G.2.3 Payments for Work: The OWNER or ENGINEER shall review CONTRACTOR'S applications for payment and supporting data, determine the amount owed to the CONTRACTOR and approve, in writing, payment to CONTRACTOR in such amounts; such approval of payment to CONTRACTOR constitutes a representation to the OWNER'S or ENGINEER'S professional judgment that the work has progressed to the point indicated to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, but such approval of an application for payment to CONTRACTOR shall not be deemed as a representation by OWNER or ENGINEER that OWNER or ENGINEER has made any examination to determine how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid on account of the Contract price.

Likewise, the CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for the safety of himself, his employees and other persons, as well as for the protection of the safety of the improvements being erected and the property of himself or any other person, as a result of his operations hereunder. Shop or working construction drawings and any specifications shown in relation thereto, as well as any additional information concerning the work to be performed, passing from or through the ENGINEER, shall not be interpreted as requiring or allowing CONTRACTOR to deviate from the plans and specifications, the intent of such drawings, specifications and any other such instructions being to define with particularity the agreement of the parties as to the work the CONTRACTOR is to perform. CONTRACTOR shall be fully and completely liable, at his own expense, for design, construction, installation and use, or non-use, of all items and methods incident to performance of the contract, and for all loss, damage or injury incident thereto, either to person or property, including, without limitation, the adequacy of all temporary supports, shoring, bracing, scaffolding, machinery or equipment, safety precautions or devices, and similar items or devices used by him during construction. Any review of work in process, or any visit or observation during construction, or any clarification of plans and specifications, by the OWNER or ENGINEER, or any agent, employee, or representative of either of them, whether through personal observation on the project site or by means of approval of shop drawings for temporary construction or construction processes, or by other means or method, is agreed by the CONTRACTOR to be for the purpose of observing the extent and nature of work completed or being performed, as measured against the drawings and specifications constituting the contract, or for the purpose of enabling CONTRACTOR to more fully understand the plans and specifications so that the completed construction work will conform thereto, and shall in no way relieve the CONTRACTOR from full and complete responsibility for the proper performance of his work on the project, including but without limitation the propriety of means and methods of the CONTRACTOR in performing said contract, and the adequacy of any designs, plans or other facilities for accomplishing such performance. Deviation by the CONTRACTOR from plans and specifications that may have been in evidence during any such visitation or observation by the OWNER or ENGINEER, or any of his representatives whether called to the CONTRACTOR'S attention or not, shall in no way relieve CONTRACTOR from his responsibility to complete all work in accordance with said plans and specifications. G.2.6 Contractor's Understanding: It is understood and agreed that the CONTRACTOR has, by careful examination, satisfied himself as to the nature and location of the work, the conformation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of the materials to be encountered, the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and G-3 during the prosecution of the work, the general and local conditions, and all other matters which can in any way affect the work under this contract. No verbal agreement or conversation with any officer, agent or employee of the OWNER or ENGINEER, either before or after the execution of this contact, shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations herein contained. G.2.7 Character of Workmen: The CONTRACTOR agrees to employ only orderly and competent men, skillful in the performance of the type of work required under this contract, to do the work; and agrees that whenever the OWNER or ENGINEER shall inform him in writing that any man or men on the work are, in his opinion, incompetent, unfaithful or disorderly, such man or men shall be discharged from the work and shall not again be employed on the work without the OWNER'S or ENGINEER'S written consent. G.2.8 Contractor's Buildings: The building of structures for housing men, or the erection of tents or other forms of protection, will be permitted only at such places as the OWNER or ENGINEER shall direct, and the sanitary conditions of the grounds in or about such structures shall at all times be maintained in a manner satisfactory to the OWNER or ENGINEER.

The CONTRACTOR shall make any corrections required by the OWNER or ENGINEER, file with him two corrected copies and furnish such other copies as may be needed. The OWNER'S or ENGINEER'S approval of such drawings or schedules shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from responsibility for deviations from drawings or specifications, unless he has in writing called the OWNER'S or ENGINEER'S attention to such deviations at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him from responsibility for errors of any sort in shop drawings or schedules. It shall be the CONTRACTOR'S responsibility to fully and completely review all shop drawings to ascertain their effect on his ability to perform the required contract work in accordance with the plans and specifications and within the contract time. Such review by the OWNER or ENGINEER shall be for the sole purpose of determining the sufficiency of said drawings or schedules to result in finished improvements in conformity with the plans and specifications, and shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR of his duty as an independent contractor as previously set forth, it being expressly understood and agreed that the OWNER or ENGINEER does not assume any duty to pass upon the propriety or adequacy of such drawings or schedules, or any means or methods reflected thereby, in relation to the safety of either person or property during CONTRACTOR'S performance hereunder. G.2.11 Preliminary Approval: The OWNER or ENGINEER shall not have the power to waive the obligations of this contract for the furnishing by the CONTRACTOR of good material, and of his performing good work as herein described, in full accordance with the plans and specifications. No failure or omission of the OWNER or ENGINEER to discover, object to or condemn any defective work or material shall release the CONTRACTOR from the obligations to fully and properly perform the contract, including without limitation, the obligation to G-4 at once tear out, remove and properly replace the same at any time prior to final acceptance upon the discovery of said defective work or material; provided, however, that the OWNER or ENGINEER shall, upon request of the CONTRACTOR, inspect and accept or reject any material furnished, and in event the material has been once accepted by the OWNER or ENGINEER, such acceptance shall be binding on the OWNER, unless it can be clearly shown that such material furnished does not meet the specifications for this work. Any questioned work may be ordered taken up or removed for re-examination by the OWNER or ENGINEER prior to final acceptance, and if found not in accordance with the specifications for said work, all expense of removing, re-examination and replacement shall be borne by the CONTRACTOR, otherwise the expense thus incurred shall be allowed as EXTRA WORK, and shall be paid for by the OWNER; provided that, where inspection or approval is specifically required by the specifications prior to performance of certain work, should the CONTRACTOR proceed with such work without requesting in writing prior inspection or approval, he shall bear all expense of taking up, removing, and replacing this work if so directed by the OWNER or ENGINEER. G.2.12 Defects and their Remedies: It is further agreed that if the work or any part thereof, or any material brought on the site of the work for use in the work or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the OWNER or ENGINEER as unsuitable or not in conformity with the specifications, the CONTRACTOR shall, after receipt of written notice thereof from the OWNER or ENGINEER, forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such