1.2.3. Plans and Specifications
The Project shall be performed in accordance with the requirements
of the Plans and Specifications, subject to modifications as provided
in Article 1.8.4., Change of Plans. The Plans and Specifications are
intended to complement and supplement each other. Any work required by
either of them and not by the other shall be performed as if denoted
both ways. Should any work be required which is not denoted in the
Specifications or on the Plans because of an obvious omission, but
which is nevertheless necessary for the proper performance of the
Project, such work shall be performed as fully as if it were described
and delineated. Should any conflicts occur between Plans and
Specifications, Specifications shall govern.
Before submitting his/her Proposal, it shall be the Bidder's res-
ponsibility to determine that he/she has received a completed set of
Plans and Specifications. If any person contemplating submitting a bid
for the Project is in doubt as to the true meaning of the Plans,
Specifications or other documents, he/she may submit, to the Owner's
Engineer, a written request for an interpretation thereof. The persons
submitting the request will be responsible for its delivery. Any

Addendum shall be binding. Prospective Bidders are advised that no
other source is authorized to give information concerning the documents
or to explain or interpret the documents.
All Bidders will acknowledge in the space provided for in the
Proposal, the receipt of all Addenda and will confirm that the Addenda
have been considered in the preparations of their proposal.
Completeness of Work - The Contract documents, of which the Plans
and Specifications form an essential part, are intended to cover the
complete and proper execution of the Project. Details, parts and
appurtenant work required to carry out their scope, even though not
delineated, described, mentioned or indicated, shall be furnished the
same as if they were specifically shown or mentioned. This applies to
the prices bid which shall be deemed to include such details, parts and
appurtenant work.
The Plans with all notes thereon and the Specifications are
intended to be corrective and of equal force and effect, and the
Engineer will interpret their meaning should there be any apparent
discrepancy. Figures shall be used in reading dimensions indicated and
no scaled dimensions shall be used. Therefore, the Engineer shall
have the right to make such interpretations as he/she may deem
necessary for the proper completeness and objective purposes of the
Plans and Specifications.
Errors and Discrepancies - If, in the progress of the work, the
Contractor discovers any error or omissions in the Plans or
Specifications, or in the work, he/she shall immediately notify the
Engineer and Owner, and the Engineer shall promptly verify the same.
If, with the knowledge of any such error or omission and prior to the
correction thereof, the Contractor proceeds with any work affected
thereby, he/she shall do so at his/her own risk and the work so done
shall not be considered as work done under and in performance of this
Contract unless and until approved and accepted.
1.2.4. Proposal
Proposals shall be submitted on the Form of Proposal as furnished,
and shall be properly filled out and duly executed. The Bidder shall
state in the Form of Proposal, in figures, the price per unit of
measure for each scheduled item of work for which he/she will agree to
carry out the work, the products of the respective estimated quantities
and the Unit Prices bid therefore, and the Total Price for the
performance of the Project obtained by adding the amount of the several
1.2.4. Proposal (Con't)
items. All figures shall be typewritten or printed clearly in ink.
For the purpose of comparison of bids received, the Total Price, as
correctly determined from the estimated quantities listed in the
Proposal and the Prices per Unit of Measure bid respectively therefore,
will be considered to be the amount bid for the Project, and award will
be made on the correct Total Price.
^ When the Proposal is made by an individual, his/her post office
address shall be stated, and he%she shall sign the Proposal; when made
by a firm or partnership, its name and post office address shall be
stated, and the Proposal shall be signed by one or more of the
^ partners; when made by a corporation, its name and principal post
office address shall be stated, with corporate seal affixed and
signatures notarized in all cases. Before award is made to a Bidder
not a resident of the State of Florida, such Bidder shall appoint and
name, with address, a proper agent in the State of Florida on whom
service can be made in event of litigation.
Should the lump sum price bid for the item "Mobilization" exceed
the maximum permissible amount for this item, as specified elsewhere
herein, the bid price will be reduced to the maximum permissible
amount, and the reduced price will be used in correctly determining the
total price for comparison of bids received.
1.2.5. Estimate of Quantities
The quantities shown on the Schedule of Quantities are not
guaranteed correct, but are approximations only, being shown for the
purpose of comparing bids received. The Engineer or Owner does not
assume any responsibility that the quantities shall materialize
strictly in accordance with provisions of the Contract Documents in
construction of the work, nor shall the Bidder or Contractor plead
misunderstanding or deception because of such estimate of quantities of
the character of the work, location or other conditions pertaining
thereto. The Engineer or Owner reserves the right to increase or
decrease any or all of the above mentioned quantities of work, or to
omit any of them as it may deem necessary, and such increase or
decrease of the quantities given for any of the bid items shall not be
considered as sufficient grounds for granting an increase in the unit
prices bid except as set forth in Section 1.8.4., Change of Plans.
1.2.6. Proposal Guaranties
No Proposal will be accepted unless the Bidder shall furnish one
hundred (100X) percent security for the proper execution of the
Contract.

