The OWNER shall furnish, as indicated in the Contract Documents, all required rights to use the lands upon which
the Work is to be performed, rights-of-way and easements for access thereto, and such other lands which are
designated for the use of the CONTRACTOR. The OWNER shall identify any encumbrances or restrictions not of
general application but specifically related to use of lands so furnished with which the CONTRACTOR will have to
comply in performing the Work. Easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing facilities will
be obtained and paid for by the OWNER, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. If the OWNER
fails to furnish these lands, rights-of-way or easements in a timely manner, the CONTRACTOR may make a Claim
for adjustments in the Contract Times. The CONTRACTOR shall provide for all additional lands and access thereto
that may be required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials and equipment.
4.2 Subsurface and Physical Conditions:
4.2.1 The CONTRACTOR hereby covenants that it has examined the site of the proposed Work and is familiar
with all of the conditions surrounding construction of the Project, having conducted all inquiries, tests and
investigations deemed necessary and proper. Unless the CONTRACTOR, prior to the execution of the Agreement,

00700 04-2020 Page 8 General Conditions
the performance of the Work by the CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR covenants that there are no conditions at the
site of the proposed work which would adversely impact the performance of Work by the CONTRACTOR.
4.2.2 If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical
conditions that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or(2) unknown physical conditions
of an unusual nature, that differ materially from those normally encountered in the type of work being performed
under this Contract, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions
are disturbed and in no event later than seven (7) calendar days after first observance of the conditions. Owner's
Representative will promptly investigate such conditions with E/A and, if they differ materially and cause an increase
or decrease in the CONTRACTOR's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, OWNER will
consider an equitable adjustment in the Contract Amount or Contract Time, or both. If Owner's Representative
determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents
and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the CONTRACTOR shall be notified in writing, stating
the reasons. Any disputes arising from Owner's Representative's determination shall be resolved in accordance
with Article 16.

or storage areas. The CONTRACTOR's obligation hereunder shall be primary and nondelegable. The
CONTRACTOR shall indemnify or reimburse the OWNER for such expenses or costs (including fines that may be
levied against the OWNER) that may result from unauthorized or accidental damage to all public lines and utility
customer service lines in the Work area. The OWNER reserves the right to repair such damage the CONTRACTOR
may cause, at the CONTRACTOR's expense.

Representative and the Texas Department of Antiquities Protection of their presence and shall not disturb them
until written permission and permit to do so is granted.All primitive rights and antiquities uncovered on the OWNER's
property shall remain property of the State of Texas, the Texas Department of Antiquities Protection conforming to
the Texas Natural Resources Code. If it is determined by the OWNER, in consultation with the Texas Department
of Antiquities Protection,that exploration or excavation of primitive records or antiquities on Project site is necessary
to avoid loss, the CONTRACTOR shall cooperate in salvage work attendant to preservation. If the Work stoppage
or salvage work causes an increase in the CONTRACTOR's cost of, or time required for, performance of the Work,
the Contract Amount and/or Contract Time may be equitably adjusted.
4.3 Reference Points:
Unless otherwise specified, the OWNER will furnish all reference points, benchmarks, survey monuments, and
control points which, in the OWNER's opinion, are suitable for laying out the Work. Such benchmarks and reference
points will be placed at intervals not to exceed 1,500 feet.

CONTRACTOR by use of flags, laths or other appropriate measures and, in case of destruction or removal by the
CONTRACTOR or its employees, such reference points, benchmarks, survey monuments, and control points shall
be replaced by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor at the CONTRACTOR's expense. When reference points,
benchmarks, survey monuments, or control points are in conflict with the Work, then reestablishment will be the
OWNER's responsibility during or upon completion of the Work.

