phic communication should not reveal the bid price but

fication so that the final prices or terms will not be known

calendar day thereafter in which the project is not fully
completed.
8. Conditions of Work

-- relating to the construction of the project and the
employment of labor thereon. Failure to do so will not
relieve a successful bidder of his obligation to furnish all
material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions of

carrying out his work must employ such methods or means as
will not cause any interruption of or interference with the
^� work of any other contractor.

or other pre-bid documents will be made to any bidder orally.

at P.O. Box 2000, Lubbock, TX 79457
�- and to be given consideration must be received at least five
(5) days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids.

instruction will be in the form of written addenda to the
specifications which, if issued, will be mailed by certified
mail with return receipt requested to all prospective
bidders (at the respective addresses furnished for such
purposes), not later than three (3) days prior to the date
fixed for the opening of bids. Failure of any bidder to
receive any such addendum or interpretation shall not
- 3 -
relieve such bidder from any obligation under his bid as
submitted. All addenda so issued shall become part of the
Contract Documents.
10. Performance Bond and Payment Bond (Contract in Excess of
$25,000)
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 be in effect until

file with each bond a certified and effectively dated copy
of their power of attorney.
12. Notice of Special Conditions -
Attention is particularly called to those parts of the
Contract Documents and specifications which deal with the
following:
(a) Inspection and testing of materials.
(b) Insurance requirements.
(c) Wage rates.
13. Laws and Regulations
The bidder's attention is directed to the fact that all
applicable State laws, municipal ordinances and the rules
and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over
construction of the project shall apply to the Contract
throughout, and they will be deemed to be included in the
Contract the same as though herein written out in full.
14. Obligation of Bidder
At the time of the opening of bids, each bidder will be
presumed to have inspected the site and to have read and to
4 -
be thoroughly familiar with the plans and Contract Documents
as defined in the General Conditions. The failure or
omission of any bidder to examine any form, instrument or
document shall in no way relieve any bidder from -any
obligation in respect of his bid.
If Plans and Specifications are too bulky or cumbersome to
be physically bound to the Contract Documents, they are to
be considered incorporated by reference into the aforemen-
tioned Contract Documents.
15. Texas State Sales Tax
This Contract is issued by an organization which qualifies
for exemption pursuant to the provisions of Article 20.04 of
the Texas Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act.
^^ The Contractor must obtain a limited sales, excise and use
tax permit which shall enable him to buy the materials to be
incorporated into the work without paying the tax at the
time of purchase.
16. Materials and Workmanship
The intent of these Contract Documents is that only mate-
rials and workmanship of the best quality and grade will' -be
furnished. The fact that the specifications may fail to be
�- suffici-ently 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 project. The presence or absence of a
representative of the City on the construction site will not
relieve the Contractor of full responsibility for 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.
17. Protection of the Work
The Contractor shall be responsible for the carep pr
"- vation, conservation and protection of all materialseser-
supplies, machinery, equipment, tools apparatus
sories, facilities and all means of constrructi' acces-
onand 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 the
- 5 -
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 of work completed.
(b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of
the bidder.
(c) An equipment schedule.
18. Protection of Subsurface Lines and Structures

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 contem-
plated by these Contract Documents. The City of Lubbock
agrees that it will furnish Contractor with information as
to the location of all such underground lines and utilities
of which it has knowledge. However, such fact shall not--..-
relieve
ot__.._relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities aforemen-
tioned. 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 the Contractor to the satisfaction of the City of
Lubbock, Texas, at Contractor's expense.

sible local representative available at all times while the

ditionally and not less often than once a week, and without
subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such
Payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the
full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash
equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates
not less than those contained in the wage determination of the
Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part
hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be
alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and
mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated
for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -
Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered

or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate
wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the
ski
classification of work actually performed, without regard to ll,
. Laborers or
except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4)
mechanics performing work in more than one classification may
be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for
the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's

classification in which work is performed. The wage determina-
tion (including any additional classification and wage rates con-
formed under 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and the Davis -Bacon poster
(WH -1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and ac-
cessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
p1Xa) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not
listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed
under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the

tion of HUD or its designee, to the Administrator for determination.

propriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs A.141i)(b) or (c) of

wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under
a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor.has found,

dards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of

representatives of the Contractor is essential to the proper
performance of the work, and lack of such supervision shall be
grounds for suspending operations of the Contractor. The work, -
from its commencement to completion, shall be under the exclusive
charge and control of the Contractor and all risk in connection
therewith shall be borne by the Contractor. The Owner, Owner's
Representatives or Architect will not be responsible for the acts

and Burin the
g prosecution of the work, and the general and local
conditions, and all other matters which in any way affect the

agrees to employ only orderly and competent workers, skillful in
the performance in the type of work required by the said Con-
tract, and he further agrees that whenever the Owner's Represen-
tative shall inform him in writing that any worker or workers
doing the work.are, in his opinion, incompetent, unfaithful or
disorderly, such worker or workers shall be discharged from the
work and.shall not again be employed to do the work without
written consent of the Owner's Representative.
20. CONSTRUCTION PLANT
The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment,
machinery and materials necessary for the prosecution and com-
pletion of this Contract where it is not otherwise specifically
provided that the Owner shall furnish same, and it is also
understood that the Owner shall not be held responsible for the

