DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
To: Fred Hanna, Mayor

Don Bunn, City Engineer
From: Jim Beavers, Engineering `
Date: 18 January 1993 jb
Re: Proposed change -order to the construction contract with
Sweetser Construction (contract no. 387) for replacement
culverts at Sang Avenue and 54th Street.
1. Existing contract:
The construction contract to replace the existing culvert on Sang
Avenue and the existing bridge on 54th Street was approved by the
Board of Directors on 1 September 1992. Due to utility delays
(SW Bell) construction could not begin until 9 November 1992.
Construction continues with estimated completion of February 1993
for Sang Avenue and March 1993 for 54th Street.
2. Proposed change -order:
a. During the construction of the Sang Avenue box culvert it was
determined that the existing water line could be encased inplace
with a split encasement rather than relocating the line and then
encasing with standard encasement pipe. The split encasement
resulted in additional labor and material costs for the
encasement, but also allowed for time savings and a future net
reduction in the contract price.
The negotiated price to provide the split encasement is an
increase of $1050.00. The future net savings will result from
certain bid items not being required, and thus not included on
future pay estimates. Specifically, bid item 18, 60 if of new
water line ($1620.00), bid item 19, relocate valve ($600.00), bid
item 20, standard encasement ($500.00) and bid item no. 21, tie
into existing water line ($1000.00) should be deleted from the
final costs. The net effect of encasing the water line inplace
will be a savings of $2670.00 ($3720 - $1050).
b. During the excavation for the new culvert, it was determined
in the field to tie in the existing 24 inch drainage tile into
the NW corner of the culvert. The negotiated cost to add 10.5 if
of 24"RCP drainage pipe is an increase in the contract amount of
$498.75.
The total increase in contract price is $1,548.75 (does include
future savings of not relocating water line).
•
•
•
c. As noted, construction on Sang Avenue began November 9th and
we required that the culvert and street be opened to traffic by
November 25th. Due to the nature of the work, the concrete
curing times and the weather conditions, delays were
unacceptable. Please note that:
* the changes were necessary to continue the project,
* the changes were within the scope of the project,
* the delay necessary to follow the formal procedures and
reviews as outlined in "IC -2" (contracts/responsibilities)
would have effectively shut the project down resulting in
missed deadlines and the street remaining closed through
the holidays.
Based upon my responsibility as the project engineer to assure
that the street was open to traffic by November 25th, I directed
Sweetser to provide these changes. This direction was in
violation of the policy of "IC -2", however, the Public Works
Director was kept informed and we are currently working to revise
"IC -2" to allow greater authority for project managers. Every
construction project has unknowns and there will be times when
the project engineer must make field decisions to allow the work
to progress. On certain jobs the delays to follow the current
policy for minor changes will result in increased project costs
(contractor standby and impact charges) and missed deadlines.
3. Project budget:
The approved contract budget is $151,382.00 (1 September 1992).
Obligations to date are:
Engineering $18,100.00
ROW 3,177.78
Advertising 136.80
Construction 122.238.50
Total $143,653.08
Funds are available for the change -order.
4. Action requested:
Mayor's execution of the proposed contract amendment.
Five original change -order documents have been signed by the
engineer (Hawkins), the contractor (Sweetser) and are enclosed
for the Mayor's signature. The City clerk should retain one and
return the other four to Engineering.
Enc:
1. Copy of letter from Hawkins -Weir dated January 15, 1993.
2. Five originals of the proposed change -order for signature.

Re: Sang Street Box Culvert
H -W Job No. WA -91-01
Dear Jim:
Please find enclosed Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $1,548.75 on the
referenced project. The justification for this change order is explained thereon. Although
this appears to be a contract increase, the net result of the water system relocation changes
will amount to a deduction in the contract amount since we were able to leave the existing
water line in place and work around it.
Please sign all copies and return one signed copy to me and one to the contractor. If
you have any questions, please advise.
Very truly yours,
HA / ENGINEERS, INC.

dling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit

comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract
Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifica-
tions of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR will
be made by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.10.
11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an
amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be adequate to
cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each sepa-
rately identified item.

for an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with
Article 11 if:

rated in the Agreement; and

respect to any other item of Work; and
11.9.3.3. if CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRAC-
TOR is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result

ARTICLE 12 —CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES
12.1. The Contract Times (or Milestones) may only be
changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment. Any
claim for an adjustment of the Contract Times (or Milestones)

in no event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the
event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of
the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting
data shall be delivered within sixty days after such occurrence
(unless ENGINEER allows an additional period of time to
ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall
be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the
adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the
claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the
occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the
Contract Times (or Milestones) shall be determined by ENGI-
NEER in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if OWNER and
CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree. No claim for an
adjustment in the Contract Times (or Milestones) will be valid
if not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this
paragraph 12.1.

