Bidder which support his claim for preference. For
additional information, the Bidder is referred to Arkansas Statutes Sections
14 - 614.2 through 14 - 614.6.
17. "OR"EQUAL" CLAUSE. Whenever a material or article required is specified
or shown on the Plans by using the name of the proprietary product or of a
particular manufacturer or vendor, any material or article which will perform
adequately the duties imposed by the general design may be considered equal
and satisfactory providing the material or article so proposed is of equal
substance and function in the Engineer's opinion. It shall not be purchased
or installed without his written approval.

SCOPE AND INTENT OF SPECIFICATIONS AND PLANS
The Specifications and Plans are intended: to supplement but not
necessarily duplicate each other, and together constitute one complete set of
Specifications and Plans, so that any Work exhibited in one and not in the
other, shall be executed just as if it had been set forth in both, in order
that the Work shall be completed according to the complete design or designs
as decided and determined by the Engineer. Should anything be omitted from
the Specifications and Plans which is necessary to a clear understanding of
the Work, or should it appear that various instructions are in conflict, then
the Contractor shall secure written instructions from the Engineer before
proceeding with the construction affected by such omissions or discrepancies.
It is understood and agreed that the Work shall be performed and completed
according to the true spirit, meaning and intent of the Contract,
Specifications and Plans. -

unless, within thirty (30) days thereafter, written objection is filed with
the Owner's Purchasing Agent demanding that the issue be determined by
arbitration.
LIMITATIONS OF THE ENGINEER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Neither the Engineer's authority to act under the Plans and
Specifications nor any decision made by him in good faith either to exercise
or not exercise such authority shall give rise to any duty or responsibility
of the Engineer to the Contractor, any Subcontractor, any materialman,
fabricator, supplier, or any of their agents or employees or any other person
performing any of the Work. The Engineer will not be responsible for the
Contractor's means, methods, techniques, or procedures of construction, or the
safety precautions and programs incident thereto, and he will not be
responsible for the Contractor's failure to perform the Work in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications. The Engineer will not be responsible for
the acts or omissions of the Contractor, or any Subcontractors, or any of his
or their agents or employees, or any other persons at the site or otherwise
performing any of the work. -
ENGINEER'S VISITS TO THE SITE
The Engineer will make periodic visits to the site to observe the
progress and quality of the executed Work and to determine, in general, if the
Work is proceeding in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. He will
not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections to check
the quality or quantity of the Work. His efforts will be directed toward
providing assurance for the Owner that the completed Project will conform to
the requirements of the Plans and Specifications. On the basis of his on -site
observations, he will keep the Owner informed of the progress of the Work and
will endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work
of the Contractor.
All of the work performed shall be subject to the inspection and approval
of the Engineer. The Engineer and his representatives shall at all times have
access to the work and the materials necessary for the performance thereof,
and the Contractor shall provide proper facilities for access and inspection.
If the Plans and Specifications, the Engineer's instructions, laws,
ordinances, or any public authority require any of the work to be tested or
approved, the Contractor shall give the Engineer timely notice of its
readiness for inspection and, if the inspection is by authority other than the
Engineer, of the date fixed for such inspection, but any such inspection shall
not diminish the necessity of inspection and approval by the Engineer.
Inspections made by the Engineer shall be promptly made. If any work should
be covered up without the approval or consent of the Engineer, it must be
uncovered for inspection at the Contractor's expense if required by the
Engineer.

It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has, by personal
examination at the site, checked the material and location of the work; the
type of equipment, storage space and facilities needed preliminary to, and
during execution of the work; the general and local conditions, and all other
matters which may, in any way, affect or have a bearing on the work of the
Contract and its costs. The Contractor also represents that he has studied
all surveys and investigation reports of subsurface and latent physical
conditions provided in the Specifications and made such additional surveys and
investigations as he deems necessary for the performance of the Work at the
Contract price in accordance with the requirements of the Plans and
Specifications and that he has correlated the results of all such data with
the requirements of the Plans and Specifications. Failure on the part of the
Contractor to have fully informed himself of site conditions, and to fully
understand the extent of the Work required, shall not excuse him in any way
from his obligation to supply and install the Work in accordance with the
Specifications and Plans, and under all conditions as they exist. Noextra
compensation will be allowed because of his failure to so inform himself. His
submission of a bid on the project shall be considered as sufficient evidence
that the Contractor has complied with the above requirements.
ARRANGEMENT OF SPECIFICATIONS AND PLANS
Titles to sections and paragraphs in the Specifications are used merely
for convenience, and shall not be taken as a correct or complete segregation
of the several units of materials, equipment and labor, nor as an attempt to
outline or define jurisdictional procedures. Likewise, the identifications of
any Plans shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among
Subcontractors or delineating the Work to be performed by any specific trade.
No responsibility, either direct or implied, is assumed by the Engineer, or
the Owner, for omissions or duplications by the Contractor or by any of his
subcontractors, due to real or alleged errors in arrangement of matter in the
Plans and Specifications.
QUANTITIES OF ESTIMATE
Wherever the estimated quantities of Work to be done and materials to be
furnished under this Contract are shown in any of the documents, including the
Proposal, they are given for use in comparing bids and the right is especially
reserved except as herein otherwise specifically limited, to increase or
diminish them as may be deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by the Owner
to complete the Work contemplated by this Contract, nor shall any such
increase or diminution in any way violate this Contract, nor shall any such
increase or diminution give cause for claims or liability for damages.
General Provisions - 4

QUALITY OF THE PLANS
The Plans have been made with care but cannot be assumed to be correct in
every detail when some of the conditions to be encountered may not be shown on
existing maps and are underground.
The approximate locations of existing improvements are shown. The
placing of this information on the Plans in no way obligates the Owner or
Engineer as to its correctness, as it is indicative only and is placed there
for information and assistance to the Contractor. It is the expressed intent
of these Plans and Specifications that the Contractor is to make his own
investigation of conditions to be encountered, and the submission of the
Proposal by the Contractor for the work constitutes his compliance with this
requirement. -
Minor details not usually shown or specified, but necessary for the
proper installation and operation, shall be included in the work as if shown
or specified. Wherever the word "provide" is used, it shall mean "furnish and
install complete and ready for use." -
The accuracy of dimensions shown on drawings furnished to the Contractor
by the Engineer having reference to any existing work, structure or facility
is not guaranteed. The Contractor shall satisfy himself to such accuracy of
such existing dimensions before starting the work.
Whenever existing obstructions or dimensional inaccuracies capable of
verification by the Contractor in the field, or minor variations in indicated
arrangements or dimensions of equipment, interfere with the installation as
shown on the Plans, the Contractor shall make such necessary alterations as
are approved by the Engineer and such alterations shall not constitute a basis
for extra payment.

