II -12 CROSSING LAWNS:
The following shall apply to all lines crossing lawns, as
designed on the Plans. After settlement has occurred, the disturbed areas
shall be dressed out with three (3) to four (4) inches of top soil. The
dressed out areas shall then be seeded with the appropriate grass or grass
mixture.
If lawns, bushes and small trees are likely to be damaged by
the work, they shall be taken up ahead of construction. They shall be
properly protected until such time that they can be re -set.
It is the intention of this specification that lawns be
restored as closely as possible to their original condition. The cost of all
work under this section shall be included in the appropriate unit price for
pipe and shall not be paid for separately.
II -13 TESTING AND STERILIZING WATER MAINS:
Water mains shall be subject to 200 psi test as herein specified.
All lines shall be backfilled and concrete backing installed at points of
unbalanced pressure prior to the initiation of any pressure test.
Each valved section of the pipe lines as selected by the Engineer
for test shall beslowly filled with water. Before applying the test pressure
for 200 psi, all air shall be expelled from the pipe by blowing -off at fire
hydrants. If necessary to properly expel air prior to test, Contractor will
tap lines at high points with corporation stops.
Each section of pipe line to be tested shall be subjected to
200 psi test pressure, based on the elevation of the lowest point in the line
or section of line under test and corrected to the elevation of the test
gauge. Duration of 200 psi test shall be for at least two (2) hours in all
cases.
Pressure shall be applied to the line by means of a pump,
pipe connections, and all other necessary apparatus for applying pressure and
measuring the resultant leakage from the line under test. All such apparatus
shall be furnished by the Contractor. All necessary taps will be made by City
forces at the expense of the Contractor. Pressure will be measured with
gauges as furnished by the Engineer.
While the pipe being tested is under pressure, it shall be
walked to check for leakage appearing at the surface of the ground or from
any exposed valves or other appurtenances.
In conjunction with the 200 psi pressure test, a leakage test
shall be performed. Contractor shall provide necessary meter or pumping
reservoir or other satisfactory means of determining the amount of water
pumped into the line to sustain the specified test pressure of 200 psi.
Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be supplied into
the newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, to maintain the specified
leakage test pressure of 200 psi after the air in the pipe has been expelled
and the line filled with water.
I' DS -9
Leakage shall be no more than that allowed by AWWA specifications.
All pipe lines shall be checked for leaks and deficiencies,
repaired, and retested if necessary until they pass the above specified leakage
test for the size and type of pipe installed.
Even though pipe lines may pass the leakage test, any leaks
apparent at the ground's surface, any leaking joints, fittings, or appurtenances
that are detected shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
All new water line extensions will be sterilized with chlorine
before being accepted by the Owner and placed into service•. Sodium or
calcium hypochlorite (HTHO or chlorine gas may be used in such amounts as
to provide a dosage of not less than 50 parts per million in the piping
being sterilized. The sterilizing agent -may be introduced in any manner so
as to provide uniform distribution along the pipe line. All in -line valves
in water lines being sterilized shall be opened and closed several times
during the sterilizing period. Contractor will use extreme caution to be
certain that strong sterilizing agent is not flushed back into anv cart of th,
on in such a manner that it reaches wa
ng
a contact period of at least 24 hours the heavily chlorinated sterilizing
water shall be completely flushed from all pipes, and the pipes rinsed and
thoroughly flushed with large quantities of clear water. Samples shall be
taken from all water line extensions as directed by the Engineer and analyzed
for bacterial purity by the State Department of Health. The sterilizing process
shall be repeated as necessary until all samples indicate that the water is
safe and approved, by the State Department of Health Resterilization of the
water lines at the Contractor's expense shall be required if State Department
of Health approval has not been received after three weeks of testing.
Water for all sterilizing and testing operations will be
furnished the Contractor by the Owner at no cost to the Contractor.
The cost of all sterilizing and testing operations including
pipe taps, sterilant, any temporary valves or caps, test pumping and equipment,
and all work incidental thereto will be included in the unit contract prices
for pipe, and no separate payment will be made for testing and sterilizing
water line extensions.
II -14 CROSSING FENCES:
The
installation
of lines
will
necessitate crossing several
fences as shown
on
the
Plans.
Fences will be repaired by the Contractor so as to be equal or
better than their original condition prior to construction. Before cutting
fences, adequate horizontal bracing will be installed in the fence on each side

shall be so planned and executed that the various portions of the work will
be carried on concurrently and the whole completed within the time allowed.
Water main connections requiring shut -down of water service
to users shall be coordinated through the City Engineer.
II -2 EXCAVATION - GENERAL:
All excavation shall be carried accurately to the line and
grade shown on the Plans and established by the Engineer. When excavation
is carried below or beyond that required, the space shall be filled for
compacted SB-2. No claim for additional compensation shall be made for
such backfilling of excess excavation unless the Contracting Authority or
its agent is responsible for the error.
' When necessary to protect the laborers, the work, or adjacent
property, the Contractor shall provide and install shoring. Such shoring
shall remain in place until the backfill has proce€ded to a point where it
' can be safely removed, except that, if in the opinion of the City Engineer
damage is liable to result from withdrawing shoring, it shall remain in
place.
II -3 EXCAVATION - TRENCHES FOR WATER MAINS:
Trenches for water lines shall be the width and depth necessary
for the proper installation of the pipe. All pipe lines shall be laid in
' trenches of such depth as to provide a minimum cover ofthirty-six -six inches
over the top of pipe barrel unless otherwise shown on the Plans. Contractor
shall increase depth as necessary for crossing other pipe lines and to provide
' required cover for valves and valve boxes. Trench will be deepened to the
extent necessary so as not to exceed the maximum permissible deflection of
the pipe being installed, with maximum permissible deflection being as
recommended by the pipe manufacturer.
Width of pipe trench for all water lines shall be adequate for
' the installation of the pipe and make-up joints, but in no case shall the
width of the trench at the top of the pipe be wider than the outside diameter
of the pipe plus two (2) feet.
' The bottom of the trench shall be accurately graded so that the
pipe will be in continuous and uniform contact with and have a longitudinal
I. bearing on undisturbed soil for the full length of the pipe, except for such
distance as necessary for adequate bell holes and proper sealing of the
pipe joints.

