GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT
1. DEFINITIONS
1.01 Calendar Day. A calendar day shall be the 24 hour

sist of the Notice to Contractors; Advertisement; the
Instructions to Bidders; the Proposal; the Signed
Agreement; the Performance and Payment Bonds; the Gen-
eral Conditions of the Agreement; the Special Condi-
tions of the Agreement; the Specifications; the Plans;
the Standard Drawings; Addenda; and duly authorized
Change Orders. The Contract Documents are complemen-
tary, and what is called for by any one shall be as
binding as if called for by all. In case of conflict
between any of the Contract Documents, priority of
interpretation shall be in the following order: Sign-
ed Agreement, Performance and Payment Bonds, Addenda,
Proposal, Special Conditions of the Agreement, Notice
to Contractors, Specifications, Plans, and General
Conditions of the Agreement.
1.03 Contractor. "Contractor" shall mean the business or-
ganization or individual named and designated in the
Contract Agreement as the "Party of the Second Part ",
who has entered into this contract for the performance
of the work covered thereby, and its, his, or their
duly authorized agents and other legal representa-
tives.
1.04 Engineer. "Engineer" shall mean Haynie & Kallman,
Inc., or such other Engineer, supervisor, or inspector
who has been designated, appointed, or otherwise em-
ployed or delegated by the Owner for this work, or
their duly authorized agents, such agents acting with-
in the scope of the particular duties entrusted to
them in each case.
1.05 Extra Work. The term "extra work" as used in this
contract shall be understood to mean and include all
work that may be required by the Engineer or Owner to
be done by the Contractor to accomplish any change,
alteration, or addition to the work shown on the
Plans, or reasonably implied by the Specifications,
and not covered by the Contractor's Proposal, except
as provided under "Changes and Alterations ", herein.
GC -1
1.13 Written Notice. "Written notice" shall be deemed to
have been duly served if delivered in person to the
individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer
of the corporation for whom it is intended, or if de-
livered at or sent by certified or registered mail to
the last business address known to him who gives the
notice.
2. GENERAL PROVISIONS
2.01 Engineer's Status and Authority. It is mutually
agreed by and between the parties to this Contract
that the Engineer shall have general supervision and
direction of the work included herein. In order to
prevent delays and disputes and to discourage litiga-
tion it is further agreed by and between the parties
of this Contract that the Engineer shall in all cases
determine the amounts and quantities of the several
kinds of work which are to be paid for under the Con-
tract; that he shall determine all questions in rela-
tion to said work and the construction thereof, that
he shall in all cases decide every question which may
arise relative to the execution of the Contract on the
part of the Contractor; that his decisions and find-
ings shall be the conditions precedent to the right of
the parties hereto to arbitration or to any action on
the Contract and to the rights of the Contractor to
receive any money under this Contract; provided, how-
ever, that should the Engineer render any decision or
give any direction which in the opinion of either
party hereto is not in accordance with the meaning and
intent of this Contract, either party may file with
the Engineer within 30 days a written objection to the
decision or direction so rendered. It is the intent
of this Agreement that there shall be no delay in the
execution of the work, and the decision or directions
of the Engineer as rendered shall be promptly carried
out.
2.02 Right of Engineer to Modify Methods and Equipment. If
at any time the methods or equipment used by the Con-
tractor are found to be unsafe or inadequate to secure
the quality of the work or the rate of progress re-
quired under this Contract, the Engineer may direct
the Contractor in writing to increase their safety or
improve their character and efficiency and to cease
operations under this Contract until such direction is
complied with. No claims shall be made against the
Owner for damages caused by any delay resulting from
such order.
GC -3
2.03 Changes and Alterations. The Contractor agrees that
the Owner, through the Engineer, may make such changes
and alterations as the Owner may see fit in the line,
grade, form, dimensions, plans, or materials for the
work herein contemplated or any part thereof either
before or after the beginning of the construction
without affecting the validity of this Contract and
the accompanying bonds. If such changes or altera-
tions diminish the quantity of the work to be done,
they shall not constitute the basis for a claim for
damages or anticipated profits on the work that may be
dispensed with. If they increase the amount of work
and the increased work can fairly be classified under
the specifications, such increase shall be paid for
according to the quantity actually done and at the
unit price established for such work under this Con-
tract; otherwise such work shall be paid for as pro-
vided under Section 2.12 "Extra Work ". In the event
the Owner shall make such changes or alterations which
will make useless any work already done or material
already furnished or used in said work, then the Owner
shall compensate the Contractor for any materials or
labor so used, for any actual loss occasioned by such
change, and for the actual expenses incurred in prepa-
ration for the work as originally planned.
2.04 Damages. The right of general supervision by the
Owner shall not make the Contractor an agent of the
Owner, and the liability of the Contractor for all
damages to persons, firms, and corporations arising
from the Contractor's execution of the work shall not
be lessened because of such general supervision. The
Contractor is an independent contractor in regard to
work under this Contract, and as such is solely liable
for all damages to any persons, firms, corporations,
or their property as a result of the prosecution of
the work.
2.05 Losses from Natural Causes. All loss or damage aris-
ing out of the nature of the work to be done or from
the action of the elements or from any unforeseen cir-
cumstances in the prosecution of the work or from unu-
sual obstructions or difficulties which may be encoun-
tered in the prosecution of the work shall be sustain-
ed and borne by the Contractor at his own cost and
expense.
2.06 Laws and Ordinances. The Contractor shall at all
times observe and comply with all Federal, State, and
local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations which
GC -4
in any manner affect the Contract or the work and
shall indemnify and save harmless the Owner against
any claim arising from the violation of any such laws
and ordinances whether by the Contractor or his em-
ployees or his subcontractors and their employees.
2.07 Licenses, Permits and Certificates. Except as herein-
after stipulated, all licenses, permits, certificates,
etc. required for and in connection with the work to
be performed under the provisions of these Contract
Documents shall be secured by the Contractor at his
own expense. In the event a building permit is re-
quired such permit will be obtained by the Owner at no
cost to the Contractor.
2.08 Royalties and Patents. The Contractor shall protect
and save harmless the Owner from all and every demand
for damages, royalties, or fees on any patented inven-
tion used by him in connection with the work done or
material furnished under this Contract; provided, how-
ever, that if any patented material, machinery, appli-
ance, or invention is clearly specified in this Con-
tract, the cost of procuring the rights of use and the
legal release or indemnity shall be borne and paid by
the Owner direct unless such cost is determined and
directed to be included in the bid price at the time
the Proposal is submitted.
2.09 Keeping of Plans and Specifications Accessible. The
Engineer shall furnish the Contractor with three (3)
sets of executed Plans and Specifications without ex-
pense to him, and the Contractor shall keep one copy
of the same constantly accessible on the work, with
the latest revisions noted thereon.
2.10 Discrepancies and Omissions. It is further agreed
that it is the intent of this Contract that all work
must be done and all material must be furnished in ac-
cordance with the generally accepted practice, and in
the event of any discrepancies between the separate
contract documents, the priority of interpretation de-
fined under "Contract Documents" shall govern. In the
event that there is still any doubt as to the meaning
and intent of any portion of the Contract, Specifica-
tions or Drawings, the Engineer shall define which is
intended to apply to the work.
2.11 Contractor's Understanding. It is understood and
agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examina-
tion, satisfied himself as to the nature and location
GC -5
of the work, the conformation of the ground, the char-
acter, quality and quantity of the materials to be en-
countered, the character of equipment and facilities
needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of
the work, the general and local conditions, and all
other matters which can in any way affect the work
under this Contract. No verbal agreement or conversa-
tion with any officer, agent, or employee of the Own-
er, either before or after the execution of this Con-
tract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or ob-
ligations herein contained.
2.12 Extra Work. The term "extra work" as used in this
Contract shall be understood to mean and include all
work that may be required by the Owner through the
Engineer to be done by the Contractor to accomplish
any change, alteration, or addition to the work shown
by the Plans or reasonably implied by the Specifica-
tions and not covered by the Contractor's Proposal,
except as provided in Section 2.03 - "Changes and
Alterations ".
It is agreed that the Contractor shall
perform all extra work under the direction of the
Engineer when presented with a written Change Order
signed by the Engineer.
No claim for extra work of any kind will
be allowed unless ordered in writing by the Engineer.
In case any orders or instructions, either oral or
written, appear to the Contractor to involve extra
work for which he should receive compensation, he
shall make a written request to the Engineer for a
written Change Order authorizing such extra work.
Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does
or does not constitute extra work or concerning the
payment therefor and the Engineer insists upon its
performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the
work after making a written request for a written
Change Order and shall keep an accurate account of the
"actual field cost" thereof as provided under Method
"C" below.
2.13 Payment for Extra Work. It is agreed that the compen-
sation to be paid the Contractor for performing extra
work shall be determined by one or more of the follow-
ing methods:
Method "A" - By agreed unit prices;
Method "B" - By agreed lump sum; or
GC -6
Method "C" - If neither Method "A" or Method "B" can
be agreed upon before the extra work is
commenced, then the Contractor shall be
paid the "actual field cost" of the work
plus 15%.
Where extra work is performed under Method "C ", the
term "actual field cost" of such extra work is hereby
defined to be and shall include: (a) the payroll cost
for all workmen, such as foreman, mechanics, crafts-
men, and laborers; (b) the cost of all materials and
supplies not furnished by the Owner; (c) rental for
all power- driven equipment at agreed -upon rates for
the time actually employed or used in the performance
of the extra work; (d) transportation charges neces-
sarily incurred in connection with any equipment
authorized by the Engineer for use on said extra work
and which is not already on the job; (e) all power,
fuel, lubricants, water, and similar operating expens-
es; (f) all incidental expenses incurred as a direct
result of such extra work including sales or use taxes
on materials, payroll taxes, and the additional pre-
miums for construction bonds, workmen's compensation,
public liability and property damage, and other insur-
ance required by the Contract where the premiums
therefor are based on payroll and material costs. The
Engineer may direct the form in which accounts of the
"actual field costs" shall be kept and may also speci-
fy in writing before the work commences the method of
doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and
equipment to be used; otherwise these matters shall be
determined by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed
upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equip-
ment shall be incorporated in the written extra work
Change Order. The 15% of the "actual field cost" to
be paid the Contractor shall cover and compensate him
for his profit, overhead, and general superinten-
dence.
2.14 Assignment and Subletting. The Contractor shall not
assign or sublet the work or any part thereof without
the previous written consent of the Owner, nor shall
he assign, by power of attorney or otherwise, any of
the money payable under this Contract unless by and
with the consent of the Owner to be signified in like
manner. If the Contractor assigns all or any part of
any monies due or to become due under this Contract,
the instrument of assignment shall contain a clause
substantially to the effect that it is agreed that the
right of the assignee in and to any monies due or to
GC -7
become due to the Contractor shall be subject to all
prior liens of all persons, firms, and corporations
for services rendered or materials supplied for the
performance of the work called for in this Contract.
2.15 Subcontractors. The Contractor shall be as fully re-
sponsible to the Owner for the acts and omissions of
his subcontractors and of persons either directly or
indirectly employed by them as he is for the acts and
omissions of persons directly employed by him. Should
any subcontractor fail to perform the work undertaken
by him in a satisfactory manner, his subcontract shall
be immediately terminated by the Contractor upon writ-
ten notice from the Owner.
2.16 Owner's Status. Nothing contained in this Contract
shall create any contractual relation between any sub-
contractor and the Owner.
2.17 Completed Portions of Work. The Owner shall have the
right to take possession of and to use any completed
or partially completed portions of the work prior to
completion of the entire work, but such use shall not
constitute an acceptance of any of the work not com-
pleted in accordance with the Contract Documents. If
the Engineer determines that taking possession of and
using partially completed work substantially increases
the cost of or delays construction, the Contractor
shall be entitled to extra compensation or extension
of time or both as determined by the Engineer.
2.18 Materials. All materials furnished by the Contractor
shall be as required by the Plans and Specifications
or as otherwise stipulated. The Contractor shall not
start delivery of materials which he is to furnish
until the Engineer has approved the source of supply
of such materials.
2.19 Receiving and Storage of Materials. The Contractor
shall make arrangements for receiving and storing
materials. The Owner will not sign for or receive
shipments of materials consigned to the Contractor.
The Owner will not furnish storage space for materials
except where the written permission of the Engineer is
given.
2.20 Or Equal" Clause. Whenever a material, product, or
article is specified or shown on the Plans by using
the name of the proprietary product or of a particular
manufacturer or vendor and is followed by the term "or
equal" the Contractor may submit a written request to
GC -8
the Engineer requesting approval of the use of a
material, product, or article he feels is truly equal
to the one specified. The Engineer will evaluate the
request to determine if the material, product, or
article is of equal substance and function and if it
will perform identically the duties imposed by the
general design. Written approval of an "or equal"
material, product, or article must be obtained from
the Engineer before it may be incorporated into the
work as a substitute for that specified in the Con-
tract Documents.
,2.21 Completed Work. The Contractor shall maintain contin-
uous adequate safeguards to protect all completed work
from damage, loss, or the intrusion of foreign ele-
ments.
2.22 Materials Furnished by the Owner. The Contractor
shall assume responsibility for and safeguard any and
all materials supplied by the Owner against loss or
injury. This provision shall extend to the taking of
all necessary sanitary precautions to avoid contamina-
tion of such materials that must be maintained and in-
corporated into the work in a sanitary condition.
2.23 Protection of Property. The Contractor shall give
reasonable notice to the owner or owners of public or
private property and utilities when such property is
liable to injury or damage through the performance of
the work, and he shall make all necessary arrangements
with such owner or owners relative to the removal and
replacement or protection of such property or utili-
ties.
The Contractor shall satisfactorily shore, support,
and protect any and all structures, and all pipes,
sewers, drains, conduits, and other facilities belong-
ing to the Owner, and he shall be responsible for any
damage resulting thereto. The Contractor shall not be
entitled to any damages or extra pay as a result of
any postponement, interference, or delay caused by any
such structures and facilities being on the line of
the work whether they are shown on the Plans or not.
2.24 Shelters for Workmen and Materials. The building or
structures for housing men or the erection of tents or
other forms of protection for workmen or materials
will be permitted only as the Engineer shall authorize
or direct. The sanitary conditions of the grounds in
or about such.structures shall at all times be main-
tained in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.
GC -9
2.25 Sanitary Facilities. Necessary sanitary toilet facil-
ities for the use of all employees on the work shall
be of a type complying with State and local sanitary
regulations and shall be properly secluded from public
observation. These facilities shall be constructed
and maintained by the Contractor in such manner and at
such points as shall be approved by the Engineer.
Their use shall be strictly enforced.
3. CONTRACTOR'S OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
3.01 Labor, Equipment, Materials and Construction Plant.
The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equip-
ment, machinery, supplies, and materials necessary for
the prosecution and completion of this Contract where
it is not specifically provided that the Owner shall
furnish them. The Owner shall not be held responsible
for the care, preservation, conservation, or protec-
tion of any material, tools, or machinery on any part
of the work until it is finally completed and accept-
ed. The Contractor shall maintain on the job at all
times sufficient labor, material, and equipment to
adequately prosecute the work.
3.02 Performance and Payment Bonds. It is further agreed
by the Parties to this Contract that the Contractor
will execute separate performance and payment bonds,
each in the sum of 100% of the total Contract price in
standard forms for this purpose, guaranteeing faithful
performance of the work and the fulfillment of any
guarantees required and further guaranteeing payment
to all persons supplying labor and materials or fur-
nishing him any equipment in the execution of the Con-
tract. It is agreed that the Contract shall not be in
effect until such performance and payment bonds are
furnished and approved by the Owner. The cost of the
premium for the performance and payment bonds shall be
included in the price bid by the Contractor for the
work under this Contract, and no extra payment for
such bonds will be made by the Owner.
The surety company or companies underwriting the per-
formance and payment bonds shall be acceptable accord-
ing to the latest list of companies holding certifi-
cates of authority from the Secretary of the Treasury
of the United States, shall be duly authorized to act
under the laws of the State of Texas as Surety, and
shall be approved by the Owner.
GC -10
3.03 Contractor's Ability to Perform.' Upon request by the
Owner the Contractor shall furnish sufficient evidence
of his ability to perform the work which is outlined
in this document. This shall include an equipment in-
ventory and records showing the satisfactory comple-
tion of projects of equal magnitude in the past. It
shall be the prerogative of the Owner to terminate the
Contract as outlined in Section 7 "Termination of Con-
tract", if job progress indicates that the Contractor
lacks either appropriate experience or ability.
3.04 Superintendence and Inspection. The Contractor shall
give personal attention to the faithful prosecution
and completion of the Contract and shall keep a compe-
tent superintendent and any necessary assistants, all
of whom are satisfactory to the Engineer, on the work
continuously during its progress. The superintendent
shall represent the Contractor in his absence, and all
directions given to him by the Owner's representative
shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor.
In the event that the Contractor and the superinten-
dent are both absent from the site of the work for
prolonged periods of time the Engineer may order any
or all work under this Contract to be stopped until
the Contractor provides continuous and proper supervi-
sion of the work. Such stoppage shall not constitute
a basis for any claim against the Owner for damages
caused by delay for such work stoppages.
3.05 Character of Employees. The Contractor agrees to em-
ploy only orderly, competent, and skillful persons to
do the work, and whenever the Engineer shall inform
him that the work being accomplished is of sub -stan-
dard character by reason of carelessness, incompe-
tence, or inexperience on the part of the workers the
installation of such work shall be immediately sus-
pended and shall not be resumed until the Engineer is
satisfied that the conditions causing such faulty work
have been corrected.
3.06 Contractor's Duty to Protect Persons and Property. In
the performance of this Contract, the Contractor shall
protect the public and the Owner fully by taking rea-
sonable precaution to safeguard persons from death or
bodily injury and to safeguard property of any nature
whatsoever from damage. Where any dangerous condition
or nuisance exists in and around construction sites,
equipment and supply storage areas, and other areas in
GC -11
anyway connected with the performance of this Con-
tract, the Contractor shall not create excavations,
obstructions, or any dangerous condition or nuisance
of any nature whatsoever in connection with the per-
formance of this Contract unless necessary to its per-
formance, and in that event the Contractor shall pro-
vide and maintain at all times reasonable means of
warning of any danger or nuisance created. The duties
of the Contractor in this paragraph shall be nondeleg-
able, and the Contractor's compliance with the speci-
fic recommendations and requirements of the Owner as
to the means of warning shall not excuse the Contrac-
tor from the faithful performance of these duties
should such recommendations and requirements not be
adequate or reasonable under the circumstances.
3.07 Safety Codes. The Contractor shall comply with all
applicable provisions of any Federal, State, and Muni-
cipal safety laws and building and construction codes.
All machinery, equipment, and other physical hazards
shall be guarded in accordance with the latest edition
of the "Manual of Accident Prevention in Construction"
of the Associated General Contractors of America ex-
cept where incompatible with Federal, State, or Muni-
cipal laws or regulations.
3.08 Barricades. When barricades are used to satisfy
safety requirements, such barricades shall be properly
identified with the Contractor's name prominently
stenciled on both sides of the barricades with letters
at least 2 inches high.
3.09 Minimum Wages. All employees directly employed on the
work shall be paid not less than the established pre-
vailing wage scale for work of a similar character in
this locality. A scale of prevailing wages is includ-
ed in the Special Conditions of these Contract Docu-
ments. The Contractor shall pay not less than the
general prevailing wages shown on said scale and shall
keep accurate wages records accessible in accordance
with Article 5159 of the Revised Civil Statutes of
Texas.
3.10 Unsuitable Work or Materials. It is understood and
agreed that if the work or any part thereof or any
material furnished by the Contractor for use in the
work or selected for the same shall be deemed by the
Engineer as unsuitable or not in conformity with the
specifications, the Contractor shall, after receipt of
written notice thereof from the Contracting Officer,