The Contractor shall verify all grades and dimensions as shown on the
Plans, and he shall report any errors or inconsistencies in the above to the
Engineer before commencing work. The Contractor will be held responsible for
the accuracy of the layout of all the work.
General Provisions - 5

The Contractor shall provide and maintain well-built batter boards at all
building corners; he shall establish additional bench, marks in not less than
two widely separated places.
The elevation lines and levels at existing structures may be used for
locating, layout and directing the Work.
The Contractor shall lay out the Work, check all positions of footings
and walls in place, also the various levels of the structure, the
intersections of lines at centers, test and check all elevations and levels
and make a full report to the Engineer in case of any discrepancy.
As the Work progresses, the Contractor shall layout on the rough flooring
the exact location.of all partitions as a guide to all trades.
LINES AND GRADES
All work done under this Contract shall be done to the lines and grades
shown on the Plans. The Contractor shall keep the Engineer informed, a
reasonable time in advance, of the times and places at which he wishes to do
work, in order that liens and grades may be furnished and necessary
measurements for record and payment may be made with minimum inconvenience to
the Engineer and delay to the Contractor.
CONTRACTOR TO FURNISH STAKES AND HELP
The Contractor shall furnish without additional charge competent men from
his force and such tools, stakes and other materials as the Engineer may
require for the proper staking out of the Work, and in making measurements as
surveys and in establishing temporary or permanent reference marks in

PRESERVATION OF MONUMENTS AND STAKES
The Contractor shall carefully preserve all monuments, bench marks,
reference points and stakes, and in case of willful or careless destruction of
the same, he will be charged with the resulting expense of replacement, and
shall be responsible for any mistakes or loss of time that may be caused by
their unnecessary loss or disturbance. In the event that the stakes and marks
placed by the Engineer are destroyed through carelessness on the part of the
Contractor, and that the destruction of these stakes and marks causes a delay
in the work, the Contractor shall have no claim for damages or extensions of
time. In the case of any permanent monuments or bench marks which must of
necessity be removed or disturbed in the construction of the work, the
Contractor shall carefully protect and preserve the same until they can be
properly referenced and relocated. The Contractor shall also furnish at his
•General Provisions - 6
J
own expense such materials and assistance as are necessary for the proper
replacement of monuments or bench marks that have been moved or destroyed.
WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
The Contractor shall and will, in good workmanlike manner, do and perform
all work and furnish all supplies and materials, machinery, equipment,
facilities and means, except as herein otherwise expressly specified,

Contract, within the time herein specified, in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications, and in accordance with the directions of the Engineers as
given from time to time during the progress of the work. He shall furnish,
erect, maintain, and remove such construction plant and such temporary works
as may be required. The Contractor shall observe, comply with, and be subject
to. all terms, conditions, requirements, and the limitations of the Contract
and Specifications, and shall do, carry on, and complete the entire Work to
the satisfaction of the Engineer.
In all respects the work shall be performed in a complete and workmanlike
manner by workmen skilled in their respective trades, and in such a way as to
cause the least possible interference with the operations of other contractors
or with the Owner's operations. All materials furnished by the Contractor
shall be new and the best of their respective kinds, unless otherwise
specified.
The Contractorwarrantsand guarantees to the Owner and the Engineer that
all materials and equipment will be new unless otherwise specified and that
all Work will be of good quality and free from faults or defects and in
accordance with the requirements of the Plans and Specifications.
Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is identified on the
Plans or in the Specifications by reference to manufacturer's or vendors'
names, trade names, catalog numbers, etc., it is intended mainly to establish
a standard; and, any material, article, or equipment of other manufacturers
and vendors which will perform adequately the duties imposed by the general
design will be considered equally acceptable provided the material, article or
equipment so proposed, is, in the opinion of the Engineer, of equal substance
and function. It shall not be purchased or installed by •the Contractor
without the Engineer's written approval. See the section which follows
hereafter entitled SHOP DRAWINGS AND SAMPLES. However, the Owner shall have
the right, upon giving notice in writing to the Contractor, to require the
Contractor to purchase from such vendors as the Owner may designate, any or
all of the items which are to be incorporated into the Work. If any items so
designated by the Owner for purchase by the Contractor are purchased at prices
which exceed, or are less than, the prices which the Contractor would be
required to pay to reputable vendors at that time for similar,items of like
grade and quality which would have complied with the Specifications and the
Plans, then the Owner shall pay to the Contractor the amount of such excess,
or the Contract Price shall be reduced by the amount of the difference, as the
case may be.
General Provisions - 7
IJ
r
WORKMEN
The Contractor shall employ, or cause to be employed, on or in connection
with the performance of the Work only persons who are fit and skilled in the
work assigned. The Contractor shall at all times enforce, or cause to be
enforced, strict discipline and good order among the workmen employed on the
Work. Should any disorderly, incompetent, or objectionable person be employed
by the Contractor, or by any Subcontractor, upon or about the Construction
Site, the Contractor shall, upon request of the Engineer, cause such person to
be removed from the Work and not again employed thereon without the written
permission of the Engineer.
HORSEPLAY, FIGHTING AND ROAMING
Horseplay, scuffling, fighting or carrying of firearms is not permitted
on the Construction Site. The Contractor's men shall confine their activities
to the specific area of construction work.
CONTRACTOR'S SUPERVISION
The Contractor shall keep on his Work, during its progress, a competent
Superintendent, and any necessary assistants, all satisfactory to the
Engineer. The Superintendent shall not be changed unless he proves to be
unsatisfactory to the Contractor and ceases to be in his employ. The
Superintendent shall represent the Contractor in his absence, and all
directions given to him shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor.
Directions shall be confirmed upon written request. The Contractor shall give
efficient supervision to the work, using his best skills and attention. He
shall carefully study and compare all Plans, Specifications, and other
instructions, and shall at once report to the Engineer, any error,
inconsistency, or omission which he may discover.
CONTRACTOR'S MEETINGS
Meetings of the representatives of the Engineer and Contractors may be
held in the field office at regular intervals, as directed by the Engineer,
for the purpose of furthering the progress of the Work, and the issuing of
instructions. Where such representatives fail in attendance or in executing
the instructions given them, they shall, on request of the Owner, be dismissed
from the work within twelve (12) hours from the time of each request, and
other representatives satisfactory to the Engineer shall be immediately
substituted.
SUBCONTRACTING
The Contractor may utilize the services of specialty subcontractors on
those parts of the Work which, under normal contracting practices, are
performed by specialty subcontractors.
The Contractor shall not award any work to any subcontractor without
prior written approval of the Owner, which approval will not be given until
the Contractor submits to the Owner a written statement concerning the
proposed award to the Subcontractor, which statement shall contain such
information as the Owner may require.
General Provisions - 8
J
The Contractor shall not assign or sublet al.l or any part of this
Contract without the prior written approval of the Owner, nor shall the
Contractor allow such Subcontractor to commence work until he has provided and
obtained approval of such compensation and public liability insurance as may
be required under the laws of the state. The approval of such subcontract by
the Owner will in no manner release the Contractor from any of his obligations
as set out in the Plans, Specifications, Contract, or Bonds.
The Contractor shall be as fully responsible to the Owner for the acts
and omissions of his Subcontractors, and of persons either directly or
indirectly employed by them, as he is for the acts and omissions of person
directly employed by him.
The Contractor shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all
subcontracts relative to the work to bind subcontractors to the Contractor by
the terms of the General Provisions and other Contract Documents insofar as
applicable to the work of subcontractors and to give the Contractor the same
power as regards terminating any subcontract that the Owner may exercise over
the Contractor under any provisions of the Contract Documents.
Nothing contained in this Contract shall create any contractural relation
between any subcontractor and the Owner.
PARTIAL SETS OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SUBCONTRACTORS
Separate sheets of the Plans and/or Specifications will be available to
subcontractors, suppliers and material dealers for their convenience at
reproduction costs. However, it will be their responsibility to check their
compliance with a complete set of contract documents prior to executing the
Work to insure a complete and satisfactory interface with other contractors
and/or subcontractors.
ASSIGNMENTS
The Contractor shall not assign the whole or any part of this Contract to
any moneys due to become due hereunder without written consent of the Owner.
In case the Contractor assigns all or any part of any moneys due or to become
due under this Contract, the instrument of assignment shall contain a clause
substantially to the effect that it is agreed that the right of the assignee
in and to any moneys due or to become due to the Contractor shall be subject
to prior claims of all persons, firms and corporations for services rendered
or material supplied for the performance of the Work called for in this
Contract.

where under the Contract an additional time is allowed for the completion of
any Work, the new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence
of this Contract. PROVIDED, that the Contractor shall not be charged with
liquidated damages or any excess cost when the Owner determines that the
Contractor is without fault and the Contractor's reasons for the time
extension are acceptable to the Engineer.
The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any claim for
an extension in the Contract Time shall be based on written notice delivered
to the Owner and the Engineer within seven (7) days of the occurrence of the
event giving rise to the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with
supporting data shall be delivered within thirty (30) days of such occurrence
unless the Engineer allows an additional period of time to ascertain more
accurate data.. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Time shall be
determined by the Engineer if the Owner and the Contractor cannot otherwise
agree. Any change in the Contract Time resulting from any such claim shall be
incorporated into a Change Order.

