i 3. PLANS FOR USE BY BIDDERS
It is the intent of the City of Lubbock that all parties with an interest in submitting a bid on the project covered by the
contract documents be given a reasonable opportunity to examine the documents and prepare a bid without charge of
forfeiture of deposit. The contract documents, may be examined without charge as noted in the Notice to Bidders.

The construction covered by the contract documents shall be fully completed within 120 (One Hundred Twenty) calendar
days from the date specified in the Notice to Proceed issued by the City of Lubbock to the successful bidder.
The Contractor will be permitted to prosecute the work in the order of his own choosing, provided, however, the City
f.. reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit a progress schedule of the work contemplated by the contract
' documents. In the event the City requires a progress schedule to be submitted, and it is determined by the City that the
w progress of the work is not in accordance with the progress schedule so submitted, the City may direct the Contractor to take

affidavit that all bills for labor, materials and incidentals incurred in the construction of the improvements contemplated by
the contract documents have been paid in full and that there are no claims pending, of which the Contractor has been
notified.
7. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
f
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
r" 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
C- documents provide minimum standards of quality which the Owner believes necessary to procure a satisfactory project.
i
F
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

proper prosecution of the work contemplated by the Contractor.
10. PROTECTION OF THE WORK
The Contractor shall be responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, and protection of all materials, supplies,
machinery, equipment, tools, apparatus, accessories, facilities, and all means of construction, and any and all parts of the
work whether the Contractor has been paid, partially paid, or not paid for such work, until the date the City issues its
certificate of completion to Contractor. The City reserves the right, after the bids have been opened and before the contract
has been awarded, to require of a bidder the following information:
(a) The experience record of the bidder showing completed jobs of a similar nature to the one covered by the proposed
contract and all work in progress with bond amounts and percentage completed.
(b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of the bidder.
(c) Equipment schedule.
11. TEXAS STATE SALES TAX
This contract is issued by an organization which qualifies for exemption provisions pursuant to provisions of Article 20.04
of the Texas Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act.
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.
12. 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.
13. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES
The contractor shall, at his own expense, furnish and erect such barricades, fences, lights and danger signals, and 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

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.
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 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.
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.

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 insurance certificates furnished shall name the City as an additional insured and shall further state that all
subcontractors are named as additional insureds, or in the alternative, shall be accompanied by a statement from the
Contractor to the effect that no work on this particular project shall be subcontracted.
17. 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 5159a, 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 its
citizens.
(2) Delays in construction are due to factors outside the control of the Contractor. The Contractor is approaching the
penalty provisions of the contract and Contractor can show he has made a diligent effort to complete the contract
within the allotted time.
Before construction work requiring an inspector is to be performed on weekends or holidays, the Contractor must notify the
Owner's Representative not less than three full working days prior to the weekend or holiday he desires to do work and
obtain written permission from the Owner's Representative to do such work. The final decision on whether to allow
construction work requiring an inspector on weekends or holidays will be made by the Owner's Representative.
In any event, if a condition should occur or arise at the site of this project or from the work being done under this contract
which is hazardous or dangerous to property or life, the Contractor shall immediately commence work, regardless of the day
of the week or the time of day, to correct or alleviate such condition so that it is no longer dangerous to property or life.
18. PAYMENT OF EMPLOYEES AND FILING OF PAYROLLS
The contractor and each of his subcontractors shall pay each of his employees engaged in work on the project under this
contract in full (less mandatory legal deductions) in cash, or by check readily cashable without discount, not less often than
once each week. The Contractor and each of his subcontractors engaged at the site of the work shall not later than the
seventh day following the payment of wages, file with the Owner's Representative, or Engineer, a certified, sworn, legible
copy of such payroll. This shall contain the name of each employee, his classification, the number of hours worked on each
day, rate of pay, and net pay. The affidavit shall state that the copy is a true and correct copy of such payroll, that no rebates
or deductions (except as shown) have been made, or will in the future be made from the wages paid as shown thereon. The
Contractor must classify employees according to one of the classifications set forth in the schedule of general prevailing rate
of per diem wages, which schedule is included in the contract documents.
The Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the City of Lubbock on whose behalf this contract is made, ten dollars for each
laborer, workman, or mechanic employed for each calendar day, or portion thereof, such laborer, workman or mechanic is
paid less than the wages assigned to his particular classification as set forth in the schedule of general prevailing rate of per
diem wages included in these contract documents.
19. PROVISIONS CONCERNING ESCALATOR CLAUSES

decreases in the cost of materials, labor or other items required for the project will be rejected and returned to the bidder
without being considered.

opinion of either party hereto, is not in accordance with the meaning and intent of this contract, either party may file with
said Owner's Representative within 30 days his written objection to the decision or direction so rendered, and by such action
7 may reserve the right to submit the questions so raised to arbitration as hereinafter provided. It is the intent of this

