procurement, etc.

Councilman Blount asked what the advantage would be to use this company.

Mr. Wiggins noted the information would be pulled from Incode, the city’s Finance platform,
and provide information to the public to promote transparency.

Councilman Blount asked why the city needs an outside company to provide information
and transparency, and do for the city what staff should provide to the public considering the
information comes from city staff and is submitted to this company.

Mr. Gardiner noted the city’s platform does not present the information in laymen’s terms
that would be easily understood and referenced cities currently using the platform to
include the City of Roswell.

Councilman Alexander noted all financial information is available to the public via an open
records request, and suggested that at the most, 2% of the citizens would request the
information and has not heard where this software would provide new information, but
rather the information that the city already has, and asked Mr. Percynski to provide

PUBLIC HEARING
5. Final Reading and Adoption - Public Hearing of the Proposed FY2023 Operating Budget
and Capital Improvement Plan
Presented by: Frederick Gardiner, John Wiggins
Mr. Gardiner presented an overview of the proposed FY2023 Operating Budget and Capital
Improvement Plan.

Councilman Blount referenced his request for the city’s Financial Advisor to attend the
meeting noting this is the first budget that is being balanced with Fund Balance and will rely
on the $1.9 mil county rollback; and not being transparent as to how the city will sustain the
increases.

Mayor Pro Tem Thomas noted the city is absorbing credit card fees of over $53,000 per
year and motioned to no longer absorb the fees; second by Councilman Alexander. The
motion failed 2-0-2 (Barber/Blount Abstained).

Mayor Pro Tem Thomas referenced the 2nd Budget Hearing where it was confirmed by the
City Manager that the newly proposed positions would not be funded in the 2023 Operating
Budget, and that the critical position of Economic Development Director is moving forward
and being funded.

Mr. Gardiner confirmed, noting his intent was for the candidate to be confirmed later during
the meeting.

Mayor Pro Tem noted historically, and traditionally, the Council receives the resume of any
Director nominated by the City Manager prior to Council confirmation.

Councilman Blount noted he did not need to see the resume and asked that the City
Manager be allowed to hire and build his team.

Councilwoman Barber asked if there are any mid-year budget review meetings scheduled
for 2023, noting there were no meetings provided in 2022 following requests; referenced
the budget retreat and the new format that did not include the governing body, and noted
that because of the lack of a budget review to know where the city is financially, she cannot
support approval of the budget; Councilwoman Barber referenced the ARPA report and
asked If the numbers were for FY22 or FY23.

Mr. Wiggins confirmed the report references FY2022.

Councilwoman Barber asked for a detailed report for ARPA funds spent by the Stockbridge
Police Department and the city’s Public Works Department and asked for clarification of
ARPA funds paid in the amount of $280,000.

3|Page
Mr. Wiggins confirmed the $280,000 was for the Employee Retention Incentive; and noted
the ARPA balance is $1.5 million with $1.167 restricted.

Mr. Gardiner noted the goal is to try to get the budget process started with the Retreat in
February 2023 to include the city’s Strategic Plan and priorities for FY23 Projects and have
a working document to present in August 2023.

Mayor Pro Tem Thomas requested that Council receive financial reports from the City
Manager on a monthly and quarterly basis; and cited Section 4.10 of the Charter whereas
the Council shall confirm all Directors, noting the Council should see the background
information of the Director for which they are being asked to confirm, stating the Council
must do their due diligence with respect to vetting candidates and confirmations of
department Directors.

Mr. Gardiner noted he was not aware of that process noting the Charter does not specify
that resumes be submitted to the governing body and would have the information forwarded
to the Council for review for confirmation of the Director at the December 20, 2022 meeting.

Councilman Blount referenced the Charter and noted areas that appear to be antiquated
and needs to be updated to 21st century best practices and noted councilmembers should
present their questions to staff in advance and behind closed doors.
Mayor Pro Tem Thomas noted the Council had not been made aware that a Director
position was being brought forward for confirmation by the City Manager until today.

Mr. Gardiner noted he plans to meet with the county to request additional tax funds based
on the passage of the annexation referendum and the approximately 7,000 new residents
as a result and hopes the county will comply with the request without legal recourse.

Mr. Gardiner noted he is working with GMA (Georgia Municipal Association to draft the
appropriate correspondence to submit to the county regarding L.O.S.T. (Local Option Sales
Tax) and the new city residents/former county residents where there is law that speaks to
an approximate 6% increase in population.

Councilman Blount noted there needs to be a financial analysis completed.

Presented by: John Wiggins
Mr. Wiggins noted the current deposit for water services to be connected requires is $150
for renters only; noted the Finance Dept is requesting authorization to increase the water
deposit to $200 which would put the city in line with the other sister cities in the county and
to change the language to include homeowners, property management companies and
investment companies.

Councilman Blount asked if the deposit increase is expected to cause a decrease in future
write-offs.

Mr. Wiggins noted a decrease due to the increase with more funding with the extra $50
with the other deposit such as the homeowners and property managers; noted all the other
sister cities implemented an increase three years ago.

Mr. Aaron noted the average water bill is approximately $61.20.

Mayor Pro Tem Thomas motioned to approve Water Deposit Change/Increase from $150
to $200: Second by Councilman Blount. The motion passed 3-0.

10. Water and Sewer Rate Increase Ordinance – Council Consideration to approve the
Ordinance for FY23 – FY27.
Presented by: Decius Aaron and Chad Peden (Carter & Sloope Engineer)
Mr. Aaron noted staff has looked at the water and sewer rate’s structure and has reviewed
the past audit and note GEFA (Georgia Environmental Finance Authority) requires the city
to maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio; noted the city has not met the

6|Page
requirement and with the loan with GEFA (Georgia Environmental Finance Authority) it
allows them to raise the rates to meet the debt service coverage ratio; noted Carter &
Sloope, city engineers has prepared a rate analysis study for the next 5 years to meet the
with GEFA (Georgia Environmental Finance Authority) requirements which is a debt
services ratio of 1.1%.

Mr. Peden noted the biggest challenge for the City of Stockbridge is that their cost
recovery (operating revenues divided by operating expenditures) has fallen below 1.0 in
recent years and in general, this ratio must be higher than 1.0 for a self-sustaining
enterprise; noted the City of Stockbridge operates under an “increasing block” rate
structure; noted this rate structure defines itself by charging higher rates per unit of water
and sewer as the volume of consumption increases; noted consumers face a lower rate up
to the first block of consumption and pay a higher price up to the limit of the second block,
and so on until the highest block of consumption; noted customers are billed the base
charge plus usage except for irrigation and hydrant meters and recommended residents
have a typical block structure which is described as the cost per 1,000 gallons from 0 to
10,000 is uniformed with whatever is used and if residents use more than 4,000 gallons,
the cost will go up.

Mayor Ford inquired if that would include a reduced rate based on quantity.

Mr. Peden noted it would not be a reduced rate, and would cover whatever expenses to
provide and produce water; noted three options were identified for with the goal of
maintaining a sustainable enterprise, Proportional Increase, Uniform Increase and Custom
Increase with recommending going forward with Custom Increase; noted Overall, the
average residential water and sewer bill (4,000 gallons) would increase from $61.28 per
month to $90.10 per month, equivalent to 1.85% of the median household income, which
is still below the 2.0 guideline recommended by USDA.

Councilman Blount motioned to approve Water and Sewer Rate Increase Ordinance for
FY23 – FY27: Second by Councilwoman Barber. The motion passed 3-0.

11. Council consideration to approve the renewal of the City of Stockbridge On-Call Sidewalk
Replacement and Repairs Contract with DAF Concrete, Inc. in the amount of 250,000.00.
The funding source is SPLOST V.
Presented by: Decius Aaron
Mr. Aaron noted the city had an assessment completed in 2018 of the streets with council
wanting to include sidewalks; noted the assessment is similar to the LMIG (Local
Maintenance and Improvement Grant) analysis, with DAF Concrete, Inc repairing over
11,100 linear ft. of sidewalks and used a rating system on how locations would be chosen
and spent $260,00 repairing and replacing sidewalks; noted work has been completed in
Monarch Village, Windsong and Summit View with the goal next year of obtaining the
same amount as LMIG (Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant) with a minimum of 5

7|Page
miles and a minimum of sidewalk replacement of at least 11,000 linear feet; noted staff
would like to be proactive to keep the city sidewalks safe.

Mayor Ford asked how the newly annexed streets would be incorporated into the city’s
LMIG Plan.

Mr. Aaron noted he is having conversations with the City Manager about the new
subdivisions coming into the city and assumes they will all have the same conditions with
roads and sidewalks and will gradually start working on them; noted staff has already
identified the location due to SPLOST being approved for specific areas with the new
areas staring in 2024 and have already identified the streets and sidewalks to be repaired;
noted after a new evaluation is completed, new areas will be added.

Councilwoman Barber noted the city awarded a LMIG contract for as a separate contract
and asked why this contract is needed.

Mr. Aaron noted GDOT (Georgia Department of Transportation) requires an annual list of
streets that would be resurfaced under the LMIG (Local Maintenance and Improvement
Grant) and noted the repair of damaged sidewalks in the city is beyond what the Public
Works staff can do.

Councilman Blount motioned to approve the renewal of the City of Stockbridge On-Call
Sidewalk Replacement and Repairs Contract with DAF Concrete, Inc., in the amount of
250,000.00: Second by Mayor Pro Tem Thomas. The motion passed 3-0.

Presented by: Kim Jordan, Frederick Gardiner

date, time, location and a brief description of the event.

to have lateral leeway to be able to adjust some dates where there may be a conflict:

Presented by: Quinton Washington
Mayor Ford inquired on the number of slots available for each board/committee.

Ms. Holiday noted a number of individuals would like to be re-appointed, however with the
new residents coming in, a number of applications have come in and was hoping Mayor
and Council would extend the deadline to allow for additional applications before making
appointing; noted staff has received applications for the Citizens Police Advisory Council
where the policy states the Mayor and Council shall appoint members as well as the Chief
of Police; noted there has been a number of applications received for District 2 and
inquired on who would make the appointment first, noting there needs to be more
clarification; noted citizens have been applying for more than one board/committee with
vacancies on a few boards; noted the Chief Trammer has advised the Citizens Police
Advisory Council will not appoint members until the latter part of the first quarter of 2023
and recommends delaying until there is clarity, noting it has also been requested that
anyone applying for the Citizens Police Advisory Council also apply for the Citizens Police
Academy and vice versa; and asked the Council to consider the Planning Commission
needs appointments to conduct business with a quorum.

Mayor Ford noted the Councilmember of the district would make the initial appointment to

ARTICLE 2—BID DOCUMENTS

2.01 Bidder shall obtain a complete set of Bid Requirements and proposed Contract Documents
(together, the Bid documents). See the Agreement for a list of the Contract Documents. It is
Bidder’s responsibility to determine that it is using a complete set of documents in the preparation
of a Bid. Bidder assumes sole responsibility for errors or misinterpretations resulting from the use
of incomplete documents by Bidder itself, or by its prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers.
2.02 Bid documents are made available for the sole purpose of obtaining Bids for completion of the
Project, and permission to download or distribution of the Bid documents does not confer a
license or grant permission or authorization for any other use. Authorization to download
documents, or other distribution, includes the right for plan holders to print documents solely for
their use, and the use of their prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers, provided the plan holder
pays all costs associated with printing or reproduction. Printed documents may not be re-sold

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
rely on that sets of Bid documents obtained from the Issuing Office are complete, unless an
omission is blatant. Registered plan holders will receive Addenda issued by Owner.
2.05 Plan rooms (including construction information subscription services, and electronic and virtual
plan rooms) that may distribute the Bid documents, or make them available for examination are
not associated with the Bid documents website. Those prospective bidders that obtain an
electronic (digital) copy of the Bid documents from a plan room must register as plan holders from

A. When the Bid Requirements indicate that electronic (digital) copies of the Bid documents are
available, such documents will be made available to the Bidders as Electronic Documents in
the manner specified.

readable by Adobe Acrobat Reader Version XI or later. It is the intent of the Engineer
and Owner that such Electronic Documents are to be exactly representative of the paper
copies of the documents. However, because the Owner and Engineer cannot totally
control the transmission and receipt of Electronic Documents nor the Contractor’s
means of reproduction of such documents, the Owner and Engineer cannot and do not
guarantee that Electronic Documents and reproductions prepared from those versions
are identical in every manner to the paper copies.
B. Unless otherwise stated in the Bid documents, the Bidder may use and rely upon complete

AGREEMENT
4.05 Liquidated Damages
A. Contractor and Owner recognize that time is of the essence as stated in Paragraph 4.01
above and that Owner will suffer financial and other losses if the Work is not completed
within the Contract Times, as duly modified. The parties also recognize the delays,
expense, and difficulties involved in proving, in a legal or arbitration proceeding, the
actual loss suffered by Owner if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly,
instead of requiring any such proof, Owner and Contractor agree that as liquidated

after the time (as duly adjusted pursuant to the Contract) specified above for
Substantial Completion, until the Work is substantially complete.

payment, Contractor shall pay Owner $500 for each day that expires after such time
until the Work is completed and ready for final payment.
4. Liquidated damages for failing to timely attain Substantial Completion, and final
completion are not additive, and will not be imposed concurrently.
B. If Owner recovers liquidated damages for a delay in completion by Contractor, then
such liquidated damages are Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delay, and
Owner is precluded from recovering any other damages, whether actual, direct, excess,
or consequential, for such delay, except for special damages (if any) specified in this
Agreement.

progress of the Work remain satisfactory to Owner and Engineer, there will
be no additional retainage; and
b. 90 percent of cost of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work
(with the balance being retainage).
B. Upon Substantial Completion, Owner shall pay an amount sufficient to increase total
payments to Contractor to 100 percent of the Work completed, less such amounts set
off by Owner pursuant to Paragraph 15.01.E of the General Conditions, and less 200
percent of Engineer’s estimate of the value of Work to be completed or corrected as
shown on the punch list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment.