work so that it shall be in full accordance with this contract. G.2.13 Changes and Alterations: The CONTRACTOR further agrees that the OWNER or ENGINEER may make such changes and alterations as the OWNER may see fit, in the line, grade, form, dimensions, plans or materials for the work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before or after the beginning of the construction, without affecting the validity of this contract and the accompany Performance and Payment Bonds. If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not constitute the basis for a claim for damages for anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with. If the amount of work is increased, such additional work shall be paid for as provided under Extra Work. In case the OWNER shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already done or material already furnished or used in said work, then the OWNER shall recompense the CONTRACTOR for any material or labor so used, and for any actual loss occasioned by such change, due to actual expenses incurred in preparation for the work as originally planned. G.3 GENERAL OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: G.3.1 Keeping Plans and Specifications Accessible: The OWNER shall furnish the CONTRACTOR with an adequate and reasonable number of copies of all plans and specifications without expense to him, and the CONTRACTOR shall keep one copy of the same constantly accessible on the work, with the latest revisions noted thereon. G.3.2 Ownership of Drawings: All drawings, specifications and copies thereof furnished by the OWNER shall not be reused on other work, and, with the exception of the signed contract sets, are to be returned to him on request, at the completion of the work. All models are the property of the OWNER. G.3.3 Adequacy of Design: It is understood that the OWNER believes it has employed competent engineers and designers. It is, '3 therefore, agreed that, as to the CONTRACTOR only, the OWNER shall be responsible for the adequacy of the design, sufficiency of the Contract Documents, and the practicability of the operations of the completed project; provided the CONTRACTOR has complied with the requirements of the said Contract Documents, all approved modifications thereof, and additions and alterations thereto approved in writing by the OWNER. The burden of proof of such compliance shall be upon the CONTRACTOR to show that he has complied with the said requirements of the Contract Documents, approved modifications thereof and all approved additions and alterations thereto. G.3.4 Right of Entry: The OWNER reserves the right to enter the property or location on which the works herein contracted for are to be constructed or installed, by such agent or agents as he may elect, for the purpose of inspecting the work, or for the purpose of constructing or installing such collateral work as said OWNER may desire. G.3.5 Collateral Contracts: The OWNER agrees to provide by separate contract or otherwise, all labor and material essential to the completion of the work specifically excluded from this contract, in such manner as not to delay the progress of the work or damage said CONTRACTOR, except where such delays are specifically mentioned elsewhere in the Contract Documents. G.3.6 Discrepancies and Omissions: It is further agreed that it is the intent of this contract that all work must be done and all material must be furnished in accordance with the generally accepted practice, and in the event of any discrepancies between the separate contract documents, the priority of interpretation defined under "Contract Documents" shall govern. In the event that there is still any doubt as to the meaning and intent of any portion of the contract, specifications or drawings, the ENGINEER shall define which is intended to apply to the work. G.3.7 Equipment, Materials, and Construction Plant The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, protection and replacement of all materials, supplies, macninery, equipment, tools, apparatus, accessories, facilities, all means of construction, and any and all parts of the work, whether the CONTRACTOR has been paid, partially paid, or not paid for such work, or whether OWNER has taken possession of completed portions of such work, until the entire work is completed and accepted. G.3.8 Protection Against Accidents to Employees and the Public: The CONTRACTOR shall at all times exercise reasonable precautions for the safety of employees and others on or near the work and shall comply with all applicable provisions of Federal, State, and Municipal safety laws and building and construction codes. All machinery and equipment and other physical hazards shall be guarded in accordance with the "Manual of Accident Prevention in Construction" of the Associated General contractors of America except where incompatible with Federal, State, or Municipal laws or regulations. The CONTRACTOR shall provide such machinery guards, safe walkways, ladders, bridges, gangplanks, and other safety devices. The safety precautions actually taken and their adequacy shall be the sole responsibility of the CONTRACTOR, acting at his discretion as an independent contractor. G.3.9 Performance and Payment Bonds: Unless otherwise specified, it is further agreed by the parties to this Contract that the CONTRACTOR will execute separate performance and payment bonds, each in the sum of one hundred (100) percent of the total contract price, in standard forms for this purpose, guaranteeing faithful performance of the work and the fulfillment of any guarantees required, and further guaranteeing payment to all persons G-6 supplying labor and materials or furnishing him any equipment in the execution of the Contract, and it is agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such performance and payment bonds are furnished and approved by the OWNER. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the OWNER, the surety company underwriting the bonds shall be acceptable according to the latest list of companies holding certificates of authority from the appropriate authority of the State of Texas. Unless otherwise stated, the cost of the premium for the performance and payment bonds shall be included in the CONTRACTOR'S proposal. G.3.10 Losses from Natural Causes: Unless otherwise specified, all loss or damage to the CONTRACTOR arising out of the nature of the work to be done, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstance in the prosecution of the same, or from unusual obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work, shall be sustained and borne by the CONTRACTOR at his own cost and expense. G.3.11 Protection of Adjoining Property: The CONTRACTOR shall take proper means to protect the adjacent or adjoining property or properties in any way encountered, which might be injured or seriously affected by any process of construction to be undertaken under this Agreement, from any damage or injury by reason of said process of construction; and he shall be liable for any and all claims for such damage on account of his failure to fully protect all adjoining property. The CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the OWNER and ENGINEER against any claim or claims for damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, arising or growing out of the performance of the contract. G.3.12 Protection Against Claims: The CONTRACTOR agrees that he will indemnify and save the OWNER and ENGINEER harmless from all claims growing out of the demands of sub -contractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools, and all supplies, including commissary, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this contract, regardless whether caused wholly or in part by the negligence or gross negligence of any party indemnified hereunder and regardless of the application of any worker's compensation or similar statute which might apply to any employees or agents of the CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor. When so desired by the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged or 'Naived. If the CONTRACTOR fails so to do, then the OWNER may, at its sole option, either pay directly any unpaid bills of which the OWNER has written notice and deduct such amount from the next partial payment due to CONTRACTOR, or withhold from the CONTRACTOR'S unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to liquidate any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged, whereupon payments to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed in full in accordance with the terms of this contract; but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligation