r 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 contract, the plans and specifications,
and within the time of completion designated in the bid; provided, also, that when the Owner is having other work done,
r
P
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 intends 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 several parts.
36. EXTENSION OF TIME
The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his bid 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, walkouts, acts of God or the public enemy, fire or flood The Contractor may apply in writing for
an extension 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 receipt of a written request for
an extension of time by the Contractor supported by all requested documentation shall then submit such written request to
the City Council of the City of Lubbock for their consideration. 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.
37. 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 incident to such work, whether
growing out of delays in securing material or workmen or otherwise. No charge 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.
38. 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 famished 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
bids 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.
39. 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 performance of this contract, but such indemnity shall not apply to any claim of any kind arising out of the
existence or character of the work. -.

stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the price set forth in the bid attached hereto, which

r showing the Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the work Before final payment is made,
s Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit or otherwise, that there are no outstanding liens against Owner's premises by

payment. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment and the progress of the work made by

agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to completion, and this fact is certified to by

7 Contractor, the Owner may upon written recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion
of the retained percentage due Contractor.

completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of this agreement, provided he has frilly performed his contractual
E obligations under the terms of this contract; 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 Ailfiliment of any warranty which may be required in the special conditions (if
any) of this contract or required in the specifications made a part of this contract.
45. 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 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 Contractor's expense.
46. 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.
47. 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

48. THE OF FILING CLAWS
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 otherwise in the contract documents.
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
r
k
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
rin 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 moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time become due to the Contractor under
and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under
this contract, if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference.
In case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had
been completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor and/or 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 co.M 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 30 days after the date of certificate of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would have been the
cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this contract, or when the Contractor
and/or his Surety 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
r„ 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
fro may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any
t
machinery, 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
7 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
r' 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 bid, the value of all partially completed
work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by
�,., the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the
whole work to completion, and which cannot be utilized. The 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 statutory 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 fiuther agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are so
furnished

with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event the special conditions shall controL

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 authority 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 observe 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 tools, 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 case of dispute Owner may
remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.