SECTION 00610 - 2
PERFORMANCE BOND
1. The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction
Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference.
2. If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no
obligation under this Bond, except when applicable to participate in a conference as provided in
Paragraph 3.
3. If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety’s obligation under this Bond
will arise after:
3.1. The Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and the Surety that the Owner is considering
declaring a Contractor Default. Such notice may indicate whether the Owner is requesting a
conference among the Owner, Contractor, and Surety to discuss the Contractor’s performance.
If the Owner does not request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after
receipt of the Owner’s notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a
conference, the Owner shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference
requested under this Paragraph 3.1 will be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety’s
receipt of the Owner’s notice. If the Owner, the Contractor, and the Surety agree, the
Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such
an agreement does not waive the Owner’s right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor
Default;
3.2. The Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the
Surety; and
3.3. The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of
the Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction
Contract.
4. Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Paragraph 3.1 does not
constitute a failure to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety’s obligations, or release the
Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice.
5. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the
Surety’s expense take one of the following actions:
5.1. Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the
Construction Contract;
5.2. Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or
independent contractors;
5.3. Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to the Owner for a
contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract
to be prepared for execution by the Owner and a contractor selected with the Owners
concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified
surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the
amount of damages as described in Paragraph 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price
incurred by the Owner as a result of the Contractor Default; or
5.4. Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor,
and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances:

City of Stockbridge C & S Project No. S9100.043

SECTION 00610 - 3
PERFORMANCE BOND
5.4.1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and,
as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or
5.4.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial.
6. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety
shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice
from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and
the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as
provided in Paragraph 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment, or the Surety has denied liability, in
whole or in part, without further notice, the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available
to the Owner.
7. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, then the responsibilities of the Surety to
the Owner will not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the
responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety will not be greater than those of the Owner under the
Construction Contract. Subject to the commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract
Price, the Surety is obligated, without duplication for:
7.1. the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and completion of the
Construction Contract;
7.2. additional legal, design professional, and delay costs resulting from the Contractor’s Default,
and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 5; and
7.3. liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction Contract,
actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.
8. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.3, or 5.4, the Surety’s liability is limited to the amount
of this Bond.
9. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are
unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price will not be reduced or
set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action will accrue on this Bond to any
person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.
10. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction
Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders, and other obligations.
11. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond must be instituted in any court of competent
jurisdiction in the location in which the work or part of the work is located and must be instituted
within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor
ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under
this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the

SECTION 00615 - 2
PAYMENT BOND
1. The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and assigns to the Owner to pay for labor, materials, and equipment
furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by
reference, subject to the following terms.
2. If the Contractor promptly makes payment of all sums due to Claimants, and defends, indemnifies,
and holds harmless the Owner from claims, demands, liens, or suits by any person or entity seeking
payment for labor, materials, or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction
Contract, then the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond.
3. If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety’s obligation to the Owner
under this Bond will arise after the Owner has promptly notified the Contractor and the Surety (at the
address described in Paragraph 13) of claims, demands, liens, or suits against the Owner or the
Owner’s property by any person or entity seeking payment for labor, materials, or equipment
furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract, and tendered defense of such
claims, demands, liens, or suits to the Contractor and the Surety.
4. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions in Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the
Surety’s expense defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Owner against a duly tendered claim,
demand, lien, or suit.
5. The Surety’s obligations to a Claimant under this Bond will arise after the following:
5.1. Claimants who do not have a direct contract with the Contractor
5.1.1. have furnished a written notice of non-payment to the Contractor, stating with
substantial accuracy the amount claimed and the name of the party to whom the
materials were, or equipment was, furnished or supplied or for whom the labor was
done or performed, within ninety (90) days after having last performed labor or last
furnished materials or equipment included in the Claim; and
5.1.2. have sent a Claim to the Surety (at the address described in Paragraph 13).
5.2. Claimants who are employed by or have a direct contract with the Contractor have sent a Claim
to the Surety (at the address described in Paragraph 13).
6. If a notice of non-payment required by Paragraph 5.1.1 is given by the Owner to the Contractor, that
is sufficient to satisfy a Claimant’s obligation to furnish a written notice of non-payment under
Paragraph 5.1.1.
7. When a Claimant has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 5.1 or 5.2, whichever is applicable, the
Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense take the following actions:
7.1. Send an answer to the Claimant, with a copy to the Owner, within sixty (60) days after receipt
of the Claim, stating the amounts that are undisputed and the basis for challenging any amounts
that are disputed; and
7.2. Pay or arrange for payment of any undisputed amounts.
7.3. The Surety’s failure to discharge its obligations under Paragraph 7.1 or 7.2 will not be deemed
to constitute a waiver of defenses the Surety or Contractor may have or acquire as to a Claim,
except as to undisputed amounts for which the Surety and Claimant have reached agreement.
If, however, the Surety fails to discharge its obligations under Paragraph 7.1 or 7.2, the Surety
shall indemnify the Claimant for the reasonable attorney’s fees the Claimant incurs thereafter
to recover any sums found to be due and owing to the Claimant.

PAYMENT BOND
8. The Surety’s total obligation will not exceed the amount of this Bond, plus the amount of reasonable
attorney’s fees provided under Paragraph 7.3, and the amount of this Bond will be credited for any
payments made in good faith by the Surety.
9. Amounts owed by the Owner to the Contractor under the Construction Contract will be used for the
performance of the Construction Contract and to satisfy claims, if any, under any construction
performance bond. By the Contractor furnishing and the Owner accepting this Bond, they agree that
all funds earned by the Contractor in the performance of the Construction Contract are dedicated to
satisfying obligations of the Contractor and Surety under this Bond, subject to the Owner’s priority to
use the funds for the completion of the work.
10. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner, Claimants, or others for obligations of the Contractor that
are unrelated to the Construction Contract. The Owner shall not be liable for the payment of any costs
or expenses of any Claimant under this Bond, and shall have under this Bond no obligation to make
payments to or give notice on behalf of Claimants, or otherwise have any obligations to Claimants
under this Bond.
11. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction
Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders, and other obligations.
12. No suit or action will be commenced by a Claimant under this Bond other than in a court of competent
jurisdiction in the state in which the project that is the subject of the Construction Contract is located
or after the expiration of one year from the date (1) on which the Claimant sent a Claim to the Surety
pursuant to Paragraph 5.1.2 or 5.2, or (2) on which the last labor or service was performed by anyone
or the last materials or equipment were furnished by anyone under the Construction Contract,
whichever of (1) or (2) first occurs. If the provisions of this paragraph are void or prohibited by law,
the minimum period of limitation available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit will
be applicable.
13. Notice and Claims to the Surety, the Owner, or the Contractor must be mailed or delivered to the
address shown on the page on which their signature appears. Actual receipt of notice or Claims,
however accomplished, will be sufficient compliance as of the date received.
14. When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in the
location where the construction was to be performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said
statutory or legal requirement will be deemed deleted here from and provisions conforming to such
statutory or other legal requirement will be deemed incorporated herein. When so furnished, the
intent is that this Bond will be construed as a statutory bond and not as a common law bond.

Contractor and Owner shall promptly furnish a copy of this Bond or shall permit a copy to be made.

2.05 Acceptance of Schedules
A. At least 10 days before submission of the first Application for Payment a conference, attended
by Contractor, Engineer, and others as appropriate, will be held to review the schedules
submitted in accordance with Paragraph 2.03.A. No progress payment will be made to
Contractor until acceptable schedules are submitted to Engineer.
1. The Progress Schedule will be acceptable to Engineer if it provides an orderly progression
of the Work to completion within the Contract Times. Such acceptance will not impose
on Engineer responsibility for the Progress Schedule, for sequencing, scheduling, or
progress of the Work, nor interfere with or relieve Contractor from Contractor’s full
responsibility therefor.
2. Contractor’s Schedule of Submittals will be acceptable to Engineer if it provides a
workable arrangement for reviewing and processing the required submittals.
3. Contractor’s Schedule of Values will be acceptable to Engineer as to form and substance

written or oral.
E. Engineer will issue clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents as provided
herein.
F. Any provision or part of the Contract Documents held to be void or unenforceable under any

SECTION 00700 - 27
GENERAL CONDITIONS
A. Owner and Contractor shall obtain and maintain insurance as required in this article and in
the Supplementary Conditions.
B. All insurance required by the Contract to be purchased and maintained by Owner or
Contractor shall be obtained from insurance companies that are duly licensed or authorized
in the state or jurisdiction in which the Project is located to issue insurance policies for the
required limits and coverages. Unless a different standard is indicated in the Supplementary
Conditions, all companies that provide insurance policies required under this Contract shall
have an A.M. Best rating of A-VII or better.
C. Alternative forms of insurance coverage, including but not limited to self-insurance and
“Occupational Accident and Excess Employer’s Indemnity Policies,” are not sufficient to meet
the insurance requirements of this Contract, unless expressly allowed in the Supplementary
Conditions.
D. Contractor shall deliver to Owner, with copies to each additional insured identified in the
Contract, certificates of insurance and endorsements establishing that Contractor has
obtained and is maintaining the policies and coverages required by the Contract. Upon
request by Owner or any other insured, Contractor shall also furnish other evidence of such
required insurance, including but not limited to copies of policies, documentation of
applicable self-insured retentions (if allowed) and deductibles, full disclosure of all relevant
exclusions, and evidence of insurance required to be purchased and maintained by
Subcontractors or Suppliers. In any documentation furnished under this provision, Contractor,
Subcontractors, and Suppliers may block out (redact) (1) any confidential premium or pricing
information and (2) any wording specific to a project or jurisdiction other than those
applicable to this Contract.
E. Owner shall deliver to Contractor, with copies to each additional insured identified in the
Contract, certificates of insurance and endorsements establishing that Owner has obtained
and is maintaining the policies and coverages required of Owner by the Contract (if any). Upon
request by Contractor or any other insured, Owner shall also provide other evidence of such
required insurance (if any), including but not limited to copies of policies, documentation of
applicable self-insured retentions (if allowed) and deductibles, and full disclosure of all
relevant exclusions. In any documentation furnished under this provision, Owner may block
out (redact) (1) any confidential premium or pricing information and (2) any wording specific
to a project or jurisdiction other than those relevant to this Contract.
F. Failure of Owner or Contractor to demand such certificates or other evidence of the other
party’s full compliance with these insurance requirements, or failure of Owner or Contractor
to identify a deficiency in compliance from the evidence provided, will not be construed as a
waiver of the other party’s obligation to obtain and maintain such insurance.
G. In addition to the liability insurance required to be provided by Contractor, the Owner, at
Owner’s option, may purchase and maintain Owner’s own liability insurance. Owner’s liability
policies, if any, operate separately and independently from policies required to be provided
by Contractor, and Contractor cannot rely upon Owner’s liability policies for any of
Contractor’s obligations to the Owner, Engineer, or third parties.
H. Contractor shall require:
1. Subcontractors to purchase and maintain worker’s compensation, commercial general
liability, and other insurance that is appropriate for their participation in the Project, and
to name as additional insureds Owner and Engineer (and any other individuals or entities

policies) on each Subcontractor’s commercial general liability insurance policy; and
2. Suppliers to purchase and maintain insurance that is appropriate for their participation in
the Project.
I. If either party does not purchase or maintain the insurance required of such party by the
Contract, such party shall notify the other party in writing of such failure to purchase prior to
the start of the Work, or of such failure to maintain prior to any change in the required
coverage.
J. If Contractor has failed to obtain and maintain required insurance, Contractor’s entitlement
to enter or remain at the Site will end immediately, and Owner may impose an appropriate
set-off against payment for any associated costs (including but not limited to the cost of
purchasing necessary insurance coverage), and exercise Owner’s termination rights under
Article 16.
K. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if a party has failed to obtain required
insurance, the other party may elect (but is in no way obligated) to obtain equivalent
insurance to protect such other party’s interests at the expense of the party who was required
to provide such coverage, and the Contract Price will be adjusted accordingly.
L. Owner does not represent that insurance coverage and limits established in this Contract
necessarily will be adequate to protect Contractor or Contractor’s interests. Contractor is
responsible for determining whether such coverage and limits are adequate to protect its
interests, and for obtaining and maintaining any additional insurance that Contractor deems
necessary.
M. The insurance and insurance limits required herein will not be deemed as a limitation on
Contractor’s liability, or that of its Subcontractors or Suppliers, under the indemnities granted
to Owner and other individuals and entities in the Contract or otherwise.
N. All the policies of insurance required to be purchased and maintained under this Contract will
contain a provision or endorsement that the coverage afforded will not be canceled, or
renewal refused, until at least 10 days prior written notice has been given to the purchasing
policyholder. Within three days of receipt of any such written notice, the purchasing
policyholder shall provide a copy of the notice to each other insured and Engineer.

