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. W. Harmony Road Improvement Project Project Special Provisions 12 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, and 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 W.

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.

Harmony Road Improvement Project Project Special Provisions REVISION OF SECTION 105 CONTROL OF WORK Section 105 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows: Subsection 105.02 shall be replaced with: Submittals A. Requirements: 1. Where required by the Specifications, the Contractor shall submit descriptive information that will enable the Engineer to determine whether the Contractor’s proposed materials, equipment, methods of work are in general conformance to the design concept and in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications. The information submitted may consist of drawings, specifications, descriptive data, certificates, samples, test results, product data, and such other information, all as specifically required in the Specifications. In some instances, specified submittal information describes some, but not all features of the material, equipment, or method of work. 2. The Contractor shall be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in each submittal and shall assure that the material, equipment, or method of work shall be as described in the submittal. The Contractor shall verify that all features of all products conform to the requirements of the Drawings and Specifications. The Contractor shall ensure that there is no conflict with other submittals and notify the Engineer in each case where its submittal may affect the work of another Contractor or the Owner. The Contractor shall ensure coordination of submittals among the related crafts and subcontractors. 3. Submittals will be reviewed for overall design intent and returned to Contractor with action to be indicated by the Engineer. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to assure that previously accepted documents are destroyed when they are superseded by a resubmittal as such. 4. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that required items are corrected and resubmitted. Any work done before approval shall be at the Contractor’s own risk. B. Submittal Procedure: 1. Unless a different number is called for in the individual sections, four (4) copies of each submittal and sample are required, two (2) of which will be retained by the Engineer. The Contractor shall receive two (2) copies in return. Faxed submittals will not be accepted. 2. Submittals that are related to or affect each other shall be forwarded simultaneously as a package to facilitate coordinated review. Uncoordinated submittals will be rejected. 3. If the items or system proposed are acceptable but the major part of the individual drawings or documents are incomplete or require revision, the submittal will be returned with requirements for completion. 16 W. Harmony Road Improvement Project Project Special Provisions REVISION OF SECTION 105 CONTROL OF WORK 4. The right is reserved for the Engineer to require submittals in addition to those called for in individual sections. 5. Submittals regarding material and equipment shall be submitted directly to the Engineer and will be accompanied by a transmittal form. A separate form shall be used for each specific item, class of material, equipment, and items specified in separate discrete sections for which the submittal is required. Submittals for various items shall be made with a single form when the items taken together constitute a manufacturer’s package or are so functionally related that expediency indicates checking or review of the group or package as a whole. 6. A unique number, sequentially assigned, shall be noted on the transmittal form accompanying each item submitted. Original submittal numbers shall have the following format: “XXXY;” where “XXX” is the originally assigned submittal number and “Y” is a sequential letter assigned for resubmittals (i.e., A, B, or C being the first, second and third resubmittals, respectively). Submittal 25B, for example, is the second resubmittal of Submittal 25. 7. If the Contractor proposes to provide material, equipment, or method of work that deviates from the Contract Documents, it shall indicate so under “deviations” on the transmittal form accompanying the submittal copies. 8. Submittals that do not have all the information required to be submitted, including deviations, are not acceptable and will be returned without review. C. Review Procedure: 1. Submittals are specified for those features and characteristics of materials, equipment, and methods of operation that can be selected based on the Contractor’s judgment of their conformance to the requirements of the Drawing and Specifications. Other features and characteristics are specified in a manner that enables the Contractor to determine acceptable options without submittals. The review procedure is based on the Contractor’s guarantee that all features and characteristics not requiring submittals conform to the Drawings and Specifications. Review shall not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or to verifying quantities, dimensions, weights or gages, or fabrication processes (except where specifically indicated or required by the Specifications) of separate items, and as such, will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. 2. Unless otherwise specified, within twenty-one (21) calendar days after receipt of the submittal, the Engineer will review the submittal and return copies. The returned submittal will indicate one of the following actions: a. If the review indicates that the material, equipment, or work method complies with the Specifications, submittal copies will be marked “NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN”. In this event, the Contractor may begin to implement the work method or incorporate the material or equipment covered by the submittal. b. If the review indicates limited corrections are required, copies will be marked “REVIEWED, COMMENTS AS NOTED”. The Contractor may begin implementing the W. Harmony Road Improvement Project Project Special Provisions 17 REVISION OF SECTION 105 CONTROL OF WORK work method or incorporating the material and equipment covered by the submittal in accordance with the noted corrections. Where submittal information will be incorporated in Operation and Maintenance data, a corrected copy shall be provided. c. If the review indicates that the submittal is insufficient or contains incorrect data, copies will be marked “REVISE AND RESUBMIT”. Except at its own risk, the Contractor shall not undertake work covered by this submittal until it has been revised, resubmitted and returned marked either “NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN” or “REVIEWED, COMMENTS AS NOTED”. d. If the review indicates that the material, equipment, or work method do not comply with the Specifications, copies of the submittal will be marked “REJECTED”. Submittals with deviations that have not been identified clearly may be rejected.

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. W. Harmony Road Improvement Project Project Special Provisions 29 REVISION OF SECTION 108 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS 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 J A N F E B M A R A P R M A Y J U N J U L A U G S E P O C T N O V D E C (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 accepted) 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 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, and 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. W. Harmony Road Improvement Project Project Special Provisions 30 REVISION OF SECTION 108 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS 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 God, 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. 4. To any delays created by the adjoining Harmony/Shields Intersection Improvements Project. 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 permitted on weekends or holidays without written approval from the Project Manager. Work requests beyond normal working hours must be submitted to the Project Manager a minimum of (5) working days prior to the request date. W.
