engaged on the same work, as to the respective rights of each
under these Specifications, the Engineer shall determine the
matters at issue and shall define the respective rights of the
-7-
GC
various interest involved, in order to secure the completion
of all parts of the work in general harmony, and with satis-
factory results, and his decisions srall be final and binding
on all parties concerned and shall not in any way be a cause
for claim for extra compensation by any of the parties.
14. CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND ALLOWABLE DEVIATIONS
No deviation from the plans for the work of the appioved work-
ing drawings of the structures will be permitted without the
written order of the Engineer.
15. COORDINATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
This Contractor shall take no advantage of any apparent error
or omission in the Plans or Specifications, but the Engineer
shall be permitted to make such currections and interpretations
as may be deemed necessary for t.e fulfillment to the intent
of the Plans and Specifications.
Any work not herein or on the plans specifically specified
but which may be fairly implied or understood as included in
the Contract, shall be done by the Contractor without extra
charge.
Any ambiguity or discrepancy in the Plans and Specifications
shall be adjusted by using the best class of work or materials.
In th~ case of any discrepancy between the scale and figures
on all plans, drawings, etc., the figured dimensions shall
govern. In the case of any discrepancy between the quantities
shown in the proposal and those shown on the plans, the plans
shall prevail. In case any other discrepancy occurs between
the plans and these Specifications, the decision of the Engi-
neer shall be decisive thereon.
16. CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT TO REQUEST CHANGES
If the Contractor shall discover prior to 6r during construc-
tion anything in the plans or specifications or in supplemen-
tary directions by the Engineer which in the opinion of the
Contractor appears to be faulty engineering or design, he
shall forthwith advise the Engineer in writing of the par-
ticulars. It is understood and agreed that, if no objection
is raised by the Contractor under the provisions of this
paragraph, the Contractor waives any right to contest the
provisions of his Contract on the basis of faulty engineer-
ing or design.
17. ALTERATIONS OF PLANS OR CHARACTER OF WORK
The Engineer is given the right as the work progresses, to
make such alterations in the plans or in the character of the
-8-
GC
work as may be considered necessary or desirable, in order to
complete fully and perfect the construction of the work. Such
changes shall in no way invalidate thR contract.
The Contractor will be informed in writing of all or any such
alterations in character of work, before being ordered to per-
form such work. After receipt of such notice, the Contractor
will be given a reasonable length of time to accept or to
protest the performance of work covEred by such alterations.
Should the Contractor, after having been notified and before
any agreement has been reached, perform any of the work
covered by such alterations, it will be construed that he
has accepted such alterations of the work.
The plans and specifications show the work to be performed.
Construction conditions may requ~.e that minor changes be
made in location and installation of the work and equipment
to be furnished and other work to be performed hereunder and
the Contractor when ordered by the Engineer shall make such
adjustments and changes in said locations and work as may be
necessary without additional charge, provided such adjustments
and changes do not alter the character, quantity or cost of
work as a whole and provided further the plans and specifica-
tions showing such adjustments and changes are furnished the
Contractor by the Engineer within a reasonable time and before
any work involving such adjustments and changes are made.
18. INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES OF WORK
The Engineer is given the right to increase oi decrease any or
all of the items specified in the Plans, Proposal and Contract,
including the elimination of one or more of such items.
Such changes shall in nO way invalidace tDe Contract.
The Owner through the Engineer reserves the right to termi-
nate the Contract as it applies to the item or items in ques-
tion and to make such arrangement as he may deem necessary to
complete such item or items of work.
No allowance for anticipated profits will be made.
19. CHANGES IN THE WORK
The Owner, to the extent' authorized by law, may order extra
work or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from
the work without invalidating the contract, and the contract sum
will be adjusted accordingly. No such order for extra work or
change shall be valid unless authorized by official action of
the Owner, and communicated to the Contractor in writing. All
-9-
GC
such work shall be executed under the conditions of the origi-
nal contract, except that any claim for extention of time
caused thereby shall be adj usted at the -time of ordering such
change.
The value of any authorized extra work or changes shall be
determined for purpose of compensatinj the Contract in one or
more of the following ways:
A. By unit prices named in the contract wherever such unit
prices are applicable to the extra work or change.
