REVISION OF SECTION 104
SCOPE OF WORK
Section 104 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows:
Subsection 104.02 shall include:
Site Conditions
A. General:
1. The Contractor acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the nature and location of the
work, the general and local conditions, particularly those bearing upon access to the site;
handling, storage, and disposal of materials; availability of water, electricity and roads;
uncertainties of weather, river stages, or similar physical conditions at the site; the
conformation and conditions of the ground; the equipment and facilities needed preliminary
to and during the execution of the work; and all other matters which can in any way affect the
work or the cost thereof under this Contract.
2. The Contractor further acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the character, quality
and quantity of surface and subsurface materials to be encountered from his inspection of the
site and from reviewing any available records of exploratory work furnished by the Owner or
included in these Documents. Failure by the Contractor to acquaint himself with the physical
conditions of the site and all the available information will not relieve him from responsibility
for properly estimating the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.
3. The Contractor warrants that as a result of his examination and investigation of all the
aforesaid data that he can perform the work in a good and workmanlike manner and to the
satisfaction of the Owner. The Owner assumes no responsibility for any representations
made by any of its officers or agents during or prior to the execution of this Contract, unless
(1) such representations are expressly stated in the Contract, and (2) the Contract expressly
provides that the responsibility therefore is assumed by the Owner.
B. Information on Site Conditions:
Any information obtained by the Engineer regarding site conditions, subsurface information,
groundwater elevations, existing construction of site facilities, and similar data will be available for
inspection, as applicable, at the office of the Engineer upon request. Such information is offered as
supplementary information only. Neither the Engineer nor the Owner assumes any responsibility for
the completeness or interpretation of such supplementary information.
1. Differing Subsurface Conditions:
a. In the event that the subsurface or latent physical conditions are found materially
different from those indicated in these Documents, and differing materially from
those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the character of
work covered in these Contract Documents, the Contractor shall promptly, and before
such conditions are disturbed, notify the Engineer in writing of such changed
conditions.

REVISION OF SECTION 104
SCOPE OF WORK
b. The Engineer will investigate such conditions promptly and following this
investigation, the Contractor shall proceed with the work, unless otherwise instructed
by the Engineer. If the Engineer finds that such conditions do so materially differ
and cause an increase or decrease in the cost of or in the time required for performing
the work, the Engineer will recommend to the Owner the amount of adjustment in
cost and time he considers reasonable. The Owner will make the final decision on all
Change Orders to the Contract regarding any adjustment in cost or time for
completion.
2. Underground Utilities: Known utilities and structures adjacent to or encountered in the work
are shown on the Drawings. The locations shown are taken from existing records and the
best information available from existing utility plans and potholing. However, it is expected
that there may be some discrepancies and omissions in the locations and quantities of utilities
and structures shown. Those shown are for the convenience of the Contractor only, and no
responsibility is assumed by either the Owner or the Engineer for their accuracy or
completeness.
C. Execution:
1. Where the Contractor's operations could cause damage or inconvenience to railway,
telegraph, telephone, television, oil, gas, electricity, water, sewer, or irrigation systems, the
operations shall be suspended until all arrangements necessary for the protection of these
utilities and services have been made by the Contractor.
2. Notify all utility offices which are affected by the construction operation at least 48 hours in
advance. Under no circumstances expose any utility without first obtaining permission from
the appropriate agency. Once permission has been granted, locate, expose, and provide
temporary support for all existing underground utilities.
3. The Contractor shall protect all utility poles from damage. If interfering power poles,
telephone poles, guy wires, or anchors are encountered, notify the Engineer and the
appropriate utility company at least 48 hours in advance of construction operations to permit
the necessary arrangements for protection or relocation of the interfering structure.
4. The Contractor shall be solely and directly responsible to the owner and operators of such
properties for any damage, injury, expense, loss, inconvenience, delay, suits, actions, or
claims of any character brought because of any injuries or damage which may result from the
construction operations under this Contract.
5. Neither the Owner nor its officers or agents shall be responsible to the Contractor for
damages as a result of the Contractor's failure to protect utilities encountered in the work.
6. If the Contractor, while performing the Contract, discovers utility facilities not identified in
the Drawings or Specifications, he shall immediately notify the Owner, utility, and the
Engineer in writing.

7. In the event of interruption to domestic water, sewer, storm drain, or other utility services as a
result of accidental breakage due to construction operations, promptly notify the proper
authority. Cooperate with said authority in the restoration of service as promptly as possible
and bear all costs of repair.
8. The Contractor shall replace, at his own expense, any and all other existing utilities or
structures removed or damaged during construction, unless otherwise provided for in these
Contract Documents or ordered by the Engineer.
9. Interfering Structures - The Contractor shall take necessary precautions to prevent damage to
existing structures whether on the surface, aboveground, or underground. An attempt has
been made to show major structures on the Drawings. The completeness and accuracy cannot
be guaranteed, and it is presented simply as a guide to avoid known possible difficulties.
10. Field Relocation - During the progress of construction, it is expected that minor relocations of
the work will be necessary. Such relocations shall be made only by direction of the Engineer.
If existing structures are encountered that prevent the construction, and that are not properly
shown on the Drawings, notify the Engineer before continuing with the construction in order
that the Engineer may make such field revision as necessary to avoid conflict with the
existing structures. If the Contractor shall fail to so notify the Engineer when an existing
structure is encountered, and shall proceed with the construction despite the interference, he
shall do so at his own risk.
D. Easements: Where portions of the work are located on public or private property, easements and
permits will be obtained by the Owner. Easements will provide for the use of the property for
construction purposes to the extent indicated on the easements. Copies of these easements and
permits are available upon request to the Owner. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to
determine the adequacy of the easement obtained in every case and to abide by all requirements and
provisions of the easement. The Contractor shall confine his construction operations to within the
easement limits or make special arrangements with the property owners or appropriate public agency
for the additional area required. Any damage to property, either inside or outside the limits of the
easements provided by the Owner, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor as specified herein.
The Contractor shall remove, protect, and replace all fences or other items encountered on public or
private property. Before final payment will be authorized by the Engineer, the Contractor will be
required to furnish the Owner with written releases from property owners or public agencies where
side agreements or special easements have been made by the Contractor or where the Contractor's
operations, for any reason, have not been kept within the construction right-of-way obtained by the
Owner
E. Land Monuments: The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of any existing Federal, State, Town,
County, and private land monuments encountered. Private monuments shall be preserved, or
replaced by a licensed surveyor at the Contractor's expense. When Government monuments are
encountered, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least two (2) weeks in advance of the
proposed construction in order that the Engineer will have ample opportunity to notify the proper
authority and reference these monuments for later replacement.

