2. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The scope of each division of the Project is stated in the Specifications.
3. INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Each Bidder must thoroughly examine all Contract Documents, and examine and judge for itself all matters relating to the location and character of the proposed Project.
If the Bidder should be in doubt as to the meaning of any of the Contract Documents, or is of the opinion that the Plans and Specifications contain errors or contradictions, or reflect omissions, they shall submit a written request to the Engineer for interpretation or clarification. No interpretation of the meaning of the Plans, Specifications, or other Contract Documents will be made to any bidder orally. Each such request must be in the hands of the Engineer at least five (5) days before the date for the formal opening of bids, in order that interpretation or clarification may be issued by the Engineer in the form of written addenda, mailed or delivered to all prospective Bidders. The issuance of a written addendum shall be the only official method whereby such an interpretation or clarification will be made. Failure of any bidder to receive any such addendum or interpretation shall not relieve any Bidder from any obligation under their bid as submitted, and each Bidder should verify the number of addenda issued prior to submitting their bid.
Items shown on the Plans but not noted in the Specifications, and items noted in the Specifications but not shown on the Plans, are to be considered as both shown on the Plans and noted in the Specifications. Any errors or omissions in the Specifications or on the Plans, as to the standard of the work, shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to furnish a satisfactory first class job in strict conformity with the best practice found in structures or in work of a similar type. The failure of the Bidder to direct the attention of the Engineer to errors or discrepancies will not relieve the Bidder, should it be awarded the Contract, of the responsibility of performing the work to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
4. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BIDDER TO BE INFORMED
The Bidder, by and through the submission of its bid, agrees that it shall be held responsible for having theretofore examined the site, the location and the route of all proposed work, and for having satisfied themselves as to the character of the route, the location, surface and underground obstructions, known or anticipated and all other physical characteristics pertaining to the Project that could be reasonably determined including the nature of the ground and the
Page 8 of 31 Rev 04/10/17
water table conditions, in order that they may include in the prices bid, whether aggregate sums or unit prices, all costs pertaining to the work and thereby provide for the satisfactory completion thereof, including the removal, relocation or replacement of any objects or obstruction which will be encountered in doing the proposed work.
The Bidder shall familiarize itself with all codes and regulations applicable to the specific work involved in the Project. They shall fully comply with all requirements of applicable codes and regulations whether indicated in the Contract Drawings and Specifications or not, including any modifications made by the authorities having jurisdiction over the Contract work during the life time of the Contract.
All information given on the Drawings or in the Contract Documents relating to borings, materials encountered, and ground water, is from the reports of the boring Contractors. The logs of test borings performed by the Department's boring Contractors present factual information of the subsurface conditions at the specific test boring location only. The Bidders should not consider, or conclude, that the subsurface conditions will be consistent between test boring locations. All such information was prepared for the information of the Department's Engineers only, and permission to examine the same is extended to bidders for their convenience. In no event is such information, including any shown on the Contract Drawings, to be considered a part of this Contract.
The Bidder shall be aware that after receiving approval of the Shop Drawings by the Department the successful Bidder shall be responsible for submitting to the Building and Zoning Departments shop drawings of all pre-manufactured items and all other shop drawings as required and obtain their approval prior to the manufacturing or installation of the submitted items. The successful Bidder shall also be responsible for contesting any interpretations by the Building and Zoning Departments that the Miami Dade Water and Sewer Department considers non acceptable. The Bidders shall include in their prices bid, all costs and expenses associated with the submittals, including resubmittals (if any) of such shop drawings to the Building and Zoning Departments. The cost of any fees such as impact fees, inspection fees, and the cost of all required permits shall be borne by the Department.
The Bidders shall make site surface and subsurface examinations and investigations as they choose in order to determine the character of the material and the construction conditions under which they will work. The Bidder agrees that reasonable steps to discover the particular physical and subsurface soil conditions for this Contract shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, performing its own borings and test holes, interviewing any Contractors working at or near the site, and interviewing Contractors who have done similar work in this area and/or similar areas. If requested by the Bidder, the Department will assist it in obtaining permission for exploratory work from the governing authorities having jurisdiction over the work area. Such requests must be made with reasonable advance notice prior to the date set for the opening of bids.
5. UTILITY CONNECTION FEES NOT BIDDABLE
Utility connections fees, as hereinafter defined, shall not be included in the bid. Upon the Contractor's receipt from the utility of an invoice setting forth the utility connection fee, the Contractor shall forward said invoice to the Department and the Department shall pay the utility connection fee directly to the utility. For the purposes of this Section, "utility connection fee" includes connection charges, impact fees and other cost factors which represent a proportionate share of the cost of other water and sewer facilities.
Page 9 of 31 Rev 04/10/17
6. CONFLICT WITH GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If any portion of these Instructions to Bidders should be found or appear to be in conflict with provisions of the General Terms and Conditions, the provisions of the latter shall govern.
7. OTHER WORK BEING DONE AT OR NEAR THE SITE
The Bidder in preparing its bid should take into consideration that work by other contractors may be in progress at or near the site and during the performance of the work to which the bid relates, and that the bidder will be expected, should it be awarded the Contract, to avoid interference with work being done by such other contractors.
8. QUANTITIES IN PROPOSAL APPROXIMATE ONLY
If the Proposal form contains unit price items, the quantities stated therein are approximate only and are intended to serve as a basis for the comparison of bids and to fix the approximate amount of the cost of the Project. The County does not expressly or impliedly agree that the actual amount of the work done in the performance of the Contract will correspond with the quantities in the Proposal form; the amount of work done may be more or less than the said quantities and may be increased or decreased by the Engineer as circumstances may require. The increase or decrease of any quantity shall not be regarded as grounds for an increase in the unit price or in the time allowed for the completion of the work, except as provided in the Contract Documents.
9. PRICES BID
The price bid for each item shall be stated in both words and figures in the appropriate places in the Proposal form. All blank spaces for bid prices must be filled in with ink, or with a typewriter. The Bidder is further directed that any and all alterations, changes, corrections and modifications, made to the bid forms prior to submission of bids, must be initialed by the Bidder. Non-compliance by the Bidder of this directive may be grounds for rejection of its bid.
In the event that there is a discrepancy between the price written in words and the price written in numbers, the price written in words shall govern except where the number of units multiplied by the unit price shown in numbers equals the total price for that bid item. In such case the unit price shown in numbers shall govern over the unit price shown in words.
Where an error is made in the calculation of the total bid price of an item, the unit price shall govern. If the bidder makes an error in its addition of the total bid prices of the applicable items in the Proposal, the correct sum of its' applicable bid item totals shall be the Total Bid.
It has been determined that the County is not exempt from the payment of Florida State Sales Tax under this Contract. All items of materials, equipment and supplies furnished by the Contractor and remaining a part of the completed Project are subject to this Tax. The Bidder shall include a sufficient amount of money to pay for this Tax in its bid price. Sufficient money to pay the Tax for all miscellaneous materials and minor items shown on the Plans, specified herein,

ANY BID THAT IS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY A BID SECURITY SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-RESPONSIVE. The check of any of the unsuccessful Bidders, except the three (3) Lowest Bidders, will be returned within ten (10) days after the formal opening of Bids; the check of any of the three (3) Lowest Bidders, will be returned within five (5) days after the County Mayor or the County Mayor’s designee and the Bidder submitting the accepted bid have executed the written Contract.

The County may reject any Bid if prices are not fair and reasonable, as determined by the County, and/or exceed the County’s estimated budget for this Bid Solicitation. Solicitations which result in a single or too few qualified bidders when a pool of qualified bidders is sought may be cause for rejection. Bids from any person, firm or Corporation in default on other contracts or agreements with the County may be rejected. Bids on pipeline installation contracts from any person or entity who has failed to properly perform pipeline installation work for the County may be rejected. Failure by the Bidders to satisfy claims on previous contracts with the County may be cause for rejection of their bid.

A proposal is irregular and the Department may reject it if it shows omissions, alterations of form, additions not specified or required, conditional or unauthorized alternate bids, or irregularities of any kind; if the cost is in excess of or below the Department’s construction estimate; or if the unit
Page 16 of 31 Rev 04/10/17

2. INTERPRETATION ( Ju n e 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 )
A. The intent of the Contract is to include all necessary i tems for the proper
completion of the Work by the Contractor so the Owner may have a fully

compensation, such incidental work as necessary to complete the Work
and fulfi l l the design intent, in accordance with the requiremen ts set
forth in the Contract Documents, so that i t will meet the requirements for
which the Project was intended, in a satisfactory and workmanlike
manner.
B. The Contract Documents and all referenced standards cited are essential
parts of the Contract requirements. A requirement occurring in one is as
binding as though occurring in all . The documents comprising the
Contract Documents are complementary and indicate the construction
and completion of the Work. Anything mentioned in the Contract
Documents and not shown on the Contract Drawings, or shown on the
Contract Drawings and not mentioned in the Contract Documents , shall
be of l ike effect as if shown or mentioned in both. The more str ingent
shall apply in the case of a conflict .
C. Site Inspections and Verif ication of Governing Dimensions: In executing
the contract , the Contractor represents that he has, prior to bid, visi ted
the si te, become famil iar with the conditions under which the work is to
be performed and correlated his personal observations with the
requirements of the Contract Documents or that he has chosen not to do
so, in the event that a mandatory si te visi t is not specified in the
Contract Documents. The Contractor accepts the responsibil i ty for all
errors in construction which could have been avoided by such
examination and the opportunity to seek t imely clarifications during the
bidding process. The Contractor, before commencing work, shall verify
all governing dimensions at the site, and shall examine all adjoining
work on which his work is in any way dependent for i ts conformance
with the intent of the Contract Documents and no disclaimer of
responsibil i ty for defective or non -conforming adjoining work will be
considered unless notice of same has been fi led by the Contractor, and
agreed to in writ ing by the Owner through the Architect/Engineer before
the Contractor begins any part of the Work. No disclaimer for defective
or non-conforming adjoining work that was clearly foreseeable to the
Contractor during a si te visi t (mandatory or non -mandatory) will be
considered by the Owner.
D. Errors, Inconsistencies and Omissions: The Contractor shall carefully
study and compare all drawings, Contract Documents and other
instructions; shall verify all f igures on the Contract Drawings before

M. Warranty of Work
1) Except where longer periods of warranty are indicated for certain
i tems, the Contractor warrants the Work under the Contract to be free
from faulty materials and workmanship for a period of no t less than
one (1) year from the date of Substantial Completion. This one -year
period shall be covered by the Surety Performance Bond as specified
in this Contract , except that in the case of defects or failure in a part
of the work which the Owner takes possession of prior to Substantial
Completion, such a period shall commence on the date the Owner
takes possession. Upon receiving notification from the Owner or any
public body, to whom the ownership of the Work has been transferred
or who has agreed to maintain the Work, the Contractor shall
immediately remedy, repair , or replace, without cost to the Owner or
other notifying party and to the entire satisfaction of the notifying
party, defects, damages, or imperfections due to faulty materials or
workmanship appearing in said Work within said period of not less
than one year. Remedial work shall carry the same warranty as the
original work start ing with the date of acceptance of the replacement
or repair . Payment to the Contractor will not relieve him of any
obligation under the Contract .
CONTRACT 35 BID SETCONTRACT 35 BID SET35 BID SETCONTRACT 35
2) The Contractor, at no addit ional expense to the Owner , shall also
remedy damage to equipment, the si te, or the buildings or the
contents thereof, which is the result of any failure or defect in the
Work, and restore any Work damaged in fulfi l l ing the requirements of
the Contract . Should the Contractor fail to remedy any such failure or
defect within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof, the Owner
will have the right to replace, repair , or otherwise remedy such
fai lure or defect and deduct al l costs from the Contractor’s pay
request or Payment and Performance Bond i f f inal payment has been
made.
3) The Contractor will correct al l latent defects discovered within ten
(10) years after Substantial Completion provided that the Owner shall
notify the Contractor of each latent defect within the t ime specif ied
by law. The Contractor, without prejudice to the terms of the
Contract , shall be l iable to the Owner for al l damages sustained by
the Owner result ing from latent defects , fraud, or such gross mistakes
as may amount to fraud, discovered after the stated guarantee and
warranty periods have expired. If the Contractor fails to act within
ten (10) days, the Owner reserves the right to have the work
performed by others at the expense of the Contractor, and the
Contractor agrees to pay the Owner the reasonable cost associated
with procurement, implementation and management thereof upon
demand. The Owner shall also be enti t led to reasonable attorney's
fees, necessari ly incurred upon the Contractor 's refusal to pay the
above costs.
4) Subcontractors ' , manufacturers ' and suppliers ' warranties and
guaranties, expressed or implied, with respect to any part of the Work
and any material used therein shall be deemed obtained and shall be
enforced by the Contractor for the benefit of the Owner provided that ,
if directed by the Owner, the Contractor requires such subcontractors,
manufacturers and suppliers to execute such warranties and
guaranties, in writ ing, directly to the Owner.
5) The rights and remedies of the Owner provided in this art icle are in
addit ion to and do not l imit any rights and remedies afforded by the
Contract or by law.
6) Nothing in the above intends or implies that this warranty shall apply
to work that has been abused or neglected by the Owner , i ts agents or
other public body, ut i l i ty or railroad to which ownership has been
transferred.

