which may be encountered in the course of construction.

bidders will be considered sufficient cause for the rejection of

of the award, or to execute the contract within ten (10) days,
as specified, shall be just cause for the annulment of the award,
and it shall be understood by the bidder that in the event of the
annulment of the award, the amount of the guaranty deposited
with the proposal shall be retained by the Owner, not as a
penalty, but as Liquidated Damages.

matters at issue and shall define the respective rights of the
various interest involved, in order to secure the completion of
all parts of the work in general harmony, and with satisfactory
results, and his decisions shall be final and binding on all
parties concerned and shall not in any way be a cause for claim
for extra compensation by any of the parties.

struction conditions may require that minor changes be made in
location and installation of the work and equipment to be fur-
nished and other work to be performed hereunder and the Contrac-
tor when ordered by the Engineer shall make such adjustments and
changes in said locations and work as may be necessary without
additional charge, provided such adjustments and changes do not
alter the character, quantity or cost of work as a whole and
provided further the plans and specifications shm'iing such adjust-

The O'i'.Jner, to the extent authorized by law, may order extra work
or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from the work
without invalidating the contract, and the contract sum will be
adjusted accordingly. No such order for extra work or change shall
be valid Q~less authorized by official action of the Owner, and
communicated to the Contractor in writing. All such work shall be
executed under the conditions of the original contract, except

dueT notice the Ovmer may make payment for said work ona basis of
a rieasonable estimate of the value of the work performed.
20. CLAIMS AND PROTESTS
If the Contractor claims that a.ny instructions by drmvings or
otherwise to be unfair or involve extra cost under this contract
for which he would claim extra compensation, he shall give the
Engineer written notice thereof within a reasonable time after
the receipt of such instructions, and in any event before pro-

