the construction, reconstruction, alteration or repair
TCNJ FORCINA HALL - HVAC AND ROOF REPLACEMENT dlb # 47210
ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION January 15, 2018
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 010250 - 5
of any building, structure, facility or other
improvement to real property, requires the withholding
of payment of a percentage of the amount of the
contract, the contractor may agree to the withholding
of payments in the manner prescribed in the contract,
or may deposit with the State college registered book
bonds, entry municipal bonds, State bonds or other
appropriate bonds of the State of New Jersey, or
negotiable bearer bonds or notes of any political
subdivision of the State, the value of which is equal
to the amount necessary to satisfy the amount that
otherwise would be withheld pursuant to the terms of
the contract. The nature and amount of the bonds or
notes to be deposited shall be subject to approval by
the State college. For purposes of this section,
"value" shall mean par value or current market value,
whichever is lower.
If the contractor agrees to the withholding of
payments, the amount withheld shall be deposited, with
a banking institution or savings and loan association
insured by an agency of the Federal government, in an
account bearing interest at the rate currently paid by
such institutions or associations on time or savings
deposits. The amount withheld, or the bonds or notes

such withholding. Any interest accruing on cash
payments withheld shall be credited to the State
college.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 010250 - 6
c.2. Upon acceptance of the work performed pursuant to
the contract for which the contractor has agreed to
the withholding of payments pursuant to subsection a.
of this section, all amounts being withheld by the
State college shall be released and paid in full to
the contractor within 45 days of the final acceptance
date agreed upon by the contractor and the State
college, without further withholding of any amounts
for any purpose whatsoever, provided that the contract
has been completed as indicated. If the State college
requires maintenance security after acceptance of the
work performed pursuant to the contract, such security
shall be obtained in the form of a maintenance bond.
The maintenance bond shall be no longer than two years
and shall be no more than 100% of the project costs.
d. This act shall take effect immediately. This bill
supplements the “State College Contracts Law,”
P.L.1986, c.43 (C.18A:64-52 et seq.), and applies to
any State college contract for over $100,000 which
involves the construction, reconstruction, alteration
or repair of any building, structure, facility or
other improvement to real property. Under the
provisions of this bill, whenever a contract of this
type requires the withholding of payment of a
percentage of the amount of the contract, the
contractor would have the choice of either agreeing to
a retainage deduction from each monthly progress
payment, or the contractor could choose to deposit
bonds in the amount necessary to satisfy the amount
that otherwise would be withheld under the contract.
If a contractor chooses a retainage deduction from
each monthly payment, then the retainage would be
limited to 2% of the amount due on each partial
payment. Upon acceptance of the work performed
pursuant to the contract for which the contractor has
agreed to a retainage deduction, all amounts being
withheld by the State college must be paid in full to
the contractor within 45 days of the final acceptance
date agreed upon by the contractor and the State
college. The bill provides that if the State college
requires maintenance security after acceptance of the
work performed under the contract, the security must
be obtained in the form of a maintenance bond, which
is required to be no longer than two years and no
more than 100% of the project costs. The provisions
of this bill are similar to provisions in the “Local
TCNJ FORCINA HALL - HVAC AND ROOF REPLACEMENT dlb # 47210
ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION January 15, 2018
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 010250 - 7
Public Contracts Law,” P.L.1971, c.198 (C.40A:11-1 et
seq.) and the “Public School Contracts Law,” P.L.1977,
c.114 (C.18A:18A-1 47 et seq.).
3. Upon substantial completion, the retainage shall, upon
the Architect/Owner’s approval, remain at 2% of the
value of work completed. Final release of retained
monies will occur only upon the total completion of all
punch list and closeout documentation to the
satisfaction of the Architect and Owner.
4. For each day's delay in the Contractor's submission of
an application for payment acceptable to the Architect
and Owner, the Owner may delay one day in making his
progress payment.
5. Owner shall make payments within 30 days of receipt of said
monthly pay requisition.
1.6 APPLICATION AT TIME OF SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
A. Following issuance of certificate of substantial completion
on each Contractor's work, and also in part as applicable to
prior certificates on portions of completed work as
designated, a "special" payment application may be prepared
and submitted by Contractor. The principal administrative
actions and submittals which shall precede or coincide with
such special applications can be summarized as follows, but
not necessarily by way of limitation:
1. Occupancy permits and similar approvals or cer-
tifications by governing authorities and franchised
services, assuring Owner's full access and use of
completed work.
2. Warranties, guarantees, maintenance agreements and
similar provisions of Contract Documents.