NEGLECTED WORK
If the Contractor should fail to prosecute the Work in accordance with
the Plans and Specifications, including any requirements of the progress
schedule, the Owner, after seven days' written notice to the Contractor may,
without prejudice to any other remedy he may have, make good such deficiencies
and the cost thereof (including compensation for additional professional
services) shall be charged against the Contractor if the Engineer approves
such action, in which case a Change Order shall be issued incorporating the
necessary revisions in the Contract Documents including an appropriate
reduction in the Contract Price. If the payments then or thereafter due the
Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the Contractor shall pay
the difference to the Owner.
PROGRESS PAYMENTS
About the first day of the month, the Contractor shall submit to the
Engineer for review an Application for Payment filled.out and signed by the
General Provisions - 23
rwi
J
r
Contractor covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and
accompanied by such data and schedules as the Engineer may reasonably require.
Unless otherwise specifically stated in the Detailed Specifications, or
clarified by the Owner prior to approval of the Contract, the Owner shall pay
to the Contractor ninety percent (90%) of the amount of such estimated value
of materials furnished and work done during said previous calendar month.
After fifty percent (50%) of the project has been completed, the amount
retained may be reduced to five percent (5%) of the project has been
completed, the amount retained may be reduced to five percent (5%), provided
reasonable cause cannot be shown for a greater retainage. If payment is
requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work
but delivered and suitably stored at the site or another location agreed to in
writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by such data,
satisfactory to the Owner, as will establish the Owner's title to the material
and equipment and protect his interest therein, including applicable
insurance. Each subsequent Application for Payment shall include an affidavit
of the Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received on
account of the Work have been applied to discharge in full all of Contractor's
obligations reflected in prior Applications for Payment.
The 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 at the time of payment free and
clear of all liens, claims, security interests and encumberance.
The Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of each Application for
Payment, either indicate in writing his approval of payment and present the
Application to the Owner, or return the Application to the Contractor
indicating in writing his reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the
latter case, the Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit
the Application. The Owner shall, within ten days of presentation to him of
an approved application for payment, pay the Contractor the amount approved by
the Engineer. By approving any such payment the Engineer will not thereby be
deemed to have represented that he made exhaustive or continuous on -site
inspections to check the quality or the quantity of the Work, or that he has
reviewed the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures of
construction, or that he has made any examination to ascertain how or for what
purpose the Contractor has used the moneys paid or to be paid to him on
account of the Contract Price, or that title to any Work, materials, or
equipment has passed to the Owner free and clear of any liens.
The Engineer may refuse to approve the whole or any part of any payment
if, in his opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to the
Owner. He may also refuse to approve any such payment, or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or
tests, nullify any such payment previously approved to such extent as may be
necessary in his opinion to protect the Owner from loss because:

FINAL ESTIMATE AND PAYMENT
Prior to final payment, the Contractor may, in writing to the Owner and
the Engineer, certify that the entire Project is substantially complete and
request that the Engineer issue a certificate of Substantial Completion.
Within a reasonable time thereafter, the Owner, the Contractor and the
Engineer shall make an inspection of the Project to determine the status of
completion. If the Engineer does not consider the Project -substantially
complete, he will notify the Contractor in writing giving his reasons
therefore. If the Engineer considers the Project substantially complete, he
will prepare and deliver to the Owner a tentative certificate of Substantial
Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion and the
responsibilities between the Owner and the Contractor for maintenance, heat
and utilities. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of
items to be completed or corrected before final payment, and the certificate
shall fix the time within which such items shall be completed or corrected,
said time to within the Contract Time. The Owner shall have seven days after
receipt of the tentative certificate during which he may make written
objection to the Engineer as to any provisions of the certificate or attached
list. If, after considering such objections, the Engineer concludes that the
Project is not substantially complete, he will within fourteen days after
submission of the tentative certificate to the Owner notify the Contractor in
writing, stating his reasons therefore. If, after consideration of the
Owner's objections, the Engineer considers the Project substantially complete,
he will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to the Owner and the
Contractor a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes
from the tentative certificate as he believed justified after consideration of
any objections from the Owner.
The Owner shall have the right to exclude the Contractor from the Project
after the date of Substantial Completion, but the Owner shall allow the
Contractor reasonable access to complete or correct the items. on the tentative
list.
Prior to final payment, the Owner may request the Contractor in writing
to permit him to use a specified part of the Project which he believes he may
use without significant interference with construction of the other parts of
the Project. If the Contractor agrees, he will certify to the Owner and the
Engineer that said part of the Project is substantially complete and request

