PARTIAL PAYMENT ESTIMATE
FOR WATER LINE CONSTRUCTION
A. GENERAL
Section 408
Partial Payment for W/L
The Engineer will prepare partial payment estimates on a monthly basis. The estimate
will include all work done through the second Friday of each month. Payment for
material on -hand will be made for materials stored and invoices furnished to the Engineer
prior to the second Friday.
The procedures to be used by the Engineer in determining the amount due each month
will generally be as set out below.
1. Pipeline Bid Items. The amount to be paid under pipeline bid items will be
determined by converting the footage of pipe laid into an equivalent value of
length of pipe for purposes of payment. This value will be the sum of percentage
increments of completion of the pipeline construction. These percentage
increments are:
a. for all pipe laid in the trench, properly backfilled and compacted, 90 percent
of the bid price;
b. for all sections of the pipeline where topsoil has been replaced and cleanup
is essentially completed without interruption from the beginning point of
pipeline construction (final fence repair is excepted), an additional 4 percent
of the bid price;
c. for all sections of the pipeline that have passed specified pressure and
leakage tests, an additional 2 percent of the bid price;
d. for all sections of the pipeline that have been successfully sterilized as
specified, an additional 2 percent of the bid price; and
e. for all sections of the pipeline where final fence repair, final cleanup,
seeding and mulching are completed, an additional 2 percent of the bid
price.
An example of this procedure for the determination of equivalent value is as
follows.
EXAMPLE
Assume that the Contractor, during the first month of the contract, lays
4,000 linear feet of pipe under Bid Item No. 1 for which he has bid $80 per foot,
complete in place. Of the 4,000 feet in place, assume that
ADDENDUM NO. 1 408-1
Section 408 1
Partial Payment far WiL
1
• 1,500 feet is considered to comply with paragraph a above,
• an additional 1,500 feet complies with paragraphs a and b, and '
• the remaining 500 feet complies with paragraphs a, b and c.
How much can the Contractor expect to collect an this item of work? Art '
equivalent length of completed pipe would be calculated as follows by the
Engineer:
1,500 L.F. @ $80 x 90% $108,000 1
1,500 L.F. 8 $80 x 94% 112,800
500 L.F. Q $80 x 96% 38.400
Total Estimated Value of Completed Work $259,200
As shown above, the estimated value of completed work is $256,000. If this figure 1
is divided by the bid price of $80 per linear foot, then the footage of pipe that will
be shown on the estimate will be: '
$259,200
$80 = 3,240 linear feet of pipeline.
2. All Bid Items Except Pipeline. The amount paid under these items will be based
on the estimated value of the completed work at the time of the estimate.
1
3. Estimate of Units. The estimate of units complete under each ilem will be
determined as set out above. In addition, the retainage in effect at the time the
estimate is prepared will be withheld
4. Payment. Payment will only be made for materials delivered and stored if said
material is stored in a secured storage area in the community where the work is
being performed. The Engineer will compute payment for materials stared by
taking an inventory of the material on hand and applying the values per unit as
shown on the invoices. Payment for all pipe material stored larger than 12 inches
in diameter shall be limited to the invoice price for no more than 5,000 linear feet.
Provided, however, should the Contractor choose to start a laying crew on each
end of the project, then payment for pipe material stored will be increased to
5,000 feet for each crew.

partial payments to the Contractor for work performed during the preceding calendar

representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based on ENGI-
NEER's on -site observations of the Work in progress as an
experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI-
NEER's review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules that the Work has pro-
gressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of ENGI-
NEER's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of
the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any
subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a
final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit
Price Work under paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifi-
cations stated in the recommendation); and that CONTRAC-
TOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended.
However, by recommending any such payment ENGINEER
will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaus-
tive or continuous on -site inspections have been made to
check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the
Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters
or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC-
TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to
withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment
will constitute an additional representation by ENGINEER
to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRAC-
TOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph
14.13 have been fulfilled.
14.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole
or any part of any payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it
would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER.
ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such pay-
ment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or
the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such
payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be
necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from
loss because:
14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has
been damaged requiring correction or replacement,
14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Writ-
ten Amendment or Change Order,
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defec-
tive Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph
13.14, or
14.7.4. of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs
15.2.1 through 15 2.9 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount
recommended by ENGINEER because claims have been
made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's per-
formance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed
in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling
OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended. but
OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice
(with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such
action.
Substantial 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
CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGI-
NEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within
a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and
ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to deter-
mine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not con-
sider the Work substantially 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 Completion which shall fix the date
of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the
certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or cor-
rected 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 objec-
tions. ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substan-
tially 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. ENGINEER
considers the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will
within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER
and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial
Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be com-
pleted or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative
certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consider-
ation of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery
of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGI-
NEER will deliverto OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written
recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending
final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat,
utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform
ENGINEER prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive
certificate of Substantial Completion. ENGINEER's afore-
said recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CON-
TRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CON-
TRACTOR from the Work alter the date of Substantial Com-
pletion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable
access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.

