VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of

low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-State contractors whose corporate offices or principal
place of business are outside of the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements,

and trainees, to be employed in the classification or their representatives
and the City of Fort Worth, Texas do not agree on the proposed
classification and wage rate (including the designated for fringe benefits
where appropriate),the City of Fort Worth, Texas shall send the questions,
including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the
sponsor,to the FAA to be referred,with the recommendation of the FAA,to
the Department of Labor for final determination. The Department of Labor {
will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt or provide notification

or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate,the
Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall
pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. In the
event the interested parties cannot agree upon a cash equivalent of the fringe
benefit, the question accompanied by the recommendation of the FAA shall be
referred to the Secretary of Labor for determination (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii)).
4. If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, he may
consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs _
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or
program. Provided, however, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the
written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon
Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside
in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or

B-4 Apprentices and trainees.
1. Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined -
rate for the work they performed when they are employed and individually registered
in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S.Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or _
with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau or if a person is
employed in his first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such
an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but
who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary
employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen in
POFZ contract.doc II-6
any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor
as to his entire work force under the registered program. Any employee listed on a
payroll at an apprentice wage rate,who is not registered or otherwise employed as
stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage rate
determination for the work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered
program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing
construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is
registered,the ratios and wage rates(expressed in percentages of the journeyman's
hourly rate)specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall
be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in
the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a
percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage
determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not
specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of the fringe
benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the
Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable
apprentice classification, fringe benefits shall be paid in accordance with that
determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of the
apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize
apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
until an acceptable program is approved. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)).
2. Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16,trainees will not be permitted to work
at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received
prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.
The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than
permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration.
Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved
program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees
shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee
program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be
paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an
apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate
on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for
apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at the trainee rate who is not
registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and
Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition,
any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and
Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program,the contractor will
POFZ contract.doc II-7
no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined
rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (29 CFR
5.5(a)(4)(iii)).

journeymen under this paragraph shall be in conformity with the equal employment
opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246,as amended,and 29 CFR Part

a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that
the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female
work force participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and time
tables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of
actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the
Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the
Contractor's noncompliance.
F-9 A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established.
The Contractor, however, is required to provide EEO and to take affirmative action for all
minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority.
Consequently,the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group
is employed in a substantially disparate manner(for example, even though the Contractor
has achieved its goals for women; generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the
Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).
F-10 The Contractor shall not use the goals and time tables or affirmative action standards to
discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. R

Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these
specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
F-13 The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement
specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in
paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to
ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the
requirements of the Executive Order,the implementing regulations or these specifications,
the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
F-14 The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related
activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports

number, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when
assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee,
helper or laborer),dates of changes in status,hours worked per week in the indicated trade,
rate of pay and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in
an easily understandable and retrievable form;however,to the degree that existing records
satisfy this requirement, Contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.
F-15 Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws
which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements
for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works

was to be performed.
Should the contract work include relocation, adjustment, or any other modification to existing
facilities, not the property of the(contract)owner,authorized representatives of the owners of such
facilities shall have the right to inspect such work. Such inspection shall in no sense make any
facility owner a party to the contract,and shall in no way interfere with the rights of the parties to this
contract.

conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications will be considered
unacceptable, unless otherwise determined acceptable by the Engineer as provided in the
subsection titled CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS of this section.
Unacceptable work, whether the result of poor workmanship, use of defective materials, damage
through carelessness, or any other cause found to exist prior to the final acceptance of the work,
POFZ contract.doc III-17
shall be removed immediately and replaced in an acceptable manner in accordance with the
provisions of the subsection titled CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK of Section 70.
Work done contrary to the instructions of the Engineer, work done beyond the lines shown on the

costs (incurred by the owner) from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.
50-11 LOAD RESTRICTIONS. The Contractor shall comply with all legal load restrictions in the
hauling of materials on public roads beyond the limits of the work. A special permit will not relieve
the Contractor of liability for damage which may result from the moving of material or equipment.
The operation of equipment of such weight or so loaded as to cause damage to structures or to any -
other type of construction will not be permitted. Hauling of materials over the base course or
surface course under construction shall be limited as directed. No loads will be permitted on a

50-14 PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE. If at any time during the prosecution of the project the Contractor
substantially completes a usable unit or portion of the work,the occupancy of which will benefit the
owner,he may request the Engineer to make final inspection of that unit. If the Engineer finds upon
inspection that the unit has been satisfactorily completed in compliance with the contract, he may
accept it as being completed, and the Contractor may be relieved of further responsibility for that
unit. Such partial acceptance and beneficial occupancy by the owner shall not void or alter any
provision of the contract.
50-15 FINAL ACCEPTANCE. Upon due notice from the Contractor of presumptive completion of
the entire project,the Engineer and owner will make an inspection. If all construction provided for
and contemplated by the contract is found to be completed in accordance with the contract, plans,
and specifications, such inspection shall constitute the final inspection. The Engineer shall notify
the Contractor in writing of final acceptance as of the date of the final inspection.
If, however, the inspection discloses any work, in whole or in part, as being unsatisfactory, the
Engineer will give the Contractor the necessary instructions for correction of same and the
Contractor shall immediately comply with and execute such instructions. Upon correction of the
work,another inspection will be made which shall constitute the final inspection, provided the work
has been satisfactorily completed. In such event,the Engineer will make the final acceptance and
notify the Contractor in writing of this acceptance as of the date of final inspection.

