The Contractor shall contractually require each person with whom it contracts to provide services on project, to: (a) provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts of filing of any coverage agreements, that meets the statutory requirements of Texas Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all of its employees providing services on the project, for the duration of the project; (b) provide to the Contractor, prior to that person beginning work on the project, a certificate of coverage showing that coverage. is being provided for all employees of the person providing services on the project, for the duration of the project; (c) provide the Contractor, prior to the end of the coverage period, a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project; (d) obtain from each other person with whom it contracts, and provide to the Contractor: (1) a certificate of coverage, prior to the other person beginning work on the project; and GC -19 gencond mac/ :P« (2) a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, prior to the end of the coverage period, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project; (e) retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project and for one year thereafter; (f) notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within 10 calendar days after the person knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the project; and (g) contractually require each person with whom it contracts, to perform as required by paragraphs (a) - (g), with the certificates of coverage to be provided to the person for whom they are providing services. By signing this contract, or providing, or causing to be provided a certificate of coverage, the Contractor is representing to the govemmental entity that all employees of the Contractor who will provide services on the project will be covered by workers' compensation coverage for the duration of the project, that the coverage will be based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts, and that all coverage agreements will be filed with the appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self - insured, with the Commission's Division of Self Insurance Regulation. Providing false or misleading information may subject the Contractor to administrative penalties, criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions. The Contractor's failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of contract by the contractor that entitles the governmental entity to declare the contract void if the Contractor does not remedy the breach within ten calendar days after the receipt of notice of breach from the governmental entity.

Contractor shall require subcontractors to provide Automobile Liability Insurance with same minimum limits. The Contractor shall not commence work at the site under this contract until he has obtained all required insurance and until such insurance has been approved by the Owner and Engineer. The Contractor shall not allow any Subcontractors to commence work until all insurance required has been obtained and approved. Approval of the insurance by the Owner and Engineer shall not relieve or decrease the liability of the contractor hereunder. The required insurance must be written by a company licensed to do business in Texas at the time the policy is issued. In addition, the company must be acceptable to the Owner and all insurance (other than Workmen's compensation) shall be endorsed to include the Owner as an additional insured thereunder. The Contractor shall not cause any insurance to be cancelled nor permit any insurance to lapse. All insurance certificates shall include a clause to the effect that the policy shall not be cancelled or reduced, restricted or limited until ten (10) days after the Owner has received written notice as evidenced by retum receipt of registered or certified letter.

He shall leave the site of the work in a neat and orderly condition at least equal to that which originally existed. Surplus and waste materials removed from the site of the work shall be disposed of at locations satisfactory to the Engineer. In the event Contractor fails or refuses to clean and remove surplus materials and debris as above provided, the Owner or Engineer may do so, or cause same to be done, at the Contractor's expense and the reasonable cost thereof shall be deducted from the final payment. 3.20 Guarantee Against Defective Work The contractor warrants the materials and workmanship and that the work is in conformance with the plans and specifications included in this contract for a period ofw year from the date of acceptance of the project. Said warranty binds the contractor to correct GC -21 any work that does not conform with such plans and specifications or any defects in workmanship or materials furnished under this contract which may be discovered within the said one year period. The Contractor shall at his own expense correct such defect within thirty days after receiving written notice of such defect from the Owner or Engineer by repairing same to the condition called for in the contract documents and plans and specifications. Should the Contractor fail or refuse to repair such defect within the said thirty day period or to provide acceptable assurances that such repair work will be completed within a reasonable time thereafter, the Owner may repair or cause to be repaired any such defect at the Contractor's expense. 