made.
21. SUPERINTENDENCE AIm SUPERVISION
The Contractor shall keep on his work during its progress a compe-
tent superintendent and any necessary assistants, all satisfactory
to the Engineer. The superintendent shall not be ,changed except
with the consent of the Engineer Qnless the superintendent proves
unsatisfactory to the Contractor and ceases to be in his employ.
The superintendent shall represent the Contractor in his absence,
and all directions given to him shall be as binding as if given to
the Contractor. Important directions shall be confirmed in writ-
ing to the Contractor. Other directions shall be so confirmed on
written request in each case.
- _10 - GC
The Contractor shall give efficient supervision to the work, using
his best skill and attention, shall carefully study and compare all
dravdngs , specifications and other instructions and shall at once
report to the Engineer any error, inconsistency, or omission which
he may discover, but he shall not be held responsible for their
existence or discovery.
The Contractor will be supplied, by the Engineer, copies of the
Plans and Specifications. He shall have said Plans and Specifica-
tions available on the work, at all times, during the prosecution
of the \'lork. He shall give the work his constant attention to
facilitate the progress thereof and shall cooperate with the
Engineer in setting and preserving stakes, bench marks, etc., and
in all other things that are necessary for satisfactory completion
of the work contemplated.
22. ENGINEER'S STATUS
The Engineer shall have general supervision and direction of the
work. He is the agent of the Owner only to the extent provided in
the contract documents and as authorized by law. He has authority
to stop the work whenever such stoppage may be necessary to insure
proper execution of the contract. He is recognized by both parties
to the contract as the interpreter of the contract documents. He
shall, within a reasonable time, make decisions on all claims of
the Owner, or the Contractor, on all matters relating to the
execution and progress of the work, or the interpretation of the
contract docu..ments. The Engineer shall decide any and all questions
as -to quality of material furnished for the \'lork, and shall decide
all questions regarding the interpretations of specifications or
plans relating to the work, and shall determine the amount and
quantity of the several kinds of work performed, ~~d materials
furnished, which are to be paid for under the contract. Any work
not specifically specified on the plans, but which may be fairly
implied, or understood, as included in the contract, shall be done
by the Contractor without extra charge, and the Engineer shall be
permitted to make such corrections and interpretations as may be
deemed necessary for the fulfillment to the extent of the plans
and specifications. In the case of any discrepancy occuring
between the plans and specifications, the decision of the Engi-
neer is final.
23. INSPECTION OF WORK
The Engineer and his representatives shall at all times have access
to the work wherever it is in preparation or progress, and the
Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such access and for
inspection.
An inspector may be stationed on the work to report to the Engi-
neer as to the progress of the work and the m~~ner in which it is
performed, also to report when it appears that the materials fur-
nished, or the work performed by the Contractor fail to fulfill
the requirements of the contract and to call to the attention of
- 11 - GC
the Contractor any such failure or infringement. In case of any
dispute arising between the Contractor and the Inspector as to
the material furnished, or the manner of performing the work,
the Inspector shall have the authority to reject materials or
suspend the work until such matter can be referred to, and
decided by the Engineer. No advice which the Inspector may
give the Contractor shall be construed as binding upon the Owner
nor \'Jill such advice release the Contractor from the fulfillment
of the terms of the contract.
If the specifications, the Engineer's instructions, laws, ordi-
nances, or any public authority require any work to be specially
tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Engineer timely
notice of its readiness for the.inspection, and if the inspection
is by another authority than the Engineer, of the date fixed for
such inspection. Inspections by the Engineer shall be promptly
made ~nd where practicable at the source of supply. If any.work
shall be covered up without approval or consent of the Engineer,
it must, if required by the Engineer, be uncovered for examina-
tion at the Contractor's expense.
Re-examination of questioned work may be ordered by the Engineer,
and if so ordered, the \',wrk must be uncovered by the Contractor.
If such vwrk be found in accordance with the contract documents,
the OWner shall pay the cost of re-ex~rnination and replacement.
If such work be found not in accordance with the contrac.t docu-
ments, the Contractor shall pay such cost unless he shall.show
that the defect in the \'Jork VIas caused by another Contractor, in
which event the OWner shall pay the cost.
24. DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME
If the Contractor be delayed at any time in the progress of the
\'wrk by any act or neglect of the Q\-'mer or the Engineer or any
employee of either, or by any other Contractor employed by the
OVmer, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strike, fire
Qnusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties or other
causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by any cause which
the Engineer shall decide to justify the delay, then the time
of completion shall be extended for such reasonable time as the
Oi-'Jner may decide, and the decision of the Owner shall be binding
on both parties and shall not be arbitrary or Qnreasonable.
No such extension shall be made for delay unless claim therefore
is made in writing to the Engineer within seven (7) days after
the period of delay shall have cow~enced. The Contractor shall
not be entitled to extension of time for each one of several
causes of delay operative concurrently, but only for the actual
period of delay, nor shall the Contractor be entitled to an
extension for causes of delay if one of such causes for which
extension is authorized above. The Contractor shall have no
claim for damages against the Owner for delay in performance of
the contract due to any act or omission of the Oi-'Jners or any of
its representatives, and his sole remedy on account thereof shall
- 12 - GC
be his right to apply to the Engineer for extension of time as
