specific orders given by the Engineer to stop work, or by the performance of extra work,
or by the failure of the City to provide materials or necessary instructions for carrying on
the work, then such delay will entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, -�
his application for which shall, however,be subject to the approval of the City Council;
and no such extension of time shall release the Contractor or the surety on his
performance bond from all obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until
the discharge of the contract.

complete the work covered by the specific contract being bid upon. The amount of time
so stated by the successful bidder or the City will become the time of completion
specified in the Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in

by the Contractor.
3. Prior to acceptance of the equipment, the Contractor shall have the manufacturer inspect the
equipment and certify in writing to the Owner that its condition has not been detrimentally
affected by the long storage period. Such certification by the manufacturer shall be deemed to
mean that the equipment is judged by the manufacturer to be in a condition equal to that of
equipment that has been shipped,installed,tested and accepted in a minimum time period. As
such, the manufacturer will guarantee the equipment equally in both instances. If such a
certification is not given,the equipment shall be judged to be defective. It shall be removed and
replaced at the Contractor's expense.
C. Store materials in accordance with manufacturer's instructions,with seals and labels intact and legible.
1. Store products subject to damage by the elements in weathertight enclosures.
2. Maintain temperature and humidity within the ranges required by manufacturer's instructions.