3.21 Testing of Materials Unless otherwise specified, testing of all materials to be incorporated into the project will be as directed by the Engineer at the expense of the Owner. All retesting for work rejected on the basis of test results will be at the expense of the Contractor and the extent of the retesting shall be determined by the Engineer. The Engineer may require additional testing for failing tests and may require two passing retests before acceptance will be made by the Owner. The testing laboratory will be designated by the Owner. All materials to be incorporated into the project must meet the requirements of these specifications. For manufactured materials such as reinforcing steel, expansion joint materials, concrete pipe, cement, miscellaneous steel, cast iron materials, etc., the Contractor will be required to furnish a manufacturer's certificate stating that the material meets the requirements specified for this project. 3.22 Wage Rates Contractors are required to pay the prevailing wage rates to laborers, workmen and mechanics employed on behalf of the city engaged in the construction of public works. The wage rate for these jobs shall be the general prevailing wage rates for work of a similar character. This applies to contractors and subcontractors. The contractor and subcontractors shall keep and make available records of workers and their wages. Prevailing wage rates are published by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Southwestern Division and the Texas Employment Commission for the Austin Job Bank Area. The wage rate shall not be less than the minimum wage rates set by the U. S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division. 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. 4. Prosecution and Progress 4.01 Time and Order of Completion gcncond msUspcc GC -22 gencond msUspcc It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Contractor shall be allowed to prosecute his work at such times and seasons, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conducive to economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and the time of prosecution shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in accordance with this contract, the plans and specifications, and within the time of completion designated in the Proposal: provided, also, that when the Owner is having other work done, either by contract or by his own force, the Engineer may direct the time and manner of constructing the work done under this contract, so that conflict will be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the Owner shall be harmonized. 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. 5. Measurement and Payment 5.01 Quantities and Measurements GC -23 5.02 Estimated Quantities gencond mst/epec 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 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 fumished. 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 fumished 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 fumishing of all the necessary labor, equipment and material, and the completion of all work by the Contractor, and on the completion of all work and on the delivery of all material embraced in this Contract in full conformity with the specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the prices set forth in the Proposal hereto attached, which has been made a part of this contract. The Contractor hereby agrees to receive such prices in full for furnishing all material and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also for all expense incurred by him, and for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to this Agreement. GC -24 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 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 gencond msVepee GC -25 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 The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from Loss on account of: a) Defective work not remedied or other obligations hereunder not done. b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims. c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to subcontractors or for material or labor. d) Damage to the Owner or another contractor's work, material or equipment. e) Reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the contract amount. f) Reasonable indication that the work will not completed within the contract time. g) Other causes affecting the performance of the contract. When the above grounds are removed or the Contractor provides a Surety Bond Qencond m,/,P« GC -26 5.09 Delayed Payments gencond mzlspec satisfactory to the Owner, which will protect the Owner in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them. Should the Owner fail to make payment to the Contractor of the sum named in any partial or final statement, when payment is due, then the Owner shall pay to the Contractor, in addition to the sum shown as due by such statement, interest thereon at the rate of 6% per annum, unless otherwise specified, from date due as provided under '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 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 GC -27 6.03 Extra Woric gencond msUspec 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 equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, also all necessary incidental expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits and other payroll taxes, and, a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workmen's Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by any law or ordinance, or directed by the Owner, or by them agreed to. The Engineer may direct the form in which accounts of the "actual field cost" shall be kept and the records of these accounts shall be made available to the Engineer. The Engineer or Owner may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of GC -28 gcncond msUipcc 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. 