provided herein.
25. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAU1ENT
The Contractor shall promptly remove from the premises all mate-
rials condemned by the Engineer as failing to conform to the
contract, whether incorporated in the work or not and the Contrac-
tor shall promptly replace and re-execute his own work in accord-
ance with the contract documents and without expense to the ~~ner
and shall bear the expense of making good all work of the other
Contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal or replacement.
All materials not conforming to the requirements of these specifi-
cations shall be considered as defective and all such materials,
whether in place or not, will be rejected and shall be removed
immedia tely from the right-of-i'JaY, unles s othervlise permitted.
No material which has been rejected, the defects of which have
been corrected or removed, shall be used until approval has been
given.
If the Contractor does not remove such condewned work and materials
within a reasonable time fixed by written notice, the <ftmer may
remove them ~~d may store the material at the expense of the
Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the expense of such
removal within ten (10) days thereafter, the Owner may upon ten
(10) days written notice sell such materials at auction or at
private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof,
after deducting all the costs and expenses that should have been
borne by the Contractor.
26. CORRECTION OF \'lORK AFTER FI:NAL PAYi\1ENT
Neither the final certificate, nor payment, nor any provision of
the contract docl~ents, shall relieve the Contractor of respon-
sibility for faulty material or vlOrkmanship, and unless otherwise
specified he shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for ~DY
damage to other work resulting therefrom which shall appear within
a period of one year from the date of final approval and acceptance
by the Ovmer. ~le ~lner shall give notice of observed defects with
reasonable promptness. All questions arising under this article
shall be decided by the Engineer.
27. FAILURE TO COMPLETE WORK ON TI~m
The Contractor guarantees that he can and will complete the work
within the time limit stated in the Agreement, or 'Y'li thin the
time as extended as provided elsewhere in the contract docw~ents.
Inasmuch as the damage and loss to the Owner which will result
from the failure of the Contractor to complete the work within
the stipulated time, will be most difficult or impossible of
accurate assessment, the damage to the Owner for such delay and
failure on the part of the Contractor shall be liquidated at a
daily rate in an amount as specified in the Special Provisions for
each calendar day, Sundays and holidays included, by which the
Contractor shall fail to complete the work or any part thereof in
- 13 - GC
accordance with the provisions hereof~ and such liquidated damages
shall not be considered as a penalty. The ~~ner will deduct and
retain out of any money due or become due hereunder the amoQnt of
liquidated damages~ and in case those amounts are less than the
amount of liquidated damages the Contractor shall be liable to pay
the difference upon demand.
Permi tting the Contractor to continue and finish the 'Y'lork or any
part of it after the time fixed for its completion, or after.. the
date to which the time for completion may have been extended,
shall in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the ~~ner of
any of its rights under the contract.
Neither by the taking over of the work by the O'wner, nor by the
ter.mination of the contract, shall the O'wner forfeit the right
to recover liquidated damages from the Contractor or his Surety
for failure to complete the contract.
28. THE RIGHT O'F THE OVJNER TO' DO' THE "TORI\:
If the Contractor should neglect to prosecute the work properly,
or fail to perform any provision of the contract, the O'wnerafter
three (3) day's written notice to the Contractor, may without
prejudice to any other remedy the ONner may have, make good such
deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof from the payment
then or thereafter due the Contractor, provided, however, ..that
the Engineer shall approve both such action and the amount charged
to the Contractor.
29. RIGHT O'F THE O'WNER TO' DECLARE CO'NTR4CTO'R IN DEFAULT
In addition to those instances specifically referred to in other
articles herein, the O'wner shall have the right to declare the
Contractor in default of the whole or any part of the work if:
1) The Contractor becomes insolvent; or if
2) The Contractor makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors pursuant to the statutes of the State of
Minnesota; or if
3) A voluntary or involQntary petitiori in bankruptcy be filed
by or against the Contractor; or if
4) The Contractor fails to commence work when notified to do
so by the Engineers; or if
5) The Contractor shall abandon the work; or if
6) The Contractor shall refuse to proceed with the work when
and as directed by the Engineer; or if
7) The Contractor shall without just cause reduce his working
force to a number \\!hich, if maintained, would be insufficient,
in the opinion of the Engineer, to complete the work in accord-
ance 'VJi th the approved Progress Schedule ~ and shall fail or
- 14 .. GC
refuse sufficiently to increase such working force when
ordered to do so by the ~1gineer; or if
8) The Contractor shall sublet, assign, transfer, conveyor
otherwise dispose of his contract other than as herein
specified; or if
9) A receiver or receivers are appointed to take charge of the
Contractor's property or affairs; or if
10) The Engineer shall be of the opinion that the Contractor is
or has been wilfully or in bad faith violating any of the
provisions of this contract; or if
11) The Engineer shall be of the opinion that the Contractor is
or has been unnecessarily or unreasonably or wilfully delay-
ing the performance and completion of the work, or the award
of necessary sub-contracts, or the placing of necessary
material and equipment orders; or if
~) The Engineer shall be of the opinion that the work cannot
be completed within the time herein provided therefore or
within the time to which such completion may have been
extended; provided, however, that the impossibility of
timely completion is in the Engineer's opinion, attributable
to conditions within the Contractors' control; or if
13) The Engineer shall be of the opinion that the Contractor is
not or has not been executing the contract in good faith
and in accordance with its terms; or if
14) The work is not completed within the time herein provided