OS -3
If the soil at the bottom of the trench is mucky or if the
subgrade is too soft to properly support the pipe, the Contractor shall
excavate below the lower extremity of the pipe as directed by the Engineer,
and place a cushion of sand, gravel, or crushed stone thoroughly tamped into
place to receive the pipe. Material used for this purpose shall be SB-2.
II -4 EXCAVATION - ROCK IN TRENCHES:
Rock excavation shall be defined as solid rock in formation
which cannot be excavated efficiently by adequate power shovels or excavators
of recognized standard manufacture in good condition and adequate size, well
handled by skilled operators; and boulders or pieces of detached rock, which
may be embedded in materials not classed as rock, exceeding ten (1) cubic
feet in volume.
The term "excavated efficiently" as used in this Specification
shall mean that where formation rock can be excavated at a lower cost per
cubic yard of useful excavation by blasting, barring, or wedging, it shall
be so excavated and will be classified as rock.
The Contractor's attention is called to the fact that a shale
formation exists in Fayetteville that generally can be dug and, therefore
this material will not be classified as rock except where it cannot be
efficiently excavated as defined above.
The volume of rock excavation shall 'be determined by the
horizontal measurement of length of trench in which rock occurs, the vertical
measurement of depth of rock and a width of "D". "D" shall be the nominal
diameter of the pipe plus 15 inches, but not less than 24 inches.
II -5 EXCAVATION - CLASSIFICATION, MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:
All excavation not classed as rock shall be classed as
common excavation.
The volumes of rock excavation shall be determined per Section
II -4 of these Specifications. Rock excavation shall be paid for at the unit
contract price given in the Proposal.
The cost of all common excavation in trenches for water mains
shall be included in the contract unit price for pipe and shall not be paid
for separately. All rock excavation in trenches for water mains shall be.
measured and paid for as rock excavation.

The cost of all work under this Section shall be included in
the Contract unit price for rock excavation and will not be paid for separately.
II -7 BACKFILLING:
All trenches shall be backfilled immediately after the pipe is
laid using methods that will not disturb the pipe. Material used for backfilling
shall consist of the excavation or borrow of sand, gravel, or other material
approved by the Engineer, and shall be free of trash, lumber and other debris.
After the pipework has been approved, trenches shall be backfilled
with fine, loose earth free from clods or stones larger than three (3) inches in
any dimension, and of proper moisture content. This selected material shall be
carefully deposited by hand in layers not to exceed four (4) inches in thickness
on both sides of the pipe and thoroughly and carefully rammed around the pipe
until the backfill has been brought up to the springline of the pipe. The back -
fill shall then continue without tamping but with same material,•placed by hand,
to a point at least twelve (12) inches above the top of the pipe. If the
excavation is not suitable for this purpose, as determined by the Engineer, then
SB-2 shall be used for this operation.. The remainder of the backfill may then be
backfilled by any approved method which will not injure or disturb the pipe.
Trenches outside the public right-of-way will be neatly graded up
I. and left slightly "over -full" so that subsequent settlement will leave the route
level with the surrounding terrain. Trench on public property shall be filled
and refilled as necessary to provide a smooth, well -graded appearance.
' All backfill shall be settled and consolidated until further
settlement will not. occur. It is the intent of this Specification that the
' Contractor shall be responsible for settlement of backfill in all work covered
herein. He shall refill trenches as often as necessary to bring them back to
original grade, and during that period settlement is occuring shall refill them
' often enough to avoid hazardous conditions or inconvenience.
All excavated material which is unsuitable, or not needed for
' backfill shall be wasted or disposed of to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Surfaces shall be cleaned up, all hummocks and piles smoothed down and the
' surface left neat and workmanlike. Where existing drainage ditches are
disturbed or obstructed with excavated material, such material shall be
entirely removed and the ditch left true to original line and grade. Street
' shoulders shall be restored to their original contours.

by the City of Fayetteville.
II -8 HANDLING AND LAYING OF WATER PIPE:
' In the transportation, unloading, and handling of water pipe,
the pipe shall not be dropped, let roll and collide with another pipe, or be
' subjected to any unnecessary jar, impact, or other treatment that might crack
or otherwise damage the pipe.
U. Before laying pipe in trench, the bottom of the trench shall be
carefully graded and prepared and bell holes excavated so the pipe shall have
a uniform support along its entire length, except at bell holes, and shall
' not be allowed to rest on hard supports through a portion of its length only.
All pipe shall have at least 36 inches of cover, unless otherwise shown on the
Plans.
Deflections from a straight line or grade, as required by vertical
curves, horizontal curves, or offsets, shall not exceed 6/D. inches per linear
foot of pipe, where D represents the nominal diameter.df the pipe expressed in
inches, between the centerlines extended between any two connecting pipes.
If the alignment requires deflections in excess of these limitations, special
bends, or a sufficient number of shorter lengths of pipe shall be furnished
to provide angular deflections within the limit set forth above, as approved
by the Engineer.
The inside of the pipe and all parts involved in jointing shall
be cleaned of all dirt, mud, grease, and other foreign material before the
pipe is laid or the joint started. Ends of pipe shall be temporarily plugged
at the close of each day's work.

II -11 CUTTING AND REPLACING SPECIAL SURFACES:
Whenever it becomes necessary in excavating for trench to disturb
special surfaces, such as paved or gravel streets, drives, walks, or parking
areas, the original surface shall be restored after completion of the backfill
operation. In these instances, special care shall be used in making the backfill
Ito eliminate future settlement. The surface shall be restored using the same
type of surfacing materials that were used in the original surfacing.
I. Backfill of trench lying within roadways shall be in strict
accordance with the applicable provisions as stated in Section II -7 of these
Specifications. The condition of the backfill, with special regard to the
degree of compaction, shall be checked and approved by the Engineer before
any surfacing is placed over the backfill.
The replacement of special surfacing shall follow as soon
as practical after the completion of the backfilling operation so as to
restore the roadway to its original condition and traffic capacity. If in
the opinion of the Engineer the replacement of surfacing is lagging, he may,
at his discretion, stop the pipe laying operation until the replacement of
surfacing proceeds in a satisfactory manner.
Immediately prior to replacing asphalt or concrete pavement or
surfacing, a chalk line shall be made along both sides of the trench at the
proper width, and the pavement trimmed, along a straight and vertical line.
No claims will be allowed for additional width of pavement cut and replaced
occasioned by this requirement. The quanitity of asphalt and concrete
pavement cut and replaced will be determined by the horizontal length of
pavement actually cut and replaced measured along the centerline of the trench
multiplied by a width of thirty. -six (36) inches, except that where a width
greater than thirty-six (36) inches is required and authorized by the Engineer,
the actual width of pavement cut and replaced shall be used in determining
the quantity of pavement cut and replaced.