upon the OWNER by either the CONTRACTOR or his Surety. G.3.13 Protection Against Royalties or Patented Invention: The CONTRACTOR shall pay all royalties and license fees, and shall provide for the use of any design, device, material or process covered by letters patent or copyright by suitable legal agreement with the patentee or owner. The CONTRACTOR shall defend all suits or claims for infringement of any patent or copyright rights and shall indemnify and save the OWNER and ENGINEER harmless from any loss on account thereof, except that the OWNER shall defend all such suits and claims and shall be responsible for all such loss when a particular design, device, material or process or the product of a particular manufacturer or manufacturers is specified or required by the OWNER; provided, however, if choice of G-7 alternate design, device, material or process is allowed to the CONTRACTOR, then CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and save OWNER harmless from any loss on account thereof. If the material or process specified or required by the OWNER is an infringement, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for such loss unless he promptly gives such information to the OWNER. G.3.14 Laws and Ordinances: The CONTRACTOR shall at all times observe and comply with all Federal, State and local laws, ordinances and regulations, which in any manner affect the contract or the work, and shall indemnify and save harmless the OWNER and ENGINEER against any claim arising from the violation of any such laws, ordinances, and regulations whether by the CONTRACTOR or his employees, except where such violations are called for by the provisions of the Contract Documents. If the CONTRACTOR observes that the plans and specifications are at variance therewith, he shall promptly notify the OWNER or ENGINEER in writing, and any necessary changes shall be adjusted as provided in the contract for changes in the work. If the CONTRACTOR performs any work knowing it to be contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and without such notice to the OWNER or ENGINEER, he shall bear all costs arising therefrom. In case the OWNER is a body politic and corporate, the law from which it derives its powers, insofar as the same regulates the objects for which, or the manner in which, or the conditions under which the OWNER may enter into contract, shall be controlling, and shall be considered as part of this contract, to the same effect as though embodied herein. G.3.15 Assignment and Subletting: The CONTRACTOR further agrees that he will retain personal control and will give his personal attention to the fulfillment of this contract and that he will not assign by Power of Attorney, or otherwise, or sublet said contract without the written consent of the OWNER or ENGINEER, and that no part or feature of the work will be sublet to anyone objectionable to the ENGINEER or the OWNER. The CONTRACTOR further agrees that the subletting of any portion or feature of the work, or materials required in the performance of this contract, shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from his full obligations to the OWNER, as provided by this Agreement. G.3.16 Indemnification: The CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the OWNER and the ENGINEER and their respective officers, agents and employees, from and against all damages, claims, losses, demands, suits, judgments and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising out of or resulting form the performance of the work, provided that any such damages, claim, loss, demand, suit, judgment, cost or expense: Is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death or to injury or destruction of tangible property (other than the work itself) including the loss of use resulting therefrom; and, Is caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, the Owner, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any one of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, regardless of whether or not it is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. The obligation of the CONTRACTOR under this Paragraph shall not extend to the liability of the ENGINEER, his agents or employees arising out of the preparation or approval of maps, drawings, reports, surveys, Change Orders, designs or specifications, or the giving of or the failure to give directions or instructions by the ENGINEER, his agents or employees, provided such giving or failure to give is the primary cause of the injury or damage. G.3.17 Insurance: The CONTRACTOR at his own expense shall purchase, maintain and keep in force such insurance as will protect him from claims set forth below which may arise out of or result from the CONTRACTOR'S M operations under the Contract, whether such operations be by himself or by any Subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, including the acts of OWNER: A. Workmen's compensation claims, disability benefits and other similar employee benefit acts; B. Claims for damages because of bodily injury, occupational sickness or disease, or death of his employees, and claims insured by usual bodily injury liability coverage; C. Claims for damages because of bodily injury, sickness or disease, or death of any person other than his employees, and claims insured by usual bodily injury liability coverage; D. Claims for damages because of injury to or destruction of tangible property, including loss of use resulting there from. G.3.18 Policies of Insurance: Before commencing any of the work, the CONTRACTOR shall file with the OWNER valid Policies of Insurance acceptable to the OWNER and the ENGINEER. Such Policies shall contain a provision that coverage afforded under the Policies will not be canceled until at least thirty days' prior written notice has been given to the OWNER. The CONTRACTOR shall also file with the OWNER valid Policies of Insurance covering all sub -contractors. G.3.19 Waiver of Subrogation: CONTRACTOR, its agents, employees and subcontractors, hereby waive any and all rights of subrogation against OWNER or ENGINEER arising out of any claim or incident for which insurance coverage or indemnification is required under the Contract Documents. G.4 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS: G.4.1 Time and Order of Completion: It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall be allowed to prosecute his work at such times and seasons, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conducive to economy of construction; provided however, that the order and the time of prosecution shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part in accordance with this contract, the plans and specifications, and within the time of completion designated in the Proposal; provided, also, that when the OWNER is having other work done, either by contract or by his own force, the ENGINEER may direct the time and manner of constructing the work done under this contract, so that conflict will be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the OWNER shall be harmonized. The CONTRACTOR shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the OWNER or ENGINEER, schedules which shall show the order in which the CONTRACTOR proposes to carry on the work, with dates at which the CONTRACTOR will start the several parts of the work, and estimated dates of completion of the several parts. G.4.2 Extension of Time: Should the CONTRACTOR be delayed in the completion of the work by any act or neglect of the OWNER or ENGINEER, or of any employee of either, or by other contractors employed by the OWNER, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strikes, lockouts, fires, and unusual delays by common carriers, or uncontrollable cause or causes beyond the CONTRACTOR'S control, and the OWNER or ENGINEER decides such cause justifies the delay, then an extension of time sufficient to compensate for the delay M as determined by the OWNER or ENGINEER shall be allowed for completing the work; provided, however, that the CONTRACTOR shall give the OWNER or ENGINEER prompt notice in writing of the cause of such delay. G.4.3 Hindrances and Delays: No claims shall be made by the CONTRACTOR for damages resulting from hindrances or delays from any cause (except where the work is stopped by order of the OWNER) during the progress of any portion of the work embraced in this contract. In case said work shall be stopped by the act of the OWNER, then such expense as in the judgment of the ENGINEER is caused by such stoppage of said work shall be paid by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR. G.5 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: G.5.1 Quantities and