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 gcncond.mstlepee 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.

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 GC -9 emcond.mF/+pw and completely review all shop drawings to ascertain their effect on his ability to perform 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 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, GC -10 forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such work so that it shall be in full accordance with this contract. 2.15 Changes and Alterations 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 grneo"d.msUspee 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 GC -11 1 ' completed; or discovery or failure to discover or object to defective work of materials shall release Contractor from his duty to complete all work in strict accordance with the I 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. 1 3. General Obligations and Responsibilities I 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 1 keep one (1) copy of the same constantly accessible on the work, with the latest revisions noted thereon.

In the event the Owner is damaged in the course of the work by the act, negligence, omission, mistake or default of the Contractor, or should the Contractor unreasonably delay the progress of the work being done by others on the job so as to cause loss for which the Owner becomes liable, then the Contractor shall reimburse the Owner for such loss. 3.09 Protection Against Accident to Employees and the Public The Contractor shall at all times exercise reasonable precautions for the safety of employees and others on or near the work and shall comply with all applicable provisions GC -13 g o d.m,U.pcc of Federal, State, and Municipal safety laws and building and construction codes.

The Contractor agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Owner and Engineer against any claim or claims for damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, arising or growing out of the performance of the contract regardless of whether or not it is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder, but any such indemnity shall not apply to any claim of any kind arising solely out of the existence or character of the work. 3.13 Protection Against Claims of Subcontractors, Laborers, Materialmen and Furnishers of Machinery, Equipment and Supplies The Contractor agrees that he will indemnify and save the Owner and Engineer harmless from all claims growing out the lawful demands of Subcontractors, laborers, workers, mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools, and all supplies, including commissary, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this contract. When so desired by the Owner, Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged or waived. If the Contractor fails to do so, then the Owner may at the option of the Contractor either pay directly any unpaid bills, of which the Owner has written notice, or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to liquidate any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged, whereupon payments to the Contractor shall be resumed in full, in accordance with the terms of this contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligation upon the Owner by either the Contractor or his Surety. 3.14 Protection Against Royalties or Patented Invention The Contractor shall pay all royalties and license fees, and shall provide for the use of any design, device, material or process covered by letter patent or copyright by suitable legal agreement with the patentee or owner.

There is penalty of $10.00 per worker per day or portion of a day that the prevailing wage rate is not paid by the contractor or any subcontractor. GC -19 4. Prosecution and Progress 4.01 Time and Order of Completion gcucood.m.t/.pa 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 Bid: 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. 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 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. GC -20 5. Measurement and Payment 5.01 Quantities and Measurements 5.02 Estimated Quantities emcmd.mn/q.ee 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. 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 bids offered for the 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 bid; 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 bid that has a total cost equal to or greater that five (5) percent of the total contract cost, computed on the basis of the bid 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 Bid hereto attached, which has been made a part of this GC -21 gcocood.m t/.pec 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. 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 GC -22 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. gcncond.maUapee a minor or major nature, and thereby completing the structure or facility in accordance with the Contract Documents. 5.07 Final Payment 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. GC -23 0 Reasonable indication that the work will not completed within the contract time. g) 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. 5.09 Delayed Payments 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 '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 6.02 Minor Changes gencrnd.mst/apx 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. 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 GC -24 6.03 Extra Work gercond.mathp. 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. Any request by the Contractor for a change in Contract Price shall be made prior to beginning the work covered by the proposed change. It is agreed that the basis of compensation to the Contractor for work either added or 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 transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, also all necessary incidental expenses incurred d 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 GC -25 gcncond mg/ 3p= 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 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. GC -26 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 gencond.mstspee 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 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 final 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 parties to the contract. The decision of the arbiters upon any questions submitted to arbitration under this contract shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action. The decision of the arbiter or arbiters may be filed in court to carry it into effect. The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized to award the party whose contention is sustained, such sums as they deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident to the appeal, and if the appeal was taken without reasonable cause, they may award damages for any delay occasioned thereby. The arbiters shall fix their own compensation unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the cost and charges of the arbitration upon either or both parties. The award of the arbiters must be made in writing. 7. Abandonment of Contract 7.01 Abandonment by Contractor 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 GC -27 gwcmd.mat/apcc 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. 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. GC -28 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 tumed over to the Contractor and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the 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 gtacaod.m.t/tpec 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 bid 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 GC -29 8. Subcontractors 8.01 Award of Subcontracts for Portions of the Work genecnd.n,,Upee 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 otherwise specified in the Contract Documents or in the Instructions to Bidders, the Contractor, as soon as practicable after the award of the Contract, shall furnish to the Engineer in writing for acceptance by the Owner and the Engineer a list of the names of the Subcontractors proposed for the principal portions of the work. The Engineer shall promptly notify the Contractor in writing if either the Owner or the Engineer, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any Subcontractor on such list and does not accept him. Failure of the Owner or Engineer to make objection promptly to any Subcontractor on the list shall constitute acceptance of such Subcontractor. The Contractor shall not contract with any Subcontractor or any person or organization (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for portions of the work designated in the Contract Documents or in the Instructions to Bidders or, if none is so designated, with any Subcontractor proposed for the principal portions of the work who has been rejected by the Owner and the Engineer. The Contractor will not be required to contract with any Subcontractor or person or organization against whom he has a reasonable objection.

