I The Contractor and the Surety, jointly and severally,
bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, suc-
cessors and assigns to the Owner for the performance of
the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
2 If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract,
the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation
under this Bond, except to participate in conferences as
provided in Subparagraph 3.1.
^* 3 If there is no Owner Default, the Surety's obligation
under this Bond shall arise after:
10"
3.1 The Owner has notified the Contractor and the
Surety at its address described in Paragraph 10 below
that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor
Default and has requested and attempted to arrange a
conference with the Contractor and the Surety to be
held not later than fifteen days after receipt of such
notice to discuss methods of performing the Construc-
tion Contract. If the Owner, the Contractor and the
Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a
reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract,
but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner's
right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor
Default; and
3.2 The Owner has declared a Contractor Default and
formally terminated the Contractor's right to complete
the contract. Such Contractor Default shall not be
declared earlier than twenty days after the Contractor
and the Surety have received notice as provided in
Subparagraph 3.1; and
3.3 The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the
Contract Price to the Surety in accordance with the
terms of the Construction Contract or to a contractor
selected to perform the Construction Contract in ac-
cordance with the terms of the contract with the Owner.
4 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of
Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's
expense take one of the following actions:
4.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with consent of the
Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Con-
tract; or
4.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construc-
tion Contract itself, through its agents or through inde-
pendent contractors; or
4.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified
contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for
performance and completion of the Construction Con-
tract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execu-
tion by the Owner and the contractor selected with the
Owner's concurrence, to be secured with performance
and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety
equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction
Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages
as described in Paragraph 6 in excess of the Balance of
the Contract Price incurred by the Owner resulting from
the Contractor's default; or
4.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange
for completion, or obtain a new contractor and with
reasonable promptness under the circumstances:
1 After investigation, determine the amount for
which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon
as practicable after the amount is determined,
tender payment therefor to the Owner; or
.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the
Owner citing reasons therefor.
5 If the Surety does not proceed as provided in
Paragraph 4 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall
be deemed to be in default on this Bond fifteen days after
receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the
Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations
under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce
any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds
as provided in Subparagraph 4.4, and the Owner refuses
the payment tendered or the Surety has denied liability, in
whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be
entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.
6 After the Owner has terminated the Contractor's right to
complete the Construction Contract, and if the Surety elects
to act under Subparagraph 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 above, then the
responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be
greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction
Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to the
Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under
the Construction Contract. To the limit of the amount of this
Bond, but subject to commitment by the Owner of the
Balance of the Contract Price to mitigation of costs and
damages on the Construction Contract, the Surety is
obligated without duplication for:
6.1 The responsibilities of the Contractor for correction
of defective work and completion of the Construction
Contract;
6.2 Additional legal, design professional and delay
costs resulting from the Contractor's Default, and result-
ing from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under
Paragraph 4; and
6.3 Liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages
are specified in the Construction Contract, actual
damages caused by delayed performance or nonperfor-
mance of the Contractor.
7 The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for
obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Con-
struction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price
shall not be reduced or set off on account of any such unre-
lated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this
Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its
heirs, executors, administrators or successors.
8 The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, includ-
ing changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to re-
lated subcontracts, purchase orders and other obligations.
9 Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond
may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in
the location in which the work or part of the work is located
and shall be instituted within two years after Contractor
Default or within two years after the
Contractor ceased working or within two years after the
Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this
Bond, whichever occurs first. If the pro-
visions of this Paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the
minimum period of limitation avail -

PM be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the signa-

statutory or other legal requirement in the location where
the construction was to be performed, any provision in this
Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement
shall be deemed deleted herefrom and provisions conform-
ing to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be

mon law bond.