8. CONTRACT TIME ( Ju n e 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 )
A. Notice to Proceed
1) The Owner may issue authorization to obtain permits to the
Contractor after the Contractor has executed the Contract and has
delivered the specified bonds and cert if icates of insurance in forms
acceptable to the Owner, for the l imited purpose of obtaining all
necessary permits to complete the work. If the Contractor is una ble
to obtain all necessary permits within 30 days, through no fault of the
Contractor, the Owner has the option, but not the obligation, to
terminate the Contract , without fault to the Contractor or the Owner,
effective immediately upon writ ten notice by the Owner or give the
Contractor addit ional t ime to obtain the permits . Upon the Contractor
providing satisfactory evidence of obtaining the permits, the Owner
will issue Notice to Proceed. Except as specifically authorized in
writ ing by the Owner , the Contractor is not authorized to perform
work (other than obtaining permits) under the Contract unti l the
effective date of the Notice to Proceed, upon which the Contractor
shall commence work and shall dil igently prosecute the Work to
completion within the t ime l imits specif ied. The Contract t ime
commences on the date shown on the Notice to Proceed.
2) Any Work Performed by the Contractor (other than obtaining permits)
prior to Notice -To-Proceed shall be at the Contractor’s own risk and
shall not be considered as the basis for any claim.
B. Schedules
1) The Contractor shall provide, maintain, and periodically update
schedules in strict accordance with the Contract Documents. The
Special Provisions shall contain specific requirements for the form,
content and date of submission of the baseline schedule and all
schedule updates.
2) The Contractor shall prosecute the Work in accordance with the
approved baseline Schedule or most recently approved revision to the
baseline schedule. In the event that progress along the cri t ical path is
delayed, the Contractor shall revise his planning to include addit ional
forces, equipment, shifts or hours as necessary to meet the t ime or
t imes of completion specified in this Contract at no additional cost to
the Owner. In addit ion, the Contract or shall revise his schedule to
reflect these recovery actions and submit i t to the Owner for review
and approval i t being understood that such approval will be as to the
format and composit ion of the schedule and not the Contractor’s
means and methods. Additional costs result ing therefrom will be
borne by the Contractor. Delayed progress is defined as:
a. A delay in the start or f inish of any activity on the cri t ical path
(cri t ical path is defined as the path with the least amount of float)
of the approved baseline schedule or most recently approved
revision to the baseline; or
b. A delay in the start or f inish of any non -crit ical activity which
consumes more than the available float shown on the approved
CONTRACT 37 BID SETCONTRACT 37 BID SET37 BID SETCONTRACT 37
baseline schedule or most recently approved revision to the
baseline, thereby making the activity cri t ical and late; or
c. A projected completion date shown on a schedule update which is
later than the contractual completion date; or
d. Any combination of the above.
3) Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requi rements under this
provision will be grounds for determination that the Contractor is not
prosecuting the Work with such dil igence as will ensure completion
within the Contract Time. Upon such determination, the Owner may
terminate the Contractor 's r ight t o proceed with the Work, or any
separate part thereof, in accordance with the Contract Documents. If
in the Contractor’s estimation, the cause(s) of delay are beyond the
Contractor’s control , the Contractor shall adhere to the sections of
the Contract Documents related to extensions of t ime, claims and
others as appropriate.
4) The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling and coordinat ing
the work of all craf ts and trades, subcontractors and suppliers,
required to perform the Work and to complete the Wo rk within the
prescribed t ime. Any inefficiency or loss of productivity in the labor,
materials, or special equipment of the Contractor or i ts
subcontractors of any t ier, from any cause, shall be the responsibili ty
of the Contractor. No reimbursement of t hese or any other costs can
be requested by or granted to the Contractor or any of i ts
subcontractors of any t ier for inefficiency or loss of productivity in
labor, materials, or special equipment, except as specified in the
paragraph in this art icle dealing with Liquidated Indirect Costs, for
delays in the performance and completion of the Work directly caused
by the Owner or i ts authorized representatives. Other than the
exception described above, addit ional costs may only be paid to the
Contractor as a result of addit ional Work added to the Contract scope
of work.
C. Extensions of Time and Classification of Types of Delays
1) Once a delay has been identified and i t has been established through a
scheduling analysis that a delay affects the Project’s end date o r
contractually mandated milestone date, the delay must be classified to
determine responsibil i ty and to compute damages, if any. Before the
Contractor can submit a request for t ime extension, claim or any
request for addit ional compensation involving or r elated to t ime, the
Contractor must classify the delay(s) in accordance with the
following classifications. These delay classifications shall be used by
the Owner and the Contractor in resolving any t ime -related disputes.
Delays fall into three basic categories: non-excusable, excusable, and
compensable.
a. Non-excusable delays are those delays to the cri t ical path which
were foreseeable at the t ime of contract award or delays caused by
the Contractor due to the Contractor’s fault or negligence or
his/her own inefficiencies or problems, due to his/her inabil i ty to
coordinate subcontractors and/or other flaws in his/her planning.
In these types of delays the Contractor is not enti t led to extra t ime
CONTRACT 38 BID SETCONTRACT 38 BID SET38 BID SETCONTRACT 38
or compensation and the Owner may be allowed to assess
Liquidated Damages or actual damages, depending on the contract
provisions.
b. Excusable delays are those delays to the cr i t ical path beyond the
Contractor 's control and without the active interference of the
Owner, such as extreme weather (force majeure), str ike s and
delays caused by third parties (i .e. not the Contractor or the
Owner). Contractors are granted a t ime extension but no
addit ional compensation for the extended t ime of performance for
excusable delays.
c. Compensable delays are delays to the cri t ical p ath caused by
active interference or part icipation of the Owner or Owner’s
consultant. Examples of compensable delays are failure of the
Owner to provide right -of-way, introducing late design changes,
late review of shop drawings by the Owner or his
Architect/Engineer and failure of the Owner to coordinate the
work of various prime Contractors. In the case of a compensable
delay, the compensation for the extended period of performance
may cover, in addit ion to the direct cost due as a result of the
changes, Liquidated Indirect Costs as specified in the Contract
Documents.
d. Concurrent delays involve two or more delays to the cri t ical path
occurring at the same time, ei ther of which, had i t occurred alone,
would have affected the end date of the Project . In th at event, the
Contractor 's sole remedy is a t ime extension and relief of
Liquidated Damages with no compensation for extended cost for
the concurrency delay period.
e. The compensabil i ty of concurrent delays depends on the types of
delays involved. The following shall determine the effects of
concurrent delays on t ime extensions and compensable costs:
i . EXCUSABLE DELAY CONCURRENT WITH A NON -
EXCUSABLE DELAY. For excusable delays concurrent with
non-excusable delays, the Contractor is enti t led to a t ime
extension only. For example, i t rains the day footings are to be
excavated (excusable delay) but the excavat ion equipment was
down for repairs (non-excusable delays).
i i . NON-EXCUSABLE DELAY CONCURRENT WITH A
COMPENSABLE DELAY. For non-excusable delays
concurrent with compensable delays, the Contractor is enti t led
to a t ime extension only. For example, if the Owner introduces
a design change for a beam but the Contractor has failed to
submit the shop drawings for said beam in a t imely manner.
This would be an example o f a non-excusable delay (late shop
drawings) concurrent with a compensable delay (Owner
introducing design change).
i i i . EXCUSABLE DELAY CONCURRENT WITH A
COMPENSABLE DELAY. For excusable delays concurrent
with compensable delays, the Contractor is enti t led to a time
extension only. For example, the Owner does not provide the
CONTRACT 39 BID SETCONTRACT 39 BID SET39 BID SETCONTRACT 39
necessary right -of-way to begin construct ion (compensable
delay) but the Contractor’s forces are on strike (excusable
delay).
2) Time Extensions: The Contractor may be granted an extension o f t ime
and will not be assessed Liquidated Damages for any portion of the
delay in completion of the Work, arising from acts of God, acts of the
public enemy, fires, f loods, epidemics, quarantine restrict ions,
freight embargoes, st r ikes, labor disputes, or weather more severe
than the norm, provided that the aforesaid causes were not
foreseeable and did not result from the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, and provided further that the Contractor has taken
reasonable precautions to prevent further dela ys owing to such
causes, and has given to the Architect/Engineer immediate verbal
notification, with writ ten confirmation within 48 hours, of the cause
or causes of delay. Within thirty (30) days after the end of the delay,
the Contractor shall furnish the Architect/Engineer with detailed
information concerning the circumstances of the delay, the number of
days actually delayed, the appropriate Contract Document references,
and the measures taken to prevent or minimize the delay. All requests
for extension of t ime shall be submitted in accordance with the
Contract Documents. Failure to submit such information will be
sufficient cause for denying the delay claims. The Owner will
ascertain the facts and the extent of the delay and i ts f indings thereon
will be final and conclusive subject to the dispute provisions in the
Contract Documents. The extensions of t ime granted for these reasons
shall be considered excusable and shall not be the basis for any
addit ional compensation.
a. Weather more severe than the norm shall apply only as i t affects
part icular portions of the Work and operations of the Contractor,
as determined by the Architect/Engineer. Weather more severe
than the norm is defined as any si tuation exceeding the mean data
as recorded by The National Cli matic Data Center, Ashevil le,
North Carolina and published by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (This data is taken from the table of
normals, means, and extremes in the latest version of the “Local
Climatological Data, Annual Summary wit h Comparative Data,
Miami, Florida”). For the calculation of delays due to rain,
precipitation of 0.01 inches or more a day shall be considered to
be a rain day if the rain actually prevented the Contractor from
performing work. The effects of weather less severe than the norm
may be taken into account in granting t ime extensions at the
Owner 's sole discretion.
b. An extension of t ime will not be granted for a delay to the cri t ical
path caused by a shortage of materials, except Owner -furnished
materials, unless the Contractor furnishes to the
Architect/Engineer documentary proof that he has dil igently made
every effort to obtain such materials from every known source
within reasonable reach of the Work. The Contractor shall also
submit proof, in the form of a CPM network analysis data, that the
inabil i ty to obtain such materials when originally planned, did in
CONTRACT 40 BID SETCONTRACT 40 BID SET40 BID SETCONTRACT 40
fact cause a delay in final completion of the Work which could not
be compensated for by revising the sequence of his operations.
Only the physical shortage of material will be considered under
these provisions as a cause for extension of t ime. No
consideration will be given to any claim that material could not be
obtained at a reasonable, practical , or economical cost , unless i t is
shown to the satisfaction of the Architect/Engineer that such
material could have been obtained only at exorbitant prices,
entirely inconsistent with current rates taking into account the
quanti t ies involved and the usual practices in obtaining such
quanti t ies.
3) Delays Caused by Consultant and/or the Owner: If the Contractor 's
performance of the Work along the cri t ical path is delayed by any
condition or action directly caused by the Owner, and which was not
foreseeable by the Contractor at the t ime the Contract was entered
into, the Contractor shall , provide notification in accordance with the
Contract Documents, of any such delay and of the anticipated results
thereof. The Contractor shall cooperate with the Owner and use i ts
best efforts to minimize the impact on the schedule of any such delay.
In instances where a Contract change extends the Contract beyond the
completion date, the Contractor may claim Liquidated Indirect Costs
as specified in the paragraph in this art icle dealing with Liquidated
Indirect Costs. These delays sha ll be considered compensable, except
for the period in which these delays may be concurrent with
Contractor -caused delays. If a delay on the part of the Owner is
concurrent, that is, if i t occurs at the same time as a Contractor -
caused delay, the Owner -caused delay shall be considered an
excusable delay for the portion of the Owner -caused delay which is
concurrent with the Contractor -caused delay.
4) Delays Beyond Contractor 's Control Not Caused by Consultant and/
or the Owner: If Contractor 's performance of the Work along the
cri t ical path is delayed by any conditions beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of Contractor and not caused by the
Owner, and which was not foreseeable by Contractor at the t ime this
Contract was entered into, Contractor shall , provide immediate verbal
notification with writ ten notification in accordance with the Contract