Welds: All welds in the tank and structural attachments shall be made in a manner to ensure complete fusion with the base metal, within the limits specified for each joint, and in strict accordance with the qualified procedure. Weather Conditions: Welding shall not be performed when the surfaces of the parts to be welded are wet from rain, snow, or ice, or when rain or snow is falling on such surfaces, or during periods of high winds, unless the welder or welding operator and work are protected properly. Welding shall not be performed when the base metal temperature is less than 0°F ( -18 °C). When the base metal temperature is within the range 0 to 32 °F ( -18 to 0 °C), the base metal within 3 in. of the place where welding is to be started shall be heated until it is warm to the touch, and this warmth shall be maintained at least 3 in. ahead of the arc as welding progresses. Peening: Peening of weld layers may be used to prevent undue distortion. Surface layers shall not be peened. Peening shall be performed with light blows from a power hammer with a blunt -nosed tool. Contour: The surface beads shall merge smoothly into each other in all welds. All craters shall be filled to the full cross section of the weld. Reinforcement: The reinforcement of butt welds shall be as small as practical, preferably not more than 1/16 in. In no case shall the face of the weld lie below the surface of the plates being joined. TS -3 hwy81.082 /span Gouging: Gouging at the root of welds and gouging of welds to remove defects may be performed with a round -nosed tool or by arc or oxygen gouging. Cleaning between beads: Each bead of a multiple -pass weld shall be cleaned of slag and other loose deposits before the next bead is applied. Preparation of Surfaces to be Welded: Surfaces to be welded shall be free from loose scale, slag, heavy rust, grease, paint, and any other foreign material except tightly adherent mill scale. A light film of deoxaluminate or equivalent spatter film compound may be disregarded. Such surfaces shall also be smooth, uniform, and free from fins, tears, and other defects that adversely affect proper welding. A fine film of rust adhering on cut or sheared edges after wire brushing need not be removed. Protective coatings: If protective coatings, deoxaluminate or equivalent, are to be used on surfaces to be welded, then the protective coating shall be included in welding procedure qualification tests for the brand formulation and maximum thickness of coating to be applied; except, if thickness of coating does not exceed 2 mils, then qualifications with or without coating are acceptable. Tack Welds: Tack welds made by qualified welders and used in the assembly of joints subject to primary stress from the weight or pressure of tank contents shall be thoroughly cleaned of all welding slag, but need not be removed, provided they are visually inspected for soundness (no cracks, complete fusion, filled craters, and acceptable profiles) and are thoroughly fused into the subsequently deposited weld metal. Tack welds used in the assembly of joints subject to secondary stress, such as those used in flat bottoms, roofs, and circumferential seams of cylindrical tank shells, need not be removed, provided they are sound and that the subsequently applied weld beads are thoroughly fused into the tack welds. MATCHING PLATES Lap Joints: The plates forming a lap joint shall be held in as close contact as possible during welding, and in no case shall the separation be more than 1 /16 in. Where separation occurs, the size of weld shall be increased by the amount of the separation. Butt joints under primary stress: In butt joints subject to primary stress from weight or pressure of tank contents, the adjoining plates shall be TS -4 hwy87.692 /spsm aligned accurately and retained in position during welding, so that in the welded joint, the thinner plate shall not project beyond its adjoining plate by more than 10 percent of the thickness of the thinner plate or 1/16 in., whichever is larger. Butt joints under secondary stress: In butt joints subject to secondary stress, the adjoining plates shall be aligned accurately and retained in position during welding, so that in the finished joint the thinner plate (if one is thinner than the other) or either plate (if both plates are of the same thickness) shall not project beyond its adjoining plate by more than 20 percent of the plate thickness (using the thickness of the thinner plate if of different thicknesses) or 1/8 in., whichever is smaller. Cleaning of welds: The construction crew shall remove weld scale of slag, spatter, burrs, and other sharp or rough projections in a manner that will leave the surface suitable for the subsequent cleaning and painting operation. Weld seams need not be chipped or ground, provided they may be satisfactorily cleaned and painted. Cleanup: On completion of the erection, the contractor shall remove or dispose of all rubbish and unsightly material caused by his operations and shall leave the premises in as good a condition as he found them.