1.2.9. Causes for Rejection
Proposals from Bidders not qualified to bid, according to the
provisions of Articles 1.2.2., 1.2.6., and 1.2.7., will be rejected.
If the Bid Prices for the several items of the work are
unbalanced, the Owner shall have the right, in its own best interests,
to consider the Proposal irregular and accordingly reject the same.
The Owner may reject any or all bids not in accord with the Adver-
tisement of Bids, or for any other irregularities, or may reject any or
all bids if the price for work or materials is excessively above the
estimated cost, or for any other cause.
Proposals which are deemed by the Owner to be incomplete,
conditional, or obscure, or which contain additions not called for,
erasures, alterations, or irregularities of any kind, may be rejected.
The Owner reserves the right to waive any informalities in the
bids received, to award the Contract only to a Bidder experienced in
® this class of work, whose Proposal is deemed by the Owner to be moat
advantageous to the Owner's interests, and to reject any or all bids
for any reason whatsoever. The provisions of the Specifications are
made for the benefit of the Owner and no right shall be deemed to
accrue to any person making a Proposal by reason of the submission of
any Proposal hereunder or by the waiver or nonenforcement of any
provisions or requirements of the Specifications.
Proposals may be rejected if received from Bidders who have
performed work previously for the Owner in an unsatisfactory manner,
and if the Engineer, in his/her sole discretion, deems it advisable to
do so in the interest of the Owner.
1.2.10. Laws and Other Requirements
Attention is called to Articles 1.6.3., 1.6.4. and 1.6.5.,
relating to Observance of Laws, Federal Aid, and Permits and Licenses,
and to Articles 1.4.7., 1.4.8. and 1.4.9., relating to Materials and
Equipment, Superintendence and Workers, and Construction Equipment.
1.2.11. Familiaritv with Work
It is the obligation of the Bidder to ascertain for himself/her-
self all the facts concerning conditions to be found at the location of
^ the Project, including, but not limited to, means of access and all
physical characteristics above, on and below the surface of the ground,
to fully examine the Plans and read the Specifications, to consider
fully these and all other matters which can in any way affect the work
under the Contract and to make the necessary investigations relating
thereto, and he/she agrees to this obligation in the signing of the
Contract. The Engineer or Owner assumes no responsibility whatsoever
with respect to ascertaining for the Contractor such facts concerning
physical characteristics at the site of the Project. The Contractor
agrees that he/she will make no claim for additional payment or
extension of time for completion of the work or any other concession
because of a misinterpretation or misunderstanding of the Contract, on
his/her part, or of any failure to fully acquaint himself/herself with
all conditions familiar with the work as described above. There is no
^ existence, on the part of the Owner, of any obligation or
responsibility to make any adjustments as referenced above. It is the
responsibility of the Contractor to consider the potential for
subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site when preparing
his/her bid.
^ The Bidder shall have satisfied himself/herself that he/she can
secure the necessary labor and equipment; that the materials and
equipment he/she proposes to use will comply with the requirements
therefore and can be obtained by him/her in the quantities and at the
time required; that he/she can secure the required insurance with
special endorsements, and the Contract Bond; and that he/she can
otherwise comply with the requirements of the Contract.
1.2.12. Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface information may have been obtained for the Project for
engineering design purposes. This information may also have been used
in the preparation of estimates of quantities for bidding purposes.
^ However, it is the obligation of the Bidder to make his/her own
investigations of subsurface conditions prior to submitting his/her
Proposal. The Bidder should review all available subsurface
information, including, but not limited to, boring logs, core recovery,
test results and soil reports. The Bidder's review should be in great
1.2.12. Subsurface Conditions (Con't)
detail through qualified and experienced representatives, and the
Bidder, if not satisfied with the extent of available information,
should, at his/her own expense, make an independent investigation,
— which may include additional borings, as deemed necessary by the
Bidder. If additional time is required for such investigations, he/she
should notify the Engineer and request an extension of the bidding
date, but the Engineer shall nqt be obligated to grant the additional
time requested.
The determination of subsurface materials and conditions to be
encountered is a matter of judgment and opinion based on the
interpretation of information available. Information available to the
Engineer or Owner will be made available to the Bidder upon request.
Subsurface information obtained by the Engineer or Owner, made
available to the Bidders, is not guaranteed by the Engineer or Owner in
any respect. The information is made available to Bidders, who shall
make their own independent determination as to what value to assign to
this information. The information is presented in good faith, but is
not intended as a substitute for personal investigations, inter-
pretations or judgment of the Bidder. Except as may be otherwise
provided in the Contract documents, the risk of encountering unexpected
subsurface conditions shall be borne by the Contractor.
Any estimate or estimates of quantities shown on the Plans or in
the form of proposal, based on any available boring logs, core
recovery, test results, soil reports or any other subsurface
— investigations, are in no way warranted to indicate the true
quantities. The Contractor agreees that he/she will make no claim
against the Engineer or Owner, if the actual quantity or quantities do
not conform to the estimated quantity or quantities, except in
accordance with the provisions of Article 1.8.4.
1.2.13. Differing Site Conditions
The Contractor shall promptly, and before such conditions are
disturbed, notify the Engineer in writing of : (1) subsurface or latent
physical conditions at the site differing materially from those
indicated in this Contract, or (2) unknown physical conditions at the
site, of an unusual nature, differing materially from those originally
encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the
character provided for in this Contract. The Engineer shall promptly
investigate the conditions, and if he/she finds that such conditions do
materially so differ and cause an increase or decrease in the
Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part
of the work under this Contract, whether or not changed as a result of
such conditions, equitable adjustment shall be recommended to the Owner
and if approved, the Contract modified in writing accordingly.
1.2.13. Differing Site Conditions (Con't)
No claim of the Contractor under this clause shall be allowed

