infringement.. In case of any dispute arising between the
Contractor. and the Inspector as to the material furnished, or

Owner, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strike, fire
'unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties or .
other causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by any cause
which the Engineer shall decide to justify the delay, then the
time of completion shall be extended for such reasonable time
as the OWner may decide, and the decision of the Owner shall be
binding on both parties and shall not be arbitrary or unrea-
sonable. No stich extension shall be made for delay unless claim
therefore is made in writing to the Engineer within ,seven (7)
days after the period of delay shall have commenced. The Con-
tractor shall not be,'entitled to extension of. time for each one
-13-
GC
-,
of several causes of delay operative concurrently, but only for
the actual period of delay, nor shall the Contractor be entitled
to an extension for causes of delay if one of such causes for
which extension is authorized above. The Contractor shall have
no. claim for damages against the OWner for delay in performance
of the contract due to ,any act or omission of the OWners or any
of its representatives, and his sole remedy on account thereof
shall be his right to apply to the Engineer for extension of

been corrected or removed, shall be used until approval has
been given.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned work and ma-
terials within a reasonable time fixed by written notice, the
Owner may remove them and may store the material at the expense
of the Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the expense
of such removal within ten (10) days thereafter, the OWner may
upon ten' (10) days written ,notice sell such materials at auction
or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds there-
of, after deducting all the cost and expenses that should have
been borne by the Contractor. .
26. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT

sessment, the damage to the Owner for such delay and failure on the
part of the Contractor shall be liquidated at a daily rate in an
amount as specified in the Special Provisions for each calendar
day, Sundays and holidays included, by which the Contractor shall
fail to complete the work or any part thereof in accordance with

any money due or becomes due hereunder the amount of liquidated
damages, and in case those amounts are less than the amount of
liquidated damages 'the Contractor shall be liable to pay the dif....
ference upon demand.
Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the work or any
part of it after the time fixed for its completion, or after the
date to Which the time for completion may have been extended, shall
in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the Owner of any of
its rights under the contract.
Neither by the taking over of the work by the Owner, nor by the
termination of the contract, shall the Owner forfeit the right
to recover liquidated damages from the Contractor or his 'Surety
for failure to complete the contract.

or fail to perform any provision of the contract, the Owner after

with or without public letting, or otherwise, as it may deem advis-
able, utilizing for such purpose such of the Contractor's plant,
materials, equipment, tools and supplies remaining on the site, and
also such sUb-contractors as it may deem advisable.

After such completion, the Engineer shall make a ce~tificate stating
the expense incurred in such completion, which shall include the cost
of reletting and also the total amount of liquidated damages (at the
rate provided for in the Specifications) from'the date when ~he wo~k
should have been completed by the Contractor in accordance with the
terms hereof to the date of actual completion of the work. Such

shall become the property of the Owner, and in the event 'of the de-
fault on the part of the Contractor, the Owner may use or cause to be

tify in writing to the OWner as to the completion and his
acceptance of the work, and to the entire amount and value of
each and every item of work performed in accordance with the
terxns of-the contract. Unless as herein provided, the OWner
will accept the Certificate and Final Estimate for final pay-
ment andwi1l notify the Contractor and his Surety or Sureties
of the acceptance of the work. The action of the OWner and
the Engineer, by which the Contractor is to be bound and the

complied with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Annotated
290.92 requiring the withholding of State income tax for
wages paid employees on this Project. Receipt by the Clerk

sioner of Taxation will satisfy this requirement. The Con-
tractor is advised that before such certificate can be issued,
he must first place on file with the Commissioner of Taxation
an affidavit that he has complied with the provisions of M.S.A.
29.0.92. The requir~d affidavit form will be supplied by the
Commissioner of Taxation, Centennial Building, St. Paul,
Minnesota 55101, on request.
Final payment will not be made until the Contractor shall have
filed with the OWner evidence in the form of an affidavit and
such other evidence as may be required that all cla~s against
him by' reasons of the contract have been fully paid or satis-
factorily secured. In case such evidence is not furnished, the
OWner may retain out of any amount due said Contractor sums
sufficient to cover all claims unpaid.

t
Gentlemen:
,..-
As requested, we have conducted a soils investigation on the
two above referenced projects. Soil ~orings were taken to
evaluate the soil and water conditions for support of the
storm sewer on Vine Street and for design of the surfacing
. on both streets. . Thiswork'was done in accordance with our
proposal dated July 29, 1977.
-r-
r-
The borings were taken at the locations. shown on the attached
sketch. These locations were referenced to center lines of
existing streets. Surface elevations were notdeter~ined as
a part of this work since it is assumed that they are
available from profiles or cross-sections.
The borings were taken on August 17,1977 with a truck~
mounted core and auger drill. Penetration test b9rings were
taken through the hollow-,stem auger in accQrdance with ASTM
DIS86 "Penetration Test and Split Barrel Sampling of Soils'-J.
Using this meth6d, the bore hole is advanced with the hollow-
stem auger to the desired test depth. Then a140-pound
hammer falling 30 inches drives a standard 2-inch OD split
barrel sampler a total penetration of l~ feet below the tip
of the hollow-stem auger. The blows for the last foot of
penetration are recorded and are an index of soil strength
characteristics. Soil samples were generally taken at 2~-
foot increments to the IS-foot depth and at S-foot increments
to the termination of ~he borings. Use of the hollow-stem
auger eliminated the driving of casing and the need for
jetting water.
,
~
,-.
r-
.,......

J"-
Power auger borings were also taken with this equipment.
The soils encountered and the strata depths were inferred
from the samples brought to the surface by rotation of the
auger. Thus, these are somewhat more approximate.

