ARTICLE 4 - AVAILABILITY OF LANDS;
SUBSURFACE AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS;
REFERENCE POINTS
4.01 Availability of Lands
A. OWNER shail furnish the Site. OWNER shail
notify CONTRACTOR of any encumbrances or
restrictions not of general application but specifically
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
related to use of the Site with which CONTRACTOR
must comply in performing the Work. OWNER will
obtain in a timely manner and pay for easements for
permanent structures or permanent changes in existing
facilities. I CONTRACTOR and OWNER are unable to
agree on entitlement to or on the amount or extent, ifany,
of any adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract
Times, or both, as a result of any delay in OWNER’s
furnishing the Site, CONTRACTOR may make a Claim
therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
B. CONTRACTOR shail provide for all additional
lands and access thereto that may be required for
temporary construction facilities or storage of materials
and equipment.
4.02. Subsurface and Physical Conditions
A. Reports and Drawings: The Supplementary
Conditions identify:
1. those reports of explorations and tests of
subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Site that
ENGINEER has used in preparing the Contract
Documents; and
2. those drawings of physical conditions in or
relating to existing surface or subsurface structures at
or contiguous to the Site (except Underground
Facilities) that ENGINEER has used in preparing the
Contract Documents.
B. Limited Reliance by CONTRACTOR on
Technical Data Authorized) CONTRACTOR may rely
upon the general accuracy of the “technical data”
contained in such reports and drawings, but such reports
and drawings are not Contract Documents. Such “techni-
cal data” is identified in the Supplementary Conditions.
Except for such reliance on such “technical data,”
CONTRACTOR may not rely upon or make any Claim
against OWNER, ENGINEER, or any of ENGINEER’s
Consultants with respect to:
1. the completeness of such reports and
drawings for CONTRACTOR’s purposes, including,
but not limited to, any aspects of the means, methods,
techniques, sequences, and procedures of
construction to be employed by CONTRACTOR, and
safety precautions and programs incident thereto; or
2. other data, interpretations, opinions, and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
GENERAL CONDITIONS

GENERAL CONDITIONS
3. any CONTRACTOR interpretation of or
conclusion drawn from any "technical data" or any
such other data, interpretations, opinions, or infor-
mation.
4.03 Differing Subsurface or Physical Conditions
A. Notice: If CONTRACTOR believes that any
subsurface or physical condition at or contiguous to the
Site that is uncovered or revealed either:
1. is of such a nature as to establish that any
“technical data” on which CONTRACTOR is entitled
to rely as provided in paragraph 4.02 is materially
inaccurate; or
2. is of such a nature as to require a change in
the Contract Documents; or
3. differs materially from that shown or
indicated in the Contract Documents; or
4. is ofan unusual nature, and differs materially
from conditions ordinarily encountered and generally
recognized as inherent in work of the character
provided for in the Contract Documents;
then CONTRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming
aware thereof and before further disturbing the
subsurface or physical conditions or performing any
Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency as
required by paragraph 6.16.A), notify OWNER and
ENGINEER in writing about such condition.
CONTRACTOR shall not further disturb such condition
or perform any Work in connection therewith (except as
aforesaid) until receipt of written order to do so.
B. ENGINEER's Review: After receipt of written
notice as required by paragraph 4.03.A, ENGINEER will
promptly review the pertinent condition, determine the
necessity of OWNER's obtaining additional exploration
or tests with respect thereto, and advise OWNER in
writing (with a copy to CONTRACTOR) of
ENGINEER’s findings and conclusions.
C. Possible Price and Times Adjustments
1. The Contract Price or the Contract Times,
or both, will be equitably adjusted to the extent that
the existence of such differing subsurface or physical
condition causes an increase or decrease in
CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or time required for,
performance of the Work; subject, however, to the
following:
a. such condition must meet any one or
more of the categories described in paragraph
4.03.A; and
b. with respect to Work that is paid for on
a Unit Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract
Price will be subject to the provisions of para-
graphs 9.08 and 11.03.
2. CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times iff
a. CONTRACTOR knew of the existence
of such conditions at the time CONTRACTOR
made a final commitment to OWNER in respect
of Contract Price and Contract Times by the
submission of a Bid or becoming bound under a
negotiated contract; or
b. the existence of such condition could
reasonably have been discovered or revealed as a
result of any examination, investigation, explo-
ration, test, or study of the Site and contiguous
areas required by the Bidding Requirements or
Contract Documents to be conducted by or for
CONTRACTOR prior to CONTRACTOR's
making such final commitment; or
c. CONTRACTOR failed to give the
written notice within the time and as required by
paragraph 4.03.A.
3. IfOWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable
to agree on entitlement to or on the amount or extent,
if any, of any adjustment in the Contract Price or
Contract Times, or both, a Claim may be made
therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05. However,
OWNER, ENGINEER, and ENGINEER’s
Consultants shall not be liable to CONTRACTOR for
any claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all
court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
sustained by CONTRACTOR on or in connection
with any other project or anticipated project.

