If the Contractor shall for any cause whatsoever not carry on the working operation in an acceptable manner. k. If the Contractor commences legal action against the Owner. A copy of the suspension order or action of the City Council shall be served on the Contractor's Sureties. When work is suspended for any cause or causes, or when the contract is cancelled, the Contractor shall discontinue the work or such part thereof as the Owner shall designate, whereupon the Sureties may, at their option, assume the contract or that portion thereof which the Owner has ordered the Contractor to discontinue, and may perform the same or may, with the written consent of the Owner, sublet the work or that portion of the work as taken over, provided however, that the Sureties shall exercise their option, if at all, within two weeks after the written notice to discontinue the work has been served upon the Contractor and upon the Sureties or their authorized agents. The Sureties, in such event shall assume the Contractor's place in all respects, and shall be paid by the owner for all work performed by them in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents.

The expense so charged shall be deducted by the owner from such monies as may be due or may become due at any time thereafter to the Contractor under and by virtue of the Contract or any part thereof. The owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest bid for the work completing the contract, but the expense to be deducted shall be the actual cost of the owner of such work. In case such expenses shall exceed the amount which would have been payable under the Contract if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then the Contractor and his Sureties shall pay the amount of such excess to the City on notice from the Owner of the excess due. When any particular part of the work is being carried on by the Owner by contract or otherwise under the provisions of this section, the Contractor shall continue the remainder of the work in conformity with the terms of the Contract Documents and in such a manner as to not hinder or interfere with performance of the work by the owner.

At the time of installation, the geotextile shallbe rejected if it has defects, rips, holes, flaws, deterioration or damage incurred during manufacture, transportation or storage. The surface to receive the geotextile shall be prepared to a relatively smooth condition free of obstructions, depressions, debris, and soft or low density pockets of material. Erosion features such as rills, gullies, etc. must be graded out of the surface before geotextile placement. The geotextile shall be placed with the long dimension perpendicular to the centerline of the channel and laid smooth and free of tension, stress, folds, wrinkles, or creases. The strips shall be placed to provide a minimum width of 24 -inches of overlap for each joint. Temporary pinning of the textile to help hold it in place until the rock riprap is placed. The temporary pins shall be removed as the riprap is placed to relieve high tensile stress which may occur during placement of material .on the geotextile. The -specified placement procedure requires that the length of the geotextile be greater than the actual slope length. The Contractor shall adjust the actual length of the geotextile used based on initial installation experience. The geotextile shall be protected at all times during construction from contamination by surface runoff and any geotextile so contaminated shall be removed and replaced with uncontaminated geotextile. Any geotextile damaged during its installation or during placement of riprap shall be replaced by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner. The work shall be scheduled so that the covering of the geotextile with a layer of the specified material is accomplished within seven (7) calendar days after placement of the geotextile. Failure to comply shall require replacement of geotextile. The geotextile shall be protected from damage prior to and during the placement of rock riprap. Before placement of gabion units, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the 01/19/99 3:33 PM ASC-30 0 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS El u 0 I 0 0 I 0 0 0 I 0 0 J 3 4. placement technique will prevent darhage-to the geotextil . In no case shall any type of equipment be allowed on the unprotected geotextile. RIPRAP PLACEMENT: Stone for riprap shall be placed n the filter fabric blanket in such a manner as to produce a reasonably well graded m ss of rock with the minimum practicable percentage of voids and shall be constructed j,ithin the specified tolerance to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Then in nt of these specifications is to require placement of riprap to the thickness shown anq to allow isolated stones to extend as much as six inches above grade. Riprap shat be placed to its full course thickness at one operation and in such a manner as to av d displacing the fabric. The larger stones shall be well distributed and the entire niass of stones in their final position shall conform to the gradation specified hereinbefo e. The finished riprap shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and cl sters of larger stones. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones thrcighout the mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the quarry or other source, by controlled dumping of successive loads during final plac' g, or by other methods of placement which will produce the specified results. Rear nging of individual stones, by mechanical equipment or by hand will be required to th extent necessary to obtain a reasonably well graded distribution of stone specified above. The Contractor shall maintain the riprap protection until accepted. Any mater�al displaced by any cause shall be replaced at his erosion to the lines and grades sho n on the Drawings. GROUT PLACEMENT: Grout shall be composed of cem nt, water and air -entraining admixture and sand mixed in the proportions of 1 part of P rtland cement to 3 parts of sand, sufficient water to produce a workable mixture, and tht amount of admixture which will entrain sufficient air to produce durable grout, as det4jrmined by the ENGINEER. Sand for grouting shall conform to the requirements of pars raph FINE AGGREGATE. The grout shall be mixed in a concrete mixer in the manner pecified for concrete except that the time of mixing shall be increased to that necessary t4 produce a mixture having a consistency such as to permit gravity flow into the interstice of theriprap with the help of limited spading and brooming. The grout shall be used in the work within a period of one (1) hour after mixing. Retempering of ground will not be permitted. Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35 degre F. or above 95 degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor whert the grout, without special protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing temperatures Iefore final set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all surfaces of riprap shall be wetted. Thr riprap shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately 10 feet in widtI commencing at the lowest strip and working up the slope. Grout shall be brought toe place of final deposit by approved means, and in no case will grout be permitted to fl w on theriprapped surface a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately after dumping *F a batch of grout, it shall be distributed over the surface of the strip by the use of broorr and the grout worked into place between stones with suitable spades, trowels, or vibr ting equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from the top surfaces f the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of the stone protects n. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load shall be permitted n the grouted surface for a period of at least 24 hours. The grouted surface shall be jSrotected from rain, flowing water, and mechanical injury. The surface of all grouted ripraj shall be cured by keeping the surface continuously wet for a period of not less than 7 d4is. 01/19/99 3:33 PM U ASC-31 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS 0 E.