the Contract Documents shall be considered as defective work.
Any defective work, whether the result of poor workmanship, use of
defective materials, damage through carelessness or any other cause,
found to exist prior to acceptance of final payment for work, shall be
removed immediately and replaced by work and materials which shall
conform to the Specifications or shall be remedied otherwise in an
acceptable manner as authorized by the Engineer. This clause shall
have the full effect regardless of the fact that the defective work may
have been done or the defective materials used with the full knowledge
of the Inspector. The fact that the Inspector in charge may have
previously overlooked such defective work may have been done or the
defective work shall not constitute an acceptance of any part of it.
Any work which may be done by the Contractor prior to approval of
Contract, work done contrary to or regardless of the instructions of
the Engineer, work done beyond the lines shown on the Plans, or as
given, except as herein specified, or any extra work done without

extension of time is due him for work required to be performed or
materials required to be furnished which, in the opinion, cannot be
classified under the scheduled items of work and which have not been
^ covered by a Change Order as hereinafter specified in Article 1.8.4.,
and it is his intention to make claim therefor, he shall notify the
Engineer in writing of such intention before he begins the work or
furnished the opportunity to modify the design or construction
procedure, or both, before the Contractor begins the work or furnishes
the materials in question, and the opportunity and proper facilities
for keeping account of the actual cost of such work and materials after
the work begins. If such notice is not given in writing, or if the
Engineer is not afforded such opportunity and facilities, then the
Contractor shall and hereby does agree to waive the claim for such
additional compensation or extension of time or both. However, if the
Contractor has complied with the foregoing provisions, this
circumstance in no way shall be passed on by the Engineer and/or Owner
and, if he finds it to be justifiable under the provisions of the
Contract, the work or materials in question will be paid for under an
appropriate Change Order. Attention is directed to the provisions of

acceptance of the Project and payment therefor, if such measurement,
estimate or certificate is found to be in error or untrue, from showing
the true amount and character of the work performed and materials
furnished by the Contractor, or from showing that any such measurement,
estimate or certificate is incorrectly made or untrue, or that the work
or materials do not conform in fact to the requirements of the
Contract. The Owner shall not be precluded or estopped,
notwithstanding any such measurement, estimate or certificate, and
payment made in accordance therewith, from recovering from the
Contractor and his Surety such damages as it may sustain by reason of
the Contractor's failure to comply or to have complied with the terms
of the Contract.
Neither the acceptance of the whole or any part of the Project by
the Engineer or by any representative of the Engineer, nor any payment
made for the work, nor any extension of time granted by Contractor, nor
any possession taken by the Owner, shall operate as a waiver of any
portion of the Contract or of any power herein reserved, or of any
right to damage therein provided. A waiver of any breach of the
Contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent
breach.