B. By an acceptable lump sum proposed from the Contractor.
C. By force account paid for in the following manner:
1) For all labor and foreman in ~he direct charge of the
specific work, the Contractor will receive the actual wages
paid for each and every hour that said labor and foreman
are actually engaged in such work, plus the cost of bond,
insurance, and taxes allowable to such wage cost, to which
cost shall be added 15% of the sum thereof. No charge shall
be made by the Contractor for organization or overhead
expenses.
2) For all materials used the Contractor will receive the
actual cost of such materials including freight charges as
shown by original receipted bills, to which cost shall be
added ten (10%) percent of the sum thereof.
Where materials are not specifically purchased for "Force
Account" work, but are taken from the Contractor's stock,
the Contractor shall submit an affidavit Jf the quantity,
price and freight on such materials in lieu of original
bills, and invoices. This affidavit shall be approved by
the Engineer.
3) For any machinery, trucks, or equipment including fuel
and lubricants, which it may be deemed necessary or desirable
to use, the Contractor will receive a reasonable rental price,
for each and every hour that said machinery, trucks and
equipment are in use on such work, and to which sum no per-
centage will be added. Such rental price shall not exceed
the rates established by the A.G.C. for this district for
comparable rentals and shall be subject to the Engineer's
approval.
4) The compensation as herein provided shall be received
by the Contractor as payment in full for work done by "Force
Account" and said fifteen (15%) percent for labor and said
-10-
GC
ten (10%) percent for materials shall be agreed to cover
profit, superintendence, general. expense, overhead, bond
premiums, insurance and the use of sm&ll tools and equipment
for which no rental is allowed.
5) The Contractor or his representative and the Engineer
or his representative shall compare records of work on a
"Force Account" basis at the end of each day. Copies of
the records shall be made in triplicate on "Force Account"
forms, provided for this purpose by che Engineer and signed
by both parties. To all such claims for Force Account Work,
the Contractor shall attach receipted bills for, or affidavits
of, materials used, and freight rec\~ipts recovering freight on
such materials used, and said claims shall be presented to
the Engineer for payment not later than the twentieth (20)
day of the month following that i 1 which the work was actu-
ally performed and shall include all labor charges and
material charges insofar as they can be verified.
Should the Contractor refuse or fail to execute the work as
directed, or to submit his claim as required, the Owner may
withhold payment of all current estimates until the Contrac-
tor's refusal or failure is eliminated, or after giving the
Contractor due notice the Owner may make payment for said
work on a basis of a reasonable estimate of the value of the
work performed.
20. CLAIMS AND PROTESTS
If the Contractor claims that any instructions by drawings or
otherwise to be unfair or involve extra cost under this Contract
for which he ~vould claim extra compensation, he shall give the
Engineer written notice thereof within a reasonable time after
the receipt of such instructions, and in ~ny event before pro-
ceeding to execute the work, except in emergency endangering
life or property, and the procedure shall then be as provided
for changes in the work. No such claim will be valid unless
so made.
21. SUPERINTENDENCE AND SUPERVISION
The Contractor shall keep on his work during its progress a
competent superintendent and any necessary assistants, all
satisfactory to the Engineer. The superintendent shall not
be changed except with the consent of the Engineer unless the
superintendent proves unsatisfactory to the Contractor and
ceases to be in his employ. The superintendent shall repre-
sent the Contractor in his absence, and all directions given to
him shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor. Impor-
tant directions shall be confirmed in writing to the Contractor.
Other directions shall be so confirmed on written request in
each case.
-11-
GC
The Contractor shall give efficient supervision to the work
using his best skill and attention, shall carefully study and
compare all drawings, specifications ~nd other instructions
and shall at once report to the Engineer any error, inconsis-
tency, or omission which he may discover, but he shall not be
held responsible for their existence or discovery.
The Contractor will be supplied, by the Engineer, copies of the
Plans and Specifications. He~shall have said Plans and Speci-
fications available on the work, at ~ll times, during the pros-
ecution of the work. He shall give the work his constant atten-
tion to facilitate the progress thereof and shall cooperate with
the Engineer in setting and preserving stakes, bench marks, etc.,
and in all other things that are necessary for satisfactory com-
pletion of the work contemplated.
~~
22. ENGINEER'S STATUS
The Engineer shall hav~ general supervision and direction of
the work. He is the agent of the Owner only to the extent
provided in the contract documents and as authorized by law.