the Engineer to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of
the Project. Within a reasonable time thereafter the Owner, the Contractor,
and the Engineer shall make an inspection of that part of the Project to
determine its status of completion. If the Engineer does not consider it to
be substantially complete, he will notify the Owner and the Contractor in
writing giving his reasons therefore. If the Engineer considers that part of
the Project to be substantially complete, he will execute and deliver to the
Owner and the Contractor a certificate to that effect, fixing the date of
Substantial Completion as to that part of the Project, attaching thereto a
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment and
fixing the responsibility between the Owner and the Contractor for
maintenance, heat and utilities as to that part of the Project. The Owner
shall have the right to exclude the Contractor from any part of the Project
which the Engineer has so certified to be substantially complete, but the
Owner shall allow the Contractor reasonable access to complete or correct the
items on the tentative list.
Upon written notice from the Contractor
that
the Project is
-complete,
the
Engineer will make a final inspection with
the
Owner and the
Contractor
and
will notify the Contractor in writing of
all
particulars
in which
this
inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective.
The Contractor
shall immediately take such measures as
are
necessary to
remedy
this
deficiencies.
After the Contractor has completed all such corrections to the
satisfaction of the Engineer and delivered all maintenance and operating
instructions, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates of inspection and
other documents --all as required by the Specifications, he may make
application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments.
The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied by such data and
schedules as the Engineer may reasonably require, together with complete and
legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Liens
arising out of the Plans and Specifications and the labor and services
performed and the material and equipment furnished thereunder. In lieu
thereof and as approved by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish receipts or
releases in.full; an affidavit of the Contractor that the releases and
receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which a Lien
could be filed, and that all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or his property might
in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied; and consent
of the Surety, if any, to final payment.
If, on the basis of his observation and review of the Work during
construction, his final inspection and his review of the final Application for
Payment, all as required by the Plans and Specifications, the Engineer is
satisfied that the Work has been completed and the Contractor has fulfilled
all of his obligations under the Plans and Specifications, he will, within ten
days after receipt of the Final Application for Payment, indicate in writing
his approval of payment and present the Application to the Owner for payment.
Thereupon the Engineer will give written notice to the Owner and the
General Provisions - 26
t
riwi
r
Contractor that the Work is acceptable. . Otherwise, he will return the
Application to the Contractor; indicating in writing his reasons for refusing
to approve final payments, in which case the Contractor shall make the
necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. The Owner shall, within
ten days of presentation to him of an approved final Application for Payment,
pay the Contractor the amount approved by the Engineer.
If after Substantial Completion of the Work final completion thereof is
materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor, and the Engineer so
confirms, the Owner shall, upon certification by the Engineer, and without
terminating the Agreement, make payment of balance due for that portion of the
Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not
fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated heretofore,
and if Bonds have been furnished as required heretofore, 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 the Contractor to the
Engineer prior to certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made
under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall
not constitute a waiver of claims.
The Contractor's obligation to perform the Work and complete the Project
in accordance with the Plans and Specifications shall be absolute. Neither
approval of any progress or final payment by the Engineer, nor the issuance of
a certificate of Substantial Completion, nor any payment by the Owner to the
Contractor under the Plans and Specifications, nor any use or occupancy of the
Project or any part thereof by the Owner, nor any act of acceptance by the
Owner nor any failure to do so, nor any correction of defective work by the
Owner shall constitute an acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications.
The making and acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of
all claims by the Owner against the Contractor other than those arising from
unsettled Liens, from defective work appearing after final inspection, or from
failure to comply with the requirements of the Plans and Specifications or the
terms of any special guarantees specified therein, and a waiver of all claims
by the Contractor against the Owner other than those previously made in
writing and still unsettled.
Where part of the monies for construction of the project is being
obtained by grant or loan from Federal agencies, such as often is the case,
the final estimate will not be certified until the project has been approved
by the responsible Federal agency, and the final payment will not be made
until the monies are received from such agency. Consequently, there is under
such circumstances the possibility and likelihood of a delay in making said
final payment in excess of the customary period, as is the case when the Owner
has all necessary monies on hand.
GUARANTEES FOR MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND WORKMANSHIP
The Contractor hereby warrants that all materials and equipment furnished
for the Work and all portions of the Work:
General Provisions - 27
J
r
(a) Shall be new unless otherwise authorized by .the Owner in writing;
(b) Shall conform to the Specifications and to the Plans and shall be of
the best quality if no other quality is specified;
(c) Shall be fit for the particular purposes for which they are
required; and
(d) Shall be free from all defects in materials and workmanship until
the expiration of twelve (12) months after the Date of Substantial
Completion in the case of materials, equipment and portions of the
Work which have been incorporated into, or performed •on, the Work by
the Contractor on or before the Date of Substantial Completion
thereof and the date of the Owner's acceptance of the work in the
case of materials, equipment and portions of the Work which have
been incorporated into, or performed on, the Work by the Contractor
subsequent to the Date of Substantial Completion thereof; provided
however, that the Contractor shall not be liable for any failure
which result solely from improper operation or maintenance on the
Owner's part or which are due solely to normal wear and tear
The Contractor further warrants that all equipment designed and
manufactured by others than the Contractor which the Contractor purchases for
the Work shall be specified so as to conform to the Specifications and to the
Plans and shall be fit for the particular purposes for which they are
required.
The Contractor hereby agrees that, upon receiving written notice from the
Owner, he will at such reasonable time as is specified in such notice repair,
or remove from the Construction Site and replace any and all materials,
equipment and portions of the Work which fail to meet any warranty applicable
thereto under these provisions; provided the Owner so notifies the Contractor
within a reasonable time after such failure becomes known to the Owner and
makes the Work available for such repair or removal and replacement.
The Contractor hereby agrees that in the event any failure of any of the
materials, equipment or portions of the Work to meet any warranty applicable
thereto under these provisions becomes known to him, he will notify the Owner
promptly of such failure.
Neither failure of the Engineer to discover or reject materials or Work
not in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, nor approval of the
Engineer of any Work or materials, nor payment, nor partial or entire
occupancy of the premises, nor use of the equipment by the Owner shall be
construed as an acceptance of Work or materials which are not strictly in
accordance with the Plans and Specifications or a waiver of defects therein.
The Owner shall give to the Contractor prompt notice of observed defects.
All questions arising under this Article shall be decided by the Engineer,
subject to arbitration as provided herein.
General Provisions - 28
J
ARBITRATION
Either the Owner or the Contractor may demand arbitration with respect to
any such claim, dispute or other matter that has been referred to the
Engineer, except any which have been waived by the making or acceptance of
final payment. However, no demand for arbitration of any such claim, dispute
or other matter shall be made until the earlier of the date on which the
Engineer has rendered his decision or the tenth day after the parties have
presented their evidence to the Engineer if he has not rendered his written
decision before that date. No demand for arbitration shall be made later than
thirty days after the date on which the Engineer, rendered his written decision
in respect of the claim, dispute or other matter as to which arbitration is
sought; and the failure to demand arbitration within said thirty day period
shall result in the Engineer's decision being final and binding upon the Owner
and the Contractor. If the Engineer renders a decision after arbitration
proceedings have been initiated, such decision may be entered as evidence but
shall not supersede the arbitration proceedings, except where the decision is
acceptable to the parties concerned.
The Contractor will carry on Work and maintain the progress schedule
during any arbitration proceedings, unless otherwise agreed by him and the
Owner in writing.
OTHER CONTRACTORS
The Owner may perform additional work related to the Project by himself,
or he may let other direct contracts therefore similar to this one. The
Contractor shall afford the other contractors who are parties to such direct
contracts (or the Owner, if he is performing the additional work himself),
reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and
equipment and the execution of Work, and shall properly connect and coordinate
his Work with theirs.

part of the Contractor's
Work depends on proper execution
or
results upon
the Work of any such other
contractor (or Owner), the Contractor
shall inspect
and promptly report to the Engineer in writing any defects
or
deficiencies
in such Work that render it
unsuitable for such proper execution
and results.
His failure to so report
shall constitute an acceptance of
the
other Work as
fit and proper for the
relationship of his Work except as
to
defects and
deficiencies which may
appear in the other Work after
the
execution of
this Work.
The
Contractor
shall do all cutting, fitting
and patching of his
Work
that may
be required
to make its several parts come

and of the other contractors whose Work will
be affected.
If the performance of additional Work by other contractors or the Owner
is not noted in the Plans and Specifications prior to the execution of the
Contract, written notice thereof shall be given to the Contractor prior to
General Provisions - 29
ryro
starting any such additional Work. If the Contractor believes that the
performance of such additional Work by the Owner or. other involves him in

from the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product
or device not specified in the Plans and Specifications, and shall defend all
such claims in connection with any alleged infringement of such rights.

receiver is appointed for the Contractor or for any of his property, or if he
files a petition to take advantage of any debtor's act, or to reorganize under
the bankruptcy or similar laws, or if he repeatedly fails to supply sufficient
skilled workmen or suitable materials or equipment, or if he repeatedly fails
to make prompt payments to Subcontractors or for labor, materials, or
equipment or if he disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders

a period of more than ninety days by the Owner or under an order of court or
other public authority, or the Engineer fails to act on any Application for
Payment within thirty days after it is submitted, or the Owner fails to pay
the Contractor any sum approved by the Engineer or awarded by arbitrators
within .thirty days of its approval and presentation, then the Contractor may,
upon seven days written notice to the Owner and to the Engineer, terminate the
Construction Contract and recover from the Owner payment for all work executed
and any expense sustained plus a reasonable profit. In addition and in lieu
of terminating the Construction Contract, if the Engineer has failed to act on

dimensions. All such preparations shall be inspected by the Engineer prior to
the placing of concrete. Foundation excavations shall be true, free from mud
or ice and the pour shall be against firm material. Forms shall be straight
and true to within 1/8" ± without indentations, bulges or other
irregularities. Forms shall be faced with masonite or plywood when the
concrete is to be exposed. Chamfer strips shall be used to provide chamfered
corners and edges on all exposed concrete. Forms shall be cleaned and oiled
prior to each use. Oil shall be a non -staining mineral oil.
Forms shall be substantial and sufficiently tight to prevent leakage of
mortar; they shall be properly braced or tied together in such a manner that
will maintain their original position and shape under the superimposed loads
and the fluid pressure of the concrete. If adequate foundations for shores
cannot be secured, trussed supports shall be provided.
FINISH