additional compensation is due him for work or materials not clearly provided for in the contract,
plans,or specifications or previously authorized as extra work,he shall notify the Engineer in writing
of his/her intention to claim such additional compensation before he begins the work on which he
bases the claim. If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper opportunity
by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual cost as required,then the Contractor hereby
agrees to waive any claim for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor and the
fact that the Engineer has kept account of the cost of the work shall not in any way be construed as
proving or substantiating the validity of the claim. When the work on which the claim for additional
compensation is based has been completed,the Contractor shall,within 10 calendar days, submit
his/her written claim to the Engineer who will present it to the owner for consideration in accordance
with local laws or ordinances.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a waiver of the Contractor's right to dispute final
payment based on differences in measurements or computations.
50-17 COST REDUCTION INCENTIVE. The provisions of this subsection will apply only to
contracts awarded to the lowest bidder pursuant to competitive bidding.
On projects with original contract amounts in excess of$100,000,the Contractor may submit to the
Engineer, in writing, proposals for modifying the plans, specifications or other requirements of the
contract for the sole purpose of reducing the cost of construction. The cost reduction proposal shall
not impair, in any manner,the essential functions or characteristics of the project,including but not
limited to service life,economy of operation,ease of maintenance,desired appearance,design and
safety standards. This provision shall not apply unless the proposal submitted is specifically
identified by the Contractor as being presented for consideration as a value engineering proposal.
POFZ contract.doc 111-19
Not eligible for cost reduction proposals are changes in the basic design of a pavement type,
runway and taxiway lighting, visual aids, hydraulic capacity of drainage facilities, or changes in
grade or alignment that reduce the geometric standards of the project.
As a minimum,the following information shall be submitted by the Contractor with each proposal:
a. A description of both existing contract requirements for performing the work and the
proposed changes,with a discussion of the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each;
b. An itemization of the contract requirements that must be changed if the proposal is _
adopted;
c. A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the work under the existing contract and
under the proposed changes;
d. A statement of the time by which a change order adopting the proposal must be
issued;
e. A statement of the effect adoption of the proposal will have on the time for completion
of the contract; and
f. The contract items of work affected by the proposed changes, including any quantity
variation attributable to them.
The Contractor may withdraw, in whole or in part,any cost reduction proposal not accepted by the
Engineer,within the period specified in the proposal. The provisions of this subsection shall not be
construed to require the Engineer to consider any cost reduction proposal which may be submitted.
The Contractor shall continue to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the
contract until a change order incorporating the cost reduction proposal has been issued. If a
change order has not been issued by the date upon which the Contractor's cost reduction proposal
specifies that a decision should be made, or such other date as the Contractor may subsequently
have requested in writing, such cost reduction proposal shall be deemed rejected.
The Engineer shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of a cost reduction proposal and of the {
estimated net savings from the adoption of all or any part of such proposal. In determining the
estimated net savings, the Engineer may disregard the contract bid prices if, in the Engineer's
judgment such prices do not represent a fair measure of the value of the work to be performed or
deleted.
The owner may require the Contractor to share in the owner's costs of investigating a cost reduction
proposal submitted by the Contractor as a condition of considering such proposal. Where such a
condition is imposed, the Contractor shall acknowledge acceptance of it in writing. Such
acceptance shall constitute full authority for the owner to deduct the cost of investigating a cost
reduction proposal from amounts payable to the Contractor under the contract.
If the Contractor's cost reduction proposal is accepted in whole or in part, such acceptance will be
by a contract change order which shall specifically state that it is executed pursuant to this -
subsection. Such change order shall incorporate the changes in the plans and specifications which
are necessary to permit the cost reduction proposal or such part of it as has been accepted and
POFZ contract.doc III-20
shall include any conditions upon which the Engineer's approval is based. The change order shall
also set forth the estimated net savings attributable to the cost reduction proposal. The net savings
shall be determined as the difference in costs between the original contract costs for the involved
work items and the costs occurring as a result of the proposed change. The change order shall
also establish the net savings agreed upon and shall provide for adjustment in the contract price
that will divide the net savings equally between the Contractor and the Owner.
The Contractor's 50 percent share of the net savings shall constitute full compensation to the
Contractor for the cost reduction proposal and the performance of the work.
Acceptance of the cost-reduction proposal and performance of the cost-reduction work shall not
extend the time of completion of the contract unless specifically provided for in the contract change
order.

another governmental agency are known to exist within the limits of the contract work, the
approximate locations have been indicated on the plans.
It is understood and agreed that the owner does not guarantee the accuracy or the completeness of
the location information relating to existing utility services,facilities,or structures that may be shown
on the plans or encountered in the work. Any inaccuracy or omission in such information shall not
relieve the Contractor of his/her responsibility to protect such existing features from damage or
unscheduled interruption of service.
It is further understood and agreed that the Contractor shall, upon execution of the contract, notify
the owners of all utility services or other facilities of his/her plan of operations. Such notification
shall be in writing addressed to THE.PERSON TO CONTACT as provided hereinbefore in this
subsection and the subsection titled RESTORATION OF SURFACES DISTURBED BY OTHERS of
this section. A copy of each notification shall be given to the Engineer.
In addition to the general written notification hereinbefore provided, it shall be the responsibility of
the Contractor to keep such individual owners advised of changes in his/her plan of operations that
would affect such owners.
Prior to commencing the work in the general vicinity of an existing utility service or facility, the
Contractor shall again notify each such owner of his/her plan of operation. If, in the Contractor's
opinion,the owner's assistance is needed to locate the utility service or facility or the presence of a
representative of the owner is desirable to observe the work,such advice should be included in the
POFZ contract.doc III-29
notification. Such notification shall be given by the most expeditious means to reach the utility
owner's PERSON TO CONTACT no later than two normal business days prior to the Contractor's
commencement of operations in such general vicinity. The Contractor shall furnish a written
summary of the notification to the Engineer. a
The Contractor's failure to give the two day's notice herein above provided shall be cause for the
Engineer to suspend the Contractor's operations in the general vicinity of a utility service or facility. -
Where the outside limits of an underground utility service have been located and staked on the
ground, the Contractor shall be required to use excavation methods acceptable to the Engineer
within 3 feet(90 cm) of such outside limits at such points as may be required to ensure protection
from damage due to the Contractor's operations.
Should the Contractor damage or interrupt the operation of a utility service or facility by accident or
otherwise, he shall immediately notify the proper authority and the Engineer and shall take all
reasonable measures to prevent further damage or interruption of service. The Contractor,in such
events, shall cooperate with the utility service or facility owner and the Engineer continuously until
such damage has been repaired and service restored to the satisfaction of the utility or facility
owner.
The Contractor shall bear all costs of damage and restoration of service to any utility service or -
facility due to his/her operations whether or not due to negligence or accident. The contract owner
reserves the right to deduct such costs from any monies due or which may become due the
Contractor, or his/her surety.
70-16 FURNISHING RIGHTS-OF-WAY. The ownerwill be responsible for furnishing all rights-of-
way upon which the work is to be constructed in advance of the Contractor's operations.
70-17 PERSONAL LIABILITY OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS. In carrying out any of the contract
provisions or in exercising any power or authority granted to him by this contract,there shall be no
liability upon the Engineer, his/her authorized representatives, or any officials of the owner either —
personally or as an official of the owner. It is understood that in such matters they act solely as
agents and representatives of the owner.
70-18 NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS. Upon completion of the work, the owner will v
expeditiously make final inspection and notify the Contractor of final acceptance. Such final
acceptance, however, shall not preclude or estop the owner from correcting any measurement,
estimate, or certificate made before or after completion of the work, nor shall the owner be
precluded or estopped from recovering from the Contractor or his/her surety, or both, such
overpayment as may be sustained, or by failure on the part of the Contractor to fulfill his/her
obligations under the contract. A waiver on the part of the owner of any breach of any part of the
contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
The Contractor,without prejudice to the terms of the contract,shall be liable to the owner for latent
defects, fraud, or such gross mistakes as may amount to fraud, or as regards the owner's rights
under any warranty or guaranty.
70-19 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. The Contractor shall comply with all Federal,state,and -
local laws and regulations controlling pollution of the environment. He shall take necessary
precautions to prevent pollution of streams,lakes,ponds,and reservoirs with fuels,oils,bitumens,
POFZ contract.doc III-30
chemicals, or other harmful materials and to prevent pollution of the atmosphere from particulate
and gaseous matter.
70-20 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL FINDINGS. Unless otherwise specified in this
subsection,the Contractor is advised that the site of the work is not within any property,district, or
site,and does not contain any building,structure,or object listed in the current National Register of
Historic Places published by the United States Department of Interior.
Should the Contractor encounter, during his/her operations, any building, part of a building,
structure, or object which is incongruous with its surroundings, he shall immediately cease
operations in that location and notify the Engineer. The Engineer will immediately investigate the
Contractor's finding and will direct the Contractor to either resume his/her operations or to suspend
operations as directed.
Should the Engineer order suspension of the Contractor's operations in order to protect an
archaeological or historical finding, or order the Contractor to perform extra work, such shall be
covered by an appropriate contract modification (change order or supplemental agreement) as
provided in the subsection titled EXTRA WORK of Section 40 and the subsection titled PAYMENT
FOR EXTRA WORK AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK of Section 90. If appropriate,the contract
modification shall include an extension of contract time in accordance with the subsection titled
DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME of Section 80.

