The Contractor shall also revise the schedule to reflect any adjustments in contract time approved by the Engineer. Three copies of the updated schedule shall be delivered at such intervals as directed by the Engineer. As a minimum, the construction schedule shall incorporate all work elements and activities indicated in the proposal and in the technical specifications. �. C4-4 (3) Prior to the final drafting of the detailed construction schedule, the Contractor shall review the draft schedule with the Engineer to ensure the Contractor's understanding of the contract requirements. The following guidelines shall be adhered to in preparing the construction schedule: a. Milestone dates and final project completion dates shall be developed to conform to the time constraints, sequencing requirements and completion time. b. The construction progress shall be divided into activities with time durations of approximately fourteen days (14) days and construction values not to exceed$50,000. Fabrication, delivery and submittal activities are exceptions to this guideline. C. Durations shall be in calendar days and normal holidays and weather conditions over the duration of the contract shall be accounted for within the duration of each activity. d. One critical path shall be shown on the construction schedule. e. Float time is defined as the amount of time between the earliest start date and the latest start date of a chain of activities of the CPM construction ^^ schedule. Float time is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Contractor or the Owner. f. Thirty days shall be used for submittal review unless otherwise specified. The construction schedule shall as a minimum, be divided into general categories as indicated in the Proposal and Technical Specifications and each general category shall be broken down into activities in enough detail to achieve activities of approximately fourteen(14) days duration. For each general category, the construction schedule shall identify all trades or subcontracts whose work is represented by activities that follow the guidelines of this Section. For each of the trades or subcontracts, the construction schedule shall indicate the following procurements, construction and preacceptance activities and events in their logical sequence for equipment and materials. 1. Preparation and transmittal of submittals 2. Submittal review periods. C4-4 (4) • 3. Shop fabrication and delivery. 4. Erection or installation. 5. Transmittal of manufacturer's operation and maintenance instructions. 6. Installed equipment and materials testing. 7. Owner's operator instruction(if applicable). 8. Final inspection. 9.

It is understood that the partial pay estimates will be approximate only, and all partial pay estimates and payment of the same will be subject to correction in the estimate rendered following the discovery of an error in any previous estimate. Payment of any partial pay estimate shall not, in any respect,be taken as an admission of the Owner of the amount of work done or of its quality of sufficiency, or as an acceptance of the work done or the release of the Contractor of any of his responsibilities under the �. Contract Documents. The City reserves the right to withhold the payment of any partial estimate if the Contractor fails to perform the work in strict accordance with the specifications or other provisions of this Contract." 22.

Where the term "or equal," or " or approved equal" is used, it is understood that if a material, product, or piece of equipment bearing the name so used is furnished it will be approvable, as the particular trade name was used for the purpose of establishing a standard of quality acceptable to the City. If a product of any other name is proposed for use, the Engineer's approval thereof must be obtained before the proposed substitute is procured by the Contractor. Where the term "or equal," or "or approved equal" is not used in the specifications, this does not necessarily exclude alternative items or material or equipment which may accomplish the intended purpose. However, the Contractor shall have the full responsibility of proving that the proposed substitution is, in fact, equal, and the Engineer, as the representative of the City, shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of substitutions. The provisions of this sub-section as related to "Substitutions" shall be applicable to all sections of these specifications. D-33 DEHOLES (MISC. EXT.) The Contractor excavates for existing water and/or sanitary sewer main as detailed by work order together with a sketch.

Omission from or the inclusion of utility locations on the Plans is not to be considered as the nonexistence of, or a definite location of, existing underground utilities. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to verify locations of adjacent and/or conflicting utilities sufficiently in advance of construction in order that he may negotiate such local adjustments as necessary in the dehole process to provide adequate clearances. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions in order to protect all services encountered. Any damage to utilities resulting from the Contractor's operations, shall be restored at his expense. Payment for work such as backfill and all other associated appurtenants required shall be included in the price of the appropriate bid item.