cost of premiums on public liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, social security and
unemployment insurance, an amount equal to fifty-five percent (55%) of the wages paid personnel,
excluding the twenty-five(25%)compensation provided above, will be paid to the CONTRACTOR. The
actual cost of the CONTRACTOR's bond(s) on the extra Work will be paid based on invoices from
surety. No charge for superintendence will be made unless considered necessary and ordered by the
OWNER.
.2 The CONTRACTOR will receive the actual cost, including freight charges, of the materials used on
such Work, to which costs will be added a sum equal to twenty-five percent (25%) thereof as
compensation for the CONTRACTOR's and any affected Subcontractor's total overhead and profit. In
case material invoices indicate a discount may be taken, the actual cost will be the invoice price minus
the discount.
.3 For machinery, trucks, power tools, or other similar equipment agreed to be necessary by the OWNER
and the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER will allow the CONTRACTOR the rate as given in the latest
edition of the Associated General Contractors of America "Contractor's Equipment Cost Guide" as
published by Dataquest for each hour that said tools or equipment are in use on such work, which rate
includes the cost of fuel, lubricants and repairs. No additional compensation will be allowed on the
equipment for the CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit.
.4 The compensation, as herein provided for, shall be received by the CONTRACTOR and any affected
Subcontractor as payment in full for work done by Change Directive and will include use of small tools,
and total overhead expense and profit. The CONTRACTOR and the Owner's Representative shall
compare records of work done by Change Directive at the end of each day. Copies of these records
will be made upon forms provided for this purpose by the OWNER and signed by both Owner's
Representative and the CONTRACTOR, with one (1) copy being retained by the OWNER and one (1)
by the CONTRACTOR. Refusal by the CONTRACTOR to sign these records within two (2) working
days of presentation does not invalidate the accuracy of the record.
00700 04-2020 Page 29 General Conditions
11.6 Unit Price Work:
11.6.1 Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be unit price Work, initially the
Contract Amount will be deemed to include for all unit price work an amount equal to the sum of the established
unit price for each separately identified item of unit price work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated
in the Bid. The estimated quantities of items of unit price work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose
of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Amount. Determinations of the actual quantities and
classifications of unit price work performed by the CONTRACTOR will be made by Owner's Representative.
Owner's Representative will review with the CONTRACTOR the preliminary determinations on such matters before
rendering a written decision thereon (by recommendation of an Application for Payment or otherwise).
11.6.2 When "plan quantity" is indicated for a bid item, the CONTRACTOR shall be paid the amount specified in
the Contract Documents without any measurements.
11.6.3 Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by the CONTRACTOR to be adequate to
cover the CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each separately identified item.
11.6.4 A Major Item is any individual bid item in the Bid that has a total cost equal to or greater than five
percent (5%) of the original Contract Amount or $50,000, whichever is greater, computed on the basis of bid
quantities and Contract unit prices.
11.6.5 The OWNER or the CONTRACTOR may make a Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Amount in
accordance with Article 11 if:
.1 the actual quantity of any Major Item should become as much as twenty percent (20%) more than or
twenty percent(20%) less than in the Bid; or
.2 The CONTRACTOR presents proper documentation contesting the accuracy of "plan quantity," and
Owner's Representative verifies quantity and determines original quantity is in error by five percent
(5%)or more.
11.6.6 Right to Verify Information: The CONTRACTOR agrees that any designated representative of the OWNER
shall have the right to examine the CONTRACTOR's records to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of the
pricing data used to price change proposals. Even after a Change Order Proposal has been approved, the
CONTRACTOR agrees that if the OWNER later determines the cost and pricing data submitted was inaccurate,
incomplete, not current or not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement regarding pricing of change orders,
then an appropriate contract price reduction will be made.
11.6.7 Pricing Information Requirements: The CONTRACTOR agrees to provide and require all subcontractors
to provide a breakdown of allowable labor and labor burden cost information as outlined herein. This information
will be used to evaluate the potential cost of labor and labor burden related to change order work. It is intended
that this information represent an accurate estimate of the CONTRACTOR's actual labor and labor burden cost
components. This information is not intended to establish fixed billing or change order pricing labor rates. However,
at the time change orders are priced the submitted cost data for labor rates may be used to price change order
work. The accuracy of any such agreed-upon labor cost components used to price change orders will be subject
to later audit. Approved change order amounts may be adjusted later to correct the impact of inaccurate labor cost