The Contractor shall commence work within ten (10) calendar days
after the date of mailing the fully executed Contract and the receipt
of the Notice to Proceed and shall continue without interruption until
the work is completed, except as provided in Article 1.7.3. The
sequence of work shall conform to the progress schedule submitted in
accordance with Article 1.3.2., provided, however, that said schedule
may be modified from time to time as directed or approved by the
Engineer. The Contractor shall give the Engineer not less than seven
(7) calendar days notice of the time and place or places he/she will
start the work.
The Contractor shall send notices to the proper Municipal
Officials in which the Project is located. The notices shall be sent
out before work on the Project is begun. The notices shall be published
at least twice in at least two newspapers published in the County. One
^ such newspaper must be of a daily nature. Such publication shall be
made before the work on the Project is begun.
The costs incurred in performing the aforementioned notifications
shall be borne by the Contractor in their entirety, and shall be
assumed to have been included in the bid submitted. No separate payment
shall be made for this item.
The progress schedule to be submitted by the Contractor, in
accordance with Article 1.3.2., shall clearly outline the various
stages and operations by which he/she proposes to complete the entire
Project, including the maintenance and protection of traffic as
specified in Article 1.4.3.
Construction operations shall not begin until the above schedule
has been approved by the Engineer, and the Contractor shall not deviate
from the proposed schedule without the expressed permission of the
^ Engineer.
The Contractor shall arrange and conduct the work using such
procedures and stages as may be necessary to comply with the provisions
of Articles 1.4.2., 1.4.3., 1.6.11., 1.7.1., 1.7.2. 6 provisions of any
other Articles which may be dependent upon the procedures and stages of
his/her work.
No work which closes or alters the use of existing roadways shall
be undertaken until adequate provisions, conforming to the requirements
of Article 1.4.3., have been made by the Contractor and approved by the
Engineer.
1.7.1. Commencement and Procedure (Cont'd)
The Contractor shall arrange and prosecute his/her work so that
each successive construction operation at each location shall follow
the preceding operation as closely as the requirements of the various
types of construction will permit, and the combined successive
operations shall be limited to a minimum practical length of time, as
approved by the Engineer.
The work under this Project shall be carried out in accordance
with logical stage construction and in accordance with the provisions
of Article 1.4.3. However, two or more construction operations may
.. proceed simultaneously subject to the approval of the Engineer.
As directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall develop and
_ submit a detailed plan of stage construction and maintenance and
protection of traffic for written approval by the Engineer, which
incorporates the requirements of the Owner and is based on approved
construction methods and procedures.
The Engineer may revise stage construction and maintenance and
protection of traffic, if deemed necessary, due to unforeseen
circumstances which may arise during construction. Revisions so made
shall not be considered reason for any claim for extra payment or
extension of time by the Contractor.
Completed or partly completed sections of the Project to be opened
to traffic prior to acceptance of the Project, due to the various
stages of construction are, subject to the approval of the Engineer and
.� the provisions of Articles 1.4.3. and 1.6.6.
When possible, the construction of subsurface structures within or
_ immediately adjacent to roadway limits shall be performed while traffic
is being diverted from such areas. If traffic must be maintained in
such areas, the work shall be done expeditiously in stages, as approved
by the Engineer, and with minimum interference with traffic.
Subsurface structure excavation within and immediately adjacent to
roadways available to traffic shall not remain open overnight.
Operations adjacent to roadways on which traffic is being
maintained shall be confined to only one side of the roadway at any one
time.
When the Contractor's excavating operations encounter prehistoric
remains or artifacts of historical or archeological significance, the
.� operations shall be temporarily discontinued in that area. The
Engineer will consult archeological authorities and determine the
disposition of the remains or artifacts. The Contractor agrees that
he/she will make no claim for additional payment or for extension of
time because of any delays in or alteration of his/her procedure due to
removal of any such remains or artifacts.