reasonable accuracy in the Contract Documents,
CONTRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming
aware thereof and before further disturbing conditions
affected thereby or performing any Work in
connection therewith (except in an emergency as
required by paragraph 6.16.A), identify the owner of
such Underground Facility and give written notice to
that owner and to OWNER and ENGINEER.
ENGINEER will promptly review the Underground
Facility and determine the extent, if any, to which a
change is required in the Contract Documents to
reflect and document the consequences of the
existence or location of the Underground Facility.
During such time, CONTRACTOR shall be
responsible for the safety and protection of the
underground facility.
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
2. If ENGINEER concludes that a change in
the Contract Documents is required, a Work Change
Directive or a Change Order will be issued to reflect
and document such consequences. An equitable
adjustment shall be made in the Contract Price or
Contract Times, or both, to the extent that they are
attributable to the existence or location of any
Underground Facility that was not shown or indicated
or not shown with reasonable accuracy in the
Contract Documents and that CONTRACTOR did
not know of and could not reasonably have been
expected to be aware of or to have anticipated. If
OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree on
entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of
any such adjustment in Contract Price or Contract
Times, OWNER or CONTRACTOR may make a
Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.

C. CONTRACTOR shall not be responsible for any
Hazardous Environmental Condition uncovered or re-
vealed at the Site which was not shown or indicated in
Drawings or Specifications or identified in the Contract
Documents to be within the scope of the Work.
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for a Hazardous
Environmental Condition created with any materials
brought to the Site by CONTRACTOR, Subcontractors,
Suppliers, or anyone else for whom CONTRACTOR is
responsible.
D. If CONTRACTOR encounters a Hazardous
Environmental Condition or if CONTRACTOR or
anyone for whom CONTRACTOR is responsible creates
a Hazardous Environmental Condition, CONTRACTOR
shall immediately: (i) secure or otherwise isolate such
condition; (ii) stop all Work in connection with such
condition and in any area affected thereby (except in an
emergency as required by paragraph 6.16); and (iii)
notify OWNER and ENGINEER (and promptly
thereafter confirm such notice in writing). OWNER shall
promptly consult with ENGINEER concerning the
necessity for OWNER to retain a qualified expert to
evaluate such condition or take corrective action, if any.
E. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to resume
Work in connection with such condition or in any
affected area until after OWNER has obtained any
required permits related thereto and delivered to
CONTRACTOR written notice: (i) specifying that such
condition and any affected area is or has been rendered
safe for the resumption of Work; or (ii) specifying any
special conditions under which such Work may be re-
sumed safely. If OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot
agree as to entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if
any, of any adjustment in Contract Price or Contract

