purchasing process because they have been found guilty of a public entity crime. A public entity
crime is described by Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, as a violation of any State or Federal law
by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity
in Florida or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the United States,
including, but not limited to, any bid or Agreement for goods or services to be provided to any
public entity or with an agency or political subdivision and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery,
collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
By law no public entity shall accept any bid from, award any Agreement to, or transact any
business in excess of the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, for
category two (currently $10,000) with any person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list for a
period of 36 months from the date that person or affiliate was placed on the convicted vendor list
unless that person or affiliate has been removed from the list pursuant to Section 287.133(3)(f),
Florida Statutes.
Therefore, effective October 1, 1990, prior to entering into an Agreement (formal
Agreement or purchase order) in excess of the threshold amount of $10,000 to provide goods or
services to THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, a person shall file a sworn statement with the
Contract/Agreement officer or Purchasing Director, as applicable. The attached statement or
affidavit will be the form to be utilized and must be properly signed in the presence of a notary
public or other officer authorized to administer oaths and properly executed.
THE INCLUSION OF THE SWORN STATEMENT OR AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE
SUBMITTED CONCURRENTLY WITH YOUR QUOTE OR BID DOCUMENTS. NON-

Total DBE percent __________%
If the Bidder fails to meet the DBE subcontract goals established in paragraph 7 above, the following
information must be submitted prior to contract award to assist the Owner in determining whether or not
the Bidder made acceptable good faith efforts to meet the contract goal.
Suggested guidance for use in determining if good faith efforts were made by a Bidder is included in 49
CFR Part 26, Appendix A.
A list of the efforts that a Bidder may make and the Owner may use in making a determination as to the
acceptability of a Bidder's efforts to meet the goal as included in Appendix A are as follows:
A. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means e.g. attendance at pre-bid
meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all certified DBEs who have
the capability to perform the work of the contract. The bidder must solicit this interest
within sufficient time to allow the DBEs to respond to the solicitation. The bidder must
determine with certainty if the DBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to follow
up initial solicitations.
B. Selecting portions of the work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the
likelihood that the DBE goals will be achieved. This includes, where appropriate, breaking
out contract work items into economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation,
even when the prime contractor might otherwise prefer to perform these work items with
its own forces.
C. Providing interested DBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications,
and requirements of the contract in a timely manner to assist them in responding to a
solicitation.
D. (1) Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs. It is the bidder's responsibility to
make a portion of the work available to DBE subcontractors and suppliers and to select
those portions of the work or material needs consistent with the available DBE
subcontractors and suppliers, so as to facilitate DBE participation. Evidence of such
negotiation includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of DBEs that were
considered; a description of the information provided regarding the plans and specifications
for the work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to why additional agreements
could not be reached for DBEs to perform the work.
(2) A bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of factors in
negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE subcontractors, and would take a firm's
price and capabilities as well as contract goals into consideration. However, the fact that
there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using DBEs is not in itself
sufficient reason for a bidder's failure to meet the contract DBE goal, as long as such costs
are reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of a prime contractor to perform the work of a
contract with its own organization does not relieve the bidder of the responsibility to make
good faith efforts. Prime contractors are not, however, required to accept higher quotes
from DBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable.
Taxiway “C” 2-26 Bid Forms

E. Not rejecting DBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough
investigation of their capabilities. The contractor's standing within its industry,

for the rejection or non-solicitation of bids in the contractor's efforts to meet the project
goal.

insurance as required by the recipient or contractor.
G. Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies,

minority/women contractors' groups; local, state, and Federal minority/women business
assistance offices; and other organizations as allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide
assistance in the recruitment and placement of DBEs.
NOTE: The items set forth above are merely suggested criteria and the Owner may specify that you submit
additional information on certain other actions a Bidder took to secure DBE participation in an effort to
meet the goals. A Bidder may also submit to the Owner other information on efforts to meet the goals. This
information (when applicable), as well as the DBE information submitted as specified in Paragraph 9 above
should be included with the bidder’s proposal.
(10) Bidder ASSURANCE. The BIDDER hereby assures that he will meet one of the following as
appropriate (please check the appropriate space):
_____ The bidder/offeror is committed to a minimum of ____ % DBE utilization on this

4.8 QUALITY OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS
In order to establish standards of quality, the Specifications may refer to certain products by name
and catalog number. This procedure is not to be construed as eliminating from competition other
products of equal or better quality by other manufacturers where fully suitable in design.
The Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer a complete list of his proposed desired substitutions
prior to the signing of the Contract, together with such engineering and catalog data as the Engineer
may require. Further substitutions may be submitted during the course of work in accordance with
Paragraph 4.10 SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT AND/OR MATERIAL below.
The Contractor shall abide by the Engineer’s judgment when proposed substitution of materials or
items or equipment are judged to be unacceptable and shall furnish the specified material or item
of equipment in such case. All proposals for substitutions shall be submitted to the Engineer in
writing by the Contractor and not by individual trades or material suppliers. The Engineer will
advise of approval or disapproval of proposed substitutions in writing within a reasonable time.
No substitute materials shall be used unless approved by Engineer in writing.
4.9 EQUIPMENT APPROVAL DATA
The Contractor shall furnish one (1) copy of complete catalog data for every manufactured item
of equipment and all components to be used in the Work, including specific performance data,
material description, rating, capacity, material gauge or thickness, brand name, catalog number
and general type.
This submission shall be compiled by the Contractor and submitted to the Engineer for review and
written approval by the Engineer and City before any of the equipment is ordered.
Each data sheet or catalog in the submission shall be indexed according to specification section
and paragraph for easy reference.
After written approval is received by the Contractor, submission shall become a part of the
Contract and may not be deviated from except upon written approval of the Engineer and City.
Catalog data for equipment approved by the Engineer and City does not in any case supersede the
Contract Documents. The acceptance by the Engineer and City shall not relieve the Contractor
from responsibility for deviations from Plans or Specifications, unless he has called the Engineer’s
attention, in writing, to such deviations at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him from
responsibility for errors of any sort in the items submitted. The Contractor shall check the work
described by the catalog data with the Contract Documents for deviations and errors.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to insure that items to be furnished fit the space
available. He shall make necessary field measurements to ascertain space requirements, including
those for connections, and shall order such sizes and shapes of equipment that the field installation
shall suit the true intent and meaning of the Plans and Specifications.
Taxiway “C” 3-10 Construction Services Agreement
Sebastian Municipal Airport
Where equipment requiring different arrangement of connections from those shown is approved,
it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to install the equipment to operate properly, and in
harmony with the intent of the Plans and Specifications, and to make all changes in the Work
required by the different arrangement of connections at his own expense.
4.10 SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT AND/OR MATERIAL
After the execution of the Contract Agreement, the substitution of equipment and/or material for
that specified will be considered if:
(a) The equipment and/or materials proposed for substitution is determined by the
Engineer to be equal or superior to that specified in the Contract;
(b) Unless determined to be of superior quality, the equipment and/or material
proposed for substitution is less expensive than that specified and that such savings to the City, as
proposed by the Contractor, are submitted with the request for substitution. If the substitution is
approved, the Contract price shall be reduced accordingly; and
(c) The equipment and/or material proposed for substitution is readily available and its
delivery and use, if approved as a substitution, will not delay the scheduled start and completion
of the specified work for which it is intended or the scheduled completion of the entire work to be
completed under the contract.
No request will be considered unless submitted in writing to the Engineer and approval by the
Engineer and City must also be in writing. To receive consideration, requests for substitutions
must be accompanied by documentary proof of the actual difference in cost to the Contractor in
the form of quotations to the contractor covering the original equipment and/or material, and also
equipment and/or material proposed for substitution or other proof satisfactory to the Engineer. It
is the intention that the City shall receive the full benefit of the saving in cost involved in any
substitution unless the item is substituted for one designated in the Specifications by specific
manufacturer’s name and type, in which case one-third of the savings shall accrue to the benefit
of the Contractor.
In all cases, the burden of proving adequate proof that the equipment and/or material offered for
substitution is equal or superior in construction and/or efficiency to that named in the Contract
shall rest on the Contractor and the proof will be submitted to the Engineer. Request for
substitution of equipment and/or material which the Contractor cannot prove to the satisfaction of
the Engineer, at its sole discretion and judgment, to be equal or superior in construction and/or
efficiency to that named in the Contract will not be approved.
5.0 MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
5.1 MATERIALS FURNISHED BY THE CONTRACTOR

and type, and additional features of the item are specifically required by the specifications, the
additional features specified shall be provided whether or not they are normally included in the
standard manufacturer's item listed.
Taxiway “C” 3-11 Construction Services Agreement
Sebastian Municipal Airport

and type, and the specified item becomes obsolete and is no longer available, the Contractor shall
provide a substitute item of equal quality and performance which is acceptable to the Engineer and
City and is currently available, at no increase in Contract price.
5.2 STORAGE OF MATERIALS

before acceptance by the City of the Work and shall remove or uncover such portions of the
finished work as may be directed. After examination, the Contractor shall restore said portions of
the Work to the standard required by the Specifications. Should the work thus exposed or examined
prove acceptable, the uncovering or removing and the replacing of the covering or making good
of the parts removed shall be paid for as extra work, but should the work so exposed or examined
prove unacceptable, the uncovering, removing and replacing shall be at the Contractor's expense.

by the City, to secure the completion of the various portions of the Work in general harmony.
9.11 SEPARATE CONTRACTS
The City may let other contracts in connection with the Work of the Contractor. The Contractor

work. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to inspect all work by other contractors affecting

the City for the acts and omissions of his subcontractors and their direct or indirect employees, to
the same extent as he is responsible for the acts and omissions of his employees. The Contract
Documents shall not be construed as creating a contractual relation between any subcontractors
and the City. The Contractor shall bind every subcontractor by the terms of the Contract
Documents.
For convenience of reference and facilitate the letting of contracts and subcontracts, the
Specifications are separated into title sections. Such separations shall not, however, operate to
make the Engineer or City an arbiter to establish limits to the contracts between the Contractor and
subcontractors.
9.13 WORK DURING AN EMERGENCY
The Contractor shall perform any work and shall furnish and install materials and equipment
necessary during an emergency endangering life or property. In all cases, he shall notify the
Engineer and City of the emergency as soon as practicable, but he shall not wait for instructions

9.16 UNAUTHORIZED WORK
Work done without lines and grades having been established, work done without proper inspection,
or any changes made or extra work done without written authority will be done at the Contractor's
risk and will be considered unauthorized, and, at the option of the City, may not be measured and

The City shall have the right to use, occupy, or place into operation any portion of the Work that
has been completed sufficiently to permit safe use, occupancy, or operation, as determined by the

Contractor shall be entitled to extra compensation, or an extension of time, or both, as determined
by the Engineer. However, if Contractor has failed to complete the Work in accordance with the
Taxiway “C” 3-26 Construction Services Agreement

time requirements of the Agreement, no compensation (including set-offs to liquidated damages)
shall be allowed for such use or occupancy.

a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranty that the City has received the materials and
equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances, all of which
shall be satisfactory to the City. No payments shall be made for materials stored on site without

The removal of work and materials rejected under Paragraph 5.3 and the re-execution of work by
the Contractor shall be at the expense of the Contractor and the Contractor shall pay the cost of
replacing the destroyed or damaged work of other contractors by the removal of the rejected work

Claims arising from changes or revisions made by the Contractor at the City’s request shall be
presented to the City before work starts on the changes or revisions. If the Contractor deems that
extra compensation is due for work not covered herein, or in Supplemental Agreement, the
Contractor shall notify the City in writing of its intention to make claim for extra compensation
before work begins on which the claim is based. If such notification is not given and the City is
not afforded by the Contractor a method acceptable to the City for keeping strict account of actual
cost, then the Contractor hereby waives its request for such extra compensation. The City is not
obligated to pay the Contractor if the City is not notified as described above. The Contractor may
refuse to perform additional work requested by the City until an appropriate agreement is executed
by the parties. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that the City has kept account of the costs

Section 40 Scope of Work
40-01 Intent of contract. The intent of the contract is to provide for construction and completion, in every
detail, of the work described. It is further intended that the Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials,
equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies required to complete the work in accordance with the plans,
specifications, and terms of the contract.
40-02 Alteration of work and quantities. The Owner reserves and shall have the right to make such
alterations in the work as may be necessary or desirable to complete the work originally intended in an
acceptable manner. Unless otherwise specified herein, the Engineer shall be and is hereby authorized to
make such alterations in the work as may increase or decrease the originally awarded contract quantities,
provided that the aggregate of such alterations does not change the total contract cost or the total cost of
any major contract item by more than 25% (total cost being based on the unit prices and estimated quantities
in the awarded contract). Alterations that do not exceed the 25% limitation shall not invalidate the contract
nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to accept payment for such alterations as if the altered
work had been a part of the original contract. These alterations that are for work within the general scope
of the contract shall be covered by “Change Orders” issued by the Engineer. Change orders for altered work
shall include extensions of contract time where, in the Engineer’s opinion, such extensions are
commensurate with the amount and difficulty of added work.
Should the aggregate amount of altered work exceed the 25% limitation hereinbefore specified, such excess
altered work shall be covered by supplemental agreement. If the Owner and the Contractor are unable to
agree on a unit adjustment for any contract item that requires a supplemental agreement, the Owner reserves
the right to terminate the contract with respect to the item and make other arrangements for its completion.
Supplemental agreements shall be approved by the FAA and shall include all applicable Federal contract
provisions for procurement and contracting required under AIP. Supplemental agreements shall also re-
quire consent of the Contractor’s surety and separate performance and payment bonds.
40-03 Omitted items. The Engineer may, in the Owner’s best interest, omit from the work any
contract item, except major contract items. Major contract items may be omitted by a supplemental
agreement. Such omission of contract items shall not invalidate any other contract provision or
requirement.
Should a contract item be omitted or otherwise ordered to be non-performed, the Contractor shall be paid
for all work performed toward completion of such item prior to the date of the order to omit such item.
Payment for work performed shall be in accordance with the subsection 90-04 titled PAYMENT FOR
OMITTED ITEMS of Section 90.
40-04 Extra work. Should acceptable completion of the contract require the Contractor to perform an item
of work for which no basis of payment has been provided in the original contract or previously issued
change orders or supplemental agreements, the same shall be called “Extra Work.” Extra Work that is
within the general scope of the contract shall be covered by written change order. Change orders for such
Extra Work shall contain agreed unit prices for performing the change order work in accordance with the
requirements specified in the order, and shall contain any adjustment to the contract time that, in the
Engineer’s opinion, is necessary for completion of such Extra Work.
When determined by the Engineer to be in the Owner’s best interest, the Engineer may order the Contractor
to proceed with Extra Work as provided in the subsection 90-05 titled PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK
of Section 90. Extra Work that is necessary for acceptable completion of the project, but is not within the
general scope of the work covered by the original contract shall be covered by a Supplemental Agreement
as defined in the subsection 10-48 titled SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT of Section 10.
Taxiway “C” GP- 12 General Provisions

uninterrupted operation of visual and electronic signals (including power supplies thereto) used in the
guidance of aircraft while operating to, from, and upon the airport as specified in the subsection 70-15 titled
CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR UTILITY SERVICE AND FACILITIES OF OTHERS in
Section 70.
b. With respect to his or her own operations and the operations of all subcontractors, the Contractor
shall provide marking, lighting, and other acceptable means of identifying personnel, equipment, vehicles,
storage areas, and any work area or condition that may be hazardous to the operation of aircraft, fire-rescue
equipment, or maintenance vehicles at the airport.
c. When the contract requires the maintenance of vehicular traffic on an existing road, street, or highway
during the Contractor’s performance of work that is otherwise provided for in the contract, plans, and

END OF SECTION 40
Taxiway “C” GP- 15 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 50- Control of Work
Section 50 Control of Work
50-01 Authority of the Engineer. The Engineer shall decide any and all questions which may arise as to
the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work performed, and as to the manner of performance
and rate of progress of the work. The Engineer shall decide all questions that may arise as to the
interpretation of the specifications or plans relating to the work. The Engineer shall determine the amount
and quality of the several kinds of work performed and materials furnished which are to be paid for the
under contract.
The Engineer does not have the authority to accept pavements that do not conform to FAA specification
requirements.
50-02 Conformity with plans and specifications. All work and all materials furnished shall be in
reasonably close conformity with the lines, grades, grading sections, cross-sections, dimensions, material
requirements, and testing requirements that are specified (including specified tolerances) in the contract,
plans or specifications.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product not within reasonably
close conformity with the plans and specifications but that the portion of the work affected will, in his or
her opinion, result in a finished product having a level of safety, economy, durability, and workmanship
acceptable to the Owner, the Engineer will advise the Owner of his or her determination that the affected
work be accepted and remain in place. In this event, the Engineer will document the determination and
recommend to the Owner a basis of acceptance that will provide for an adjustment in the contract price for
the affected portion of the work. The Engineer’s determination and recommended contract price
adjustments will be based on sound engineering judgment and such tests or retests of the affected work as
are, in the Engineer’s opinion, needed. Changes in the contract price shall be covered by contract change
order or supplemental agreement as applicable.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product are not in reasonably
close conformity with the plans and specifications and have resulted in an unacceptable finished product,
the affected work or materials shall be removed and replaced or otherwise corrected by and at the expense
of the Contractor in accordance with the Engineer’s written orders.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term “reasonably close conformity” shall not be construed as waiving
the Contractor’s responsibility to complete the work in accordance with the contract, plans, and
specifications. The term shall not be construed as waiving the Engineer’s responsibility to insist on strict
compliance with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications during the Contractor’s
execution of the work, when, in the Engineer’s opinion, such compliance is essential to provide an
acceptable finished portion of the work.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term “reasonably close conformity” is also intended to provide the
Engineer with the authority, after consultation with the FAA, to use sound engineering judgment in his or
her determinations as to acceptance of work that is not in strict conformity, but will provide a finished
product equal to or better than that intended by the requirements of the contract, plans and specifications.
The Engineer will not be responsible for the Contractor’s means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures of construction or the safety precautions incident thereto.
50-03 Coordination of contract, plans, and specifications.
From time to time, discrepancies within cited testing standards occur due to the timing of the change, edits,
and/or replacement of the standards. If the Contractor discovers any apparent discrepancy within standard
test methods, the Contractor shall immediately ask the Engineer for an interpretation and decision, and such
decision shall be final.
Taxiway “C” GP- 16 General Provisions

or errors in the various contract documents, the documents shall be given the order of precedence, as fol-
lows: Agreement, Supplemental Agreement, Change Order, Addenda, Plans, Specifications, and General
Provisions. In case of discrepancy, figured dimensions, unless obviously incorrect, shall govern over scaled
dimensions. Cited standards for materials or testing, and cited FAA Advisory Circulars shall be considered
as standard specifications.
Any table, gradation, size, dimension, rate, mix, method, nomenclature, pay item number, basis of payment
or method of measurement shown on the plans, which is at variance with the standard specifications, shall
be considered an amendment or supplement to the applicable specification.
The Contractor shall not take advantage of any apparent error or omission on the plans or specifications.
In the event the Contractor discovers any apparent error or discrepancy, he shall immediately call upon the
Engineer for his/her interpretation and decision, and such decision shall be final.
50-04 Cooperation of Contractor. The Contractor will be supplied with a copy of the plans and
specifications. The Contractor shall be responsible for printing of any hard (paper) copies he needs and
shall have available at the work site at all times one copy each of the plans and specifications.
The Contractor shall give constant attention to the work to facilitate the progress thereof, and shall cooperate
with the Engineer and his or her inspectors and with other contractors in every way possible. The Contractor
shall have a competent superintendent on the work at all times who is fully authorized as his or her agent
on the work. The superintendent shall be capable of reading and thoroughly understanding the plans and
specifications and shall receive and fulfill instructions from the Engineer or his or her authorized
representative.
50-05 Cooperation between contractors. The Owner reserves the right to contract for and perform other
or additional work on or near the work covered by this contract.
When separate contracts are let within the limits of any one project, each Contractor shall conduct the work
so as not to interfere with or hinder the progress of completion of the work being performed by other
Contractors. Contractors working on the same project shall cooperate with each other as directed.
Each Contractor involved shall assume all liability, financial or otherwise, in connection with his or her
contract and shall protect and save harmless the Owner from any and all damages or claims that may arise
because of inconvenience, delays, or loss experienced because of the presence and operations of other
Contractors working within the limits of the same project.
The Contractor shall arrange his or her work and shall place and dispose of the materials being used so as
not to interfere with the operations of the other Contractors within the limits of the same project. The
Contractor shall join his or her work with that of the others in an acceptable manner and shall perform it in

