contemplated by the contract documents have been paid in full and that there are no claims pending, of which the
Contractor has been notified.
MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
The intent of these contract documents is that only materials and workmanship of the best quality and grade will
be furnished. The fact that the specifications may fail to be sufficiently complete in some detail will not relieve
the Contractor of full responsibility for providing materials of high quality and for protecting them adequately until
incorporated into the project. The presence or absence of a representative of the City on the site will not relieve
the Contractor of full responsibility of complying with this provision. The specifications for materials and methods
set forth in the contract documents provide minimum standards of quality which the Owner believes necessary to
procure a satisfactory project.
GUARANTEES
All equipment and materials incorporated in the project and all construction shall be guaranteed against defective
materials and workmanship. Prior to final acceptance, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner, a written general
guarantee which shall provide that the Contractor shall remedy any defects in the work, and pay for any and all
damages of any nature whatsoever resulting in such defects, when such defects appear within ONE year from
date of final acceptance of the work as a result of defective materials or workmanship, at no cost to the Owner
(City of Lubbock).
Notwithstanding any provisions contained in the contractual agreement, the Contractor represents and warrants
fault -free performance and fault -free result in the processing date and date -related data (including, but not limited
to calculating, comparing and sequencing) of all hardware, software and firmware products delivered and services
provided under this Contract, individually or in combination, as the case may be from the effective date of this
Contract. Also, the Contractor warrants the year 2000 calculations will be recognized and accommodated and will
not, in any way, result in hardware, software or firmware failure. The City of Lubbock, at its sole option, may
require the Contractor, at any time, to demonstrate the procedures it intends to follow in order to comply with all
the obligations contained herein.
The obligations contained herein apply to products and services provided by the Contractor, its sub -contractor or
any third party involved in the creation or development of the products and services to be delivered to the City of
Lubbock under this Contract. Failure to comply with any of the obligations contained herein, may result in the City
of Lubbock availing itself of any of its rights under the law and under this Contract including, but not limited to, its
right pertaining to termination or default.
The warranties contained herein are separate and discrete from any other warranties specified in this Contract,
and are not subject to any disclaimer of warranty, implied or expressed, or limitation to the Contractor's liability
which may be specified in this Contract, its appendices, its schedules, its annexes or any document incorporated
in this Contract by reference.
10. PLANS FOR THE CONTRACTOR

Contractor. The Contractor shall then distribute copies of plans and specifications to suppliers, subcontractors or
others, as required for proper prosecution of the work contemplated by the Contractor.

(a) The experience record of the bidder showing completed jobs of a similar nature to the one covered by
the intended contract and all work in progress with bond amounts and percentage completed.
(b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of the bidder.

The Contractor must obtain a limited sales, excise and use tax permit which shall enable him to buy the materials
to be incorporated into the work without paying the tax at the time of purchase.
13. PROTECTION OF SUBSURFACE LINES AND STRUCTURES
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to prosecute the work contemplated by the contract documents in such a
way as to exercise due care to locate and prevent damage to all underground pipelines, utility lines, conduits or
other underground structures which might or could be damaged by Contractor during the construction of the
project contemplated by these contract documents. The City of Lubbock agrees that it will furnish Contractor the
location of all such underground lines and utilities of which it has knowledge. However, such fact shall not relieve
the Contractor of his responsibilities aforementioned. All such underground lines or structures cut or damaged by
Contractor during the prosecution of the work contemplated by this contract shall be repaired immediately by
Contractor to the satisfaction of the City of Lubbock, Texas, at Contractor's expense.
14. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES

shall take such other precautionary measures for the protection of persons, property and the work as may be
necessary. The Contractor will be held responsible for all damage to the work due to failure of barricades, signs,
and lights to protect it, and when damage is incurred, the damaged portion shall be immediately removed and
replaced by Contractor at his own cost and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of
barricades, signs, and lights shall not cease until the date of issuance to Contractor of City's certificate of
acceptance of the project.
15. EXPLOSIVES
The use of explosives will not be permitted unless written permission to do so is obtained by the Contractor from
the City. In all cases where written permission is obtained for the use of explosives, the Contractor shall assume
full responsibility for all damage which may occur as a direct or indirect result of the blasting. In addition, in all
cases where explosives are authorized to be used, the Contractor shall use utmost care so as not to endanger life
or property and the Contractor shall further use only such methods as are currently utilized by persons, firms, or
corporations engaged in similar type of construction activity.
Explosive materials shall not be stored or kept at the construction site by the Contractor.
In all cases where explosives are to be used during the construction of the project contemplated by this contract, it
shall be the duty of the Contractor to notify each utility company having structures (above or below the ground) in
proximity to the site of the work of Contractor's intention to use explosives, and such notice shall be given
3
1
sufficiently in advance to enable the companies to take such steps as they may deem necessary to protect their
property from injury. Such notice, however, shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any damage
resulting from his blasting operations.
16. CONTRACTOR'S REPRESENTATIVE
The successful bidder shall be required to have a responsible local representative available at all times while the
work is in progress under this contract. The successful bidder shall be required to furnish the name, address and
telephone number where such local representative may be reached during the time that the work contemplated by
this contract is in progress.

The Contractor shall not commence work under this contract until he has obtained all insurance as required in the
General Conditions of the contract documents, from an underwriter authorized to do business in the State of
Texas and satisfactory to the City. Proof of coverage shall be furnished to the City and written notice of
cancellation or any material change will be provided ten (10) days in advance of cancellation or change. All
policies shall contain an agreement on the part of the insurer waiving the right to subrogation. The Contractor
shall procure and carry at his sole cost and expense through the life of this contract, insurance protection as
hereinafter specified. Coverage in excess of that specified herein also shall be acceptable. Such insurance shall
be carried with an insurance company authorized to transact business in the State of Texas and shall cover all
operations in connection with this contract, whether performed by the Contractor or a subcontractor, or separate
policies shall be provided covering the operation of each subcontractor. A certificate of insurance specifying each
and all coverage's shall be submitted prior to contract execution.

shall be accompanied by a statement from the Contractor to the effect that no work on this particular
project shall be subcontracted. It shall be the contractors responsibility to provide to the owner all proof
of coverage insurance documents including workers compensation coverage for each subcontractor,
18. LABOR AND WORKING HOURS
Attention of each bidder is particularly called to the schedule of general prevailing rate of per diem wages included
in these contract documents. The wage rate which must be paid on this project shall not be less than specified in
the schedule of general prevailing rates of per diem wages as above mentioned. The bidders' attention is further
directed to the requirements of Article 5159x, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes providing for the payment of the
wage schedules above mentioned and the bidder's obligations thereunder. The inclusion of the schedule of
general prevailing rate of per diem wages in these contract documents does not release the Contractor from
compliance with any wage law that may be applicable. Construction work under this contract requiring an
inspector will not be performed on weekends or holidays unless the following conditions exist:
(1) The project being constructed is essential to the City of Lubbock's ability to provide the necessary service

to be done, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstance and the prosecution of the
work, shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at its own cost and expense.
CHARACTER OF WORKMEN
The Contractor agrees to employ only orderly and competent men, skillful in the performance in the type of work
required under this contract, to do the work; and agrees that whenever the Owner's Representative shall inform
Contractor in writing that any man or men on the work, are, in Owner's Representative's sole opinion,

men shall be discharged from the work and shall not again be employed on the work without the Owner's
Representative's written consent.

completion of this contract where it is not otherwise specifically provided that Owner shall furnish same, and it is
also understood that Owner shall not be held responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, or protection of
any materials, tools, equipment or machinery or any part of the work until it is finally completed and accepted.
The building of structures for the housing of men or equipment will be permitted only at such places as the

