, hereinafter called the
CONTRACTOR.
WITNESSETH: That Whereas, the OWNER has called for bids
on street and storm drainage construction in a certain area
of Fayetteville, Arkansas as set out:in these Plans and
Specifications and,
WHEREAS, the CONTRACTOR has submitted the best bid for
the work set out in these Plans and Specifications,
NOW, THEREFORE, the CONTRACTOR agrees with the OWNER to
furnish all materials, labor, equipment, tools, supervision,
insurance, and other accessories and services necessary to
complete the work in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications for the unit and lump sum prices bid in the
Proposal, said Proposal being a part of this Contract.
The CONTRACTOR agrees to commence work on or before a
date to be specified in a written "Notice to Proceed" from
the OWNER and to fully complete the project within 40 working
days •thereafter. The CONTRACTOR also agrees to pay as
liquidated damages the sum of $300.00 for each consecutive
calendar day thereafter that is required to complete the
pro3ect, plus attorney's fees and an amount to be set by the
court, court costs, and all other costs of collection if said
liquidated damages are not paid to the OWNER within 10 days
of demand for payment by certified mail, return receipt
requested.
The OWNER agrees to pay the CONTRACTOR in current funds
for the performance of the Contract in accordance with the
accepted Proposal therefore, subject to additions and
deductions, as provided in the Standard and Detailed
Specifications, and to make payment on account there as
provided below:
As soon as is practicable after the first of each
calendar month, the OWNER will make partial payments to the
CONTRACTOR for work performed during the preceding calendar
month, based upon the Engineer's estimate of work completed,
said estimate being certified by the CONTRACTOR and accepted
by the OWNER. Upon completion of work and final acceptance
.
by the OWNER and Engineer, the Engineer shall issue a Final
Estimate of work done based upon the original Contract and
* A unit price proposal in the amount of $301,939.65
subsequent changes made and agreed upon, if any.
Time is hereby expressly declared to be of the essence
on this Contract, and the time of beginning, manner of
progress and time of completion of the work hereunder, shall
be, and are essential conditions hereof.
If the CONTRACTOR be delayed at any time in the progress
of .the work by any act or neglect of the OWNER or of his
employees, or by any other Contractor employed by the OWNER,
or by changes ordered in the work, or by strikes, lockouts,
fire, unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties
or any causes beyond the CONTRACTOR'S 'control, or by delay
authorized by the Engineer pending arbitration, or by any
cause which the Engineer shall decide to justify the delay,
then the time of completion shall be extended for such
reasonable time as the Engineer may decide. Similarly,
should the CONTRACTOR be unable to complete the work due to
persistent inclement weather or because of delays in delivery
of necessary construction components, allowances shall be
made in the completion time. No such extension shall be made
for delay occurring more than seven days before claim
therefore is made in writing to the Engineer. In the case of
a continuing cause of delay, only one claim is necessary.
In the event the CONTRACTOR abandons the work hereunder
or fails, neglects or refuses to continue the work after ten
(10) days written notice, given CONTRACTOR by OWNER or by the
Engineer, then the OWNER shall have the option of declaring
this Contract at an •end, in which event, the OWNER shall not
be liable to the'CONTRACTOR for any work theretofore
performed hereunder, said OWNER may complete the said
Contract at his own expense, and maintain an action against
the CONTRACTOR for the actual cost of same.
The waiving of any one or more of the covenants of• this
Contract on the part of any party thereto shall be limited to
that particular instance, and shall not be deemed a waiver of
any other breaches or covenants at any time.
• In the event any part of this Contract is found to be
unenforceable for any reason, all other parts of this
Contract shall remain in full force and effect.
This Contract shall be binding upon the heirs,
representatives, successors, or assigns of the parties
hereto:

travel or occupance by any person', as these responsibilities are

may require standard safety procedure to be initiated, but the
requirement of these procedures does not constitute a guarantee by
the Engineer as to their adequacy or the safety of the public.

undertaken, the Engineer will set such control lines and basic
elevations as are required for the Contractor to make such unit or
plant layouts as are required. When work is undertaken which