heard, on two days' notice at which hearing the Contractor
may have a stenographer present; provided, however, that a
copy of such stenographic notes, if any, shall be furnished
to the Owner.
30. EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO DECT,~~E IN DEFAULT
The right to declare in default for ~DY of the grounds specified
or referred to in Article 29 hereof, shall be exercised by send-
ing the Contractor a notice, signed by the Engineer, setting
forth the ground or grolli~ds upon which such default is declared.
31. QUITTING THE SITE
Upon receipt of such notice the Contractor shall immediately dis-
continue all further operation under this contract and shall
- 15 - GC
immediately quit the site~ leaving untouched all plant materials~
equipment~ tools and supplies then on the site.
32. COMPLETION OF ~tlE WORK AFTER DEFAULT
The OWner~ after declaring the Contractor in default, may then
have the work completed by such means and in such manner, by
contract with or without public letting, or otherwise, as it may
deem advisable, utilizing for such purpose such of the Contrac-
tor's plant, materials, equipment, tools and supplies remaining on
the site, and also such sub-contractors as it may deem advisable.
After such completion, the Rngineer shall make a certificate stat-
ing the expense incurred in such completion, which shall. include
the cost of reletting and also the total amount of liquidated
damages (at the rate provided for in the Specifications) from
the date when the work should have been completed by the Contrac-
tor in accordance with the terms hereof to the date of actual
completion of the work. Such certificate shall be binding and
conclusive upon the Contractor, his Sureties, and any person
claiming under the Contractor, as to the amount thereof.
The expense of such completion, as so certified by the Engineer
shall be charged against and deducted out of such monies as would
have been payable to the Contractor, if he had completed the
work; the balance of such monies, if any, subject to the..other
provisions of this contract, to be paid to the Contractor without
interest after such completion. Should the expense of such com-
pletion, so certified by the Engineer, exceed the total>sum which
would have been payable under this contract if the same had been
completed by the Contractor, any such excess shall be paid by
the Contractor to the (ftmer upon demand.
33. PARTIAL DEFAULT
In case the Owner shall declare the Contractor in default as to
a part of the work only~ the Contractor shall discontinue such
part, shall continue performing the remainder of the work in
strict conformity with the terms of the contract, and shall in
no way hinder or interfere with any other Contractors or persons
whom the (ftJner may engage to complete the work as to which the
Contractor was declared in default.
The provisions of the clauses herein relating to declaring the
Contractor in default as to the entire work shall be equally
applicable to a declaration of partial default, except that the
Owner shall be entitled to utilize for completion of the part
of the work as to which the Contractor was declared in default
only such plant, materials, equipment, tools and supplies as
had been previously used by the Contractor on such part.
34. SCOPE OF PA~~ENT
The Contractor shall receive and accept'the compensation as
herein provided, in full payment for furnishing all materials,
labor, tools, equipment, royalties, fees, insurance, permits,
- 16 - GC
bonds, etc., and for performing all work contemplated and
embraced under the Contract, also for all loss or damage aris-
ing out of the nature of the work, or from the action of the
elements, until its final acceptance by the OWner, and for all
risks connected with the prosecution of the work, also for all
expenses incurred by, or in consequence of, the suspension or
discontinuance of said prosecution of the work as herein speci-
fied and for completing all of the work embraced in the Contract.
The Contractor shall under this contract price furnish and pay
for all material and incidental work, furnish all accessories,
and do everything which may be necessary to carry out the contract
in good faith, which contemplates everything completed in good
working order, of good material ,with accurate worlunanship.
35. APPLICATION FOR PAYMENTS
The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer an application for
each payment verified as required by law for claims against the
~1ner, and, if required, receipts or other vouchers showing his
payments for materials and labor, including payments to sub-
contractors. Application for progress payments authorized by
the contract shall be submitted at least twenty (20) days before
each payment falls due and, if required, the Contractor shall
before the first application, submit to the Engineer a schedule
of values of the various parts of work, including the quantities
aggregating the total sum of the contract divided so as to
facilitate payments to sub-contractors, made out in such form,
and supported by such evidence as to its correctness as the
K~gineer may direct. In applying for pa~~ents the Contractor
shall submit a statement based upon this schedule, supported by
such evidence as the Engineer may direct, showing his right to
payment claimed. Payment claimed on account of materials
delivered and suitably stored at the site, but not incorporated
in the work, shall, if required by the Engineer, be conditioned
upon submission by the Contractor of bills of sale, or such
procedure as will establish the title of the ~vner to such
material, or otherwise adequately protect the interest of the
Owner. The Engineer will examine claims for payment promptly,
and his determination of the amo~~t due on progress pa~~ent
will be final.
36. PARTIAL PAYMENTS
Unless payments are withheld by the Owner for reasons hereinbe-
fore stated, payment will be made at least once a month on a
basis of ninety (90%) percent of the work done, provided the work
is progressing to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Monthly estimates may include the value of acceptable materials
required in the construction, which have been delivered on the
site of the work or adjacent railway siding, and for i'Jhich
acceptable provisions have been made for their preservation
and storage. From the total value of the materials so reported,
ten (10%) percent will be retained. Such material, when so paid
- 17 - GC
for by the ~vner, shall become the property of the (WIner, and in
the .event of the default on the part of the Contractor, the Owner
may use or cause to be used such materials in the construction of
the \'wrk provided for in the contract. The amount thus paid by
the ~1ner for materials shall go to reduce estimates due the
Contractor as the material is used in the 'Work.
Vouchers will be passed for payment by the (WIner not later than
the tenth (loth) of the following month, unless delayed by require-
ments for examination or auditing by other authorities.
37. CERTIFICATES OF PATI4ENT
If the Contractor has made application as above, the Engineer
shall, not later than the date ~hen each payment falls due, issue
to the Contractor a certificate for such amount as he decides to
be properly due.
No certificate issued nor payment made to the Contractor, not
partial, or entire, use, or occupancy of the work by the ~lner,
shall be acceptance of the work or materials not in accordance
with this contract.
38. PAY14ENTS ~HTHHELD
The Owner may withhold, in addition to retained percentages, from
payment to the Contractor such an amount or ~mounts as may be
necessary to cover:
1) Defective work not remedied.
2) Claims for labor or materials furnished the Contractor or
sub-contractor, or reasonable evidence indicating probable
filing of such claims.
3) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to sub-
contractors or for material or labor.
4) A reasonable doubt that the contract can be completed for
the balance then unpaid.
5) Evidence of damage alleged to be caused by the Contractor to
other persons or property in connection with the work under
the contract for which claim has been or will be asserted
against the Contractor, the ~1ner or the Engineer.
The awner may disburse and shall have the right to act as agent
for the Contractor in disbursing such funds as have been with-
held pursuant to this paragraph to the party or parties who
are entitled to payment therefrom, but the Owner assumes no
obligation to make such disbursement. The Owner will render
to the Contractor a proper accounting of all such funds dis-
bursed.
39. FINAL INSPECTION
Tne RDgineer will make final inspection of all work included in
- 18 - GC
the Contract or any portion thereof, as soon as practicable after
notification by the Contractor that such work is nearing comple-
tion. If such work is not acceptable to the Engineer at the
time of his inspection, he will advise the Contractor in writing
as to the particular defects to be remedied before such work can
be accepted. If, within a period of ten (10) days after such
notification, the Contractor has not taken steps to speedily
complete the work as directed, the Engineer may, without further
notice and without in any way impairing the contract, make such
other arrangements as he may deem necessary to have such work
completed in a satisfactory manner. The cost of so completing
such work shall be deducted from any monies due, or "Vlhich may
become due the Contractor on his contract.
40. FINAL PAYMENT
Upon completion of the vvork and its acceptance by the Engineer,
the Engineer will prepare a final estimate containing complete
quantities of each and every item of work performed by the
Contractor, and the value thereof, upon acceptance of said final
estimate by the Contractor, the Engineer will certify in writing
to the Owner as to the completion and his acceptance of the
work, and to the entire amount and value of each and every item
of work performed in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Unless as herein provided, the Owner will accept the Certificate
and Final Estimate for final payment and will notify the Contrac-
tor and his Surety or Sureties of the acceptance of the work.
T0e action of the OvJner and the Engineer, by which the Contrac-
tor is to be bOQnd and the contract concluded according to the
terms thereof, shall be evidenced by the aforesaid Certificate
and Final Payment. All prior certificates or estimates upon
which payments may have been made are merely partial estimates
and subject to correction in the final payment.
Before final payment is made for the vlOrk on this Project, the
Contractor must make a satisfactory showing that he has com-
plied with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Annotated 290.92
requiring the withholding of state income tax for wages paid
employees on this Project. Receipt by the Clerk of the ~wner
of a Certificate of Compliance from the Comrnissioner of Taxa-
tion will satisfy this requirement. The Contractor is advised
that before such certificate can be issued, he must first place
on file with the Co~nissioner of Taxation an affidavit that he