(C) include in all contracts to provide services on the project the language in subsection (e) (3) of this

(E) obtain from each other person with whom it contracts, and provide to the contractor:
(i) a certificate of coverage, prior to the other person beginning work on the project; and
(ii) prior to the end of the coverage period, a new certificate of coverage showing extension of the

the duration of the project;
(F) retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project and for one year
thereafter;
(G) notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within (ten) 10 days
after the person knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of

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 T=j
a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute extra work or as to the payment therefore, and

ILI
34. 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 $0 (ZERO DOLLARS) PER DAY, not

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
;a
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
'� 13
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.
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,
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 l
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 T
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.
39. PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY

encountered, which may be injured or seriously affected by any process of construction to be undertaken under 1

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,

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.
41. PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the

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 waiver of all claims against Owner, Owner's
agents and employees, which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.

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.
-j• 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.

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

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

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 —1
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. i
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.

amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them.

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.
16
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.
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
1 17

50.
51.
52.
53.
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 that 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 I_
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

Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be supplied into the newly laid pipe, or any valved
section thereof, to maintain the specified leakage test pressure after the air in the pipeline has been expelled
and the pipe has been filled with water.
No pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage is greater than the allowable leakage calculated in
accordance with paragraph 9903 of NFPA Pamphlet No. 24. The allowable leakage under this Standard for
rubber gasketed joints is 2 quarts per hour per 100 joints irrespective of pipe diameter with the leakage
distributed overall joints.
The Engineer shall be furnished a written report of the results of each leakage test that identifies the specific
length of pipe tested, the pressure, the duration of the test, and the amount of leakage.
Variation from Permissible Leakage: If any test of pipe discloses leakage greater than the specified amount,
the Contractor shall at his own expense locate and repair the leaks until the leakage is within the specified
amount.
,? 97070 15110-5

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 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. -1
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, intermediate metal conduits or electrical
metallic tubing. 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,
generators, controls and other devices subject to movement because of vibration or mechanical adjustment.
Use flexible metal conduit also at connections to recessed lighting fixtures, and elsewhere as required. In
damp or wet locations, and where installed outdoors, use liquidtight flexible metal conduit.
Around Heat Producing Equipment: Do not install raceways within 3" of steam and 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.
Damp or Wet Locations: In damp or wet locations make every effort to avoid installing raceways in a manner
which will create moisture traps. Where they must be so installed, seal both ends of raceways with an
approved sealing compound to prevent "breathing" and moisture condensation within the raceways.
Different Systems: In systems operating at more than 300 volts between phase conductors, where different
phase conductors are to be run to a common gang wall switch box, install a separate conduit for each
different phase wire and its return switch leg, and provide substantial barriers between adjacent switches in
the box so that two different phase wires will not be the same compartment.
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. ^l
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.
97070 16010-4
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, water, smoke and fumes.
Filling material shall be fire resistive and installed to meet requirements of the U.L. Fire Resistance Directory.
CONDUIT SUPPORTS:
Support Spacing: Use minimum spacing as directed by National Electrical Code, but space hangers more
closely where required by conditions.
Vertical Conduit Risers: Support vertical conduits at each floor by means of riser clamps or U-bolts, clamping
them to a steel channel bridging the opening in the floor.
Individual Conduits: Support conduits running vertically or horizontally with galvanized malleable iron one
hole clamps. Carry individually supported horizontal conduits 1-1/4" 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
j, 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.
INSTALLATION OF OUTLET BOXES:
Usage: Provide at each outlet or device of whatever character a metal outlet box in which conduits shall
terminate.
Boxes recessed in construction: Sheet steel boxes.
For Lighting Fixture Outlets: 4" octagonal by 1-1/2" minimum depth with 3/8" fixture stud for incandescent
lights which are surface mounted, wall mounted or suspended.
For Wall Switches, Receptacles and Communications Use: Use 4"x4" size with proper square cornered the
wall cover, plaster cover, or finishing plate, except where construction will not permit or the device requires a
larger box.
Wall Mounted Telephone Outlet Boxes: 4-11/16" square by 2-1/8" deep, unless otherwise noted or unless
wall construction requires a smaller box.
Boxes for Exposed Work: Cast metal boxes.
Boxes for Outdoors: Cast metal boxes with gasketed covers.
INSTALLATION OF PULL AND JUNCTION BOXES:
Sizing: Size all pull and junction boxes in accordance with NEC, using larger sizes than required by code
where job conditions so indicate.
