superintendent and any necessary assistants. The superintendent shall
represent the Contractor in his absence and all directions given to him

service of all workmen, mechanics, tradesmen, and other employees necessary
in the execution of the work contemplated herein. The employees of the
Contractor shall be competent and willing to perform satisfactorily the
work required of them. Any employee who is disorderly, intemperate, or in-

manner, shall be promptly discharged.

first-class workmanship will be acceptable.
13. POSITION, GRADIENT, AND ALIGNMENT:
The Engineer shall set such stakes to proper line and grade as may
be necessary for guidance of the Contractor in the proper performance of
the work, and all work must conform closely to the lines and grades given.
It shall be the duty of the Contractor and his employees to call
the Engineer's attention to any stakes which may have been disturbed or
which seem to be off line or grade.

points, and stakes, and in case of willful or careless desruction, he shall

arisen out of or incidental to the performance of this contract by the
Contractor, his agents and employees and his subcontractor, their agents
and employees, regardless of whether such claims or actions are founded in
whole or in part upon alleged negligence of the Contracting Authority,
Contracting Authority's representatives or the Engineer, or the employees,
agents or licensees thereof. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Contracting Authority and its representatives and the Engineer
and his representatives in respect to any such matters.
15. LEGAL RESTRICTIONS AND PERMITS:

and detour signs. The Contractor shall give all notices and comply with all
laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations bearing on the conduct of the
work as drawn or specified.

of, or of the funds to be received thereunder by the Contractor, will be
recognized unless such assignment has had the written approval of the Con-
tracting Authority, and the Surety has been given due notice of the assign-
ment in writing.
No assignment, transfer, or subletting, even though consented to,

manner, the Contracting Authority may, at its option, annul and terminate
Assignee's contract.

by the Engineer, in order to secure the completion of the various portions
of the work in general harmony.
18. SUSPENSION OF WORK:

part thereof by giving ten (10) day's notice to the Contractor in writing;
the work shall be resumed by the Contractor ten (10) days after the date
fixed in a written notice from the Contracting Authority to the Contractor
to do so.
If the work, or any part thereof, shall be stopped by the notice
in writing aforesaid, and if the Contracting Authority does not give notice
in writing to the Contractor to resume work at a date within twenty (20)
days of the date fixed in the written notice to suspend, except in the
case of litigation, then the Contractor may abandon that portion of the
work so suspended, and he will be entitled to the estimates and payments for
all work done on the portions so abandoned, if any.
19. THE CONTRACTING AUTHORITY'S RIGHT TO DO WORN::
If the Contractor should neglect to presecute the work properly or
fail to perform any provision of this Contract, the Contracting Authority
after three (3) day's written notice to the Contractor may without prejudice
to any other remedy it may have, make good such deficiencies, and may de-
duct the cost thereof from payments then or thereafter due the Contractor.
20. THE CONTRACTING AUTHORITY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE CONTRACT:
If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he should
make a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver
should be appointed on account of his insolvency, or if he should refuse or
should fail, except in case for which extension of time is provided to
supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or if he should
fail to make prompt payment to Subcontractors or for material or labor, or
desregard laws, ordinances, or the instructions of the Engineer, or other-
wise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of the Contract,
then the Contracting Authority, upon the certificate of the Engineer that
sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may, without prejudice to
any other right or remedy and after giving the Contractor ten (10) day's
written notice, terminate the employment of the Contractor as provided under
Paragraph 21, immediately following. 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 shall exceed the expense of
finishing the work, including compensation for additional managerial and
administrative services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If
such expenses shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay
the difference to the Contracting Authority. The expense incurred by the
Contracting Authority as herein provided and the damage incurred through
the Contractor's default, shall be certified by the Engineer.

INSTRUCTIONS. TO BIDDERS
1, QUALIFICATIONS OF CONTRACTORS:
Before submitting a bid, bidders must be licensed under the
terms of Act 150 of the 1965 Acts of the Arkansas General Assembly, and the
successful bidder must be legally qualified in all respects to do business
in the State of Arkansas.
When called upon to do so after receipt of Proposals, bidder
shall prepare a Financial Statement, Experience Record, and Equipment
Schedule. These statements shall reflect the current status of the bidder.
The statements of each bidder must show net liquid assets or credit
facilities in an amount of not less than fifteen (15) percent of the total
amount bid. Each bidder must ha -e had at least three (3) year's experience
in construction of similar improvements and must have successfully completed
at least three (3) such projects. Each bidder must have equipment available
which, in the opinion of the Engineer, is adequate to complete the work under
these Specifications in the time allowed for completion. Should any bids
be received from bidders whose statement, when filed, fail to show that the
bidder's qualifications meet the minimum requirements above -enumerated,
such bids may be rejected.
2. LOCAL CONDITIONS:
Bidders shall read the Specifications, examine the Plans, and
make their own estimates of the existing facilities and the difficulties
which will attend the execution of the work called for by the proposed
Contract, including local conditions, uncertainty of weather, and all other
contingencies. Bidders shall satisfy themselves by personal examination of
the location of the proposed work, and by such means as they may choose, as
to actual conditions and requirements. Information derived from the Plans
and Specifications or from the Engineer or his assistants shall not relieve
the bidder of this responsibility.
3. PROPOSAL GUARANTEES:
Proposals must be accompanied by either a certified or cashier's
check, drawn on a National Bank or a bank having membership in the Federal
Reserve System, or a Bid Bond executed by a satisfactory Surety. The proposal
guarantee shall be in an amount not less than five (5) percent of the bid
and made payable to the Contracting Authority to whom the proposal is made.
A lesser amount will not be accepted.
The proposal guarantee, or other bid qualifications, shall be sealed
in a separate envelope firmly attached to the outside of the sealed Proposal.
The outer envelope shall be opened first, and if the documents are not found
to be in order, the sealed proposal shall be returned to the bidder unopened.
The amount of any check or bond shall be retained by the Contracting
Authority as liquidated damages in case the bidder neglects or refuses to
enter into a contract and to furnish the required contract bond within ten
(10) days after the prescribed contract and bond forms are presented for
signature.
I!'III�II
Checks of unsuccessful bidders will be returned immediately after
a contract has been executed.
4. PROPOSALS:
(a) Proposals shall be strictly in accord with the prescribed
forms, furnished with the Specifications. Any modifications or deviations
therefrom may be considered sufficient cause for rejection.
(b) The bidder shall state in words and figures the lump sum and
unit prices for which he proposes to do each item of work covered by the
Proposal. In case words and figures do not agree, the words shall govern
and the figures shall be disregarded.
(c) It is to be understood that the lump sum required in the
Proposal is for the furnishing of all materials required to be furnished
and the doing of all work required under these Contract Documents, including
items for which no quantities are given, and the quantities given in the
"List of Variable Quantities" at the end of the Proposal. The "Unit Prices
for Variation of Quantities" required are for adjustment of the "Basic
Bid" by reason of variation of actual variabl'e quantities from the quantities
given in the "List of Variable Quantities". In case unit prices are not
required, it is to be understood that the lump sum required in the Proposal
is for the furnishing of all materials required to be furnished and the
doing of all work required under these Contract Documents.
(d) Proposals may be submitted for any or all Schedules, if
more than one Schedule is included in the work, but bidders submitting a
proposal for a "construction" Schedule must submit a proposal for any other
Schedule of work incident thereto, such as "Electrical" and "Plumbing".
Where a bidder bids on more than one Schedule and desires to accept the
proposal, but any reservation on the part of the bidder to make a decision
on what Schedules he will accept after bids are opened will render the bid
null and void.
(e) Proposals must be signed, in writing, by an individual
authorized to bind the bidder.
(f) Proposals must be submitted complete, with all other Contract
Documents in their original binding as furnished by the Engineer. They
must be submitted at the place and on or before the time specified in the
Advertisement for Bids.
(g) Proposals must be submitted in sealed envelopes addressed
to the Contracting authority, and clearly marked on the outside of the
envelope, "Proposal for Construction Contract" to be opened at (date and
time). The Bidder's current Arkansas Contractor's license number must be
marked on the envelope.
(h) The Contracting Authority will not consider bids covering
only a portion of these Specifications.
1O
Iz
(i) The unbalancing of bids will not be tolerated. Evidence of
material unbalancing will be considered cause for rejection.
5. MODIFICATION OF BIDS:
No modification of bids already submitted will be considered
unless such modifications are received prior to the hour set for opening.
6. BID BONDS, CONTRACT BONDS, AND INSURANCE:
Attention of bidders is called to Act 82 of the 1935 Acts of the
Arkansas General Assembly, which requires that all bid bonds, performance
bonds, labor bonds, employer's liability insurance, public liability
insurance, workmen's collective insurance, and property damage insurance
must be secured through resident agents of Arkansas.
7. CLARIFICATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS:
If any person contemplating submitting a bid for the proposed
contract is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the Plans,
Specifications, or other proposed Contract Documents, he may submit to the
Engineer a written request for any interpretation thereof. The person
submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any
interpretation of the proposed Documents will be made only by an Addendum
duly issued, and a copy of such Addendum will be mailed to each person who
has previously secured or who subsequently secures a set of Documents. The
Contracting Authority will not be responsible for any other explanations
or interpretations of the proposed Documents.
8. EXECUTION OF CONTRACT DOCU ENTS:
Following the award and within ten (10) days, provided for in the
Proposal, the successful bidder shall properly execute five (5) counterparts
of the Contract Documents.
9. BASIS OF AWARD:
Bids will be considered on the basis of the total bid price or
prices given in the proposal. In the event Unit Prices are required they
will not be considered except that evidence of serious unbalancing of the
Unit Prices shall be considered cause for rejection of bids.
The Contract(s) will be awarded to the bidder (or bidders in the
case of more than one Schedule of Work) submitting the lowest and best bid
(or combination of bids), considering the contractor's experience and
ability to do the work, and the character and quality of the equipment
he proposes to furnish. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to
select such bids or combination of bids which in its opinion would serve
its interest best.
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to select between
any Alternatives in the proposal.