layout work.
He shall not engage the services of any person or persons in the employ of the Engineer for performance of
layout work.
Adequate field notes and records shall be kept as layout work is accomplished. These field notes and
records shall be available for review by the Engineer as the work progresses and copies shall be furnished
to the Engineer at the time of completion of the project. Any inspection or checking of the Contractor's
field notes or layout work by the Engineer and the acceptance of all or any part thereof shall not relieve the
Contractor of his responsibility to achieve the lines, grades, and dimensions shown in the plans and speci-
fications.
The cost of all stakes and the cost of performing layout work as described above shall be included in the
contract unit prices for the various items of work to which it is incidental.
50-07 Automatically controlled equipment. Whenever batching or mixing plant equipment is required to
be operated automatically under the contract and a breakdown or malfunction of the automatic controls
occurs, the equipment may be operated manually or by other methods for a period 48 hours following the
breakdown or malfunction, provided this method of operations will produce results which conform to all
other requirements of the contract.
50-08 Authority and duties of inspectors. Inspectors shall be authorized to inspect all work done and all
material furnished. Such inspection may extend to all or any part of the work and to the preparation,
fabrication, or manufacture of the materials to be used. Inspectors are not authorized to revoke, alter, or
waive any provision of the contract. Inspectors are not authorized to issue instructions contrary to the plans
and specifications or to act as foreman for the Contractor.
Inspectors are authorized to notify the Contractor or his or her representatives of any failure of the work or
materials to conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, or specifications and to reject such
nonconforming materials in question until such issues can be referred to the Engineer for a decision.
50-09 Inspection of the work. All materials and each part or detail of the work shall be subject to
inspection. The Engineer shall be allowed access to all parts of the work and shall be furnished with such
information and assistance by the Contractor as is required to make a complete and detailed inspection.
If the Engineer requests it, the Contractor, at any time before acceptance of the work, shall remove or
uncover such portions of the finished work as may be directed. After examination, the Contractor shall
restore said portions of the work to the standard required by the specifications. Should the work thus
exposed or examined prove acceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the covering or
making good of the parts removed will be paid for as extra work; but should the work so exposed or
examined prove unacceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the covering or making
good of the parts removed will be at the Contractor’s expense.
Any work done or materials used without supervision or inspection by an authorized representative of the
Owner may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense unless the Owner’s representative
failed to inspect after having been given reasonable notice in writing that the work was to be performed.
Should the contract work include relocation, adjustment, or any other modification to existing facilities, not
the property of the (contract) Owner, authorized representatives of the Owners of such facilities shall have
the right to inspect such work. Such inspection shall in no sense make any facility owner a party to the
contract, and shall in no way interfere with the rights of the parties to this contract.
50-10 Removal of unacceptable and unauthorized work. All work that does not conform to the
requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications will be considered unacceptable, unless otherwise
determined acceptable by the Engineer as provided in the subsection 50-02 titled CONFORMITY WITH
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS of this section.
Taxiway “C” GP- 18 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 50- Control of Work
Unacceptable work, whether the result of poor workmanship, use of defective materials, damage through
carelessness, or any other cause found to exist prior to the final acceptance of the work, shall be removed
immediately and replaced in an acceptable manner in accordance with the provisions of the subsection 70-
14 titled CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK of Section 70.
No removal work made under provision of this subsection shall be done without lines and grades having
been established by the Engineer. Work done contrary to the instructions of the Engineer, work done beyond
the lines shown on the plans or as established by the Engineer, except as herein specified, or any extra work
done without authority, will be considered as unauthorized and will not be paid for under the provisions of
the contract. Work so done may be ordered removed or replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
Upon failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with any order of the Engineer made under the
provisions of this subsection, the Engineer will have authority to cause unacceptable work to be remedied
or removed and replaced and unauthorized work to be removed and to deduct the costs incurred by the
Owner from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.
50-11 Load restrictions. The Contractor shall comply with all legal load restrictions in the hauling of
materials on public roads beyond the limits of the work. A special permit will not relieve the Contractor of
liability for damage that may result from the moving of material or equipment.
The operation of equipment of such weight or so loaded as to cause damage to structures or to any other
type of construction will not be permitted. Hauling of materials over the base course or surface course under
construction shall be limited as directed. No loads will be permitted on a concrete pavement, base, or
structure before the expiration of the curing period. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damage done
by his or her hauling equipment and shall correct such damage at his or her own expense.
50-12 Maintenance during construction. The Contractor shall maintain the work during construction and
until the work is accepted. Maintenance shall constitute continuous and effective work prosecuted day by
day, with adequate equipment and forces so that the work is maintained in satisfactory condition at all times.
In the case of a contract for the placing of a course upon a course or subgrade previously constructed, the
Contractor shall maintain the previous course or subgrade during all construction operations.
All costs of maintenance work during construction and before the project is accepted shall be included in
the unit prices bid on the various contract items, and the Contractor will not be paid an additional amount
for such work.
50-13 Failure to maintain the work. Should the Contractor at any time fail to maintain the work as
provided in the subsection 50-12 titled MAINTENANCE DURING CONSTRUCTION of this section, the
Engineer shall immediately notify the Contractor of such noncompliance. Such notification shall specify a
reasonable time within which the Contractor shall be required to remedy such unsatisfactory maintenance
condition. The time specified will give due consideration to the exigency that exists.
Should the Contractor fail to respond to the Engineer’s notification, the Owner may suspend any work
necessary for the Owner to correct such unsatisfactory maintenance condition, depending on the exigency
that exists. Any maintenance cost incurred by the Owner, shall be deducted from monies due or to become
due the Contractor.
50-14 Partial acceptance. If at any time during the execution of the project the Contractor substantially
completes a usable unit or portion of the work, the occupancy of which will benefit the Owner, the
Contractor may request the Engineer to make final inspection of that unit. If the Engineer finds upon
inspection that the unit has been satisfactorily completed in compliance with the contract, the Engineer may
accept it as being complete, and the Contractor may be relieved of further responsibility for that unit. Such
partial acceptance and beneficial occupancy by the Owner shall not void or alter any provision of the
contract.
Taxiway “C” GP- 19 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 50- Control of Work
50-15 Final acceptance. Upon due notice from the Contractor of presumptive completion of the entire
project, the Engineer and Owner will make an inspection. If all construction provided for and contemplated
by the contract is found to be complete in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications, such
inspection shall constitute the final inspection. The Engineer shall notify the Contractor in writing of final
acceptance as of the date of the final inspection.
If, however, the inspection discloses any work, in whole or in part, as being unsatisfactory, the Engineer
will give the Contractor the necessary instructions for correction of same and the Contractor shall
immediately comply with and execute such instructions. Upon correction of the work, another inspection
will be made which shall constitute the final inspection, provided the work has been satisfactorily
completed. In such event, the Engineer will make the final acceptance and notify the Contractor in writing
of this acceptance as of the date of final inspection.
50-16 Claims for adjustment and disputes. If for any reason the Contractor deems that additional
compensation is due for work or materials not clearly provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications
or previously authorized as extra work, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of his or her
intention to claim such additional compensation before the Contractor begins the work on which the
Contractor bases the claim. If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper
opportunity by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual cost as required, then the Contractor
hereby agrees to waive any claim for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor and the
fact that the Engineer has kept account of the cost of the work shall not in any way be construed as proving
or substantiating the validity of the claim. When the work on which the claim for additional compensation
is based has been completed, the Contractor shall, within 10 calendar days, submit a written claim to the
Engineer who will present it to the Owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a waiver of the Contractor’s right to dispute final payment
based on differences in measurements or computations.
The following documentation and information must be presented in order for the Engineer to properly
evaluate such claim:
a. Definition of the basis of the claim, including a detailed identification of which materials and what
work is considered to represent a change to the original contract, an explanation of why the work or material
is different than what was called for by the original contract, and an identification of the contract provisions
and anything else which the Contract relied upon;
b. An explanation of how and why the work which is considered a change resulted in any additional cost
or performance time for the Contractor;
c. An identification of the categories of additional costs which were incurred, an estimate of the dollar
magnitude of each, and a statement of the impact this work will have on the construction schedule, including
the contract completion dates;
d. An indication of how the additional costs which is believed that were incurred can be, and are to be,
quantified;
e. Documentation of any actual additional costs and any actual impact to the construction schedule due to
this work;
f. Documentation of the cost of performing all similar "unchanged" work, to provide the Engineer a basis
for comparison;
g. All backup and other documentation which are believed to support or relate to the claim;
Documentation quantifying the amount of work which is believed to constitute this "changed" work, and
the time period and the areas where such work was performed.
The giving of a timely notice of a potential claim prior to undertaking the work which is the subject of the
claim, and the submittal of the above listed information for claim evaluation within ten days after the work

is completed, are conditions precedent to the making of the claim, to recovery thereon, and to the bringing
of a legal action for the resolution thereof.
50-18 RETEST OF WORK. When as provided for in the contract documents, the Owner performs
sampling and tests of the work and the tests show a failure to meet the requirements of the contract
documents, the expense of retesting, after reworking or substitution by the Contractor will be at the expense
of the Contractor and such costs will be deducted from the payments otherwise due to the Contractor.
50-19 CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT. Neither the final certificate nor payment,
nor any provision in the contract documents shall relieve the Contractor of responsibility for faulty materials
or workmanship and, unless otherwise specified, he shall remedy any defect due thereto and pay for any
damage to other work resulting therefrom, which shall appear within a period of one year from date of final
acceptance. Wherever the word "acceptance" occurs, it shall be understood to mean final acceptance.
The Owner shall give notice of observed defects with reasonable promptness. If the Contractor fails to
remedy any failure, defect, or damage within a reasonable time after the receipt of notice, the Owner shall
have the right to replace, repair, or otherwise remedy the failure, defect, or damage at the Contractor's
expense. With respect to all warranties, expressed or implied, from subcontractors, manufacturer, or sup-
pliers for work performed and materials furnished under this Contract, the Contractor shall:
a. Obtain all warranties that would be given in normal commercial practice;
b. Require all warranties to be executed, in writing, for the benefit of the Owner.

Taxiway “C” GP- 28 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 70- Legal Regulations and Responsibility to Public
70-11 Responsibility for damage claims. The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the Engineer
and the Owner and their officers, and employees from all suits, actions, or claims, of any character, brought
because of any injuries or damage received or sustained by any person, persons, or property on account of
the operations of the Contractor; or on account of or in consequence of any neglect in safeguarding the
work; or through use of unacceptable materials in constructing the work; or because of any act or omission,
neglect, or misconduct of said Contractor; or because of any claims or amounts recovered from any
infringements of patent, trademark, or copyright; or from any claims or amounts arising or recovered under
the “Workmen’s Compensation Act,” or any other law, ordinance, order, or decree. Money due the
Contractor under and by virtue of his or her contract considered necessary by the Owner for such purpose
may be retained for the use of the Owner or, in case no money is due, his or her surety may be held until
such suits, actions, or claims for injuries or damages shall have been settled and suitable evidence to that
effect furnished to the Owner, except that money due the Contractor will not be withheld when the
Contractor produces satisfactory evidence that he or she is adequately protected by public liability and
property damage insurance.
70-12 Third party beneficiary clause. It is specifically agreed between the parties executing the contract
that it is not intended by any of the provisions of any part of the contract to create for the public or any
member thereof, a third party beneficiary or to authorize anyone not a party to the contract to maintain a
suit for personal injuries or property damage pursuant to the terms or provisions of the contract.
70-13 Opening sections of the work to traffic. Should it be necessary for the Contractor to complete
portions of the contract work for the beneficial occupancy of the Owner prior to completion of the entire
contract, such “phasing” of the work shall be specified herein and indicated on the plans. When so specified,
the Contractor shall complete such portions of the work on or before the date specified or as otherwise
specified. The Contractor shall make his or her own estimate of the difficulties involved in arranging the
work to permit such beneficial occupancy by the Owner as described below:
See plans
Upon completion of any portion of the work listed above, such portion shall be accepted by the Owner in
accordance with the subsection 50-14 titled PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50.
No portion of the work may be opened by the Contractor for public use until ordered by the Engineer in
writing. Should it become necessary to open a portion of the work to public traffic on a temporary or
intermittent basis, such openings shall be made when, in the opinion of the Engineer, such portion of the
work is in an acceptable condition to support the intended traffic. Temporary or intermittent openings are
considered to be inherent in the work and shall not constitute either acceptance of the portion of the work
so opened or a waiver of any provision of the contract. Any damage to the portion of the work so opened
that is not attributable to traffic which is permitted by the Owner shall be repaired by the Contractor at his
or her expense.
The Contractor shall make his or her own estimate of the inherent difficulties involved in completing the
work under the conditions herein described and shall not claim any added compensation by reason of delay
or increased cost due to opening a portion of the contract work.
Contractor shall be required to conform to safety standards contained AC 150/5370-2 (see Special
Provisions).
Contractor shall refer to the approved Construction Safety Phasing Plan (CSPP) to identify barricade
requirements and other safety requirements prior to opening up sections of work to traffic.
70-14 Contractor’s responsibility for work. Until the Engineer’s final written acceptance of the entire
completed work, excepting only those portions of the work accepted in accordance with the subsection 50-
14 titled PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50, the Contractor shall have the charge and care thereof
and shall take every precaution against injury or damage to any part due to the action of the elements or
Taxiway “C” GP- 29 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 70- Legal Regulations and Responsibility to Public
from any other cause, whether arising from the execution or from the non-execution of the work. The
Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore, and make good all injuries or damages to any portion of the work
occasioned by any of the above causes before final acceptance and shall bear the expense thereof except
damage to the work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control of and without the fault or negligence
of the Contractor, including but not restricted to acts of God such as earthquake, tidal wave, tornado,
hurricane or other cataclysmic phenomenon of nature, or acts of the public enemy or of government
authorities.
If the work is suspended for any cause whatever, the Contractor shall be responsible for the work and shall
take such precautions necessary to prevent damage to the work. The Contractor shall provide for normal
drainage and shall erect necessary temporary structures, signs, or other facilities at his or her expense.
During such period of suspension of work, the Contractor shall properly and continuously maintain in an
acceptable growing condition all living material in newly established planting, seeding, and sodding
furnished under the contract, and shall take adequate precautions to protect new tree growth and other
important vegetative growth against injury.
70-15 Contractor’s responsibility for utility service and facilities of others. As provided in the
subsection 70-04 titled RESTORATION OF SURFACES DISTURBED BY OTHERS of this section, the
Contractor shall cooperate with the Owner of any public or private utility service, FAA or NOAA, or a
utility service of another government agency that may be authorized by the Owner to construct, reconstruct
or maintain such utility services or facilities during the progress of the work. In addition, the Contractor
shall control their operations to prevent the unscheduled interruption of such utility services and facilities.
To the extent that such public or private utility services, FAA, or NOAA facilities, or utility services of
another governmental agency are known to exist within the limits of the contract work, the approximate
locations have been indicated on the plans and the Owners are indicated as follows:
See plans
It is understood and agreed that the Owner does not guarantee the accuracy or the completeness of the
location information relating to existing utility services, facilities, or structures that may be shown on the
plans or encountered in the work. Any inaccuracy or omission in such information shall not relieve the
Contractor of the responsibility to protect such existing features from damage or unscheduled interruption
of service.
It is further understood and agreed that the Contractor shall, upon execution of the contract, notify the
Owners of all utility services or other facilities of his or her plan of operations. Such notification shall be
in writing addressed to THE PERSON TO CONTACT as provided in this subsection and subsection 70-04
titled RESTORATION OF SURFACES DISTURBED BY OTHERS of this section. A copy of each
notification shall be given to the Engineer.
In addition to the general written notification provided, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to
keep such individual Owners advised of changes in their plan of operations that would affect such Owners.
Prior to beginning the work in the general vicinity of an existing utility service or facility, the Contractor
shall again notify each such Owner of their plan of operation. If, in the Contractor’s opinion, the Owner’s
assistance is needed to locate the utility service or facility or the presence of a representative of the Owner
is desirable to observe the work, such advice should be included in the notification. Such notification shall
be given by the most expeditious means to reach the utility owner’s PERSON TO CONTACT no later than
two normal business days prior to the Contractor’s commencement of operations in such general vicinity.
The Contractor shall furnish a written summary of the notification to the Engineer.
The Contractor’s failure to give the two days’ notice shall be cause for the Owner to suspend the
Contractor’s operations in the general vicinity of a utility service or facility.
Taxiway “C” GP- 30 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 70- Legal Regulations and Responsibility to Public
Where the outside limits of an underground utility service have been located and staked on the ground, the
Contractor shall be required to use hand excavation methods within 3 feet (1 m) of such outside limits at
such points as may be required to ensure protection from damage due to the Contractor’s operations.
Should the Contractor damage or interrupt the operation of a utility service or facility by accident or
otherwise, the Contractor shall immediately notify the proper authority and the Engineer and shall take all
reasonable measures to prevent further damage or interruption of service. The Contractor, in such events,
shall cooperate with the utility service or facility owner and the Engineer continuously until such damage
has been repaired and service restored to the satisfaction of the utility or facility owner.
The Contractor shall bear all costs of damage and restoration of service to any utility service or facility due
to their operations whether due to negligence or accident. The Owner reserves the right to deduct such costs
from any monies due or which may become due the Contractor, or his or her surety.
70-15.1 FAA facilities and cable runs. Not Applicable
70-16 Furnishing rights-of-way. The Owner will be responsible for furnishing all rights-of-way upon
which the work is to be constructed in advance of the Contractor’s operations.
70-17 Personal liability of public officials. In carrying out any of the contract provisions or in exercising
any power or authority granted by this contract, there shall be no liability upon the Engineer, his or her
authorized representatives, or any officials of the Owner either personally or as an official of the Owner. It
is understood that in such matters they act solely as agents and representatives of the Owner.
70-18 No waiver of legal rights. Upon completion of the work, the Owner will expeditiously make final
inspection and notify the Contractor of final acceptance. Such final acceptance, however, shall not preclude
or stop the Owner from correcting any measurement, estimate, or certificate made before or after
completion of the work, nor shall the Owner be precluded or stopped from recovering from the Contractor
or his or her surety, or both, such overpayment as may be sustained, or by failure on the part of the
Contractor to fulfill his or her obligations under the contract. A waiver on the part of the Owner of any
breach of any part of the contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
The Contractor, without prejudice to the terms of the contract, shall be liable to the Owner for latent defects,
fraud, or such gross mistakes as may amount to fraud, or as regards the Owner’s rights under any warranty
or guaranty.
70-19 Environmental protection. The Contractor shall comply with all Federal, state, and local laws and
regulations controlling pollution of the environment. The Contractor shall take necessary precautions to
prevent pollution of streams, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, chemicals, or other
harmful materials and to prevent pollution of the atmosphere from particulate and gaseous matter.
70-20 Archaeological and historical findings. Unless otherwise specified in this subsection, the
Contractor is advised that the site of the work is not within any property, district, or site, and does not
contain any building, structure, or object listed in the current National Register of Historic Places published
by the United States Department of Interior.
Should the Contractor encounter, during his or her operations, any building, part of a building, structure, or
object that is incongruous with its surroundings, the Contractor shall immediately cease operations in that
location and notify the Engineer. The Engineer will immediately investigate the Contractor’s finding and
the Owner will direct the Contractor to either resume operations or to suspend operations as directed.
Should the Owner order suspension of the Contractor’s operations in order to protect an archaeological or
historical finding, or order the Contractor to perform extra work, such shall be covered by an appropriate
contract change order or supplemental agreement as provided in the subsection 40-04 titled EXTRA WORK
of Section 40 and the subsection 90-05 titled PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK of Section 90. If
appropriate, the contract change order or supplemental agreement shall include an extension of contract

shall at all times when work is in progress be represented either in person, by a qualified superintendent, or
by other designated, qualified representative who is duly authorized to receive and execute orders of the
Engineer.
The Contractor shall provide copies of all subcontracts to the Engineer. The Contractor shall perform, with
his organization, an amount of work equal to at least [40] percent of the total contract cost.
Should the Contractor elect to assign his or her contract, said assignment shall be concurred in by the surety,
shall be presented for the consideration and approval of the Owner, and shall be consummated only on the
written approval of the Owner.
80-02 Notice to proceed. The notice to proceed shall state the date on which it is expected the Contractor
will begin the construction and from which date contract time will be charged. The Contractor shall begin
the work to be performed under the contract within 10 days of the date set by the Engineer in the written
notice to proceed, but in any event, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of
the time actual construction operations will begin. The Contractor shall not commence any actual
construction prior to the date on which the notice to proceed is issued by the Owner.
80-03 Execution and progress. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall submit their progress
schedule for the Engineer’s approval within 10 days after the effective date of the notice to proceed. The
Contractor’s progress schedule, when approved by the Engineer, may be used to establish major
construction operations and to check on the progress of the work. The Contractor shall provide sufficient
materials, equipment, and labor to guarantee the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and
specifications within the time set forth in the proposal.
If the Contractor falls significantly behind the submitted schedule, the Contractor shall, upon the Engineer’s
request, submit a revised schedule for completion of the work within the contract time and modify their
operations to provide such additional materials, equipment, and labor necessary to meet the revised
schedule. Should the execution of the work be discontinued for any reason, the Contractor shall notify the
Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of resuming operations.
The Contractor shall not commence any actual construction prior to the date on which the notice to proceed
is issued by the Owner.
80-04 Limitation of operations. The Contractor shall control his or her operations and the operations of
his or her subcontractors and all suppliers to provide for the free and unobstructed movement of aircraft in
the air operations areas (AOA) of the airport.
When the work requires the Contractor to conduct his or her operations within an AOA of the airport, the
work shall be coordinated with airport operations (through the Engineer) at least 48 hours prior to
commencement of such work. The Contractor shall not close an AOA until so authorized by the Engineer
and until the necessary temporary marking and associated lighting is in place as provided in the subsection
70-08 titled BARRICADES, WARNING SIGNS, AND HAZARD MARKINGS of Section 70.
When the contract work requires the Contractor to work within an AOA of the airport on an intermittent
basis (intermittent opening and closing of the AOA), the Contractor shall maintain constant
communications as specified; immediately obey all instructions to vacate the AOA; immediately obey all
instructions to resume work in such AOA. Failure to maintain the specified communications or to obey
instructions shall be cause for suspension of the Contractor’s operations in the AOA until the satisfactory
conditions are provided. The following AOA cannot be closed to operating aircraft to permit the
Contractor’s operations on a continuous basis and will therefore be closed to aircraft operations
intermittently as follows:
Taxiway “C” GP- 34 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 80- Execution and Progress
See plans
Contractor shall be required to conform to safety standards contained in AC 150/5370-2, Operational Safety
on Airports During Construction (see Special Provisions).
80-04.1 Operational safety on airport during construction. All Contractors’ operations shall be
conducted in accordance with the project Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) and the provisions
set forth within the current version of AC 150/5370-2. The CSPP included within the contract documents
conveys minimum requirements for operational safety on the airport during construction activities. The
Contractor shall prepare and submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document that details how it proposes to
comply with the requirements presented within the CSPP.
The Contractor shall implement all necessary safety plan measures prior to commencement of any work
activity. The Contractor shall conduct routine checks to assure compliance with the safety plan measures.
The Contractor is responsible to the Owner for the conduct of all subcontractors it employs on the project.
The Contractor shall assure that all subcontractors are made aware of the requirements of the CSPP and
that they implement and maintain all necessary measures.
No deviation or modifications may be made to the approved CSPP unless approved in writing by the Owner
or Engineer.
80-05 Character of workers, methods, and equipment. The Contractor shall, at all times, employ
sufficient labor and equipment for prosecuting the work to full completion in the manner and time required
by the contract, plans, and specifications.
All workers shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform properly the work assigned to them.
Workers engaged in special work or skilled work shall have sufficient experience in such work and in the
operation of the equipment required to perform the work satisfactorily.
Any person employed by the Contractor or by any subcontractor who violates any operational regulations
or operational safety requirements and, in the opinion of the Engineer, does not perform his work in a proper
and skillful manner or is intemperate or disorderly shall, at the written request of the Engineer, be removed
forthwith by the Contractor or subcontractor employing such person, and shall not be employed again in
any portion of the work without approval of the Engineer.
Should the Contractor fail to remove such persons or person, or fail to furnish suitable and sufficient
personnel for the proper execution of the work, the Engineer may suspend the work by written notice until
compliance with such orders.
All equipment that is proposed to be used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in such mechanical
condition as to meet requirements of the work and to produce a satisfactory quality of work. Equipment
used on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to previously completed work, adjacent
property, or existing airport facilities will result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the work are not prescribed
in the contract, the Contractor is free to use any methods or equipment that will accomplish the work in
conformity with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications.
When the contract specifies the use of certain methods and equipment, such methods and equipment shall
be used unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the Contractor desires to use a method or type of
equipment other than specified in the contract, the Contractor may request authority from the Engineer to
do so. The request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the methods and equipment
proposed and of the reasons for desiring to make the change. If approval is given, it will be on the condition
that the Contractor will be fully responsible for producing work in conformity with contract requirements.
If, after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment, the Engineer determines that the work produced
does not meet contract requirements, the Contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or
equipment and shall complete the remaining work with the specified methods and equipment. The
Taxiway “C” GP- 35 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 80- Execution and Progress
Contractor shall remove any deficient work and replace it with work of specified quality, or take such other
corrective action as the Engineer may direct. No change will be made in basis of payment for the contract
items involved nor in contract time as a result of authorizing a change in methods or equipment under this
subsection.
Any person employed by the Contractor or by a subcontractor who, in the opinion of the Engineer, does
not perform his work in a proper and skillful manner or is intemperate or disorderly shall, at the written
request of the Engineer, be removed forthwith by the Contractor or subcontractor employing such person,
and shall not be employed again in any portion of the work without the approval of the Engineer.
Should the Contractor fail to remove such person or persons or fail to furnish suitable and sufficient per-
sonnel for the proper prosecution of the work, the Engineer may suspend the work by written notice until
compliance with such orders.
The failure to provide adequate labor and equipment may be considered cause for terminating the contract.
80-06 Temporary suspension of the work. The Owner shall have the authority to suspend the work
wholly, or in part, for such period or periods as the Owner may deem necessary, due to unsuitable weather,
or such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the execution of the work, or for such time as is
necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out orders given or perform any or all
provisions of the contract.
In the event that the Contractor is ordered by the Owner, in writing, to suspend work for some unforeseen
cause not otherwise provided for in the contract and over which the Contractor has no control, the
Contractor may be reimbursed for actual money expended on the work during the period of shutdown. No
allowance will be made for anticipated profits. The period of shutdown shall be computed from the effective
date of the Engineer’s order to suspend work to the effective date of the Engineer’s order to resume the
work. Claims for such compensation shall be filed with the Engineer within the time period stated in the
Engineer’s order to resume work. The Contractor shall submit with his or her claim information
substantiating the amount shown on the claim. The Engineer will forward the Contractor’s claim to the
Owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances. No provision of this article shall be
construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement weather, for suspensions
made at the request of the Owner, or for any other delay provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications.
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period, the Contractor shall store all
materials in such manner that they will not become an obstruction nor become damaged in any way. The
Contractor shall take every precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work performed and
provide for normal drainage of the work. The Contractor shall erect temporary structures where necessary
to provide for traffic on, to, or from the airport.
If the Contractor requests a suspension of the work in whole or part for such period or periods as he may
need, due to unsuitable weather or such other conditions as Contractor considers unfavorable for the pros-
ecution of the work, or if ordered by Owner or Engineer due to inclement weather or the failure on the part
of the Contractor to carry out orders given, or to perform any or all provisions of the Contractor shall
perform the following without additional compensations:
1. Suitably store all materials.
2.Implement measures to protect existing work from damage or deterioration.
3. Erect such temporary structures and barricades as Engineer may require to provide for traffic on, to, or
from the airport and air operations area.
Taxiway “C” GP- 36 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 80- Execution and Progress
4. Periodically inspect and maintain the work and temporary measures during the suspension period. Repair
any damage to the work during the suspension period.
5. Pay all cost of Owner associated with the suspension including but not limited to cost of Engineer, in-
spection and Owner's testing laboratory to perform their contractual requirements with respect to the project
during the work suspension.
6. Maintain all insurance and bond coverages.
7. Perform such other work as required by the Contract Documents with respect to the Project.
80-07 Determination and extension of contract time. The number of calendar or working days allowed
for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal and contract and shall be known as the
CONTRACT TIME.
Should the contract time require extension for reasons beyond the Contractor’s control, it shall be adjusted
as follows:
a. CONTRACT TIME based on WORKING DAYS shall be calculated weekly by the Engineer. The
Engineer will furnish the Contractor a copy of his or her weekly statement of the number of working days
charged against the contract time during the week and the number of working days currently specified for
completion of the contract (the original contract time plus the number of working days, if any, that have
been included in approved CHANGE ORDERS or SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS covering EXTRA
WORK).
The Engineer shall base his or her weekly statement of contract time charged on the following
considerations:
(1) No time shall be charged for days on which the Contractor is unable to proceed with the
principal item of work under construction at the time for at least six (6) hours with the normal work force
employed on such principal item. Should the normal work force be on a double-shift, 12 hours shall be
used. Should the normal work force be on a triple-shift, 18 hours shall apply. Conditions beyond the
Contractor’s control such as strikes, lockouts, unusual delays in transportation, temporary suspension of the
principal item of work under construction or temporary suspension of the entire work which have been
ordered by the Owner for reasons not the fault of the Contractor, shall not be charged against the contract
time.
(2) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time prior to the effective date of the
notice to proceed.
(3) The Engineer will begin charges against the contract time on the first working day after the
effective date of the notice to proceed.
(4) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time after the date of final acceptance
as defined in the subsection 50-15 titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50.
(5) The Contractor will be allowed one (1) week in which to file a written protest setting forth his
or her objections to the Engineer’s weekly statement. If no objection is filed within such specified time, the
weekly statement shall be considered as acceptable to the Contractor.
The contract time (stated in the proposal) is based on the originally estimated quantities as described in the
subsection 20-05 titled INTERPRETATION OF ESTIMATED PROPOSAL QUANTITIES of Section 20.
Should the satisfactory completion of the contract require performance of work in greater quantities than
those estimated in the proposal, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost of
Taxiway “C” GP- 37 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 80- Execution and Progress
the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the proposal.
Such increase in contract time shall not consider either the cost of work or the extension of contract time
that has been covered by change order or supplemental agreement and shall be made at the time of final
payment.
b. Contract Time based on calendar days shall consist of the number of calendar days stated in the
contract counting from the effective date of the notice to proceed and including all Saturdays, Sundays,
holidays, and non-work days. All calendar days elapsing between the effective dates of the Owner’s orders
to suspend and resume all work, due to causes not the fault of the Contractor, shall be excluded.
At the time of final payment, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost of
the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the proposal.
Such increase in the contract time shall not consider either cost of work or the extension of contract time
that has been covered by a change order or supplemental agreement. Charges against the contract time will
cease as of the date of final acceptance.
c. When the contract time is a specified completion date, it shall be the date on which all contract work
shall be substantially complete.
If the Contractor finds it impossible for reasons beyond his or her control to complete the work within the
contract time as specified, or as extended in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, the
Contractor may, at any time prior to the expiration of the contract time as extended, make a written request
to the Owner for an extension of time setting forth the reasons which the Contractor believes will justify
the granting of his or her request. Requests for extension of time on calendar day projects, caused by
inclement weather, shall be supported with National Weather Bureau data showing the actual amount of
inclement weather exceeded what could normally be expected during the contract period. The Contractor’s
plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid reason for extension of time. If the supporting
documentation justify the work was delayed because of conditions beyond the control and without the fault
of the Contractor, the Owner may extend the time for completion by a change order that adjusts the contract
time or completion date. The extended time for completion shall then be in full force and effect, the same
as though it were the original time for completion.
In all cases where the Contractor is delayed, obstructed, or hindered in the execution of the work, or any
part thereof, for any reason whatsoever, the Contractor shall not be entitled to claim or recover any damages
or additional payment from the Owner or Engineer. However, it is the intent of this Contract that in all
cases where the Contractor is substantially delayed, obstructed, or hindered in the execution of the work
through no fault of the Contractor and because of conditions beyond the Contractor's control, the Engineer
may recommend an extension on the contract time under Subsection 80-07 by such amount as conditions,
in the judgment of the Engineer, justify, and such extension of the contract time shall be the exclusive
remedy of the Contractor for delay, hindrance or obstruction occurring through no fault of the Contractor
and because of conditions beyond the Contractor's control.
80-08 Failure to complete on time. For each calendar day or working day, as specified in the contract, that
any work remains uncompleted after the contract time (including all extensions and adjustments as provided
in the subsection 80-07 titled DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME of this
Section) the sum specified in the contract and proposal as liquidated damages will be deducted from any
money due or to become due the Contractor or his or her surety. Such deducted sums shall not be deducted
as a penalty but shall be considered as liquidation of a reasonable portion of damages including but not
limited to additional engineering services that will be incurred by the Owner should the Contractor fail to
complete the work in the time provided in their contract.
Taxiway “C” GP- 38 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 80- Execution and Progress
Schedule Liquidated Damages Cost Allowed Construction Time
See Section 01010- Summary of Work
80-09 Default and termination of contract. The Contractor shall be considered in default of his or her
contract and such default will be considered as cause for the Owner to terminate the contract for any of the
following reasons if the Contractor:
a. Fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified in the Notice to Proceed, or
b. Fails to perform the work or fails to provide sufficient workers, equipment and/or materials to assure
completion of work in accordance with the terms of the contract, or
c. Performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials or to perform anew such
work as may be rejected as unacceptable and unsuitable, or
d. Discontinues the execution of the work, or
e. Fails to resume work which has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice to do so, or
f. Becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, or
g. Allows any final judgment to stand against the Contractor unsatisfied for a period of 10 days, or
h. Makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
i. For any other cause whatsoever, fails to carry on the work in an acceptable manner.
Should the Engineer consider the Contractor in default of the contract for any reason above, the Engineer
shall immediately give written notice to the Contractor and the Contractor’s surety as to the reasons for
considering the Contractor in default and the Owner’s intentions to terminate the contract.
If the Contractor or surety, within a period of 10 days after such notice, does not proceed in accordance
therewith, then the Owner will, upon written notification from the Engineer of the facts of such delay,
neglect, or default and the Contractor’s failure to comply with such notice, have full power and authority
without violating the contract, to take the execution of the work out of the hands of the Contractor. The
Owner may appropriate or use any or all materials and equipment that have been mobilized for use in the
work and are acceptable and may enter into an agreement for the completion of said contract according to
the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods as in the opinion of the Engineer will be required
for the completion of said contract in an acceptable manner.
All costs and charges incurred by the Owner, together with the cost of completing the work under contract,
will be deducted from any monies due or which may become due the Contractor. If such expense exceeds
the sum which would have been payable under the contract, then the Contractor and the surety shall be
liable and shall pay to the Owner the amount of such excess.
80-10 Termination for national emergencies. The Owner shall terminate the contract or portion thereof
by written notice when the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the construction contract as a
direct result of an Executive Order of the President with respect to the execution of war or in the interest of
national defense.
When the contract, or any portion thereof, is terminated before completion of all items of work in the
contract, payment will be made for the actual number of units or items of work completed at the contract
Taxiway “C” GP- 39 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 80- Execution and Progress
price or as mutually agreed for items of work partially completed or not started. No claims or loss of
anticipated profits shall be considered.
Reimbursement for organization of the work, and other overhead expenses, (when not otherwise included
in the contract) and moving equipment and materials to and from the job will be considered, the intent being
that an equitable settlement will be made with the Contractor.
Acceptable materials, obtained or ordered by the Contractor for the work and that are not incorporated in
the work shall, at the option of the Contractor, be purchased from the Contractor at actual cost as shown by
receipted bills and actual cost records at such points of delivery as may be designated by the Engineer.
Termination of the contract or a portion thereof shall neither relieve the Contractor of his or her
responsibilities for the completed work nor shall it relieve his or her surety of its obligation for and
concerning any just claim arising out of the work performed.
The Engineer and the Owner shall be given full access to all books, cost records, correspondence and papers
of the Contractor relating to the contract in order to determine amounts to be paid the Contractor due to any
termination of the contract.