Any easements and/or permits, both temporary and permanent that have not been obtained by the time of publication shall be secured before construction starts. No work is to be done in areas requiring easements and/or permits until the necessary easements are obtained. The Contractor's attention is directed to the easement description and permit requirements, as contained herein, along with any special conditions that may have been imposed on these easements and permits. Where the pipeline crosses privately owned property, the easements and construction areas are shown on the plans. The easements shall be cleaned up after use and restored to their original conditions or better. In the event additional workroom or access is required by the Contractor, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to obtain written permission 'OZI pue 811 uzalz suotl.eoToodS pnpuejs iuom) LdaQ gmAA, otlgnd glIoAk fol gl.tm aouepi000e u1 ouop ag Iltm pa.zlnbaz 2utgolnuz olpSq to fulPpos �uv :JNIQQOS (INV JNIGaaS HO IIIW OUGAH LS-(I •u01100s stgj pue X1t0 oqj jo saoueutplo oqj gJtm oouepj000e ut sleuajeuz eons Io asodsip pie asuadxa s;t it, Ituo;tuz Ilg/I?ods aqj anouzaz imus 1010e4uo0 `gioAk otlgnd pue uogR:podsuezL Io .zoloaztQ oqj Sq uogtotjjllou uodn `ails IesodslP agl autnwdde iojv4smTTupV oqj uto4 nuol L zo iluuod IIg e }nogjtm ails U Te leuaTeuz i UMOds Io sosodstp ioloe4wo oql JUgj Juana aqj ul asuadxa ,sjojo,-quoo Ie ag Ileus `salPnjs nuuaaut5ua ILtss000u Xue Dutpnlout `�luuad IIU agl futumlgo gjIm paletoosse sosuodxo SuV mreld poojl oqj uttmm Ilu �?utzt.zotRne Ituuad IIt3 uiUld pooi3 e Xg io ureld pooll umo" e ut jou sl oils oqj Iegj futltels joj-e-4slutiupV oqj Xg pouats .iopol u Xg paouaptna ag Ilugs salts lesodstp s.101oe4uoo ag} Io IenoiddV. -uteld poolr v ut jou on, sails lesodstp It poiinbai st_ l.tuuad IIg oN •satpnis 'Ouuaauffuo Xiess000u Io I'eAwdde uodn pansst ag ueo ltuuod ureld pooll V •Iluuod e jnogjtm ureld pooll e uigllm fuuzn000 jou st fuilltd lEg} omsuo of iol'ezl.stutuzpV aqj rig panoidde ag Isnuz soils lesodslp IIV (9S00I 'oX ooueutpz0) WOAA, liod jo XIt0 aqI Io aoueutpzO ureld poold oql jo sluouta.itnba.z oqj loom of.zol 4siunupV agl Xg poutuualap uaag aneg salts posodozd aqj I1jun leualem Bons Io osodslP jou IILgs ioloe4wo -ILualeut eons Io osodsip of spuajut .zojoe4uoo oqj azagm sails 11V Io uol;cool oqj Io `(,,.zol-eustiutupV„) IO ezlsmRUpv uteld poo13 s,gazoAk lto,I Io X41O oql se 'Outoe `s�lioA, le� otlgnd pie uotzodsutuL jo joloattQ oql oslnpe IILgs colo 4mo oql `l molLmz 11g/hods Xue Io fuisodstp oqj o} loud Iivma,Lvw III3/11IOdS do IVSOdSIQ tis-Q •aoud ptg aql Io Ituul oql of papuaixo ag)eui looF61d agl `omomouoo s,zojm, uo0 oqj pine uotldo s,,110 oqj IL, `pound Xep mpuop3o 081 agl Io puo oql it, aoud ptg agl Io mull oqj uegj ssol st l.oe4uo0 stgl iopun pauuolzad 4.iom oqj jo Isoo agl.II -uotleutuual Io mp 1egj.zaje paILep uotlnooxo joj zap.zo 31iom Xue id000e of pojinba.z ag jou Ilam Ing uoljeutuual Io alep wqi of .loud pansst tapio 31zorn t, Xg pa.zanoo 31zom t�UP ajaldum ol paztnbat ag iiegs .zojo84uo0 aq j •lsztg In000 pinogs zanagoigm `aoud ptg o-qj jo haul oql paaoxa of lou ioe4uo0 atP Io alep oqj futmollo.I seep mpualeo 081 paaoxa ol lou ioj jn4uo0 s1gj iopun pauuoj.Iad ag of 4jom ioj zol.oe4wo oqj of pansst ag Iltm szap.z0 �IzoAA, jegj palelduzaluoo st 1I IXa 'OSIW ZOV21,LN00 30 93I l St-(I •pouuoj.iad sotltlumb 1wpov pine umogs satlliuenb polmr!1so o-qj uaamlag sumU-Bn aqj uo 11uttl ou ag of si azagl e. `zanoa.IOW •(£-1,-{,0 pine Z'Z-ZD suotltpuo0 le.zauag ooS) saplluenb Ienioe aql Ioallaz jou keut pie XIuo uosuedutoo ptg zoj on, Iesodoij o-qj ut suzall snou-BA otp Io sopliuenb P1g ,LXa 'OSIW S9I111NVI1 QIR £t-(I •uzall stgl ioj pomolIt, ag Illm juatu�ed 1-cumppu oN -paimbai S-ltado.zd lieuotltppe Io osn agj ioj panlonut s.zaumo f4jodo.zd oLD uzozl If in the opinion of the Engineer, additional seeding and/or sodding is required due to the Contractor's construction, this will be seeded and sodded at the expense of the Contractor.

