and check and verify pertinent figures therein and all
applicable field measurements. CONTRACTOR shall
promptly report in writing to ENGINEER any conflict, error,
ambiguity, or discrepancy which CONTRACTOR may
discover and shall obtain a written interpretation or
clarification from ENGINEER before proceeding with any
Work affected thereby; however, CONTRACTOR shall not
be liable to OWNER or ENGINEER for failure to report any
conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy in the Contract
Documents unless CONTRACTOR knew or reasonably
should have known thereof.
B. Preliminary Schedules: Within ten days after the
Effective Date of the Agreement (unless otherwise specified
00700 - 9
in the General Requirements), CO~TRACTOR shall submit
to ENGINEER for its timely review:

times (numbers of days or dates) for starting and
completing the various stages of the Work, including any
Milestones specified in the Contract Documents;
2. a preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing and
Sample submittals which will list each required submittal
and the times for submitting, reviewing, and processing
such submittal; and
3. a preliminary schedule of values for all of the
Work which includes quantities and prices of items which
when added together equal the Contract Price and subdi-
vides the Work into component parts in sufficient detail
to serve as the basis for progress payments during
performance of the Work. Such prices will include an
appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to
each item of Work.
C. Evidence of Insurance: Before any Work at the Site
is started, CONTRACTOR and OWNER shall each deliver
to the other, with copies to each additional insured identified
in the Supplementary Conditions, certificates of insurance
(and other evidence of insurance which either of them or any

make corrections and adjustments and to complete and
resubmit the schedules. No progress payment shall be made
to CONTRACTOR until acceptable schedules are submitted
to ENGINEER.
1. The progress schedule will be acceptable to
ENGINEER if it provides an orderly progression of the
Work to completion within any specified Milestones and
the Contract Times. Such acceptance will not impose on
ENGINEER responsibility for the progress schedule, for
sequencing, scheduling, or progress of the Work nor
interfere with or relieve CONTRACTOR from
CONTRACTOR's full responsibility therefor.
2. CONTRACTOR's schedule of Shop Drawing and
Sample submittals will be acceptable to ENGINEER if it
provides a workable arrangement for reviewing and
processing the required submittals.

ARTICLE 4 - AVAILABILITY OF LANDS;
SUBSURFACE AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS;
REFERENCE POINTS
4.01 Availability of Lands
A. OWNER shall furnish the Site. OWNER shall notify
CONTRACTOR of any encumbrances or restrictions not of
general application but specifically 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. If CONTRACTOR and OWNER 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, as a result of any delay in OWNER's
furnishing the Site, CONTRACTOR may make a Claim
therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
00700 - 11
B. Upon reasonable written request, OWNER shall
furnish CONTRACTOR with a current statement of record
legal title and legal description of the lands upon which the
Work is to be performed and OWNER's interest therein as
necessary for giving notice of or fIling a mechanic's or
construction lien against such lands in accordance with
applicable Laws and Regulations.
C. CONTRACTOR shall 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. Repons and Drawings:
Conditions identify:
The Supplementary
1. those reports of explorations and tests of
subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Site that
ENGINEER has used in preparing the Contract Docu-
ments; 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 "technical 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, opmIOns, and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any CONTRACTOR interpretation of or
conclusion drawn from any "technical data" or any such
other data, interpretations, opinions, or information.

4.03 Differing Subsurface or Physical Conditions
I
A. Notice: If CONTRACTOR believes that any subsur-
face or physical condition at or contiguous to the Site that is
uncovered or revealed either:
I
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
I
2. is of such a nature as to require a change in the
Contract Documents; or
I
3. differs materially from that shown or indicated in
the Contract Documents; or
I
4. is of an 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;
I
I
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.
I
I
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 fmdings and
conclusions.
I
I
I
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, perfor-
mance of the Work; subject, however, to the following:
I
I
a. such condition must meet anyone or more of
the categories described in paragraph 4.03.A; and
I
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 paragraphs 9.08
and 11.03.

2. CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times if:
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, exploration,
test, or study of the Site and contiguous areas
required by the Bidding Requirements or Contract
Documents to be conducted by or for CON-
TRACTOR prior to CONTRACTOR's making such
fmal commitment; or
c. CONTRACTOR failed to give the written
notice within the time and as required by paragraph
4.03.A.
3. If OWNER 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.
4.04 Underground Facilities
A. Shown or Indicated: The information and data shown
or indicated in the Contract Documents with respect to
existing Underground Facilities at or contiguous to the Site
is based on information and data furnished to OWNER or
ENGINEER by the owners of such Underground Facilities,
including OWNER, or by others. Unless it is otherwise
expressly provided in the Supplementary Conditions:
1. OWNER and ENGINEER shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any such
information or data; and
2. the cost of all of the following will be included in
the Contract Price, and CONTRACTOR shall have full
responsibility for:
a. reviewing and checking all such information
and data,
00700 - 13
b. locating all Underground Facilities sho\'ffi or
indicated in the Contract Documents,
c. coordination of the Work with the owners of
such Underground Facilities, including OWNER,
during construction, and
d. the safety and protection of all such Under-
ground Facilities and repairing any damage thereto
resulting from the Work.
B. Not Shown or Indicated
1. If an Underground Facility is uncovered or
revealed at or contiguous to the Site which was not shown
or indicated, or not shown or indicated with 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 such Underground Facility.
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 of 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 or indicated
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.
4.05 Reference Points
A. OWNER shall provide engineering surveys to
establish reference points for construction which in
ENGINEER's judgment are necessary to enable CON-
TRACTOR to proceed with the Work. CONTRACTOR

A. Reports and Drawings: Reference is made to the
Supplementary Conditions for the identification of those
reports and drawings relating to a Hazardous Environmental
Condition identified at the Site, if any, that have been utilized
by the ENGINEER in the preparation of 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 "technical 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, Oplll10nS and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any CONTRACTOR interpretation of or
conclusion drawn from any "technical data" or any such
other data, interpretations, opinions or information.
C. CONTRACTOR shall not be responsible for any
Hazardous Environmental Condition uncovered or revealed
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 CON-
TRACTOR 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 immedi-
ately: (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 resumed 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 Times, or both, as a result of such Work stop-
page or such special conditions under which Work is agreed
to be resumed by CONTRACTOR, either party may make a
Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
F. If after receipt of such written notice
CONTRACTOR does not agree to resume such Work based
on a reasonable belief it is unsafe, or does not agree to
resume such Work under such special conditions, then
OWNER may order the portion of the Work that is in the
area affected by such condition to be deleted from the Work.
If OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot agree as to
entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of an
adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times as a result of
deleting such portion of the Work, then either party may
make a Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
OWNER may have such deleted portion of the Work
performed by OWNER's own forces or others in accordance
with Article 7.
G. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and
Regulations, OWNER shall indemnify and hold harmless
CONTRACTOR, Subcontractors, ENGINEER,
ENGINEER's Consultants and the officers, directors,
partners, employees, agents, other consultants, and
subcontractors of each and any of them from and against 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 a
Hazardous Environmental Condition, provided that such
Hazardous Environmental Condition: (i) was not shown or
indicated in the Drawings or Specifications or identified in
the Contract Documents to be included within the scope of
the Work, and (ii) was not created by CONTRACTOR or by
anyone for whom CONTRACTOR is responsible. Nothing

caused by the perils or causes of loss covered thereby. All
such policies shall contain provisions to the effect that in the
event of payment of any loss or damage the insurers will
have no rights of recovery against any of the insureds or
additional insureds thereunder. OWNER and CONTRAC-
TOR waive all rights against each other and their respective
officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, and other

C. Any insurance policy maintained by OWNER cover-
ing any loss, damage or consequential loss referred to in
paragraph 5.07.B shall contain provisions to the effect that in
the event of payment of any such loss, damage, or
consequential loss, the insurers will have no rights of
recovery against CONTRACTOR, Subcontractors,
ENGINEER, or ENGINEER's Consultants and the officers,
directors, partners, employees, agents, and other consultants
and subcontractors of each and any of them.
5.08 Receipt and Application of Insurance Proceeds
A. Any insured loss under the policies of insurance
required by paragraph 5.06 will be adjusted with OWNER

any applicable mortgage clause and of paragraph 5.08.B.
OWNER shall deposit in a separate account any money so
received and shall distribute it in accordance with such agree-
ment as the parties in interest may reach. If no other special
agreement is reached, the damaged Work shall be repaired or
replaced, the moneys so received applied on account thereof,
and the Work and the cost thereof covered by an appropriate
Change Order or Written Amendment.
-
B. OWNER as fiduciary shall have power to adjust and
settle any loss with the insurers unless one of the parties in
interest shall object in writing within 15 days after the
occurrence of loss to OWNER's exercise of this power. If
such objection be made, OWNER as fiduciary shall make
settlement with the insurers in accordance with such
agreement as the parties in interest may reach. If no such
agreement among the parties in interest is reached, OWNER
as fiduciary shall adjust and settle the loss with the insurers
and, if required in writing by any party in interest, OWNER
as fiduciary shall give bond for the proper performance of
such duties.
5.09 Acceptance of Bonds and Insurance; Option to
Replace

the objecting party shall so notify the other party in writing
within 10 days after receipt of the certificates (or other
evidence requested) required by paragraph 2.05.C. OWNER
and CONTRACTOR shall each provide to the other such
additional information in respect of insurance provided as the
other may reasonably request. If either party does not
purchase or maintain all of the Bonds and insurance required
of such party by the Contract Documents, such party shall
notify the other party in writing of such failure to purchase
prior to the start of the Work, or of such failure to maintain
prior to any change in the required coverage. Without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, the other party may
elect to obtain equivalent Bonds or insurance to protect such
other party's interests at the expense of the party who was
required to provide such coverage, and a Change Order shall
be issued to adjust the Contract Price accordingly.
5.10 Partial Utilization, Acknowledgment of Property
Insurer
A. If OWNER fmds it necessary to occupy or use a
portion or portions of the Work prior to Substantial
Completion of all the Work as provided in paragraph 14.05,
no such use or occupancy shall commence before the insurers
providing the property insurance pursuant to paragraph 5.06
have acknowledged notice thereof and in writing effected any
changes in coverage necessitated thereby. The insurers
providing the property insurance shall consent by endorse-
ment on the policy or policies, but the property insurance
shall not be canceled or permitted to lapse on account of any
such partial use or occupancy.
ARTICLE 6 - CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