components if the agreed-upon labor cost components are determined to be inaccurate.
ARTICLE 12 -CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES
12.1 Working Day and Calendar Day Contracts:
12.1.1 The Contract Times (or Milestones) shall only be changed by Change Order or Time Extension Request
duly executed by both the CONTRACTOR and Owner's Representative. Any claim for an adjustment of the
Contract Times(or Milestones)shall be made by Written Notice delivered by the party making the Claim to the other
00700 04-2020 Page 30 General Conditions
party promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days) after the start of the occurrence or event giving
rise to the delay and stating the general nature of the delay. Notice of the extent of the delay with supporting data
shall be delivered within thirty (30) calendar days after Written Notice of Claim is delivered by claimant, and shall
represent that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which claimant is entitled as a result of said
occurrence or event. If the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree, all Claims for adjustment in
the Contract Times (or Milestones) shall be determined as set out in Article 16. No Claim for an adjustment in the
Contract Times (or Milestones)will be valid if not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph.
12.1.2 When the CONTRACTOR is at fault and the OWNER stops the Work so that corrections in the Work can
be made by the CONTRACTOR, then no extension in time will be allowed.
12.1.3 When the CONTRACTOR is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or
Milestones) due to delay for which the CONTRACTOR is not responsible, an extension of the Contract Times (or
Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay will be considered by OWNER. Any extension of
the Contract Time shall be the CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay. However, adverse
weather shall not be considered justification for extension of Contract Times on Calendar Day contracts, except as
provided for in paragraph 12.2.
12.1.4 The OWNER will consider time extension requests and may grant the CONTRACTOR an extension of time
because of:
.1 Changes ordered in the Work which justify additional time.
.2 Failure of materials or products being at the Project site due to delays in transportation or failures of
Suppliers,for which the CONTRACTOR, a Subcontractor or a Supplier is not responsible. The request
for an extension of time shall be supported by a recitation of acts demonstrating that such delays were
beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR, a Subcontractor or a Supplier including but not limited to,
the CONTRACTOR's, the Subcontractor's or the Supplier's efforts to overcome such delays
documented as follows:
a) Copy of purchase order for delayed item(s) indicating date ordered by the
CONTRACTOR/Subcontractor and date purchase order received by Supplier.
b) If item(s) require Shop Drawings or other submittal information in accordance with the Contract
Documents, provide record of date submittal(s) forwarded to Owner's Representative, date
submittal(s) returned to the CONTRACTOR, and date submittal(s)forwarded to Supplier.
c) Copy of document(s) from Supplier, on Supplier's letterhead, indicating date(s) item(s) would be
ready for shipment and/or actual shipment date(s).
d) Copies of all correspondence between the CONTRACTOR/Subcontractor and Supplier indicating
the CONTRACTOR/ Subcontractor's efforts to expedite item(s).
e) If item(s) are being purchased by a Subcontractor, provision of meeting notes, correspondence,
and the like which reflect the CONTRACTOR's efforts with the Subcontractor to expedite delivery
of the item(s).
.3 When acts of the OWNER, E/A, utility owners or other contractors employed by the OWNER delay
progress of work through no fault of the CONTRACTOR.
.4 When the CONTRACTOR is delayed by strikes, lockouts, fires, losses from natural causes, or other
unavoidable cause or causes beyond the CONTRACTOR's control.
12.2 Calendar Day Contracts:
00700 04-2020 Page 31 General Conditions
Under a Calendar Day Contract, the CONTRACTOR may also be granted an extension of time because of unusual
inclement weather that is beyond the normal weather expected for the Williamson and Travis Counties, Texas area.
Normal weather which prevents the CONTRACTOR from performing Work is expected during a Calendar Day
Contract, and is not a justification for an extension of time. The following delineates the number of days per month
for which, for purposes of Calendar Day Contracts, expected normal weather will prevent performance of Work:
January.......................... 7 days
February........................ 7 days
March............................. 7 days
April............................... 7 days
May................................ 8 days
June................................ 6 days
July................................. 6 days
August........................... 5 days
September..................... 7 days
October.......................... 7 days
November..................... 7 days
December...................... 7 days
Days per month exceeding the number shown above may be credited as Rain Days if a Claim is made in accordance
with paragraph 12.1.1 and meets the following definition: a "Rain Day" is any day in which a weather event occurs
at the site and is sufficient to prevent the CONTRACTOR from performing units of Work critical to maintaining the
project schedule during the entire day.
ARTICLE 13-TESTS AND INSPECTIONS: AND CORRECTION OR REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE WORK
13.1 Notice of Defects:

00700 04-2020 Page 32 General Conditions
13.3.3 If laws or regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof)specifically to
be inspected, tested or approved by an employee or other representative of such public body, the CONTRACTOR
shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests or approvals, pay all costs in
connection therewith and furnish Owner's Representative the required certificates of inspection or approval. The
CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for arranging and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any
inspections, tests or approvals required for the OWNER's and E/A's review of materials or equipment to be
incorporated in the Work, or of materials, mix designs or equipment submitted for review prior to the
CONTRACTOR's purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work.
13.4 Uncovering Work:
13.4.1 If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered by the
CONTRACTOR without concurrence of Owner's Representative, or if any Work is covered contrary to the written
request of Owner's Representative, it must, if requested by Owner's Representative, be uncovered and recovered
at the CONTRACTOR's expense.
13.4.2 If Owner's Representative considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed, inspected

replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and
the OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Amount, and may make a Claim therefor
as provided in Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, the CONTRACTOR shall be allowed
an increase in the Contract Amount or an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones), or both, directly
attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement and reconstruction; and
the CONTRACTOR may make a Claim therefor as provided in Article 11 and Article 12.
13.5 OWNER May Stop the Work:
13.5.1 If the Work is defective, or the CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials
or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the
Contract Documents, the OWNER may order the CONTRACTOR to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the
cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of the OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to
any duty on the part of the OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of the CONTRACTOR or any surety or other
party.
13.5.2 If the CONTRACTOR fails to correct defective Work or submit a satisfactory plan to take corrective action,
with procedure and time schedule, the OWNER may order the CONTRACTOR to stop the Work, or any portion
thereof, until cause for such order has been eliminated,or take any other action permitted by this Contract. A notice
to stop the Work, based on defects, shall not stop calendar or working days charged to the Project.
00700 04-2020 Page 33 General Conditions
13.6 Correction or Removal of Defective Work:
If required by the OWNER,the CONTRACTOR shall promptly,as directed, either correct all defective Work,whether
or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by Owner's Representative, remove it

defective Work, or submit a plan of action detailing how the deficiency will be corrected, within the time frame
identified in the notice of defective Work. The CONTRACTOR shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages
caused by or resulting from such correction or removal (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement
of work of others), including but not limited to all consultant, engineering, expert and attorney's fees incurred by the
OWNER as a result of such defective work or as necessary for OWNER to investigate such defective Work and/or
to determine the appropriate means or methods to address or correct such defective Work. The OWNER shall
have the right, in OWNER's sole discretion, to have the E/A or other consultant specify the means and methods
that will be followed to correct or address any defective Work. If the OWNER specifies a means or method by which
the defective Work will be addressed or corrected, the CONTRACTOR shall perform the specified work necessary
to address or correct the defective Work at CONTRACTOR's sole cost and expense.
13.7 Warranty period:
13.7.1 If, at any time after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed
by laws or regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents or
by any specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work is found to be defective, the CONTRACTOR shall
promptly, without cost to the OWNER and in accordance with the OWNER's written instructions:
(i) correct such defective Work, or, if it has been rejected by the OWNER, remove it from the site and
replace it with Work that is not defective, and
(ii) satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage to other Work or the work of others resulting
therefrom.
If the CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where
delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, the OWNER may have the defective Work corrected or the
rejected Work removed and replaced, and all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or resulting from such
removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others and all
consultant, expert and attorney's fees incurred by OWNER)will be paid by the CONTRACTOR.
13.7.2 In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service before
Substantial Completion of all the Work, the warranty period for that item may start to run from an earlier date if so
provided in the Contract Documents and agreed to by OWNER.
13.8 OWNER May Correct Defective Work:
If the CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after Written Notice of the OWNER to correct defective Work,
or to remove and replace rejected Work, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents,
the OWNER may, after seven (7) calendar days' Written Notice to the CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any
such deficiency. If, in the opinion of Owner's Representative, significant progress has not been made during this
seven (7)calendar day period to correct the deficiency,the OWNER may exercise any actions necessary to remedy
the deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph,the OWNER shall proceed expeditiously.
In connection with such corrective and remedial action, the OWNER may exclude the CONTRACTOR from all or
part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend the CONTRACTOR's services related
thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which the OWNER has
paid the CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere. The CONTRACTOR shall allow the OWNER, its agents
and employees,the OWNER's other contractors, E/A and E/A's consultants access to the site to enable the OWNER
to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All claims, costs, losses and damages incurred or
sustained by the OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against the CONTRACTOR and
a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the