the form or any other practice tending to cause segregation of the ingredients
will not be allowed. It shall be compacted by vibrating, continuous tamping,
spading or slicing. Care shall be taken to fill every part of the forms, to
work the coarser aggregate back from the face, and to force the concrete under
and around the reinforcement without displacing it. Whenever practicable,
concrete work shall be deposited continuously for each monolithic section of
the work and in all cases where so directed by the Engineer. All floors and
small dimension work shall be placed full thickness. Mass concrete shall be
placed in continuous horizontal layers. No concrete shall be placed under
water unless approval of the Engineer is obtained previous to commencement of
pouring concrete. When depositing in water is allowed, the concrete shall be
carefully placed in the space in which it is to remain in a compact mass by
means of a tremie, bottom dumping bucket or other approved method that does
not permit the concrete to fall through the water without adequate protection.
Concrete shall be placed under water only in forms which are reasonably
watertight and shall not be disturbed after being deposited.
CURING OF CONCRETE
Concrete not protected by form work shall be cured by covering with
burlap, sand, earth or with suitable curing material approved by the Engineer,
or by ponding. Regardless of the form of curing used, the covering shall be
placed as soon as practicable after the concrete has obtained its final set.
The curing will cover a seven day period dating from the time the concrete is
deposited and the covering shall be kept saturated throughout the entire
period. Normal curing operations may be dispensed with during periods when
the air temperature falls below 45°F, and cold weather concreting curing
provisions shall be initiated.
COLD WEATHER CONCRETING
Concreting operations will not be permitted when a descending air
temperature falls below 40°F, nor resumed until an ascending air temperature
reaches 35°F, without specific authority from the Engineer.
When operations are authorized under such conditions, or when it is
anticipated that•the air temperature will fall below 40°F before the concrete
has taken its final set, the Contractor shall furnish sufficient canvas and
framework, or other type of housing to enclose and protect the structure in
such a way that the air surrounding the fresh concrete can be kept at a
temperature of not less than 40°F and not more than 85°F for a period of at
least five days after the concrete is placed. Humidity shall be controlled
within the housing to preclude premature drying of the concrete.
Sufficient heating apparatus such as stoves, salamanders, or steam
equipment, and fuel to furnish the required heat, shall be supplied. "Spot"
heating will not be permitted. All water used for mixing concrete shall be
heated to a temperature of at least 70°F, but not over 150°F. Aggregate shall
be heated either by steam or dry heat, to a temperature of at least 70°F, but
not over 150°F. The heating apparatus shall be such as to heat the mass
uniformly and preclude the possibility of the occurrence of hot spots which
will burn the material. The temperature of the mixed concrete shall not be

Unless shown, reinforcement steel shall not extend across an expansion joint.
The break between two adjacent sections shall be complete. Exposed edges of
expansion joints shall be rounded. Expansion joints shall be filled with an
elastic "build up" type joint filler.
Build up expansion joint filler shall consist of an elastic structure
enclosed by outside layers of felt impregnated with asphalt. The complete
filler shall not be less than one-half (f) inch in. thickness. All built up
joint filler shall have concrete poured directly against both faces, and shall
be installed in accordance with the plans or the Engineer's instructions.
Where joint filler is placed against hardened concrete, the concrete surface
shall be primed with asphalt primer and then mopped with a heavy coat •of hot
roofing asphalt. The joint filler shall then be firmly pressed into the hot
asphalt, so that it becomes firmly cemented thereto. Concrete shall then be
poured directly against the filler.
WATERSTOPS
Waterstops shall be installed where indicated by the plans. The
waterstop material shall be copper, neoprene rubber or PVC as specified in the
Detailed Specifications or Plans.
READY -MIX CONCRETE
Ready -mix concrete shall be understood to mean any concrete which is
proportioned and mixed in a central plant and hauled to the work in agitator
trucks of approved type, or in non -agitating equipment when approved by the
Engineer; or concrete which is proportioned in a central plant and mixed in
approved transit mix •trucks en route to the site of the work; or mixed
completely in a truck mixer at the point of delivery following the addition of
mixing water.
Mixer may be stationary mixers or truck mixers. Agitators may be truck
mixers or truck agitators. Each mixer and agitator shall have attached
thereto, in a prominent place, a metal plate on which is plainly marked for
the various uses for which the equipment is designed, the capacity of the drum
container in terms of volume of mixed concrete and the speed of rotation of
the mixing drum and blades.
The truck mixer, when loaded to manufacturer's rated capacity, which
shall not exceed 57-1/2 percent of the volume of the drum of the mixer, shall
be capable of combining the ingredients of the concrete within the specified

time into a thoroughly mixed and uniform mass and of discharging the concrete
with a satisfactory degree of authority.
The agitator, when loaded to manufacturer's rated capacity, which shall
not exceed 80 percent of the volume of the drum and of the agitator, shall be
capable of maintaining the mixed concrete in a thoroughly mixed and uniform
mass and of discharging the concrete with a satisfactory degree of uniformity.
Mixers and agitators shall be operated within the limits of capacity and
speed of rotation designed by the manufacturer of the equipment. Units
designated as agitators shall not be used in connection with truck mixing.
When a truck mixer is used for complete mixing, each batch of concrete
shall be mixed not less than 70 nor more than 100 revolutions of the drum or
blades at the rate of rotation designated by the manufacturer of the equipment
as mixing speed. Additional mixing, if any, shall be at the speed designated
by the manufacturer of the equipment as agitating speed.
When a truck mixer is used for transporting concrete which has been
completely mixed in a stationary mixer, mixing during transportation shall be
at the speed designated by the manufacturer of the equipment as agitation
speed, and the volume of the batch shall not exceed 80 percent of the gross
drum volume.
Concrete shall be delivered to the site of the work and discharged from
the truck mixer or agitator into the forms complete within 1-1/2 hours after
the introduction of the mixing water to the cement and aggregates except that
in hot weather, or under other conditions contributing to quick stiffening of
the concrete, the maximum allowable time may be reduced by the Engineer. Each
batch shall be accompanied by a load ticket with a copy for the inspector
showing the concrete type, mixing proportions, and time mixing began.
Slump tests shall be made from time to time of indi+
at the beginning, midpoint and end of the load. If these

Mixers and agitators shall be examined daily for changes in condition due
to the accumulation of hard concrete or mortar or wear of blades. The pickup
and throw -over blades shall be replaced when any part or section is worn one
(1) inch or more below the original height of the manufacturer's design. A
.copy of the manufacturer's design, showing dimensions and arrangement of
blades, shall be available at all times.
The concrete when discharged shall be of the consistency and workability
required for the job without the use of additional mixing water. The rate of
discharge shall be controlled by the speed of rotation of drums in the
discharge direction with the discharge gate fully open.

When approved in writing by the Engineer, central -mixed concrete which is
designed for the purpose may be transported in approved non -agitating
equipment. Bodies of this equipment shall be smooth, watertight, metal
containers, equipped with gates that will permit control of the discharge of
the concrete. Covers shall be provided for protection against the weather.
The concrete shall be delivered to the site of the work in a thoroughly mixed
and uniform mass and discharged with a satisfactory degree of uniformity.
Placement in forms shall be completed within 30 minutes after introduction of
the mixing water to the cement and aggregates.
If the concrete furnished shows erratic behavior under the field
conditions, or in regard to strength of the finished product as shown by beams
or cylinder tests or in the time of initial or final set, the Contractor will,
at once, without notice from the Engineer, cease the use of ready -mixed
concrete until such corrections in procedure are made as to ensure work of a
quality satisfactory to the Engineer.
The organization supplying concrete shall have sufficient plant capacity
and transporting apparatus to ensure continuous delivery at the rate required.
The rate of delivery of concrete during concreting operations shall be such as
to provide for the proper handling, placing and finishing of the concrete.
The rates shall be such that the interval between batches shall not exceed 20
minutes. Themethods of delivering and handling the concrete shall be such as
will facilitate placing with the minimum of rehandling and without damage to
the structure of the concrete.
EXCLUSION OF CONTACT WITH ALUMINUM
Due to the adverse effect of exposing concrete to direct contact with
aluminum products, concrete truck chutes, pipes, finishing tools, etc. shall
not be constructed of aluminum. Furthermore, permanent items of construction
(i.e., anchor frames, weirs, grating, etc.) made from aluminum shall be
isolated from finished concrete through the use of bitumastic or gasket
material.
HOT WEATHER CONCRETING
Concreting operations will not be permitted when an ascending air
temperature rises above 100°F, nor resumed until a descending temperature
reached 95°F, without specific authority from the Engineer.
When operations are authorized under such conditions, or when it is
anticipated that the air temperature will rise above 95°F before the concrete
has taken its final set, the Contractor shall make whatever provisions are
necessary to insure that the relative humidity immediately adjacent to the
concrete surface(s) does not fall below the following prescribed values for a
period of at least five days after the concrete is placed (approved "curing
compounds" or "sealers" will satisfy this requirement):