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 GC -29 postponed pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements, except as the Owner may otherwise agree in writing. 6.06 Arbitration All questions of dispute under this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration at the request of either party to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbiter, otherwise, there shall be three, one named in writing by each party, and the third chosen by the two arbiters so selected; or if the arbiters fail to select a third within ten (10) days, he shall 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 gencond msVspec In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written notification from the Owner, or the Engineer, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the orders of the Engineer, when such orders are consistent with the Contract Documents, then, and in that case, where performance and payment bonds exist, the Sureties on these bonds shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the Contractor. GC -30 gencond msVspec 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. 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, GC -31 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 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 'lave not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been wrought into the work. And thereupon the Engineer shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said Contractor (at the prices stated in the attached proposal where unit prices are used), the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot be utilized. The Engineer shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the geneond ms ✓spec GC-32 8. Subcontractors 8.01 Award of Subcontracts for Portions of the Work gencond mstfspec 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. 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.

Concrete blocking shall be placed behind and under all tap sleeves 24 hours prior to making the wet tap. (d) Service Connections Tapping of PVC or AC pipe for service connections may be made using either a service clamp or saddle or a tapping sleeve recommended by the manufacturer and approved as satisfactory by the Engineer. Direct tapping will not be permitted. 510 02!17/94 Page 33 Pipe All service connections shall be installed so that the outlet is at an angle of approximately 45 degrees above horizontal at the main line. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the tapping saddle or sleeve is placed on the pipe straight to prevent any binding or deformation of the PVC pipe. The mounting chain or U-bolt strap must be tight. Tapping shall be performed with a sharp shell type cutter so designed that it will smoothly penetrate heavy walled PVC DR14 and 200 psi AC and will retain and extract the coupon from the pipe. (25) Backfilling (a) General Special emphasis is placed upon the need to obtain uniform density throughout the backfill material. The maximum lift of backfill shall be determined by the compaction equipment selected and in no case shall it exceed 18 inches, loose measurement. No heavy equipment, which might damage pipe, will be allowed over the pipe until sufficient cover has been placed and compacted. All internal pipe bracing installed or recommended by the manufacturer shall be kept in place until the pipe bedding and trench backfill have been completed over the braced pipe section. Testing of the completed backfill in streets and under and around structures shall meet the specified density requirements. Initial testing shall not be at Contractor's expense and shall conform to Section 00344, 'Testing Laboratory Services.' (b) General Corrugated Metal Pipe After the corrugated metal pipe structure has been completely assembled on the proper line and grade and headwalls constructed where indicated; selected material free from rocks over 8 inches in size from excavation or borrow, as approved by the Engineer, shall be placed along both sides of the completed structures equally, in uniform layers not exceeding 6 inches in depth (loose measurement), sprinkled if required and thoroughly compacted between adjacent structures and between the structures and the sides of the trench. Backfill material shall be compacted to the same density requirements as indicated for the adjoining sections of embankment in accordance with the governing specifications thereof. Above the 3/4 point of the structure, the fill shall be placed uniformly on each side of the pipe in layers not to exceed 12 inches, loose measure. Prior to adding each new layer of loose backfill material, until a minimum of 12 inches of cover is obtained over the crown of the pipe, an inspection will be made of the inside periphery of the corrugated metal structure to determine if any floating, local or unequal deformation has occurred as a result of improper construction methods. (c) Backfill