No separate payment will be made for lighting work areas as
^' specified above, but all costs thereof shall be included in the unit
prices for the various scheduled items in the Proposal.
The Contractor shall schedule and conduct the work exercising such
precautions as necessary to prevent or reasonably minimize the
pollution or contamination of streams, canals and other waters with
sediment, chemicals, fuels, lubricants, bitumens, raw sewerage and
other harmful materials. Wherever construction exposes work which is
subject to erosion, the extent of such exposure in advance of
subsequent construction shall be subject to the approval of the
r� Engineer. Erosion control features or other work to be completed within
such areas shall follow as soon after exposure as practicable and shall
comply with all local, state or federal requirements regarding same.
Construction of drainage facilities as well as performance of
other Contract work which will contribute to the control of siltation
or erosion shall be carried out in conjunction with earthwork
operations, including all borrow pit operations, or as soon thereafter
as is practicable.
During construction, the Contractor shall shape the top of
earthwork so as to effect the drainage of rainwater and to prevent the
flow of runoff over the slopes except at locations selected or approved
by the Engineer. If and where the Engineer so directs, temporary slope
drains shall be constructed to carry the runoff. Payment for temporary
drains ordered by the Engineer will be included in the various items
scheduled in the Proposal, or lump sum bid.
The erosion control measures described herein shall be continued
until the permanent drainage facilities have been constructed and/or
until the grass on seeded slopes is sufficiently established to be an
effective erosion deterrent.
Unless otherwise approved in writing by Engineer, construction
operations in rivers, streams and impoundments shall be restricted to
those areas where channel changes are shown on the Plans and to those
areas which must be entered for the construction of temporary or
permanent structures. Rivers, streams and impoundments shall be
promptly cleared of all falsework, piling, debris or other obstructions
placed therein or caused by the construction operations.
Excavation from the roadway, channel changes, cofferdams, etc.,
shall not be deposited in or so near to rivers, streams, canals or
impoundments that it will be washed away by high water or runoff.
1.7.1. Commencement and Procedure (Cont'd)
Frequent fording of live streams with construction equipment will
not be permitted. Therefore, temporary bridges or other structures
shall be used whenever an appreciable number of stream crossings are
necessary. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer,
mechanized equipment shall not be operated in live streams except as
may be required to construct channel changes and temporary or permanent
structures.
In the execution of any work within or adjacent to any State or
National Park, forest or other public or private lands, the Contractor
shall comply with all of the appropriate authorities having
jurisdiction over such forest, park or lands. He/she shall keep the
areas embraced in his/her construction companies in an orderly

defined in Article 1.1.3., will be counted starting ten (10) calendar
days after the date of mailing the fully executed Contract to the
Contractor or as stated in the Notice to Proceed; and when specified in
terms of calendar days or months or specific dates, the actual number
of working days will not be considered, but the Contractor shall
arrange his/her working force and equipment so as to ensure completion
within the specified time.
1.7.3. Suspension of Work
If the Engineer deems it in the best interest of the Owner, he may
notify the Contractor in writing to suspend work on all or any part of
the Project, and the Contractor shall do no work where so suspended
until he has received written notice from the Engineer to resume work.
When work is suspended as above provided, payment for the completed
parts of the work will be made provided in Article 1.8.5., and a
suitable extension of time for completing the suspended work will be
granted. No other compensation or allowance will be made on account of
such suspension unless it shall be for more than ten (10) calendar
days. Should the suspension be for more than ten (10) calendar days
and should the Contractor be put to additional expense on account
thereof, he shall have the right to file with the Engineer a statement
showing the character and amount of such additional expense and, if the
Engineer deems it a proper charge, the Contractor will be reimbursed
therefor. However, he shall have no expense claims for said first ten

1.7.3. Suspension of Work (Cont')
^ (10) calendar days of suspension, and any claim for allowance as above
provided shall be filed, in writing, with the Engineer before the
expiration of the first ten (10) calendar days of suspension. No
payments will be made for work done by the Contractor on suspended
work. If the suspension extends for one (1) year and the value of the
suspended work, based on bid prices and estimated quantities, exceeds
25 percent of the total price bid, the Owner will, at the Contractor's
^ requesi, annul the Contract as provided in Article 1.7.5. When said
value is 25 percent or less, and the suspension extends for one (1)
year, the Owner will, at the Contractor's request, by Change Order as
.. provided in Article 1.8.4., omit the suspended work from the Contract.
1.7.4. Unavoidable Delays
If for any reason beyond the control of the Contractor other than
as provided for in Article 1.7.3., the work be delayed, the Contractor

