any time when, in the judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor

starting with the first day of work completed as defined in
C1-1 . 23 "WORKING DAY" or the date stipulated in the "WORK
ORDER" for beginning work, whichever comes first.
Nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as
prohibiting the Contractor from working on Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holidays , providing that the following requirements are
met:
a. A request to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holiday must be made to the Engineer no later
than the proceeding Thursday.
b. Any work to be done on the project on such a

Legal Holiday, and no extra compensation shall be allowed to
the Contractor for any work performed on such a specific
Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday.
Calendar Days shall be defined in C1-1. 24 and the Contractor
may work as he so desires.
C7-7 (3)
C7-7 . 7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor
shall commence the working operations within the time
specified in the Contract Documents and set forth in the Work MM
Order. Failure to do so shall be considered by the Owner as
abandonment of the Contract by the Contractor and the Owner
may proceed as he sees fit.
The Contractor shall maintain a rate of progress such as will
insure that the whole work will be performed and the premises
cleaned up in accordance with the Contract Documents and
within the time established in such documents and such
extension of time as may be properly authorized by the Owner.
C7-7 . 8 EXTENSION OF TIME COMPLETION: The Contractor' s request
for an extension of time of completion shall be considered
only when the request for such extension is submitted in
writing to the Engineer within seven days from and after the
time alleged cause of delay shall have occurred. Should an
extension of the time of completion be requested such request
will be forwarded to the City Council for approval .
In adjusting the contract time for completion of work ,
consideration will be given to unforseeable causes beyond the
control of and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but limited to acts of the public enemy,
acts of the Owner , fire , flood , tornadoes , epidemics ,
quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes , or delays
of sub-contractors due to such causes.
When the date of completion is based on a calendar day bid, a
request for extension of time because of inclement weather
will not be considered. A request for extension of time due
to inability to obtain supplies and materials will be
considered only when a review of the Contractor ' s purchase
order dates and other pertinent data as requested by the
Engineer indicates that the Contractor has made a bonafide
attempt to secure delivery on schedule. This shall include
efforts to obtain the supplies and materials from alternate
sources in case the first source cannot make delivery.
If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract
should require work and materials in greater amounts or
quantities than those set forth in the approved Contract
Documents, then the contract time may be increased by Change
Order.
C7-7 . 9 DELAYS: The Contractor shall receive no compensation
for delays or hindrances to the work, except when direct and
unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor is caused by the
failure of the City to provide information or material , if
C7-7 (4) •r
gar.
any, which is to be furnished by the City. When such extra
compensation is claimed a written statement thereof shall be
presented by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by him
found correct shall be approved and referred by him to the
Council for final approval or disapproval ; and the action
thereon by the Council shall be final and binding. If delay
— is caused by specific orders given by the Engineers to stop
work, or by the performance of extra work, or by the failure
of the City to provide material or necessary instructions for
carrying on the work , then such delay will entitle the
Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, his application
for which shall , however , be subject to the approval of the
City Council ; and no such extension of time shall release the
Contractor or the surety on his performance bond from all his
obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until
the discharge of the contract.
C7-7 . 10 TIME OF COMPLETION: The time of completion is an
essential element of the contract. Each bidder shall indicate
in the appropriate place on the last page of the Proposal the
number of working days or calendar days that he will require
to fully complete this contract or the time of completion will
be specified by the City in the Proposal section of the
contract documents.
The number of days indicated shall be a realistic estimate of
the time required to complete the work covered by the specific
contract being bid upon. The amount of time so stated by the
successful bidder or the City will become the time of
completion specified in the Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted
after the time specified in the Contract Documents , or the
increased time granted by the Owner , or as automatically
increased by additional work or materials ordered after the
contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following
schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the
Contract Documents , will be deducted from monies due the
Contractor , not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages
suffered by the Owner.
AMOUNT OF CONTRACT
Less than $ 5,000 inclusive $ 35. 00
$ 5,001 to $ 15, 000 inclusive $ 45. 00
$ 15,001 to $ 25,000 inclusive $ 63 . 00