He has authority to stop the work whenever such stoppage may
be necessary to insure proper execution of the contract. He
is recognized by both parties to the contract as the inter-
preter of the contact documents. He shall, within a reason-
able time, make decisions on all claims of the Owner, or the
Contractor, on all matters ,relating to the execution and pro-
gress of the work, or the interpretation of the contract docu-
ments. The Engineer shall decide any and all questions as
to quality of material furnished for the work, and shall decide
all questions regarding the interpretations of specifications
or plans relating to the work, and shall determine the amount
and quantity of the several kinds of work performed, and mate-
rials furnished, which are to be paid fo~ under the contract.
Any work not specifically specified on the plans, but which
may be fairly implied, or understood, as included in the con-
tract, shall be done by the Contractor without extra charge,
and the Engineer shall be permitted to make such corrections
and interpretations as may be deemed necessary for the ful-
fillment to the extent of the plans and specifications. In
the case of any discrepancy occuring between the plans and
specifications, the decision of the Engineer is final.
23. INSPECTION OF WORK
The Engineer and his representatives shall at all times have
access to the work wherever it is in preparation or progress,
and the Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such
access and for inspection.
An inspector may be stationed on the work to report to the
Engineer as to the progress of the work and the manner in
-12-
GC
which it is performed, also to report when it appears that
the materials furnished, or the work performed by the Contrac-
tor fail to fulfill the requirements of the contract and to
call to the attention pf the Contractor any such failure or
infringement. In case of any dispute arising between the
Contractor and the Inspector as to the material furnished, or
the manner of performing the work, th~ Inspector shall have the
authority to reject materials or suspend the work until such
matter can be referred to, and decid~d by the Engineer. No
advice which the Inspector may give che Contractor shall be
construed as bindiag upon the Owner nor will such advice
release the Contractor from the fulfillment of the terms of
the contract.
If the specifications, the Enginee.:'s instructions, laws, ordi-
nances, or any public authority rl quire any work to be specially
tested or approved, the Contracto shall give the Engineer
timely notice of its readiness for the inspection, and if the
inspection is by another authority than the Engineer, of the
date fixed for such inspection. Inspections by the Engineer
shall be promptly made and where practicable at the sources of
supply. If any work shall be covered up without approval or
consent of the Engineer, it must, if required by the Engineer,
be uncovered for examination at the Contractor's expense.
Re-examination of questioned work may be ordered by the Engi-
neer, and if so ordered, the work must be uncovered by the
Contractor. If such work be found in accordance with the con-
tract documents, the Owner shall pay the cost of re-examina-
tion and replacement. If such work be found not in accor-
dance with the contract documents, the Contractor shall pay
such cost unless he shall show that the defect in the work was
caused by another Contractor, in which evpnt the Owner shall
pay the cost.
24. DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME
If the Contractor be delayed at any time in the progress of the
work by an act or neglect of the Owner or the Engineer or any
employee of either, or by any other Contractor employed by the
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 such 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
-l3-
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
time as provided herein.
25. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAl PAYMENT
The Contractor shall promptly remove from the premises all ma-
terials condemned by the Engineer 2S failing to conform to the
contract, whether incorporated in t~le work or not ~nd the Con-
tractor shall promptly replace and re-execute his own work in
accordance with the contract docu ents and without expense to
the Owner and shall bear the expe 3e of making good all work of
the other Contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal or
replacement.
All materials not conforming to the requirements of these speci-
fications shall be considered as defective and all such materials,
whether in place or not, will be rejected and shall be removed
immediately from the right-of-way, unless otherwise permitted.
No material which has been rejected, the defects of which have
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 ~hereafter, 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 PAYtlliNT
Neither the final certificate, nor payment, nor any provision
of the contract documents, shall relieve the Contractor of
responsibility for faulty material or workmanship, and unless
otherwise specified he shall remedy any defects due thereto
and pay for any damage to other work resulting therefrom which
shall appear within a period of one year from the date of final
approval and acceptance by the Owner. The Owner shall give
notice of observed defects with reasonable promptness. All ques-
tions arising under this article shall be decided by the Engineer.