Materials The Engineer may approve any of the following well graded materials: 1. Select trench material 2. Sand 3. Crushed rock cuttings 4. Rock cuttings 5. Foundation Rock 6. Blasted material with fines and rock 7. Cement stabilized material 8. Borrow Within the 100 year flood plain, sand will not be permitted for backfilling. The Engineer will approve the topsoil for areas to be seeded or sodded. (d) Backfill in Street Right of Way Placement of backfill under pavement structures and within 2 feet of any structures shall be compacted to the required density using any method, type and size of equipment which will give the required compaction without damaging the pipe or bedding. Placement of backill greater than 2 feet beyond structures in Right of Way shall be conform to (g) below. The depth of layers, prior to compaction, shall depend upon the type of sprinkling and 510 02/17/94 Page 34 Pipe 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 510 compacting equipment used and the test results thereby obtained. Prior to and in conjunction with the compaction operation, each layer shall be brought to the moisture content necessary to obtain the required density and shall be kept level to insure uniform compaction over the entire layer. Testing for density shall be in accordance with Test Method Tex -114 -E and Test Method Tex- 115 -E. Each layer of backfill must provide the density as required herein. Swelling soils (soils with plasticity index of 20 or more) shall be spnnkled as required to provide not less than optimum moisture nor more than 2 percent over optimum moisture content and compacted to the extent necessary to provide not less than 95 percent nor more than 102 percent of the density as determined in accordance with Test Method Tex - 114 -E. Nonswelling soils (soils with plasticity index less than 20) shall be sprinkled as required and compacted to the extent necessary to provide not less than 95 percent of the density as determined in accordance with Test Method Tex - 114 -E. After each layer of backfill is complete, tests may be made by the Engineer. If the material fails to meet the density Indicated, the course shall be reworked as necessary to obtain the indicated compaction and the compaction method shall be altered on subsequent work to obtain indicated density and conform to Section 00344, "Testing Laboratory Services ". At any time, the Engineer may order proof rolling to test the uniformity of compaction of the backfill layers. All irregularities, depressions, weak or soft spots which develop shall be corrected immediately by the Contractor. Should the backfill, due to any reason, lose the required stability, density or finish before the pavement structure is placed, it shall be recompacted and refinished at the sole expense of the Contractor. Excessive loss of moisture in the subgrade shall be prevented by sprinkling, sealing or covering with a subsequent backfilt layer or granular material. Excessive loss of moisture shall be construed to exist when the subgrade soil moisture content is more than 4 percent below the optimum of compaction ratio density. Backfill shall be placed from the top of the bedding material to the existing grade, base course, subgrade or as indicated. The remainder of the street backfill shall be Flexible Base, Concrete or Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete as indicated or to replaced in kind to the surface removed to construct the pipe. (e) BacMill in County Street or State Highway Right of Way All work within the right of way shall meet the requirements of (d) above, as a minimum and shall meet the requirements of the permit issued by the County when their requirements are more stringent. Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor shall be responsible for contacting the appropriate TXDOT office or County Commissioner's Precinct Office and for coordinating his activities with the operating procedures in effect for utility cut permits and pavement repair under their jurisdiction. Approval for all completed work in the State or County right of way shall be obtained from the appropriate Official prior to final payment by the Owner. (f) Backfill in Railroad Right of Way All work within the railroad right of way shall meet the requirements of (d) above, as a minimum and shall meet the requirements of the permit issued by the Railroad Owner when their requirements are more stringent. Approval for all completed work in the railroad right of way shall be obtained from the Railroad prior to final acceptance. (g) Backfill in Easements Where not otherwise indicated, Contractor may select whatever methods and procedures may be necessary to restore entire work area to a safe, useful and geologically stable condition with a minimum density of 85 percent or a density superior to that pnor to construction. In and near flood plain of all streams and watercourses, under or adjacent to utilities, structures, etc., all backfill shall be compacted to a density of not less than 95 percent conforming to TXDOT Test Method Tex - 114 -E, unless otherwise directed by Engineer. All soil areas disturbed by construction shall be covered with top soil and seeded conforming to Items No. 604, "Seeding for Erosion Control". All turf, drainways and drainage structures shall be constructed or replaced to their original condition or better. No debris shall remain in the drainways or drainage structures. (26) Quality Testing for Installed Pipe (a) Wastewater Pipe Acceptance Testing After construction is complete, Engineer will determine whether the pipeline is to be tested for infiltration, exfiltration or by the low pressure air test method. In addition, plastic pipe 18 inches and larger in diameter shall be deflection tested. 