ing:
14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CON-

TRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will ce rti fv to O WN' ER
and ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially
complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CON-
TRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGI-
NEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such
pan of the Work ready for its intended use and substan-
dally complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certif-
icate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
Withinareasonable time aftereither such request, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspec-
tion of that part of the Work to determine its status of
completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of
the Work 1e be substantially complete, ENGINEER will
notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writirggiving the
reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the
Work to be subslantial4 complete, the prosisior.s ofpara-
graphs 14.8 and 14,9 wil! apply with respect:ocenif.ca:ion
of Substar.tiai Comp:e:ion of that part of the Work and the
division of responsibility in respect t:icreof and access
thereto.
14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CON-
TRACTOR in writing :o permit OWNER 10 take over
operation of any such part of the Work although it is not
substantially complete. A copy' of such request will be
sent to ENGINEER and within 4 reacorable time there.
after OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall
make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine
its status of completion and will prepare a list of the items

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 CONTRAC-
TOR 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. The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final,
judgment may be entered upon it in any court having juris-

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
PARTIAL PAYMENT ESTIMATE
FOR WATER LINE CONSTRUCTION
' A. GENERAL
' The Engineer will prepare partial payment estimates on a monthly basis. The estimate
will include all work done through the second Friday of each month. Payment for
material on -hand will be made for materials stored and invoices furnished to the Engineer
' prior to the second Friday.
The procedures to be used by the Engineer in determining the amount due each month
' will generally be as set out below.
1. Pipeline Bid Items. The amount to be paid under pipeline bid items will be
' determined by converting the footage of pipe laid into an equivalent value of
length of pipe for purposes of payment. This value will be the sum of percentage
increments of completion of the pipeline construction. These percentage
increments are:
a. for all pipe laid in the trench, properly backfilled and compacted, 65 percent
' of the bid price;
b. for all sections of the pipeline where topsoil'has been replaced and cleanup
' is essentially completed without interruption from the beginning point of
pipeline construction (final fence repair is excepted), an additional
15 percent of the bid price;
' c. for all sections of the pipeline that have passed specified pressure and
leakage tests, an additional 5 percent of the bid price;
d. for all sections of the pipeline that have been successfully sterilized as
specified, an additional 5 percent of the bid price; and
e. for all sections of the pipeline where final fence repair, cleanup, seeding
and mulching are completed, an additional 10 percent of the bid price.
' An example of this procedure for the determination of equivalent value is as
follows.
' EXAMPLE
Assume that the Contractor, during the first month of the contract, lays
4,000 linear feet of pipe under Bid Item No. 1 for which he has bid $80 per foot,
complete in place. Of the 4,000 feet in place, assume that:
' 408-1
Section 408
Partial Payment for W/L
I
• 1,500 feet is considered to comply with paragraph a above,
• an additional 1,500 feet complies with paragraphs a and b, and
• the remaining 500 feet complies with paragraphs a, b and c.
How much can the Contractor expect to collect on this item of work? An
equivalent length of completed pipe would be calculated as follows by the
Engineer:
1,500L.F.@$80x65% .....................$78,000
1,500 L.F. @ $80 x 80°/a 96,000
500 L.F. @ $80 x 85% 34,000
Total Estimated Value of Completed Work $208,000
As shown above, the estimated value of completed work is $208,000. If this figure
is divided by the bid price of $80 per linear foot, then the footage of pipe that will
be shown on the estimate will be:
208 000
$80 = 2,600 linear feet of pipeline.
2. All
Bid
Items Except Pipeline.
The amount paid under these
items will be based
on
the
estimated value
of the
completed work at the time of
the estimate.
3. Estimate of Units. The estimate of units complete under each item will be
determined as set out above. In addition, the retainage in effect at the time the
estimate is prepared will be withheld.
4. Payment. Payment will only be made for materials delivered and stored if said
material is stored in a secured storage area in the community where the work is
being performed. The Engineer will compute payment for materials stored by
taking an inventory of the material on -hand and applying the values per unit as
shown on the invoices. Payment for all pipe material stored larger than 12 inches
in diameter shall be limited to the invoice price far no more than 5,000 linear feet.