Documents, of any such delay and of the anticipated results thereof.
Within two (2) calendars days of the termination of any such delay,
Contractor shall f i le a writ ten notice with the Architect/Engineer
specifying the actual duration of the delay. If the Owner determines
that the delay was beyond the control and without the fault or
negligence of the Contractor and not foreseeable by the Contractor at
the t ime this Contract was entered into, the Owner will determine the
duration of the delay and may extend the t ime of performance of this
Contract provided, however, that Contractor shall cooperate with the
Owner and use i ts best efforts to minimize the i mpact on the schedule
of any such delay. These delays shall be considered excusable and the
Contractor shall not be enti t led to, and hereby expressly waives
recovery of, any damages suffered by reason of the delays
CONTRACT 41 BID SETCONTRACT 41 BID SET41 BID SETCONTRACT 41
contemplated by this paragraph and extens ion of t ime shall consti tute
Contractor 's sole remedy for such delays.
5) In addit ion to the delays in the Work specified in this section, delays
in the Work directly caused by an act or omission by an owner of an
adjoining property will not be considered an Owner-controlled delay.
An owner of an adjoining property is a person, f irm, corporation,
partnership, or other organization who either owns or occupies, or
both, structures or parcels or both, immediately adjacent to the Work
Site. Extension of t ime for t hose delays will be considered excusable
and shall be treated as specified in this art icle, provided that:
a. The Contractor has, in accordance with this art icle, given to the
Architect/Engineer immediate verbal justif ication, with writ ten
confirmation within forty-eight (48) hours of the delay; and
b. The Contractor establishes, to the satisfaction of the
Architect/Engineer, that:
i . The delay was caused directly by an act or omission by the
owner of the adjoining property; and
i i . The Contractor has taken reasonable p recautions and has made
substantial effort to minimize the delay.
6) A Change Order will be furnished to the Contractor within a
reasonable period of t ime, after approval by the BCC, of a request for
extension of t ime, specifying the number of days allowed, i f any, and
the new dates for completion of the Work or specified portions of the
Work. All requests for t ime extension shall be in accordance with the
Contract Documents. With the exception of t ime extensions covered
under the t ime contingency allowance in the contract , only the BCC
shall grant f inal writ ten approval of al l Change Orders, including
addit ional money or extensions of t ime. All change orders shall be in
full accord with the Contract Documents.
7) For the proper format to be used in submitt ing req uests or claims for
t ime extensions, refer to applicable sections of the Contract
Documents.
8) Extensions of t ime shall be in accordance with Section 9 -3 of the
Code of Miami-Dade County, as applicable.
D. Substantial Completion and Final Acceptance
1) The following i tems must be satisfied before Substantial Completion,
as defined in the Contract Documents, will be approved:
a. All Work must be completed to the satisfaction of the appropriate
permitt ing agencies having jurisdiction over the Work. The
Contractor must furnish the Owner with a “Certif icate of
Occupancy” or a “Certif icate of Completion”, as applicable, from
the permitt ing agency unless circumstances arise outside the
contract scope that prohibits such cert if icates from being issued
(i .e. uti l i ty connections).
b. All operational systems which may include but not be l imited to:
electrical systems, security systems, irrigation systems and fire
CONTRACT 42 BID SETCONTRACT 42 BID SET42 BID SETCONTRACT 42
systems, must be completed in accordance with the Contract
Documents, tested and approved.
c. All plumbing, heating, venti l at ion, and air conditioning systems
must be completed, tested and approved. Whenever the scope of
work includes a facil i ty or building, an HVAC test and balance
report must be submitted and approved as a condition precedent to
Substantial Completion.
d. The punch l ist may not be so extensive or of a nature that the
Contractor’s complet ion will significantly interfere with the
Owner’s beneficial use of the facil i ty.
2) When the Contractor believes that al l the Work or designated portion
thereof required by the contract is substantially completed, the
Contractor shall submit to the Field Representative and the
Architect/Engineer a request for Substantial Completion inspection.
The Contractor, the Field Representative, the Architect/Engineer,
sub-consultants, and the Owner shall meet at the Project si te for the
purpose of making a combined inspection of the Work. During this
inspection, any i tem of work remaining to be done or Work to be
corrected shall be noted on a Punch List . If the Field Representative
and/or the Architect /Engineer and the Owner indicate on this
inspection report that the Work is substantially complete, a
Certif icate of Substantial Completion will be issued to the
Contractor. The Certif icate of Substantial Completion shall establish
the date of Substantial Completion and shall have attached the Punch
List reflecting any i tems to be completed or corrected, but which do
not prevent beneficial use and occupancy, and shall state the date by
which the Punch List is to be completed. The completion t ime f or the
Punch List shall not be greater than sixty (60) days from the date of
issuance of the Certif icate of Substantial Completion.
3) If any of the conditions l isted in this art icle are not met and the Work
has not been completed, or the Contractor determine s that the final
Punch List cannot be completed within sixty (60) days, a Certif icate
of Substantial Completion shall not be issued. The Contractor shall
continue work, reducing the number of i tems on the Punch List that
were not met. Additional inspecti ons shall be scheduled as necessary
unti l Substantial Completion is declared. However, costs incurred by
the Owner for any inspections beyond a second inspection will be
charged back to the Contractor.
4) In the event the Contractor fails to achieve Substant ial Complet ion
within the period specified in the Contract for completion, the
Contractor shall be l iable for Liquidated Damages and the Owner has,
as i ts option, the right to, after ten (10) calendar days notice to the
Contractor, have the work performed by others and backcharge the
Contractor for al l Direct and Indirect Costs related to performing this
work. In the event that the Owner chooses to have the work
completed by others, there shall not be any further non -excusable
delays charged to the Contrac tor beyond the ten (10) days following
notice to the Contractor. However, the Contractor shall not be
relieved of any non-excusable delays incurred through the date of
termination. The Punch List and the Contract shall remain open unti l
CONTRACT 43 BID SETCONTRACT 43 BID SET43 BID SETCONTRACT 43
all the Work is complete and accepted. The current retainage will be
used to offset any Liquidated Damages and any backcharges, after
which, any surplus retainage will be released to the Contractor. If
the retainage is insufficient to cover the Liquidated Damages and any
backcharge, the Owner will bil l the Contractor for the balance and the
Contractor shall promptly remit to the Owner an amount equal to the
bil l ing.
5) Final Completion: When the Owner or Architect/Engineer considers
all Work indicated on the Punch List to be complete, the Contractor
shall submit writ ten cert if ication that:
a. Work has been inspected for the compliance with the Contract
Documents.
b. Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract
Documents, and that deficiencies l isted within the Certif icat e of
Substantial Completion and i ts at tachments have been corrected.
c. Work is completed and ready for final inspection.
6) Should the Owner and/or Architect/Engineer inspection find that
Work is incomplete, he will promptly notify the Contractor in writ ing
l ist ing all observed deficiencies. The Contractor shall be responsible
for al l Direct and Indirect Costs to the County result ing from the
Contractor’s failure to complete the Punch List i tems within the t ime
allowed for completion.
7) The Contractor shall remedy deficiencies and send a second
cert if ication. Another inspection will be made that shall consti tute
the final inspection. Provided that work has been satisfactori ly
completed, the Architect/Engineer will notify the Contractor in
writ ing of Final Acceptance as of the date of this f inal inspection.
8) Prior to Final Acceptance, the Contractor shall deliver to the Field
Representative complete As - Builts, al l approved Shop Drawings,
maintenance manuals, pamphlets, charts, parts l ists and specified
spare parts, operating instructions and other necessary documents
required for al l installed materials, equipment, or machinery, al l
applicable warranties and guarantees, and the appropriate Certif icate
of Occupancy.
9) Upon notification of Final Acceptance to the Contrac tor, the
Architect/Engineer wil l request and consider closeout submittals from
the Contractor including but not l imited to the final Contractor 's
Affidavit and Release of All Claims.
10) The Contractor, without prejudice to the terms of the Contract , shall
be l iable to the Owner for latent defects, fraud, or such gross
mistakes as may amount to fraud, or as regards the Owner 's r ights
under any warranty or guaranty.
11) Re-Inspection Fees: Should the status of completion of the Work
require re-inspection of the Work by the Owner and the
Architect/Engineer due to failure of the Work to comply with the
Contractor’s representations regarding the completion of the Work,
the Owner will deduct from the final payment to the Contractor, fees
CONTRACT 44 BID SETCONTRACT 44 BID SET44 BID SETCONTRACT 44
and costs associated with re -inspection services in addit ion to
scheduled Liquidated Damages.
E. Use and Possession
The Owner shall have the right to beneficially occupy, take possession of
or use any completed or part ial ly completed portions of the Work. Such
possession or use will not be deemed an acceptance of work not
completed in accordance with the Contract . While the Owner is in such
possession, the Contractor, notwithstanding the provisions of the
Contract Documents, will be relieved of the responsibil i ty for loss or
damage to the Work other than that result ing from the Contractor 's fault
or negligence or breach of warranty. If such prior possession or use by
the Owner delays the progress of the Work or causes addit ional expense
to the Contractor, a Contract change in the Contract pr ice or the time of
completion will be made and the Contract will be modified in writ ing
accordingly.
F. Liquidated Damages and Liquidated Indirect Costs
1) The parties to the Contract agree that t ime, in the completion of the
Work, is of the essence. The Owner and the Contractor recognize and
agree that the precise amount of actual damages for delay in the
performance and completion of the Work is impossible to determine
as of the date of execution of the Contract and that proof of the
precise amount will be dif ficult . Therefore, the Contractor shall be
assessed Liquidated Damages on a daily basis for each Day that
individual milestones, both interim and cumulative as specified in the
Contract Documents, are not t imely achieved or that Contract Time is
exceeded due to a non-excusable delay. These Liquidated Damages
shall be assessed, not as a penalty, but as compensation to the Owner
for expenses which are difficult to quantify with any certainty and
which were incurred by the Owner due to the delay. The amount of
Liquidated Damages assessed shall be an amount, as st ipulated in the
Contract Documents, per day for each calendar day that individual
milestones as specified in the Contract are not t imely achieved or that
the Project is delayed due to a non -excusable delay.
2) The Owner and the Contractor recognize and agree that the precise
amount of the Contractor 's Indirect Costs for delay in the
performance and completion of the Work is impossible to determine
as of the date of execution of the Contract , and that pro of of the
precise amount will be difficult . Therefore, Liquidated Indirect Costs
recoverable by the Contractor shall be assessed on a daily basis for
each Day the Contract Time is delayed due to compensable delay.
These Liquidated Indirect Costs shall be paid to the Contractor in full
satisfaction of all costs and damages caused by compensable
excusable delays, except for Direct Costs. There shall be no
Liquidated Indirect Costs payable for t ime directly related to Extra
Work for which a Change Order has been issued.
3) The amount of Liquidated Indirect Costs recoverable shall be an
amount, as st ipulated in the Contract Documents per day for each day
the Contract is delayed due to compensable excusable delay. For
lump sum contracts, the daily amount of Li quidated Indirect Costs
CONTRACT 45 BID SETCONTRACT 45 BID SET45 BID SETCONTRACT 45
will be calculated by dividing the total amount in the Contractor’s
approved Schedule of Values for General Requirements by the
Contract duration (in days) after deducting any general conditions
costs directly paid by the Owner duri ng the execution of the Project .
The amount of the Liquidated Indirect Costs calculated in accordance
with this formula shall be stated in the Notice -to-Proceed. For unit
price contracts, the daily amount of Liquidated Indirect Costs will be
calculated as defined in the formula below:
(Amount of Bid x 8%) less any General Requirements i tems paid
independently/individually
Original Contract Duration (In Days)
4) In the event the Contractor fails to perform any other covenant or
condition (other than t ime-related) of this Contract relating to the
Work, the Contractor shall become liable to the Owner for any actual
damages which the Owner may sustain as a result of such failure on
the part of the Contractor. The Owner reserves the right to retain
these amounts f rom monies due the Contractor.
5) Nothing in this art icle shall be construed as l imiting the right of the
Owner to terminate the Contract and/or to require the Surety to
complete said Project and/or to claim damages for the failure of the
Contractor to abide by each and every one of the terms of this
Contract as set forth and provided for in the Contract Documents.