Pending settlement of disputes on any point of controversy,
the Engineer may suspend action on all or any part of the work. The
Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim for loss or damage by
reason of such delay, nor shall he be entitled to extension of time,
although such extension of time may be granted by the Engineer if he
deems it in the interest of the work.
21. TERMINATION FOR BREACH:
In the event that any of the provisions of this Contract
are violated by the Contractor or by any of his Subcontractors, the
Contracting Authority may serve written notice upon the Contractor and
the Surety of its intention to terminate such Contract, such notices to
contain the reasons for such intentions to terminate the Contract, and
unless within ten (10) days after the serving of such notice upon the
Contractor such violation shall cease and satisfactory arrangements for
correction by made, the Contract shall, upon the expiration of said ten
(10) days, cease and terminate. In the event of any such termination,
the Contracting Authority shall immediately serve notice thereof upon
the Surety and the Contractor, and the Surety shall have the right to
take over and perform the Contract, provided, however, that if the
Surety does not commence performance thereof within thirty (30) days
from the date of the mailing to such Surety of notice of termination,
the Contracting Authority may take over the work and prosecute the
same:to completion by contract for the account and at the expense of
the Contractor, and the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the
Contracting Authority for any excess cost occasioned the Contracting
Authority thereby, and in such event the Contracting Authority may
take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such materials,
appliances, and plant as may be on the site of the work and necessary
therefor.
22. PAYMENTS WITHHELD:
The Contracting Authority may withhold or, on accout of
subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any
certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Contract-
ing Authority from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied,
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating
probable filing of claims,
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly
to Subcontractor or for material or labor,
(d) Damage to another Contractor,
(e) Incomplete work
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
23. DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TI:

he shall within ten (10) days from the beginning of such delay notify the
Engineer in writing of the causes of any such delay. Extensions of time,
with relief from responsibility for liquidated damages incurred by the
Contracting Authority on account of such delay, will be granted the to
Contractor, when, in the opinion of the Engineer, the causes so calledll

within the time specified.