$ 500,001 to $1,000,000 inclusive $ 315. 00
$1, 000,001 to $2,000 ,000 inclusive $ 420. 00
$2,000,001 and over $ 630. 00 ..
The parties hereto understand and agree that any harm to the
City caused by the Contractor ' s delay in completing the work
hereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents
would be incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation,

out above, is a reasonable forecast of just compensation due
the City for harm caused by any delay.

suspend operations on such part or parts of the work ordered
by any court , and will not be entitled to additional
compensation by virtue of such court order . Neither will he _

detrimental to the interest of the project. During temporary
suspension of work covered by this contract , for any reason,
the Owner will make no extra payment for stand-by time of
construction equipment and/or construction crews.
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 obstruct or impede the public
unnecessarily nor become damaged in any way, and he shall take
every precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the
work performed; he shall provide suitable drainage about the
work, and erect temporary structures where necessary.
Should the Contractor not be able to complete a portion of the
project due to causes beyond the control of and without the
fault or negligence of the Contractor as set forth in
Paragraph C7-7 . 8 EXTENSION OF THE 'TIME OF COMPLETION , and
should it be determined by mutual consent of the Contractor
and the Engineer that a solution to allow construction to
proceed is not available within a reasonable period of time,
then the Contractor may be reimbursed for the cost of moving
his equipment off the job and returning the necessary
equipment to the job when it is determined by the Engineer
C7-7 (6 ) .,
that construction may be resumed. Such reimbursement shall be
based on actual cost to the Contractor of moving the equipment
and no profit will be allowed.

another construction project for the City of Fort North.
The Contractor shall not suspend work without written notice
from the Engineer and shall proceed with the work operations

have been made and listing all necessary items of labor ,

necessary labor, materials and equipment within thirty days ,
the Contractor may request the Owner to terminate the contract
and the Owner may comply with the request, and the termination
�. shall be conditioned and based upon a final settlement

D-16 2:27 Concrete:
Transportation and Public Works Department typical Sections for Pavement and Trench Repair
for Utility Cuts Fig's 1 through 5 refer to using 2:27 Concrete as base repair. Since this call-out
includes the word "concrete", the consistent interpretation of the Transportation Public Works
i Department is that this ratio specifies two (2) sacks of cement per cubic yard of concrete. With
the exception of the cement content, all other requirement shall meet or exceed Transportation
and Public Works Department standard specification Item 406 Class D Concrete.
D-17 Pavement Repair 2-19):

sides of the trench,a minimum of twelve(12)inches outside the trench walls.The trench shall be
back-filled and the top nine(9)inches shall be filled with required materials as shown on paving
... details, compacted and level with the finished street surface. This finished grade shall be
D-5
maintained in a serviceable condition until the paving has been replaced. All residents'
driveways shall be accessible at night and over weekends. ..
It has been determined by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the strip of
existing HMAC pavement between the existing gutter and the edge of the trench pavement repair
will not hold up if such strip of existing pavement is two(2)feet or less in width.
Therefore, at the locations in the project where the trench wall is three (3) feet or less from the
lip of the existing gutter, the Contractor shall be required to remove the existing paving to such
gutter. The pavement repair shall then be made from a minimum distance of twelve (12) inches
outside the trench wall nearest the center of the street to the gutter line.
The pavement shall be replaced within a maximum of five (5) working days, providing job
placement conditions will permit re-paving. If paving conditions are not suitable for re-paving,
in tfie opinion of the Owner,the re-paving shall be done at the earliest possible date.
A permit must be obtained from the Department of Engineering's Permit Desk by the Contractor
in conformation with Ordinance No. 3449 and/or Ordinance No. 792 to make utility cut in the
street. City Inspectors will inspect the paving repair after construction of each water and/or
sanitary sewer main replacement.
D-18 Pavement Repair in Parking Area:
The unit price bid under appropriate BID ITEM(S) of the Proposal shall cover all cost for --
providing pavement repair equal to or superior in composition, thickness, etc., to existing
pavement. All required paving cuts shall be made with a concrete saw in a true and straight line
on both sides of the trench, a minimum of twelve (12) inches outside the trench walls. The trench shall be back-filled and the top nine(9) inches shall be filled with crushed limestone base
material, compacted and level with the finished adjacent surface. This finished grade shall be
maintained in a serviceable condition until the paving has been replaced. ..