9. PROGRESS PAYMENTS ( Ju n e 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 )
A. Payments
1) The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation provided for in
the Contract as full payment for furnishing all materials, for
performing all work under the Contract in a complete and acceptable
manner, and for al l r isk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever
character arising out of the nature of the work or the prosecution
thereof.
2) The Owner will make progress payments monthly as the work
proceeds. Unless the Special Provisions provide for the payment to be
determined by using a cost -loaded CPM, the Contractor shall , within
15 days after Notice -to-Proceed, furnish a Schedule of V alues for
review and approval by the Owner consist ing of a detailed cost
breakdown of each lump sum bid i tem in the bid form in such detail
as the Architect/Engineer shall request , showing the amount included
therein for each principal category of the work , to provide the basis
for determining the amount of progress payments. Unit price bid
i tems shall be paid for in accordance with the Bid Form. The
Schedule of Values shall clearly indicate the amount to be paid by the
Contractor to each individual Subcon tractor.
a. The unit prices shall be in proper balance and shall be subject to
approval by the Owner. In the preparation of estimates, the
Owner, at i ts sole discretion, may authorize material delivered on
the si te and preparatory work done to be taken into c onsideration.
Material delivered to the Contractor at locations other than the

3) In making such progress payments, a maximum of ten -percent (10%)
or a minimum of five -percent (5%), as may be amended in the

authorize any of the remaining progress payments to be made in full .
Also, whenever the Work is Substantially Complete, the Owner , i f i t
considers the amount retained to be in excess of the amount adequate
for i ts protection, may release to the Contractor al l or a portion of
such excess amount.
4) Material and work covered by progress payments shall become the
sole property of the Owner. This provision shall not be construed as
relieving the Contractor from the sole respon sibil i ty for material and
work upon which payments have been made, the restoration of
damaged work or as waiving the right of the Owner to require the
fulfi l lment of the terms of the Contract .
5) Progress payments will be made in accordance with the Miami -Dade

on the progress payment application that , in accordance with the
applicable sections of the Contract Documents, compensate for Force
Account Work, for materials not yet incorporated in the work, or for
work under change orders negotiated on a cost -reimbursable basis
will , under procedures of the Owner, be subject to the Owner’s audit
review of the Contractor 's records supporting the payment
application. Audits will be performed so as not to interfere with
t imely processing of applications for payment. If audit indicates the
Contractor has been overpaid under a previous payment application,
that overpayment will be credited against current progress payment
applications. For a per iod of five years from Final Acceptance of the
Contract , the Contractor shall maintain and make avai lable for audit
inspection and copying by the Owner , State and the Government and
their authorized representatives, al l records subject to audit review.

authorized shall be performed by the Contractor at the t ime and in the
manner specified.
The Change Order shal l include, as a minimum:
a. Scope of work to be added, deleted or modified;
b. Cost of work to be added, deleted or modified;
c. The Contract t ime extension or reduction in contract t ime in
the case of deleted work required to perform the work to be
added, deleted or modified;
d. Full release of claims associated with the Contract through the
date of the change order, or a reservation of claims identified
as to each claim reserved, the scope of the work, the maximum
cost of the work, and the maximum number of days of Contract
t ime requested, shall be specified.
The Work Order shall include, at a minimum:
a. Scope of work to be added, deleted or modified;
b. Cost of work to be added, deleted or modified;
c. The Contract t ime extension required to perform the work to be
added, deleted or modified;
d. Full release of claims associated with the work order work, or
a reservation of claims identified as to each claim reserved,
the scope of the work, the maximum cost of the work, and the
maximum number of days of Contract t ime requested, shall be
specified.
2) If Work is ordered, changed, or deleted which is not covered by Unit
Prices, then, the Owner and the Contractor shall negotiate an
equitable adjustment to the Contract Price for the Direct Costs for the
performance of such work in accordance with this art icle. Indirect
Costs for Work ordered, changed or deleted may be reimbursed for
Excusable and Compensable Delay as defined in these Contract
Documents.
a. In order to reimburse the Contractor for addit ional Direct Costs,
ei ther by Work Orde r, Change Order or any other means, the
Contractor must have addit ional work added to the Contract Scope
of Work. The addit ional cost of idle or inefficient labor, from any
cause, or the addit ional cost of labor made idle or inefficient from
any cause wil l not be considered a reimbursable addit ional Direct
Cost. Special equipment or machinery, which is made idle or
inefficient by the Work ordered, changed or deleted, may be
reimbursable if approved by the Architect/Engineer as an
unavoidable cost to the Contractor, caused by the Owner.
b. Costs of special equipment or machinery, not already mobilized
on the si te, approved by the Architect/Engineer, shall be
calculated using the current issue of the Associated Equipment
Distributors (AED) Manual plus any requi red mobilization. The
CONTRACT 60 BID SETCONTRACT 60 BID SET60 BID SETCONTRACT 60
selection of which of the AED rates (daily, weekly, monthly) to be
used to calculate these costs shall be as follows:
i . Between one (1) day and seven (7) days, use the daily rate.
i i . Between seven (7) days and thirty (30) days, use the we ekly
rate.
i i i . Greater than thirty (30) days, use the monthly rate.
c. For less than one (1) day hourly rates, use the daily rate divided
by eight (8).
d. For overtime hourly rates use the daily rate divided by eight (8),
the weekly rate divided by forty (40), or th e monthly rate divided
by one hundred and seventy-six (176) as appropriate.
e. Costs for Special Equipment and Machinery already mobilized on
the si te, shall not exceed the monthly rate stated in the AED
Manual, divided by one hundred and seventy -six (176), per hour
that the Special Equipment and Machinery is in use on the work
plus any required re -mobilization.
f . The cost calculation shall not combine rates within the range of a
t ime extension. It shall use decimals of the t ime extension rate
that the extension falls under. For example, the cost calculation
for a piece of Special Equipment with an approved delay of forty
five (45) days shall be one and one -half (1.5) months t imes the
monthly rate, not one (1) month at the monthly rate, plus two (2)
weeks at the weekly rate, plus one (1) day at the daily rate.
g. Rental for special equipment and machinery, not already
mobilized to the si te, shall be an amount equal to the appropriate
daily, weekly, or monthly rental rate for such equipment, in
accordance with the current issue of Associated Equipment
Distributors’ (AED) "Compilation of Nationally Averaged Rental
Rates and Model Specifications for Construction Equipment"
(notwithstanding the caveats contained therein that such rental
rates are not for use by government agencies) for each and every
rental period (in weeks, days, or months as applicable) that the
special equipment or machinery is in use on the work plus any
required mobilization. Payment for special equipment and
machinery already mobilized to the si te shall not exceed the
monthly rate stated in the AED standards divided by one hundred
and seventy six (176) to establish a per hour rate that the special
equipment and machinery is in use on the Work, plus any required
re-mobilization.
h. For indirect costs, the Contractor shall be allowed a percentage
mark-up as set forth in Paragraph G. 2 below.
F. Differing Site Conditions
1) The Contractor shall immediately, and before such conditions are
disturbed, notify the Architect/Engineer in writ ing of: (1) subsurface
or latent physical conditions at the si te differing materially f rom
those indicated in the Contract Documents, or (2) unknown physical
CONTRACT 61 BID SETCONTRACT 61 BID SET61 BID SETCONTRACT 61
conditions at the si te, of an unusual nature, differing materially from
those ordinarily encountered and generally recognize d as inherent in
work of the character provided for in the Contract .
2) The Architect/Engineer will promptly invest igate the conditions, and
if such conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease
in the Contractor 's cost of, or the t ime requi red for, performance of
any part of the work under the Contract , a Contract change may be
made and the Contract modified in writ ing in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
3) No claim of the Contractor under this art icle will be allowed unless
the Contractor has given the notice required in the Contract
Documents.
4) No claim by the Contractor for a Contract change hereunder will be
allowed if asserted after f inal payment under this Contract .
5) If the Owner is not given writ ten notice prior to the conditions being
disturbed, the Contractor will be deemed to have waived his r ight to
assert a claim for addit ional t ime and compensation arising out of
such changed conditions.
G. Force Account
1) If the Owner and the Contractor cannot reach agreement on an
equitable adjustment to the Contract Price for any work as prescribed
above, then the Extra Work will be performed on a Force Account
basis as directed by the Architect/Engineer and paid for as specified
below.
2) The following percentages will be allowed as mark -ups over Direct
Costs for al l negotiated adjustments to the Contract Amount or for
work performed on either a negotiated lump sum basis or a Force
Account basis:
a. Extra Work Performed directly by Contractor 's Own Forces : The
Contractor may add up to a maximum fiftee n percent (15%) mark-
up on the actual Direct Cost of the Extra Work, subject to review
and approval by the Architect/Engineer, as direct compensation
for Overhead. A 10% mark-up will be added to all negotiated
credit amounts for deleted work not performed to cover Overhead.
b. Extra Work Performed by a Subcontractor or any Sub -tier
Subcontractor : The Subcontractor may add up to a maximum
fifteen percent (15%) mark-up on the actual Direct Cost of the
Extra Work as direct compensation for Overhead. The Contract or
may add a five percent (5%) mark-up on the Subcontractor 's actual
Direct Cost as Contractor’s Overhead. A 10% additional credit
will be added to all Subcontractor negotiated credit amounts for
deleted work not performed to cover quali ty control , superv ision,
coordination, overhead, small tools and incidentals.
3) In the event Extra Work is performed on a Force Account basis, then
the Contractor and the Subcontractor(s), as appropriate, shall
maintain i temized daily records of costs, quanti t ies, labor and t he use
of authorized Special Equipment or Machinery. Copies of such
CONTRACT 62 BID SETCONTRACT 62 BID SET62 BID SETCONTRACT 62
records, maintained as follows, shall be furnished to the
Architect/Engineer dai ly for approval, subject to audit .
a. Comparison of Record: The Contractor, including i ts Subcon -
tractor(s) of any t ier performing the work, and the Archi -
tect/Engineer shall compare records of the cost of force account
work at the end of each day. Agreement shall be indicated by
signature of the Contractor, the Subcontractor performing the
work, and the Architect/Engineer or their duly authorized
representatives.
b. Statement: No payment will be made for work performed on a
force account basis unti l the Contractor has furnished the
Architect/Engineer with duplicate i temized statements of the cost
of such force account work detailed as follows:
i . Name, classification, date, daily hours , total hours, rate and extension for each laborer, tradesman, and foreman.
i i . Designation, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate, and extension of each unit of special machinery an d equipment.
i i i . Quantit ies of materials, prices, and extensions.
iv. Transportation of materials.
The statements shall be accompanied and supported by a receipted invoice of all materials used and transportation charges. However, if materials used on the force a ccount work are not specifically purchased for such work but are taken from the Contractor's stock, then in lieu of the invoices the Contractor shall furnish an affidavit certi fying that such materials were taken from i ts stock, that the quantity claimed was actually used, and that the price and transportation claimed represent the actual cost to the Contractor.
c. Authorization of Special Equipment and Machinery : No
compensation for special equipment or machinery shall be made
without writ ten authorization from the Architect/Engineer. The
Architect/Engineer shall review and evaluate any special
equipment or machinery proposed by the Contractor for use on a
force account basis. As part of i ts evaluation, the
Architect/Engineer shall determine whether any of th e special
equipment or machinery being proposed by the Contractor will be
concurrently used on the Project , including approved changes, or
on other force account work on the Project . If the
Architect/Engineer determines that such a concurrent use of
special equipment or machinery is being proposed by the
Contractor, prior to the authorization of such special equipment or
machinery, the Archi tect/Engineer and thereto Contractor shall
establish a straight -l ine prorated bil l ing mechanism based on the
actual percentage of t ime that the equipment or machinery is
required to be used on the force account work(s).
CONTRACT 63 BID SETCONTRACT 63 BID SET63 BID SETCONTRACT 63
Special equipment or machinery which is approved for use by the
Architect/Engineer shall be reviewed and accounted for on a daily
basis as provided in the Comparison of Record and Statement
paragraphs of this sect ion of the Contract .
d. Inefficiency in the Prosecution of the Work : If in the Owner’s or
Architect/Engineer’s opinion, the Contractor or any of i ts
Subcontractors, in performing Force Account Wo rk, is not making
efficient use of labor, materials or equipment or is proceeding in a
manner which makes Force Account Work unnecessari ly more
expensive to the Owner, the Owner or Architect/Engineer may, in
whole or part , direct the Contractor in the depl oyment of labor,
material and equipment. By way of i l lustration, inefficiency may
arise in the following ways, including but not l imited to: (1) the
t iming of the Work, (2) the use of unnecessary labor or
equipment, (3) the use of a higher percentage of j ourneymen than
in non-force account Work, (4) the failure to procure materials a t
lowest price, or (5) using materials of quali ty higher than
necessary.
H. Contractor Proposals - General
1) The Contractor may at any t ime submit to the Architect/Engineer for
his review proposed modifications to the Contract Documents,
including but not l imited to, changes in the Contract Time and/or
Contract Amount, supported by a cost/price proposal. Upon
acceptance of the proposed modifications by the Owner, a Work
Order or Change Order will be issued. Denial of a proposed
modification will neither provide the Contractor with any basis for
claim for damages nor release the Contractor from contractual
responsibil i t ies. A Contract change in the form of a Contract price
reduction will be made if the change results in a reduction of the cost
of performance and the Contractor will not be enti t led to share in said
savings unless the proposal is made in accordance with Paragraph I of
this art icle. Except as provided in Paragraph I belo w, the Contractor
will not be compensated for any direct , incidental or collateral
benefits or savings the Owner receives as a result of the proposal.
I. Value Engineering Change Proposals: The Contractor may submit to the
Architect/Engineer one or more cost reduction proposals for changing
the Contract requirements. The proposals shall be based upon a sound
study made by the Contractor indicating that the proposal:
a. Will result in a net reduction in the total Contract amount;
b. Will not impair any essential func tion or characterist ic of the Work
such as safety, service l ife, rel iabili ty, economy of operation, ease of
maintenance and necessary standardized features;
c. Will not require an unacceptable extension of the Contract
completion t ime; and
d. Will require a change in the Contract Documents and such change is
not already under consideration by the Owner.
CONTRACT 64 BID SETCONTRACT 64 BID SET64 BID SETCONTRACT 64
i . The Owner may accept in whole or in part any proposal submitted
pursuant to the previous paragraph on Value Engineering Change
Proposals by issuing a Change Orde r which will identify the
proposal on which i t i s based. The Change Order will provide for
a Contract change in the Contract price and will revise any other
affected provisions of the Contract Documents. The equitable
adjustment in the Contract price will be established by
determining the net savings result ing from the accepted change.
The net savings result ing from the change will be shared between
the Contractor and the Owner on the basis of 50 percent for the
Contractor and 50 percent for the Owner and w ill be l imited to
one Value Engineering Change Proposal per Change Order. Net
savings will be determined by deducting from the proposal’s
estimated gross savings (1) the Contractor 's costs of developing
and implementing the proposal ( including any amount attr ibutable
to a subcontractor) and (2) the estimated amount of increased
costs to the Owner result ing from the change, such as evaluation,
implementation, inspection, related i tems, and Owner -furnished
material . Estimated gross savings will include Cont ractor 's labor,
material , equipment, overhead, profit and bond. The Contract
price will be reduced by the sum of the Owner 's costs and share of
the net savings. For the purposes of this art icle, the applicable
provisions of the Contract Documents shall be used to determine
the equitable adjustment to the Contract price.
i i . The Owner will not be l iable for delay in acting upon, or for
failure to act upon, any proposal submitted pursuant to of this
art icle. The decision of the Owner as to the acceptance or
rejection of any such proposal under the Contract will be final .
The submission of a proposal by the Contractor will not in i tself
affect the rights or obl igations of ei ther party under the Contract .
i i i . The Contractor shall have the right to withdraw part or al l o f any
proposal he may make under Paragraph 2 of this art icle at any
t ime prior to acceptance by the Owner . Such withdrawal shall be
made in writ ing to the Architect/Engineer . Each such proposal
shall remain valid for a period of 60 days from the date submi tted.
If the Contractor wishes to withdraw the proposal prior to the
expiration of the 60 day period he will be l iable for the cost
incurred by the Owner in reviewing the proposal.
iv. The Contractor shall specifically identify any proposals under
Paragraph 2 of this art icle with the heading "Value Engineering
Change Proposal", or the proposal will be considered as made
under Paragraph 1 of this art icle.
2) The Contractor, in connection with each proposal for a Contract
Change Notice under this art icle, shall furn ish the following
information:
a. A description of the difference between the exist ing Contract
requirement and the proposed change, and the comparative
advantages and disadvantages of each, justif ication when a
CONTRACT 65 BID SETCONTRACT 65 BID SET65 BID SETCONTRACT 65
function or characterist ic of an i tem is being altered, and the
effect of the change on the performance of the end i tem;
b. An analysis and i temization of the requirements of the Contract
which must be changed if the Value Engineering Change Proposal
is accepted and a recommendation as to how to make each such
change (e.g. , a suggested specification revision);
c. A separate detailed cost estimate for both the exist ing Contract
requirement and the proposed change to provide an estimate of the
reduction in costs, if any, that will result from acceptance of the
Value Engineering Change Proposal taking into account the costs
of development and implementation by the Contractor;
d. A prediction of any effects the proposed change would have on
collateral costs to the Owner such as government -furnished
property costs, costs of related i tems, and costs of maintenance
and operation;
e. A statement of the t ime by which a Contract modification
accepting the Value Engineering Change Proposal must be issued
so as to obtain the maximum cost reduction, noting any effect on
the Contract completion t ime or delivery schedule; and
f . Identification of any previous submission of the Value
Engineering Change Proposal to the Owner, including the dates
submitted, the numbers of the contracts involved, and the previous
actions by the Owner.
3) The Contractor waives any and all claims relating to any delay that
may arise out of a Value Engineering Change Proposal.

11. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES ( Ju n e 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 )
A. Notice of Claims
1) The Contractor will not be enti t led to addit ional t ime or
compensation otherwise payable for any act or failure to act by the
Owner, the happening of any event or occurrence, or any other cause,
unless he shall have given the Architect/Engineer a writ ten notice of
claim therefore as specified in this art ic le.
2) The Contractor shall provide immediate verbal notification with
writ ten confirmation within forty -eight (48) hours of any potential
claims and of the anticipated t ime and/or cost impacts result ing
thereof. The writ ten notice of claim shall set forth the reasons for
which the Contractor believes addit ional compensation and/or t ime
will or may be due, the nature of the costs involved and the
approximate amount of the potential claim.
3) It is the intention of this art icle, that differences between the pa r ties
arising under and by virtue of the Contract shall be brought to the
attention of the Architect/Engineer at the earl iest possible t ime in
order that such matters may be sett led, if possible, or other
appropriate action promptly taken.
4) The notice requirements of this art icle are in addit ion to those
required in other art icles of these Contract Documents.
5) The Contractor shall segregate all costs associated with each
individual claim including but not l imited to labor, equipment,
material , subcontracto r and supplier costs, and all other costs related
to the claim. In the event that the Contractor has multiple claims, the
Contractor will segregate each claim individually including the
respective costs associated with each claim. Failure to segregate
claims and their respective costs will be grounds for the Owner 's
rejection of the claim. No “total cost claims” shall be allowed under
this Contract .
6) The Contractor must maintain a cost accounting system as a condition
for making a claim against the Owner. The cost accounting system
must segregate the costs of the work under the Contract (non -claims-
related) from claims-related and other Contractor costs through the
use of a job cost ledger and be otherwise in compliance with general
accounting principles.
7) If the Owner decides to pay all or part of a claim for which not ice
was not t imely made, the Owner does not waive the right to enforce
the notice requirements in connection with any other claim.
8) Inasmuch as the notice of claim requirements of this art icle are
intended to enable the Architect/Engineer to investigate while facts
are fresh and to take action to minimize or avoid a claim which might
be fi led thereafter, the Contractor 's fai lure to make the required
notice on t ime is l ikely to disadvantage the O wner. Therefore, a
claim that does not comply with the notice requirements above shall
not be considered unless the Contractor submits with his claim proof
CONTRACT 67 BID SETCONTRACT 67 BID SET67 BID SETCONTRACT 67
showing that the Owner has not been prejudiced by the Contractor 's
fai lure to so comply and, in the event the Owner has been prejudiced
by the Contractor 's fai lure to submit a t imely notice of claim, the
Owner will reduce any equitable adjustment claimed by the
Contractor to reflect the damage.
B. Claim Submittals
1) Claims or requests for equitable adjustme nts fi led by the Contractor
shall be fi led in full accordance with this art icle no later than 30
calendar days after the act giving rise to the claim and in sufficient
detail to enable the Owner to ascertain the basis and amount of said
claims. In the case of continuing or on -going claim events, the
Contractor shall be allowed to periodically amend his claim to more
accurately reflect the impact of said claim, unti l the end of the claim
event. No claims for addit ional compensation, t ime extension or for
any other relief under the Contract shall be recognized, processed, or
treated in any manner unless the same is presented in accordance with
this Article. Failure to present and process any claim in accordance
with this Article shall be conclusively deemed a waiver, abandonment
or relinquishment of any such claim, i t being expressly understood
and agreed that the t imely presentation of claims, in sufficient detail
to allow proper investigation and prompt resolution thereof, is
essential to the administration of this Contract .
2) The Owner will review and evaluate the Contractor 's claims. It will
be the responsibil i ty of the Contractor to furnish, when requested by
the Architect/Engineer, such further information and details as may
be required to determine the facts or contentions involved in his
claims. The cost of claims preparation or Change Order negotiations
shall not be reimbursable under this Contract .
3) Any work performed by the Contractor prior to Notice -to-Proceed
(NTP) shall not be the basis for a claim from the Contractor of any
kind.
4) Each claim must be cert if ied by the Contractor as required by the
Miami-Dade Code, False Claims Act (see Code Section 21 -255, et
seq.) , and accompanied by all materials required by Miami -Dade
County Code Section 21 -257. A "certif ied claim" shall be made
under oath by a person duly authorized by the claimant, and shall
contain a statement that:
a. The claim is made in good faith;
b. The claim's supporting data is accurate and complete to the best of
the person's knowledge and beli ef;
c. The amount of the claim accurately reflects the amount that the
claimant believes is due from the Owner; and
d. The certifying person is duly authorized by the claimant to cert ify
the claim.