Granular material, or other suitable material as determined by
the Engineer, free from rocks and boulders, shall be deposited
in the trench simultaneously on both sides of the pipe for the
full width of the trench to a height at least six (6) inches
above the top of the pipe, shovel placed and hand tamped to
fill completely all spaces under and adjacent to the Pipe. In
the event that natural, suitable, gransular material is not
encountered during the normal excavation of the sewer trench,
or when the material encountered is detennined unsuitable by
the Engineer, for backfilling around the pipe as required above;
the Contractor shall provide and place such approved material.
The Contractor shall furnish approved material from surplus
material obtainable from other excavation on the project, within
a haul distance of two (2) miles one way, at no additional com-
pensation. If suitable material is not available as stated
above, the contractor shall purchase backfill material for
backfilling around the pipe.
The Contractor shall be uaid for only that backfill material
required for filling or backfilling as he may be directed to
purchase and place by the Engineer. All quantities of such
material used shall be verified by the Engineer.
Succeeding layers of backfill may contain coarse materials, but
shall be free from pieces of rock, frozen material, concrete !J
roots, stumps, tin cans, rubbish and other similar articles
whose presence in the backfill, in the opinion of the Engineer,
would cause excessive settlement of the trench, or damage to
the pipe.
\iherever select material, that exists in place in the upper four
(4) feet of the finished grade of the paved or traveled portions
of the street or roadway, is removed by the trench excavation,
the Contractor shall replace said material (or material of equal
quality) as backfill in the upper four (4) feet of the finished
grade. \'mere select material does not exist in place as des-
cribed above, the Contractor shall provide and place sufficient
select backfill to stabilize the finisr-;ed grade from surplus
material obtainable from other excavatio~-l on the nroject, '\:'JitL:Ln
a haul distance of two (2) miles one way at no additional com-
pensation.
Backfilling shall be done in lifts of uniform layers not to ex-
ceed the depth shown in the compaction cfJart and each lift shall
be completely compacted over the full width of the excavated
area. Compacting shall continue until no more settlement occurs.
Three feet of material over the top of tte pipe shall be re-
quired before a vibratory or sheepsfoot roller may be used.