forthwith remove such material and replace, rebuild,
or otherwise remedy such work so that it shall be in
full accordance with this Contract.
Should the Contractor fail to initiate compliance with
the above provision within 72 hours or should he fail
to properly prosecute and complete correction of such
faulty work, the Engineer may direct that the work be
done by others and that the cost of the work be de-
ducted from monies due the Contractor.
3.11 No Waiver of Contractor's Obligations. The Engineer,
supervisor, or inspector shall have no power to waive
the obligations of this Contract for the furnishing by
the Contractor of good material and of his performing
good work as herein described and in full accordance
with the plans and specifications. No failure or
omission of the Engineer, supervisor, or inspector to
condemn any defective work or material shall release
the Contractor from the obligation to at once tear
out, remove, and properly replace the same at any time
prior to final acceptance upon the discovery of said
defective work or material; provided, however that the
Engineer, supervisor, or inspector shall upon request
of the Contractor inspect and accept or reject any
material furnished, and once the material has been ac-
cepted by the Engineer, supervisor, or inspector such
acceptance shall be binding on the Owner unless it can
be clearly shown that such material furnished was not
as represented and does not meet the specifications
for the work. Any questioned work may be ordered
taken up or removed for re- examination by the Engineer
prior to final acceptance, and if found not in accor-
dance with the specifications for said work, all ex-
pense of removing, re- examination, and replacement
shall be borne by the Contractor; otherwise the ex-
pense thus incurred shall be allowed as "Extra Work"
and shall be paid for by the Owner.
3.12 Site Clean Up. The Contractor shall not allow the
site of the work to become littered with trash and
waste material, but shall maintain the site in a neat
and orderly condition throughout the construction per-
iod. The Engineer shall have the right to determine
what is waste material or rubbish and the manner and
place of disposal. On or before the completion of the.-.
work the Contractor shall, without charge therefor,
carefully clean out all pits, pipes, chambers, or con-
duits, shall tear down and remove all temporary struc-
tures built by him, shall remove all rubbish of every
GC -13
kind from the tracts or grounds which he has occupied,
and shall leave them in a condition satisfactory to
the Engineer.
3.13 Guarantee. During a period of 12 months from and
after date of the final acceptance by the Owner of
the work embraced by this Contract, the Contractor
shall make all needed repairs arising out of defective
workmanship or materials, or both, which in the judg-
ment of the Owner shall become necessary during such
period. If within 10 days after the mailing of a
notice in writing to the Contractor or his agent the
said Contractor shall neglect to make or to undertake
with due diligence the aforesaid repairs, the Owner is
hereby authorized to make such repairs at the Contrac-
tor's expense; provided, however, that in case of an
emergency where, in the judgment of the Owner, delay
would cause serious loss or damage, repairs may be
made without notice being sent to the Contractor, and
the Contractor shall pay the cost thereof.
4. OWNER'S OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
4.01 Lines and Grades. All necessary lines and grades
shall be furnished by the Engineer. Whenever neces-
sary, work shall be suspended to permit performance of
this work, but such suspension will be as brief as
practicable, and the Contractor shall be allowed no
extra compensation therefor. The Contractor shall
give the Engineer ample notice of the time and place
where lines and grades will be needed. All stakes,
marks, etc. shall be carefully preserved by the Con-
tractor, and in case of careless destruction or remov-
al by him or his employees such stakes, marks, etc.
shall be replaced by the Engineer at the Contractor's
expense.
4.02 Right of Entry. The Owner reserves the right for its
personnel or its agents to enter the property or loca-
tion on which the work herein contracted are being
constructed or installed for the purpose of supervis-
ing and inspecting the work or for the purpose of con-
structing or installing such collateral work as the
Owner may desire.
4.03 Owner's Inspectors. It is agreed by the Contractor
that the Owner shall appoint such Engineer, supervi-
sors, or inspectors as the said Owner may deem neces-
sary to inspect the material furnished and the work
GC -14
done under this Contract, to see that the said mater-
ial is furnished, and to see that said work is done in
accordance with the plans and specifications therefor.
The Contractor shall furnish all reasonable aid and
assistance required by the Engineer, supervisors, or
inspectors for the proper inspection and examination
of the work and all parts thereof. The Contractor
shall regard and comply with the directions and in-
structions of the Engineer, supervisors, or inspectors
so appointed when such directions and instructions are
consistent with the obligations of this Contract.
4.04 Collateral Work. The Owner reserves the right to pro-
vide all labor and material essential to the comple-
tion of work that is not included in this Contract
either by a separate contract or otherwise. Any col-
lateral work shall be prosecuted in such a manner that
it will not damage the Contractor nor delay the pro-
gress of the work being accomplished under this Con-
tract. The respective rights of and operations of the
various interests involved shall be established and
coordinated by the Engineer.
4.05 Right -of -Way. Easements across private property and
lands needed for construction under this Contract will
be provided by the Owner.
4.06 Adequacy of Design. It is agreed that the Owner shall
be responsible for the adequacy of the design, suffi-
ciency of the Contract Documents, the safety of the
structure and practicability of the operations of the
completed project; provided the Contractor has com-
plied with the requirements of the said Contract Docu-
ments, all approved modifications thereof, and addi-
tions and alterations thereto approved in writing by
the Owner. The burden of proof of such compliance
shall be upon the Contractor to show that he has com-
plied with the said requirements of the Contract Docu-
ments, approved modifications thereof and all approved
additions and alterations thereto.
5. SCHEDULING AND PROGRESS OF WORK
5.01 Order and Prosecution of the Work. It is the meaning
and intent of this Contract, unless otherwise herein
specifically provided, that the Contractor shall be
allowed to prosecute his work at such times and sea-
sons in such order of precedence and in such manner as
shall be most conducive to economy of construction;

