All bidders shall be thoroughly familiar with all of the requirements set forth on the contract documents for the construction of this project and shall be responsible for the satisfactory completion of all work contemplated by said contract documents. 3.

The Contractor will be permitted to prosecute the work in the order of his own choosing, provided, however, the City reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit a progress schedule of the work contemplated by the contract documents. In the event the City requires a progress schedule to be submitted, and it is determined by the City that the progress of the work is not in accordance with the progress schedule so submitted, the City may direct the Contractor to take such action as the City deems necessary to insure completion of the project within the time specified.

MATERIALS AND WORKMANSIHP i ` The intent of these contract documents is that only materials and workmanship of the best quality and grade will be furnished. The fact that the specifications may fail to be sufficiently complete in some detail will not relieve the Contractor r of full responsibility for providing materials of high quality and for protecting them adequately until incorporated into the project. The presence or absence of a representative of the City on the site will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility of complying with this 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. w 1 r- 8. GUARANTEES 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 shall provide that the Contractor shall remedy any defects in the work, and pay for any and all damages of any nature whatsoever resulting in such defects, when such defects appear within ONE year from date of final acceptance of the work as a result of defective materials or workmanship, at no cost to the Owner (City of Lubbock).

PROTECTION OF THE WORK 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: (a) The experience record of the bidder showing completed jobs of a similar nature to the one covered by the proposed contract and all work in progress with bond amounts and percentage completed. (b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of the bidder. (c) Equipment schedule. 11. TEXAS STATE SALES TAX This contract is issued by an organization which qualifies for exemption provisions pursuant to provisions of Article 20.04 of the Texas Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act.

PROTECTION OF SUBSURFACE LINES AND STRUCTURES It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to prosecute the work contemplated by the contract documents in such a way as to exercise due care to locate and prevent damage to all underground pipelines, utility lines, conduits or other underground structures which might or could be damaged by Contractor during the 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 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, at Contractor's expense. 13. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES The contractor shall, at his own expense, furnish and erect such barricades, fences, lights and danger signals, and shall take such other precautionary measures for the protection of persons, property and the work as may be necessary.

EXPLOSIVES The use of explosives will not be permitted unless written permission to do so is obtained by the Contractor from the City. In all cases where written permission is obtained for the use of explosives, the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for all damage which may occur as a direct or indirect result of the blasting. In addition, in all cases where explosives are authorized to be used, the Contractor shall use utmost care so as not to endanger life or property and the Contractor shall .. further use only such methods as are currently utilized by persons, firms, or corporations engaged in similar type of construction activity. Explosive materials shall not be stored or kept at the construction site by the Contractor. In all cases where explosives are to be used during the construction of the project contemplated by this contract, it shall be the duty of the Contractor to notify each utility company having structures (above or below the ground) in proximity to the site of the work of Contractor's intention to use explosives, and such notice shall be given sufficiently in advance to enable the companies to take such steps as they may deem necessary to protect their property from injury.

The bidders' attention is further directed to the requirements of Article 5159a, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes providing for the payment of the wage schedules above mentioned and the bidder's obligations 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.

Before construction work requiring an inspector is to be performed on weekends or holidays, the Contractor must notify the Owner's Representative not less than three full working days prior to the weekend or holiday he desires to do work and obtain written permission from the Owner's Representative to do such work. The final decision on whether to allow construction work requiring an inspector on weekends or holidays will be made by the Owner's Repiesentative. In any event, if a condition should occur or arise at the site of this project or from the work being done under this contract which is hazardous or dangerous to property or life, the Contractor shall immediately commence work, regardless of the day of the week or the time of day, to correct or alleviate such condition so that it is no longer dangerous to property or life. 18.

Leakage Test: After all defects have been satisfactorily repaired and all visible leaks stopped, a leakage test shall be made on each valved section of the lines to determine the quantity of water lost by leakage. The contractor shall furnish all labor, material, and equipment (except meters) required for making the test. The leakage shall be determined by measuring the quantity of water supplied to each valved section of the lines, during the test period, when the various sections of the lines are under pressure. No pipe installation will be accepted until or unless the leakage as determined by above test is less than the amount set forth below. The allowable leakage (gallons per hour) shall not be greater than determined by the following formula: L=ND P 3700 L = Gallons Per Hour D =Nominal Pipe Diameter (in.) N = Number of Joints P = Test Pressure (PSI) If individual sections show leakage greater than the limits specified above, the contractor shall at his own expense locate and repair the defective joints until the leakage is within the specified allowance. ACCEPTANCE Portions of the work completed may be placed in operation after cleaning, testing and inspection requirements have been fulfilled. Such partial use of partial acceptance shall be subject to approval of City Inspector. Restoration and Clean UP: The Contractor shall restore or replace all removed or damaged paving, curbing, sidewalks, gutters, sod, shrubbery, fences, irrigation ditches, pipe, or other structures or surfaces to a condition equal to that before the work began and to the satisfaction of the Water Utilities Department.

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 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 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 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 3 } 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 r 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% r^ 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. 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. 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 4 r 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. 5 r�+ c P 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 6 locations, and where installed outdoors, use liquidtight flexible metal conduit. 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 1" from insulation on the pipe, breeching or flue crossed. Wherever possible, avoid installing raceways directly above or in close proximity to boilers and other like 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. 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. 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 in 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 7 f i 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 (rahefe 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 r- 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 f terminate. Boxes recessed in construction: Sheet steel boxes. r- 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 411x4" 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. 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. 8 PM SECTION 16400 MOTORS AND EQUIPMENT CONTROLS AND WIRING PART I - GENERAL Note: Conform with applicable provisions of the General Conditions, the Special Conditions and the General Requirements.