if the Contractor claims compensation for additional work not

which statement shall be in the hands of the Engineer within such time as
will allow a full consideration of the basis for such claim, and in no
case later than fifteen (15) days after the work has been completed or
damages sustained. The Contractor shall furnish, if required, any accounts,
bills, or vouchers relating thereto. Unless such claims are made as re-
ruired, they shall be considered forfeited and invalid.
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to contract with any
person or firm other than the Contractor for any or all extra work. The
Contractor's attention is especially called to the fact that he shall be
entitled to no claim for damages for anticipated profits on any portion of
the work to be omitted.
25. ARBITRATION:
(a) Demand for Arbitration. Any decision of the Engineer which
is subject to arbitration shall be submitted to arbitration upon the demand
of either party to the dispute.
The Contractor shall not cause a delay of the work because of the
pendency of arbitration proceedings, except with the written permission of
the Engineer, and then only until the arbitrators shall have any oppor-
tunity to determine whether or not the work shall continue until they decide
the matters in dispute.
The demand for arbitration shall be delivered in writing to the
Engineer and the adverse party, either personally or by registered mail to
the last known address of each, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the
Engineer's decision, and in no case after final payment has been accepted.
If the Engineer fails to make a decision within a reasonable time, a demand
for arbitration may be made as if his decision had been rendered against
the demanding party.
(b) Arbitrators. No one shall be nominated or act as an arbitra-
tor who is in any way financially interested in this Contract or in the
business affairs of the Contracting Authority, or the Contractor, or the
Engineer, or otherwise connected with any of them. Each Arbitrator shall
be a person in general familiar with the work or the problem involved in
the dispute submitted to arbitration.
Unless otherwise provided by controlling statutes, the parties may
agree upon one arbitrator; otherwise there shall be three, one named in
writing by each party to this Contract, to the other party, and the third
chosen by those two arbitrators.
If there be one arbitrator, his decision shall be binding; if
three, the decision of any two shall be binding in respect to both the
matter submitted to and the procedure followed during the arbitration.
Such decision shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action.
(c) Arbitration Procedure. The arbitrators shall deliver a
written notice to each of the parties and to the Engineer, either personally
or by registered mail to the last known address of each, of the time and
place for the beginning of the hearing of the matters submitted to them.
Illll�!Illl�l�i I=
Each party may submit to the arbitrators such evidence and arguments as he
may desire and the arbitrators may consider pertinent. The arbitrators
shall, however, be the judges of all matters of law and fact relating to
both the subject matters of and the procedure during arbitration and shall
not be bound by technical rules of law or procedure. They may hear
evidence in whatever form they desire. The parties may be represented
before them by such persons as each may select, subject to the discipli-
nary power of the arbitrators if such representative shall interfere with
the orderly or speedy conduct of the proceedings.
Each party, and the Engineer, shall supply the arbitrators with
such papers and information as they demand, or with any witness whose move-
ments are subject to their respective control, and upon refusal or neglect
to comply with such demands, the arbitrator may render their decision
without the evidence which might have been solicited therefrom, and the
absence of such evidence shall afford no ground for challenge of the award
by the party refusing or neglecting to comply with such demand.
The submission to arbitration (the statement of the matters in
dispute between the parties to be passed upon by the arbitrators) shall be
writing duly acknowledged before a notary. Unless waived in writing by
both parties to the arbitration, the arbitrators, before hearing testimony,
shall be sworn by an officer authorized by law to administer an oath,
faithfully and fairly to hear and examine the matters in controversy and to
make a just award according to the best of their understanding.
The arbitrators, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized
to award to the party whose contention is sustained such sums as they
shall consider proper for the time, expense, and trouble incident to the
arbitration, and if the arbitration was demanded without reasonable cause,
damages for delay, and other losses.
The award of the arbitrators shall be in writing and acknowledged
like a deed to be recorded, and a duplicate shall be delivered personally
or by registered mail forthwith upon its rendition, to each of the parties
to the controversy and to the Engineer. Judgement may be rendered upon
the award by the Federal Court or by the highest State Court having juris-
diction to render same.
The award of the arbitrators shall not be open to obioction on
account of the form of the oroceedinas or the award, unless otherwise
provided by the controlling statutes. In the event of such statutes pro-
viding on any matter covered by this Article otherwise than as herein -
before specified, the method of procedure throughout and the legal effect
of the award shall be wholly in accord with said statutes, it being the
intention hereby to lay down a principle of action to be followed, leaving
its local application to be adapted to the legal requirements of the
jurisdiction having authority over the arbitration.
The Engineer shall not be deemed a part_ to the dispute. He is
given the right to appear before the arbitrators to explain the basis of
his decision and give evidence as they may require.
Ilillmil
26. REFERENCE TO MANUFACTURER OR TRADE N.A>E:S:
Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is
identified on the plans or in the specifications by reference to
manufacturers' or vendors' names, trade names, catalogue numbers, etc.,
it is intended merely to establish a standard; and, any material,
article, or equipment of other manufacturers and vendors which will perform
adequately the duties imposed by the general design will be considered
equally acceptable provided the material, article, or equipment so proposed,
is, in the opinion of the Engineer, of equal substance and function. It
shall not be purchased or installed by the contractor without the Engineers'
written approval.
27. USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS:
The Contracting Authority shall have the right to take
possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions
of the work, notwithstanding that the time for completing the entire work
on such portions may not have expired; but such taking possession and use
shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work' not completed in accordance
with the Contract Documents. If such prior use of completed portions
increases the cost of, or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled
to such extra compensation or extension of time, or both, as the Engineer
may determine.
The Contracting Authority, in taking possession of completed
portions, shall agree to accept the decision of the Engineer, on matters
relating to responsibility for damages that may occur to any portion of
the work during the period of possession preceding acceptance and final
payment.
23. ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAY 'ENT:
As soon as the work has been substantially and satisfactorily
completed, the Engineer will make a final estimate stating that the work
provided for under this Contract has been completed and is accepted by
him under the terms and conditions thereof, with qualifications, if any,
as stated. If certain parts of the work are not completed or if certain
corrections must be made in the work even though the work is substantially
completed, the Engineer is authorized to determine the amount which in his
opinicn is required for completion and/or correction of the work, and such
amount may be withheld from the final payment to the Contractor, pending
the completion and correction as required. The balance found to be due the
Contractor shall be paid by the Contracting authority within forty (40)
days after the date of the final estimate. Prior to filing for final
estimates, the Contractor shall file with the Engineer a receipt in full
from each manufacturer, subcontractor, dealer and supplier for all equipment
and material used on the work and a complete release of all liens which may
have arisen from this Contract. In lieu thereof, the Contractor shall file
statements showing balance due or claimed on all accounts and the Contracting
Authority shall have the right, if it so elects, to withhold sufficient
money to pay such balances until receipts in full or satisfactory evidence
of final determination arc filed with the Encineer who may then ma} -.e
the final estimate.
-'-7
rt
�i�llllll��l
The making and acceptance of the final payment shall
constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contracting Authority, other thar
those arising from incomplete or uncorrected work, unsettled liens, or
from faulty workmanship or materials, and of all claims by the Contractor,
except those previously made and still unsettled.
If the work has been partially but substantially completed
to the extent that all adjustments in the Contract sum may be made, the
Engineer may, if material delay in completion is anticipated or if
otherwise deemed in the interest of the work, make the final estimate,
retaining, in addition to other requirements which may be specified
under payments, an amount representing the cost of unfinished work.
Such payment shall be under the terms and conditions governing final
payment.
Neither the making of the final estimate, or final payment,
shall relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for faulty materials
or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects and pay for any damage
resulting therefrom which shall appear within a period of one (1) year
from the date of substantial completion. The' Owner shall give notice of
observed defects with reasonable promptness, and all questions arising
under this paragraph shall be decided by the Engineer.
29. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR:
The Engineer will on or about the Twentieth (20th) day of
each month make an estimate of the wort: done. As soon thereafter as
possible, and as soon as the Contractor has filed receipted bills sho•.wiac
that he has paid the previous month's bills, the Contractor will be aid
seventy (70) percent of the value of wort: in place, plus ten (10) rercent
for that portion of the work accepted for beneficial occupancy, plus (2 2)
percent of the value of work that has been properly cleaned up, plus
fifty (50) percent of the value of the materials on the job site but
not in place (figured from the Contractors paid invoices), minus amounts
previously paid. A final estimate will be made following the final
inspection as provided under paragraph 23, after which time and within a
period of forty (40) days, the Contractor will be paid the full amount of
the contract price, less amounts previously paid.. Payment will be made
only for the actual quantities installed.
The Contracting Authority may withhold or, on account of sub-
sequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any certificates
to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Contracting Authority
from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied,
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of
claims,
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make Payments nroperly to Sub-
contractor or for material or labor,
(d) Damage to another Contractcr,
(e) Inccmplete work.
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
30. SHOP AND ERECTION DRAWINGS:
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with triplicate
copies of all shop and erection drawings for approval. These drawings
shall include the drawings prepared on structural and reinforcing steel,
special layout drawings of equipment or machinery purchased under this
Contract, and other supplementary drawings required in the prosecution
of the work. One copy shall be returned to the Contractor and two
copies retained by the Engineer for field and office reference. The
approval of such drawings by the Engineer does not constitute an
acceptance of responsibility of their accuracy.
31. LABORATORY TESTS:
All material entering into the work is subject to various
tests as may be required by the specifications. The cost of all such
tests shall be the responsibility of the Contractor furnishing such
material.
The Contractor shall also bear the cost of any tests arising
out of his desire to use materials which may be questionable in the
opinion of the Engineer.
32. DRINKING WATER AND SANITARY FACILITIES:
The Contractor shall provide safe drinking water for his
workmen during the construction period. The water shall be delivered
through a spigot, angle jet fountain, or other approved device. Common
drinking cups will be prohibited.
The Contractor shall furnish adequate sanitary facilities
for workmen in the work area during the construction period.
33. CONSTRUCTION SAFETY:
Throughout these specifications, whenever engineering
decisions are to be made to ensure adequate construction in accordance
with the plans and specifications, such inspection and engineering
decisions are not to be construed as supervision of the Contractors'
work force, nor make the Engineer responsible for providing a safe place
for the performance of the work by the Contractor or the Contractors'
employees or those of the suppliers, his subcontorsnor theser
visits, use, work, travel, or occupance by any person, as
responsi-
bilities are covered under the provisions of the contract, the
Contractors insurance and performance bond and cannot be the responsi
bilit'. of the Engineer.
The above provision does not prevent the Engineer or his
29
Illllllllilllll�l
personnel from requiring reasonable safety standards, if, in the
course of their technical supervision, it comes to the attention of
the Engineer that reasonable safety standards are not being carried
out.

and the remainder of the excavation shall be done by the nine layer
immediately prior to installing the pipe, using the final excavation to
firm un on each side of the pipe previously laid. The bottom of the
trench shall be generally shaped to fit the outside surface of the pipe
in such a .tanner that the pipe will be in continuous contact with and
have a longitudinal bearing on soil foi the full length of the pipe
except for such distance as it is necessary for bell holes and the proper
sealing cf the pipe joints. The pipe subgrade shall be accurately
graded prior to excavating bell holes. The accuracy of the finished
grade of the pipe shall be obtained in preparation of the subgrade. A
bell hole for each joint shall be excavated by the pipe laver immediately
prior to :lacing the pipe in the trench. Bell holes shall be of such
depth that the pipe bell will not come in contact with the bottom of the
bell hole. All trenches shall be so graded that the spigot end of the
pipe will be accurately centered in the adjacent pine bell when laid,
without raising or lowering the pipe after installation in the trench.
if the soil at the bottom of the trench is mucky or in such
condition that it cannot be properly shaped and graded, or if the sub -
grade material is too soft to properly supports the pipe, the Contractor
shall excavate below the normal subgrade elevation as directed by the
Engineer. Wherever excavation is carried below the specified subgrade,
at the direction of the Engineer, the Contractor shall provide and install
a fill cf gravel thoroughly tamped into place up to an elevation sufficient
to prepare the subgrade as specified in the preceding paragraph.
,Were water occurs in trenches, they shall be excavated to a
depth of arroximately four (4) inches below grade and bac}:filled with
SE -2 to a point approximately 1/10 of the internal pipe diameter or two
inches, whichever is the greater, below grade. Pumps shall then be kept
operating, taking suction out of a sump below the gravel so as to hold
the water level well below the bottoms of all bells until the joints have
been _placed and allowed to set sufficiently so that water will not injure
them.
Where rock or other hard material occurs in the trench at the
planned grade of the bottom of the pipe in such way that any portion of
the pipe would rest on rock or hard material or where in the opinion of
the Engineer it is necessary, all rock shall be removed to provide a
clearance of at least 6 inches below and on each side of all pipe, valves,
and fittings for pipe sizes 24 inches or smaller and 9 inches for pipe
sizes 31 inches and larger. The trench shall then be refilled with gravel,
thoroughly compacted to a point approximately 1/10 the nominal pipe diameter,
or two inches, whichever is the greater, above crade and the bottom of the
trench shall be graded as previously specified.
The Contractor will be required to keep the sides of the
excavation vertical, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