provided however, that the order and time of prosecu-
tion shall be such that the work shall be substantial-
ly completed as a whole or in part in accordance with
this Contract within the time of completion hereafter
designated; provided also that the Engineer may direct
the time and manner of constructing any part or parts
of the work when in his opinion such should be given
priority to lessen the probability of danger to the
public or to anticipate seasonal hazards from the ele-
ments or to coordinate with other work being done for
or by the Owner.
5.02 Rate of Progress. The Contractor shall give the Engi-
neer full information in advance as to his plans for
carrying on any part of the work. If at any time
prior to the start or during the progress of the work
any part of the Contractor's plant or equipment or any
of his methods of executing the work appear to the
Engineer to be unsafe, inefficient, or inadequate to
insure the required quality or rate of progress of the
work, the Engineer may order the Contractor to in-
crease or improve his facilities or methods, and the
Contractor shall promptly comply with such orders; but
neither compliance with such orders nor failure of the
Engineer to issue such orders shall relieve the Con-
tractor from his obligation to secure the degree of
safety, the quality of work, and the rate of progress
required by this Contractor. The Contractor alone
shall be responsible for the safety, adequacy, and
efficiency of his plant, equipment, and methods.
5.03 Sunday, Holiday, and Night Work. Except in connection
with the care, maintenance, or protection of equipment
or of work already done, no work shall be done between
the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. or on Sundays or
legal holidays without written consent of the Engi-
neer.
5.04 Hindrances and Delays. No claims shall be made by the
Contractor for damages, hindrances, or delays from any
cause during the progress of any portion of the work
embraced by this Contract except where the work is
stopped by order of the Owner. If the Owner stops the
work for just cause because the Contractor is not com-
plying with the plans and specifications or the intent
thereof, the Contractor shall have no claim for dam-
ages, hindrances, or delays. However, if the Owner
stops the work for any other reason, the Contractor
shall be entitled to reimbursement paid by the Owner
for such expenses actually incurred which in the judg-
ment of the Engineer occurred as a result of the work
stoppage.
GC -16
Should delays repeatedly occur due to the Contractor's
failure to provide adequate plant, equipment, or per-
sonnel, or where the Engineer determines that unrea-
sonable inconvenience to the public is due to such
failure, the Contractor's operations shall be suspend-
ed until he shall have provided adequate plant, equip-
ment, and personnel to properly resume and continually
prosecute the work.
5.05 Extensions of Time. Should the Contractor be delayed
in the final completion of the work by any act or neg-
lect of the Owner or Engineer, or of any employee of
either, or by any other contractor employed by the
Owner, or by strikes, fire or other cause or causes
outside of and beyond the control of the Contractor
and which the Engineer determines could have been
neither anticipated nor avoided, then an extension of
time sufficient to compensate for the delay as deter-
mined by the Engineer shall be granted by the Owner;
provided, however, that the Contractor shall give the
Owner prompt notice in writing of the cause of delay
in each case. Extensions of time will not be granted
for delays caused by unfavorable weather, unsuitable
ground conditions or inadequate construction force.
5.06 Liquidated Damages for Failure to Complete on Time.
The Contractor agrees that time is of the essence of
this Contract and that the definite value of damages
which would result from delay would be incapable of
ascertainment and uncertain, so that for each day of
delay beyond the number of days herein agreed upon for
the completion of the work herein specified and con-
tracted for, after due allowance for such extension of
time as is provided for under the provisions of the
preceding paragraph, the Owner may withhold permanent-
ly from the Contractor's total compensation, not as a
penalty but as liquidated damages, the sum per day
given in the following schedule:
Amount of Liquidated
Amount of Contract Damages Per Day
Less than $ 5,000.00

7. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT
7.01 Right of Owner to Terminate. If the Contractor should
be guilty of substantial violation of the Contract or
any provision thereof, the Owner, upon certification
by the Engineer as to the nature and extent of such
violation, may without prejudice to any other resourc-
es or remedy give the Contractor written notice of
termination of the employment of the Contractor 10
days subsequent to such notice. Immediately following
such date the Owner may take possession of the site of
the work and all material, equipment, tools, and ap-
pliances thereon and may finish the work in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8 "Abandonment of Con-
tract by Contractor ", of these General Conditions.
7.02 Right of Contractor to Terminate. If work should be
stopped by order of any public authority or court
through no act or fault of the Contractor for a period
of three (3) months or if the Owner should substan-
tially fail to perform the provisions of the Contract
with regard to Owner's obligations to the Contractor,
then the Contractor may, upon 10 days written notice
to the Owner, terminate this Contract and recover from
the Owner payment for all completed work.
7.03 Removal of Equipment. In the event that the Contract
should be terminated for any reason whatsoever, the
Owner may request the Contractor in writing to remove
any or all of his equipment, tools, and supplies, and
the Contractor shall comply with the request within 10
days after receipt of the notice. Should he fail to
do so within 10 days after receipt of such notice, the
Owner shall have the right to remove such equipment
and supplies at the expense of the Contractor and to
place such equipment, tools and supplies in storage at
the risk and expense of the Contractor.