of the essence of the Agreement.
12.3. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from complet-
ing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or

amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a claim is
made therefor as provided in paragraph 12.1. Delays beyond
the control of CONTRACTOR shall include, but not be limited
to, acts or neglect by OWNER, acts or neglect of utility owners
or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by

delays within the control of CONTRACTOR.

ing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or
Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both OWNER
and CONTRACTOR, an extension of the Contract Times (or
Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such
delay shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy for
such delay. In no event shall OWNER be liable to CONTRAC-
TOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person or
organization, or to any surety for or employee or agent of any
of them, for damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays

tion equipment and machinery at the site and incorporate in the

elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER's
representatives, agents and employees, OWNER's other con-
tractors and ENGINEER and ENGINEER's Consultants ac-
cess to the site to enable OWNER to exercise the rights and
remedies under this paragraph. All claims, costs, losses and

revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work;

amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as
provided in Article 11. Such claims, costs, losses and damages

CONTRACTOR, when CONTRACTOR corrects to OWN -
ER's satisfaction the reasons for such action.
Subsmntial Completion:
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work
ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER
and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially
complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRAC-
TOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a
certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time
thereafter, OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall
make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of
completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work sub-
stantially complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR
in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers
the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will prepare and
deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Com-
pletion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion.
There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items
to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER
shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate
during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to
any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after
considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the
Work is not substantially complete. ENGINEER will within
fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to
OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons
therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, EN-
GINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGI-
NEER will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to
OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Sub-
stantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be
completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the
tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after
consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of
delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion
ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a
written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pend-
ing final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utili-
ties, insurance and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER
and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform
ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issuing the
definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER's
aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and
CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRAC-
TOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Completion,
but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to
complete or correct items on the tentative list.
14.10. Use by OWNER at OWNER's option of any sub-
stantially completed part of the Work which: (i) has specifically
been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) OWNER,
ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a sepa-
rately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used
by OWNER for its intended purpose without significant inter-
ference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder
of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial Com-
pletion of all the Work subject to the following:
14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CON-
TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such
part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for
its intended use and substantially complete. If CON-
TRACTOR agrees that such part of the Work is substan-
tially complete, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER
and ENGINEER that such part of the Work is substan-
tially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certif-
icate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and
ENGINEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers
any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and
substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a
certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the
Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request,
OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make
an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its
status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider
that part of the Work to be substantially complete. ENGI-
NEER will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writ-
ing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers
that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the
provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with
respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that
part of the Work and the division of responsibility in
respect thereof and access thereto.
14.10.2. No occupancy or separate operation of part
of the Work will be accomplished prior to compliance with
the requirements of paragraph 5.15 in respect of property
insurance.
Final Inspection:
14.11. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the
entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, ENGI-
NEER will make a final inspection with OWNER and CON-
TRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all
' 39
particulars in which this inspection reveals That the Work n
incomplete or defective. CO'srTRACTOR shall immediately
take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or
remedy such deficiencies.

rections to the satisfaction of ENGINEER and delivered in
accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance and
operating instructions. schedules. guarantees. Bonds, certifi-
cates or otherevidence of insurance required by paragraph 5.4,

Contract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGINEER will,
within ten days after receipt of the final Application for

ted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of
CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR from the site and
take possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTOR's
tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at
the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used
by CONTRACTOR (without liability to CONTRACTOR for
trespass or conversion), incorporate in the Work all materi-
als and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER

balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs,
losses and damages sustained by OWNER arising out of or
resulting from completing the Work such excess will be paid
to CONTRACTOR. If such claims, costs, losses and dam-
ages exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay

tive date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums
for overhead and profit on such Work;
15.4.2. for expenses sustained prior to the effective date
of termination in performing services and furnishing labor,
materials or equipment as required by the Contract Docu-
ments in connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and
reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such expenses;
15.4.3. for all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred
in settlement of terminated contracts with Subcontractors,

termination.
CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of loss of
anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss arising
out of or resulting from such termination.
CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate:
15.5. If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the
Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety days by
OWNER or under an order of court or other public author-
ity, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for
Payment within thirty days after it is submitted or OWNER
fails for thirty days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally
determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR may, upon
seven days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER,
and provided OWNER or ENGINEER do not remedy such
suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agree-
ment and recover from OWNER payment on the same terms
as provided in paragraph 15.4. In lieu of terminating the
Agreement and without prejudice to any other right or
remedy, if ENGINEER has failed to act on an Application
for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted, or
OWNER has failed for thirty days to pay CONTRACTOR
any sum finally determined to be due, CONTRACTOR may
upon seven day's written notice to OWNER and ENGI-
NEER stop the Work until payment of all such amounts due
CONTRACTOR, including interest thereon. The provisions
of this paragraph 15.5 are not intended to preclude CON-
TRACTOR from making claim under Articles II and 12 for
an increase in Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise
for expenses or damage directly attributable to CONTRAC-
TOR's stopping Work as permitted by this paragraph.