O. Before the Owner shall exercise its right to declare the Con-
tractor in default by reaso~s of the conditions set forth in items
number A., D., E., F., G., J., K., L., M., and N., he shall give
the Contractor an opportunity to be heard, on two days' notice at
which hearing the Contractor may have a stenographer present; pro-
vided, however, that a copy of such stenographic notes, if any,
shall be furnished to the Owner.
30. EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO DECLARE IN DEFAULT
The right to declare in default for any of the grounds specified
or referred to in Article 29 hereof, shall be exercised by sending
the Contractor a notice, signed by the Engineer, setting forth the
ground or grounds upon which such default is declared.
31. QUITTING THE SITE
Upon receipt of such notice the Contractor shall immediately dis-
continue all further operation under this contract and shall im-
mediately quit the site, leaving untouched all plant materials,
equipment, tools and supplies then on the site.
32. COMPLETION OF THE WORK AFTER DEFAULT
The Owner, after declaring the Contractor' in default, may then have
the work completed by such means and in such manner, by contract
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 certificate 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 the work
should have been completed by the Contractor in accordance with the
terms hereof to the date of actual completion of the work. Such
certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the Contractor,
his Sureties, and any person claiming under the Contractor, as to
the amount thereof.
The expense of such completion, as so certified by the Engineer
shall be charged against and deducted out of such monies as would
have been payable to the Contractor, if he had completed the work;
the balance of such monies, if any, subject to the other provisions
of this contract, to be paid to the Contractor without interest af-
ter such completion. Should the expense of such completion, so cer-
tified by the Engineer, exceed the total sum which would have been
payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the
Contractor, any such excess shall be paid by the Contractor to the
Owner upon demand.
-17-
GC
33. PARTIAL DEFAULT
In case the Owner sh"all declare the Contractor in default as to
a part of the work only, tne Contractor shall discontinue such
part, shall continue performing the remainder of the work in strict
conformity with the terms of the contract, and shall in no way hinder
or interfere with any other Contractors or persons whom the Owner
may engage to complete the work as to which the Contractor was de-
clared in default.
The provisions of the clauses herein relating to declaring the Con-
tractor in defaul~ as to the entire work shall be equally appli-
cable to a declaration of partial default, except that the Owner
shall be entitled to utilize for completion of the part of the work
as to which the Contractor was declared in default only such plant,
materials, equipment, tools and supplies as had been previously used
by the Contractor on such part.
34. SCOPE OF PAYMENT
The Contractor shall receive and accept the compensation as herein
provided, in full payment for furnishing all materials, labor, tools,
equipment, royalties, fees, insurance, permits, bonds, etc., and for
performing all work contemplated and embraced under the Contract,
also for all loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work,
or from the action of the elements, until its final acceptance by
the Owner, and for all risks connected with the prosecution of the
work, also for all expenses incurred by, or in consequence of, the
suspension or discontinuance of said prosecution of the work as
herein specified and for completing all of the work embraced in the
Contract.
The Contractor shall under this contract price furnish and pay
all material and incidental work, furnish all accessories, and
everything which may be necessary to carry out the contract in
faith, which contemplates everything completed in good working
of good material with accurate workmanship.

35. APPLICATION FOR PAYMENTS
The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer an application for each
payment verified as required by law for claims against the Owner,
and, if required, receipts or other vouchers showing his payments
for materials, and labor, including payments to subcontractors. Ap-
plication for progress payments authorized by the contract shall be
submitted at least twenty (20) days before each payment falls due
and, if required, the Contractor shall before the first application,
submit to the Engineer a schedule of values of the various parts of
work, including the quantities aggregating the total sum of the con-
tract divided so as to facilitate payments to sub-contractors, made
out in such form, and supported by such evidence as to its correct-
ness as the Engineer may direct. In applying for payments the Con-
tractor shall submit a statement based upon this schedule, supported
by such evidence as the Engineer may direct, showing his right to
payment claimed. Payment claimed on account of materials delivered
-18-
GC
and suitably stored at the site, but not incorporated in the work,
shall, if required by the Engineer, be conditioned upon submission
by the Contractor of bills of sale, or such procedure as will es-
tablish the title of the Owner to such material, or otherwise ad-
equately protect the interest of the Owner. The Engineer will ex-
amine claims for payment promptly, and his determination of the
amount due on progress payment will be final.