REPAIRING/REPLACING DEFECTIVE CONCRETE
All concrete which, upon removal of the forms, is found to be porous or
"honey -combed" shall be immediately cut out and removed entirely from the body
of the concrete. The parts removed shall extend not less than one inch (1")
back of the reinforcement steel where such steel is present in the concrete
face which is being repaired, removing sound concrete, if necessary, to obtain
this depth. If reinforcement steel is not present, the parts removed shall
extend into the concrete not less than three inches (3") and the opening
dovetailed in such a manner that the new concrete filling will be securely
anchored. In replacing concrete so removed, forms shall be built with a spout
or hopper outside the concrete surface, which shall be filled with fresh
concrete to a point not less than twelve inches (12") above the top of the
hole caused by removing the porous concrete.
The fresh concrete shall be properly bonded to the old concrete surfaces,
as hereinbefore specified, and shall be well puddled. The hopper shall be
removed after the concrete has hardened and within twenty-four hours after the
concrete is placed, the excess concrete carefully cut away, and the surface
pointed and rubbed smooth.
Concrete already in place which is suspected of being defective (because
of "low breaks" on cylinder testing) shall be core -drilled at the Engineer's
direction and at the Contractor's expense. Should compressive testing of the
cored sample verify that the concrete is defective, then the Engineer may
direct the Contractor to remove defective portions and replace them with
satisfactory material, all at the Contractor's expense.

"Unclassified Excavation," or "Earth Excavation," or "Rock
Excavation." Proposal and contract shall mean all material
excavated and payment shall be made in accordance with measurements
as herein provided.
When trench excavation other than "Unclassified Excavation" is
specified, it shall be classified as either "Earth Excavation" or
"Rock Excavation."
Rock excavation shall comprise rock in formations in the original
bed, or well defined ledges, or detached solid masses of stone more
than one -quarter (q) cubic yard in volume, which cannot be
excavated, loosened or removed by any process other than by drilling
and blasting. No soft or disintegrated rock which can be removed
with a pick, or rock that has been broken, or previously blasted, or
broken stone in rock filling or elsewhere, will be classified as
rock excavation. This classification shall not be extended to
include materials which can be removed by means other than drilling
and blasting but which for reasons of economy in excavation, the
Contractor prefers to remove by drilling and blasting.
Earth excavation shall comprise all other materials, wet or dry, to
be excavated and removed other than those described as rock
excavation.
Unless otherwise provided for in the DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS,
payment for all classifications of excavation required for water and
sewer pipe laying shall be included in the unit price for installing
the pipe.
(c) Width of Trench - The width of the trench shall be ample to permit
the pipe to be laid and jointed properly, and the backfill to be
placed and compacted as specified. Trenches shall be of such extra
width, when required, as will permit the convenient placing of
timber supports, sheeting and bracing, and handling of specials.
(d) Bell Holes - The bottom of the trench under each bell shall be
excavated sufficiently to allow the pipe to rest throughout its
length. Bell hole excavation shall also be sufficient to allow

shall be removed to provide a clearance of at least six (6) inches
below and on each side of all pipe, valves and fittings for pipes 24
inches in diameter or less, and nine (9) inches for pipes larger
than 24 inches in diameter. Except in wet locations (see "Wet
Excavation") the trench shall then be refilled with sand to an even
surface for pipe to rest upon throughout its length. Every trench
in rock shall be fully opened at least fifty (50) feet in advance of
the place where pipe is being laid or concrete or masonry work is in
progress.
The specified minimum clearances are the minimum clear distances
which will be permitted between any part of the pipe and
appurtenances being laid and any part, projection or -point of such
rock, boulder or stone.
(f) Excavation to Grade - The trench shall be excavated to the depth
required so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and
support for the pipe on solid and undisturbed ground at every point
between bell holes, except that it will be permissible to disturb
and otherwise damage the finished surface over a maximum length of
18 inches near the middle of each length of pipe by the withdrawal
of pipe slings or other lifting tackle. Any part of the bottom of
the trench excavated below the specified grade shall be corrected
with an approved material. Approved material for pipe subgrade and
bedding shall consist of Class I, II, or III material as described
by ASTM D2487, unless otherwise set out in the DETAILED
SPECIFICATIONS. Said material shall be compacted to the density of
adjacent undisturbed soil. The finished subgrade shall be prepared
accurately by means of hand tools.
The subgrade beneath the centerline of the pipe shall be finished to
within 0.03 feet of a straight line between pipe joints or batter
boards, and all tolerances shall be above the specified grade.
If unacceptable soil conditions are encountered at subgrade which
require all or part of the work to be done in accordance with
Paragraph (g) below, the Engineer shall have the authority to order
the work to be so done, and the Contractor will be allowed extra
compensation for the additional work.
(g) Excavation in Poor Soil and Refilling to Grade - Where the bottom of
the trench at subgrade is found to be unstable Class IV or V soils
or to include ashes, cinders, all types of refuse, vegetable or
other organic materials, or large pieces or fragments of inorganic
material which, in the judgement of the Engineer, should be removed,
Water and Sewer Pipe Laying - 3
J
r
the Contractor shall excavate and remove such unsuitable material to
the width and depth ordered by the Engineer. Before the pipe is
laid, the subgrade shall be made by backfilling with an approved
material in 3 -inch uncompacted layers. The layers shall be
thoroughly tamped to the density of adjacent undisturbed soil so as
to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe
at every point between bell holes.
(h) Special Foundation in Poor Soil - Where the bottom of the trench at
subgrade is found to consist of material which is unstable to such a
degree that, in the opinion of the Engineer, it cannot be removed
and replaced with an approved material thoroughly compacted in place
to support the pipe properly, the Contractor shall construct a
foundation for the pipe, consisting of piling, timbers, or other
materials, in accordance with plans prepared by the Engineer. Extra
compensation will be allowed for the additional work.
(i) Subgrade in Rock Trenches - Where excavation is made in rock or
boulders and the clearance specified in Paragraph (e) above is
provided, the subgrade shall be made by backfilling with an approved
material in three-inch uncompacted layers. The layers shall be
thoroughly tamped to 90 percent of the material's standard density
so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and support for
the pipe at every point between bell holes. Bedding condition shall
be Type B, as prescribed by the American National Standards
Institute.
(j) Wet Excavation - When water or unstable soil is encountered in the
bottom of the trench, the Contractor will be required to excavate
below grade a minimum of six inches, and the trench will be brought
back to grade with clean crushed rock or gravel (ASTM D2487, Class I
material). Payment for overexcavation and placing of the crushed
rock may or may not be paid for, depending upon the terms of the
agreement between the Contractor and the Owner, as stipulated in the
DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS. The Contractor shall provide sufficient
pumps and other necessary equipment to keep the trench free of water
which may accumulate.
(k) Appurtenances - Unless specifically approved by the Engineer,
appurtenances such as manholes, branch crossings, etc. shall be
built as the work progresses. Excavation for manholes will be made
of such dimension and depth as to allow the construction of the
manhole as shown on the plans.
(1) Tunneling - In general, all excavation will be in open trenches.
Tunneling will be permitted only on the written order of the
Engineer or wherever shown on the plans or specified herein.