made for SB-2 used as bedding.
Excavation for manholes and other accessories shall be sufficient
to leave at least twelve (12) inches in the clear between their outer
surfaces and the embankment or timber which may be used to protect them.
The excavation of trenches shall not advance more than four
hundred (400) feet ahead of the completed pipe work and backfill, except
by permission of the Engineer.
II -4 EXCAVATION - CLASSIFICATION AND PAY4ENT:
All excavation shall be classed as common excavation.
The cost of common excavation is included in the unit prices
for handling and installation of sewer pipe St the various depths.
II -S BLASTING:
Blasting will be permitted only when proper precautions are taken
for the protection of persons, the work, and adjacent property; and
any damage done to the work or property by blasting shall be repaired
by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense.
All ecerations involving the orocurement, handling, use, and
storage :'riosiyes shall be in full ce^•ice ::it ^olio ble State
and Federal statutes and regulations.
Blasting will be done only after securing written permission
from the City Engineers' office. Proof of blasting insurance will be
required before written permission is given the Contractor.
The Contractor shall be liable for all injuries or deaths to
persons or damage to property caused by blasts or explosions.
The attention c:f the Contractor is called to Section 9 of the
General Conditions of the Specifications entitled "Insurance".
The cost of all work under this Section shall be included in
the Contract unit price for laying sewer pipe and will not be paid for
separately.

Trenches shall be backfilled with fine, loose earth free from
cicds or stones larger than two (2) inches in any dimension, and of
proper moisture content. This selected material shall be carefully
deposited by hand in layers not to exceed fcur (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 sprincline of
the pine. The backfill 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 53-2 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 we will be neatly graded
up 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 any 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 occurir,g
shall refill them often enough to avoid hazard.us conditions or inconven-
ience.
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 `•.-m oc'.ks nd riles 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.
All roadways and driveways shall be backfilled with SB-2 and
temporarily repaved with cold mix asphalt. The roadway or driveway
shall then be replaced as called for elsewhere in these specifications.
The attention of the Contractor is called to a separate Section
in these Specifications concerning crossing lawns.

The low pressure air test shall be conducted by plugginq each
per.iog in the reach of pipe to be tested. All plugs shall be braced
against slippage due to internal pressure. One of the plugs provided
Oust have an inlet tap or other provision for connecting an air hose.
After the air control equipment is connected to the air hose, the air
pressure shall be monitored so that the internal pressure does not ex-
ceed 5.0 psig. After reaching 4.0 psig, the air supply shall be throttled
o maintain between 4.0 and 3.5 psig for at least two minutes in order
to allow equilibrium between air temperature and the pipe walls.
During this time, all plugs shall be checked to detect any leakage. If
plugs are found to leak, the air shall be bled off, the plugs tightened,
and air supplied again. After the temperature has stabilized, the
ressure should be allowed to decrease from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig. If
-..e time required for the pressure drop is greater than that shown in
the table below, the pipe shall be presumed free of defects.

incidental thereto.
II -1j CONNECTION TO EXISTING MANHOLES:
;:sere required on the Plans to connect to an existihc macho_a,
and where no stub exists in such manholes, an opening shall be cut in the
wall of the existing manhole of sufficient size to permit the proper
installation of the new pipe at the designated line and grade. After new
pie has been installed, extending entirely through the wall of the manhola,
the opening around the new pipe shall be refilled with concrete, or brick and
concrete, and properly plastered inside and outside with mortar so that no
leakage can occur. Bottoms of existing manholes shall be trenched out and
refinished to the proper invert as previously specified.
The cost of all work done under this section shall be included
in the Contract unit price for pipe and shalt not be aid for separately.
IT -l1 C'2TTING AND REPLACING SPECIAL S"^'••'ACES:
yaenever it becomes necessary in excavating for trench to disturb
special surfaces, such as paved or gravel streets, drives, :talks 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 to eliminate future settlement. The surface shall be restored
l=ine the _-._ type of surfacing ratertals that were used in the original
surfacing, except that asphalt streets and highways _hall be replaced with
concrete as shown on the miscellaneous details sheet in the Plans.
ackfill of trench lying within roadways shall be in strict
accordance with the applicable prow_sip.,_ as stated in Section II of these
Specificaticns. The condition of the backfill, with special regard to the degree
of compactier., 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 backfillinc operaticn so as to restore
_he roadway to its original condition and traffic capacity. If in the opinion
of the E _neer the replacement of surfacing is lagging, he may, at his
discretitn, suspend the pipe laying operation until the replacement of sur-
facing proceeds in a satisfactory manner.
Immediately prier to replacing asphalt or concrete pavement or
surfacing, a chalk line shall he 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

greater than thirty-six (36) inches is recuired and authorized by the Encineer,
the a_tualwidth of pavement cut and replaced shall be used in determining
the cuan_i_ 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 cocupied by the trench may be disturbed and covered with dirt from
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.
The Contractor will be responsible for maintaining flagmen
while •::or::inc within or near city streets. bn the event a closed street
is recuired, the Contractor shall carefully mark a detour route. The
Contractor will be responsible for providing and maintaining barricades,
warning :_gyps, signs, washing equipment, labor, and every other item re-
auired to maintain roadways safe and comfortable to travel and reduce the
inconvenience and discomfort of adjacent residents as much as possible.
will also be the Contractor's responsibility to replace signs,
mailboxes, posts, retainer walls, and other obstructions which were removed
by h_.. during construction of this project.
Gravel surfacing cut and replaced will be measured and paid for
as the cubic yards of gravel actually used in replacing such surfacing.
Special surfacing cut and replaced will be paid for at the
appropriate contract unit price as given in the Proposal. Contract unit
prices shall be inclusive of materials, placement, and all work incidental
thereto.
II -13 CROSSING LAWNS:
The following shall apply to all lines crossing lawns, as desic-
nated on the Plans. After settlement has occurred, the disturbed area shall
be dressed out with three (3) inches of top soil and hand raked. The dressed
out areas shall then be seeded or sprigged with the appropriate grass or grass
mixture, as directed by the Engineer.
If lawns, bushes and small trees are likely to be damaged by
the worn, _n-' shall be taken up ahead of construction. They shall be
procerl•: _ __ct_d until such time as they can be reset.
It is the intention of this S_eci`_cation that lawn areas be
_____ as __osel.• as possible to their __ pinal condition. The cost
of ___ ork .....c_ this section shall be ..cl•uded in the appropriate Contract
;'1
unit price for pine, and shall not be paid for separately.
11-13 CROSSING FENCES:
The installation of lines may necessitate crossing several
fences as shown on the Plans.
Prior to clearing the right of way, the Contractor shall
install a braced post assembly on each side of the right of way so that
when the fence is cut, the tension on the fence is not reduced. He
shall then construct temporary gates so as to maintain livestock in the
original pasture during construction.
After all construction, including cleanup, is complete, the
fences shall be rebuilt to equal or better than original condition, using
new posts and wire. The wire used in rebuilding of the penings shall be
of the same general type as the existing fences. Posts shall be pressure -
treated pine, having a minimum top diameter of 4 nchoa .
adhere removal, replacement, or repair, of chain link fences
is required, the Contractor shall retain a professional -fence company
to perform the work. The cost of all work done under t..is Section will be
included in the Contract unit prices and none %::ill be ::aid for separately.
II -14 GARDEN CROSSINGS:
in the event of a garden crossing oxtrcne care %..ill be taken
to damage as little of the garden as is ::ossible. lifter __^^lotion of
the pine laying operation within the ca -pan area the _tan shall be dressed
with a minimum of 12 inches of topsoil and ::and raked smooth.
II -15 CONCRETE:
All concrete shall be coocosed of the materials described
in paragraphs 5, 6, and 7, Part III, and shall be proportioned by weight
in such manner as to obtain a plastic workable mix. All concrete shall
have a 28 day compressive strength of 3060 PSE and a slum of approximately
4 inches.
In placing concrete, care shall be taken that the freshly
placed mass is so placed and vibrated that there is no tendency for the
coarse aggregate to segregate from the mortar.
All concrete shall be properly protected from too rapid
curing or from freezing while green.
The cost of all work in this section shall be included in the
unit contract _rice for Class concrete ant shall not be t;ad fcr se:.a-