36. PARTIAL PAYHENTS
Unless payments are withheld by the Owner for reasons hereinbefore
stated, payment w~ll be made at least once a month on a basis of
ninety (90%) percent of the work done, provided the work is pro-
gressing to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Monthly estimates may include the value of acceptable materials
required in the construction, which have been delivered on the
site of the work or adjacent railway siding, and for which accep-
table provisions have been made for their preservation and storage.
From the total value of the materials so reported, ten (10%) percent
will be retained. Such material, when so paid for by the Owner,
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
used such materials in the construction of the work provided for
in the contract. The amount thus paid by the Owner for materials
shall go to reduce estimates due the Contractor as the material is
used in the work.
Vouchers will be passed for payment by the Owner not later than
the tenth (10th) of the following month, unless delayed by require-
ments for examination or auditing by other authorities.
-19-
GC
37. CERTIFICATES OF PAYMENT
If the Contractor has made application as above, the Engineer
shall, not later than the date when each payment falls due,
issue to the Contractor a certificate for such amount as he
decides to be properly dUG.
No certificate issued nor payment made to the Contractor, not
partial, or entire, use, or occupancy of the work by the Owner,
shall be acceptance of the work or materials not in accordance
with this contract.
38. PAYMENTS WIT!THELD
The Owner may withhold, in addition to retained percentages,
from payment to the Contractor such an amount or amounts as
may be necessary to cover:
A. Defective work not remedied.
B. Claims for labor or materials furnished the Contractor or
sub-contractor, or reasonable evidence indica~ing probable
filing of such claims.
C. Failure of the Contractor co rnake payments properly to
sub-contractors or for material or labor.
D. A reasonable doubt that the contract can be completed for
the balance then unpaid.
E. Evidence of damage alleged to be caused by the Contractor
to other persons or property in connection with the work under
the contractor for which claim has been or will be asserted
against the rontractor, the Owner or the Engineer.
The Owner may disburse and shall have the right to act as
agent for the Contractor in disbursing such funds as have
been withheld pursuant to this paragraph to the party or
parties who are entitled to payment therefrom, but the Owner
assumes no obligation to make such disbursement. The Owner
will render to the Contractor a proper accounting of all such
funds disbursed.
39. FINAL INSPECTION
The Engineer will make final inspection of all work included
in the contract or any portjon thereof, as soon as practicable
after notification by the C1ntractor that such work is near-
ing completion. If such wc:'k is not acceptable to the Eng-
ineer at the time of his iL~pection, he will advise the Con-
tractor in writing as to th~ particular defects to be remedied
-20-
GC
before such work can be accepted. If, within a period of ten
(10) days after such notification, the Contractor has not
taken steps to speedily conplete the work as directed, the
Engineer may, without further notice and without in any way
impairing the contract, make such other arrangements as he
may deem necessary to have such work completed in a satis-
factory manner. The cost of so completing such work shall
be deducted from any monies due, or which may become due the
Contractor on his contract.
40. FINAL PAYMENT
Upon completion of the work and its acceptance by the Engi-
neer, the Engineer will prepare a final estimate containing
complete quantities of each and every item of work performed
by the Contractor, and the value thereof, upon acceptance of
said final estimate by the Contractor, the Engineer will cer-
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
terms of the contract. Unless as herein provided, the Owner
will accept the Certificate and Final Estimate for final pay-
ment and will 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
contract concluded according to the terms thereof, shall be
evidenced by the aforesaid Certificate and Final Payment. All
prior certificates or estimates upon which payments may have
been made are merely partial estimates and subject to correc-
tion in the final payment.
Before final payment is made for the work on this Project,
the Contractor must make a satisfactory showing that he has
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
of the Owner of a Certificate of Compliance from the Commis-
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.
290.92. The required 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, claims 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.

GC
Materials shall be stored so as to insure the preservation of
their quality and fitness of the work and such materials, even
though approved before sto~age, shall be subject to test and must
meet the requirements of these specifications at the time it is
proposed to use them in the work. Materials shall be stored in a
manner that will facilitate inspection.
The portion of the site or right-of-way not required for public
travel may, with the consent of the Engineer, be used for storage
purposes, and for the placing of the Contractor's plant and equip-
ment; but any add~tional space required, unless otherwise stipula-
ted, shall be provided by the Contractor at his expense.