Typically, the OZONE SEASON, within the Metroplex area, runs from May 1, through OCTOBER 31, with 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. being critical BECAUSE EMISSIONS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BAKE IN THE HOT ATMOSPHERE THAT LEADS TO EARLY AFTERNOON OZONE FORMATION. . The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), in coordination with the National Weather Service, will issue the Air Pollution Watch by 3:00 p.m. on the afternoon prior to the WATCH day. On designated Air Pollution Watch Days, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of being aware that such days have been designated Air Pollution Watch Days and as such shall not begin work until 10:00 a.m. whenever construction phasing requires the use of motorized equipment for periods in excess of 1 hour. However, the Contractor may begin work prior to 10:00 a.m. if use of motorized equipment is less than 1 hour, or if equipment is new and certified by EPA as "Low Emitting", or equipment burns Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), diesel emulsions, or alternative fuels such as CNG. If the Contractor is unable to perform continuous work for a period of at least seven hours between the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., on a designated Air Pollution Watch Day, that day will be considered as a weather day and added onto the allowable weather days of a given month.

Establish sufficient control points and benchmarks as references for tolerance checks. Maintain these references in undisturbed condition until final completion and acceptance of the project. 3.03 ADJUSTMENTS OF FORMWORK A. Use wedges or jacks to provide positive adjustment of shores and struts. Wedges used for final adjustment of forms should be fastened in position after final inspection and before concrete placement. B. Securely brace forms against lateral deflections. Prepare to compensate for settling during concrete placement. C. For wall openings, construct wood forms that facilitate any necessary loosening to counteract swelling of forms. 3.04 PREPARATION OF FORM SURFACES A. Before placing concrete, clean surfaces of forms and embedded materials. Remove accumulated mortar, grout, rust, and other foreign matter. B. Coat forms for exposed or painted concrete surfaces with form oil or form-release agent compatible with concrete finish coating before placing reinforcement. Cover form surfaces with coating material used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions. Do not allow excess coating material to accumulate in forms or to contact hardened concrete against which fresh concrete will be placed. Remove coating material from reinforcement before placing concrete. C. Other than retained-in-place metal forms, forms for unexposed surfaces may be moistened with water immediately before concrete placement in lieu of coating. 3.05 REMOVAL OF FORMS A. Forms on vertical surfaces, when repair of surface defects or finishing is required before concrete is aged, may be removed as soon as concrete has hardened sufficiently to resist damage from removal operations. B. Remove top forms on sloping surfaces of concrete as soon as concrete has attained sufficient stiffness to prevent sagging. Loosen wood forms for wall openings as soon as this can be accomplished without damage to concrete. Formwork for columns, walls, sides of beams, and other parts not supporting weight of concrete may be removed after 12 hours provided that concrete has hardened sufficiently to resist damage from removal operations, and provided the removal of these forms will not disturb members supporting the weight of the concrete. CFW0332 ISSUE:0 SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS AT ENTRANCES 03100 - 3 AUGUST 3,2004 ACE CONCRETE FORMWORK C. All forms and shoring used to support weight of concrete or any construction loads shall remain in place until concrete has reached the minimum strength specified for removal of forms and shoring. In no case shall support forms be removed in less than four (4) days. 3.06 REMOVAL STRENGTH A. Control Tests: Suitable strength control tests will be used as evidence that concrete has attained specified strength for removal of formwork or shoring supporting the weight of concrete in beams, slabs, and other structural members. 1. Field-Cured Test Cylinders: When field-cured test cylinders reach the specified removal strength, formwork or shoring may be removed from the respective concrete placements. Strength data from field-cured test cylinders shall be furnished by the Contractor. 2. Laboratory-Cured Test Cylinders: When concrete has been cured as specified for cast-in-place concrete for the same time period required by laboratory-cured cylinders to reach specified strength, the formwork or shoring may be removed from respective concrete placements. Determine the length of time that the concrete placement has been cured by totaling the number of days or fraction of days, not necessarily consecutive, during which the air temperature surrounding the concrete is above 50°F and the concrete has been damp or thoroughly sealed against evaporation and loss of moisture. B. Compressive Strengths: The minimum concrete compressive strengths for removal of all formwork supporting the weight of concrete shall be 75 percent of the specified minimum 28-day strength of the class of concrete involved. 3.07 RESHORING A. When reshoring is permitted or required, plan operations in advance and secure approval of such operations. While reshoring is under way, keep live load off the new construction. Do not permit concrete beams, slab, column, or other structural member to be subjected to combined dead and construction loads in excess of loads permitted for developed concrete strength at the time of reshoring. B. Place reshores as soon as practicable after stripping operations are complete, but in no case later than the end of the working day on which stripping occurs. Tighten reshores to carry the required loads without overstressing construction. Leave reshores in place until tests representative of concrete being supported have reached specified strength at time of removal of formwork supporting the weight of concrete. C. Floors supporting shores under newly placed concrete shall have their original supporting shores left in place or shall be reshored. The reshores shall be located directly under a shore position above, unless other locations are permitted. Extend reshoring over a sufficient number of stories to distribute weight of newly placed concrete, forms, and construction live loads in such a manner that the design superimposed the loads of floors supporting shores are not exceeded.