of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of the CONTRACTOR's defective
Work and any and all consultant, expert and attorneys fees incurred by OWNER as a result of OWNER's correction
of defective WORK. The CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones),
or claims of damage because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by the
OWNER of the OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder.
13.9 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER prefers to accept it,
OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages attributable to OWNER's
evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work, including but not limited to any expert, engineering
or other consultant's fees incurred by the OWNER to investigate such defective Work and/or to determine the
appropriate means or methods and work necessary to allow OWNER to accept the defective Work and
CONTRACTOR shall pay for all work required to be performed to allow OWNER to accept the defective Work and
any estimated costs, expenses and damages OWNER may sustain in the future as a result of accepting the
defective Work, including any diminution in value of the Project as a result of accepting the defective Work. If any
such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to
the Work shall be incorporated in a Change Order. If the parties are unable to agree as to the decrease in the
Contract Price, then OWNER may impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under the Contract
Documents. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after final payment, CONTRACTOR shall pay to OWNER
the above described costs, expenses and damages incurred by OWNER as a result of OWNER's acceptance of
defective Work.
ARTICLE 14- PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
14.1 Application for Progress Payment:
14.1.1 Not more than once per month, the CONTRACTOR shall submit to Owner's Representative for review an
Application for Payment, in a form acceptable to the OWNER, filled out and signed by the 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 or as required by OWNER.
14.1.2 Such applications shall not include requests for payment on account of changes in the Work which have
been properly authorized by Change Directives but not yet included in Change Orders.
14.1.3 Such applications shall not include requests for payment of amounts the CONTRACTOR does not intend
to pay to a Subcontractor or Supplier because of a dispute or other reason.
14.1.4 Owner will not pay for materials or equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably
stored at the site or at another location. Payment will be made by Owner only for Work completed in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
14.1.5 Where the original Contract Amount is less than $400,000, the OWNER will pay to the CONTRACTOR the
total amount of approved Application for Payment, less ten percent(10%) of the amount thereof, which ten percent

amount thereof, which five percent (5%)will be retained until final payment, less all previous payments and less all
sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement. In either case, if the Work is near
completion and delay occurs due to no fault or neglect of the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may pay a portion of
the retained amount to the CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR, at the OWNER's option, may be relieved of the
obligation to complete the Work and, thereupon, the CONTRACTOR shall receive payment of the balance due

14.3 Review of Applications for Progress Payment:
14.3.1 Owner's Representative will, within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of each Application for Payment,
either indicate a recommendation for payment and forward the Application for processing by the OWNER, or return
the Application to the CONTRACTOR indicating Owner's Representative's reasons for refusing to recommend
payment. In the latter case,the CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application.
14.3.2 Owner's Representative's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will
constitute a representation by Owner's Representative, based upon Owner's Representative's on-site observations
of the executed Work and on Owner's Representative's review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of Owner's Representative's knowledge, information and belief:
.1 the Work has progressed to the point indicated; and
.2 the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the
Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent
tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for
unit price Work, and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation).
14.3.3 By recommending any such payment, Owner's Representative will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that:
.1 inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work or that the Work has been
performed in accordance with the Contract Documents;
.2 examination has been made to ascertain how or for what purpose the CONTRACTOR has used money
previously paid on account of the Contract Amount;
.3 the CONTRACTOR's construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures have been
reviewed; or
.4 that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle the CONTRACTOR
to be paid additionally by the OWNER or entitle the OWNER to withhold payment to the
CONTRACTOR.
14.4 Decisions to Withhold Payment:
14.4.1 The OWNER may withhold or nullify the whole or part of any payment to such extent as maybe necessary
on account of:
.1 defective Work not remedied;
00700 04-2020 Page 36 General Conditions
.2 reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract
Amount;
.3 damage to the OWNER or another contractor;
.4 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, and that the unpaid
balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay;
.5 failure of the CONTRACTOR to submit a schedule of values in accordance with the Contract
Documents;
.6 failure of the CONTRACTOR to submit a submittal schedule in accordance with the Contract
Documents;
.7 failure of the CONTRACTOR to submit or update construction schedules in accordance with the
Contract Documents;
.8 failure of the CONTRACTOR to maintain a record of changes on drawings and documents;
.9 failure of the CONTRACTOR to maintain weekly payroll reports;
.10 failure of the CONTRACTOR to submit monthly subcontractor reports;
.11 the CONTRACTOR's neglect or unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work, including failure to clean up;
or
.12 failure of the CONTRACTOR to comply with any provision of the Contract Documents.
.13 OWNER's disagreement with the recommendation of the Owner's Representative, provided the
OWNER has provided a Written Notice to the CONTRACTOR specifying the reasons why OWNER

