(This page left blank intentionally)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
SCOPE OF WORK
The work to be done under the contract documents shall consist of the following:
To provide labor and material to complete work in accordance with the attached plans and specifications for
Piping and Irrigation System.
The contractor shall furnish all labor, superintendence, machinery, equipment and all materials necessary to
complete this project in accordance with contract documents.
2. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
All work covered by this contract shall be done in accordance with contract documents described in the Gen-
eral Conditions.
All bidders shall be thoroughly familiar with all of the requirements set forth on the contract documents
for the construction of this project and shall be responsible for the satisfactory completion of all work
contemplated by said contract documents.
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.
4. TIME AND ORDER FOR COMPLETION
The construction covered by the contract documents shall be fully completed within 60 (SIXTY) 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 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 progress of the work is not in accordance with the progress schedule so sub-
mitted, the City may direct the Contractor to take such action as the City deems necessary to insure comple-
tion of the project within the time specified.
5. PAYMENT
All payments due to Contractor shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the General Conditions of
the contract documents.
6. AFFIDAVITS OF BILLS PAID
The City of Lubbock reserves the right, prior to final acceptance of this project to require the Contractor
to execute an 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.
-5-
7. 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 pro-
tecting 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 provi-
sion. 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.
8. GUARANTEES
All equipment and materials incorporated in the project and all construction shall be guaranteed against de-
fective 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 whatsoever resulting in such defects, when such defects appear
within ONE year from date of final acceptance of the work as a result of defective materials or workmanship,
at no cost to the Owner (City of Lubbock).
9. PLANS FOR THE CONTRACTOR
The contractor will be furnished one set of plans and specifications, and related contract documents for his
use during construction. Plans and specifications for use during construction will only be furnished di-
rectly to the Contractor. The Contractor shall then distribute copies of plans and specifications to sup-
pliers, subcontractors or others, as required for proper prosecution of the work contemplated by the Con-
tractor.
10. PROTECTION OF THE WORK
The Contractor shall be responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, and protection of all materi-
als, supplies, machinery, equipment, tools, apparatus, accessories, facilities, and all means of construc-
tion, 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 re-
serves 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 ma-
terials 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 construc-
tion of the project contemplated by these contract documents. The City of Lubbock agrees that it will fur-
nish Contractor the location of all such underground lines and utilities of which it has knowledge. How-
ever, such fact shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities aforementioned. All such under-
ground 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 sig-
nals, 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 when damage is incurred, the damaged portion shall be immediately removed and re-
placed by Contractor at his own cost and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of barri-
cades, signs, and lights shall not cease until the date of issuance to Contractor of City's certificate of
acceptance of the project.
14. . 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 blast-
ing. 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.
15. 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.

in the.General 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
-7-
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 subroga-
tion.
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 there-
under. The inclusion of the schedule of general prevailing rate of per diem wages in these contract docu-
ments does not release the Contractor from compliance with any wage law that may be applicable. Construc-
tion 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 deduc-
tions (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.
-8-
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.

It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examination, satisfied himself as to the na-
ture and location of the work, the confirmation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of mate-
rials 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.

The Contractor agrees to employ only orderly and competent men, skillful in the performance in the type of
work required under this contract, to do the work; and agrees that whenever the Owner's Representative shall
inform him in writing that any man or men on the work, are, in his opinion, incompetent, unfaithful, or dis-
orderly, such man or men shall be discharged from the work and shall not again be employed on the work with-
out the Owner's Representative's written consent.