A. Builder’s Risk: Unless otherwise provided in the Supplementary Conditions, Contractor shall
purchase and maintain builder’s risk insurance upon the Work on a completed value basis, in
the amount of the Work’s full insurable replacement cost (subject to such deductible amounts
as may be provided in the Supplementary Conditions or required by Laws and Regulations).
The specific requirements applicable to the builder’s risk insurance are set forth in the
Supplementary Conditions.
B. Property Insurance for Facilities of Owner Where Work Will Occur: Owner is responsible for
obtaining and maintaining property insurance covering each existing structure, building, or
facility in which any part of the Work will occur, or to which any part of the Work will attach
or be adjoined. Such property insurance will be written on a special perils (all-risk) form, on a
replacement cost basis, providing coverage consistent with that required for the builder’s risk
insurance, and will be maintained until the Work is complete, as set forth in
Paragraph 15.06.D.
C. Property Insurance for Substantially Complete Facilities: Promptly after Substantial
Completion, and before actual occupancy or use of the substantially completed Work, Owner
will obtain property insurance for such substantially completed Work, and maintain such
property insurance at least until the Work is complete, as set forth in Paragraph 15.06.D. Such
property insurance will be written on a special perils (all-risk) form, on a replacement cost
basis, and provide coverage consistent with that required for the builder’s risk insurance. The
builder’s risk insurance may terminate upon written confirmation of Owner’s procurement of
such property insurance.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
D. Partial Occupancy or Use by Owner: If Owner will occupy or use a portion or portions of the
Work prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, as provided in Paragraph 15.04, then
Owner (directly, if it is the purchaser of the builder’s risk policy, or through Contractor) will
provide advance notice of such occupancy or use to the builder’s risk insurer, and obtain an
endorsement consenting to the continuation of coverage prior to commencing such partial
occupancy or use.
E. Insurance of Other Property; Additional Insurance: If the express insurance provisions of the
Contract do not require or address the insurance of a property item or interest, then the entity
or individual owning such property item will be responsible for insuring it. If Contractor elects
to obtain other special insurance to be included in or supplement the builder’s risk or property
insurance policies provided under this Paragraph 6.04, it may do so at Contractor’s expense.
6.05 Property Losses; Subrogation
A. The builder’s risk insurance policy purchased and maintained in accordance with
Paragraph 6.04 (or an installation floater policy if authorized by the Supplementary
Conditions), will contain provisions to the effect that in the event of payment of any loss or
damage the insurer will have no rights of recovery against any insureds thereunder, or against

of them, under such policies for losses and damages so caused.
2. None of the above waivers extends to the rights that any party making such waiver may
have to the proceeds of insurance held by Owner or Contractor as trustee or fiduciary, or
otherwise payable under any policy so issued.
B. Any property insurance policy maintained by Owner covering any loss, damage, or
consequential loss to Owner’s existing structures, buildings, or facilities in which any part of
the Work will occur, or to which any part of the Work will attach or adjoin; to adjacent
structures, buildings, or facilities of Owner; or to part or all of the completed or substantially

policies.
C. The waivers in this Paragraph 6.05 include the waiver of rights due to business interruption,
loss of use, or other consequential loss extending beyond direct physical loss or damage to
Owner’s property or the Work caused by, arising out of, or resulting from fire or other insured
peril, risk, or cause of loss.
D. Contractor shall be responsible for assuring that each Subcontract contains provisions
whereby the Subcontractor waives all rights against Owner, Contractor, all individuals or
entities identified in the Supplementary Conditions as insureds, the Engineer and its
consultants, and the officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, consultants,
and subcontractors of each and any of them, for all losses and damages caused by, arising out
of, relating to, or resulting from fire or other peril, risk, or cause of loss covered by builder’s
risk insurance, installation floater, and any other property insurance applicable to the Work.
6.06 Receipt and Application of Property Insurance Proceeds

insureds that adjustment and settlement of a claim is in progress. Any other insured may state
its position regarding a claim for insured loss in writing within 15 days after notice of such
claim.

required by Paragraph 6.04 shall maintain such proceeds in a segregated account, and
distribute such proceeds in accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may
reach, or as otherwise required under the dispute resolution provisions of this Contract or
applicable Laws and Regulations.
C. If no other special agreement is reached, Contractor shall repair or replace the damaged
Work, using allocated insurance proceeds.

procedures of construction.
B. If the Contract Documents note, or Contractor determines, that professional engineering or
other design services are needed to carry out Contractor’s responsibilities for construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures, or for Site safety, then Contractor
shall cause such services to be provided by a properly licensed design professional, at
Contractor’s expense. Such services are not Owner-delegated professional design services
under this Contract, and neither Owner nor Engineer has any responsibility with respect to
(1) Contractor’s determination of the need for such services, (2) the qualifications or licensing
of the design professionals retained or employed by Contractor, (3) the performance of such
services, or (4) any errors, omissions, or defects in such services.

7.05 “Or Equals”
A. Contractor’s Request; Governing Criteria: Whenever an item of equipment or material is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the names of one or more
proprietary items or specific Suppliers, the Contract Price has been based upon Contractor
furnishing such item as specified. The specification or description of such an item is intended
to establish the type, function, appearance, and quality required. Unless the specification or

GENERAL CONDITIONS
item is permitted, Contractor may request that Engineer authorize the use of other items of
equipment or material, or items from other proposed Suppliers, under the circumstances
described below.
1. If Engineer in its sole discretion determines that an item of equipment or material
proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that
no change in related Work will be required, Engineer will deem it an “or equal” item. For
the purposes of this paragraph, a proposed item of equipment or material will be
considered functionally equal to an item so named if:
a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment Engineer determines that the proposed item:
1) is at least equal in materials of construction, quality, durability, appearance,
strength, and design characteristics;
2) will reliably perform at least equally well the function and achieve the results
imposed by the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole;
3) has a proven record of performance and availability of responsive service; and
4) is not objectionable to Owner.
b. Contractor certifies that, if the proposed item is approved and incorporated into the
Work:
1) there will be no increase in cost to the Owner or increase in Contract Times; and
2) the item will conform substantially to the detailed requirements of the item
named in the Contract Documents.
B. Contractor’s Expense: Contractor shall provide all data in support of any proposed “or equal”
item at Contractor’s expense.
C. Engineer’s Evaluation and Determination: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to
evaluate each “or-equal” request. Engineer may require Contractor to furnish additional data
about the proposed “or-equal” item. Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No “or-
equal” item will be ordered, furnished, installed, or utilized until Engineer’s review is complete
and Engineer determines that the proposed item is an “or-equal,” which will be evidenced by
an approved Shop Drawing or other written communication. Engineer will advise Contractor
in writing of any negative determination.
D. Effect of Engineer’s Determination: Neither approval nor denial of an “or-equal” request will
result in any change in Contract Price. The Engineer’s denial of an “or-equal” request will be
final and binding, and may not be reversed through an appeal under any provision of the
Contract.
E. Treatment as a Substitution Request: If Engineer determines that an item of equipment or
material proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an “or-equal” item, Contractor may
request that Engineer consider the item a proposed substitute pursuant to Paragraph 7.06.
7.06 Substitutes
A. Contractor’s Request; Governing Criteria: Unless the specification or description of an item of
equipment or material required to be furnished under the Contract Documents contains or is
followed by words reading that no substitution is permitted, Contractor may request that
Engineer authorize the use of other items of equipment or material under the circumstances

GENERAL CONDITIONS
described below. To the extent possible such requests must be made before commencement
of related construction at the Site.
1. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as provided below to allow Engineer to
determine if the item of material or equipment proposed is functionally equivalent to that
named and an acceptable substitute therefor. Engineer will not accept requests for
review of proposed substitute items of equipment or material from anyone other than
Contractor.
2. The requirements for review by Engineer will be as set forth in Paragraph 7.06.B, as
supplemented by the Specifications, and as Engineer may decide is appropriate under the
circumstances.
3. Contractor shall make written application to Engineer for review of a proposed substitute
item of equipment or material that Contractor seeks to furnish or use. The application:
a. will certify that the proposed substitute item will:
1) perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the
general design;
2) be similar in substance to the item specified; and
3) be suited to the same use as the item specified.
b. will state:
1) the extent, if any, to which the use of the proposed substitute item will
necessitate a change in Contract Times;
2) whether use of the proposed substitute item in the Work will require a change in
any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract
with Owner for other work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed
substitute item; and
3) whether incorporation or use of the proposed substitute item in connection with
the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty.
c. will identify:
1) all variations of the proposed substitute item from the item specified; and
2) available engineering, sales, maintenance, repair, and replacement services.
d. will contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that will result directly or
indirectly from use of such substitute item, including but not limited to changes in
Contract Price, shared savings, costs of redesign, and claims of other contractors
affected by any resulting change.
B. Engineer’s Evaluation and Determination: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to
evaluate each substitute request, and to obtain comments and direction from Owner.
Engineer may require Contractor to furnish additional data about the proposed substitute
item. Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No substitute will be ordered, furnished,
installed, or utilized until Engineer’s review is complete and Engineer determines that the
proposed item is an acceptable substitute. Engineer’s determination will be evidenced by a
Field Order or a proposed Change Order accounting for the substitution itself and all related
impacts, including changes in Contract Price or Contract Times. Engineer will advise

Contractor in writing of any negative determination.
C. Special Guarantee: Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor’s expense a special
performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute.
D. Reimbursement of Engineer’s Cost: Engineer will record Engineer’s costs in evaluating a
substitute proposed or submitted by Contractor. Whether or not Engineer approves a
substitute so proposed or submitted by Contractor, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the
reasonable charges of Engineer for evaluating each such proposed substitute. Contractor shall
also reimburse Owner for the reasonable charges of Engineer for making changes in the
Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner) resulting
from the acceptance of each proposed substitute.
E. Contractor’s Expense: Contractor shall provide all data in support of any proposed substitute
at Contractor’s expense.
F. Effect of Engineer’s Determination: If Engineer approves the substitution request, Contractor
shall execute the proposed Change Order and proceed with the substitution. The Engineer’s
denial of a substitution request will be final and binding, and may not be reversed through an
appeal under any provision of the Contract. Contractor may challenge the scope of
reimbursement costs imposed under Paragraph 7.06.D, by timely submittal of a Change
Proposal.
7.07 Concerning Subcontractors and Suppliers
A. Contractor may retain Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of parts of the Work.
Such Subcontractors and Suppliers must be acceptable to Owner. The Contractor’s retention
of a Subcontractor or Supplier for the performance of parts of the Work will not relieve
Contractor’s obligation to Owner to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
B. Contractor shall retain specific Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of
designated parts of the Work if required by the Contract to do so.
C. Subsequent to the submittal of Contractor’s Proposal or final negotiation of the terms of the
Contract, Owner may not require Contractor to retain any Subcontractor or Supplier to furnish
or perform any of the Work against which Contractor has reasonable objection.
D. Prior to entry into any binding subcontract or purchase order, Contractor shall submit to
Owner the identity of the proposed Subcontractor or Supplier (unless Owner has already
deemed such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier acceptable during the bidding process or
otherwise). Such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed acceptable to Owner
unless Owner raises a substantive, reasonable objection within 5 days.
E. Owner may require the replacement of any Subcontractor or Supplier. Owner also may
require Contractor to retain specific replacements; provided, however, that Owner may not
require a replacement to which Contractor has a reasonable objection. If Contractor has
submitted the identity of certain Subcontractors or Suppliers for acceptance by Owner, and
Owner has accepted it (either in writing or by failing to make written objection thereto), then
Owner may subsequently revoke the acceptance of any such Subcontractor or Supplier so
identified solely on the basis of substantive, reasonable objection after due investigation.
Contractor shall submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected Subcontractor or
Supplier.

alter others' work with the written consent of Engineer and the others whose work will be
affected.
E. If the proper execution or results of any part of Contractor’s Work depends upon work
performed by others, Contractor shall inspect such other work and promptly report to
Engineer in writing any delays, defects, or deficiencies in such other work that render it
unavailable or unsuitable for the proper execution and results of Contractor’s Work.
Contractor’s failure to so report will constitute an acceptance of such other work as fit and
proper for integration with Contractor’s Work except for latent defects and deficiencies in
such other work.
F. The provisions of this article are not applicable to work that is performed by third-party
utilities or other third-party entities without a contract with Owner, or that is performed
without having been arranged by Owner. If such work occurs, then any related delay,
disruption, or interference incurred by Contractor is governed by the provisions of
Paragraph 4.05.C.3.
8.02 Coordination
A. If Owner intends to contract with others for the performance of other work at or adjacent to
the Site, to perform other work at or adjacent to the Site with Owner’s employees, or to
arrange to have utility owners perform work at or adjacent to the Site, the following will be

employees, any other contractor working for Owner, or any utility owner that Owner has
arranged to perform work, causes damage to the Work or to the property of Contractor or its
Subcontractors, or delays, disrupts, interferes with, or increases the scope or cost of the
performance of the Work, through actions or inaction, then Contractor shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Times. Contractor must submit any
Change Proposal seeking an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Times
under this paragraph within 30 days of the damaging, delaying, disrupting, or interfering
event. The entitlement to, and extent of, any such equitable adjustment will take into account
information (if any) regarding such other work that was provided to Contractor in the Contract
Documents prior to the submittal of the Proposal or the final negotiation of the terms of the
Contract, and any remedies available to Contractor under Laws or Regulations concerning
utility action or inaction. When applicable, any such equitable adjustment in Contract Price
will be conditioned on Contractor assigning to Owner all Contractor’s rights against such other
contractor or utility owner with respect to the damage, delay, disruption, or interference that
is the subject of the adjustment. Contractor’s entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract

interferes with the work of any such other contractor or utility owner, then Owner may
impose a set-off against payments due Contractor, and assign to such other contractor or
utility owner the Owner’s contractual rights against Contractor with respect to the breach
of the obligations set forth in this Paragraph 8.03.B.
2. When Owner is performing other work at or adjacent to the Site with Owner’s employees,
Contractor shall be liable to Owner for damage to such other work, and for the reasonable
direct delay, disruption, and interference costs incurred by Owner as a result of
Contractor’s failure to take reasonable and customary measures with respect to Owner’s
other work. In response to such damage, delay, disruption, or interference, Owner may
impose a set-off against payments due Contractor.
C. If Contractor damages, delays, disrupts, or interferes with the work of any other contractor,
or any utility owner performing other work at or adjacent to the Site, through Contractor’s
failure to take reasonable and customary measures to avoid such impacts, or if any claim