6.05 Substitutes and “Or-Equals”
A. Whenever an item of material or equipment is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by
GENERAL CONDITIONS
OKALOOSA COUNTY WATER AND SEWER
DATE: 5/13/2012
00700-19
SECTION 00700
GENERAL CONDITIONS
using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a
particular Supplier, the specification or description is
intended to establish the type, function, appearance, and
quality required. Unless the specification or description
contains or is followed by words reading that no like,
equivalent, or “or-equal” item or no substitution is
permitted, other items of material or equipment or
material or equipment of other Suppliers may be
submitted to ENGINEER for review under the circum-
stances described below.
I. “Or-Equal” Items: Uf, in ENGINEER’s sole
discretion, an item of material or equipment proposed
by CONTRACTOR is functionally equal to that
named and sufficiently similar so that no change in
related Work will be required, it may be considered
by ENGINEER as an “or-equal” item, in which case
review and approval of the proposed item may, in
ENGINEER’s sole discretion, be accomplished
without compliance with some or all of the require-
ments for approval of proposed substitute items. For
the purposes of this paragraph 6.05.A.1, a proposed
item of material or equipment will be considered
functionally equal to an item so named if
a. In the exercise of reasonable judgment
ENGINEER determines that: (i) it is at least
equal in quality, durability, appearance, strength,
and design characteristics; (ii) it will reliably
perform at least equally well the function
imposed by the design concept of the completed
Project as a _ functioning whole; and
CONTRACTOR;
b. Certifies that: (i) there is no increase in
cost to the OWNER; and (ii) it will conform
substantially, even with deviations, to the
detailed requirements of the item named in the
Contract Documents.
2. Substitute Items
a. If, in ENGINEER’s sole discretion, an
item of material or equipment proposed by
CONTRACTOR does not qualify as an
“or-equal” item under paragraph 6.05.A.1, it will
be considered a proposed substitute item.
b. CONTRACTOR shall submit sufficient
information as provided below to allow
ENGINEER to determine that the item of
material or equipment proposed is essentially
equivalent to that named and an acceptable
substitute therefor. Requests for review of
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
proposed substitute items of material or
equipment will not be accepted by ENGINEER
from anyone other than CONTRACTOR.
c. The procedure for review by
ENGINEER will be as set forth in paragraph
6.05.A.2.d, as supplemented in the General
Requirements and as ENGINEER may decide is
appropriate under the circumstances.
d. CONTRACTOR shall first make
written application to ENGINEER for review of
a proposed substitute item of material or
equipment that CONTRACTOR seeks to furnish
or use. The application shall certify that the
proposed substitute item will perform adequately
the functions and achieve the results called for by
the general design, be similar in substance to that
specified, and be suited to the same use as that
specified. The application will state the extent, if
any, to which the use of the proposed substitute
item will prejudice CONTRACTOR’s
achievement of Substantial Completion on time,
whether or not use of the proposed substitute
item in the Work will require a change in any of
the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of
any other direct contract with OWNER for work
on the Project) to adapt the design to the
proposed substitute item and whether or not
incorporation or use of the proposed substitute
item in connection with the Work is subject to
payment of any license fee or royalty. All
variations of the proposed substitute item from
that specified will be identified in the application,
and available engineering, sales, maintenance,
repair, and replacement services will be
indicated. The application will also contain an
itemized estimate of all costs or credits that will
result directly or indirectly from use of such
substitute item, including costs of redesign and
claims of other contractors affected by any
resulting change, all of which will be considered
by ENGINEER in evaluating the proposed
substitute item. ENGINEER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish additional data about
the proposed substitute item.
B. Substitute Construction Methods or Procedures:
If a specific means, method, technique, sequence, or
procedure of construction is shown or indicated in and
expressly required by the Contract Documents,
CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute
means, method, technique, sequence, or procedure of
construction approved by ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR
GENERAL CONDITIONS
OKALOOSA COUNTY WATER AND SEWER
DATE: 5/13/2012
00700-20
SECTION 00700
GENERAL CONDITIONS
shall submit sufficient information to allow ENGINEER,
in ENGINEER’s sole discretion, to determine that the
substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly called
for by the Contract Documents. The procedure for
review by ENGINEER will be similar to that provided in
subparagraph 6.05.A.2.
C. Engineer’s Evaluation: ENGINEER will be
allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each
proposal or submittal made pursuant to paragraphs
6.05.A and 6.05.B. ENGINEER will be the sole judge of
acceptability. No “or-equal” or substitute will be or-
dered, installed or utilized until ENGINEER’s review is
complete, which will be evidenced by either a Change
Order for a substitute or an approved Shop Drawing for
an “or equal.” ENGINEER will advise CONTRACTOR
in writing of any negative determination.
D. Special Guarantee; OWNER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR’s ex-
pense a special performance guarantee or other surety
with respect to any substitute.
E. ENGINEER’s Cost Reimbursement:
ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER
and ENGINEER’s Consultants in evaluating substitute
proposed or submitted by CONTRACTOR pursuant to
paragraphs 6.05.A.2 and 6.05.B and in making changes
in the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any
other direct contract with OWNER for work on the
Project) occasioned thereby. Whether or not
ENGINEER approves a substitute item so proposed or
submitted by CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall
reimburse OWNER for the charges of ENGINEER and
ENGINEER’s Consultants for evaluating each such
proposed substitute.
F. CONTRACTOR’s Expense: CONTRACTOR
shall provide all data in support of any proposed
substitute or “or-equal” at CONTRACTOR’s expense.
6.06 Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers, and
Others
A. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcon-
tractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity (including
those acceptable to OWNER as indicated in paragraph
6.06.B), whether initially or as a replacement, against
whom OWNER may have reasonable objection.
CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity to
furnish or perform any of the Work against whom
CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
B. If the Supplementary Conditions require the
identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other
individuals or entities to be submitted to OWNER in
advance for acceptance by OWNER by a specified date
prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement, and if
CONTRACTOR has submitted a list thereof in accor-
dance with the Supplementary Conditions, OWNER’s
acceptance (either in writing or by failing to make written
objection thereto by the date indicated for acceptance or
objection in the Bidding Documents or the Contract
Documents) ofany such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other
individual or entity so identified may be revoked on the
basis of reasonable objection after due investigation.
CONTRACTOR shall submit an acceptable replacement
for the rejected Subcontractor, Supplier, or other
individual or entity, and the Contract Price will be
adjusted by the difference in the cost occasioned by such
replacement, and an appropriate Change Order will be
issued or Written Amendment signed. No acceptance by
OWNER of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other
individual or entity, whether initially or as a replacement,
shall constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or
ENGINEER to reject defective Work.
C. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to
OWNER and ENGINEER for all acts and omissions of
the Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or
entities performing or furnishing any of the Work just as
CONTRACTOR is responsible for CON-TRACTOR’s
own acts and omissions. Nothing in the Contract
Documents shall create for the benefit of any such
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity any
contractual relationship between OWNER or ENGI-
NEER and any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other
individual or entity, nor shall it create any obligation on
the part of OWNER or ENGINEER to pay or to see to
the payment of any moneys due any such Subcontractor,
Supplier, or other individual or entity except as may
otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations.
D. CONTRACTOR shail be solely responsible for
scheduling and coordinating the Work of Subcontractors,
Suppliers, and other individuals or entities performing or
furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect
contract with CONTRACTOR.
E. CONTRACTOR shall require all Subcontractors,
Suppliers, and such other individuals or entities per-
forming or furnishing any of the Work to communicate
with ENGINEER through CONTRACTOR.

Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an appro-
priate agreement between CONTRACTOR and the
Subcontractor or Supplier which specifically binds the
Subcontractor or Supplier to the applicable terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of
OWNER and ENGINEER. Whenever any such
agreement is with a Subcontractor or Supplier who is
listed as an additional insured on the property insurance
provided in paragraph 5.06, the agreement between the
CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor or Supplier will
contain provisions whereby the Subcontractor or Supplier
waives all rights agains) OWNER, CONTRACTOR,

Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall bear all claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such Work;
however, it shall not be CONTRACTOR’s primary
responsibility to make certain that the Specifications and
Drawings are in accordance with Laws and Regulations,
but this shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of
CONTRACTOR’s obligations under paragraph 3.03.
C. Changes in Laws or Regulations not known at the
time of opening of Bids (or, on the Effective Date of the
Agreement if there were no Bids) having an effect on the
cost or time of performance of the Work may be the

D. Documentation: Whenever the Cost ofthe Work
for any purpose is to be determined pursuant to
paragraphs 11.01.A and 11.01.B, CONTRACTOR will
establish and maintain records thereof in accordance with
generally accepted accounting practices and submit in a
form acceptable to ENGINEER an itemized cost
breakdown together with supporting data.
11.02 Cash Allowances
A. Itis understood that CONTRACTOR has includ-
ed in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered
to be performed for such sums as may be acceptable to
OWNER and ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR agrees that:
1. the allowances include the cost to
CONTRACTOR (less any applicable trade discounts)
of materials and equipment required by the allowanc-
es to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes;
and
2. CONTRACTOR’s costs for unloading and
handling on the Site, labor, installation costs, over-
head, profit, and other expenses contemplated for the
allowances have been included in the Contract Price
and not in the allowances, and no demand for addi-
tional payment on account of any of the foregoing will
be valid.
B. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change
Order will be issued as recommended by ENGINEER to
reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on account
of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price
shall be correspondingly adjusted.
11.03 Unit Price Work
A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all
or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the
Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit
Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the unit price
for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work
times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in
the Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit
Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the
purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial
Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities
and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by
CONTRACTOR will be made by ENGINEER subject to
the provisions of paragraph 9.08.
B. Each unit price will be deemed to include an
amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be adequate to
cover CONTRACTOR’s overhead and profit for each
separately identified item.
C. For provisions for an adjustment of a unit price
for an increase or decrease in the quantity of Unit Price
Work, if any, see General Requirements Section 01025,
Measurement and Payment.

3. where the Work involved is not covered by
unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
agreement to a lump sum is not reached under para-
graph 12.01.B.2, on the basis of the Cost of the Work
(determined as provided in paragraph 11.01) plus a
CONTRACTOR’s fee for overhead and profit (deter-
mined as provided in paragraph 12.01.C).
C. CONTRACTOR’s Fee: The CONTRACTOR’s
fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as
follows:

to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials
or equipment, or fails to perform the Work in such a way
that the completed Work will conform to the Contract
Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop
the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such
order has been eliminated; however, this right of
OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty
on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the
benefit of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any
Supplier, any other individual or entity, or any surety for,
or employee or agent of any of them.

so provided in the Specifications or by Written Amend-
ment.
C. Where defective Work (and damage to other
Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or removed
and replaced under this paragraph 13.07, the correction
period hereunder with respect to such Work will be
extended for an additional period of one year after such
correction or removal and replacement has been
satisfactorily completed.
D. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under _ this
paragraph 13.07 are in addition to any other obligation or
warranty. The provisions of this paragraph 13.07 shall

replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to
ENGINEER’s recommendation of final payment,
ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so.