14.4.2 When the above reasons for withholding payment are removed, the CONTRACTOR shall resubmit a
statement for the value of Work performed. Payment will be made within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of
approved Application for Payment.
14.5 Delayed Payments:
Should the OWNER fail to make payment to the CONTRACTOR of a sum named in any Application for Payment
with which OWNER agrees and has approved for payment within thirty (30) calendar days after the day on which
the OWNER received the mutually acceptable Application for Payment, then the OWNER will pay to the
CONTRACTOR, in addition to the sum shown as due by such Application for Payment, interest thereon at the rate
of one percent (1%) per month from date due until fully paid, which shall fully liquidate any injury to the
CONTRACTOR growing out of such delay in payment.
14.6 Arrears:
No money shall be paid by the OWNER upon any claim, debt, demand or account whatsoever, to any person, firm
or corporation who is in arrears to the OWNER; and the OWNER shall be entitled to counterclaim and offset against

or account, shall affect the right of the OWNER to so offset said amounts, and associated penalties and interest if
applicable, against the same.
00700 04-2020 Page 37 General Conditions
14.7 Substantial Completion:
14.7.1 If a Certificate of Occupancy is required by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work, said
certificate shall be issued before the Work or any portion thereof is considered substantially complete. When the
CONTRACTOR considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the OWNER agrees to accept separately, is
substantially complete, the CONTRACTOR shall notify Owner's Representative and request a determination as to
whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If Owner's Representative does not
consider the Work substantially complete, Owner's Representative will notify the CONTRACTOR giving reasons
therefor. Failure on the OWNER's part to list a reason does not alter the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to
complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. After satisfactorily completing items identified by
Owner's Representative, the CONTRACTOR shall then submit another request for Owner's Representative to
determine substantial completion. If Owner's Representative considers the Work substantially complete, Owner's
Representative will prepare and deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of
Substantial Completion, shall include a punch list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment, shall
establish the time within which the CONTRACTOR shall finish the punch list, and shall establish responsibilities of
the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, warranty and
insurance. Failure to include an item on the punch list does not alter the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to
complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. The certificate of Substantial Completion shall be
signed by the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR to evidence acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in
such certificate.
14.7.2 The OWNER shall have the right to exclude the CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial
Completion, but the OWNER will allow the CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the
punch list.
14.8 Partial Utilization:
The OWNER, at the OWNER's sole option, shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or
partially completed portion of the Work regardless of the time for completing the entire Work. The OWNER's
exercise of such use and possession shall not be construed to mean that the OWNER acknowledges that any part
of the Work so possessed and used is substantially complete or that it is accepted by OWNER, and the OWNER's
exercise of such use and possession shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR of its responsibility to complete all Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents.
14.9 Final Inspection:
Upon Written Notice from the CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, Owner's
Representative will make a final inspection with the CONTRACTOR and provide Written Notice of all particulars in
which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. The CONTRACTOR shall immediately take
such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.
14.10 Final Application for Payment:
The CONTRACTOR may make application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments after
the CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of Owner's Representative and delivered
the following documents:
.1 Three (3) complete operating and maintenance manuals, each containing maintenance and operating
instructions, schedules, guarantees, and other documentation required by the Contract Documents;
.2 Record documents (as provided in paragraph 6.10);
.3 Consent of surety, if any, to final payment. If surety is not provided, complete and legally effective
releases or waivers (satisfactory to the OWNER) of all claims arising out of or filed in connection with
the Work;
00700 04-2020 Page 38 General Conditions
.4 Certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Supplemental General Conditions will remain in
force after final payment and through any warranty period;
.5 Non-Use of Asbestos Affidavit(After Construction); and
.6 Any other documentation called for in the Contract Documents.
14.11 Final Payment and Acceptance:
14.11.1 If, on the basis of observation of the Work during construction, final inspection, and review of the final
Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, Owner's
Representative is satisfied that the Work has been completed and the CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the
Contract Documents have been fulfilled, Owner's Representative will recommend the final Application for Payment
and thereby notify the OWNER. If the OWNER agrees with the recommendation of the Owner's Representative,
the OWNER will pay to the CONTRACTOR the balance due the CONTRACTOR under the terms of the Contract.
14.11.2 As Contract Time is measured to Final Completion, Owner's Representative will issue a letter of final
acceptance to the CONTRACTOR which establishes the Final Completion date and initiates any warranty period.
14.11.3 Final payment is considered to have taken place when the CONTRACTOR or any of its representatives