21. OBSERVATION AND TESTING
® The Owner or Owner's Representative shall have the right at all reasonable times to observe and test the
work. Contractor shall make necessary arrangements and provide proper facilities and access for such obser-
vation and testing at any location wherever work is in preparation or progress. Contractor shall ascertain
the scope of any observation which may be contemplated by Owner or Owner's Representative and shall give am-
ple notice as to the time each part of the work will be ready for such observation. Owner or Owner's Rep-
resentative may reject any work found to be defective or not in accordance with the contract documents, re-
gardless of the stage of its completion or the time or place of discovery of such errors and regardless of
whether owner's Observer has previously accepted the work through oversight or otherwise. If any work
should be covered without approval or consent of the Owner, it must, if requested by Owner or Owner's Repre-
sentative, be uncovered for examination at Contractor's expense. In the event that any part of the work is
® being fabricated or manufactured at a location where it is not convenient for owner or Owner's Representa-
tive to make observations of such work or require testing of said work, then in such event Owner or Owner's
Representative may require Contractor to furnish Owner or Owner's Representative certificates of inspection,
testing or approval made by persons competent to perform such tasks at the location where that part of the
work is being manufactured or fabricated. All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed
by the American Society for Testing and Materials or such other applicable organization as may be required
by law or the contract documents.

consent of the Owner or Owner's Representative, it must, if requested by the Owner or Owner's Representa-
tive, be uncovered for observation and testing at the Contractor's expense. The cost of all such inspec-
tions, tests and approvals shall be borne by the Contractor unless otherwise provided herein. Any work
which fails to meet the requirements of any such tests, inspections or approval, and any work which meets
the requirements of any such tests or approval but does not meet the requirements of the contract documents
shall be considered defective. Such defective work shall be corrected at the Contractor's expense.
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 this agreement to make such inspections,
tests, or approvals shall relieve the Contractor from his obligation to perform the work in accordance with
the requirements of the contract documents.
22. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is further 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 owners' Representative as un-
suitable or not in conformity with plans, specification and contract documents, the Contractor shall, after
receipt of written notice thereof from the Owner's Representative, forthwith remove such material and re-
build or otherwise remedy such work so that it shall be in full accordance with this contract. It is fur-
ther agreed that any remedial 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 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 in-
crease 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
-28-
case the Owner shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already done or mate-
rial already furnished or used in said work, then the owner shall recompense the Contractor for any material
or labor so used, and for any actual loss occasioned by such change, due to 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, al-
teration or addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract documents and not cov-
ered by Contractor's proposal, 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 Representa-
tive 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

menced, then the Contractor shall be paid the actual field cost of the work, plus
fifteen (15%) per cent.

graph shalt 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 Benefits, Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workmen's
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 mat-
ters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machin-
ery 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 com-
pensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other ele-
ments 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 Repre-
sentative 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 in-
sists 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 arbi-
tration as herein below provided.

intent of these contract documents as interpreted by Owner's Representative. If the Contractor finds any
discrepancies or omissions in these plans, specifications, or contract documents, he should notify the
Owners' Representative and obtain a clarification before the bids are received, and if no such request is
received by the Owner's Representative prior to the opening of bids, then it shall be considered that the
Contractor fully understands the work to be included and has provided sufficient sums in his proposal to
complete the work in accordance with these plans and specifications. It is further understood that any re-
quest for clarification must be submitted no later than five 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 comply with such order.
If, at any time, the working force of the Contractor is inadequate for securing the progress herein speci-

whole thereof in the manner and according to this agreement, the attached specifications, plans, contract
documents and requirements of Owner's Representative.

contract, either wholly or in part, nor shall any certificate or payment be considered as acceptance of de-
fective work. Contractor shall at any time requested during the progress of the work furnish the Owner or
Owner's Representative with a verifying certificate showing the Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness
in connection with the work. Before final payment is made, Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit or
otherwise, that there are no outstanding liens against Owner's premises by reason of any work under the con-

written recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained per-
centage due Contractor.

cordance with the contract documents, the Owner's Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor his
certificate of completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Owner within thirty-one (31) days to
issue a certificate of acceptance of the work to the Contractor.