02/17/94 Page 35 Pipe Wastewater pipe installed in the City of Austin and its ETJ areas shall be tested for exfiltration or infiltration as described below in "Exfiltration Test" and "Infiltration Test" or by acceptable low pressure air test, as descnbed below. At the conclusion of either test series, the work shall be further tested for pipeline settlement and also for deflection as described below. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for making proper repairs to those elements which do not pass these test requirements. (b) Exfiltration Test The pipeline shall be completely filled with water for its complete length or by sections as determined by the Engineer. If tested for its complete length, the maximum head at any point shall not exceed 25 feet unless otherwise indicated. If tested in sections, the manholes in the test section shall be completely filled with water. After the pipeline has been filled and allowed to stand for 24 hours, the amount of exfiltration shall be calculated. Any amount in excess of 200 gallons per inch of Inside pipe diameter per mile per day shall be cause for rejection. For portions of lines located within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone or within any recharge area or recharge feature within the Edwards Aquifer Transition Zone, the minimum head during testing shall not be less than 2 feet and the leakage rate shall not exceed 50 gallons per inch of inside pipe diameter per mile per day. This rate shall apply for the entire portion of the line extending up to the first manhole located outside the recharge zone, recharge area, or recharge features indicated on plans and shall also be applicable for any recharge areas or recharge features which may be identified during construction. For construction within the 25 year flood plain, the exfiltration rate shall not exceed 10 gallons per inch diameter per mile of pipe per 24 hours at the same minimum test head (c) Infiltration Test When the pipe placed in easements is completed, the upper portion of the trench backfill shall be removed to a depth of not less than 18 inches below the finished surface and width equal to the original trench width. The trench shall then be flooded with water until it is completely saturated and water stands in the ditch a minimum of 12 inches deep. In cases of steep terrain, earthen dikes shall be used to assure that water will stand over the trench. After it is apparent that the trench is completely saturated, the main shall then be inspected with closed- circuit television for infiltration. Any section of the main or any service stub that indicates excessive infiltration shall be cause for rejection. This procedure shall not be used for pipes installed in areas where the Plasticity Index (P.I.) of the surrounding material is 20 or higher or where the backfill material has a P.I. of 20 or more. For portions of lines located within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone or within any recharge area or recharge feature within the Edwards Aquifer Transition Zone, the total infiltration as determined by water test, must be at a rate not greater than 50 gallons per inch of pipe diameter per mile of pipe per 24 hours at a minimum test head of two feet. This rate shall apply for the entire portion of the line extending up to the first manhole located outside the recharge zone, recharge area, or recharge features indicated on plans and shall also be applicable for any recharge areas or recharge features which may be identified during construction. For construction within the 25 year flood plain, the infiltration rate shall not exceed 10 gallons per inch diameter per mile of pipe per 24 hours at the same minimum test head. If the quantity of infiltration exceeds the maximum quantity specified, remedial action must be undertaken in order to reduce the infiltration to an amount within the limits specified. (d) Pipeline Settlement Test During the infiltration test or after the exfiltration test, the pipe will be TV inspected for possible settlement. When air testing has been used, water shall be flowed into the pipe to permit meaningful observations. Any pipe settlement which causes excessive ponding of water in the pipe shall be cause for rejection. (e) Low Pressure Air Test of Plastic Gravity Flow Wastewater Lines (1) General Wastewater lines, at the discretion of the Engineer, shall be air tested between manholes. Backfilling to grade shall be completed before the test and all laterals and stubs shall be capped or plugged by the Contractor so as not to allow air losses which could cause an erroneous test result. Manholes shall be plugged so they are isolated from the pipe and cannot be included in the test. All plugs used to close the sewer for the air test shall be capable of resisting the internal pressures and must be securely braced. Place all air testing equipment above ground and allow no one to enter a manhole or trench where a plugged sewer is under pressure. Release all pressure before the plugs are removed. The testing equipment used must include a pressure relief device designed to relieve pressure in the sewer