6.02 Labor; Working Hours
A. CONTRACTOR shall provide competent, suitably
qualified personnel to survey, layout, and construct the
Work as required by the Contract Documents. CON-
TRACTOR shall at all times maintain good discipline and
order at the Site.
B. Except as otherwise required for the safety or
protection of persons or the Work or property at the Site or
adjacent thereto, and except as otherwise stated in the
Contract Documents, all Work at the Site shall be performed
during regular working hours, and CONTRACTOR will not
permit overtime work or the performance of Work on
Saturday, Sunday, or any legal holiday without OWNER's
written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld)
given after prior written notice to ENGINEER.
6.03 Services, Materials, and Equipment
A. Unless otherwise specified in the General Re-
quirements, CONTRACTOR shall provide and assume full
responsibility for all services, materials, equipment, labor,
transportation, construction equipment and machinery, tools,
appliances, fuel, power, light, heat, telephone, water,
sanitary facilities, temporary facilities, and all other facilities
and incidentals necessary for the performance, testing,
start-up, and completion of the Work.
B. All materials and equipment incorporated into the
Work shall be as specified or, if not specified, shall be of
good quality and new, except as otherwise provided in the
Contract Documents. All warranties and guarantees
specifically called for by the Specifications shall expressly
run to the benefit of OWNER. If required by ENGINEER,
CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory evidence
(including reports of required tests) as to the source, kind,
and quality of materials and equipment. All materials and
equipment shall be stored, applied, installed, connected,
erected, protected, used, cleaned, and conditioned in
accordance with instructions of the applicable Supplier,
except as otherwise may be provided in the Contract Docu-
ments.
6.04 Progress Schedule
A. CONTRACTOR shall adhere to the progress schedule
established in accordance with paragraph 2.07 as it may be
adjusted from time to time as provided below.
1. CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for
acceptance (to the extent indicated in paragraph 2.07)
proposed adjustments in the progress schedule that will
not result in changing the Contract Times (or Milestones).
Such adjustments will conform generally to the progress
schedule then in effect and additionally will comply with
any provisions of the General Requirements applicable
thereto.
2. Proposed adjustments in the progress schedule
that will change the Contract Times (or Milestones) shall
be submitted in accordance with the requirements of
Article 12. Such adjustments may only be made by a
Change Order or Written Amendment in accordance with
Article 12.
6.05 Substitutes and "Or-Equals"
A. Whenever an item of material or equipment is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by 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, a.'ld 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.
1. "Or-Equal" Items: If 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 requirements 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;
b. CONTRACTOR 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
00700 - 19
,
paragraph 6.05.A.l, 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 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 pro-
posed 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 indi-
rectly 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 CON-
TRACTOR to furnish additional data about the pro-
posed substitute item.
B. Substitute Constmction Methods or Procedures: If a
specific means, method, technique, sequence, or procedure
of construction is shown or indicated in and expressly
00700 - 20
required by the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may
furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, technique,
sequence, or procedure of construction approved by ENGI-
NEER. CONTRA.CTOR 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 proce-
dure 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 ordered, 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 CON-
TRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR's expense 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. CONTRACFOR'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 Subcontractor,
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.
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 accordance 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) of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other
individual or entity so identified may be revoked on the basis
of reasonable objection after due investigation. CON-
TRACTOR shall submit an acceptable replacement for the
rejected Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or
entity, and the Contract Price will be adjusted by the differ-
ence 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 CONTRACTOR'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 ENGINEER and any such Subcontractor,
Supplier or other individual or entity, nor shall it create any
obligation on the part of OWNER or ENGINEER to payor
to see to the payment of any moneys due any such Subcon-
tractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity except as may
otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations.
D. CONTRACTOR shall 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 performing
or furnishing any of the Work to communicate with ENGI-
NEER through CONTRACTOR.
F. The divisions and sections of the Specifications and
the identifications of any Drawings shall not control
CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcontractors
or Suppliers or delineating the Work to be performed by any
specific trade.
G. All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a
Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an appropriate
agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor
00700 - 21
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 against
OWNER, CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER, ENGINEER's
Consultants, and all other individuals or entities identified in
the Supplementary Conditions to be listed as insureds or
additional insureds (and the officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, and other consultants and subcontractors
of each and any of them) for all losses and damages caused
by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any of the
perils or causes of loss covered by such policies and any
other property insurance applicable to the Work. If the
insurers on any such policies require separate waiver forms
to be signed by any Subcontractor or Supplier, CONTRAC-
TOR will obtain the same.
6.07 Patent Fees and Royalties
A. CONTRACTOR shall pay all license fees and
royalties and assume all costs incident to the use in the
performance of the Work or the incorporation in the Work of
any invention, design, process, product, or device which is
the subject of patent rights or copyrights held by others. If
a particular invention, design, process, product, or device is
specified in the Contract Documents for use in the
performance of the Work and if to the actual knowledge of
OWNER or ENGINEER its use is subject to patent rights or
copyrights calling for the payment of any license fee or
royalty to others, the existence of such rights shall be
disclosed by OWNER in the Contract Documents. To the
fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations,
CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless
OWNER, ENGINEER, ENGINEER's Consultants, and the
officers, directors, partners, employees or agents, and other
consultants of each and any of them from and against 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 any
infringement of patent rights or copyrights incident to the use
in the performance of the Work or resulting from the
incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process,
product, or device not specified in the Contract Documents.
6.08 Pennits
A. Unless otherwise provided in the Supplementary
Conditions, CONTRACTOR shall obtain and pay for all
construction permits and licenses. OWNER shall assist
CONTRACTOR, when necessary, in obtaining such permits
and licenses. CONTRACTOR shall pay all governmental
charges and inspection fees necessary for the prosecution of
the Work which are applicable at the time of opening of Bids,
or, if there are no Bids, on the Effective Date of the
Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall pay all charges of utility
owners for connections to the Work, and OWNER shall pay
all charges of such utility owners for capital costs related
thereto, such as plant investment fees.
6.09 Laws and Regulations
A. CONTRACTOR shall give all notices and comply
with all Laws and Regulations applicable to the performance
of the Work. Except where otherwise expressly required by
applicable Laws and Regulations, neither OWNER nor
ENGINEER shall be responsible for monitoring
CONTRACTOR's compliance with any Laws or Regulations.
B. If CONTRACTOR performs any Work knowing or
having reason to know that it is contrary to Laws or
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 subject of an
adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times. If OWNER
and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree on entitlement to or
on the amount or extent, if any, of any such adjustment, a
Claim may be made therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
6.10 Taxes
A. CONTRACTOR shall pay all sales, consumer, use,
and other similar taxes required to be paid by CONTRAC-
TOR in accordance with the Laws and Regulations of the
place of the Project which are applicable during the
performance of the Work.
6.11 Use of Site and Other Areas
A. Limitation on Use of Site and Other Areas
1. CONTRACTOR shall confme construction
equipment, the storage of materials and equipment, and
the operations of workers to the Site and other areas
permitted by Laws and Regulations, and shall not
00700 - 22
unreasonably encumber the Site and other areas with
construction equipment or other materials or equipment.
CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for any
damage to any such land or area, or to the owner or
occupant thereof, or of any adjacent land or areas
resulting from the performance of the Work.
2. Should any claim be made by any such owner or
occupant because of the performance of the Work,
CONTRACTOR shall promptly settle with such other
party by negotiation or otherwise resolve the claim by
arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding or at
law.
3. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and
Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold
harmless OWNER, ENGINEER, ENGINEER's
Consultant, and the officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, and other consultants of each and any
of them from and against 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 any claim or action,
legal or equitable, brought by any such owner or occupant
against OWNER, ENGINEER, or any other party
indemnified hereunder to the extent caused by or based
upon CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work.
B. Removal of Debris During Performance of the Work:
During the progress of the Work CONTRACTOR shall keep
the Site and other areas free from accumulations of waste
materials, rubbish, and other debris. Removal and disposal
of such waste materials, rubbish, and other debris shall con-
form to applicable Laws and Regulations.
C. Cleaning: Prior to Substantial Completion of the
Work CONTRACTOR shall clean the Site and make it ready
for utilization by OWNER. At the completion of the Work
CONTRACTOR shall remove from the Site all tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery, and
surplus materials and shall restore to original condition all
property not designated for alteration by the Contract
Documents.
D. Loading Structures: CONTRACTOR shall not load
nor permit any part of any structure to be loaded in any
manner that will endange( the structure, nor shall
CONTRACTOR subject any parr of the Work or adjacent
property to stresses or pressures that will endanger it.

