2. Responsibilities of the Engineer and the Contractor
2.01 Owner- Engineer Relationship
The Engineer will be the Owner's representative during construction. The duties,
responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Engineer as the Owner's representative
during construction are as set forth in the Contract Documents and shall not be extended
or limited without written consent of the Owner and Engineer. The Engineer will advise
and consult with the Owner, and all of Owner's instructions to the Contractor shall be
issued through the Engineer.
2.02 Professional Inspection by Engineer
1 The Engineer shall make periodic visits to the site to familiarize himself generally with
the progress of the executed work and to determine if such work generally meets the
essential performance and design features and the technical and functional engineering
1 requirements of the Contract Documents; provided and except, however, that the
Engineer shall not be responsible for making any detailed, exhaustive, comprehensive or
continuous on -site inspection of the quality or quantity of the work or be in any way
' responsible, directly or indirectly, for the construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences, quality, procedures, programs, safety precautions or lack of same incident
thereto or in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
1 agreement or any other Contract Document, the Engineer shall not be in any way
responsible or liable for any acts, errors, omissions or negligence of the Contractor, any
Subcontractor or any of the Contractor's or Subcontractor's agents, servants or
1 employees or any other person, firm or corporation performing or attempting to perform
any of the work.
2.03 Payments for Work
1 The Engineer shall review Contractor's applications for payment and supporting data,
determine the amount owed to the Contractor and recommend, in writing, payment to
Contractor in such amounts; such recommendation of payment to Contractor constitutes
1 a representation to the Owner of Engineer's professional judgement that the work has
progressed to the point indicated to the best of his knowledge, information and belief,
but such recommendation of an application for payment to Contractor shall not be
1 deemed as a representation by Engineer that Engineer has made any examination to
determine how or for what purpose Contractor has used the moneys paid on account of
the Contract price.

2.04 Initial Determinations
The Engineer initially shall determine all claims, disputes and other matters in question
between the Contractor and the Owner relating to the execution or progress of the work
or the interpretation of the Contract Documents and the Engineer's decision shall be
rendered in writing within a reasonable time, which shall not be construed to be less than
ten (10) days. Appeal to arbitration upon mutual agreement may be taken as if his
decision had been rendered against the party appealing.
2.05 Objections
;mcoud.msNspec
In the event the Engineer renders any decision 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 thirty (30) days his written objection to the decision, and
by such action may reserve the right to submit the question so raised to arbitration as
hereinafter provided.
2.06 Lines and Grades
Unless otherwise specified, all lines and grades shall be furnished by the Engineer or his
representative. Whenever necessary, construction 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 Contractor, and in case of
careless destruction or removal by him or his employees, such stakes, marks, etc., shall
be replaced at the Contractor's expense.
2.07 Contractor's Duty and Superintendence
The Contractor shall give adequate attention to the faithful prosecution and completion
of this contract and shall keep on the work, during its progress, a competent English -
speaking superintendent and any necessary assistants to supervise and direct the work.
The superintendent shall represent the Contractor in his absence and all directions given
to him shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor.
The Contractor is and at all times shall remain an independent contractor, solely
responsible for the manner and method of completing his work under this contract, with
full power and authority to select the means, method and manner of performing such
work, so long as such methods do not adversely affect the completed improvements, the
Owner and Engineer being interested only in the result obtained and conformity of such
completed improvements to the plans, specifications and contract.
Likewise, the Contractor shall be solely responsible for the safety of himself, his
GC -7
employees and other persons, as well as for the protection and safety of the
improvements being erected and the property of himself or any other person, as a result
of his operations hereunder. Engineering construction drawings and specifications as
well as any additional information concerning the work to be performed passing from or
through the Engineer shall not be interpreted as requiring or allowing Contractor to
deviate from the plans and specifications, the intent of such drawings, specifications and
any other such information being to define with specificity the agreement of the parties
as to the work the Contractor is to perform. Contractor shall be fully and completely
liable, at his own expense, for design, construction, installation and use, or non -use of
all items and methods incident to performance of the contract, and for all loss, damage
or injury incident thereto, either to person or property, including, without limitation, the
adequacy of all temporary supports, shoring, bracing, scaffolding, machinery or
equipment, safety precautions or devices, and similar items or devices used by him
during construction.
Any review of work in process, or any visit or observation during construction, or any
clarification of plans and specifications, by the Engineer or Owner, or any agent,
employee, or representative of either of them, whether through personal observation on
the project site or by means of approval of shop drawings for temporary construction or
construction processes, or by other means or method, is agreed by the Contractor to be
for the purpose of observing the extent and nature of work completed or being
performed, as measured against the drawings and specifications constituting the contract,
or for the purpose of enabling Contractor to more fully understand the plans and
specifications so that the completed construction work will conform thereto, and shall in
no way relieve the Contractor from full and complete responsibility for the proper
performance of his work on the project, including but not limited to the propriety of
means and methods of the Contractor in performing said contract, and the adequacy of
any designs, plans or other facilities for accomplishing such performance. Deviation by
the Contractor from plans and specifications that may have been in evidence during any
such visitation or observation by the Engineer, or any of his representatives, whether
called to the contractor's attention or not shall in no way relieve Contractor from his
responsibility to complete all work in accordance with said plans and specifications.