under test at 10 psi or less and must allow continuous monitoring of the test pressures in order to avoid excessive pressure Use 510 02/17/94 Page 36 Pipe care to avoid the flooding of the air inlet by infiltrated ground water. (Inject the air at the upper plug if possible.) Use only qualified personnel to conduct the test. (2) Ground Water Since the presence of ground water will affect the test results, test holes shall be dug to the pipe zone at intervals of not more than 100 feet and the average height of ground water above the pipe (if any) shall be determined before starting the test. (3) Test Procedure The Engineer may, at any time, require a calibration check of the instrumentation used. Use a pressure gauge having minimum divisions of 0.10 psi and an accuracy of 0.0625 psi. (One ounce per square inch.) All air used shall pass through a single control panel. Clean the sewer to be tested and remove all debris where Indicated. Wet the sewer prior to testing. The average back pressure of any groundwater shall be determined (0.433 psi) for each foot of average water depth (if any) above the sewer. Add air slowly to the section of sewer being tested until the intemal air pressure is raised to 4.0 psig greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that may submerge the pipe. After the internal test pressure is reached, allow at least 2 minutes for the air temperature to stabilize, adding only the amount of air required to maintain pressure. After the temperature stabilization period, disconnect the air supply. Determine and record the time in seconds that is required for the internal air pressure to drop from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that may submerge the pipe. Compare the time recorded with the: specification time for the size and length of pipe as given in the following table: TABLE FOR LOW PRESSURE AIR TESTING OF PLASTIC PIPE MINIMUM SPECIFIED TIME REQUIRED FOR 1.0 PSIG PRESSURE DROP FOR SIZE AND LENGTH OF PIPE INDICATED Pipe Diameter Specification Time (min:sec) for length shown (in.) 100ft 150ft 200ft 250ft 300ft 350ft 400ft 450f( 4 3:46 3:46 3:46 3:46 3:46 3:46 3:46 3:46 6 5:40 5:40 5:40 5:40 5:40 5:40 5:42 6:24 8 7:34 7:34 7:34 7:34 7:36 8:52 1008 1124 10 9:26 9:26 9:26 9:53 11:52 13:51 15:49 17:48 12 11 11 11.24 14.1 17 1 6 47 25 3a 15 14:10 14:10 17:48 22:15 26:42 31:09 35:36 40.04 18 17 . 00 19 •� •D 8 27 4 2 1 1 7 41 21 19:50 26:10 34:54 43:37 ' 52:21 61:00 69:48 78'31 24 22:47 34:11 45:34 56:58 68•22 79:46 91:10 102 27 28:51 43:16 57:41 72:07 86:32 100:57 115:22 129 30 35:37 53:25 71:13 89:02 106:50 124:38 142:26 160:15 33 43:05 64:38 86:10 107:43 129:16 150:43 172:21 193'53 36 51:17 76:55 102:34 128:12 153:50 179:29 205:07 230 46 NOTES • 1. Specification times are as given in UNI -B•6 RECOMMENDED,PRACTICE FOR LOW PRESSURE TESTING OF INSTALLED PIPE -- by Uni -Bell PVC Pipe Association, 2655 Villa Creek Dr., Ste. 155, Dallas Texas 75234. • 2. Pipe Sizes acceptable by City of Austin are as given on Qualified Products Lists (APL's) WW-227 and WW- 227A. Any drop in pressure, from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig (adjusted for groundwater level), in a time fess than that required by the above table shall be cause for rejection. When the line tested includes more than one size pipe. the minimum time shall be that given for the largest size pipe included 510 02/17/94 Page 37 Pipe 510 Test procedure for wastewater pipe located in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone or identified recharge areas or recharge features within the Edwards Aquifer Transition Zone: Low - pressure air tests must conform to the procedure described in ASTM C -924 or other equivalent procedures. For safety reasons, air testing of pipe sections will be limited to hne sizes of 36 inches inside diameter or less. Lines that are 36 inches or larger inside diameter may be air tested at each joint. The minimum time allowable for the pressure to drop from 3.5 pounds per square inch to 2.5 pounds per square inch gauge during a joint test, regardless of pipe size, shall be twenty (20) seconds. For sections of pipe less than 36 -inch inside diameter, the minimum time allowable for the pressure to drop from 3.5 pounds per square inch gauge to 2.5 pounds per square inch gauge must be computed by the following equation: T = 0.0850 (D)(K) /(Q), where T = time for pressure to drop 1.0 pounds per square inch gauge in seconds; K = 0.000419(D)(L), but not less than 1.0 D = nominal inside diameter in inches; L = length of line of same pipe size in feet; and Q = rate of loss, assume 0.0015 cubic feet per minute per square foot (ft /min/ft sq) of internal surface area Any drop in pressure, from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig, in a time less than that required by the above formula shall be cause for rejection. When the line tested includes more than one size of pipe, the minimum time shall be that calculated for the largest size pipe included. Manholes must be tested separately and independently. All manholes must be hydrostatically tested with a maximum loss allowance of 0.025 gallon per foot diameter per foot of head per hour. When lines are air tested, manholes are to be tested separately by exfiltration or. vacuum method (see Item 506, Manholes). (f) Deflection Test Deflection tests shall be performed by the Contractor on all flexible and semi -rigid wastewater pipes. The tests shall be conducted after the