The inspection and testing methods utilized in determining the overall condition of the tank consisted of visual inspection, ultrasonic testing, solution film testing (vacuum testing,) and still photographing. As each of the strategic areas were accessed and inspected, an evaluation was made and documented in the following report. The McNeil Road water storage tank located 1 mile West of IH 35 was constructed in 1978 by Bulldog Tank Company. Since its construction in 1978, there has been no inspection or major rehabilitation with the exception of a 24" diameter overflow and vent being installed in July of 1991. As recommended by AWWA and the Steel Plate Fabricators Association, maintenance should be conducted every 12 to 15 years for maximum extended operation fife. INSPECTION RESULTS On 2 -3-93 through 2 John H. Konzen, CWI -NDE Level III , and F. Shug Evans, CWI of HOT Inspections Services, Inc. performed the inspection and testing necessary to assess the McNeil Road water storage tank. 1. The exterior of the tank shell shows signs of oxidization, paint degradation and mildew. In most areas the soil is in contact with the tank base annular ring. The soil can retain moisture and cause corrosion o f the uncoated metal. A shallow trench should be excavated around the tank to correct the potential problem. This will also allow for better metal preparation and coating during the rehab phase. 2. The interior of the tank shell shows to have a satisfactory coating adherence below the water line with minor signs of paint degradation. The interior tank walls contain some lime buildup, masking any minor WA airemil. nn•AannnaNutts• 61.••■■■■• anu WA n.....• wow ....AM ea Ift., w ...MM., a■ mama a.l.aaW NB Asa awl Iv • Ann Was ulli ha halflehifella eneVINNINNI 1 HOT INSPECTION SERVICES, INC.

The interior roof was accessed from an extension ladder at three locations. The paint degradation and I corrosion is most severe at the areas along the top angle to roof connection, above the I-beam rafter supports and around the vent area. This is common in water tanks because of the chlorine gas concentrations found in ' these air spaces. As shown in Photo # 6 & 7 these areas are of concem. 1 1 We sum:mann raennnemaNtne Ne.Y am VIMAIIeM anerMMdMn MtIrnAW Nina rdrlMrMuhA as Anna aMMNRVIMnMO I. hold [IIHN fMYWIaI I HOT INSPECTION SERVICES, INC.

The roof to top angle connection and rafter clip connection was accessed by ladder and found to be corroded and deteriorated, as seen in Photo #8. The weldments have been attacked most severely at these connections partly due to the lack of seal welding. These connections do not warrant any stability or integrity for continued service. The top angle to roof is not seal welded from the interior, allowing moisture to become ▪ entrapped between the roof rate and angle iron. I 6. A total of thirty (36) rafters are presently existing as part of the roof design. These rafters are structural channel and are of two sizes : 18 - C6 X 10.5 and 18 - C5 X 6.7. The spans are not continuous from tank wall to center column but are spliced at the centerline above the W8 X 28 I- beams. See the drawing in this report for details on rafter connections. Because of the chlorine gas concentration above the waterline, the rafters, I-beams and splice clips have bat more than 1/3 of the original base metal thickness from the intense corrosion. An average of more than 60% of the surface area of these components has been affected as seen ▪ in photo #10 & 11. The following measurements were made on the roof components as representative to the current condition.