Measurements: No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed length, area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided. G.5.2 Estimated Quantities: This agreement, including the specifications and plans, is intended to show clearly all work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown for the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract, they are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing the proposals offered for the work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract may differ somewhat from these estimates. G.5.3 Price of Work: In consideration of the furnishing of all the necessary labor, equipment and material, and the completion of all work by the CONTRACTOR, and on the completion of all work and of the delivery of all material embraced in this Contract in full conformity with the specifications and stipulations herein contained, the OWNER agrees to pay the CONTRACTOR the prices set forth in the Proposal hereto attached, which has been made a part of this contract. The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to receive such prices in full payment for furnishing all material and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also for all expense incurred by him, and for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to this Agreement. G.5.4 Partial Payments: On or before the 25th day of each month, the CONTRACTOR shall prepare and submit to the OWNER an application for payment showing as completely as practicable the total value of the work done by the CONTRACTOR up to and including the last day immediately preceding the date of such application and the value of all sound materials delivered on the site of the work that are to be fabricated into the work. In addition an updated construction schedule shall be submitted in an electronic format acceptable to the OWNER. The OWNER or ENGINEER shall verify CONTRACTOR'S application, shall either approve or modify the total value of the work done by CONTRACTOR and the value of materials delivered on the site, and shall submit to OWNER such application for payment as approved or modified with OWNER'S and/or ENGINEER'S verification affixed thereto on or before the 5th day of the month following the receipt of the application from CONTRACTOR. The OWNER shall pay the CONTRACTOR on or before the 20th day of the month in which the OWNER G-10 receives the approved application from the OWNER or ENGINEER the total amount of the approved and verified application, less 5 percent of the amount thereof, which 5 percent shall be retained until final payment, and further less all previous payments and all further sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to completion and some unexpected and unusual delay occurs due to no fault or neglect on the part of the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may, upon written recommendation of the ENGINEER, pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retainage to the CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR at the OWNER'S option, may be relieved of the obligation to fully complete the work and, thereupon, the CONTRACTOR shall receive payment of the balance due him under the contract subject only to the conditions stated under "Final Payment." Any such payments of retainage by OWNER to CONTRACTOR prior to final payment must be agreed to in writing by the surety or sureties on CONTRACTOR'S payment and performance bonds. The Contractor shall submit to the OWNER, copies of the material invoices with the application for payment. No payment will be made to the CONTRACTOR until the quantities of work submitted have been checked and verified by the OWNER or ENGINEER. G.5.5 Use of Completed Portions: The OWNER shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work or such portions may not have expired. Such taking possession and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, nor shall the risk of loss change from CONTRACTOR to OWNER. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time, or both, as the OWNER or ENGINEER may determine. G.5.6 Final Completion and Acceptance: The CONTRACTOR shall notify the OWNER or ENGINEER when, in the CONTRACTOR'S opinion, the contract is "substantially completed" and when so notifying the OWNER or ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish to the OWNER or ENGINEER in writing a detailed list of unfinished work. The OWNER or ENGINEER will review the CONTRACTOR'S list of unfinished work and will add thereto such items as the CONTRACTOR has failed to include. The substantial completion of the structure or facility shall not excuse the CONTRACTOR from performing all of the work undertaken, whether of a minor or major nature, and thereby completing the structure or facility in accordance with the Contract Documents. Within ten (10) days after the CONTRACTOR has given the OWNER or ENGINEER written notice that the work has been completed, or substantially completed, the ENGINEER and/or the OWNER shall inspect the work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, the OWNER or ENGINEER shall issue to the CONTRACTOR his Certificate of Completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the OWNER within ten (10) days to issue a Certificate of Acceptance of the work to the CONTRACTOR or to advise the CONTRACTOR in writing of the reason for non -acceptance. G.5.7 Affidavit of Bills Paid: Upon completion of the project and final acceptance by the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish the OWNER with an affidavit certifying that all suppliers and subcontractors have been paid, before final payment shall be made by the OWNER. G.5.8 Final Payment: Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the OWNER or ENGINEER shall proceed to make final measurements and prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under the terms of the Agreement and shall certify same to the OWNER. Thereafter, OWNER shall pay -11 to the CONTRACTOR, on or after the 30th day and before the 35th day, the balance due the CONTRACTOR under the terms of this Agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this contract and provided the CONTRACTOR has delivered to the OWNER the affidavit of bills paid, and a surety release. Neither the Certificate of Acceptance nor the final payment, nor any provision in the Contract Documents, shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required. G.5.9 Payments Withheld: The OWNER may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on account of: A. Defective work not remedied. B. Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims. C. Failure of the CONTRACTOR to make payments properly to subcontractors or for material or labor. D. Damage to another contractor. E. Reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the unpaid balance for the contract amount. Reasonable indication the work will not be completed within the contract time. G. Failure to submit "as built" drawings as required by the Contract Documents. When the above grounds are removed or the CONTRACTOR provides a surety bond satisfactory to the OWNER, which will protect the OWNER in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them. G.5.10 Delayed Payments: Should the OWNER fail to make payment to the CONTRACTOR of the sum named in any approved partial or final statement, when payment is due, the OWNER shall pay to the CONTRACTOR, in addition to the sum shown as due by such statement, interest thereon at the rate of six (6) percent per annum, unless otherwise specified, from date due as provided under "Partial Payments" and "Final Payments," until fully paid, which shall fully liquidate any injury to the CONTRACTOR growing out of such delay in payment, but the right is expressly reserved to the CONTRACTOR in the event payments be not promptly made, as provided under "Partial Payments," to at any time thereafter treat the contract as abandoned by the OWNER and recover compensation, as provided under "Abandonment of Contract," unless such payments are withheld in accordance with the provisions of "Payments Withheld." G.6 EXTRA WORK AND CLAIMS: G.6.1 Change Orders: Without invalidating this Agreement, the OWNER may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions to the work; such changes will be authorized by written Change Order prepared by the OWNER for execution by the CONTRACTOR. The Change Order shall set forth the basis for any change in contract price, as hereinafter set forth for Extra Work, and any change in contract time which may result from the change. In the event the CONTRACTOR shall refuse to execute a Change Order which has been prepared by the OWNER, the OWNER may in