21. OBSERVATION AND TESTING
The Owner or Owner's Representative shall have the right at all times to observe and test the work. Contractor
shall make necessary arrangements and provide proper facilities and access for such observation and testing at
any location wherever such work is in preparation or progress. Contractor shall ascertain the scope of any
observation which may be contemplated by Owner or Owner's Representative and shall give ample notice as to
the time each part of the work will be ready for such observation. Owner or Owner's Representative may reject
any such work found to be defective or not in accordance with the contract documents, regardless of the stage of
its completion or the time or place of discovery of such errors and regardless of whether Owner's Representative
has previously accepted the work through oversight or otherwise. If any such work should be covered without
approval or consent of the Owner, it must, if requested by Owner or Owner's Representative, be uncovered for
examination at Contractor's expense. In the event that any part of the work is being fabricated or manufactured at
a location where it is not convenient for Owner or Owner's Representative to make observations of such work or
require testing of said work, then in such event Owner or Owner's Representative may require Contractor to
furnish Owner or Owner's Representative certificates of inspection, testing or approval made by persons
competent to perform such tasks at the location where that part of the work is being manufactured or fabricated.

consent of the Owner or Owner's Representative, it must, if requested by the Owner or Owner's Representative,
be uncovered for observation and testing at the Contractor's expense. The cost of all such inspections, tests and
approvals shall be borne by the Contractor unless otherwise provided herein. Any work which fails to meet the
requirements of any such tests, inspections or approvals, and any work which meets the requirements of any such
tests or approvals but does not meet the requirements of the contract documents shall be considered defective,
and shall be corrected at the Contractor's expense.
1
Neither observations by the Owner or Owner's Representative, nor inspections, tests, or approvals made by
Owner, Owner's Representative, or other persons authorized under the contract documents to make such
inspections, tests, or approvals shall relieve the Contractor from its obligation to perform the work in accordance
with the requirements of the contract documents.
22. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is expressly 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 Owner or Owner's Representative as unsuitable or not
in conformity with plans, specifications and/or contract documents, the Contractor shall, after receipt of written
notice thereof from the Owner's Representative, forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy
such work so that it shall be in full accordance with the contract documents. It is further agreed that any remedial
action contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be at Contractor's expense.

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 bond.
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. If they increase the amount of
work, and the increased work can fairly be classified under the specifications, such increase shall be paid
according to the quantity actually done and at the unit price established for such work under this contract;
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 actual
expenses incurred in preparation for the work as originally planned.
24. EXTRA WORK
The term extra work as used in this contract shall be understood to mean and include all work that may be
required by the Owner or Owner's Representative to be done by the Contractor to accomplish any change,
alteration or addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract documents and not covered
by Contractor's bid, except as provided under Changes and Alterations herein.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra work under the direction of the Owner's Representative
when presented with a written work order signed by the Owner's Representative; subject, however, to the right of
the Contractor to require written confirmation of such extra work order by the Owner. It is also agreed that the
compensation to be paid to the Contractor for performing said extra work shall be determined by the following
r methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - if neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed upon before the extra work is commenced,
then the Contractor shall be paid the lesser of the following: (1) actual field cost of the
extra work, plus fifteen (15%) percent; or (2) the amount that would have been charged
by a reasonable and prudent Contractor as a reasonable and necessary cost for
performance of the extra work.

shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all workmen, such as foremen,
timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for
the time actually employed or used on such extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred,

Benefits, Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workers' Compensation and all other
insurances as may be required by law or ordinances or directed by the Owner or Owner's Representative, or by

them agreed to. Owner's Representative may direct the form in which accounts of the actual field cost shall be
kept and records of these accounts shall be made available to the Owner's Representative. The Owner's
Representative may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the
type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these matters shall be determined by the
Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be
determined by using 100%, unless otherwise specified, of the latest Schedule of Equipment and Ownership
Expenses adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practical, the terms and prices for
the use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the written extra work order. The fifteen percent
(15%) of the actual field cost to be paid to Contractor shall cover and compensate Contractor for its 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 Owner's Representative. In case
any orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra work for which Contractor should receive
compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, Contractor shall prior to commencement of such extra
work, make written request to the Owner's Representative for a 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 therefore, and
the Owner's Representative insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the work after making
written request for written order and shall keep adequate and accurate account of the actual field cost thereof, as
provided under Method (C)(1). If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative prior to the commencement
any extra work, any claim for payment due to alleged extra work shall be deemed waived.
DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of the contract documents that all work described in the bid, the
specifications, plans and other contract documents, is to be done for the prices quoted by the Contractor and that
such price shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the work in accordance with the intent of these
contract documents as interpreted by Owner's Representative. Notices of any discrepancies or omissions in
these plans, specifications, or contract documents, shall be given to the Owners' Representative and a
clarification obtained before the bids are received, and if no such notice is received by the Owner's
Representative prior to the opening of bids, then it shall be deemed that the Contractor fully understands
the work to be included and has provided sufficient sums in its bid to complete the work in accordance
with these plans and specifications. If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative prior to bidding
of any discrepancies or omissions, then it shall be deemed for all purposes that the plans and
specifications are sufficient and adequate for completion of the project. It is further agreed that any
request for clarification must be submitted no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the opening of
bids.
26. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If at any time the methods or equipment used by the Contractor are found to be inadequate to secure the quality of
work with the rate of progress required under this contract, the Owner or Owner's Representative may order the
Contractor in writing to increase their safety or improve their character and efficiency and the Contractor shall
comply with such order.
a
If, at any time, the working force of the Contractor is inadequate for securing the progress herein specified, the

regulations, which in any manner affect the contract or the work, and without limiting, in any way, manner or form,
the indemnity provided by Contractor in paragraph 27 hereof, Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the
Owner, and all of its officers, agents, and employees against any claims arising from the violation of any such
laws, ordinances, and regulations, whether by the Contractor, its employees, or subcontractors. If the Contractor
observes that the plans and specifications are at variance therewith, he shall notify the Owner's Representative in
writing prior to bidding and any necessary changes shall be adjusted as provided in the contract for changes in the
work. In the absence of timely written notification to Owner's Representative of such variance or variances within
said time, any objection and/or assertion that the plans and specifications are at variance with any federal, state or
local laws, ordinances or regulations shall be deemed waived. If the Contractor, its employees or subcontractors
perform any work contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and without such notice to the Owner's
Representative, Contractor shall bear all costs arising therefrom.
The Owner is a municipal corporation of the State of Texas and the law from which it derives its powers, insofar as
the same regulates the objects for which, or the manner in which, or the conditions under which the Owner may
enter into contracts, shall be controlling, and shall be considered as part of this contract to the same effect as
though embodied herein.
SUBCONTRACTING
The Contractor agrees that it will retain personal control and will give its personal attention to the fulfillment of this
contract. The Contractor further agrees that subletting of any portion or feature of the work, or materials required
in the performance of this contract, shall not relieve the Contractor from its full obligations to the Owner, as
provided by the contract documents.
TIME FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
It is hereby understood and mutually agreed by and between the Contractor and the Owner, that the date of
beginning and time for completion as specified in the contract documents, of work to be done hereunder are
essential conditions of this contract; and it is further mutually understood and agreed that the work embraced in
this contract shall be commenced as provided in the contract documents.
If the Contractor should neglect, fail, or refuse to substantially complete the work within the time herein specified,
then the Contractor does hereby agree as part of the consideration for the awarding of this contract, the Owner
may withhold permanently from Contractor's total compensation, the sum of $750 (SEVEN HUNDRED AND
FIFTY DOLLARS) PER DAY, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for the breach of the contract as herein
set forth for each and every working day that the Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated for
substantially completing the work.
It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the substantial
completion of the work described herein is reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into
consideration the average climatic range and conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality.
The amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner because the actual damages
the Owner would sustain in such event would be difficult and/or impossible to estimate, however, the amount
agreed upon herein is a reasonable forecast of the amount necessary to render just compensation to Owner, and
is expressly agreed to be not disproportionate to actual damages as measured at time of breach.
IT IS FURTHER AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD BETWEEN THE CONTRACTOR AND OWNER THAT TIME IS
OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS CONTRACT.

35. TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION
It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Contractor shall
be allowed to prosecute its work at such time and sessions, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as
shall be most conductive to economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and time of prosecution
shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in accordance with this
contract, the plans and specifications, and within the time of completion designated in the bid; provided, also, that
when the Owner is having other work done, either by contract or by its own force, the Owner's Representative may
direct the time and manner of constructing work done under this contract so that conflicts 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 Owner's Representative,
schedules which shall show the order in which the Contractor intends 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.
gi 36. TIME OF PERFORMANCE
" The Contractor agrees that it has submitted its bid in full recognition of the time required for the completion of this
project, taking into consideration the average climatic range and industrial conditions prevailing in this locality, and
has considered the liquidated damage provisions of paragraph 34 hereinabove set forth and expressly agrees that
it shall not be entitled to, nor will it request, an extension of time on this contract, except when its work has been
delayed by an act or neglect of the Owner, Owner's Representative, employees of the Owner or other contractors
employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strike, walkouts, acts of God or the public
enemy, fire or flood. Any request for extension shall be in writing with the written request for same setting forth all
justifications, in detail, for the request, and submitted to Owner's Representative within twenty (20) calendar days
of the occurrence of the event causing said delay. A failure by Owner's Representative to affirmatively grant the
extension no later than twenty (20) calendar days of written submission by Contractor shall be deemed a denial,
a and final. Further, in the absence of timely written notification of such delay and request for extension, as provided
herein, any request for extension by Contractor shall be deemed waived.
37. HINDRANCE AND DELAYS
In executing the contract, the Contractor agrees that in undertaking to complete the work within the time herein
fixed, Contractor has taken into consideration and made allowances for all hindrances and delays incident to such
work, whether growing out of delays due to unusual and unanticipated circumstances, difficulties or delays in
securing material or workmen, or any other cause or occurrence. No charge shall be made by the Contractor for
hindrance or delays from any cause during the progress of any part of the work embraced in this contract except
where the work is stopped by order of the Owner or Owner's Representative for the Owner's convenience, in
which event, such expense as in the sole judgment of the Owner's Representative that is caused by such
stoppage shall be paid by Owner to Contractor.
38. QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS
No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured or computed length,
area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided. In the
event this contract is let on a unit price basis, then Owner and Contractor agree that this contract, including the
specifications, plans and other contract documents are intended to show clearly all work to be done and material
to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown, and only when same are expressly stated
to be estimates, 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
their bids offered for the work. In the event the amount of work to be done and materials to be furnished are
expressly stated to be estimated, and only when same are expressly stated to be estimated, it is understood and
agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and the materials 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 work done and materials furnished on the project.

PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY
The Contractor shall take proper means to protect the adjacent or adjoining property or properties in any way
encountered, which may be injured or seriously affected by any process of construction to be undertaken under
this agreement, from any damage or injury by reason of said process of construction; and Contractor shall be
liable for any and all claims for such damage on account of his failure to fully protect all adjacent property. Without
limiting, in any way, manner and form, the indemnity provided by Contractor in paragraph 27 hereof, the
Contractor agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Owner, and any of its officers, agents and employees,
against any and all claims or damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, related to, arising
from or growing out of the performance of this contract.
PRICE FOR WORK

the Contractor, and on the delivery of all materials embraced in this contract in full conformity with the
specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the price set forth in the
bid proposal attached hereto, which has been made a part of this contract, and the Contractor hereby agrees to
receive such price in full for furnishing all materials and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also, for all
expenses incurred by Contractor and for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner
and according to this agreement, the attached specifications, plans, contract documents and requirements of
Owner's Representative.
PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the
contract, either wholly or in part, nor shall any certificate or payment be considered as acceptance of defective
work. Contractor shall at any time requested during the progress of the work furnish the Owner or Owner's
Representative with a verifying certificate showing the Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness in connection
with the work. Before final payment is made, Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit or otherwise, that there
are no outstanding liens against Owner's premises by reason of any work under the contract. Acceptance by
Contractor of final payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of all claims against Owner, Owner's
agents and employees, which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.
42. PARTIAL PAYMENTS
On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an application for
partial payment or, if the Contractor does not submit such application, the Owner's Representative shall determine
the amount to be partially paid. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment if
submitted, and the progress of the work made by the Contractor and if found to be in order, shall prepare a
certificate for partial payment showing as completely as practical the total value of the work done by the Contractor
up to and including the last day of the preceding month. The determination of the partial payment by the Owner's
Representative shall be in accordance with Paragraph 14 hereof.
The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the fifteenth day of the current month the total amount of the
Owner's Representative's Certificate of Partial Payment, less 5% of the amount thereof, which 5% shall be
retained until final payment, and further, less all previous payments and all further sums that may be retained by
Owner under the terms of the contract documents
Any partial payment made hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by the Owner of any and all other rights to
enforce the express terms of the contract documents, and all remedies provided therein, as to any and all work
performed, to be performed and/or materials delivered hereunder, including, but limited to, work to which said
partial payment is attributable.

43. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
Contractor shall give Owner's Representative written notice of substantial completion. Within thirty-one (31)
working days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that the work has been
substantially completed, the Owner's Representative and/or the Owner shall inspect the work and within said time,
if the work be found to be substantially completed in accordance with the contract documents, the Owner's
Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor a certificate of substantial completion. Notwithstanding
the issuance of a certificate of substantial completion, Contractor shall proceed with diligence to finally complete
the work within the time provided in this contract.
44. FINAL COMPLETION AND PAYMENT
The Contractor shall give written notice to Owner's Representative of final completion. Upon written notice of final
completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final measurement to determine whether final
completion has occurred. If the Owner's Representative determines final completion has occurred, Owner's
Representative shall so certify to the Owner. Upon certification by Owner's Representative of final completion,
Owner shall pay to the Contractor on or before the 31 st working day after the date of certification of final
completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of this agreement. Neither the certification of final
completion nor the final payment, nor any provisions in the contract documents shall relieve the Contractor of the
obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required in the contract documents and/or any warranty or
warranties implied by law or otherwise.
45. CORRECTION OF WORK
Contractor shall promptly remove from Owner's premises all materials condemned by the Owner's Representative
on account of failure to conform to the contract documents, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and
Contractor shall at its own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other materials conforming
to the requirements of the contract documents. Contractor shall also bear the expense of restoring all work of
other contractors damaged by any such removal or replacement. If Contractor does not remove and replace any
such condemned work within a reasonable time after a written notice by the Owner or the Owner's Representative,
Owner may remove and replace it at Contractor's expense.
Neither the final payment, nor certification of final completion or substantial completion, nor any provision in the
contract documents shall relieve the Contractor of responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship, and
Contractor shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for any damage to other work resulting therefrom, which
shall appear within a period of one (1) year from the date of certification of final completion by Owner's
Representative.
46. PAYMENT WITHHELD
The Owner or Owner's Representative may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify
the whole or part of any certification to such extent as may be necessary to protect itself from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied and/or work not performed.
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating possible filing of claims.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors or for materials or labor.
(d) Damage to another contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, or the Contractor provides a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner, in the
amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them.