3.05 DISINFECTION
A. Disinfection shall be performed after protective coatings have been applied to the
interior surfaces and allowed to thoroughly cure as recommended by the Coating
Manufacturer.
B. Prior to disinfecting, the complete interior shall be washed down with clean water
and thoroughly flushed out.
C. Disinfection of interior surfaces shall be performed in the presence of the Inspector
in accordance with AWWA C652 Method 2. All the requirements of applicable
AWWA Standards and regulatory agencies shall apply. CONTRACTOR shall
furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment and related items to seal and disinfect

coordination by the CONTRACTOR with the OWNER is mandatory prior to and
during the filling of the reservoir and until the disinfection work is completed.
I. The CONTRACTOR and the OWNER shall have at least one representative present
at the job site at all times during the filling of the reservoir regardless of the time of
day. If the CONTRACTOR'S representative leaves the job site during the filling
process, the filling will be stopped and be rescheduled for a later date. The
CONTRACTOR shall pay all refilling and re-disinfection costs due to this
inconvenience.
3.06 SOLVENT VAPOR REMOVAL AND DEHUMIDIFICATION
All solvent vapors will be exhausted both during and after coating application at a
minimum rate of one air change every four hours to allow the proper curing of the coating
material. High rates of production may require an increase in ventilation. Forced
ventilation as noted above shall be continued for 7 days or until such time as the coating
has reached "full cure to immersion" as specified by the coating manufacture.
Dehumidification equipment will be used to control the environment in the space 24 hours
a day during blast cleaning,coating application and coating cure. All interior surfaces must
be complete, clean and accepted by the Inspector prior to the application of any coating.
Desiccant dehumidifiers, as manufactured by Munters Corporation and D.H. Technologies
or equal will be a solid desiccant design having a single rotary desiccant wheel capable of
fully automatic continuous operation. No liquid, granular, or loose lithium chloride drying
systems will be accepted.
The use of direct expansion (DX) refrigeration type dehumidifiers with reheat may be
considered if the expected ambient temperature will remain above 60°F. Below that coils
may not remove moisture and, as noted above,reheat alone will not change the dew point.
Heating the space changes relative humidity only and does not change the dew point;
therefore,not a substitute for dehumidification,unless substrate temperature is high enough
to meet dew point differential. The dehumidification system may consist of a combination
of desiccant and refrigerant equipment for year round use to maintain very low dew points
in the space.
Attachment A 20
During the blasting operation, dehumidification equipment shall maintain a lower dew
point than outside ambient. A differential of 20°F to 25°F between inside substrate surface
temperature and inside space air dew point temperature shall be maintained. In addition,
inside relative humidity shall not exceed 40% to 45%.
The air change rate for maintaining the above mentioned interior surface temperature and
dew point temperature differential will depend upon the type of equipment to be used and
the time of the year. Another consideration is length of time required to hold the blast.
The volume of space is a major factor in determining equipment type and size. The rate of
air changes per hour may be anywhere from 1 to 6 or more to hold the desired degree of
cleanliness of the blast.
Auxiliary heat, cooling and/or insulation may be necessary to maintain the surface
temperature at the acceptable level for the coating manufacturer's application parameters.
This auxiliary equipment must be approved for use by the supplier of the dehumidification
equipment and will meet the following requirements.
I. Heaters and refrigerant type systems must be installed in the process air supply duct
between, and/or blended with, the dehumidifier as close to the space as possible.
2. Only electric,indirect fired combustion,or steam coil auxiliary heaters will be used.
No direct-fired space heaters will be allowed during the blasting, coating, and
curing phases.
3. Heaters will be equipped with controls that automatically turn the heater off if the
airflow is interrupted or the internal temperature of the heater exceeds its design
temperature or that of the supply duct.
4. The space to be controlled will be sealed off as well as possible, allowing air to
escape the space away from the point where the dehumidified air is being
introduced. Filter the air escaping the space; the filtration system must be designed
so that it does not interfere with the dehumidification equipment's ability to control
the dew point and relative humidity of space. Do not re-circulate the air from the
space or from filtration equipment back through the dehumidifier during coating
application or when solvent vapors are present.
3.07 CONTAINMENT AND DUST CONTROL EQUIPMENT