agreed on the method and procedure for resolving disputes
between them that may arise under this Agreement, such
dispute resolution method and procedure, if any, shall be as set

attached hereto and made a part hereof. If no such agreement
on the method and procedure for resolving such disputes has
been reached, and subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9.10,

OWNER and CONTRACTOR hereby agree that Article 16
of the General Conditions to the Agreement between OWNER
and CONTRACTOR is amended to include the following
agreement of the parties:
16.1. All claims, disputes and other matters in question
between OWNER and CONTRACTOR arising out of or relat-
ing to the Contract Documents or the breach thereof (except
for claims which have been waived by the making or accep-
tance of final payment as provided by paragraph 14.15) will be
decided by arbitration in accordance with the Construction
Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Asso-
ciation then obtaining, subject to the limitations of this Article
16. This agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or
consent to arbitrate entered into in accordance herewith as
provided in this Article 16 will be specifically enforceable under
the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction.
16.2. No demand for arbitration of any claim, dispute or
other matter that is required to be referred to ENGINEER
initially for decision in accordance with paragraph 9.11 will be
made until the earlier of (a) the date on which ENGINEER has
rendered a written decision or (b) the thirty-first day after the
parties have presented their evidence to ENGINEER if a
written decision has not been rendered by ENGINEER before
that date. No demand for arbitration of any such claim, dispute
or other matter will be made later than thirty days after the date
on which ENGINEER has rendered a written decision in
respect thereof in accordance with paragraph 9.11; and the
failure to demand arbitration within said thirty days' period will
result in ENGINEER's decision being final and binding upon
OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If ENGINEER renders a de-
cision after arbitration proceedings have been initiated, such
decision may be entered as evidence but will not supersede the
arbitration proceedings, except where the decision is accept-
able to the parties concerned. No demand for arbitration of any
written decision of ENGINEER rendered in accordance with
paragraph 9.10 will be made later than ten days after the party
making such demand has delivered written notice of intention
to appeal as provided in paragraph 9.10.
16.3.
Notice
of the
demand
for arbitration will be filed in
writing
with the
other
party to
the Agreement and with the
American Arbitration Association, and a copy will be sent to
ENGINEER for information. The demand for arbitration will
be made within the thirty -day or ten- day period specified in
paragraph 16.2 as applicable, and in all other cases within a
reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in
question has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be
made after the date when institution of legal or equitable
proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in
question would be barred by the applicable statute of limita-
tions.
16.4. Except as provided in paragraph 16.5 below, no
arbitration arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents
shall include by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner
any other person or entity (including ENGINEER, ENGI-
NEER's Consultant and the officers, directors, agents, em-
ployees or consultants of any of them) who is not a party to this
contract unless:
16.4.1. the inclusion of such other person or entity is
necessary if complete relief is to be afforded among those
who are already parties to the arbitration, and
16.4.2. such other person or entity is substantially in-
volved in a question of law or fact which is common to those
who are already parties to the arbitration and which will arise
in such proceedings, and
16.4.3. the written consent of the other person or entity
sought to be included and of OWNER and CONTRACTOR
has been obtained for such inclusion, which consent shall
make specific reference to this paragraph; but no such
consent shall constitute consent to arbitration of any dispute
not specifically described in such consent or to arbitration
with any party not specifically identified in such consent.
16.5. Notwithstanding paragraph 16.4 if a claim, dispute or
other matter in question between OWNER and CONTRAC-
TOR involves the Work of a Subcontractor, either OWNER or
CONTRACTOR may join such Subcontractor as a party to the
arbitration between OWNER and CONTRACTOR hereunder.
CONTRACTOR shall include in all subcontracts required by
paragraph 6.11 a specific provision whereby the Subcontractor
consents to being joined in an arbitration between OWNER
and CONTRACTOR involving the Work of such Subcontrac-
tor. Nothing in this paragraph 16.5 nor in the provision of such
subcontract consenting to joinder shall create any claim, right
or cause of action in favor of Subcontractor and against
OWNER, ENGINEER or ENGINEER's Consultants that
does not otherwise exist.
16.6. The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final,
judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdic-
tion thereof, and it will not be subject to modification or appeal.