2.08 Contractor's Understanding
gmcand.msdapcc
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examination, satisfied
himself as to the nature and location of the work, the conformation of the ground, the
character, quality and quantity of the materials to be encountered, 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 effect the
work under this contract. The Contractor agrees that he will make no claim against the
Owner or the Engineer if, in the prosecution of the work, he finds that the actual site or
subsurface conditions encountered do not conform to those indicated by excavation, test
excavation, test procedures, borings, explorations or other subsurface excavations. No
GC -8
verbal agreement or conversation with any officer, agent or employee of the Owner or
Engineer either before or after the execution of this contract, shall affect or modify any
of the terms or obligations herein contained.
2.09 Character of Workers
The Contractor agrees to employ only orderly and competent workers, skillful in the
performance of the type of work required under this contract, to do the work; and agrees
that whenever the Engineer shall inform him in writing that any workers on the work
are, in his opinion, incompetent, unfaithful or disorderly, or refuse instructions from the
Engineer in the absence of the Superintendent, such worker shall be discharged from the
work and shall not again be employed on the work without the Engineer's written
consent. No illegal alien may be employed by any Contractor for work on this project,
and a penalty of $500.00 per day will be assessed for each day and for each illegal alien
who works for the Contractor at this project.
2.10 Contractor's Buildings
The building of structures for housing workers, or the erection of tents or other forms
of protection, will be permitted only at such places as the Engineer shall direct, and the
sanitary conditions of the grounds in or about such structures shall at all times be
maintained in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.
2.11 Sanitation
Necessary sanitary conveniences for the use of laborers on the work, properly secluded
from public observation, shall be constructed and maintained by the Contractor in such
manner and at such points as shall be approved by the Engineer, and their use shall be
strictly enforced.
2.12 Shop Drawings
The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, with such promptness as to cause no delay
in his own work or in that of any other Contractor, four (4) checked copies, unless
otherwise specified, of all shop and /or setting drawings and schedules required for the
work of the various trades, and the Engineer shall pass upon them with reasonable
promptness, making desired corrections. The Contractor shall make any corrections
required by the Engineer, file with him two (2) corrected copies and furnish such other
copies as may be needed. The Engineer's review of such drawings or schedules shall
not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for deviations from drawings or
specifications, unless he has in writing called the Engineer's attention to such deviations
at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him from responsibility for errors of any
sort in shop drawings or schedules. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to fully
and completely review all shop drawings to ascertain their effect on his ability to perform
GC -9
the required contract work in accordance with the plans and specifications and within the
contract time.
Such review by the Engineer shall be for the sole purpose of determining the general
conformity of said shop drawings or schedules to result in finished improvements in
conformity with the plans and specifications, and shall not relieve the Contractor of his
duty as an independent contractor as previously set forth, it being expressly understood
and agreed that the Engineer does not assume any duty to pass upon the propriety or
adequacy of such drawings or schedules, or any means or methods reflected thereby, in
relation to the safety of either person or property during Contractor's performance
hereunder.
2.13 Preliminary Approval
The Engineer shall not have the 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 to discover, object to or condemn any defective work or
material shall release the Contractor from the obligations to fully and properly perform
the contract, including without limitations, 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 shall, upon request of
the Contractor, inspect and accept or reject any material furnished, and in event the
material has been once accepted by the Engineer, such acceptance shall be binding on the
Owner, unless it can be clearly shown that such material furnished does not meet the
specifications for this 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 accordance with the plans and /or
specifications for said work, all expense of removing, re- examination and replacement
shall be borne by the Contractor, otherwise the expense thus incurred shall be allowed
as Extra Work, and shall be paid for by the Owner; provided that, where inspection or
approval is specifically required by the specifications prior to performance of certain
work, should the Contractor proceed with such work without requesting prior inspection
or approval he shall bear all expense of taking up, removing, and replacing this work if
so directed by the Engineer.
2.14 Defects and Their Remedies
goad mstlapx
It is further agreed that if the work or any part thereof, or any material brought on the
site of the work for use in the work or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the
Engineer as unsuitable or not in conformity with the plans, specifications, or the intent
thereof, the Contractor shall after receipt of written notice thereof from the Engineer,
forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such work so that it
GC -10
shall be in full accordance with this contract.
2.15 Changes and Alterations
gcocond.msUspec
The Contractor further agrees that the Owner 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
Performance and Payment Bonds.
If such changes or alterations 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, except as provided for unit price items under Section 5 "Measurement
and Payment ". If the amount of work is increased, and the 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, if any, established for such work under this contract, except
as provided for unit price items under Section 5 "Measurement and Payment "; otherwise,
such additional work shall be paid for as provided under Extra Work. In case the Owner
shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already done or
material already furnished or used in said work, then the Owner shall recompense the
Contractor for any material or labor so used, and for any actual loss occasioned by such
change, due to actual expense incurred in preparation for the work as originally planned.
2.16 Inspectors
The Engineer may provide one (or more) field inspectors at the work site for the limited
purpose of observing the work in progress and reporting back to the Engineer on the
extent, nature, manner and performance of the work so that the Engineer may more
effectively perform his duties hereunder. Such inspectors may also communicate between
Engineer and Contractor their respective reports, opinions, questions, answers and
clarifications concerning the plans, specifications and work but shall be deemed the agent
of the Contractor for all purposes in communicating such matters.