writing instruct the CONTRACTOR to proceed with the work as set forth in the Change Order and the CONTRACTOR may make claim against the OWNER for Extra Work involved therein, as hereinafter provided. G-12 G.6.2 Minor Changes: The OWNER or ENGINEER may authorize minor changes in the work not inconsistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in Contract Price. If the CONTRACTOR believes that any minor change or alteration authorized by the OWNER or ENGINEER involves Extra Work and entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price, the CONTRACTOR shall make written request to the OWNER or ENGINEER for a written Field Order. Any request by the CONTRACTOR for a change in Contract Price shall be made in writing in accordance with the provisions of this section prior to beginning the work covered by the proposed change. G.6.3 Extra Work: It is agreed that the basis of compensation to the CONTRACTOR for work either added or deleted by a Change Order or for which a claim for Extra Work is made shall be determined by one or more of the following methods: Method (A) -By agreed unit prices; or Method (B)-By agreed lump sum; or Method (C)-If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be agreed upon before the Extra Work is commenced, then the CONTRACTOR shall be paid the "actual field cost" of the work, plus fifteen (15) percent. In the event said Extra Work be performed and paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost to the CONTRACTOR of all workmen, such as foreman, timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, and materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, also all necessary incidental expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security Old Age Benefits and other payroll taxes, and, a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workmen's Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by any law or ordinance, or directed by the OWNER, or by them agreed to. The OWNER or ENGINEER may direct the form in which accounts of the "actual field cost" shall be kept and the records of these accounts shall be made available to the OWNER or ENGINEER. The OWNER or ENGINEER may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise these matters shall be determined by the CONTRACTOR. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined by using 100 percent, unless otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practicable the terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the written Change Order. The fifteen percent (15%) of the "actual field cost" to be paid the CONTRACTOR shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field cost" as herein defined; save that where the CONTRACTOR'S Camp or Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be included in the "actual field cost." No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by the OWNER or ENGINEER. In case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the CONTRACTOR to involve Extra Work for which he should receive compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written request to the OWNER or ENGINEER for written order authorizing such Extra Work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute Extra Work, or as to the payment therefore, and the OWNER or ENGINEER insists upon its performance, the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work after making written request for written order and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual field cost" thereof, as provided under Method (C). The CONTRACTOR will thereby G-13 preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to a court of general jurisdiction to decide the matter, otherwise the CONTRACTOR shall waive all claims for payment for Extra Work. G.7 ABANDONMENT OF CONTRACT: G.7.1 Abandonment by Contractor: In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written notification from the OWNER or ENGINEER, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the orders of the OWNER or ENGINEER, when such orders are consistent with the Contract Documents, then, and in that case, where performance and payment bonds exist, the Sureties on these bonds shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR. After receiving said notice of abandonment, the CONTRACTOR shall not remove from the work any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and equipment under contract for the work, may be held for use on the work by the OWNER or the Surety on the performance bond, or another contractor in completion of the work; and the CONTRACTOR shall not receive any rental or credit therefore (except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under Section 6, Extra Work and Claims), it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement. In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for, within ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the OWNER may provide for completion of the work in either of the following elective manners: The OWNER may employ such force of men and use such machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as said OWNER may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said CONTRACTOR, and expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the OWNER out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the CONTRACTOR, then said CONTRACTOR shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by said CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the OWNER; or The OWNER under sealed bids, after five , 5) days notice published one or more times in a newspaper having general circulation in the county of the location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In the case of any increase in cost to the OWNER under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increase shall be charged to the CONTRACTOR and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefore. However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this contract, the CONTRACTOR and/his Surety shall be credited therewith. When the work shall have been substantially completed the CONTRACTOR and his Surety shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, as provided in Paragraph 5.06 hereinabove, shall be issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to by the OWNER or ENGINEER as being correct, shall then be prepared and delivered to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety, whereupon the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety, or the OWNER as the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement, within fifteen (15) days after the date of such Certificate of Completion. G-14 After final completion of the work and in the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would have been the cost to the OWNER had the work been completed by the CONTRACTOR under the terms of this contract; or when the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the OWNER, then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials, shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety at the respective addresses designated in this contract; provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the CONTRACTOR and his Surety subject only to the duty of the OWNER to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice the OWNER may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the CONTRACTOR and his Surety. Such sale may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the OWNER may elect. The OWNER shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies, which remain on the work, and belong to persons other than the CONTRACTOR or his Surety, to their proper owners. G.7.2 Abandonment by Owner: In case the OWNER shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract within ten (10) days after written notification by the CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of work that have not been included in payments to the CONTRACTOR and have not been wrought into the work. Thereupon the ENGINEER shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said CONTRACTOR, the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the items of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the CONTRACTOR to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot be utilized. The ENGINEER shall then make a final statement of the balance due the CONTRACTOR by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the OWNER and all other sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement and shall certify same to the OWNER who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR on or before thirty (30) days after the date of delivery to OWNER of such certified final statement.