engineering or technical matters, must be supported by Engineer’s recommendation. Owner
and Contractor may amend other terms and conditions of the Contract without the
recommendation of the Engineer.
11.02 Change Orders
A. Owner and Contractor shall execute appropriate Change Orders covering:
1. Changes in Contract Price or Contract Times which are agreed to by the parties, including
any undisputed sum or amount of time for Work actually performed in accordance with
a Work Change Directive;
2. Changes in Contract Price resulting from an Owner set-off, unless Contractor has duly
contested such set-off;
3. Changes in the Work which are: (a) ordered by Owner pursuant to Paragraph 11.05,
(b) required because of Owner’s acceptance of defective Work under Paragraph 14.04 or
Owner’s correction of defective Work under Paragraph 14.07, or (c) agreed to by the
parties, subject to the need for Engineer’s recommendation if the change in the Work
involves the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise) or other
engineering or technical matters; and

resulting from allowances; Paragraph 13.03.D, final adjustments relating to
determination of quantities for Unit Price Work; and similar provisions.
B. If Owner or Contractor refuses to execute a Change Order that is required to be executed
under the terms of Paragraph 11.02.A, it will be deemed to be of full force and effect, as if
fully executed.
11.03 Work Change Directives
A. A Work Change Directive will not change the Contract Price or the Contract Times but is
evidence that the parties expect that the modification ordered or documented by a Work
Change Directive will be incorporated in a subsequently issued Change Order, following
negotiations by the parties as to the Work Change Directive’s effect, if any, on the Contract
Price and Contract Times; or, if negotiations are unsuccessful, by a determination under the
terms of the Contract Documents governing adjustments, expressly including
Paragraph 11.07 regarding change of Contract Price.
B. If Owner has issued a Work Change Directive and:

concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract
Documents. Such changes will be accomplished by a Field Order and will be binding on Owner
and also on Contractor, which shall perform the Work involved promptly.
B. If Contractor believes that a Field Order justifies an adjustment in the Contract Price or
Contract Times, then before proceeding with the Work at issue, Contractor shall submit a
Change Proposal as provided herein.
11.05 Owner-Authorized Changes in the Work
A. Without invalidating the Contract and without notice to any surety, Owner may, at any time
or from time to time, order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work. Changes involving
the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise) or other engineering or
technical matters will be supported by Engineer’s recommendation.
B. Such changes in the Work may be accomplished by a Change Order, if Owner and Contractor
have agreed as to the effect, if any, of the changes on Contract Times or Contract Price; or by
a Work Change Directive. Upon receipt of any such document, Contractor shall promptly
proceed with the Work involved; or, in the case of a deletion in the Work, promptly cease
construction activities with respect to such deleted Work. Added or revised Work must be
performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents.
C. Nothing in this Paragraph 11.05 obligates Contractor to undertake work that Contractor
reasonably concludes cannot be performed in a manner consistent with Contractor’s safety
obligations under the Contract Documents or Laws and Regulations.
11.06 Unauthorized Changes in the Work
A. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Times with respect to any work performed that is not required by the Contract
Documents, as amended, modified, or supplemented, except in the case of an emergency as
provided in Paragraph 7.15 or in the case of uncovering Work as provided in
Paragraph 14.05.C.2.
11.07 Change of Contract Price
A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order. Any Change Proposal for an
adjustment in the Contract Price must comply with the provisions of Paragraph 11.09. Any
Claim for an adjustment of Contract Price must comply with the provisions of Article 12.
B. An adjustment in the Contract Price will be determined as follows:
1. Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents,
then by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (subject to
the provisions of Paragraph 13.03);
2. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract
Documents, then by a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for
overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with Paragraph 11.07.C.2); or
3. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract
Documents and the parties do not reach mutual agreement to a lump sum, then on the
basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 13.01) plus a
Contractor’s fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.07.C).
C. Contractor’s Fee: When applicable, the Contractor’s fee for overhead and profit will be

GENERAL CONDITIONS
determined as follows:
1. A mutually acceptable fixed fee; or
2. If a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based on the following percentages of the
various portions of the Cost of the Work:
a. For costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.B.1 and 13.01.B.2, the Contractor’s fee will
be 15 percent;
b. For costs incurred under Paragraph 13.01.B.3, the Contractor’s fee will be 5 percent;
c. Where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a
fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraphs 11.07.C.2.a and
11.07.C.2.b is that the Contractor’s fee will be based on: (1) a fee of 15 percent of the
costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.B.1 and 13.01.B.2 by the Subcontractor that
actually performs the Work, at whatever tier, and (2) with respect to Contractor itself
and to any Subcontractors of a tier higher than that of the Subcontractor that actually
performs the Work, a fee of 5 percent of the amount (fee plus underlying costs
incurred) attributable to the next lower tier Subcontractor; provided, however, that
for any such subcontracted Work the maximum total fee to be paid by Owner will be
no greater than 27 percent of the costs incurred by the Subcontractor that actually
performs the Work;
d. No fee will be payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 13.01.B.4,
13.01.B.5, and 13.01.C;
e. The amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to Owner for any change which
results in a net decrease in Cost of the Work will be the amount of the actual net
decrease in Cost of the Work and a deduction of an additional amount equal to
5 percent of such actual net decrease in Cost of the Work; and
f. When both additions and credits are involved in any one change or Change Proposal,
the adjustment in Contractor’s fee will be computed by determining the sum of the
costs in each of the cost categories in Paragraph 13.01.B (specifically, payroll costs,
Paragraph 13.01.B.1; incorporated materials and equipment costs,
Paragraph 13.01.B.2; Subcontract costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.3; special consultants
costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.4; and other costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.5) and applying to
each such cost category sum the appropriate fee from Paragraphs 11.07.C.2.a
through 11.07.C.2.e, inclusive.
11.08 Change of Contract Times
A. The Contract Times may only be changed by a Change Order. Any Change Proposal for an
adjustment in the Contract Times must comply with the provisions of Paragraph 11.09. Any
Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Times must comply with the provisions of Article 12.
B. Delay, disruption, and interference in the Work, and any related changes in Contract Times,

other relief under the Contract. The Change Proposal will specify any proposed change in
Contract Times or Contract Price, or other proposed relief, and explain the reason for the
proposed change, with citations to any governing or applicable provisions of the Contract
Documents. Each Change Proposal will address only one issue, or a set of closely related
issues.
B. Change Proposal Procedures
1. Submittal: Contractor shall submit each Change Proposal to Engineer within 30 days after
the start of the event giving rise thereto, or after such initial decision.
2. Supporting Data: The Contractor shall submit supporting data, including the proposed
change in Contract Price or Contract Time (if any), to the Engineer and Owner within
15 days after the submittal of the Change Proposal.

data are accurate and complete, and that any requested time or price adjustment is the
entire adjustment to which Contractor believes it is entitled as a result of said event.
3. Engineer’s Initial Review: Engineer will advise Owner regarding the Change Proposal, and
consider any comments or response from Owner regarding the Change Proposal. If in its
discretion Engineer concludes that additional supporting data is needed before
conducting a full review and making a decision regarding the Change Proposal, then
Engineer may request that Contractor submit such additional supporting data by a date
specified by Engineer, prior to Engineer beginning its full review of the Change Proposal.
4. Engineer’s Full Review and Action on the Change Proposal: Upon receipt of Contractor’s
supporting data (including any additional data requested by Engineer), Engineer will
conduct a full review of each Change Proposal and, within 30 days after such receipt of
the Contractor’s supporting data, either approve the Change Proposal in whole, deny it in
whole, or approve it in part and deny it in part. Such actions must be in writing, with a
copy provided to Owner and Contractor. If Engineer does not take action on the Change
Proposal within 30 days, then either Owner or Contractor may at any time thereafter
submit a letter to the other party indicating that as a result of Engineer’s inaction the
Change Proposal is deemed denied, thereby commencing the time for appeal of the
denial under Article 12.
5. Binding Decision: Engineer’s decision is final and binding upon Owner and Contractor,
unless Owner or Contractor appeals the decision by filing a Claim under Article 12.
C. Resolution of Certain Change Proposals: If the Change Proposal does not involve the design
(as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), the acceptability of the Work, or
other engineering or technical matters, then Engineer will notify the parties in writing that
the Engineer is unable to resolve the Change Proposal. For purposes of further resolution of
such a Change Proposal, such notice will be deemed a denial, and Contractor may choose to
seek resolution under the terms of Article 12.

ARTICLE 13—COST OF THE WORK; ALLOWANCES; UNIT PRICE WORK

13.01 Cost of the Work
A. Purposes for Determination of Cost of the Work: The term Cost of the Work means the sum
of all costs necessary for the proper performance of the Work at issue, as further defined
below. The provisions of this Paragraph 13.01 are used for two distinct purposes:
1. To determine Cost of the Work when Cost of the Work is a component of the Contract
Price, under cost-plus-fee, time-and-materials, or other cost-based terms; or
2. When needed to determine the value of a Change Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off,
or other adjustment in Contract Price. When the value of any such adjustment is
determined on the basis of Cost of the Work, Contractor is entitled only to those
additional or incremental costs required because of the change in the Work or because
of the event giving rise to the adjustment.
B. Costs Included: Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by Owner, costs included in
the Cost of the Work will be in amounts no higher than those commonly incurred in the
locality of the Project, will not include any of the costs itemized in Paragraph 13.01.C, and will
include only the following items:
1. Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of Contractor in the performance of the
Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by Owner and Contractor in
advance of the subject Work. Such employees include, without limitation,
superintendents, foremen, safety managers, safety representatives, and other personnel
employed full time on the Work. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on

GENERAL CONDITIONS
the Work will be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the Work. Payroll costs
include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits, which
include social security contributions, unemployment, excise, and payroll taxes, workers’
compensation, health and retirement benefits, sick leave, and vacation and holiday pay
applicable thereto. The expenses of performing Work outside of regular working hours,
on Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays, will be included in the above to the extent
authorized by Owner.
2. Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including
costs of transportation and storage thereof, and Suppliers’ field services required in
connection therewith. All cash discounts accrue to Contractor unless Owner deposits
funds with Contractor with which to make payments, in which case the cash discounts
will accrue to Owner. All trade discounts, rebates, and refunds and returns from sale of
surplus materials and equipment will accrue to Owner, and Contractor shall make
provisions so that they may be obtained.
3. Payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors for Work performed by Subcontractors.
If required by Owner, Contractor shall obtain competitive proposals from subcontractors
acceptable to Owner and Contractor and shall deliver such proposals to Owner, which will
then determine, with the advice of Engineer, which proposals, if any, will be acceptable.
If any subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of the
Work plus a fee, the Subcontractor’s Cost of the Work and fee will be determined in the
same manner as Contractor’s Cost of the Work and fee as provided in this

GENERAL CONDITIONS
B. Cash Allowances: Contractor agrees that:
1. the cash allowances include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts)
of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and
all applicable taxes; and
2. Contractor’s costs for unloading and handling on the Site, labor, installation, overhead,
profit, and other expenses contemplated for the cash allowances have been included in
the Contract Price and not in the allowances, and no demand for additional payment for
any of the foregoing will be valid.
C. Owner’s Contingency Allowance: Contractor agrees that an Owner’s contingency allowance,
if any, is for the sole use of Owner to cover unanticipated costs.
D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by
Engineer to reflect actual amounts due Contractor for Work covered by allowances, and the
Contract Price will be correspondingly adjusted.
13.03 Unit Price Work
A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal
to the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the
estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement.
B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for
the purpose of comparison of Proposals and determining an initial Contract Price. Payments
to Contractor for Unit Price Work will be based on actual quantities.
C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate
to cover Contractor’s overhead and profit for each separately identified item.
D. Engineer will determine the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed
by Contractor. Engineer will review with Contractor the Engineer’s preliminary
determinations on such matters before rendering a written decision thereon (by
recommendation of an Application for Payment or otherwise). Engineer’s written decision
thereon will be final and binding (except as modified by Engineer to reflect changed factual
conditions or more accurate data) upon Owner and Contractor, and the final adjustment of
Contract Price will be set forth in a Change Order, subject to the provisions of the following
paragraph.
E. Adjustments in Unit Price
1. Contractor or Owner shall be entitled to an adjustment in the unit price with respect to
an item of Unit Price Work if:

SECTION 00700 - 61
GENERAL CONDITIONS
F. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered by
Contractor without written concurrence of Engineer, Contractor shall, if requested by
Engineer, uncover such Work for observation. Such uncovering will be at Contractor’s expense
unless Contractor had given Engineer timely notice of Contractor’s intention to cover the
same and Engineer had not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
14.03 Defective Work
A. Contractor’s Obligation: It is Contractor’s obligation to assure that the Work is not defective.
B. Engineer’s Authority: Engineer has the authority to determine whether Work is defective, and
to reject defective Work.
C. Notice of Defects: Prompt written notice of all defective Work of which Owner or Engineer
has actual knowledge will be given to Contractor.
D. Correction, or Removal and Replacement: Promptly after receipt of written notice of defective
Work, Contractor shall correct all such defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed,
or completed, or, if Engineer has rejected the defective Work, remove it from the Project and
replace it with Work that is not defective.
E. Preservation of Warranties: When correcting defective Work, Contractor shall take no action
that would void or otherwise impair Owner’s special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said
Work.
F. Costs and Damages: In addition to its correction, removal, and replacement obligations with
respect to defective Work, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages arising
out of or relating to defective Work, including but not limited to the cost of the inspection,
testing, correction, removal, replacement, or reconstruction of such defective Work, fines
levied against Owner by governmental authorities because the Work is defective, and the
costs of repair or replacement of work of others resulting from defective Work. Prior to final
payment, if Owner and Contractor are unable to agree as to the measure of such claims, costs,
losses, and damages resulting from defective Work, then Owner may impose a reasonable
set-off against payments due under Article 15.
14.04 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner
prefers to accept it, Owner may do so (subject, if such acceptance occurs prior to final
payment, to Engineer’s confirmation that such acceptance is in general accord with the design
intent and applicable engineering principles, and will not endanger public safety). Contractor
shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages attributable to Owner’s evaluation of and
determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as to
reasonableness), and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid
by Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, the necessary revisions
in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work will be incorporated in a Change Order.
If the parties are unable to agree as to the decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the
diminished value of Work so accepted, then Owner may impose a reasonable set-off against
payments due under Article 15. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after final
payment, Contractor shall pay an appropriate amount to Owner.
14.05 Uncovering Work
A. Engineer has the authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work, whether