Section 90 Measurement and Payment
90-01 Measurement of quantities. All work completed under the contract will be measured by the
Engineer, or his or her authorized representatives, using United States Customary Units of Measurement or
the International System of Units.
The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material
furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those methods generally recognized as
conforming to good engineering practice.
Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be made horizontally,
and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or leave-outs) having an area of 9 square feet (0.8
square meters) or less. Unless otherwise specified, transverse measurements for area computations will be
the neat dimensions shown on the plans or ordered in writing by the Engineer.
Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as altered to fit field conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, all contract items which are measured by the linear foot such as electrical ducts,
conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar items shall be measured parallel to the base or foundation
upon which such items are placed.
In computing volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable methods will be used.
The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated metal pipe, metal plate
pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified and measured in decimal fraction of inch.
The term “ton” will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 lb (907 km) avoirdupois. All materials that are
measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on accurate, approved scales by competent, qualified
personnel at locations designed by the Engineer. If material is shipped by rail, the car weight may be
accepted provided that only the actual weight of material is paid for. However, car weights will not be
acceptable for material to be passed through mixing plants. Trucks used to haul material being paid for by
weight shall be weighed empty daily at such times as the Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear a
plainly legible identification mark.
Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved vehicles and
measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may be of any size or type acceptable
for the materials hauled, provided that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and
accurately determined. All vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity, and all loads shall
be leveled when the vehicles arrive at the point of delivery.
When requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be
measured by the cubic yard (cubic meter) may be weighed, and such weights will be converted to cubic
yards (cubic meters) for payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight measurement to volume
measurement will be determined by the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before such
method of measurement of pay quantities is used.
Bituminous materials will be measured by the gallon (liter) or ton (kg). When measured by volume, such
volumes will be measured at 60°F (16°C) or will be corrected to the volume at 60°F (16°C) using ASTM
D1250 for asphalts or ASTM D633 for tars.
Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments will be used
as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has been lost from the car or the
distributor, wasted, or otherwise not incorporated in the work.
When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights by volume, subject to
correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities.
Cement will be measured by the ton (kg) or hundredweight (km).
Taxiway “C” GP- 42 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 90- Measurement and Payment
Timber will be measured by the thousand feet board measure (MFBM) actually incorporated in the
structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses and the extreme length of each
piece.
The term “lump sum” when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment for the work described
in the contract.
When a complete structure or structural unit (in effect, “lump sum” work) is specified as the unit of
measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and accessories.
Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and necessary traveling time
of the equipment within the limits of the work. Special equipment ordered by the Engineer in connection
with force account work will be measured as agreed in the change order or supplemental agreement
authorizing such force account work as provided in the subsection 90-05 titled PAYMENT FOR EXTRA
WORK of this section.
When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduit,
etc., and these items are identified by gauge, unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification will
be considered to be nominal weights or dimensions. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in
cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted.
Scales for weighing materials which are required to be proportioned or measured and paid for by weight
shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by the Contractor, or be certified permanently installed
commercial scales.
Scales shall be accurate within 1/2% of the correct weight throughout the range of use. The Contractor shall
have the scales checked under the observation of the inspector before beginning work and at such other
times as requested. The intervals shall be uniform in spacing throughout the graduated or marked length of
the beam or dial and shall not exceed one-tenth of 1% of the nominal rated capacity of the scale, but not
less than 1 pound (454 grams). The use of spring balances will not be permitted.
Beams, dials, platforms, and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the operator and the inspector
can safely and conveniently view them.
Scale installations shall have available ten standard 50-pound (2.3 km) weights for testing the weighing
equipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved equipment.
Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site. Platform scales shall be installed
and maintained with the platform level and rigid bulkheads at each end.
Scales “overweighing” (indicating more than correct weight) will not be permitted to operate, and all
materials received subsequent to the last previous correct weighting-accuracy test will be reduced by the
percentage of error in excess of one-half of 1%.
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been underweighing (indicating less than correct weight),
they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the Contractor will be allowed for materials previously
weighed and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining scales; for furnishing
check weights and scale house; and for all other items specified in this subsection, for the weighing of
materials for proportioning or payment, shall be included in the unit contract prices for the various items of
the project.
When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the pay quantities in the
contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the work will be
made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the plans are revised by the Engineer.
If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of such work, the final quantities
for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the authorized changes in the dimensions.
Taxiway “C” GP- 43 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 90- Measurement and Payment
90-02 Scope of payment. 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 all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever character arising
out of the nature of the work or the execution thereof, subject to the provisions of the subsection 70-18
titled NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70.
When the “basis of payment” subsection of a technical specification requires that the contract price (price
bid) include compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, this same work or material will
not also be measured for payment under any other contract item which may appear elsewhere in the contract,
plans, or specifications.
90-03 Compensation for altered quantities. When the accepted quantities of work vary from the
quantities in the proposal, the Contractor shall accept as payment in full, so far as contract items are
concerned, payment at the original contract price for the accepted quantities of work actually completed
and accepted. No allowance, except as provided for in the subsection 40-02 titled ALTERATION OF
WORK AND QUANTITIES of Section 40 will be made for any increased expense, loss of expected
reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the Contractor which results directly
from such alterations or indirectly from his or her unbalanced allocation of overhead and profit among the
contract items, or from any other cause.
90-04 Payment for omitted items. As specified in the subsection 40-03 titled OMITTED ITEMS of
Section 40, the Engineer shall have the right to omit from the work (order nonperformance) any contract
item, except major contract items, in the best interest of the Owner.
Should the Engineer omit or order nonperformance of a contract item or portion of such item from the work,
the Contractor shall accept payment in full at the contract prices for any work actually completed and
acceptable prior to the Engineer’s order to omit or non-perform such contract item.
Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered on the work prior to the date of the Engineer’s
order will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor and shall thereupon become the property of the
Owner.
In addition to the reimbursement hereinbefore provided, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for all actual
costs incurred for the purpose of performing the omitted contract item prior to the date of the Engineer’s
order. Such additional costs incurred by the Contractor must be directly related to the deleted contract item
and shall be supported by certified statements by the Contractor as to the nature the amount of such costs.
90-05 Payment for extra work.
Extra work, performed in accordance with subsection 40-04 EXTRA WORK, will be paid for at the contract
prices or agreed prices specified in the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing the extra work.
When the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing the extra work requires that it be done by
force account, such force account shall be measured and paid for as follows (THE FOLLOWING
PAYMENT PROVISIONS APPLY ONLY WHERE THE NATURE OF THE EXTRA WORK IS SUCH
THAT IT CANNOT BE MEASURED AND PAID FOR ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACT UNIT
PRICES) :
a. Labor. For all labor (skilled and unskilled) and foremen in direct charge of a specific force account
item, the Contractor shall receive the rate of wage (or scale) for every hour that such labor or foreman is
actually engaged in the specified force account work. Such wage (or scale) shall be agreed upon in writing
before the beginning of the work.
The Contractor shall receive the actual costs paid to, or in behalf of, workers by reason of subsistence and
travel allowances, health and welfare benefits, pension fund benefits or other benefits, when such amounts
are required by collective bargaining agreement or other employment contract generally applicable to the
classes of labor employed on the work.
Taxiway “C” GP- 44 General Provisions

An amount equal to 15 percent of the sum of the above items will also be paid to the Contractor.
b. Insurance and Taxes. For property damage, liability, and workmen's compensation insurance pre-
miums, unemployment insurance contributions, and social security taxes on the force account work the
Contractor shall receive the actual cost, to which cost (sum) 5 percent will be added. The Contractor shall
furnish satisfactory evidence of the rate or rates paid for such insurance an taxes.
c. Materials. For materials accepted by the Engineer and then used, the Contractor shall receive the
actual cost of such material delivered on the work, including transportation charges paid by him (exclusive
of machinery rentals as hereinafter set forth), to which cost (sum) 15 percent will be added.
d. Equipment. For any machinery or special equipment (other than small tools) including fuel and
lubricants, plus transportation costs, the use of which has been authorized by the Engineer, the Contractor
shall receive the rental rates agreed upon in writing before such work is begun for the actual time that such
equipment is committed to the work, to which rental sum 15 percent will be added.
e. Miscellaneous. No additional allowance will be made for general superintendence, the use of small
tools, or other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided.
f. Comparison of Record. The Contractor and the 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 and the
Engineer or their duly authorized representatives.
g. Statement. No payment will be made for work performed on a force account basis until the Con-
tractor has furnished the Engineer with duplicate itemized statements of the cost of such force account work
detailed as follows:
(1) Name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours, rate and extension for each laborer and foreman.
(2) Designation, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate, and extension for each unit of machinery
and equipment
(3) Quantities of materials.

work but are taken from the Contractor's stock, then in lieu of the invoices the Contractor shall furnish an
affidavit certifying that such materials were taken from his/her stock, that the quantity claimed was actually
used, and that the price and transportation claimed represent the actual cost to the Contractor.
The additional payment, based on the percentages specified above, shall constitute full compensation for
all items of expense not specifically provided for the force account work. The total payment made as
provided above shall constitute full compensation for such work.
Taxiway “C” GP- 45 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 90- Measurement and Payment
90-06 Partial payments. Partial payments will be made to the Contractor at least once each month as the
work progresses. Said payments will be based upon estimates, prepared by the Engineer, of the value of the
work performed and materials complete and in place, in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifica-
tions. Such partial payments may also include the delivered actual cost of those materials stockpiled and
stored in accordance with the subsection 90-07 titled PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ON HAND of this
section. No partial payment will be made when the amount due to the Contractor since the last estimate
amounts to less than five hundred dollars.
The Contractor is required to pay all subcontractors for satisfactory performance of their contracts no later
than 30 days after the Contractor has received a partial payment. The Owner must ensure prompt and full
payment of retainage from the prime Contractor to the subcontractor within 30 days after the subcontrac-
tor’s work is satisfactorily completed. A subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed when all the tasks
called for in the subcontract have been accomplished and documented as required by the Owner. When the
Owner has made an incremental acceptance of a portion of a prime contract, the work of a subcontractor
covered by that acceptance is deemed to be satisfactorily completed.
From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a partial payment, 10 percent of such total amount
will be deducted and retained by the Owner until the final payment is made, except as may be provided (at
the Contractor’s option) in the subsection 90-08 titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section.
The balance [90%] of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be certified for payment. Should
the Contractor exercise his or her option, as provided in the subsection 90-08 titled PAYMENT OF
WITHHELD FUNDS of this section, no such percent retainage shall be deducted.
When at least 95% of the work has been completed, the Engineer shall, at the Owner’s discretion and with
the consent of the surety, prepare estimates of both the contract value and the cost of the remaining work
to be done.
The Owner may retain an amount not less than twice the contract value or estimated cost, whichever is
greater, of the work remaining to be done. The remainder, less all previous payments and deductions, will
then be certified for payment to the Contractor.
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive partial payment
based on quantities of work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by approved change
orders or supplemental agreements, except when such excess quantities have been determined by the Engi-
neer to be a part of the final quantity for the item of work in question.
No partial payment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or work in place as to quality
or quantity. All partial payments are subject to correction at the time of final payment as provided in the
subsection 90-09 titled ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT of this section.
The Contractor shall deliver to the Owner a complete release of all claims for labor and material arising out
of this contract before the final payment is made. If any subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish such a
release in full, the Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify
the Owner against any potential lien or other such claim. The bond or collateral shall include all costs,
expenses, and attorney fees the Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging any such lien or claim.
90-07 Payment for materials on hand. Partial payments may be made to the extent of the delivered cost
of materials to be incorporated in the work, provided that such materials meet the requirements of the
contract, plans, and specifications and are delivered to acceptable sites on the airport property or at other
sites in the vicinity that are acceptable to the Owner. Such delivered costs of stored or stockpiled materials
may be included in the next partial payment after the following conditions are met:
a. The material has been stored or stockpiled in a manner acceptable to the Engineer at or on an
approved site.
Taxiway “C” GP- 46 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 90- Measurement and Payment
b. The Contractor has furnished the Engineer with acceptable evidence of the quantity and quality of
such stored or stockpiled materials.
c. The Contractor has furnished the Engineer with satisfactory evidence that the material and
transportation costs have been paid.
d. The Contractor has furnished the Owner legal title (free of liens or encumbrances of any kind) to the
material so stored or stockpiled.
e. The Contractor has furnished the Owner evidence that the material so stored or stockpiled is insured
against loss by damage to or disappearance of such materials at any time prior to use in the work.
It is understood and agreed that the transfer of title and the Owner’s payment for such stored or stockpiled
materials shall in no way relieve the Contractor of his or her responsibility for furnishing and placing such
materials in accordance with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications.
In no case will the amount of partial payments for materials on hand exceed the contract price for such
materials or the contract price for the contract item in which the material is intended to be used.
No partial payment will be made for stored or stockpiled living or perishable plant materials.
The Contractor shall bear all costs associated with the partial payment of stored or stockpiled materials in
accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
90-08 Payment of withheld funds. At the Contractor’s option, if an Owner withholds retainage in accord-
ance with the methods described in subsection 90-06 PARTIAL PAYMENTS, the Contractor may request
that the Owner deposit the retainage into an escrow account. The Owner’s deposit of retainage into an
escrow account is subject to the following conditions:
a. The Contractor shall bear all expenses of establishing and maintaining an escrow account and escrow
agreement acceptable to the Owner.
b. The Contractor shall deposit to and maintain in such escrow only those securities or bank certificates
of deposit as are acceptable to the Owner and having a value not less than the retainage that would otherwise
be withheld from partial payment.
c. The Contractor shall enter into an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Owner.
d. The Contractor shall obtain the written consent of the surety to such agreement.
90-09 Acceptance and final payment. When the contract work has been accepted in accordance with the
requirements of the subsection 50-15 titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50, the Engineer will prepare
the final estimate of the items of work actually performed. The Contractor shall approve the Engineer’s
final estimate or advise the Engineer of the Contractor’s objections to the final estimate which are based on
disputes in measurements or computations of the final quantities to be paid under the contract as amended
by change order or supplemental agreement. The Contractor and the Engineer shall resolve all disputes (if
any) in the measurement and computation of final quantities to be paid within 30 calendar days of the
Contractor’s receipt of the Engineer’s final estimate. If, after such 30-day period, a dispute still exists, the
Contractor may approve the Engineer’s estimate under protest of the quantities in dispute, and such disputed
quantities shall be considered by the Owner as a claim in accordance with the subsection 50-16 titled
CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND DISPUTES of Section 50.
After the Contractor has approved, or approved under protest, the Engineer’s final estimate, and after the
Engineer’s receipt of the project closeout documentation required in subsection 90-11 Project Closeout,
final payment will be processed based on the entire sum, or the undisputed sum in case of approval under
protest, determined to be due the Contractor less all previous payments and all amounts to be deducted
Taxiway “C” GP- 47 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section 90- Measurement and Payment
under the provisions of the contract. All prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction
in the final estimate and payment.
If the Contractor has filed a claim for additional compensation under the provisions of the subsection 50-
16 titled CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENTS AND DISPUTES of Section 50 or under the provisions of this
subsection, such claims will be considered by the Owner in accordance with local laws or ordinances. Upon
final adjudication of such claims, any additional payment determined to be due the Contractor will be paid
pursuant to a supplemental final estimate.
90-10 Construction warranty.
a. In addition to any other warranties in this contract, the Contractor warrants that work performed
under this contract conforms to the contract requirements and is free of any defect in equipment, material,
workmanship, or design furnished, or performed by the Contractor or any subcontractor or supplier at any