47
CLAIM OR DISPUTE
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 Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Owner's
Representative has given any direction, order or instruction to which the Contractor desires to take exception.
Timely written notice of dispute as provided in this contract of any decision by Owner's Representative or Owner
shall be a condition precedent to the bringing and/or assertion of any action or claim by Contractor of any right
under this Contract. If the matters set forth in the notice of dispute are not granted or otherwise responded to by
Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of notice of dispute by Owner's
Representative, said objections shall be deemed denied. Any decision by the Owner's Representative, or deemed
denial by the Owner's Representative, shall be final and conclusive in the absence of fraud. It is further agreed
that the acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any and all claims of the Contractor,
and constitute a waiver of the right to assert any claim against Owner, Owner's agents and employees and
Owner's Representative, by Contractor.
48. NON-COMPLIANCE AND/OR ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should (1) abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or (2) if the Contractor fails to comply with the
written orders of the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, then the Surety
on the bond shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work and a copy of said notice shall be
delivered to the Contractor, In the event a bond is not required by law, or otherwise obtained by the Contractor, no
further notice of such non-compliance to Contractor shall be required.
After receiving said notice of abandonment or non-compliance , 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.
In the event the Contractor, or Surety, whichever is applicable, should fail to commence compliance with the notice
hereinbefore provided within ten (10) calendar days after service of such notice, and/or shall fail to proceed with
diligence to complete the project as contemplated and in compliance with all terms and provisions of the contract
documents„ then the Owner may exercise any and all remedies available to it pursuant to law, contract, equity or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, providing 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 its 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 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 case of
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 therefore. Should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than that which
would have been the cost to complete the work under this contract, the Contractor or his Surety shall be
credited therewith.
18
In the event the Owner's Representative elects to complete the work, as described above, when the work shall
have been finally completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and certification of completion as
provided in paragraph 44 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract
accounts, certified to by Owner's Representative as being correct shall then be prepared and delivered to
Contractor and his Surety, if applicable, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be,
shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement within 30 days after the date of certification 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, if applicable, 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, if applicable. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price,
and the Contractor and/or his Surety, if applicable, 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, if applicable, 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, if applicable, subject only to
the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) calendar 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, if applicable. 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, if applicable, to their proper owners.
The remedies provided to Owner by law, equity, contract, or otherwise, shall be cumulative, to the extent permitted
by law. It is expressly agreed and understood that the exercise by Owner of the remedies provided in this
paragraph shall not constitute an election of remedies on the part of Owner, and Owner, irrespective of its exercise
of remedies hereunder, shall be entitled to exercise concurrently or otherwise, any and all other remedies
available to it, by law, equity, contract or otherwise, including but not limited to, liquidated damages, as provided in
paragraph 34, hereinabove set forth.
49. LIMITATION ON CONTRACTOR'S REMEDY
The remedies of Contractor hereunder shall be limited to, and Owner shall be liable only for, work actually
performed by Contractor and/or its subcontractors as set forth in the contract documents, and Owner shall not be
liable for any consequential, punitive or indirect loss or damage that Contractor may suffer in connection with the
project which is the subject matter of this contract.
50. BONDS
The successful bidder will be required to furnish a performance bond in accordance with Chapter 2253,
Government Code, in the amount of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds
$100,000 and the successful bidder will be required to furnish a payment bond in accordance with Chapter 2253,
Government Code, in the amount of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds
$25,000. All bonds, if required, shall be submitted on forms supplied by the Owner, and executed by an approved
Surety Company authorized to do business in the State of Texas. It is further agreed that this contract shall not be
in effect until such bonds are so furnished.

Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss, expense or damage to the Contractor arising out of the nature of the
work to be done, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstance or from unusual
obstructions or difficulties, naturally occurring, man made or otherwise, which may be encountered in the

effect the status of the Contractor as an independent contractor with respect to either the Owner or Owner's
Representative or to the Contractor's own employees or to any other person, firm, or corporation.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
EXCAVATION:
Excavation consists of removal and disposal of material encountered
when establishing required finish grade elevations.
Earth excavation includes removal and disposal of pavements and
other obstructions visible on ground surface, underground
structures and utilities indicated to be demolished and removed,
material of any classification encountered that are not classified
as unauthorized excavation.
Unauthorized excavation consists of removal of materials beyond
indicated subgrade elevations or dimensions without specific
direction of the Engineer. Unauthorized excavation, as well as
remedial work directed by the Engineer, shall be at Contractor's
expense.
Backfill and compact unauthorized excavations as specified for
authorized excavations of same classification, unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer.
Additional Excavation: When excavation has reached required
subgrade elevations, notify the Engineer who will make an
inspection of conditions.
If unsuitable bearing materials are encountered at required
subgrade elevations, carry excavations deeper and replace excavated
material as directed by the Engineer.
Removal of unsuitable material and its replacement as directed will
be paid on basis of contract conditions relative to changes in
work.
Stability of Excavations:
Slope sides of excavations to comply with local codes and
ordinances having jurisdiction. Shore and brace where sloping is
not possible because of space restrictions or stability of material
excavated.
Maintain sides and slopes of excavations in safe condition until
completion of backfilling.
97067 02.200 - 3
Shoring and Bracing: Provide materials for shoring and bracing,
such as uprights, stringers and cross -braces, in good serviceable
condition.
Establish requirements for trench shoring and bracing to comply
with local codes and authorities having jurisdiction.
Maintain shoring and bracing in excavations regardless of time
period excavations will be open. Carry down shoring and bracing as
excavation progresses.
Sheet Piling: Where required provide permanent steel sheet piling
or pressure creosoted timber sheet piling wherever subsequent
removal of sheet piling might permit lateral movement of soil under
adjacent structures. Cut off tops as required and leave
permanently in place.
Dewatering: Prevent surface water and subsurface or ground water
from flowing into excavations and from flooding project site and
surrounding area.
Do not allow water to accumulate in excavations. Remove water to
prevent softening of foundation bottoms, undercutting footings, and
soil changes detrimental to stability of subgrades and foundations.
Provide and maintain pumps, well points, sumps, suction and
discharge lines, and other dewatering system components necessary
to convey water away from excavations.

formwork, installation of services, other construction, and for
inspection.
97067 02.200 - 4
Or'
In excavating for footings and foundations, take care not to
disturb bottom of excavation. Excavate by hand to final grade just
before concrete reinforcement is placed. Trim bottoms to required
lines and grades to leave solid base to receive other work.
-, Excavation for Trenches:
Dig Trenches to the uniform width required for particular item to
be installed, sufficiently wide to provide ample working room.
Excavate trenches to depth indicated or required. Carry depth of
trenches for piping to establish indicated flow lines and invert
elevations. Beyond building perimeter, keep bottoms of trenches
sufficiently below finish grade to avoid freeze -ups.
.. Grade bottoms of trenches as indicated, notching under pipe bells
to provide solid bearing for entire body of pipe.
Concrete is specified in Division 3.
Do not backfill trenches until tests and inspections have been made
and backfilling authorized by the Engineer. Use care in
backfilling to avoid damage or displacement of pipe systems.
Cold Weather Protection: Protect excavation bottoms against
freezing when atmospheric temperature is less than 35 degrees F. (1
degree C.)
COMPACTION:
General: Control soil compaction during construction providing
minimum percentage of density specified for each area
classification.
Percentage of Maximum Density Requirements: Compact soil to not
less than the following percentages of maximum dry density for
soils which exhibit a well-defined moisture -density relationship
determined in accordance with ASTM D 698 (Standard Proctor); and
not less than the following percentages of relative density,
determined in accordance with ASTM D 2049, for soils which will not
exhibit a well-defined moisture -density relationship.
Structures: Compact top 12" of subgrade and each layer of backfill
or fill material at 95% maximum dry density or 90% relative dry
density.
Slabs: Compact top 12" of subgrade and each layer of backfill or