It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to locate such underground installations sufficiently in advance of construction operations to preclude damage to same, and in the event of damage to underground lines, whether shown on the plans or not, the Contractor shall be required to make, at his own expense, all repairs necessary to place the facility back in service and all repairs so made shall conform in all respects to the requirements of the company or agency servicing the facility. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to immediately notify the City Water and Sewer Department of any broken or damaged water or sanitarti sewer pipe resulting from the Contractor's operations and to temporarily plug the line until repaired. the Contractor shall also notify the respective companies or agencies owning any other line or facility damaged by him and shall take all necessary safety precautions until the line is repaired. Buildings or other structures along the route of the work and adjacent to the right-of-way shall be fully protected from damage which might result from the Contractor's operations by shoring or other such means as the circumstances may require. The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage resulting to such buildings or structures and shall be required to repair any damages in such manner as to return the structure to its original condition. Should any damage to any public or private property result from the Contractor's operations, he shall pay such sums or make such repairs as may be necessary to compensate for the losses. Arrangements for such compensations shall be made directly between the Contractor and the private parties involved. Telephone, light and power and other poles of similar nature, privately owned signs and similar structures which are not located on private property will be protected by the Owners thereof. However, the Contractor shall not undermine or otherwise endanger such items until the Owners have been notified and have been given reasonable opportunity to take necessary precautions to protect their interests. Any damage to sidewalks, street pavements, curb and gutter, driveways, drainage structures, street signs, traffic lights or other public or prvate property, including irrigation systems, caused by the Contractor's operations shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense, unless otherwise provided. 1.52 PROTECTION OF TREES, PLANTS AND SHRUBS:. All trees indicated on the drawings or designated by the Owner to remain shall be protected from damage. Substantially constructed guards or barricades shall be provided as required to protect tree trunks from moving equipment. The Contractor shall exercise special care to minimize damage to other trees, plants and shrubs along the route of the work. The Owners of trees, plants and shrubs which lie outside the property lines and within the normal limits of work shall be notified by the Contractor before beginning construction operations. The Owners shall be allowed to remove and protect their property, and all such trees, plants and shrubs not so protected by their Owners shall be removed and disposed of by the Contractor. I.53 NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHT: Inspection by the Engineer, any order, measurement, or certificate by the Engineer, any order by the Owner for payment of money, any payment for or acceptance of any work, or any extension of time, or any possession taken by the Owner, shall not operate as a waiver of any provisions of the Contract or I-12 Ed any power therein reserved to the Owner of any rights or damages therein provided. Any waiver of any breach of contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach. The Owner deserves the right to correct any error that may be discovered in any estimate that may have been paid and to adjust the same to meet the requirements of the contract and specifications. The Owner reserves the right to claim and recover by process of law sums as may be sufficient to correct any error or make good any deficiency in the work resulting from such error, dishonesty or collusion, upon the conclusive proof of collusion or dishonesty by the Contractor or his agents and the Engineer or his assistants, discovered in the work after the final payment has been made. 1.54 SAFETY: All equipment and materials furnished and installed on this project shall be manufactured and installed in accordance with the applicable parts of the Williams -Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and its subsequent amendments and revisions. All work shall be performed in accordance with the regulations and requirements of the above noted Act, its revisions and amendments. I.55 COMPETENT WORKMEN: The Contractor shall employ only competent workmen for the execution of his work and all such work shall be performed under the direct supervision of an experienced superintendent. I.56 FINAL INSPECTION: The Engineer will make final inspection of all work included in the contract as soon as practicable after the work is completed and ready for acceptance. If the work is not acceptable to the Engineer at the time of such inspection, he will inform the Contractor as to the particular defects to be remedied before final acceptance will be made. I.57 CLEAN UP FOR FINAL ACCEPTANCE: The Contractor shall make a final clean-up of all parts of the work before final acceptance by the Owner. This clean-up shall include, among other rnings, removal of all objectionable rocks, pieces of concrete, and other construction materials, and in general, preparing the site of the work in an orderly manner true to original grade and appearance. Disposal is not to be made on adjacent private or public property without written permission filed with the Engineer. If permission is granted by the property owners (public or private) the material so disposed of is to be leveled and left in a condition satisfactory to the Engineer. I.58 GUARANTEE: Except as modified by the provisions of Section H - Special Specifications, the Contractor shall guarantee the work which he does defective workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of final acceptance of the work by the Owner. Where defective workmanship and/or materials are discovered requiring repairs to be made under this guarantee, all such repair work shall be done by the Contractor at his own expense within five (5) days after written notice of such defect has been given to him by the Owner. Should the Contractor fail to repair leaks or correct such defective workmanship and/or materials within five (5) days after being notified, the Owner may make the necessary repairs and charge the Contractor with the actual cost of all labor and material required. I-13 1.59 FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME: The time of completion is the essence of the contract. For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in the proposal and the contract, 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 will be deducted from the monies due the Contractor, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages. Amount of Contract Amount of Liquidated Damages Per Day Less than $ 50,000 $ 60 $50,000 to $1000,000 $ 150 $100,000 to $250,000 $ 200 $250.000 to $500,000 $ 250 $500,000 to $750,000 $ 300 $750,000 to $1,000,000 $ 400 Over $1,000,00 $ 500 This sum of money thus deducted for such delay, failure or non -completion is not to be considered as a penalty, but it shall be deemed, taken and treated as reasonable liquidated damages, since it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages and the Owner may withhold from the Contractor's compensation such sum as liquidated damages.

Apply a thin uniform coat of the prime coat material to contact surfaces of gutters, manholes, and other structures. Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete 3 B. TACK COAT Thoroughly clean the surface of the asphalt base course and apply a uniform coat of tack material meeting the requirements for cutback asphalt RC-250.Apply a tack coat when the surface to be paved is portland cement concrete, brick, or asphaltic pavement. Apply the tack coat using sprayer at a rate not exceeding 0..05 gallon per square yard surface. Paint contact surfaces of curbs, gutters, vertical faces, and other structures in actual contact with asphaltic mixes with asphaltic material to provide a closely bonded, water -tight joint. C. COMPACTED THICKNESS OF ASPHALTIC CONCRETE SURFACE COURSES AND BASE COURSES 1. SURFACE COURSE The compacted thickness or depth of the asphaltic concrete surface shall be as indicated on the plans. Where the plans indicate a depth or thickness of the surface course greater than 2" compacted depth, same shall be placed in multiple courses of equal depth, each which shall not exceed 2" compacted depth. A tack coat is required between any of the multiple courses, and applied at the rate specified. 2. BASE COURSE The compacted thickness or depth of each base shall be as indicated. Where the plans indicate a depth or thickness of the course greater than 4", same shall be accomplished by constructing multiple lifts of approximately equal depth, each of which shall not exceed these maximum compacted depths. An additional tack coat is required between any of the multiple lifts, and applied at a rate specified. 3.02 PLACEMENT A. Place the asphaltic mixture on an approved base course with the previously specified spreading and finishing machine in such a manner that, when properly compacted, the finished course shall comply with the maximum thickness requirements, shall be smooth, of uniform density and meet the requirements of the typical cross sections and the surface test. During the placing and spreading of the asphaltic material. take care to prevent the spilling of the material onto adjacent pavement, gutters, or structures. B. In small areas, which are inaccessible to the spreading and finishing machine, hand spreading may be authorized by the Owner's Representative, provided an acceptable surface can be obtained. 3.03 COMPACTION A. Rolling with the 3-wheel and tandem rollers shall start longitudinally at the sides and proceed toward the center of the surface course. overlapping on successive trips by at least half the width of the rear wheels. Alternate trips of the roller shall be slightly different in length. Rolling with the pneumatic tire roller shall be done as directed by the Owner's Representative. Rolling shall continue until no further compression can be obtained and all roller marks are eliminated. The motion of the rollers shall be slow enough at all times to avoid displacement of the asphaltic surface material. If displacement should occur, correct the situation at once by the use of rakes and fresh asphaltic mixtures. The roller shall not be allowed to stand on the surface course when it has not been fully compacted and allowed to cool. To prevent adhesion of the surface to the roller. the wheels shall be kept thoroughly moistened with water, but an excess of water shall not be permitted. Rollers must be in good mechanical condition. Take the necessary precautions to prevent the dripping of gasoline, oil, grease, or other foreign matter on the surface course while the rollers are in motion or when standing. In areas where surface course cannot be compacted with the roller, hand tamps, lightly oiled, shall be used to secure the required compaction. Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete 4 B. With approval by the Owner's Representative, the vibratory steel wheel roller may be substituted for the 3-wheel roller and tandem roller. Each course, after final compaction, shall contain from 5 to 9 percent air voids determined by TXDOT Test Method TEX207-F. 3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL A.