sociation under the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of

Article 2.2 of the General Conditions shall be amended to read OWNER shall
furnish to CONTRACTOR up to two copies of the Contract Documents as are
reasonably necessary for the execution of the Work. Additional copies will be
furnished, upon request, at the cost of reproduction.
Upon receipt of a partial payment request in accordance with Article 14.2
of the General Conditions the ENGINEER will, within ten (10) days of receipt,
either indicate in writing approval of payment and present said estimate to the
OWNER or return the partial payment request to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing
the reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, the CONTRACTOR
may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the payment request. The OWNER
will, within 30 days of presentation of an approved partial payment request, pay
the CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial payment
request less retainage. The retainage shall be 10% of said estimate until 50%
of the work has been fully complete. At 50% completion, further partial payments
shall be made to the CONTRACTOR in full with no additional retainage unless the
ENGINEER certifies that the job is not progressing satisfactorily, but amounts
previously retained shall not be paid to the CONTRACTOR. At 50% completion or
anytime thereafter where the progress is not satisfactory, additional amounts
may be retained but in no event shall the retainage be more than 10% of the work
completed. When work is substantially completed, any amount retained may be paid
to the CONTRACTOR except that the OWNER shall retain an amount sufficient to
cover any work yet to be completed.

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.
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.

320.01 DESCRIPTION:
This item shall consist of a single application of bituminous material,
' applied on the completed and approved base course, on the subgrade, or on the
existing pavement or bituminous surfacing as indicated on the plans, all in
accordance with these specifications.
' 320.02 MATERIALS:
All materials shall conform with current Arkansas Highway Department
' specifications for medium and rapid curing cut back asphalts and for emulsified
asphalt. In general, a medium curing cut back asphalt will be used for prime
coat and a rapid curing cut back or emulsified asphalt will be used for tack
' coat. The Engineer will select the particular grade of the type of bituminous
material designated that will be used.
320.03 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS:
The methods employed in performing the work, and all equipment, tools and
machinery used in handling materials and executing any part of the work shall
be subject to the approval of the Engineer before the work is started, and
whenever found unsatisfactory, shall be changed and improved as required by the
Engineer. All equipment, tools and machinery used must be maintained in a
satisfactory working condition.
A. SWEEPING AND CLEANING:
Immediately preceding the prime or tack coat application, the
surface to be treated shall be swept free of dust, dirt and loose
or foreign material, cleaning but not loosening or dislodging the
top embedded aggregate. Layers or pockets of dirt or other
materials which do not form an integral part of the surface to be
treated shall be removed. Such sweeping operations shall be
performed by mechanical methods.
If deemed necessary by the Engineer, the surface shall be
sprinkled with water and given an additional sweeping with hand
brooms, it being the intent of these specifications that the surface
to be treated be as free as practicable of dirt, or pockets or other
loose materials. The sweeping and cleaning operations shall be
carried only far enough in advance of the application of bituminous
material to insure the surface being properly prepared at the time
of application. When the existing surface is an old concrete
pavement, all joint and crack filler shall be removed from the
surface as directed by the Engineer.
Be APPLICATION OF PRIME COAT:
After the surface to be treated has been prepared in accordance
with the specifications outlined above, the bituminous material for
the prime coat shall be sprayed uniformly ovir the surface by means
Hoeg J08•'NO. WA -91-01 1
r..•=T •. — — .FJ.V �IYYIe 11MV+��IY �,-
of an approved mechanical pressure distributor at the rate of
application indicated on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
Following the application of the prime coat the road will be
closed to traffic, if practicable, for a period of time sufficient
to allow the proper curing of the bituminous material. No material
for a succeeding course shall be placed on a primed base course
until the prime coat has cured sufficiently to prevent damage by
hauling operations. When shown on the plans or directed by the
Engineer, the prime coat shall be applied in half widths in order
to allow free passage of public traffic at all times.
Prime coat shall not be applied when the air temperature is
below 50 degrees F nor shall it be applied to a surface having
excess moisture, nor when general weather conditions, in the opinion
of the Engineer, are not suitable. Special precautions shall be
observed to insure a uniform distribution of the bituminous
material. The distributor shall be so adjusted and operated at all
times as to distribute evenly the class of material being applied.
Deposits of bituminous material upon the road surface in excess of
the quantity specified, caused by stopping or starting the
distributor, by overflow, leakage or otherwise, will nct be
permitted.
The distributor shall be required to maintain an operating
pressure of not less than thirty (30) nor more than seventy (70)
pounds per square inch.
The Contractor shall provide all necessary facilities for
determining the temperature cf the bituminous material in all the
heating equipment and in the distributor, for determining the rate
of application, and for securing uniformity of distribution at the
junction of two distributor loads.
If the primed surface shall become damaged from any cause
whatsoever prior to the application of the wearing course, such
areas shall be cleaned thoroughly and retreated at the expense of
the Contractor.
The surfaces of the structures shall be protected by some
satisfactory method to prevent their being disfigured by the
application of bituminous material used in the prime coat
application. This shall include culverts, bridges, hand rail, guard
fence, curbing and similar items.
C.
APPLICATION OF TACK COAT:
When a bituminous surface course is to be laid on an old
concrete or asphalt surface, a tack coat shall be applied prior to
placing the wearing surface. The tack coat shall be applied by
means of a pressure distributor in the same manner as outlined above
for the application of the prime coat. When emulsified asphalt is
used, it shall be diluted with water in order to insure complete
coverage and adhesion to the pavement surface. The rate of
E -M JOB NO. WA -91-01 2 PRIME AND TACK COAT '
application shall be from 0.03 gallons per square yard to 0.10
gallons per square yard as designated by the Engineer. The tack
coat shall be applied sufficiently in advance of the wearing surface
to allow the proper curing of the bituminous material but shall not
be applied so far in advance as to lose its adhesiveness as a result
of being covered with dust or foreign material. If the tack coat
becomes damaged or covered with foreign material prior to placing
the wearing surface, such areas shall ire cleaned as necessary and
retreated at the expense of the Contractor.
Bituminous material actually placed at the direction of the Engineer will
be measured by the gallon and the number of gallons will be determined by outage
measurements of the distributor as delivered on the road, based on a volume
constant of 60 degrees F for cut back asphalt and 70 degrees F for emulsified
asphalt. Deduction shall be made for the number of allons not actually used
in the performance of the work. Any quantity of water added to dilute emulsified
asphalt will not be included in the pay quantity.
Work completed and accepted under this section will be paid for by the
gallon and will be compensated for at the contract unit price. Payment will be
full compensation for all labor, equipment and material used under this section.
Payment will be made under:

401.11 EMBEDDED ITEMS:
Before placing concrete, any items that are to be embedded shall be firmly
and securely fastened in place as indicated. All such items shall be clean and
free from coatings, rust, scale, oil, or any foreign matter. The embedding of
wood shall be avoided. During concreting operations, the concrete shall be
spaded and consolidated around and against embedded items.
401.12 PLACING CONCRETE:
Before any concrete is placed, the reinforcing steel, forms, and subgrade
shall be thoroughly cleaned of hardened concrete, rust, chips, sawdust, mud,
dried porous earth or other foreign materials. The subgrade, forms and
reinforcing steel shall all be free of ice or frost and free water. Concrete
shall not be placed until the approval of the subgrade, forms, reinforcing steel
and other related conditions has been given by the Engineer. The Contractor
shall furnish the Engineer with a minimum notice cf 24 hours of his intention
to place concrete.
Before depositing concrete on or against concrete which has taken its
initial set, the surface of the hardened concrete shall be completely cleaned
of all foreign matter and latency, the inferior surface concrete removed and
the remaining surface of the hardened concrete roughened. The forms and
reinforcement shall also be completely cleaned of all mortar and loose material.
A layer of grout of the same cement -sand ratio as the concrete, but without
coarse aggregate, shall then be placed to a thickness of approximately one-half
(1/2) inch on the cleaned surface after which the new concrete shall be
immediately placed.
In placing concrete, care shall be taken that the freshly placed mans i■
so placed and vibrated that there is no tendency for the coarse aggregate to
segregate from the mortar, that no rock pockets are left, that the concrete
flows readily around the steel and embedded items and into the extremities of
the forms.
The concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practicable in its final
position to avoid segregation due to rehandling Cr flowing. The free fall of
the concrete shall be held to a minimum and no fall greater than ten (IC) feet
will be permitted without the approval of the Engineer.
No concrete will be deposited without vibration. Vibrating shall not be
continued in any one spot to the extent that pools of grout are formed.
Mechanical vibrators shall have a minimum frequency of 1OOC revolutions per
minute and shall be operated by competent workmen. Over -vibrating and the use
of vibrators to transport concrete within the forms shall not be allowed.
Vibrators shall be inserted and withdrawn at many points, from 18 to 30 inches
apart. At each insertion, the duration shall be sufficient to consolidate the
concrete, but not sufficient to cause segregation, generally from 5 to 15 seconds
duration. A spare vibrator shall be kept on the job site during all concrete
placing operations.
In addition to vibrating, the concrete shall be hand rodded around embedded
items, projections of reinforcement and in the corners of forms.