Walkways and other Exterior Flatwork: Compact top 6" of subgrade
and each layer of backfill or fill materials at 95% maximum dry
density or 90% relative dry density.
Moisture Control: Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be
moisture conditioned before compaction, uniformly apply water to
surface of subgrade, or layer of soil material, to prevent free
water appearing on surface during or subsequent to compaction
operations.
Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is
too wet to permit compaction to specified density.
Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit
compaction may be stockpiled or spread and allowed to dry. Assist
drying by dicing, harrowing or pulverizing until moisture content
is reduced to a satisfactory value.
BACKFILL AND FILL:
General: Place acceptable soil material in layers to required
subgrade elevations, for each area classification listed below.
In excavations, use satisfactory excavated or borrow material.
Under grassed areas, use satisfactory excavated or borrow material.
Under walks and flatwork, use satisfactory excavated or borrow
material, or combination of both.
Backfill excavations as promptly as work permits, but not until
completion of the following:
Inspection, testing, approval, and recording locations of
underground utilities.
Removal of concrete formwork. ■
Removal of shoring and bracing, and backfilling of voids with
satisfactory materials. Cut off temporary sheet piling driven
below bottom of structures and remove in manner to prevent
settlement of the structure or utilities, or leave in place if
required. ,

aw
Ground Surface Preparation:
Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials,
obstructions, and deleterious materials from ground surface prior
to placement of fills. Plow, strip, or break-up so that fill
material will bond with existing surface.
When existing ground surface has a density less than that specified
under "Compaction" for particular area classification, break up
ground surface, pulverize, moisture -condition to optimum moisture
content, and compact to required depth and percentage of maximum
density.
LI Placement and Compaction:
Place backfill and fill materials in layers not more than 8" in
loose depth for material compacted by heavy compaction equipment,
and not more than 4" in loose depth for material compacted by
hand -operated tampers.
Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to
provide optimum moisture content. Compact each layer to required
percentage of maximum dry density or relative dry density for each
area classification. Do not place backfill or fill material on
surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice.
Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structures, to
required elevations. Take care to prevent wedging action of
backfill against structures by carrying material uniformly around
structure to approximately same elevation in each lift.
GRADING:
General: Uniformly grade areas within limits of grading under this
section, including adjacent transition areas. Smooth finished
surface within specified tolerances, compact with uniform levels or
slopes between points where elevations are shown, or between such
points and existing grades.

and percentage of maximum density for each area classification.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL:
Quality Control Testing During Construction:
Allow testing service to inspect and approve subgrades and fill
layers before further construction work is performed.
Perform field density tests in accordance with ASTM D 1556 (Sand
Cone Method) or ASTM D 2167 (Rubber Balloon Method), or ASTM D
2922, (Nuclear Gauge Method) as applicable.
Flatwork and Slab Subqrade:
Make at least one field density test of subgrade for every 2000 sq.
ft. of paved area or slab, but in no case less than 3 tests. In
each compacted fill layer, make one field density test for every
2000 sq. ft. of slab or paved area, but in no case less than 3
tests. Subsequent layers shall be placed only after the previous
compacted layer has been tested and approved by the testing
laboratory and the Engineer.
MAINTENANCE:
Protection of Graded Areas:
Protect newly graded areas from traffic and erosion. Keep free of
trash and debris.
Repair and re-establish grades in settled, eroded, and rutted areas
to specified tolerances.
Reconditioning Compacted Areas: Where completed compacted areas
are disturbed by subsequent construction operations or adverse
weather, scarify surface, re -shape, and compact to required density
prior to further construction.

PROPORTIONING AND DESIGN OF MIXES:
Prepare design mixes for each type and strength of concrete in
accordance with applicable provisions of ASTM C 94. Use an
independent testing facility acceptable to the Engineer for
preparing and reporting proposed mix designs. The testing
facility shall not be the same as used for field quality control
testing unless otherwise acceptable to the Engineer.
Prepare design mixes by either laboratory trial batch or field
experience methods, using materials to be employed on the project
for each class of concrete required, complying with ACI 211.1.
Laboratory Trial Batches: When laboratory trial batches are used
to select concrete proportions, prepare test specimens in
accordance with ASTM C 192 and conduct strength tests in
accordance with ASTM C 39, specified in ACI 301. Establish a
curve showing relationship between water -cement ratio (or cement
content) and compressive strength, with at least 3 points
representing batches which produce strengths above and below that
required. Use not less than 3 specimens tested at 28 days, or an

io
earlier age when acceptable to the Engineer, to establish each
point on the curve.
Field Experience Method: When field experience methods are used
to select concrete proportions, establish proportions as
specified in ACI 301. Strength data for establishing standard
deviation will be considered suitable if the concrete production
facility has certified records consisting of at least 30
consecutive tests in one group or the statistical average for 2
groups totaling 30 or more tests, representing similar materials

of at least 1200 psi greater than the required compressive
strength of concrete.
After sufficient experience and test data become available from
the job, using ACI 214 methods of evaluation, the standard
deviation may be reduced when the probable frequency of an
average of 3 consecutive tests below required compressive
strength will not exceed 1 in 100.
Submit written reports to the Engineer of each proposed mix for
each class of concrete at least 15 days prior to start of work.
Do not begin concrete production until mixes have been reviewed
by the Engineer.
Design mixes to provide normal weight concrete with the following
properties, as indicated on the Drawings and schedules:
3000 psi 28 -day compressive strength; W/C ratio, 0.58 maximum
(non -air -entrained), 0.46 maximum (air -entrained).
Adjustment to Concrete Mixes: Mix design adjustments may be
requested by the Contractor when characteristics of materials,
job conditions, weather, tests results, or other circumstances
warrant; at no additional cost to the Owner and as accepted by
the Engineer. Laboratory test data for revised mix design and
strength results must be submitted to and accepted by the