The plate clips used for the rafter connections and splices were also found to contain a thickness reduction of ' approximately 1/3 the original base metal thickness. These clips are of 3/8 and 1/4 materials. 7. The column rafter airports consist of 6" diameter pipe and appears to be in fair condition. Above the water ▪ line the thickness measurements were within 15% of readings that were obtained from the lower portion of the II columns. it is not known exactly what the pipe schedule the columns were specified to be, but the measurements obtained are between schedule 40 and 80. It is assumed that the ppe is schedule 80 ' because the readings taken were all greater than the schedule 40 pipe. Steel pipe manufacturers are allowed a minus 12.5% tolerance to the actual schedule pipe dimension listed in the steel manuals. The thickness measurements taken during the testing process were compared to the minimum allowed for 6" I diameter schedule 80 pipe, which is .378". The average thickness below the water Tine on all seven columns was as follows: I LOCATION THICKNESS 01 .348' C2 .352' 1 1 HOT INSPECTION SERVICES, INC. r 1 MAILING: P.O. Box 1208 Round Rock.

The floor deck was visually inspected and verified as being 1/4 thick plate by ultrasonics. As seen In Photo I No. 13 some signs of blistering and corrosion on the floor was detected with a pitting affect of less than .010° deep. The lap seams and comer welds were solution film (vacuum) tested 100% for leaks and found to be leak tight. The column base plates (2XZ)(1/2" plate) were also tested and found to be acceptable. 1 9. The vertical and horizontal welds as visually inspected from the interior and exterior contain some weld quality defects unacceptable to the AWWA code, but do not jeopardize the integrity of the tank. These defects ' are commonly weld undercut and porosity normally found in weldments made with the E6010 electrode. 10. The remainder of the tank interior inspection consisted of the dollar plate, manway, float devise, overflow ' and inlets which revealed the following: a) A 23' diameter manway restricts entry into tank. b) The 24° diameter overflow has not been backwelded and contains no weir box. c) The 8" diameter drain opening has gouges in metal up to 1/4" deep and undercut as shown in Photo No.14. d) The float device is corroded and in need of repair. e) The 5' diameter dollar plate has four equally spaced gussets 2X2. The material construction is 1" thick plate which contains some corrosion and thickness loss up to 1/4". The material thickness available is sufficient for continued service. ' TANK REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Excavate trench around tank bottom to remove soil away from tank base. ' 2. Remove existing roof deck from tank and install new roof plate. (Roof plate is 6' wide.) Seal weld interior roof to top angle. 3. Remove inner and outer rafters, I-beam, and replace with new material including the replacement of weld clips for all I-beam and rafter connections.

Construct weir box and install as per original design. 6. Fabricate new float device. 7. Install internal access ladder. 8. Repair 8" diameter inlet defects shown in Photo #14 by welding. 9. Sandblast and re-paint interior and exterior. The above recommendations are based on restoring the tank to its original design condition. It is not the opinion of HOT that any of the above mentioned repairs are necessary for continued operation but only as a guideline recommendation. CONCLUSION This tank has been inspected and tested in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) and American Water Works Association (AWWA) for determining the overall condition and integrity of the vessel. The roof area contains the most noticeable degree of corrosion and deterioration as discussed in the findings. This report has been compiled for the City of Round Rock Public Works Department for aiding in the evaluation of the existing tank condition and integrity.

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement for the tank rehabilitation of the McNeil Road Tank. STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Attached for your information is the March 16, bid tabulation for the McNie1 Road Tank project. The low bid submitted was $77,700.00 Four contractors purchased specifications but only two responded. I talked to the contractors who did not submit a bid and one contractor decided not to respond after he found out he was awarded another project. The other contractor felt that he could not compete against the bidders listed on the plans/specification purchase log. Last year Public Works initiated a similar repair project the Main Well Site and in 1989 the Bowman Road Tank repair. Tabulated below are the costs for these two projects. Year Description Cost/S.F.(Roofl 1992 Main Well Site (52'dia) $30,313 $14.30 /s.f. 1989 Bowman Road Tank (60'dia) $28,500 $10.10 /s.f. Breakdown of McNiel Road Tank estimate: 1993 McNiel Road Tank (73'dia) $45,000 versus bid received, $77,700 $10.75/s.f. $18.60 /s.f. The discrepancy appears to be due to fluctuating steel prices and possibly the temporary security fence. NO.290 5 There appears to be no advantage to re-bid this job since no substantial changes could be made to the original scope of work. The low bidder's references all indicated adequate work experience and technical knowledge sufficient to do this project. Since this project needs to proceed and there is funding available for the repair I recommend the City award the project to Vicon Constructors, Inc., Austin, Texas.
