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 the contract for work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the Contractor, or another contractor, in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefore (except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under paragraph 24 of this contract); 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. rr F 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: (a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of 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 the 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 (b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice published as required by law, at least twice in a newspaper having a r- general circulation in the County of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract.

In 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 f 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, r" 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 *jobsite and belong to persons other than the �. Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners. ' 50. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse 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 ground that have not been �- included in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorporated into the work. Thereupon, the Owner's a Representative 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 the attached proposal, the value of all partially t.. 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 Owner's Representative 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 r 7 who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance Paw shown by said final statement as due the Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement k 51. BONDS The successfW bidder shall be required to furnish a performance bond and payment bond in accordance with Article 5160, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes in the amount of 1009/* of the total contract price, in the event said contract price exceeds S25,000.00.

PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 ANCHOR TRENCH The anchor trench shall be excavated as specified prior to liner system placement. 3.2 PLACEMENT A. The Installer shall be responsible for the following: • No equipment or tools shall damage the geomembrane by handling, trafficking, or other means. • No personnel working on the geomembrane shall smoke, wear damaging shoes, or engage in other activities that could damage the geomembrane. 2745-95 02245 - 11 • The method used to unroll the panels shall not cause scratches or crimps in the geomembrane and shall not cause indentations in the supporting soil greater than one inch deep or damage to the underlying geotextile. • The method used to place the panels shall minimize wrinkles. Wrinkles shall be identified as to proper location and compensation shall be identified on the Contractor's and Engineer's drawings. Ballast shall be used to prevent relocation of the compensating wrinkles by wind. • Adequate loading (e.g., sand bags or similar items that will not damage the geomembrane) shall be placed to prevent uplift by wind (in case of high winds, continuous loading is recommended along edges of panels to minimize risk of wind flow under the panels). • Direct contact with the geomembrane shall be minimized, i.e., the geomembrane in traffic areas is protected by geotextiles, extra geomembrane, or other suitable materials. B. Weather Limitations Geomembrane deployment shall proceed between ambient temperatures of 32•F to 104•F. Placement can proceed below 32•F only after it has been verified by the Engineer that the material can be seamed according to the specification. Below 40•F, preheat of the FML may be required. Geomembrane placement shall not be done during any precipitation, in the presence of excessive moisture (e.g., fog, rain, dew) or in the presence of excessive winds, as determined by the installation supervisor. C. Factory Seam Quality Verifications The Engineer will require the Contractor to test up to as much as 20% of factory fusion welds (non-destructive air pressure test and/or vacuum test) in the field to verify factory test results. Additional testing at the Installer's expense will be required if failed tests are obtained in the field. 3.3 FIELD SEAMING Seams shall be oriented parallel to the line of maximum slope, i.e., oriented down, not across the slope. In corners and odd -shaped geometric locations, the number of field seams shall be minimized. No base T-seam shall be closer than 5 feet from the toe of the slope. Seams shall be aligned with the least possible number of wrinkles and "fishmouths." If a fishmouth or wrinkle is found, it shall be relieved and cap -stripped. A. Seam Overlap Panels of geomembrane must have a finished overlap of a minimum of 4 inches for hot shoe fusion welding and 3 inches for extrusion welding, but in any event sufficient overlap shall be provided to allow peel tests to be performed on the seam. r- 2745-95 02245 - 12 L - No solvent or adhesive may be used unless the, product is approved by the Owners Representative. (Samples shall be submitted to the Design Engineer for testing and evaluation). The procedure used to temporarily bond adjacent panels together shall not damage the geomembrane; in particular, the temperature of hot air at the nozzle of any spot welding apparatus shall be controlled such that the geomembrane is not damaged. B. Seaming Equipment and Accessories Approved equipment for field seaming are hot shoe fusion welders and extrusion welders. 1. Hot Shoe Welder, 110 Volt, 10.Amps. 2. Extrusion Welder, 220 Volt, 19 Amps. 3. High-speed, 10,000 rpm, 4% inch side grinder with 80-grit discs. 4. 7.5 KW Generator, single-phase with 110/220 Volt Outputs. 5.

