t 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 which have
r,W not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.
42. PARTIAL PAYMENTS
r' On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an application
k for partial payment. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment 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; said statement shall also include the value of all sound materials delivered on site of
the work that are to be fabricated into the work.
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 this agreement. It Is understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to
completion, and this fact Is certified to by Owner's Representative and some unexpected and some unusual
delay occurs due to no fault or negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Owner may upon written
recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage
due Contractor.
43. FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
Within thirty-one (31) days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that the work
has been completed or substantially completed, the Owner's Representative and the Owner shall inspect the
work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in accordance with the
contract documents, the Owner's Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor his certificate of
completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Owner within thirty-one (31) days to issue a certificate of
acceptance of the work to the Contractor.
44. FINAL PAYMENT
Upon the issuance of the certificate of completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final
measurement and prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials fumished under the
terms of the agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay to the Contractor on or before the
31 st day after the date of certificate of completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of this
agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this contract; and said
payment shall become due in any event upon said performance by the Contractor. Neither the certificate of
acceptance nor the final payment, nor any provisions in the contract documents shall relieve the Contractor of
the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required in the special conditions (if any) of this
contract or required in the specifications made a part of this contract.
45. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT FOR WORK
Contractor shall promptly remove from Owners' premises all materials condemned by the Owner's
Representative on account of failure to conform to the contract, whether actually incorporated in the work or not,
and Contractor shall at his own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other materials
conforming to the requirements of the contract. 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.
46. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT
Neither the final payment nor certificate nor any provision in this contract shall relieve the Contractor of
responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship, and he 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
substantial completion. The Owner or the Owner's Representative shall give notice of observed defects with
reasonable promptness.
47. PAYMENT WITHHELD
The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any
certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on account of.
(a) Defective work not remedied.
(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. r
(d) Damage to another contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, or the Contractor provides a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner, which
will protect the Owner in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them.
48. TIME OF FILING CLAIMS
It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the Contractor
shall be in writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) days after the Owner's
Representative has given any directions, order or instruction to which the Contractor desires to take exception.
The Owners' Representative shall reply to such written exceptions by the Contractor and render his final decision
In writing. In case the Contractor should appeal from the decision of the Owner's Representative, any demand
for arbitration shall be filed with the Owner's Representative and the Owner in writing within ten (10) days after
the date of delivery to Contractor of the final decision of the Owner's Representative. It is further agreed that
final acceptance of the work by the Owner and the acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a
bar to any claim by either party, except where noted otherwise in the contract documents.
49. ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written
notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the orders of
r the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, this Agreement, or the
Specifications hereto attached, 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.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the Contractor shall not remove from the work any machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and equipment
under the contract for work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the Contractor, or
another contractor, in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefore
(except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under paragraph
24 of this contract); it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the
cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for
within ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion of the work in either
of the following elective manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of machinery, equipment, tools, materials and
supplies as said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such
labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so
charged shall be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such moneys as may be due, or that may
thereafter at any time become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such
expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been
completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such expense is
greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been
completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess
to the Owner, or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice published as required by law, at least twice in a newspaper
having a 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. However, 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.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and
certificates of completion and acceptance, as provided In paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A
r. 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, 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 certificate of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work Is less than that which would
have been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this
contract, or when the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the Owner,
then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the
Contractor and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the Contractor
and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the Owner within the time designated hereinabove, and there
remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety at the
respective addresses designated in this contract; provided, however, that actual written notice given in any
manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the
risk of the Contractor and his Surety subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect
such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice the Owner may sell such machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the
Contractor and his Surety. Such sale may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the --
Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain
on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
50. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said
terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly
abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and equipment, and all materials on the
ground that have not been included In payments to the Contractor and have not been incorporated into the work.
Thereupon, the Owner's Representative shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the Contractor,
which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said Contractor at the prices stated in the
attached bid, the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra
Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to.
cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which cannot be utilized. The Owner's Representative shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by
deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may be retained
by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the _
Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance shown by
said final statement as due the Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.
51. 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. And it is further agreed that this
contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are so furnished.
52. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special
conditions conflict with any of the general conditions contained In this contract, then in such event the special
conditions shall control.
53. LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss 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 and the prosecution of the same,
or from unusual obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work, shall be
sustained and borne by the Contractor at his own cost and expense.
r54. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
r.., Contractor Is, and shall remain, an independent contractor with full, complete and exclusive power and authority
to direct, supervise, and control his own employees and to determine the method of the performance of the work
covered hereby. The fact that the Owner or Owner's Representative shall have the right to observe Contractor's
work during his performance and to carry out the other prerogatives which are expressly reserved to and vested
P" in the Owner or Owner's Representative hereunder, is not intended to and shall not at any time change or 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.