shall strictly enforce the use of such facilities.
22. OBSERVATION AND TESTING
The Owner's Representative or the Architect shall have the
right at all reasonable times to observe and test the work.
Contractor shall make necessary arrangements and provide proper
facilities and access for such observation and testing at any
location wherever work is in preparation or progress. Contractor
shall ascertain the scope of any observations and tests which may
be contemplated by Owner's Representative or Architect and shall
give ample notice as to the time each part of the work will be
ready for such observations and tests. Owner's Representative or
Architect may reject any work found to be defective or not in
.... accordance with the Contract Documents, regardless of the stage
Of its completion or the time or place of discovery of such
errors, and regardless of whether either Owner's Representative
or Architect has previously accepted the work through oversight
or otherwise. If any work which is required to be inspected,
tested or approved, is covered up without written approval or
consent of the Owner's Representative or Architect, it must, if
requested by the Owner's Representative or Architect, be un-
covered for observation and testing at the Contractor's expense.
In the event that any part of the work is being fabricated or
manufactured at a location where it is not convenient for Owner's
Representative or Architect to make observations of such work or
require testing of said work, then in such event, Owner's Repre-
sentative or Architect may require Contractor to furnish Owner's
Representative or Architect certificates of inspection, testing
or approval made by persons competent to perform such tasks at
the location where that part of the work is being manufactured or
- fabricated. All such tests will be in accordance with the
methods prescribed by the American Society for Testing and
Materials or such other applicable organization as maybe required
by law or the Contract Documents.
If any work which is required to be inspected, tested or
approved, is covered up without written approval or consent of
the Owner's Reprsentative or Architect, it must, if requested by
the Owner's Representative or Architect, be uncovered for
observation and testing at the Contractor's expense. The cost of
.., all such inspections, tests and approvals shall be borne by the
Contractor unless otherwise provided herein. Any work which
fails to meet the requirements of any such tests, inspections or
approval, and any work which meets the requirements of any such
tests or approval but does not meet the requirements of the
Contract Documents shall be considered defective. Such defective
work shall be corrected at the Contractor's expense.
Neither observations by the Owner's Representative or
Architect, nor inspections, tests or approvals made by Owner's
_ Representative or Architect or other persons authorized under
this Agreement to make such inspections, tests or approvals,
shall relieve the Contractor from his obligation to perform the
work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Docu-
"" ments.
23. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is agreed that if the work or any part thereof or
any material brought on the site of the work for use in the work
or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the Owner's
Repre-
sentative or Architect as unsuitable or not in conformity
with
plans, specifications and Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Owner's
Representative or Architect, forthwith remove such material and
rebuild or otherwise remedy such work so that it shall be in full
9 _
accordance with this Contract. It is further agreed that any
remedial action contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be at
the Contractor's expense.
The Contractor shall promptly correct any work rejected by
the Owner's Representative or Architect as defective or as —
failing to conform to the Contract Documents, whether observed
before or after substantial completion and whether or not
fabricated, installed or completed, and shall correct any work
found to be defective or nonconforming within a period of one
year from the date of substantial completion of the Contract, or
within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or
by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the
Contract Documents. The provisions of this Section apply to work
done by subcontractors as well as to work done by direct em-
ployees of the Contractor. The Contractor shall bear all costs
of correcting such rejected work, including compensation for the
Architect's additional services made necessary thereby.
If the Contractor fails to correct defective work as
required, or persistently fails to carry out the work in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents, the Owner's Representative, by
a written order signed personally or by an agent specifically so
empowered by the Owner in writing, may order the Contractor to
stop the work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such
order has been eliminated; however, this right of the Owner to
stop the work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of t -he
Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or
any other pe-Dson or entity.
If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the work
in accordance with the Contract Documents, and fails within seven
days after receipt of written notice from the Owner's Representa-
tive or other agent to commence and continue correction of such
default or neglect with diligence and promptness,the Owner may,
after seven days following receipt by the Contractor of an
additional written notice, and without prejudice to any other
remedy he may have, make good such deficiencies. In such case,
an appropriate Change Order -shall be issued deducting from the
payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the cost of
correcting such deficiencies, including compensation for the
Architect's additional services made necessary by such default,
neglect or failure. If the payments then or thereafter due the
Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the Contrac-
tor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
If, within one year after the date of substantial completion
of the work or designated portion thereof, or within one year
after acceptance by the Owner of designated equipment, or within
such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the
terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract
Documents, any of the work is found to be defective or not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall
correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the
- 10 -
Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Con-
tractor a written acceptance of such condition. This obligation
shall survive termination of the Contract. The Owner shall give
such notice promptly after discovery of the defect.
24. CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS
The Contractor further agrees that the Owner may make such
changes and alterations as the Owner may see fit, in the line,
grade, form, dimensions, plans or materials for the work herein
contemplated, or any part thereof, either before or after the
beginning of the construction, without affecting the validity of
this Contract and the accompanying bond.
If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the
work to be done, they shall not constitute the basis for a claim
for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be
dispensed with. If they increase the amount of work, and the
increased work can fairly be classified under the specifications,
such increase shall be paid according to the quantity actually
done and at the unit price established for such work under this
Contract; otherwise, such additional work shall be paid for as
provided under extra work. In case the Owner shall make such
changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already
done or material already furnished or used in said work, then the
'-` Owner shall recompense the Contractor for any material or labor
so used and for any actual loss occasioned by such change due
to actual expenses incurred in preparation for the work as
�-- originally planned.
25. EXTRA WORK
The term "extra work" as used in this Contract shall be
understood to mean and include all work that may be required by
the Owner or Owner's Representative to be done by the Contractor
to accomplish any change, alteration or addition to the work as
shown on the plans and specifications or Contract Documents and
not covered by the Contractor's proposal, except as provided
under changes and alterations herein.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra
work under the direction of the Architect when presented with a
written work order signed by the Owner's Representative, subject,
however, to the right of the Contractor to require written
confirmation of such extra work order by the Owner. It is also
agreed that the compensation to be paid to the Contractor for
performing said extra work shall be determined by one or more of
the following methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed
upon before the extra work is commenced, then
the Contractor shall be paid the actual field
cost of the work, plus fifteen (15'A) percent.
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under -_
Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and
the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of
all workmen, such as foremen, timekeepers, mechanics and labor-
ers, and materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery
and equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such
extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily
incurred, together with all expenses incurred directly on account
of such extra work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits,
Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and
Workmen's Compensation and all other insurances as may be
required by law or ordinances or directed by the Owner's Repre-
sentative or Architect, or by them agreed to. Owner's Represen-
tative may direct the form in which accounts of the actual field
cost shall be kept and records of these accounts shall be made
available to the Owner's Representative. The Owner's Represen-
tative or Architect may also specify in writing, before the work
commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of
machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these matters
shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed
upon or specified, the prices for the use of machinery and
equipment shall be determined by using 1000, of the latest _--
Schedule of Equipment.and Ownership Expenses adopted by the
Associated General Contractors of America. Where practical, the
terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be
incorporated in the written. -extra work order. The fifteen
percent (150) of the actual field cost to be paid to the Con-
tractor shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead,
general superintendence, and field office expense, and all other
elements of cost and expense not embraced within the actual field
cost as herein defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or
Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such
extra work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall
be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless
ordered in writing by the Owner's Representative. In case any
orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra
work for which he should receive compensation or an adjustment in
the construction time, he shall make a written request to the
Owner's Representative for a written order authorizing such extra
work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or
does not constitute extra work, or as to the payment therefor,
and the Owner's Representative insists upon its performance, the
Contractor shall proceed with the work after making a written
request for a written order and shall keep adequate and accurate
account of the actual field cost thereof, as provided under
- 12 -
Method (C). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to
submit the matter of payment to arbitration, as herein below
provided.
26. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of this Contract
that all work described in the proposal, the specifications,
plans and other Contract Documents is to be done for the price
quoted by the Contractor and that such price shall include all
appurtenances necessary to complete the work in accordance with
�.-- the intent of these Contract Documents, as interpreted by the
Architect. If the Contractor finds any discrepancies or
omissions in these plans, specifications or Contract Documents,
he should notify the Architect and obtain a clarification before
the bids are received, and if no such request is received by the
Architect prior to the opening of bids, then it shall be consi-
dered that the Contractor fully understands the work to be
included and has provided sufficient sums in his proposal to
complete the work in accordance with these plans and specifi-
cations. It is further understood that any request for clari-
fication must be submitted no later than five days prior to the
opening of bids.
27. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If, at any time, the methods or equipment used by the Con-
tractor are found to be inadequate to secure the quality of work
-- with the rate of progress required under this Contract, the Owner
or Owner's Representative may order the Contractor in writing to
increase their safety or improve their character and efficiency
and the Contractor shall comply with such order.
If; at any time, the working force of the Contractor is
inadequate for securing the progress herein specified, the
Contractor shall, if so ordered in writing, increase his force
or equipment, or both,'to such an extent as to give reasonable
assurance of compliance with the schedule of progress.
28. PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENT TO EMPLOYEES AND THE PUBLIC