Such inspector may confer with the Contractor or Contractor's superintendent concerning
the prosecution of the work and its conformity with the plans and specifications but shall
never be, in whole or part, responsible for, charged with, nor shall he assume, any
authority or responsibility for the means, methods or manner of completing the work or
of the superintendence of the work or of the Contractor's employees. It is expressly
understood and agreed that any such inspector is not authorized by the Engineer or
Owner to independently act for either or answer on behalf of either, any inquiries of the
Contractor concerning the plans, specifications or work. No inspector's opinion; advice;
interpretation of the plans or specifications of this contract; apparent or express approval
of the means, methods or manner of Contractor's performance of work in progress or
completed; or discovery or failure to discover or object to defective work of materials
GC -11
eeacood.mau,pcc
shall release Contractor from his duty to complete all work in strict accordance with the
plans and specifications or stop the Owner or Engineer from requiring that all work be
fully and properly performed including, if necessary, removal of defective or otherwise
unacceptable work and the re -doing of such work.
3. General Obligations and Responsibilities
3.01 Keeping of Plans and Specifications Accessible
The Engineer shall furnish the Contractor with an adequate and reasonable number of
copies of all plans and specifications without expense to him and the Contractor shall
keep one (1) copy of the same constantly accessible on the work, with the latest revisions
noted thereon.
3.02 Ownership of Drawings
All drawings, specifications and copies thereof furnished by the Engineer shall not be
reused on other work, and, with the exception of the signed contract sets, are to be
returned to him on request, at the completion of the work. All models are the property
of the Owner.
3.03 Adequacy of Design
It is understood that the Owner believes it has employed competent engineers and
designers. It is therefore agreed that the Owner shall be responsible for the adequacy of
the design, sufficiency of the Contract Documents, the safety of the structure and the
practicability of the operations of the completed project; provided the Contractor has
complied with the requirements of the said Contract Documents, all approved
modifications thereof, and additions 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 complied with the said requirements of the Contract Documents, approved
modification thereof and all approved additions and alterations thereto.
3.04 Right of Entry
The Owner reserves the right to enter the property or location of which the works herein
contracted for are to be constructed or installed, by such agent or agents as he may elect,
for the purpose of inspecting the work, or for the purpose of constructing or installing
such collateral work as said Owner may desire.
GC -12

3.05 Collateral Contracts
The Owner agrees to provide by separate contract or otherwise, all labor and material
' essential to the completion of the work specifically excluded from this contract, in such
manner as not to delay the progress of the work, or damage said Contractor, except
where such delays are specifically mentioned elsewhere in the Contract Documents. The
Owner will attempt to coordinate the collateral work of utility companies regulated by
City franchises, but the City shall not be responsible for delays or other damages to the
' Contractor which may result from their acts or omissions.
3.06 Discrepancies and Omissions
1 The Contractor shall provide written notice to the Engineer of any omissions or
discrepancies found in the contract. 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 accordance with
the generally accepted practice for construction, and in the event of any discrepancies
between the separate contract documents, the priority of interpretation defined 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, specifications or drawings, the
Engineer shall define which is intended to apply to the work.
1 3.07 Equipment, Materials and Construction Plant
The Contractor shall be responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, and
protection of all materials, supplies, machinery, equipment, tools, apparatus, accessories,
facilities, all means of construction, and any and all parts of the work, whether the
Contractor has been paid, partially paid, or not paid for such work, until the entire work
is completed and accepted.

GC -18
conformance with the plans and specifications included in this contract for a period of
one year from the date of acceptance of the project. Said warranty binds the contractor

specifications. For manufactured materials such as reinforcing steel, expansion joint
materials, concrete pipe, cement, miscellaneous steel, cast iron materials, etc., the
Contractor will be required to furnish a manufacturer's certificate stating that the material
meets the requirements specified for this project.
4. Prosecution and Progress
4.01 Time and Order of Completion
gcacond.mst/spec
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
seasons, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conducive to
economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and the time of prosecution
shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in
accordance with this contract, the plans and specifications, and within the time of
completion designated in the Proposal: provided, also, that when the Owner is having
other work done, either by contract or by his own force, the Engineer may direct the
time and manner of constructing the work done under this contract, so that conflict will
be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the Owner shall be
harmonized.
GC -19
The Contractor shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the
Engineer, schedules which shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to
carry on the Work, with dates at which the Contractor will start the several parts of the
work, and estimated dates of completion of the several parts.
4.02 Extension of Time
Should the Contractor be delayed in the completion of the work by any act or neglect of
the Owner or Engineer, or of any employee of either, or by other contractors employed
by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strikes, lockouts, fires, and
unusual delays by common carriers, or unavoidable cause or causes beyond the
Contractor's control, or by any cause which the Engineer shall decide justifies the delay,
then an extension of time shall be allowed for completing the work, sufficient to
compensate for the delay, the amount of the extension to be determined by the Engineer,
provided, however, that the Contractor shall give the Engineer prompt notice in writing
of the cause of such delay. Adverse weather conditions will not be justification for
extension of time on "Calendar Days" contracts.