DESIGN CRITERIA 1. The concrete shall be designed for a minimum compressive strength as indicated in paragraph 2.05E. Flexural strength is to be determined as a simple beam with center point loading (ASTM C-293). While concrete placing operations are in progress, beam and cylinder specimens, of such dimension and numbers as may be required, shall be made by the Owner's independent testing laboratory each day. Beams and cylinders shall be continuously cured in water until tested. 2. If the concrete fails to meet the strength requirements. as shown by the failure of any flexural or compressive test specimen on two (2) out of three (3) consecutive days' tests, increase the cement factor in the increments of 1/2 sack per cubic yard of concrete until the strength requirements are met and redesign the concrete mix. No increase in price or extra compensation shall be allowed the Contractor for such increase in the cement factor. Failure of all the test specimens. either flexural or compressive, on any day's run of concrete, may be cause for rejection of that particular section of pavement. In such event, submit a redesign of the concrete mix. 3. Redesign of the concrete mix by the Contractor, when required, shall include the required corrective measures as indicated by the deficiencies in the original design mix. Material samples shall be resubmitted for the laboratory check of the redesign mix. Sources of supply of materials may be changed, if desirable, at this time. B. CONCRETE MIX CONTROL Furnish, at the Contractor's own expense, continuous plant control of the concrete by securing the services of an independent local testing laboratory, sufficiently experienced. The following tests and inspections shall be required. 1. Check incoming aggregates, fine and coarse, for gradations, specific gravity, unit weight, abrasion wear, etc. 2. Determine moisture contents of the aggregates to adjust bin weights to comply with designs. 3. Make all concrete designs in accordance with the applicable specifications. 4. Check scales as needed for accuracy. 5. Help maintain proper slumps, as specified. 6. Send inspection reports for each day's operations. 7. Check fibrous reinforcement for conformance as specified. 8. If the characteristics of the aggregate furnished in the design are such that when mixed with the minimum allowable amount of cement and the maximum allowable amount of water, the slump and workability requirements are not met or if free water comes to the surface of the slab during finishing operations, as specified, add mineral filler or cement only to the limits provided in Paragraph 2.01 D, or may be required to redesign of the concrete mix. When the finishing machine has gone over an area twice and all surface Portland Cement Concrete voids are not filled, the workability shall be considered as unsatisfactory, terminate concreting operations and redesign the concrete mix. C. LABORATORY TESTING 1 Material samples submitted for approval shall be sufficiently large to permit the Owner's independent testing laboratory -to -laboratory batch the construction of test beams to check the adequacy of the design. When the design mix has been approved, there shall be no change or deviation from the proportions thereof or sources of supply except as hereinafter provided. No concrete shall be placed on the job site until the mix design has been approved by the Engineer in writing to the Contractor. 2. The concrete shall contain not less than five (5) sacks of cement per cubic yard. Total water shall not exceed seven (7) gallons per sack of cement. The mix shall be uniform and workable. The amount of coarse aggregate (dry -loose volume) shall not be more than 85% per cubic yard of concrete. 3. The net amount of water shall be the amount added at the mixer plus the free water in the aggregate or minus the amount of water needed to compensate for absorption by the aggregates. Free water or absorption determinations shall be based on a 30 minute absorption period. No water allowance shall be made for evaporation after batching. 4. When gauged by the standard slump test, the settlement of the concrete shall not be less than 3" nor more than 5" 1.03 SUBMITTALS A. Submittals shall be in accordance with Section 01300, SUBMITTALS. B. Within a period of not less than 10 days prior to the start of concreting operations, submit to the Engineer a design of the concrete mix he proposes to use together with samples of materials to be incorporated into the mix and a full description of the source of supply of each material component. The design of the concrete mix shall conform to the provisions and limitation requirements of these specifications. C.

