and provide proper facilities and access for such observation 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
C ner's Representative and shall give ample notice as to the time each part of

.:may reject any .pork 4found to be defective or not in accordance with the con -
I
tract.documents, regardless 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 Representative be uncovered for examination at Contractor's
expense. In the event that any part of the work is being fabricated or manu-
.factured at a location where it is not convenient for Owner or Owner's Representa-
tive go make observations of such work or require testing of said work, then
in such event Owner or Owner's Representative may require Contractor to fur-
nish 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 Repre-
sentative, it must, if requested by the Owner or Owner's Representative, be
uncovered for observation and testing at the Contractor's expense. The cost
of all such inspections, 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 inspec-
tions, 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
cork 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 Owner's Representative as unsuitable or not in
conformity with plans, specifications and contract documents, the Contractor
shall, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Owner's Representative,
forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such work so
that it shall be in full accordance with this contract. It is further agreed
that any remedial action contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be at
Contractor's expense.
23. CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS
.'he Contractor further agrees that the Owner may make such changes and
alterations as the Owner may see fit, 'n the line, grade, form, dimensions,
-•fans 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 antici-
pated profits on the work that may be dispensed with. If they increase the
amount of work, and the increased work can fairly be classified under the
specifications, such increase shall be paid according to the quantity actually
done and at the unit price established for such work under this contract;
otherwise such additional work shall be paid for as provided under Extra Work.

any work already done or material already furnished or used in said ;cork, 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 in-

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 Repre-
sentative to be done by the Contractor to accomplish any change, alteration or
addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract '
documents and not covered by Contractor's 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 Representative when presented with a written work
order signed by the Owner's Representative, subject, however, to the right of
the Contractor to require written confirmation of such extra work order by the
Owner. It is also agreed that the compensation to be paid to the Contractor
for performing said extra work shall be determined by one or more of the
following methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) or 'riethod (B) be agreed upon before
the extra work is commenced, 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 n_rovisions of this paragraph shall apply and the ":actual field cost"
is hereby defined to include the cost of all workmen, such as foremen, time-
keepers, mechanics and laborers, and 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 Lia-
bility 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
=orm in which accounts or the actual field cost shall be kept and records oz

the method of doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and equipment
to be used; otherwise, these matters shall be determined by the Contractor.

ment 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 per cent (15%) of the actual field cost to be paid to
Contractor shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general
superintendence, and field office e:pense, and all other elements of cost and
expense not embraced within the actual field cost as herein defined, save that
where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office must be maintained primarily on
account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same
shall be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in
writing by the 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 Representative for a written order authorizing such
extra work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not
constitute extra work, or as to the payment therefor, and the Owner's Repre-
sentative insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the
work after making written request for written order and shall keep adequate
and accurate account of the actual field cost thereof, as provided under
Method (C). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to submit the
ratter of payment to arbitration as herein below provided.

cordance 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
Owner's 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 under-
stands the work to be included and has provided sufficient sums in his pro-
posal to complete the work in accordance with these plans and specifications.

no iater than five days prior to the opening of bids.

efficiency and the Contractor shall comply with such order.

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
offered 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.

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,

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 performance of this contract, but such indemnity shall not

Owner's Representative.

work. Contractor shall at any time requested during the progress of the work
furnish the Goner or Owner's Representative with a verifying certificate
showing the Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the
.cork. Before final payment is made, Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit
or otherwise, that there are no outstanding liens against Owner's premises by

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 written recommendation of Owner's Representative
pay reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage due Contractor.
42. FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE

Representative written notice that the work has been completed or substantially

pleted in accordance with the contract documents, the Owner's Representative

completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of this agreement,
^rovided lie has fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of
this contract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said per-
`ormance by the Contractor. Neither the certificate of acceptancenorthe
final payment, nor anv provisions in the contract documents shall relieve the
Contractor of t:1e obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be
M
required in the special conditions (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 Owner's premises all materials con-
demned by the Owner's Representative on account of failure to conform to the
contract, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and Contractor
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 Con-
tractor'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 date of substantial completion. The Owner or the
Owner's Representative shall give notice of observed defects with reasonable
promptness.
46. PAYMENT WITHHELD

or nullify the whole or part of any certificate to such extent as may be
necessary to protect himself from loss on account of:

of claims.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors
or for material or labor.

tration 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

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 orders 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 supplies as said Owner may deem necessary
to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery,
equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and the
expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such
:Honeys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time become due to
the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such
expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under this
contract, if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then said
Contractor shall receive the difference. in case such expense is greater
than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the
same had been completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor and/or
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 newspaper having a general circulation in the
County of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion
of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are
provided in this contract. In case of any increase in cost to the Owner
under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under
this contract, such increase shall be charged to the Contractor and the
Surety shall be and remain bound therefore. 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, -he Con-
tractor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
z
'When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Con-
tractor 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 be the 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 31 days after the date of
certificate of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to com-
plete the work is less than that-aJhich 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, equip-
ment, 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, pools, 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 nay elect. The Owner
shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies
which remain on the jobsite and belong to persons other than the Con-
tractor 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 incorporated 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 Contractor at the prices stated in the attached
proposal, the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable
price, and the amount of ail extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon,
or provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover
the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the whole work to
completion, and which cannot be utilized. The G,aner'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
(r 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.