Sebastian Municipal Airport Section110- Method of Estimating PWL
Section 110 Method of Estimating Percentage of Material Within Specifica-
tion Limits (PWL)
************************************************************************************
Spreadsheets for PWL calculations are available at the following website:
http://www.faa.gov/airports/engineering/design_software/.
************************************************************************************
110-01 General. When the specifications provide for acceptance of material based on the method of
estimating percentage of material within specification limits (PWL), the PWL will be determined in
accordance with this section. All test results for a lot will be analyzed statistically to determine the total
estimated percent of the lot that is within specification limits. The PWL is computed using the sample
average (X) and sample standard deviation (Sn) of the specified number (n) of sublots for the lot and the
specification tolerance limits, L for lower and U for upper, for the particular acceptance parameter. From
these values, the respective Quality index, QL for Lower Quality Index and/or QU for Upper Quality Index,
is computed and the PWL for the lot for the specified n is determined from Table 1. All specification limits
specified in the technical sections shall be absolute values. Test results used in the calculations shall be to
the significant figure given in the test procedure.
There is some degree of uncertainty (risk) in the measurement for acceptance because only a small fraction
of production material (the population) is sampled and tested. This uncertainty exists because all portions
of the production material have the same probability to be randomly sampled. The Contractor’s risk is the
probability that material produced at the acceptable quality level is rejected or subjected to a pay adjustment.
The Owner’s risk is the probability that material produced at the rejectable quality level is accepted.
It is the intent of this section to inform the Contractor that, in order to consistently offset the Contractor’s
risk for material evaluated, production quality (using population average and population standard deviation)
must be maintained at the acceptable quality specified or higher. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the
Contractor to produce at quality levels that will meet the specified acceptance criteria when sampled and
tested at the frequencies specified.
110-02 Method for computing PWL. The computational sequence for computing PWL is as follows:
a. Divide the lot into n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the specification.
b. Locate the random sampling position within the sublot in accordance with the requirements of the
specification.
c. Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the measurement on the test
portion in accordance with the testing requirements of the specification.
d. Find the sample average (X) for all sublot values within the lot by using the following formula:
X = (x1 + x2 + x3 + . . .xn) / n
Where: X = Sample average of all sublot values within a lot
x1, x2 = Individual sublot values
n = Number of sublots
Taxiways “C” GP- 58 General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport Section110- Method of Estimating PWL
e. Find the sample standard deviation (Sn) by use of the following formula:
Sn = [(d12 + d22 + d32 + . . .dn2)/(n-1)]1/2
Where: Sn = Sample standard deviation of the number of sublot values in the set
d1, d2 = Deviations of the individual sublot values x1, x2, … from the average value X
that is: d1 = (x1 - X), d2 = (x2 - X) … dn = (xn - X)
n = Number of sublots
f. For single sided specification limits (that is, L only), compute the Lower Quality Index QL by use of
the following formula:
QL = (X - L) / Sn
Where: L = specification lower tolerance limit
Estimate the percentage of material within limits (PWL) by entering Table 1 with QL, using the
column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements. If the value of QL falls between values shown
on the table, use the next higher value of PWL.
g. For double-sided specification limits (that is, L and U), compute the Quality Indexes QL and QU by
use of the following formulas:
QL = (X - L) / Sn
and
QU = (U - X) / Sn
Where: L and U = specification lower and upper tolerance limits
Estimate the percentage of material between the lower (L) and upper (U) tolerance limits (PWL)
by entering Table 1 separately with QL and QU, using the column appropriate to the total number (n) of
measurements, and determining the percent of material above PL and percent of material below PU for each
tolerance limit. If the values of QL fall between values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PL
or PU. Determine the PWL by use of the following formula:
PWL = (PU + PL) - 100
Where: PL = percent within lower specification limit
PU = percent within upper specification limit

A-1 = 96.60
2. Use n=4 and upper 5% significance level of to find the critical value for test criterion = 1.463.
3. Use average density, standard deviation, and test criterion value to evaluate density measurements.
a. For measurements greater than the average:
If (measurement - average)/(standard deviation) is less than test criterion,
then the measurement is not considered an outlier
For A-3, check if (99.30 - 97.95) / 1.15 is greater than 1.463.
Since 1.174 is less than 1.463, the value is not an outlier.
b. For measurements less than the average:
If (average - measurement)/(standard deviation) is less than test criterion,
then the measurement is not considered an outlier.
For A-1, check if (97.95 - 96.60) / 1.15 is greater than 1.463.
Since 1.435 is less than 1.463, the value is not an outlier.
Note: In this example, a measurement would be considered an outlier if the density were:
Greater than (97.95 + 1.463 × 1.15) = 99.63%
OR
less than (97.95 - 1.463 × 1.15) = 96.27%.

R EQUIREMENTS
Required Contract Provisions
Federal laws and regulations require that recipients of federal assistance (Sponsors) include specific
contract provisions in certain contracts, requests for proposals, or invitations to bid.
Certain provisions must be included in all sponsor contracts, regardless of whether or not the contracts
are federally-funded. This requirement was established when a sponsor accepted the Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) grant assurances.
To maintain eligibility of their procurement actions, a sponsor must incorporate applicable contract
provisions in all federally-assisted procurement and contract documents, including all subcontracts. For
purposes of determining requirements for contract provisions, the term contract includes subcontracts.
Sponsor Requirements
In general, the sponsor must:
1) Incorporate applicable contract provisions in each contract funded under AIP;
a. Except as noted herein, a sponsor must physically incorporate the text of the provision
within the procurement documents.
b. Where specifically noted, sponsors may incorporate select provisions by reference
provided the sponsor indicates that the reference has the same force and effect as if
given in full text.
2) Require the contractor (including all subcontractors) to insert these contract provisions in each
lower tier contracts ( e.g. subcontract or sub-agreement);
3) Require the contractor (or subcontractor) to incorporate the applicable requirements of these
contract provisions by reference for work done under any purchase orders, rental agreements
and other agreements for supplies or services;
4) Require that the prime contractor be responsible for compliance with these contract provisions
by any subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor or service provider;
5) Verify that any required local or State provision does not conflict with, or alter a Federal law or
regulation.
Incorporation of Provisions
The statutes and regulations that establish the requirements for contract provisions do not always
specify language the sponsor must use to address the requirement. Appendix A of this guide provides
information on when a provision or clause has mandatory language that a sponsor must apply. Refer to
the subheading Applicability for each provision.
Whenever a clause or provision has mandatory text, the sponsor must incorporate the text of the
provision without change. The only exception to this restriction is for those instances within the
provision text that require the sponsor to insert appropriate information such as name or value. To align
Taxiway “C” GP- 71 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
with the sponsor’s standard contract language, the word “Owner” may also be replaced with “Airport
Authority” or their standard method of referring to the sponsor in contracts. Any modification beyond
what is specifically permitted is not permitted and may invalidate the clause.
For those provisions that do not have required language, this guidance provides model language
acceptable to the FAA in meeting the intent and purpose of the law or regulation. Some sponsors may
already have standard procurement language that is equivalent to those Federal provisions that do not
have explicit mandatory language. In these cases, sponsors may use their existing standard procurement
provision language provided the text meets the intent and purpose of the Federal law or regulation.
Contract clause language must be made available to bidders. The Sponsor does this by including the
required language in Requests for Bids, Notices to Bidders, or in the contract.
Requests for Bids (Advertisement) and Notice to Bidders
The sponsor may incorporate certain provisions by reference in the Request for Bids (the Advertisement)
rather than including the entire text of the provision in the Request or Notice to Bidders. The sponsor
must incorporate the full text of these provisions within any contract that originates from the
procurement action. The provisions that can be incorporated by reference in the Request or Notice are:
1) Buy American Preference
2) Foreign Trade Restriction
3) Davis Bacon
4) Affirmative Action
5) Government-wide Debarment and Suspension
6) Government-wide Requirements for Drug-free Workplace
Requirements For All Contracts Entered into by Obligated Sponsors.
A sponsor’s acceptance of previous grant assurances obligates them to include certain notifications in all
contracts and procurement actions they undertake regardless of funding source. Contracts and
agreements fully funded by the sponsor must incorporate those select provisions.
Failure to Comply with Provisions
Sponsor failure to incorporate required provisions will jeopardize AIP eligibility of the sponsor’s project.
Contractor failure to comply with the terms of these contract provisions may be sufficient grounds to:
1) Withhold progress payments or final payment;
2) Terminate the contract for cause;
3) Seek suspension/debarment; or
4) Take other action determined to be appropriate by the sponsor or the FAA.

A1.1 SOURCE
2 CFR § 200.333
2 CFR § 200.336
FAA Order 5100.38
A1.2 APPLICABILITY
2 CFR § 200.333 requires a sponsor to retain records pertinent to a Federal award for a period of three
years from submission of final closure documents. 2 CFR § 200.336 establishes that sponsors must
provide Federal entities the right to access records pertinent to the Federal award. FAA policy extends
these requirements to the sponsor’s contracts and subcontracts of AIP funded projects.
Contract Types – The sponsor must include this provision in all contracts and subcontracts of AIP funded
projects.
Use of Provision – The regulation does not prescribe mandatory language, the following language is
acceptable to the FAA and meets the intent of this requirement. If the sponsor uses different language,
the sponsor’s language must fully satisfy the requirements of part 200.
A1.3 CONTRACT CLAUSE
ACCESS TO RECORDS AND REPORTS
The Contractor must maintain an acceptable cost accounting system. The Contractor agrees to provide
the sponsor, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Comptroller General of the United States or
any of their duly authorized representatives, access to any books, documents, papers, and records of the
contractor which are directly pertinent to the specific contract for the purpose of making audit,
examination, excerpts and transcriptions. The Contractor agrees to maintain all books, records and
reports required under this contract for a period of not less than three years after final payment is made
and all pending matters are closed.

41 CFR part 60-4
Executive Order 11246
A2.2 APPLICABILITY
Minority Participation. Sponsors are required to set goals for minority participation in AIP funded
projects. The goals for minority participation depend on Economic Area (EA) and Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area (SMSA) as established in Volume 45 of the Federal Register dated 10/3/80. Page 65984
contains a table of all EAs and SMSAs and the associated minority participation goals.
To find the goals for minority participation, a sponsor must either refer to the Federal Register Notice or
to the Department of Labor online document, “Participation Goals for Minorities and Females”. EA’s
and SMSA’s cross state boundaries so a sponsor may have to refer to entries for adjacent states to find
their project location.
A sponsor must insert the applicable percentage minority goal. Sponsor must not simply insert a
reference to the Federal Register Notice.
Female Participation. Executive Order 11246 has set a goal of 6.9% nationally for female participation
for all construction contractors. This value does not change per county or state.
Contract Types –
Construction: The sponsor must incorporate this notice in all solicitations for bids or requests for
proposals for AIP funded construction work contracts and subcontracts that exceed $10,000.
Construction work means construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension,
demolition or repair of buildings, highways, or other changes or improvements to real property,
including facilities providing utility services. The term also includes the supervision, inspection,
and other onsite functions incidental to the actual construction.
Equipment: The sponsor must incorporate this notice in any equipment project exceeding
$10,000 that involves installation of equipment onsite (e.g. electrical vault equipment). This
provision does not apply to equipment acquisition projects where the manufacture of the
equipment takes place offsite at the vendor plant (e.g. firefighting and snow removal vehicles)
Professional Services: The sponsor must incorporate this notice in any professional service
agreement if the professional service agreement includes construction work (as defined above)
that exceed $10,000. Examples include installation of noise monitoring systems.

Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
Property/Land: The sponsor must incorporate this notice in any agreement associated with land
acquisition if the agreement includes construction work (defined above) that exceeds $10,000.
Examples include demolition of structures or installation of boundary fencing.
Use of Provision – The sponsor must incorporate the text of this provision without modification. The
sponsor must incorporate the established minority participation goal and the covered area by
geographic name within the provision text.
A2.3 CONTRACT CLAUSE
NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION to
ENSURE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
1. The Offeror's or Bidder’s attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the "Standard
Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications" set forth herein.
2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the
contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as
follows:
Timetables
Goals for minority participation for each trade: 30.4%
Goals for female participation in each trade: 6.9%
These goals are applicable to all of the contractor's construction work (whether or not it is Federal or
federally-assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a
geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such
geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor
also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-federally involved construction.
The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be
based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations
required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours
of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of
the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities
and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees
from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's
goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4.
Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in
excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation.
The notification shall list the name, address, and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer
identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated

A3 BREACH OF CONTRACT TERMS
A3.1 SOURCE
2 CFR § 200 Appendix II(A)
A3.2 APPLICABILITY
This provision requires sponsors to incorporate administrative, contractual or legal remedies if
contractors violate or breach contract terms. The sponsor must also include appropriate sanctions and
penalties.
Contract Types – This provision is required for all contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition
threshold as stated in 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix II (A). This threshold is occasionally adjusted for
inflation, and is now equal to $150,000.
Use of Provision – The regulation does not prescribe mandatory language. The following language is
acceptable to the FAA and meets the intent of this requirement. If the sponsor uses different language,
the sponsor’s language must fully satisfy the requirements of part 200. Select either “contractor” or
“consultant” as applicable.
A3.3 CONTRACT CLAUSE
BREACH OF CONTRACT TERMS
Any violation or breach of terms of this contract on the part of the contractor or its subcontractors may
result in the suspension or termination of this contract or such other action that may be necessary to
enforce the rights of the parties of this agreement.
Owner will provide [Contractor | Consultant] written notice that describes the nature of the breach and
corrective actions the [Contractor | Consultant] must undertake in order to avoid termination of the
contract. Owner reserves the right to withhold payments to Contractor until such time the Contractor
corrects the breach or the Owner elects to terminate the contract. The Owner’s notice will identify a
specific date by which the [Contractor | Consultant] must correct the breach. Owner may proceed with
termination of the contract if the [Contractor | Consultant] fails to correct the breach by deadline
indicated in the Owner’s notice.

A4 BUY AMERICAN PREFERENCE
A4.1 SOURCE
Title 49 USC § 50101
A4.2 APPLICABILITY
The Buy-American Preference requirement in 49 USC § 50101 requires that all steel and manufactured
goods used on AIP projects be produced in the United States. The statute gives the FAA the ability to
issue a waiver to a sponsor to use non-domestic material on the AIP funded project. The sponsor may
request that the FAA issue a waiver from the Buy American Preference requirements if the FAA finds
that:
1) Applying the provision is not in the public interest;
2) The steel or manufactured goods are not available in sufficient quantity or quality in the United
States;
3) The cost of components and subcomponents produced in the United States is more than
60 percent of the total components of a facility or equipment, and final assembly has taken
place in the United States. Items that have an FAA standard specification item number (such as
specific airport lighting equipment) are considered the equipment.
4) Applying this provision would increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
Timing of Waiver Requests. The sponsor must submit Type 1 or Type 2 waiver requests before issuing a
solicitation for bids or a request for proposal for a project.
The sponsor must submit Type 3 or Type 4 waiver requests prior to executing the contract. The FAA will
generally not consider waiver requests after execution of the contract except where extraordinary only
if extenuating circumstances exist. The FAA cannot review incomplete waiver requests or requests that
the Sponsor has not reviewed for adequacy. Sponsor must assess the adequacy of the waiver request
before forwarding the request to the FAA.
Buy American Conformance List. The FAA Office of Airports maintains a listing of equipment that has
received National waivers from the Buy American Preference requirements or that fully meet the Buy
American requirements. This Buy American Conformance List is available online at
www.faa.gov/airports/aip/buy_american/. Products listed on the Buy American Conformance list do
not require a project specific Buy American Preference requirement waiver from the FAA.
Facility Waiver Requests. For construction of a facility, the sponsor may submit the waiver request
after bid opening, but prior to contract execution. Examples of facility construction include terminal
buildings, terminal renovation, and snow removal equipment buildings.
Contract Types –
Taxiway “C” GP- 79 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
Construction and Equipment - The sponsor must meet the Buy American Preference
requirements of 49 USC § 50101 for all AIP funded projects that require steel or manufactured
goods. The Buy America requirements flow down from the sponsor to first tier contractors, who
are responsible for ensuring that lower tier contractors and subcontractors are also in
compliance.
Note: the Buy American Preference does not apply to equipment a contractor uses as a tool of
their trade and does not remain as part of the project.
Professional Services – Professional service agreements (PSA) do not normally result in a
deliverable that meets the definition of a manufactured product. However, the emergence of
different project delivery methods has created situations where task deliverables may include a
manufactured product. If a PSA includes providing a manufactured good as part of the contract,
the sponsor must include the Buy American Preference provision in the agreement.
Property – Most land transactions do not involve acquiring a manufactured product. However,
under certain circumstances, a property acquisition project could result in the installation of a
manufactured product. For example, the installation of property fencing, gates, doors and locks,
etc. represent manufactured products acquired under the AIP funded project that must meet
the Buy American Preference.
Use of Provision – The regulation does not prescribe mandatory language, the following language is
acceptable to the FAA and meets the intent of this requirement. If the sponsor uses different language,
the sponsor’s revised language must fully comply with 49 USC § 50101.
There are two types of Buy American certifications. The sponsor must incorporate the appropriate
“Certificate of Buy America Compliance” in the solicitation:
• Projects for a facility (Buildings such as Terminal, SRE, ARFF, etc.) – Insert the Certificate of
Compliance Based on Total Facility
• Projects for non-facility development (non-building construction projects such as runway or
roadway construction; or equipment acquisition projects) – Insert the Certificate of Compliance
Based on Equipment and Materials Used on the Project.

2 CFR § 200, Appendix II(E)
A8.2 APPLICABILITY
Contract Workhours and Safety Standards Act Requirements, (CWHSSA) requires contractors and
subcontractors on covered contracts to pay laborers and mechanics employed in the performance of the
contracts one and one-half times their basic rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
CWHSSA prohibits unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous working conditions on federally assisted
projects. The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) within the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) enforces the
compensation requirements of this Act, while DOL's Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) enforces the safety and health requirements
Contract Types –
Construction - This provision applies to all contracts and lower tier contracts that exceed
$100,000, and employ laborers, mechanics, watchmen and guards.
Equipment - This provision applies to any equipment project exceeding $100,000 that involves
installation of equipment onsite (e.g. electrical vault equipment). This provision does not apply
to equipment acquisition projects where the manufacture of the equipment takes place offsite
at the vendor plant (e.g. ARFF and SRE vehicles)
Professional Services - This provision applies to professional service agreements that exceed
$100,000 and employs laborers, mechanics, watchmen and guards. This includes members of
survey crews and exploratory drilling operations.
Property – While most land transactions do not involve employment of laborers, mechanics,
watchmen and guards, under certain circumstances, a property acquisition project could require
such employment. Examples include the installation of property fencing or testing for
environmental contamination
Use of Provision – Sponsors must incorporate this text without modification.
A8.3 CONTRACT CLAUSE
CONTRACT WORKHOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT REQUIREMENTS
1. Overtime Requirements.
No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or
involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic,
including watchmen and guards, in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work
Taxiway “C” GP- 96 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a
rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty
hours in such workweek.
2. Violation; Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages.
In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause, the contractor and any
subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and
subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District
of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated
damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen
and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause, in the sum of
$10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the
standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set
forth in paragraph (1) of this clause.
3. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the Owner shall upon its own action or upon written
request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld,
from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any
such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally-
assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the
same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such
contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth
in paragraph 2 of this clause.
4. Subcontractors.
The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1)

A9 COPELAND “ANTI-KICKBACK” ACT
A9.1 SOURCE
2 CFR § 200, Appendix II(D)
29 CFR Parts 3 & 5
A9.2 APPLICABILITY and PURPOSE
The Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 40 U.S.C. 3145) makes it unlawful to induce by
force, intimidation, threat of dismissal from employment, or by any other manner, any person employed
in the construction or repair of public buildings or public works, financed in whole or in part by the
United States, to give up any part of the compensation to which that person is entitled under a contract
of employment. The Copeland Act also requires each contractor and subcontractor to furnish weekly a
statement of compliance with respect to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week.
Contract Types –
Construction – This provision applies to all construction contracts and subcontracts financed
under the AIP program that exceeds $2,000.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g. electrical vault
improvements) financed under the AIP program that exceeds $ 2, 000. This provision does not
apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant
(e.g. SRE and ARFF vehicles)
Professional Services - The emergence of different project delivery methods has created
situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSA) includes tasks that meet the definition
of construction, alteration or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that
qualifies as construction, alteration or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate
the Copeland Anti-kickback provision.
Property - Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or
mechanics and thus the Copeland Anti-Kickback provision would not apply. However, land
projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve
laborers and mechanics. The sponsor must include this provision if the land acquisition project
involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
Use of Provision – 29 CFR Part 5 establishes specific language a sponsor must use in construction
contracts. The sponsor may not make any modification to the standard language. A/E firms that
employ laborers and mechanics on a task that meets the definition of construction, alteration or repair
are acting as a contractor. The sponsor may not substitute the term “contractor” for “consultant” in
such instances.

and subcontractors are prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed on the project to
give up any part of the compensation to which the employee is entitled. The Contractor and each
Subcontractor must submit to the Owner, a weekly statement on the wages paid to each employee
performing on covered work during the prior week. Owner must report any violations of the Act to the
Federal Aviation Administration.

The Davis-Bacon Act ensures that laborers and mechanics employed under the contract receive pay no
less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits as determined by the Department of Labor.
Contract Types –
Construction - Incorporate into all construction contracts and subcontracts that exceed $2,000
and include funding from the AIP program.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g. electrical vault
improvements) financed under the AIP program that exceeds $ 2, 000. This provision does not
apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant
(e.g. SRE and ARFF vehicles)
Professional Services - The emergence of different project delivery methods has created
situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSA) includes tasks that meet the definition
of construction, alteration or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that
qualifies as construction, alteration or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate
this clause.
Property - Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or
mechanics and thus the provision would not apply. However, land projects that involve
installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve laborers and
mechanics. The sponsor must include this provision if the land acquisition project involves
employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
Fencing Projects - Fencing projects that exceed $2,000 must include this provision.
Use of Provision – 29 CFR Part 5 establishes specific language a sponsor must use. The sponsor may not
make any modification to the standard language. A/E firms that employ laborers and mechanics on a
task that meets the definition of construction, alteration or repair are acting as a contractor. The
sponsor may not substitute the term “contractor” for “consultant” in such instances.
A10.3 CONTRACT CLAUSE
DAVIS-BACON REQUIREMENTS
1. Minimum Wages
Taxiway “C” GP- 100 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any
account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland
Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalent
thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage
determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of
any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and
mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of
the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions
made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans,
funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or
incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage
rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed,
without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing
work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for
the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the
time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any
additional classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon
poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the
work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers,
which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be
classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an
additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria
have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the
wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to
the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or
their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the
amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by
the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action
Taxiway “C” GP- 101 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer
within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their
representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), the contracting officer shall
refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the
contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer
or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs
(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification
under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics
includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the
benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly
cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may
consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated
in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor
has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon
Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account
assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2 Withholding.
The Federal Aviation Administration or the sponsor shall upon its own action or upon written request of
an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the
contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other
Federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the
same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to
pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or
any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any
laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of
work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the Federal Aviation Administration may, after
written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to
cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have
ceased.
3. Payrolls and basic records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of
the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at
Taxiway “C” GP- 102 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each
such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of
contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types
described in 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions
made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv)
that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in
providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the
contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is
enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been
communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs
anticipated or the actual costs incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or
trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship
programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the
ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a
copy of all payrolls to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if
the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or
owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration. The payrolls
submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under
29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included
on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying
number for each employee (e.g. , the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The
required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH–347 is
available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is
responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and
subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered
worker, and shall provide them upon request to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a
party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit them to the
applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation
Administration, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes
of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this
section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security
numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring
government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner).
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the
contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons
employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29
CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) and
that such information is correct and complete;
Taxiway “C” GP- 103 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
(2) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice and trainee) employed on the
contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either
directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full
wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe
benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage
determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional
Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required
by paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to
civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United
States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (3)(i) of this
section available for inspection, copying or transcription by authorized representatives of the sponsor,
the Federal Aviation Administration or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives
to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to
submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to
the contractor, sponsor, applicant or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the
suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the
required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action
pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work
they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency
recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary
employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in
the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an
apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification
shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the
registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or
otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing
work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a
contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is
Taxiway “C” GP- 104 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified
in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be
paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship
program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the
full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the
Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification,
fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship
and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an
apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the
applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on
the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program
for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in
the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall
be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the
corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe
benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and
participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually
performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted
under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training
Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to
utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.
(iii) Equal Employment Opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under
this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order
11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30.

provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and
female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.

of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees shall be trained
pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.

by the union or, if referred, not employed by the contractor, this shall be documented in the file with
the reason therefore along with whatever additional actions the contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the

or female sent by the contractor, or when the contractor has other information that the union referral
process has impeded the contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area
which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship
and trainee programs relevant to the contractor's employment needs, especially those programs

publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with
all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by
posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location
where construction work is performed.

and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer, and vacation employment to minority and
female youth both on the site and in other areas of a contractor's workforce.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41
CFR Part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female
personnel, for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for,
through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel
practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and
employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the contractor's obligations under
these specifications are being carried out.

more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts of a contractor association,
joint contractor union, contractor community, or other similar groups of which the contractor is a
member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a
through 7p of these specifications provided that the contractor actively participates in the group, makes
every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women

minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and
timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions
taken on behalf of the contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the contractor's and failure of
such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor's noncompliance.
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The
contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action
for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority.
Consequently, if the particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even
though the contractor has achieved its goals for women generally,) the contractor may be in violation of
the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized.

