calendar days from the date specified in the Notice to Proceed issued by the City of Lubbock to the successful
bidder.

City 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

contemplated by the contract documents have been paid in full and that there are no claims pending, of which the
Contractor has been notified.
6. 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

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.

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 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.
(c) Equipment schedule.

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 to the satisfaction of the City of Lubbock, Texas, at Contractor's expense.
14. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES

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.

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.

directed to the requirements of Article 5159a, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes providing for the payment of the

approvals shall be borne by the Contractor unless otherwise provided herein. Any work which fails to meet the

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.

F
r
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.
r, 22. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is expressly agreed that if the work or any park 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

notice thereof from the Owner's Representative, forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy

action contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be at Contractor's expense.
23. CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS
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,
t alteration or addition to the worts 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
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,
r ` 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,

r 5
l
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. Owners 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 Owners Representative. The Owners
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 Contractors 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 Owners 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 Owners 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.
25. 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 -T
such price shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the work in accordance with the intent of these
contract documents as interpreted by Owners 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 Owners 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

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.

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 Owners
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 Owners 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 Owners
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, Owners agents and employees and
Owners 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 Owners 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 -y
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
18 rs .
t.
I.
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,
r 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,
f 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
i 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.
r�
t
r
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,

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 Preparation
3.1.1 Work Area
3.1.1.1 Post caution signs meeting the specifications of OSHA 29 CFR 19 10. 1001 (g) (1)
(ii) at any location and approaches to a location where airborne concentrations of
asbestos may exceed ambient background levels. Signs shall be posted at a distance _
sufficiently far enough away from the work area to permit an employee to read the sign
and take the necessary protective measures to avoid exposure. Additional signs may
need to be posted`following construction of work place enclosure barriers. _
3.1.1.2 hisure safe installation (including ground faulting) of temporary power sources
and equipment by compliance with all applicable electrical code requirements and OSHA
requirements for temporary electrical systems. All cost for electricity shall be paid for by
the Owner unless otherwise specified.
r
` 3.1.1.3 Shut down and lock out all heating, cooling and air conditioning system (HVAC)
components that are in, supply or pass through the work area. (Note: Interiors of existing
duct work may require decontamination. This may be done during the pre -cleaning
phase of operations before the duct work is sealed off or during the final cleaning phase
prior to re -engagement of the system. Appropriate equipment and control measures shall
be utilized to prevent contamination of building spaces during this operation. Adequate
cleaning of ductwork may sometime be accomplished by drawing high volumes of air
through the system using the HEPA filtered negative pressure ventilation units)
Investigate the work area and agree on pre -abatement condition with the Building Owner.
Seal all intake and exhaust vents in the work area with tape and 6 mil polyethylene. Also
seal any seams in system components that pass through the work area. Remove all
'HVAC filters and place in labeled 6-mil polyethylene bags for staging and eventual
disposal as asbestos contaminated waste.
3.1.1.4 The Contractor shall provide sanitary facilities for abatement personnel outside
of the enclosed work area and maintain them in a clean and sanitary condition throughout
the project.
3.1.1.5 The Owner will provide water for construction purposes. Contractor shall
connect to existing Owner system.
3.1.1.6 Pre -clean all movable objects within the work area using a HEPA filtered
vacuum and/or wet cleaning methods as appropriate. After cleaning, these objects shall
be removed from the work area and carefully stored in an uncontaminated location.
(Carpeting, drapes, clothing, upholstered furniture and other fabric items may be
disposed of as' asbestos contaminated waste or cleaned as asbestos contaminated items
utilizing HEPA vacuum techniques and off- premises steam cleaning. Since adequate
cleaning of severely contaminated fabric is difficult, the Building Owner or project
manager must carefully consider whether this option is an appropriate one.
3.1.1.7 Pre -clean all fixed objects in the work area using HEPA filtered vacuum and/or
wet cleaning techniques as appropriate. Careful attention must be paid to machinery
behind grills or gratings where access may be difficult. After pre -cleaning, enclose fixed
objects in 4-mil polyethylene sheeting and seal securely in place with tape.
3.1.1.8 Pre -clean all surfaces in the work area using HEPA filtered vacuums and/or wet
cleaning methods as appropriate. Do not use any methods that would raise dust such as
dry sweeping or vacuuming with equipment not equipped with HEPA filters. Do not
disturb asbestos containing materials during the pre -cleaning phase.
3.1.1.9 Seal off all windows, doorways, elevator opening, corridor entrances, drains,
ducts, grills, grates, diffusers skylights and any other openings between the work area and
uncontaminated areas outside of the work area (including the outside of the building,
r
tunnels and crawl spaces) with 4-mil polyethylene sheeting and tape (see Section 3.1.4-
Isolation work area from occupied areas).
3. 1. l .10 Cover floors in the work area with polyethylene ( When Applicable )
3.1.1.10.1 Floor shall be covered with two layers of 6-mil (minimum) sheeting.
Additional layers of sheeting may be utilized as drop cloths to aid in cleanup of bulk
materials.
3.1.1.10.2 Plastic shall be sized to minimize seams. If the floor area necessitates seams,
those on successive layers of sheeting shall be staggered to reduce the potential for water
to penetrate to the flooring material. A distance of at least 6 feet between seams is
sufficient. DO NOT locate any seams at wall/floor joints.
3.1.1.10.3 Floor sheeting shall extend at least 12" up the side walls of the work area.
3.1.1.10.4 Sheeting shall be installed in a fashion so as to prevent slippage between
successive layers of material. (Vinyl sheeting maybe used for improved traction on
floors).
3.1.1.11 Walls shall be covered with two layers of 4 mil polyethylene sheeting.
3.1.1.11.1 Plastic shall be sized to minimize seams. Seams shall be staggered and
separated by a distance of at least 6 feet.
3.1.1.11.2 Wall sheeting shall overlap floor sheeting by at least 12 inches beyond the
wall/floor joint to provide a better seal against water damage and for negative pressure.
3.1.1.11.3 Wall sheeting shall be secured adequately to prevent it from falling away from
the walls. This will require additional support attachment when negative pressure
ventilation systems are utilized.
3.1.1.11.4 Lower utilities as necessary and re -install in a manner which permits proper
utilization and does not disturb the integrity of the enclosure. Utility maintenance should
not require the enclosure to be opened or disturbed. (If it does, an alternative abatement
strategy is indicated.)
3.1.2 Worker Decontamination Enclosure Systems
3.1.2.1 Worker decontamination enclosure systems shall be provided at all locations
where workers will enter or exit the work area. One system at a single location for each
contained work area is preferred. These systems may consist of existing rooms outside of
the work area, if the layout is appropriate, that can be enclosed in plastic sheeting and are
accessible from the work area. When this situation does not exist, enclosure systems may
be constructed out of metal, wood or plastic support as appropriate.
r
f
3.1.2.2 Plans for construction, including materials and layout, shall be submitted as shop
drawings and approved, in writing by the Building Owner prior to work initiation.