In gravel surfaced streets or parking areas, the gravel will be
disturbed in excavating for sewer trench. After the backfill has been so placed
that no further appreciable settlement will occur, gravel surfacing shall be
replaced to the same compacted thickness as the original surfacing. During
construction operations, the gravel on the remainder of the street not
occupied by the trench may be disturbed and covered with dirt from the
excavation. After completion of the backfill, such dirt shall be removed as
completely as possible and additional gravel placed on the street as directed
by the Engineer until the street is satisfactorily restored to its
original condition.

13-01. GENERAL: Obstructions shown on the drawings or encountered during
' construction shall be removed, relocated, reconstructed, or worked around ex-
cept privately owned items on public property and public utilities operated
under franchises will be removed or relocated by the respective owner. Definite
' information as to the exact location of all underground facilities and services
is not available, and the Contractor shall establish their location by digging
in advance or machine operations. Publicly owned items designated for salvage
shall be removed carefully to prevent damage, and shall be loaded, hauled and
stored at designated watehouses or yards. Unless further excavation is requir-
ed for construction at the location, backfilling of the spaced occupied by the
' obstructions shall be as specified for backfilling of structures. Backfill
shall be compacted as specified or required. Surplus and waste material shall
be disposed of at designated or approved locations. No separate or additional
' payment will be made for the removal, relocation or reconstruction of items
except those items listed on the Proposal and specified to be paid for in "Basis
of Payment". All costs for the removal, relocation or reconstruction of other
' items shall be considered subsidiary to the cost of new construction at the
location.
' 13-02. MANHOLES: Tops of existing manholes not conforming to revised finish
grade shall be raised or lowered as required. Manhole neck shall be raised or
lowered as required. Manhole neck shall be removed to extent necessary and shall
' be cleaned of mortar and dirt. Contractor shall furnish mortar, concrete and any
additional brick when needed. Existing castings shall be removed and reset at
required elevation.

titled "Concrete Work".
' 13-03. CONCRETE AND BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT: Concrete slabs, concrete pavement,
bituminous pavement and base and pavement overlay of concrete or bituminous
material designated for removal shall be cut in lines approximately straight and
parallel, vertical to the surface. Slabs, pavements or overlay shall be broken
out and entirely removed, complete with underlying base, and rubble shall be
I. wasted at designated or approved locations. Area from which pavement was removed
shall be backfilled or further excavated as required for construction at the
location. Where designated, pavement shall be replaced in accordance with the
details shown on the drawings.
13-04. CURB AND.GUTTER: Curb and gutter designated for removal shall be ex-
cavated as required, broken out and entirely removed, and all waste material
disposed of as directed. The area shall then be backfilled or further excavated
as required for new construction at the location.

13-05. DRAINAGE PIPE: Irrespective of type, the Engineer will designate
those to be salvaged and those to be torn out and disposed of as waste. If
such determination cannot be made by preliminary excavation, the pipe shall
be excavated by the Contractor to expose it for further inspection. Pipe de-
signated for salvage shall be excavated, removed, transported, and stored in
a designated location, using due care to prevent damage to the pipe throughout
the operations. Pipe designated as unsuitable for salvage or reuse may be re-
moved by such method as the Contractor may elect and disposed of as directed;
after being placed at the side or the ditch for inspection by the Engineer,
and paid for as specified for residential or arterial grading.
13-06. PRIVATELY OWNED OBSTRUCTION: On public property, such as fences,
small buildings, or similar obstructions, will be removed by their respective
owners upon notification from the City. Should progress of the work be unduly
delayed through such procedures, the Contractor may remove, relocate or recon-
struct portions of fences at his own responsibility and expense, or by separate
negotiations with the respective owner.
13-07. SODDED AND LANDSCAPED AREAS: Such as parkings on or adjacent to im-
proved property shall be disturbed only to the extent required to permit
construction. Such areas shall not be used as storage sites for construction
supplies and, insofar as practicable, shall be kept free from stockpiles of
excavated materials. Upon completion of backfilling at each location, sod
shall be replaced and the entire area restored to a condition fully equivalent
to the original.
13-08. PUBLIC UTILITIES: Public utility pipelines, poles, cable, conduits
and wires which interfere with construction shall be by-passed or worked around
by hand excavating, tunneling or other approved methods, at the Contractor's
expense, where practical. Where not possible to bypass or work around the
facility, the facility shall be removed or relocated by the respective utility
company upon notification that such removal or relocation work is necessary to
permit new, construction to lines and grades designated. Cost of such removal or
relocation work shall be borne by the utility company. The Engineer shall notify
the utility company in writing of the approximate date of which construction work
will begin. Such notice shall be given sufficiently in advance of beginning on
construction to allow adequate time for the removal or relocation work to be
accomplished by the utility company without interfering with construction schedules.
In the event that required removal or relocation work has not been accomplished
prior to construction at the location, the obstructing facility may be removed
or relocated by the Contractor at the expense of the utility company.

TREE REMOVAL
16-01. GENERAL: This item shall consist or removing and disposing of those
trees, within the public right-of-way or upon the owners property, as designated
by the Engineer, or as shown on the plans, in accordance with the following
' specifications.
a. Definition: For the purpose of the specification, a tree by
definition shall be a large woody perennial plant with one main truck and many
'
branches, having an average caliper of no less than four (4) inches as measured
four feet above the existing ground surface.
' b. Limits of Removal: For water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and all
other sub -surface excavations, the complete tree, including roots, within the
excavation pay limits shall be removed and disposed of.
For water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and all other sub -surface excavation,
' where a tree and/or its root system will suffer irreparable damage because of
its close proximity to the excavation pay limits, upon the authorization of the
Engineer, the tree shall be removed, the stump shall be cut to one (1) foot
' below the existing ground surface, and the root system within the excavation
pay limits shall be removed.
In roadway cuts, all trees designated for removal and disposal shall have their
stumps and roots removed to a depth of not less than 18 inches below the finished
grade. In areas under roadway embankment from which topsoil or unsuitable
I. materials are to be removed, or which are designated to be compacted, all trees
designated for removal and disposal shall have their stumps and roots removed
to a depth of not less than 6 inches below the original surface. In all other
' areas under roadway embankments, all trees designated for removal and disposal
shall have their stumps and roots removed to a depth of not less than 18 inches
below the finished grade and not more than 12 inches above the original ground
' surface.
In cases where existing permanent structure and/or existing permanent surfacing
' are (is) located adjacent to trees designated for removal and disposal, the
corresponding stumps and roots within the construction limits, as shown on the
plans, shall be removed as hereinbefore described.
c. Procedures: Trees designated for removal and disposal shall be
cut down and trimmed in such manner that adjacent property including any overhead
' cables is (are) not endangered. Trees removed may not be disposed of by open
burning.