GENERAL CONDITIONS
or not the Work is fabricated, installed, or completed.
B. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of Engineer, then Contractor shall, if
requested by Engineer, uncover such Work for Engineer’s observation, and then replace the
covering, all at Contractor’s expense.
C. If Engineer considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by Engineer or
inspected or tested by others, then Contractor, at Engineer’s request, shall uncover, expose,
or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or testing as Engineer may require,
that portion of the Work in question, and provide all necessary labor, material, and
equipment.
1. If it is found that the uncovered Work is defective, Contractor shall be responsible for all
claims, costs, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to such uncovering, exposure,
observation, inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction
(including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and
pending Contractor’s full discharge of this responsibility the Owner shall be entitled to
impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15.
2. If the uncovered Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an
increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, directly attributable
to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement, and
reconstruction. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, then
Contractor may submit a Change Proposal within 30 days of the determination that the
Work is not defective.
14.06 Owner May Stop the Work
A. If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable
materials or equipment, or fails to perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work
will conform to the Contract Documents, then Owner may order Contractor to stop the Work,
or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right
of Owner to stop the Work will not give rise to any duty on the part of Owner to exercise this
right for the benefit of Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or
entity, or any surety for, or employee or agent of any of them.
14.07 Owner May Correct Defective Work
A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Engineer to correct
defective Work, or to remove and replace defective Work as required by Engineer, then
Owner may, after 7 days’ written notice to Contractor, correct or remedy any such deficiency.
B. In exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07, Owner shall proceed
expeditiously. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, Owner may exclude
Contractor from all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend
Contractor’s services related thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and
equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored
elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner’s representatives, agents and employees,
Owner’s other contractors, and Engineer and Engineer’s consultants access to the Site to
enable Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph.
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred or sustained by Owner in exercising the rights
and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07 will be charged against Contractor as set-offs
against payments due under Article 15. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include

but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or
damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of Contractor’s defective Work.
D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times because of any delay in
the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by Owner of Owner’s rights and
remedies under this Paragraph 14.07.

ARTICLE 15—PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR; SET-OFFS; COMPLETION; CORRECTION PERIOD

15.01 Progress Payments
A. Basis for Progress Payments: The Schedule of Values established as provided in Article 2 will
serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application
for Payment acceptable to Engineer. Progress payments for Unit Price Work will be based on
the number of units completed during the pay period, as determined under the provisions of
Paragraph 13.03. Progress payments for cost-based Work will be based on Cost of the Work
completed by Contractor during the pay period.
B. Applications for Payments
1. At least 20 days before the date established in the Agreement for each progress payment
(but not more often than once a month), Contractor shall submit to Engineer for review
an Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work
completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting
documentation as is required by the Contract Documents.
2. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the
Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in
writing, the Application for Payment must also be accompanied by: (a) a bill of sale,
invoice, copies of subcontract or purchase order payments, or other documentation
establishing full payment by Contractor for the materials and equipment; (b) at Owner’s
request, documentation warranting that Owner has received the materials and
equipment free and clear of all Liens; and (c) evidence that the materials and equipment
are covered by appropriate property insurance, a warehouse bond, or other
arrangements to protect Owner’s interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to
Owner.
3. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application must include an
affidavit of Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received by Contractor
have been applied to discharge Contractor’s legitimate obligations associated with prior
Applications for Payment.
4. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the
Agreement.
C. Review of Applications
1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of each Application for Payment, including each
resubmittal, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the
Application to Owner, or return the Application to Contractor indicating in writing
Engineer’s reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, Contractor
may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application.
2. Engineer’s recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will

GENERAL CONDITIONS
constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer’s observations of
the executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional, and on Engineer’s
review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to
the best of Engineer’s knowledge, information and belief:
a. the Work has progressed to the point indicated;
b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion, the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents, a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work
under Paragraph 13.03, and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation);
and
c. the conditions precedent to Contractor’s being entitled to such payment appear to
have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer’s responsibility to observe the Work.
3. By recommending any such payment Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been
performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress,
or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically
assigned to Engineer in the Contract; or
b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle
Contractor to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle Owner to withhold payment to
Contractor.
4. Neither Engineer’s review of Contractor’s Work for the purposes of recommending
payments nor Engineer’s recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will
impose responsibility on Engineer:
a. to supervise, direct, or control the Work;
b. for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or
the safety precautions and programs incident thereto;
c. for Contractor’s failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to
Contractor’s performance of the Work;
d. to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used
the money paid by Owner; or
e. to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to
Owner free and clear of any Liens.
5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer’s
opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner stated in
Paragraph 15.01.C.2.
6. Engineer will recommend reductions in payment (set-offs) necessary in Engineer’s
opinion to protect Owner from loss because:
a. the Work is defective, requiring correction or replacement;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;

c. Owner has been required to correct defective Work in accordance with
Paragraph 14.07, or has accepted defective Work pursuant to Paragraph 14.04;
d. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental
Condition for which Contractor is responsible; or
e. Engineer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events that would
constitute a default by Contractor and therefore justify termination for cause under
the Contract Documents.
D. Payment Becomes Due
1. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment to Owner with Engineer’s
recommendation, the amount recommended (subject to any Owner set-offs) will become
due, and when due will be paid by Owner to Contractor.
E. Reductions in Payment by Owner
1. In addition to any reductions in payment (set-offs) recommended by Engineer, Owner is
entitled to impose a set-off against payment based on any of the following:
a. Claims have been made against Owner based on Contractor’s conduct in the
performance or furnishing of the Work, or Owner has incurred costs, losses, or
damages resulting from Contractor’s conduct in the performance or furnishing of the
Work, including but not limited to claims, costs, losses, or damages from workplace
injuries, adjacent property damage, non-compliance with Laws and Regulations, and
patent infringement;
b. Contractor has failed to take reasonable and customary measures to avoid damage,
delay, disruption, and interference with other work at or adjacent to the Site;
c. Contractor has failed to provide and maintain required bonds or insurance;
d. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental
Condition for which Contractor is responsible;

i. An event has occurred that would constitute a default by Contractor and therefore
justify a termination for cause;
j. Liquidated or other damages have accrued as a result of Contractor’s failure to
achieve Milestones, Substantial Completion, or final completion of the Work;
k. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has
delivered a specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the satisfaction and
discharge of such Liens; or
l. Other items entitle Owner to a set-off against the amount recommended.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
2. If Owner imposes any set-off against payment, whether based on its own knowledge or
on the written recommendations of Engineer, Owner will give Contractor immediate
written notice (with a copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and the
specific amount of the reduction, and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining
after deduction of the amount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the
amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, if
Contractor remedies the reasons for such action. The reduction imposed will be binding
on Contractor unless it duly submits a Change Proposal contesting the reduction.
3. Upon a subsequent determination that Owner’s refusal of payment was not justified, the
amount wrongfully withheld will be treated as an amount due as determined by
Paragraph 15.01.D.1 and subject to interest as provided in the Agreement.
15.02 Contractor’s Warranty of Title
A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment furnished
under the Contract will pass to Owner free and clear of (1) all Liens and other title defects,
and (2) all patent, licensing, copyright, or royalty obligations, no later than 7 days after the
time of payment by Owner.
15.03 Substantial Completion
A. 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 and request that
Engineer issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Contractor shall at the same time
submit to Owner and Engineer an initial draft of punch list items to be completed or corrected
before final payment.
B. Promptly after Contractor’s notification, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If Engineer does not consider
the Work substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in writing giving the reasons
therefor.
C. If Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will deliver to Owner a
preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion which will fix the date of Substantial
Completion. Engineer shall attach to the certificate a punch list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. Owner shall have 7 days after receipt of the preliminary
certificate during which to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions of the
certificate or attached punch list. If, after considering the objections to the provisions of the
preliminary certificate, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantially complete,
Engineer will, within 14 days after submission of the preliminary certificate to Owner, notify
Contractor in writing that the Work is not substantially complete, stating the reasons therefor.
If Owner does not object to the provisions of the certificate, or if despite consideration of
Owner’s objections Engineer concludes that the Work is substantially complete, then
Engineer will, within said 14 days, execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a final
certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised punch list of items to be completed or
corrected) reflecting such changes from the preliminary certificate as Engineer believes
justified after consideration of any objections from Owner.
D. At the time of receipt of the preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion, Owner and
Contractor will confer regarding Owner’s use or occupancy of the Work following Substantial
Completion, review the builder’s risk insurance policy with respect to the end of the builder’s
risk coverage, and confirm the transition to coverage of the Work under a permanent

property insurance policy held by Owner. Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise in
writing, Owner shall bear responsibility for security, operation, protection of the Work,
property insurance, maintenance, heat, and utilities upon Owner’s use or occupancy of the
Work.
E. After Substantial Completion the Contractor shall promptly begin work on the punch list of
items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. In appropriate cases Contractor
may submit monthly Applications for Payment for completed punch list items, following the
progress payment procedures set forth above.
F. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial
Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable access to remove its property and
complete or correct items on the punch list.
15.04 Partial Use or Occupancy
A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially
completed part of the Work which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents,
or which Owner, Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and
usable part of the Work that can be used by Owner for its intended purpose without
significant interference with Contractor’s performance of the remainder of the Work, subject
to the following conditions:
1. At any time, Owner may request in writing that Contractor permit Owner to use or occupy
any such part of the Work that Owner believes to be substantially complete. If and when
Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, Contractor,
Owner, and Engineer will follow the procedures of Paragraph 15.03.A through 15.03.E for
that part of the Work.
2. At any time, Contractor may notify Owner and Engineer in writing that Contractor
considers any such part of the Work substantially complete and request Engineer to issue
a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
3. Within a reasonable time after either such request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall
make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If
Engineer does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer
will notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor. If Engineer
considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of
Paragraph 15.03 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that
part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work may occur prior to
compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 6.04 regarding builder’s risk or other
property insurance.
15.05 Final Inspection
A. Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is
complete, Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with Owner and Contractor and will
notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work, or
agreed portion thereof, is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall immediately take such
measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.

SECTION 00700 - 68
GENERAL CONDITIONS
15.06 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment
1. After Contractor has, in the opinion of Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections
identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract
Documents, all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance, certificates of inspection, annotated record
documents (as provided in Paragraph 7.12), and other documents, Contractor may make
application for final payment.
2. The final Application for Payment must be accompanied (except as previously delivered)
by:
a. all documentation called for in the Contract Documents;
b. consent of the surety, if any, to final payment;
c. satisfactory evidence that all title issues have been resolved such that title to all Work,
materials, and equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens or other
title defects, or will so pass upon final payment.
d. a list of all duly pending Change Proposals and Claims; and
e. complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien
rights arising out of the Work, and of Liens filed in connection with the Work.
3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens specified in Paragraph 15.06.A.2 and as approved
by Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor
that: (a) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material, and equipment for
which a Lien could be filed; and (b) all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner might in any way be responsible,
or which might in any way result in liens or other burdens on Owner's property, have been
paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release
or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner
to indemnify Owner against any Lien, or Owner at its option may issue joint checks
payable to Contractor and specified Subcontractors and Suppliers.
B. Engineer’s Review of Final Application and Recommendation of Payment: If, on the basis of
Engineer’s observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and Engineer’s
review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by
the Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work has been completed and
Contractor’s other obligations under the Contract have been fulfilled, Engineer will, within 10
days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing Engineer’s
recommendation of final payment and present the final Application for Payment to Owner
for payment. Such recommendation will account for any set-offs against payment that are
necessary in Engineer’s opinion to protect Owner from loss for the reasons stated above with
respect to progress payments. Otherwise, Engineer will return the Application for Payment to
Contractor, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in
which case Contractor shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for
Payment.
C. Notice of Acceptability: In support of its recommendation of payment of the final Application
for Payment, Engineer will also give written notice to Owner and Contractor that the Work is

GENERAL CONDITIONS
acceptable, subject to stated limitations in the notice and to the provisions of
Paragraph 15.07.
D. Completion of Work: The Work is complete (subject to surviving obligations) when it is ready
for final payment as established by the Engineer’s written recommendation of final payment
and issuance of notice of the acceptability of the Work.
E. Final Payment Becomes Due: Upon receipt from Engineer of the final Application for Payment
and accompanying documentation, Owner shall set off against the amount recommended by
Engineer for final payment any further sum to which Owner is entitled, including but not
limited to set-offs for liquidated damages and set-offs allowed under the provisions of this
Contract with respect to progress payments. Owner shall pay the resulting balance due to
Contractor within 30 days of Owner’s receipt of the final Application for Payment from
Engineer.
15.07 Waiver of Claims
A. By making final payment, Owner waives its claim or right to liquidated damages or other
damages for late completion by Contractor, except as set forth in an outstanding Claim,
appeal under the provisions of Article 17, set-off, or express reservation of rights by Owner.
Owner reserves all other claims or rights after final payment.
B. The acceptance of final payment by Contractor will constitute a waiver by Contractor of all
claims and rights against Owner other than those pending matters that have been duly
submitted as a Claim, or appealed under the provisions of Article 17.
15.08 Correction Period
A. If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion (or such longer period of time as
may be prescribed by the Supplementary Conditions or the terms of any applicable special
guarantee required by the Contract Documents), Owner gives Contractor written notice that
any Work has been found to be defective, or that Contractor’s repair of any damages to the
Site or adjacent areas has been found to be defective, then after receipt of such notice of
defect Contractor shall promptly, without cost to Owner and in accordance with Owner’s
written instructions:
1. correct the defective repairs to the Site or such adjacent areas;
2. correct such defective Work;
3. remove the defective Work from the Project and replace it with Work that is not
defective, if the defective Work has been rejected by Owner, and
4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the
work of others, or to other land or areas resulting from the corrective measures.
B. Owner shall give any such notice of defect within 60 days of the discovery that such Work or
repairs is defective. If such notice is given within such 60 days but after the end of the
correction period, the notice will be deemed a notice of defective Work under
Paragraph 7.17.B.
C. If, after receipt of a notice of defect within 60 days and within the correction period,
Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of Owner’s written instructions, or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the
defective Work corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work removed and replaced.