the Contractor1s operation, the Contractor shall restore, replace
or rebu:i.ld all such surfaces to a condition at least equal to
its condition at time of removal. Blading and maintaining of
streets and roadvfays are covered by Article 13, 'IBackfilling
and Grading 11 of these Standard Specificat :Lons.
If the ali~Lment of the sewer and its appurtenances, as shown 0:::1
the Plans, is alongside or parallel to a paved roadway, but the
proximity of such alignment to the paving does not warrant
damage or removal of such paving, the Contractor shall replace O~
repair the paving \'1hich he has removed or damaged at no addi t im:.-
al compensation. Hhen the alignment of the sevier and its appur-
tenances lies within a paved roadway, the Contractor shall re-

tures or property caused by settlement, water or earth pressures,
slides, caves or other causes due to failure or lack of sheet-
ing and bracing or improper bracing or through negligence or
fault of the Contractor in any manner shall be repaired by the
Contractor without delay at his expense.
~Vhere the trench is not located near existing utilities, buildings
or other structures and where water and other conditions permit,
-12- SC-W
the Contractor may with the approval of the Engineer, omit sheet-
ing and bracing of the excavation. In this event, he shall ex-
cavate a space of sufficient size to provide adequate space for
the construction work so as to prevent sliding or caving of the
banks into the area within the lines of structures.
The Contractor shall leave in place to be imbedded in the backfill
of the trench all sheeting and bracing etc., which the Engineer
may direct in writing to be left in place for which the Contrac-
tor shall be paid.