The placement of the concrete shall be carried on at a rate such that the
formation of cold joints will not be permitted. If a section cannot be placed
continuously, construction joints shall be positioned at approved locations.
401.13 JOINTS:
Joints shall be at the locations and of the type shown on the plans unless
otherwise approved by the Engineer. Joints not shown on the drawings shall be
made and located so as to least impair the strength of the structure and shall
be approved by the Engineer.
When the placing of concrete is suspended, necessary provisions shall be
made for joining the future work before the placed concrete takes its initial
set. Longitudinal keys not less than 1 1/2 inches deep shall be provided in
all joints in walls and betweenwalls and slabs or footings. All reinforcing
steel shall be continued across joints. Dowels shall be provided at joints as
directed by the Engineer.
Expansion and construction joints in slabs shall be constructed so as to
allow the normal finishing operations to be executed and completed over the
joint. After the final finish, but before the concrete has taken its initial
set, the edges of the slab and on each side of expansion and construction joints
shall be worked with an approved tool and rounded to a 1/4 inch radius. A well-
defined and continuous radius shall be produced and a smooth, dense mortar finish
obtained.
The surface of the slab shall not be unduly disturbed by tilting the tool
during use. Tool marks shall be eliminated by brooming and refinishing the
surface. The rounding of the corner of the slab shall not be disturbed in the
refinishing operation.
All concrete shall be completely removed from the top of the joint filler
at expansion joints.
401.14 REMOVAL OF FORMS:
Removal of forms shall be done in a manner which will assure complete
safety of the structure and concrete. Except for portions of structures
supported on shores, the removal of wall forms, slab edge forms, beam forms and
similar vertical forms may be commenced after 24 hours provided the concrete is
sufficiently hard and will not be injured. In no case shall the supporting forms
and shoring be removed from beneath beams or slabs until the representative
concrete cylinder tests indicate that the concrete has attained a compressive
strength of 2500 psi or better and not sooner than 7 days after the concrete is
placed, except by permission of the Engineer.
401.15 CURING CONCRETE:
Concrete shall be maintained above 50 degrees F. and in a moist condition
for at least the first 7 days after placing, except that high -early -strength
concrete shall be so maintained for at least the first 3 days.
When mood or steel forms are used and left in place during curing, they
shall be kept wet at all times. If the forms are removed before the and of the
H -W JOB NO.
r
7 -day curing period, the concrete shall then be sprayed with a curing compound
as specified for exposed surfaces.
Exposed surfaces of concrete shall be cured using the approved curing
compound except where special finishes require the use of other curing materials.
Curing compounds shall be applied with approved spraying equipment and shall be
applied at the coverage rate recommended by the manufacturer. The second coat
shall be applied in a direction approximately at right angles to the direction
of application cf the first coat. The compound shall form & uniform, continuous,
coherent film that will not check, crack, or peel and shall be free from pinholes
or other imperfections. Concrete surfaces which are subjected to rainfall within
3 hours after the curing compound has been applied, shall be re -sprayed.
401.16 HOT WEATHER CONCRETING: '
This section shall apply to all concrete work done when the air temperature
is 80 degrees F. or forecasted to rise above this temperature within 24 hour■
after placement of the concrete.
The temperature of concrete when placed in the forms shall not exceed 90
degrees F.
Mixing water shall be kept cool and storage tanks and supply lines shall
be shaded or adequately insulated. Aggregate stockpiles shall be saturated and
the surfaces kept moist by intermittent sprinkling.
The amount of mixing and agitating should be held to the minimum
practicable. It is recommended that the number of revolutions of the mixer or
agitator truck not exceed 125.
When approved in writing by the Engineer, a water reducing and retarding
admixture or a high -range water reducer (super -plasticizer) may be used.
The length cf time that the concrete can be held in the truck shall conform 1
to the following:
a. Air temperature over 90 degrees F. with a retarder added to the mix,
90 minutes maximum.
b. Air temperature over 80 degrees F. without a retarder added to the
mix, 6C minutes maximum.
When it is windy, water may be evaporated from the surface rapidly, thus
tending to produce plastic shrinkage cracks and cold joints. A fog spray of
water shall be used to cool the air before and after finishing operations.
401.17 COLD WEATHER CONCRETING:
This section shall apply to al. concrete work done when the air temperature
Is 40 degrees F. or forecasted to drop below this temperature within 24 hours
after placement of the concrete.
Plans to protect fresh concrete from freezing and to maintain temperature■
above the designated minimums for the required time after placing, shall be made
H -W JOB NO. WA -91-01 10 CONCRETE
in advance of expected low temperatures and reported to the Engineer. The work
shall be done entirely at the Contractor's risk.
Before placing concrete during cold weather the forms and reinforcing
shall be free of snow, frost and ice. All surfaces which are to be in contact
with the newly -placed concrete shall be at a minimum temperature of 35 degrees
F. to prevent early freezing of the concrete or seriously prolonging its
hardening.
The minimum concrete temperature during placement shall be 55 degrees F.
This minimum concrete temperature prior to placement, may be attained by heating
the mixing water, by heating the aggregates, or by a combination of these two
items. Mixing water shall be heated to a maximum temperature of 150 degrees F.
Most of hydration shall be retained in the concrete by the use of insulated
forms and insulating blankets. The concrete shall be maintained at a temperature
of not less than 55 degrees F. for a minimum period of 3 days. All concrete
damaged by frost action shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor's
expense.
Water reducing accelerators, conforming to ASTM C 494, "Chemical Admixture
for Concrete", Type E, may be used with the written permission of the Engineer.
401.18 FINISHING:
All surfaces which are to be exposed to view after the completion of all
work shall be free from conspicuous lines or other irregularities caused by
defects in the forms. These surfaces shall be finished in the following manner.
Immediately after the forms are removed, all depressions and voids shall be
patched and all fins and other imperfections removed. Metal form ties shall be
cut off 3/4 inch deep in the concrete and grouted. The area to be patched and
an area at least 6 inches wide surrounding it shall be dampened to prevent
absorption of water from the patching mortar.
The bonding grout shall be prepared using a mix of approximately 1 part
cement to 1 part fine sand passing a No. 30 mash sieve. It shall be mixed to
the consistency of thick cream and shall then be well brushed into the surface.
The patching mixture shall be made of the same material and of approximately the
same proportions as used for the concrete, except that the coarse aggregate shall
be omitted and the mortar shall consist of not more than 1 part cement to 2 1/2
parts sand by damp loose volume. The quantity of mixing water shall be no more
than necessary for handling and placing. The patching mortar shall be mixed in
advance and allowed to stand with frequent manipulation with a trowel, without
addition of water, until it has reached the stiffest consistency that will permit
placing.
After the surface water has evaporated from the area to be patched, the
bond coat shall be well brushed into the surface. When the bond coat begins to
lose the water sheen, the premixed patching mortar shall be applied. The mortar
shall be thoroughly consolidated into place and struck off so as to leave the
patch slightly higher than the surrounding surface. To permit initial shrinkage,
it shall be left undisturbed for at least one (1) hour before being finally
finished. The patched area shall be kept damp for 7 days. Metal tools shall
not be used in finishing a patch in a formed wall which will be exposed.
F
The finished surfaces of concrete shall be as follows, depending upon
their location.
A. WALLS EXPOSED TO VIEW:
Following the patching procedures outlined, the surface of
the concrete shall receive a grout cleaned finish. After the
concrete is predampened, a mixture consisting of I part cement and
1 1/2 parts sand passing the No. 16 sieve shall be mixed with "Tite-
Crete" to form a slurry, and shall be spread over the surface with
clean burlap pads or rubber floats. Any surplus shall be removed
by scraping and then rubbing with clean burlap.
B. WALLS NOT EXPOSES TO V:EW:
The surface of the concrete shall be patched as previously
specified. Fine exceeding 1/4 inch in height shall be rubbed down
with wooden blacks. The surface shall otherwise be left with the
texture imparted by the forms if they are reasonably true to line
and plane.
C. UNFORY.ED SURFACES:
Tope of walls and similar unformed surfaces occurring adjacent
to formed surfaces shall be struck smooth after concrete is placed
and shall be floated to a texture reasonably consistent with that
of the formed surfaces. Final treatment on formed surfaces shall
continue uniformly across the unformed surfaces.
D. INTERIOR FLATWORK:
All exposed concrete surfaces shall be true, smooth, free from
open or rough spaces, depressions or projections. The finished
surface shall be checked for trueness of surface which shall be
level within 1/4 inch in 10 feet. Irregularities shall be
corrected.
After the concrete has been placed, struck off, consolidated
and leveled, the concrete shall not be worked further until ready
far floating. Floating shall begin when the water sheen has
disappeared and/or the mix has stiffened sufficiently to permit the
proper operation of a power -driven float. The surface shall then
be consolidated with power -driven floats. Hand floating with wood
or cork -faced floats shall be used in locations inaccessible to the
power -driven machine.
After the moisture has disappeared, steel trowel the surface
to a smooth, even, impervious finish, free from trowel marks. After
the surface has set sufficiently to ring the trowel, it shall be
given a second troweling to a burnished finish.
The use of a cement
paste or
dry cement and
sand as a topping
or to absorb moisture is
strictly
prohibited.