All materials, supplies, and articles furnished shall, whenever so
specified, and otherwise wherever practicable, be the standard stock
products of recognized reputable manufacturers.
From the commencement of the work until the completion of the same,
the Contractor shall be solely responsible for the care of the work
covered by this contract and for the materials delivered at the site
intended to be used in work and all injury or damage to the same
from whatever cause, shall be made good at his expense before the
final estimate is made. He shall provide means of protection for
and shall protect all materials intended to be used in the work and
all work in progress as well as completed work. He shall take all
necessary precautions to prevent injury or damage to the work in
progress of construction by flood, freezing or from inclemencies
of the weather at any and all times and only approved methods shall
be used for this purpose.
When tests of materials are necessary, such tests shall be made by
and at the expense of the Contractor unless otherwise provided. The
Contractor shall afford such facilities as the Engineer may require
for collecting and forwarding samples, and shall not use the mater-
ials represented by the samples until tests have been made and the
materials have been found to satisfy the requirements of these spec-
ifications. The Contractor in all cases shall furnish the required
samples without charge.
All materials not conforming to the requirements of these specifi-
cations shall be considered as defective and all such materials,
whether in place or not, will be rejected and shall be removed
immediately from the right-of-way, unless otherwise permitted. No
material which has been rejected, the defects on which have been
corrected or removed, shall be used until approval has been given.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned work and materials
within a reasonable time fixed by written notice, the Owner may
remove them and may store the materials at the expense of the Con-
tractor. If the Contractor does not pay the expense of such removal
-24-
GC
within ten days thereafter, the Owner may, upon ten day's written
notice, sell such materials at auction, or at private sale and
shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all
the costs and expenses that should have been borne by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall promptly remove from the premises all mater-
ials condemned by the Engineer as failing to conform to the contract,
whether incorporated in the work or not and the Contractor shall
promptly replace and re-execute his own work in accordance with
the Contract Documents without expense to the Owner and shall bear
the expense of making good all work of the other Contractors des-
troyed or damaged by such removal or replacement.

fective work performed previously, or to make any necessary re-
pairs in an acceptable manner and in accordance with the require-
ments of these Specifications, within the time indicated in writing,
the Engineer shall have the authority to cause the unacceptable or
defective work to be removed and renewed or repaired at the Con-
tractor's expense. Any expense incurred by the Owner in making
these removals, renewals, or repairs, which the Contractor has
failed or refused to make, shall be paid for out of any monies due
or which may become due the Contractor, or may be charged against
the "Contract BondH deposited; and continued failure or refusal on
the part of the Contractor to make any or all necessary repairs
promptly, fully and in acceptable manner shall be sufficient cause
for the Owner at his option, to purchase materials, tools and equip-
ment, and employ labor or to contract with any other individual,
firm or corporation to perform the work. All costs and expenses
incurred thereby shall be charged against the Contractor, and the
amount thereof deducted from any monies due or which may become
due him under this contract, or shall be charged against the "Con-
tract Bond" deposited. Any work performed, as described in this
paragraph, shall not relieve the Contractor in any way from his
responsibility for the work performed by him.

work without compensation to the Contractor when the Contractor
fails or refuses to rebuild such faulty work.

at the site of excavation. Barricades shall be painted in a color
that will be visible at night. From sunset to sunrise, the Con-
tractor shall furnish and maintain at least two (2) flashing amber
lights at each barricade. A sufficient number of barricades shall
be erected to keep vehicles from being driven on or into any work
under construction. The Contractor shall furnish watchmen in suf-
ficient numbers to protect the work.

or interfere with the operation of their or his property along or
adjacent to the work. The Contractor shall be responsible for all
damages or injury to property of any character resulting from any
act, omission, neglect or misconduct in the manner or method of
executing the work, or due to his non-execution of the work, or at
any time due to defective work or materials. He shall restore, or

dition similar or equal to that existing before such damage or in-
jury was done, by repairing, rebuilding, or otherwise restoring as
may be directed, or he shall make good such damage from injury in a
manner acceptable to the Owner or the Engineer. In case of failure
on the part of the Contractor to restore such property or make good
such damage or injury, the Engineer may, upon forty-eight hours'
written notice under ordinary circumstances and without notice when
a nuisance or hazardous condition results, proceed to repair, re-
build, or otherwise restore such property as may be determined nec-
essary, and the cost thereof will be deducted from any monies due
to the Contractor under this contract if not so deducted, the Con-
tractor will be obligated to forthwith reimburse the Owner for the
cost thereof.