quired for filling or backfilling as he may be directed to pur-
chase and place by the Engineer. All quantities of such material
used shall be verified by the Engineer.
Succeeding layers of backfill may contain coarse materials, but
shall be free from pieces of rock, frozen material, concrete,
roots, stumps, tin cans, rubbish and other similar articles
whose presence in the backfill, in the opinion of the Engineer,
would cause excessive settlement of the trench, or damage to
the pipe.
vmerever select material, that exists in place in the upper four
(4) feet of the finished grade of the paved or traveled portions
of the street or roadway, is removed by the trench excavation,
the Contractor shall replace said material (or material of equal
quality) as backfill in the upper four (4) feet of the finished
grade. ~fuere select material does not exist in place as des-
cribed above, the Contractor shall provide and place sufficient
select backfill to stabilize the finished grade from surplus
material obtainable from other excavation on the project, within

has been added. The 1'mter (containing chlorine) shall be left
in the pipe, being disinfected, for a minimum of twenty-four
(24) hours.
An electrical conductivity test shall be in accordance with
the follovling procecure.
A. Testing Procedure
ao The system (pipeline and hydrants) shall be testad for
electrical continuity and current capacity. The electrical
test shall be made after the hydrostatic pressure':-test and
while the line is at normal operating pressure. Backfilling
shall have been completed. The line may be tested in sec-
tions of convenient length as approved by the Engineer.
b. Direct current of 350 amperes, +10%, shall be passed through
the pipe line for 5 minutes. Current flow through the
pipe shall be measured continuously on a suitable aTILl11ete r
and shall remain steady without interruption or excessive
fluctuation throughout the 5 minute test period.
c. Insufficient current or intermittent current or arcing,
indicated by large fluctuation of the ammeter needle,
shall be evidence of defective electrical contact in
the pipe line. The cause shall be isolated and corrected.
Thereafter, the section in which the defective test
occurred shall be retested as a unit and shall meet the
requirements.
-23- SC-vl
B. Notes on Test Procedure
a. Sources of D. C. current for these tests may be mdor
generators, batteries, arc welding machines, etc. D. C.
arc welding machines will probably be the usual source.
These machines are available in adequate capacity for
these tests and are equipped with controls for regulating
the current output.
b. Cables from the power source to the section of the system
under test should be of sufficient size to carry the test
current without overheating or excessive voltage drop.
Usuable sizes will probably be in the range of 2/0 to
~ /0 A. vI . G.
c. Connections for the test shall be made at hydrants. The
hydrants shall be in the open position with the caps on
during the test. The cable shall be clamped to the top
operating nut. Note: After the test the hydrant shall
be shut off and a cap loosened to allow hydrant drainage.
Tighten cap after drainage.
d. A hook-on type D.C. amrneter placed on one of the cables
leading to the hydrant is a convenient method of measuring
cu rrent.
eo In using arc welding machines, the current control should
be set at minimum before starting. After starting the
machine, advance the control until the current indicated
on the aw~eter is at the desired test value. Caution:
In case of open circuits at joints or connections, the
voltage across the defective joint or connection will be
in the order of 50-100 volts.
19. RESTOR4TION OF GROUND A1ID ROAD SURFACES
vfuerever the surface of the ground is removed or disturbed by
the Contractor's operation the Contractor shall restore, replace
or rebuild all such surfaces to a condition at least equal to
its condition at time of removal. Blading and maintaining of
streets and roadways are covered hereinbefore in these provisions.
If the alignment of the water main and its appurtenances, as
shovm on the plans, is alongside or parallel to a paved roadway,
but the proximity of such alignnlent to the paving does not
warrant any damage or removal of such paving, the Contractor
shall replace or repair the paving which he has removed or
damaged at no additional compensation.