Order 11246, as amended.
13. The contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific
affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these
specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment
opportunity. If the contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the
implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR
60-4.8.
14. The contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to

hereof as may be required by the Government, and to keep records. Records shall at least include for

15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which
establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of
local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the

the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by U.S.T.R, unless the Offeror has
knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an
award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct through the Owner cancellation of the
contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Taxiway “C” GP- 140 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
----------------------------------------------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or
"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
Taxiway “C” GP- 141 Required Contact Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport AIP Grants and Obligated Sponsors
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.

NPDES PERMIT CONFORMANCE
PART 1 - General Information:
A. The NPDES program is established under 40CFR122.2
B. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from
Construction Activities that are classified as “Associated with Industrial Activity.” This
Construction General Permit covers all areas administered by EPA Region 4, which includes
Florida. The Construction General Permit was published in Federal Register/Vol. 63, No.
61/Tuesday, March 31, 1998 and is available on EPA's web site or from the Owner.
C. The NPDES permit program requires a Construction General Permit if the construction activity
will disturb five acres or greater, or will disturb less than five acres but is part of a larger
common plan of development or sale whose total land disturbing activities total five acres or
greater (or is designated by the NPDES permitting authority); and will discharge storm water
runoff from the construction site into a municipal separate storm water sewer system (MS4) or
waters of the United States.
D. For this contract, the Engineer has determined that a Construction General Permit is required. It
is therefore required that the Contractor read the permit requirements in the Construction
General Permit cited in paragraph C, develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP), complete and submit a Notice of Intent (NOI), and complete and
submit a Notice of Termination (NOT).
E. Detailed guidance on the development of the SWPPP is contained in EPA Publication EPA 832-
R-92-005 dated September 1992, titled Storm Water Management for Construction Activities –
Developing Pollution Prevention Plans and Best Management Practices.
PART 2 - Specific Requirements:
A. The Contractor shall develop, implement and comply with a plan specifically designed for this
construction site and including Best Management Practices (BMPs) and controls which prevent
the pollution of storm water discharges.
B. The Contractor shall incorporate into the SWPPP all applicable requirements specified in state
or local sediment and erosion control plans or permits or storm water management plans or
permits. The Contractor shall submit a certification that the SWPPP reflects these requirements
and that these requirements will be complied with during the term of the contract.
C. Prior to commencement of construction, the SWPPP must be prepared and certified by the
Contractor. Notice of Intent (NOI) must be forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency
(with an information copy to the Owner) at least 48 hours prior to any land clearing.
D. Recordkeeping: The Contractor shall maintain the Plan and the associated records and reports,
including documentation of the required inspections. These documents shall be maintained at
Taxiway “C” 01095 - 2 NPDES Compliance
Sebastian Municipal Airport
the job site until the site is finally stabilized. Thereafter, the Contractor (Permittee) shall keep
the SWPPP and all reports for at least three years.
E. Report Submittal: The Contractor shall include with each payment request two (2) sets of
information copies of all required inspection reports, certifications and notifications. Inspection
reports to be submitted shall include both weekly reports and special reports required after
rainfall events in excess of 0.5”. The regulations specifically require an onsite rain gauge. It is
recommended that the Contractor record rainfall amount daily. Payment requests will not be
processed in the absence of these submittals.
F. When the construction activity has ceased and all areas affected by the work are stabilized, the
Contractor shall prepare, certify and submit the required Notice of Termination to the
Environmental Protection Agency and the Owner. Final payment application will not be
processed in the absence of these submissions.
G. Attached are two fact sheets from the EPA pertaining to the Construction General Permit, a
copy of the NOI and NOT, and EPA's "A Brief Guide to Requirements for Developing and
Implementation Pollution Prevention Plans for Construction Sites."

Excavation, Subgrade, and Embankment
DESCRIPTION
152-1.1 This item covers excavation, disposal, placement, and compaction of all materials within the limits
of the work required to construct safety areas, runways, taxiways, aprons, and intermediate areas as well as
other areas for drainage, building construction, parking, or other purposes in accordance with these
specifications and in conformity to the dimensions and typical sections shown on the plans.
152-1.2 Classification. All material excavated shall be classified as defined below:
a. Unclassified excavation. Unclassified excavation shall consist of the excavation and disposal of all
material, regardless of its nature which is not otherwise classified and paid for under one of the following
items.
e. Borrow excavation. Borrow excavation shall consist of approved material required for the
construction of embankments or for other portions of the work in excess of the quantity of usable material
available from required excavations. Borrow material shall be obtained from areas designated by the
Engineer within the limits of the airport property but outside the normal limits of necessary grading, or
from areas outside the airport boundaries.
152-1.3 Unsuitable excavation. Any material containing vegetable or organic matter, such as muck, peat,
organic silt, or sod shall be considered unsuitable for use in embankment construction. Material, suitable
for topsoil may be used on the embankment slope when approved by the Engineer.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
152-2.1 General. Before beginning excavation, grading, and embankment operations in any area, the entire
area within the limits of grading shall be stripped of the top 4 inches or to depths directed by the engineer
of material which is to be stockpiled in onsite locations designated on the drawings or as directed by the
engineer for use as topsoil, or placed directly as topsoil. Excess topsoil shall be used in the embankment
outside limits of pavements or disposed of off airport property at no additional cost to the Owner.
The suitability of material to be placed in embankments shall be subject to approval by the Engineer.
Unsuitable material approved by the Engineer for use as topsoil shall be stockpiled in onsite locations
designated on the drawings or where directed by the Engineer, or shall be placed directly in its final position
as topsoil. All unsuitable material excavated from the site and not approved for use as topsoil shall be
disposed of off airport property and shall be paid for under item P-152-2 “Unsuitable Excavation” .
Topsoil stockpiles shall be kept separate from other stockpiles. All stockpile areas shall be graded to allow
positive drainage of the area and of adjacent areas. Stockpiles shall not be placed within 65.5 feet of the
centerline of any taxiway or within 250 feet of the centerline of Runway 5-23 or 200 ft of the centerline of
Runway 10-28. Silt fence, in accordance with the plans, shall be constructed at the perimeter of all stockpile
areas where directed by the Engineer. At the conclusion of excavation and embankment operations, all
material remaining in stockpile areas shall be disposed of off Airport property at no additional cost to the
Owner.
Taxiway “C” P-152-2 Excavation, Subgrade, and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport
When the Contractor’s excavating operations encounter artifacts of historical or archaeological
significance, the operations shall be temporarily discontinued and the Engineer notified per subsection 70-
20. At the direction of the Engineer, the Contractor shall excavate the site in such a manner as to preserve
the artifacts encountered and allow for their removal. Such excavation will be paid for as extra work.
Those areas outside of the limits of the pavement areas where the top layer of soil material has become
compacted by hauling or other Contractor activities shall be scarified and disked to a depth of 4 inches (100
mm), to loosen and pulverize the soil.
If it is necessary to interrupt existing surface drainage, sewers or under-drainage, conduits, utilities, or
similar underground structures, the Contractor shall be responsible for and shall take all necessary
precautions to preserve them or provide temporary services. When such facilities are encountered, the
Contractor shall notify the Engineer, who shall arrange for their removal if necessary. The Contractor, at
his or her expense, shall satisfactorily repair or pay the cost of all damage to such facilities or structures
that may result from any of the Contractor’s operations during the period of the contract.
For the purpose of determining compaction control in excavation and embankment areas, noncohesive
soils are defined as those with a plasticity index (PI) of less than 6 when tested in accordance with ASTM
D 4318; cohesive soils are soils having a plasticity index of 6 or more.
152-2.2 Excavation. No excavation shall be started until the work has been staked out by the Contractor
and the Engineer has obtained from the Contractor, the survey notes of the elevations and measurements of
the ground surface. All areas to be excavated shall be stripped of vegetation and topsoil. Topsoil shall be
stockpiled for future use in areas designated on the plans or by the Engineer. All suitable excavated material
shall be used in the formation of embankment, subgrade, or other purposes shown on the plans. All
unsuitable material shall be disposed of as specified in subsection 152-2.1.
When the volume of the excavation exceeds that required to construct the embankments to the grades
indicated, the excess shall be used to grade the areas of ultimate development or disposed as indicated on
the plans or as specified. When the volume of excavation is not sufficient for constructing the embankments
to the grades indicated, the deficiency shall be obtained from borrow areas.
The grade shall be maintained so that the surface is well drained at all times. When necessary, temporary
drains and drainage ditches shall be installed to intercept or divert surface water that may affect the work.
a. Selective grading. When selective grading is indicated on the plans, the more suitable material
designated by the Engineer shall be used in constructing the embankment or in capping the pavement
subgrade. If, at the time of excavation, it is not possible to place this material in its final location, it shall
be stockpiled in approved areas so that it can be measured for payment as specified in paragraph 152-3.3.
b. Undercutting. Rock, shale, hardpan, loose rock, boulders, or other material unsatisfactory for safety
areas, subgrades, roads, shoulders, or any areas intended for turf shall be excavated to a minimum depth of
12 inches (300 mm) below the subgrade or to the depth specified by the Engineer. Muck, peat, matted roots,
or other yielding material, unsatisfactory for subgrade foundation, shall be removed to the depth specified.
Unsuitable materials shall be disposed off the airport. The cost is incidental to this item. This excavated
material shall be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard (per cubic meter) for item P-152-2
“Unsuitable Excavation”. The excavated area shall be backfilled with suitable material obtained from the
grading operations or borrow areas and compacted to specified densities. The necessary backfill will
constitute a part of the embankment. Where rock cuts are made, backfill with select material. Any pockets
created in the rock surface shall be drained in accordance with the details shown on the plans.

c. Overbreak. Overbreak, including slides, is that portion of any material displaced or loosened beyond
the finished work as planned or authorized by the Engineer. All overbreak shall be graded or removed by
the Contractor and disposed of as directed by the Engineer. The Engineer shall determine if the
displacement of such material was unavoidable and his or her decision shall be final. Payment will not be
made for the removal and disposal of overbreak that the Engineer determines as avoidable. Unavoidable
overbreak will be classified as “Unclassified Excavation.”
d. Removal of utilities. The removal of existing structures and utilities required to permit the orderly
progress of work will be accomplished by someone other than the Contractor; for example, the utility unless
otherwise shown on the plans. All existing foundations shall be excavated at least 2 feet (60 cm) below the
top of subgrade or as indicated on the plans, and the material disposed of as directed by the Engineer. All
foundations thus excavated shall be backfilled with suitable material and compacted as specified.
e. Compaction requirements. The subgrade under areas to be paved shall be compacted to a depth of
10 inches below the bottom of the base course and to a density of not less than 95% percent of the maximum
density as determined by ASTMD698. From a depth of 10” to 19” the subgrade shall be compacted to a
density of not less than 90%. The material to be compacted shall be within ±2% of optimum moisture
content before being rolled to obtain the prescribed compaction (except for expansive soils). If the natural
in-place soil cannot be compacted to these densities, this material shall be undercut when directed by the
Engineer and disposed of off airport property. The undercut material shall be paid for under item P-152-2
“Unsuitable Excavation”.
The in-place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D1556 or ASTM D2167
or ASTM D6938 using Procedure A, the direct transmission method, and ASTM D6938 shall be used to
determine the moisture content of the material. The machine shall be calibrated in accordance with ASTM
D6938. Stones or rock fragments larger than 4 inches (100 mm) in their greatest dimension will not be
permitted in the top 6 inches (150 mm) of the subgrade. The finished grading operations, conforming to the
typical cross-section, shall be completed and maintained at least 1,000 feet (300 m) ahead of the paving
operations or as directed by the Engineer.
All loose or protruding rocks on the back slopes of cuts shall be pried loose or otherwise removed to the
slope finished grade line. All cut-and-fill slopes shall be uniformly dressed to the slope, cross-section, and
alignment shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
Blasting shall not be allowed.
f. Proof rolling. After compaction is completed, the subgrade area shall be proof rolled with a 20 ton
Tandem axle Dual Wheel Dump Truck loaded to the legal limit with tires inflated to 80 psi in the presence
of the Engineer. Apply a minimum of 4 coverages, or as specified by the Engineer, to all paved areas. A
coverage is defined as the application of one tire print over the designated area. Soft areas of subgrade that
deflect more than 1 inch (25 mm) or show permanent deformation greater than 1 inch (25 mm) shall be
removed and replaced with suitable material or reworked to conform to the moisture content and
compaction requirements in accordance with these specifications.
152-2.3 Borrow excavation. Borrow material is not available on airport property.When borrow sources
are outside the boundaries of the airport property, it shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to locate and
obtain the borrow sources, subject to the approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer
at least 15 days prior to beginning the excavation so necessary measurements and tests can be made. All
borrow pits shall be opened up to expose the various strata of acceptable material to allow obtaining a
uniform product. All unsuitable material shall be disposed of by the Contractor. Borrow pits shall be
Taxiway “C” P-152-4 Excavation, Subgrade, and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport
excavated to regular lines to permit accurate measurements, and they shall be drained and left in a neat,
presentable condition with all slopes dressed uniformly.
152-2.4 Drainage excavation. Drainage excavation shall consist of excavating for drainage ditches such
as intercepting; inlet or outlet ditches; for temporary levee construction; or for any other type as designed
or as shown on the plans. The work shall be performed in sequence with the other construction. Intercepting
ditches shall be constructed prior to starting adjacent excavation operations. All satisfactory material shall
be placed in embankment fills; unsuitable material shall be placed in designated waste areas or as directed
by the Engineer. All necessary work shall be performed true to final line, elevation, and cross-section. The
Contractor shall maintain ditches constructed on the project to the required cross-section and shall keep
them free of debris or obstructions until the project is accepted.
152-2.5 Preparation of embankment area. Where an embankment is to be constructed, the top layer
topsoil, sod and vegetable matter shall be stripped as specified in 152-2.1 from the surface upon which the
embankment is to be placed, and the cleared surface shall be completely broken up by plowing or scarifying
to a minimum depth of 6 inches. This area shall then be compacted as indicated in paragraph 152-2.6.
Sloped surfaces steeper than one (1) vertical to four (4) horizontal shall be plowed, stepped, benched, or
broken up so that the fill material will bond with the existing material. When the subgrade is part fill and
part excavation or natural ground, the excavated or natural ground portion shall be scarified to a depth of
12 inches (300 mm) and compacted as specified for the adjacent fill.
No direct payment shall be made for the work performed under this section. The necessary clearing and
grubbing and the quantity of excavation removed will be paid for under the respective items of work.
152-2.6 Formation of embankments. Embankments shall be formed in successive horizontal layers of not
more than 8 inches (200 mm) in loose depth for the full width of the cross-section, unless otherwise
approved by the Engineer.
The layers shall be placed, to produce a soil structure as shown on the typical cross-section or as directed
by the Engineer. Materials such as brush, hedge, roots, stumps, grass and other organic matter, shall not be
incorporated or buried in the embankment.
Earthwork operations shall be suspended at any time when satisfactory results cannot be obtained because
of rain, freezing, or other unsatisfactory weather conditions in the field. Frozen material shall not be placed
in the embankment nor shall embankment be placed upon frozen material. Material shall not be placed on
surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or contain frost. The Contractor shall drag, blade, or slope the embankment
to provide surface drainage at all times.
The material in each layer shall be within ±2% of optimum moisture content before rolling to obtain the
prescribed compaction. To achieve a uniform moisture content throughout the layer, the material shall be
moistened or aerated as necessary. Samples of all embankment materials for testing, both before and after
placement and compaction, will be taken for each 1000 square yards. Based on these tests, the Contractor
shall make the necessary corrections and adjustments in methods, materials or moisture content to achieve
the specified embankment density.
Rolling operations shall be continued until the embankment is compacted to not less than 95% of maximum
density for noncohesive soils, and 90% of maximum density for cohesive soils as determined by ASTM
D698. Under all areas to be paved, the embankments shall be compacted to the requirements specified in
paragraph P-152-2.2e.
Taxiway “C” P-152-5 Excavation, Subgrade, and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport
On all areas outside of the pavement areas, no compaction will be required on the top 4 inches (100 mm).
The in-place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D1556, ASTM
D2167 or ASTM 6938 using Procedure A, the direct transmission method, and ASTM D6938 shall be
used to determine the moisture content of the material. The machine shall be calibrated in accordance with
ASTM D6938. The Engineer shall perform all density tests.
Compaction areas shall be kept separate, and no layer shall be covered by another layer until the proper
density is obtained.
During construction of the embankment, the Contractor shall route all construction equipment evenly over
the entire width of the embankment as each layer is placed. Layer placement shall begin in the deepest
portion of the embankment fill. As placement progresses, the layers shall be constructed approximately
parallel to the finished pavement grade line.
When rock and other embankment material are excavated at approximately the same time, the rock shall be
incorporated into the outer portion of the embankment and the other material shall be incorporated under
the future paved areas. Stones or fragmentary rock larger than 4 inches (100 mm) in their greatest
dimensions will not be allowed in the top 6 inches (150 mm) of the subgrade. Rockfill shall be brought up
in layers as specified or as directed by the Engineer and the finer material shall be used to fill the voids with
forming a dense, compact mass. Rock or boulders shall not be disposed of outside the excavation or
embankment areas, except at places and in the manner designated on the plans or by the Engineer.
When the excavated material consists predominantly of rock fragments of such size that the material cannot
be placed in layers of the prescribed thickness without crushing, pulverizing or further breaking down the
pieces, such material may be placed in the embankment as directed in layers not exceeding 2 feet (60 cm)
in thickness. Each layer shall be leveled and smoothed with suitable equipment by distribution of spalls and
finer fragments of rock. The layer shall not be constructed above an elevation 4 feet (1.2 m) below the
finished subgrade.
Payment for compacted embankment will be made under embankment in-place and no payment will be
made for excavation, borrow, or other items.
152-2.7 Finishing and protection of subgrade. After the subgrade is substantially complete, the
Contractor shall remove any soft or other unstable material over the full width of the subgrade that will not
compact properly. All low areas, holes or depressions in the subgrade shall be brought to grade with suitable
select material. Scarifying, blading, rolling and other methods shall be performed to provide a thoroughly
compacted subgrade shaped to the lines and grades shown on the plans.
Grading of the subgrade shall be performed so that it will drain readily. The Contractor shall protect the
subgrade from damage and limit hauling over the finished subgrade to only traffic essential for construction
purposes. All ruts or rough places that develop in the completed subgrade shall be graded and recompacted.
No subbase, base, or surface course shall be placed on the subgrade until the subgrade has been approved
by the Engineer.
152-2.8 Haul. All hauling will be considered a necessary and incidental part of the work. The Contractor
shall include the cost in the contract unit price for the pay of items of work involved. No payment will be
made separately or directly for hauling on any part of the work.
152-2.9 Tolerances. In those areas upon which a subbase or base course is to be placed, the top of the
subgrade shall be of such smoothness that, when tested with a 12-foot (3.7-m) straightedge applied parallel
and at right angles to the centerline, it shall not show any deviation in excess of 1/2 inch (12 mm), or shall
not be more than 0.05 feet (15 mm) from true grade as established by grade hubs. Any deviation in excess
Taxiway “C” P-152-6 Excavation, Subgrade, and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport
of these amounts shall be corrected by loosening, adding, or removing materials; reshaping; and
recompacting.
On safety areas, intermediate and other designated areas, the surface shall be of such smoothness that it will
not vary more than 0.10 feet (3 mm) from true grade as established by grade hubs. Any deviation in excess
of this amount shall be corrected by loosening, adding or removing materials, and reshaping.
152-2.10 Topsoil. When topsoil is specified or required as shown on the plans or under Item T-905, it shall
be salvaged from stripping or other grading operations. The topsoil shall meet the requirements of Item T-
905. If, at the time of excavation or stripping, the topsoil cannot be placed in its final section of finished
construction, the material shall be stockpiled at approved locations. Stockpile locations shall be subject to
restriction specified in 152-2.1 and shall not be placed on areas that subsequently will require any
excavation or embankment fill. If, in the judgment of the Engineer, it is practical to place the salvaged
topsoil at the time of excavation or stripping, the material shall be placed in its final position without
stockpiling or further rehandling.
Upon completion of grading operations, stockpiled topsoil shall be handled and placed as directed, or as
required in Item T-905.
No direct payment will be made for topsoil under Item P-152. The quantity removed and placed directly as
topsoil shall be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard for as “Topsoiling” under item T-905.
No additional payment for stockpiling and rehandling of topsoil strippings will be made. When stockpiling
of topsoil and later rehandling of such material is directed by the Engineer, the material so rehandled shall
be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard (cubic meter) for “topsoiling,” as provided in Item T-
905.
The quantity of topsoil strippings removed and placed directly in the embankment or stockpiled and later
rehandled for placement in the embankment outside the pavement limits shall be paid for at the contract
unit price per cubic yard for “ Embankment in Place”
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
152-3.1 The quantity of compacted embankment in-place to be paid for shall be the number of cubic yards
measured in its final position.
152-3.2 The quantity of unsuitable excavation to be paid for shall be the number of cubic yards (cubic
meters) measured in its original position. Measurement shall not include the quantity of materials excavated