policies of Worker's Compensation Insurance with an insurance
company licensed to transact business in the State of Texas,
which policy or policies shall comply with the Worker's Com-
pensation laws of the State of Texas. The Contractor shall at
all times exercise reasonable precaution for the safety of
employees and others on or near the work and shall comply with
.. all applicable provisions of federal, state and municipal laws
and building and construction codes. All machinery and equipment
and other physical hazards shall be guarded in accordance with
the "Manual of Accident Prevention in Construction" of Associated
General Contractors of America, except where incompatible with
federal, state or municipal laws or regulations. The Contractor,
13 -
his sureties and insurance carriers shall defend, indemnify and
save harmless the Owner, all of its officers, the Architect and
their agents and employees from all damages, losses, or expenses
and from all suits, actions or claims of any character whatsoever
brought for or on account of any injuries or damages received or
sustained by any person or persons or property, on account of any
negligent act or fault of the Contractor or any subcontractor,
their agents or employees, in execution and supervision of said
Contract, and the project which is the subject matter of this
Contract, including the failure of Contractor or any subcontrac-
tor to provide necessary barricades, warning lights or signs, and
will be required to pay any judgment with costs which may be
obtained against the Owner, its officers, the Architect or any of
their agents or employees, including attorney.'s fees.
In any and all claims against the Owner, any officer of the
Owner, the Architect or any of their agents or employees by any
employee of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose act any of
them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under this
Section shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the
amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or
for the Contractor or any subcontractor under Worker's Compensa-
tion acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit
acts. The obligations of the Contractor under this Section shall
not extend to the liability of the Architect, his agents or
employees, arising out of (1) the preparation or approval of
maps, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, change orders,
designs or specifications, or (2) the giving of or the failure to
give directions or instructions by the Architect, his agents or
employees, provided such giving or failure to give is the primary
cause of the injury or damage.
The safety precautions taken shall be the sole responsi-
bility of the Contractor, in his sole discretion as an Indepen-
dent Contractor. Inclusion of this section in the Agreement, as
well as any notice which may be given by the Owner, the Owner's
Representative or the Architect concerning omission under this
section as the work progresses, are intended as reminders to
the Contractor of his duty, and shall not be construed as any
assumption of duty to supervise safety precautions taken by
either the Contractor or any of his subcontractors.