11-16 CLEANING UP:
After the construction work is completed, all refuse and
debris resulting from the work shall be cleaned up and disposed of to
the satisfaction of the Engineer. All excess excavation, waste concrete,
piping, lumber, and other refuse shall be removed from the site of the
work and the site leveled, graded, and dressed up until it is neat,
smooth, and workmanlike.
It shall be specifically understood that the clean up
operation shall be maintained as closely as possible to the pipe laying

to form a true line for removal and replacement.
The Contractor shall then excavate the trench, remove all
earth from the site and install the encasement pipe. The backfill shall

The pavement and base shall then be removed for a distance of 18 inches
from each side of the trench. The Contractor shall then replace the base
with 8 inches of reinforced concrete pavement using high early strength
cement. The concrete shall have a 28 -day strength of 3,500 pounds per
square inch. Steel reinforcing shall consist of No. 6 rods placed on 12
inch centers both ways.
If the original payement is concrete, the concrete base
as set out above shall be constructed flush with the top of the existing
pavement which will require a total concrete thickness of 12 inches
rather than 8 inches as shown.
The finished grade of the driving surface shall be uniform
with the existing adjacent driving surface. A finished top grade tolerance
of plus or minus 1/4 inch will be allowed. The tolerance will be measured
by use of a 16 foot straight edge placed parallel to the roadway centerline.
The plans show repair detail as set out above.
The shoulders of the highway which have been disturbed shall
be backfilled with SB-2, thoroughly compacted, and the surface shall be
replaced to equal or better than the original condition.
It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the
Contractor to provide sufficient flagmen, signs, barricades, lights and
other items required to insure complete safety of the public and the work-
men at all times.
Since the return of the deposit required by the Arkansas
Highway Department (the cost of which will be borne by the Owner) depends
upon returning the roadbed to its original or better condition, the
Contractor will be required to complete this item of construction to the
satisfaction of the Highway Department.

such bids may be rejected.
2. LOCAL CONDITIONS:
Bidders shall read the Specifications, examine the Plans, and
make their own estimates of the existing facilities and the difficulties
which will attend the execution of the work called for by the proposed
Contract, including local conditions, uncertainty of weather, and all other
contingencies. Bidders shall satisfy themselves by personal examination of

Checks of unsuccessful bidders will be returned immediately after
a contract has been executed.
4. PROPOSALS:
(a) Proposals shall be strictly in accord with the prescribed
forms, furnished with the Specifications. Any modifications or deviations
therefrom may be considered sufficient cause for rejection.

Proposal is for the furnishing of all materials required to be furnished
and the doing of all work required under these Contract Documents, including
items for which no quantities are given, and the quantities given in the

for Variation of Quantities" required are for adjustment of the "Basic
Bid" by reason of variation of actual variable quantities from the quantities
given in the "List of Variable Quantities". In case unit prices are not
required, it is to be understood that the lump sum required in the Proposal
is for the furnishing of all materials required to be furnished and the
doing of all work required under these Contract Documents.

more than one Schedule is included in the work, but bidders submitting a
proposal for a "construction" Schedule must submit a proposal for any other
Schedule of work incident thereto, such as "Electrical" and "Plumbing".
t There a bidder bids on more than one Schedule and desires to accept the

authorized to bind the bidder.
(f) Proposals must be submitted complete, with all other Contract
Documents in their original binding as furnished by the Engineer. They
must be submitted at the place and on or before the time specified in the

bonds, labor bonds, employer's liability insurance, public liability
insurance, workmen's collective insurance, and property damage insurance
must be secured through resident agents of Arkansas.
7. CLARIFICATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS:

Engineer a written request for any interpretation thereof. The person
submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any
interpretation of the proposed Documents will be made only by an Addendum

Contracting Authority will not be responsible for any other explanations
or interpretations of the proposed Documents.

9. BASIS OF AWARD:
Bids will be considered on the basis of the total bid price or
prices given in the Proposal. In the event Unit Prices are required they
will not be considered except that evidence of serious unbalancing of the
Unit Prices shall be considered cause for rejection of bids.

case of more than one Schedule of Work) submitting the lowest and best bid
(or combination of bids), considering the Contractor's experience and
ability to do the work, and the character and quality of the equipment

determinations concerning the interpretation and performance of the Contract
Documents. The failure of any representative of the Contracting Authority
or of the Engineer to condemn or reject work or materials, or otherwise to
exercise any function entrusted to him, shall not excuse the Contractor

(10) days, cease and terminate. In the event of any such termination,
the Contracting Authority shall immediately serve notice thereof upon
the Surety and the Contractor, and the Surety shall have the right to
take over and perform the Contract, provided, however, that if the
Surety does not commence performance thereof within thirty (30) days
from the date of the mailing to such Surety of notice of termination,
the Contracting Authority may take over the work and prosecute the
same :to -completion by contract for the account and at the expense of
the Contractor, and the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the
Contracting Authority for any excess cost occasioned the Contracting
Authority thereby, and in such event the Contracting Authority may
take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such materials,
appliances, and plant as may be on the site of the work and necessary
therefor.
22. PAY!1ENTS WITHHELD:
The Contracting Authority may withhold or, on accout of
subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any
certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Contract-
ing Authority from loss on account of:

probable filing of claims,
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly
to Subcontractor or for material or labor,
(d) Damage to another Contractor,
(e) Incomplete work
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
23. DELAYS AND EXTEN:SION'S Or TIME:
If, at any time, the Contractor considers he is being delayed
by an act or neglect of the Contracting Authority or its employees, or
by any other Contractor employed by the Contracting Authority, or by any
changes or additions ordered in the work, or for any reason beyond his control,
23
n
0
Z
a
he shall within ten (10) days from the beginning of such delay notify the
Engineer in writing of the causes of any such delay. Extensions of time,
with relief from responsibility for liquidated damages incurred by the
Contracting Authority on account of such delay, will be granted the
Contractor, when, in the opinion of the Engineer, the causes so called to
his attention warrant such extensions of time. No claims for delay will
be considered unless such notice has been filed with the Engineer within
the time specified above.
The Contractor will be required to furnish the Engineer two copies
of each purchase order for materials and equipment as they are issued. If
the Contractor shall seek an extension of time because of delay in receiving
delivery of critical materials, such extension of time may be granted when,
in the opinion of the Engineer, the extension is warranted and the delay is
in no way caused by the Contractor's financial status or by any act or
failure to act on the part of the Contractor. Failure to get items of
material or equipment not essential to the completion of those portions of
the work, which, in the opinion of the Engineer requires supervision by an
Engineer, shall not be deemed justification for waiver of liquidated damages,
however, even though such delays are beyond the Contractor's control, and
even though such items of material or equipment may be essential to the
actual placing in operation of a portion of all of the project. When such
items of materials or equipment are delayed for reasons beyond the Contractor's
control, he shall complete all other work within the specified construction
period.
Extensions of time, without relief from responsibility for liqui-
dated damages incurred by the Contracting Authority on account of delays,
may be granted the Contractor on account of his failure to complete the work
within the time specified.
24. ADDITIONAL, OHITTED, OR CHANCED WORK:
The Contracting Authority, without invalidating the Contract may
order additional work to be done in connection with the Contract or may alter
or deduct from the work, the Contract sum to be adjusted accordingly.
Additional work shall be done as ordered in writing by the Engineer,
which order shall state the location, character, and amount of extra
work. All such work shall be executed under the conditions of the original
contract and subject to the same inspection and tests as though therein
included.
Compensation for additional, omitted, or changed work shall be
adjusted as follows:
Any changes in quantities of work for which unit prices are required
in the Proposal shall be at and for the price bid. Work for which prices
are not required shall be paid for or deducted, as the case may be, upon
the basis of an estimate prepared by the Contractor and approved by the
Engineer, prior to the written order changing the quantity of work.
If the Contractor claims compensation for additional work not
ordered as aforesaid, or for claims of damages sustained, he shall make
written statement of claims for compensation or damages to the Engineer,
24
n
0
Z
-3
which statement shall be in the hands of the Engineer within such time as
will allow a full consideration of the basis for such claim, and in no
case later than fifteen (15) days after the work has been completed or
damages sustained. The Contractor shall furnish, if required, any accounts,
bills, or vouchers relating thereto. Unless such claims are made as re-
ruired, they shall be considered forfeited and invalid.
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to contract with any
person or firm other than the Contractor for any or all extra work. The
Contractor's attention is especially called to the fact that he shall be
entitled to no claim for damages for anticipated profits on any portion of
the work to be omitted.
25. ARBITRATION:
(a) Demand for Arbitration. Any decision of the Engineer which
is subject to arbitration shall be submitted to arbitration upon the demand
of either party to the dispute.
The Contractor shall not cause a delay of the work because of the
pendency of arbitration proceedings, except with the written permission of
the Engineer, and then only until the arbitrators shall have any oppor-
tunity to determine whether or not the work shall continue until they decide
the matters in dispute.
The demand for arbitration shall be delivered in writing to the
Engineer and the adverse party, either personally or by registered mail to
the last known address of each, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the
Engineer's decision, and in no case after final payment has been accepted.
If the Engineer fails to make a decision within a reasonable time, a demand
for arbitration may be made as if his decision had been rendered against
the demanding party.
(b) Arbitrators. No one shall be nominated or act as an arbitra-
tor who is in any way financially interested in this Contract or in the
business affairs of the Contracting Authority, or the Contractor, or the
Engineer, or otherwise connected with any of them. Each Arbitrator shall
be a person in general familiar with the work or the problem involved in
the dispute submitted to arbitration.
Unless otherwise provided by controlling statutes, the parties may
agree upon one arbitrator; otherwise there shall be three, one named in
writing by each party to this Contract, to the other party, and the third
chosen by those two arbitrators.
If there be one arbitrator, his decision shall be binding; if
three, the decision of any two shall be binding in respect to both the
matter submitted to and the procedure followed during the arbitration.
Such decision shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action.
(c) Arbitration Procedure. The arbitrators shall deliver a
written notice to each of the parties and to the Engineer, either personally
or by registered mail to the last known address of each, of the time and
:lace for the beginning of the hearing of the matters submitted to then.
n
Each party may submit to the arbitrators such evidence and arguments as he
may desire and the arbitrators may consider pertinent. The arbitrators
shall, however, be the judges of all matters of law and fact relating to
both the subject matters of and the procedure during arbitration and shall
not be bound by technical rules of law or procedure. They may hear
evidence in whatever form they desire. The parties may be represented
before them by such persons as each may select, subject to the discipli-
nary power of the arbitrators if such representative shall interfere with
the orderly or speedy conduct of the proceedings.
Each party, and the Engineer, shall supply the arbitrators with
such papers and information as they demand, or with any witness whose move-
ments are subject to their respective control, and upon refusal or neglect
to comply with such demands, the arbitrator may render their decision
without the evidence which might have been solicited therefrom, and the
absence of such evidence shall afford no ground for challenge of the award
by the party refusing or neglecting to comply with such demand.
The submission to arbitration (the statement of the matters in
dispute between the parties to be passed upon by the arbitrators) shall be
writing duly acknowledged before a notary. Unless waived in writing by
both parties to the arbitration, the arbitrators, before hearing testimony,
shall be sworn by an officer authorized by law to administer an oath,
faithfully and fairly to hear and examine the matters in controversy and to
make a just award according to the best of their understanding.
The arbitrators, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized
to award to the party whose contention is sustained such sums as they
shall consider proper for the time, expense, and trouble incident to the
arbitration, and if the arbitration was demanded without reasonable cause,
damages for delay, and other losses.
The award of the arbitrators shall be in writing and acknowledged
like a deed to be recorded, and a duplicate shall be delivered personally
or by registered mail forthwith upon its rendition, to each of the parties
to the controversy and to the Engineer. Judgement may be rendered upon
the award by the Federal Court or by the highest State Court having juris-
diction to render same.
The award of the arbitrators shall not be open to objection on
account of the form of the oroceedinos or the award, unless otherwise
provided by the controlling statutes. In the event of such statutes pro-
viding on any matter covered by this Article otherwise than as herein -
before specified, the method of procedure throughout and the legal effect
of the award shall be wholly in accord with said statutes, it being the
intention hereby to lay down a principle of action to be followed, leaving
its local application to be adapted to the legal requirements of the
jurisdiction having authority over the arbitration.
The Engineer shall not be deemed a party to the dispute. He is
given the right to appear before the arbitrators to explain the basis of
his decision and give evidence as they may require.

whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is
identified on the plans or in the specifications by reference to
manufacturers' or vendors' names, trade names, catalogue numbers, etc.,
it is intended merely to establish a standard; and, any material,

equally acceptable provided the material, article, or equipment so proposed,
is, in the opinion of the Engineer, of equal substance and function. It
shall not be purchased or installed by the contractor without the Engineers'
written approval.
27. USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS:
The Contracting Authority shall have the right to take
possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions
of the work, notwithstanding that the time for completing the entire work
on such portions may not have expired; but such taking possession and use
shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work' not completed in accordance
with the Contract Documents. If such prior use of completed portions
increases the cost of, or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled
to such extra compensation or extension of time, or both, as the Engineer
may determine.
The Contracting Authority, in taking possession of completed
portions, shall agree to accept the decision of the Engineer, on matters
relating to responsibility for damages that may occur to any portion of
the work during the period of possession preceding acceptance and final
payment.
26. ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAy;T NT:
As soon as the work has been substantially and satisfactorily
completed, the Engineer will make a final estimate stating that the work
provided for under this Contract has been completed and is accepted by
him under the terms and conditions thereof, with qualifications, if any,
as stated. If certain parts of the work are not completed or if certain
corrections must be made in the work even though the work is substantially
completed, the Engineer is authorized to determine the amount which in his
opinion is required for completion and/or correction of the work, and such
amount may be withheld from the final payment to the Contractor, pending
the completion and correction as required. The balance found to be due the
Contractor shall be paid by the Contracting authority within forty (40)
days after the date of the final estimate. Prior to filing for final
estimates, the Contractor shall file with the Engineer a receipt in full
from each manufacturer, subcontractor, dealer and supplier for all equipment
and material used on the work and a complete release of all liens which may
have arisen from this Contract. In lieu thereof, the Contractor shall file
statements showing balance due or claimed on all accounts and the Contracting
Authority shall have the right, if it so elects, to withhold sufficient
money to nay such balances until receipts in full or satisfactory evidence
of final determination are filed with the E ..___ who ma: then make
the final estimate.