and clarifications in good order and annotated to show
changes made during construction. These record documents
together with all approved Samples and a counterpart of all
approved Shop Drawings will be available to ENGINEER for
reference. Upon completion of the Work, these record
documents, Samples, and Shop Drawings will be delivered to
ENGINEER for OWNER.
6.13 Safety and Protection
A. CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for
initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety precautions
and programs in connection with the Work. CONlRACTOR
shall take all necessary precautions for the safety of, and
shall provide the necessary protection to prevent damage,
injury or loss to:
1. all persons on the Site or who may be affected
by the Work;
2. all the Work and materials and equipment to be
incorporated therein, whether in storage on or off the
Site; and
3. other property at the Site or adjacent thereto,
including trees, shrubs, lawns, walks, pavements,
roadways, structures, utilities, and Underground Facilities
not designated for removal, relocation, or replacement in
the course of construction.
B. CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable
Laws and Regulations relating to the safety of persons or
property, or to the protection of persons or property from
damage, injury, or loss; and shall erect and maintain all
necessary safeguards for such safety and protection.
CONTRACTOR shall notify owners of adjacent property and
of Underground Facilities and other utility Ov,l1ers when
prosecution of the Work may affect them, and shall cooperate
with them in the protection, removal, relocation, and
replacement of their property. All damage, injury, or loss to
any property referred to in paragraph 6.13.A.2 or 6.13.A.3
caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by CON-
TRACTOR, any Subcontractor, Supplier, or any other
individual or entity directly or indirectly employed by any of
them to perform any of the Work, or anyone for whose acts
any of them may be liable, shall be remedied by
CONTRACTOR (except damage or loss attributable to the
fault of Drawings or Specifications or to the acts or
omissions of OWNER or ENGINEER or ENGINEER's Con-
sultant, or anyone employed by any of them, or anyone for
whose acts any of them may be liable, and not attributable,
directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to the fault or
negligence of CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor,
Supplier, or other individual or entity directly or indirectly
employed by any of them). CONTRACTOR's duties and
00700 - 23
responsibilities for safety and for protection of the Work shall
continue until such time as all the Work is completed and
ENGINEER has issued a notice to OWNER' and
CONTRACTOR in accordance with paragraph 14.07.B that
the Work is acceptable (except as otherwise expressly
provided in connection with Substantial Completion).
6.14 Safety Representative
A. CONTRACTOR shall designate a qualified and
experienced safety representative at the Site whose duties and
responsibilities shall be the prevention of accidents and the
maintaining and supervising of safety precautions and
programs.
6.15 Hazard Communication Programs
A. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for coordinating
any exchange of material safety data sheets or other hazard
communication information required to be made available to
or exchanged between or among employers at the Site in
accordance with Laws or Regulations.
6.16 Emergencies
A. In emergencies affecting the safety or protection of
persons or the Work or property at the Site or adjacent
thereto, CONTRACTOR is obligated to act to prevent
threatened damage, injury, or loss. CONTRACTOR shall
give ENGINEER prompt written notice if CONTRACTOR
believes that any significant changes in the Work or
variations from the Contract Documents have been caused
thereby or are required as a result thereof. If ENGINEER
determines that a change in the Contract Documents is
required because of the action taken by CONTRACTOR in
response to such an emergency, a Work Change Directive or
Change Order will be issued.
6.17 Shop Drawings and Samples
A. CONTRACTOR shall submit Shop Drawings to
ENGINEER for review and approval in accordance with the
acceptable schedule of Shop Drawings and Sample
submittals. All submittals will be identified as ENGINEER
may require and in the number of copies specified in the
General Requirements. The data shown on the Shop
Drawings will be complete with respect to quantities, dimen-
sions, specified performance and design criteria, materials,
and similar data to show ENGINEER the services, materials,
and equipment CONTRACTOR proposes to provide and to
enable ENGINEER to review the information for the limited
purposes required by paragraph 6.17 .E.
B. CONTRACTOR shall also submit Samples to
ENGINEER for review and approval in accordance with the
acceptable schedule of Shop Drawings and Sample
submittals. Each Sample will be identified clearly as to
material, Supplier, pertinent data such as catalog numbers,
and the use for which intended and otherwise as ENGINEER
may require to enable ENGINEER to review the submittal
for the limited purposes required by paragraph 6.17 .E. The
numbers of each Sample to be submitted will be as specified
in the Specifications.
C. Where a Shop Drawing or Sample is required by the
Contract Documents or the schedule of Shop Drawings and
Sample submittals acceptable to ENGINEER as required by
paragraph 2.07, any related Work performed prior to
ENGINEER's review and approval of the pertinent submittal
will be at the sole expense and responsibility of
CONTRACTOR.
D. Submittal Procedures
1. Before submitting each Shop Drawing or Sample,
CONTRACTOR shall have determined and verified:
a. all field measurements, quantities, dimen-
sions, specified performance criteria, installation
requirements, materials, catalog numbers, and
similar information with respect thereto;
b. all materials with respect to intended use,
fabrication, shipping, handling, storage, assembly,
and installation pertaining to the performance of the
Work;
c. all information relative to means, methods,
techniques, sequences, and procedures of construc-
tion and safety precautions and programs incident
thereto; and
d. CONTRACTOR shall also have reviewed
and coordinated each Shop Drawing or Sample with
other Shop Drawings and Samples and with the
requirements of the Work and the Contract Docu-
ments.
2. Each submittal shall bear a stamp or specific
written indication that CONTRACTOR has satisfied
CONTRACTOR's obligations under the Contract
Documents with respect to CONTRACTOR's review and
approval of that submittal.
3. At the time of each submittal, CONTRACTOR
shall give ENGINEER specific written notice of such
variations, if any, that the Shop Drawing or Sample
submitted may have from the requirements of the
Contract Documents, such notice to be in a written com-
munication separate from the submittal; and, in addition,
shall cause a specific notation to be made on each Shop
00700 - 24
Drawing and Sample submitted to ENGINEER for review
and approval of each such variation.
E. ENGINEER's Review
1. ENGINEER will timely review and approve
Shop Drawings and Samples in accordance with the
schedule of Shop Drawings and Sample submittals
acceptable to ENGINEER. ENGINEER's review and
approval will be only to determine if the items covered by
the submittals will, after installation or incorporation in
the Work, conform to the information given in the
Contract Documents and be compatible with the design
concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole
as indicated by the Contract Documents.
2. ENGINEER's review and approval will not
extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures of construction (except where a particular
means, method, technique, sequence, or procedure of
construction is specifically and expressly called for by the
Contract Documents) or to safety precautions or programs
incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate
item as such will not indicate approval of the assembly in
which the item functions.
3. ENGINEER's review and approval of Shop
Drawings or Samples shall not relieve CONTRACTOR
from responsibility for any variation from the require-
ments of the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR
has in writing called ENGINEER's attention to each such
variation at the time of each submittal as required by
paragraph 6.17.D.3 and ENGINEER has given written
approval of each such variation by specific written
notation thereof incorporated in or accompanying the
Shop Drawing or Sample approval; nor will any approval
by ENGINEER relieve CONTRACTOR from
responsibility for complying with the requirements of
paragraph 6.17. D.1.
F. Resubmittal Procedures
1. CONTRACTOR shall make corrections required
by ENGINEER and shall return the required number of
corrected copies of Shop Drawings and submit as
required new Samples for review and approval. CON-
TRACTOR shall direct specific attention in writing to
revisions other than the corrections called for by ENGI-
NEER on previous submittals.
6.18 Continuing the Work
A. CONTRACTOR shall carry on the Work and adhere
to the progress schedule during all disputes or disagreements
with OWNER. No Work shall be delayed or postponed
pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements, except

6.19 CONIRACJOR's General Warranty and Guarantee
A. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to
OWNER, ENGINEER, and ENGINEER's Consultants that
all Work will be in accordance with the Contract Documents
and will not be defective. CONTRACTOR's warranty and
guarantee hereunder excludes defects or damage caused by:
1. abuse, modification, or improper maintenance or
operation by persons other than CONTRACTOR, Sub-
contractors, Suppliers, or any other individual or entity

ENGINEER pursuant to this paragraph 9.09 with respect to
any such Claim, dispute, or other matter (except any which
have been waived by the making or acceptance of [mal
payment as provided in paragraph 14.07) will be a condition
precedent to any exercise by OWNER or CONTRACTOR of
such rights or remedies as either may otherwise have under
the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect
of any such Claim, dispute, or other matter.

C. CONTRACTOR's Fee: When all the Work is
performed on the basis of cost-plus, CONTRACTOR's fee
shall be determined as set forth in the Agreement. When the
value of any Work covered by a Change Order or when a
Claim for an adjustment in Contract Price is determined on
the basis of Cost of the Work, CONTRACTOR's fee shall be
determined as set forth in paragraph 12.01.C.
D. Documentation: Whenever the Cost of the 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. It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included
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 CONTRAC-
TOR (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials
and equipment required by the allowances 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, overhead,
profit, and other expenses contemplated for the allow-
00700 - 32
I
ances have been included in the Contract Price and not
in the allowances, and no demand for additional payment
on account of any of the foregoing will be valid.
I
I
B. Prior to fmal 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.
I
11.03 Unit Price Work
I
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 Agree-
ment. 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.
I
I
I
I
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.
I
I
C. OWNER or CONTRACTOR may make a Claim for
an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with
paragraph 10.05 if:
I
1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work
performed by CONTRACTOR differs materially and
significantly from the estimated quantity of such item
indicated in the Agreement; and
I
2. there is no corresponding adjustment with
respect any other item of Work; and
I
3. if CONTRACTOR believes that
CONTRACTOR is entitled to an increase in Contract
Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or
OWNER believes that OWNER is entitled to a decrease
in Contract Price and the parties are unable to agree as
to the amount of any such increase or decrease.