SECTION 80
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
80-01 SUBLETTING OF CONTRACT. The owner will not recognize any subcontractor on the
work. The Contractor shall at all times when work is in progress be represented either in person, by
a qualified superintendent,or by other designated,qualified representative who is duly authorized to
receive and execute orders of the Engineer.
Should the Contractor elect to assign his/her contract,said assignment shall be concurred in by the
surety, shall be presented for the consideration and approval of the owner, and shall be
consummated only on the written approval of the owner. In case of approval,the Contractor shall
file copies of all subcontracts with the Engineer.
80-02 NOTICE TO PROCEED. The notice to proceed shall state the date on which it is expected
the Contractor will begin the construction and from which date contract time will be charged. The
Contractor shall begin the work to be performed under the contract within 10 days of the date set by
the Engineer in the written notice to proceed, but in any event, the Contractor shall notify the
Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of the time actual construction operations will begin.
80-03 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS. Unless otherwise specified,the Contractor shall submit
his/her progress schedule for the Engineer's approval within 10 days after the effective date of the
notice to proceed. The Contractor's progress schedule, when approved by the Engineer, may be
used to establish major construction operations and to check on the progress of the work. The
Contractor shall provide sufficient materials, equipment, and labor to guarantee the completion of
the project in accordance with the plans and specifications within the time set forth in the proposal.
If the Contractor falls significantly behind the submitted schedule, the Contractor shall, upon the
Engineer's request, submit a revised schedule for completion of the work within the contract time
and modify his/her operations to provide such additional materials,equipment,and labor necessary
to meet the revised schedule. Should the prosecution of the work be discontinued for any reason,
the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of resuming operations.
For AIP contracts,the Contractor shall not commence any actual construction prior to the date on
which the notice to proceed is issued by the owner.
80-04 LIMITATION OF OPERATIONS. The Contractor shall control his/her operations and the
operations of his/her subcontractors and all suppliers so as to provide for the free and unobstructed
movement of aircraft in the AIR OPERATIONS AREAS of the airport.
When the work requires the Contractor to conduct his/her operations within an AIR OPERATIONS
AREA of the airport,the work shall be coordinated with airport management(through the Engineer)
at least 48 hours prior to commencement of such work. The Contractor shall not close an AIR
OPERATIONS AREA until so authorized by the Engineer and until the necessary temporary -
marking and associated lighting is in place as provided in the subsection titled BARRICADES,
WARNING SIGNS, AND HAZARD MARKINGS of Section 70.
When the contract work requires the Contractor to work within an AIR OPERATIONS AREA of the
airport on an intermittent basis(intermittent opening and closing of the AIR OPERATIONS AREA),
POFZ contract.doc III-32
{
the Contractor shall maintain constant communications as hereinafter specified;immediately obey
all instructions to vacate the AIR OPERATIONS AREA;immediately obey all instructions to resume
work in such AIR OPERATIONS AREA. Failure to maintain the specified communications or to
obey instructions shall be cause for suspension of the Contractor's operations in the AIR
OPERATIONS AREA until the satisfactory conditions are provided.
80-05 CHARACTER OF WORKERS,METHODS,AND EQUIPMENT. The Contractor shall,at all
times, employ sufficient labor and equipment for prosecuting the work to full completion in the
manner and time required by the contract, plans, and specifications.
All workers shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform properly the work assigned to them.
Workers engaged in special work or skilled work shall have sufficient experience in such work and
in the operation of the equipment required to perform the work satisfactorily.
All equipment which is proposed to be used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in such
mechanical condition as to meet requirements of the work and to produce a satisfactory quality of
work. Equipment used on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to previously
completed work, adjacent property, or existing airport facilities will result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the work are not
prescribed in the contract, the Contractor is free to use any methods or equipment that will
accomplish the work in conformity with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications.
When the contract specifies the use of certain methods and equipment, such methods and
equipment shall be used unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the Contractor desires to
use a method or type of equipment other than specified in the contract, he may request authority
from the Engineerto do so. The request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the
methods and equipment proposed and of the reasons for desiring to make the change. If approval
is given, it will be on the condition that the Contractor will be fully responsible for producing work in
conformity with contract requirements. If, after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment,
the Engineer determines that the work produced does not meet contract requirements, the
Contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or equipment and shall complete the
remaining work with the specified methods and equipment. The Contractor shall remove any
deficient work and replace it with work of specified quality, or take such other corrective action as
the Engineer may direct. No change will be made in basis of payment for the contract items
involved nor in contract time as a result of authorizing a change in methods or equipment under this
subsection.
80-06 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE WORK. The Engineer shall have the authority to
suspend the work wholly,or in part,for such period or periods as he may deem necessary, due to
unsuitable weather, or such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the prosecution of
the work,or for such time as is necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out
orders given or perform any or all provisions of the contract.
In the event that the Contractor is ordered by the Engineer, in writing, to suspend work for some
unforeseen cause not otherwise provided for in the contract and over which the Contractor has no
control, the Contractor may be reimbursed for actual money expended on the work during the
period of shutdown. No allowance will be made for anticipated profits. The period of shutdown
shall be computed from the effective date of the Engineer's order to suspend work to the effective
date of the Engineer's order to resume the work. Claims for such compensation shall be filed with
POFZ contract.doc III-33
the Engineer within the time period stated in the Engineer's order to resume work. The Contractor
shall submit with his/her claim information substantiating the amount shown on the claim. The
Engineer will forward the Contractor's claim to the owner for consideration in accordance with local
laws or ordinances. No provision of this article shall be construed as entitling the Contractor to
compensation for delays due to inclement weather, for suspensions made at the request of the
Contractor, or for any other delay provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications.
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period,the Contractor shall store all
materials in such manner that they will not become an obstruction nor become damaged in any
way. He shall take every precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work performed and
provide for normal drainage of the work. The Contractor shall erect temporary structures where
necessary to provide for traffic on, to, or from the airport.
80-07 DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME. The number of calendar or
working days allowed for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal and contract and
shall be known as the CONTRACT TIME.
Should the contract time require extension for reasons beyond the Contractor's control, it shall be
adjusted as follows:
CONTRACT TIME based on WORKING DAYS shall be calculated weekly by the Engineer. The ..
Engineer will furnish the Contractor a copy of his/her weekly statement of the number of working
days charged against the contract time during the week and the number of working days currently
specified for completion of the contract(the original contract time plus the number of working days,
if any, that have been included in approved CHANGE ORDERS or SUPPLEMENTAL
AGREEMENTS covering EXTRA WORK).
The Engineer shall base his/her weekly statement of contract time charged on the following
considerations:
a. No time shall be charged for days on which the Contractor is unable to proceed with
the principal item of work under construction at the time for at least 6 hours with the normal work
force employed on such principal item. Should the normal work force be on a double-shift, 12 hours
shall be used. Should the normal work force be on a triple-shift, 18 hours shall apply. Conditions
beyond the Contractor's control such as strikes, lockouts, unusual delays in transportation,
temporary suspension of the principal item of work under construction or temporary suspension of
the entire work which have been ordered by the Engineer for reasons not the fault of the Contractor,
shall not be charged against the contract time.
b. The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time prior to the effective date
of the notice to proceed. _
c. The Engineer will begin charges against the contracttime on the first working day after
the effective date of the notice to proceed.
d. The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time after the date of final
acceptance as defined in the subsection titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50.
POFZ contract.doc III-34
e. The Contractor will be allowed 1 week in which to file a written protest setting forth
his/her objections to the Engineer's weekly statement. If no objection is filed within such specified
time, the weekly statement shall be considered as acceptable to the Contractor.
The contract time (stated in the proposal) is based on the originally estimated quantities as
described in the subsection titled INTERPRETATION OF ESTIMATED PROPOSAL QUANTITIES
of Section 20. Should the satisfactory completion of the contract require performance of work in
greater quantities than those estimated in the proposal,the contract time shall be increased in the
same proportion as the cost of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally
estimated quantities in the proposal. Such increase in contract time shall not consider either the
cost of work or the extension of contract time that has been covered by change order or
supplemental agreement and shall be made at the time of final payment.
CONTRACT TIME based on CALENDAR DAYS shall consist of the number of calendar days stated
in the contract counting from the effective date of the notice to proceed and including all Saturdays,
Sundays, holidays, and nonwork days. All calendar days elapsing between the effective dates of
the Engineer's orders to suspend and resume all work,due to causes not the fault of the Contractor,
shall be excluded.
At the time of final payment,the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost
of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the
proposal. Such increase in the contract time shall not consider either cost of work or the extension
of contract time that has been covered by a change order or supplemental agreement. Charges
against the contract time will cease as of the date of final acceptance.
When the contract time is a specified completion date,it shall be the date on which all contract work
shall be substantially completed.
If the Contractor finds it impossible for reasons beyond his/her control to complete the work within
the contract time as specified,or as extended in accordance with the provisions of this subsection,
he may,at any time prior to the expiration of the contract time as extended, make a written request
to the Engineer for an extension of time setting forth the reasons which he believes will justify the
granting of his/her request. The Contractor's plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid
reason for extension of time. If the Engineer finds that the work was delayed because of conditions
beyond the control and without the fault of the Contractor,he may extend the time for completion in
such amount as the conditions justify. The extended time for completion shall then be in full force
and effect, the same as though it were the original time for completion.
80-08 FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME. For each calendar day or working day,as specified in
the contract, that any work remains uncompleted after the contract time (including all extensions
and adjustments as provided in the subsection titled DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF
CONTRACT TIME of this Section) the sum specified in the contract and proposal as liquidated
damages will be deducted from any money due or to become due the Contractor or his/her surety.
Such deducted sums shall not be deducted as a penalty but shall be considered as liquidation of a
reasonable portion of damages that will be incurred by the owner should the Contractor fail to
complete the work in the time provided in his/her contract.
Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the work or any part of it after the time fixed for its
completion,or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, will in no
way operate as a waiver on the part of the owner of any of its rights under the contract.
POFZ contract.doc III-35
80-09 DEFAULT AND TERMINATION OF CONTRACT. The Contractor shall be considered in
default of his/her contract and such default will be considered as cause for the owner to terminate
the contract for any of the following reasons if the Contractor:
a. Fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified in the "Notice to
Proceed," or
b. Fails to perform the work or fails to provide sufficient workers,equipment or materials
to assure completion of work in accordance with the terms of the contract, or
c. Performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials or to perform
anew such work as may be rejected as unacceptable and unsuitable, or
d. Discontinues the prosecution of the work, or
e. Fails to resume work which has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice
to do so, or
f. Becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bankruptcy or
insolvency, or
g. Allows any final judgment to stand against him unsatisfied for a period of 10 days, or
h. Makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
i. For any other cause whatsoever, fails to carry on the work in an acceptable manner.
Should the Engineer consider the Contractor in default of the contract for any reason hereinbefore,
he shall immediately give written notice to the Contractor and the Contractor's surety as to the
reasons for considering the Contractor in default and the owner's intentions to terminate the —
contract.
If the Contractor or surety, within a period of 10 days after such notice, does not proceed in
accordance therewith,then the owner will,upon written notification from the Engineer of the facts of
such delay, neglect, or default and the Contractor's failure to comply with such notice, have full
power and authority without violating the contract, to take the prosecution of the work out of the
hands of the Contractor. The owner may appropriate or use any or all materials and equipment that
have been mobilized for use in the work and are acceptable and may enter into an agreement for
the completion of said contract according to the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other
methods as in the opinion of the Engineer will be required for the completion of said contract in an
acceptable manner.
All costs and charges incurred by the owner, together with the cost of completing the work under
contract,will be deducted from any monies due or which may become due the Contractor. If such
expense exceeds the sum which would have been payable under the contract,then the Contractor
and the surety shall be liable and shall pay to the owner the amount of such excess.
80-10 TERMINATION FOR NATIONAL EMERGENCIES. The owner shall terminate the contract
or portion thereof by written notice when the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the
POFZ contract.doc III-36
construction contract as a direct result of an Executive Order of the President with respect to the
prosecution of war or in the interest of national defense.
When the contract,or any portion thereof,is terminated before completion of all items of work in the
contract, payment will be made for the actual number of units or items of work completed at the
contract price or as mutually agreed for items of work partially completed or not started. No claims
or loss of anticipated profits shall be considered.
Reimbursement for organization of the work, and other overhead expenses, (when not otherwise
included in the contract) and moving equipment and materials to and from the job will be
considered, the intent being that an equitable settlement will be made with the Contractor.
Acceptable materials, obtained or ordered by the Contractor for the work and that are not
incorporated in the work shall, at the option of the Contractor, be purchased from the Contractor at
actual cost as shown by receipted bills and actual cost records at such points of delivery as may be
designated by the Engineer.
Termination of the contract or a portion thereof shall neither relieve the Contractor of his/her
responsibilities for the completed work nor shall it relieve his/her surety of its obligation for and
concerning any just claim arising out of the work performed.
END OF SECTION 80
POFZ mntract.doc III-37
SECTION 90
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
90-01 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES. All work completed under the contract will be
measured by the Engineer, or his/her authorized representatives, using United States Customary -.
Units of Measurement.
The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material
furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those methods generally recognized as
conforming to good engineering practice.
Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be made
horizontally,and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures(or leave-outs)having an area of
9 square feet or less. Unless otherwise specified,transverse measurements for area computations
will be the neat dimensions shown on the plans or ordered in writing by the Engineer. _
Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as altered to fit field
conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, all contract items which are measured by the linear foot such as
electrical ducts,conduits,pipe culverts,underdrains,and similar items shall be measured parallel to
the base or foundation upon which such items are placed. _
In computing volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable methods will
be used.
The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated metal pipe,
metal plate pipe culverts and arches,and metal cribbing will be specified and measured in decimal
fraction of inches. -
The term"ton"will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois. All materials which
are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on accurate, approved scales by
competent,qualified personnel at locations designed by the Engineer. If material is shipped by rail,
the car weight may be accepted provided that only the actual weight of material be paid for.
However, car weights will not be acceptable for material to be passed through mixing plants.
Trucks used to haul material being paid for by weight shall be weighed empty daily at such times as
the Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.
Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved vehicles and -
measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may be of any size or type
acceptable to the Engineer, provided that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be
readily and accurately determined. All vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity,
and all loads shall be leveled when the vehicles arrive at the point of delivery.
When requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be
measured by the cubic yard may be weighed,and such weights will be converted to cubic yards for -
payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight measurement to volume measurement will
POFZ contract.doc III-38
be determined by the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before such method of
measurement of pay quantities is used.
Bituminous materials will be measured by the gallon or ton. When measured by volume, such
volumes will be measured at 60 F (15 C) or will be corrected to the volume at 60 F (15 C) using
ASTM D 1250 for asphalt or ASTM D 633 for tars.
Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments will
be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has been lost
from the car or the distributor,wasted, or otherwise not incorporated in the work.
When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights by volume,
subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities.
Cement will be measured by the ton or hundredweight.
Timber will be measured by the thousand feet board measure(M.F.B.M.) actually incorporated in
the structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses and the extreme
length of each piece.
The term 'lump sum"when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment for the work
described in the contract.
When a complete structure or structural unit(in effect, 'lump sum"work) is specified as the unit of
measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and accessories.
Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and necessary
traveling time of the equipment within the limits of the work. Special equipment ordered by the
Engineer in connection with force account work will be measured as agreed in the change order or
supplemental agreement authorizing such force account work as provided in the subsection titled
PAYMENT FOR.EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK of this section.
When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence,wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe
conduit, etc., and these items are identified by gage, unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such
identification will be considered to be nominal weights or dimensions. Unless more stringently
controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the
industries involved will be accepted.
Scales for weighing materials which are required to be proportioned or measured and paid for by
weight shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by the Contractor, or be certified permanently
installed commercial scales.
Scales shall be accurate within one-half percent of the correct weight throughout the range of use.
The Contractor shall have the scales checked under the observation of the inspector before
beginning work and at such other times as requested. The intervals shall be uniform in spacing
throughout the graduated or marked length of the beam or dial and shall not exceed one-tenth of 1
percent of the nominal rated capacity of the scale, but not less than 1 pound. The use of spring
balances will not be permitted.
POFZ contract.doc III-39
Beams,dials, platforms,and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the operator and the
inspector can safely and conveniently view them.
Scale installations shall have available ten standard 50-pound weights for testing the weighing
equipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved equipment.
Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site. Platform scales shall be -
installed and maintained with the platform level and rigid bulkheads at each end.
Scales"overweighing"(indicating more than correctweight)will not be permitted to operate,and all
materials received subsequent to the last previous correct weighing-accuracy test will be reduced
by the percentage of error in excess of one-half of 1 percent.
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been"underweighing"(indicating less than correct -
weight), they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the Contractor will be allowed for
materials previously weighed and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining scales; for
furnishing check weights and scale house;and for all other items specified in this subsection,for the
weighing of materials for proportioning or payment, shall be included in the unit contract prices for
the various items of the project.
When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the pay quantities
in the contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the
work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the plans are
revised by the Engineer. If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of
such work, the final quantities for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the
authorized changes in the dimensions.
90-02 SCOPE OF PAYMENT. The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation provided for
in the contract as full payment for furnishing all materials,for performing all work under the contract
in a complete and acceptable manner, and for all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever
character arising out of the nature of the work or the prosecution thereof,subject to the provisions of
the subsection titled NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70.
When the"basis of payment"subsection of a technical specification requires that the contract price
(price bid)include compensation for certain work or material essential to the item,this same work or
material will not also be measured for payment under any other contract item which may appear -
elsewhere in the contract, plans, or specifications.
90-03 COMPENSATION FOR ALTERED QUANTITIES. When the accepted quantities of work
vary from the quantities in the proposal, the Contractor shall accept as payment in full, so far as
contract items are concerned, payment at the original contract price for the accepted quantities of
work actually completed and accepted. No allowance, except as provided for in the subsection
titled ALTERATION OF WORK AND QUANTITIES of Section 40 will be made for any increased
expense, loss of expected reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the
Contractor which results directly from such alterations or indirectly from his/her unbalanced
allocation of overhead and profit among the contract items, or from any other cause.
POFZ contract.doc 11140
90-04 PAYMENT FOR OMITTED ITEMS. As specified in the subsection titled OMITTED ITEMS of
Section 40, the Engineer shall have the right to omit from the work (order nonperformance) any
contract item, except major contract items, in the best interest of the owner.
Should the Engineer omit or order nonperformance of a contract item or portion of such item from
the work, the Contractor shall accept payment in full at the contract prices for any work actually
completed and acceptable prior to the Engineer's order to omit or nonperform such contract item.
Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered on the work prior to the date of the
Engineer's order will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor and shall thereupon become the
property of the owner.
In addition to the reimbursement hereinbefore provided,the Contractor shall be reimbursed for all
actual costs incurred for the purpose of performing the omitted contract item prior to the date of the
Engineer's order. Such additional costs incurred by the Contractor must be directly related to the
deleted contract item and shall be supported by certified statements by the Contractor as to the
nature and the amount of such costs.
90-05 PAYMENT FOR EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK. Extra work, performed in
accordance with the subsection titled EXTRA WORK of Section 40,will be paid for at the contract
prices or agreed prices specified in the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing the
extra work. When the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing the extra work requires
that it be done by force account, such force account shall be measured and paid for based on
expended labor, equipment, and materials plus a negotiated and agreed upon allowance for
overhead and profit.
a. Miscellaneous. No additional allowance will be made for general superintendence,the
use of small tools, or other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided.
b. Comparison of Record. The Contractor and the Engineer shall compare records of the
cost of force account work at the end of each day. Agreement shall be indicated by signature of the
Contractor and the Engineer or their duly authorized representatives.
c. Statement. No payment will be made for work performed on a force account basis until
the Contractor has furnished the Engineer with duplicate itemized statements of the cost of such
force account work detailed as follows:
(1) Name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours, rate and extension for each
laborer and foreman.
(2) Designation,dates,daily hours,total hours, rental rate,and extension foreach unit
of machinery and equipment.
(3) Quantities of materials, prices, and extensions.
(4) Transportation of materials.
(5) Cost of property damage, liability and workman's compensation insurance
premiums, unemployment insurance contributions, and social security tax.
POFZ contract.doc III-41
Statements shall be accompanied and supported by a receipted invoice for all materials used and
transportation charges. However, if materials used on the force account work are not specifically
purchased for such work but are taken from the Contractor's stock,then in lieu of the invoices the
Contractor shall furnish an affidavit certifying that such materials were taken from his/her stock,that
the quantity claimed was actually used,and that the price and transportation claimed represent the