Item P-160
Subgrade Stabilization
DESCRIPTION
160-1.1 Scope. The work specified in this section consists of the stabilizing of designated portions of the
pavement subgrade to provide a firm and unyielding subgrade having the required bearing value specified in
the plans. The work shall be constructed in accordance with these specifications and the lines, grades,
thicknesses and notes shown in the plan.
160-2.1 Stabilized Subgrade. For stabilized subgrade, the type of materials, commercial or local, is at the
Contractor's option and no separate payment for stabilizing materials will be made. Compliance with the
bearing value requirements will be determined by the Limerock Bearing Ratio Method.
It is the Contractor's responsibility that the finished pavement subgrade section meets the bearing value
requirements, regardless of the quantity of stabilizing materials necessary to be added. Also, full payment
will be made for any areas where the existing subgrade materials meet the design bearing value requirements
without the addition of stabilizing additives, as well as areas where the Contractor may elect to place select
high-bearing value materials from other sources, within the limits of the stabilizing.
After the grading operations have been substantially completed, the Contractor shall make his own
determination as to the quantity (if any) of stabilizing material necessary for compliance with the bearing
value requirements. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of the approximate quantity to be added. The
spreading and mixing in of such quantity of materials shall meet the approval of the Engineer as to uniformity
and effectiveness.
MATERIALS
160-3.1 Commercial & Local Materials. The particular type of stabilizing material to be used shall meet the
requirements of Item P-211, or an approved equal.
160-3.2 Use of Materials from Existing Base. When the utilization of materials from an existing base is
permitted (as all or portion of the stabilizing additives), the Engineer will approve the locations, placing and
distribution of such materials and this work shall be done prior to the spreading of any additional commercial
or local materials.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
160-4.1 General. Prior to the beginning of stabilizing operations, the area to be stabilized shall have been
constructed to an elevation such that upon completion of stabilizing operations the completed stabilized
subgrade will conform to the lines, grades and cross-section shown in the plans. Prior to the spreading of any
additive stabilizing material, the surface of the pavement subgrade shall be brought to a plane approximately
parallel to the plane of the finished surface.
Taxiway “C” P-160 - 2 Subgrade Stabilization
Sebastian Municipal Airport
The subgrade to be stabilized may be processed in one course unless the equipment and methods being used
do not provide the required uniformity, particle size limitation, compaction and other desired results, in which
case, the processing shall be done in more than one course.
160-4.2 Application of Stabilizing Material. When additive stabilizing materials are required, the designated
quantity shall be spread uniformly over the area to be stabilized.
When materials from an existing base are to be utilized in the stabilizing at a particular location, all of such
materials shall be placed and spread prior to the addition of other stabilizing additives.
Commercial stabilizing material shall be spread by the use of mechanical material spreaders except that where
use of such equipment is not practicable. Other means of spreading may be used, but only upon written
approval of the proposed alternate method.
160-4.3 Mixing. The mixing shall be done with rotary tillers or other equipment meeting the approval of the
Engineer. At the Contractor's election, the mixing of the materials may be accomplished in a plant of an
approved type suitable for this work. The area to be stabilized shall be thoroughly mixed throughout the
entire depth and width of the stabilizing limits.
The mixing operations, as specified, (either in place or in a plant) will be required regardless of whether the
existing soil, or any select soils placed within the limits of the stabilized sections, have the required bearing
value without the addition of stabilizing materials.
As an exception to the above mixing requirements, where the subgrade is of rock, the Engineer may direct
that the mixing operations (and the work of stabilizing) be waived and no payment for stabilizing will be
made for such sections of the area to be paved.
160-4.4 Maximum Particle Size of Mixed Materials. At the completion of mixing, all particles of materials
within the limits of the area to be stabilized shall pass a 3-1/2 inch ring. Any particles not meeting this
requirement shall be removed from the stabilized area or shall be broken down so as to meet this requirement.
160-4.5 Compaction. After the mixing operations have been completed and requirements for bearing value,
uniformity and particle size have been satisfied, the stabilized area shall be compacted in accordance with
160-6.1.
The materials shall be compacted at a moisture content permitting the specified compaction. If the moisture
content of the material is improper for attaining the specified density, either water shall be added or the
material shall be permitted to dry until the proper moisture content for the specified compaction is reached.
160-4.6 Finish Grading. The completed stabilized subgrade shall be shaped to conform with the finished
lines, grade and cross-section indicated in the plans. The subgrade shall be checked by the use of elevation
stakes or other means approved by the Engineer.
160-4.7 Requirements for Condition of Completed Subgrade. After the stabilizing and compacting operations
have been completed, the subgrade shall be firm and substantially unyielding to the extent that it will support
construction equipment and will have the bearing value required by the plans.
All soft and yielding materials and any other portions of the subgrade which will not compact readily shall be
Taxiway “C” P-160 - 3 Subgrade Stabilization
Sebastian Municipal Airport
removed and replaced with suitable material and the whole subgrade brought to line and grade with proper
allowance for subsequent compaction.
160-4.8 Maintenance of Completed Subgrade. After the subgrade has been completed as specified above, the
Contractor shall maintain it free from ruts, depressions and any damage resulting from the hauling or handling
of materials, equipment, tools, etc. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to maintain the required density
until the subsequent base or pavement is in place. Such responsibility shall include any repairs, replacement,
etc., of curb and gutter, sidewalk, etc. which might become necessary in order to recompact the subgrade in
the event of underwash or other damage occurring to the previously compacted subgrade.
Any such work required for recompaction shall be at the Contractor's expense. Ditches and drains shall be
constructed and maintained along the completed subgrade section.
160-5.1 Bearing Value Requirements. Bearing value samples will be obtained and tested by the Engineer at
completion of satisfactory mixing of the stabilized area. For any area where the bearing value obtained is
deficient from the indicate in the plans in excess of the tolerances established herein, additional stabilizing
material shall be spread and mixed in accordance with 160.4.3. This reprocessing shall be done for the full
width of the pavement area being stabilized and longitudinally for a distance of fifty feet (50') beyond the
limits of the area in which the bearing value is deficient.
The Contractor shall make his own determination of the quantity of additional stabilizing material to be used
in reprocessing.
160-5.2 Tolerances Bearing Value Requirements. The following under tolerances from the specified bearing
value will be allowed on individual tests performed on samples obtained after mixing operations have been
completed:

necessary sprinkling shall be kept within this limit. No material shall be placed in snow or on a soft, muddy,
or frozen course. When more than one layer is required, the construction procedure described here shall
apply to each layer.
The Contractor’s accredited laboratory shall conduct tests to determine the maximum density and the proper
moisture content of the base material, and provide this information to the Engineer upon completion of the
test for acceptance determination. The base material shall be brought to a satisfactory moisture content
before rolling begins. Any minor variations in moisture content prior to or during rolling shall be corrected
by sprinkling or aeration.
During placing and spreading operations the Contractor shall prevent the incorporation of subgrade,
subbase, or shoulder material into the base course mixture.
212-3.6 Compaction. Immediately after completion of the spreading operations, the base course shall be
thoroughly compacted. The number, type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the mixture
to the required density.
The field density of the compacted material shall be at least 100% of the maximum density of laboratory
specimens prepared from samples of the base material. The laboratory specimens shall be compacted and
Taxiway “C” P-212-3 Shell Base Course

tested per ASTM D698. The in-place field density shall be determined per ASTM D1556. The moisture
content of the material at the start of compaction shall be within ±1-1/2 percentage points of the optimum
moisture content.
212-3.7 Acceptance sampling and testing for density. Aggregate base course shall be accepted for density
on a lot basis. A lot will consist of one day’s production if it does not exceed 2400 square yards (2000 sq
m). A lot will consist of one-half day’s production if a day’s production is between 2400 and 4800 square
yards (2000 and 4000 sq m). The Engineer shall perform all density tests .
Each lot shall be divided into two equal sublots. One test shall be made for each sublot and shall consists
of the average of two random locations for density determination. Sampling locations will be determined
by the Engineer on a random basis per ASTM D3665.
Each lot shall be accepted for density when the field density is at least 100% of the maximum density of
laboratory specimens compacted and tested per ASTM D698. The in-place field density shall be determined
per ASTM D1556(Test in accordance with ASTM D4718 if greater than 30% is retained on the 3/4 inch
sieve) or ASTM D2167 or ASTM D6938. If the specified density is not attained, the entire lot shall be
reworked and/or recompacted and two additional random tests made. This procedure shall be followed until
the specified density is reached.
*
212-3.8 Surface tolerance.
After the course has been compacted, the surface shall be tested for smoothness and accuracy of grade and
crown. Any portion lacking the required smoothness or failing in accuracy of grade or crown shall be
scarified to a depth of at least 3 inches (75 mm), reshaped and recompacted to grade. until the required
smoothness and accuracy are obtained and approved by the Engineer. Any deviation in surface tolerances
shall be corrected by the Contractor at the Contractor’s expense. The smoothness and accuracy requirements
specified here apply only to the top layer when base course is constructed in more than one layer.
a. Smoothness. The finished surface shall not vary more than 3/8 inch (9 mm) when tested with a 12-
foot (3.7-m) straightedge applied parallel with and at right angles to the centerline. The straightedge shall
be moved continuously at half the length of the 12-foot (3.7-m) straightedge for the full length of each line
on a 50-foot [ 15 meter ] grid.
b. Accuracy. The grade and crown shall be measured on a 50-foot (15-m) grid and shall be within +0
and -1/2 inch (12 mm) of the specified grade.
212-3.9 Thickness control. The thickness of the base course shall be determined by depth tests or cores
taken by the Contractor in the presence of the Engineer. Test shall be taken at intervals representing no
more than 300 square yards (250 sq m) per test. When the base course is more than 1/2 inch (12 mm)
deficient, the Contractor shall correct such areas by scarifying, and replacing with satisfactory materials,
and then rolling, bonding, and refinishing per these specifications. The base material where depth tests or
cores have been taken shall be replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
212-3.10 Protection. Perform construction when the atmospheric temperature is above 35°F (2°C). When
the temperature falls below 35°F (2°C), protect all completed areas by approved methods against
detrimental effects of freezing. The Contractor shall correct completed areas damaged by freezing, rainfall,
or other weather conditions to meet specified requirements. The construction shall be stopped when the

To protect the existing layers and to ensure proper drainage, the spreading of the recycled concrete
aggregate base course shall begin along the centerline of the pavement on a crowned section or on the
greatest contour elevation of a pavement with a variable uniform cross slope.
219-4.3 Grade control. Grade control between the edges of the recycled concrete aggregate base course
lanes shall be accomplished by grade stakes, steel pins, or forms placed in lanes parallel to the centerline
and at intervals of 50 feet (15 m) or less on the longitudinal grade and 25 feet (7.5 m) or less on the
transverse grade.
219-4.4 Mixing. The recycled concrete shall be uniformly blended during crushing operations and mixed
with water in a mixing plant suitable for recycled concrete aggregate. The plant shall blend and mix the
materials to meet the specifications and to secure the proper moisture content for compaction.
219-4.5 Placing. The recycled concrete aggregate base material shall be placed on the moistened subgrade
or base in layers of uniform thickness with an approved mechanical spreader.
The maximum depth of a compacted layer shall be 6 inches (150 mm). If the total depth of the compacted
material is more than 6 inches (150 mm), it shall be constructed in two or more layers. In multi-layer
construction, the material shall be placed in approximately equal-depth layers.
The previously constructed layer shall be cleaned of loose and foreign material prior to placing the next
layer. The surface of the compacted material shall be kept moist until covered with the next layer.

Sebastian Municipal Airport
Adjustments in placing procedures or equipment shall be made to obtain grades, to minimize segregation
grading, to adjust the water content, and to ensure an acceptable recycled concrete aggregate base course.
219-4.6 Compaction. Immediately after completion of the spreading operations, the recycled concrete
aggregate shall be compacted. The number, type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the
material to the required density.
Each layer of the recycled concrete aggregate base course shall be compacted to the required density using
the compaction equipment. The moisture content of the material during placing operations shall be within
±1-1/2 percentage points of the optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D698.
The compaction shall continue until each layer has reached compaction that is at least 100% of the
laboratory maximum density through the full depth of the layer. The Contractor shall make adjustments in
compacting or finishing techniques to obtain true grades, to minimize segregation and degradation, to
reduce or increase water content and to ensure a satisfactory base course. Any unsatisfactory materials shall
be removed and replaced with satisfactory material or reworked, to meet the requirements of this
specification.
219-4.7 Acceptance sampling and testing for density. The Engineer shall perform all density tests.
Recycled concrete aggregate shall be accepted for density on a lot basis. A lot will consist of one day’s
production where it does not exceed 2,400 square yards (2000 sq m) per lift. A lot will consist of one-half
day’s production, where a day’s production is between 2,400 and 4,800 square yards (2000 and 4000 sq m)
per lift.
Each lot shall be divided into two equal sublots. One density test shall be made for each sublot and shall
consist of the average of two random locations for density determination. Sampling locations will be
determined by the Engineer on a random basis per ASTM D3665.
Each lot will be accepted for gradation when it falls within the limits and tolerances shown in the table
above when tested per ASTM C117 and ASTM C131. If the proper gradation is not attained the gradation
test will be repeated. If the re-test does not indicate gradations within the limits of the table above, the entire
lot shall be rejected and replaced by the Contractor at the Contractor’s expense.
Each lot will be accepted for density when the field density is at least 100% of the maximum density of
laboratory specimens prepared from samples of the base course material. The specimens shall be compacted
and tested per ASTM D698. The in-place field density shall be determined per ASTM D1556. (Test in
accordance with ASTM D4718 if greater than 30% is retained on the 3/4 inch sieve) or
ASTM D2167 or ASTM D6938. The field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D6938
using Procedure A, the direct transmission method and the machines shall be calibrated in accordance with
per ASTM D6938. When using the nuclear method, ASTM D4643 shall be used to determine the moisture
content of the material. If the specified density is not attained, the entire lot shall be reworked and two
additional random tests made. This procedure shall be followed until the specified density is reached.
219-4.8 Finishing. The surface of the recycled concrete aggregate base course shall be finished by
equipment designed for this purpose.
Adding a thin layer of material to the top of the base course to meet grade shall not be allowed. If the
elevation of the layer is 1/2 inch (12 mm) or more below grade, the layer shall be scarified to a depth of at
least 3 inches (75 mm), new material added, and the layer shall be recompacted. If the finished surface is
above plan grade, it shall be cut back to grade and rerolled. The grade shall be measured on a maximum
25-foot (7.5-m) grid (longitudinal and transverse). Thickness results shall be furnished to the Engineer daily
for acceptance determination.
Should the surface become rough, corrugated, uneven in texture, or traffic marked prior to completion, the
unsatisfactory portion shall be scarified, and recompacted or replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
Taxiway “C” P-219-5 Recycled Concrete Aggregate Base Course
Sebastian Municipal Airport
219-4.9 Surface tolerances. The finished surface shall not vary more than 3/8 inch (9 mm) when tested
with a 12-foot (3.7-m) straightedge applied parallel with or at right angles to the centerline. The Contractor
shall correct any deviation in excess of this amount, at the Contractor’s expense.
219-4.10 Thickness control. The completed thickness of the base course shall be within 1/2 inch (12 mm)
of the design thickness. Four thickness determinations shall be made for each lot of material placed. Each
lot shall be divided into four equal sublots and one test shall be made for each sublot. Sampling locations
will be determined per ASTM D3665. Where the thickness is y more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) deficient, the
Contractor, at his or her expense, shall correct the areas by excavating to the required depth and replacing
with new material. Additional test holes may be required to identify the limits of deficient areas.
219-4.11 Traffic. Equipment used in construction may be routed over completed portions of the base
course, provided there is no damage to the base course. The equipment shall be routed evenly over the full
width of the base course to avoid rutting or uneven compaction.
219-4.12 Maintenance. The base course shall be maintained until the base course is completed and
accepted. Maintenance will include immediate repairs to any defects and shall be repeated as often as
necessary to keep the completed work intact. The Contractor, at his or her expense, will rework any area of
the recycled concrete aggregate base course that is damaged.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
219-5.1 The quantity of shell base course shall be the number of cubic yards of base course material placed,
bonded, and accepted in the completed base course. The quantity of base course material shall be measured
in final position based upon depth tests or cores taken by the Contractor as directed by the Engineer, at the
rate of one (1) depth test for each 300 square yards (250 sq m) of base course. On individual depth
measurements, thicknesses more than 1/2 inch in excess of that shown on the plans shall be considered as
specified thickness, plus 1/2 inch in computing the yardage for payment. Base materials shall not be
included in any other excavation quantities.
BASIS OF PAYMENT
219-6.1 Payment shall be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard for recycled concrete aggregate
base course. This price shall be full compensation for furnishing all materials, for preparing and placing
these materials, and for all labor, equipment tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the item.

COMPOSITION
401-3.1 Composition of mixture. The HMA mix shall be composed of a mixture of well-graded aggregate,
filler and anti-strip agent if required, and asphalt binder. The several aggregate fractions shall be sized,
handled in separate size groups, and combined in such proportions that the resulting mixture meets the
grading requirements of the job mix formula (JMF).
401-3.2 Job mix formula (JMF). No hot-mixed asphalt (HMA) for payment shall be produced until a JMF
has been approved in writing by the Engineer. The asphalt mix-design and JMF shall be prepared by an
accredited laboratory that meets the requirements of paragraph 401-3.4. The HMA shall be designed using
procedures contained in Asphalt Institute MS-2 Mix Design Manual, 7th Edition. ASTM D6926 shall
be used for preparation of specimens using the manually held and operated hammer for the mix
design procedure. ASTM D6927 shall be used for testing for Marshall stability and flow.
If material variability exceeds the standard deviations indicated, the JMF and subsequent production
targets shall be based on a stability greater than shown in Table 1 and the flow shall be targeted close
to the mid-range of the criteria in order to meet the acceptance requirements.
Tensile strength ratio (TSR) of the composite mixture, as determined by ASTM D4867, shall not be less
than 75 when tested at a saturation of 70-80% or an anti-stripping agent shall be added to the HMA, as
necessary, to produce a TSR of not less than 75 when tested at a saturation of 70-80%. If an anti-strip agent
is required, it shall be provided by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner.
The JMF shall be submitted in writing by the Contractor at least 30 days prior to the start of paving
operations. The JMF shall be developed within the same construction season using aggregates currently
being produced.
The submitted JMF shall be stamped or sealed by the responsible professional Engineer of the laboratory
and shall include the following items as a minimum:
a. Percent passing each sieve size for total combined gradation, individual gradation of all aggregate
stockpiles and percent by weight of each stockpile used in the job mix formula.
b. Percent of asphalt cement.
c. Asphalt performance grade and type of modifier if used.
d.Number of blows per side of molded specimen..
e. Laboratory mixing temperature.

versus asphalt content ].
j. Specific Gravity and absorption of each aggregate.
k. Percent natural sand.
l. Percent fractured faces.
m. Percent by weight of flat particles, elongated particles, and flat and elongated particles (and criteria).
n. Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR).
o. Anti-strip agent (if required).
p. Date the JMF was developed. Mix designs that are not dated or which are from a prior construction
season shall not be accepted.
The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer the results of verification testing of three (3) asphalt samples
prepared at the optimum asphalt content. The average of the results of this testing shall indicate
conformance with the JMF requirements specified in Tables 1 and 3.
When the project requires asphalt mixtures of differing aggregate gradations, a separate JMF and the results
of JMF verification testing shall be submitted for each mix.
The JMF for each mixture shall be in effect until a modification is approved in writing by the Engineer.
Should a change in sources of materials be made, a new JMF must be submitted within 15 days and
approved by the Engineer in writing before the new material is used. After the initial production JMF has
been approved by the Engineer and a new or modified JMF is required for whatever reason, the subsequent
cost of the Engineer’s approval of the new or modified JMF, including a new test strip when required by
the engineer, will be borne by the Contractor. There will be no time extension given or considerations for
extra costs associated with the stoppage of production paving or restart of production paving due to the time
needed for the Engineer to approve the initial, new or modified JMF.

according to the JMF. The amount of HMA shall be sufficient to construct a test section 300 feet long and
20 feet wide, placed in two lanes, with a longitudinal cold joint, and shall be of the same depth specified
for the construction of the course which it represents. A cold joint for this test section is an exposed
construction joint at least four (4) hours old or whose mat has cooled to less than 160°F (71°C). The cold
joint must be cut back using the same procedure that will be used during production in accordance with
401-4.13. The underlying grade or pavement structure upon which the test section is to be constructed shall
be the same as the remainder of the course represented by the test section. The equipment used in
construction of the test section shall be the same type and weight to be used on the remainder of the course
represented by the test section.

in paragraph 401-5.1 and 401-5.2. The test section shall be divided into equal sublots. As a minimum the
test section shall consist of three (3) sublots.
The test section shall be considered acceptable if (1) stability, flow, mat density, air voids, and joint
density are 90% or more within limits, (2) gradation and asphalt content are within the action limits
specified in paragraphs 401-6.5a and 5b, and (3) the voids in the mineral aggregate are within the limits of
Table 2.
If the initial test section should prove to be unacceptable, the necessary adjustments to the JMF, plant
operation, placing procedures, and/or rolling procedures shall be made. A second test section shall then be
placed. If the second test section also does not meet specification requirements, both sections shall be
removed at the Contractor’s expense. Additional test sections, as required, shall be constructed and
evaluated for conformance to the specifications. Any additional sections that are not acceptable shall be
removed at the Contractor’s expense. Full production shall not begin until an acceptable test section has
been constructed and accepted in writing by the Engineer. Once an acceptable test section has been placed,
payment for the initial test section and the section that meets specification requirements shall be made in
accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.
Job mix control testing shall be performed by the Contractor at the start of plant production and in
conjunction with the calibration of the plant for the JMF. If aggregates produced by the plant do not satisfy
the gradation requirements or produce a mix that meets the JMF, it will be necessary to reevaluate and
redesign the mix using plant-produced aggregates. Specimens shall be prepared and the optimum asphalt
content determined in the same manner as for the original JMF tests.
Contractor will not be allowed to place the test section until the Contractor Quality Control Program,
showing conformance with the requirements of Paragraph 401-6.1, has been approved, in writing, by the
Engineer.