Field Tensiometer, capable of performing seam and peel adhesion tests for quantitative testing on -site. C. Test Seams Field test seams shall be conducted on geomembrane liner to verify that seaming conditions are satisfactory. Test seams shall be conducted for each seamer at the beginning of each seaming period, at the Engineer's discretion, and at least once each 4 hours, for each seaming apparatus used that day. All test seams shall be made at a location selected by the Engineer in the area of the seaming and in contact with the subgrade. The test seam samples shall be 10 feet long for hot shoe welding and 3 feet long for extrusion welding with the seam centered lengthwise. Specimens 1 inch wide shall be cut from each opposite end of the test seam by the Engineer. The Engineer shall use a tensiometer provided by the Installer to test these specimens for shear and peel. If a test seam fails to meet field seam specifications, the seaming apparatus and/or seamer shall not be accepted and shall not be used for seaming until the deficiencies are corrected and two consecutive successful full test seams are achieved. D. Non -Destructive Seam Testing The Installer shall non-destructively test all field seams over their full length. All test equipment, including but not limited �-- to the following shall be furnished by the Installer: j 1. Vacuum Box testing Equipment for testing single wedge fusion seams and extrusion seams shall be comprised of the following: • A vacuum box assembly consisting of a rigid housing, a transparent viewing window, a soft rubber gasket �`' 2745-95 02245 - 13 attached to the bottom, port hole or valve assembly, and a vacuum gauge. • A steel vacuum tank and pump assembly equipped with a pressure controller and pipe connections. • A rubber pressure/vacuum hose with fittings and connections. • A plastic bucket and wide paint brush. • A soapy solution. The following procedures shall be followed by the installer: • Excess sheet overlap shall be trimmed away. • Clean the window, gasket surfaces and check for leaks. • Energize the vacuum pump and reduce the tank pressure to approximately 3-5 psi. • Wet a strip of geomembrane approximately 12 inches by 48 inches (length of box) with the soapy solution. • Place the box over the wetted area and compress. • Close the bleed valve and open the vacuum valve. • Ensure that a leak tight seal is created, • For a period of approximately 15 seconds, examine the geomembrane through the viewing window for the presence of soap bubbles. -- • If no bubbles appear after 15 seconds, close the vacuum valve and open the bleed valve, move the box over the next adjoining area with a minimum 3 inches overlap and repeat the process. • All areas where soap bubbles appear shall be marked and repaired and then retested. The following procedures shall apply to locations where seams cannot be non-destructively tested, as determined by the Engineer: If the seam is accessible to testing equipment prior to final installation, the seam shall be non-destructively tested prior to final installation. • If the seam cannot be tested prior to final installation, the seaming operations shall be observed by the Engineer for uniformity and completeness. 2. Air Pressure Testing (For Double Fusion Seam Only) The following procedures are applicable to those processes which produce a double seam with an enclosed space. Equipment for testing double fusion seams shall be comprised of the following: • An air pump equipped with pressure gauge capable of generating and sustaining a pressure between 25 and 30 psi and mounted on a cushion to protect the geomembrane. • A manometer equipped with a sharp hollow needle, or other approved pressure feed device. The following procedures shall be followed by the Installer: • Seal one end of the seam to be tested. 2745-95 02245 - 14 a V Insert needle or other approved pressure feed device through the sealed end of the channel created by the double wedge fusion weld. • Energize the air pump to verify the unobstructed passage of air through the channel. �..,0 Seal the other end of the channel. Energize the air pump to a pressure between 25 and 30 ~ psi, close valve, and sustain pressure for approximately 5 minutes. • If loss of pressure exceeds 4 psi, or pressure does not stabilize, locate faulty area, repair and retest. Remove needle or other approved pressure feed device and seal. E. Destructive Seam Testing The Installer shall provide the Engineer with a minimum of one destructive test sample per 500 feet of seam length from a location specified by the Engineer. The Installer shall not be informed in advance of the sample location. 1. Sampling Procedure In order to obtain test results prior to completion of liner installation, samples shall be cut by the Installer as the �" seaming progresses. A destructive test must be done for each E welding machine used for seaming or repairs. Sampling times and locations, shall be determined by the Engineer. The Engineer must witness the obtainment of all field test samples and the Installer shall mark all samples with their t location roll and seam number. The Installer shall also record in written form the date, time, location, roll seam number, ambient temperatures, and pass or fail description. A copy of the information must be attached to each sample portion. All holes in the geomembrane resulting from r, obtaining the seam samples shall be immediately repaired. All patches shall be vacuum tested. 2. Size and Disposition of Samples The samples shall be 12 inches wide by 36 inches long with the seam centered lengthwise. The sample shall be cut into two equal length pieces, and given to the Engineer. 3. Field Testing The Installer shall cut six 1-inch wide replicate specimens from his sample and these shall be tested by the Engineer. The Installer shall test two specimens (four when possible for testing both tracks on dual -track fusion welded seams) for peel strength. All tests to be witnessed by the Engineer. To be acceptable, both test specimens must pass. Any specimen that fails through the weld or by adhesion at the weldsheet interface is a Non-FTB break and shall be considered a failure. 