SECTION 18
' TESTING
18-01. TESTING: SEWER LINES: Test for watertightness shall be made by the
Contractor in the presence or the Engineer.
' Tests shall be made at such times as may be requested by the Engineer. If the
tests at the lower sections of the sewer line are satisfactory, such result
shall be the basis upon which subsequent work may be judged but this shall not
' relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of further testing when so requested
by the Engineer.
The sewer line shall not leak under exterior ground water pressure, infiltration,
in excess of a rate of 200 gallons per inch of pipe diameter per mile per day.
If leakage exceeds the above stated amount, the sewer line shall be repaired
' until the infiltration comes within the allowable limit.
At the option of the Engineer, the sewer lines shall be tested by subjecting the
sewer lines to internal water pressure and measureing the quantity of infiltra-
tion. Reaches or sections of the sewer line to be tested shall be determined by
the Engineer. The reach or section of sewer line lying between two or more
consecutive manholes, including the manholes at the upper ends of the section
selected. The procedure for testing shall be as follows: The outlet sewer line
at the lower manhole and the inlet sewer line at the upper shall be closed with
' stoppers. The upper manhole shall be filled with water to the top rim of the
manhole ring, except, that filling of the manholes shall be limited to a maximum
water depth of fifteen feet. The leakage shall be calculated from the drop in
' water level in the upper manhole and the leakage measured by this method shall
not exceed the allowable leakage specified in the preceding paragraph.
18-02. TESTING PRESSURE LINES:
(WATER AND SEWER) Test for watertightness shall be made by the
Contractor in the presence of the Engineer and in accordance with AWWA specifi-
cation C 600-82 Section 4. The maximum allowable amount of leakage for
I.
lines shall not exceed that set forth by AWWA Standard C 600-82, Section 4.2.2.
When testing against closed metal seated valves an additional leakage per closed
valve of 0.0078 gal/hr/in of nominal valve size is allowed.
Tests shall be made at such time as requested by the Engineer. After completion
of installation of the pipeline, a test of tightness of leakage of the joints
shall be made by applying pressure on the line by means of a test pump hydro-
statically.
IL

The pressure line shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of at least 1.5 x
' the working pressure at the point of testing.
IA leakage test shall be conducted concurrently with the pressure test.
Leakage shall be defined as the quantity or water that must be supplied into
' the newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, to maintain pressure within
5 psi of the specified test pressure after the air in the pipeline has been
expelled and the pipe has been filled with water.
' No pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage is greater than that de-
termined by the following formula:
' L _ SDVP
133,200
' in which L is the allowable leakage, in gallons per hour; S is the length
of the pipe being tested; D is the nominal diameter of the pipe, in inches;
and P is the average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per
square inch guage.

