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
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
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
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
employees or any other person, firm or corporation performing or attempting to perform
any of the work.
2.03 Payments for Work
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
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
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.
GC -6
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.

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.

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
g®aond.matf px
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
geocaad.meupcc
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
emwod.m.U.px
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 taldng 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
gn cwd.mnuepec
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 not 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
peacoud.mghpee
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
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

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
3.06 Discrepancies and Omissions
geucoud.mst/spec

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.
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.
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.
3.08 Damages
In the event the Contractor is damaged in the course of completion of the work by the
act, neglect, omission, mistake or default of the Owner or Engineer, thereby causing loss
to the Contractor, the Owner agrees that he will reimburse the Contractor for such loss.
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

the "Manual of Accident Prevention in Construction" of the Associated General
Contractors of America except where incompatible with Federal, State, or Municipal
laws or regulations. The Contractor shall provide such machinery guards, safe
walkways, ladders, bridges, gangplanks, and other safety devices. The safety
precautions actually taken and their adequacy shall be the sole responsibility of the
Contractor, acting at his discretion as an independent contractor.
In the event there is an accident involving injury to any individual on or near the work,
the Contractor shall immediately notify the Owner and Engineer of the event and shall
be responsible for recording the location of the event and the circumstances surrounding
the event through photographs, interviewing witnesses, obtaining of medical reports and
other documentation that defines the event. Copies of such documentation shall be
provided to the Owner and the Engineer for their records.
3.10 Performance and Payment Bonds
Unless otherwise specified, it is further agreed by the Parties to the Contract that the
Contractor will execute separate performance and payment bonds, each in the sum of one
hundred (100 %) percent of the total contract price, in standard forms for this purpose,
guaranteeing faithful performance of the work and the fulfillment of any guarantee
required, and further guaranteeing payment to all persons supplying labor and materials
or furnishing him any equipment in the execution of the Contract. If the contract price
is less that $50,000.00, a letter of credit may be furnished in lieu of a performance bond.
It is agreed that the Contract shall not be in effect until such performance bond or letter
of credit, and payment bond are furnished and approved by the owner.
Unless otherwise specified, the cost of the premium for the performance bond or letter
of credit, and payment bond shall be included in the price bid by the Contractor for the
work under this Contract, and no extra payment for such bond or letter of credit will be
made by the Owner.
Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Owner, the surety company underwriting
the bonds or letter of credit shall be acceptable according to the latest list of companies
holding certificates of authority from the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States

4.01 Time and Order of Completion
gmcwd.maIhpcc
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 d 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

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.

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

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
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
go"co.d.msusp.c GC -21
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
gencood.msUspee
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
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.
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
gcocood.msuspcc
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.

1 f) 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
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
' 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
g coco,d.m.uap« GC -24
gmeond.ma✓apx
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.
6.03 Extra Work
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
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
GC -25
1
1 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
1 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
1 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
1 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.
1 6.04 Time of Filing Claims
1 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
1 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
gencood.m,l/,pcc
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

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
gencoad.msthipec
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 turned 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
gcncond.msUspec
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
GC -29
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.

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.
If the Owner or Engineer refuses to accept any Subcontractor or person or organization
on a list submitted by the Contractor in response to the requirements of the Contract
Documents or the Instructions to Bidders, the Contractor shall submit an acceptable
substitute and the Contract amount shall be increased or decreased by the difference in
cost occasioned by such substitution and an appropriate change order shall be issued;
however, no increase in the Contract amount shall be allowed for any such substitution
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.
If the Owner or the Engineer requires a change of any proposed Subcontractor or person
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.
GC -30
gcncood.muUspee
The Contractor shall not make any substitution for any Subcontractor or person or
organization who has been accepted by the Owner and the Engineer, unless the
substitution is acceptable to the Owner and the Engineer.
8.02 Subcontractual Relations
All work performed for the Contractor by a Subcontractor shall be pursuant to an
appropriate written agreement between the Contractor and the Subcontractor (and where
appropriate between Subcontractors and Sub - subcontractors) which shall contain