unless otherwise specified in other sections of these
specifications.
Special finishes to be used on a given type of work shall be
specified in the section of the specifications concerning that work.
Finishes specified elsewhere in these specifications shall take
preference over the finishes described above.
401.19 DEFECTIVE WORK:
Any defective work disclosed after the forms have been removed or slabs
straightedged, shall be immediately removed and replaced. If any dimensions
are deficient, or if the surface of the concrete is bulged, uneven, or shows
honeycomb, which in the opinion of the Engineer cannot be repaired
satisfactorily, the entire section shall be removed and replaced at the expense
of the Contractor.
401.20 SEALING JOINTS:
All joints in concrete slabs shall be thoroughly cleaned after the curing
period. The cleaning shall remove all foreign material, joint sawing residua,
dirt and other deleterious matter. The joint shall then be sealed with the
specified joint sealing compound, applied by pressure if necessary.
Joints shall be slightly underfilled to prevent extrusion of the sealer.
The sealer shall be brought to within 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch from the top of the
slab surface.
The cleaning and filling shall be carefully done with proper equipment in
a manner to obtain a neat appearing joint free from excess joint filler.
Separate payment for concrete and concrete work will not be made under
this section of the specifications. If payment is to be made separately for
concrete and concrete work, it shall be as stated in the section of these
specifications where the item is called for. Unless otherwise stated in other
sections and in the Proposal, the concrete and concrete work including all labor,