The making and acceptance of the final payment shall
constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contracting Authority, other than
those arising from incomplete or uncorrected work, unsettled liens, or
from faulty workmanship or materials, and of all claims by the Contractor,
except those previously made and still unsettled.
If the work has been partially but substantially completed
to the extent that all adjustments in the Contract sum may be made, the
Engineer may, if material delay in completion is anticipated or if
otherwise deemed in the interest of the work, make the final estimate,
retaining, in addition to other requirements which may be specified
under payments, an amount representing the cost of unfinished work.
Such payment shall be under the terms and conditions governing final
payment.
Neither the making of the final estimate, or final payment,
shall relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for faulty materials
or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects and pay for any damage
resulting therefrom which shall appear within a period of one (1) year
from the date of substantial completion. Th4' Owner shall give notice of
observed defects with reasonable promptness, and all questions arising
under this paragraph shall be decided by the Engineer.
29. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR:
The Engineer will on or about the Twentieth (20th) day of
each month make an estimate of the work done. As soon thereafter as
possible, and as soon as the Contractor has filed receipted bills showing
e has paid the previous month's bills, the Contractor will be paid
that .^. percent
seventy (70) percent of the value of work in place, plus ten (10)
for that portion of the work accepted for beneficial occupancy, plus (20)
percent of the value of work that has been properly cleaned up, plus
fifty (50) percent of the value of the materials on the job site but
not in place (figured from the Contractors paid invoices), minus amounts
previously paid. A final estimate will be made following the final
inspection as provided under paragraph 28, after which time and within a
period of forty (40) days, the Contractor will be paid the full amount of
the contract price, less amounts previously paid. Payment will be made
only for the actual quantities installed.
The Contracting Authority may withhold or, on account of sub-
sequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any certificates
to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Contracting Authority
from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied,
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of
claims,
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Sub-
contractor or for material or labor,
(d) Damage to another Contractor,
(e) I icomplCte .IOrk.
rel
when the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
30. SHOP AND ERECTION DRAWINGS:
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with triplicate
copies of all shop and erection drawings for approval. These drawings
shall include the drawings prepared on structural and reinforcing steel,
special layout drawings of equipment or machinery purchased under this
Contract, and other supplementary drawings required in the prosecution
of the work. One copy shall be returned to the Contractor and two
copies retained by the Engineer for field and office reference. The
approval of such drawings by the Engineer does not constitute an
acceptance of responsibility of their accuracy.
31. LABORATORY TESTS:
All material entering into the work is sub
of all such
jectto various
tests as may be required by the specifications. The
ctests shall be the responsibility of the Contractor furnishing such
material.
The Contractor shall also bear the cost of any tests arising
out of his desire to use materials which may be questionable in the
opinion of the Engineer.
32. DRINXING WATER AND SANITARY FACILITIES:
The Contractor shall provide safe drinking water for his
workmen during the construction period. The water shall
llbe delivered
through a spigot, angle jet fountain, or other approved device. r
mmon
drinking cups will be prohibited.
The Contractor shall furnish adequate sanitary facilities
for workmen in the work area during the construction period.
33. COSTRUCTION SAFETY:
Throughout these specifications, whenever engineering
decisions are to be made to ensure adequate construction in accordance
with the plans and specifications, such inspection and engineering
decisions are not to be construed as suerproviding ions ofedContractors'
place
work force, nor make the Engineer responsible the Contractor or the Contractors'
for the performance of the work by
employees or those of the suppliers, his subcontractors, nor for access,
l, or occupance by any person, as these responsi-
bi, use, work, traveprovisions of the contract, the
bilitities are covered under the
Contractors insurance and performance bond and cannot be the responsi-
bility of the Engineer.
The above provision does not prevent the Engineer or his
'o
n
O
z
personnel from requiring reasonable safety standards, if, in the
course of their technical supervision, it comes to the attention of
the Engineer that reasonable safety standards are not being carried
out.

than a distance equal to 1/10 of the nominal nine diameter or two inches,
whichever is the greater, above the scecific--d-i trench grade elevation.,
and the remainder of the excavation shall be done by the pipe laver
immediately prior to installing the pine, using the final excavation to
firm up on each side of the pipe previously laid. The bottom of the
trench shall be generally shaped to fit the outside surface of the pipe
in such a manner that the pipe will be in continuous contact with and
have a longitudinal bearing on soil for the full length of the pipe
except for such distance as it is necessary for bell holes and the proper
sealing of the pipe joints. The pipe subgrade shall be accurately
graded prior to excavating bell holes. The accuracy of the finished
grade of the pipe shall be obtained in preparation of the subgrade. A
bell hole for each joint shall be excavated by the pipe laver immediately
prior to placing the pipe in the trench. Bell holes shall be of such
depth that the pipe bell will not come in contact with the bottom of the
bell hole. All trenches shall be so graded that the spigot end of the
pine will be accurately centered in the adjacent pipe bell when laid,
without raising or lowering the pipe after installation in the trench.
If the soil at the bottom of the trench is mucky or in such
condition that it cannot be properly shaped and graded, or if the sub -
grade material is too soft to properly support the pine, the Contractor
shall excavate below the normal subgrade elevation as directed by the

II CROSSING AND PARALLELING EXISTING UTILITY LIMES:
_n some instances the pipe will be installed under, alongside and
over exis_ir.c utility services. Much of the time these will be difficult
to locate, in some instances impractical to locate. The Contractor
shall be responsible for locating and retectinc such services. The
37
O
various utility owners: City (Water and Sewer), Warner Cable (Cable),
S.reoco (Electrical Power Lines), Arkansas Western Gas Company (Natural
Gas Lines), Southwestern Bell (Telephone Company) will cooperate with
the contractor in helping locate the underground services, and must be
no__,fied before construction proceeds in the vicinity of utility lines.
Where the Contractor cannot make adecuate repairs, the various Lcilities
will make repairs to all services, and such costs will be charged to
the Contractor. The Contractor shall make arrangements for this service
with the varicus utilities either before the bid is presented or before
construction starts.
Although not anticipated, septic tank disposal fields and
related piping may be damaged during construction. If so, the Contractor
shall make the repairs necessary to put the septic tank system into
o: ration.
Where the plans show a portion of the line to be laid adjacent to
power lines, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to make any
arrangements with the power company for "tying off" poles. It also
shall be the r_ onsibility of the Contractor to take whatever steps are
necessary to provide for the safety of the workmen and equipment when
working in the •: icini tv of these power lines.

shown on the drawings . manhole bottoms shall be of concrete poured to
di:-.ensions and trade indicated.
1. Ease. The concrete base shall have a minimum thickness of 12
inches ar.d shall be poured on undisturbed earth. The base shall
be poured so that the top of the base is a minimum of 2 inches and
a maxim= of 4 inches below the lowest pipe inside the manhole.
except '...._., lowest pipe can be laid continuously through the man-
hole, the base may be poured to a point 2 inches below the center-
imne to pipe, providing this point is not above the invert of
other pines entering the manhole. The base shall have a minimum
diameter of 3 inches greater than the outside diameter of the
finished manhole barrel.
2.-nvert. Poe invert of the manhole shall be hand placed and shaped
using a trout mixture consisting of two parts masonry sand and one
--art Portland cement. The base and barrel of the manhole shall be
t:oorouchl cleaned orion to placement of the invert. The invert
shall be chained and smoothed so that the manhole will be self-
cleaninc and free of areas where solids ma.: be deposited as se::ag:
flows -. _.:_ _,......�anhole. In all oases, exec t where the sewer
pie can be

diameter of each pipe entering the manhole barrel shall be cut
smooth with the inside edge of the manhole barrel and the invert
shaped throughout from all inlet pipes to the outlet pipe.
3 :.anyone Barrel. The barrel forms may be set as soon as the con-
crete base has cured enough to support the forms. The manhole
barrel shall be of such construction that the finished manhole
•,;ill have an inside diameter of 4 feet 0 inches, plus or minus
one-half inch. Concrete used to pour the manhole barrelshall
ly
be 3,000 pound per square inch test with a slump of app
4 inches.
Before the forms are set in place, any water that may have
accumulated in the excavated area shall be pumped out and, if
required, the concrete base throughly cleaned of dirt and debris. f Before pouring of the concrete begins a two