property from blasting, the charges shall be reduced and the
material shall be covered with suitable timber, steel, or rope mats.
The Contractor shall notify all owners of public utility property of
intention to use explosives at least eight hours before blasting is
done close to such property. Any supervision or direction of use of
explosives by the Engineer does not in any reduce the responsibility
of the Contractor or his surety for damage that may be caused by
such use.
(o) Care of Surface Material for Reuse - All surface materials which are
suitable for reuse in restoring the surface shall be kept separate
from the general excavation material. Said surface material shall
be replaced at the surface during backfilling.
(p) Piling Excavated Material - All excavated material shall be piled in
a manner that will not endanger the work and that will avoid
obstructing sidewalks and driveways. Hydrants under pressure, valve

such fittings as are necessary to make the proper connections shall be
installed. Wherever crosses or tees are installed for future connections, the
section of the fitting not being used shall be plugged with a standard
cast-iron plug or cap.
Wherever it is necessary to connect to existing lines in use the
Contractor shall notify the Water Superintendent of the Owner at least
twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time he is ready to make the connection.
Together with the Engineer, an agreed time shall be set for such connection to
be made. If water service is to be interrupted, the time for making the
connection shall be at the discretion of the Water Superintendent and
Engineer, and the Contractor shall make such connections at the time
specified.
When making connections to water lines in service, it is of the utmost
importance that the Contractor shall make such connections as quickly as
possible and water service shall not be cut off until the Contractor has
everything in readiness to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
No valves or hydrants in service shall be opened or closed by anyone
other than the persons authorized by the Owner.
Where connections, other than service taps are to be made under pressure
to water lines in service, standard cutting -in -sleeves and valves shall be
used. They shall be placed according to the recommendation of the
manufacturer and the instructions of the Engineer. After the sleeve, tapping
valve and all necessary equipment have been set in position the cut shall be
made in the presence of the Engineer and the Water Superintendent of the
Owner, so if trouble should develop it could be remedied in the most speedy
manner possible. Cutting -in -sleeves and valves shall be Mueller, or equal.

cases sufficient room to allow joints as herein specified shall be provided.
STERILIZATION OF PIPES
All pipes are to be sterilized, after laying is completed, by holding a
chlorine solution of at least 50 ppm strength in •the pipes for twelve (12)
hours. Sterilization may be carried on at the same time the leak test is made
as outlined above. After the lines are sterilized, samples shall be taken
from each of the respective sections of the lines and tested in an approved
laboratory. The lines shall not be placed in operation until two consecutive
samples showing negative reports are received on each of the respective
sections. Pipe used in force mains where the water is to be filtered, and for
use in sewer construction, need not be sterilized. However, pipe used in
force mains, where water is to be used without filtration, shall be
sterilized.
FENCES
Wherever the line crosses fences it shall be the duty of the Contractor
to repair such breaks as it is necessary to make. All such fences shall be
replaced to their original quality and condition. Wherever livestock is being
retained by such fencing, it shall be the duty of the Contractor to maintain
the fence in such condition at all times as will prevent the escape of such
livestock.

Job No. 82-136
Dated: October, 1982
1. SCOPE OF THE WORK. The work to be included under this contract as shown
on the Plans and provided for in the Specifications includes the furnishing of
all equipment, labor, tools, supplies., and materials required for the
construction of sewer main extension and related work as provided for in the
Proposal.
2. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS. The General Specifications covering the various
phases of work set out in these Specifications which precede the Detailed
Specifications shall govern and control all work to which,. in the opinion of
the Engineer, they apply. Since the General Specifications are, as the name
implies, general in nature, they may in some cases refer to work and
conditions not found on this project, in which case such nonapplicable
stipulations will have no meaning in this contract. In case of conflict
between General and Detailed Specifications, the Detailed Specifications shall
govern.. The General Specifications included herein are:
Concrete
Pipe and Pipe Fittings
Water and Sewer Pipe Laying
3. PAYMENT. Methods of payment provided for in the General Specifications
are in some cases superseded by specific conditions set out in the Proposal
and Detailed Specifications. In such cases, the provisions of the Proposal
and Detailed Specifications shall apply.
4. QUALITY OF THE PLANS. The Plans have been made with care but cannot be
assumed to be correct in every detail when many of the conditions to be
encountered are not shown on existing maps and are underground.
The approximate location of existing underground water, and utility lines
are shown. The placing of this information on the Plans in no way obligates
the Owner as to its correctness, as it is indicative only and is placed there
for the information and assistance to the Contractor.
J
L�I_S iI OR ATTM
r
PK
It is the expressed intent of these Plans and Specifications that the
Contractor is to make his own investigation of conditions to be encountered,
including rock and underground water, and the submission of the Proposal by
the Contractor for the work constitutes his compliance with this requirement.
5. ALTERATION OF PLANNED QUANTITIES AND CONDITIONS. The Owner reserves the
right to alter the location, grade and other conditions pertaining to the
items of construction within the Contract if it is deemed to be in the best
interest to provide the needed service and/or facilitate construction.
Likewise, the Owner may order a change in the quantity of any item, in which
case the cost to the Owner for those set items shall be based upon the unit
prices bid in the Proposal. In addition, certain items may be deleted, i.n
which case credit to the Owner will be determined also by the unit prices in
the Proposal.
6. COOPERATION WITH THE OWNER. Since the work to be done involves the
connection of sewer mains to those existing mains belonging to the City of
Fayetteville, the closest cooperation between the Contractor and the City is
required. The Contractor shall be liable for all damages of whatever type
that he may cause to the Owner's facilities.
7. PROXIMITY TO EXISTING UTILITIES. The sewer main to be constructed
hereunder will be placed in easements presently occupied by water lines, gas
lines, telephone lines, and electrical power lines. The Contractor shall
exert every effort so that the existing utility lines will not be disturbed
nor service interrupted. An attempt has been made to provide information
relative to the location and existence of these lines but in some cases it may
be that the information is incorrect or incomplete. The Contractor shall
maintain close cooperation with the facilities engineer to ascertain the
validity of the information supplied. The Contractor shall be responsible for
cost of repairs to any and all lines caused by his work hereunder.
The Plans show the approximate locations of a required high pressure gas line
crossing. It is possible that after excavating around the existing 18 -inch
sewer line and the gas line, it may be found necessary to raise the gas line
to provide adequate clearance. Should this be the case, the Contractor shall
be responsible for coordinating this work with Arkansas Western Gas Company
and paying all costs associated with same..
The Plans also show the approximate location of an existing 8 -inch water line
to be crossed by the sewer line. Prior to laying pipe out of Manhole No. 4,
the Contractor shall excavate the water line and verify its location and
elevation.
8. TRENCHING AND BACKFILLING. Trenching shall be conducted as described
under General Specifications entitled Water and Sewer Pipe Laying contained
herein. Trenching through rock shall be carried down past the prescribed
grade a minimum distance of six (6) inches. Further excavation may be ordered
by the engineer if, in his opinion, conditions so warrant to prevent future
breaking of the pipe. A fine crushed material, sand or loam shall be used