4. Prestressed Concrete Water Pipe Installation. It is important that a uniform
' bedding be prepared for the pipe immediately before laying. The Contractor shall
use a laying square or some other satisfactory tool to check the bedding before
the pipe is laid.
A small ditch is to be dug across the trench below the grade at the midpoint of the
pipe to be laid to facilitate the removal of the cable sling used in handling the pipe.
' Another ditch is to be dug across the trench at the far end of the pipe to be laid
to allow for the placement of a wrapper of the quality manufactured by Mar -Mac
Manufacturing Company, or approved equal, which is to be placed under the
• joints. This band is used to keep the joint recess clean during backfilling and to
assist in pouring the outside mortar joint.
After the trench is prepared to receive the pipe, the pipe is to be lowered into the
trench with machines of adequate capacity to handle the loads safely, and which
will prevent damage to the joints, or the inside or outside surfaces of the pipe.
The bell of the pipe already laid and the spigot of the pipe to be laid is to be
cleaned just prior to joining the pipes, and the rubber gasket is to be stretched
over the spigot and placed in the annular spigot groove. The gasket, bell and
spigot shall be thoroughly lubricated with a coating of the lubricant supplied by the
pipe manufacturer before the gasket is placed in the spigot groove. Extreme care
is to be taken in pushing or pulling the spigot of the pipe into the bell of the pipe
already laid to prevent damaging the gasket.
During joint make-up, the pipe being lowered into the trench shall be supported
so the jointing effort is a straight pull -in. The jointing effort shall be aided with
come-alongs, winches, dead man, or backhoe. The position of the gasket shall
be checked with a feeler gauge as supplied by the pipe manufacturer. If the
gasket is not in place, the joint must be opened and relaid using a new gasket.
When the gasket is found to be in the proper position with the feeler gauge, the
joint can be finished as described below.
When a joint opening is needed to make a grade or alignment adjustment, the
joint shall be laid home first, then opened as required on one side. All joint
openings must be within the recommended limits of the pipe supplier.
The outside recess between the abutting pipes is to be completely filled with grout
'
consisting of one part cement and three parts sand. A wrapper of the quality
manufactured by Mar -Mac Manufacturing Company, or approved equal, is to be
laid under the joint to act as a form. This strip is to be brought up around both
sides of the pipe as the backfilling of the trench is being done to prevent dirt from
getting into the recess. When the backfill has reached the level of the centerline
of the pipe, the grout is to be poured into the bottom half of the joint. The
'remainder of the joint shall be filled after the backfill has reached the top of the
pipe.

fertilizer at the rate of 250 pounds per acre, or approximately one-half pound per
100 square feet. No watering will be required. However, after seeding and
fertilization the entire area shall be rolled with a roller of sufficient size and weight
to achieve a smooth finished surface prior to mulching.
Straw mulch consisting of good grade clean straw, free of weeds or seed shall be
placed over seeded areas and shall be uniformly spread so as to provide a
thickness of approximately 2 inches when first spread. Straw mulch shall be
placed by a suitable machine which mixes the mulch with an asphaltic binder prior
to placement of the mulch on the ground. I
Where the existing ground cover does not contain any of the grasses as set out
in the seed mixture above (Bermuda grass, Zoysia, etc.), the Contractor shall be
responsible for cutting, removing and stockpiling the existing sod on the job site.
After constructing the water line and backfilling the trench, the sod shall be
replaced to a condition equal to or better than that prior to construction. In the
event that insufficient sod has been stored, or sod has been lost or destroyed, the
Contractor shalt be responsible for providing and installing new ground cover of
the existing type to complete the cleanup.