4.03 Hindrances and Delays
geacoad.msUspec
No claims shall be made by the Contractor for damages resulting from hindrances or
delays from any cause (except where the work is stopped by order of and for the
convenience of the Owner) during the progress of any portion of the work embraced in
this contract. In case said work shall be stopped by the act of the Owner, then such
expense as in the judgment of the Engineer is caused by such stoppage of said work shall
be paid by the Owner to the Contractor.
5. Measurement and Payment
5.01 Quantities and Measurements
No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual
measured and /or computed length, area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be
considered, unless otherwise specifically provided.
5.02 Estimated Quantities
This agreement, including the specifications, plans and estimate, is intended to show
clearly all work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated
quantities are shown for the various classes of work to be done and material to be
furnished under this contract, they are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for
estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing the proposals offered for the
GC -20
geacond.msthiptc
work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and
material to be furnished under this contract may differ somewhat from these estimates,
and that where the basis for payment under this contract is the unit price method,
payment shall be for the actual amount of such work done and material furnished.
Where payment is based on the unit price method, the Contractor agrees that he will
make no claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise on account of any
differences which may be found between the quantities of work actually done, the
material actually furnished under this contract and the estimated quantities contemplated
and contained in the proposal; provided, however, that in case the actual quantity of any
major item should become as much as 20% more than, or 20% less than the estimated
or contemplated quantity for such items, then either party to this Agreement, upon
demand, shall be entitled to revised consideration upon the portion of the work above or
below 20% of the estimated quantity.
A "Major Item" shall be construed to be any individual bid item incurred in the proposal
that has a total cost equal to or greater that five (5) percent of the total contract cost,
computed on the basis of the proposal quantities and the contract unit prices.
Any revised consideration is to be determined by agreement between the parties,
otherwise by the terms of this Agreement, as provided under "Extra Work ".
5.03 Price of Work
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 on
the delivery of all material embraced in this Contract in full conformity with the
specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor
the prices set forth in the Proposal hereto attached, which has been made a part of this
contract. The Contractor hereby agrees to receive such prices in full for furnishing all
material and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also 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 Agreement.
5.04 Partial Payments
On or before the 1st day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a
statement showing the total value of the work performed up to and including the 25th day
of the preceding month. The statement shall also include the value of all sound materials
delivered on the job site and to be included in the work and all partially completed work
whether bid as a lump sum or a unit item which in the opinion of the Engineer is
acceptable. The Engineer shall examine and approve or modify and approve such
statement.
GC -21
genco"d oast/spec
The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the 20th day of the current month
the total amount of the approved statement, less 10 percent of the amount thereof, which
10 percent shall be retained until final payment, and further less all previous payments
and all further sums that may by retained by the Owner under the terms of this
Agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to
completion and some unexpected and unusual delay occurs due to no fault or neglect on
the part of the Contractor, and Owner may - upon written recommendation of the
Engineer - pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage to the
Contractor; or the Contractor at the Owner's option, may be relieved of the obligation
to fully complete the work and, thereupon, the Contractor shall receive payment of the
balance due him under the contract subject only to the conditions stated under "Final
Payment ".
5.05 Use of Completed Portions
The Owner shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially
completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work
or such portions may not have expired but such taking possession and use shall not be
deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the Contract
Documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor
shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time, or both, as the
Engineer may determine.
The Contractor shall notify the Engineer when, in the Contractor's opinion, the contract
is "substantially completed" and when so notifying the Engineer, the Contractor shall
furnish to the Engineer in writing a detailed list of unfinished work. The Engineer will
review the Contractor's list of unfinished work and will add thereto such items as the
Contractor has failed to include. The "substantial completion" of the structure or facility
shall not excuse the Contractor from performing all of the work undertaken, whether of
a minor or major nature, and thereby completing the structure or facility in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
5.06 Final Completion and Acceptance
Within ten (10) days after the Contractor has given the Engineer written notice that the
work has been completed, or substantially completed, the Engineer and the Owner shall
inspect the work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed in
accordance with the Contact Documents, the Engineer shall issue to the Owner and the
Contractor his Certificate of Completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Owner
to issue a Certificate of Acceptance of the work to the Contractor or to advise the
Contractor in writing of the reason for non - acceptance.
GC -22
5.07 Final Payment
geacondansrlspee
Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Engineer shall proceed to make
final measurements and prepare final statement for the value of all work performed and
materials furnished under the terms of the Agreement and shall certify same to the
Owner, who shall pay to the Contractor on or before the 30th day, and before the 35th
day, after the date of the Certificate of Completion, the balance due the Contractor under
the terms of this contract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said
performance by the Contractor. Neither the Certificate of Acceptance nor the final
payment, nor any provision in the Contract Documents, shall relieve the Contractor of
the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required.
5.08 Payments Withheld
The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the
whole or part of any certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself
from loss on account of:
a) Defective work not remedied or other obligations hereunder not done.
b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims.
c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to subcontractors or for
material or labor.
d) Damage to the Owner or another contractor's work, material or equipment.
e) Reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the
contract amount.
f) Reasonable indication that the work will not completed within the contract time.
g )
5.09 Delayed Payments
Other causes affecting the performance of the contract.
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.