ARTICLE 12 - CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE;
CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES
I
12.01 Change of Contract Price
I
A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a
Change Order or by a Written Amendment. Any Claim for
an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be based on written
notice submitted by the party making the Claim to the
ENGINEER and the other party to the Contract in accor-
dance with the provisions of paragraph 10.05.
I
I
B. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order
or of any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will
be determined as follows:
I
1. where the Work involved is covered by unit
prices contained in the Contract Documents, byapplica-
tion of such unit prices to the quantities of the items
involved (subject to the provisions of paragraph 11.03 );
or
I
I
2. where the Work involved is not covered by unit
prices contained in the Contract Documents, by a
mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an
allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in
accordance with paragraph 12.01.C.2); or
I
I
3. where the Work involved is not covered by unit
prices contained in the Contract Documents and agree-
ment to a lump sum is not reached under paragraph
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).
I
I
C. CONlRACIOR's Fee: The CONTRACTOR's fee
for overhead and profit shaH be determined as follows:
I
1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or
I
2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee
based on the following percentages of the various
portions of the Cost of the Work:
I
a. for costs incurred under paragraphs
11.01.A.l and 11.01.A.2, the CONTRACTOR's
fee shall be 15 percent;
I
b. for costs incurred under paragraph
11.01.A.3, the CONTRACTOR's fee shall be five
percent;
I
c. where one or more tiers of subcontracts are
on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no
I
00700 - 33
fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of paragraph
12.01.C.2.a is that the Subcontractor who actually
performs the Work, at whatever tier, will be paid
a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred by such
Subcontractor under paragraphs 11.01.A.1 and
11.01.A.2 and that any higher tier Subcontractor
and CONTRACTOR will each be paid a fee of five
percent of the amount paid to the next lower tier
Subcontractor;
d. no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs
itemized under paragraphs 11.01.A.4, 11.01.A.5,
and 11.01.B;
e. the amount of credit to be allowed by
CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any change which
results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount
of the actual net decrease in cost plus a deduction in
CONTRACTOR's fee by an amount equal to five
percent of such net decrease; and
f. when both additions and credits are in-
volved in anyone change, the adjustment in
CONTRACTOR's fee shall be computed on the
basis of the net change in accordance with para-
graphs 12.01.C.2.a through 12.01.C.2.e, inclu-
sive.
12.02 Change of Contract Times
A. The Contract Times (or Milestones) may only be
changed by a Change Order or by a Written Amendment.
Any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Times (or
Milestones) shall be based on written notice submitted by the
party making the claim to the ENGINEER and the 'other
party to the Contract in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 10.05.
B. Any adjustment of the Contract Times (or
Milestones) covered by a Change Order or of any Claim for
an adjustment in the Contract Times (or Milestones) will be
determined in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 12.
12.03 Delays Beyond CO,vTRACIOR's Control
A. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from
completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times
(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of
CONTRACTOR, the Contract Times (or Milestones) will be
extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such
delay if a Claim is made therefor as provided in paragraph
12.02.A. Delays beyond the control of CONTRACTOR
shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by
OWNER, acts or neglect of utility owners or other
contractors performing other work as contemplated by
Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather
conditions, or acts of God.
12.04 Delays Within CONTRACTOR's Control
A. The Contract Times (or Milestones) will not be
extended due to delays within the control of
CONTRACTOR. Delays attributable to and within the
control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be
delays within the control of CONTRACTOR.
12.05 Delays Beyond OWNER's and CONTRACTOR's
Control
A. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from complet-
ing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or
Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both OWNER
and CONTRACTOR, an extension of the Contract Times (or
Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such
delay shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy
for such delay.
12.06 Delay Damages
A. In no event shall OWNER or ENGINEER be liable
to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or any
other person or organization, or to any surety for or
employee or agent of any of them, for damages arising out of
or resulting from:
1. delays caused by or within the control of CON-
TRACTOR; or
2. delays beyond the control of both OWNER and
CONTRACTOR including but not limited to fires,'
floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, acts of
God, or acts or neglect by utility owners or other
contractors performing other work as contemplated by
Article 7.
B. Nothing in this paragraph 12.06 bars a change in
Contract Price pursuant to this Article 12 to compensate
CONTRACTOR due to delay, interference, or disruption
directly attributable to actions or inactions of OWNER or
anyone for whom OWNER is responsible.
ARTICLE 13 - TESTS AND INSPECTIONS;
CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF
DEFECTIVE WORK

I
to CONTRACTOR. All defective Work may be rejected,
corrected, or accepted as provided in this Article 13.
I
13.02 Access to Work
I
A. OWNER, ENGINEER, ENGINEER's Consultants,
other representatives and personnel of OWNER, independent
testing laboratories, and governmental agencies with
jurisdictional interests will have access to the Site and the
Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspecting,
and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide them proper and
safe conditions for such access and advise them of
CONTRACTOR's Site safety procedures and programs so
that they may comply therewith as applicable.
I
I
I
13.03 Tests and Inspections
A. CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER timely
notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections,
tests, or approvals and shall cooperate with inspection and
testing personnel to facilitate required inspections or tests.
I
I
B. OWNER shall employ and pay for the services of an
independent testing laboratory to perform all inspections,
tests, or approvals required by the Contract Documents
except:
I
1. for inspections, tests, or approvals covered by
paragraphs 13.03.C and 13.03.D below;
I
2. that costs incurred in connection with tests or
inspections conducted pursuant to paragraph 13.04.B
shall be paid as provided in said paragraph 13.04.B; and
I
3. as otherwise specifically provided in the Con-
tract Documents.
I
C. If Laws or Regulations of any public body having
jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) specifically to
be inspected, tested, or approved by an employee or other
representative of such public body, CONTRACTOR shall
assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such
inspections, tests, or approvals, pay all costs in connection
therewith, and furnish ENGINEER the required certificates
of inspection or approval.
I
I
I
D. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for arranging
and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any
inspections, tests, or approvals required for OWNER's and
ENGINEER's acceptance of materials or equipment to be
incorporated in the Work; or acceptance of materials, mix
designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to
CONTRACTOR's purchase thereof for incorporation in the
Work. Such inspections, tests, or approvals shall be
performed by organizations acceptable to OWNER and
ENGINEER.
I
I
I
00700 - 34
I
I
I
E. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be
inspected, tested, or approved is covered by CONTRACTOR
without written concurrence of ENGINEER, it must, if
requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation.
I
F. Uncovering Work as provided in paragraph 13.03.E
shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense unless CON-
TRACTOR has given ENGINEER timely notice of
CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and ENGI-
NEER bas not acted with reasonable promptness in response
to such notice.
I
I
13.04 Uncovering Work
I
A. If any Work is covered contrary to the written
request of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by ENGINEER,
be uncovered for ENGINEER's observation and replaced at
CONTRACTOR's expense.
I
B. If ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable
that covered Work be observed by ENGINEER or inspected
or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at ENGINEER's
request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise make available
for observation, inspection, or testing as ENGINEER may
require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all
necessary labor, material, and equipment. If it is found that
such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall pay all
Claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited
to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, anorneys, and
other professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such
uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, and testing,
and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction (including
but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work
of others); and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price. If the parties are unable to
agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a Claim
therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05. If, however, such
Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be
allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of
the Contract Times (or Milestones), or both, directlyanribut-
able to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection,
testing, replacement, and reconstruction. If the parties are
unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof,
CONTRACTOR may make a Claim therefor as provided in
paragraph 10.05.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
13.05 OWNER May Stop the Work
I
A. If the Work is defective, or CONTRACTOR fails 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
I
I
00700 - 35
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.
13.06 Correction or Removal of Defective Work
A. CONTRACTOR shall correct all defective Work,
whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if the
Work has been rejected by ENGINEER, remove it from the
Project and replace it with Work that is not defective.
CONTRACTOR shall pay 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 correction or removal
(including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement
of work of others).
13.07 Correction Period
A. If within one year after the date of Substantial
Completion or such longer period of time as may be
prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any
applicable special guarantee required by the Contract
Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract
Documents, any Work is found to be defective, or if the
repair of any damages to the land or areas made available for
CONTRACTOR's use by OWNER or permitted by Laws and
Regulations as contemplated in paragraph 6.II.A is found to
be defective, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost
to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written
instructions: (i) repair such defective land or areas, or (ii)
correct such defective Work or, if the defective Work has
been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the Project and
replace it with Work that is not defective, and (iii) satisfac-
torily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to
other Work, to the work of others or other land or areas
resulting therefrom. If CONTRACTOR does not promptly
comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or
damage, OWNER may have the defective Work corrected or
repaired or may have the rejected Work removed and
replaced, and 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 correction or repair or such
removal and replacement (including but not limited to all
costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid
by CONTRACTOR.
B. In special circumstances where a particular item of
equipment is placed in continuous service before Substantial
Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that
item may start to run from an earlier date if so provided in
the Specifications or by Written Amendment.
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 not be construed
as a substitute for or a waiver of the provisions of any
applicable statute of limitation or repose.
13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and
replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to
ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment,
ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so.
CONTRACTOR shall pay 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)
attributable to OWNER's evaluation of and 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. If the 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. If CONTRACTOR 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 accordance
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. In exercising the rights and remedies under this
paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. In
I
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 incorpo-
rate 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 ENGINEER and
ENGINEER's Consultants access to the Site to enable
OWNER to exercise the rights and remedies under this
paragraph.
I
I
I
I
I
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 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 CON-
TRACTOR, 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. If the 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.
I
I
I
I
I
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.
I
I
ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND
COMPLETION
I
14.01 Schedule of Values
I
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.
I
I
I
00700 - 36
I
I
I
14.02 Progress Payments
A. Applications for Payments
I
1. At least 20 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 OWKER 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 or other arrangements
to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which must
be satisfactory to OWNER.
I
I
I
I
I
I
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.
I
I
3. The amount of retainage with respect to pro-
gress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.
I
B. Review of Applications
I
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, CO~TRACTOR may make the necessary
corrections and resubmit the Application.
I
I
I
2. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment
requested in an Application for Payment will constirute
a representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based on
ENGINEER's observations on the Site of the executed
Work as an experienced and qualified design profession-
al 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:
I
I
I
00700 - 37
a. the Work has progressed to the point
indicated;
b. the quality of the Work is generally in
accordance with the Contract Documents (subject 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 payment
appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is
ENGINEER's responsibility to observe the Work.
3. By recommending any such payment ENGI-
NEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented
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 assigned to
ENGINEER in the Contract Documents; or (ii)that
there may not be other matters or issues between the
parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR 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 recommendation
of any payment, including fmal 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 CON-
TRACTOR's failure to comply with Laws and Regu-
lations 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 replace-
ment;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Written Amendment or Change Orders;
c. OWNER has been required to correct
defective Work or complete Work in accordance
with paragraph 13.09; or
d. ENGINEER has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in para-
graph 15.02.A.
C. Payment Becomes Due
I. Ten days after presentation of the Application
for Payment to OWNER with ENGINEER's recom-
mendation, the amount recommended will (subject to the
provisions of paragraph 14.02.D) become due, and when
due will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR.
D. Reduction in Payment
I. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the
full amount recommended by ENGINEER because:
a. claims have been made against OWNER on
account of CONTRACTOR's performance or fur-
nishing of the Work;
b. Liens have been fIled in connection with the
Work, except where CONTRACTOR has delivered
a specific Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure
the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens;
c. there are other items entitling OWNER to
a set-off against the amount recommended; or
d. OWNER has actual knowledge of the occur-
rence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs
14.02.B.5.a through 14.02.B.5.c or paragraph
15.02.A.
2. If OWNER refuses to make payment of the 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.
00700 - 38
I
OWNER shall promptly pay CONTRACTOR the
amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to
by OWNER and CONTRACTOR, when CONTRAC-
TOR corrects to OWNER's satisfaction the reasons for
such action.
I
I
3. If it is subsequently determined that OWNER's
refusal of payment was not justified, the amount
wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an amount due as
determined by paragraph 14.02.C.1.
I
I
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.
I
I
14.04 Substantial Completion
I
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, CONTRACTOR, 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 defmitive 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 Comple-
tion ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRAC-
TOR a wrinen recommendation as to division of responsibili-

