Park Planning & Development Division Page 1 of 3
DIVISION 1
SECTION 01160 – SITE CONDITIONS
PART 1 - SITE INVESTIGATIONS AND REPRESENTATION
1.01 General Investigations
A. 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, 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.
1.02 Soil Conditions
A. 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.
1.03 Contractor Representation
A. 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.
PART 2 - INFORMATION ON SITE CONDITIONS
2.01 General
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.
A. Differing Subsurface Conditions:
1. 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 Owner in writing of
such changed conditions.
2. 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.
City of Fort Collins SECTION 01160 – SITE CONDITIONS
Park Planning & Development Division Page 2 of 3
B. Underground Utilities:
1. 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, 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.
PART 3 - CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR UTILITY PROPERTIES AND SERVICE
3.01 General
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. The Contractor shall protect all utility poles from damage. If interference of power poles, telephone
poles, guy wires, or anchors is encountered, notify the Owner’s Representative 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.
D. 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.
E. 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.
F. If the Contractor while performing the Contract discovers utility facilities not identified in the
Drawings or Specifications, he shall immediately notify the Owners and the utility in writing.
G. 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. In
no case shall interruption of any water or utility service be allowed to exist outside working hours
unless prior approval is granted.
H. 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.
3.02 Interfering Structures
A. 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.

known possible difficulties.
City of Fort Collins SECTION 01160 – SITE CONDITIONS
Park Planning & Development Division Page 3 of 3
3.03 Field Relocation
A. 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 Owner’s Representative. If existing structures
are encountered that prevent the construction, and that are not properly shown on the Drawings, notify
the Owner’s Representative before continuing with the construction in order that the Owner’s
Representative may make such field revision as necessary to avoid conflict with the existing structures.
If the Contractor shall fail to so notify the Owner’s Representative when an existing structure is
encountered, and shall proceed with the construction despite the interference, he shall do so at his own
risk.
3.04 Easements
A. Easements will be obtained by the Owner where portions of the work are located on public or private
property. Easements will provide for the use of the property for construction purposes to the extent
indicated within the easement agreements. 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 Owner’s Representative, 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.
B. It is anticipated that the required easements and permits will be obtained before construction is started.
However, should the procurement of any easement or permit be delayed, the Contractor shall schedule
and perform the work around these areas until such a time as the easement or permit has been secured.
3.05 Land Monuments
A. The Contractor shall notify the Owner’s Representative 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 Owner’s Representative at least two (2) weeks in advance of the proposed
construction in order that the Owner’s Representative will have ample opportunity to notify the proper
authority and reference these monuments for later replacement.

DIVISION 1
SECTION 01310 - CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 General
A. It is the intent of the Owner to begin construction as soon as possible after the opening of the bid. The
signing of the contract and issuance of a Notice to Proceed will be completed promptly to accomplish
that objective. The Notice to Proceed will authorize the Contractor to begin project administration and
construction work on the site. Construction work shall not begin on site prior to the pre-construction
conference.
B. The Contractor shall complete all work, including cleanup of the site by “Substantial Completion” date,
specified in the Agreement, subject to the "Liquidated Damages" provision described under
"Instructions to Bidders."
C. Delays during project contract period outside control of the Contractor are subject to time extension
consideration but not financial compensation unless such delay is significant enough to reasonably
require Owner initiated work suspension (demobilization) as determined in the field by the Owner at
the time of occurrence. See Paragraph 1.04 for requirements for modifying the Contract Time due to
weather delays.
D. Contractor shall plan and schedule his own work effort (personnel, equipment and material) to
complete the project satisfactorily within the project time limits. Such schedule shall be in general
conformance with the schedule submitted at the pre-construction conference. This includes the
requirement that the Contractor conduct his operations to enable a shift of work effort from one part of
the project to another to reasonably accommodate unexpected delays, and to conduct his daily
operations so as to not create a public nuisance including but not limited to access or traffic
obstruction, dust and mud generation, work outside of construction limits, noise, unsatisfactory cleanup
or site restoration, unacceptable equipment/materials staging, flooding, etc. No work is to begin at the
site until City's acceptance of the Construction Schedule.
E. Contractor shall prepare and submit a Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule. The schedule shall show
all work completed within the contract time and shall cover the time from the date of Notice to Proceed
to the completion date. Contractor shall use Microsoft Project 2000 or approved equivalent to develop
and manage the CPM schedule.