days after written notification from the Owner or the
Engineer or if the Contractor fails to comply with the
orders of the Engineer when such orders are consistent
with this Contract or with the specifications hereto
attached, then the Contractor shall be deemed as hav-
ing abandoned the Contract. In such event the Surety
on the bond shall be notified in writing and directed
to complete the work, and a copy of said notice shall
be delivered to the Contractor.
8.02 Retention of Contractor's Equipment and Materials by
Owner. After receiving said notice of abandonment the
Contractor shall not remove from the work any machin-
ery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies then on
the job, but the same together with any materials and
equipment under contract for the work may be held for
use on the work by the Owner or the Surety on the per-
formance bond or another contractor in completion of
the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any
rental or credit therefor except when used in connec-
tion with extra work where credit shall be allowed as
provided for under Section 2.12 entitled "Extra Work ",
it being understood that the use of such equipment and
materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete
the work and will be reflected in the final settle-
ment.
8.03 Methods of Completing the Work. If the Surety should
Till to commence compliance with the notice for com-
pletion hereinbefore provided within 10 days after
service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for
completion of the work in either of the following
elective manners:
a. The Owner may thereupon employ such force of work-
ers and use such machinery, equipment, tools, mat-
erials, and supplies as said Owner may deem neces-
sary to complete the work and charge the expense
of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools, mater-
ials, and supplies to said Contractor, and the ex-
pense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the
Owner out of such monies as may be due or that may
thereafter at any time become due to the Contrac-
tor under and by virtue of this Contract. In case
such expense is less than the sum which would have
been payable under this Contract if the same had
been completed by the Contractor, then said Con-
tractor shall receive the difference. In case
such expense is greater than the sum which would
have been payable under this Contract if the same

had been completed by said Contractor, then the
Contractor or his Surety shall pay the amount of
such excess to the Owner.
b. The Owner under sealed bids, after 14 days notice
published two or more times in a newspaper having
a general circulation in the county of location of
the work, may let the contract for the completion
of the work under substantially the same terms and
conditions which are provided in this Contract.
In case of any increase in cost to the Owner under
the new contract as compared to what would have
been the cost under this Contract such increase
shall be charged to the Contractor, and the Surety
shall be and remain bound therefor. However,
should the cost to complete any such new contract
prove to be less than what would have been the
cost to complete under this Contract, the Contrac-
tor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
8.04 Final Acceptance. When the work has been completed
the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and
a Contract Completion Certificate as hereinafter pro-
vided shall be issued. A complete itemized statement
of the Contract accounts certified by the Engineer as
being correct shall then be prepared and delivered to
the Contractor and his Surety, whereupon the Contrac-
tor, his Surety or the Owner, as the case may be,
shall pay the balance due as reflected by said state-
ment within 15 days after the date of such Contract
Completion Certificate.
8.05 Disposition of Contractor's Equipment. In the event
the statement of accounts shows that the cost to com-
plete the work is less than that which would have been
the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by
the Contractor under the terms of this Contract or
when the Contractor or his Surety pay the balance
shown to be due by them to the Owner, then all machin-
ery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies left on
the site of the work shall be turned over to the Con-
tractor or his Surety. Should the cost to complete
the work exceed the contract price, and the Contractor
or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the Owner
within the time designated hereinabove, and there re-
mains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or
supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof to-
gether with an itemized list of such equipment and
materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and his
Surety at the respective addresses designated in this
GC -22
Contract; provided, however, that actual written
notice given in any manner will satisfy this condi-
tion. After mailing or other giving of such notice
such property shall be held by the Owner at the risk
of the Contractor and his Surety subject only to the
duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect
such property. After 15 days from the date of said
notice the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment,
tools, materials, or supplies and apply the net sum
derived from such sale to the credit of the Contractor
and his Surety. Such sale may be made at either pub-
lic or private sale, with or without notice, as the
Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any machin-
ery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which
remain on the work and belong to persons other than
the Contractor or his Surety to their proper owners.
9. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
9.01 Character of Measurements. No extra or customary
measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the
actual length, area, solid contents, number, and
weight only shall be considered unless otherwise spe-
cifically provided.
9.02 Estimated vs. Actual Quantities. Any and all estimat-
ed quantities stipulated in the proposal form under
unit price items are approximate and are to be used
only (a) as a basis for estimating the probable cost
of the work and (b) for the purpose of comparing the
proposals submitted for the work. It is understood
and agreed that the actual amounts of work done and
materials furnished under unit price items may differ
from such estimated quantities and that the basis of
payment for such work and materials shall be for the
actual amount of such work done and the actual quan-
tity of materials furnished.
The Contractor agrees that he will make no claim for
damages, anticipated profits, or otherwise on account
of any difference between the amounts of work actually
performed and materials actually furnished and the
amounts estimated therefor in the proposal or other
Contract Documents; provided, however, that if the
actual quantity of any item should become as much as
25 percent more than or 25 percent less than the esti-
mated or contemplated quantity for such items, then
either party to this Contract shall be entitled upon
demand to a revised consideration on the portion of
GC -23
the work above or below 25 percent of the estimated
quantity prior to initiating work or furnishing mater-
ials for the overrun or underrun quantities. Such re-
vised consideration shall be determined by agreement
between the parties or otherwise by the terms of this
Contract as provided under Section 2.12 entitled
"Extra Work ".
9.03 Payment. In consideration of the furnishing of all
the necessary labor, equipment, and material and the
completion of all work by the Contractor, and on the
completion of all work and the delivery of all mater-
ial embraced in this Contract in full conformity with
the specifications and stipulations contained herein,
the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the amounts set
forth in the Proposal attached hereto which has been
made a part of this Contract. The Contractor hereby
agrees to receive such amounts in full payment for
furnishing all material and all labor required for the
aforesaid work, for all expense incurred by him, and
for well and truly performing the same and the whole
thereof in the manner and according to this Contract,
the attached specifications, and requirements of the
Engineer.
9.04 Monthly Estimates and Payments. On or about the fifth
day of each month the Engineer will make an approxi-
mate estimate of the value of work done in conformity
with the plans and specifications during the previous
calendar month. The Contractor shall furnish to the
Engineer such detailed information as he may request
to aid him as a guide in the preparation of monthly
estimates. After each such estimate shall have been
approved by the Owner, the Owner shall pay to the Con-
tractor 90 percent of the amount of such estimated sum
on or before the 15th day of said month.
It is understood, however, that in case the whole work
is near to completion and some unexpected or unusual
delay occurs due to no fault or neglect on the part of
the Contractor, the Owner may, upon written recommen-
dation of the Engineer, pay a reasonable and equitable
portion of the retained percentage to the Contractor.
9.05 _Certificates of Completion. Within 10 days after the
- has given the Engineer notice that the work
has been completed the Engineer shall inspect the work
and satisfy himself by examination and test that the
work has been finally and fully completed in accor-
dance with the plans, specifications and Contract. If
GC -24
so, the Engineer shall issue a Contract Completion
Certificate to the Owner and the Contractor. Such
certificate when issued shall constitute final accep-
tance of the work covered under this Contract.
9.06 Final Estimate and Payment. After the Contract Com-
pletion Certificate has been issued the Engineer shall
proceed to make final measurements and to prepare a
final estimate of the work done and materials furnish-
ed under this Contract and the value thereof. The
Engineer shall certify the Final Estimate and submit
it to the Owner within five (5) days from the date of
the Contract Completion Certificate.
The Owner shall pay the Contractor within 15 days from
the date of the Contract Completion Certificate the
entire sum shown due on the certified Final Estimate
prepared by the Engineer after deducting all amounts
to be kept and retained under any provision of this
Contract. However, it is to be specifically under-
stood that the final payment will not be paid by the
Owner to the Contractor under any circumstances until
the Notarized Affidavit required by Section 9.07 en-
titled "Notarized Affidavit ", has been submitted to
the Engineer.
All prior estimates and payments shall be subject to
correction in the final estimate and payment; but in
the absence of error or manifest mistake, it is agreed
that all estimates, when approved by the Owner, shall
be conclusive evidence of the work done and materials
furnished.
9.07 Notarized Affidavit. Before final payment for the
work by the Owner the Contractor shall submit to the
Engineer a notarized affidavit in duplicate stating
under oath that all subcontractors, vendors, and other
persons or firms who have furnished or performed labor
or furnished materials for the work have been fully
paid or satisfactorily secured. Such affidavit shall
bear or be accompanied by a statement, signed by the
Surety Company who provided the performance bond for
the work, to the effect that said Surety Company con-
sents to final payment to the Contractor being made by
the Owner.
9.08 Release of Liability. The acceptance by the Contrac-
tor of the last payment shall operate as and shall be
a release to the Owner and every officer and agent
thereof from all claims and liability hereunder for
anything done or furnished for or relating to the work
or for any act or neglect of the Owner or of any per-
son relating to or affecting the work.
GC -25
9.09 Contractor's Obligation. Neither the Contract Comple-
tion Certificate nor the final payment nor any provi-
sion in the Contract Documents shall relieve the Con-
tractor of the obligation for fulfillment of any war-
ranty which may be required in the Contract Docu-
ments.
9.10 Payments Withheld. The Owner may, on account of sub-
sequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the
whole or part of any payment to such extent as may be
necessary to protect himself from loss on account of:
a. Defective work not remedied.
b. Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating
probable filing of claims.
c. Failure of the Contractor to make payments proper-
ly to subcontractors or for material or labor.
d. Damage to another contractor.
When the above grounds are removed or the Contractor
provides a Surety Bond satisfactory to the Owner,
which will protect the Owner in the amount withheld,
payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of
them.