5) In order to substant iate t ime -related claims (delays, disruptions,
impacts, etc.) , the Contractor shall , i f applicable and as determined
by the Owner, submit, in tr iplicate, the following information:
a. Copy of Contractor 's notice of claim in accordance with this
art icle. Failure to submit the notice is sufficient groun ds to deny
the claim.
b. The approved, as -planned Schedule in accordance with the
applicable section of the Contract Documents and computer
storage media, if applicable.
c. The as-buil t Schedule reflecting changes to the approved
schedule up to the t ime of the impact in question and computer
storage media if applicable.
d. The basis for the duration of the start and finish dates of each
impact activity and the reason for choosing the successor and
predecessor events affected in the schedule shall be explained.
Also, the basis for the duration of any lead/lags inserted into the
schedule and the duration in related activity duration shall be
explained.
e. A marked-up as-buil t Schedule indicating the causes responsible
for changes between the as -planned and as -buil t schedule and
establishing the required cause and effect relationships.
f . After indicating specific t ime related changes on the as -buil t
schedule, the documentation must be segregated into separate
packages with each package documenting a specific duration
change identified previously. This documentation package shall
include Change Orders, Change Notices, Work Orders , writ ten
directions, meeting minutes, etc. , related to the change in
duration.
g. Any loss of efficiency, acceleration, disruption and loss of
productivity claims shall be compensated as part of the
Liquidated Indirect Costs paid for compensable, excusable delays
and mark-up on Direct Cost of changes as allowed by the
Contract . Total cost and modified total cost claims will not be
accepted and the Contractor agrees to waive the right to seek
recovery by these methods. The claimed delay shall not result
from a cause specified in the Contract Documents as a non -
excusable delay.
h. The Contractor assumes all r isk for the following i tems, none of
which shall be the subject of any claim and none of which shall
be compensated for except as they may have been included in the
compensation described under Liquidated Indirect Costs: (1)home
office expenses or any Direct Costs incurred allocat ed from the
headquarters of the Contractor; (2)loss of anticipated profits on
this or any other project , (3) loss of bonding capacity or
capabil i ty; (4) losses due to other projects not bid upon; (5)loss
of business opportunit ies; (6)loss of productivity on this or any
other project; (7)loss of interest income on funds not paid;
CONTRACT 69 BID SETCONTRACT 69 BID SET69 BID SETCONTRACT 69
(8)costs to prepare, negotiate or prosecute claims and (9)costs
spent to achieve compliance with applicable laws and ordinances
(excepting only sales taxes paid shall be reimbursable expense
subject to the provisions of the Contract Documents).
i . All non-time-related claim items for addit ional compensation for
Direct Costs shall be properly documented and supported with
copies of invoices, t ime sheets, rental agreements, crew sheets and
the l ike.
j . Cost information shal l be submitted in suff icient detail to allow
for review. The basis for the budgeted or actual costs shall
include man-hours by trade, labor rates, material and equipment
costs etc. These costs shall be broken down by pay i tem and
Construct ion Specification Insti tute (CSI) Division.
k. The documentation for budgeted cost shall , as a minimum,
include:
i . Copies of al l the Contractor 's bid documents , bid quotes, faxed
quotes, etc.
i i . Copies of al l executed subcontracts.
i i i . Other related budget documents as requested by the
Architect/Engineer.
l . The documentation for actual cost shall , as a minimum, include:
i . Time Sheets.
i i . Materials invoices
i i i . Equipment invoices
iv. Subcontractors’ payments
v. Other related documents as required by the Architect/Engineer.
m. The Contractor shall make all his books, employees, work si tes
and records available to the Owner or i ts representatives for
inspection and audit .
n. No payment shall be made to the Contractor by the Owner for loss
of anticipated profit(s) from any deleted work.
6) As indicated above, the Architect/Engineer and the Field
Representative shall be allowed full and complete access to all
personnel, documents , work si tes or other information reasonably
necessary to investigate any claim. Within sixty (60) days after a
claim has been received, the claim shall ei ther be rejected with an
explanation as to why i t was rejected or acknowledged. Once the
claim is acknowledged, the parties shall at tempt to negotiate a
satisfactory sett lement of the claim, which sett lement shall be
included in a subsequent Work Order or Change Order. If the parties
fail to reach an agreement on a recognized claim, the Owner shall pay
to the Contractor the amount of money i t deems reasonable, less any
appropriate retention, to compensate the Contractor for the
recognized claim.
CONTRACT 70 BID SETCONTRACT 70 BID SET70 BID SETCONTRACT 70
7) Failure of the Contractor to make a specific reservation of rights
regarding any such disputed amounts in the body of the Change Order
which contains the payment shall be construed as a waiver,
abandonment, or relinquishment of al l claims for addit ional monies
result ing from the claims embodied in said Change Order. However,
once the Contractor has properly reserved rights to any claim, no
further reservations of rights shall be required and the Contractor
shall not be required to repeat the reservation in any subsequent
change order. Prior reservation of rights may however be modified,
by express reference, in subsequent change orders. Notwithstanding
the aforementioned, at the t ime of final payment under the Contract ,
the Contractor shall specify all claims which have been denied and all
claims for which rights have been reserved in accordance with this
section. Failure to so specify any particular claim shall be
constructed as a waiver, abandonment, or relinquishment of such
claim.
C. Disputes
1) The following provisions shall govern disputes under this Contract
unless the Special Provisions to this Contract contain the requirement
for the use of an alternate dispute resolution method. For example,
for large projects of great complex ity, a Dispute Review Board
(DRB) may be employed by the Owner to sett le disputes in l ieu of the
Department Director or OOM designee as specified below. In this
case, the DRB alternative shall be specified by the individual
department in the Special Provi sions and, if uti l ized, shall supersede
this dispute provision.
a. In the event the Contractor and Owner are unable to resolve their
differences concerning any determinat ion made by the
Architect/Engineer or Owner on any dispute or claim arising under
or relating to the Contract (referred to in this Section as a
“Dispute”), ei ther the Contractor or Owner may init iate a dispute
in accordance with the procedure set forth in this art icle.
Exhaustion of these procedures shall be a precondition to any
lawsuit permitted hereunder.
b. For contracts with a value of $5 mill ion or less, al l Disputes under
this Contract shall be decided by the Department Director or his
designee. For contracts valued at more than $5 mill ion, Disputes
shall be decided by a designee appointed by the Office of the
Mayor (OOM). Decisions rendered by the Department Director or
OOM designee shall not be binding but shall be admissible in a
court of competent jurisdiction.
c. As soon as practicable, the Department Director or OOM designee
shall adopt a schedule for the Contractor and Owner to fi le writ ten
submissions stating their respective posi t ions and the bases
therefore. The writ ten submissions shall include copies of all
documents and sworn statements in affidavit form from all
witnesses relied on by each party in support of i ts posit ion.
Within 20 working days of the date on which such writ ten
submissions are fi led, the Department Director or OOM designee
CONTRACT 71 BID SETCONTRACT 71 BID SET71 BID SETCONTRACT 71
shall afford each party an opportunity to present a maximum of
one hour of argument. The Department Director or OOM designee
may decide the Dispute on the basis of the affidavits and other
writ ten submissions if , in his opinion, there is no issue of material
fact and the party is enti t led to a favorable resolution pursuant to
the terms of this Contract . As part of such decision, the
Department Director or OOM designee shall determine the
t imeliness and sufficiency of each notice of claim and claim at
issue as provided in this art icle. The Department Director or
OOM designee shall have the au thority to rule on questions of
law, including disputes over contract interpretation, and to resolve
claims, or portions of claims, via summary judgment where there
are no disputed issues of material fact . Furthermore, the
Department Director or OOM designee is authorized by both
parties to strike elements of claims seeking relief or damages not
available under the contract (such as, but not l imited to, claims
for lost profits, off -si te overhead, loss of efficiency or
productivity claims or claim’s prepara t ion costs) by summary
disposit ion.
d. In the event that the Department Director or OOM designee
determines that the aff idavits or other writ ten submissions present
issues of material fact, he shall al low the presentation of evidence
in the form of lay or expert test imony directed solely to the issues
which he may specifically identify to require factual resolution.
The testimonial portion of the process shall not exceed one day in

involves management of noise and solid waste, as well as other pollutants.
C. Schedule and conduct all work in a manner that will minimize the erosion of soils in the area of
the work. Provide erosion control measures such as diversion channels, sedimentation or
filtration systems, berms, staked hay bales, seeding, mulching or other special surface
treatments as are required to prevent silting and muddying of streams, rivers, impoundments,
lakes, etc. All erosion control measures shall be in place in an area prior to construction activity
in that area.
D. This Section is intended to ensure that construction is achieved with a minimum of disturbance
to the existing ecological balance between a water resource and its surroundings. These are
general guidelines. It is the Contractor's responsibility to determine the specific construction
techniques to meet these guidelines.
E. All phases of sedimentation and erosion control shall comply with and be subject to the
approval of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Prepare sedimentation and
erosion control drawings meeting the requirements for approval by that agency. Upon approval,

3. Increase the amount of construction equipment, and/or
4. Reschedule activities to maximize the concurrence of activities and comply with the
revised schedule.
B. If when so requested by the Engineer, failure to submit a written statement of the steps intended
to take or should fail to take such steps as approved by the Engineer, the Engineer may direct
the Contractor to increase the level of effort in man-power (trades), equipment and work
schedule (overtime, weekend and holiday work, etc.) to be employed by the Contractor in order
to remove or arrest the delay to the critical path in the approved schedule and the Contractor
shall promptly provide such level of effort at no additional cost to the Owner.
3.05 ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT SCHEDULE AND COMPLETION TIME
A. If the Contractor wants or needs to make changes in his/her execution of the construction
schedule that would affect the approved CPM schedule, he/she shall notify the Engineer in
writing stating what changes are proposed and the reasons for the changes. If the Engineer
approves such changes, the Contractor shall revise and submit a revised schedule for approval -
without additional cost to the Owner. The CPM schedule shall be adjusted by the Contractor
only after prior approval of his/her proposed changes. Adjustments may consist of changing
portions of the activity sequence, activity durations, division of approved activities, or other
adjustments as may be approved by the Engineer; however, the addition of extraneous, non-
working activities and activities that add unapproved restraints to the CPM schedule will not be
allowed.
B. Shop drawings that are not approved on the first submittal will require the addition of network
activities for the resubmittals.
C. Equipment that does not pass the specified tests will require the addition of network activities
for the retesting.
ER No. S049048 01310 - 9 PCTS No. 13315
D. The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this Contract. In the
event the Contractor requests an extension of any contract completion date, he/she shall furnish
such justification and supporting evidence as the Engineer may deem necessary to determine
whether the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of this Contract.
After receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, the Engineer's shall perform an
assessment or evaluation of the appropriate change in contract time based upon the currently
approved CPM schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Inexcusable delays
(attributable to the Contractor) and non-critical delays (delays to activities which, according to
the CPM schedule, do not affect any contract completion date shown by the Critical Path) shall
not be the basis for a change in contract time. The Engineer will provide a written
recommendation to the Owner based on its assessment, with a copy to the Contractor. The
Contractor shall not change any fixed contract milestones or required completion dates without
the approval of the Owner, evidenced by the execution of a contract change order. However, the
Contractor should make note of such requests for changes in contract time in the narrative of
monthly schedule status reports.
E. The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this Contract. In the
event the Contractor requests an extension of any contract completion date, he/she shall furnish
such justification and supporting evidence as the Engineer may deem necessary to determine
whether the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of this Contract.
The Engineer will, after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, make findings of
fact and will advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the Engineer finds that the Contractor is
entitled to any extension of any contract completion date, the Engineer's determination as to the
total number of days of extension shall be based upon the currently approved CPM schedule
and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data shall be included in the next updating of the
schedule. Inexcusable delays (attributable to the Contractor) and non-critical delays (delays to
activities which, according to the CPM schedule, do not affect any contract completion date
shown by the Critical Path) shall not be the basis for a change in contract time.
F. Each request for change in any contract completion date shall be submitted by the Contractor to
the Engineer in accordance with the notification requirements stipulated in the form of contract
or general conditions. No time extension will be granted for requests that are not submitted in
accordance with the Contract requirements.
G. Total float in the approved CPM network belongs to the project; i.e., either the Owner or
Contractor may take advantage of available total float on a first-come, first-served basis.
Therefore, without obligation to extend either the overall completion date, or any intermediate
completion dates set out in the CPM network, the Owner may initiate changes to the work or
delay work that absorb available total float existing at the time of the change or delay. Owner
initiated changes or delays that affect the Critical Path on the approved CPM network shall be
the sole grounds for extending (or contracting) contract completion dates or fixed milestones.