essarily shown on the plans, and those shown are only approximately
correct and no responsibility is assumed by the Owner or the Engi-
neer for the accuracy of location. The Contractor shall make such
investigations as are necessary to determine the extent to which
existing structures may interfere with the work contemplated under
this contract.
The sizes, locations and depths of such structures as are shown on
the plans and profiles are only approximately correct and the Con-
tractor shall satisfy himself as to the accuracy of the information
given.
The Contractor shall not claim or be entitled to receive compensa-
tion for any damages sustained by reason of the inaccuracy or the
omission of any of the information given on the drawings, relative
to the surface, overhead, or underground structures or by reason of
his failure to properly protect and to maintain structures.

The Contractor shall give the Engineer sufficient notice of his
need for the establishment of line and grade so that the Engineer
may have time to provide same. After lines and grade for any
part of the work have been given by the Engineer the Cont~actor
will be held responsible for the proper execution of the work to
be protected and preserved by him until authorized to renove them
by the Inspector. The Contractor shall at his own expense
correct any mistakes that may be caused by their unauthorized
disturbances or removal. The Engineer may require that work be
suspended at any time when for any reason such marks cannot be
properly followed.
No additional compensation shall be allowed the Contractor for
any claims of crews being held up because of lack of line and
grade stakes.
7. EXCAVATION AND PREPARATION OF TRENCH
The trench shall be dug to the alignment and depth required and
only so far in advance of pipe line as the Engineer shall permit.
The sides of the trench shall be sloped and/or braced and the
trench drained so that workmen can work safely and efficiently.
It is essential that the discharge pUmps be laid to natural
drainage channels or to drain sewers.
All trenches shall be excavated so that the pipe may be laid
accurately to grade with a minimum of 7~ feet of earth cover
over the centerline of the water mains, unless otherwise noted
on the drawings.
The trench width, at the top of the trench, may vary depending
on the depth of the excavation and the nature of excavated
material encountered.
All water main shall be laid on a granular material (gravel or
sand) bed. ~Vhen the proper bed material is not available from
the trench, bedding material shall be furnished by the Contrac-
tor. Bedding material for the pipe shall be installed as shown
on the detail plate.
The trench width at pipe grade shall be ample to permit the
proper laying and jointing of the pipe and fittings and for
proper backfilling and compaction. The maximum clear width
of trench at the top of the pipe shall be not greater than the
outside diameter of the pipe plus 2 feet.
The trench shall have a bottom conforming to the grade to ~hich
the pipe is to be laid. The pipe shall be laid upon sound soil,
cut true and even so that the barrel of the pipe will have a
bearing for its full length. If the excavation is inadvertently
made below the bottom conforming to grade, it shall be backfilled
with well tamped pit run sand or fine gravel as aoproved by the
Engineer at no additional expense to the Owner.

posed of as directed by the Englnee~, within haul distance not
to exceed two miles one way at no additional compensation.
8. SHEETING AND BRACING
The Contractor, to prevent the disturbing or settlement of
adjacent road surfaces, foundations, structures, or railroad
tracks or other improvements, shall furnish and place all sheet-
ing and bracing necessary to good working conditions acceptable
to the Bngineers and to prevent damage and delay to the work.
The Contractor shall be responsible for the strength and suf-
ficiency of all sheeting and bracing. Should the Engineer
decide that the sheeting and bracing at any point is inadequate
or improperly constructed, he may order additional sheeting or
bracing to be placed at the Contractor's expense.
Bracing shall be so arranged as to provide ample working space
and so as not to interfere with the work and so as not to place
any strain on the structures being constructed until such
structures are, in the opinion of the Engineer, of ample strength
to withstand such strain. All sheeting and bracing, unless
otherwise specified or ordered to be left in place by the
Engineer, shall be installed and removed from the work at !10
additional compensation. No sheeting and bracing shall be re-
moved, until the construction has proceeded far enough to pro-
vide ample strength in the opinion of the Engineer.