SECTION 00700 - 70
GENERAL CONDITIONS
Contractor shall pay all costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration
or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such
removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of
work of others). Contractor’s failure to pay such costs, losses, and damages within 10 days of
invoice from Owner will be deemed the start of an event giving rise to a Claim under
Paragraph 12.01.B, such that any related Claim must be brought within 30 days of the failure
to pay.
D. In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service
before Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start
to run from an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications.
E. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected
or removed and replaced under this paragraph, the correction period hereunder with respect
to such Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or
removal and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
F. Contractor’s obligations under this paragraph are in addition to all other obligations and
warranties. The provisions of this paragraph are not to be construed as a substitute for, or a
waiver of, the provisions of any applicable statute of limitation or repose.

ARTICLE 16—SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION

16.01 Owner May Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, Owner may suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a
period of not more than 90 consecutive days by written notice to Contractor and Engineer.
Such notice will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work
on the date so fixed. Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price or an
extension of the Contract Times directly attributable to any such suspension. Any Change
Proposal seeking such adjustments must be submitted no later than 30 days after the date
fixed for resumption of Work.
16.02 Owner May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will constitute a default by
Contractor and justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor’s persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or
suitable materials or equipment, or failure to adhere to the Progress Schedule);
2. Failure of Contractor to perform or otherwise to comply with a material term of the
Contract Documents;
3. Contractor’s disregard of Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction; or
4. Contractor’s repeated disregard of the authority of Owner or Engineer.
B. If one or more of the events identified in Paragraph 16.02.A occurs, then after giving
Contractor (and any surety) 10 days’ written notice that Owner is considering a declaration
that Contractor is in default and termination of the Contract, Owner may proceed to:
1. declare Contractor to be in default, and give Contractor (and any surety) written notice
City of Stockbridge C & S Project No. S9100.043
Water Service Line Replacement October 2021
EJCDC C-700 Copyright © 2018 National Society of Professional Engineers. All rights reserved. Revision 0
SECTION 00700 - 71
GENERAL CONDITIONS
that the Contract is terminated; and
2. enforce the rights available to Owner under any applicable performance bond.
C. Subject to the terms and operation of any applicable performance bond, if Owner has
terminated the Contract for cause, Owner may exclude Contractor from the Site, take
possession of the Work, incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the
Site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and complete
the Work as Owner may deem expedient.
D. Owner may not proceed with termination of the Contract under Paragraph 16.02.B if
Contractor within 7 days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate begins to correct its failure
to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure.
E. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph 16.02.B, Contractor shall not be entitled to
receive any further payment until the Work is completed. If the unpaid balance of the
Contract Price exceeds the cost to complete the Work, including all related claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals) sustained by Owner, such excess will be paid to
Contractor. If the cost to complete the Work including such related claims, costs, losses, and
damages exceeds such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner. Such
claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed by Engineer as to their
reasonableness and, when so approved by Engineer, incorporated in a Change Order. When
exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph, Owner shall not be required to obtain
the lowest price for the Work performed.
F. Where Contractor’s services have been so terminated by Owner, the termination will not
affect any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then existing or which may
thereafter accrue, or any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor or any surety under
any payment bond or performance bond. Any retention or payment of money due Contractor
by Owner will not release Contractor from liability.
G. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions
of Paragraph 6.01.A, the provisions of that bond will govern over any inconsistent provisions
of Paragraphs 16.02.B and 16.02.D.
16.03 Owner May Terminate for Convenience
A. Upon 7 days’ written notice to Contractor and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and
without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner, terminate the Contract. In such
case, Contractor shall be paid for (without duplication of any items):
1. completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents
prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead
and profit on such Work;
2. expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and
furnishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such expenses; and
3. other reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination, including costs incurred
to prepare a termination for convenience cost proposal.
B. Contractor shall not be paid for any loss of anticipated profits or revenue, post-termination

SECTION 00700 - 72
GENERAL CONDITIONS
overhead costs, or other economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
16.04 Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate
A. If, through no act or fault of Contractor, (1) the Work is suspended for more than 90
consecutive days by Owner or under an order of court or other public authority, or (2)
Engineer fails to act on any Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or (3)
Owner fails for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, then
Contractor may, upon 7 days’ written notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided Owner or
Engineer do not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the contract
and recover from Owner payment on the same terms as provided in Paragraph 16.03.
B. In lieu of terminating the Contract and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if
Engineer has failed to act on an Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted,
or Owner has failed for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due,
Contractor may, 7 days after written notice to Owner and Engineer, stop the Work until
payment is made of all such amounts due Contractor, including interest thereon. The
provisions of this paragraph are not intended to preclude Contractor from submitting a
Change Proposal for an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for
expenses or damage directly attributable to Contractor’s stopping the Work as permitted by
this paragraph.

17.01 Methods and Procedures
A. Disputes Subject to Final Resolution: The following disputed matters are subject to final
resolution under the provisions of this article:

APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT

INSTRUCTIONS

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

This standard form is intended as a guide only. Many projects require a much more
extensive form with space for numerous items, descriptions of Change Orders,
identification of variable quantity adjustments, summary of materials and equipment
stored at the site and other information. It is expected that a separate form will be
developed by Engineer or Contractor at the time Contractor’s Schedule of Values is
finalized. Note also that the format for retainage must be changed if the Agreement
permits (or the Law provides), and Contractor elects, the deposit of securities in lieu of
retainage. Refer to Article 14 of the General Conditions for provisions concerning
payments of Contractor.

B. COMPLETING THE FORM

The Schedule of Values, submitted and approved as provided in paragraphs 2.05A and
2.07A of the General Conditions should be copied in the space indicated on the
Application For Payment form. Note that the cost of materials and equipment is often
listed separately from the cost of their installation. All Change Orders affecting the
Contract Price should be identified and include such supplemental Schedules of Values as
required for progress payments.

The form is suitable for use in the final Application for Payment as well as for Progress
Payments; however, the required accompanying documentation is usually more extensive
for final payment. All accompanying documentation should be identified in the space
provided on the form.

C. ENGINEER’S REVIEW

Engineer must review all Applications for Payment with care to avoid recommending any
payments not yet earned by Contractor. All accompanying documentation of legal
nature, such as lien waivers, should be reviewed by Owner’s attorney, and Engineer
should so advise Owner.

2.13 NOISE REQUIREMENTS

A. General

a. In an attempt to conform to the OSHA Standard of 90 dBA for a maximum 8
hour exposure per day within any working area, it has been established that
each piece of equipment must be limited as to its "free field" noise level.
Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the permissible "free field" noise level
for a complete piece of mechanical equipment which is to be located within
a structure shall not exceed 87 dBA at a distance of 3 feet from the
equipment. For the purposes of this Paragraph, "free field" shall be the noise
level measured when the equipment including the driver, driven equipment
and any intermediate couplings, gears and auxiliaries is operating. For a
complete piece of mechanical equipment located outside of a structure, the
maximum permissible noise level shall comply with the requirements of the
OSHA Standard Specifications.

b. Maximum permissible noise levels are in decibels as read on the "A"
weighting network of a standard sound level meter (dBA); all measurements
are made in relation to a reference pressure of .0002 microbar.
Measurements of emitted noise levels shall be made on a sound level meter
meeting at least the Type II requirements as set forth in ANSI S1.4
"Specification for General Purpose Sound Level Meters". The sound level
meter shall be set on the "A" scale and to slow response. Unless change in
the specific section relating to a particular piece of equipment, the point of
measurement of sound level shall be made at the specified distance from any
major surface along the entire perimeter and at mid-height of the piece of
equipment. If mid-height is not easily determinable, then line of
measurement shall be at a height level with the apparent noise source. To
assure accuracy, the sound level meter shall be acoustically calibrated with
an appropriate instrument, prior to test measurement.

B. Testing

a. The Contractor shall furnish for each piece of rotating/moving equipment
prior to shipment to the job site, a certified factory noise test report on the
actual equipment to be provided or an unconditional guarantee that the
equipment when operating under design conditions will not produce noise
exceeding the permissible levels specified.

b. Noise measurements shall be accomplished at the factory or at such other
location approved by the Engineer; in any event, these measurements shall
be accomplished prior to shipment of any equipment to the job site. The

City of Stockbridge C & S Project No. S9100.043
2021 Water Service Line Replacements August 2022
Revision 0
SECTION 01030-18
SPECIAL PROJECT PROVISION
measurements shall take place in a reverberant or semi-reverberant
condition, with equipment sitting on a hard reflective surface. Alternative
permitted conditions are those which duplicate the circumstances under
which the equipment will operate in this project.

c. Noise level measurements shall be taken or observed by an independent
acoustical laboratory or consultant retained and paid for by the Contractor.
Such independent acoustical laboratory or consultant shall be qualified by
experience in the acoustical field to take such measurement and shall be
responsible for conducting them in accordance with accepted procedures for
the measurement of sound. The selection of the laboratory or consultant
shall be acceptable to the Engineer. Such person responsible for the tests
shall certify the maximum noise levels emanating from the equipment, its
operating conditions, the environment in which tests were conducted, a list
of the acoustical instruments used, and the points at which the measurements
were made. The description shall be sufficiently detailed to permit the test to
be repeated, and it shall include a sketch of the item being measured which
shows the points of measurement and the point of maximum encountered
noise level on the measurement.

d. If the Contractor provides an unconditional guarantee, the Engineer may
request field tests for noise generation which shall be conducted at the
Contractor's expense by an independent acoustical laboratory or consultant
acceptable to the Engineer. In the event that the noise level is in excess of
the allowable limits, appropriate field noise reduction measures shall be
undertaken to reduce the noise to the allowable limits. If the noise level is
within the allowable limits the Owner will pay the Contractor for all
expenses incurred in conducting the test. All field noise reduction measures
shall be at the Contractor's expense and shall be acceptable to the Engineer
prior to installation. Rated capacities, operation and normal maintenance
procedures of the equipment shall not be affected by the noise reduction
measures. (Note: noise and vibration tests can be done by the same
Subcontractor if they are so qualified).

2.14 PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTROLYSIS

A. Where dissimilar metals are used in conjunction with each other, suitable insulation
as acceptable to the Engineer shall be provided between adjoining surfaces so as to
eliminate direct contact and any resultant electrolysis. The insulation shall be
bituminous impregnated felt, heavy bituminous coatings, nonmetallic separators or
washers, or other acceptable materials.

SECTION 01310-3
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
a preliminary schedule indicating planned operations during the first 60 days. Cost
of activities expected to be completed or partially completed before submission and
approval of the whole schedule shall be included.

B. Within 45 days after the effective date of the Agreement, a complete network
analysis system shall be submitted and shall consist of a detailed network,
mathematical analysis and network diagram. Three copies shall be provided.

1. The network diagram shall show the order and interdependence of activities
and the sequence in which the Work is to be accomplished as planned by the
Contractor. The basic concept of a network analysis diagram will be
followed to show how the start of a given activity is dependent on the
completion of preceding activities and its completion restricts the start of
following activities.

2. Detailed network activities shown on the network diagram shall include, in
addition to construction activities, the submittal for approval of samples and
shop drawings, the procurement of critical materials and equipment,
fabrication of special materials and equipment and their installation and
testing.

3. Related activities shall be grouped on the network. The activities on the
critical paths shall be highlighted. The network shall be time scaled using
units of approximately one-half inch equals one week or other suitable scale

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
m. Manpower required by trade and by total. Graphic representatives
will be allowed.

5. The mathematical analysis shall list the activities in sorts or groups as
follows:
a. By the preceding event number from lowest to highest and then in
the order of the following event number.
b. By the amount of slack, then in order of activity number.
c. By responsibility in order of earliest start date.

6. Initial submittal and complete revisions shall be submitted in three copies.

C. Review of the system shall be as follows:

1. The Contractor shall participate in a review and evaluation of the proposed
network diagrams and analysis by the Engineer within 14 days after receipt.
Any revisions necessary as a result of this review shall be resubmitted to the
Engineer within 10 days after the conference. Twenty days will be allowed
for checking and further action by the Engineer. Progress payments will be
withheld pending attainment of a mutually acceptable schedule. The
mutually acceptable schedule shall then be the schedule to be used by the
Contractor for planning, organizing, directing and executing the Work and
for reporting progress. If the Contractor thereafter desires to make changes in
his method of operating and scheduling he shall notify the Engineer in
writing stating the reasons for the change. If the Engineer considers these
changes to be of a major nature he may require the Contractor to revise and
submit, without additional cost to the Owner, all of the affected portion of
the network diagram and mathematical analysis to show the effect on the
entire project. A change may be considered of a major nature if the time
estimated to be required or actually used for an activity or the logic of
sequence of activities is varied from the original plan to a degree that there is
reasonable doubt as to the effect on the Contract completion date or dates.
Changes which affect activities with adequate slack time shall be considered
as minor changes, except that an accumulation of minor changes may be
considered as a major change when their cumulative effect might affect the
Contract completion date.