7. Listing of Contractor's incomplete work, recognized as
exceptions to certificate of substantial completion.
1.7 FINAL PAYMENT APPLICATION

precede or coincide with submittal of the Contractor's final
payment application can be summarized as follows, but not
necessarily by way of limitation.
1. Completion of project closeout requirements.
2. Completion of items specified for completion beyond
time of substantial completion, regardless of whether
special payment application was previously made.
3. Assurance, satisfactory to Owner and Owner, that

1.8 WAIVER OF LIENS
A. Each Contractor, for himself, and for all Subcontractors and
material men, agrees that no mechanic's lien or other claim
shall be filed or maintained by the Contractor or by any
Subcontractor, materialmen, laborer or any other person
whatsoever for, or on account of any work performed or
materials furnished under this Contract. This agreement
shall be an independent contract, and the Contractor shall
execute and deliver a separate Waiver of Liens in form and
substance satisfactory to the Architect and Owner
contemporaneously with the execution of the Owner-Contractor
Agreement and before any work is begun at the site.
B. In every subcontract entered into by each Contractor after
execution of this Contract or in connection herewith, the
Contractor shall incorporate a provision, similar to the
TCNJ FORCINA HALL - HVAC AND ROOF REPLACEMENT dlb # 47210
ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION January 15, 2018
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 010250 - 9
foregoing paragraph, to the effect that neither the

shall file or maintain any mechanic's lien or other claim
against the Architect or Owner in connection with the Work.

SUBMITTALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS 013000-8
B. General Requirements:
1. The requirements for substitutions do not apply to
specified Contractor options on products and
construction methods. Revisions to Contract Documents,
where requested by Owner or Engineer are changes, not
substitutions. Contractor's determination of and
compliance with governing regulations and orders issued
by governing authorities do not constitute
substitutions and do not constitute a basis for change
orders. Otherwise, Contractor's requests for changes in
products, materials, and methods of construction
required by Contract Documents are considered requests
for substitutions, and are subject to requirements
hereto.
2. To the greatest extent possible, provide products,
materials and equipment of a singular generic kind and
from a single source.
3. Where more than one choice is available as options for
Contractor's selection of a product or material, select
an option that is compatible with other products and
materials already selected. Total compatibility among
options is not assured by limitations within Contract
Documents, but shall be provided by Contractor.
Compatibility is a basic general requirement of
product/material selections.
4. Any and all contractor substitutions that require
additional work by other trades not specifically called
for in the documents shall be paid for by the
contractor requesting the substitution if any other
trade increase is required.
5. Requested substitution offers Owner a substantial
advantage in cost, time, energy conservation, or other
considerations, after deducting additional
responsibilities Owner must assume. Owner's additional
responsibilities may include compensation to Engineer
for redesign and evaluation services, increased cost of
other construction by Owner, and similar
considerations.
C. Submittals: Submit 6 copies, utilizing Substitution Request
Form, CSI Form 13.1.A, fully identified for product or
method being requested for substitution, including related
specification section and drawing numbers, and fully
documented to show compliance with requirements for

proceeding, where known that named product is not a
feasible or acceptable selection.
2. Two or more product/manufacturer names; provide one of
the named products or equivalent, at Contractor's
option; but excluding products which do not comply with
requirements. Advise Engineer before proceeding.
3. Equivalent; where named products in Specifications text
are accompanied by the term "or equivalent", or other
language of similar effect, comply with those Contract
Documents provisions concerning substitutions for
obtaining Engineer's approval of equivalent product.
4. Named, except as otherwise indicated, is defined to
mean manufacturer's name for product, as recorded in
published product literature, of latest issue as of
date of Contract Documents. Refer requests to use
products of a later or earlier model to Engineer for
acceptance before proceeding.
5. Where compliance with an imposed standard, code or
regulation is required, selection from among products
that comply with requirements including those
standards, codes and regulations, is Contractor's
option.
6. Provide products which comply with specific
performances indicated, and which are recommended by
TCNJ FORCINA HALL - HVAC AND ROOF REPLACEMENT dlb # 47210
ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION January 15, 2018