Upon removal of forms, any honeycombed areas shall be
'
immediately removed or repaired. Loose rock and concrete shall be
removed, the honeycombed area keyed with a chisel or other means,
and anon -shrink grout applied. Should there be any areas which,
' in the opinion of the Engineer, are honeycombed to such an extent
that the structural strength or aesthetic value of the concrete
has been reduced to an unacceptable level, the concrete shall be
' removed and replaced. The area to be removed shall be as directed
by the Engineer and may extend beyond the flawed area in order to

shall be obtained. Fins and irregular projections shall be
' removed from surfaces. Cavities produced by form ties and all
other holes, broken corners or edges, and other defects shall be
thoroughly cleaned and carefully pointed and trued with mortar.
' The resulting surface shall be true and uniform.
The exposed face(s) of formed concrete (i.e., headwalls,
wingwalls, etc.) shall receive a Class 2, Rubbed Finish. The
' rubbing of concrete shall start as soon as conditions will permit
after the removal of forms. Surfaces to be finished shall be
saturated with water and rubbed with a medium coarse Carborundum
' stone, using a.small amount of mortar on •its face. Rubbing shall
be continued until form marks, projections and irregularities have
I
t
I
' been removed, voids filled, and a uniform surface has been
obtained. The final finish shall be obtained by rubbing with a
fine Carborundum stone and water until the entire surface is of a
smooth texture and uniform color.
I. Unless otherwise specified, the exposed horizontal surface of
concrete shall receive a Class 3, Brush Finish. After the
concrete has been placed, consolidated, screeded, and laitance
removed, the surface shall be finished by dragging a wire or fiber
broom across the surface transverse to the centerline of the
surface. The resulting grooves shall be substantially from 1/16
to 3/16 inch in depth.
8. Tolerances. Reinforcing steel shall be placed within
1/2 inch of planned spacing and within 1/4 inch of planned
' clearance form face of concrete. Unless otherwise specified
concrete shall be placed to within + 1 inch of plan grade.

be at design strength.. No fill shall be placed over a concrete
structure in less than 14 days from completion of the structure,
and then only if concrete test cylinders indicate the concrete to
be at design strength. Bridges shall not be opened to traffic in
' less than 28 days from completion unless otherwise approved by the
Engineer.
12. Testing. •A minimum of one set of concrete test
'
cylinders -shall be made each day that concrete is placed, further
provided that one set shall be made for each 50 cubic yards, or
increment thereof, placed each day. A set shall consist of a
' minimum of 3 cylinders. The cylinders shall be made and tested by
an independent engineering testing laboratory, or the Contractor
I
I
may make the cylinders in the presence of the Engineer and deliver
' the cylinders to the laboratory for testing. One cylinder shall
be tested at 7 days from date of placement. Should the 7 day test
result be less than design strength, a second cylinder shall be
tested at 28 days, or a lesser period' if approved by the Engineer.
Should test specimens indicate that the in -place concrete is
not at design strength 28 days from date of completion, the
' Contractor may be required to provide cores'ofthe in -place
concrete, of the diameter required by:the Engineer, for testing.
Should these tests of the in -place concrete indicate a strength
' less than design, the Contractor may be required to remove and
replace the inferior concrete. In order to retain the structural
integrity or, in the case of exposed concrete, to maintain the
aesthetic value of the work, additional concrete may be required
to be removed and replaced.
Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall be
' responsible for all costs associated with the compression testing
of concrete.
The Engineer may at any time make, or have made, slump and
' air entrainment tests of the concrete being placed. The
Contractor shall cooperate with the Engineer in taking of the
sample and the making of these tests.' Any concrete not meeting
' the Specifications for the Class of concrete being placed shall be
immediately corrected or removed from the job. The Contractor
shall not be responsible for any costs associated with slump and
air tests.
13. Corrections to Work. The Contractor shall be completely
responsible for providing concrete of!the quality specified and
' placing the concrete to the lines and grades shown on the Plans
within the tolerances specified. The costs for any and all work
and materials required to being the finished product is not in
compliance with the Plans and Specifications, including the
removal and replacement of concrete, shall be the responsibility
of the Contractor. The Contractor shall not grumble or gripe to
' the Engineer and shall maintain a pleasant attitude while making
corrections.
14. Method of Measurement. Where work is performed under a
' unit price contract the Engineer shall measure the actual work
completed which is in compliance with the Plans and Specifi-
cations. No additional payment shall be made for materials
extending beyond plan depths of limits (i.e., concrete in
footings, base under paving, etc.).
15. Basis of Payment. The Engineer's measurements shall be
used as the basis for payment. Where work is bid on a "lump sum"
or "per each" basis, payment for work partially completed may be
made, at the discretion of the Engineer, with periodic estimates.
' No payment will be made at any time for work which is not in
compliance with the Plans and Specifications.