control measures shall at no time be used as a substitute for the permanent control measures
unless otherwise directed by the Engineer and they shall not include measures taken by the
CONTRACTOR to control conditions created by his construction operations. The temporary
measures shall include dikes, dams, berms, sediment basins, fiber mats,jute netting, temporary
seeding, straw mulch, asphalt mulch, plastic liners,rubble liners, baled-hay retards, dikes, slope ..
drains and other devices.
2.CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS:The Engineer has the authority to define erodible earth .•
and the authority to limit the surface area of erodible-earth material exposed by preparing right-
of-way,clearing and grubbing,the surface area of erodible-earth material exposed by excavation,
borrow and to direct the CONTRACTOR to provide temporary pollution-control measures to ..
prevent contamination of adjacent streams, other water courses, lakes, ponds or other areas of
water impoundment. Such work may involve the construction of temporary berms, dikes, dams,
sediment basins, slope drains and use of temporary mulches, mats seeding or other control
devices or methods directed by the Engineer as necessary to control soil erosion. Temporary
pollution-control measures shall be used to prevent or correct erosion that may develop during
construction prior to installation of permanent pollution-control features, but are not associated ,.
with permanent control features on the project.
The Engineer will limit the area of preparing right of way,clearing and grubbing,excavation and
borrow to be proportional to the CONTRACTOR'S capability and progress in keeping the finish
grading, mulching, seeding, and other such permanent pollution-control measures current in
accordance with the accepted schedule. Should seasonal conditions make such limitations
unrealistic, temporary soil-erosion-control measures shall be performed as directed by the
Engineer. The amount of surface area of erodible-earth material exposed at one time shall not
exceed 750,000 square feet for each excavation operation, 750,000 square feet for each material
source operation(other than from commercially operated sources), 750,000 square feet for each
preparing of right-of-way operation or 750,000 square feet for each clearing and grubbing
operation, unless otherwise shown on the plans or with prior approval by the Engineer in writing.
The CONTRACTOR shall also conform to the following practices and controls. All labor,tools,
equipment and incidentals to complete the work will not be paid for directly but shall be
considered as subsidiary work to the various items included in the contract.
(a). Waste or disposal areas and construction roads shall be located and constructed in a
manner that will minimize the amount of sediment entering streams.
(b).Frequent fording of live streams will not be permitted; therefore,temporary bridges
or other structures shall be used wherever an appreciable number of stream crossings are
necessary. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer, mechanized
equipment shall not be operated in live streams.
D-20
PF
(c). When work areas or material sources are located in or adjacent to live streams, such
Nft areas shall be separated from the stream by a dike or other barrier to keep sediment from
entering a flowing stream. Care shall be taken during the construction and removal of
such barriers to minimize the muddying of a stream.
am
(d). All waterways shall be cleared as soon as practicable of falsework,piling, debris or
other obstructions placed during construction operations that are not a'part of the
finished work.
(e). The CONTRACTOR shall take sufficient precautions to prevent pollution of
streams, lakes and reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride or other
harmful materials. He shall conduct and schedule his operations so as to avoid -or
- minimize siltation of streams, lakes and reservoirs and to avoid interference with
movement of migratory fish.
3. SUBMITTAL: Prior to the start of the applicable construction, the CONTRACTOR shall
submit for approval his schedules for accomplishment of soil-erosion-control work and his plan
to keep the area of erodible-earth material to a minimum. He shall also submit for acceptance
his proposed method of soil-erosion control on construction and haul roads and material sources
and his plan for disposal of waste materials. No work shall be started until the soil-erosion
control schedules and methods of operations have been reviewed and approved by the Engineer.