items
of trenching-backfilling-compaction.
21-03. BRACING AND SHEETING: In congested areas where due to narrowness of
right-of-way, traffic, and adjacent utility lines, buildings, etc., it is not
possible to slope the trench sides, the Contractor shall be required to keep the
sides of the excavation as nearly vertical as possible by bracing, use of sheet
piling or using a moveable "boot" or "caisson", unless otherwise specified herein.
Failure to properly brace and sheet trenches shall be at the risk of the Contractor,
and where such failure results in slides or caving, producing unusual or excessive
loading on the sewer, the Contractor shall be required to remove and replace the
sewer with whatever type of construction the Engineer -Inspector may require, with
no extra allowance for materials or labor. The Contractor shall be responsible
for damage to other utilities, buildings and structures resulting from trench
earth slides, caving or other failures. No extra payment will be made for sheet-
ing, bracing or "boot -caisson" since such extra costs shall have been included in
the bid prices. No sheeting or bracing, where used, shall be removed until suff-
icient backfill is in place to protect the pipe, and the adjacent street, alley
or easement surface and structures from damage by sliding and caving -in of trench
sides. No extra compensation shall be allowed for the handling of excavated
material in alleys, easement, streets or other confined areas.
21-04. OPEN TRENCH: The Contractor shall not open up more trench in advance
of pipe laying than is necessary to expedite the work, and in no event shall the
length of a continuous open trench at the job site exceed three (3) blocks. A
block shall mean the length of a block between streets in which the work is being
done, but not to exceed 660 feet. In no case (platted or unplatted area) shall
the continuous length of open trench exceed 1,980 feet. In no case shall the
length of open trench without pipe therein exceed 330 feet. Trenching shall be
done far enough in advance of pipe laying so as to allow the Engineer to make
necessary grade changes without the use of extra fittings. If this procedure
is not followed and it becomes necessary to either raise or lower or swing the
new pipe line around obstructions due to change in grade, or alignment, it shall
be done at the expense of the Contractor. If any extra fittings or pipe are
found necessary for the above reasons, they shall also be at no expense to the
Owner.
21-05. MANHOLE EXCAVATION: The sides of the excavation made for manholes and
other concrete structures may serve as the outside form, if in the opinion of the
Engineer the earth sides of the excavation are satisfactory and the concrete will
not dry out too rapidly and if first class work can be assured in this manner.
No additional compensation shall be allowed for excavating manholes, over the
unit price bid for the various sizes or types of manholes in place at the various
depths.
21-06. ROCK EXCAVATION: Rock is here defined as material which cannot be
excavated without drilling and blasting, wedging, sledging or barring. All stone
or boulders less than eight (8) cubic feet in volume will be classified as earth,
and all larger boulders shall be classified as rock. If blasting is necessary
to excavate such materials as shale, hardpan, soft sandstone, cemented gravel,
caliche, or,loose rock, which normally can be classified as earth excavation,
21-2
II
I. .
1
' then this excavation shall be classified as rock excavation. Whenever a ledge
of solid rock is encountered with earth below it or where alternate layers of
solid rock and earth occur, the earth shall be included in the allowance for
' rock when the thickness of the layer of earth is less than twelve (12) inches
thus requiring it to be removed by blasting along with the ledges of rock.
The Engineer -Inspector shall in all cases decide whether blasting is necessary
' or not.
Whenever rock is encountered in the trench or elsewhere, in any excavation re-
quired to be made, it shall be excavated to the line and grade as shown on the
plans for trench cuts and backfill in rock, unless otherwise directed by the
Engineer.
'For trenches in general, rock shall be excavated to a depth of four (4) inches
minimum below the outside bottom of the conduit except at points of rock and
' earth transitions at which points the rock shall be excavated to a minimum of
twelve inches (12") below the outside bottom of the conduit. Any depression
in the bottom of the trench caused by overshooting and/or excavating and being
' six inches (6") or greater in depth from a theoretical bottom of trench grade
shall be filled to the theoretical bottom of trench grade with graded gravel
of the gradations as shown on the plans or as approved by the Engineer.
' Rock excavation, including removal and disposal, shall be paid for on the basis
of the unit bid prices and shall be measured by the cubic yard of rock in its
' original position within the limits of a trench having a bottom width 16" greater
than the outside diameter of the pipe and sides sloping outward with a batter of
one inch per foot beginning at a point 12" above the top of pipe. Rock excavated
' outside these limits will not be paid for. Payment for rock excavation will be
in addition to payment for trenching-backfilling-compaction in the various in-
crements of cut.
' 21-07. BLASTING: Where blasting is necessary suitable weighted coverings
or mats shall be provided to confine all materials lifted by the blasting within
' the limits of the trench and to prevent injury of life and property. Blasting
shall be under the supervision of a person, qualifed and experienced in the use
and handling of explosives.
' 21-08. BACKFILLING:
' a. On all trenches and excavations the earth used in backfilling
shall consist of the original excavated material or materials as required by
the Engineer -Inspector in a finely divided form, free of large lumps, large
t stones and rocks, pieces of old concrete, asphalt pavement, or oil pavement,
and large wet or gummy masses, and shall be sufficiently moistened to permit
good compacting but not sufficient to cause the backfill material to lump or
' form a ball when squeezed. Moistening water shall be added only in the amount
required to achieve approximate optimum moisture content for the soil encountered,
and the moistening water shall be thoroughly worked into the backfill material.
' No extra payment shall be allowed for the removal of rocks, large lumps of dirt,
broken concrete -asphalt -oil payment, etc., from the backfill material.
L
21-3
When in the course of trench or other excavation any material in encountered
which in the opinion of the Engineer is unsatisfactory for backfill, this
material shall be removed from the site and disposed of by the Contractor. A
select material, provided by the Contractor and satisfactory to the Engineer,
shall be substituted for backfill purposes.
The payment for this material shall be based on the unit bid price for "Providing
Select Backfill", multiplied by the number of cubic yards (to the nearest cubic
yard) provided complete in place within the neat lines of the trench. The unit
bid price shall include the cost of disposing of the unsuitable material and the
providing of the select material but shall not include the cost of trenching,
backfilling and compaction. The payment for trenching, backfilling and compac-
tion shall have been included under their appropriate bid items.
b. The backfill material when placed in the trench shall be thoroughly
compacted to a minimum of 90% of maximum density throughout as determined by the
Modified Proctor Method, with the exception that the top six (6) inches in resid-
ential streets and the top twelve(12) inches in arterial streets (of the subgrade
material) shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% maximum density (Modified Proctor)
except if the backfill or subgrade material contains 35: or more of material pass-
ing the No. 200 sieve, in which case, the compaction shall not be less than 90% of
maximum density (Modified Proctor). The moisture content of the backfill material
in place shall not exceed the optimum nor be less than the optimum minus five (5)
percent. The obtaining of the correct moisture content will be the responsibility
of the Contractor. Moisture and density requirements shall be governed by AASHO
Designation: T-180 and T-147. The Engineer will determine the classification of
the backfill required, whether for residential or arterial streets.
c. Omitted
d. The initial backfill around pipe shall consist of moistened finely
divided earth carefully and evenly placed and thoroughly rammed and tamped with
hand or pneumatic tampers to the required density range until sufficient fill
has been placed to provide at least a 12" cover over top of pipe the full width
of the trench or excavation. The remainder of the backfill material shall be
placed in lifts of such depth that the required compaction and density can be
obtained with the type of tamping or compacting equipment or method being used
by the Contractor without damage to pipe, or causing pipe displacement, but not
to exceed depths recommended by the equipment manufacturer, for various soil types,
or as determined by compaction tests of the lift in place, or as directed by the
Engineer -Inspector.
e. Density tests for the purpose of determining the degree or compac-
tion shall be made by a testing laboratory, supervised by an Arkansas Registered
Professional Engineer, who shall certify the test reports, and shall be paid for
by the Contractor. These tests shall be made in such a manner as to give the
density of the backfill material throughout the entire depth of fill. In all
cases sufficient tests shall be made at various depths which will give the degree
of compaction within the lower one-half of trench backfill and in the initial fill
around the pipe, as well as in the upper one-half of the backfill.
21-4
I
i
1 f. Such density tests shall be made as follows:
One test shall be made for each continuous 500' run of trench
backfill per each 2 feet of depth except that no test shall be required for a
run of trench backfill 50' or less measured from point of beginning. Any con-
tinuous run of trench backfill between 51' and 500' interval shall require one
test. Any run of trench backfill that falls between successive 500' increments
shall not require a test unless the run of trench backfill is more than 250'.
g. The Resident Inspector shall have the right to call for any addi-
tioanl tests he may deem necessary at shorter intervals along the trench in order
to carry out and complete more fully and perfectly the work within the intent of
1 these specifications. Any additional tests shall be at the Contractors expense.
h. The location of test sites and depths of tests shall be determined
1 by the Resident Engineer and he shall be responsible for calling and requesting
the laboratory to made tests at the location(s) selected. The contractor shall
provide any assistance necessary in taking these tests at no additional cost to
1 the Owner.
i. When test results fail to meet the density requirements as previous -
1 ly stated, additional compaction shall be required. If the tests indicate the
compaction method being used by the Contractor does not produce the required end
results, the Contractor shall at the direction of the Engineer or project inspector
1 alter the methods so as to produce the required densities in the compacted backfill.
All re -compacted trenches shall again be tested for required density as outlined
in preceding paragraphs at the Contractor's expense. All sewer appurtenant
1 structures shall be backfilled in accordance with these requirements.
j. When in the opinion of the project inspector or Engineer sandy -
1 gravelly soils, or other soils, are encountered which do not readily lend them-
selves to proper compaction with the use of mechanical equipment, the Contractor
may jet or flood the trench with water in successive lifts in a volume sufficient
Ito obtain the required density and compaction, including the use of vibratory
equipment, when necessary. No extra payment will be allowed the Contractor for
this method of compaction.
1 k. It shall be mutually agreed that proper and adequate backfilling
and compaction devoid of any future settlement regardless of the method used
1 shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, and final acceptance of the pro-
ject does not relieve the Contractor of this responsiblity. The Contractor shall
at his expense repair all damages to streets, sidewalks, curbs -gutters, paving,
1 sewer pipe, water lines and any other private or public utility line including
damage to abutting private property caused by trench or excavation settlement
within a period of thirty-six (36) calendar months after final acceptance of
1 each individual project by the Owner.
21-09. EMBANKMENTS: Where embankment is necessary to support the pipe or to
1 cover or protect it in any way, it shall be made to the width and slope shown on
the plans or designated by the Engineer. The surface or the ground receiving em-
bankment shall be carefully cleared of all unsuitable material, and furrowed with