PART 3 - EXECUTION
FORMS:
Design, erect, support,
brace and maintain formwork to support
vertical and lateral
loads that might be applied until such loads
can be supported by
the
concrete structure. Construct formwork
so concrete members
and
structures are of correct size, shape,
alignment, elevation
and
position.
97067 03.300 - 6 V
i
,
Design formwork to be readily removable without impact, shock or
damage to cast -in-place concrete surfaces and adjacent materials.
Forms shall not leak cement paste.
Fabricate forms for easy removal without hammering or prying
against the concrete surfaces. Provide crush plates or wrecking
plates where stripping may damage cast concrete surfaces.
Provide top forms for inclined surfaces where slope is too steep
to place concrete with bottom forms only. Kerf wood inserts for
forming keyways, reglets, recesses, and the like, to prevent
swelling and for easy removal.
1 Provide temporary openings where interior area of formwork is
inaccessible for cleanout, for inspection before concrete
placement, and for placement of concrete. Securely brace
temporary openings and set tightly to form to prevent loss of
concrete mortar. Locate temporary openings on forms at
inconspicuous locations.
Chamfer exposed corners and edges as shown, using wood, metal,
PVC or rubber chamfer strips fabricated to produce uniform smooth
lines and tight edge joints.
Form Ties: Factory -fabricated, adjustable -length, removable or
snapoff metal form ties, designated to prevent form deflection,
and to prevent spalling concrete surfaces upon removal.
Unless otherwise shown, provide ties so portion remaining within
concrete after removal is at least 1 1/2" inside concrete.
Unless otherwise shown, provide form ties which will not leave
holes larger than 1" diameter in concrete surface.
Provisions for Other Trades: Provide openings in concrete
..+ formwork to accommodate work for other trades. Determine size
and location of openings, recesses and chases from trades
1 providing such items. Accurately place and securely support
items built into forms.
Cleaning and Tightening: Thoroughly clean forms and adjacent
surfaces to receive concrete. Remove chips, wood, sawdust, dirt.
or other debris just before concrete is placed. Retighten forms
after concrete placement if required to eliminate mortar leaks.
PLACING REINFORCING:
Comply with the specified codes and standards, and Concrete
Reinforcing Steel Institute's recommended practice for "Placing
Reinforcing Bars", for details and methods of reinforcement_
placement and supports, and as herein specified.
Clean reinforcement of loose rust and mill scale, earth ice and
other materials which reduce or destroy bond with concrete.
1 97067 03.300 - 7
r
Accurately position, support and secure reinforcement against r
displacement by formwork, construction, or concrete placement
operations. Locate and support reinforcing by metal chairs, �r
runners, bolsters, spacers and hangers, as required.
Place reinforcement to obtain at least the minimum coverages for
concrete protection. Arrange, space and securely tie bars and
bar supports to hold reinforcement in position during concrete
placement operations. Set wire ties so ends are directed into
concrete, not toward exposed concrete surfaces.
JOINTS:
Construction Joints:
Locate and install construction joints, which are not shown on
the Drawings, so as not to impair the strength and appearance of
the structure, as acceptable to the Engineer.
Provide keyways at least 1 1/2" deep in all construction joints
in walls, slabs and between walls and footings; acceptable
bulkheads designed for this purpose may be used for slabs.
Place construction joints perpendicular to the main '
reinforcement. Continue all reinforcement across construction
joints.
Control Joints in Slabs -on -Ground:
Construct control joints in slabs -on -ground to form panels or
patterns as shown or directed. Form edge of pours with wood
forms as detailed on the Drawings.
Isolation Joints in Slabs -on -Ground: Construct isolation joints '
in slabs on ground at all points of contact between slabs on
ground and vertical surfaces, such as column pedestals,
foundation walls, grade beams and elsewhere as indicated.
INSTALLATION OF EMBEDDED ITEMS:
General: Set and build into the work anchorage devices and other
embedded items required for other work that is attached to, or
supported by, cast -in-place concrete. Use setting drawings,
diagrams, instructions and directions provided by suppliers of
the items to be attached thereto.
Edge Forms and Screed Strips for Slabs: Set edge forms or
bulkheads and intermediate screed strips for slabs to obtain the
required elevations and contours in the finished slab surface.
Provide and secure units sufficiently strong to support the types
of screed required. Align the concrete surface to the elevation
of the screed strips by the use of strike -off templates or
accepted compacting type screeds.
M
97067 03.300 - 8
PREPARATION OF FORM SURFACES:
Coat the contact surfaces of forms with a form -coating compound
before reinforcement is placed. Provide commercial formulation
form -coating compounds that will not bond with, stain nor
adversely affect concrete surfaces, and will not impair
subsequent treatment of concrete surfaces requiring bond or
adhesion, nor impede wetting of surfaces to be cured with water
or curing compounds.
Thin form -coating compounds only with thinning agent of type, and
in amount, and under conditions of the form -coating compound
manufacturer's directions. Do not allow excess form -coating
material to accumulate in the forms or to come into contact with
" concrete surfaces against which fresh concrete will be placed.
Apply in compliance with manufacturer's instructions.
CONCRETE PLACEMENT:
General:
Comply with ACI 304, and as herein specified.
Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that
no concrete will be placed on concrete which has hardened
sufficiently to cause the formation of seams or planes of
weakness within the section. If a section cannot be placed
continuously, provide construction joints as herein specified.
Deposit concrete as nearly as practicable to its final location
to avoid segregation due to rehandling or flowing.
Pre -Placement Inspection: Before placing concrete, inspect and
complete the formwork installation, reinforcing steel, and items
to be embedded or cast -in. Notify other crafts to permit the
installation of their work, cooperate with other trades in
setting such work, as required. Thoroughly wet wood forms
immediately before placing concrete, as required where form
coatings are not used.
Placing Concrete in Forms: Deposit concrete in forms in
horizontal layers not deeper than 18" and in a manner to avoid
inclined construction joints.
Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment
supplemented by hand -spading, rodding or tamping. Use vibrators
designed to operate with vibratory element submerged in concrete,
maintaining a speed of not less than 6000 impulses per minute.
Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside of forms.
Insert and withdraw vibrators vertically at uniformly spaced
locations not farther than the visible effectiveness of the
machine. Do not insert vibrators into lower layers of concrete
that have begun to set. At each insertion, limit the duration of
vibration to the time necessary to consolidate the concrete and
1 97067 03.300 - 9
complete embedment of reinforcement and other embedded items
without causing segregation of the mix.
Placing Concrete Slabs:
Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in a continuous operation,
within the limits of construction joints, until the placing of a
panel or section is completed. Consolidate concrete during
placing operations so that concrete is thoroughly worked around
reinforcement and other embedded items and into corners.
Bring slab surfaces to the correct level with a straightedge and
strike off. Use bull floats or darbies to smooth the surface,
leaving it free of humps or hollows. Do not sprinkle water on
the plastic surface. Do not disturb the slab surfaces prior to
beginning finishing operations.
Maintain reinforcing in the proper position during concrete
placement operations.
Cold Weather Placinq:
Protect concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength
which could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low
temperatures, in compliance with ACI 306 and as herein specified.
When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below
40 degrees F., uniformly heat all water and aggregate before
mixing as required to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of
not less than 50 degrees F., and not more than 80 degrees F., at
point of placement.
Do not use frozen materials or materials containing ice or snow.
Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade or on subgrade
containing frozen materials.
Do not use calcium chloride, salt
antifreeze agents or chemical
accepted in mix designs.
Hot Weather Placina:
and other materials containing
accelerators, unless otherwise
When hot weather conditions exist that could seriously impair the
quality and strength of concrete, place concrete in compliance
with ACI 305 and as herein specified.
Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature
at time of placement below 90 degrees F. Mixing water may be
chilled, or chopped ice may be used to control the concrete
temperature provided the water equivalent of the ice is
calculated to the total amount of mixing.
97067 03.300 - 10
.-M
Cover reinforcing steel with water -soaked burlap if it becomes
too hot, so that the steel temperature will not exceed the
- ambient air temperature immediately before embedment in concrete.
Tet form thoroughly before placing concrete.
Do not use retarding admixtures unless otherwise accepted in mix