Should the Owner fail to make payment to the Contractor of the sum named in any
partial or final statement, when payment is due, then the Owner shall pay to the
Contractor, in addition to the sum shown as due by such statement, interest thereon at
the rate of 6% per annum, unless otherwise specified, from date due as provided under
GC -23
'partial payments' and final 'payments,' until fully paid, which shall fully liquidate any
injury to the Contractor growing out of such delay in payment. It is expressly agreed
that delay by the Owner in making payment to the Contractor of the sum named in any
partial or final statement shall not constitute a breach of this contract on the part of the
Owner nor an abandonment thereof nor shall it to any extent or for any time relieve the
Contractor of his obligations to fully and completely perform hereunder.
6. Extra Work and Claims
6.01 Change Orders
Without invalidating this Agreement, the Owner may, at any time or from time to time,
order additions, deletions or revisions to the work; such changes will be authorized by
Change Order to be prepared by the Engineer for execution by the Owner and the
Contractor. The Change Order shall set forth the basis for any change in contract price,
as hereinafter set forth for Extra Work, and any change in contract time which may
result from the change.
In the event the Contractor shall refuse to execute a Change Order which has been
prepared by the Engineer and executed by the Owner, The Engineer may in writing
instruct the Contractor to proceed with the work as set forth in the Change Order and the
Contractor may make claim against the Owner for Extra Work involved therein, as
hereinafter provided.
6.02 Minor Changes
Any request by the Contractor for a change in Contract Price shall be made prior to
beginning the work covered by the proposed change.
eencond.mst/epec
The Engineer may authorize minor changes in the work not inconsistent with the overall
intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in Contract Price. If the
Contractor believes that any minor change or alteration authorized by the Engineer
involves Extra Work and entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price, the Contractor
shall make written request to the Engineer for a written Field Order.
In such case, the Contractor by copy of his communication to the Engineer or otherwise
in writing shall advise the Owner of his request to the Engineer for a written Field Order
and that work involved may result in an increase in the Contract Price.
6.03 Extra Work
It is agreed that the basis of compensation to the Contractor for work either added or
GC -24
ge"cc"d.mntlrya
deleted by a Change Order or for which a claim for Extra Work is made shall be
determined by the unit prices upon which this contract was bid to the extent such work
can be fairly classified within the various work item descriptions and for work items that
cannot be so classified by one or more of the following methods:
Method (A)
By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B)
By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C)
If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be agreed upon before the Extra
Work is commenced, then the Contractor shall be paid the "actual field
cost" of the work, plus fifteen (15) percent.
In the event said Extra Work be performed and paid for under Method (C), then the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to
include the cost to the Contractor of all workmen, such as foreman, timekeepers,
mechanics and laborers, and materials, supplies, trucks, rentals on machinery and
equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual
equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual
transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants,
water and similar operating expenses, also all necessary incidental expenses incurred
directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits and
other payroll taxes, and, a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and Payment
Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workmen's
Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by any law or ordinance, or
directed by the Owner, or by them agreed to. The Engineer may direct the form in
which accounts of the "actual field cost" shall be kept and the records of these accounts
shall be made available to the Engineer. The Engineer or Owner may also specify 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 equipment shall be determined by using 100 per cent, unless otherwise specified, of
the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by the Associated General
Contractors of America. Where practicable the terms and prices for the use of
machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the Written Extra Work Order. The
fifteen (15%) percent of the "actual field cost" to be paid the Contractor shall cover and
compensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office
expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field
GC -25
galcond msV,pec
cost" as herein defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office must be
maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work; then the cost to maintain and
operate the same shall be included in the "actual field cost."
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 or an
adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written request to the Engineer for
written order authorizing such Extra Work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to
what does or does not constitute Extra Work, or as to the payment therefor, and the
Engineer insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the work after
making written request for written order and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual
field cost" thereof, as provided under Method (C). The Contractor will thereby preserve
the right to submit the matter of payment to arbitration, as hereinbelow provided.
6.04 Time of Filing Claims
It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment
presented by the Contractor shall be in writing and filed with the Engineer within thirty
(30) days after the Engineer has given any directions, order or instruction to which the
Contractor desires to take exception. The Engineer shall reply within thirty (30) days
to such written exceptions by the Contractor and render his final decision in writing. In
case the Contractor should appeal from the Engineer's decision, any demand for
arbitration shall be filed with the Engineer and the Owner in writing within ten (10) days
after the date of delivery to Contractor of the Engineer's final decision. It is further
agreed that final acceptance of the work by the Owner and the acceptance by the
Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any claims by either party, except
claims by Owner for defective work or enforcement of warranties and except as noted
otherwise in the contract documents.
6.05 Continuing Performance
The Contractor shall continue performance of the contract during all disputes or
disagreements with the Owner. The production or delivery of goods, the furnishing of
services and the construction of projects or facilities shall not be delayed, prejudiced or
postponed pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements, except as the Owner may
otherwise agree in writing.
6.06 Arbitration
All questions of dispute under this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration at the
request of either party to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbiter, otherwise,
there shall be three, one named in writing by each party, and the third chosen by the two
arbiters so selected; or if the arbiters fail to select a third within ten (10) days, he shall
GC -26
be chosen by a District Judge serving the County in which the major portion of the
project is located, unless otherwise specified. Should the party demanding arbitration fail
to name an arbiter within ten (10) days of the demand, his right to arbitrate shall lapse,
and the decision of the Engineer shall be fmal and binding on him. Should the other
party fail to choose an arbiter within ten (10) days, the Engineer shall appoint such
arbiter. Should either party refuse or neglect to supply the arbiters with any papers or
information demanded in writing, the arbiters are empowered by both parties to take ex
parte proceedings.