r
above the rock to cushion the pipe. Backfilling shall be conducted in a
workmanlike, conscientious manner. The trench shall be backfilled in "lifts"
not to exceed six (6) inches, each lift being tamped by hand or mechanical
means prior to placing the succeeding six inch lift. This procedure shall be
followed until a minimum of twelve inches of material has been placed over the
bell of the pipe. Material placed thusly shall consist •of only sand/clay
material. No large stones, frozen lumps, broken concrete, asphalt or other
large, hard material shall be used in the first 24 inches of the backfill.
Backfilling of street crossings and driveways shall be done entirely in six
inch lifts using SB-2 or similar granular, non -plastic material. No power
equipment normally used to push or dump earth material shall be used. Hand
filling and mechanical or hand tamping will be required, and the Engineer may
direct that the fill materials be slightly moistened to assist in its
consolidation. Materials saturated with water will not be used in the
backfill. Backfill material shall be consolidated until it reaches a density
equal to that found in the undisturbed earth adjacent to the trench. Trenches
cut for sewer main installation shall be hand -graded to eliminate high and low
places, thus preventing beam action of the pipe. Hand grading of the trench
bed and/or bedding material shall be required for proper support of the pipe.
No extra payment will be made for any special bedding or backfill materials
which may be required.
9. LAWS, CODES AND ORDINANCES. These Plans and Specifications are to be
regarded as minimum requirements. The Contractor shall further comply with
all applicable Federal, State, and Local requirements.
All material and equipment shall be new, of the best quality and design
and free from defects. All material and equipment furnished in quantity shall
be of one manufacturer for each item unless otherwise specified by the
Engineer.
10. GUARANTEE. The Contractor, by acceptance of these Plans and
Specifications and signing of contract, acknowledges his acquaintance with all
requirements and guarantees that every part going to make up the system as
herein described shall be as specified and will be erected in a most thorough
and substantial manner by experienced labor.
He guarantees that all conduit as provided in this Specification will be
free from all obstruction of every description and will be free from holes or
broken places and well bonded together.
He further guarantees to hold himself responsible for any defects which
may develop in any part of the entire system, including apparatus and
appliances as provided for under the Specifications, due to faulty
workmanship, design, or material for a period of one year from date of final
acceptance and shall repair or replace any defects occurring during this
period without cost to the Owner and to the complete satisfaction of the
Engineer.

11. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. The Plans and Specifications are to be
construed according to full intent, meaning and spirit when taken either
together or separately. Plans and Specifications taken co -jointly shall be
deemed to explain each other and be descriptive of necessary work to be
performed under this contract. Any apparent discrepancy in either Plans or
Specifications shall be promptly reported to the Engineer, who is the sole
interpreter of the meaning of the Plans and Specifications, and his directions
shall be followed. If anything is shown on the Plans and not mentioned in the
Specifications, or vice -versa, the work shall be fully executed and carried
out the same as if mentioned in the Specifications and shown on the Plans.
12. SITE INSPECTION. The Contractor shall inspect the site, study existing
conditions, check with Plans and Specifications, and be fully informed as to
work required to complete the Contract. No allowance will be made for
misunderstanding after the contract has been awarded.
13. FEES, PERMITS, ETC. The Contractor shall pay all fees, licenses,
permits, inspections, etc., incurred in obtaining services and installing work
and shall deliver to the Owner at completion of the job all permits,
inspections approvals, etc.
14. CLEAN UP. Cleaning the job site as work proceeds shall be of critical
importance under this contract. The Contractor shall be required to maintain
a separate crew, as necessary, to clean up and remove debris immediately
behind the pipe laying crew, or to otherwise provide for proper and thorough
clean up. Failure to perform this function will result in an order from the
Engineer to cease laying pipe or to cease performing other work until the
clean up is complete. Good public relations are an essential part of this
work, and the .Contractor is hereby advised accordingly. Part of the
consideration in keeping the job clean lies in constructing manholes
immediately following the pipe laying operation. In similar fashion, the
Contractor shall construct manholes promptly and backfill each as rapidly as
possible.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS FOR PAYMENT
Rock excavation will be measured daily in the open trench, only after the
Engineer has determined that the excavation qualifies as rock excavation. The
length of rock excavated, multiplied by the depth, multiplied by the width
shall determine the quantity of rock excavation. The maximum width of rock
excavation,for pay purposes shall be thirty inches (30"). The quantity of
rock excavation so determined will be paid for at the unit price bid in the
Proposal.
17. SEWER PIPE. The bid price for this item shall include trenching,
furnishing and laying pipe, backfilling, seeding, clean-up and restoration
work, testing and all work incidental to placing the sewer pipe. The pipe for
this project is to be 10 -inch or 12 -inch diameter vitrified clay or ABS truss
pipe as determined by the Owner's selection of the alternate bid items in the
Proposal. . An exception to these materials is the ductile iron pipe
specifically called for on the Plans at the crossing of Commerce Drive.The
pipe shall be laid•on the line and grade as established by the Engineer in the
field. The Engineer will establish sewer line grades at the manhole for
laying of the sewer pipeS with the use of a laser. The Contractor shall be
responsible for setting intermediate grade stakes if a laser is not used for
laying of the sewer line.
Vitrified clay sewer pipe shall be extra strength, have PVC joint
construction, and shall conform to the requirements of the General
Specifications, Pipe and Pipe Fittings.
Truss pipe shall be of ABS composite construction as manufactured by Armco, or
equal, conforming to ASTM D-2680-74 or latest revision.
Ductile iron pipe shall be Class 50 conforming to the requirements of the
General Specifications.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS FOR PAYMENT
Al] sewer pipe, as laid and accepted, will be measured in the field
through all manholes and through the street crossing. The total pipe laid and
accepted will be paid for at the unit prices per foot' bid in the Proposal.
18. MANHOLES.
The Contractor shall furnish all
tools, equipment,
labor, and
materials to
construct manholes for this
project. They
shall be
poured -in -place
concrete manholes, as shown on
the Plans. The
Contractor
shall seal around all influent and effluent
pipes with care,
to prevent
infiltration of
storm water. Manhole frames and covers shall be
of the 300
lb., street type,
and shall be placed to conform
to the grade and slope
of the
matching ground,
concrete or asphalt surface.
Special care shall be taken during construction of Manhole No. 1 on the
existing sewer line to insure no disruption in sewer service and to insure
that no construction materials or debris enter the sewer.

unit price bid in the Proposal.
19. INFILTRATION - EXFILTRATION TESTS. After lines and manholes are in place
and the ditches have settled, but before final street repair and clean-up, all
sewer lines shall be tested by the following procedure:
Air Test. The equipment for this test shall be identical or equal
to the "Air-loc" system manufactured by Cherne Industrial, Inc.,
Hopkins, Minnesota.
The test shall be conducted as follows:
1. All openings shall be plugged; one plug shall have an
inlet valve for the introduction of air pressure.
2. Internal pressure shall be brought to a 4.0 psig
(pressure is not to exceed 5.0 psig at any time).
3. After the internal pressure has stabilized for at
least two minutes, the line shall be "bled off" to a
pressure of 3.6 psig. At 3.5 psig the timing shall
begin to determine the time required for the pressure
to drop to 2.5 psig. If this time (in minutes) is
greater than that shown in the table below, the pipe
shall be considered free from defects.

20, STREET CROSSING
The sewer line crossing of Commerce Drive shall be accomplished by
boring, if possible. The extent of the required casing, its depth, size, and
location are shown on the Plans. The casing shall be smooth wall spiral weld
pipe, 0.25 inch minimum wall thickness, and both ends shall be closed with
masonry bulkheads.
If it is determined that the street crossing cannot be bored because of
rock, the Contractor shall obtain approval from and coordinate with
representatives of the City to proceed with trenching across the street. The
street shall. be trenched only half way across at any time, to allow passage
for traffic. Extreme care shall be exercised by the Contractor at all times
to assure safety for workmen and passers-by. Flags, barricades, signs,
flagmen, and battery -operated blinker lights shall be used to the fullest
extent. Pits adjacent to or near the street pavement shall be closed at the
earliest possible time. At any time pits must be left open, suitable
barricades, lights and signs shall warn all persons of the potential danger.
Where street pavement has been cut to allow trenching, the method of
repair shall be as follows: The entire trench from five feet outside the
curbs shall be backfilled with SB-2, compacted to 95% Modified Proctor
density.
Base and surface materials shall be removed back 5 feet from the edges of
the previously dug trench, a 6 -inch thick concrete slab shall be poured, and
after curing the slab shall be tacked and overlaid with 2 inch thick hot mix
asphaltic concrete. The finished asphalt surface shall be dense and smooth,
laid to neat outside lines, and shall match the adjoining pavement surfaces.
The street right-of-way shall be kept clear of all unnecessary obstruction,
and, at the completion of crossing the street, the premises shall be cleaned
and dressed to immediately eliminate all hazards to vehicular traffic.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS FOR PAYMENT