fore the 31st day after the date of certificate of completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of
this agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this con-
tract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said performance by the Contractor. Neither the
certificate of acceptance nor the final payment, nor any provisions in the contract documents shall relieve
the Contractor of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required in the special condi-
tions (if any) of this contract or required in the specifications made a part of this contract.
44. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT FOR WORK
Contractor shall promptly remove from Owners' premises all materials condemned by the Owner's Representative

tractor shall at his own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other materials conforming
to the requirements of the contract. Contractor shall also bear the expense of restoring all work of other
contractors damaged by any such removal or replacement. If Contractor does not remove and replace any such
condemned work within a reasonable time after a written notice by the Owner or the Owner's Representative,
Owner may remove and replace it at Contractor's expense.
45. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT

responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for
any damage to other work resulting therefrom, which shall appear within a period of one (1) year from the
-36-
date of substantial completion. The Owner or the Owner's Representative shall give notice of observed de-
fects with reasonable promptness.

(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating possible filing of claims.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors or for materials or labor.

which will protect the Owner in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of
them.
47. TIME OF FILING CLAIMS
It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the
Contractor shall be in writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) days after the
Owner's Representative has given any directions, order or instruction to which the Contractor desires to
take exception. The Owners' Representative shall reply to such written exceptions by the Contractor and
render his final decision in writing. In case the Contractor should appeal from the decision of the Owner's
Representative, any demand for arbitration shall be filed with the Owner's Representative and the Owner in
writing within ten (10) days after the date of delivery to Contractor of the final decision of the Owner's
Representative. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the work by the owner and the acceptance by
the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any claim by either party, except where noted other-
wise in the contract documents.
48. ARBITRATION
All questions of dispute under this agreement shall be submitted to arbitration at the request of either
party to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbitrator, otherwise, there shall be three; one named
in writing by each party and the third chosen by the two arbiters selected; or if the arbiters fail to se-
lect a third within ten (10) days, he shall be chosen by the District Judge, 72nd Judicial District of
Texas. Each arbiter shall be a resident of the City of Lubbock. Should the party demanding arbitration
fail to name an arbiter within ten (10) days of the demand, his right to arbitrate shall lapse, and the de-
cision of the Owner's Representative shall be final and binding on him. Should the other party fail to
choose an arbiter within ten (10) days, the Owner's Representative shall appoint such arbiter. Should ei-
ther party refuse or neglect to supply the arbiters with any papers or information demanded in writing, the
arbiters are empowered by both parties to take Ex Parte Proceedings.
The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision of any two shall be binding on both parties to the
contract, unless either or both parties shall appeal within ten (10) days from date of the award by the ar-
biters, and it is hereby agreed that each party shall have the right of appeal and all proceedings shall be
according to and governed by Arbitration Statutes of Texas, being Article 224, et seq., Vernon's Annotated
Civil Statutes. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITERS UPON ANY QUESTION SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS CONTRACT
SHALL BE A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO ANY RIGHT OF LEGAL ACTION.
-37-
The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized to award the party whose contention is sus-
tained, 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 ar-
biters shall fix their own compensation, unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the costs
and charges of the arbitration upon either or both parties. The award of the arbiters must be made in writ-
ing and shall not be open to objection on account of the form of proceedings or award. _.
49. ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
® In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written
notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the or-
ders 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 sup-
plies 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 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 com-
pleted 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 newspa-
per 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 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
w
30 days after the date of certificate of completion.
-38-
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 shalt 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
sun 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 machin-
ery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than
the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
50. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply
with said terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may
suspend or wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and equipment, and all
materials on the ground that have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorpo-
rated 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 Con-
tractor 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 Con-
tractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which cannot be utilized. The Owner's Representative
shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting from the above estimate all
previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this
Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) days
after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance shown by said final statement as due the
Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.
51. BONDS
The successful bidder 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 statu-
tory 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 fur-
ther agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are so furnished.
52. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special con-
ditions conflict with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event the
special conditions shall control.
-39-
53. LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss or damage to the Contractor arising out of the nature of the
work to be done, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstance and the prosecution
of the same, or from unusual obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the
.-. work, shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at his own cost and expense.
54. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent contractor with full, complete and exclusive power and au-
thority 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 ob-
serve 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.
55. 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 toots, 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 of dispute owner may remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.
