individual proposal: Hdwever, it should be, noted that Unit II Alternate's No. 1& No. 2 are considered
to be alternatives to the same proposal. In order to be considered the apparent successful bidder for
the paving improvements, the Contractor is required to�submit bids (including separate M/WBE

Bidders shall, if annlicable, identify on the last page of the proposal section, the pre-qualified sub-
contractor who shall install the water and/or sanitary sewer facilities.

that no injury to the work, workmen or adjacent property will
result from its use.
C7-7.6 WORK SCHEDULE: Elapse3 working days shall be computed
starting with the first day of work completed as defined in
C1-1.23 "tidORKING DAY" or the date stipulated in the "WORK
ORDER" for beginning work, whichever comes first.
� Nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as
x prohibiting the Contractor from w�rking on Saturday, Sunday o.r
Legal Holidays, providing that the fol.lowing requirements are
°' met:

in the opinion of the Engineer, essential to the
timely completion of the project.
�,, The Engineer's decision shalt be final in response to such a
request for approval to wnrk on a specific Saturday, Sunday or
�» Legal Holiday, and no extra compensation shall be allowed to

Calendar Days shall be defined in C1-1.24 and the Contracto.r

C7-7.7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND CUMPLETION: The Contractor
shall commence the working operations within the timP
specified in the Contract Docurnents and set forth in the Wark
Orde.r. 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 progres� such as will
insure that the whole work will be perform�d and the premises
cleaned up in accordance with the Contract Documents and
within the time establishPd in such documents and such
extension of time as may be properly authorized by the Owner.
C7-7.8 EXTENSION OF TIME COMPLETZON: The Contractor's request
for an extension of time of completian 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 �r negligence o£ the
Contractor, including but limited to acts of the public enemy,
acts of the Owner, fire, flood, tornadoes, epidemics,
quarantin� restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, or 3elays
of sub-contractors due to such causes.
When the dat� of com�letion is based on a calendar day bid, a
request for extension of time bPcause 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 r?view of the Cont.ractor's purchase
order dates and other pe.rtinent data as requeste� by the
Engineer indicates that the Contractor has made a bonafide
attempt to secure deliv�ry on schedule. This shall include
efforts to obtain t'ne supplies and materials from alternate
sources in case the first source cannot make delivery.
If satisfactory ex�cution and co.mpletion of the contract
should require work and mat�riats in greater amounts o.r
quantities than those set farth in the approved Contract
Documents, then the contract ti.me may be in�r�ased by Change
Order.
C7-7.9 DELAYS: The Contr�ctor shall receive no compens�tion
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) �
[�J
�
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 b� 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 equivale�nt extension of time, his application
for which shall, however, be subject to the approval of the
City Council; and .no such extension of time sha11 r�lease the
Contractor or the surety on his per.Eormance 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 wi11
be specified by the City in the Proposal section of thP
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 �mount of time so statec� by the
successful bidder or the City wi11 becc�me the time of

For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted

increased by additional work or materials ord�red after the
contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following

The parties hereto understand and agree that any har.m to the
City caused by the Contractor's delay in completing the work
�ereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents
would be incapable or very difEicult of accurate estimation,
and that the "Amount of Liquidated Damages Per Day", as set
out above, is a reasonable forecast of just compensation due
the City for harm caused by any delay.
C7-7.11 SUSPENSION BY COURT ORDER: The Contr3ctor shall
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
be liable to the City in the event the work is suspended by a
Court Order. Neither will the Owne.r be liable to the
Contractor by virtue of any Court Order or action fo.r which
the Owner is not solely res�onsible.
C7-7.12 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION: The Owner shall have the right
to suspend the work operation wholly or in part for such
period or periods of time as he may deem necessary due to
unsuitabl� weather conditions or any other unfavorable
conditions which in the opinion of the Owner or Engineer cause
further prosecution of the work to be unsatisfactory or
detrimental to the interest of the project. During temPorary
suspension of work covered by tnis contract, for any reason,
the Owner will make no extra paym�nt for stand-by time of
construction equipment and/or const.ruction cre�ws.
If it should become n�cessary to suspend wor� for an
indefinite period, the Contractor shall sto.re all materials in
such manner that they will not obstru�t or impede the public
unnecessarily nor become damaged in any way, and he shatl take
every precaution to nrevent dama�e or deterioration of the
work performed; he shall provide suitable drainage about the
work, and erect temporary structures where necessary.
Should the Contractor not bp abl2 to comZ�lete a portion of the
project due to causes beyond the rontrol oE and without the
fault or negligence of the C�ntractor as set forth in
Paragraph C7-7.8 EXTENSION OF THE 'rIME OE 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 wit�lin a r�asonable period of time,
then the Contrac�or may be r�imbursed 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

another construction �roject for the City oF Fort 'vVort}i.
The Contractor shall not suspend work without written notice
from the Engineer and shall proceed with the work operations