D. The Contractor shall submit at intervals of 30 days a report of the actual construction
progress by updating the mathematical analysis. All contract changes, including
pending and approved change orders and field orders shall be included in the
updated schedule. Revisions causing changes in the detailed network shall be noted
on the network or a revised issue of the affected portions of the detailed network
furnished. The network shall be revised as necessary for the sake of clarity.

E. The report shall show the activities of portions of activities completed during the

City of Stockbridge C & S Project No. S9100.043
2021 Water Service Line Replacements August 2022
Revision 0
SECTION 01310-5
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
reporting period and their total value as basis for the Contractor's periodic request for
payment. Coordinate with Schedule of Values specified in Section 01370. The report
shall state the percentage of the Work actually completed and schedule as of the
report date and the progress along the critical path in terms of days ahead or behind
the allowable dates. If the project is behind schedule, progress along other paths with
negative slack shall be reported. Percentage of work actually completed will be
reviewed by the Engineer in accordance with procedures set forth in the General
Conditions. If the Contractor fails to submit the required monthly reports and
updates within the time prescribed, the Engineer may withhold approval of progress
payment estimates until such time as the Contractor submits the required reports and
updates. Five (5) copies of the report shall be submitted for each update.

F. The Contractor shall simultaneously submit five (5) copies of a narrative report with
the updated analysis which shall include but not be limited to a description of the
problem areas, current and anticipated delaying factors, their impact, and an
explanation of corrective actions taken or proposed.

G. Extensions of time for performance required under the Contract Documents will be
granted only to the extent that equitable time and adjustments for the activity or
activities affected exceed the total float or slack along the channels involved.

1.4 DISTRIBUTION

A. Distribute copies of the reviewed schedules to:

1. Engineer (two copies).
2. Job site file.
3. Subcontractors.
4. Other concerned parties.

PART 2. PRODUCTS (Not Used)

PART 3. EXECUTION

3.1 RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHEDULE COMPLIANCE

A. The Contractor agrees that whenever it becomes apparent from the current monthly
CPM schedule and CPM Status Report that delays to the critical path have resulted,
and hence, that the contract completion date will not be met or when so directed by
the Engineer, he will take some or all of the following actions at no additional cost to

City of Stockbridge C & S Project No. S9100.043
2021 Water Service Line Replacements August 2022
Revision 0
SECTION 01310-6
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
the Owner, submitting to the Engineer for approval, a written statement of the steps
he intends to take to remove or arrest the delay to the critical path in the approved
schedule.

1. Increased construction manpower in such quantities and crafts as will
substantially eliminate, in the judgment of the Engineer, the backlog of
work.

2. Increase the number of working hours per shift, shifts per working days per
week, the amount of construction equipment, or any combination of the
foregoing, sufficiently to substantially eliminate, in the judgment of the
Engineer, the backlog of work.

3. Reschedule activities to achieve maximum practical concurrency of
accomplishment of activities, and comply with the revised schedule.

4. Costs incurred by the Owner arising from such lengthening of hours,
including furnishing of inspectors, shall be the Contractor's responsibility
and shall be deducted from monies due him. Failure of the Contractor to
comply with the requirements of the Engineer may be grounds for
determination by the Owner that the Contractor is not proceeding at such
rates as will insure completion within the specified time and may result in
the termination of the right of the Contractor to continue the work.

3.2 ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT SCHEDULE AND COMPLETION TIME

A. If the Contractor desires to make changes in his method of operating which affect
the approved CPM schedule, he shall notify the Engineer in writing stating what
CPM changes are proposed and the reason for the change. If the Engineer approves
these changes, the Contractor shall revise and submit for approval, without
additional cost to the Owner, all of the affected portion of the CPM network. The
CPM schedule shall be adjusted by the Contractor only after prior approval of his
proposed changes by the Engineer.

B. Adjustments may consist of changing portions of the activity sequence and/or
activity durations, division of approved activities, or other adjustments as may be
approved by the Engineer. The addition of extraneous, non-working activities
and/or activities which add unapproved restraints to the CPM schedule shall not be
approved.

C. If the completion of any activity, whether or not critical, falls more than 100 percent
behind its approved duration, the Contractor shall submit for approval a schedule
adjustment showing each such activity divided into two activities reflecting
completed versus uncompleted work.

City of Stockbridge C & S Project No. S9100.043
2021 Water Service Line Replacements August 2022
Revision 0
SECTION 01310-7
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
D. Shop drawings which are not approved on the first submittal or within the schedule
time shall be immediately rescheduled, as well as pipelines and tanks which do not
pass leak tests.

E. The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this
contract. In the event the Contractor requests an extension of any contract
completion date, he shall furnish such justification and supporting evidence as the
Engineer may deem necessary for a determination as to whether the Contractor is
entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of this contract. Engineer will,
after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence make findings of fact and
will advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the Engineer finds that the
Contractor is entitled to any extension of any contract completion date under the
provisions of this contract, the Engineer's determination as to the total number of
days extension shall be based upon the currently approved CPM schedule and on all
data relevant to the extension. Such data shall be included in the next monthly
updating of the schedule. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that actual
delays in activities which, according to the CPM schedule, do not affect any contract
completion date shown by the critical path in the network do not have any effect on
the contract completion date or dates, and therefore, will not be the basis for a
change therein.

F. From time to time it may be necessary for the contract schedule and/or completion
time to be adjusted by the Engineer to reflect the effects of job conditions, weather,
technical difficulties, strikes, unavoidable delays on the part of the Owner or his
representatives, and other unforeseeable conditions which may indicate schedule
adjustments and/or completion time extension. Under such conditions, the
Contractor shall reschedule the work and/or contract completion time to reflect the
changed conditions, and the Contractor shall revise his schedule accordingly. No
additional compensation shall be made to the Contractor for such schedule changes
except for unavoidable overall contract time extensions beyond the actual
completion of all unaffected work in the contract, in which case the Contractor shall
take all possible action to minimize any time extension and any additional cost to the
Owner. It is specifically pointed out that the use of available float time in the CPM
schedule may be used by the Owner as defined by the Engineer, as well as by the
Contractor. Float time is defined as the amount of time between the early start date,
and the late start date, or the early finish date and the late finish date, of any of the
activities in the schedule.

G. The Owner controls the float time in the approved CPM network and, therefore,
without obligation to extend either the overall completion date or any intermediate
completion dates set out in the CPM network, the Owner may initiate changes to the
contract work that absorb float time only. Owner-initiated changes that affect the
critical path on the approved CPM network shall be the sole grounds for extending
(or contracting) said completion dates. Contractor-initiated changes that encroach
on the float time identified in the approved CPM network may be accomplished with

City of Stockbridge C & S Project No. S9100.043
2021 Water Service Line Replacements August 2022
Revision 0
SECTION 01310-8
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
the owner's concurrence. Such changes, however, shall give way to Owner-initiated
changes competing for the same float time.

3.3 COORDINATING SCHEDULES WITH OTHER CONTRACT SCHEDULES

A. Where work is to be performed under this contract concurrently with and/or
contingent upon work performed on the same facilities or area under other contracts,
the Contractor's CPM schedule shall be coordinated with the schedules of the other
contracts. The Contractor shall obtain the schedules of the other appropriate
contracts from the Engineer for the preparation and updating of his CPM schedule
and shall make the required changes in his schedule when indicated by changes in
corresponding schedules."

layers shall be placed until the density of each layer has been approved.

F. If the Engineer determines, based on tests reports and inspections, that subgrades or
layers which have been placed are below the specified density, the Contractor shall
provide additional compaction and testing at no additional expense to the Owner.

1.5 PROTECTION

A. Sheeting and Bracing (see Section 02350)

1. Furnish, put in place, and maintain such sheeting and bracing as may be
required to support the sides of excavations, to prevent any movement which
could in any way diminish the ridge of the excavation below that necessary
for proper construction, and to protect adjacent structures from undermining
or other damage. If the Engineer is of the opinion that at any points
sufficient or proper supports have not been provided, he may order
additional supports put in at the expense of the Contractor, and compliance
with such order shall not relieve or release the Contractor from his
responsibility for the sufficiency of such supports. Care shall be taken to
prevent voids outside of the sheeting, but if voids are formed, they shall be
immediately filled and rammed. Where soil cannot be properly compacted
to fill a void, lean concrete shall be used as backfill at no additional expense
to the Owner. Sheeting and Bracing requirements are further defined in
OSHA Standards, Subpart P, Part 1926 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

2. The Contractor shall construct the sheeting outside the neat lines of the
foundation unless indicated otherwise to the extent he deems it desirable for
his method of operation. Sheeting shall be plumb and securely braced and
tied in position. Sheeting and bracing shall be adequate to withstand all
pressures to which the trench will be subjected. Any movement or bulging
which may occur shall be corrected by the Contractor at his own expense so
as to provide the necessary clearances and dimensions.

3. Where sheeting and bracing is required to support the sides of excavations,

Revision 0
SECTION 02315-4
EXCAVATION, TRENCHING, AND BACKFILL FOR UTILITY SYSTEMS
the Contractor shall engage a Professional Engineer, registered in the State
of Georgia, to design the sheeting and bracing. The sheeting and bracing
installed shall be in conformity with the design, and certification of this shall
be provided by the Professional Engineer.

4. The Contractor shall leave in place to be embedded in the backfill all
sheeting and bracing not shown on the Drawings but which the Engineer
may direct him in writing to leave in place at any time during the progress of
the work for the purpose of preventing injury to structures, utilities, or
property, whether public or private. The Engineer may direct that timber
used for sheeting and bracing be cut off at any specified elevation. The
contractor will be paid for such sheeting directed by the Engineer to be left in
place in accordance with the General Conditions. All timber sheeting to be
left in place shall be treated.

5. All sheeting and bracing not left in place shall be carefully removed in such
manner as not to disturb utilities, or property. All voids left or caused by
withdrawal of sheeting shall be immediately refilled with sand by ramming
with tools especially adapted to that purpose, or otherwise as acceptable to
Engineer and Owner.

6. The right of the Engineer to order sheeting and bracing left in place shall not
be construed as creating any obligation on his part to issue such orders, and
his failure to exercise his right to do so shall not relieve the Contractor from
liability for damages to persons or property occurring from or upon the work
on the part of the Contractor to leave in place sufficient sheeting and bracing
to prevent any caving or moving of the ground.

7. No sheeting is to be withdrawn if driven below mid-diameter of any pipe,
and under no circumstances shall any sheeting be cut off at a level lower
than 1 ft above the top of any pipe. The cost of said sheeting shall be part of
the base bid.

B. Dewatering and Drainage

1. The Contractor shall at all times during construction provide and maintain
proper equipment and facilities to remove all water entering excavations, and
shall keep such excavations dry so as to obtain a satisfactory undisturbed
sub-grade foundation condition until the fills, structures or pipes to be built
thereon have been completed to such extent that they will not be floated or
otherwise damaged by allowing water levels to return to natural levels. The
Contractor shall engage a Geotechnical Engineer, Registered in the State of
Georgia where required, to design the dewatering system. The Contractor
shall submit to the Engineer for review the design of the dewatering systems
prior to commencing work.

changes and/or replacements as necessary to provide a satisfactory
dewatering system.

5. Dewatering shall at all times be conducted in such a manner as to preserve
the undisturbed bearing capacity of the sub-grade soils at proposed bottom of
excavation. Well or sump installations shall be constructed with proper sand
filters to prevent drawing of finer grained soil from the surrounding ground.

6. Water entering the excavation from surface runoff shall be collected in
shallow ditches around the perimeter of the excavation, drained to sumps,
and pumped from the excavation to maintain a bottom free from standing
water.

7. The Contractor shall take all additional precautions to prevent uplift during
construction. The Contractor shall maintain the groundwater level below the
pipe, so flotation is prevented.

8. Drainage water shall be disposed of through a desilting basin which will
prevent the discharge of sediment into any surface waters or existing drains,
and to prevent flow or seepage back into the excavated area.

9. Flotation shall be prevented by the Contractor by maintaining a positive and
continuous operation of the dewatering system. The Contractor shall be
fully responsible and liable for all damages which may result from failure of

EXCAVATION, TRENCHING, AND BACKFILL FOR UTILITY SYSTEMS
C. Select Backfill: Select backfill material shall be placed below, around each side,
and over the top of the pipe in approximately horizontal layers not exceeding 6-
inches in thickness to a minimum height of 6-inches above the pipe crown or
greater as detailed herein and on the Drawings. This initial backfill shall be
placed immediately after the pipes are laid and joints have been observed by the
Engineer to anchor and protect the pipe from damage by subsequent backfill and
ensure the uniform distribution of the loads over the top of the pipe. Select
Material shall include Class I, II, III and other approved materials. If suitable
select materials are not available from trench excavation, the Contractor will be
required to obtain select materials elsewhere at no additional cost to the Owner.
The Contractor shall backfill both sides of the pipe simultaneously to prevent side
pressures and each layer shall be compacted thoroughly with mechanical tamping
equipment in such manner as not to damage the pipe, pipe joints or shift the pipe
alignment. Workmen shall not be permitted to walk over the pipe until at least 12
inches of compacted fill has been placed over the pipe. The Contractor shall not
use water to obtain compaction except for adding water to the backfill material
before placing in the trench to bring the moisture content to approximately
"optimum" for good compaction.

D. General Backfilling: After initial, select backfill material has been placed and
tamped, the remainder of the trench may be backfilled with general excavated
material, except that no rock, unless in small shattered fragments, will be
permitted to be mixed with other backfill material.

1. Backfilling under structures: Backfilling under structures consists of
placing sand and gravel or other select suitable materials excavated from
the trench in the trench in 6 inch thick layers from a point 12 inches above
the top of the pipe and mechanically tamped or compacted by rolling until
the backfill density after compaction is equal to 98 percent of the
maximum density obtainable at optimum moisture content as determined
by the Standard Proctor Test (ASTM D698). No water shall be used to
secure compaction except for adding water to the backfill material before
placing in the trench to bring moisture content approximately "optimum"
for good compaction. Each 6-inch-thick layer shall be mechanically
tamped before additional backfill material is placed in the excavated area.