SC -16. UNDERCUTS
If unstable or unacceptable material in encountered during the
preparation of the subgrade, the designated grade will be undercut as
directed by the Engineer and suitable material placed in the undercut area.
If suitable material does not exist on the site, then borrow or SB-2 base
material may be directed to be placed in the undercut area by the Engineer.
' SC -17. MANHOLES AND VALVE BOXES ADJUSTED TO GRADE
The Contractor shall adjust the top elevation of existing manholes
and valve boxes to coincide with the finished grade as established after
the placement of the asphalt concrete hot mix overlay.
SC -18. CONSTRUCTION STAKES
Any stakes removed, destroyed, or lost by and through fault of the
Contractor or any of his agents, employees, or subcontractors shall be
replaced by the Engineer upon request of the Contractor at the expense of
the Contractor.
SC -19. CLEANUP
All work within the construction area shall be cleaned up to the

SECTION' 12
EXCAVATION, TRENCHING, AND OACKFILLIXG FOR UTILITIES
12-01. GENERAL: The work covered by this section of the specifications
consists in trenching and backfilling for sanitary sewer, storm drain, and
water lines.
12-02. EQUIPMENT: All equipment, tools, and machines used in the per-
formance of the work covered by this section of the specifications shall be
subject to the approval of the Engineer, and shall be maintained in a
satisfactory working condition at all times.
12-03. TRENCH EXCAVATION:
a. General: The Contractor shall perform all excavation of every
description and of whatever substances encountered, to the lines and grades
indicated on the drawings or as otherwise directed by the Engineer. A1& -ex—
cavated materials not required for fill or backfill shall be removed and
wasted as indicated on the drawings or as approved. All excavations shall
be made by open cut. The banks of trenches shall be kept as nearly vertical
as practicable and where required shall be properly sheeted and braced.
Except at locations where excavation of rack from the bottoms of trenches is
required, care shall be taken not to excavate below the depths indicated on
the drawings or specified herein. Where rock excavation is required, or
where stones are encountered in the bottom of the trench that would create
a concentrated pressure on the pipe, the rock or stones shall be removed to
a depth of 6 inches minimum below the trench depths indicated on the drawings
or specified. The overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation
shall be backfilled with loose, moist earth, sand, or fine gravel, thoroughly
tamped. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of properly
supporting the pipe is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be
removed to a depth required and for the lengths designated by the Engineer,
and the trench backfilled to trench bottom grade, as hereinafter specified,
with coarse sand or fine gravel. Trench excavation shall comprise the
satisfactory removal and disposition of all materials.
b. Grading and Stocking: All grading in the vicinity of trench
excavations shall be controlled to prevent surface ground water from flowing
into the trenches. Any water accumulated in the trenches shall be removed
by pumping or by other approved method. During excavation, material suitable
for backfilling shall be stocked in an orderly manner a sufficient distance
back from edges of trenches to avoid overloading and prevent slides'or cave —
.ins. Material unsuitable for backfilling shall be wasted as approved.
c. Shoring, Bracing, and Sheeting: It shall be required that
the Contractor, where necessary to protect adjacent improvements, keep the
sides of the excavation as nearly vertical as possible by bracing, or steel
sheet piling, unless otherwise ordered by the Engineer. Failure to properly
brace and sheet trenches shall be at the risk of the Contractor and any damage
incurred by reason or failure to shore, sheet or brace shall be restored or
corrected at Contractor's expense. The contractor will not be reimbursed for
12-1
the replacement of curb and gutter, sidewalk, pavement, or other items or
improvements that are damaged or fail due to his failure to provide proper
bracing and sheeting.
Sheeting and braceing shall not be removed after the pipe is laid or struc-
tures built until sufficient backfill is in place to protect the pipe or
structure, and the adjacent street or alley surface and structures, from
damage by caving. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, it becomes necessary
or advisable to leave sheeting in place, he shall so direct the Contractor
by written order. Sheeting left in place shall be cut off at a level not
less than one root below the ground surface. Unless otherwise specified in
the bid form, payment for shoring or sheeting left in place by order of the
Engineer shall be at an agreed price which shall not be greater than the
actual material cost of new lumber, less depreciation, and the estimated
cost of removal.
d. Blasting: Blasting will be allowed with the Engineer's
permission only.
e. Trench Widths: Trench widths at the level of the top of the
pipe shall not exceed the following and shall be kept to the practical mini-
mum required for properly laying, aligning, grading, and jointing of the
pipe. Trench widths at the level of the top of pipe shall not exceed the
following:
Pipe diameter plus 24 -inches
F. Shaping Trench Bottoms: 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 or on compact sand at every
point between bell holes or depressions for joints as follows: (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.)
The bottom of the trench shall be rounded so that the bottom for a width of
60 percent of the outside diameter of the pipe shall rest firmly on undis-
turbed soil or on approximately two 2 inches of compact sand placed as a
leveling layer and a cushion between the rounded bottom of excavation and
the pipe. In case the bottom of the trench is sandy material (non -plastic),
the approximately two (2) inches of compact sand layer will not be required.
In rounding the bottom of the trench, a template shaped to match the bottom
of the pipe for the 60 percent width required shall be used to shape the
trench bottom at the required grade. This part of the excavation and shaping
shall be done manually only a few feet in advance of the pipe laying by men
skilled in this type of work. In order to provide a uniform bearing on un-
disturbed soil or compact sand as described, it will be necessary to trench
to within a few inches of the bottom of the pipe as it rests in final position
12-2
II
I
Any part of the bottom of the trench excavated below the specified grade shall
' be corrected with approved material, throughly compacted as directed by the
Engineer. Bell holes and depressions for joints shall be dug after the trench
bottom has been graded and prepared.
The Contractor shall follow procedures within these specifications and as approved
by the Engineer which will result in a uniform support for the required widths of
' pipe so that the required grade will be held and so that subsequent settlement of
pipe in place will not occur.
' g. Overexcavation: Should the, trench be excavated to a greater depth
than required, it shall be filled to proper grade with dry sand or suitable finely
divided earth and compacted to provide a solid bed for the pipe in accordance with
' the density requirements of these specifications. No extra payment will be made
for such work, and if material from the trench is not satisfactory to the Engineer
for the purpose, proper material shall be brought from other sources.
h. Tunneling and Boring: In general, crossings under sidewalks, rail-
road spur tracks, curbs and gutters, and other short obstructions shall be tunneled
' or bored. The tunnel shall not be larger than is necessary for the conduct of the
work, and the roof shall be sloped from the ends toward the center at an angle of
not less than thirty degrees in order to facilitate complete refilling from the
open trench at the ends. Backfilling shall be placed by hand and shall be through-
ly compacted to prevent subsequent settlement of the roof. Methods of tunneling
or boring, size and length bracing and backfilling shall all be subject to the
approval of the Engineer.
i. Open Trench: Unless permission is granted by the Engineer, no more
than three hundred feet of trench shall be opened up ahead of pipe laying operations.
Backfilling shall begin as soon as pipe is laid and inspected and shall keep pace
with the pipe laying.
k. House Service Connections: Where existing house lateral connections
Ito utility mains are encountered, the Contractor shall exercise due care to insure
that the laterals are not disturbed or damaged. Should any lateral connections be
broken, as a result of the work under this contract, they shall be replaced by the
Contractor to at least equal to the original installation.
1. Public Utilities: The Contractor shall be responsible for the
destruction of, or damage to, all existing structures, pipe lines, conduits, cables,
sewers, drains, or other properties encountered in or adjacent to the excavation,
and he shall use all reasonable measures and precautions to protect such properties,
' and shall maintain or replace them in as good condition as they were prior to the
construction operations. He shall make a diligent effort to locate all underground
properties in advance of excavation work, and support or protect them so that they
t will not be broken and their functions interrupted. The Contractor shall notify
all owners of public utilities that may be affected by construction demands so that
the public utilitiy owner may protect, transfer, change, rebuild, or remove any
part of his utilities as the utility owner may deem fit.. Such notification shall
be in writing and in advance of work by at least three weeks.
I
' 12-3
E
m. Relocation or Lines: The Engineer may, at his discretion, relocate
trench lines to avoid know obstacles, where such relocations are requested by the
Contractor, and will not, in the opinion of the Engineer, increase the cost to
the owner or impair the usefulness and permanence of the construction.
12-04. TRENCH BACKFILLING
I
I
I
I
a. General: Trenches shall be carefully backfilled with excavated
materials approved for backfilling, consisting of earth, loam, sandy day, sand
and fine gravel, soft shale, or other approved materials, placed at or near optimum
moisture content, free from large clods of earth or stone, carefully deposited on
both sides of the pipe in lifts as hereinafter described and thoroughly and care-
fully compacted symmetrically on each side of the pipe until enough fill has been
placed to provide a cover of not less than 12 inches above the top of the pipe
for the full width of the trench utilizing mechanical or vibratory compactors as
approved by the Engineer. Under the center of the pipe supplementary compaction
by curved hand tampers may be required by the Engineer to obtain full compaction
under the pipe.
b. Compaction Lifts for Trench Backfilling:

19. PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR
19.1 At least ten (10) days before each progress payment falls due (but not
more often than once a month), the CONTRACTOR will submit to the
• ENGINEER a partial payment estimate filled out and signed by the
CONTRACTOR covering the WORK performed during the period covered by
'
the partial payment estimated and supported by such data as the
ENGINEER may reasonably require. If payment is requested on the basis
' of materials and equipment not incorporated in the WORK but delivered
and suitably stored at or near the site, the partial payment estimate
shall also be accompanied by such supporting data, satisfactory to the
OWNER, as will establish the OWNER'S title to the material and
'
equipment and protect the OWNER'S interest therein, including
applicable insurance. The ENGINEER will, within ten (10) days after
receipt of each partial payment estimate, either indicate in writing
'
approval of payment, and present the partial payment estimate to the
OWNER, or return the partial payment estimate to the CONTRACTOR
indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to approve payment. In
the latter case, the CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections an
resubmit the partial payment estimate. The OWNER will, within ten
(10) days of presentation of an approved partial payment estimate, pay
'
the CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial
payment estimate less the retainage. The retainage shall be an amount
equal to 10% of said estimate until 50% of the work has been
completed. At 50% completion, further partial payments shall be made
in full to the CONTRACTOR and no additional amounts may be retained
' unless the ENGINEER certified that the job is not proceeding
satisfactorily, but amounts previously retained shall not be paid to
the CONTRACTOR. When the WORK has been substantially completed except
for WORK which cannot be completed because of weather conditions, lack
of materials, or other reasons which in the judgement of the OWNER are
valid reasons for noncompletion, the OWNER may make additional
payments, retaining at all time an amount sufficient to cover the
'estimated cost of the WORK still to be completed.
19.2 The request for payment may also include an allowance for the cost of
such major materials and equipment which are suitably stored either at
or near the site.
19.3 Prior to SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, the OWNER, with the approval of the
ENGINEER and with the concurrence of the CONTRACTOR, may use any
completed or substantially completed portions of the WORK. Such use
shall not constitute an acceptance of such portions of the WORK.
' 19.4 The OWNER shall have the right to enter the premises for the purpose
of doing work not covered by the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. This provision
shall not be construed as relieving the CONTRACTOR of the sole
' responsibility for the care and protection of the WORK, or the
restoration of any damaged WORK except such as may be caused by agents
or employees of the OWNER.
L-13
I
' 19.5 Upon completion and acceptance of the WORK, the ENGINEER shall issue a
certificate attached to the final payment request that the WORK has
been accepted under the conditions of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. The
entire balance found to be due the CONTRACTOR, including the retained
percentages, but except such sums as may be lawfully retained by the
OWNER, shall be paid to the CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) days of
• completion and acceptance of the WORK.
I
I
I
I
19.6 The CONTRACTOR will indemnify and save the OWNER or the OWNER'S agents
harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demand of
SUBCONTRACTORS, laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialmen, and
furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, tools, and all
supplies, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of the WORK.
The CONTRACTOR shall, at the OWNER'S request, furnish satisfactory
evidence that all obligations of the nature designated above have been
paid, discharged, or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so the
OWNER may, after having notified the CONTRACTOR, either pay unpaid
bills or withhold from the CONTRACTOR'S unpaid compensation a sum of
money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful
claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities
have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the CONTRACTOR shall
be resumed in accordance with the terms of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, but
in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to
impose any obligations upon the OWNER to either the CONTRACTOR, the
CONTRACTOR'S Surety, or any third party. In paying any unpaid bills
of the CONTRACTOR, any payment so made by the OWNER shall be
considered as a payment made under the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS by the OWNER
to the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER shall not be liable to the CONTRACTOR
for any such payments made in good faith.
If the OWNER fails to make payment thirty (30) days after approval by
the ENGINEER, in addition to other remedies available to the
CONTRACTOR, there shall be added to each such payment interest at the
maximum legal rate commencing on the first day after said payment is
due and continuing until the payment is received by the CONTRACTOR.
' 20. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT AS RELEASE
20.1 The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of final payment shall be and shall
operate as a release to the OWNER of all claims and all liability to
the CONTRACTOR other than claims in stated amounts as may be
specifically expected by the CONTRACTOR for all things done or
furnished in connection with this WORK and for every act and neglect
of the Owner and other related to arising out of this WORK. Any
payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not release the CONTRACTOR
or its sureties from any obligations under the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS or