REVISION OF SECTION 108
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
The Contractor will prepare a “two week look ahead” schedule to facilitate coordination of work
items.
Modifications to Time of Completion in the Approved Schedule
The date of beginning and the time for completion of the work are essential conditions of the Contract
Documents and the work embraced shall be commenced on a date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
The Contractor will proceed with the work at such rate of progress to ensure full completion within the
contract time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and the Owner that
the contract time for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable time, taking into
consideration the climatic and other factors prevailing in the locality of the work.
Every effort shall be made by the Contractor to complete the project within the "Contract Time" shown in
the proposal. The "Contract Time" anticipates "Normal" weather and climate conditions in and around
the vicinity of the Project site during the times of year that the construction will be carried out.
Extensions of time based upon weather conditions shall be granted only if the Contractor demonstrates
clearly that such conditions were "unusually severe," would not have been reasonably anticipated, and
that such conditions adversely affected the Contractor’s work and thus required additional time to
complete the work.
The following specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe
weather. The listing below defines the anticipated number of calendar days lost to adverse weather for
each month and is based upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data
for the geographic location of the project.
Monthly Anticipated Calendar Days Lost to Adverse Weather Conditions
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
(7) (4) (4) (4) (6) (3) (4) (2) (3) (3) (2) (5)
The above schedule of anticipated adverse weather will constitute the base line for monthly (or portion
thereof) weather time evaluations. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed and continuing
throughout the contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather days and the impact of adverse
weather days that delay the work will be recorded on a day-to-day basis. It is assumed that the work will
be carried out Mondays through Fridays (holidays excepted) unless an approved construction schedule or
written authorization from the Owner indicates otherwise. The number of days of delayed work due to
adverse weather or the impact thereof will then be compared to the monthly adverse weather schedule
above.
An actual adverse weather day must prevent work for 50 percent or more of the Contractor’s workday,
delay work critical to the timely completion of the project, and be documented by the Contractor. The
City Representative observing the construction shall determine on a daily basis whether or not work can
proceed or if work is delayed due to adverse weather or the effects thereof. The Contractor shall notify
the Engineer in writing of any disagreement as to whether or not work can proceed on a given date, within

REVISION OF SECTION 108
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
2 calendar days of that date. The Owner will use the above written notification in determining the
number of working days for which work was delayed during each month.
At the end of each month, if the number of working days for which work was delayed due to adverse
weather exceeds that shown in the above schedule, a Change Order will be executed which increases the
Contract Time. The number of work days delayed due to adverse weather or the impact thereof will then
be converted to Calendar Days based on the contract completion day and date. This conversion assumes a
5-day work week, Mondays through Fridays, holidays excepted; should the Contractor have authorization
to work weekends and/or holidays, then the method of conversion of workdays to calendar days would
take this into consideration. The contract time period will then be increased by the number of calendar
days calculated above and a new contract completion day and date will be set.
The Contractor’s schedule must reflect the above-anticipated adverse weather delays on all weather-
dependent activities.
While extensions of time shall be granted for "unusually severe" weather or climate conditions, the
Owner shall make no monetary compensation for any costs to the Contractor arising out of such delays.
The Contractor shall comply with the portions of the Contract Documents relating to his project schedule
and amendments thereto which result from the "unusually severe" weather condition.
Breakdowns in equipment or lack of performance by the Contractor will not be considered justification
for an extension of time. Liquidated damages will be assessed as delineated elsewhere.
The Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the delay in
completion of the work is due to the following, and the Contractor has promptly given written notice of
such delay to the Owner or Engineer.
1. To any preference, priority, or allocation order duly issued by the Owner.
2. To unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor,
including but not restricted to, acts of nature, or of the public enemy, acts of the Owner, acts of
another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the Owner, fires, floods, epidemics,
quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and abnormal and unforeseeable weather as
provided above.
3. To any delays of Subcontractors occasioned by any of the causes specified in paragraphs 1 and 2,
above.
Subsection 108.04 shall include the following:
Work Hours: Standard work hours are 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday. No work shall be
permited on weekends or holidays without written approval from the Project Manager. Work activity
done at times other than during normal working hours may require reimbursement to the City for the
overtime cost to the City. Work requests beyond normal working hours must be submitted to the Project
Manager a minimum of (5) working days prior to the request date.