without segregation. The screed shall effectively produce a finished surface of the required evenness and
texture without tearing, shoving, or gouging the mixture.
If, during construction, it is found that the spreading and finishing equipment in use leaves tracks or
indented areas, or produces other blemishes in the pavement that are not satisfactorily corrected by the
scheduled operations, the use of such equipment shall be discontinued and satisfactory equipment shall be
provided by the Contractor.
401-4.4.1 Auto matic grade controls. T he HMA paver shall be equipped with a control system capable of
automatically maintaining the specified screed elevation. The control system shall be automatically actuated
from either a reference line and/or through a system of mechanical sensors or sensor-directed mechanisms
or devices that will maintain the paver screed at a predetermined transverse slope and at the proper elevation
Taxiway “C” P-401-9 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
to obtain the required surface. The transverse slope controller shall be capable of maintaining the screed at
the desired slope within ±0.1%.
The controls shall be capable of working in conjunction with any of the following attachments:
a. Ski-type device of not less than 30 feet (9 m) in length.
b. Taut string-line (wire) set to grade.
c. Short ski or shoe.
d. Laser control.
401-4.5 Rollers. Rollers of the vibratory, steel wheel, and pneumatic-tired type shall be used. They shall
be in good condition, capable of operating at slow speeds to avoid displacement of the HMA. The number,
type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the HMA to the required density while it is still in
a workable condition.
All rollers shall be specifically designed and suitable for compacting HMA concrete and shall be properly
used. Rollers that impair the stability of any layer of a pavement structure or underlying soils shall not be
used. Depressions in pavement surfaces caused by rollers shall be repaired by the Contractor at their own
expense.
The use of equipment that causes crushing of the aggregate will not be permitted.
401-4.6. Density device. The Contractor shall have on site a density gauge during all paving operations in
order to assist in the determination of the optimum rolling pattern, type of roller and frequencies, as well as
to monitor the effect of the rolling operations during production paving. The Contractor shall also supply a
qualified technician during all paving operations to calibrate the gauge and obtain accurate density readings
for all new HMA. These densities shall be supplied to the Engineer upon request at any time during
construction. No separate payment will be made for supplying the density gauge and technician.
401-4.7 Preparation of asphalt binder. The asphalt binder shall be heated in a manner that will avoid
local overheating and provide a continuous supply of the asphalt binder to the mixer at a uniform
temperature. The temperature of unmodified asphalt binder delivered to the mixer shall be sufficient to
provide a suitable viscosity for adequate coating of the aggregate particles, but shall not exceed 325°F
(160°C) when added to the aggregate. The temperature of modified asphalt binder shall be no more than
350°F (175°C) when added to the aggregate.
401-4.8 Preparation of mineral aggregate. The aggregate for the HMA shall be heated and dried. The
maximum temperature and rate of heating shall be such that no damage occurs to the aggregates. The
temperature of the aggregate and mineral filler shall not exceed 350°F (175°C) when the asphalt binder is
added. Particular care shall be taken that aggregates high in calcium or magnesium content are not damaged
by overheating. The temperature shall not be lower than is required to obtain complete coating and uniform
distribution on the aggregate particles and to provide a mixture of satisfactory workability.
401-4.9 Preparation of HMA. The aggregates and the asphalt binder shall be weighed or metered and
introduced into the mixer in the amount specified by the JMF. The combined materials shall be mixed until
the aggregate obtains a uniform coating of asphalt binder and is thoroughly distributed throughout the
mixture. Wet mixing time shall be the shortest time that will produce a satisfactory mixture, but not less
than 25 seconds for batch plants. The wet mixing time for all plants shall be established by the Contractor,
based on the procedure for determining the percentage of coated particles described in ASTM D2489, for
each individual plant and for each type of aggregate used. The wet mixing time will be set to achieve 95%
of coated particles. For continuous mix plants, the minimum mixing time shall be determined by dividing
the weight of its contents at operating level by the weight of the mixture delivered per second by the mixer.
The moisture content of all HMA upon discharge shall not exceed 0.5%.
Taxiway “C” P-401-10 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
401-4.10 Preparation of the underlying surface. Immediately before placing the HMA, the underlying
course shall be cleaned of all dust and debris. A prime coat or tack coat shall be applied in accordance with
Item P -602 or P -603, if shown on the plans.
401-4.11 Laydown plan, transporting, placing, and finishing. Prior to the placement of the HMA, the
Contractor shall prepare a laydown plan for approval by the Engineer. This is to minimize the number of
cold joints in the pavement. The laydown plan shall include the sequence of paving laydown by stations,
width of lanes, temporary ramp locations, and laydown temperature. The laydown plan shall also include
estimated time of completion for each portion of the work (that is, milling, paving, rolling, cooling, etc.).
Modifications to the laydown plan shall be approved by the Engineer.
The HMA shall be transported from the mixing plant to the site in vehicles conforming to the requirements
of paragraph 401-4.3. Deliveries shall be scheduled so that placing and compacting of HMA is uniform
with minimum stopping and starting of the paver. Hauling over freshly placed material shall not be
permitted until the material has been compacted, as specified, and allowed to cool to atmospheric
temperature.
The alignment and elevation of the paver shall be regulated from outside reference lines established for this
purpose for the first lift of all runway and taxiway pavements. Successive lifts of HMA surface course may
be placed using a ski, or laser control per paragraph 401-4.4.1, provided grades of the first lift of HMA
surface course meet the tolerances of paragraphs 401-5.2b(6) as verified by a survey. Contractor shall
survey each lift of HMA surface course and certify to Engineer that every lot of each lift meets the grade
tolerances of paragraph 401-5.2b(6) before the next lift can be placed.
The initial placement and compaction of the HMA shall occur at a temperature suitable for obtaining
density, surface smoothness, and other specified requirements but not less than 250°F (121°C).
Edges of existing HMA pavement abutting the new work shall be saw cut and carefully removed as shown
on the drawings and coated with asphalt tack coat before new material is placed against it.
Upon arrival, the HMA shall be placed to the full width by a HMA paver. It shall be struck off in a uniform
layer of such depth that, when the work is completed, it shall have the required thickness and conform to
the grade and contour indicated. The speed of the paver shall be regulated to eliminate pulling and tearing
of the HMA mat. Unless otherwise permitted, placement of the HMA shall begin along the centerline of a
crowned section or on the high side of areas with a one-way slope. The HMA shall be placed in consecutive
adjacent strips having a minimum width of [ ] feet (m) except where edge lanes require less width to
complete the area. Additional screed sections shall not be attached to widen paver to meet the minimum
lane width requirements specified above unless additional auger sections are added to match. The
longitudinal joint in one course shall offset the longitudinal joint in the course immediately below by at
least 1 foot (30 cm); however, the joint in the surface top course shall be at the centerline of crowned
pavements. Transverse joints in one course shall be offset by at least 10 feet (3 m) from transverse joints in
the previous course.
Transverse joints in adjacent lanes shall be offset a minimum of 10 feet (3 m).
On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical spreading and finishing
equipment impractical, the HMA may be spread and luted by hand tools.
Areas of segregation in the surface course, as determined by the Engineer, shall be removed and replaced
at the Contractor’s expense. The area shall be removed by saw cutting and milling a minimum of 2 inches
(50 mm) deep. The area to be removed and replaced shall be a minimum width of the paver and a minimum
of 10 feet (3 m) long.
401-4.12 Compaction of HMA. After placing, the HMA shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by
power rollers. The surface shall be compacted as soon as possible when the HMA has attained sufficient
Taxiway “C” P-401-11 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
stability so that the rolling does not cause undue displacement, cracking or shoving. The sequence of rolling
operations and the type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the Contractor. The speed of the roller
shall, at all times, be sufficiently slow to avoid displacement of the hot mixture and be effective in
compaction. Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing the direction of the roller, or from any
other cause, shall be corrected at once.
Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling shall continue until the surface
is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross-section, and the required field density is obtained. To prevent
adhesion of the HMA to the roller, the wheels shall be equipped with a scraper and kept properly moistened
but excessive water will not be permitted.
In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with approved power driven
tampers. Tampers shall weigh not less than 275 pounds (125 kg), have a tamping plate width not less than
15 inches (38 cm), be rated at not less than 4,200 vibrations per minute, and be suitably equipped with a
standard tamping plate wetting device.
Any HMA that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, contains check-cracking, or in any way
defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh hot mixture and immediately compacted to conform to
the surrounding area. This work shall be done at the Contractor’s expense. Skin patching shall not be
allowed.
401-4.13 Joints. The formation of all joints shall be made in such a manner as to ensure a continuous bond
between the courses and obtain the required density. All joints shall have the same texture as other sections
of the course and meet the requirements for smoothness and grade.
The roller shall not pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid HMA except when necessary to form
a transverse joint. When necessary to form a transverse joint, it shall be made by means of placing a
bulkhead or by tapering the course. The tapered edge shall be cut back to its full depth and width on a
straight line to expose a vertical face prior to placing the adjacent lane. In both methods, all contact surfaces
shall be coated with an asphalt tack coat before placing any fresh HMA against the joint.
Longitudinal joints which have been left exposed for more than four (4) hours; the surface temperature has
cooled to less than 175°F (80°C); or are irregular, damaged, uncompacted or otherwise defective shall be
cut back 3 inches (75 mm) to 6 inches (150 mm) to expose a clean, sound, uniform vertical surface for the
full depth of the course. All cutback material shall be removed from the project. Asphalt tack coat or other
product approved by the Engineer shall be applied to the clean, dry joint, prior to placing any additional
fresh HMA against the joint. Any laitance produced from cutting joints shall be removed by vacuuming
and washing. The cost of this work shall be considered incidental to the cost of the HMA.
401-4.14 Saw-cut grooving. If shown on the plans, saw cut grooves shall be provided as specified in Item
P -621.
401-4.15 Diamond grinding. When required, diamond grinding shall be accomplished by sawing with
saw blades impregnated with industrial diamond abrasive. The saw blades shall be assembled in a cutting
head mounted on a machine designed specifically for diamond grinding that will produce the required
texture and smoothness level without damage to the pavement. The saw blades shall be 1/8-inch (3-mm)
wide and there shall be a minimum of 55 to 60 blades per 12 inches (300 mm) of cutting head width; the
actual number of blades will be determined by the Contractor and depend on the hardness of the aggregate.
Each machine shall be capable of cutting a path at least 3 feet (0.9 m) wide. Equipment that causes ravels,
aggregate fractures, spalls or disturbance to the pavement will not be permitted. The depth of grinding shall
not exceed 1/2 inch (13mm) and all areas in which diamond grinding has been performed will be subject to
the final pavement thickness tolerances specified. Grinding will be tapered in all directions to provide
smooth transitions to areas not requiring grinding. Areas that have been ground will be sealed with a P -608
Taxiway “C” P-401-12 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
surface treatment as directed by the Engineer. It may be necessary to seal a larger area to avoid surface
treatment creating any conflict with runway or taxiway markings.
401-4.16 Nighttime paving requirements. Paving during nighttime construction shall require the
following:
a. All paving machines, rollers, distribution trucks and other vehicles required by the Contractor for his
operations shall be equipped with artificial illumination sufficient to safely complete the work.
b. Minimum illumination level shall be twenty (20) horizontal foot-candles and maintained in the
following areas:

equipment, during operation of the equipment.
(3) An area 15 feet (4.5 m) wide by 15 feet (4.5 m) long at any point where an area is being tack
coated prior to the placement of pavement.
c. As partial fulfillment of the above requirements, the Contractor shall furnish and use, complete
artificial lighting units with a minimum capacity of 3,000 watt electric beam lights, affixed to all equipment
in such a way to direct illumination on the area under construction.
d. A lighting plan must be submitted by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer prior to the start
of any nighttime work.
MATERIAL ACCEPTANCE
401-5.1 Acceptance sampling and testing. Unless otherwise specified, all acceptance sampling and testing
necessary to determine conformance with the requirements specified in this section will be performed by

(3628 metric tons), the lot size shall be 1/2 day’s production. If the day’s production exceeds 4000 tons
(3628 metric tons), the lot size shall be an equal sized fraction of the day’s production, but shall not exceed
2000 tons (1814 metric tons).
Where more than one plant is simultaneously producing HMA for the job, the lot sizes shall apply
separately for each plant.
Taxiway “C” P-401-13 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
(1) Sampling. Each lot will consist of four equal sublots. Sufficient HMA for preparation of test
specimens for all testing will be sampled by the Engineer on a random basis, in accordance with the
procedures contained in ASTM D3665. Samples will be taken in accordance with ASTM D979.
The sample of HMA may be put in a covered metal tin and placed in an oven for not less than 30
minutes nor more than 60 minutes to stabilize to compaction temperature. The compaction temperature of
the specimens shall be as specified in the JMF.
(2) Testing. Sample specimens shall be tested for stability and flow in accordance with ASTM
D6927. Air voids will be determined by the Engineer in accordance with ASTM D3203. One set of
laboratory compacted specimens will be prepared for each sublot in accordance with ASTM D6926
at the number of blows required by paragraph 401-3.2, Table 1. Each set of laboratory compacted
specimens will consist of three test specimens prepared from the same sample. The manual hammer
in ASTM D6926 shall be used
Prior to testing, the bulk specific gravity of each test specimen shall be measured by the Engineer in
accordance with ASTM D2726 using the procedure for laboratory-prepared thoroughly dry specimens for
use in computing air voids and pavement density.
For air voids determination, the theoretical maximum specific gravity of the mixture shall be measured one
time for each sublot in accordance with ASTM D2041. The value used in the air voids computation for
each sublot shall be based on theoretical maximum specific gravity measurement for the sublot.
The stability and flow for each sublot shall be computed by averaging the results of all test specimens
representing that sublot.
(3) Acceptance. Acceptance of plant produced HMA for stability, flow, and air voids
shall be determined by the Engineer in accordance with the requirements of
paragraph 401-5.2b.
b. In-place HMA. HMA placed in the field shall be tested for mat and joint density on a lot basis. A
standard lot shall be equal to one day’s production or 2000 tons (1814 metric tons) whichever is smaller.
If the day’s production is expected to exceed 2000 tons (1814 metric tons), but less than 4000 tons (3628
metric tons), the lot size shall be 1/2 day’s production. If the day’s production exceeds 4000 tons (3628
metric tons), the lot size shall be an equal sized fraction of the day’s production, but shall not exceed 2000
tons (1814 metric tons).
(1) Mat density. The lot size shall be the same as that indicated in paragraph 401-5.1a and shall be
divided into four equal sublots. One core of finished, compacted HMA shall be taken by the Contractor
from each sublot. Core locations will be determined by the Engineer on a random basis in accordance with
procedures contained in ASTM D3665. Cores for mat density shall not be taken closer than one foot (30
cm) from a transverse or longitudinal joint.
(2) Joint density. The lot size shall be the total length of longitudinal joints constructed by a lot of
HMA as defined in paragraph 401-5.1a. The lot shall be divided into four equal sublots. One core of
finished, compacted HMA shall be taken by the Contractor from each sublot. Core locations will be
determined by the Engineer on a random basis in accordance with procedures contained in ASTM D3665.
All cores for joint density shall be taken centered on the joint. The minimum core diameter for joint density
determination shall be 5 inches (125 mm).
(3) Sampling. Samples shall be neatly cut with a diamond core drill bit. Samples will be taken in
accordance with ASTM D979. The minimum diameter of the sample shall be 5 inches (125 mm). Samples
that are clearly defective, as a result of sampling, shall be discarded and another sample taken. The
Contractor shall furnish all tools, labor, and materials for cutting samples, cleaning, and filling the cored
Taxiway “C” P-401-14 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
pavement. Cored pavement shall be cleaned and core holes shall be filled in a manner acceptable to the
Engineer and within one day after sampling. Laitance produced by the coring operation shall be removed
immediately.
The top most lift of HMA shall be completely bonded to the underlying layer. If any of the cores
reveal that the surface is not bonded to the layer immediately below the surface then additional cores shall
be taken as directed by the Engineer in accordance with paragraph 401-5.1b to determine the extent of any
delamination. All delaminated areas shall be completely removed by milling to the limits and depth and
replaced as directed by the Engineer at no additional cost.
(4) Testing. The bulk specific gravity of each cored sample will be measured by the Engineer in
accordance with ASTM D2726. Samples will be taken in accordance with ASTM D979. The percent
compaction (density) of each sample will be determined by dividing the bulk specific gravity of each sublot
sample by the average bulk specific gravity of all laboratory prepared specimens for the lot, as determined
in paragraph 401-5.1a(2). The bulk specific gravity used to determine the joint density at joints formed
between different lots shall be the lowest of the bulk specific gravity values from the two different lots.
(5) Acceptance. Acceptance of field placed HMA for mat density will be determined by the
Engineer in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b(1). Acceptance for joint density will
be determined by the Engineer in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b(3).
c. Partial lots. When operational conditions cause a lot to be terminated before the specified number
of tests have been made for the lot, or when the Contractor and Engineer agree in writing to allow overages
or other minor tonnage placements to be considered as partial lots, the following procedure will be used to
adjust the lot size and the number of tests for the lot.
The last batch produced where production is halted will be sampled, and its properties shall be
considered as representative of the particular sublot from which it was taken. In addition, an agreed to minor
placement will be sampled, and its properties shall be considered as representative of the particular sublot
from which it was taken. Where three sublots are produced, they shall constitute a lot. Where one or two
sublots are produced, they shall be incorporated into the next lot, and the total number of sublots shall be
used in the acceptance plan calculation, that is, n = 5 or n = 6, for example. Partial lots at the end of asphalt
production on the project shall be included with the previous lot. The lot size for field placed material shall
correspond to that of the plant material, except that, in no cases, shall less than three (3) cored samples be
obtained, that is, n = 3.
401-5.2 Acceptance criteria.
a. General. Acceptance will be based on the following characteristics of the HMA and completed
pavement as well as the implementation of the Contractor Quality Control Program and test results:
(1) Air voids
(2) Mat density
(3) Joint density
(4) Thickness
(5) Smoothness
(6) Grade
(7) Stability
(8) Flow
Mat density and air voids will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with paragraph 401-
5.2b(1).Stability and flow will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(2). Joint
density will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(3).
Taxiway “C” P-401-15 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
Thickness will be evaluated by the Engineer for compliance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(4).
Acceptance for smoothness will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph 401-5.2b(5). Acceptance
for grade will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph 401-5.2b(7).
The Engineer may at any time, reject and require the Contractor to dispose of any batch of HMA which
is rendered unfit for use due to contamination, segregation, incomplete coating of aggregate, or improper
mix temperature. Such rejection may be based on only visual inspection or temperature measurements. In
the event of such rejection, the Contractor may take a representative sample of the rejected material in the
presence of the Engineer, and if it can be demonstrated in the laboratory, in the presence of the Engineer,
that such material was erroneously rejected, payment will be made for the material at the contract unit price.
b. Acceptance criteria.
(1) Mat density and air voids. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for mat density
and air voids shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). If the PWL of
the lot equals or exceeds 90%, the lot shall be acceptable. Acceptance and payment shall be determined in
accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.
(2) Stability and flow. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced HMA for stability and flow shall
be based on the PWL. If the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90%, the lot shall be acceptable. If the PWL
is less than 90%, the Contractor shall determine the reason and take corrective action. If the PWL is below
80%, the Contractor must stop production until the reason for poor stability and/or flow has been determined
and adjustments to the HMA are made.
(3) Joint density. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced HMA for joint density shall be based
on the PWL. If the PWL of the lot is equal to or exceeds 90%, the lot shall be considered acceptable. If the
PWL is less than 90%, the Contractor shall evaluate the reason and act accordingly. If the PWL is less than
80%, the Contractor shall cease operations and until the reason for poor compaction has been determined.
If the PWL is less than 71%, the pay factor for the lot used to complete the joint shall be reduced by five
(5) percentage points. This lot pay factor reduction shall be incorporated and evaluated in accordance with
paragraph 401-8.1.
(4) Thickness. Thickness of each lift of surface course shall be evaluated by the Engineer for
compliance to the requirements shown on the plans. Measurements of thickness shall be made by the
Engineer using the cores extracted for each sublot for density measurement. The maximum allowable
deficiency at any point shall not be more than 1/4 inch (6 mm) less than the thickness indicated for the lift.
Average thickness of lift, or combined lifts, shall not be less than the indicated thickness. Where the
thickness tolerances are not met, the lot or sublot shall be corrected by the Contractor at his expense by
removing the deficient area and replacing with new pavement. The Contractor, at his expense, may take
additional cores as approved by the Engineer to circumscribe the deficient area.
(5) Smoothness. The final surface shall be free from roller marks. After the final rolling, but not
later than 24 hours after placement, the surface of each lot shall be tested in both longitudinal and transverse
directions for smoothness to reveal all surface irregularities exceeding the tolerances specified. The
Contractor shall furnish paving equipment and employ methods that produce a surface for each pavement
lot having an average profile index meeting the requirements of paragraph 401-8.1d when evaluated with a
profilograph; and the finished surface course of the pavement shall not vary more than 1/4 inch (6mm)
when evaluated with a 12-foot (3.7m) straightedge. When the surface course smoothness exceeds
specification tolerances which cannot be corrected by diamond grinding of the surface course, full depth
removal and replacement of surface course corrections shall be to the limit of the longitudinal placement.
Corrections involving diamond grinding will be subject to the final pavement thickness tolerances specified.
Taxiway “C” P-401-16 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
The Contractor shall apply a surface treatment per Item P -608 or P -609 to all areas that have been subject
to grinding as directed by the Engineer.
(a) Transverse measurements. Transverse measurements will be taken for each lot placed.
Transverse measurements will be taken perpendicular to the pavement centerline each 50 feet (15m) or
more often as determined by the Engineer.
(i) Testing shall be continuous across all joints, starting with one-half the length of the
straightedge at the edge of pavement section being tested and then moved ahead one-half the length of the
straightedge for each successive measurement. Smoothness readings will not be made across grade changes
or cross slope transitions; at these transition areas, the straightedge position shall be adjusted to measure
surface smoothness and not design grade or cross slope transitions. The amount of surface irregularity shall
be determined by placing the freestanding (unleveled) straightedge on the pavement surface and allowing
it to rest upon the two highest spots covered by its length, and measuring the maximum gap between the
straightedge and the pavement surface in the area between these two high points. High spots on final surface
course > 1/4 inch (6mm) in transverse direction shall be corrected with diamond grinding per paragraph
401-4.15 or by removing and replacing full depth of surface course. Grinding will be tapered in all
directions to provide smooth transitions to areas not requiring grinding. The area corrected by grinding
should not exceed 10% of the total area and these areas shall be retested after grinding.
(ii) The joint between lots shall be tested separately to facilitate smoothness between lots.
The amount of surface irregularity shall be determined by placing the freestanding (unleveled) straightedge
on the pavement surface, with half the straightedge on one side of the joint and the other half of the
straightedge on the other side of the joint. Measure the maximum gap between the straightedge and the
pavement surface in the area between these two high points. One measurement shall be taken at the joint
every 50 feet (15m) or more often if directed by the Engineer. Deviations on final surface course > 1/4
inch (6mm) in transverse direction shall be corrected with diamond grinding per paragraph 401-4.15 or by
removing and replacing full depth of surface course. Each measurement shall be recorded and a copy of
the data shall be furnished to the Engineer at the end of each days testing.
(b) Longitudinal measurements. Longitudinal measurements will be taken for each lot placed.
Longitudinal tests will be parallel to the centerline of paving; at the center of paving lanes when widths of
paving lanes are less than 20 feet (6m); and at the third points of paving lanes when widths of paving lanes
are 20 ft (6m) or greater.
(i) Longitudinal Short Sections. Longitudinal Short Sections are when the longitudinal lot
length is less than 200 feet (60m) and areas not requiring a profilograph. When approved by the Engineer,
the first and last 15 feet (4.5m) of the lot can also be considered as short sections for smoothness. The
finished surface shall not vary more than 1/4 inch (6mm) when evaluated with a 12-foot (3.7m) straightedge.
Smoothness readings will not be made across grade changes or cross slope transitions; at these transition
areas, the straightedge position shall be adjusted to measure surface smoothness and not design grade or
cross slope transitions. Testing shall be continuous across all joints, starting with one-half the length of the
straightedge at the edge of pavement section being tested and then moved ahead one-half the length of the
straightedge for each successive measurement. The amount of surface irregularity shall be determined by
placing the freestanding (unleveled) straightedge on the pavement surface and allowing it to rest upon the
two highest spots covered by its length, and measuring the maximum gap between the straightedge and the
pavement surface in the area between these two high points. Deviations on final surface course > 1/4 inch
(6mm) in longitudinal direction will be corrected with diamond grinding per paragraph 401-4.15 or by
removing and replacing full depth of surface course. Grinding will be tapered in all directions to provide
smooth transitions to areas not requiring grinding. The area corrected by grinding should not exceed 10%
of the total area and these areas shall be retested after grinding.
Taxiway “C” P-401-17 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport
(6) Grade. Grade shall be evaluated on the first day of placement and then as a minimum, every
day paving occurs to allow adjustments to paving operations if measurements do not meet specification
requirements. The Contractor must submit the survey data to the Engineer by the following day after
measurements have been taken. The finished surface of the pavement shall not vary from the gradeline
elevations and cross-sections shown on the plans by more than 1/2 inch (12 mm). The finished grade of
each lot will be determined by running levels at intervals of 50 feet (15 m) or less longitudinally and all
breaks in grade transversely (not to exceed 50 feet (15 m)) to determine the elevation of the completed
pavement. The Contractor shall pay the cost of surveying of the level runs that shall be performed by a
licensed surveyor. The documentation, stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor, shall be provided by the
Contractor to the Engineer. The lot size shall be 1000 square yards (m2). When more than 15% of all the
measurements within a lot are outside the specified tolerance, or if any one shot within the lot deviates 3/4
inch (19 mm) or more from planned grade, the Contractor shall remove the deficient area to the depth of
the final course plus 1/2 inch (12 mm) of pavement and replace with new material. Skin patching shall not
be permitted. Isolated high points may be ground off provided the course thickness complies with the
thickness specified on the plans. The surface of the ground pavement shall have a texture consisting of
grooves between 0.090 and 0.130 inches (2 and 3.5 mm) wide. The peaks and ridges shall be approximately
1/32 inch (1 mm) higher than the bottom of the grooves. The pavement shall be left in a clean condition.
T he removal of all of the slurry resulting from the grinding operation shall be continuous The grinding
operation should be controlled so the residue from the operation does not flow across other lanes of
pavement. High point grinding will be limited to 15 square yards (12.5 m2). Areas in excess of 15 square
yards (12.5 m2) will require removal and replacement of the pavement in accordance with the limitations
noted above. The Contractor shall apply a surface treatment per P -608 to all areas that have been subject to
grinding.
c. Percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). The PWL shall be determined in
accordance with procedures specified in Section 110 of the General Provisions. The specification tolerance
limits (L) for lower and (U) for upper are contained in Table 5.

and equipment for heating bituminous material.
Provide a distributor with pneumatic tires of such size and number that the load produced on the base
surface does not exceed 65.0 psi (4.5 kg/sq cm) of tire width to prevent rutting, shoving or otherwise
damaging the base, surface or other layers in the pavement structure. Design and equip the distributor to
spray the bituminous material in a uniform coverage at the specified temperature, at readily determined and
controlled rates from 0.05 to 2.0 gallons per square yard (0.23 to 9.05 L/square meter), with a pressure
range of 25 to 75 psi (172.4 to 517.1 kPa) and with an allowable variation from the specified rate of not
more than ±5%, and at variable widths. Include with the distributor equipment a separate power unit for the
bitumen pump, full-circulation spray bars, tachometer, pressure gauges, volume-measuring devices,
adequate heaters for heating of materials to the proper application temperature, a thermometer for reading
the temperature of tank contents, and a hand hose attachment suitable for applying bituminous material
manually to areas inaccessible to the distributor. Equip the distributor to circulate and agitate the bituminous
material during the heating process. If the distributor is not equipped with an operable quick shutoff valve,
the prime operations shall be started and stopped on building paper. The Contractor shall remove blotting
sand prior to asphalt concrete lay down operations at no additional expense to the Owner.
A power broom and power blower suitable for cleaning the surfaces to which the bituminous coat is to be
applied shall be provided.
602-3.3 Application of bituminous material. Immediately before applying the prime coat, the full width
of the surface to be primed shall be swept with a power broom to remove all loose dirt and other
objectionable material.
The bituminous material shall be uniformly applied with a bituminous distributor at the rate of 0.15 to 0.30
gallons per square yard (0.68 to 1.36 liters per square meter) depending on the base course surface texture.
The type of bituminous material and application rate shall be approved by the Engineer prior to application.
Taxiway “C” P-602-2 Bituminous Prime Coat
Sebastian Municipal Airport
Following application of the bituminous material and prior to application of the succeeding layer of
pavement, allow the bituminous coat to cure and to obtain evaporation of any volatiles or moisture. Maintain
the coated surface until the succeeding layer of pavement is placed, by protecting the surface against
damage and by repairing and recoating deficient areas. Allow the prime coat to cure without being disturbed
for a period of at least 48 hours or longer, as may be necessary to attain penetration into the treated course.
Furnish and spread enough sand to effectively blot up and cure excess bituminous material. Keep traffic off
surfaces freshly treated with bituminous material. Provide sufficient warning signs and barricades so that
traffic will not travel over freshly treated surfaces.
602-3.4 Trial applications. Before providing the complete bituminous coat, the Contractor shall apply
three lengths of at least 100 feet (30 m) for the full width of the distributor bar to evaluate the amount of
bituminous material that can be satisfactorily applied with the equipment. Apply three different trial
application rates of bituminous materials within the application range specified in paragraph 602-3.3. Other
trial applications will be made using various amounts of material as deemed necessary by the Engineer.
602-3.5 Bituminous material Contractor’s responsibility. The Contractor shall provide a statement of
source and character of the proposed bituminous material which must be submitted to and approved by the
Engineer before any shipment of bituminous materials to the project. The Contractor shall furnish vendor’s
certified test reports for each carload, or equivalent, of bituminous material shipped to the project. The test
reports shall be provided to and approved by the Engineer before the bituminous material is applied. If the
bituminous material does not meet the specifications, it shall be replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
Furnishing the vendor’s certified test report for the bituminous material shall not be interpreted as basis for
final acceptance.
602-3.6 Freight and weigh bills. The Contractor shall submit waybills and delivery tickets during the
progress of the work. Before the final estimate is allowed, file with the Engineer certified waybills and
certified delivery tickets for all bituminous materials used in the construction of the pavement covered by
the contract. Do not remove bituminous material from storage until the initial outage and temperature
measurements have been taken. The delivery or storage units will not be released until the final outage has
been taken.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
602-4.1 The bituminous material for prime coat shall be measured by the gallon. Volume shall be corrected
to the volume at 60°F in accordance with ASTM D1250. The bituminous material paid for will be the
measured quantities used in the accepted work, provided that the measured quantities are not 10% over the
specified application rate. Any amount of bituminous material more than 10% over the specified application
rate for each application will be deducted from the measured quantities, except for irregular areas where
hand spraying of the bituminous material is necessary. Water added to emulsified asphalt will not be
measured for payment.
BASIS OF PAYMENT
602-5.1 Payment shall be made at the contract unit price per gallon for bituminous prime coat. This price
shall be full compensation for furnishing all materials and for all preparation, delivering, and applying the
materials, and for all labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete this item.