2. Street and Road Right – of – Way, Parking Areas, Yards and Other
Traveled Areas: Backfill materials consists of placing sand and gravel or
other select suitable material excavated from the trench in uniform layers
not exceeding six inches (6”) in thickness, with each layer thoroughly
compacted with heavy duty mechanical tampers (“Whacker” or equal) to a
height of at least thirty six inches (36”) or forty-eight inches (48”) above
the top of the pipe barrel.

The remainder of the ditch may be backfilled and tamped in the same
manner or if the Contractor so elects, he may place backfill in layers not

exceeding twelve inches (12”) and use wheel loading or heavy duty
mechanical tamping equipment (“Hydra-Hammer” or equal). Pipe shall
have at least thirty-six inches (36”) of cover before wheel loading and at
least forty-eight inches (48”) of cover before using heavy duty tamping
equipment (“Hydra-Hammer” or equal). The density of the backfilled
material after compaction shall be equal to 95 percent of the maximum
density obtainable at optimum moisture content as determined by the
Standard Proctor Test (ASTM D698). Except in the upper 12 inches,
water shall be added to backfill material only before being placed in the
trench in order to bring the moisture content to approximately "optimum"
for good compaction.

3. Other Area: In other areas, including woodland, fields, pastures and areas
not open to vehicular travel, the remainder of the ditch may be backfilled
by placing fill in ditch and “walking-in” with wheel loaded equipment.
Backfill material may be windrowed and maintained in a suitable manner
so as to concentrate and pond rainfall runoff over the trench. After
sufficient settlement has been obtained, the Contractor shall complete
surface dressing, remove surplus material and clean up in accordance with
these Specifications. Wherever trenches have not been properly filled, or
if settlement occurs, they shall be refilled, smoothed off and finally made
to conform to the surface of the ground. Backfilling shall be carefully
performed, and the original surface restored as specified herein. Surplus
material shall be disposed of by the Contractor

3.9 PROTECTION OF WATER SUPPLY PIPES

A. Horizontal Separation: Sewers and force mains shall be laid at least 10 feet
horizontally from any existing or proposed watermain. The distance shall be
measured edge to edge. In cases where it is not practical to maintain a 10 foot
separation, such deviation may allow installation of the sewer or force main closer
to the watermain, provided that the watermain is in a separate trench or on a
undisturbed earth shelf located on the side of the sewer or force main and at an
elevation so the bottom of the watermain is at least 18 inches above the top of the
sewer or force main.

B. Crossings: Sewers and force mains crossing water mains shall be laid to provide
a minimum vertical distance of 18 inches between the outside of the watermain
and the outside of the sewer or force main. This shall be the case where the
watermain is either above or below the sewer or force main. The crossing shall be
arranged so that the sewer or force main joints will be equidistant and as far as
possible from the watermain joints. Where a watermain crosses under a sewer or
force main, adequate structural support shall be provided for the sewer or force
main to prevent damage to the watermain.

C. Special Conditions: When it is impossible to obtain proper horizontal and vertical

chlorine gas-water mixture, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite in
water, or chlorinated lime of known chlorine content in water and shall be
fed through a suitable solution feed device. Before the main is chlorinated, it
shall be filled to eliminate air pockets and flushed to remove particulates.
Potable water shall be supplied through a temporary connection that shall
include an appropriate cross-connection device for backflow prevention to
the active distribution system. The flushing velocity in the main shall not be
less than 2.5 ft/s. For mains 24-inches and larger, an acceptable alternative to
flushing is to broom sweep the main, carefully removing all sweeps prior to
chlorination. The chlorinating agent shall be applied at a point not more than
10 feet from the beginning point from which the main is being filled and
shall be injected at a constant measured rate into the new main through a
corporation cock tapped into the newly laid main. The water being used to
fill the line shall be controlled to flow into the section to be sterilized very
slowly and the rate of application of the chlorinating agent shall be in such
proportion to the rate of the water entering the pipe that the chlorine dose
applied to the water shall be at least 25 ppm. The chlorine treated water shall
be retained in the new main at least 24 hours and a 10 ppm of residual
chlorine shall remain after the 24-hour period. During the 24-hour period, all
valves and hydrants in the treated section shall be operated to ensure
disinfection of the appurtenances. Following chlorination all treated water
shall be flushed from the mains until replacement water shall have a chlorine
content of not more than 0.1 ppm in excess of the residual in water from the
supplying main and in any event not less than 0.2 ppm. Samples of the
water shall be taken from several points in the new lines and sent to the
Owner who will submit them to a State Approved lab for bacteriological
analysis. The Owner will pay for all costs associated with the first
bacteriological testing of each section of pipeline tested. Should the analysis
show contamination, the system shall be re-chlorinated and further samples
taken and submitted for analysis until no contamination is indicated. The
Contractor shall pay for all costs associated with re-chlorinating and re-

fertilizer. On steep slopes subject to slides and inaccessible to power equipment, the
slopes shall be adequately scarified. Fertilizer may be applied on steep slopes by
hydraulic thuds as a mixture of fertilizer and seed. When fertilizer is applied with
combination seed and fertilizer drills, no further incorporation will be necessary.
The fertilizer and seed shall be applied together when Wood Cellulose Fiber Mulch
is used. Any stones larger than 1-inch in any dimension, larger clod, roots, or other
debris brought to the surface shall be removed.

3.6 SEEDING

A. Seed shall be sown within 24 hours following the application of fertilizer and lime
and preparation of the seedbed as specified in Section 3.2 Seed shall be uniformly
sown at the rate specified by the use of acceptable mechanical seed drills. Rotary
hand seeders, power sprayers or other satisfactory equipment may be used on steep
slopes or on other areas that are inaccessible to seed drills.

B. The seed shall be covered and lightly compacted by means of cultipacker or light
roller if the drill does not perform this operation. On slopes inaccessible to
compaction equipment, the seed shall be covered by dragging spiked chains, by light
harrowing, or by other satisfactory methods.

C. Apply water with fine spray immediately after each area has been sown.

D. Do not sow seed when ground is too dry, during windy periods or immediately
following a rain.

E. If permitted by the special provisions, wood cellulose fiber mulch or excelsior fiber
mulch may be used.

3.7 SEED PROTECTION (STRAW MULCH)

A. All seeded areas seeded with permanent grasses shall be uniformly mulched in a
continuous blanket immediately following seeding and compacting operations, using
at least 2 tons of straw per acre.

3.8 SEED PROTECTION (EXCELSIOR MULCH)

A. Seed shall be sown as specified in Section 3.6. Within 24 hours after the covering of
seed, excelsior mulch shall be uniformly applied at the rate of 2 tons per acre. The
mulch may be applied hydraulically or by other acceptable methods. Should the
mulch be placed in a dry condition, it shall be thoroughly wetted immediately after
placing. The Engineer may require light rolling of the mulch to form a tight mat.

3.9 SEED PROTECTION (WOOD CELLULOSE FIBER MULCH)

A. After the lime has been applied and ground prepared as specified in Section 3.2,
wood cellulose fiber mulch shall be applied at the rate of 1,500 pounds per acre in a
mixture of seed and fertilizer. Hydraulic equipment shall be used for the application
of fertilizer, seed and slurry of the prepared wood pulp. This equipment shall have a
built-in agitation system with an operating capacity sufficient to agitate, suspend,
and homogeneously mix a slurry of the specified amount of fiber, fertilizer, seed and
water. The slurry distribution lines shall be equipped with a set of hydraulic spray
nozzles, which will provide an even distribution of the slurry on the various areas to
be seeded. The slurry tank shall have a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons.

B. The seed, fertilizer, wood pulp mulch, and water shall all be combined into the slurry
tank for distribution of all ingredients in one operation by the hydraulic seeding
method specified herein. The materials shall be combined in a manner
recommended by the manufacturer. The slurry mixture shall be so regulated that the
amounts and rates of application shall result in a uniform application of all materials
at rates not less than the amount specified. Using the color of the wood pulp as a
guide, the equipment operator shall spray the prepared seedbed with a uniform
visible coat. The slurry shall be applied in a sweeping motion, in an arched stream
so as to fall like rain, allowing the wood fibers to build upon each other until an even
coat is achieved.

3.10 PREPARATION FOR PLANTING LAWNS

A. Where lawns are to be planted, prepare soil for lawn planting as follows: Till in all
temporary vegetation to a depth of not less than 6 inches. Apply soil amendments
and initial fertilizers as specified. Remove high areas and fill in depressions. Till
soil to a homogenous mixture of fine texture, free of lumps, clods, stones, roots and
other extraneous matter.

1. Prior to preparation of planting areas, remove existing grass, vegetation

GRASSING
and turf. Do not turn existing vegetation over into soil being prepared for
lawns.

2. Apply specified commercial fertilizer at rates specified and thoroughly
mix into upper 2 inches of topsoil. Delay application of fertilizer if lawn
planting will not follow within a few days.

3.11 SODDING

A. Sod shall be placed between March 1 and December 1 to all existing sodded areas
that have been disturbed, where indicated on the Drawings, or if necessary, for slope
stabilization.

B. Sod shall be placed within 48 hours of cutting.

C. Sod shall be moist when laid and placed on moist ground. The sod shall be carefully
placed by hand, beginning at the toe of slopes and working upwards. The length of
the strips shall be at right angles to the flow of surface water. All joints shall be
tightly butted and end joints shall be staggered at least 12 inches. The sod shall be
immediately pressed firmly into the ground by tamping or rolling. Fill all joints
between strips with fine screened soil. Sod on slopes shall be pegged with sod pegs
to prevent movement. The sod shall be watered, mowed, weeded, repaired or
otherwise maintained, to insure the establishment of a uniform healthy stand of grass
until acceptance.

3.12 HYDROSEEDING

A. Installation procedures:

1. Inspection of conditions: Examine related work including irrigation and
grading of surface before proceeding with any work and notify the Engineer
in writing on conditions which may prevent the proper execution of this
work. Failure to report unsuitable conditions will require the contractor to
rectify unacceptable work at no additional cost to the Owner.

2. Water all plant areas thoroughly to saturate upper layers of soil prior to the
hydroseeding operation.

3. Allow the planting area soil surface to dry out for one day only prior to the
hydroseeding application. Exercise care not to allow the soil surface to be
overly saturated with water prior to the hydroseeding installation. At the
same time the soil surface should not become too dry during this period.
There should be some residual moisture within the first 1/4 inch of the soil
surface.

4. Prior to starting the hydroseeding operation notify the Engineer forty-eight

SECTION 02920-9
GRASSING
(48) hours in advance to be present at start of start of hydroseeding.

B. Hydroseeding Application:

1. Apply the hydroseeding in the form of a slurry consisting of organic soil
amendments, commercial fertilizer, and any other chemicals that are called
out. When hydraulically sprayed onto the soil, the mulch shall form a blotter-
like material. Direct the spray operation so that this procedure will drill and
mix the slurry components into the soil, the slurry spray will also penetrate
the soil surface, thus ensuring maximum impregnation and coverage. The
impregnation and mixing of the components will help in retaining moisture
while stabilizing soil surface from superficial erosion.

2. Do not let the hydroseeding slurry components in the hydroseeding machine
for more than two (2) hours because of possible seed destruction. If slurry
components are left for more than two hours in the machine, add 50% more
of the originally specified seed mix to any slurry mixture which has not been
applied within the two hours after mixing. Add 75% more of the original
seed mix to any slurry mixture which has not been applied eight (8) hours
after mixing. All mixtures more than eight (8) hours old, must be disposed,
off-site, at the Contractor’s expense.

3. Spray the area with a uniform visible coat, using the dark color of the
cellulose fiber as a visual guide. The slurry shall be applied in a downward
drilling motion via a fan stream nozzle. Insure that all of the slurry
components enter and mix with the soil. Insure the uniformity of the
hydroseed application. The hydraulic Contractor shall be approved by the
Engineer.

4. Exercise special care to prevent any of the slurry from being sprayed onto
any hardscape areas including concrete walks, fences, walls, buildings, etc.
Remove all slurry sprayed onto these surfaces at the Contractor's expense.

5. Contractor shall save all seed and fertilizer tags and fiber mulch bags for the
Engineer to verify compliance with the drawings and specifications.

6. The Engineer shall be present during the hydroseeding operation and has
final determination if conditions are acceptable for hydroseed application.

3.13 MAINTENANCE

A. Maintain seeded and sodded surfaces immediately after planting and until
Substantial Completion. If seeded and/or sodded grass is not fully established at the
time of Substantial Completion, continue maintenance until an acceptable stand of
grass is established and Final Stabilization occurs.

B. Maintenance shall consist of: providing protection against traffic; watering to ensure

GRASSING
uniform seed germination and to keep surface of soil damp; fertilizing; weeding;
mowing and trimming; rolling; re-grading; and repairing and replanting any areas
damaged as a result of construction operations or erosion so that a smooth
acceptable lawn free of eroded or bare areas is established.

C. If a poor stand of grass is present, re-seed as required to achieve Final Stabilization.
Replace sod as needed.

D. After grass has been established, mow as often as needed to maintain height between
4 and 6 inches until final acceptance. Do not delay mowing until grass blades bend
over and become matted. Do not mow grass when it is wet.

3.14 ACCEPTANCE

A. Before acceptance of the seeding performed for the establishment of permanent
vegetation, the Contractor will be required to produce a satisfactory stand of
perennial grass that covers at least 98% of the total areas with no bare spots
exceeding one (1) square foot so that it is fully stabilized against erosion and whose
root system shall be developed sufficiently to survive dry periods and the winter
weather and be capable of re-establishment in the spring.
