CT6R
In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuase to resume work
within ten (10) days after written' notification from the Owmer or the Owner's
Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with t --he orders of the
owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent wit --b this contract,
this Agreement, or the Specifications hereto attached, theni the Surety on the
bond shall be notified in writing and directed to complete ;the work and a copy
of said notice shall be delivered to the Contractor.
After receiving said notice'of'aban1. donment, the Contraictor shall not
remove from the work any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies
then on the job, but the same, together with any materials a.nd equipment under
the contract for work, may be held for use on the work by tihe Owner or the
Surety of the Contractor, or another contractor, in completion of the work;
and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit trherefore (except
when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall, be allowed as
provided for under paragraph 24 of this contract); it being., understood that
the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately rediuce the cost to
complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.:
In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance swith the notice for
completion hereinbefore provided for, within ten (10) days wafter service of
such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion of r`he work in either
.of the following elective manners:
(a) The owner may employ such force of men and u -se of machinery,
equipment, tools, materials and supplies as said owner:- may deem necessary
to complete the work and charge the expense of such lalbor, machinery,
equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said Contrractor, and the
expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the Oiwner 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 paya3ble under this
contract, if the same had been completed by the Contracetor, then said
Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such,; 'expense is greater
than the sum which would have been payable under this ccontract, if the
same had been completed by said Contractor, then the Uontractor and/or
his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the M neer; or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice psublished as required
by law, at least twice in a newspaper having a general'.. circulation in the
County of location of the work, may let the contract f;.or the completion
of the work under substantially the same terms and conriditions which are
provided in this contract. In case of any increase i-ai cost to the owner
under the new contract as compared to what would have :been the cost under
this contract, such increase shall be charged to the Clontractor and the
Surety shall be and remain bound therefore. However, :should the cost to
complete any such new contractproveto be less than t3rhat which would
have been the cost to complete the work under this contract, the Con-
tractor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Con-
tractor and his Surety shall be so notified and certificates of completion
and acceptance, as provided in paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shall
be issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts,
certified to be the Owner's Representative as being correct shall then be
prepared and delivered to Contractor and his Surety, whereon the Contractor
or his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be, shall pay the 11 balance due
as reflected by said statement within 31 days after the date of
certificate of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to com-
plete the work is less than that 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, equip-
ment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be
turned over to the Contractor and/or his Surety." Should the cost to
complete the work exceed the contract price, and the Contractor and/or
his Surety fail to _pay the amount due the Owner within the time designated
hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment,' tools, materials
or supplies on thesiteof 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
shall release any machinery, equipment, -tools, materials, or supplies
which remain on the jbbsite and belong to persons other than the Con-
tractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.`
50. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract,
and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms within ten (10) days after
written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or
wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and
equipment, and all materials on the ground that have not been included in
payments to the Contractor and have not been incorporated into the work.
Thereupon, the Owner's Representative shall make an estimate of the total
amount earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the value of all
work actually completed by said Contractor at the prices stated in the attached
proposal, the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable
price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon,
or provided for bythe terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover
the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the whole work to'
` completion, and which cannot be utilized. The Owner's Representative shall
t�-19
then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting
from the above estimate all previous paynents by the Owner and all other sums
that may be retained by the Owner under :tee terms of this Agreement, and shall
certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty
(30) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance
shown by said final statement as due the --ontractor, under the terms of this
Agreement.

DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION PIPE LINES
2.5 Subgrade
Trenching `equipmen: may be used to"excavate to the approximate flow
line of the pipe-6r the 'required di's tance'below 'the pipe"barrel where
+ gravel or'concrete embedment is required. The"remainder of the excava-
tion and preparation of the bedding for the pipe shall be accomplished
with handtools. All loose material shall be removed from the trench`
bottom before preparation for bedding begins.
The trench bottom or bedding shall be accurately shaped and graded
in such"a manner that the pipe, when laid thereon, will'be in contin-
uous'and uniform contact with the solid trench bottom, or embedment
where required, for the entire length of the pipe barrel. Batter
boards or laser beam may be used to accurately grade the trench bottom
to the grades established by the Engineer.
The subgrade shall be so graded and levelled that the spigot end of the
;pipe will be accurately centered in the bell of the adjacent pipe when
laid without raising the pipe off the trench bottom. The original pre-
paration of the subgrade prior to pipe installation shall be sufficiently
accurate to require a minimum of subgrade adjustments after installation
'has begun.
All locations where the subgrade material becomes unstable or mucky because
of ground or surface water, and where rock or other unyielding materials
i are encountered in the bottom of the trench, the 'Contractor'will'be re-
° quired to remove said material to a depth of not less than three inches
(3") below the elevation of the pipe subgrade over the entire width of
the trench and shall replace with granular material conforming to the
specifications for gravel for pipe embedment as stated herein.. Such
'materials shall be thoroughly compacted over the entire trench width to
the grade established for the bottom of the pipe.
`All ,locations where the trench excavation is deeper than called for by
field measurement, the Contractor shall 'replace the excessive excavated
materials with granular material conforming to the specifications for
pipe embedment as stated herein. Such materials shall be thoroughly
;compacted over the entire trench width to the grade established for the
bottom of the pipe.
2.6 Bell`-Holes
Each bell hole shall be excavated by the "pipe layer immediately prior
to the placing of the pipe in the trench Bell holes shall be of suf
icient depth to prevent the pipe bell from being in contact with the
trench bottom and shall provide sufficient space for the completion of
the joint. Bell holes shall not be longer than one-fourth `(1/4) of the
length'of the pipe barrel.'