Lime Treatment for Materials in Place
203.1 Description
This item shall consist of treating the subgrade, existing
subbase or existing base by the pulverizing, addition of lime,
mixing and compacting the mixed material to the required density.
This item applies to natural ground, embankment, or existing pave-
ment structure and shall be constructed as specified herein and in
conformity with the typical sections, lines and grades as shown on
the plans and as established by the Engineer.
203.2 Materials
1. "Hydrated Lime and Lime Slurry" named or referred to in
this item shall meet and be the same as the types and grades spe-
cified in the State Department of Highways and Public Transporta-
tion, Item 264, entitled "Hydrated Lime and Lime Slurry" from
their 1972 Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways,
Streets and Bridges.
2. When Type B, Commercial Lime Slurry, is specified, the
Contractor shall select, prior to construction, the grade to be
used and shall notify the Engineer in writing before changing from
one grade to another.
3. If the minimum design strength or the percent of lime
to be used for the treated subgrade, existing subbase or existing
base is specified, preliminary tests for substantiation shall be
performed in accordance with SDHPT Test Method Tex - 121 -E. In no
case shall the amount of lime used in construction be less than
that recommended in Fig. 3 of that test method, but may be more
depending on Tex -121 -E test results.
4. It is the intent of this specification that the sub-
grade soil, subbase or existing base which is to be lime stabiliz-
ed, be substantially free of organic matter such as concentrations
of weeds, grass, leaves, rotting wood and other such organic mat-
ter deleterious to all kinds of soil stabilization, be removed,
wasted and not included in the pavement sections or in the second-
ary subgrade.
203.3 Equipment
1. The machinery, tools and equipment necessary for proper
prosecution of the work shall be on the project and approved by
the Engineer prior to the beginning of construction operations.

manufacturer's certified weight. Bags varying more than 5 percent
from the weight may be rejected and the average weight of bags in
any shipment, as shown by weighing 50 bags taken at random, shall
not be less than the manufacturer's certified weight.
203.4 Construction Methods
1. General - It is the primary requirement of this speci-
fication to secure a completed course of treated material contain-
ing a uniform lime mixture free from loose or segregated areas, of
uniform density and moisture content, well bound for its full
depth and with a smooth surface suitable for placing subsequent
courses. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to reg-
ulate the sequence of his work, to use the proper amount of lime,
maintain the work and rework the courses as necessary to meet the
above requirements.
The street subgrade shall be constructed and shaped to con-
form to the typical sections, lines and grades as shown on the
plans or as established by the Engineer. The material, either
before or after lime is added, shall be excavated to the secondary
grade (proposed bottom of lime treatment) and removed or windrowed
to expose the secondary grade. The secondary grade shall be scar-
ified for a minimum depth of 6 inches. The scarified material
shall be pulverized, wetted, mixed and compacted in lifts not to
exceed 4 inches in thickness and when finished, shall conform to
the sections, lines and grades as shown on the plans or as estab-
lished by the Engineer. The moisture content of the compacted
subgrade at the time of compaction shall not be more than two per-
centage points below the optimum moisture content for the raw soil
as determined by SDHPT Test Method Tex - 113 -E. The dry density of
the compacted subgrade shall not be more than 102% nor less than
95% of the dry density of the raw soil as determined by SDHPT Test
Method Tex - 113 -E. The moisture content of clay subgrade soils in
the compacted secondary subgrade shall be maintained within + 4

percent of its compaction moisture content until covered by subse-
quent layers of material unless otherwise-approved by the Engi-
neer. Should wet or unstable areas develop in the secondary sub -
grade immediately prior to lime treatment of subgrade layers, the
unstable materials below the secondary subgrade shall be correct
ed, as directed by the Engineer, by scarifying, adding lime and
compacting until it is of uniform stability.
If the contractor elects to use a cutting and pulverizing
machine that will remove the subgrade material accurately to the
secondary grade and pulverize the material at the same time, there
shall be no lessening of the requirement of exposing the secondary
grade material and treatment as set forth above. The contractor
may further elect to use the cutting and pulverizing machine to
process the secondary grade material to a minimum depth of 6 inch-
es. When cutting, pulverizing machines are used, the contractor
may, when approved by the Engineer, elect to compact the secondary
subgrade material in one lift; however, there shall be no lessen-
ing of moisture - density requirements, or maintenance of same as
set forth above. This method will be permitted
machine is provided which will insure that the material is cut
uniformly to the proper depth and which has cutters that will
plane the secondary grade to a smooth surface over the entire
width of the cut. The machine shall be of such design that a
visible indication is given at all times that the machine is cut-
ting to the proper depth.
2. Application - Lime shall be spread only on the area
where the first mixing operations can be completed during the same
working day.
The application and mixing of lime with the material shall
be accomplished by the method hereinafter described as "Dry Plac-
ing" or "Slurry Placing".
(a) Dry Placing (When approved by the Engineer)
The lime shall be spread by an approved spreader or by
bag distribution at the rates shown on the plans or as directed by
the Engineer.
The lime shall be distributed at a uniform rate and in
such manner as to reduce the scattering no c lime itbynwindntoha a inn-
mum. Lime shall not be applied
ion of the Engineer, are such that blowing lime becomes objection-
able to traffic or adjacent property owners. A motor grader will
not be used to spread the lime.
The materials shall be sprinkled as directed by
Engineer, until the proper moisture content has been secured.