designs.
FINISH OF FORMED SURFACES:
Standard Rough Form Finish: For formed concrete surfaces not
exposed -to -view in the finish work or by other construction,
unless otherwise shown or specified. This is the concrete
surface having the texture imparted by the form facing material
used, with defective areas repaired and patched as specified, and
fins and other projections exceeding 1/4" in height rubbed down
with wood blocks.
Standard Smooth Finish: For formed concrete surfaces
exposed -to -view, or that are to be covered with a coating
material applied directly to the concrete or a covering material
bonded to the concrete, such as waterproofing, dampproofing, or
other similar system. This is the as -cast concrete surface as
obtained with the form facing material, with defective areas
repaired and patched as specified, and fins and other projections
on the surface completely removed and smoothed.
Related Unformed Surfaces: At tops of walls, horizontal offsets
and similar unformed surfaces occurring adjacent, to formed
surfaces, strike -off smooth and finish with a texture matching
adjacent formed surfaces. Continue final surface treatment of
formed surfaces uniformly across adjacent unformed surfaces,
unless otherwise shown.
fto MONOLITHIC SLAB FINISHES:
surface with power -driven floats, or by hand floating if area is
small or inaccessible to power units. Check and level surface
plane to a tolerance not exceeding 1/4" in 10 feet when tested
with a 10 foot straightedge. Cut down high spots and fill low
spots. Uniformly slope surfaces to drains. Immediately after
leveling, refloat surface to a uniform, smooth, granular texture.
Trowel Finish.
Apply trowel finish to monolithic slab surfaces that are to be
exposed -to -view.
97067 03.300 - 11
Float Finish: Apply float finish
to monolithic slab surfaces
that are to receive trowel finish and other
finishes as
hereinafter specified.
rAfter
screeding and consolidating
concrete slabs,
do not work
surface until ready for floating.
Begin floating
when surface
water has disappeared or when concrete has stiffened
sufficiently
r
to permit operation of power -driven
floats or both.
Consolidate
surface with power -driven floats, or by hand floating if area is
small or inaccessible to power units. Check and level surface
plane to a tolerance not exceeding 1/4" in 10 feet when tested
with a 10 foot straightedge. Cut down high spots and fill low
spots. Uniformly slope surfaces to drains. Immediately after
leveling, refloat surface to a uniform, smooth, granular texture.
Trowel Finish.
Apply trowel finish to monolithic slab surfaces that are to be
exposed -to -view.
97067 03.300 - 11
After floating, begin first trowel finish operation using a
power -driven trowel. Begin final troweling when surface produces
a ringing sound as trowel is moved over the surface. Consolidate
concrete surface by final hand troweling operation, free of
trowel marks, uniform in texture and appearance, and with a
surface plane tolerance not exceeding 1/8" in 10 feet when tested
with a 10 foot straightedge. Grind smooth surface defects which
would telegraph through applied floor covering system.
Non -Slip Broom Finish: rr�
Apply non -slip broom finish to exterior concrete flatwork, and
elsewhere as shown on the Drawings or in schedules.
Immediately after trowel finishing, slightly roughen concrete
surface by brooming perpendicular to main traffic route.
Coordinate required final finish with the Engineer before
application.
CONCRETE CURING AND PROTECTION:
General:
Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and in
excessive cold or hot temperature, and maintain without drying at
a relatively constant temperature for a period of time necessary Op
for hydration of cement and proper hardening. ob
Start curing application as soon as free water has disappeared 0
from concrete surface after placing and finishing, when surface sk
will bear walking workmen or footboards with damage.
Curing Methods: Perform curing of concrete by applying
combination curing hardening, and dustproofing compound. f
Curing Formed Surfaces: Cure formed concrete surfaces, including
swimming pool gutters and other similar surfaces by moist curing
with forms in place for full curing period or until forms are
removed.
Curing Unformed Surfaces: Apply Sonosil or equal, by brush
squeegee, hand or power- spray in two coats allowing '-� to 1 hour
drying time per coat. See manufacturers directions.
REMOVAL OF FORMS:
Formwork not
supporting weight of concrete, such
as sides of
beams, walls,
columns, and similar parts of the
work, may be
removed after
cumulatively curing at not less than
50 degrees F.
for 24 hours
after placing concrete, provided
concrete is
sufficiently hard to not be damaged by form removal operations,
and provided curing
and protection operations are maintained.
97067 03.300 - 12
Formwork supporting weight of concrete, such as beam soffits,
joists, slabs and other structural elements, may not be removed
in less than 14 days and until concrete has attained design
minimum compressive strength at 28 -days. Determine potential
compressive strength of inplace concrete by testing field -cured
specimens representative of concrete location or members.
Form facing material may be removed 4 days after placement, only
if shores and other vertical supports have been arranged to
permit removal of form, facing material without loosening or
disturbing shores and supports.
�., RE -USE OF FORMS:
Clean and repair surfaces of forms to be re -used in the work.
Split, frayed, delaminated or otherwise damaged form facing
material will not be acceptable. Apply new form coating compound
material to concrete contact form surfaces as specified for new
formwork.
When forms are intended for successive concrete placement,
thoroughly clean surfaces, remove fins and laitance, and tighten
forms to close joints. Align and secure joints to avoid offsets.
Do not use "patched" forms for exposed concrete surfaces, except
as acceptable to Engineer.
r MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE ITEMS:
Filling -In: Fill-in holes and openings left in concrete
structures for passage of work by other trades, unless otherwise
shown or directed, after work of other trades is in place. Mix,
place and cure concrete as herein specified, to blend with
in-place construction. Provide other miscellaneous concrete
filling shown or required to complete work.
CONCRETE SURFACE REPAIRS:
Patching Defective Areas:
Repair and patch defective areas with cement mortar immediately
after removal of forms, but only when acceptable to Engineer.
Cut out honeycomb, rock pockets, voids over 1/4" in any
dimension, and holes left by tie rods and bolts,- down to solid
concrete but, in no case to a depth of less than 1". Make edges
of cuts perpendicular to the concrete surface. Before placing
cement mortar or proprietary patching compound, thoroughly clean,
dampen with water and brush -coat the area to be patched with neat
cement grout, or proprietary bonding agent.
For exposed -to -view surfaces, blend white portland cement and
standard portland cement so that, when dry, patching mortar will
match color surrounding. Provide test areas at inconspicuous
L97067 03.300 - 13
location to verify mixture and color match before proceeding with
patching. Compact mortar in place and strike -off slightly higher
than surrounding surface.
Repair of Formed Surfaces:
Remove and replace concrete having defective surfaces if defects
cannot be repaired to satisfaction of the Engineer. Surface
defects, as such, include color and texture irregularities,
cracks, spalls, air bubbles, honeycomb, rock pockets, fins and
other projections on surface; and stains and other discolorations
that cannot be removed by cleaning. Flush out form tie holes,
fill with dry pack mortar, or precast cement cone plugs secured
in place with bonding agent.
Repair concealed formed surfaces, where possible, that contain
defects that adversely affect the durability of the concrete. If
defects cannot be repaired, remove and replace the concrete.
Repair of Unformed Surfaces:
Test unformed surfaces, such as monolithic slabs, for smoothness
and to verify surface plane to tolerances specified for each
surface and finish. Correct low and high areas as herein
specified. Test unformed surfaces sloped to drain for trueness
of slope, in addition to smoothness, using a template having
required slope.
Repair finished unformed surfaces that contain defects which
adversely affect durability of concrete. Surface defects, as
such, include crazing, cracks in excess of 0.01" wide or which
penetrate to reinforcement or completely through non -reinforced
sections regardless of width, spalling, pop -outs, honeycomb, rock
pockets, and other objectionable conditions.
Correct high areas in unformed surfaces by grinding, after
concrete has cured at least 14 days.
Correct low areas in unformed surfaces during, or immediately
after completion of surface finishing operations by cutting out
low areas and replacing with fresh concrete. Finish repaired
areas to blend into adjacent concrete. Proprietary patching
compounds may be used when acceptable to the Engineer.
Repair defective areas, except random cracks and single holes not
exceeding 1" diameter, by cutting out and replacing with fresh
concrete. Remove defective areas to sound concrete with clean,
square cuts and expose reinforcing steel with at least 3/4"
clearance all around. Dampen concrete surfaces in contact with
patching concrete, and brush with a neat cement grout coating or
concrete bonding agent. Mix patching concrete of same materials
to provide concrete of the same type or class as original
concrete. Place, compact and finish to blend with adjacent
finished concrete. Cure in the same manner as adjacent concrete.