Excavation:
Perform all excavation work required in connection with the installation of the work under
this Division. After the electrical work has been installed, tested and approved, backfill all
excavations with suitable material under the direction of the Architect. Include the cutting
City of Lubbock, Sudan Pump Station
r
t
T.M410M]
of all sidewalks, streets and other pavement and repairing the openings in them to return
to the surface to approximately its original condition.
Perform all excavations of every description of whatever substances encountered and to
the depths required for installation of the work under this Division.
During excavation, stack material suitable for backfilling in an orderly manner a sufficient
distance from the banks of the trenches to prevent slides or cave-ins. Remove all
excavated material not required or suitable for backfill, or waste as directed. Control
r- grading to prevent surface water from flowing into excavations and remove any water
accumulating therein by pumping.
Use open cut grading and make trenches of the necessary width for proper installation of
the lines with banks as nearly vertical as possible.
Grade the bottom of trenches accurately to provide uniform bearing and support for
r' conduit or duct on undisturbed soil at every point along its entire length.
Except at locations where excavation of rock from the bottoms of trenches is required,
take care not to excavate below the depths required. Where rock excavation is required,
remove the rock to minimum overdepth of 4 inches below the trench depths specified.
Backfill the overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation to the proper level
with 3/4 inch crushed rock or the equivalent in coarse gravel prior to the installation of
conduit or ducts. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of properly
supporting conduits or ducts is encountered in the trench bottom, remove such soil to a
depth required and backfill the trench to trench bottom grade with 3/4 inch crushed rock
or coarse gravel or other suitable material.
Backfilling:
Carefully backfill trenches with earth, 'sandy clay, sand and gravel, soft shale or other
approved material free from large clods of earth or stone, deposited in thoroughly and
carefully rammed 6-inch layers. Do not use blasted rock, broken concrete or pavement, or
large boulders as backfill material. Settling the backfill with water will be permissible and
will be requirement when so directed. Re -open any trenches improperly filled or where
settlement occurs to the depth required for proper compaction, then refill, mound over and
smooth off.
Backfill open trenches across roadways or other areas to be paved as specified above
except that the entire depth of trench shall be backfilled in 6-inch layers, each layer
moistened and compacted to a density of not less than 95% Standard Proctor to such
manner as to permit the rolling and compaction of the filled trench together with the
adjoining earth to provide the required bearing value and permit paving of the area
immediately after backfilling is completed. Along all other portions of the trenches, grade
the ground to a reasonable uniformity and leave the mounding over the trenches in a
uniform and neat condition.
Opening and Closing Pavement:
^, Where excavation requires the opening of existing walks, streets, drives or other existing
pavement, including "black topping," cut the pavement as required. Hold the size of the
cut to a minimum consistent with the work to be accomplished. After the installation of
the new work is completed and the excavation has been backfilled, patch the paving using
City of Lubbock, Sudan Pump Station
16300-4
materials to match those cut out. Take care that the patches are level with the original
surfaces and thoroughly bond with them.
Installation of Underground Ducts:
Use plastic electrical ducts, installed with concrete encasement, with a minimum of 3" of
concrete between ducts and earth, and with 2 inches of concrete between adjacent ducts.
Concrete shall contain a red dye additive to give a distinctive red color when concrete is
cured. Provide at least 30 inches of cover from top of concrete encasement to finished
grade. Install with uniform slope for drainage, with no low pockets to collect water.
Build up duct banks completely in the trench before any concrete is poured, using factory -
fabricated plastic conduit spacers in staggered configuration to provide the proper
horizontal and vertical spacings, and securing the entire assembly with heavy twine or cord
to insure rigidity during pouring. Do not use metal for this purpose. Assemble
conduits with staggered adjacent couplings so that no two couplings will lie in the same
transverse plane, in a vertical direction. Use solvent cement as directed by the duct
manufacturer in making up all joints.
Fabricate duct runs with standard factory -made fittings, elbows and accessories. Make all
changes of direction, horizontal or vertical, with long sweep bends having a minimum
radius of 25 feet, except that manufactured bends at or near the ends of the runs may be
used on short runs of 100 feet or less. Make long sweep bends with one or more curved
or straight sections of duct. Manufactured bends, where permitted, shall have a minimum
radius of 10 times the nominal duct diameter. Where manufactured ducts of greater than a
30 degree angle are required, use rigid hot dipped galvanized steel conduit bends. During
construction, protect partially completed duct lines from entrance of dirt and debris by
means of suitable factory -made duct plugs. After completion of installation, seal all ends
of spare ducts with factory made duct plugs.
Where ducts turn up through floor slabs or above grade change from plastic duct to rigid
galvanized steel conduit below grade, using suitable factory adapters. At the point of
change of materials, extend the concrete envelope to enclose at least 2 feet of steel
conduit. Wrap all steel conduits and fittings buried in earth as specified elsewhere herein,
or use PVC coated steel conduits.
Install the concrete envelope for a given duct run in one pour where possible. Use
concrete of 3000 psi compressive strength. In pouring concrete, do not allow heavy
masses of concrete to fall on ducts. Direct flow of concrete down sides of assembly to
bottom, forcing it to flow to center of bank and then to rise up in middle, filling all spaces
uniformly. Spade concrete liberally and carefully with a long, flat slicing bar between
vertical rows to eliminate voids. Weight or brace the duct bank assembly if necessary, to
prevent the assembly from floating. Because of the fact that plastic conduits may expand
considerably during construction, each run and its concrete envelope shall be installed
starting at one end and proceeding toward the other with any necessary adjustments to
length being made at the end toward which the work is progressing.
After ducts are installed, complete with envelope, and before pulling any cable, pull a
mandrel through every duct to check for alignment and clear passage. Use an iron -shod
mandrel with a diameter of 1/4 inch less than the nominal size of the duct and a length
equal to the duct diameter. Mandrel shall have a leather or rubber gasket slightly larger
than the duct hole. After testing the ducts with the mandrel, pull a stiff -bristled brush
through each duct until
it is clear of all particles of earth, sand or gravel; then install duct plugs immediately.