Contract with respect to the work to be performed under the subcontract
so that the subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights;
(2) require that such work be performed in accordance with the requirements
of the Contract Documents;
(3) require submission to the Contractor of the applications for payment under
each subcontract to which the Contractor is a party, in reasonable time to
enable the Contractor to apply for payment in accordance with this
contract;
(4) require that all claims for additional costs, extensions of time, damages
for delays or otherwise with respect to subcontracted portions of the work
shall be submitted to the Contractor (via any Subcontractor or Sub -
subcontractor where appropriate) in sufficient time so that the Contractor
may comply in the manner provided in the Contract Documents for like
claims by the Contractor upon the Owner;
(5) obligate each subcontractor specifically to consent to the provisions of this
section.
A copy of all such Subcontract Agreements shall be filed by the Contractor with the
Engineer before the Subcontractor shall be allowed to commence work.
8.03 Payments to Subcontractors
The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner,
an amount directly based upon the value of the work performed and allowed to the
Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's work, less the percentage retained from
payments to the Contractor. The Contractor shall also require each Subcontractor to
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

separate contract.
The Contractor shall afford other contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction
and storage of their materials and equipment and the execution of their work, and shall
properly connect and coordinate his work with theirs.
If any part of the Contractor's work depends for proper execution or results upon the
work of any other separate contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report
to the Engineer any apparent discrepancies or defects in such work that render it
unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor to so inspect
and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other contractor's work as fit and proper
to receive his Work, except as to defects which may develop in the other separate
contractor's work after the execution of the Contractor's Work.
Should the Contractor cause damage to the work or property of any separate contractor
on the project, the Contractor shall, upon due notice, settle with such other contractor
by agreement or arbitration, if he will so settle. If such separate contractor sues the
Owner or initiates an arbitration proceeding on account of any damage alleged to have
been so sustained, the Owner shall notify the Contractor who shall defend such
proceedings at the Contractor's expense, and if any judgment or award against the Owner
arises therefrom the Contractor shall pay or satisfy it and shall reimburse the Owner for
all attorney's fees and court or arbitration costs which the Owner has incurred.