601.05 CONSTRUCTION METHODS:
A. TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL:
(1) Genera:: The trench shall be excavated so that the pipe can
be laid to the required lines and grades established by the
Engineer. No deviation shall be made from the required line
cr grade except with the written consent of the Engineer.
The trench shall be graded to the approximate depth
shown on the plane and shall maintain a depth that will
provide not less than 30" of cover from the top of the pipe
to the finished surface of the ground. The pipe shall be laid
to a grade such that the entire line will have a minimum
number of high and low pcints. At utility or street crossings
requiring greater line depth, the approach to the crossing
shall be on a gradual and uniform grade.
Whenever obstructions not shown on the plans are
encountered during the progress of the work and interfere to
such an extent that an alteration in the plans is required,
the Engineer shall have the authority to change the plane and
order a deviation from the line and grade or arrange with the
owners of the structures for the removal, relocation cr
reconstruction of the obstructions.
Temporary support, adequate protection and maintenance
of all underground and surface utility structures, drains,
conduits, sewers and other structures encountered in the
progress of the work shall be furnished by the Contractor
without special compensation. Where the grade or alignment
of the pipe is obstructed by existing structures, the
obstruction shall be permanently supported, relocated, removed
or reconstructed by the Contractor in cooperation with the
owner■ of such utility structures. Whenever necessary to
determine the location of existing underground utility
structures, the Contractor, after an examination of available
records, shall make all explorations and excavations necessary
to determine the exact location of the underground utility to
enable him to provide adequate protection.
H -W JOB NO. WA -41-01 4 WATER LINE IMPROVEMENTS I I
The Contractor shall proceed with caution in the
excavation and preparation of the trench so that the exact
location of underground structures and utilities, both known
and unknown, may be determined and he shall be held
responsible for the repair of structures when broken or
otherwise damaged because of carelessness on his part.
The excavation of trenches shall not advance more than
150 feet ahead of the completed pipe work and completed
backfill without permission from the Engineer. Except with
written authorization of the Engineer, all excavation for
water mains shall be in open cut rather than tunneled or
bored. Cutting and replacement of pavements shall be as
specified in other sections of these specifications.
(2) Excavation: The Contractor shall accurately excavate all the
material encountered within the lines and grades shown on the
plans and as specified and established by the Engineer. The
trench width at the ground surface may vary with the depth of
the trench, but the minimum clear width of the trench at any
point shall be not less than 18" or the outside diameter of
the pipe plus 12", whichever is greater. The maximum clear
width of the trench at the top of the pipe shall be not more
than the outside diameter of the pipe barrel plus 24". In all
cases, the trench width must be within these limits of width
and have vertical sides below a point 12" above the outside
top of the pipe. If the state of the material encountered
does not permit these conditions, the Contractor shall take
corrective measures and the trench shall be braced with
shoring and/or sheeting.
Material suitable for backfilling shall be piled in an
orderly manner a sufficient distance from the banks of the
trench to avoid overloading and to prevent slides or cave-ins.
All excavated materials not required or unsuitable for
backfill shall be removed and wasted as indicated or as
directed by the Engineer.
Where necessary to protect the labor, the work or
adjacent property, the Contractor shall provide and install
shoring. The material used shall be of suitable dimensions
and strength to prevent the settlement or movement of the
ground adjacent to the trench and to prevent damage to all
surface or subsurface structures. The adequacy and need of
the sheeting, shoring and bracing shall be the complete
responsibility of the Contractor. The shoring shall remain
in place until the backfill has proceeded to a point where it
can safely be removed, except that, if in the opinion of the
Engineer, damage is likely to result from withdrawing shoring,
it shall remain in place. The compensation for sheeting,
shoring and bracing shall be included in the unit price for
pipe. No separate payment will be made.