The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision of any two shall be binding on both

7. Abandonment of Contract
7.01 Abandonment by Contractor
gem:oud.mn/.pec
In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10)
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 the
Contract Documents, then, and in that case, where performance and payment bonds
exist, the Sureties on these bonds shall be notified in writing and directed to complete
the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the Contractor.
After receiving said notice of abandonment the Contractor shall not remove from the
work any machinery, 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 performance bond, or
another contractor in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any
rental or credit therefor (except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit
shall be allowed as provided for under Section 6, Extra Work and Claims), it being
understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost
to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
GC -27
yeocand.mst/apee
Where there is no performance bond provided or in case the Surety should fail to
commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for, within
ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion
of the work in either of the following elective manners:
(1) The Owner may thereupon employ such force of men and use such
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as said Owner may
deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such
labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said
Contractor, and expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the
Owner out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any
time become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement.
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 Contractor 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
and /or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the Owner, or
(2) The Owner under competitive bids, taken after notice published as
required by law, 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 there is 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 contract prove to be less than would have been the cost
to complete under this contract, the Contractor and /or his Surety shall be
credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed the Contractor and his Surety
shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, as provided in
Paragraph 5.06 hereinabove, shall be issued. A complete itemized statement of the
contract accounts, certified to by the Engineer as being correct, shall then be prepared
and delivered to the Contractor and his Surety, whereupon the Contractor and/or his
Surety, or the Owner as the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said
statement, within fifteen (15) days after the date of such Certificate of Completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete 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 and /or his Surety
shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the owner, then all machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over
to the Contractor and /or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the
GC -28
contract price, and the Contractor and /or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the Owner
within the time designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment,
tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together 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 contract, provided, however, that
actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or
other giving of such notice, such property shall be held 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 fifteen (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
public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall
release any machinery, 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. The books on all operations provided herein shall be opened to the Contractor
and his Surety.
7.02 Abandonment by Owner
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail to
comply with said terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor,
then the Contractor may suspend or wholly abandon the work, and may remove
therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of work that
have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been wrought into the
work. And thereupon the Engineer shall make an estimate of the total amount earned
by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed
by said Contractor (at the prices stated in the attached proposal where unit prices are
used), the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the
amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the
terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by
the Contractor to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot be utilized. The
Engineer shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting
from the above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may
be retained by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement and shall certify same to the
Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the
notification by the Contractor the balance shown by said final statement as due the
Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.

unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in submitting for acceptance
any list or lists of names as required by the Contract Documents or the Instructions to
Bidders.

or organization previously accepted by them, the Contract amount shall be increased or
decreased by the difference in cost occasioned by such change and an appropriate Change
Order shall be issued.

make similar payments to his subcontractors.
If the Engineer fails to approve a payment for any cause which is the fault of the
Contractor and not the fault of a particular Subcontractor, the Contractor shall pay the
Subcontractor on demand, made at any time after the Certificate for Payment should
otherwise have been issued, for his work to the extent completed, less the retained
percentage.

ITEM 250
SCARIFYING AND RESHAPING BASE COURSE
250.1. Description. "Scarifying and Reshaping Base Course" shall con-
sist of scarifying and reshaping the existing base course (with or without
asphalt surfacing) as herein specified and in conformity with the typical
sections shown on plans and to the lines and grades established by the En-
gineer.
250.2. Construction Methods. Prior to scarifying the existing base or
base and asphalt surfacing, the shoulders and slopes of the existing road-
way shall be excavated or built up. sprinkled and compacted to conform to
the typical sections, lines and grades shown on the plans or as directed by
the Engineer. The existing base and surface shall than be scarified for its
full width and depth unless otherwise shown on the plans and then bladed
and shaped to conform to the typical sections shown on the plans. However,
in no case shall the underlying subgrade be disturbed. Any bituminous mat
encountered shall be broken into particles of not more than three Inches in
size, and incorporated uniformly with the existing base.
The course shall be compacted by the method of compaction hereinafter
specified as the "Ordinary • Compaction" method or the "Density Control"
method of compaction as indicated on the plans.
When the plans indicate that the "Ordinary Compaction" method is to
be used, the following provisions shall apply:
The course shall be sprinkled as required and rolled as directed. All
holes. ruts or depressions in the surface shall be repaired by scarifying,
reshaping, sprinkling and rolling as directed until a uniform compaction is
secured. 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 cross sections shown on plans and to the
established lines and grades. In that area on which pavement is to be
placed, any deviation in excess of 114 inch in cross section and in a length of
16 feet measured longitudinally shall be corrected by loosening, adding or
removing material, reshaping and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling.
All irregularities, depressions or weak spots which develop shall be cor-
rected immediately by scarifying the areal affected, adding suitable mate
rial as required, reshaping and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling.