;•'.anholes will be measured and paid for at the aonronriate contract
unit price as aiven in the Proposal. Unit Prices for manholes
shall include materials, excavation, masonry work, and all work
incidental thereto.
II -10 CONNECTION TO EXISTING MANHOLES:
,Were required on the Plans to connect to an existing manhole,
and where no stub exists in such manholes, an opening shall be cut in the
wall of the existing manhole of sufficient size to permit the proper
installation of the new pipe at the designated line and grade. After new
pipe has been installed, extending entirely through the wall of the manhole,
the opening around the new pipe shall be refilled with concrete, or brick and
concrete, and properly plastered inside and outside with mortar so that no
leakage can occur. Bottoms of existing manholes shall be trenched out and
refinished to the proper invert as previously specified.
The cost of all work done under this section shall be included
in the Contract unit price for pipe and shalt not be paid for separately.
IZ-ll CUTTING AND REPLACING SPECT_P?, SURFACES:
Whenever it becomes necessary in excavating for trench to disturb
special surfaces, such as _raved or travel streets, drives, walks or parking
areas, the original surface shall be restored after completion of the
backfill operation. In these instances, special care stall be used in making
the backfill to eliminate future settlement. The surface shall be restored
using the same type of surfacing materials that were used in the original
surfacing, except that asphalt streets and .,ichr:ays shall he replaced with
concrete as shown on the miscellaneous details sheet in the Plans.
Backfill of trench lying within roadways shall be in strict
accordance with the applicable provisicns as stated in ;._....ion II of these
Specifications. The condition of the backfill, with special regard to the decree
of compaction, shall be checked and approved by the Engineer before any
surfacing is _laced over the backfill.
The replacement of special surfacing shall follow as soon as
practical after the completion of the backfillinc operation so as to restore
the roadway to its original condition and traffic If in the opinion
of the Engineer the replacement of surfacing is lagging, he may, at his
discretion, suspend the pipe laying operation until the replacement of sur-
facing 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 groper 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 recuirement. The cuantity of asphalt and concrete
pavement cut nd remlacedwill be d?:•rm1nen b rh - :c ntal l•?ncth of

.cultiulied by a width of thirty-six (36) inches, excoot that where a width
greater than thirty-six (36) inches is recuired and authorized by the Engineer,
the actual width of pavement cut and replaced shall be used in detercu.ninq
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
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.
The Contractor will be responsible for maintaining flagmen
while working within or near city streets. bn the event a closed street
is recuired, the Contractor shall carefully mark a detour route. The
Contractor will be responsible for providing and maintaining barricades,
warning lights, signs, washing equipment, labor, and every other item re-
quired to maintain roadways safe and comfortable to travel and reduce the
inconvenience and discomfort of adjacent residents as much as possible.
It will also be the Contractor's responsibility to replace signs,
mailboxes, posts, retainer walls, and other obstructions which were removed
b:him during construction of this project.
Gravel surfacing cut and replaced will be measured and paid for
as the cubic yards of gravel actually used in replacing such surfacing.
Special surfacing cut and replaced will be paid for at the
appropriate contract unit price as given in the Proposal. Contract unit
prices shall be inclusive of materials, placement, and all work incidental
thereto.
II -12 CROSSING LAWNS:
The following shall apply to all lines crossing lawns, as desig-
nated on the Plans. After settlement has occurred, the disturbed area shall
be dressed out with three (3) inches of top soil and hand raked. The dressed
out areas shall then be seeded or sprigged with the appropriate grass or grass
mixture, as directed by the Engineer.
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 as they can be reset.
It is the intention of this Specification that lawn areas be
restored as closely as rossible to their original condition. The cost
of all nor): under this Section shall be included in the a_noronriate Contract
41

unit price for pipe, and shall not be paid for separately.
II -13 CROSSING FENCES:
The installation of lines may necessitate crossing several
fences as shown on the Plans.
Prior to clearing the right of way, the Contractor shall
install a braced post assembly on each side of the right of way so that
when the fence is cut, the tension on the fence is not reduced. He
shall then construct temporary gates so as to maintain livestock in the
original pasture during construction.
After all construction, including cleanup, is complete, the
fences shall be rebuilt to equal or better than original condition, using
new posts and wire. The wire used in rebuilding of the openings shall be
of the same general type as the existing fences. Posts shall be pressure -
treated pine, having a minimum top diameter of 4 inches.
Where removal, replacement, or repair, of chain link fences
is required, the Contractor shall retain a professional fence company
to perform the work. The cost of all work done under this Section ;ill be
included in the Contract unit prices and none will be paid for separately.
II -14 GARDEN CROSSINGS:
In the event of a garden crossing extrome care will be taken
to damage as little of the garden as is possible. After completion of
the pipe laying operation within the garden area the garden shall be dressed
with a minimum of 12 inches of topsoil and hand raked smooth.
II -13 CONCRETE:
All concrete shall be composed of the materials described
in paragraphs 5, 6, and 7, Part III, and shall be proportioned by weight
in such manner as to obtain a plastic workable mix. All concrete shall
have a 23 day compressive strength of -'•000 PSE and a slump of approximately_
4 inches.
In placing concrete, care shall be taken that the freshly
placed mass is so placed and vibrated that there is no tendency for the
coarse aggregate to segregate from the mortar.
All concrete shall be properly protected from too rapid
curing or from freezing while green.
The cost of all work in this section shall be included in the
unit contract price for Class concrete and shall not be paid for sepa-
rately.
O

II -16 CLEANING UP:
After the construction work is completed, all refuse and
debris resulting from the work shall be cleaned up and disposed of to
the satisfaction of the Engineer. All excess excavation, waste concrete,
pining, lumber, and other refuse shall be removed from the site of the
work and the site leveled, graded, and dressed up until it is neat,
smooth, and workmanlike.
It shall be specifically understood that the clean up
operation shall be maintained as closely as possible to the pipe laying
operation. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the clean up operation is
not being maintained satisfactorily, he may suspend the pipe laying
operation until such clean up is completed to his satisfaction.
The •cost of all work under this section shall be included
in the appropriate unit price and will not be paid for separately.
-11-17 HIGHWAY CROSSINGS (STATE OR U.S.):
The plans show the location of lines where crossings of
highway: s are required.
The crossings shall be accomplished by boring and the
insertion of an encasement pipe of the length, tyPe and size as shown at
each location on the plans. In the event rock conditions prohibit boring
of the road crossing, the Contractor shall contact hich•::av department
officials and point out to them that an attempt has been r.._d_ to bore the
crossing and secure permission to an open cut. Unless an open cut
is made, the trench shall not be opened closer than 10 feet from the edge
of the driving surface.
If an open cut is required, then the following procedure
shall be followed:
The highway must be kept open to traffic at all times.
Consec,cently, the Contractor will be required to complete the crossing
in two stages, keeping at least one-half cf the roadway open at all times.
The crossing shall be made in the following manner. The
pavement shall be removed the minimum width required for installation of
the encasing pipe. All pavement cuts shall be made to line with the use of an
air snade, line drilling, sawing or such other equipment as is required
to form a true line for removal and replacement.
The Contractor shall then excavate the trench, remove all
earth from the site and install the encasement nice. The backfill shall
then be made by using Arkansas State Highway Department SB-2 aggregate,
compacting to a minimum of 95P of maximum :.....S.H.O. density. Tests
shall .,e made according to the latest spctficatins of A.A.S.H.O. The
backfill shall be brought to the top of the suborad•u in the above manner.
O
z
a
The ravement and base shall then be removed for a distance of 18 inches
from each side of the trench. The Contractor shall then replace the base
with 2 inches of reinforced concrete pavement using high early strength
cement. The concrete shall have a 28 -day strength of 3,500 pounds per
square inch. Steel reinforcing shall consist of No. G rods placed on 12
inch centers both ways.
.If the original payement is concrete, the concrete base
as set out above shall be constructed flush with the top of the existing
pavement which will require a total concrete thickness of 12 inches
rather than 8 inches as shown.
The finished grade of the driving surface shall be uniform
wit'- the existing adjacent driving surface. A finished too grade tolerance
of plus or minus 1/4 inch will be allowed. The tolerance will be measured
by use of a 16 foot straight edge placed parallel to the roadway centerline.
The plans show repair detail as set cut above.
The shoulders of the highway which have been disturbed shall
be backfilled with SB-2, thoroughly compacted, and the surface shall be
replaced to equal or better than the original condition.
It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the
Contractor to provide sufficient flagmen, signs, barricades, lights and
items required to insure complete safety of the public and the work-
men at all times.
Since the return of the deposit required by the Arkansas
Highway Department (the cost of which will be borne by the Owner) depends
upon returning the roadbed to its original or better condition, the
Contractor will be required to complete this item of construction to the
sat- ;_`action of the Highway Department.