those materials stockpiled and stored in accordance with the subsection titled PAYMENT FOR
MATERIALS ON HAND of this section.
No partial payment will be made when the amount due the Contractor since the last estimate
amounts to less than five hundred dollars.
From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a partial payment,5 percent of such total
amount will be deducted and retained by the owner until the final payment is made,except as may
be provided(at the Contractor's option)in the subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS
of this section. The balance (95 percent)of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall
be certified for payment. Should the Contractor exercise his/her option, as provided in the
subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section, no such 5 percent retainage
shall be deducted.
When not less than 95 percent of the work has been completed the Engineer may, at his/her
discretion and with the consent of the surety, prepare an estimate from which will be retained an _
amount not less than twice the contract value or estimated cost,whichever is greater, of the work
remaining to be done. The remainder, less all previous payments and deductions, will then be
certified for payment to the Contractor.
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive partial
payment based on quantities of work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by
approved change orders or supplemental agreements, except when such excess quantities have
been determined by the Engineer to be a part of the final quantity for the item of work in question.
No partial payment shall bind the owner to the acceptance of any materials or work in place as to
quality or quantity. All partial payments are subject to correction at the time of final payment as
provided in the subsection titled ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT of this section.
90-07 PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ON HAND. Partial payments may be made to the extent of
the delivered cost of materials to be incorporated in the work,provided that such materials meet the
requirements of the contract, plans,and specifications and are delivered to acceptable sites on the
airport property or at other sites in the vicinity that are acceptable to the owner. Such delivered
costs of stored or stockpiled materials may be included in the next partial payment after the
following conditions are met:

e. The Contractor has furnished the owner evidence that the material so stored or
stockpiled is insured against loss by damage to or disappearance of such materials at anytime prior
to use in the work.
It is understood and agreed that the transfer of title and the owner's payment for such stored or
stockpiled materials shall in no way relieve the Contractor of his/her responsibility for furnishing and
placing such materials in accordance with the requirements of the contract, plans, and
specifications.
In no case will the amount of partial payments for materials on hand exceed the contract price for
such materials or the contract price for the contract item in which the material is intended to be
used.
No partial payment will be made for stored or stockpiled living or perishable plant materials.
The Contractor shall bear all costs associated with the partial payment of stored or stockpiled
materials in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
90-08 PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS. At the Contractor's option,he/she may request that the
owner accept (in lieu of the 5 percent retainage on partial payments described in the subsection
titled PARTIAL PAYMENTS of this section)the Contractor's deposits in escrow under the following
conditions.
a. The Contractor shall bear all expenses of establishing and maintaining an escrow
account and escrow agreement acceptable to the owner.
b. The Contractor shall deposit to and maintain in such escrow only those securities or
bank certificates of deposit as are acceptable to the owner and having a value not less than the 10
percent retainage that would otherwise be withheld from partial payment.
c. The Contractor shall enter into an escrow agreement satisfactory to the owner.
d. The Contractor shall obtain the written consent of the surety to such agreement.
90-09 ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT. When the contract work has been accepted in
accordance with the requirements of the subsection titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50,the
Engineer will prepare the final estimate of the items of work actually performed. The Contractor
shall approve the Engineer's final estimate or advise the Engineer of his/her objections to the final
estimate which are based on disputes in measurements or computations of the final quantities to be
paid under the contract as amended by change order or supplemental agreement. The Contractor
POFZ contract.doc III-43
and the Engineer shall resolve all disputes (if any) in the measurement and computation of final
quantities to be paid within 30 calendar days of the Contractor's receipt of the Engineer's final
estimate. If, after such 30-day period, a dispute still exists, the Contractor may approve the
Engineer's estimate under protest of the quantities in dispute,and such disputed quantities shall be -
considered by the owner as a claim in accordance with the subsection titled CLAIMS FOR
ADJUSTMENT AND DISPUTES of Section 50.
After the Contractor has approved, or approved under protest, the Engineer's final estimate, final
payment will be processed based on the entire sum, or the undisputed sum in case of approval
under protest, determined to be due the Contractor less all previous payments and all amounts to _
be deducted under the provisions of the contract. All prior partial estimates and payments shall be
subject to correction in the final estimate and payment.
If the Contractor has filed a claim for additional compensation under the provisions of the
subsection titled CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENTS AND DISPUTES of Section 50 or under the
provisions of this subsection, such claims will be considered by the owner in accordance with local
laws or ordinances. Upon final adjudication of such claims, any additional payment determined to
be due the Contractor will be paid pursuant to a supplemental final estimate.