610-2.1 General. Only approved materials, conforming to the requirements of these specifications, shall
be used in the work. Materials may be subject to inspection and tests at any time during their preparation
or use. The source of all materials shall be approved by the Engineer before delivery or use in the work.
Representative preliminary samples of the materials shall be submitted by the Contractor, when required,
for examination and test. Materials shall be stored and handled to ensure preservation of their quality and
fitness for use and shall be located to facilitate prompt inspection. All equipment for handling and
transporting materials and concrete must be clean before any material or concrete is placed in them.
The use of pit-run aggregates shall not be permitted unless the pit-run aggregate has been screened and
washed, and all fine and coarse aggregates stored separately and kept clean. The mixing of different
aggregates from different sources in one storage stockpile or alternating batches of different aggregates
shall not be permitted.
a. Reactivity. Fine and Coarse aggregates to be used in all concrete shall be evaluated and tested by
the Contractor for alkali-aggregate reactivity in accordance with both ASTM C1260 and C1567. Aggregate
and mix proportion reactivity tests shall be performed for each project.
(1) Coarse and fine aggregate shall be tested separately in accordance with ASTM C1260. The
aggregate shall be considered innocuous if the expansion of test specimens, tested in accordance with
ASTM C1260, does not exceed 0.10% at 28 days (30 days from casting).
(2) Combined coarse and fine aggregate shall be tested in accordance with ASTM C1567, modified
for combined aggregates, using the proposed mixture design proportions of aggregates, cementitious
materials, and/or specific reactivity reducing chemicals. If lithium nitrate is proposed for use with or
without supplementary cementitious materials, the aggregates shall be tested in accordance with Corps of
Engineers (COE) CRD C662. If lithium nitrate admixture is used, it shall be nominal 30% ±0.5% weight
lithium nitrate in water.
(3) If the expansion of the proposed combined materials test specimens, tested in accordance with
ASTM C1567, modified for combined aggregates, or COE CRD C662, does not exceed 0.10% at 28 days,
the proposed combined materials will be accepted. If the expansion of the proposed combined materials
test specimens is greater than 0.10% at 28 days, the aggregates will not be accepted unless adjustments to
the combined materials mixture can reduce the expansion to less than 0.10% at 28 days, or new aggregates
shall be evaluated and tested.
610-2.2 Coarse aggregate. The coarse aggregate for concrete shall meet the requirements of ASTM C33.

610-3.3 Acceptance sampling and testing. Concrete for each structure will be accepted on the basis of the
compressive strength specified in paragraph 610-3.2. The concrete shall be sampled in accordance with
ASTM C172. Concrete cylindrical compressive strength specimens shall be made in accordance with
ASTM C31 and tested in accordance with ASTM C39. The Contractor shall cure and store the test
specimens under such conditions as directed by the Engineer. The Engineer will make the actual tests on
the specimens at no expense to the Contractor.
610-3.4 Qualifications for concrete testing service. Perform concrete testing by an approved laboratory
and inspection service experienced in sampling and testing concrete. Testing agency must meet the
requirements of ASTM C1077 or ASTM E329.
610-3.5 Proportioning and measuring devices. When package cement is used, the quantity for each batch
shall be equal to one or more whole sacks of cement. The aggregates shall be measured separately by
weight. If aggregates are delivered to the mixer in batch trucks, the exact amount for each mixer charge
shall be contained in each batch compartment. Weighing boxes or hoppers shall be approved by the
Engineer and shall provide means of regulating the flow of aggregates into the batch box so the required,
exact weight of aggregates is obtained.
610-3.6 Consistency. The consistency of the concrete shall be determined by the slump test specified in
ASTM C143.
610-3.7 Mixing. Concrete may be mixed at the construction site, at a central point, or wholly or in part in

C94.
Taxiway “C” P-610-5 Structural Portland Cement Concrete
Sebastian Municipal Airport
610-3.8 Mixing conditions. The concrete shall be mixed only in quantities required for immediate use.
Concrete shall not be mixed while the air temperature is below 40°F (4°C) without permission of the
Engineer. If permission is granted for mixing under such conditions, aggregates or water, or both, shall be
heated and the concrete shall be placed at a temperature not less than 50°F (10°C) nor more than 100°F
(38°C). The Contractor shall be held responsible for any defective work, resulting from freezing or injury
in any manner during placing and curing, and shall replace such work at his expense.
Retempering of concrete by adding water or any other material shall not be permitted.
The rate of delivery of concrete to the job shall be sufficient to allow uninterrupted placement of the
concrete.
610-3.9 Forms. Concrete shall not be placed until all the forms and reinforcements have been inspected
and approved by the Engineer. Forms shall be of suitable material and shall be of the type, size, shape,
quality, and strength to build the structure as shown on the plans. The forms shall be true to line and grade
and shall be mortar-tight and sufficiently rigid to prevent displacement and sagging between supports. The
surfaces of forms shall be smooth and free from irregularities, dents, sags, and holes. The Contractor shall
be responsible for their adequacy.
The internal form ties shall be arranged so no metal will show in the concrete surface or discolor the surface
when exposed to weathering when the forms are removed. All forms shall be wetted with water or with a
non-staining mineral oil, which shall be applied immediately before the concrete is placed. Forms shall be
constructed so they can be removed without injuring the concrete or concrete surface. The forms shall not
be removed until at least 30 hours after concrete placement for vertical faces, walls, slender columns, and
similar structures. Forms supported by falsework under slabs, beams, girders, arches, and similar
construction shall not be removed until tests indicate the concrete has developed at least 60% of the design
strength.
610-3.10 Placing reinforcement. All reinforcement shall be accurately placed, as shown on the plans, and
shall be firmly held in position during concrete placement. Bars shall be fastened together at intersections.
The reinforcement shall be supported by approved metal chairs. Shop drawings, lists, and bending details
shall be supplied by the Contractor when required.
610-3.11 Embedded items. Before placing concrete, all embedded items shall be firmly and securely
fastened in place as indicated. All embedded items shall be clean and free from coating, rust, scale, oil, or
any foreign matter. The concrete shall be spaded and consolidated around and against embedded items. The
embedding of wood shall not be allowed.
610-3.12 Placing concrete. All concrete shall be placed during daylight hours, unless otherwise approved.
The concrete shall not be placed until the depth and condition of foundations, the adequacy of forms and
falsework, and the placing of the steel reinforcing have been approved by the Engineer. Concrete shall be
placed as soon as practical after mixing, but in no case later than one (1) hour after water has been added
to the mix. The method and manner of placing shall avoid segregation and displacement of the
reinforcement. Troughs, pipes, and chutes shall be used as an aid in placing concrete when necessary. The
concrete shall not be dropped from a height of more than 5 feet (1.5 m). Concrete shall be deposited as
nearly as practical in its final position to avoid segregation due to rehandling or flowing. Do not subject
concrete to procedures which cause segregation. Concrete shall be placed on clean, damp surfaces, free
from running water, or on a properly consolidated soil foundation.
610-3.13 Vibration. Vibration shall follow the guidelines in American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee
309, Guide for Consolidation of Concrete. Where bars meeting ASTM A775 or A934 are used, the vibrators
shall be equipped with rubber or non-metallic vibrator heads. Furnish a spare, working, vibrator on the job
site whenever concrete is placed. Consolidate concrete slabs greater than 4 inches (100 mm) in depth with
high frequency mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand spading and tamping. Consolidate
Taxiway “C” P-610-6 Structural Portland Cement Concrete
Sebastian Municipal Airport
concrete slabs 4 inches (100 mm) or less in depth by wood tampers, spading, and settling with a heavy
leveling straightedge. Operate internal vibrators with vibratory element submerged in the concrete, with a
minimum frequency of not less than 6000 cycles per minute when submerged. Do not use vibrators to
transport the concrete in the forms. Penetrate the previously placed lift with the vibrator when more than
one lift is required. Use external vibrators on the exterior surface of the forms when internal vibrators do
not provide adequate consolidation of the concrete. Vibrators shall be manipulated to work the concrete
thoroughly around the reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into corners and angles of the forms. The
vibration at any point shall be of sufficient duration to accomplish compaction but shall not be prolonged
to where segregation occurs. Concrete deposited under water shall be carefully placed in a compact mass
in its final position by means of a tremie or other approved method and shall not be disturbed after
placement.
610-3.14 Construction joints. If the placement of concrete is suspended, necessary provisions shall be
made for joining future work before the placed concrete takes its initial set. For the proper bonding of old
and new concrete, provisions shall be made for grooves, steps, reinforcing bars or other devices as specified.
The work shall be arranged so that a section begun on any day shall be finished during daylight of the same
day. Before depositing new concrete on or against concrete that has hardened, the surface of the hardened
concrete shall be cleaned by a heavy steel broom, roughened slightly, wetted, and covered with a neat
coating of cement paste or grout.
610-3.15 Expansion joints. Expansion joints shall be constructed at such points and dimensions as
indicated on the drawings. The premolded filler shall be cut to the same shape as the surfaces being joined.
The filler shall be fixed firmly against the surface of the concrete already in place so that it will not be
displaced when concrete is deposited against it.
610-3.16 Defective work. Any defective work discovered after the forms have been removed, which in the
opinion of the Engineer cannot be repaired satisfactorily, shall be immediately removed and replaced at the
expense of the Contractor. Defective work shall include deficient dimensions, or bulged, uneven, or
honeycomb on the surface of the concrete.
610-3.17 Surface finish. All exposed concrete surfaces shall be true, smooth, and free from open or rough
areas, depressions, or projections. All concrete horizontal plane surfaces shall be brought flush to the proper
elevation with the finished top surface struck-off with a straightedge and floated. Mortar finishing shall not
be permitted, nor shall dry cement or sand-cement mortar be spread over the concrete during the finishing
of horizontal plane surfaces.
The surface finish of exposed concrete shall be a rubbed finish. If forms can be removed while the concrete
is still green, the surface shall be wetted and then rubbed with a wooden float until all irregularities are
removed. If the concrete has hardened before being rubbed, a carborundum stone shall be used to finish the
surface. When approved, the finishing can be done with a finishing machine.
610-3.18 Curing and protection. All concrete shall be properly cured and protected by the Contractor.
The concrete shall be protected from the weather, flowing water, and from defacement of any nature during
the project. The concrete shall be cured by covering with an approved material as soon as it has sufficiently
hardened. Water-absorptive coverings shall be thoroughly saturated when placed and kept saturated for at
least three (3) days following concrete placement. All curing mats or blankets shall be sufficiently weighted
or tied down to keep the concrete surface covered and to prevent the surface from being exposed to air
currents. Wooden forms shall be kept wet at all times until removed to prevent opening of joints and drying
out of the concrete. Traffic shall not be allowed on concrete surfaces for seven (7) days after the concrete
has been placed.

Sebastian Municipal Airport
610-3.19 Drains or ducts. Drainage pipes, conduits, and ducts that are to be encased in concrete shall be
installed by the Contractor before the concrete is placed. The pipe shall be held rigidly so that it will not be
displaced or moved during the placing of the concrete.
610-3.20 Cold weather placing. Except when authorized by the Engineer, concrete shall not be placed at
air temperatures below 40°F. When authorized, the Contractor shall provide satisfactory methods and
means to protect the mix from injury by freezing in accordance with ACI 306R.. Concrete damaged by
freezing shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.
610-3.21 Hot weather placing. Concrete shall be properly placed and finished with procedures previously
submitted. The concrete-placing temperature shall not exceed 90°F when measured in accordance with
ASTM C1064. Cooling of the mixing water and aggregates, or both, may be required to obtain an adequate
placing temperature. A retarder meeting the requirements of paragraph 610-2.6 may be used to facilitate
placing and finishing. Steel forms and reinforcement shall be cooled prior to concrete placement when steel
temperatures are greater than 120°F. Conveying and placing equipment shall be cooled if necessary to
maintain proper concrete-placing temperature. Submit the proposed materials and methods for review and
approval by the Engineer, if concrete is to be placed under hot weather conditions.
610-3.22 Sealing joints. All joints that require sealing shall be thoroughly cleaned, and any excess mortar
or concrete shall be cut out with proper tools. Joint sealing shall not start until after final curing and shall
be done only when the concrete is completely dry. The cleaning and sealing shall be done with proper
equipment to obtain a neat looking joint free from excess filler.
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
Structural Portland cement concrete, either non-reinforced or reinforced, will not be measured for payment.
The cost of concrete, complete and accepted, shall be included in the various contract bid items requiring
concrete.

Sebastian Municipal Airport
Item T-905
Topsoiling
DESCRIPTION
905-1.1 This item shall consist of preparing the ground surface for topsoil application, removing topsoil
from areas to be stripped on the site and placing and spreading the topsoil on prepared areas in accordance
with this specification at the locations shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
MATERIALS
905-2.1 Topsoil. Topsoil shall be the surface layer of soil with no admixture of refuse or any material toxic
to plant growth, and it shall be reasonably free from subsoil and stumps, roots, brush, stones (2 inches (50
mm) or more in diameter), and clay lumps or similar objects. Brush and other vegetation that will not be
incorporated with the soil during handling operations shall be cut and removed. Ordinary sod and
herbaceous growth such as grass and weeds are not to be removed, but shall be thoroughly broken up and
intermixed with the soil during handling operations. Heavy sod or other cover, which cannot be
incorporated into the topsoil by discing or other means, shall be removed. The topsoil or soil mixture, unless
otherwise specified or approved, shall have a pH range of approximately 5.5 pH to 7.6 pH, when tested in
accordance with the methods of testing of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists in effect on the
date of invitation of bids. The organic content shall be not less than 3% nor more than 20% as determined
by the wet-combustion method (chromic acid reduction). There shall be not less than 20% nor more than
80% of the material passing the 200 mesh (0.075 mm) sieve as determined by the wash test in accordance
with ASTM C117.
Natural topsoil may be amended by the Contractor with approved materials and methods to meet the above
specifications.
905-2.2 Inspection and tests. Within 10 days following acceptance of the bid, the Engineer shall be notified
of the source of topsoil to be furnished by the Contractor. The topsoil shall be inspected to determine if the
selected soil meets the requirements specified and to determine the depth to which stripping will be
permitted. At this time, the Contractor may be required to take representative soil samples from several
locations within the area under consideration and to the proposed stripping depths, for testing purposes as
specified in paragraph 905-2.1.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
905-3.1 General. Areas to be topsoiled shall be shown on the plans. If topsoil is available on the site, the
location of the stockpiles or areas to be stripped of topsoil and the stripping depths shall be shown on the
plans.
Suitable equipment necessary for proper preparation and treatment of the ground surface, stripping of
topsoil, and for the handling and placing of all required materials shall be on hand, in good condition, and
approved by the Engineer before the various operations are started.
905-3.2 Preparing the ground surface. Immediately prior to dumping and spreading the topsoil on any
area, the surface shall be loosened by discs or spike-tooth harrows, or by other means approved by the
Engineer, to a minimum depth of 2 inches (50 mm) to facilitate bonding of the topsoil to the covered
subgrade soil. The surface of the area to be topsoiled shall be cleared of all stones larger than 2 inches (50
mm) in any diameter and all litter or other material which may be detrimental to proper bonding, the rise
of capillary moisture, or the proper growth of the desired planting. Limited areas, as shown on the plans,
which are too compact to respond to these operations shall receive special scarification.
Taxiway “C” T-905-2 Topsoiling
Sebastian Municipal Airport
Grades on the area to be topsoiled, which have been established by others as shown on the plans, shall be
maintained in a true and even condition. Where grades have not been established, the areas shall be smooth-
graded and the surface left at the prescribed grades in an even and compacted condition to prevent the
formation of low places or pockets where water will stand.
905-3.3 Obtaining topsoil. Topsoil shall be obtained from onsite stripping of the top 4 inches of areas
within the limits of grading as specified in item P-152. Prior to the stripping of topsoil from designated
areas, any vegetation, briars, stumps and large roots, rubbish or stones found on such areas, which may
interfere with subsequent operations, shall be removed using methods approved by the Engineer. Heavy
sod or other cover, which cannot be incorporated into the topsoil by discing or other means shall be
removed.
The topsoil shall be spread on areas already tilled and smooth-graded, or stockpiled in areas approved by
the Engineer. Any topsoil stockpiled by the Contractor shall be rehandled and placed without additional
compensation. Any topsoil that has been stockpiled on the site by others, and is required for topsoiling
purposes, shall be removed and placed by the Contractor. The sites of all stockpiles and areas adjacent
thereto which have been disturbed by the Contractor shall be graded if required and put into a condition
acceptable for seeding.
905-3.4 Placing topsoil. The topsoil shall be evenly spread on the prepared areas to a uniform depth of
inches (50 mm) after compaction, unless otherwise shown on the plans or stated in the special provisions.
Spreading shall not be done when the ground or topsoil is frozen, excessively wet, or otherwise in a
condition detrimental to the work. Spreading shall be carried on so that turfing operations can proceed with
a minimum of soil preparation or tilling.
After spreading, any large, stiff clods and hard lumps shall be broken with a pulverizer or by other effective
means, and all stones or rocks (2 inches (50 mm) or more in diameter), roots, litter, or any foreign matter
shall be raked up and disposed of by the Contractor. After spreading is completed, the topsoil shall be
satisfactorily compacted by rolling with a cultipacker or by other means approved by the Engineer. The
compacted topsoil surface shall conform to the required lines, grades, and cross-sections. Any topsoil or
other dirt falling upon pavements as a result of hauling or handling of topsoil shall be promptly removed.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
905-4.1 Topsoil Placement shall be measured by the number of cubic yards placed in its final position. The
topsoil depth measurement to be used in computing topsoil volume in finished slopes shall not exceed the
specified depth. No measurement for payment for stockpiling and later rehandling of Topsoil Placement
shall be made.
BASIS OF PAYMENT
905-5.1 Payment will be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard for topsoiling (obtained on the site).
This price shall be full compensation for furnishing all materials and for all preparation, placing, and
spreading of the materials, and for all labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the
item.
Payment will be made under:

108-3.6 Bare counterpoise wire installation for lightning protection and grounding. If shown on the
plans or included in the job specifications, bare solid #6 AWG copper counterpoise wire shall be installed
for lightning protection of the underground cables. The Engineer shall select one of two methods of
lightning protection for the airfield lighting circuit based on the frequency of local lightning:
a. Equipotential. – may be used by the Engineer for areas that have high rates of lightning strikes.
This is where the counterpoise is bonded to the light base (edge lights included) and counterpoise size is
determined by the Engineer.
b. Isolation – used in areas where lightning strikes are not common. The counterpoise is not bonded
to edge light fixtures, in-pavement fixtures are boned to the counterpoise. Counterpoise size is selected
by the Engineer.
Counterpoise wire shall be installed in the same trench for the entire length of buried cable, conduits
and duct banks that are installed to contain airfield cables.
For raceways installed under pavement; for raceways and cables not installed adjacent to the full
strength pavement edge; for fixtures installed in full strength pavement and shoulder pavement and for
optional method of edge lights installed in turf (stabilized soils); and for raceways or cables adjacent to
the full strength pavement edge, the counterpoise conductor shall be centered over the raceway or cable to
be protected as described below.
The counterpoise conductor shall be installed no less than 8 inches (203 mm) above the raceway or
cable to be protected, except as permitted below.
The minimum counterpoise conductor height above the raceway or cable to be protected shall be
permitted to be adjusted subject to coordination with the airfield lighting and pavement designs.
Where raceway is installed by the directional bore, jack and bore, or other drilling method, the
counterpoise conductor shall be permitted to be installed concurrently with the directional bore, jack and
bore, or other drilling method raceway, external to the raceway or sleeve.
The counterpoise conductor shall be installed no more than 12 inches (305 mm) above the raceway or
cable to be protected.
The counterpoise conductor height above the protected raceway(s) or cable(s) shall be calculated to
ensure that the raceway or cable is within a 45-degree area of protection.

exothermically welded to the counterpoise wires at each end of a duct bank crossing under pavement.
Where an existing airfield lighting system is being extended or modified, the new counterpoise
conductors shall be interconnected to existing counterpoise conductors at each intersection of the new and
existing airfield lighting counterpoise systems.
108-3.7 Counterpoise installation above multiple conduits and duct banks. Counterpoise wires shall
be installed above multiple conduits/duct banks for airfield lighting cables, with the intent being to
provide a complete area of protection over the airfield lighting cables. When multiple conduits and/or
duct banks for airfield cable are installed in the same trench, the number and location of counterpoise
wires above the conduits shall be adequate to provide a complete cone of protection measured 22-1/2
degrees each side of vertical.
Where duct banks pass under pavement to be constructed in the project, the counterpoise shall be placed
above the duct bank. Reference details on the construction plans.
108-3.8 Counterpoise installation at existing duct banks. When airfield lighting cables are indicated on
the plans to be routed through existing duct banks, the new counterpoise wiring shall be terminated at
ground rods at each end of the existing duct bank where the cables being protected enter and exit the duct
bank. The new counterpoise conductor shall be bonded to the existing counterpoise system.

1. INTRODUCTION
This Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) has been prepared as a supplement to the contract
documents for the Taxiways “C” project at the Sebastian Municipal Airport to set forth requirements for
operational safety during the construction phase of the project. The contractor is required to become
familiar with and follow the procedures set forth in this plan. In addition, the contractor must, after
reviewing the CSPP and prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed (NTP), prepare a Safety Plan
Compliance Document (SPCD) in accordance with FAA AC 150/5370
