observation which may be contemplated by Owner or Owner's Representative and shall give ample notice as to

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.
DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is expressly agreed that if the work or any part thereof, or any material brought on the site of the work for use in
the work or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the Owner or Owner's Representative as unsuitable or not
in conformity with plans, specifications and/or contract documents, the Contractor shall, after receipt of written
notice thereof from the Owner's Representative, forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy
such work so that it shall be in full accordance with the contract documents. It is further agreed that any remedial
action contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be Contractor's expense.
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,
alteration or addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract documents and not covered
by Contractor's bid, except as provided under Changes and Alterations herein.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra work under the direction of the Owner's Representative
when presented with a written work order signed by the Owner's Representative; subject, however, to the right of
the Contractor to require written confirmation of such extra work order by the Owner. It is also agreed that the
compensation to be paid to the Contractor for performing said extra work shall be determined by the following
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.
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under Method (C)(1), then the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all workmen, such as foremen,
timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for
the time actually employed or used on such extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred,
together with all expenses incurred directly on account of such extra work, including Social Security, Old Age
5
Benefits, Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workers' Compensation and all other
insurances as may be required by law or ordinances or directed by the Owner or Owner's Representative, or by
them agreed to. Owner's Representative may direct the form in which accounts of the actual field cost shall be
kept and records of these accounts shall be made available to the Owner's Representative. The Owner's
Representative may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the
type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these matters shall be determined by the
Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be
determined by using 100%, unless otherwise specified, of the latest Schedule of Equipment and Ownership
Expenses adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practical, the terms and prices for
the use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the written extra work order. The fifteen percent
(16%) of the actual field cost to be paid to Contractor shall cover and compensate Contractor for its profit,
overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not
embraced within the actual field cost as herein defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office
must be maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall
be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by Owner's Representative. In case
any orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra work for which Contractor should receive
compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, Contractor shall prior to commencement of such extra
work, make written request to the Owner's Representative for a written order authorizing such extra work. Should
a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute extra work or as to the payment therefore, and
the Owner's Representative insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the work after making
written request for written order and shall keep adequate and accurate account of the actual field cost thereof, as
provided under Method (C)(1). If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative prior to the commencement
any extra work, any claim for payment due to alleged extra work shall be deemed waived.
26. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of the contract documents that all work described in the bid, the
specifications, plans and other contract documents, is to be done for the prices quoted by the Contractor and that
such price shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the work in accordance with the intent of these
contract documents as interpreted by Owner's Representative. Notices of any discrepancies or omissions in these
plans, specifications, or contract documents, shall be given to the Owners' Representative and a clarification
obtained before the bids are received, and if no such notice is received by the Owner's Representative prior to the
opening of bids, then it shall be deemed that the Contractor fully understands the work to be included and has
provided sufficient sums in its bid to complete the work in accordance with these plans and specifications. If
Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative prior to bidding of any discrepancies or omissions, then it shall
be deemed for all purposes that the plans and specifications are sufficient and adequate for completion of the
project. It is further agreed that any request for clarification must be submitted no later than five (6) calendar days
prior to the opening of bids.
26. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If at any time the methods or equipment used by the Contractor are found to be inadequate to secure the quality of
work with the rate of progress required under this contract, the Owner or Owner's Representative may order the
Contractor in writing to increase their safety or improve their character and efficiency and the Contractor shall

that the acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any and all claims of the Contractor, and constitute a waiver of the right to assert any claim against Owner, Owner's agents and employees and
Owner's Representative, by Contractor.
48. NON-COMPLIANCE AND/OR ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should (1) abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or (2) if the Contractor fails to comply with the
written orders of the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, then the Surety
on the bond shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work and a copy of said notice shall be
delivered to the Contractor. In the event a bond is not required by law, or otherwise obtained by the Contractor, no —
further notice of such non-compliance to Contractor shall be required.
After receiving said notice of abandonment or non-compliance, the Contractor shall not remove from the work any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same; together with any materials and
equipment under the contract for work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the
Contractor, or another contractor, in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or
credit therefore (except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for —
under paragraph 24 of this contract); it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will
ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
In the event the Contractor, or Surety, whichever is applicable, should fail to commence compliance with the notice
hereinbefore provided within ten (10) calendar days after service of such notice, and/or shall fail to proceed with
diligence to complete the project as contemplated and in compliance with all terms and provisions of the contract
documents, then the Owner may exercise any and all remedies available to it pursuant to law, contract, equity or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, providing for completion of the work in either of the following elective
manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of machinery, equipment, tools, materials and
supplies as said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor,
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so charged shall
be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time
become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than
the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the
Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the
sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by said
Contractor, then the Contractor and/or Its Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the Owner; or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice published as required by law, at least twice in a newspaper
having a general circulation in the County of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of
the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case of —
any increase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost
under this contract, such increase shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain
bound therefore. Should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than that which
18
F
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 Owners 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 Owners Representative as being correct shall then be prepared and delivered to
Contractor and his Surety, if applicable, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be,
shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement within 30 days after the date of certification of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would
have been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this contract,
or when the Contractor and/or his Surety, if applicable, shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the
Owner, then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over
to the Contractor and/or his Surety, if applicable. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price,
and the Contractor and/or his Surety, if applicable, fail to pay the amount due the Owner within the time
designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of
the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the
Contractor and his Surety, if applicable, at the respective addresses designated in this contract; provided,
however, that actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of
such notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and his Surety, if applicable, subject only to
the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) calendar days from the
date of said notice the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net
sum derived from such sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety, if applicable. Such sale may be made at
either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the jobsite and belong to persons other than
the Contractor or his Surety, if applicable, to their proper owners.