pipelines installed under this Contract as specified herein, including chlorination of all potable
water lines.
1.02 RELATED WORK
A. Buried pipelines are included in Division 2.
B. Above grade and exposed pipelines are included in Division 15.
PART 2 PRODUCTS (NOT USED)
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 GENERAL
A. Furnish all necessary equipment and labor for cleaning [and] testing [and chlorinating] the
pipelines. The procedures and methods shall be approved by the Engineer.
B. Make any taps and furnish all necessary caps, plugs, etc., as required in conjunction with testing
pipelines. Furnish a test pump, gauges and any other equipment required in conjunction with
carrying out the hydrostatic tests.
3.02 CLEANING PIPELINES
A. As pipe laying progresses and at the conclusion of the work thoroughly clean all new pipelines
by flushing with water or other means to remove all dirt, stones, pieces of wood or other
material which may have entered during the construction period. If, after this cleaning,
obstructions remain, they shall be removed.
3.03 TESTING GRAVITY PIPELINES
A. All gravity pipelines shall be tested for leakage by an infiltration or exfiltration test. Buried
piping shall be tested by an infiltration test if the groundwater is more than 2-ft above the crown
of the pipe for the full length of the section to be tested. Air testing may be used in lieu of an
exfiltration test subject to approval of the Engineer.
B. Exfiltration Test
1. Leakage tests by exfiltration shall be made by creating a head in the pipeline to be tested
by filling the line and either a manhole or temporary riser on one end of the line with
water. The length of pipe to be tested shall be such that the head over the crown at the
upstream end is not less than 2-ft and the head over the downstream crown is not more than
6-ft. The pipe shall be plugged by pneumatic bags or mechanical plugs in such a manner
that the air can be released from the pipe while it is being filled with water. Before any
ER No. S049048 01445 - 2 PCTS No. 13315
measurements are made, the pipe shall be kept full of water long enough to allow
absorption and the escape of any trapped air to take place. Following this, a test period of
at least one hour shall begin. Provisions shall be made for measuring the amount of water
required to maintain the water at a constant level during the test period.
2. If any joint shows an appreciable amount of leakage, the jointing material shall be removed
and the joint repaired. If any pipe is defective, it shall be removed and replaced. If the
quantity of water required to maintain a constant head in the pipe does not exceed 1.9
gallons per inch of diameter per day per 100-ft of pipe and if all the leakage is not confined
to a few joints, workmanship shall be considered satisfactory.
C. Infiltration Test
1. Pipe shall be tested for infiltration after the backfill has been placed and the ground water
allowed to return to normal elevation. The length of line to be tested shall be not less than
the length between adjacent manholes and not more than the total length of each size of
pipe. The allowable infiltration shall be 1.9 gallons per inch of diameter per day per 100-ft
of pipe in each section tested. There shall be no gushing or spurting leaks.
2. If an inspection of the completed pipeline or any part thereof shows pipes or joints which
allow noticeable infiltration of water, the defective work or material shall be replaced or
repaired as directed.
3. Rates of infiltration shall be determined by means of V-notch weirs, pipe spigots, or by
plugs in the end of the pipe installed in an approved manner and at such times and
locations as may be directed by the Engineer.
D. When the pipeline to be tested is reinforced concrete pipe, the allowable leakage in the above
tests shall be 4.7 gallons per inch of diameter per 100-ft of pipe.
3.04 TESTING PRESSURE PIPELINES
A. All pressure pipelines shall be pressure and leakage tested. Pipelines shall be subjected to a
hydrostatic pressure of 50 percent above the normal operating pressure and this pressure
maintained for at least 10 minutes. The leakage test shall be conducted at the maximum
operating pressure as determined by the Engineer, and this pressure shall be maintained for at
least two hours. The test pump and water supply shall be arranged to allow accurate
measurement of the water required to maintain the test pressure. Where applicable, hydrant
branch gate valves shall remain open during this test. The amount of leakage which will be
permitted shall be in accordance with AWWA C600.
3.05 CHLORINATION OF PIPELINES
A. Before being placed in service, all new potable water pipelines shall be chlorinated using the
continuous feed method specified in AWWA C651. The procedure shall be approved by the
Engineer in advance.
B. The location of the chlorination and sampling points will be determined by the Engineer in the
field. Taps for chlorination and sampling shall be installed. Uncover and backfill the taps as
required.
ER No. S049048 01445 - 3 PCTS No. 13315
C. The general procedure for chlorination shall be first to flush all dirty or discolored water from
the lines and then introduce chlorine in approved dosages through a tap at one end, while water
is being withdrawn at the other end of the line. The chlorine solution shall remain in the pipeline
for 24 hours.
D. Following the chlorination period, all treated water shall be flushed from the lines at their
extremities and replaced with potable water. All treated water flushed from the lines shall be
disposed of by discharging to the nearest sanitary sewer or by other approved means. No
discharge to any storm sewer or natural water course will be allowed. Bacteriological sampling
and analysis of the replacement water may then be made by the Engineer in full accordance

and groundwater in excavations shall be suitable for the intended purpose.
C. Standby pumping systems and a source of standby power shall be maintained at all sites.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 GENERAL
A. Control surface water and groundwater such that excavation to final grade is made in-the-dry,
the natural undisturbed condition of the subgrade soils are maintained, and softening and/or
instability or disturbance due to the presence or seepage of water does not occur. All
construction and backfilling shall proceed in-the-dry and flotation of completed portions of
work shall be prohibited.
B. Methods of groundwater control may include but are not limited to perimeter trenches and sump
pumping, perimeter groundwater cutoff, well points, ejectors, deep wells and combinations
thereof.
C. Where groundwater levels are above the proposed bottom of excavation level, a pumped
dewatering system will be required for pre-drainage of the soils prior to excavation, and for
maintaining the lowered groundwater level until construction has been completed to such an
extent that the structure, pipeline or fill will not be floated or otherwise damaged.
D. It is expected that the type of system, spacing of dewatering units and other details of the work
will have to be varied depending on soil/water conditions at a particular location.
ER No. S049048 02140 - 4 PCTS No. 13315
E. All work included in this Section shall be done in a manner which will protect adjacent
structures and utilities and shall not cause loss of ground or disturbance to the pipe bearing soils
or to soils which support overlying or adjacent structures.
F. Install, monitor and report data from observation wells. Evaluate the collected data relative to
groundwater control system performance and modify systems as necessary to dewater the site in
accordance with the Contract requirements.
G. Locate groundwater control system components where they will not interfere with construction
activities adjacent to the work area or interfere with the installation and monitoring of
geotechnical instrumentation including observation wells. Excavations for sumps or drainage
ditches shall not be made within or below 1H:1V slopes extending downward and out from the
edges of existing or proposed foundation elements or from the downward vertical footprint of
the pipe.

not be floated or otherwise damaged by allowing water levels to return to natural elevations.
C. Pipe, masonry, and concrete shall not be placed in water or be submerged within 24 hours after
being installed. Water shall not flow over new masonry or concrete within four days after
placement.
D. In no event shall water rise to cause unbalanced pressure on structures until the concrete or
mortar has set at least 24 hours. Prevent flotation of the pipe by promptly placing backfill.
E. Dewatering shall at all times be conducted in such a manner as to preserve the natural
undisturbed condition of the subgrade soils at the proposed bottom of excavation.
F. If the subgrade of the trench or excavation bottom becomes disturbed due to inadequate
dewatering or drainage, excavate below normal grade as directed by the Engineer and refill with
structural fill, screened gravel or other material as approved by the Engineer at the Contractor's
expense.
G. It is expected that the initial dewatering plan may have to be modified to suit the variable
soil/water conditions to be encountered during construction. Dewater and excavate, at all times,
in a manner which does not cause loss of ground or disturbance to the pipe bearing soil or soil
which supports overlying or adjacent structures or instability of the excavation conditions.
ER No. S049048 02140 - 5 PCTS No. 13315
H. If the method of dewatering does not properly dewater the excavation as specified, install
additional groundwater observation wells as directed by the Engineer and do not place any pipe
or structure until the readings obtained from the observation wells indicate that the groundwater
has been lowered a minimum of 2-ft below the bottom of the final excavation within the
excavation limits.

D. The application of fertilizer may be performed hydraulically. Clean all structures and paved
areas of unwanted deposits of the mixture.
ER No. S049048 02931 - 4 PCTS No. 13315
3.02 INSTALLATION OF TOPSOIL
A. Maintain previously established grades, as shown on the Drawings, in a true and even condition.
B. Prepare subgrade by tilling prior to placement of topsoil to obtain a more satisfactory bond
between the two layers. Tillage operations shall be across the slope. Tillage shall not take place
on slopes steeper than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or where tillage equipment cannot be operated.
Accomplish tillage by disking or harrowing to a depth of 9-in parallel to contours. Do not
perform tillage when the subgrade is frozen, excessively wet, extremely dry or in other
conditions which would not permit acceptable results. Rake the subgrade and remove all
rubbish, sticks, roots and stones larger than 2-in. Rake subgrade surfaces, or otherwise loosen,
immediately prior to covering surfaces with loam.
C. Place topsoil over approved areas to a depth sufficiently greater than required so that, after
natural settlement and light rolling, the complete work will conform to the lines, grades and
elevations shown on the Drawings. Do not spread loam in water or while it is frozen or muddy.
D. After topsoil has been spread, carefully prepare it by scarifying or harrowing and hand raking.
Remove all stiff clods, lumps, roots, litter and other foreign material from the loamed area and
dispose of it as approved. The areas shall also be free of smaller stones, in excessive quantities,
as determined by the Engineer. Then roll the whole surface with a hand roller weighing not
more than 100 lbs/ft of width. During the rolling, fill all depressions caused by settlement of
rolling with additional loam, regrade the surface and roll until a smooth and even finished grade
is created.
3.03 INSTALLATION OF SOD
A. Only perform sodding and conditioning during those periods within the seasons which are
normal for such work as determined by the weather, locally accepted practice and as approved
by the Engineer.
B. Perform sodding between the period of March 15 to June 1 or August 15 to October 1. Only
perform sodding during the period from October 2 to March 14 upon approval of the Engineer.
Only perform sodding during the period from June 1 to August 14 if irrigation is provided.
C. Perform sodding within 10 days following soil preparation.
D. During periods of higher than optimal temperature for species being specified and after all
unevenness in the soil surface has been corrected, lightly moisten the soil immediately prior to
laying the sod.
E. Lay the first row of sod in a straight line with subsequent rows placed parallel to and butted
tightly against each other. Stagger lateral joints. Exercise care to ensure that the sod is not
stretched or overlapped and that all joints are butted tight to prevent voids.
F. As sodding is completed in any one section, roll the entire section by making four passes with a
hand roller weighing not more than 100 lbs/ft of width.
G. Water sod immediately after transplanting to prevent excessive drying during progress of the
work. After rolling, thoroughly water the sod to a depth sufficient that the underside of the new
sod pad and soil immediately below the sod are thoroughly wet. Have adequate water available
ER No. S049048 02931 - 5 PCTS No. 13315
at the site prior to, during and after transplanting the sod. Keep the soil on soil pads moist at all
times. In the absence of adequate rainfall, water daily or as often as necessary after installation
and in sufficient quantities to maintain moist soil to a minimum depth of 4-in. Perform watering
during the heat of the day to help prevent wilting.
3.04 EROSION CONTROL
A. In order to prevent unnecessary erosion of newly topsoiled and graded slopes and unnecessary
siltation of drainage ways, carry out sodding as soon as a unit or portion of the project has been
satisfactorily completed. For the purpose of this project, a unit is defined as 10,000 sq ft. When
protection of newly loamed and graded areas is necessary at a time which is outside of the
normal seeding season, protect those areas by whatever means necessary, as approved by the
Engineer and prevent siltation in the areas beyond the Limit of Work.
B. When newly graded subgrade areas cannot be topsoiled and sodded because of season or
weather conditions and will remain exposed for more than 30 days, protect those areas against
erosion and washouts by temporary mulching. Prior to application of topsoil, thoroughly
incorporate any such materials applied for erosion control into the subgrade by discing. Apply
fertilizer prior to spreading of topsoil.
C. On slopes, provide against washouts by an approved method. Regrade and resod all washouts
that occur until a good sod is established, at no additional cost to the Owner.