of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution

determination to accept such defective Work (such costs
to be approved by ENGINEER as to reasonableness) and
the diminished value of the Work to the extent not
otherwise paid by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this
sentence. If any such acceptance occurs prior to
ENGINEER’s recommendation of final payment, a
Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary
revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the
Work, and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished
value of Work so accepted. Ifthe parties are unable to
agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a
Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05. If the
acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an
appropriate amount will be paid by CONTRACTOR to
OWNER.
13.09 OWNER May Correct Defective Work
A. IfCONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time
after written notice from ENGINEER to correct defective
Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required
by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 13.06.A,
or if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents, or if
CONTRACTOR fails to comply with any other provision
of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven
days written notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and
remedy any such deficiency.
B. Inexercising the rights and remedies under this
paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. In
connection with such corrective and remedial action,
OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part
of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and
suspend CONTRACTOR’s services related thereto, take
possession of CONTRACTOR’s tools, appliances, con-
struction equipment and machinery at the Site, and incor-
porate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at
the Site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR
but which are stored elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall
allow OWNER, OWNER’s representatives, agents and
employees, OWNER’s other contractors, and ENGI-
NEER and ENGINEER’s Consultants access to the Site
to enable OWNER to exercise the rights and remedies
under this paragraph.
C. All Claims, costs, losses, and damages (including
but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) incurred
or sustained by OWNER in exercising the rights and
remedies under this paragraph 13.09 will be charged
against CONTRACTOR, and a Change Order will be
issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and
OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in
the Contract Price. Ifthe parties are unable to agree as to
the amount of the adjustment, OWNER may make a
Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05. Such
claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be
limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of
others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or
replacement of CONTRACTOR’s defective Work.
D. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an
extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones) because
of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable
to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER’s rights and
remedies under this paragraph 13.09.
ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND
COMPLETION
14.01 Schedule of Values
A. The schedule of values established as provided in
paragraph 2.07.A will serve as the basis for progress
payments and will be incorporated into a form of
Application for Payment acceptable to ENGINEER.
Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be
based on the number of units completed.
14.02 Progress Payments
A. Applications for Payments
1. Atleast 10 days before the date established
for each progress payment (but not more often than
once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to
ENGINEER for review an Application for Payment
filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the
Work completed as of the date of the Application and
accompanied by such supporting documentation as is
required by the Contract Documents. If payment is
requested on the basis of materials and equipment not
incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably
stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in
writing, the Application for Payment shall also be
accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other docu-
mentation warranting that OWNER has received the
materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens

and evidence that the materials and equipment are
covered by appropriate property insurance and other
arrangements to protect OWNER’s interest therein,
all of which must be satisfactory to OWNER.
2. Beginning with the second Application for
Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit
of CONTRACTOR stating that all previous progress
payments received on account of the Work have been
applied on account to discharge CONTRACTOR’s
legitimate obligations associated with prior
Applications for Payment.
3. The amount ofretainage with respect to pro-
gress payments will be as stipulated in the
Agreement.
B. Review of Applications
1. ENGINEER will, within 10 days after
receipt of each Application for Payment, either
indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and
present the Application to OWNER or return the
Application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing
ENGINEER’s reasons for refusing to recommend
payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may
make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application.
2. ENGINEER’s recommendation of any pay-
ment requested in an Application for Payment will
constitute a representation by ENGINEER to
OWNER, based on ENGINEER’s observations on
the Site of the executed Work as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's
review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of
ENGINEER’s knowledge, information and belief:
a. the Work has progressed to the point
indicated;
b. the quality of the Work is generally in
accordance with the Contract Documents (sub-
ject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning
whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion,
to the results of any subsequent tests called for in
the Contract Documents, to a final determination
of quantities and classifications for Unit Price
Work under paragraph 9.08, and to any other
qualifications stated in the recommendation); and
c. the conditions precedent to
CONTRACTOR’s being entitled to such pay-
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
ment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it
is ENGINEER’s responsibility to observe the
Work.
3. Byrecommending any such payment ENGI-
NEER will not thereby be deemed to have represent-
ed that: (i) inspections made to check the quality or
the quantity of the Work as it has been performed
have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the
Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of
the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically as-
signed to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents; or
(ii) that there may not be other matters or issues
between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC-
TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or entitle
OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.
4. Neither ENGINEER’s review of
CONTRACTOR’s Work for the purposes of recom-
mending payments nor ENGINEER’s recommenda-
tion of any payment, including final payment, will
impose responsibility on ENGINEER to supervise,
direct, or control the Work or for the means, methods,
techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction,
or the safety precautions and programs incident
thereto, or for CONTRACTOR’ failure to comply
with Laws and Regulations applicable to
CONTRACTOR’s performance of the Work.
Additionally, said review or recommendation will not
impose responsibility on ENGINEER to make any
examination to ascertain how or for what purposes
CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid on
account of the Contract Price, or to determine that
title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has
passed to OWNER free and clear of any Liens.
5. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the
whole or any part of any payment if, in ENGINEER’s
opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representa-
tions to OWNER referred to in paragraph 14.02.B.2.
ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such
payment or, because of subsequently discovered
evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or
tests, revise or revoke any such payment
recommendation previously made, to such extent as
may be necessary in ENGINEER’ s opinion to protect
OWNER from loss because:
a. the Work is defective, or completed
Work has been damaged, requiring correction or
replacement;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Written Amendment or Change Orders;

