GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

(This page left blank intentionally)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1. SCOPE OF WORK
The work to be done under the contract documents shall consist of the following:
Police Academy electrical renovation.
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 45 (FORTY-FIVE) 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.
-b-
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 shalt, 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
tights 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.
^ 16. INSURANCE
The Contractor shall not commence work under this contract until he has obtained all insurance as required
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.
19. PROVISIONS CONCERNING ESCALATOR CLAUSES
Proposals submitted containing any conditions which provide for changes in the stated bid price due to in-
creases or decreases in the cost of materials, labor or other items required for the project will be re-
jected and returned to the bidder without being considered.

or words of like import are used, it shall be understood that the direction, requirement, permission, order,
designation or prescription of the Owner's Representative is intended; and similarly, the words "Approved,"

to the Owner's Representative.
.. Whenever in the Specifications or drawings accompanying this agreement, the terms of description of various
qualities relative to finish, workmanship, or other qualities of similar kind which cannot, from their na-
ture, be specifically and clearly described and specified, but are necessarily described in general terms,
the fulfillment of which must depend on individual judgment, then, in all such cases, any question of the
fulfillment of said Specifications shall be decided by the Owner's Representative, and said work shall be
done in accordance with his interpretations of the meaning of the words, terms, or clauses defining the
character of the work.
6. SUBCONTRACTOR
The term Subcontractor, as employed herein, includes only those having a direct contract with the Contractor
for performance of work on the project contemplated by these contract documents. Owner shall have no re-
sponsibility to any Subcontractor employed by Contractor for performance of work on the project contemplated
by these contract documents, but said Subcontractors will look exclusively to Contractor for any payments
., due Subcontractor.
-24-
7. WRITTEN NOTICE
Written notice shall be deemed to have been duly served if delivered in person to the individual or to a
member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for whom it is intended, or if delivered at or sent
certified mail to the last business address known to him who gives the notice.
8. WORK
Unless otherwise stipulated, the Contractor shall provide and pay for all materials, supplies, machinery,
equipment, tools, superintendence, labor, insurance, and all water, light, power, fuel, transportation and
all other facilities necessary for the execution and completion of the work covered by the contract docu-
ments. Unless otherwise specified, all materials shall be new and both workmanship and materials shalt be
of a good quality. The Contractor shall, if required, furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and
quality of materials. Materials or work described in words which so applied have well known, technical or
trade meaning shall be held to refer such recognized standards.
All work shalt be done and all materials furnished in strict conformity with the contract documents.
9. SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED
The term "Substantially Completed" is meant that the structure or project contemplated by the contract docu-
ments has been made suitable for use or occupancy or the facility is in a condition to serve its intended
purpose, but still may require minor miscellaneous work and adjustment.
10. LAYOUT
Except as specifically provided herein, the Contractor shall be responsible for laying out all work and
shall accomplish this work in a manner acceptable to the Owner's Representative. The Owner's Representative
will check the Contractor's layout of all major structures and any other layout work done by the Contractor
at Contractor's request, but this check does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of correctly
locating all work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.
11. KEEPING OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS ACCESSIBLE
The Contractor shall be furnished with one copies of all Plans, Profiles and Specifications without expense
to him and he shall keep one copy of same consistently accessible on the job site.
12. RIGHT OF ENTRY
The Owner's Representative may make periodic visits to the site to observe the progress of quality of the
executed work and to determine, in general, if the work is proceeding in accordance with the contract docu-
ments. He will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections to check the quality or
quantity of the work, nor will he be responsible for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences
or procedures, or the safety precautions incident thereto. His efforts will be directed towards providing
assurances for the Owner that the completed project will conform to the requirements of the contract docu-
ments, but he will not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to perform the work in accordance with
the Contract Documents. On the basis of his on -site observations, he will keep the Owner informed of the
progress of the work and will endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the work of
the Contractor.
-25-
13. LINES AND GRADES
All lines and grades shall be furnished by the Owner's Representative whenever necessary for the commence-
ment of the work contemplated by these contract documents or the completion of the work contemplated by
these contract documents. Whenever necessary, Contractor shall suspend his work in order to permit Owner's
Representative to comply with this requirement, but such suspension will be as brief as practical and Con-
tractor shall be allowed no extra compensation therefore. The Contractor shall give the Owner's Repre-
sentative ample notice of the time and place where lines and grades will be needed. All stakes, marks,
etc., shall be carefully preserved by the Contractor, and in case of careless destruction or removal by him,
his Subcontractors, or his employees, such stakes, marks, etc., shall be replaced by the Owner's Representa-
tive at Contractor's expense.
.— 14. OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE'S AUTHORITY AND DUTY
Unless otherwise specified, it is mutually agreed between the parties to this Agreement that the Owner's