however, if choice of alternate design, device, material or
process is allowed to the Contractor, then Contractor shall
indemnify and save Owner harmless from any loss on account
thereof. If the material or process specified or required by
Owner is an infringement, the Contractor shall be responsible for
such loss unless he promptly gives written notice to the Owner of

32. LAWS AND ORDINANCES
The Contractor shall at all times observe and comply with
all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations
which in any manner affect 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 Architect and Owner's
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. 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 the
time for completion of the work as specified in the Contract 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."
- 18 -
p-.
The Contractor agrees that said work shall be prosecuted
regularly, diligently and uninterruptedly at such rate of
progress as will insure full completion thereof within the time
specified. It is expressly understood and agreed by and between
the Contractor and the Owner that the time for the completion of
the work described herein is a reasonable time for the comple-
tion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic
range and usual industrial conditions prevailing in the locality.
If the said Contractor shall 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 a part of the consideration for the awarding of
this Contract, to pay to the Owner the amount specified in the
Bid Proposal, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for
such breach of Contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and
-. every calendar day that the Contractor shall be in default after
the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the work.
The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the
Contractor and the Owner because of the impracticability and
extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages
the Owner would in such event sustain, and said amount is agreed
to be the amount of damages which the Owner would sustain, and
said amount shall be permanently retained from time to time by.__.
the Owner from current periodical estimates.
It is further agreed that time is of the essence for each
and every portion of this Contract and of the specifications
wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the
"- performance of any act whatsoever; and where, under the Contract,
additional time is allowed for the completion of any work, the
new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of
°- this Contract. Provided, that the Contractor shall not be
charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the Owner
determines that the Contractor is without fault and the Contrac-
tor's reasons for the time extension are acceptable to the Owner.
Provided, further, that the Contractor shall not be charged with
liquidated damages or any excess cost when the delay in comple-
tion of the work is due:
(a) To any preference, priority or allocation order duly
issued by the Government.
(b) To any unforeseeable cause beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of the Contractor,
-�. including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of
the public enemy, acts of the Owner, acts of another
Contractor in the performance of a contract with the
Owner, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restric-
tions, strikes, freight embargoes or severe weather;
and
- 19 -
(c) To any delays of subcontractors or suppliers occasioned
by any of the causes specified in subsections (a) or
(b) of this section.
Provided'further, that the Contractor shall, within ten (10)
days from the beginning of such delay, unless the Owner shall
grant a further period of time prior to the date of final
settlement of the Contract, notify the Owner's Representative, in
writing, of the causes of the delay, who shall ascertain the
facts and extent of the delay and notify the Contractor within a
reasonable time of the Owner's decision in the matter.
34. TIME 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 or precedence, and in such manner as shall be most
conducive 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 proposals; provided, also,
that when the Owner is having other work done, either by contract
or by his own force, the Owner's Representative may direct the
time and manner of construction work done under this Contract s.o
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 or Architect, sche-
dules which shall show the order in which the Contractor pro-
poses 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.
35. EXTENSION OF TIME
The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his proposal in
full recognition of the time required for the completion of this
project, taking into consideration the average climatic range and
industrial conditions prevailing in this locality, and has
considered the liquidated damage provisions of section 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, the Architect, employees of the Owner or
other contractors employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in
the work, or by strike, walk -outs, acts of God or the public
enemy, fire or flood. The Contractor may apply in writing for an
extension of time, submitting therewith all written justifica-
tions as may be required by the Owner's Representative for such
an extension. The Owner's Representative within ten (10) days
after receipt of a written request for an extension of time by
- 20 -
the Contractor, supported by all requested documentation shall
then submit such written request to the City Council of the City
of Lubbock for its consideration. Should the Contractor disagree
with the action of the City Council, such disagreement shall be
settled by arbitration as hereinafter provided.
36. HINDRANCE AND DELAYS
In executing this 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 hin-
drances 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 is caused by such stoppage, shall be paid by Owner
to Contractor.
37. QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS
No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be
allowed, but the actual measured or computed length, area, solid
contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless
otherwise specifically provided.
-, In the event this Contract is let on a unit price basis,
then Owner and Contractor agree that this Contract, including the
specifications, drawings 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 approximations and are to
be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the
work and for comparing their proposals offered for the work. It
is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be
y- done and the materials to be furnished under this Contract may
difFer somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis
for payment under this Contract is the unit price method, payment
shall be for the actual amount of work done and materials
furnished on the project.
38. PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY
The Contractor shall take proper means to protect the
adjacent or adjoining property or properties in any way en-
countered and which may be injured or damaged by any
process of construction to be undertaken under this Agreement,
and he shall be liable for any and all claims for such injury or
damage on account of his failure to fully protect all adjacent
property. The Contractor agrees to indemnif
harmless the Owner against any claim or claims foredamages and ldue
21 _
to any injury to any adjacent or
growing out of the performance of
indemnity shall not apply to any
of the existence or character of