SECTION 110
METHOD OF ESTIMATING PERCENTAGE OF MATERIAL
WITHIN SPECIFICATION LIMITS (PWL)
110-1 GENERAL. When the specifications provide for material to be sampled and tested on a
statistical basis, the material will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with this section. All --
test results for a lot will be analyzed statistically, using procedures to determine the total estimated
percent of the lot that is within specification limits. This concept,termed percent within limits(PWL),
is a statistically based evaluation method,whereby the PWL is computed on a lot basis, using the
average (X) and standard deviation (Sn) of the specified number(n)of sublot tests for the lot and
the specification tolerance limits (L for lower and U for upper) for the particular acceptance
parameter. From these values,the respective Quality index(s)(QL for Lower Quality Index and/or
Qu for Upper Quality Index)is computed and the PWL for the specified n is determined from Table
1.
110-2 METHOD FOR COMPUTING PWL. The computational sequence for computing the PWL is
as follows:
a. Divide the lot into n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the
specification. -
b. Locate the sampling position within the sublot in accordance with the random sampling
requirements of the specification.
C. Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the
measurement on the test portion in accordance with the testing requirements of the specification.
d. Average all sublot values within the lot to find X by using the following formula:
X =(xi + x2+ x3 + . . .xn)/n -
Where:
X =Average of all sublot values within a lot
x1, x2 = Individual sublot values -
n = Number of sublots
e. Find the standard deviation Sn by use of the following formula:
F- Sn = [(d 12+ d22+ d32 + . . .dn2)/n-1]112
Where:
Sn = standard deviation of the number of sublot values in the set -
d1, d2 = deviations of the individual sublot values X1, X2 . . . from
the average value X
POFZ contract.doc III-52
that is: d1 = (x1 -X), d2 = (xn -X) . . do = (xn -X)
n = number of sublots
f. For single sided specification limits(i.e.,L only),compute the Lower Quality Index QL
by use of the following formula:
CIL=(X-L)/Sn
Where:
L = specification lower tolerance limit
Estimate the percentage of material within limits (PWL) by entering Table 1 with QL, using the
column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements. If the value of QL falls between
values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PWL.
g. For double sided specification limits(i.e. L and U),compute the Quality Indexes QL and
Qu by use of the following formulas:
QL=(X-L)/Snand Qu = (U -X)/Sn
Where:
L and U = specification lower and upper tolerance limits
Estimate the percentage of material between the lower(L)and upper(U)tolerance limits(PWL)by
entering Table 1 separately with QL and Qu, using the column appropriate to the total number(n)of
measurements,and determining the percent of material above PL and percent of material below Pu
for each tolerance limit. If the values of QL fall between values shown on the table, use the next
higher value of PL or Pu. Determine the PWL by use of the following formula:
PWL=(Pu+ PO - 100
Where:
PL = percent within lower specification limit
Pu = percent within upper specification limit