tested at 28 days, and 1 specimen retained in reserve for later
testing if required. The acceptance test results shall be the
average of the strengths of the two specimens tested at 28 days.
97067 03.300 - 15
no
14
When the frequency of testing will provide less than 5 strength
tests for a given class of concrete, conduct testing from at
least 5 randomly selected batches or from each batch if fewer
than 5 are used. 5i
When the total quantity of a given class of concrete is less than
50 cu. yds., the strength test may be waived by the Engineer if,
in his judgment, adequate evidence of satisfactory strength is
provided.
When the strength of field -cured cylinders is less than 85% of
companion laboratory -cured cylinders, evaluate current operations
and provide corrective procedures for protecting and curing the
in-place concrete.
Test results will be reported in writing to the Engineer and the
Contractor on the same day that tests are made. Reports of
compressive strength tests shall contain the project
identification name and number, date of concrete placement, name
of concrete testing service, concrete type and class, location of
concrete batch in the structure, design compressive strength at
28 days, concrete mix proportions and materials; compressive
breaking strength and type of break for both 7 -day tests and
28 -day tests.
Additional Tests: The testing service will make additional tests
of in-place concrete when test results indicate the specified
concrete strengths and other characteristics have not been +■r
attained in the structure, as directed by the Engineer. The
testing service may conduct tests to determine adequacy of
concrete by cored cylinders complying with ASTM C 42, or by other
methods as directed. Contractor shall pay for such tests
conducted, and any other additional testing as may be required,
when unacceptable concrete is verified.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
EXCAVATION:
Perform all excavation work required in connection with the
installation of the work under this Division. After the electrical
work has been installed, tested and approved, backfill all
excavations with suitable material under the direction of the
Architect. Include the cutting of all sidewalks, streets and other
1 pavement and repairing the openings in them to return to the
surface to approximately its original condition.
�. Perform all excavations of every description of whatever substances
�. encountered and to the depths required for installation of the work
under this Division.
During excavation, stack material suitable for backfilling in an
orderly manner a sufficient distance from the banks of the trenches
to prevent slides or cave-ins. Remove all excavated material not
required or suitable for backfill, or waste as directed. Control
grading to prevent surface water from flowing into excavations and
remove any water accumulating therein by pumping.
Use open cut grading and make trenches of the necessary width for
proper installation of the lines with banks as nearly vertical as
possible.
Grade the bottom of trenches accurately to provide uniform bearing
and support for conduit or duct on undisturbed soil at every point
along its entire length.
Except at locations where excavation of rock from the bottoms of
trenches is required, take care not to excavate below the depths
required. Where rock excavation is required, remove the rock to a
minimum overdepth of 4 inches below the trench depths specified.
Backfill the overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench
excavation to the proper level with 3/4 inch crushed rock or the
equivalent in coarse gravel prior to the installation of conduit or
ducts. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable
of properly supporting conduits or ducts is encountered in the
trench bottom, remove such soil to a depth required and backfill
the trench to trench bottom grade with 3/4 inch crushed rock or
coarse gravel or other suitable material.
BACKFILLING:
Carefully backfill trenches with earth, sandy clay, sand and
gravel, soft shale or other approved material free from large clods
of earth or stone, deposited in thoroughly and carefully rammed
6 -inch layers. Do not use blasted rock, broken concrete or
pavement, or large boulders as backfilling material. Settling the
1 97067 16.000 - 7
backfill with water will be permissible and will be a requirement
when so directed. Re -open any trenches improperly filled or where
settlement occurs to the depth required for proper compaction, then
refill, mound over and smooth off.
Backfill open trenches across roadways or other areas to be paved
as specified above except that the entire depth of trench shall be
backfilled in 6 -inch layers, each layer moistened and compacted to
a density of not less than 95% Standard Proctor in such manner as
to permit the rolling and compaction of the filled trench together
with the adjoining earth to provide the required bearing value and
permit paving of the area immediately after backfilling is
completed. Along all other portions of the trenches, grade the
ground to a reasonable uniformity and leave the mounding over the
trenches in a uniform and neat condition.
OPENING AND CLOSING PAVEMENT:.
Where excavation requires the opening of existing walks, streets,
drives or other existing pavement, including "black topping," cut
the pavement as required. Hold the size of the cut to a minimum
consistent with the work to be accomplished. After the installation
of the new work is completed and the excavation has been
backfilled, patch the paving using materials to match those cut
out. Take care that the patches are level with the original
surfaces and thoroughly bond with them.
INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND PLASTIC CONDUIT:
Install at least 30 inches below finished grade unless noted to the
contrary. Assemble and install raceways in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. Make joints with couplings and solvent
cement. Fabricate bends of 30 degrees or more with factory -made
elbows, or make field bends with proper heating equipment. Bends
showing signs of overheating or flattening are unacceptable. Ream
ends of all conduit before joining.
"Snake" plastic conduit in trench, from side .to side, with a
complete cycle every 40 feet to allow for expansion and
contraction. Maintain this configuration during backfilling.
Where conduit turns up out of earth, or floor slabs, change from
plastic to rigid galvanized steel conduit below grade and outside
of such structures. Do not extend any plastic conduit above grade.
Make similar change from plastic to rigid galvanized steel conduit
at connections to underground pull or junction boxes. Wrap all
steel conduits and fittings buried in earth as specified elsewhere
herein, or use PVC coated steel conduits.
INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND STEEL CONDUIT:.
All steel conduit in earth shall be rigid galvanized steel conduit.
Wrap such conduit with 3M Company 0.020 inch thick No. 51
"scotchrap" vinyl plastic tape, half lapped to give a double
thickness wrap. Remove all oil, grease and dirt from conduit with a
No
97067 16.000 - 8 IF
ib
suitable solvent, and clean and dry conduit before wrapping. If
conduit is pre -wrapped in the shop and then cut and joined on the
job, wrap all joints on the job, overlapping pipe wrapping 3" on
both sides of joints.
INSTALLATION OF BUILDING RACEWAYS:
All wiring of every description shall be run in conduit or
electrical metallic tubing unless noted or specified otherwise.
Conduits may be run exposed in machinery and electrical rooms and
unfinished areas. All other conduits shall be run concealed unless
otherwise noted. All exposed runs shall be installed parallel to
the surface of the building in a neat and orderly manner.
" Types: All conduits installed in wet or damp locations, or on
roofs shall be rigid galvanized steel conduits. Above grade
interior conduits shall be rigid galvanized steel conduit.
Conduits installed below grade in slabs or buried in earth shall be
PVC or rigid galvanized steel.
Sizes: Size and install raceways so that conductors may be drawn
in without injury or excessive 'strain. Make field bends with
approved bending devices. Do not install bends or offsets in which
conduit is crushed, deformed or otherwise injured.
Connections: Use lengths of flexible metal conduit, not less than
12" long at final connections to all motors, controls and other
devices subject to movement because of vibration or mechanical
adjustment.
Around Heat Producing Equipment: Do not install raceways within 3"
of hot water pipes, breeching and flues, except where crossings are
unavoidable, and then keep raceways at least 1" from insulation on
the pipe, breeching or flue crossed. Wherever possible, avoid
installing raceways directly above or in close proximity to boilers
and other like objects operating at high temperatures.
Joining Rigid _Conduits: Join with threaded couplings. Ream out
all conduit ends after threading. Secure rigid conduits at panel
boxes, junction boxes, pull boxes, switchboards, support boxes, or
sheet metal outlet boxes by galvanized locknuts, inside and
outside, with insulating bushing inside. Unthreaded set screw type
couplings or connectors are not acceptable in rigid conduit
' systems. No running threads shall be used anywhere in conduit
systems.
' Protection of Raceways: Seal ends of all raceways with blank discs
(""pennies"), push pennies or other approved closers during
construction. Do not pull any conductors into raceways until all
plastering in the vicinity is completed. Swab out all raceways
before pulling in conductors.
Penetrations: Wherever raceways pass through floors, walls
partitions, etc., carefully fill any space between the outside of
the raceway and the building material to prevent passage of air,
1- 97067 16.000 - 9
water, smoke and fumes. Filling material shall be fire resistive
and, in general, similar to the basic building materials through
which the raceway passes. '
CONDUIT SUPPORTS:
Support Spacing: Use minimum spacing as directed by National '
Electrical Code, but space hangers more closely where required by
conditions.
Individual Conduits: Support conduits running vertically or
horizontally with galvanized malleable iron one hole clamps. Carry
individually supported horizontal conduits 1-1/41' and larger on
Kindorf No. 150 or Steel City No. C-149 hangers. Use no perforated
strap iron as hanger material. Where conduits smaller than 1-1/4"
are installed above metal lath and plaster ceilings or mechanically
suspended dry ceilings of the non -removable type, they may be
supported on ceiling runner channels. Where conduits smaller than
1-1/4" are installed above removable ceilings, attach them to the
structure or bar joists (where present) or support them on threaded
hanger rods with clips. Do not use any wire to support conduits or
to attach conduits to supporting members. Locate conduits a
sufficient distance above the ceiling to permit removal of the
ceiling panels. Locate them so as not to hinder access to
mechanical and electrical equipment through the ceiling panels.
Multiple Conduits: Where multiple raceways are run horizontally at
the same elevations, they may be supported on trapezes formed of
sections of Unistrut angle iron or channels suspended on rods or
pipes. Size trapeze members including the suspension rods for the
number size and loaded weight of the conduits they are to support.
Space them as required for the smallest conduit supported.