expense during the CONTRACT TIME, liability insurance as hereinafter

expense, during the CONTRACT TIME, in accordance with the provisions
of the laws of the state in whi:•h the WORK is performed, Workmen's

disturbed, except in the event of
WRITTEN NOTICE of:
receipt of
the materials
before such conditions
emergency, notify the OWNER
1 Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing
materially from those indicated in the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS; or
2 Unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature,
differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally
recognized as inherent in WORK of the character provided for in the
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
The OWNER shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it found
that such conditions do so materially differ and cause an increase or
decrease in the cost of, or in the time required for, performance of
the WORK, an equitable adjustment shall be made and the CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS shall be modified by a CHANGE ORDER. Any claim of the
CONTRACTOR for adjustment hereunder shall not be allowed unless the
required WRITTEN NOTICE has been given; provided that the OWNER may,
if the OWNER determines the facts so justify, consider and adjust any
such claims asserted before the date of final payment.

TERMINATION,
The OWNER may suspend the WORK or any portion thereof for a period of

general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a trustee
or receiver is appointed for the CONTRACTOR or for any of its
property, or if CONTRACTOR files a petition to take advantage of any
debtor's act, or to reorganize under the bankruptcy or applicable
laws, or repeatedly fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or
suitable materials or equipment, or repeatedly fails to make prompt
payments to SUBCONTRACTOR or for labor, materials or equipment or
disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any
public body having jurisdiction of the WORK or disregards the
authority of the ENGINEER, or otherwise violates any provision of the
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, then the OWNER may, without prejudice to any other
right or remedy and after giving the CONTRACTOR and its surety a
minimum of ten (10) days from delivery of a WRITTEN NOTICE, terminate
the services of the CONTRACTOR and take possession of the PROJECT and
of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and
' machinery thereon ownAd by the CONTRACTOR, and finish the WORK by
whatever method the OWNER may deem expedient. In such case the
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until
' the WORK is finished. If the unpaid balance of the CONTRACT PRICE
exceeds the direct and indirect costs of completing the PROJECT,
including compensation for additional services, such excess SHALL BE
' PAID TO THE CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceedsuch unpaid balance, the
CONTRACTOR will pay the difference to the OWNER. Such costs incurred
by the OWNER will be determined by the ENGINEER and incorporated in a
CHANGE ORDER.
18.3 Where the CONTRACTOR'S services have been so terminated by the OWNER,
said terminations shall not affect any right of the OWNER against the
CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any
retention payment of monies by the OWNER due the CONTRACTOR will not
' release from compliance with the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
18.4 After ten (10) days from delivery of a WRITTEN NOTICE to the
CONTRACTOR and the ENGINEER, the OWNER may, without cause and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect to abandon the PROJECT
and terminate the CONTRACT. In such case the CONTRACTOR shall be paid
' for all WORK executed and any expense sustained plus reasonable
profit.
18.5 If, through no act or fault of the CONTRACTOR, the WORK is suspended
for a period of more than ninety (90) days by the OWNER or under an
order of court or other public authority, or the ENGINEER fails to act
on any request for payment within thirty (30) days after it is
submitted, or the OWNER fails to pay the CONTRACTOR substantially the
sum approved by the ENGINEER or awarded by arbitrators within thirty
(30) days of its approval and presentation, then the CONTRACTOR may,
after ten (10) days from delivery of a WRITTEN NOTICE to the OWNER and
' the ENGINEER terminate the CONTRACT and recover from the OWNER payment
for all WORK executed and all expenses sustained. In addition and in
lieu of terminating the CONTRACT, if the ENGINEER has failed to act on
' a request for payment or if the OWNER has failed to make any payment
as aforesaid, the CONTRACTOR may upon ten (10) days written notice to
the OWNER and the ENGINEER stop the WORK until paid all amounts then
due, in which event and upon resumption of the WORK CHANGE ORDERS
shall be issued for adjusting the CONTRACT PRICE or extending the
CONTRACT TIME or both to compensate for the costs and delays
'attributable to the stoppage of the WORK.
18.6 If the performance of all or any portion of the WORK is suspended,
' delayed, or interrupted as a result of a failure of the OWNER or
ENGINEER to act within a reasonable time, an adjustment in the
CONTRACT PRICE or an extension of the CONTRACT TIME, or both, shall be
' made by CHANGE ORDER to compensate the CONTRACTOR for the costs and
delays necessarily caused by the failure of the OWNER or ENGINEER.