Whenever, because of National Emergency, so declared by the
President of the United �tates or other �awful authority, it
becomes impossible for the Contractor to obtain all o� the
necessary labor, materials, and equipment for the prosecution
o.E the work with reasonable continuity for a period of two
months, the Contractor shall within seven days noti£y the City
in writing; giving a detailed statement of the eFforts w'nic:�
have been made and listing all necessary items of l�bo.r,
materials, and equipment not obtainablP. If, after
investigations, the Owner finds that such conditions existing
and that the inability of the Contractor to oroceed is not
attribut�ble in whole o.r in part to the fault or rlegl�ct of
the Contract, then i.f_ the O�vner cannot after reasonable effort
assist the Contractor in procuring and making available the
nec�ssary labor, inaterials and equi�ment within t}�irty days,
the Contractor may request the Owner to terminatP the contr3ct

written permission of �he Engineer to make a substitution for the material which has been specified. Where
the term "or equal;" or "or approved equal" is used, it is understood that if a material, product, or piece of
equipment bearing the name so used is furnished it will be approvable, as the particular trade name was
used for the purpose of establishing a standard of quality acceptable to the City. If a product of any other
name is proposed for use, the Engineer's approval thereof must be obtained before the proposed substitute
is procured by the Contractor. Where the term "or equal," or "or approved equal" is not used in the
specifications, this does not necessazily exclude alternative items or material or equipment which may
accomplish the intended purpose. However, the Contractor shall have the full responsibility of proving that
the proposed substitution is, in fact, equal, and the Engineer, as the representative of the City, shall be the
sole judge of the acceptability of substitutions. The provisions of this sub-section as related to

multiplied by the quantity of material used measured in accordance with E2-2.16 Measurement of Backfill
Materials of the General Contract Documents and Specifications.
D-15 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 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-16 Pavement Renair (E2-19):
(E2-19): The unit pric� bid under the appropriate bid item of the proposal shall cover all cost for providing
pavement repair equal to or superior in composition, thickness, etc., to existing pavement as detailed in the
Public Works Department typical sections for Pavement and Trench Repair for Utility cuts, Figures 1
through 5.
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 backfilled 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 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.
�
�
I�I
The,pavement shall be replaced within a maximum of five (5) working days�, providing job placement
conditions will permit repaving. If paving conditions aze not suitable for repaving, in the opinion of the
Owner, the repaving shall be done at the eazliest 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-35 Temnorary Erosion, Sediment, and Water Pollution Control:
1 DESCRIPTION: This item shall consist of temporary soil erosion sediment and water pollution control
measures deemed necessary by the Engineer for the duration af the contract. These control measures shall
�
at no time be used as a substitute for the permanent control measures unless otherwise d'uected 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 o� erodible-earth material exposed by preparing right-of-way, clearing
and grubbing, the surface azea 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 conect erosion that may
develop during construction prior to installation of permanent pollution-control features, but aze not
associated with permanent control features on the project.
The Engineer will limit the area of preparing right of way, cleazing and grubbing, excavation and borrow to
be proportional to the CONTRACTOR'S capability and progress in keeping the imish 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 axceed 750,000 square feet for each excavation operation, 7��0,000
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 squaze feet for each clearing and
grubbing operation, unless otherwise shown on the plans or with prior approval by the Engineer in writing.
T'he CONTRACTOR shall also conform to the following practices and controls. All labor, tools,
equipment and incidentals'�o complete the work will not be paid for directly but shall be considered as
subsidiary work to the vazious 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 fordings of live streams will not be permitted; therefore, temporary bridges or other structures
�hall 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.
(c). When work areas or material sources are located in or adjacent to live streams, such 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.
(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 CONTRA�TOR 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. SUBMIT'TAL: Prior to the start of the applicable construction, the CONTR.ACTOR 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.
4. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: All work, materials and equipment necessary to provide
� temporary erosion control shall be considered subsidiary to the contract and no extra pay will be given for
this work.
D-36 Television Insuection of Sanitary Sewer Lines:

� hydraulically driven hose reel.
Hydraulically Propelled Equipment shall be of a movable dam type and be constructed in such a way that a
� portion of the dam may be collapsed at any time during the cleaning operation to protect against flooding
of the sewer. The movable dam shall be equal in diameter to the pipe being cleaned and shall provide a
flexible scraper around the outer periphery to insure removal of grease. If sewer cleaning balls or other
equipment which cannot be collapsed is used, special precautions to prevent flooding of the sewers and
� public or private property shall be taken. The flow of sewage present in the sewer lines shall be utilized to
provide necessary fluid for hydraulic cleaning devices whenever possible.
� 3. CLEANING PROCEDURES: The designated sewer manhole sections shall be cleaned using high-
velocity jet equipment. The equipment shall be capable of removing dirt, grease, rocks, sand, and other
materials and obstructions from the sewer lines and manholes. If cleaning of an entire section cannot be
� successfully performed from one manhole, the equipment shall be set up on the other manhole and �
cleaning again attempted. If, again, successful cleaning cannot be performed or the equipment fails to
traverse the entire manhole section, it will be assumed that a major blockage exists and the cleaning effort
shall be abandoned. When additional quantities of water from fire hydrants is necessary to avoid delay in
� normal working procedures, the water shall be cdnserved and not used unnecessarily. No fire hydrant shall
be obstructed in case of a fire in the azea served by the hydrant. Before using any water from the City