.. construction be stopped directly or indirectly, by a national or state
agency, he/she may annul the Contract on thirty (30) calendar days
written notice to the Contractor and, if the Contractor be not in
default, payments will be made as provided in Article 1.8.5., for all
^ work done under the terms and conditions of the Contract, except that
payments will be made in such amounts as the Engineer may consider just
and proper for such parts of the work that are not fully completed and,
.+ for that reason, not susceptible of classification under the bid
prices, and for expenditures in connection with the preparing for and
moving equipment to and from the work for which the Contractor is not
^ otherwise compensated. It is understood and agreed, however, that no
payments shall be made for any claim for loss of anticipated profits.
Attention is directed to the provisions cited herein under Article
1.6.3., whereby, for violation of the Contractor's warranty concerning
solicitation of the Contract by others under an agreement or
understanding for compensation of the Owner shall have the right to
annul the Contract without liability or, at the Owner's discretion, to
deduct from the contract price or consideration the full amount of such
compensation.

progress, or the Contractor is willfully violating any of the covenants
of the Contract, or is carrying out the Contract in bad faith, then the
Engineer may so certify in writing to the Owner, and the Owner may
declare the Contractor in default of the Contract and notify him to
discontinue the Project. The Owner may then call on the Surety to
complete the Project or may complete it by other means, as he may
elect. He may take over any working site procured the Contractor and
may use materials and equipment at the site of the Project and other
equipment used elsewhere for the Project at the time of default, and
may procure other materials, equipment and all else necessary for the
completion of the Project. The Owner shall recover the cost of
finishing the work of the original Contract, over and above the cost
thereof at the original bid prices, by deducting the amount thereof
from any monies due or which may become due the Contractor under the
Contract, and when such monies are insufficient to pay said cost, the
. amount of said cost in excess of such monies shall be paid by the
Contractor or the Surety.
1.7.7. Liquidated Damages
If the Contractor fails to complete the Project and each and every
part and appurtenance thereof fully, entirely'and in conformity with
the provisions of the Contract, within the time stated in the Contract,

M calendar days in default.
The Owner shall recover said damages by deducting the amount
thereof from any monies due or that may be due the Contractor and if
said monies are insufficient to cover said damages, then the Contractor
or his/her Surety shall pay the amount due.
1.7.8. Extension of Time
Extension of the time stipulated in the Contract for completion of
the Project will be made if and as the Engineer may deem proper, when
work under a Change Order as hereinafter provided is added to the total
work of the Contract; when the work is suspended as provided in Article
1.7.3., and when the work of the Contractor is delayed on account of
conditions, other than daily weather conditions, which in the opinion
of the Engineer warrant such extension; provided however, that no
extension on account of delay will be granted unless notice of such
delay, and of the Contractor's intention to claim an extension of time,
be given the Engineer, in writing, within five (S) calendar days after
the beginning of such delay, and said notice shall give complete
information of the nature, cause and probable extent of the delay.
Extensions of time shall be binding only when issued in writing.

^ if any, that will be added or deducted from the time for completion
stipulated in the Contract on account of the added or decreased work
covered by the order. The Contractor shall do no work and furnish no
,. materials, except as shown on the Plans, until he has received a copy
of said Change Order duly approved and executed. If the Contractor
refuses to accept said Change Order, he may be declared in default as
provided in Article 1.7.6.
It is further understood and agreed that the Owner and the
Contractor may enter into supplementary agreements, executed on Change
.� Order forms, for the Contractor to furnish materials or perform work of
a type not susceptible of cl&ssification under any of the items
scheduled in the Proposal. The Change Order shall state the type and
.. character of such work to be performed or materials to be furnished
under the supplementary agreement and the amount to be paid therefor,
and the number of days, if any, that will be added to or deducted from
the time for completion stipulated in the Contract on account thereof.
The work and materials covered by the supplementary agreements shall
conform to the requirements therefor of the Specifications provided for
the supplemental work. The amount to be paid the Contractor for
^ performing the work or furnishing the materials covered by the
supplementary agreements, may be determined at the discretion of the
Engineer on a lump sum or unit price basis, or on the basis of actual
cost to which a percentage of the actual cost or a fixed sum is added.
If the Contractor fails to execute the Change Order for the
supplementary agreememt, the Owner may have the materials furnished or
the work performed by others, and the Contractor shall not interfere
therewith. If any acceptable materials may have been furnished, which