The Contractor shall at all times provide proper and sufficient equil•
went and conduct his operations in a satisfactory and workmanlike mar -
ner. Failure to manipulate materials promptly and perform the various or
erations required in a continuous and coordinated manner will be ground .
for suspension of any part of the work.
250.3 to 250.4
When the plans indicate that the "Density Control" method of compac-
tion is to be used, the following provisions shall apply:
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 requ specified for
density, the full depth of the scarified and reshaped base course shall be
compacted to the extent necessary to remain firm and stable under con-
struction equipment. After each section of base is completed. teats 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 re-
quirements. Throughout this entire operation, the shape of the course shall
be maintained by binding. and the surface upon completion shall be smooth
and in conformity with the typical cross sections shown on plane 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
16 feet measured longitudinally shall be corrected by loosening, adding or
removing materiel, reshaping and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling.
All irregularities, depressions or weak spots which develop shall be cor-
rected inunedlately by scarifying the areas affected. adding suitable mate-
rial as required, reshaping and recompaeting by sprinkling and rolling. The
Contractor shall at all times provide proper and sufficient equipment and
conduct his operations in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner. Should
the base course, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability, den-
sity and finish before it is accepted, it shall be recompacted and refinished
at the sole expense of the Contractor.
250.3. Density. When the "Density Control" method of compaction is
Indicated on the plans, each course of base shall be compacted to the per-
cent density shown on the plans. The testing will be as outlined in Test
Method Tex - 114 -E. It is the intent of this specification to provide in that
part of the base included in the top 8 inches immediately below the finished
surface of the roadway, not leas than 100 percent of the density as deter-
mined by the compaction ratio method. Field density determination shall
be made in accordance with Test Method Tex - 115 -
When tolerances are permitted by the plans, the limits establishing
reasonably close conformity with percent density specified are defined by
the following.
The Engineer may accept the work providing not more than 25 percent
of the density testa performed each day are outside the specified density by
no more than three pounds per cubic foot and where no two consecutive
tests on continuous work are outside the specified limits.
250.4. Measurement. Scarifying and reshaping base course, including
any asphalt surfacing, as provided herein shall be measured along the cen-
terline of each individual roadway by the 100 -foot station, or by the square
yard.
133
250.5 to 252.2
250.5. Payment. The work performed as prescribed by this hem and
measured as provided under "Measurement" will be paid for at the unit
price bid, by one of the following methods: (I) "Scarifying and Reshaping
Base Course (Ordinary Compaction)" of the depth specified or (2) "Scarify-
ing and Reshaping Base Course (Density Control)" of the depth specified.
The unit prices bid for scarifying and reshaping base course shall each
be full compensation for cleaning and scarifying the existing baee and sur-
face; for all spreading. binding, dragging, shaping and finishing of the
scarified materiel; and for all manipulations, labor, tools and incidentals
necessary to complete the work except as follows;
When "Ordinary Compaction" is indicated on the plans, all ep
and rolling, performed as required, will be measured and paid for In accor
dance with the provisions governing the Items of "Sprinkling" and "Rop-
ing", respectively.
When "Density Control" is indicated on the plans, sprinkling
ing will not be paid for directly, but the wet of all sprinkling and roll
ahall be subsidiary to other bid items. ° ro1Wg
Excavation required in the preparation of shoulders and elopes to con-
form with the typical sections shown on the plans will be paid for in accor-
dance with the provisions of the Items covering this phase of work as in-
dicated on the plans, with the provision that work will be paid for once only,
regardless of the manipulations involved.

312.4 Construction Methods
Prior to commencing this work, all erosion control, environmental protection measures and all traffic control devices shall be in
place.
Seal coats shall not be applied when air temperature is below 60 F and falling or when the surface on which the seal coat is to be
placed is below 60 F. Seal Coats may be applied when air temperature is above 50 F and rising, the temperature being taken in
the shade and away from artificial heat. Asphaltic material shall not be placed when general weather conditions are not suitable
for a satisfactory seal coat or when the environment could be damaged.
(1) Cracks and Holes
Cracks and holes will be patched by the Contractor prior to seal coat operations. Material used to do this patch will be
hot mix, hot lay asphaltic concrete or other asphaltic materials as approved by the Engineer.
(2) Cleaning Existing Surfaces
Prior to placing the seal coat, loose dirt and other objectionable material shall be removed from the existing surface.
The surface will be cleaned with a rotary broom. Hand brooms will be used in areas not accessible to rotary brooms.
The Engineer must approve all streets before application of any asphalt.
(3) Mixing Asphalt
When the air temperature is 80 F or higher, latex shall be added to the asphalt at the rate of 11/2 to 2 percent by
weight (solid bases). The actual rate shall be approved by the Engineer. The asphalt shall be heated to 150 F before
adding the latex. The mixture shall be thoroughly mixed before application.
The finished latex - asphalt shall meet the following requirements:
Viscosity at 140 F, stokes 1500 maximum
Ductility at 39.2 F, 1 cm per min, cm 100 minimum
(4) Application of Asphaltic Material
Immediately following the preparation of the existing surface by cleaning, the asphaltic material shall be applied at
the rate of 0.25 to 0.30 gallon per square yard as determined by the Engineer, so that uniform distribution is obtained
at all points. Skip streaks on the pavement, due to defective distributor nozzles, will be reshot with a distributor at the
expense of the Contractor.