claim of any kind arising out
the work.
In consideration of furnishing all necessary labor, equip-
ment and material and the completion of all work by the Contrac-
tor, and on the delivery of all materials embraced in this
Contract in full conformity with the specifications and stipu-
lations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor
the price set forth in the proposal attached hereto, which has
been made a part of this Contract, and the Contractor hereby
agrees to receive such price in full for furnishing all labor,
equipment and material required for the aforesaid work, and 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, drawings, Contract
Documents and requirements of the Architect and the Owner's
Representative.
40. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE & PERIODIC ES(IMATES
Immediately after execution and delivery of the Contract,
and before the first partial payment is made, the Contractor
shall deliver to the Owner's Representative and to the Architect
an estimated construction progress schedule in a form satisfac-
tory to the Owner's Representative and Architect, showing the
proposed dates of commencement and completion of each of the
various subdivisions of work required under the Contract Docu-
ments and the anticipated amount of each monthly payment that
will become due the Contractor in accordance with the progress
schedule. The Contractor shall also furnish on forms to be
supplied by the Owner (a) a detailed estimate giving a complete
breakdown of the Contract price and (b) periodic itemized
estimates.of work done for the purpose of making partial payments
thereon. The costs employed .in making up any of these schedules
will be used only for determining the basis of partial payments
and will not be considered as fixing a basis for additions to or
deductions from the Contract price.
At least fifteen days before the date for each progress
payment established in Section 41 of these General Conditions,
the Contractor shall submit to the Architect an itemized Appli-
cation for Payment, notarized if required, supported by such data
substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Owner or
the Architect may require, and reflecting retainage, if any, as
provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
payments will be made on account of materials or equipment not
incorporated in the work but delivered and suitably stored at
the site.
- 22 -
The Contractor warrants that title to all work, materials
and equipment covered by an application for payment will pass to
the Owner either by incorporation in the construction_or upon
the receipt of payment by the Contractor, whicheve
free and clear of all liens, claimsr occurs first,
, security interests or
encumbrances, hereinafter referred to as "liens", and that no
work, materials or equipment covered by an Application for
Payment will have been acquired by the Contractor, or by any
other person performing work at the site or furnishing materials
and equipment for the project, subject to an agreement under
which an interest therein or an encumbrance thereon is retained
by the seller or otherwise imposed by the Contractor or such
other person.
The Architect will, within seven days after the receipt of
the Contractor's Application for Payment, either issue a Certi-
ficate for Payment to the Owner, with a copy to the Contractor,
for such amount as the Architect determines is properly due, or
notify the Contractor in writing of his reasons for withholding a
Certificate.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the
-- Architect's observations at the site and the data comprising the
Application for Payment, that the work has progressed to the
point indicated; that, to the best of his knowledge, information
and belief, the quality of the work is in accordance with the
Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the work for
conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Comple-
tion, to the results of any subsequent tests required by or
performed under the Contract Documents, to minor deviations from
the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion, and to
any specific qualifications stated in his Certificate); and that
-, the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
However, by issuing a Certificate for Payment, the Architect
shall not thereby bedeemed to represent that he has made exhaus-
tive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or
quantity of the work, or that he has reviewed the construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or that he
has made any examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the Contractor has used the moneys
previously paid on account of
the Contract Sum. Y
,.. 41. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment,
and not later than the 25th day of each calendar month, the Owner
shall make a progress payment to the Contractor on the basis of a
duly certified and approved estimate of the work performed during
the preceding calendar month under this Contract, but to insure
^— the proper performance of this Contract, the Owner shall retain
five percent (51) of the amount of each estimate until final
completion and acceptance of all work covered by this Contract:
- 23 -
Provided, that the Contractor shall submit his estimate not later
than the first day of the month; Provided, further, that the
Owner at any time after fifty percent 50A) of the work has been
completed, if it finds that satisfactory progress is being made,
may make any of the remaining progress payments in full; Pro-
vided, further, that on completion and acceptance of each
separate building, public work or other division of the Con-
tract, on which the price is stated separately in the Contract,
payment may be made in full, including retained percentages
thereon, less authorized deductions.
In preparing estimates, the material delivered on the site
and preparatory work done'may be taken into consideration.
All material and work covered by partial payments made shall
thereupon become the sole property of the Owner, but this
provision shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor
from the sole responsibility for the care and protection of
materials and work upon which payments have been made, or the
restoration of any damaged work, or as a waiver of the right of
the Owner to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the
Contract.
Owner's Right To Withhold Certain Amounts and Make Applica-
tion Thereof: The Contractor agrees that he will indemnify and
save the Owner harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful
demands of subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, mate----
rialmen and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equip-
ment, power tools and all supplies, including commissary,
incurred in the furtherance of the performance of the Contract.
The Contractor shall, at the -Owner's request, furnish satisfac-
tory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove
designated have been paid, discharged or waived. If the
Contractor fails so to do, then the Owner may, after having
served written notice on the said Contractor, either directly pay
unpaid bills of which the Owner has written notice, or withhold
from the Contractor's unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed
reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until
satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been
fully discharged, whereupon payment to the Contractor shall be
resumed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no
event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to
impose any obligations upon the Owner to either the Contractor or
his Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, the
Owner shall be deemed the agent of the Contractor, and any
payment so made by the Owner shall be considered as a payment
made under the Contract by the Owner to the Contractor, and the
Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any such payments
made in good faith.
No Certificate for a progress payment, nor any progress
payment, nor any partial or entire use or occupancy of the
project by the Owner, shall constitute an acceptance of any work
not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