Any damage to the.work under this contract or to adjacent struc-
tures or property caused by settlement, water or earth pressures,
slides, caves or other causes due to failure or lack of sheet-
ing and bracing or improper bracing or through negligence or
fault of the Contractor in any manner shall be repaired by the
Contractor without delay at his expense.
~bere the trench 1s not located near existing utilities, buildings
or other structures and where water and other conditions permit,
082-2949
-10-
sc-w
i.
r
the Contractor may with the approval of the Engineer, omit sheet-
ing and bracing of the excavation. In this event, he shall ex-
cavate a space of sufficient size to provide adequate spac~ for
the construction work so as to prevent sliding or caving of the
banks into the area within the lines of structures.
The Contractor shall leave 1n place to be imbedded in the backfill
of the trench all sheeting and bracing etc., which the Engineer
may direct in writing to be left in place for which the Contrac-
. tor shall be paid.
In addition to that sheeting and bracing mentioned above, the
Contractor may also leave in place, to be imbedded in the back-
fill of the trench, any sheeting and bracing which he may con-
sider necessary to prevent injury to persons, structures, cor-
porations or property, whether private or public, tor which he
assumes the entire and sole liability for any damage which
may be caused by the installation, and for which he shall re-
ceive no payment or extra compensation.
No sheeting and bracing which 1s within 3 feet of the surface of
the ground may be left 1n place in the trench without written
permission from ~he Engineer. When sheeting and bracing have
been ordered left 1n place, payment for same shall include the
upper 3 feet ot "cut-ofr" section of the sheeting.
9. PIPE FOUNDATIONS
It" the Contractor encounters unstable soil not suitable for
bedding of pipe, he shall notify the Engineer. He shall remove
and replace all unstable material with stabilization material
as may be ordered by the Engineer. The Contractor will not be
paid extra for such additional excavation, but will be paid
for base stabilization material at the unit price bid. Material
for base stabilization shall be binder stone.
If the Engineer shall order piling to be placed, the Contractor
shall furnish, drive and place all said piles. Piles shall be
driven vertically in exact position at locations given by
Engineer. Piles which may become shifted must be removed and
good piles driven in their places, or additional piles put in
as directed by the Engineer without additional expense to the
Owner. All piling shall be driven to substantial refusal as
defined by M.H.D. Specification 2452.3

B. Notes on Test Procedure
a. Sources of D. C. current for these tests may be rod or
generators, batteries, arc welding machines, etc. D. c.
u.re t\f;lding machine s will probably be the usual source
These machines are available tn adequate capacity for
these tests and are equipped with controls for reGu}at::~:=
the current output.
b. Cables from the power source to the section 0_' the sys:.::;:,.
under test should be of sufficient size to carry tLe LS.3t
current without overheating or excessive voltage drop.
lTsuable sizes will probably be in the range of 2/0 to
4/0 A.W.G.
c. Connections for the test shall be made at hydrants. T!le
hydrants shall be in the open position with the caps O~
during the test. The cable shall be clamped to the top
operating nut. Note: After the test the hydrant shall
be shut off and a cap loosened to allow hydrant drainage.
Tighten cap after drainage.
d. A hook-on type D.C. ammeter placed on one of the cables
leading to the hydrant is a convenient method of measuri~g
cu rrent.
e. In us ing arc we ld ing machines, the current C 0ntrol shoul,i
be set at minimum before starting. After starting the
machine, advance the control until the current indicated
on the ammeter is at the desired test value. Caution:
In case of open circuits at joints or connections, the
voltage across the defective joint or connection will 22
in the order of 50-100 volts.
l8. RESTORATION OF GROUND AND ROAD SURFACES
\'lherever the surface of the ground is remo'vej' or disturbed ~~/
the Contractor's operation the Contractor snaIl restore, ~ep~2'~
or rebuild all such surfaces to a condition at least equa~ to
its condition at time of removal. Blading and maintaining of
streets and roadways are covered hereinbefore j.n these pro',.-i.s ~'~.:-< .
If the alignment of the water main and j ts appurtenances, c.s
sbown on the plans, is alongside or paralle 1 to a pa \re.j roa:: \,.'E.~:,
but the proximity of such alignment to t!-:.e pa \ling does !'lot
warrant any damage or remo'val of such pa':ing, the Cor.tracto:!'
shall replace or repair the paving which he has remove6 o!'
damaged at no additional compensation.