The Contractor shall calibrate the spray bar nozzles by spreading building paper as required on the surface for a
sufficient distance back from the end of each application so that flow through sprays may be started and stopped on
the paper and so that all sprays will operate properly over the entire length being treated. Building paper so used
shall be immediately removed and loaded on a truck. At the end of each day, the paper shall be disposed of at a
permitted site approved by the Engineer.
Application temperatures will be determined by weather conditions but shall be between 150 -160 F as determined
by the Engineer. When a street to be sealed is continuous through several intersections, sealed area will include all
spandrels and stub -outs, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Spandrels will be hand sprayed. Contractor
shall not apply excessive amounts of Asphaltic Materials when hand spraying. Excessive materials applied shall be
removed by the Contractor before spreading the aggregate.
The Contractor shall be required to seal all spandrels at the same time the adjacent streets are sealed unless other-
wise approved in writing by the Engineer.
During all applications, the surface of adjacent structures shall be protected in such a manner as to prevent their
being splattered or marred. Building paper shall be spread on all manholes, valve boxes, junction boxes, etc. to
protect the surface from asphaltic materials. The asphaltic material shall not be applied until the cover aggregate is
available and ready to spread with assurance of continuous operation.
No asphaltic material shall be placed which cannot be covered and rolled during daylight hours.

(5) Spreading the Aggregate
The Contractor shall employ a mechanical aggregate spreader which applies the aggregate uniformly over the sur-
face at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds per square yard. The actual rate shall be as directed by the Engineer.
(6) Brooming and Rolling
(
The covering material in the quantity specified shall be spread uniformly over the bituminous material as soon after
application as possible. The aggregate shall be spread in the same width of application as for the asphaltic material
and spread uniformly with the aggregate spreading equipment.
Trucks spreading aggregate shall be operated backward so that bituminous material will be covered before truck
wheels pass over it. The aggregate shall not be applied in such thickness to cause blanketing or stacking. Any blan-
keting or stacking shall be removed prior to rolling. Backspotting or sprinkling cover aggregate shall be done by hand
spreading, which will be continued during the operations whenever necessary, as directed by the Engineer.
Rolling shall be started as soon as sufficient aggregate is spread to prevent pick -up and continued until no more
aggregate can be worked into the surface. The surface shall be blanket rolled. The Contractor shall arrange his work
so that all rolling of all cover aggregate applied that day is accomplished with a minimum of four complete coverages
with pneumatic rollers prior to sundown.
In lieu of the rolling equipment specified, the Contractor may, upon written permission from the Engineer, operate
other compacting equipment that will produce equivalent relative compaction in the same period of time as the
specified equipment.
Rollers shall be maintained in good repair and operating condition and shall be approved by the Engineer.
The pony blading or drag brooming should start as soon as possible after the rolling has started and the surface has
set sufficiently to prevent excessive marking of the seal surface. Further pony blading or drag brooming should be
done as often as necessary to keep cover aggregate uniformly distributed over the street surface. At no time shall
there be less than 2 pneumatic tire rollers on the job. The use of the pony blade or drag broom in connection with the
rolling will be left to the opinion of the Engineer as to which gives the desired results.
The Contractor will be responsible for maintaining all streets for 48 hours after each street has been seal coated
Maintenance will consist of brooming, rolling and adding more aggregate as directed by the Engineer.
Asphaltic Material Contractor's Responsibility
The Contractor shall furnish vendor's certified test report for asphaltic material shipped for the project. The report
shall be delivered to the Engineer before permission is granted for use of the material. Any change of source shall be
reported prior to delivery.

seal coat area.
The Contractor shall notify all abutting property owners along the street prior to seal coat operation.
The Contractor shall have on the project site sufficient barricades flag - persons and traffic control devices to assure a minimum
of inconvenience to traffic around the construction area and to conform to the General Conditions. If such arrangements are not
made by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the seal coat operation shall not be allowed to commence.
After the seal has been applied, the Contractor shall post slow signs along these streets and maintain such signs for 24 hours.
312.6 Final Cleanup
The Contractor shall vacuum sweep the completed seal coat to remove loose aggregate as required for the first week after the
traffic is allowed on the street.
312.7 Measurement

DATE: May 12, 1992
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, May 14, 1992
ITEM: 13G. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a
contract for the Gattis School Road Maintenance and Safety
Improvements.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Sealed bids for the Gattis School Road Maintenance and Safety Improvements were
opened on May 5, 1992 at 2:00 p.m. These improvements will upgrade Gattis School Road
from Southcreek Drive to CR 122 by scarifying and reshaping the existing asphalt surface and
base course, constructing new 5 inch flexible base course over the reshaped section and
constructing a two course asphalt treatment over about 1 /3 of the road. The balance of the length
will receive pavement widening, reinforced concrete headwalls and guard rails, edge repairs, and
surface seal coat.
Nine bidders submitted bids ranging from a low of $133,685.55 to $216,337.50. J.C.
Evans Construction Co. submitted the lowest and best bid. J.C. Evans Construction Co. has
done many successful jobs for Round Rock. Therefore, staff recommends that J.C. Evans be
awarded this contract for $133,685.55. Funds were previously authorized by Council and come
from unexpended bond funds.