(b) Slurry Placing
The lime shall be mixed with water in trucks with
approved distributors and applied as a thin water suspension or
slurry. The distribution of lime at the rates shown on the plans
or as directed by the Engineer, shall be attained by successive
passes over a measured section of roadway until the proper mois-
ture and lime content has been secured. The distributor truck
shall be equipped with an agitator which will keep the lime and
water in a uniform mixture.
3. Mixing - The mixing procedure shall be the same for
"Dry Placing" or "Slurry Placing" as hereinafter described:
(a) First Mixing
The material and lime shall be thoroughly mixed by
approved road mixers or other approved equipment, and the mixing
continued until, in the opinion of the Engineer, a homogeneous,
friable mixture of material and lime is obtained, free from all
clods or lumps. Materials containing plastic clays or other
material which will not readily mix with lime shall be mixed as
thoroughly as possible at the time of the lime application,
brought to the proper moisture content and left to cure 1 to 4
days as directed by the Engineer. During the curing period, the
material shall be kept moist as directed.
(b) Final Mixing
After the required curing time, the material shall be
uniformly mixed by approved methods. If the soil binder -lime mix-
ture contains clods, they shall be reduced in size by raking,
blading, discing, harrowing, scarifying or the use of other ap-
proved pulverization methods so that when all nonslaking aggre-
gates retained on the No. 4 sieve are removed, the remainder of
the material shall meet the following requirements when tested dry
by laboratory sieves:
Percent
Minimum Passing 1 -3/4" Sieve 100
Minimum Passing No. 4 Sieve 60
During the interval of time between application and
mixing, hydrated lime that has been exposed to the open air for a
period of 6 hours or more or to excessive loss due to washing or
blowing will not be accepted for payment.
4. Compaction - Compaction of the mixture £hall begin im-
mediately after final mixing and in no case later than 3 calendar
days after final mixing, unless approval is obtained from the
TS -6
Engineer. The material shall be aerated or sprinkled as necessary
to provide the optimum moisture. Compaction shall begin at the
bottom and shall continue until the entire depth of mixture is
uniformly compacted.
If the total thickness of the material to be treated
cannot be mixed in one operation, the previously mixed material
shall be bladed to a windrow just beyond the area to be treated
and the next layer mixed with lime as specified in Number 3. The
first layer of the treated material shall be compacted in such a
manner that the treated material will not be mixed with the under-
lying material.
The course shall be sprinkled as required and compact-
ed to the extent necessary to provide the density specified below
as determined by the use of the compaction ratio method:
Description Density, Percent
For lime treated subgrade, existing
subbase or existing base that will
receive subsequent subbase or base
courses.
For lime treated existing subbase
or existing base that will receive
surface courses.
Not less than 95 except
when otherwise shown on
the plans.
Not less than 98 except
when otherwise shown on
the plans.
The testing will be as outlined in SDHPT Test Method
Tex -113 -E or other approved methods. In addition to the require-
ments specified for density, the full depth of the material shown
on the plans shall be compacted to the extent necessary to remain
firm and stable under construction equipment. After each section
is completed, tests as necessary will be made by the Engineer. If
the material fails to meet the density requirements, it shall be
reworked as necessary to meet these requirements. Additional lime
shall be added, at the sole expense of the contractor, when any
lime stabilized soil is reworked due to insufficient densities.
It shall be the sole responsibility of the Engineer either to
accept the reworked section or sections, or to require new Tex -
113-E moisture - density tests to determine the new density require-
ments on the then, different treated sections. Throughout this
entire operation, the shape of the course shall be maintained by
blading and the surface upon completion shall be smooth and in
conformity with the typical section shown on the plans and to the
established lines and grades. Should the material, due to any
reason or cause, lose the required stability density and finish
before the next course is placed or the work is accepted, it shall
be recompacted and refinished at the sole expense of the contrac-
tor.
TS -7
203.5 Finishing, Curing and Preparation of Surfacing
After the final layer or course of the lime treated sub -
grade, subbase or base has been compacted, it shall be brought to
the required lines and grades in accordance with the typical sec-
tions. The completed sections shall then be finished by rolling
as directed with a pneumatic tire or other suitable roller suffi-
ciently light to prevent hairline cracking. Where continued re-
shaping and rolling of lime treated materials the contractor, at
his option, may blade off and waste the top 3/4 inch of retempered
material or he may re- sprinkle with additional lime slurry and
retain the material. In any case there shall be no final reduc-
tion in section thickness due to any blading off of retempered
material. The completed section shall be moist -cured for a mini-
mum of 7 days before further courses are added or any traffic is
permitted, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. In cases
where subgrade treatment or subbase sets up sufficiently to pre-
vent objectionable damage from traffic, such layers may be opened
to traffic 2 days after compaction. If the plans provide for the
treated material to be sealed or covered by other courses of
material, such seal or course shall be applied within 14 days
after final mixing is completed, unless otherwise directed by the
Engineer.
203.6 Measurement
•
Lime treatment of the subgrade, existing subbase, and
existing base shall be measured by the square yard to neat lines
as shown on the typical sections.
When Type A, Hydrated Lime is used, the quantity of lime
will be measured by the ton of 2,000 pounds, dry weight.
When Type B, Commercial Lime Slurry is used, the quantity
of lime shall be calculated from the required minimum percent
solids based upon the use of Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3 as fol-
lows:
Grade 1: The "Dry Solids Content" shall be at least 31
percent by weight of the slurry and the quantity of lime will be
calculated by the ton of 2,000 pounds based on the 31 percent, as
delivered on the road.
Grade 2: The "Dry Solids Content" shall be at least 35
percent by weight of the slurry and the quantity of lime will be
calculated by the ton of 2,000 pounds based on the 35 percent, as
delivered on the road.
Grade 3: The "Dry Solids Content" shall be at least 46
percent by weight of the slurry and the quantity of lime will be
calculated by the ton of 2,000 pounds based on the 46 percent, as
delivered on the road.

203.7 Tolerances
The Engineer may elect to accept the work, provided that
not more than 20% of the density tests performed each day are out-
side the specified density requirement, from SDHPT Test Method
Tex -113 -E testing, by no more than 2 pounds per cubic foot and
where no two consecutive tests on continuous work are outside the
specified limits. Density tests shall be determined by SDHPT Test
Method Tex -115 -E or by other methods approved by the Engineer.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor as set
forth under "Description" and "Construction Methods" above, to
construct in accordance with the specifications herein to the
typical sections, lines and grades shown on the plans or as estab-
lished by the Engineer. Depth tests shall be made for total
thickness prior to final acceptance of the work. Thicknesses
which are within 1/4 inch of plan thicknesses shall be construed
as meeting plan thicknesses. Thicknesses deficient by more than
1/4 inch but less than 1/2 inch may be accepted by the Engineer
provided not more than any 300 linear feet of continuous work is
found to be deficient in thickness. When pavement is found to be
over 1/2 inch deficient in thickness, the contractor shall bring
the section found to be deficient, to the correct thickness by
laying hot -mix, hot -lay surfacing at his sole expense.
Coring - Thickness determinations shall be made in accord-
ance with SDHPT Test Method Tex -424 -A or other methods approved by
the Engineer.
203.8 Payment