with prescriptive requirements, using specified
ingredients and components, and complying with
specified requirements for mixing, fabricating, curing,
finishing, testing and similar operations in
manufacturing process.
8. Where matching of an established sample is required,
final judgment of whether a product proposed by
Contractor matches sample satisfactorily is Engineer's
judgment. Where no product within specified cost
category is available, which matches sample
satisfactorily and complies with requirements, comply
with Contract Document provisions concerning
substitutions for selection of a matching product
outside established cost category or not complying with
requirements.
9. Where specified product requirements include "...as
selected from manufacturer's full range of colors,
patterns, textures..." or words of similar effect, the
selection of manufacturer and basic product data is to
comply with requirements of the Contract, and selection
shall be from the full range of products within the
requirements. Where specified product requirements
include "... as the industry...", or words to that
effect, selection of product complying with
requirements, is Engineer's selection, including
designation of manufacturer, where necessary to obtain
desired color, pattern or texture.
E. Substitutions may be permitted by the Engineer, if, in his
opinion, the requirements of the proposed substitution
comply with the requirements specified for the material,
article or piece of equipment; however, the Engineer is not
required to permit substitution pursuant to the case of
Whitten Corporation vs. Paddock, Incorporated, United States
District Court, Massachusetts, April 12, 1974, affirmed by
the Federal First Circuit Court, December 14, 1974.
F. After award of contract, the Contractor may submit
substitutes to the Engineer for review, fully documented and
TCNJ FORCINA HALL - HVAC AND ROOF REPLACEMENT dlb # 47210
ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION January 15, 2018
SUBMITTALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS 013000-11
certified, and accompanied by a proposal for a reduction in
the Contract Sum.
G. Contractor's request for substitution will be received and
considered when extensive revisions to Contract Documents
are not required and changes are in keeping with general
intent of Contract Documents; when timely, fully documented
and properly submitted; and when one or more of following
conditions is satisfied, all as judged by Engineer.
Otherwise, requests will be returned without action except
to record noncompliance with these requirements.
1. Where request is directly related to an "equivalent"
clause or other language of same effect in Contract
Documents.
2. Where required product, material or method cannot be
provided within Contract Time, but not as a result of
Contractor's failure to pursue the work promptly or
coordinate various activities properly.
3. Where required product, material or method cannot be
provided in a manner which is compatible with other
materials of the work, or cannot be properly
coordinated therewith, or cannot be warranted
(guaranteed) as required, or cannot be used without
adversely affecting Owner's insurance coverage on
completed work, or will encounter other substantial
noncompliances which are not possible to otherwise
overcome except by making requested substitution, which
Contractor thereby certifies to overcome such
incompatibility, uncoordination, nonwarranty,
noninsurability or other noncompliance as claimed.
4. Where substantial advantage is offered Owner, in terms
of cost, time or other valuable considerations, after
deducting offsetting responsibilities Owner may be
required to bear, including additional compensation to
Engineer for redesign and evaluation services,
increased cost of other work by Owner or separate
Contractors, and similar considerations.
H. Contractor's submittal of, and Engineer's acceptance of,
shop drawings, product data or samples which indicate work
not complying with requirements of Contract Documents, does
not constitute an acceptable and valid request for, nor
approval of, a substitution.

shall be disposed of as contaminated waste.
N. After completion of the cleaning operation, the Contractor
shall:
1. Notify the Owner's Testing Firm that a post removal
inspection can be performed to insure all visible
asbestos has been removed and the area is dust free. The
Owner's Testing Firm will conduct an aggressive visual
inspection of all Work Areas. In addition to a visual
inspection conducted at the floor level, the Testing Firm
shall inspect all exposed surfaced in the work areas,
including those at the ceiling level (using ladders as
necessary), to ensure that no visible asbestos containing
materials have been left above the ceiling, structural
members or other surfaces. All visible residues must be
removed before air monitoring can be performed.

The Owner's Testing Firm will then conduct overall work
area clearance testing under simulated conditions of
normal building occupancy known as aggressive sampling as
indicated in the Owner's Project Monitoring
Specifications. Fans with a minimum radius of 1' shall
be used in each room to be monitored to stir up any
residual invisible fibers such as would be entrained in
the air by the pedestrian traffic under conditions of
normal occupancy. Forced air equipment, such as a 1
horsepower leaf blower, will be used to suspend
particulate which may be clinging to walls, ceilings,
floors, ledges and other surfaces. Asbestos fiber
concentrations shall not exceed 70 structures/mm2.
3. Air monitoring results shall meet the following:
a. The concentration shall not exceed 70
structures/mm2.
NOTE: This test is required before critical barrier
removal and reconstruction activities may begin. It
shall be sufficient for final air quality monitoring for
building occupancy.
b. If test results show asbestos fiber concentrations
to be greater than 70 structures/mm2, the cleanup
shall be repeated until compliance is achieved. Re-
clean all surfaces and operate the HEPA equipped
Negative Air Filtration Units to exhaust air outside
the Work Area to filter the air.