Installation of Underground Steel Conduit:
All steel conduit in earth shall be rigid galvanized steel conduit. Wrap such conduit with
3M Company 0.020 inch thick No. 51 "scotchrap" vinyl plastic tape, half lapped to give a
double thickness wrap. Remove all oil, grease and dirt from conduit with a suitable
solvent, and clean and dry conduit before wrapping. If conduit is pre -wrapped in the shop
and then cut and joined on the job, wrap all joints on the job, overlapping pipe wrapping
3" on both side of joints.
Installation of PVC coated Conduits:
During installation, visually examine the conduit for cuts. Patch these areas with a paste
containing a PVC solvent obtained from the conduit manufacturer. The patch shall be
built up to the original thickness of the coating and feathered out on all side of the
damaged area a minimum of 1/2 inch to provide a complete bonded seal over the damaged
area.
Installation of Building Raceways:
All wiring of every description shall be run in conduit or electrical metallic tubing unless
` noted or specified otherwise. Conduits may be run exposed in machinery and electrical
rooms and unfinished areas. All other conduits shall be run concealed unless otherwise
noted. All exposed runs shall be installed parallel to the surface of the building in a neat
and orderly manner.
Sizes: Size and install raceways so the conductors may be drawn in without injury or
excessive strain. Make field bends with approved bending devices. Do not install bends
or offsets in which conduit is crushed, deformed or otherwise injured.
Connections: Use lengths of flexible metal conduit, not less than 12" long at final
connections to all motors, generators, controls and other devices subject to movement
because of vibration or mechanical adjustment. Use flexible metal conduit also at
connections to recessed lighting fixtures, and elsewhere as required. In damp or wet
locations, and where installed outdoors, use liquidtight flexible metal conduit.
r Around Heat Producing Equipment: Do not install raceways within 3" of steam and hot
water pipes, breeching and flues, except where crossings are unavoidable, and then keep
raceways at least V from insulation on the pipe, breeching or flue crossed. Wherever
possible, avoid installing raceways directly above or in close proximity to boilers and other
Eke objects operating at high temperatures.
Damp or Wet Locations: In damp or wet locations make every effort to avoid installing
raceways in a manner which will create moisture traps. Where they must be so installed,
seal both ends of raceways with an approved sealing compound to prevent "breathing" and
moisture condensation with in the raceways.
r
Different Systems: In systems operating at more than 300 volts between phase
conductors, where different phase conductors are to be run to a common gang wall switch
box, install a separate conduit for each different phase wire and its return switch leg, and
provide substantial barriers between adjacent switches in the box so that two different
phase wires will not be the same compartment.
City of Lubbock, Sudan Pump Station
16300 - 6
Joining Rigid Conduit: Join with threaded couplings. Ream out all conduit ends after
threading. Secure rigid conduits at panel boxes, junction boxes, pull boxes, switchboards,
support boxes, or sheet metal outlet boxes by galvanized locknuts, inside and outside, with
insulating bushing inside. Unthreaded set screw type couplings or connectors are not
acceptable in rigid conduit systems. No running threads shall be used anywhere in conduit
systems.
Protection of Raceways: Seal ends of all raceways with blank discs ("pennies"), push
pennies or other approved closures during construction. Do not pull any conductors into
raceways until all plastering in the vicinity is completed. Swab out all raceways before
pulling
i conductors.
Conduit Supports:
Support spacing: Use minimum spacing as directed by National Electrical Code, but space
hangers more closely where required by conditions.
Individual Conduits: Support conduits running vertically or horizontally with galvanized
malleable iron one hole clamps. Carry individually supported horizontal conduits 1-1/4"
and larger on Kindorf No. 150 or Steel City No. C-149 hangers. Use no perforated strap
iron as hanger material. Where conduits smaller than 1-1/4" are installed above metal lath
and plaster ceilings or mechanically suspended dry ceilings of the non -removable type,
they may be supported on ceiling runner channels. Where conduits smaller than 1-1/4" are
installed above removable ceilings, attach them to the structure or bar joints (where
present) or support them on threaded hanger rods with clips. Do not use any wire to
support conduits or to attach conduits to supporting members. Locate conduits a
sufficient distance above the ceiling to permit removal of the ceiling panels. Locate them
so as not to hinder access to mechanical and electrical equipment through the ceiling
panels.
Installation of Outlet Boxes:
Usage: Provide at each outlet or device of whatever character a metal outlet box in which
conduits shall terminate.
Boxes recessed in construction: Sheet steel boxes.
For Lighting Fixture Outlets: 4" octagonal with 3/8" fixture stud for incandescent lights
which are surface mounted, wall mounted or suspended.
For Wall Switches, Receptacles and Communications Use: Use 4"x4" size with proper
square cornered tile wall cover, plaster cover, or finishing plate, except where
construction will not permit or the device requires a larger box.
Boxes for Exposed Work: Cast metal boxes.
Boxes for Outdoors: Cast metal boxes with gasketed covers.
Installation of Pull and Junction Boxes:
Sizing: Size all pull and junction boxes in accordance with NEC using larger sizes than
required by code where job conditions so indicate.
City of Lubbock, Sudan Pump Station
16300 - 7
Mounting: Fasten all boxes securely to the building construction, independent of conduit
systems. On concealed conduit systems where boxes are not otherwise accessible, set box
covers flush with finished surfaces for access.
Installation of Surface Raceways: Surface raceway shall be installed parallel to the wall
line in a neat and orderly manner. The surface raceway shall be mounted using only such
fasteners that are recommended by the manufacturer for the type of surface material
encountered. Paint raceway to match surface of installation.