The remedies provided to Owner by law, equity, contract, or otherwise, shall be cumulative, to the extent permitted
by law. It is expressly agreed and understood that the exercise by Owner of the remedies provided in this
paragraph shall not constitute an election of remedies on the part of Owner, and Owner, irrespective of its exercise
of remedies hereunder, shall be entitled to exercise concurrently or otherwise, any and all other remedies
available to it, by law, equity, contract or otherwise, including but not limited to, liquidated damages, as provided in
paragraph 34, hereinabove set forth.
l:
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 fumish 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

B. Excavation
Perform all excavation work required in connection with the installation of the work
under this Division. After the electrical work has been installed, tested and approved,
City of Lubbock, Water Reclamation Plant Blower Room
16300 - 3
backfill all excavations with suitable material under the direction of the Architect.
Include the cutting of all sidewalks, streets and other pavement and repairing the
r' openings in them to return to the surface to approximately its original condition.
Perform all excavations of every description of whatever substances encountered and to
the depths required for installation of the work under this Division.
During excavation, stack material suitable for backfilling in an orderly manner a
sufficient distance from the banks of the trenches to prevent slides or cave-ins. Remove
all excavated material not required or suitable for backfill, or waste as directed. Control
grading to prevent surface water from flowing into excavations and remove any water
accumulating therein by pumping.
Use open cut grading and make trenches of the necessary width for proper installation of
the lines with banks as nearly vertical as possible.
r
Grade the bottom of trenches accurately to provide uniform bearing and support for
{
conduit or duct on undisturbed soil at every point along its entire length.
Except at locations where excavation of rock from the bottoms of trenches is required,
1,
take care not to excavate below the depths required. Where rock excavation is required,
remove the rock to minimum overdepth of 4 inches below the trench depths specified.
Backfill the overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation to the proper
level with 3/4 inch crushed rock or the equivalent in coarse gravel prior to the installation
`
of conduit or ducts. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of properly
supporting conduits or ducts is encountered in the trench bottom, remove such soil to a
r'
depth required and backfill the trench to trench bottom grade with 3/4 inch crushed rock
or coarse gravel or other suitable material.
C. Backfilling
Carefully backfill trenches with earth, sandy clay, sand and gravel, soft shale or other
approved material free from large clods of earth or stone, deposited in thoroughly and
carefully rammed 6-inch layers. Do not use blasted rock, broken concrete or pavement,
or large boulders as backfill material. Settling the backfill with water will be permissible
and will be requirement when so directed. Re -open any trenches improperly filled or
where settlement occurs to the depth required for proper compaction, then refill, mound
over and smooth off.
Backfill open trenches across roadways or other areas to be paved as specified above
except that the entire depth of trench shall be backfilled in 6-inch layers, each layer
moistened and compacted to a density of not less than 95% Standard Proctor in such
manner as to permit the rolling and compaction of the filled trench together with the
adjoining earth to provide the required bearing value and permit paving of the area
immediately after backfilling is completed. Along all other portions of the trenches,
grade the ground to a reasonable uniformity and leave the mounding over the trenches in
a uniform and neat condition.
D. Opening and Closing Pavement
e Where excavation requires the opening of existing walks, streets, drives or other existing
` pavement, including "black topping," cut the pavement as required. Hold the size of the
cut to a minimum consistent with the work to be accomplished. After the installation of
the new work is completed and the excavation has been backfilled, patch the paving using
City of Lubbock, Water Reclamation Plant Blower Room
7
M% Z1a!
materials to match those cut out. Take care that the patches are level with the original
surfaces and thoroughly bond with them.
E. Installation of Underground Ducts
Use plastic electrical ducts, installed with concrete encasement, with a minimum of 3" of
concrete between ducts and earth, and with 2 inches of concrete between adjacent ducts.
Concrete shall contain a red dye additive to give a distinctive red color when concrete is
cured. Provide at least 30 inches of cover from top of concrete encasement to finished
grade. Install with uniform slope for drainage, with no low pockets to collect water.