final backlit! has been in place at least 30 days. Testing for in -place deflection shall be with a pipe mandrel or rigid ball sized at 95% of the inside diameter of the pipe. A second test of flexible and semi -rigid wastewater pipes 18 inch size and larger, also with a pipe mandrel or ball sized at 95% of the inside diameter of the pipe, shall be conducted by the Contractor 30 days prior to expiration of his warranty on the work. Contractor shall submit his proposed pipe mandrels or testing balls to the Engineer or his designated representative for concurrence prior to testing the line. Test(s) must be performed without mechanical pulling devices and must be witnessed by the Engineer or his designated representative. Any deficiencies noted shall be corrected by the Contractor and the test(s) shall be redone. (27) Pressure Pipe Hydrostatic Testing After the pipe has been installed and backfilled and all service laterals, fire hydrants and other appurtenances installed and connected, a pressure test, followed by a leakage test, will be conducted by the City. The City will furnish the pump and gauges for the tests. The Contractor shall be present and shall furnish all necessary assistance for conducting the tests. The specified test pressures will be based on the elevation of the lowest point of the hne or section under test. Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. If permanent air vents are not located at all high points, the Contractor shall install corporation cocks at such points All drain hydrant and fire hydrant leads, with the main 6 -inch gate valve open, the hydrant valve seats closed and nozzle caps open, shall be included in the test. (a) Pressure Test The entire project or each valved section shall be tested, at a pressure of 200 psi for a sufficient period (approximately 10 minutes) to discover all leaking or defective materials. Repairs shall be made by the Contractor to correct any leaking or defective materials. 02/17/94 Page 38 Pipe 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 (b) Pressure Pipe Leakage Test A leakage test will follow the pressure test and be conducted on the entire project or each valved section. The leakage test shall be at 150 psi for at least 1 hour. (1) Allowable Leakage Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be supplied into any test section of pipe to maintain the specified leakage test pressure (see above, "Pressure Pipe Leakage Test") after the air in the pipeline has been expelled and the pipe has been tilled with water. No pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage exceeds 25 gallons /24 hours/mile of pipelnch nominal pipe diameter. ( 25 god 1 (in. - mi.) (2) Location and Correction of Leakage If such testing discloses leakage in excess of this specified allowable, the Contractor, at his expense,_shall locate and correct all defects in the pipe line until the leakage is within the indicated allowance. All visible leakage in pipe shall also be corrected by Contractor at his own expense. (28) Service Charges for Testing No charge will be made to the Contractor for the City's test equipment, inspection, etc., when the test results show that leakage is within the indicated allowable limits. For each test, either for leakage or for pressure, which fails to meet the indicated requirements, the City's flat charge of $50.00 for such tests will be charged to the Contractor and will be deducted from any funds due the Contractor. (29) Sterilization of Potable Water Lines The Contractor shall protect all piping materials from contamination during storage, handling and installation. Prior to disinfection, the pipeline interior shall be clean, dry and unobstructed. All dirt, debris, gasket lubricant, etc., shall be washed from the line by swabbing with hypochlorite solution and/or flushing with clean water. The City, at its expense, will supply the test gauges and the concentrated disinfecting material and City personnel will supervise and direct the overall sterilization procedure. The Contractor, at his expense, shall provide all other equipment, supplies and the necessary labor to perform the sterilization under general supervision of the City. (a) Procedure and Dosage All valves shall be arranged to prevent the strong disinfecting dosage from flowing back into the existing water supply piping. The new pipeline shall then be completely filled with disinfecting solution by feeding the concentrated chlorine and approved water from the existing system uniformly into the new piping in such proportions that every part of the line has minimum concentration of 50 parts per million (50 ppm or 50 mg/liter) available chlorine. Unless otherwise indicated, all quantities called for herein refer to measurements by the testing procedures in the current edition of "Standard Methods ". The chlorine concentration`of each step in the sterilization procedure shall be verified by chlorine residual determinations. This disinfecting solution shall be retained in the piping for at least 24 hours and all valves, hydrants, etc., shall be operated to disinfect all their parts. After this retention period, the water shall contain no less than 25 parts per million chlorine throughout the treated section of the pipeline. This heavily chlorinated•water shall then be carefully flushed from the line until the chlorine concentration is no higher than the residual generally prevailing in the existing distribution system or