210.4 Tolerances
The limits established reasonably close conformity with the
specified gradation and plasticity index are defined by the fol-
lowing:
The Engineer may accept the material, providing not more
than 2 out of 10 consecutive gradation tests performed are outside
TS -12
the specified time limit on any individual or combination of
sieves by no more than 5% and where no two consecutive tests are
outside the specified limit.
The Engineer may accept the material providing not more
than 2 out of 10 consecutive plasticity index samples tested are
outside the specified limit by no more than 2 points and where no
two consecutive tests are outside the specified limit.
210.5 Construction Methods
1. Preparation of Subgrade - The street shall be prepared
and shaped in conformity with the typical sections shown on plans
and to the lines and grades as established by the Engineer. Prior
to placement of any flexible base or subbase material, the sub-
grade clay soil shall be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches.
The scarified material shall be pulverized, wetted, mixed and com-
pacted in lifts not to exceed 4 inches in thickness and when
finished, shall conform to the sections, lines and grades as shown
on the plans or as established by the Engineer. The moisture con-
tent of the compacted subgrade at the time of compaction shall not
be more than two percentage points below the optimum moisture con-
tent for the raw soil as determined by SDHPT Test Method Tex -113-
E. The dry density of the compacted subgrade shall not be more
than 102% nor less than 95% of the dry density of the raw soil as
determined by SDHPT Test.
The moisture content of clay subgrade soils in the compact-
ed subgrade shall be maintained within + 4 percent of its compac-
tion moisture content until covered by subsequent layers of mater-
ial unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. The intent of this
requirement is to insure that swelling clay subgrade soils be
placed in the manner to lessen swell and heaving and then to main-
tain this condition until covered by subsequent materials. Should
wet or unstable areas develop in the subgrade just prior to place-
ment of base or subbase materials, such areas shall be corrected
as directed by the Engineer. The surface of the subgrade shall be
furnished to line and grade as established and in conformity with
the typical section shown on plans, and any deviations in excess
of 1/4 inch in cross section and in a length of 10 feet measured
longitudinally shall be corrected by loosening, adding or removing
material, reshaping and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling.
Sufficient subgrade shall be prepared in advance to insure satis-
factory prosecution of the work. Material excavated in the prep-
aration of the subgrade shall be utilized in the construction of
slopes or otherwise disposed of as directed, and any additional
material required for the completion of slopes shall be secured
from sources indicated on plans or designated by the Engineer.
Blue tops shall be set by the contractor for subgrade on center-
line, quarter points and curb lines at intervals not exceeding 50
feet.
TS -13
2. First Course - Immediately before placing the base
material, the subgrade shall be checked as to conformity with
grade and section. The thickness of each course shall not exceed
6 inches and will be equal increments of the total depth.
The material shall be delivered in approved vehicles of a
uniform capacity and it shall be the charge of the contractor that
the required amount of specified material shall be delivered in
each 100 -foot station. Material deposited upon the subgrade shall
be spread and shaped the same day unless otherwise directed by the
Engineer in writing. In the event inclement weather or other
unforeseen circumstances render impractical the spreading of the
material during the first 24 -hour period, the material shall be
scarified and spread as directed by the Engineer. The material
shall be sprinkled, if directed, and shall then be bladed, dragged
and shaped to conform to typical sections as shown on the plans.
All areas and "nests" of segregated course or fine material shall
be corrected or removed and replaced with well graded material, as
directed by the Engineer. If additional binder is considered
desirable or necessary after the material is spread and shaped, it
shall be furnished and applied in the amount directed by the Engi-
neer. Such binder material shall be carefully and evenly incor-
porated with the material in place by scarifying, harrowing,
brooming or by other approved methods.
The course shall be sprinkled as required and compacted to
the extent necessary to provide not less than the percent density
as hereinafter specified under "Density ". In addition to the
requirements specified for density, the full depth of flexible
base shown on the plans shall be compacted to the extent necessary
to remain firm and stable under construction equipment. After
each section of flexible base is completed, tests as necessary
will be made by the Engineer. If the material fails to meet the
density requirements, it shall be reworked as necessary to meet
these requirements. Throughout this entire operation, the shape
of the course shall be maintained by blading, and the surface upon
completion, shall be smooth and in conformity with the typical
section shown on the plans and to the established lines and
grades. In that area on which pavement is to be placed, any
deviation in excess of 1/4 inch in cross section and in a length
of 10 feet measured longitudinally shall be corrected by loosen-
ing, adding or removing material, reshaping and recompacting by
sprinkling and rolling. All irregularities, depressions or weak
spots which develop shall be corrected immediately by scarifying
the areas affected, adding suitable material as required, reshap-
ing and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. Should the base
course, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability,
density and finish before the surfacing is complete, it shall be
recompacted and refinished at the sole expense of the contractor.
TS -14
3. Succeeding Courses - Construction methods shall be the
same as prescribed for the first course. Blue tops shall be set
by the contractor for finished base grade on center -line and
intermediate points not exceeding 11 feet between points at 50
foot intervals.
4. Density - Each course of flexible base shall be com-
pacted to not less than 100 percent density when tested in accord-
ance with TED Test Method TEX- 113 -E. Field density determination
shall be made in accordance with approved methods.
210.6 Measurement
"Flexible Base" will be measured by the square yard at
depths specified in the proposal for the area of street as shown
on the typical sections of the plans or otherwise provided for in
the contract documents, complete in place; by the cubic yard,

b. Obtain samples and cores of subsurface materials for laboratory
analysis.
c. Observe groundwater conditions at the site.
2. Samples of subsurface materials were analyzed in the laboratory by:
a. Visual examination and cl
b. Atterberg Limits Tests.
c. Pocket Penetrometer Tests.
3. The information obtained by subsurface exploration and laboratory
testing was used to establish recommendations regarding the design
and construction of the project's features that will be effected by
subsurface materials and conditions. Details and results of the
exploration are discussed in the following paragraphs.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION:
Subsurface materials at the site were explored by ten (10) soil borings
to depths of approximately six (6) feet below the existing ground surface.
Samples of cohesive soils were obtained at various depths in the
borings. All samples were extracted and visually classified in the field,
identified according to boring number and depth, and placed in polyethylene
bags and transported to the laboratory for further study.
LABORATORY TESTING:
All samples and cores of subsurface materials from the borings were
classified in the laboratory. Pocket Penetrometer Tests and Atterberg Limits
Tests were performed on selected samples to establish index properties and
to aid in the proper classification of the materials. Results of the classi-
fication tests are included in this report.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS:
The soil conditions varied considerable over the site. Beginning at
Station 0 +00 (IH -35 Frontage Road) and moving to Station 6 +00, brown and tan
silty clays are found overlying tan and blue limestone. From Station 6 +00 to
37 +00 black, brown and tan silty clays are found on the surface ranging from
one (1) to seven (7) feet below the existing grade. In several of the bor-
ings intermittent layers of limestone rock and limestone fragments were
found. At Stations 12 +75 and 15 +00 red and tan silty clay with gravel was
encountered. The varous silty clay soils are low to moderate in plasticity
with Liquid Limits ranging from 43% to 66 %. Plasticity Index of the clays
vary from 15 to 37. All borings were dry upon completion of the drilling
operation.
PAVEMENT DESIGN:
The results of the field and laboratory tests were compared with
results of similar tests that have been performed in connection with the
Texas Highway Department triaxial compression tests. This comparison was
made in order to select the typical maximum THD triaxial compression
classification for the subgrade materials in the area. The black clay
material was considered for our design. The THD triaxial classification for
the soil is the following.
Subgrade Material THD Classification
Black and brown silty clay 5.4
The pavement thickness for the subgrade materials and for typical
pavement widths of sixty (60) feet were determined using THD Classification
of soils and pavement design curves for residential traffic. Recommendations
for two (2) sections of the proposed street are listed below.

Crushed Limestone Base Material 8 inches
Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete 1 -1/2 inches
Lime Stabilization 6 inches
Section 0 +00 to 6 +00:
Residential Collector
Materials Thickness
Crushed Limestone Base 8 inches
Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete 1 - 1/2 inches
Section 0 +00 to 6 +00 requires the removal of all organic clays from the
surface and the subgrade compacted at a depth of eighteen (18) inches to
100% of Standard Proctor Density.
PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS:
Pavement should be constructed and tested to meet the following
requirements:
1. Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete Surface - All materials shall be subject
to the approval of the engineer when tested in accordance with the
specifications and test methods outlined in THD Bulletin C-14.
• 2. Crushed Limestone Base - The crushed limestone base should be
obtained from an approved source and shall be free of all deleteri-
ous materials. The crushed stone base shall be compacted to a
4

P. O. SOX 3999. AUSTIN. TX
REMARKS:
density equal to at least 100% of the maximum dry density as deter-
mined by THD test method TEX- 113 -E.
3. Compacted Subgrade - The top eight (8) inches of soils should be
undercut and discarded. The exposed subgrade should be prepared by
removing all roots, soft materials and then the upper six (6) inches
should be lime stabilized by using 4% hydrated lime, by weight,
thoroughly scarified into existing soils and compacted to a density
equal to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined in
accordance with THD test method TEX- 113 -E.
4. Compacted Embankments - Street embankments should be graded and
shaped for good drainage and should be compacted to a density equal
to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined in accord-
ance with THD test mehtod TEX- 113 -E.
5. The street shall be crowned for rapid run -off. The base material
should extend at least twelve (12) inches behind the curb line where
possible.
This report has been prepared in order to aid in the evaluation of this
property and to assist the architect and engineer in the design of the proj-
ect. It is intended for use with regard to specific projects discussed in
general herein and any substantial changes in locations or grades should be
brought to our attention so that we may determine ho this may affect our
conclusions. If during the proposed construction, the soil strata are found
to differ from that reported here, we should be notified immediately. The
procedures, tests and recommendations of this investigation and report have
5

been conducted and furnished in accordance with generally accepted profes-
sional engineering practices in the field of foundations, engineering soil
mechanics and engineering geology. No other warranty is either expressed or
implied.