full amount recommended by ENGINEER, OWNER
must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice
(with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for
such action and promptly pay CONTRACTOR any
amount remaining after deduction of the amount so
withheld. OWNER - shall promptly pay
CONTRACTOR the amount so withheld, or any
adjustment thereto agreed to by OWNER and
CONTRACTOR, when CONTRACTOR corrects to
OWNER’s satisfaction the reasons for such action.
3. If it is subsequently determined that
OWNER’ refusal of payment was not justified, the
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
amount wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an
amount due as determined by paragraph 14.02.C.1.
14.03 CONTRACTOR’s Warranty of Title
A. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that
title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any
Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the
Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time
of payment free and clear of all Liens.
14.04 Substantial Completion
A. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire
Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall
notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire
Work is substantially complete (except for items
specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and
request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial
Completion. Promptly thereafter, OWNER, CONTRAC-
TOR, and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the
Work to determine the status of completion. If
ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially
complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in
writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER
considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER
will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate
of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of
Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the
certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have
seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during
which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any
provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after
considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that
the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will
within 14 days after submission of the tentative certificate
to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the
reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER’s
objections, ENGINEER considers the Work substantially
complete, ENGINEER will within said 14 days execute
and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive
certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected)
reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as
ENGINEER believes justified after consideration of any
objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the
tentative certificate of Substantial Completion
ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRAC-
TOR a written recommendation as to division of
responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER
and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation,
safety, and protection of the Work, maintenance, heat,
utilities, insurance, and warranties and guarantees.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in
writing and so inform ENGINEER in writing prior to
ENGINEER’s issuing the definitive certificate of
Substantial Completion, ENGINEER’s aforesaid recom-
mendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRAC-
TOR until final payment.
B. OWNER shall have the right to exclude
CONTRACTOR from the Site after the date of Substan-
tial Completion, but OWNER - shall allow
CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or

14.05 Partial Utilization
A. Use by OWNER at OWNER’s option of any
substantially completed part of the Work which has
specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or
which OWNER, ENGINEER, and CONTRACTOR
agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part
ofthe Work that can be used by OWNER for its intended
purpose without significant interference with
CONTRACTOR’ s performance of the remainder of the
Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial Com-
pletion of all the Work subject to the following condi-
tions.
1. OWNER at any time may request
CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use
any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to
be ready for its intended use and substantially
complete. If CONTRACTOR agrees that such part of
the Work is substantially complete, CONTRACTOR
will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that such
part of the Work is substantially complete and request
ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial Com-
pletion for that part of the Work. CONTRACTOR at
any time may notify OWNER and ENGINEER in
writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part
of the Work ready for its intended use and substan-
tially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a
certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of
the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such
request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and
ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of
the Work to determine its status of completion. If
ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work
to be substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify
OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the
reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part
of the Work to be substantially complete, the
provisions of paragraph 14.04 will apply with respect
to certification of Substantial Completion of that part
of the Work and the division of responsibility in
respect thereof and access thereto.

collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify
OWNER against any Lien.
B. Review of Application and Acceptance
1. If, onthe basis op ENGINEER’ s observation
of the Work during construction and final inspection,
and ENGINEER’ review of the final Application for
Payment and accompanying documentation as re-
quired by the Contract Documents, ENGINEER is
satisfied that the Work has been completed and
CONTRACTOR’s other obligations under the Con-
tract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGINEER
will, within 10 days after receipt of the final Applica-
tion for Payment, indicate in writing ENGINEER’s
recommendation of payment and present the Applica-
tion for Payment to OWNER for payment. At the

ENGINEER so confirms, OWNER shall, upon
receipt of CONTRACTOR’s final Application for
Payment and recommendation of ENGINEER, and
without terminating the Agreement, make payment of
the balance due for that portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to
be held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or
corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the
Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as
required in paragraph 5.01, the written consent of the
surety to the payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted
shall be submitted by CONTRACTOR to ENGI-
NEER with the Application for such payment. Such
payment shall be made under the terms and conditions
Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of Claims.
14.08 (Not Used)
14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of final payment will
constitute:
1. a waiver of all Claims by OWNER against
CONTRACTOR, except Claims arising from
unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after
final inspection pursuant to paragraph 14.06, from
failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the
terms of any special guarantees specified therein, or
from CONTRACTOR’s continuing obligations under
the Contract Documents; and
2. a waiver of all Claims by CONTRACTOR
against OWNER other than those previously made in
writing which are still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 - SUSPENSION OF WORK AND
TERMINATION
15.01 OWNER May Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, OWNER may
suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of
not more than 90 consecutive days by notice in writing to
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER which will fix the date
on which Work will be resumed. CONTRACTOR shall
resume the Work on the date so fixed. CONTRACTOR
shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an
extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly
attributable to any such suspension if CONTRACTOR
makes a Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
15.02 OWNER May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events will justify termination for cause:
1. CONTRACTOR’s persistent failure to per-
form the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to
supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials
or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress
schedule established under paragraph 2.07 as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to paragraph
6.04);