14.05 Partial Utilization
I
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 of the
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 Completion of all the Work
subject to the following conditions.
I
I
I
I
1. OWNER at any time may request CON-
TRACTOR 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 Completion 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 substantially 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.

or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify
OWNER against any Lien.
B. Review of Application and Acceptance
1. If, on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of
the Work during construction and fmal inspection, and
ENGINEER's review of the fmal Application for
Payment and accompanying documentation as required
by the Contract Documents, ENGINEER is satisfied that
the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR's
other obligations under the Contract Documents have
been fulfilled, ENGINEER will, within ten days after
receipt of the fmal Application for Payment, indicate in
writing ENGINEER's recommendation of payment and
present the Application for Payment to OWNER for pay-
ment. At the same time ENGINEER will also give
written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the
Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of
paragraph 14.09. Otherwise, ENGINEER will return
the Application for Payment to CONTRACTOR,
indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to
recommend fmal payment, in which case CON-

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 retain age 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 CON-
TRACTOR to ENGINEER with the Application for such
payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and
conditions governing fmal payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of Claims.
14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of fmal payment will
constitute:
00700 - 40
I
1. a waiver of all Claims by OWNER against
CONTRACTOR, except Claims arising from unsettled
Liens, from defective Work appearing after fmal
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
I
I
I
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
I
I
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 CON-
TRACTOR 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.
I
I
I
15.02 OWNER May Tenninatefor Cause
I
A. The occurrence of anyone or more of the following
events will justify termination for cause:
I
1. CONTRACTOR's persistent failure to perform
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);
I
I
2. CONTRACTOR's disregard of Laws or
Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
I
3. CONTRACTOR's disregard of the authority of
ENGINEER; or
I
4. CONTRACTOR's violation in any substantial
way of any provisions of the Contract Documents.
I
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
I
I
I
I
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. If the 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.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
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.
I
I
15.03 OWNER May Terminate For Convenience
I
A. Upon seven days written notice to CONTRACTOR
and ENGINEER, OWNER may, without cause and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy of OWNER, elect to
terminate the Contract. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall
be paid (without duplication of any items):
I
1. for completed and acceptable Work executed 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;
I
I
2. for expenses sustained prior to the effective date
of termination in performing services and furnishing
labor, materials, or equipment as required by the
Contract Documents in connection with uncompleted
Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such expenses;
I
I
3. for all claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
I
00700 - 41
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other 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.
15.04 CONIRACIOR May Stop Work or Terminate
A. If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the
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 fmally 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 ENGI-
NEER has failed to act on an Application for Payment within
30 days after it is submitted, or OWNER has failed for 30
days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum fmaIIy determined to
be due, CONTRACTOR may, seven days after written notice
to OWNER and ENGINEER, stop the Work until payment
is made of all such amounts due CONTRACTOR, including
interest thereon. The provisions 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.
ARTICLE 16 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.01 Methods and Procedures
A. Dispute resolution methods and procedures, if any,
shall be as set forth in the Supplementary Conditions. If no
method and procedure has been set forth, and subject to the
provisions of paragraphs 9.09 and 10.05, OWNER and
CONTRACTOR may exercise such rights or remedies as
either may otherwise have under the Contract Documents or
by Laws or Regulations in respect of any dispute.
I

Backfill at the "pipe zone" shall be accomplished with select material hand placed and tamped
carefully around and over the pipe to a depth of one foot (I') above the top of the pipe. Each
successive layer of backfill material shall be thoroughly compacted using suitable mechanical
compaction equipment.
Fill compacted with heavy, self-propelled compaction equipment shall be placed in lifts not to
exceed 12 inches in loose thickness. Fill compacted with hand operated compaction equipment
shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 6 inches in loose thickness.
Each lift shall be compacted over the full width of the excavated area. The CONTRACTOR shall
carry out his compunction to insure that the material placed below 3' of the top of the excavation
and l' above the pipe shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% of standard proctor dry density.
The material placed in the top 3' of the trench as well as the aggregate base shall be compacted in
the same manner to a minimum of 100% standard proctor dry density.
Service trenches must be compacted in the same manner as the main trench. In areas where curb
and gutter exists, sufficient curbing shall be removed to allow the prescribed compaction over the
entire disturbed area.
Utilities installed in "green" areas (not below pavement) shall be compacted to a minimum of
90% of standard proctor dry density. Utilities installed in "green" areas (not below pavement)
adjacent to proposed or existing houses shall be compacted to the same requirements as under
streets.
At the time of compaction, the moisture content of the embankment material shall be not more
than 4% over the soil's optimum moisture content, as determined by standard proctor, where a
minimum of 95% of standard proctor dry density is required, and shall be not less than 65% nor
more than 102% of the soil's optimum moisture content, as determined by standard proctor,
where a minimum of 100% of standard proctor dry density is required.
The minimum moisture requirement shall not apply to materials classified by the ENGINEER as
Granular Material, nor shall the above specified moisture controls apply to materials placed
without specific density control. However, all materials placed without moisture control shall be
subject to the specified layer construction requirements. The soils report, as represented on this
project, may contain additional or more stringent requirements. In all cases, the soils report shall
govern the construction techniques used with respect to the compactive efforts on this project.
The CONTRACTOR is responsible for obtaining and understanding all requirements within this
report.
In all cases, the CONTRACTOR shall blade and compact the roadway after the trench has been
backfilled, so that it shall be passable to traffic and in a free draining condition at all times. The
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the roadway in a condition acceptable to the ENGINEER at all
times until final approval of the entire work by the OWNER. Water shall be used for dust control
and moisture conditioning of the soil and shall be applied as directed by the ENGINEER.
The CONTRACTOR shall remedy, at his own expense, any defects that appear in the backfill for
a period of one year following the final written letter of acceptance of the project from the City
and or ENGINEER.
D.
Testing
SPU-5
Prior to final acceptance of each section of sewer line, the CONTRACTOR shall flush a ball, the
full diameter of the sewer, through the line. This shall be done to remove any dirt or debris
which has entered the new installation. The dirt and debris shall be prevented from entering the
existing sewer system by means of water-tight plugs or other suitable methods. The Contractor
shall televise all sanitary sewer mains after construction is complete. The Contractor shall give
the City 48 hour notice prior to the start of any test and all testing must be witnessed by a City
Representative. Each reach of the sewer shall meet the requirements of the following tests:
1. Leakage tests
i. Upon completion of the mainline, services and manhole installation.
11. Hydrostatic Pressure Test

Introduction
I
A.I. Project
I
Contractors Property Developers Company (CPDC), is planning to develop the Balfany Property for
use as a single family residence housing subdivision. The project is located north of Interstate
Highway 94 between School Lake and Mud Lake, in Albertville, Minnesota. A parcel of land
located on the east side of Mud Lake is also being considered for development.
I
I
A.2. Purpose
I
The purpose of this evaluation was to provide subsurface soil profile and groundwater data to help
CPDC prepare plans and specifications for the proposed construction.
I
A.3. Scope
I
The desired scope of services was outlined in a request-for-proposal sent via facsimile by Mr.
Dwight Jelle of Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (Westwood), acting on behalf of CPDC. On
September 28, 1999, we submitted a proposal to Mr. Homer Tompkins of CPDC. Mr. Tompkins
authorized us to proceed in accordance with the proposal. Our services \vere provided under the
terms of our General Conditions dated February I, 1996.
I
I
Our scope of services was limited to:
I
· coordinating the locating of underground utilities near the boring locations,
· drilling the penetration test borings to a depth of 20 feet,
· installing temporary piezometers in five of the boreholes to permit additional measurements of
groundwater levels,
· classifying the penetration test samples and preparing boring logs,
· conducting routine laboratory tests to aid in classification and engineering analysis,
· analyzing the results of the borings,
· formulating recommendations for earthwork, spread footing foundations and pavements.
· discussing the results and recommendations with Mr. Tompkins, and

· submitting this geotechnical evaluation report containing logs of the borings, our analysis of the
boring information, and recommendations for earthwork, spread footing foundations and
I
pavements.