2.6
Bell Holes`
Each bell hole shall be excavated by the pipe layer immediately prior to
the placing of the pipe in the trench. Bell holes shall be of sufficient
depthprevent the pipe bell from being in contact with the trench bot-
tom and shall provide sufficient space for the completion of the joint.
Bell holes shall not be longer than one-fourth (1/4) of the length of the
pipe barrel.
2.7
Bracing and Sheeting of the Trench
The Contractor shall provide all necessary bracing and sheeting when
necessary to prevent caving. In the event the,Engineer requires such
bracing or sheeting to remain in place in the trench after same is
backfilled, then in such event the cost of such materials shall be
paid by Owner to Contractor at the current prices for the materials
used.
2.$
Protection of Property
The Contractor shall take all precautions necessary for protecting private
property (trees, shrubs, lawns, gas meters, utility lines, etc.), curbs,
sidewalks, power poles and street paving from being damaged by the trench-
ing or backfilling operations. Any damage that occurs as a result of the

Where rock is encountered in the excavation required herein to install the
pipe as directed by the Engineer, the Contractor may request written per-
mission from the Engineer to use explosives as outlined in Section 1.
2.10
Tunnel Excavation
Tunnel sections shall provide adequate clearance for the pipe to insure
proper'`grading and alignment. Concrete grout shall be forced along the
entire length of the tunnel in such a manner as to insure complete filling
of the void space between the outside of the pipe and the tunnel walls.
2.11
Ground Water
Water shall be removed from the trench before final grading of the bedding
foundation, and the trench shall be kept dry during all phases of, pipe
installation. The Contractor shall be responsible_ for pumping and remov-
ing water from the trench and the cost thereof shall be included in the

gress of the work and any material found to be defective will be
rejected and the Contractor shall remove such defective material from
the site of the work.
The Contractor shall be responsible for all materials furnished by him
and he shall replace at his own expense "all such material that is found
to be defective in manufacture or has been damaged in handling after
delivery.
3.2 Pipe Laying
After the trench has been properly fine graded, the pipe shall be laid
in accordance with the following specifications. Each length of pipe
shall be inspected for defects and shall be thoroughly cleaned before
being lowered into the trench. Pipe laying shall proceed up -grade with
the spigot ends pointing in the direction of flow. All.pipe shall be
laid true to the lines and grades as establihed by the Engineer,.batter
boards or laser beam shall be used and each length of pipe set to grade.
Bell holes shall be dug at each joint of sufficient depth to allow the
s entire length of the barrel of the pipe to rest on the bottom of the
trench and to allow ample space for properly jointing the pipe.
The jointing shall be completed for all pipe laid each day, in order
not to leave open joints in the trench overnight. At times when pipe
laying is not in progress, then open ends of the pipe shall be properly
Plugged. No pipe shall be laid in water, or when trench conditions or
weather is unsuitable for such work. If the pipe is disturbed from
line and grade after being laid, the pipe shall be removed from trench,
the joints cleaned and the pipe relaid.
4. BACKFILLING
Backfilling of the trench shall be done as soon as practicable after com-
pletion of the laying and jointing of the pipe as specified herein.
4.1 Backfilling Above Pipe
The backf ll shalh bewith select excavated material in 6 inch to 12
inch layers and compacted to 95% Standard Proctor Density. The moist-
ure content shall be attained by prewetting and thoroughly mixing
before applying appropriate layers to accomplish desired compaction.
After completion of the backfill, all surplus material shall be loaded
and wasted at the Contractor's expense, at locations approved by the
Engineer. The site shall be leveled and made ready for use as soon
_...