F. Schedule shall include milestones that demonstrate the Contractor’s approach to completing the project
within project time limits. Milestones shall be of sufficient number to indicate regular progress of work
and shall identify major components of the work. Milestones are subject to Owner approval prior to
work beginning at the site. If Contractor fails to meet a milestone, contractor shall submit an updated
schedule subject to Owner approval and demonstrate how the remaining milestones will be met. The
Owner may order work shut down or suspended for nonconformance with the approved schedule (See
Paragraph G. below)
G. Milestones (minimum required items)
H. The Contractor may voluntarily shut down or suspend work due to conditions beyond his control
provided a minimum of 24 hours notice is provided to the Owner together with the reasons for subject
suspension of work. The Contractor shall leave the project conditions in such a way so as not to cause
a public nuisance or a threat to public safety. Neither remobilization costs nor additional time will be
allowed for such suspension unless agreed to in writing in advance.
I. The Owner or Engineer may order work shut down or suspended for such nonconformance issues as
unsafe conditions, nonconformance with schedule, cause of public nuisance, unnecessary private
property disturbance, materials and labor unsuited to the task, nonconformance to technical
specifications, failure to comply with permits, etc. The Owner or Engineer will give a written warning
to the Contractor with a specified deadline during which time the Contractor shall remedy the cause(s)
City of Fort Collins – Soft Gold Park SECTION 01310 – CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
Park Planning & Development Division Page 2 of 4
described on the warning. Failure to do so shall justify the Owner or Engineer to order work shut down
or suspended. Such shutdown will not be compensated by cost reimbursement or time schedule
adjustment.
J. Failure to promptly execute the approved schedule in the judgment of the Owner will result in a written
warning submitted to the Contractor explaining the specific compliance needed. Failure of the
Contractor to remedy the noted items may be considered a breach of contract possibly leading to work
shutdown for cause or contract termination.
1.02 Format and Submissions
A. Prepare Construction and Procurement schedules in a graphic format suitable for displaying schedule
and actual progress.
B. Submit two copies of each schedule to owner for review. Owner will return one copy to contractor with
revisions suggested or necessary for coordination of the Work with the needs of Owner or others.
1.03 Progress Revisions
A. A schedule update shall be submitted to the Owner at each weekly progress meeting that will reflect
work performed in the previous week and the upcoming two-(2) weeks. Schedule updates shall not
change any Contract times.
B. A complete schedule update shall be submitted with each application for progress payment.
C. Show changes occurring since previous submission.
1. Actual progress of each item to date.
2. Revised projections of progress and completion.
D. Provide a narrative report as needed to define:
1. Anticipated problems, recommended actions, and their effects on the schedule.
2. The effect of changes on schedules of other work.
1.04 Modifications to Time of Completion in the Approved Schedule
A. The date of beginning and the times 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 a “Normal” weather and climate condition 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.
B. 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.
City of Fort Collins – Soft Gold Park SECTION 01310 – CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
Park Planning & Development Division Page 3 of 4
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 excluded) 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 Construction Coordinator 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.
C. 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 workdays 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.
D. The Contractor’s schedule must reflect the above-anticipated adverse weather delays on all weather-
dependent activities.
E. 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.
F. 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.
G. 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; and
3. To any delays of Subcontractors occasioned by any of the causes specified in paragraphs 1 and 2,
above.

2. Unpaved Areas - 90 percent
B. Control moisture content within 2% of optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D 698.
Where subgrade or layer of soil material is too dry to permit compaction to the specified density,
uniformly apply water to surface of cut area, subgrade, or loosely placed layer of soil material.
Mix soil and applied water by blading, disking, or other methods to achieve uniform moisture
content throughout the soil mass to be compacted.
C. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to
specified density. Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compaction
may be stockpiled or spread and allowed to dry. Assist drying by disking, harrowing or
pulverizing until moisture content is reduced to a satisfactory value.
D. Puddling is not an acceptable method of compaction.
3.06 Grading
A. Paved Areas: Immediately prior to placing structural pavements, shape area to the required
lines, grades, and limits to provide the finished elevations indicated and roll with an approved
heavy vibratory roller until compacted to the specified density. Maintain moisture content within
2% of optimum during final rolling and until subgrade is covered by subsequent construction.
Remove loose material and protect subgrade until covered. The subgrade under all paved areas
shall conform to the proposed subgrade elevations of the trail.

City of Fort Collins Section 07900 – Joint Sealers
Park Planning & Development Division Page 3 of 5
B. Acceptance: Beginning of installation means acceptance of existing conditions.
3.02 Preparation
A. Preparation of Surfaces
1. Clean surfaces in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.
2. Mask edges, if required to protect adjoining surfaces and produce a straight finish
line.
3. Clean joint surfaces immediately before installation of sealant. Remove dirt, insecure
coatings, moisture and other substances which would interfere with bond of sealant.
4. Do not proceed with installation of sealant over joint surfaces which have been painted,
lacquered, waterproofed or treatead with water repellent or other treatment of coating.
Remove coating or treatment joint surfaces before installing sealant.
5. Each concrete masonry joint surfaces to remove excess alkalinity unless sealant
manufacturers printed instruction indicates that alkalinity does not interfere with
sealant bond and performance. Etch with 5% solution of muriatic acid, neutralize with
diluted ammonia solution, rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry before sealant
installation.