2. CONTRACTOR’s disregard of Laws or
Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
3. CONTRACTOR’s disregard of the authori-
ty of ENGINEER; or
4. CONTRACTOR’s violation in any
substantial way of any provisions of the Contract
Documents.
B. If one or more of the events identified in
paragraph 15.02.A occur, OWNER may, after giving
CONTRACTOR (and the surety, if any) seven days
written notice, terminate the services of CONTRACTOR,
exclude CONTRACTOR from the Site, and take
possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTOR’s
tools, appliances, construction equipment, and machinery
at the Site, and use the same to the full extent they could
be used by CONTRACTOR (without liability to
CONTRACTOR for trespass or conversion), incorporate
in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site
or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but
which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as
OWNER may deem expedient. In such case,
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is finished. Ifthe unpaid
balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
resolution costs) sustained by OWNER arising out of or
relating to completing the Work, such excess will be paid
to CONTRACTOR. If such claims, costs, losses, and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR
shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such claims, costs,
losses, and damages incurred by OWNER will be
reviewed by ENGINEER as to their reasonableness and,
when so approved by ENGINEER, incorporated in a
Change Order. When exercising any rights or remedies
under this paragraph OWNER shall not be required to
obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
C. Where CONTRACTOR’s services have been so
terminated by OWNER, the termination will not affect
any rights or remedies of OWNER against
CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter
accrue, Any retention or payment of moneys due
CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release
CONTRACTOR from liability.

in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to
the effective date of termination, including fair and
reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such
Work;
2. for expenses sustained prior to the effective
date of termination in performing services and fur-
nishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by
the Contract Documents in connection with uncom-
pleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for
overhead and profit on such expenses;
3. for all claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of

dispute resolution costs) incurred in settlement of
terminated contracts with Subcontractors, Suppliers,
and others; and
4. for reasonable expenses directly attributable
to termination.
B. CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of
loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic
loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.

Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days by
OWNER or under an order of court or other public
authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application
for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or
OWNER fails for 30 days to pay CONTRACTOR any
sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR
may, upon seven days written notice to OWNER and
ENGINEER, and provided OWNER or ENGINEER do
not remedy such suspension or failure within that time,
terminate the Contract and recover from OWNER
payment on the same terms as provided in paragraph
15.03. In lieu of terminating the Contract and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, if ENGINEER has

notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, stop the Work until
payment is made of all such amounts due

sions of this paragraph 15.04 are not intended to preclude
CONTRACTOR from making a Claim under paragraph
10.05 for an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract
Times or otherwise for expenses or damage directly
attributable to CONTRACTOR’s stopping the Work as
permitted by this paragraph.

Q.
ENGINEER will review and process all submittals promptly; a reasonable time
shall be allowed for this, for the Shop Drawings being revised and resubmitted,
and for time required to return the approved Shop Drawings to CONTRACTOR.
It is CONTRACTOR’S responsibility to review submittals made by his suppliers
and subcontractors before transmitting them to the ENGINEER to assure proper
coordination of the Work and to determine that each submittal is in accordance
with CONTRACTOR’S desires and that there is sufficient information about
materials and equipment for ENGINEER to determine compliance with the
Contract Documents. Incomplete or inadequate submittals will be returned for
revision without review.
CONTRACTOR shall furnish required submittals with complete information and
accuracy in order to achieve required approval of an item within two submittals.
OWNER reserves the right to backcharge CONTRACTOR, for ENGINEER’S
costs for resubmittals that account for a number greater than 20 percent of the
total number of first time submittals. OWNER reserves the right to backcharge
CONTRACTOR for all third submittals. The number of first time submittals
shall be equal to the number of submittals agreed to by ENGINEER and
CONTRACTOR in accordance with Section 01330.1.2.A.2. All costs to
ENGINEER involved with subsequent submittal of Shop Drawings, Samples or
other items requiring approval will be backcharged to CONTRACTOR at the rate
of 3.0 times direct technical labor cost by deducting such costs from payments
due CONTRACTOR for Work completed. In the event that CONTRACTOR
requests a substitution for a previously approved item, all of ENGINEER’S costs
in the reviewing and approval of the substitution will be backcharged to
CONTRACTOR, unless the need for such substitution is beyond the control of
CONTRACTOR.

separators to earth and to ducts to prevent floating during concreting. Stagger
separators approximately 6 inches between tiers. Tie entire assembly together
using fabric straps; do not use tie wires or reinforcing steel that may form
conductive or magnetic loops around ducts or duct groups.
Concreting Sequence: Pour each run of envelope between manholes or other
terminations in one continuous operation.
a. Start at one end and finish at the other, allowing for expansion and
contraction of ducts as their temperature changes during and after the pour.
Use expansion fittings installed according to manufacturer's written
recommendations, or use other specific measures to prevent expansion-
contraction damage.
b. If more than one pour is necessary, terminate each pour in a vertical plane
and install 3/4-inch reinforcing rod dowels extending 18 inches into
concrete on both sides of joint near corners of envelope.
Pouring Concrete: Spade concrete carefully during pours to prevent voids under
and between conduits and at exterior surface of envelope. Do not allow a heavy
mass of concrete to fall directly onto ducts. Use a plank to direct concrete down
sides of bank assembly to trench bottom. Allow concrete to flow to center of
bank and rise up in middle, uniformly filling all open spaces. Do not use power-
driven agitating equipment unless specifically designed for duct-bank application.
Reinforcement: Reinforce concrete-encased duct banks where they cross
disturbed earth and where indicated. Arrange reinforcing rods and ties without
forming conductive or magnetic loops around ducts or duct groups.
Forms: Use walls of trench to form side walls of duct bank where soil is self-
supporting and concrete envelope can be poured without soil inclusions;
otherwise, use forms.
Minimum Space between Ducts: 3 inches between ducts and exterior envelope
wall, 2 inches between ducts for like services, and 4 inches between power and
signal ducts.
Depth: Install top of duct bank at least 24 inches below finished grade in areas
not subject to deliberate traffic, and at least 30 inches below finished grade in
deliberate traffic paths for vehicles, unless otherwise indicated.
Stub-Ups: Use manufactured duct elbows for stub-ups at poles and equipment
and at building entrances through the floor, unless otherwise indicated. Extend
concrete encasement throughout the length of the elbow.