Re: Beaver to Fayetteville Water Transmission Main
Fayetteville, Arkansas
Project No. Fy-192
Mr. Donald R. Bunn, P. E.
City Engineer
City of Fayetteville

Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701
Dear Mr. Bunn:
FAX 501/443.4340
Bids were received and opened as scheduled Thursday,
September 24, 1992, at the City Administration Building for the
construction of a water transmission main from the Beaver Water
District's treatment plant into Fayetteville.
Contract Section I of the project as bid required the
construction of either a 42 -inch or 36 -inch pipeline (prices were
received for both) from the Beaver Plant south parallel to the
existing 36 -inch line to a point near the intersection of Joyce
Street and Crossover Road (Highway 265). The work as bid also
included construction of a 36 -inch line (Contract Section II)
beginning at Crossover Road and extending west along Joyce Street
to North College Avenue, terminating at an existing 16 -inch line
just north of Mud Creek.
We have enclosed for your review the following:
Attachment A: Totals of Bids Received (one page)
Attachment B: Contract Section I Tabulation of Bids
(Pages B-1 through B-8)
Attachment C: Contract Section II Tabulation of Bids
(Pages C-1 through C-8)
As shown on the above attachments, ten bids were received on
each of the two contract sections from a total of eleven bidders.
One contractor bid only Contract Section I, while another bid
only Contract Section II.

The three low bidders and the amounts bid on each of the
contract sections are as follows:
Contract Section I:
Garney Companies, Inc. $4,334,523.50
Kraus Construction Co., Inc. $4,603,766.00
John D. Stephens, Inc. $4,979,207.50
Contract Section II:
Garney
Companies, Inc.
$
988,336.50
Kraus
Construction Co., Inc.
$1,006,710.00
Benson
Construction Co., Inc.
$1,021,495.00
Garney's actual bid on Contract Section II was
$1,008,336.50. However, Garney stipulated that should they be
awarded Contract Section I, they would grant a $20,000 deduct
from their total bid on Contract Section II. Thus, since Garney
was the low bidder on Contract Section I, we have shown their bid
on Contract Section II to be $1,008,336.50 minus $20,000 =
$988,336.50.
The total bid for both contract sections was then submitted
by Garney Companies, as follows:
Contract Section I -
Contract Section II -
$4,334,523.50
988.336.50
Total Contract Sections I & II -
$5,322,860.00

No other bid or combination of bids provided a total lower
project cost than did Garney's bid, considering the $20,000
deduction.
Our construction cost estimate to construct these facilities
was $6,000,000 utilizing 42 -inch pipe, while our estimate was
$5,400,000 utilizing 36 -inch pipe throughout the entire project.
As heretofore set out, Contract Section I provided for the
construction of 51,000 linear feet of 42 -inch pipeline with a
deductive alternate to construct a 36 -inch line. A review of the
low bids will reveal that the cost to construct the 42 -inch
pipeline is only $605,000 greater than the cost to construct a
36 -inch line.

In a Water Master Planning Study dated June 1989 conducted
by McGoodwin, Williams and Yates for the City of Fayetteville, we
set out that the useful life of a transmission main is normally
in excess of 50 years. We further set out that the carrying
capacity of a 42 -inch line (assuming the same total friction
loss) is about 50 percent greater than a 36 -inch pipeline, while
the estimated increase in cost was set at about 27 percent. We
stated in the report that: "Based on relative carrying capacity
and estimated cost, and the useful life of transmission lines, we
believe that strong consideration should be given to the
construction of a 42 inch or 48 inch transmission line between
Beaver Water District and the city's distribution system."
Comparing the bid information will show that the real cost
to construct a 42 -inch line in lieu of a 36 -inch line will
represent only a 14 percent increase. In constructing a 42 -inch
line to operate in parallel with the existing 36 -inch line rather
than another 36 -inch line, we also offer the following comments:
• We estimate a 34 percent reduction in friction loss at
the 20 -year design flow of 26.2 million gallons per
day.
• We estimate a total increase in flow of about 6.5
million gallons per day at the same friction loss.
• The construction of an additional 30 -inch pipeline
would be required to transport the 6.5 MGD without an
increase in total friction loss.
• Today's cost to construct a 30 -inch pipe is roughly
estimated to be approximately $3,000,000.
We believe that, providing
should award these contracts to
City, Missouri, utilizing 42 -in
the amounts shown:
Contract Section I -
Contract Section II -
funds are available, the city
Garney Companies, Inc. of Kansas
ah pipe for Contract Section I, in
$4,334,523.50
$ 988,336.50
Garney Companies is a company that has successfully
completed several major projects for MW?. While we have no way
of analyzing the financial condition of Garney Companies, the
project requirements include a 100 percent performance bond and a

100 percent payment bond be executed prior to start of
construction. We believe Garney Companies to be an excellent
contractor and qualified to undertake this project, and for that
reason, we recommend award of these contracts as set out above.
If you have questions, please feel free to call. We will be
in attendance at the Board meeting to answer any questions that
might arise.
