notified.
8. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
The intent of these contract documents is that only materials and workmanship of the best quality and grade will be
fin-nished. 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 protecting them adequately until incorporated into the

responsibility of complying with this provision. 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.

All equipment and materials incorporated in the project and all construction shall be guaranteed against defective materials
and workmanship. Prior to final acceptance, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner, a written general guarantee which

The Contractor shall be responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, and protection of all materials, supplies,
machinery, equipment, tools, apparatus, accessories, facilities, and all means of construction, 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 reserves the right, after the bids have been opened and before the contract
has been awarded, to require of a bidder the following information:

contract and all work in progress with bond amounts and percentage completed.
(b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of the bidder.

incorporated into the work without paying the tax at the time of purchase.

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 construction of the project contemplated by these
contract documents. The City of Lubbock agrees that it will furnish Contractor the location of all such underground lines
and utilities of which it has knowledge. However, such fact shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities
C
aforementioned. All such underground 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,
r-at Contractor's expense.

when damage is incurred, the damaged portion shall be immediately removed and replaced by Contractor at his own cost
l and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of barricades, signs, and lights shall not cease until the date
of issuance to Contractor of City's certificate of acceptance of the project.
15. 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 fall responsibility for
all damage which may occur as a direct or indirect result of the blasting. In addition, in all rases 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.

site of the work of Contractor's intention to use explosives, and such notice shall be given sufficiently in advance to enable

shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any damage resulting from his blasting operations.
16. 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

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 isfurther directed to the
�-- requirements of Article 5159a, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes providing for the payment of the wage schedules above
y mentioned and the bidder's obligations thereunder. The inclusion of the schedule of general prevailing rate of per diem
wages in these contract documents does not release the Contractor from compliance with any wage law that may be
applicable. Construction 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.

Owner's Representative not less than three full working days prior to the weekend or holiday he desires to do work and

construction work requiring an inspector on weekends or holidays will be made by the Owner's Representative.

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 deductions (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

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 insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the

which in any manner effect the contract or the work, and shall indemnify and save harmless the Owner against any claims
arising from the violation of any such laws, ordinances, and regulations, whether by the Contractor or his employees. If the
Contractor observes that the plans and specifications are at variance therewith, he shall promptly notify the Owners'
Representative in writing and any necessary changes shall be adjusted as provided in the contract for changes in the work.
If the Contractor performs any work knowing it to be contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and without
such notice to the Owner's Representative, he shall bear all costs arising therefrom.
The Owner is a municipal corporation of the State of Texas and the law from which it derives its powers, insofar as the
same regulates the objects for which, or the manner in which, or the conditions under which the Owner may enter into
contracts, shall be controlling, and shall be considered as part of this contract to the same effect as though embodied herein.
33. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
The Contractor further agrees that he will retain personal control and will give his personal attention to the fulfillment of
this contract. The Contractor finiher agrees that subletting of any portion or feature of the work, or materials required in
the performance of this contract, shall not relieve the Contractor from his full obligations to the Owner, as provided by this

i'
i 34. 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 consideration for the awarding
of this contract, the Owner may withhold permanently from Contractor's total compensation, the sum of $200.00 (TWO -
HUNDRED DOLLARS), not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages 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.
r�
It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the completion of the
work described herein is reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic
change and conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality.
The amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner because of the impracticability and
extreme difficulty in fixing and ascertaining actual damages the Owner would in such event sustain, 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.
M
35. TM E AND ORDER OF COMPLETION
It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Contractor 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 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,
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. OUANTI I'IES 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
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.
40. 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 bid 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.
41. 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 defective 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 contract. 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.
7
42. PARTIAL PAYMENTS
On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an application 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 partial 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 materials 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 written recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion
of the retained percentage due Contractor.
43. 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 inspect the work and within said
time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in accordance 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.
44. 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 before 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 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 fulfillment 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 LLD
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.
48. T1ME 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 rase 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
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 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
r.. substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case of any increase in cost to
the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increase
shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefore. However, should the cost to
complete any such new contract prove to be less than that which would have been the cost to complete the work
under this contract, the Contractor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and certificates of
completion and acceptance, as provided in paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A complete itemized
statement of the contract accounts, certified to by Owner's Representative as being correct shall then be prepared and
delivered to Contractor and his Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be, shall pay the
balance due as reflected by said statement within 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
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
r may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than the
Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
50. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms
within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly abandon the
work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and equipment, and all materials on the ground that have not been
included in payments to the Contractor and have not been 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 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 further agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are so
furnished.

52. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special conditions conflict
with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event the special conditions shall control.
53. LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss or damage to the Contractor arising out of the nature of the work to be done, or
from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstance and the prosecution of the same, or from unusual _
obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work, shall be sustained and borne by the
Contractor at his own cost and expense.
54. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent contractor with full, complete and exclusive power and 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.