Representative as rendered shall be promptly carried out, and any claim arising therefrom shall be thereafter adjusted to
r arbitration as hereinafter provided.
The Owner's Representative shall, within a reasonable time, render and deliver to both the Owner and the Contractor a
written decision on all claims of the parties hereto and on all questions which may arise relative to the execution of the work
E or the interpretation of the contract, specifications and plans. Should the Owner's Representative fail to make such decision

7 work, during its progress, a competent superintendent and any necessary assistants, all satisfactory to Owner's
F Representative. The superintendent shall represent the Contractor in his absence and all directions given to him shall be
binding as if given to the Contractor. Adequate supervision by competent and reasonable representatives of the Contractor
r.. is essential to the proper performance of the work and lack of such supervision shall be grounds for suspending operations
of the Contractor.
The work, from its commencement to completion, shall be under the exclusive charge and control of the Contractor and all
risk in connection therewith shall be borne by the Contractor.
The Owner or Owner's Representatives will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Contractor, or any
subcontractors, or any of his agents or employees, or any other persons performing any of the work
17. CONTRACTOR'S UNDERSTANDING
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examination, satisfied himself as to the nature and location of
the work, the confirmation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of materials to be encountered, the character of
equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of the work, and the general and local conditions,
and all other matters which in any way effect the work under this contract. No verbal agreement or conversation with any
officer, agent, or employee of the Owner, either before or after the execution of this contract, shall effect or modify any of
the terms or obligations herein contained.
18. CHARACTER OF WORKMEN

under this contract, to do the work; and agrees that whenever the Owner's Representative shall inform him in writing that

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

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

on such extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all expenses incurred directly on

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 he should receive compensation or an
adjustment in the construction time, he shall 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). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to
arbitration as herein below provided.

TO ANY RIGHT OF LEGAL ACTION.

as they deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident to the appeal, and if the appeal was taken without reasonable

50. 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 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 complete itemized
statement of the contract accounts, certified to by Owner's Representative as being correct shall then be prepared and
PM
52.
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.
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 the attached proposal, 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.
BONDS
The successful bidder shall be required to furnish a performance bond and payment bond in accordance with Article 5160,
Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes in the amount of 100% of the total contract price, in the event said contract price exceeds
$25,000.00. If the contract price does not exceed $25,000.00, the statutory bonds will not be required. 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.
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.
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.
55. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
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 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.
56. CLEANING UP
The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of debris caused by the work, and at the
completion of the work he shall remove all such debris and also his tools, scaffolding, and surplus materials and shall leave
the work room clean or its equivalent. The work shall be left in good order and condition. In rase of dispute Owner may
remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.

3.02 INSTALLATION OF BUILDING RACEWAYS:
A.
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
r„
building in a neat and orderly manner.
B.
Sizes: Size and install raceways so the 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.
C.
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
l
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.
D.
Around Neat 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
FCity of Lubbock - WTP Maintenance Building
16200 - Page 4
directly above or in close proximity to boilers and other like
objects operating at high temperatures.
E. 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 with in the
raceways.
F. Joining Rigid Conduit: 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.
G. 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.
H. Penetrations of non fire rated assemblies: 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 general,
similar to the basic building materials through which the
raceway passes.

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
City ,of Lubbock - WTP Maintenance Building
16200 - Page 5
structure or bar joints (where present) or support them on
threaded hanger rods with clips. Do not use any wire to
r 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.
C. 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.
3.04 INSTALLATION OF OUTLET BOXES:
A. Usage: Provide at each outlet or device of whatever character
a metal outlet box in which conduits shall terminate.

r C. For Lighting Fixture Outlets: 4" octagonal with 3/8" fixture
stud for incandescent lights which are surface mounted, wall
mounted or suspended.
D. For Wall Switches, Receptacles and Communications Use: Use
4"x4" size with proper square cornered tile wall cover,
plaster cover, or finishing plate, except where construction
will not permit or the device requires a larger box.
E. Boxes for Exposed Work: Cast metal boxes.
F. Boxes for Outdoors: Cast metal boxes with gasketed covers.
r^ 3.05 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.
3.06 INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND PLASTIC CONDUIT:
A. 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
F City of Lubbock - WTP Maintenance Building

heating equipment. Bends showing signs.of overheating or
flattening are unacceptable. Ream ends of all conduit before
Joining.
B. "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.
C. Where conduit turns up out of earth through floor slabs, or
turns up into pole bases or concrete mats, etc., change from
plastic to rigid galvanized.steel conduit below grade and
outside of such structures. Do not extend any plastic conduit
above grade except where branch circuits concealed in walls
are allowed to be PVC to the first outlet box (not to exceed
24 inches). 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