Stub-Ups: Use manufactured rigid steel conduit elbows for stub-ups at poles and
equipment and at building entrances through the floor.
a. Couple steel conduits to ducts with adapters designed for this purpose, and encase
coupling with 3 inches of concrete.
b. Stub-Ups to Equipment: For equipment mounted on outdoor concrete bases,
extend steel conduit horizontally a minimum of 60 inches from edge of base.
Install insulated grounding bushings on terminations at equipment.
Warning Tape: Bury warning tape approximately 12 inches above all concrete-
encased ducts and duct banks. Align tape parallel to and within 3 inches of the
centerline of duct bank. Provide an additional warning tape for each 12-inch
increment of duct-bank width over a nominal 18 inches. Space additional tapes
12 inches apart, horizontally.
K. Direct-Buried Duct Banks:
Support ducts on duct separators coordinated with duct size, duct spacing, and
outdoor temperature.
Space separators close enough to prevent sagging and deforming of ducts, with
not less than 4 spacers per 20 feet of duct. Secure separators to earth and to ducts
to prevent displacement during backfill and yet permit linear duct movement due
to expansion and contraction as temperature changes. Stagger spacers
approximately 6 inches between tiers.
Excavate trench bottom to provide firm and uniform support for duct bank.
Prepare trench bottoms as specified in Division 2 Section "Earthwork" for pipes
less than 6 inches in nominal diameter.
After installing first tier of ducts, backfill and compact. Start at tie-in point and
work toward end of duct run, leaving ducts at end of run free to move with
expansion and contraction as temperature changes during this process. Repeat
procedure after placing each tier. After placing last tier, hand-place backfill to 4
inches over ducts and hand tamp. Firmly tamp backfill around ducts to provide
maximum supporting strength. Use hand tamper only. After placing controlled
backfill over final tier, make final duct connections at end of run and complete
backfilling with normal compaction as specified in Division2 Section
"Earthwork."
Delete subparagraph below if dimensioned duct sections are shown on Drawings.
Install ducts with a minimum of 3 inches between ducts for like services and 6
inches between power and signal ducts.

7. Requirements in first subparagraph below exceed NFPA 70. Retain for
conservative design.
8. Depth: Install top of duct bank at least 36 inches below finished grade, unless
otherwise indicated.
9. Set elevation of bottom of duct bank below the frost line.
10. Direct-buried, PVC duct elbows in first subparagraph below are particularly
vulnerable to damage by pulling lines when cable pulling tensions are high. Rigid
steel conduit elbows are sometimes specified for these stub-ups to prevent such
damage. However, concrete encasement of PVC duct elbows, together with
reduced pulling tensions, is also used in these situations. Pulling tensions can be
reduced by making duct runs from the closest manhole or handhole as short as
possible and arranging duct banks so stub-up elbows have the longest possible
radius. 5-inch (125-mm) duct elbows are available in standard radii of 24, 36, 48,
and 60 inches (300, 900, 1200, and 1500 mm) and greater. Coordinate with
Drawings and see Editing Instruction No. 3 in the Evaluations.
11. Retain one of first two subparagraphs and associated subparagraphs below to
specify type of stub-ups for direct-buried ducts in Project.
© 12. Install manufactured duct elbows for stub-ups at poles and equipment and at
building entrances through the floor, unless otherwise indicated. Encase elbows
for stub-up ducts throughout the length of the elbow.
13. Install manufactured rigid steel conduit elbows for stub-ups at poles and
equipment and at building entrances through the floor.
a. Couple steel conduits to ducts with adapters designed for this purpose, and
encase coupling with 3 inches of concrete.
b. For equipment mounted on outdoor concrete bases, extend steel conduit
horizontally a minimum of 60 inches from edge of equipment pad or
foundation. Install insulated grounding bushings on terminations at
equipment.
14. Warning Planks: Bury warning planks approximately 12 inches above direct-
buried ducts and duct banks, placing them 24 inches o.c. Align planks along the
width and along the centerline of duct bank. Provide an additional plank for each
12-inch increment of duct-bank width over a nominal 18 inches. Space additional
planks 12 inches apart, horizontally.