B. Priming: If required, prime surfaces which are to be caulked with manufacturers recommended or
standard primer, after the surfaces have been prepared as specified. Before use, check primers for
discoloration and dirt pick-up on adjacent surfaces. If staining occurs, after exposure, take
adequate measures to prevent the primer from being applied over the face of adjacent porous
materials by masking or other suitable measures.
C. Joint Backing:
1. Joints shall be of depth necessary to provide for the specified allowable thickness of
sealant and also the required backing where and as specified. Provide backing of extent
and type as specified and required to provide for the allowable depth of the sealant.
2. Back-up Materials for Sealants: Non-staining, compatible with the sealant and primer,
shall be of a resilient nature and as recommended by the manufacturer of the sealant.
Size and shape of the backing shall be as required by the width of the joint and specified.
Do not use materials impregnated with oil, solvents, or bituminous materials.
3. Compress backing material a minimum of 30% when inserted in the joint. Backing
material for the upper portion of joint shall be a round rod or semi-circular in cross-
section with the arc in contact with the sealant.
D. Bond Breaker Tape: Install where indicated and as required by manufacturer’s recommendations
to ensure that sealants will perform properly.
3.03 Application
A. Exterior Metal Sills: Set in full bed of polyurethane sealant.
B. Thresholds: Set in full bed of latex acrylic sealant.
C. Caulk Joints:
1. Apply sealants in continuous beads without open joints, voids, or air pockets, using a
ratchet hand gun or mechanical powered gun.
2. Confine sealants to joint areas with masking tapes or other precautions. Apply
compounds in concealed compression joints accurately so that excess compound will not
extrude from joints.
City of Fort Collins Section 07900 – Joint Sealers
Park Planning & Development Division Page 4 of 5
3. Remove excess compound or sealant promptly as work progresses, and clean adjoining
surfaces.
4. In rough surfaces or joints of uneven widths, install sealant, well back into joint. Recess
equal to width of joint, or 3/8" minimum at masonry.
5. Use anti-tack agent where necessary to protect freshly applied sealant from public traffic
and dirt.
6. Slightly recessed joints as to facilitate a painters line. Handtool and finish joints
throughout construction.
7. Comply with manufacturers printed instructions and specifications.
D. Concrete Paving Expansion Joints: Cut expansion joint filler down to allow joint depth equal to
75% of joint width, but neither more than 0.625" deep nor less than 0.375" deep. Seal over
expansion joint filler with poured sealant.
E. Workmanship: Employ only proven installation techniques, which will ensure that sealants will be
deposited in uniform, continuous ribbons without gaps or air pockets, with complete Αwetting≅ of
the joint bond surfaces equally on opposite sides. Except as otherwise indicated, fill sealant rabbet
to a slightly concave surface, slightly below adjoining surfaces. Where horizontal joints are
between a horizontal surface and a vertical surface, fill joint to form a slight cove, so that joint will
not trap moisture and dirt.
F. Joint Sizes: Install sealants to depths as indicated or, as recommended by the sealant manufacturer
but within the following general limitations:
1. For normal moving joints sealed with elastomeric sealants but not subject to traffic, fill
joints to a depth equal to 50% of joint width, but not more than 1/2" deep or less than
1/4" deep.
2. For joints sealed with non-elastomeric sealants and caulking compounds, fill joints to a
depth in the range of 75% to 125% of joint width.
G. Spillage:
1. Do not allow sealants or compounds to overflow or spill onto adjoining surfaces, or to
migrate into the voids of adjoining surfaces. Use masking tape or other precautionary
devices to prevent staining of adjoining surfaces, by either the primer/sealer or the
sealant.
2. Remove excess and spillage of compounds promptly as the work progresses. Clean the
adjoining surfaces by whatever means may be necessary to eliminate evidence of
spillage. Do not damage the adjoining surfaces or finishes.
3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Samples: Where directed by the Architect, cut out and remove a total of three samples consisting
of the undisturbed sealant and back-up material from the joint. Samples shall be 6" in length.
Reseal cut out areas with the same materials.
3.05 CURING, PROTECTION AND CLEANING
A. Curing: Cure sealants and caulking compounds in compliance with manufacturer=s instructions
and recommendations, to obtain high early bond strength, internal cohesive strength and surface
durability.
B. Protection:
City of Fort Collins Section 07900 – Joint Sealers
Park Planning & Development Division Page 5 of 5
1. Advise the General Contractor of procedures required for the protection of sealants
during the construction period, so that they will be without deterioration or damage (other
than normal weathering) at the time of acceptance.
C. Cleaning:
1. Protect surfaces from damage. Clean soiled surfaces immediately. Replace with
new material any damaged material which cannot be cleaned with new material.