Representative shall review all work included herein. He has the authority to stop the work whenever such
stoppage may be necessary to insure the proper execution of the contract. In order to permit delays and
disputes and to discourage litigation, it is further agreed that the Owner's Representative shall, in all
cases, determine the amounts and quantities of the several kinds of work which are to be paid for under this
contract. He shall determine all questions in relation to said work and the construction thereof, and
shall, in all cases, decide every question which may arise relative to the execution of this contract on the
part of said Contractor. The Owner's Representative's estimates and findings shalt be conditions precedent
to the right of the parties hereto to arbitration or to any action on the contract, and to any rights of the
Contractor to receive any money under this contract; provided, however, that should Owner's Representative
render any decision or give any direction, which in the opinion of either party hereto, is not in accordance
with the meaning and intent of this contract, either party may file with said Owner's Representative within
' 30 days his written objection to the decision or direction so rendered, and by such action may reserve the
right to submit the questions so raised to arbitration as hereinafter provided. It is the intent of this
Agreement that there shall be no delay in the execution of the work, therefore, written decisions or direc-
tion of the Owner's Representative as rendered shall be promptly carried out, and any claim arising there-
from shalt be thereafter adjusted to arbitration as hereinafter provided.
The Owner's Representative shall, within a reasonable time, render and deliver to both the Owner and the
Contractor a written decision on all claims of the parties hereto and on all questions which may arise rela-
tive to the execution of the work or the interpretation of the contract, specifications and plans. Should
the Owner's Representative fail to make such decision within a reasonable time, an appeal to arbitration may
be taken as if his decision had been rendered against the party appealing.
15. SUPERINTENDENCE AND INSPECTION
It is agreed by the Contractor that the Owner's Representative shall be and is hereby authorized to appoint
from time to time such subordinate engineers, supervisors, or inspectors as the said Owner's Representative
may deem proper to inspect the materials furnished and the work done under this Agreement, and to see that
said material is furnished and said work is done in accordance with the specifications therefore. The Con-
tractor shall furnish all reasonable aid and assistance required by the subordinate engineers, supervisors
or inspectors for the proper inspection and examination of the work. The Contractor shall regard and obey
^` the directions and instructions of any subordinate engineers, supervisors or inspectors so appointed, when
such directions and instructions are consistent with the obligations of this Agreement and accompanying
plans and specifications provided, however, should the Contractor object to any orders by any subordinate
engineer, supervisor or inspector, the Contractor may within six (6) days make written appeal to the Owner's
Representative for his decision.
-26-
16. CONTRACTOR'S DUTY AND SUPERINTENDENCE
The Contractor shall give personal attention to the faithful prosecution and completion of this contract and
shall keep on the work, during its progress, a competent superintendent and any necessary assistants, all
satisfactory to Owner's Representative. The superintendent shall represent the Contractor in his absence
and all directions given to him shall be binding as if given to the Contractor. Adequate supervision by
competent and reasonable representatives of the Contractor is essential to the proper performance of the
work and lack of such supervision shall be grounds for suspending operations of the Contractor.
The work, from its commencement to completion, shall be under the exclusive charge and control of the Con-
tractor and all risk in connection therewith shall be borne by the Contractor.
The Owner or Owner's Representatives will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Contractor, or
any subcontractors, or any of his agents or employees, or any other persons performing any of the work.
17. CONTRACTOR'S UNDERSTANDING
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examination, satisfied himself as to the na-
ture and location of the work, the confirmation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of mate -
Hats 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, shalt effect or modify any of the terms or
obligations herein contained.
18. CHARACTER OF WORKMEN
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 shalt
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.
19. CONSTRUCTION PLANT
The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment, machinery and materials necessary in the prosecu-
tion and completion of this contract where it is not otherwise specifically provided that Owner shall fur-
nish same, and it is also understood that Owner shall not be held responsible for the care, preservation,
conservation, or protection of any materials, tools, equipment or machinery or any part of the work until it
is finally completed and accepted.
The building of structures for the housing of men or equipment will be permitted only at such places as the
Owner's Representative shall direct, and the sanitary conditions of the grounds in or about such structure
shall at all times be maintained in a manner satisfactory to the Owner's Representative.
20. SANITATION
Necessary sanitary conveniences for the use of laborers on the work site, properly secluded from public ob-
servation, shall be constructed and maintained by the Contractor in such manner and at such points as shall
be approved by the Owner's Representative and their use shall be strictly enforced.
-27-
p•-
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 -
pie 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.
If any work which is required to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered up without written approval or
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

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
Method (C) - if neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed upon before the extra work is com-
menced, then the Contractor shall be paid the actual field cost of the work, plus
fifteen (15%) per cent.
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this para-
graph 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 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.

25. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of this contract that all work described in the proposal, 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. 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
r- Contractor fully understands the work to be included and has provided sufficient suns 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-
fied, the Contractor shall, if so ordered in writing, increase his force or equipment, or both, to such an
.., extent as to give reasonable assurance of compliance with the schedule of progress.

r in Construction" of Associated General Contractors of America, except where incompatible with federal, state

nify and save harmless the Owner and all of its officers, agents and employees from all suits, actions, or
claims of any character whatsoever, brought for or on account of any injuries or damages received or sus-

any subcontractor, their agents or employees, in the execution and supervision of said contract, and the
project which is the subject matter of this contract, on account of the failure of Contractor or any subcon-
tractor to provide necessary barricades, warning lights, or signs and will be required to pay any judgment
with costs which may be obtained against the Owner or any of its officers, agents, or employees including
attorney's fees.
The safety precautions taken shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor, in his sole discretion as
an Independent Contractor; inclusion of this paragraph in the Agreement, as well as any notice which may be
given by the Owners or the Owner's Representative concerning omissions under this paragraph as the work pro-
gresses, are intended as reminders to the Contractor of his duty and shall not be construed as any assump-
tion of duty to supervise safety precautions by either the Contractor or any of his subcontractors.

33. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
It is hereby understood and mutually agreed by and between the Contractor and the Owner, that the date of
beginning and time for completion as specified in the contract of work to be done hereunder are essential
conditions of this contract; and it is further mutually understood and agreed that the work embraced in this
contract shall be commenced on a date to be specified in the Notice to Proceed.
If the Contractor should neglect, fail, or refuse to complete the work within the time herein specified, or
any proper extension thereof granted by the Owner, then the Contractor does hereby agree as part of the con-
sideration for the awarding of this contract, the Owner may withhold permanently from Contractor's total
compensation, the sum of $100.00 (ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS) PER DAY, not as a penalty, but as Liquidated damages
-33-
for the breach of the contract as herein set forth for each and every calendar day that the Contractor shall
be in default after the time stipulated for completing the work.
It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the com-
pletion of the work described herein is reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consid-
eration the average climatic change and conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this local-
ity.
The amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner because of the
impractica-bility and extreme difficulty in fixing and ascertaining actual damages the Owner would in such event sus-
tain, and the amount is agreed to be damages the Owner would sustain and shall be retained by the Owner from
current periodical estimates for payments or from final payment.
r--
It is further agreed and understood between the Contractor and Owner that time is of the essence of this
contract.
34. TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION
It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Con-
tractor shall be allowed to prosecute his work at such time and sessions, in such order of precedence, and
in such manner as shall be most conductive to economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and
time of prosecution shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in
accordance with this contact, the plans and specifications, and within the time of completion designated in
the proposals; provided, also, that when the owner is having other work done, either by contract or by his
own force, the Owner's Representative may direct the time and manner of constructing work done under this
contract so that conflicts will be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the
Owner shall be harmonized.
The Contractor shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Owner's Representative,
schedules which shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to carry on the work, with dates at
which the Contractor will start the several parts of the work and estimated dates of completion of the sev-
eral parts.
35. EXTENSION OF TIME
The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his proposal in full recognition of the time required for the
completion of this project, taking into consideration the average climatic range and industrial conditions
prevailing in this locality, and has considered the liquidated damage provisions of paragraph 33 hereinabove
set forth and that he shall not be entitled to, nor will he request, an extension of time on this contract,
except when his work has been delayed by an act or neglect of the Owner, Owner's Representative, employees
of the Owner or other contractors employed by the owner, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strike,
walk -outs, acts of God or the public enemy, fire or flood. The Contractor may apply in writing for an ex-
tension of time, submitting therewith all written justification as may be required by Owner's Representative
for such an extension as requested by Contractor. The Owner's Representative within ten (10) days after re-
ceipt of a written request for an extension of time by the Contractor supported by all requested docu-
mentation shall then submit such written request to the City Council of the City of Lubbock for their con-
sideration. Should the Contractor disagree with the action of City Council on granting an extension of
time, such disagreement shall be settled by arbitration as hereinafter provided.
36. HINDRANCE AND DELAYS
In executing the contract agreement, the Contractor agrees that in undertaking to complete the work within
the time herein fixed, he has taken into consideration and made allowances for all hindrances and delays in-
cident to such work, whether growing out of delays in securing material or workmen or otherwise. No charge
-34-
shall be made by the Contractor for hindrance or delays from any cause during the progress of any part of
the work embraced in this contract except where the work is stopped by order of the Owner or Owner's
Representative for the Owner's convenience, in which event, such expense as in the judgment of the Owner's
Representative that is caused by such stoppage shall be paid by Owner to Contractor.
37. QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS
No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured or computed length,
area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided.