Proctor Density. If rock or other unyielding material is encountered
in the bottom of the trench, the unyielding material shall be removed
to a depth of three (3) inches below grade and replaced with the bedding
material to grade. The grade shall be such the the pipe will rest
firmly on the bottom of the trench throughout the entire length of the
pipe cylinder.
The trench width for the D.I. and PVC lines shall be the the outside
diameter of the pipe plus 24". The trench shall be cut so that the
maximumhorizontal offset of the trench walls from the bottom to. the
top of the trench (undercutting) shall be six (6) inches.

the proper jointing of the pipe and to permit the bottom of the pipe
to rest firmly on the bottom of the trench throughout the entire length
of the pipe cylinder.
Trench digging machinery may be used to make the trench excavation
except in places where its operation would cause damage to trees,
buildings, telephone lines or other existing structures either above
or below ground; in such instances hand methods shall be employed to
excavate the trench at no additional cost to the owner.
Where necessary to prevent caving, the trench shall be adequately braced
and shored. The unit price bid per linear foot of pipe shall include

(5) Laying and Jointing Cast Iron.Pipe
The gasket seat in the socket, the rubber gasket and the
plain end of the pipe to be laid should be whiped clean.
After placing a length of pipe in the trench, the plain
end of the pipe should be then aligned and started into
the socket so.that it is in contact with the gasket.
Sufficient force then must be exerted on the entering pipe
so that the plain end is moved past the gasket and makes
contact with the base of the socket. The joint may be
deflected but never to exceed manufacturerts recommendations..
Unless otherwise directed pipe shall be laid with bells
facing indirection of laying; and for lines on appreciable
slopes, bells shall, at the discretion of the Engineer,
face up grade.
Cutting.of pipe for inserting valves, fittings or colsure
pieces shall be done in a neat and workmanlike manner
without damage to the pipe or the cement lining.
The jointing shall be,completed for all pipe laid each day,
in order not to leave open joints in the trench over night.
At the times when pipe laying is not in progress the open
ends of pipe shall be closed by approved means, and,no trench
water shall be permitted to enter the pipe..
No pipe shall be laid in water, or when the trench conditions
or .weather is unsuitable for such work, except by permission
of the Engineer.

..
The approximate location of all known water mains, gas mains, storm
sewers, and sanitary sewers"are'shown on the plans. However, the
consumer service lines.from,these utilities are not known.
The Contractor will be required to locate all utility lines, including
consumer service lines, far enough in advance of the trenching to
make proper provisions for protecting the lines and to allow for any
deviations that may be.requir.ed from the established lines and grades..
The Contractor will not be allowed to disrupt the service on any util—
ity lines except consumer service lines, which may be taken out of
service for short period of tir„e provided the Contractor obtains
permission from the Engineer and from the owner of the premises being
served by the utility.
The Contractor shall immediately notify the proper utility company'
of any damage to utility lines in order that service may be established
with the least possible delay. Any damage to existing lines and the
repair of consumer lines..which are authorized to be cut or temporarily
taken out of service shall be repaired or replaced by the Contractor
at his own expense, and as directed by an official representative of
the utility company involved.
U1 utility lines shall be properly supported to prevent settlement
or damage to the line both during and after construction. The cost
of supporting utility lines shall be included in the unit price bid
per foot of pipe.
Any permanent relocation of existing utility lines shall be done 'DV
the proper utility company without e.-pense to the Contractor
'.Nnere nipes, conduits, or concrete curbs or a th

CONCRETE FM " C:R:' -L1, �ti'� G ABLOCYII�'G
Concrete used for cradling or blocking shall conform to concrete
specifications as 'set forth in Section III, Paragraph 6. At locations
shou-n on the plans or as directed by the Engineer, the Contractor
will be required to cradle the pipe or block the fittings. Concrete
for blocking and cradling will not be a separate bid item but shall
be considered subsidiary to the various items where it is necessary.
Before placing the concrete, all`lobse earth shall be removed from
the trench. The concrete shall'be placed in the trench by the use of
c'rutes extending to within. three feet of the bottom of the trench and
shall be deposited uniformly on each side of the pipe in such a man-
ner as not to disturb the grade and alignment of the pipe. The ccn-
c`ete shall be of such consistency that it will flow without separation
of the aggregates.
The backinv+ shall be placed, as directed by the Engineer, between
solid ground and the fittings to be anchored. The area of bearing
on the pipe and. on the ground shall be that required by the Engineer.
The back-irg shall be placed so the pipe and fitting joints will be.
accessi cle for repair. The soil 'Dearing value for thrust backing
shall be as recormended by the pipe manufacturer and, in the absence
of such recc=endation, the allowable bearing value shall not exceed
3000 pounds per square foot,
H D--,:0ST',TTC TESTS
r. Pressure Duiring Test
After the pipe has been laid the line shall be subjected to a
hydrostatic pressure test and a leakage test. The. lines shall
be tested at 100 p.s.i.

As the line is being .filled and before applying the test pressure
all air shall be"expelled from the pipe. To accc=plish this,
taz)s shall be made, if necessary, at points of highest elevation.
After the test the taps shall be tightly plugged.
During the time the test pressure is on the pipe, the line shall
be Carefully checked at regular intervals for bre2'.;s _or leatis.
Any joints showing appreciable leaks shall he repaired and any
cracked of defective pipes or fittings shall be removed and
replaced with sound materials in the manner provided and .the
test shall be repeated until satisfactory results are obtained.
D. I,eai:.aae Test
After all'defects have been satisfactorily repaired and all
;visible leaks stopped a leakage test shall be Wade on each
valved section of the lines to determine the quantity of Water
lost by leakage. The Contractor siall flarni s : all labor,
materials and equipment (except maters, required :for -making - -- - -
the test. . the leancge shall be deter —mined by ieasuring the