A.5. Boring Locations and Elevations
I
We selected the locations of Borings ST-l through ST-4, P-5, ST-6, P-7, P-S, ST-9 and P-1O. The
locations of Borings ST- lIto ST-20 were selected by Westwood. The approximate locations are
shown on the attached sketches. All the boring locations were staked by Westwood.
I
Generally, the borings are denoted with an "ST" prefix, indicating they were penetration test borings.
Boring number 1,5, 7,8 and 10, however, are denoted with a "P" prefix, indicating that piezometers
were installed at those locations.
I
I
Ground surface elevations at the boring locations were provided by Westwood.

Materials Encountered
I
B.3.a. Topsoil. The borings generally encountered approximately 1/2 to 2 feet of topsoil at the
surface. The topsoil consisted of dark brown to black clayey sand, silty sand, lean clay and organic
clay. At the locations of Borings P-8, ST-Il, ST-12 and ST-20, however, the topsoil extended to
depths of 4 to 5 feet. The topsoil was moist to wet.
I
I
I
B.3.b. Anuvial Soils. At approximately half of the boring locations, soils consisted of alluvial
clayey sand, silty sand, poorly graded sand with silt, and lean clay, were encountered beneath the
topsoil. The alluvial soils extended to depths of approximately 4 to 14 feet. The alluvial soils were
generally brown or gray and moist although, at lower elevations throughout the site, the soils were
I
wet.

B.3.c. Glacial Till. Where alluvial soils were not encountered beneath the topsoil glacial till was
encountered. The till was also encountered beneath the alluvial soils. The till generally consisted of
I
moist, brown or gray clayey sand and lean clay.
I
B.3.d. Outwash. In Boring ST-2, poorly graded sand (glacial outwash) \vas encountered beneath
the till. The outwash was brown and moist.

B.3.e. Swamp Deposits. Boring ST-15 encountered swamp deposits consisting of peat and organic
clay to the 24 foot depth. These soiis were brown to black and weL
I
B.3.c. Penetration Resistances. During drilling, penetration resistance tests were performed in the
borings and the results are shown on the corresponding Log of Boring sheets in the column marked
"BPF' (blows per foot). These values provide and indication of the soils relative strength. Table I

BA. Groundwater Measurements
I
Although a static groundwater level was not observed in many of the borings during drilling, wet
soils were observed in samples collected in nearly all of the borings. After the auger had been
withdrawn from the holes, groundwater was not observed to cave-in depths ranging from 3 to 16

I
I
feeL Only Boring ST -] 5 encountered groundwater after withdrawal of the auger. The water was
encountered at a depth of 12 feet below the surface, which corresponded to an elevation of 950.
I
The soils encountered are generally fine-grained and tend to release water slowly. Thus it was likely
that insufficient time was available after auger withdrawal to allow groundwater to seep into the
holes. For this reason, we installed temporary piezometers in Borings P-], P-5, P-7, P-8 and P-] o.
Additional water level monitoring was done in order to define and further evaluate the static water
level. Table 2 presents the results of our extended monitoring at the piezometer locations.

Groundwater levels in the piezometers ranged from elevations 936 1/2 to 954, however, for
comparative purposes, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has determined that School and
Mud Lakes have an ordinary high water level (OHWL) of 947.3.
I
I
Seasonal and annual fluctuations of groundwater levels, and variations in the presence, number and
volume of perched groundwater deposits at the site, should be anticipated. At this site we anticipate
fluctuations in unison with the lakes.

B.S. Laboratory Tests

Results of our laboratory tests are presented in the follO\ving table. Although some laboratory tests
do not measure the engineering properties of subsurface materials directly, they can be lIsed to
estimate them empirically.

Analyses and Recommendations
I
c.t. Proposed Construction
I
Mr. Ed Hasek of Westwood indicated that the proposed development will include approximately 100
to 110 lots for single family residences. Sanitary sewers and watennains will also be installed. After
backfilling the utility trenches, roadways will be constructed.
I
Mr. Hasek also indicated the proposed residences will generally be look-out or walk-out homes with
lowest floor elevations set at least 4 feet above the OHWL of the lakes. This elevation would
I
correspond to approximate elevation 951 ~. The proposed residences will generally be one to two
I

I
I
story, wood-framed structures supported on shallow spread footing foundations. We anticipate that
the footing loads for these homes will not exceed 2,000 pounds per lineal foot of wall (plf).
I
I
We have assumed that the roads will have a relatively low volume of traffic, used primarily by
automobiles and light duty trucks and occasionally by refuse and delivery vehicles. We have further
assumed that axle loads for the automobile and light duty trucks will generally not exceed 7 tons and
axle loads for the refuse and delivery trucks will not exceed ]0 tons.
I
I
I
The pipe size and placement depth of the proposed warermains and sanitary se'vvers were not
finalized at the lime of this report. We have assumed that they will be placed less than] 5 feet below
existing grades.
I
We have further assumed that there ',viII be no homes constructed in the vicinity of Boring ST -15,
which encountered swamp deposits to a depth of 24 feel.
I
I
If our understanding of the proposed construction is not correct, jf the actual structural loads exceed
the assumed values, or if the design or location of the proposed residences change, we should be
informed. Additional analyses and revised recommendations may be necessary.
I
I
C.2. Evaluation of the Boring Data
I
C.2.a. Building Support. A comparison of the borehole surface elevations and the anticipated floor
elevations indicate that most of the structures' footings will be underlain with alluvial or glacial
soils, some of which were wet and soft. Such soils should not be depended on to provide direct
support to 2,000 plffootings. Provisions should be made to remove portions of these soils from
below the footings and replace them with compacted backfill. The softest of these soils appeared to
be located near Borings ST-3, P-8 and ST-12.
I
I
I
Although relatively competent soil may be encountered in most building areas, additional
subexcavations may be required depending on the condition of the soils at the time of construction.
Clayey soils are moisture- and strength sensitive, and exposure inclement weather and disturbance
I
I
Contractors Property Developers Com pany

Page 8
I
I
during construction could render them unstable, requiring partial removal. W ehighly recommend
that all footing excavations be observed by a soils technician at the time of construction to help
evaluate actual versus recommended subexcavation depths.
I
I
Excavations to remove the unsuitable soils should be oversized (widened) to provide lateral stability
for the backfill. We recommend the bottoms of the subexcavations be oversized I foot beyond the
edges of the footings for each foot of subexcavation below the bottoms of the footing (] : I
I
I
oversizing).
I
In any case, it is our opinion that. where very soft to rather soft and/or wet soils are exposed,
I
sufficient stability can be achieved by providing :2 feet of compacted backfill beneath the building
footings.
I
Since the excavation spoils \villlikely be wet and the excavation bottoms will likely be wet, we
recommend replacing these soils with "clean" coarse sand. Such materials are not likely to be found
on-site in large quantities. Perched water may increase the volume of excavation required by
softening exposed competent soils.
I
I
It is also important that we recommend the site be graded to prevent water from ponding in building
areas. If the subgrade soils become wet and disturbed, it may be necessary to remove even more soil
and replace it with drier backfill.
I
I
C.2.b. Pavement Support. Generally, the clayey soils encountered in the borings are suitable for
pavement support. Pavement performance could, however, still be affected by the variable
composition and competence of these soils. The effects of variable soils on pavements are also more
severe than on slabs, mainly because pavement subgradesare subject to seasonal freezing and
thawing. Such effects could be compounded by perched groundwater within a few feet of the
proposed pavement subgrades.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Contractors Property Developers Company
Project BPDX-99-14IA
December 15,1999
Page 9
I
I
I
In areas where rather soft clays are present \ve recommend removing them to a depth of at least 2
feet below subgrade elevations, and replacing them with compacted backfill. Grading in the
pavement areas should also be performed during dry weather to limit construction delays.
I
Due to the fine-grained nature of the soils and perched groundwater, a stabilization geotextile may be
I
needed in extreme circumstances. Consideration may also have to be given to using a sand
cushion/subbase instead of excavated clayey soils as backfill, to enhance subgrade stability,
I
especially during wet weather.
I
Sand used in compacted cushions belmv the pavements will drain more freely than the clayey soils
I
on which they lie. Because the sand could act as a reservoir for surface drainage and groundwater,
reducing subgrade strengths and contributing to frost heaving, we recommend that subdrains be
installed in the sand cushion.
I
C.2.c. Utility Support. Utility excavations in the native soils may reguireshallow subexcavations
to allow placement of stable bedding and facilitate installation. Subexcavation may also be
necessary where the trench subgrades are wet and become easily disturbed. The pipe bedding should
consist of a coarse, free-draining aggregate to facilitate the removal of seepage occurring from the
I
I
excavation sidewalls and bottoms. Subexcavations on the order of ] to 2 feet should provide
sufficiently stable bedding to facilitate utility installation and dewatering.
I
I
Dewatering may be necessary during installation of some of the utilities and should perched water
enter the subexcavations for the house lots.
I
C.2.d. Reuse of On-Site Soils as Excavation Backfill and Required Fill. The boring data
indicates that the clayey soils were generally moist to wet. We anticipate that perched Or trapped
water has made them weL This being the case, and considering the fine-grained consistency of these
soils, it is our opinion that they will be very difficult to reuse unless they can be dried. Drier soils of
similar composition could be imported to the site to balance fills or replace wet soils removed from
I
I
excavations.
I
I
Contractors Property Developers Company
Project BPDX-99-141A
December ]5, ]999
Page 10
I
I
Imported sands should spread and compact more easily over wet and potentially unstable subgrades
and excavation bottoms, particularly if wet. Additionally, it should be possible to spread and
compact sand in somev,hat thicker lifts, and under variable weather. These advantages should also
limit contractor down-time and delays due to recom paction of poorly compacted, marginal soils.
Importing sand exclusively would also limit the number of potential borrow sources.
I
I
I
C.2.e. Groundwater Considerations. In general, plocing the lowest floor 4 feet above the OHWL
(elevation 947.3) of the lakes, which corresponds to an elevation of approximately 95 I Y2 should be
I
adequate. However, based upon the soil boring and piezometer infonnation a higher floor elevation
may be necessary near Borings P-7 and 5T-] 5 At these locations. the highest observed groundwater
level may be above the proposed slab levels. As a precautionary measure against water level
variations, Federa! Housing Administration (FHA) recommends that floor slabs be located at least 4
feet above the knmvn groundvvater level.
I
I
I
Wet and waterbearing soils (perched groundwater) wiillikely be encountered throughout the
building area, footing trenches and subexcavations. Provisions for dewatering and these excavations
and diverting water away from the construction area should therefore be anticipated.
I
I
C.3.
General Site Preparation
I
C.3.a. Excavations/Subexcavations. We recommend completely removing vegetation, topsoil and
organic deposits within the proposed building pads. We further recommend that where soft or rather
soft and wet soils are exposed, such as those encountered in Borings ST-3, P-8 and ST-12they be
removed from beneath the buildings to a depth minimum depth of2 feet, or to a competent bearing
strata, whichever is less.
I
I
I
The subexcavations should be oversized to provide lateral stability for the backfill. The bottoms of
the subexcavations should be oversized 1 foot beyond the edges of the footings for each footof
subexcavation below the bottoms of the footing (1:1 oversizing), Loosened soil in the bottoms of the
excavation should be compacted prior to backfilling.