1.8.5. Payments
Payments will be made for the actual quantity of authorized work
^ done under each item scheduled in the Proposal at the unit price bid
therefore, except as otherwise provided in Article 1.8.4., and under
supplementary agreements, if any, at the price or prices stipulated
^ therein.
I.B.S. Payments (Cont'd)
Monthly certificates will be made of the approximate quantities of
work done during the preceding month and payments on account therefore
will be based on the prices bid in the Proposal and/or sitpulated in
^ supplementary agreements, if any, except that ten (10%) percent of the
amount due on such partial payments, will be withheld from the
Contractor pending completion of the Contract of Agreement. The
monthly certificates and payments on account will also include fifty
^ (50%) percent of the value of materials and equipment, based on
receipted bills or other satisfactory evidence, furnished but not
incorporated in the work as determined by the Engineer, provided that:
^ 1) such materials have been delivered at or near the site of the work;
2) are properly stored and prdtected and have been inspected and
approved; and' 3) that the Contractor has furnished the Engineer with
satisfactory releases of lien for said materials; and provided further;
that if claims have been filed with the Owner or Engineer against the
Contractor, sufficient money may be withheld to satisfy such claims
until they have been satisfied, all in accordance with certified
material costs provided to the Engineer by the Contractor.
When the project is completed and accepted by the Owner, a final
.. certificate of cost of the Project will be made by the Engineer, based
on the actual quantities of authorized work done under each item
scheduled in the Proposal and under supplementary agreements, if any,
at the unit price or prices stipulated therein. When this final
^ certificate is approved, the money due the Contractor for the
performance of the Project, as determined by said final certificate,
after deduction of previous payments on account, will be paid the
^ Contractor, provided, however, that before such final payment is made,
the following requirements shall be satisfied: a) there shall be no
outstanding claims against the Contractor filed with the Owner, b) the
^ Contractor shall have paid all due obligations and shall have
furnished, when directed by the Engineer, receipted bills or other

final certificate may be made at the discretion of the Engineer. This
certificate will show the cost of the work completed and the estimated
cost to complete the work, based on the unit prices bid and the
quantities scheduled in the Proposal as amended by Change Orders, if
any, except that for such parts of the work and for that reason are not
appropriate for estimate as above provided, the estimated cost to
complete will be determined by the Engineer. When the semifinal
certificate is approved, payment will be made to the Contractor in the
sum of the cost of the work completed after deduction of previous
^ monthly payments on account and deduction of twenty-five (25%)
^
I.S.S. Payments (Con't)
^ percent of the estimated cost to complete the work determined as
described above, provided, however, that before said payment is made,
the following requirements shall be satisfied: a) there shall be no
outstanding claims against the Contractor filed with the Owner; b) when
^ directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall have furnished receipted
bills or other satisfactory evidence that all obligations incurred by
him and his subcontractors in carrying out the work have been
^ satisfied; and c) the Contractor shall have delivered a bond as
hereinafter specified in Article 1.8.7.
Before a semifinal payment will be made, the Contractor shall
execute and deliver a release substantially in the following form:
"In consideration of the above payment, (I)(We) hereby release the
^ Owner, Engineer, and their agents from all claims and liability of
whatsoever nature for anything done or furnished or in any manner
growing out of the performance of the Project, except that it is
understood that credit will be given in the final certificate for
the amount, covering twenty-five (25%) percent of the estimated

transit. No shipment of material should be accepted by the Contractor
unless proper exceptions are made on the receipt obtained by the
carrier at the time of delivery, as to loss and/or damage.
The Contractor shall be responsible for all material furnished by
him/her. All such material which is defective in manufacture or has
been damaged in transit or has been damaged after delivery, shall be
replaced by the Contractor at his/her expense.
All material found during the progress of the work to have cracks,
flaws or other defects will be rejected by the Engineer or his/her
authorized inspector, and the Contractor shall promptly remove such
defective material from the site of the work.
— The Contractor shall be responsible for the safe storage of all
material furnished to or by him/her until it has been incorporated in
the complete project.
The locations of the existing pipes and structures shown on the
plans are approximate, and before construction, the Contractor shall
determine the exact locations of all existing pipes and structures to
— which connections are to be made.
The Contractor shall submit to the Owner, an as -built location
— plan of the mains and laterals. The plans shall show the stationing
and dimensions of the above items and reference to above ground
objects. He/she shall include inverts and rim elevations of all