It is the responsibility of the contractor to contain the emissions during the interior
and exterior work and protect the surrounding property and equipment by proven
means and methods. If full containment of the entire structure is deemed necessary
the following shall apply. Dust control while the interior is being cleaned is required
and shall be employed as stated in this section.
(IF APPLICIABLE) The Contractor shall design a containment system for the work area
that will sustain winds up to 15 mph without damage to the tank. The containment shall
control environmental emissions and control the working environment within containment
so all Federal, State and local regulations have been observed and that the method(s) of
Attachment A 21
removal complies with the governing specifications. Nevertheless, in the instance of
conflict between any Federal, State or local regulations and the governing specifications,
the Federal, State or local regulations shall supersede any requirements contained herein.
The Contractor shall thoroughly examine the structure to be prepared to verify its ability
to support a containment system including the wind loads that can be imparted by such a
system.
The Contractor shall submit a drawing of the structure and information of wind screening
material supported by technical data sheets for the proposed containment system, the
technical data sheet to include:
• Wind Resistance of structure and screening
• Opacity
• Burst Strength
• Material Composition
• Color
• Fire Rating
• Thread Count
• Ultra-Violet Stabilized
The wind containment must comply with the principles of security, which are:
• Appropriate protection of the environment from abrasive blasting and painting
debris.
• Pinhole ventilation (% for retention), allowing for cross-flow of air movement.
• Edgings as well as every internal seam are sewn.
• Alternate internal seams are reversed for additional strength.
• Grommets are spaced along all edges and seams for the wind load to be supported
by the screens.
• Permeable to natural lighting, unless alternate lighting is to be provided(show that
lighting is explosion-proof).
• A minimum of 6" tarp overlap will be required as to provide for a maximum
possible containment of spent debris.
• Shroud shall be erected/installed as to withstand maximum wind requirements and
be no closer than 6 feet of the tank structure as to reduce interference with the
coating operation.
• All rigging attachments must be temporary.
• The windscreen containment system shall be maintained free of defects through the
course of the project. Work shall be stopped until all defects are repaired.
Such work activities inside a tank, tank column, or modular containment is considered
working within a closed environment. OSHA, therefore, requires a clean, uncontaminated
air source outside the enclosure with an appropriate backup such as another source of clean,
uncontaminated air to be activated by merely switching a valve contained on the worker's
Attachment A 22
body; air bottles strapped onto the worker; Scott Air Packs attached to the worker's body;
or other OSHA approved and accepted air sources.
The Contractor shall employ negative air pressure and dust removal equipment for interior
surface preparation and coating operations at ALL times during interior work. The air
employed inside the tank shall be vented to the outside, filtered, dewatered, and returned
to the enclosed space at least as clean as native air. The dust collection system shall at a
minimum meet the requirements of a Type J1 Air Filtration system, as specified in Section
5.4.5.1 of the SSPC-Guide 6 (CON), Guide for containing Debris Generated During Paint
Removal Operations. The dust collection shall be operated during all abrasive blast
cleaning and until the area is clean enough for coating application. The CONTRACTOR
shall be responsible for all sizing, design of ductwork, etc., based upon the
CONTRACTOR's operations, number of blasters, duration of blasting, etc. The
CONTRACTOR shall also take precautions to avoid a vacuum from developing inside the
tank, as even slight vacuum inside of the tank may cause damage to the tank.
3.08 CONFINED SPACE: The Contractor shall provide confined space training certificates
of all persons who will be working on this project. Certificates shall be submitted to
Engineer/Owner before work begins.
3.09 CLEAN UP: Upon completion of the work, all staging, scaffolding and containers shall

3.2 South 81 CET
The South 81 tank is now 19-years old and has started to show signs of coating degradation in the
top coat on the roof and some areas along the shell and cone. There are limited areas where the
underlying base metal is exposed where the finish coat has started to flake off. Chalking is evident
from the UV exposure that affects the overall gloss retention and esthetic look. The exterior
coating is a candidate to receive a full exterior overcoat. The interior coating has begun to fail at
areas above the HWL and along edges and seams. Some coating delamination is found along the
shell and interior appurtenances. A complete interior coating removal and re-installation is
recommended.