The Contractor shall promptly pay each subcontractor, upon
receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the
Contractor on account of such subcontractor's work, the amount to

defects due thereto and pay for any damage to other work result-
ing 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.
61. PAYMENT WITHHELD

Application for Payment, the Architect does not issue a Certi-
ficate for Payment or notify the Contractor that he is unable to
'make representations to the Owner, as provided in Section 40
herein, or if the Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven
days after the date established in the Contract Documents any
amount certified by the Architect or awarded by arbitration, or

Owner shall pay the Contractor, in addition to the sums shown as
due by such statement or Certificate, interest thereon at the
rate of zero percent per annum, unless otherwise specified, from

submitted to arbitration at the request of either party to the
dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbitrator, otherwise,

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 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 where the -work ,is
located, 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
cosi: 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
Section 57 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A
complete itemized statement of the Contract accounts,
certified by the Owner's Representative as being correct,
shall then be prepared and delivered to the 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 sixty 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,
R— and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials
or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof,
together with an itemized list of such equipment and
materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety
at the respective addresses designated in this Contract;
provided, however, that actual written notice given in any
manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other
giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the
risk of the Contractor and his Surety, subject only to the
duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such
property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said
notice, the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools,
materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from
such sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety.
Such sale may be made at either public or private sale, with
or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shal-1
release to the proper owners any machinery, equipment,
tools, materials or supplies which remain on the job site
and belong to persons other than the Contractor of his
Surety.
66. 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 equip-
ment, 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 Architect shall make an estimate of the
total amount earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall
include the value of all work actually completed by said Con-
tractor at the prices stated in the attached proposal, the value
of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price,
and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed
upon, or provided for by the terms of this Contract, and a
reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the
Contractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which
cannot be utilized. The Architect 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
37
Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner's Representative.
If the Owner's Representative finds the statement to be satis-
factory, he shall submit it 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 s -aid final
statement as due the Contractor under the terms of this Agree-
ment.

Contractor arising out of the nature of the work to be done, or

Federal Labor Standards Provisions U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development
Applicability
The Project or Program to which the construction work covered by this
contract pertains is being assisted by the United States of America and the
following Federal Labor Standards Provisions are included in this Contract
pursuant to the provisions applicable to such Federal assistance.
A. 1. (i) Minimum Wages. All laborers and mechanics employed or work-
ing upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of
1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development
of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a
week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except
such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the full amount
of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at
time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the
wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and
made a part hereof, regardless of any contractural relationship which may
be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and
mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona
fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf
of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR-5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular
contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but
not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover
the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or
incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate
and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR
Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classifica-
tion for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's pay-
roll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in
which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional
classification and wage rates conformed under 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and
the Davis -Bacon poster (WH -1321) shall be posted at all times by the con-
tractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and
accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii) (a) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the
wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall
be classified in conformance with the wage determination. HUD shall
approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits
therefore only when the following criteria have been met
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not
performed by a classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction
industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe bene-
fits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the
wage determination.
(b) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed
in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and HUD or its
designee agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action
taken shall be sent by HUD or its designee to the Administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classifi-
cation action within 30 days of receipt and so advise HUD or its designee
or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30 -day period that additional
time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under OMB control number 1215-0140.)
(c) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be
employed in the classification or their representatives, and HUD or its
designee do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate),
i r
HUD or its designee shall refer the questions, including the views of all
interested parties and the recommendation of HUD or its designee, to the
Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized repre-
sentative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise
HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30 -day
period that additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Man-
agement and Budget under OMB Control Number 1215-0140.)
(d) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate)
determined pursuant to subparagraphs (1)(b) or (c) of this paragraph, shall
be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this con-
tract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a
class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not
expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as
stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe
benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third
person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or
mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing
bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the
Secretary of labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor,
that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The
Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate
account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
(Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control
Number 1215-0140.)
2. Withholding. HUD or its designee shall upon its own action or upon
written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor
withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or
any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other
Federally -assisted contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage
requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor so much of the
accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay
laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees and helpers,
employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages
required by the contract In the event of failure to pay any laborer or
mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee or helper, employed or working
on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or
under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the
project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, HUD or its desig-
nee may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner,
take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any
further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have
ceased. HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor, dis-
burse such amounts withheld for and on account of the contractor or sub-
contractor to the respective employees to whom they are due. The Comp-
troller General shall make such disbursements in the case of direct
Davis -Bacon Act contracts.
3. (i) Payrolls and basic records. Payrolls and basic records relating
thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work
preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States,
Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction
or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name,
address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her cor-
rect classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contribu-
tions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents
thereof of the types described in Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -b con Act),
daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual
wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5
(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of
any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or pro-
gram described in Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor
shall maintain records which show"fhat the commitment to provide such

DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION
1. CONCRETE
This item shall consist of Portland Cement and shall be con-
structed of Class A concrete. Included in the sidewalk con-
struction is the subgrade preparation and the filling and
shaping of the area behind the curb.
Concrete Mixing and Placing
The aggregates, mineral filler if required, cement and
water shall be measured separately, introduced into the
mixer, and mixed for a period of not less than 50 seconds
nor more than 90 seconds, measured from the time the last
aggregate enters the drum to the time discharge of the
concrete begins. The re
into the mixing drum duringedthe tfirst er a15 secondsll be ofmixing. The entire contents of the drum shall be
-- discharged before any materials of the succeeding batch
are introduced.
The Engineer may increase the minimum mixing time to that
�- necessaryto
produce thoroughly mixed concrete based on
inspection or appropriate uniformity tests. The mixing
time may be varied at any time necessary to produce
acceptable concrete.
If Ready -Mix concrete is used, the concrete shall be
-. discharged into the specified hauling equipment and
delivered to the road site. If truck agitators are used,
the concrete shall be continuously agitated at not less
than one nor more than six RPM as directed by the
Engineer.
The initial batch of concrete mixed after each time the
mixer is washed out shall be enriched by additional
mortar. The additional mortar shall be one sack of cement
and three parts of sand.
2. Placing
Any concrete not placed as herein prescribed within 30
minutes after mixing shall be rejected and disposed of as
directed except as provided otherwise herein. Except by
D-1
specific written authorization of the Engineer, concrete
shall not be placed when the temperature is below 400F,
the temperature being taken in the shade and away from
artificial heat.
When such permission is granted, the Contractor shall
furnish an approved enclosure, such as canvas -covered
framework, to enclose and protect all pavement so placed,
and shall maintain the temperature of the air surrounding
the concrete at not less than 50OF for not less than 5
days. When concrete is being placed in cold weather, other
than under the conditions stated above, the Contractor
shall have available a sufficient supply of an approved
covering material to immediately protect concrete if the
air temperature falls to 320F, or below, before concrete
has been placed 4 hours. Such protection shall remain in
place during the period the temperature continues below
320F or for a period of not more than 5 days. Neither salt
nor other chemical admixtures shall be added to the
concrete to prevent freezing. The Contractor shall be
responsible for the quality and strength of concrete under
cold weather conditions and any concrete damage by
freezing shall be removed and replaced at his expense.
Concrete shall not be placed before sunrise and shall not
be placed later than will permit the finishing of the
pavement during sufficient natural light.
Concrete shall be placed only on approved subgrade or sub-
base, and unless otherwise indicated on plans, the full
width of the pavement shall be constructed monolithically.
The concrete shall be deposited on the subgrade or sub-
base in such manner as to require as little rehandling as
possible. Where hand spreading is necessary, concrete
shall be distributed to the required depth by use of
shovels. The use of rakes will not be permitted. Workmen
will not be permitted to walk in the concrete with any
earth or foreign material on their boots or shoes. The
placing of concrete shall be rapid and continuous.
Concrete shall be distributed to such depth that when
consolidated and finished, the slab thickness required by
plans will be obtained at all points and the surface shall
not, at any point, be below the established grade. Special
care shall be exercised in placing and spreading concrete
against forms and at all joints to prevent the forming of
honeycombs and voids.
If in the opinion of the Engineer, the temperature, wind
and/or humidity conditions are such that the quality of
the concrete will not be adversely affected, the specified
placing time may be extended to a maximum of 45 minutes.
D-2
3. Reinforcing Steel
All reinforcing steel, including steel wire fabric
reinforcement, tie bars, and dowel bars shall be
accurately placed and secured in position in accordance
with details shown on plans. Reinforcing bars shall be
securely wired together at alternate intersections,
following a pattern approved by the Engineer, and at all
r-- splices, and shall be securely wired to each dowel
intersected. When wire fabric is used, it shall be
securely wired together at all splices and to each dowel
intersected. Tie bars shall be installed in the required
position by the method and device shown on plans or by
approved method and device equivalent thereto.
Tightly adhered scale or rust which resists removal by
vigorous wire brushing need not be removed except that
excessive loss of section to the reinforcement due to rust
shall be cause for rejection. Excessive loss of section
shall be defined as loss of section to the extent that the
reinforcement will no longer meet the physical
requirements for the size and grade of steel specified.
Where plans require an assembly of parts at pavement
joints, the assembly shall be completed, placed at
a-- required location and elevation, and all parts rigidly
secured in required position by the method and devices
shown on plans. Dowel bars shall be accurately installed
in joint assemblies in accordance with plans, each
parallel to the pavement surface and to the center line of
the pavement, and shall be rigidly secured in required
Position by such means (as shown on plans) that will
prevent their displacement during placing and finishing of
the concrete.
4. Joints
When the placing of concrete is stopped, a bulkhead of
sufficient cross sectional area to prevent deflection,
accurately notched to,receive the load transmission
devices or dowels if required, and shaped accurately to
the cross section of the pavement shall be provided and
installed as a back-up for the joint filler and rigidly
secured in required position to permit accurate finishing
of the concrete up to the joint. After concrete has been
finished to the joint, formation of the joint seal space
and finishing of the joint shall be executed. The back-up
bulkhead shall remain in place until immediately prior to
the time when concrete placing is resumed, when it shall
be carefully removed in such manner that no element of the
D-3
5.
IM
joint assembly will be disturbed. The exposed portion of
the joint assembly shall be free of adherent concrete,
dirt or other material at the time placing of concrete is
resumed.
If necessary for proper installation of joint sealer,
excessive spalling of the joint groove shall be repaired
to the satisfaction of the Engineer in the manner which he
prescribes.
Careful workmanship shall be exercised in the construction
of all joints to insure that the concrete sections are
completely separated by an open joint or by the joint
materials and to insure that the joints will be true to
the outline indicated.
Weakened Plane Joints
Weakened plane joints shall consist of transverse
contraction joints and longitudinal joints and shall be
sawed as specified on the plans or as directed by the
Engineer. When the joints are sawed, the saw shall be
power driven, shall be manufactured especially for the
purpose of sawing concrete, and shall be capable of
performing the work. Saw blades shall be designed to make
a clean smooth cut having a width and depth of cut as
detailed on the plans. Tracks adequately anchored, chalk,
string line or other approved methods shall be used to
provide true alignment of the joints. The concrete saw
shall be maintained in good operating condition and the
Contractor shall keep a stand-by power saw on the project
at all times when concrete operations are under way.
If membrane curing is used, the portion of the seal which
has been disturbed by sawing operations shall be restored
by the Contractor by spraying the area with additional
curing seal.
Contraction Joints
Transverse contraction joints shall be formed or sawed
joints perpendicular to the centerline and surface of the
pavement. Where sawed joints are used, contraction joints
at approximately 10 to 15 -foot intervals shall be sawed as
soon as sawing can be accomplished without damage to the
pavement and before 12 hours after the concrete has been
placed, the exact time to be approved by the Engineer. The
remaining contraction joints shall be sawed in a uniform
D-4
pattern as directed by the Engineer, and they shall be
completed before uncontrolled cracking of the pavement
takes place. All
joints shall be completed before
permitting traffic to use the pavement.
�- 7. Lonaitudinal Joints
Longitudinal joints shall be sawed within two days after
construction of the pavement. Sawing shall not cause
damage to the pavement and the grooves shall be cut with a
minimum of spalling. No traffic (including construction
traffic) shall be permitted on the pavement until the
longitudinal joint is cut.
8. Joint Sealers
After the joints in the hardened concrete have been
repaired (if necessary) and cleaned to the satisfaction of
the Engineer, the joints will be filled with the W.R.
Meadows SOF-SEAL. After the sealant is installed it will
effectively seal the joints against water, dirt and stones
- throughout repeated cycles of expansion and contraction.
9. Asphalt Board
Premolded materials, wherever used, shall be anchored to
the concrete on one side of the joint by means of copper
wire or nails not lighter than No. 12 B&S gage. Such
anchorage shall be sufficient to overcome the tendency of
the material to fall out of the -joint.