-4- Runway 16L-34R POFZ Mitigation
610-3.8 FORMS. Concrete shall not be placed until all the forms and reinforcements
have been inspected and approved by the Engineer. Forms shall be of suitable material
and shall be of the type, size, shape, quality, and strength to build the structure as
designed on the plans. The forms shall be true to line and grade and shall be
mortar-tight and sufficiently rigid to prevent displacement and sagging between
supports. The Contractor shall bear responsibility for their adequacy. The surfaces of
forms shall be smooth and free from irregularities, dents, sags, and holes.
The internal ties shall be arranged so that, when the forms are removed, no metal will
show in the concrete surface or discolor the surface when exposed to weathering. All
forms shall be wetted with water or with a non-staining mineral oil,which shall be applied
shortly before the concrete is placed. Forms shall be constructed so that they can be
removed without injuring the concrete or concrete surface. The forms shall not be
removed before the expiration of at least 30 hours from vertical faces, walls, slender
columns, and similar structures; forms supported by falsework under slabs, beams,
girders, arches, and similar construction shall not be removed until tests indicate that at
least 60% of the design strength of the concrete has developed.
610-3.9 PLACING REINFORCEMENT. All reinforcement shall be accurately placed, as
shown on the plans, and shall be firmly held in position during concreting. Bars shall be
fastened together at intersections. The reinforcement shall be supported by approved
metal chairs. Shop drawings, lists, and bending details shall be supplied by the
Contractor when required.
610-3.10 EMBEDDED ITEMS. Before placing concrete, any items that are to be
embedded shall be firmly and securely fastened in place as indicated. All such items
shall be clean and free from coating, rust, scale, oil, or any foreign matter. The
embedding of wood shall be avoided. The concrete shall be spaded and consolidated
around and against embedded items.
610-3.11 PLACING CONCRETE. All concrete shall be placed during daylight, unless
otherwise approved. The concrete shall not be placed until the depth and character of
foundation, the adequacy of forms and falsework, and the placing of the steel reinforcing
have been approved. Concrete shall be placed as soon as practical after mixing and in
no case later than 1 hour after water has been added to the mix. The method and
manner of placing shall be such to avoid segregation and displacement of the
reinforcement. Troughs, pipes, and chutes shall be used as an aid in placing concrete
when necessary. Dropping the concrete a distance of more than 5 feet (1.5 m), or
depositing a large quantity at one point, will not be permitted. Concrete shall be placed
upon clean, damp surfaces, free from running water, or upon properly consolidated soil.
�. The concrete shall be compacted with suitable mechanical vibrators operating within the
concrete. When necessary, vibrating shall be supplemented by hand spading with
suitable tools to assure proper and adequate compaction. Vibrators shall be
manipulated so as to work the concrete thoroughly around the reinforcement and
embedded fixtures and into corners and angles of the forms. The vibration at any joint
shall be of sufficient duration to accomplish compaction but shall not be prolonged to the
point where segregation occurs. Concrete deposited under water shall be carefully
placed in a compact mass in its final position by means of a tremie, a closed bottom
dump bucket, or other approved method and shall not be disturbed after being
deposited.