C3.b. Available Backfill and Fill. As mentioned previously, the on-site clayey soils will likely be
wet and willlikelv be verv difficult to reuse unless they can be sufficiently dried. Sand. silty sand.
o' ..; .-.." .; ,
I
clayey sand or sandy lean clay with plastic indices less than 15 may be used provided they are within
2 to 3 percent of their optimum moisture contents and can be adequately compacted. Sand is the
preferred material especially in the bottom of a wet excavation.
I
I
I
For ease of compaction we also recommend that the initial lifts of backfill or fill be a clean sand. We
recommend the sand have less than 50 percent passing a 40 sieve and less than 5 percent of its
particles by weight passing a 200 sieve. If the bottom of the excavations are wet the sand backfill
should be used until it is a minimum of 18 inches above the wet bottom or water.
I
I
The backfill should be placed in lifts, and each lift should be compacted to a minimum of95 percent
of its maximum dry density determined in accordance with American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) Method of l' est D 698 (standard Proctor).
I
CA. Footings
I
CA.a. Depth. We recommend that the perimeter footings bear a minimum of3 1/2 feet below
adjacent exterior grades for frost protection. Interior footings may be placed immediately beneath
I
the slab.
I
C.4.b. Subexcavations. To provide adequate bearing capacities and to limit footing settlements, we
recommend subexcavations as recommended in Section C.3.a. above.
I
I
C.4.c. Allowable Bearing Pressure. If the site has been prepared as recommended above, it is our
opinion that the footings may be designed to exert a net allowable bearing pressure up to 2,000
pounds per square foot. This bearing pressure includes a factor of safety of at least three with regard
to punching failure.
I
I
C.4.d. Settlement. After the site has been prepared as recommended above, we anticipate total
settlement of the foundations will be less than I inch under the assumed loads and differential
I
I
Contractors Property Developers Company
Project BPDX-99-14] A
December] 5, 1999
Page ] 2
I
I
settlement will be less than Y: inch. Residences similar to those proposed can generally tolerate
settlements of this magnitude.
I
I
C.4.e. Subsurface Wall Backfill and Lateral Earth Pressure. We recommend that backfill
I
against the subsurface \valls be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of its standard Proctor
maximum dry density. Beneath steps, exterior slabs and pavements, it should be compacted to a
minimum of 95 percent. Interior wall backfill should be compacted to 95 percent. The walls should
be braced prior to backfilling.
I
I
The lateral earth pressure used for the design ofvvalls will depend on the material used to backfill the
I
wall. The active and passive coefficients of lateral pressure may be employed only if movement of
the wall can be tolerated to reach the active state. If movement cannot be tolerated. we recommend
using the at-rest coefficients to design the wall. Table 4, below, provides lateral earth pressure
coefficients for relatively clean sand and clayey soils. which we assume will be used to backfill the
walls. These values do not include a safety factor.

CA.f. Seepage Control. The lowest level will likely be surrounded by clay soils. If water
percolates down alongside the walls, it may become perched on a clay layer and then enter the lowest
level through shrinkage cracks in the concrete. Collecting nm-off and discharging it well away from
the foundations and sloping the ground surface down and away from the lowest level walls are two
common methods of reducing infiltration and percolation.
I
I
I
As a precaution against seepage into the lowest level, we recommend installing a perimeter
foundation drain system. The system should include a perforated pipe with a invert within 2 inches
I

I
I
of bottom-of-footing elevation. Collected seepage should be routed to a sump and then drained by a
I
pump or gravity to a storm sewer or low area on the site.
I
The seepage control system should include permeable material against the lowest level wall, such as
a synthetic wall drainage system or at least 2 feet (horizontal) of pemleable sandy gravel or sand
backfill. The sandy gravel or sand backfill should have less than 5 percent of the particles by weight
passing a 200 sieve. Where the sandy gravel or sand backfill extends outside the footprint of the
building, it should be capped by a slab, pavement or at least I foot of topsoil and clay.
I
I
I
If less than a 4-foot separation is provided between the lowest level floors and the recommended
high groundwater elevation of 947.3. we recommend a subfloor drain system be installed. The
system should include a geotextile filter fabric over the soil subgrade, a layer of drainage gravel, and
drain pipes leading to a sump.
I

Floor Slabs
I
C.S.a. Subgrade Modulus. The anticipated floor subgrade is compacted clayey soils. It is our
opinion that a modulus of subgrade reaction, k, of 150 pounds per square foot per inch of deflection
(pci) may be used to design the floor.
I
I
C.5.b. Vapor Retarder/Barrier. Excess transmission of water vapor could cause floor dampness,
certain types of floor bonding agents to separate, or floor coverings to mildew. If floor coverings or
coatings less permeable than the concrete slab will be used, of if moisture is a concern, we
recommend that a vapor retarder or barrier be installed. Industry standards generally recommend
burying the vapor retarder or barrier beneath a layer of sand to reduce curling and shrinkage of the
concrete. Precautions should be taken however, to lim it the risk of trapping water between the slab
and vapor retarder or barrier. To preserve any warranty assurances, we recommend consulting with
and adhering to the floor covering manufacture's recommendations regarding the appropriate type,
use, and installation of the vapor retarder or barrier

I
C.6. Exterior Slabs
I
C.6.a. Subgrades. We recommend that topsoils and organic soils be removed from beneath the
proposed slabs. Fills and backfills should be compacted to a minimum of95 percent of their
standard Proctor maximum dry densities.
I
I
C.6.b. Frost Protection. Clayey soils are frost susceptible soils. If these soils become saturated
and freeze, I to 2 inches of heave may occur. This heave can be a nuisance for slabs or steps in front
of doors and at other critical grade areas. One way to reduce this heave is to remove the frost-
susceptible soils down to bottom-of-footing level and replace them with non-frost-susceptible sand
or sandy gravel. Sand or sandy gravel \vith less than 5 percent of the particles by weight passing a
200 sieve is non-frost-susceptible.
I
I
I
An a Iternative method of reducing frost heave is to place a m in im um of 2 inches of extruded
polystyrene foam insulation beneath the slabs and extending about 4 feet beyond the slabs. The
insulation will reduce frost penetration into the underlying subgrade and thereby reduce heave. Six
to 12 inches of granular material is generally placed over the insulation to protect it during
construction.
I
I
I
A second alternative for reducing frost heave is to support the steps or slabs on frost-depth footings.
A void space of at least 4 inches should be provided between the bottoms ofthe steps/slabs and frost-
susceptible soils to allow the soils to heave without affecting the steps/slabs.
I
I
C.? Utilities
I
C.7.a. Suhgrade Preparation. Utility excavations may expose wet or soft soils, and may be subject
to seepage through the excavation sidewalls and bottoms. Where soft soils are encountered, where
the soils become disturbed from construction equipment, or where seepage is encountered, we
recommend replacing the upper I to 2 feet of the subgrade soils with a stabilizing aggregate (1 112
inch minus). In addition to stabilizing the excavation bottoms, the stabilizing aggregate will serve as
a reservoir from which water can be pumped.