In the event this contract is let on a unit price basis, then Owner and Contractor agree that this contract,
including the specifications, plans and other contract documents are intended to show clearly all work to be
done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown for the various
classes of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract, they are approximate and are to
be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing their proposals of-
fered for the work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and the materials
to be furnished under this contract may differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis for
payment under this contract is the unit price method, payment shall be for the actual amount of work done
and materials furnished on the project.
38. PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY
The Contractor shall take proper means to protect the adjacent or adjoining property or properties in any
way encountered, which may be injured or seriously affected by any process of construction to be undertaken
under this agreement, from any damage or injury by reason of said process of construction; and he shall be
liable for any and all claims for such damage on account of his failure to fully protect all adjacent
property. The Contractor agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Owner against any claim or claims
for damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, arising or growing out of the perfor-
mance of this contract, but such indemnity shall not apply to any claim of any kind arising out of the exis-
tence or character of the work.
39. PRICE FOR WORK
In consideration of the furnishing of all necessary labor, equipment and material and the completion of all
work by the Contractor, and on the delivery of all materials embraced in this contract in full conformity
with the specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the price
set forth in the proposal attached hereto, which has been made a part of this contract, and the Contractor
hereby agrees to receive such price in full for furnishing all materials and all labor required for the
aforesaid work, also, for all expenses incurred by him and for well and truly performing the same and the
whole thereof in the manner and according to this agreement, the attached specifications, plans, contract
documents and requirements of Owner's Representative.
40. PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the
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-
tract. Acceptance by Contractor of final payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of all
claims against Owner which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.
-35-
41. PARTIAL PAYMENTS
^ On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an applica-
tion for partial payment. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment and the
progress of the work made by the Contractor and if found to be in order shall prepare a certificate for
par-tial payment showing as completely as practical the total value of the work done by the Contractor up to and
including the last day of the preceding month; said statement shall also include the value of all sound ma-
terials delivered on site of the work that are to be fabricated into the work.
The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the fifteenth day of the current month the total amount
of the Owner's Representative's Certificate of Partial Payment, less 5% of the amount thereof, which 5%
shall be retained until final payment, and further, less all previous payments and all further sums that may
be retained by Owner under the terms of this agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole
work be near to completion, and this fact is certified to by Owner's Representative and some unexpected and
some unusual delay occurs due to no fault or negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Owner may upon
il..-.
written recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained per-
centage due Contractor.
42. FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
Within thirty-one (31) days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that
the work has been completed or substantially completed, the Owner's Representative and the Owner shall in-
spect the work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in ac-
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.
43. FINAL PAYMENT
Upon the issuance of the certificate of completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final
measurement and prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under
the terms of the agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay to the Contractor on or be-
^
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
on account of failure to conform to the contract, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and Con-
tracton 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
Neither the final payment nor certificate nor any provision in this contract shall relieve the Contractor of
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.
46. PAYMENT WITHHELD
The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any
certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied.
(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.
(d) Damage to another contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, or the Contractor provides a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner,
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 shalt 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
r-^ 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, toots, 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 fait 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, toots, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so charged
shalt 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 taw, 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

In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which
would have been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this
contract, or when the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the
Owner, then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be
turned over to the Contractor and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract
price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the Owner within the time designated
hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the
work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the
Contractor and his Surety at the respective addresses designated in this contract; provided, however, that
actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of
such notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and his Surety subject only to the
duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date
of said notice the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net
sum derived from such sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety. Such sale may be made at either
public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any machin-
ery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than

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
