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 sate, together with any materials and equipment under
contract for the work, may le held for use on the work by the Owner or the
Surety on the construction bond, or another contractor, in completion of the
work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefor (ex-
cept when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed
as provided for under paragraph 17, Extra Work); 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 thereupon employ such force of men and use such
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 thereaftgr 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 com-
pleted 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
s (b) The Owner under sealed bids, after five (5) days notice published
one or more times in a newspaper having a general circulation in the county of
the 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
therefor. However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to
be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this contract, the
Contractor and/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 25 hereinabove, shall be issued. A complete itemized
statement of the contract accounts, certified to by the Engineer as being
correct, shall then be prepared and delivered to the Contractor and his Surety,
whereupon the Contractor and/or his Surety, or the owner as the case may be,
shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement, within fifteen (15)
days after the date of such Certificate of Completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to com-
plete 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;
II - 11

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
s 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 pro-
tect 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 work, and belong
to persons other than the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper Owners.
38. 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 wrought into the work. And thereupon
the Engineer shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the Contractor,
which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said
Contractor at the prices stated in the attached 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 Engineer 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.
39. WAR TERMINATION
Whenever, because of a national emergency, so declared by the President
of the United States or other lawful authority, it shall be impossible for the
CONTRACTOR to obtain all the labor, material, and equipment necessary for the
prosecution of the work with reasonable continuity, the CONTRACTOR shall notify
the OWNER. If the OWNER cannot after reasonable effort help obtain priorities
for the materials and equipment within a reasonable time, then the contract
shall be considered as terminated and the CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to
reimbursement for the necessary actual costs incurred in the prosecution of the
work, without profit.
11 - 12 040
40. BOND

engineer with such telephone communication to be made on the day of the request
of the engineer to which the contractor is taking exception. The engineer shall
reply to such written exceptions by the contractor before the completion of the
project and such reply shall be in writing. In case the contractor should appeal
from the engineer's decision, any demand for arbitration shall be filed with the
engineer and the owner in writing within ten (10) days after the date of the
engineer's final decision. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the
work,by the Owner and the acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall
be a bar to any claims by either party, except that in case of guarantees

the party whose contention is sustained, such sums as they deem proper for the
time, expense and trouble incident to the Appeal, and if the Appeal was taken
without reasonable cause, they may award damages for any delay occasioned
thereby. The arbiters shall fix their own compensation, unless otherwise pro-
vided by agreement, and shall assess the cost and charges of the arbitration
upon either or both parties. The award of the arbiters must be made in writing,

the order and time of prosecution shall be such that the work shall be substan-
tially completed as a whole and in part, in accordance with this contract, plans
and specifications and within the time of completion hereafter designated; pro-
vided, also, that when the Owner is having other work done, either by contract

or Engineer or of any employee of either or by other contractors employed by the
Owner, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strike, lockouts, fire and
unusual delays by common carrier, and unavoidable cause or causes beyond the
Contractor's control. The Contractor may apply for extension of time as justified
and provided herein in writing to the city engineer within 10 days after the act
has occurred which would tend to justify an extension of time and the engineer

an essential element of the contract, and that if the Contractor fails to
substantially complete the work by said completion date or by an extension date
if allowed, the owner may permanently withhold seventy-five dollars (75.00) for
each working day thereafter. A working day will be considered any day, except
legal holidays and Sundays, that, in the judgment of the engineer, the contractor
is able or would be able to efficiently employ more than one-half (2) of his
equipment for more than four (4) hours.