Each boring was probed immediately after its completion to,
.cheekior the presence of groundwater. The borings were
then. backfilled.
,-
RESULTS:
-
The logs of It he soils encountered, penetration resistances,
where recorded, and water level observations are shown on
the attached Log of Borings sheets.
Anna Trail: Power auger borings B-1 through B-3 were taken
on this street. These borings generlly encountered a limited
amount of sand at the surface, underlain by silty clayey
sands. Water was not encountered.in probing the borings
immediat~ly atter their completion.
Vine Street: Power auger boring B-4 and penetration test
borings 5T-5 through 5T-9 were taken on this alignment.
Boring B-4 encountered silty clayey ~ands below the bituminous
surface and aggregate base. This material extended to the
termination depth of 10 feet. The penetration borings
encountered fill soils to depths ranging from 3 feet to 12
feet. Immediately below the fill soils, there was typically
a thin stratum of slightly organic to organic soils.
Boring ST-7 encountered the most organic materials with
approximately l~ feet of peat andmu~k. Because this boring
was taken 6 feet feet off the center line, and a sewer line
. has been installed down the center, it is probable that this
is backfill of the sewer trench. At some distance away from
the s~wer trench, it is possible that the depth of fill is
smaller and the thicknes~ of the organic stratum is larger.
However, the bottom elevation would he expected to be approxi-
mately the same.
The penetration resistances in the fill soils and the slightly
organic soils immediately below the fill indicate that these
materials are in a medium to stiff condition and thus are
not particularly low strength or compressible.
Water was encountered in these penet."ation test borings at
depths of 2 to 6 feet when measured immediately after with...
drawal of the auger. Given time to stabilize, it is likely
that all of the penetration test borings would have water
levels approximately 2 to 3 feet below the surface at the
location 6f the boring. In the power auger boring, B-4,
which was taken at a higher elevation. no groundwater was
encountered.

ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
~.
Anna Tr.ail: The three borings taken on this street indicate
relatively good soils conditions for the proposed surfacing.
Because of the slightly plastic nature of the silty clayey
sands, it is recommended that'this street design be based on
an "R" value of 30 for use in the current Minnesota Depart~
ment of Transp6ration design procedure. The MN/DOT "Speci-
fied Density" method of embankment placement and control is
recommended. This requires compaction of the upper 3 feet
of ~ny fill material to a minimum of 100% of standard Proctor
dens ity. Al so , it is recommended that the upper 1 ,foot of
the existing soils ,where they will be the top of the embank....
ment, be compacted to this requirement.
,.-
,...
,..-
Vine Street: We understand that it is proposed to install a
storm sewer along this street, regrade, and then surface the.
finalized street. You indicated that the storm sewer would
have a typical invert depth of approximately 6 feet.
It appears that it would be desirable to raise the finished
grade of the street ort the order of 3 feet in this area.
This would get the finished grade approximately 5 feet above
the water table and would reduce frost heaving potential in
the area. It is suggested that this fill be a clean sand
and gravel to further limit th~ potential damage from frost.
I"""""
r-
,.-
,.-
The soils encountered in the power auger boring at the
northerly end of the project are good soils for support of
the storm sewer and proposed street. However, 'the soils
encountered in the penetration test borings through the low
area are somewhat marginal. The weight of the fill needed
to raise the grade will cause a limited amount of settlement
of the existing fill and organic soils. Also, there is some
possibility that organic soils exist in thick~r layer out.
side of the sewer trench. This could result in somewhat
more settlement. Thus, it would be desirable to place the
fill as early as possible a'nd delay final surfacing as long
as possible.
If the grade is raised approximately 3 feetr a storm sewer
with a 6-foot invert would generally fall w1thin the existing
fill. This material appears to be adequate for support ofa
storm sewer. However, there maybe limited areas ~here some
subcutting will be required and it is recommended that a pay
item for this be included in the contract. It is assumed
that the storm sewer will have sufficient slope that it can
tolerate some settlement which might occur. In the event
that this is not the case, it would be neoessary to subcut
the fill and any underlying organic materials and replace
them with a controlled, compacted backfill for ,
support of the PiPe'BRIIUn'.

Street surfaciIlg design should probably be placed on the
silty clayey sands encountered in B-4. These materials
would have an "R". value of 30. I f the fill soils brought in'
are clean sand and gravel, they would have an fiR" value of
approximately 60. However, because of. the relatively high
water table, an "Rtf value of 30 would provide additional
strength against the frost damage potential. As notcdfot
Anna Trail, it is recommended that the~lN/DOT "Specified
Density" method be used for cOI'ltrolling the embankment.

REMARKS:
r-
The analysis and recommendationssub~itted in ~hisrcport
are based upon the data obtained from the 9 soil borings
performed at the locations indicated on the attached sketch.
Variations may occur between these borings, the nature and
extent of which may n6t become evident until construction.
If variations are encountered, it will be necessary to make
a re-evaluation of the recommendations of this report after
performing on-site observations during the construction and
notirtg the characteristics ~f any variations. Such varia-
tionsmay result in additional foundation costs and it is
suggested that a contingency be provided [or this purpose.
r-
-
,-..
,-
To permit correlation of the soil data obtained to date \vith
the actual soil conditions encountered during construction
a.nd to provide continuing professional responsibility for
the conformanc~ of the construction to the concepts originally
contemplated in this report and to the plans and specifica-
tions, it is recommended that we be retained to develop and
perform the necessary observation and testing program for
the excavation and foundation phases of the project~
If others perform the recommended observations and/Qr testing
of construction~ professional respoIlsibility becomes divided
since in doing so, they assume responsibility for verifying
that the soil conditions throughout the construction areas
are similar to those encountered in the borings or recognizing
variations which would require a change in recommendations.
lfwe can be of further assistance in evaluating these data or
providing further services, kindly contact us at your
convenIence.