ER No. S049048 03301 - 7 PCTS No. 13315
C. At construction joints and at concrete joints indicated to be "roughened", uniformly roughen the
surface of the concrete to a full amplitude (distance between high and low points and side to
side) of 1/4-in with chipping tools to expose a fresh face. Thoroughly clean joint surfaces of
loose or weakened materials by waterblasting or sandblasting and prepare for bonding. At least
two hours before and again shortly before the new concrete is deposited, saturate the joints with
water. After glistening water disappears, coat joints with neat cement slurry mixed to the
consistency of very heavy paste. The surfaces shall receive a coating at least 1/8-in thick,
scrubbed-in by means of stiff bristle brushes. Deposit new concrete before the neat cement
dries.
3.02 REINFORCING STEEL
A. Fabricate reinforcing steel accurately to the dimensions shown. Bend bars around a revolving
collar having a diameter of not less than that recommended in ACI 318. All bars shall be bent
cold.
B. Provide tension lap splices in compliance with ACI 318. Stagger splices in adjacent bars where
possible. Provide Class B tension lap splices at all locations unless otherwise indicated.
C. Lap splices in welded wire fabric in accordance with the requirements of ACI 318 but not less
than 12-in. Tie the spliced fabrics together with wire ties spaced not more than 24-in on center
and lace with wire of the same diameter as the welded wire fabric. Offset splices in adjacent
widths to prevent continuous splices.
D. Use precast concrete blocks where the reinforcing steel is to be supported over soil. Use plastic
protected bar supports or steel supports with plastic tips where the reinforcing steel is to be
supported on forms for a concrete surface that will be exposed to weather, high humidity, or
liquid. Use stainless steel supports or plastic tipped metal supports in all other locations unless
otherwise noted on the Drawings or specified herein.
E. Before placing in position, clean reinforcement of loose mill scale and rust, mud, dirt, grease,
oil and other coatings, including ice that reduce or destroy bond. When there is a delay in
depositing concrete after the reinforcement is in place, bars shall be reinspected and cleaned
again when necessary.
F. Coat reinforcement which is to be exposed for a considerable length of time after being placed
with a heavy coat of cement grout.
G. Do not cover any reinforcing steel with concrete until the amount and position of the
reinforcement has been checked and the Engineer has given permission to proceed.
3.03 INSPECTION AND COORDINATION
A. Batching, mixing, transporting, placing and curing of concrete shall be subject to the inspection
of the Engineer at all times. Advise the Engineer of readiness to proceed at least six working
hours prior to each concrete placement. The Engineer will inspect the preparations for
concreting including the preparation of previously placed concrete, the reinforcing and the
alignment, cleanliness and tightness of formwork. Do not place concrete without the inspection
and acceptance of the Engineer.
ER No. S049048 03301 - 8 PCTS No. 13315
3.04 CONCRETE APPEARANCE
A. Remix concrete showing either poor cohesion or poor coating of the coarse aggregate with
paste. If this does not correct the condition, the concrete shall be rejected.
B. Provide concrete having a homogeneous structure which, when hardened, will have the
specified strength, durability and appearance. Provide mixtures and workmanship such that
concrete surfaces, when exposed, will require no finishing except as specified herein.
3.05 PLACING AND COMPACTING
A. Do not place concrete until forms, condition of subgrade and method of placement have been
approved by the Engineer. Remove all debris, foreign matter, dirt, ice and standing water from
the forms before depositing concrete. Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade, snow or ice.
The contact surface between concrete previously placed and new concrete shall be cleaned and
brushed with cement paste. Concrete, except as indicated on the Drawings, shall not be placed
in water or submerged within 24 hours after placing, nor shall running water be permitted to
flow over the surface of fresh concrete within 4 days after its placing.
B. Deposit concrete as near its final position as possible to prevent segregation due to rehandling
or flowing. Pumping of concrete will be permitted when an approved design mix and aggregate
sizes suitable for pumping are used. Do not deposit concrete which has partially hardened or
which has been contaminated by foreign materials. If the section cannot be placed continuously,
place construction joints as specified or as approved. Place concrete for walls using tremie tubes
in 12-in to 24-in lifts, keeping the surface horizontal. Do not drop concrete more than 4-ft.
C. Use high frequency mechanical vibrators to obtain proper consolidation of the concrete. Do not
use vibrators to move or transport concrete in the forms. Do not over-vibrate so as to segregate.
Continue vibration until the frequency returns to normal, trapped air ceases to rise and the
surface appears liquefied, flattened and glistening. Use spades, rods or forks so that concrete is
completely worked around reinforcement, embedded items, pipe stubs, and openings and into
corners of forms.
3.06 CURING AND PROTECTION
A. Protect all concrete work against injury from the elements and defacements of any nature during
construction operations.
B. Cure all concrete in conformance with ACI 301. Concrete that is to be used for the containment
of water shall be water cured. Water curing shall be by ponding, by continuous sprinkling or by
covering with continuously saturated burlap. Other concrete shall be cured by either water
curing, sheet material curing or liquid membrane curing compound except that liquid membrane
curing compound shall not be used on any concrete surface where additional concrete is to be
placed or where the concrete surface is to be coated or painted.
C. Protect finished surfaces and slabs from the direct rays of the sun to prevent checking and crazing.
D. During cold weather concrete shall be batched, delivered, placed, cured and protected in
compliance with the recommendations of ACI 306R. Do not use salt, manure or other chemicals
for cold weather protection.
ER No. S049048 03301 - 9 PCTS No. 13315
E. During hot weather concrete shall be batched, delivered, placed, cured and protected in
compliance with the recommendations of ACI 305R. The temperature of the concrete shall be
such that it will cause no difficulties from loss of slump, flash set or cold joints. Immediately
cover plastic concrete with sheet curing material during hot weather.
3.07 FIELD TESTS
A. Sets of field control cylinder specimens will be taken by the Engineer during the progress of the
work, in compliance with ASTM C31. The number of sets of concrete test cylinders taken of
each class of concrete placed each day will not be less than one set per day, nor less than one set
for each 150 cu yds of concrete nor less than one set for each 5,000 sq ft of surface area for
slabs or walls. Specimens will be formed in 6-in diameter by 12-in long non-absorbent
cylindrical molds.
1. A "set" of test cylinders shall consist of four cylinders: one to be tested at seven days and
two to be tested and their strengths averaged at 28 days. The fourth may be used for a
special test at 3 days or to verify strength after 28 days if 28 day test results are low.
2. When the average 28 day compressive strength of the cylinders in any set falls below the
required compressive strength or below proportional minimum seven-day strengths (where
proper relation between seven and 28 day strengths have been established by tests), change
proportions, cementitious content, or temperature conditions to achieve the required
strengths at no additional cost to the Owner.
B. Cooperate in the making of tests by allowing free access to the work for the selection of
samples. Provide an insulated closed curing box for the specimens and protect the specimens
against injury or loss through construction operations. Furnish material and labor required for
the purpose of taking concrete cylinder samples. All shipping of specimens will be paid for by
the Owner.
C. Slump tests will be made in the field by the Engineer in conformity with ASTM C143.
D. Tests for air content will be made in the field by the Engineer in compliance with either the
pressure method (ASTM C231) or by the volumetric method (ASTM C173).
3.08 STRIPPING AND FINISHING CONCRETE
A. Do not remove forms before the concrete has attained a strength of at least 30 percent of the
specified design strength nor before reaching approximately "100 day-degrees" of moist curing
(whichever is the longer). Degree-days are defined as the total number of 24 hour periods
multiplied by the weighted average daily air temperature at the surface of the concrete (e.g., 7
days at an average 50 degrees F = 350 degree-days).
B. Exercise care to prevent damaging edges or obliterating the lines of chamfers, rustications or
corners when removing the forms or doing any other work adjacent thereto.
C. Clean all exposed concrete surfaces and adjoining work stained by leakage of concrete, to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
D. Immediately after removal of forms remove tie cones and metal portions of ties. Fill holes
promptly upon stripping as follows: Moisten the hole with water, followed by a 1/16-in brush
ER No. S049048 03301 - 10 PCTS No. 13315
coat of neat cement slurry mixed to the consistency of a heavy paste. Immediately plug the hole
with a 1 to 1.5 mixture of cement and concrete sand mixed slightly damp to the touch (just short
of "balling"). Hammer the grout into the hole until dense, and an excess of paste appears on the
surface in the form of a spider web. Trowel smooth with heavy pressure. Avoid burnishing.
E. Defective concrete and honeycombed areas: Chip down square and at least 1-in deep to sound
concrete with hand chisels or pneumatic chipping hammers. Irregular voids or surface stones need
not be removed if they are sound, free of laitance, and firmly embedded in the parent concrete. If
honeycomb exists around reinforcement, chip to provide a clear space at least 3/8-in wide all
around the steel. For areas less than 1-1/2-in deep, the patch may be made in the same manner as
described above for filling form tie holes, care being exercised to use adequately dry (non-
trowelable) mixtures and to avoid sagging. Thicker repairs will require build-up in successive 1-
1/2-in layers on successive days, each layer being applied (with slurry, etc.) as described above.
F. Concrete to receive dampproofing and concrete not exposed in the finished work shall have off-
form finish with fins and other projections removed and tie cones and defects filled as specified
above.
G. Screed top surface of slabs to the established grades and to a true plane with a tolerance of 1/8-
in when checked with a 10-ft straightedge. Pitch surface to drain unless otherwise noted on the
Drawings. Finish the surface to give a smooth, hard, even surface free from high or low spots or
other defects. Concrete subject to pedestrian traffic shall be given a broom finish. Failure to
meet these conditions shall be cause for removal, grinding, or other correction as directed by the
Engineer.

comply with joint-sealant manufacturer's written instructions. Confine primers to areas of joint-
sealant bond; do not allow spillage or migration onto adjoining surfaces.
C. Masking Tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact of sealant or primer with
adjoining surfaces that otherwise would be permanently stained or damaged by such contact or
by cleaning methods required to remove sealant smears. Remove tape immediately after tooling
without disturbing joint seal.
3.03 INSTALLATION OF JOINT SEALANTS

required to produce cross-sectional shapes and depths of installed sealants relative to joint
widths that allow optimum sealant movement capability.
1. Do not leave gaps between ends of sealant backings.
2. Do not stretch, twist, puncture, or tear sealant backings.
3. Remove absorbent sealant backings that have become wet before sealant application, and
replace them with dry materials.
D. Install bond-breaker tape behind sealants where sealant backings are not used between sealants
and backs of joints.
E. Install sealants using proven techniques that comply with the following and at the same time
backings are installed:
1. Place sealants so they directly contact and fully wet joint substrates.
2. Completely fill recesses in each joint configuration.
3. Produce uniform, cross-sectional shapes and depths relative to joint widths that allow op-
timum sealant movement capability.
F. Tooling of Non-sag Sealants: Immediately after sealant application and before skinning or cur-
ing begins, tool sealants according to requirements specified in subparagraphs below to form
smooth, uniform beads of configuration indicated; to eliminate air pockets; and to ensure con-
tact and adhesion of sealant with sides of joint.

a. Perform 10 tests for the first 1000 feet of joint length for each kind of sealant and
joint substrate.
2. Test Method: Test joint sealants according to Method A, Field-Applied Sealant Joint Hand
Pull Tab, in Appendix X1 in ASTM C 1193 or Method A, Tail Procedure, in ASTM C
1521.
a. For joints with dissimilar substrates, verify adhesion to each substrate separately; ex-
tend cut along one side, verifying adhesion to opposite side. Repeat procedure for op-
posite side.
3. Inspect tested joints and report on the following:
a. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free of voids.
b. Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified requirements.
c. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint
substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each kind of
product and joint substrate. Compare these results to determine if adhesion complies
with sealant manufacturer's field-adhesion hand-pull test criteria.
4. Record test results in a field-adhesion-test log. Include dates when sealants were installed,
names of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether joints were
primed, adhesion results and percent elongations, sealant material, sealant configuration,
and sealant dimensions.
5. Repair sealants pulled from test area by applying new sealants following same procedures
used originally to seal joints. Ensure that original sealant surfaces are clean and that new
sealant contacts original sealant.
B. Evaluation of Field-Adhesion-Test Results: Sealants not evidencing adhesive failure from test-
ing or non-compliance with other indicated requirements will be considered satisfactory. Re-
move sealants that fail to adhere to joint substrates during testing or to comply with other re-
quirements. Retest failed applications until test results prove sealants comply with indicated re-
quirements.
3.05 CLEANING
A. Clean off excess sealant or sealant smears adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by methods
and with cleaning materials approved in writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and of prod-
ucts in which joints occur.
3.06 PROTECTION
A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances
and from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so sealants are without
deterioration or damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage
or deterioration occurs, cut out, remove, and repair damaged or deteriorated joint sealants im-
mediately so installations with repaired areas are indistinguishable from original work.