Build up duct banks completely in the trench before any concrete is poured, using
factory -fabricated plastic conduit spacers in staggered configuration to provide the proper
horizontal and vertical spacings, and securing the entire assembly with heavy twine or
cord to insure rigidity during pouring. Do not use metal for this purpose. Assemble
conduits with staggered adjacent couplings so that no two couplings will lie in the same
transverse plane, in a vertical direction. Use solvent cement as directed by the duct
manufacturer in making up all joints.
Fabricate duct runs with standard factory -made fittings, elbows and accessories. Make all
changes of direction, horizontal or vertical, with long sweep bends having a minimum
radius of 25 feet, except that manufactured bends at or near the ends of the runs may be
used on short runs of 100 feet or less. Make long sweep bends with one or more curved
or straight sections of duct. Manufactured bends, where permitted, shall have a minimum
radius of 10 times the nominal duct diameter. Where manufactured ducts of greater than
a 30 degree angle are required, use rigid hot dipped galvanized steel conduit bends.
During construction, protect partially completed duct lines from entrance of dirt and
debris by means of suitable factory -made duct plugs. After completion of installation,
seal all ends of spare ducts with factory made duct plugs.
Where ducts turn up through floor slabs or above grade change from plastic duct to rigid
galvanized steel conduit below grade, using suitable factory adapters. At the point of
change of materials, extend the concrete envelope to enclose at least 2 feet of steel
conduit. Wrap all steel conduits and fittings buried in earth as specified elsewhere herein,
or use PVC coated steel conduits.
Install the concrete envelope for a given duct run in one pour where possible. Use
concrete of 3000 psi 28 day compressive strength. In pouring concrete, do not allow
heavy masses of concrete to fall on ducts. Direct flow of concrete down sides of
assembly to bottom, forcing it to flow to center of bank and then to rise up in middle,
filling all spaces uniformly. Spade concrete liberally and carefully with a long, flat
slicing bar between vertical rows to eliminate voids. Weight or brace the duct bank
assembly if necessary, to prevent the assembly from floating. Because of the fact that
plastic conduits may expand considerably during construction, each run and its concrete
envelope shall be installed starting at one end and proceeding toward the other with any
necessary adjustments to length being made at the end toward which the work is
progressing.
After ducts are installed, complete with envelope, and before pulling any cable, pull a
mandrel through every duct to check for alignment and clear passage. Use an iron -shod
mandrel with a diameter of 1/4 inch less than the nominal size of the duct and a length
equal to the duct diameter. Mandrel shall have a leather or rubber gasket slightly larger
than the duct hole. After testing the ducts with the mandrel, pull a stiff -bristled brush
through each duct until
City of Lubbock, Water Reclamation Plant Blower Room
F
16300 - 5
Fit is clear of all particles of earth, sand or gravel; then install duct plugs immediately.
F. Installation of Underground Steel Conduit
All steel conduit in earth shall be rigid galvanized steel conduit. Wrap such conduit with
3M Company 0.020 inch thick No. 51 "scotchrap" vinyl plastic tape, half lapped to give a
double thickness wrap. Remove all oil, grease and dirt from conduit with a 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 side of joints. ,
G. Installation of PVC coated Conduits
During installation, visually examine the conduit for cuts. Patch these areas with a paste
containing a PVC solvent obtained from the conduit manufacturer. The patch shall be
'built up to the original thickness of the coating and feathered out on all side of the
damaged area a minimum of 1/2 inch to provide a complete bonded seal over the
damaged area.
H. 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.
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.
Connections: Use lengths of flexible metal conduit, not less than 12" long at final
C 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 with in 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.
City of Lubbock, Water Reclamation Plant Blower Room
16300 - 6
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.
Protection of Raceways: Seal ends of all raceways with blank discs ("pennies"), push
pennies or other approved closures 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.
I. Conduit Supports
Support spacing: Use minimum spacing as directed by National Electrical Code, but
space hangers more closely where required by conditions.
Individual Conduits: Support conduits running vertically or horizontally with galvanized
malleable iron one hole clamps. Carry individually supported horizontal conduits 1-1/4"
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 1-114" 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 joints
(where present) or support them on threaded hanger rods with clips. Do not use any wire
to support conduits or to attach conduits to supporting members. Locate conduits a
sufficient distance above the ceiling to permit removal of the ceiling panels. Locate them
so as not to hinder access to mechanical and electrical equipment through the ceiling
panels.
J. 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 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 tile wall cover, plaster cover, or finishing plate, except where
construction will not permit or the device requires a larger box.
Boxes for Exposed Work: Cast metal boxes.
Boxes for Outdoors: Cast metal boxes with gasketed covers.
Installation of Pull and Junction Boxes: —