D. Concrete Materials Test
Pre -Construction Tests
�-- The contractor will submit test certificates from an
approved commercial laboratory on all aggregates
for use on this work. Tests should be madea proposed
20 days before beginning the concrete operation.
The contractor will submit in advance of construction the
mix design and the result of compression tests made by a
commercial laboratory. These will be made on each t
ype
concrete mix design proposed for use on this project. of
Tests shall be made on 6 cylinders for each mix, 3 tested
in 3 or 7 days, 3 tested at 7 or 28 days. Additional tests
shall be furnished if material source is changed or if
concrete used varies from the original design.
The Engineer shall approve the mix design after the pre -
construction tests have been completed.
Construction Tests
Tests of the aggregates and the concrete will be made by
the Engineer during construction to determine conformity
with the specifications. Test cylinders will be made in
accordance with the Method of Making and Curing Concrete
Compression and Flexure Test Specimens in the Field (ASTM
Designation C-31). The specimens shall be cured under
standard moisture and temperature conditions in accordance
with requirements of ASTM C-31.
Strength tests shall be made, in general, for each day's
- run, or for each 50 cubic yards of concrete if a day's run
greatly exceeds this amount, but these tests may be made
entirely at the discretion of the Engineer. Strength tests
on Class "C" Concrete shall be made for approximately each
30 cubic yards, or every third truck on each day's run. The
M-2
costs of all such testing will be borne by the City but the
Contractor shall cooperate in securing and storing samples
and shall furnish all materials required for sampling.
A strength test shall consist of five standard test
cylinders made from a composite sample obtained in
accordance with the requirements of ASTM Designation C-172.
Two of the cylinders shall be tested at 3 or 7 days and at
7 or 28 days. The fifth cylinder shall be held available
for subsequent testing, if determined necessary by the
Engineer. The test result shall be the average of the two 7
or 28 day specimens, except that, if one specimen in the
test shows manifest evidence of improper sampling, molding,
or testing, it shall be discarded and the remaining two
strengths averaged. Should more than one specimen
representing a given test show definite defects, due to
improper sampling, molding or testing, the entire test
shall be discarded.
The result of the 7 or 28 day strength tests shall be used
as the basis for accepting or rejecting the concrete
represented.
The results of the 3 or 7 day strength tests will be
compared with the 3 or 7 day strength of the
preconstruction test cylinders for the type and slump of
the concrete being produced. Should the.3 or 7 day
strengths indicate a deficiency in the 7 or 28 day
strengths, the Engineer may require a temporary change in
proportions to correct such deficiency. Such change shall
remain in effect until the 7 or 28 day strength of the
material in question is determined, at which time the
change shall become permanent or shall be rescinded,
depending upon the results of the 7 or 28 day test.
The engineer shall record
the concrete and the exact
each load represented by a
E. Concrete Design