3. EXECUTION
3.01 INSTALLATION OF BUILDING RACEWAYS:
A. 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.
B. Types: All conduits installed in wet or damp locations, or on roofs shall be
rigid galvanized steel conduits. Above. grade interior conduits shall be rigid
galvanized steel conduits, or EMT. In sizes up to and including 1-1/2",
electrical metallic tubing may be used in dry locations where not subject to
mechanical damage. EMT may be used in air conditioned spaces, such as
accessible ceilings, dry wall partitions and exposed where 6' above the floor.
EMT shall not be used outside, in concrete, underground, in under -floor
spaces, in masonry walls, in locations likely to be damp, or exposed within 6' of
the floor. Conduits installed below grade in slabs or buried in earth shall be
PVC or rigid galvanized steel.
C. Sizes: Size and install raceways so that 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. Sizes of conduits shown on the drawings are minimum sizes
to be installed.
D. 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.
E. Around Heat Producing Equipment: Do not install raceways within 3" of
steam and hot water pipes, breaching and flues, except where crossings are
unavoidable, and then keep raceways at least 1" from insulation on the pipe,
breaching or flue crossed. Wherever possible, avoid installing raceways
directly above or in close proximity to boilers and other like objects operating
at high temperatures.
r
F. 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 within the
raceways.
G. 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.
H. Joining Rigid Conduits: 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.
I. Protection of Raceways: Seal ends of all raceways with blank discs
("pennies"), push pennies or other approved closers during construction. Do
not pull any conductors into raceways until all plastering in the vicinity is
completed. Swab out all raceways before pulling in conductors
J. Penetrations: Wherever raceways pass through floors, walls.partitions, etc.,
carefully fill any space between the outside of the raceway and the building
material to prevent passage of air, water, smoke and fumes. Filling material
shall be fire resistive and, in general, similar to the basic building materials
through which the raceway passes.
3.02 CONDUIT SUPPORTS:
A. Support spacing: Use minimum spacing as directed by National Electrical
Code, but space hangers more closely where required by conditions.
B. Vertical conduit risers: Support vertical conduits at each floor by means of
riser clamps or U-bolts, clamping them to a steel channel bridging the opening
in the floor.
C. 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 joists
(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 member.
Locate conduits a sufficient distance above the ceiling to permit removal of the
12
i
1`
ceiling panels: Locate them so as not to hinder access to mechanical and
electrical equipment through the ceiling panels.
D. Multiple Conduits: Where multiple raceways are run horizontally at the same
elevations, they may be supported on trapezes formed of sections of Unistrut
angle iron or channels suspended on rods or pipes. Size trapeze members
including the suspension rods for the number size and loaded weight of the
conduits they are to support. Space them as required for the smallest conduit
_
supported.
3.03 INSTALLATION OF OUTLET BOXES:
A. Usage: Provide at each outlet or device of whatever character a metal outlet
box in which conduits shall terminate.
B. Boxes recessed in construction: Sheet steel boxes.
C. For Lighting Fixture Outlets: 4" octagonal by 1-1/2" minimum depth with
3/8" fixture stud for incandescent lights which are surface mounted, wall
mounted or suspended.
D. 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.
E. Wall Mounted telephone Outlet Boxes: 4-11/16" square by 2-1/8" deep,
unless otherwise noted or unless wall construction requires a smaller box.
F. Boxes for exposed Work: Cast metal boxes.
G. Boxes for Outdoors: Cast metal boxes with gasketed covers.
3.04 INSTALLATION OF PULL AND JUNCTION BOXES:
A. Sizing: Size all pull and junction boxes in accordance with NEC, using larger
sizes than required by code where job conditions so indicate.
B. 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.
C. Identification of Pull and Junction Boxes: Each pull and junction box shall be
labeled with indelible ink to indicate the wiring contained inside the box. The
label shall indicate the panel and circuit number of the wiring contained. The

work under this Division. After the electrical work has been installed, tested
and approved, backfill all excavations with suitable material. Include the
cutting of all sidewalks, streets and other pavement and repairing the openings
in them to return to the surface to approximately its original condition.
B. Perform all excavations of every description of whatever substances
encountered and to the depths required for installation of the work under this
Division.
r
14
i
3
i
C. 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 grading to prevent surface water from flowing into
excavations and remove any water accumulating therein by pumping. ,
D. Use open cut grading and make trenches of the necessary width for proper
installation of the lines with banks as nearly vertical as possible.
E. Grade the bottom of trenches accurately to provide uniform bearing and
support for conduit or duct on undisturbed,soil at every point along its entire
length.
F. Refer to Section 16000 for the protection and location of existing irrigation,
control, and electric lines.
3.02 BACKFILLING:
A. 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.
B. 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 in 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.
3.03 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 materials to match those cut out. Take care that
the patches are level with the original surfaces and thoroughly bond with them.
3.04 INSTALLATION OF CONCRETE ENCASED CONDUITS:
A. Use plastic conduits as specified, installed with steel reinforced concrete
encasement, with a minimum of 6" of concrete between conduits. Provide at
least 30 inches of cover from top of concrete encasement to finished grade.
15
B. Support conduits completely in the trench before any concrete is poured, using
factory -fabricated plastic conduit spacers in staggered configuration to provide
I
the proper horizontal and vertical spacings, and securing the entire assembly
with heavy twine or cord to -insure rigidity during pouring.
C. Fabricate duct runs with standard factory -made fittings, elbows and
raccessories.
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
p
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.
.—
D. 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.
3.05 INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND PLASTIC CONDUIT:
A. Install at least 30 inches below finished grade unless noted to the contrary.
Assemble and install raceways in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