approximately one part per million. Proper planning and appropriate preparations to handle, dilute and dispose of this strong chlorine solution without causing injury or damage to the public, the water system or the environment must be approved by the City before flushing of the line may begin and the flushing will be witnessed by an authorized representative of the City. 510 02/17/94 Page 39 Pipe 510.4 Measurement (b) Bacteriological Testing After final flushing of the strong disinfecting solution, water samples from the line will be tested for bacteriological quality by the City and must be found free of coliform organisms before the pipeline may be placed in service. One test sample will be drawn from the end of the main and additional samples collected at intervals of not more than 1000 feet along the pipeline. The Contractor, at his expense, shall install sufficient sampling taps at proper locations along the pipeline. Each sampling tap shall consist of a standard corporation cock installed in the line and extended with a copper tubing gooseneck assembly. After samples have been collected, the gooseneck assembly may be removed and retained for future use. Samples for bacteriological analysis will be collected only from suitable sampling taps in sterile bottles treated with sodium thiosulfate. Samples shall not be drawn from hoses, fire hydrants, etc. The City, at its expense, will furnish the sterile sample bottles and may, at its discretion, collect the test samples with City personnel. If the initial disinfection fails to produce acceptable sample tests, the disinfection procedure shall be repeated (without extra compensation) until satisfactory test results have been obtained before the piping may be placed in service. (30) Cleanup and Restoration It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to keep the construction site neat, clean and orderly at all times. Cleanup shall be vigorous and continuous to minimize traffic hazards or obstructions along the streets and to driveways. Trenching, backfill, pavement repair (as necessary), and cleanup shall be coordinated as directed by the City. The Engineer will regulate the amount of open ditch and may halt additional trenching if cleanup is not adequate to allow for orderly traffic flow and access. Materials at the site shall be stored in a neat and orderly manner so as not to obstruct pedestnan or vehicular traffic. All damaged material shall be removed from the construction site immediately and disposed of in a proper manner. All surplus excavated materials become the property of the Contractor for disposal at his expense. After trenching, the Contractor shall immediately remove all excavated materials unsuitable for or in excess of, backfill requirements. Immediately following the pipe laying work as ft progresses, the Contractor shall backfill, grade and compact all excavations as provided elsewhere and shall immediately clean up and remove all unused soil, waste and debris and restore all surfaces and improvements to a condition equal or superior to that before construction began and to an appearance which complements the surroundings. The Contractor shall grade and dress the top 6 inches of earth surfaces with soil or other material similar and equal to the surrounding, fill and smooth any visible tracks or ruts, replace and re- establish all damaged or disturbed turf or other vegetation and otherwise make every effort to encourage the return of the entire surface and all improvements to a pleasant appearance and useful condition appropriate and complementary to the surroundings and equal or similar to that before construction began. Permanent pavement replacement, if necessary, shall begin immediately after all testing of each segment of piping is satisfactorily completed. Pipe will be measured by the linear foot for the various types, sizes and classes. Parallel lines will be measured individually. Where a line ties into an existing system, the length of the new line will be measured from the visible end of the existing system at the completed Joint. Unless otherwise indicated, the length of water and wastewater lines will be measured along pipe horizontal centerline stationing through fittings, valves, manholes, and other appurtenances. Unless otherwise provided, fitting sizes less than 16 -inch will be measured by the ton; 16 -inch and larger sizes will be subsidiary to the pipe. Stormwater pipe will be measured along the slope of the pipe. Where drainage pipe ties into inlets, headwalls, catch basins, manholes, junction boxes or other structures that length of pipe tying into the structure wall will be included for measurement but no other portion of the structure length or width will be so included. Pipe depth will be measured from the existing ground surface in easements and from existing ground surface or proposed street subgrade in the right -of -way, whichever is less, over the centerline of the pipe to the flowline elevation. When pay items are provided for the other components of the system, measurement will be made as addressed hereunder. 510 02/17/94 Page 40 Pipe 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 510.5 Payment Payment for pipe, measured as prescnbed above, will be made at the unit price bid per linear foot for the various sizes of pipe, of the materials and type indicated, unless unstable material is encountered or trench excavation and backfill is bid as a separate item.