4. Independent Laboratory -Testing The Engineer will package and ship all destructive seam a samples to an independent testing Laboratory for determination and verification of all field shear and peel 2745-95 02245 - 15 r strengths. The test method and procedures to be used by the Independent Laboratory shall be the same used in field testing, where seam samples are 1 inch wide, and the grip separation rate is 2 ipm. The minimum passing criteria for independent laboratory testing are all three of the following: Al• l seam samples tested in the peel mode must fail in FTB. • At least four of five seam samples from each peel and shear determination must meet the minimum specified value. • The average value from all five seam samples from each peel and shear determination must meet the minimum specified value. The above criteria apply to both tracks from each dual -track fusion welded seam before it is considered as passing. ALL FAILED LAB TESTS WILL BE PAID FOR BY THE INSTALLER. 5. Archive Samples The Installer will package and ship the remaining samples to the Engineer for archival. The samples shall include information that indicates where the sample was taken. 6. Procedures for Destructive Test Failure The following procedures shall apply whenever a sample fails the field destructive test: • The installer shall cap strip the seam between the failed location and any passed test location. • The installer can retrace the welding path to an intermediate location (at a minimum of 10 feet from the location of the failed test), at the Engineer's discretion, and take a small sample for an additional field test. If this test passes, then the seam shall be cap stripped between that location and the original failed location. If the test fails, then the process is repeated. • Over the length of seam failure, the Contractor shall either cut out the old seam, reposition the panel and reseam, or add a cap strip, as required by the Engineer. • After reseaming or placement of the cap strip, additional destructive field test(s) shall be taken within the reseamed area. The reseamed sample shall be found acceptable if test results are approved by the Engineer. If test results are not acceptable, this process shall be repeated until the reseamed length is judged satisfactory by the Engineer. In the event that a sample fails a laboratory destructive test,- then the above procedures shall be followed, considering laboratory tests exclusively. The Engineer will document all actions taken in conjunction with destructive test failures. -- 2745-95 02245 - 16 F. Defects and Repairs All seams and non -seam areas of the geomembrane shall be inspected by the Engineer for defects, holes, blisters, undispersed raw materials, and any sign of contamination by foreign matter. Because light reflected by the geomembrane helps to detect defects, the surface of the geomembrane shall be clean at the time of inspection. The geomembrane surface shall be brushed, blown, or washed by the Installer if the amount of dust or mud inhibits inspection. The Engineer shall decide if cleaning of the geomembrane is needed to facilitate inspection. 1. Evaluation Each suspect location in seam and non -seam areas shall be non-destructively tested as appropriate in the presence of the Engineer. Each location that fails the non-destructive testing shall be marked by the Engineer, and repaired accordingly. 2. Repair Procedures • Defective seams shall be restarted/reseamed as described in these specifications. • Small holes shall be repaired by extrusion cap welding. If the hole is larger than % inch, it shall be patched. • Tears shall be repaired by patching. Where the tear is on a slope or an area of stress and has a sharp end it must be rounded prior to patching. • Blisters, large holes, undispersed raw materials, and contamination by foreign matter shall be repaired by patches. • Surfaces of HDPE which are to be patched shall be abraded and cleaned no more than 15 minutes prior to the repair. No more than 10% of the thickness shall be removed. Patches shall be round or oval in shape, made of the same geomembrane, and extend a minimum of 6 inches beyond the edge of defects. All patches shall be of the same compound and thickness as the geomembrane specified. All patches shall have their top edge beveled with an angle grinder prior to placement on the geomembrane. Patches shall be applied using approved methods only. 3. Restart/Reseaming Procedures The welding process shall restart by grinding the existing seam and rewelding a new seam. Welding shall commence where the grinding started and must overlap the previous seam by at least 2 inches. Reseaming over an existing seam without regrinding shall not be permitted. k, 4. Verification of Repairs Each repair shall be non-destructively tested, except when -^ the Engineer requires a destructive seam sample obtained from a repaired seam. Repairs that pass the non-destructive test shall be taken as an indication of an adequate repair. Failed tests indicate that the repair shall be repeated and retested # until passing test results are achieved. 2745-95 02245 - 17 Recording of Results: daily documentation of all non-destructive and destructive testing shall be provided to the Engineer by the Installer. -This documentation shall identify all seams that initially failed the test and include evidence that these seams were repaired and successfully retested. 3.4 GEOMEMBRANE ACCEPTANCE The Installer shall retain all ownership and responsibility for the r geomembrane until acceptance by the Owner. The surface of the geomembrane shall not have striations, roughness, pinholes, or bubbles and shall be free of holes, blisters, undispersed raw materials, or any contamination by foreign matter; except that if in the opinion of the Engineer the blemish will not adversely affect properties and use of the geomembrane, the Engineer may accept the geomembrane after sufficient laboratory test data are provided to support such acceptance, and further, provided all such testing is done at the sole expense of the Installer. The geomembrane liner shall be accepted by the Owner when all of the following conditions are met: • Installation is finished. • Verification of the adequacy of all field seams and repairs, including associated testing, is complete. • Written certification, including "as built" drawing(s), is provided by the Installer to the Engineer. • Documentation of completed installation, including all reports is complete. • Acceptance of "Flexible Membrane Liner Evaluation Report" by the TNRCC.