610-3.12 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS. When the placing of concrete is suspended,
necessary provisions shall be made for joining future work before the placed concrete
takes its initial set. For the proper bonding of old and new concrete, such provisions
shall be made for grooves, steps, keys, dovetails, reinforcing bars or other devices as
may be prescribed. The work shall be arranged so that a section begun on any day
shall be finished during daylight of the same day. Before depositing new concrete on or
against concrete that has hardened,the surface of the hardened concrete shall be
cleaned by a heavy steel broom, roughened slightly, wetted, and covered with a neat
coating of cement paste or grout.
610-3.13 EXPANSION JOINTS. Expansion joints shall be constructed at such points
and of such dimensions as may be indicated on the drawings. The premolded filler shall
be cut to the same shape as that of the surfaces being joined. The filler shall be fixed
firmly against the surface of the concrete already in place in such manner that it will not
be displaced when concrete is deposited against it.
610-3.14 DEFECTIVE WORK. Any defective work discovered after the forms have
been removed shall be immediately removed and replaced. If any dimensions are
deficient, or if the surface of the concrete is bulged, uneven, or shows honeycomb,
which in the opinion of the Engineer cannot be repaired satisfactorily, the entire section
shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor. -
610-3.15 SURFACE FINISH. All exposed concrete surfaces shall be true, smooth, and
free from open or rough spaces, depressions, or projections. The concrete in horizontal _
plane surfaces shall be brought flush with the finished top surface at the proper elevation
and shall be struck-off with a straightedge and floated. Mortar finishing shall not be
permitted, nor shall dry cement or sand-cement mortar be spread over the concrete
during the finishing of horizontal plane surfaces.
When directed, the surface finish of exposed concrete shall be a rubbed finish. If forms
can be removed while the concrete is still green, the surface shall be pointed and wetted -
and then rubbed with a wooden float until all irregularities are removed. If the concrete
has hardened before being rubbed, a carborundum stone shall be used to finish the
surface. When approved, the finishing can be done with a rubbing machine.
610-3.16 CURING AND PROTECTION. All concrete shall be properly cured and
protected by the Contractor. The work shall be protected from the elements, flowing
water, and from defacement of any nature during the building operations. The concrete
shall be cured as soon as it has sufficiently hardened by covering with an approved
material. Water-absorptive coverings shall be thoroughly saturated when placed and
kept saturated for a period of at least 3 days. All curing mats or blankets shall be _
sufficiently weighted or tied down to keep the concrete surface covered and to prevent
the surface from being exposed to currents of air. Where wooden forms are used, they
shall be kept wet at all times until removed to prevent the opening of joints and drying
out of the concrete. Traffic shall not be allowed on concrete surfaces for 7 days after the
concrete has been placed.
610-3.17 DRAINS OR DUCTS. Drainage pipes, conduits, and ducts that are to be R
encased in concrete shall be installed by the Contractor before the concrete is placed.
P-610 Fort Worth Alliance Airport
-6- Runway 16L-34R POFZ Mitigation
The pipe shall be held rigidly so that it will not be displaced or moved during the placing
of the concrete.
610-3.18 COLD WEATHER PROTECTION. When concrete is placed at temperatures
below 40°F (4°C), the Contractor shall provide satisfactory methods and means to
protect the mix from injury by freezing. The aggregates, or water, or both, shall be
heated in order to place the concrete at temperatures between 50°F and 100°F (10°C
and 38°C).
Calcium chloride may be incorporated in the mixing water when directed by the
Engineer. Not more than 2 pounds (908 grams)of Type 1 nor more,than 1.6 pounds
(726 grams) of Type 2 shall be added per bag of cement. After the concrete has been
placed, the Contractor shall provide sufficient protection such as cover, canvas,
framework, heating apparatus, etc., to enclose and protect the structure and maintain
the temperature of the mix at not less than 50°F (10°C) until at least 60% of the
designed strength has been attained.
610-3.19 FILLING JOINTS. All joints that require filling shall be thoroughly cleaned,
and any excess mortar or concrete shall be cut out with proper tools. Joint filling shall
not be started until after final curing and shall be done only when the concrete is
completely dry. The cleaning and filling shall be carefully done with proper equipment
and in a manner to obtain a neat looking joint free from excess filler.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS OF PAYMENT
No separate measurement or payment shall be made for structural Portland cement
concrete or for steel reinforcement. Payment shall be included within the price of items
requiring concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement.

follows:
a. Cast Splices. These shall be made by using crimp connectors for jointing
conductors. Molds shall be assembled, and the compound shall be mixed and poured in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions and to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
b. Field-attached Plug-in Splices. These shall be assembled in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. These splices shall be made by plugging directly into
mating connectors. In all cases the joint where the connectors come together shall be
wrapped with at least one layer of rubber or synthetic rubber tape and one layer of
plastic tape, one-half lapped, extending at least 1-1/2 inches (37 mm) on each side of
the joint.
c. Factory-Molded Plug-in Splices. These shall be made by plugging directly into
mating connectors. In all cases,the joint where the connectors come together shall be -
wrapped with at least one layer of rubber or synthetic rubber tape and one layer of
plastic tape, one-half lapped, extending at least 1-1/2 inches (37 mm) on each side of
the joint. _
d. Taped or Heat-Shrinked Splices. A taped splice shall be made in the following
manner:
Bring the cables to their final position and cut so that the conductors will butt. Remove
insulation and jacket allowing for bare conductor of proper length to fit compression
sleeve connector with 1/4 inch (6 mm) of bare conductor on each side of the connector. -
Prior to splicing, the two ends of the cable insulation shall be penciled using a tool
designed specifically for this purpose and for cable size and type. Do not use emery
paper on splicing operation since it contains metallic particles. The copper conductors
shall be thoroughly cleaned. Join the conductors by inserting them equidistant into the -
compression connection sleeve. Crimp conductors firmly in place with crimping tool that
requires a complete crimp before tool can be removed. Test the crimped connection by
pulling on the cable. Scrape the insulation to assure that the entire surface over which
the tape will be applied (plus 3 inches(75 mm) on each end) is clean. After scraping
wipe the entire area with a clean lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents.
Apply high-voltage rubber tape one-half lapped over bare conductor. This tape should
be tensioned as recommended by the manufacturer. Voids in the connector area may
be eliminated by highly elongating the tape, stretching it just short of its breaking point.
Throughout the rest of the splice less tension should be used. Always attempt to exactly
half-lap to produce a uniform buildup. Continue buildup to 1-1/2 times cable diameter
over the body of the splice with ends tapered a distance of approximately 1 inch (25 mm)
over the original jacket. Cover rubber tape with two layers of vinyl pressure-sensitive -
tape one-half lapped. Do not use glyptol or lacquer over vinyl tape as they react as
solvents to the tape. No further cable covering or splice boxes are required.
L-108 Fort Worth Alliance Airport