432.3 Construction Methods
The subgrade shall be excavated and shaped to the lines, grades and cross section as indicated or as directed by the Engineer
and shall be thoroughly compacted. A cushion 2 inches minimum thickness of crusher screenings. gravel and sand, crushed rock
or coarse sand shall be spread, wetted thoroughly, tamped and leveled. The sand cushion shall be moist at the time the concrete
is placed.
If the subgrade is undercut by more than 4 inches or the natural ground is below "top of subgrade" by more than 4 inches then
necessary backfill shall be made with an approved material and compacted with a mechanical tamper. Hand tamping will not be
permitted.
Where the subgrade is rock or gravel, 70 percent of which is rock, the 2 inch cushion need not be used. The Engineer will
determine it the subgrade meets the above requirements.
Forms shall be of metal or well seasoned wood not less than 2 inches in thickness, of a section satisfactory to the Engineer;
clean. straight, free from warp and of a depth equal to the thickness of the finished work. All forms shall be securely staked to line
and grade and maintained in a true position during the depositing of concrete. Before concrete is placed. forms shall be thor-
oughly oiled with a light form oil.
Expansion joint material inch thick, shall be provided where the new construction abuts an existing structure, sidewalk or
driveway. Similar expansion material shall be placed around all obstructions protruding through the sidewalk. The expansion joint
matenal shall be placed vertically and shall extend the hill depth of the concrete. Maximum spacing of expansion joints shall be
40 feet as indicated or as directed by the Engineer. Weakened plane joints shall be spaced at 5 feet on center. Normal dimen-
sions of the weakened plane joints shall be '/. inch wide and inch deep. All joints shall be 90 degrees to centerline of walk and
shall match any previously placed concrete joints.
Reinforcement for sidewalks shall consist of 1 layer of 6 x 6 — W 1.4 x W 1.4 wire fabric or #3 bars, placed not more than 18
inches on center both directions. All reinforcement shall be placed equidistant from the top and bottom of the concrete. Care
shall be exercised to keep all steel in its proper position during the depositing of concrete. Splices in wire fabric shall overlap
sufficiently to allow two pairs of transverse wires to be tied together and no splice of less than 6 inches will be permitted. Splices
in the #3 bars shall have a minimum lap 0112 inches.
Where dnveways cross sidewalks, additional reinforcing shall be placed in the sidewalk as indicated.
Concrete shall be placed in the forms and spaded, tamped and thoroughly consolidated until it entirely covers the surface and
has a monolithic finish. The top surface shall be floated and troweled to a uniform smooth surface, then finished with a carnet hair
brush or wood float to a gritty texture unless otherwise indicated. The outer edges and joints shall be rounded with approved
tools to a '/. inch radius. Care will be exercised to prevent loss of dummy joints or rounded edges when applying the brush finish.
The finished concrete, while still clastic, shall be stamped with an impression having the Contractor's name, month and year. The
stamp shall be of approved de= gn and impressions shall be made at or near street intersections and not exceeding 350 feet
apart or as directed by the Engineer.
Page 1 Concrete Sidewalks
At the proper time after finishing, the surface shall be protected by a membrane compound curing agent or by wetting cotton or
burlap mats, conforming to Item No. 409, "Membrane Curing ". The sides of the concrete shall be cured in the forms. If the forms
are removed during the curing process, the curing shall be continued by the placement of fill against the row concrete or other
procedures conforming to Item No. 410, "Concrete Structures ". The top 4 inches of fill shall be clean topsoil conforming to Item
No. 604, "Seeding for Erosion Control ".
All necessary excavation, filling and grading of the slopes adjacent to the completed concrete sidewalks will be considered inci-
dental work pertaining to this item and will not be paid for directly. The adjacent excavation and grading of the slopes shall be
done in a manner acceptable to the Engineer.
432.4 Measurement
Accepted work performed as prescribed by this item will be measured by the square foot of surface area of 'Concrete Sidewalk'
Accepted work performed as prescribed by "Sidewalk Ramps" will be measured per each for the type of ramp indicated.
432.5 Payment
The work performed as prescribed by this item will be paid for at the unit price bid per square foot for "Concrete Sidewalk" or per
each for "Concrete Sidewalk Ramps" which price shall be full compensation for preparing the subgrade; for fumishing and plac-
ing all materials, including cushion matenal, all reinforcing steel, joints, expansion joint materials and for any other materials,
manipulations, labor, tools, equipment, finishing, curing and incidentals necessary to complete the work.

1. Construct 5' wide sidewalk on north side of Anderson Street adjacent to curb
between Mays and Lampasas.
2. Construct 5' wide sidewalk on south side of Anderson Street adjacent to curb
between Lampasas and Sheppard.
3. Construct pedestrian ramps at northwest, southwest and southeast corner of
intersection of Anderson and Lampasas, construct pedestrian ramps at
southwest and southeast corner of intersection of Anderson and Sheppard.
4. Construct 4' wide sidewalk on south side of Anderson between Sheppard and
Lewis. Sidewalk will typically be field located away from pavement in this area
(will require forming both sides) and will turn to intersect street paving at right
angle prior to reaching culvert rip -rap structures at southwest and southeast
corners of Anderson and Burnet. Upon approaching the intersection of
Anderson and Lewis, it is anticipated that the sidewalk will be very close to or
adjacent to the paved street but will still require forms on both sides. It is also
anticipated that there will be 75 to 100 feet where slopes adjacent to the
sidewalk will be fairly steep. Block sod shall be installed for slope
stabilization in these areas. The majority of the steep slopes will be along the
sidewalk as it approaches Lewis, and, a small area west of Burnet near a
culvert opening.