r, raceways, boxes and enclosures according to the manufacturer's written instructions.
16110 - 3
B. Conduits: All exposed runs shall be installed level and square and at proper elevations,
parallel to the surface of the building in a neat and orderly manner. Provide adequate
headroom.
C. Bends: Install no more than the equivalent of four 90-degree bends between boxes.
Make field bends with approved bending devices. Use hydraulic one-shot bender to
fabricate bends in metal conduit larger than 2 inch size. Make bends and offsets so the
inside diameter is not reduced. Unless otherwise indicated, keep the legs of a bend in the
same plane and the straight legs of offsets parallel. Do not install bends or offsets in
which conduit is crushed, deformed or otherwise injured.
D. Conduit Bodies: Use conduit bodies to make sharp changes in direction. _
E. Completion: Complete raceway installation before starting conductor installation.
F. Sizes: Size and install raceways so that conductors may be drawn in without injury or
excessive strain. Sizes of conduits shown on the drawings are minimum sizes to be
installed.
G. Connections: Use lengths of flexible metal conduit, not less than 12 inches long and not
more than 24 inches long at final connections to all motors, generators, controls and
other devices subject to movement because of vibration or mechanical adjustment. In --
damp or wet locations, and where installed outdoors, use liquidtight flexible metal
conduit.
H. Around Heat Producing Equipment: Do not install raceways within twelve inches of
steam and hot water pipes, breeching and flues, except where crossings are unavoidable,
and then keep raceways at least six inches 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.
I. 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.
Protection of Raceways: Seal ends of all raceways with blank discs ("pennies"), push
pennies or other approved closers during construction to prevent foreign matter from
entering raceway. Do not pull any conductors into raceways until all plastering in the
vicinity is completed. Swab out all raceways before pulling in conductors.
K. 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, in r-
general, similar to the basic building materials through which the raceway passes.
L. Pulling Devices in Empty Raceways: Provide in every empty raceway, not containing --
conductors to be installed by this Contractor, a suitable pull line to facilitate future
installation of wiring. Lines shall be free from splices and shall have not less than 12
inches of slack at each end of the pull wire. Identify each end of each line with a linen
16110 - 4
,
tag bearing complete information as to the purpose of the raceway and the location of its
other end. All lines shall be nylon or polyethylene cord with a tensile strength not less
r- than 200 pounds.
3.05 JOINING AND TERMINATING CONDUITS:
A. Joining Rigid Conduits: Join with threaded couplings. Ream out all conduit ends after
threading. Secure rigid conduits at panel boxes, junction boxes, pull boxes,
PM switchboards, support boxes, or sheet metal outlet boxes by galvanized locknuts, inside
r 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.
t
F
B. Joining Electrical Metallic Tubing: Cut conduit square using saw or pipe cutter; de -burr
cut ends. Bring conduit to shoulder of fittings and fasten securely.
C. Terminations: Where raceways are terminated with locknuts and bushings, align the
raceway to enter squarely, and install the locknuts with dished part against the box.
Where terminations cannot be made secure with one locknut, use two locknuts, one
inside and one outside the box. Where terminating in threaded hubs, screw the raceway
or fitting tight into the hub so the end bears against the wire protection shoulder. Where
chase nipples are used, align the raceway so the coupling is square to the box, and
tighten the chase nipples so no threads are exposed.
3.06 480 VOLT SYSTEMS:
A. General: 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.
3.07 CONDUIT SUPPORTS:
i
A. Support Spacing: Use minimum spacing as directed by National Electrical Code, but
space hangers more closely where required by conditions.
B. 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.
C. 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 galvanized steel hangers. Use no perforated strap iron as hanger material.
Arrange supports to prevent misalignment of conduit during wire installation.
D. Above Non -removable Ceilings: 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.
16110 - 5
E. Above Removable Ceilings: 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. Do not attach conduit to ceiling support wires.
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.
F. Multiple Conduits: Where multiple raceways are run horizontally at the same elevations,
they may be supported on trapezes formed of sections of Unistrut or approved equal
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. Group related
conduits together. Provide space on each rack for 25 percent additional conduit.
3.08 INSTALLATION OF PULL AND JUNCTION BOXES:
A. Sizing: Size all pull and junction boxes in accordance with NEC, using larger sizes than
required by code where job conditions so indicate.
B. Mounting: Fasten all boxes securely to the building construction, independent of conduit
systems. On concealed conduit systems where boxes are not otherwise accessible, set -'
box covers flush with finished surfaces for access.
3.09 IDENTIFICATION OF PULL AND JUNCTION BOXES:
A. Branch Circuits: Each pull and junction box shall be labeled with indelible ink to
indicate the wiring contained inside the box. The label shall indicate the panel and circuit
number of the wiring contained.