effort shall be made to keep lines clean during installation. Thorough
flushing may be required prior to a pressure test; flushing should be
accomplished by partially opening and closing valves and hydrants
several times under expected line pressure with flow velocities
adequate to flush foreign material out of the valves and hydrants.
Hydrostatic Testing
Pressure Test
After the pipe has been laid, all
section thereof shall be subjected to
least (1.5) times the working pressure
psi).
Test Pressure Restrictions
newly laid pipe or any valved
a hydrostatic pressure of at
at the point of testing (150
Test pressures shall not be less than 1.25 times the working
pressure at the highest point along the test section nor shall the
pressure exceed pipe or thrust -restraint design pressures. The test(s)
shall be of at least two (2) hour duration and not vary by more than
+- 5 psi for the duration of the test.
2.2.15. Potable Water Main
Test Pressure Restrictions (Cont'd)
Test pressures shall not excees twice the rated pressure of the
valves or hydrants when the pressure boundary of the test section
includes closed gate valves or hydrants. Valves shall not be operated
in either direction at differential pressure exceeding the rated
pressure. Nor shall the test gxceed the rated pressure of the valves
when the pressure boundary of the test section includes closed,
resilient -seated gate valves.
Pressurization
Each valved section of pipe shall be filled with water slowly and
the specified test pressure, based on the elevation of the lowest point
of the line or section under test and corrected to the elevation of the
test guage, shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe
in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Valves shall not be operated
in either the opening or closing direction at differential pressures
above the rated pressure. The test section shall be allowed to
stabilize at the test pressure before conducting the leakage test.
Air Removal
— Before applying the specified test pressure, air shall be expelled
completely from the pipe, valves and hydrants. If permanent air vents
are not located at all high points, the Contractor shall install
corporation cocks at such points so that the air can be expelled as the
line is filled with water. After all the air has been expelled, the
corporation cocks shall be closed and the test pressure applied. At
the conclusion of the pressure test, the corporation cocks shall be
— removed and plugged or left in place at the discretion of the Engineer.
Examination
Any exposed pipe, fitting, valves, hydrants and joints shall be
examined carefully during the test. Any damage or defective pipe,
fittings, valves or hydrants that are discovered following the pressure
test shall be repaired or replaced with sound material, and the test
shall be repeated until it is satisfactory to the Engineer.
Leakage Test
Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be
supplied into the newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, to
maintain pressure within (5) psi of the specified test pressure after
the air in the pipeline has been expelled and the pipe has been filled
with water. Leakage shall not be measured by a drop in pressure in a
test section over a period of time.
2.2.15. Potable Water Main
_ Allowable Leakage
No pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage is greater
than that determined by Indian River County Utilities Department's
^ Specifications. When hydrants are in the test section, the test shall
be made against the closed hydrant.
Acceptance of Installation
Acceptance shall be determined on the basis of allowable leakage.
If any test of pipe laid discloses leakage greater than that specified,
^ the Contractor shall, at his own expense, locate and make repairs as
necessary until the leakage is within the specified allowance. All
visible leaks are to be repaired regardless of the amount of leakage. ,
Disinfection
_ All newly installed water main shall be disinfected in accordance
with ANSI/AWWA C601. Following chlorination, the main should be
flushed as soon as possible (within 24 hours) since prolonged exposure
to high concentrations of chlorine might damage the asphaltic seal
^ coat.
Before being placed in service, and before certification of
completion by the Engineer, all new water systems, or extensions to
existing systems or valved section of such extension, or any exposed
section of the existing system, shall be disinfected according to the
AWWA Standard C-106 and Indian River County Specifications. All new
^ water mains shall be completely sterilized with chlorine using liquid
chlorine and a suitable chlorinator. The chlorine shall be introduced
and distributed into the new pipe lines by suitable and approved means
and in such manner that it shall reach all of the pipe and all
fittings, valves and appurtenances. Chlorine may be applied at the
beginning of the section adjacent to the feeder connection and shall be
^ injected through a corporation stop, hydrant or other connection
insuring treatment of the entire line. Sterilization may be done in
connection with pipe testing or independently as may appear more
practical. The manner and method of introduction of chlorine shall be
^ satisfactory to and must be approved by the governing water authority.
Sterilizing dosage shall be sufficient to provide the equivalent of not
less than fifty (50) parts per million (ppm) of free chlorine to the
entire contents of the pipe line or section thereof to be sterilized,
and the chlorinated water shall be permitted to remain in the pipe line
for a contact period of not less than twenty-four (24) hours. During
the chlorinating procedure, all valves, hydrants, and appurtenances
^ that will come in contact with potable water shall be operated.
■.+
2.2.15. Potable Water Main
After sterilization, the water main or section shall be thoroughly
flushed and put into service. Any section of pipe line which is
drained or emptied of water at any time or for any purpose in
connection with this work, whether a newly laid pipe line or part of an
existing water main system, shall be sterilized as above specified
before being returned to service. The Contractor shall furnish the
sterilizing agent of the approved kind and in quantity sufficient to
comply with above requirements, together with any and all equipment,
labor and supervision necessary for effective accomplishment of