I
I
C.7.b. Backfilling and Compaction. Backfill placed over utilities may consist of available non-
organic on-site or imported soils that can be adequately compacted. For ease of compaction,
however, sands are preferred. Clayey soils will be more difficult to compact, particularly ifweL
I
I
We recommend compacting utility backfill placed below exterior slabs, a11d more than 3 feet below
pavement subgrades, to at least 95 percent of its maximum standard Proctor density. Backfill placed
beneath interior slabs should be compacted to 98 percent and backfill placed within 3 feet of
pavement subgrades should be compacted to at least 100 percent.
I
I
e.S. Pavements
I
C.8.a. Subgrade Support and Effect of \Veather on Construction. We have assumed the soils
encountered in the borings will be present in the roadway. If these soils are maintained near
optimum moisture and recompacted, they should, in our opinion, be suitable for pavement support.
Clayey soils, however, are moisture sensitive such that they will be difficult to compact if they are
,vet or become weL Perched water encountered during site grading will also cause the subgrade soils
to become unstable and hamper constmction effort.
I
I
I
In general, the months of June, July, and August are tavored for grading operations. particularly
when clayey subgrade soils are wet and may require drying. Cooler temperatures and rainy weather
conditions in September and on into October tend to slow or delay grading and paving operations.
All paving should be completed as soon as possible, preferably before mid September, to limit
surface water infiltration into the moisture sensitive clayey soils. Clay soils which become saturated
during late fall will not become adequately dry, provide limited support to heavy construction traffic,
and will likely require subexcavation and backfilling with drier imported sand prior to paving
operations.
I
I
I
I
C.8.b. Excavations and Removals. We recommend all surface vegetation, topsoil, wet clays, and
organic soils in the proposed pavement areas which are present within the top 3 feet of the pavement
subgrade be removed. In fill areas where more than 3 feet of fill will be placed to achieve top of
subgrade elevation, the soft clays can remain in-place. After stripping, we recommend the resulting
I
I
I

Decem ber ] 5. ] 999

I
I
subgrade be scarified, moisture-conditioned to a moisture content near optimum, and compacted to a
minimum of95 percent of its standard Proctor maximum dry density. Where fill is required, we
recommend that it be similarly moisture-conditioned and compacted. If there are areas which cannot
be compacted, we recommend that the unstable materials be subexcavated to a depth of 2 feet and be
replaced by materials which can be compacted.
I
I
I
C.8.c. Anticipated Subgrade. After the preparation,.we anticipate the subgrade will be compacted
on-site soils, which should be a blend of compacted lean clays, clayey sand, silty sand and poorly
graded sands. Laboratory tests to determine the resistance (R) values of these soils were not
included in our scope of services. Based on Table 5-3.2(a) of the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT) Geotechnical and Pavement Design iv[anual, however. we recommend
I
I
I
assuming an R value of ] 2.
I
C.B.d. Proofroils. Before placing the aggregate base, we recommend the pavement areas be
proofrolled to help detect soft areas. As a final check after placing the aggregate base. we
recommend the area again be proofrolled. This precautionary measure will assist in detecting
localized soft spots. Any soft spots noted during the proofrolling process should be subexcavated,
replaced with drier soils, and compacted. A qualified geotechnical engineer should observe the
proofroll ing process to make a final evaluation of the subgrade.
I
I
I
C.8.e. Materials and Compaction. We recommend all backfill and fill placed beneath proposed
pavements be compacted to a minimum of95 percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density
up to within 3 feet of the final subgrade elevations. We recommend all fill placed in the top 3 feet of
the pavement subgrades be compacted to a minimum of 100 percent.
I
I
We recommend specifYing crushed gravel base meeting the requirements of Mn/DOT Specification
3138 for Class 5. We recommend that the bituminous surface meet the requirements of Specification
2341 and that the bituminous base meet specification 2331. We recommend that the crushed gravel
base be compacted to a minimum of 100 percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density. We

recommend that the asphaltic concrete surface be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the
Marshall density.
I
I
Where a sand subbase is placed beneath the proposed gravel surfacing, we recommend the sand meet
the requirements for either Mn/DOT Specification 3149.2B2 for select granular material or
Specification 3 ]38 for Class 3 Subbase.

Construction
I
D.1. Excavation
I
It is our opinion that the soils encountered by the borings can be excavated with a backhoe, front-end
loader or scraper. The borings indicated that the soils in the side\valls of the excavations will be
Type B soils under Depaliment of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
I
guidelines, except where seepage makes them Type C.
I
We recommend that low-ground-pressure tracked equipment whenever possible to prevent excessive
rutting of subgrades.
I
D.2.
Dewatering
I
Dewatering may be necessary during installation of some of the utilities and excavation of the house
lots. When excavating below groundwater in clayey soils, we anticipate it will be possible to
dewater the utility trenches and excavations with sumps and pumps located in the trenches and low
points of excavations
I
I
D.3.
Observations
I
We recommend that all excavation, footing, slab and pavement subgrades be observed by a
geotechnical engineer to evaluate if the subgrade soils are similar to those encountered by the
borings, adequate to support the proposed construction and adequately oversized. The se
observations should be conducted prior to placing backfills, fills or forms for footings.

Backfill and Fills
I
Site soils which will be excavated and reused as backfills and fills will likely be wet of optimum.
We anticipate it will be necessary to dry these soils to achieve the recommended compaction. We
recommend that backfills and fills be placed in lifts not exceeding 4 to 12 inches, depending upon the
size of the compactor and material used.
I
I
D.S.
Testing
I
We recommend density tests of backfills and fills placed beneath footings, slabs and pavements. We
I
also recommend density testing of the compacted pavement subgrade and gravel base course.
Samples of proposed backfill and fill materials should be submitted to a testing laboratory at least
three days prior to placement for evaluation of their suitability and determination of the optimum
I
moisture content and maximum dry density.
I
We recommend at least one density test be performed for every 1 foot of fill placed in the building
areas and every 5,000 square feet of pavement area, with at least one test for every 2 vertical feet of
fiB placed. At least one compaction test should be taken for every 100 feet offooting trench backfill
and one for every 300 feet of utility trench backfill at vertical intervals not exceeding 2 feet.

We recommend slump, air content and strength tests of Portland cement concrete.
I
D.6. Cold Weather
I
lfsite grading and construction is anticipated during cold weather, we recommend that good winter
I
construction practices be observed. All snow and ice should be removed from cut and fill areas prior
to additional grading. No fill should be placed on soils which have frozen or contain frozen material.
No frozen soils should be used as fill.
I
Concrete delivered to the site should meet the temperature requirements of ASTM C 94. Concrete
should not be placed upon frozen soils or soils which contain frozen material. Concrete should be
protected from freezing until the necessary strength is attained. Frost should not be permitted to
I
I
penetrate below footings bearing on frost-susceptible soil since such freezing could heave and crack
the footings and/or foundation walls.
I
I
E. Procedures
E.1. Drilling and Sampling
I
The penetration test borings were perfonned on October 5, 6, 26 and 27, 1999, with an off road-
mounted core and auger drill equipped with 3 1/4-inch inside diameter hollow-stem auger. Sampling
for the borings was conducted in general accordance with ASTM D 1586, "Penetration Test and
Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils." Using this method, we advance the bore hole with the hollow-stem
auger to the desired test depth. A 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches was then used to drive the
standard 2-inch spilt barrel sampler a total penetration of I 1/2 feet below the tip of the hollow-stem
auger. The blows for the last foot of penetration were recorded and are an index of soil strength
characteristics. Samples were takenat 2 1/2-foot vertical intervals to the 10-foot depth and then at 5-
foot intervals to the termination depths of the borings. A representative portion of each sam pIe was
then sealed in a glass jar.

I
I
Prior to withdrawing the hollow-stem auger from Borings P- I, P-5, P-7, P-8 and P-I 0 a piezometer
with a 5 - foot long screen section at the bottom was placed. Sand was placed around the screen.
After the auger had been withdrawn from the boring, the remainder of the annulus was backfilled
I
I
with cuttings.
I
E.2. Soil Classification
I
Soils encountered in the borings were visually and manually classified in the field by the crew chief
in accordance with ASTM D 2488, "Description and Jdentification of Soils (Visual-Manual
Procedures)". A summary of the ASTM classification system is attached. All samples were then
returned to our laboratory for review of the field classifications by a soils engineer. Representative
samples will remain in Ollr S1. Paul office for a period of 60 days to be available for your
I
I
examination.
I
E.3. Groundwater Observations
I
Immediately after taking the final samples in the bottoms of the borings, the holes were probed
through the hollow-stem auger to check for the presence of groundwater. Immediately after
withdrawal of the auger, the holes were again probed and the depths to water or cave-ins were noted.
The borings were immediately backfilled.
I
I
The piezometers were read once per week for three weeks following installation.

General Recommendations
I
F.l. F.l. Basis of Recommendations
I
The analyses and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from
the soil borings performed at the locations indicated on the sketch included in theAppendix.Often,
variations occur between these borings, the nature and extent of which will not become evident until
additional exploration or construction is conducted. Are-evaluation of the recommendations of this
report should be made after performing on-site observations during construction and noting the

I
I
characteristics of the variations. The variations may result in additional costs, and it is suggested that
a contingency be provided for this purpose.
I
I
] t is recommended that we be retained to perform the observation and testing program for the site
preparation phase of this project. This will allow us to correlate the soil conditions encountered
during construction to the soil borings, and will provide continuity of professional responsibility.
I
I
F.2. Review of Design
I
This report is based on the design of the proposed residences as submitted to us for preparation of
this report. It is recommended that we be retained to briefly review the final design and
specifications. With this review, we will evaluate whether any changes in design have affected the
validity of our recommendations, and whether our recommendations have been correctly interpreted
and implemented in the design and specifications.
I
I
F.3.
Groundwater Fluctuations
I
\.-Vater level readings have been made in the borings at the times and under the conditions stated on
the boring logs. These data have been reviewed and interpretations made in the text of this report.
However, it must be noted that the period of observation was relatively short and that fluctuations in
the groundwater level may occur due to rainfall, flooding, irrigation, spring thaw, drainage, seasonal
and annual variations and other factors not evident at the time measurements were made and reported
herein. Design drawings and specifications and construction planning should recognize the
possibilities of variations.