other effective designations to permit easy location from anywhere within the work area.
They shall be secured to prevent access from uncontaminated areas and still permit
emergency exiting. These exits shall be properly sealed with polyethylene sheeting
which can be cut to permit egress if needed. These exits may be the worker
decontamination enclosure, the waste pass -out airlock and/or other alternative exits
satisfactory to fire officials.
3.1.4 Barriers and Isolation of the Work Area
3.1.4.1 The contaminated work area shall be separated from, uncontaminated 'occupied
areas of the building by the construction of air tight barriers. (Building Owner must
clearly identify all areas that will be occupied.)
3.1.4.2 Walls shall be constructed of wood or metal framing to support barriers in all
openings larger than 4'x8'.
3.1.4.3 A sheeting material (plywood, drywall) of at least 3/8" thickness shall be applied
to work side of barrier.
3.1.4.4 Cover both sides of partition with a double layer of 6 mil polyethylene sheeting

levels (which is lower) work shall immediately stop for inspection and repair of barriers.
Cleanup of surfaces outside of the work area using HEPA vacuum or wet cleaning
techniques may be necessary.
3.1.5.7 Install and initiate operation of air filtration equipment as needed to provide one
air change in the work area ever 15 minutes. (See Section 2.2.1.1) Enough exhaust air
must be vented thru a HEPA filter to maintain a lower air pressure within the enclosure
system than the outside air pressure. Openings made in the enclosure system to
accommodate these units shall be made air tight with tape and/or caulking as needed. If
Fmore than one unit is vented to the outside, they should be turned on 1 at a time,
I
checking the integrity of wall barriers for secure attachments and need for additional
reinforcements. Insure that adequate power supply is availableto satisfy the
requirements of the air filtration equipment. Air filtration equipment shall be exhausted
to the outside of the building wherever feasible. They shall not be exhausted into
occupied areas of the building. Twelve inch expansion duct shall be used to reach from
the work area to the outside when required. Careful installation, air monitoring and daily
inspections shall be done to insure that the duct does not release fibers into
uncontaminated building areas
3.1.6 Establishing Emergency Exits
3.1.6.1 Clearly identify and maintain emergency and fire exits from the work area.
3.1.7 Removing and Cleaning Fixtures
3.1.7.1 Remove, clean and enclose in polyethylene the ceiling mounted objects such as