Do not use calcium chloride, salt. or other materials containing antifreeze agents or chemical accelerators unless otherwise specified and approved in mix designs. Hot -Weather Placement: Complv wits, ACI 301 and as follows when hot -weather conditions exist: 1 Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature pelow at time of placement. Chilled mixing water or cnopped ice may be used to control Portland Cement Concrete 18 temperature, provided water equivalent of ice is calculated to total amount of mixing water. Using liquid nitrogen to cool concrete is Contractor's option. 2. Cover steel reinforcement with water -soaked burlap so steel temperature will not exceed ambient air temperature immediately before embedding in concrete. 3. Fog -spray forms, steel reinforcement, and subgrade just before placing concrete. Keep subgrade moisture uniform without standing water, soft spots. or dry areas. 3.08 FINISHING A. MACHINE FINISHING When the concrete has been deposited, level and strike off concrete to such elevation that when mechanically screeded and tamped the concrete is thoroughly compacted and finished to the required line, grade, and section with surface voids filled. Where bar mats or wire mesh reinforcing is specified, see Paragraph 3.04A and B for method of procedure. 1. After the finishing machine has processed the concrete surface, use the longitudinal float on the surface. Operate the float from parallel bridges or float carriages moving on the side forms. Operate the float transversely across the slab with a sawing motion, always maintaining the float parallel to the center line of the pavement, in such a manner as to remove variations in the surface Add concrete to fill minor depressions, if needed, during the longitudinal floating operation. The longitudinal float shall not be moved ahead more than 1/2 its length at each time. The longitudinal float must be maintained straight and free from warp at all times. Take care to preserve the true cross-section of the pavement. 2. While the concrete is still workable, test for irregularities with a 10' straightedge placed parallel to the center line of the pavement so as to bridge depressions and to touch high spots. Ordinates measured from the face of the straightedge to the surface of the pavement shall at no place exceed 1 /16" per foot from the nearest point of contact, and in no case shall the maximum ordinate to a 10' straightedge be greater than 1/8". Rework and refinish any surface not within the tolerance limits. 3. While the concrete is still workable, give the surface final belting in order to produce a uniform surface of gritty texture. This belting shall be of short, rapid, transverse strokes combined with a longitudinal sweeping motion. When the burlap drag is permitted in lieu of the belting, accomplish the burlap drag finish by drawing a wet drag over the surface in a longitudinal direction to produce a uniform surface of a gritty nature. 4. Carefully tool the edges of slabs and joints requiring edging with an edger, of the radius required by the plans, at the time the concrete begins to set and becomes non -workable. Leave work smooth and true to lines. B. HAND FINISHING 1. Hand finishing shall be permitted only in intersections, driveways, and parking areas inaccessible to a finishing machine. 2. When the hand method of striking off and consolidating is permitted, level and strike off the concrete, as soon as placed, and screed to such elevation above grade that when consolidated and finished the surface of the pavement is at the grade elevation shown on the plans. Vibrate the entire surface to consolidate the concrete so as to insure maximum compaction and a minimum of voids. For the strike off and consolidation, provide both a strike template and tamping template on the work. Once in operation, move the strike template forward with a combined longitudinal and transverse motion and manipulate so that neither end of the template is raised from the forms during the striking off process. Keep a slight excess of material in front of the cutting edge at all times. 3. The longitudinal floating, straight edging, belting, and joint finishing shall be as specified above. Portland Cement Concrete 19 3.09 CURING A. The curing of concrete pavement shall be thorough and continuous throughout the entire curing period. Failure to provide proper curing as specified herein shall be considered sufficient cause for immediate suspension of the paving operations. The curing method specified herein does not preclude the use of any of the other commonly used methods of curing, and the Engineer may approve them if so requested by the Contractor. If any selected method of curing does not afford the desired results, the Engineer shall have the right to order that another method of curing be instituted. Immediately after the finishing of the surface, cover the pavement with a continuous. uniform, water -impermeable coating. The impermeable coating shall be of the type specified in Paragraph 2.04-D. After removal of the side forms, the sides of the slab shall receive a like coating before earth is banked against them. Apply the solution under pressure with a spray nozzle in such a manner as to cover the entire surfaces thoroughly and completely with a uniform film. B. The rate of application shall be such as to ensure complete coverage and shall not exceed 200 square feet per gallon of curing compound when applied mechanically and 150 square feet per gallon of curing compound when applied by hand sprayers. When thoroughly dry, it shall provide a continuous and flexible membrane, free from cracks or pinholes, and shall not disintegrate, check, peel, or crack during the curing period. If for any reason the seal is broken during the curing period, immediately repair the seal with additional sealing solution. C.

B Testing Services: Testing of composite samples of fresh concrete obtained according to ASTM C 172 shall be performed according to the following requirements. Testing Frequency. Obtain at least " composite sample for each [ ] [ -c i or fraction thereof of eacr, concrete nix placed each day. a When frequency of testing wit provide fewer than five compressive -strength tests for each concrete mixture. testing shah be conducted from at least five randomil, selected batches or from each patch. if fewer than five are used 2 Slump ASTM C 143/C 143M one test at oomt of placement for each composite sample. Du,, not less than one test for eacr days Jour of each concrete m!x Perform additional tests when concrete consistency appears to change- 3 Air Content. ASTM C 231, pressure method; one test `or each composite sample out not less than one test for each days pour of each concrete mix. 4 Concrete Temperature. ASTM C 064 one test hourly wnen air temperature is - :ec - and beiow and when KC and above. and one test for each composite sample 5 Compression Test Specimens ASTM C 31/C 31M: cast and laboratory cure one set of three standard cylinder specimens for each composite sample. 6_ Compressive -Strength Tests .ASTM C 39(C 39M: test - specimen at 7 days and 2 specimens at 28 days. a. A compressive -strength test snail be the average compressive strength from specimens obtained from same composite sample and tested at 28 days. Strength of each concrete mix will be satisfactory if average of any 3 consecutive compressive -strength tests equals or exceeds specified compressive strength anc no Portland Cement Concrete 22 compressive -strength test value falls oelow specified compressive strength by more than 50'. Test results shall be reported it wrnbng to Engineer. concrete manufacturer and Contractor within 48 hours of testing. Reports or compressive-strengm tests shall contain Project identification name and number Cate of concrete placement. name of concrete testing and inspecting agency, location of concrete batcr in Work, design compressive strength at 28 days, concrete mixture proportions anc m, aterials. compressive breaK:ng strength, and type of break Tor both 7- and 28-day tests E Nondestructive Testing: impact nam-ner sonoscope, or otner nondestructive device maybe permitted by Engineer but will not be _isec as sole basis for approval or rejection of concrete. F Additional Tests: Testing and inspecting agency shall maKe additional tests of concrete when test results indicate that slump, air entrainment, compressive strengths, or other requirements have not been met, as directed by Engineer G Remove and replace concrete pavement where test results indicate that it does not comply with specified requirements. Additional testing and inspecting. at : ontractor's expense, vill be performed to determine compliance of replaced or additional worK wittt specified requirements 3 17 REPAIRS AND PROTECTION 4. Remove and replace concrete pavement that is broken. damaged. or defective or that does not comply with requirements in this Section B Drill test cores, where directed by Engineer .vhen necessary to determine magnitude of cracks or defective areas. Fill drillec core holes in satisfactory pavement areas with Portland cement concrete bonded to paveme^t with epoxy adhesive. Protect concrete from damage. Exclude traffic from pavement for at least 14 days after placement When construction traffic is permitted, maintain pavement as clean as possible by removing surface stains and soillage of materials as they occur Maintain concrete pavement free of stains.-,scoloration, cor,. anc other foreign material Sweep concrete pavement not more man two days before date scheduled for Substantial Completion inspections. 318 SCHEDULES See Table i for silicone sealant requirements Portland Cement Concrete 23 TABLE SILICONE SEALANT REQUIREMENTS ITEM REQUIREMENT Flow 0.3" maximum Extrusion, rate 175-350 grams; minute Tack free time 20-90 minutes @ 7'°F ±1 Specific Gravity 11.010 - - .515 Durometer hardness. i 10-25 (0°F?
