22. ENGINEER'S STATUS
The Engineer shall have general supervision and direction of
the work. He is the agent of the Ovmer only to the extent
provided in the contract documents and as authorized by la'\v.
He has authority to stop the work whenever such stoppage may
be necessary to insure proper execution of the contract. He
-12- GC
is recognized by both parties to the contract as the inter-
preter of the contract documents. He shall, within a reason-
able time, make decisions on all claims of the Owner, or the
Contractor, on all matters relatina to the execution and prog-
..J
ress of the ">'lork, or the interpretation of the contract doc-
uments. The Engineer shall decide any and all questions as
to quality of material furnished for the work, and shall decide
all questions regarding the interpretations of specifications
or plans relating to the vlOrk, and shall determine the amount
and quantity of the several kinds of work performed, and mat-
erials 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 con-
tract, 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 ful-
fillment to the extent of the plans and specifications. In
the case of any discrepancy occuring behleen the plans and
specifications, the decision of the Engineer is final.
23. INSPECTION OF \'JOPJ{
'I'he Eng ineer and his representatives shall at all times have
access to the ">'lork ">'lherever it is in preparation or progress,
and the Con"crac tor shall provide proper facilities for such
access and for inspection.
An inspector may be stationed on the \'lOrk to report to the
Enginee as to the progress of the work and the manner in
which it is performed, also to report \'lhen it appears that
the rna terials furnished, or the work, perforrr,ed by the Contrac-
tor fail to fulfill the requirements of the contract and to
call to the attention of 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 \vhich the Inspector may give the Contractor shall be
construed as binding upon the Owner nor will such advice
release the Contractor from the fulfillment of the terms of
the contract.
If the specifications, the Engineer's instructions, la\'lS, ord-
inances, or any public authority require any work to be spec-
ially. tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Engi-
neer timely notice of its readiness for the inspection, and if
-13- GC
the inspection is by another authority than the Engineer, of the
date fixed for such inspection. Inspections by the Engineer
shall be promptly made and 't.'lhere practicable at the sources of
supply. If any ~tlOrk shall be covered up \vi thou t approval or
consent of the Engineer, it must, if required by the Engineer,
be uncovered for examination at the Contractor1s expense.
Re-examination of questioned work may be ordered by the Eng-
ineer, and if so ordered, the work must be uncovered by the
Contractor. If such work be found in accordance with the con-
tract documents, the Owner shall pay the cost of re-examin-
ation and replacement. If such work be found not in accord-
ance \vi th the contract documents, the Contractor shall pay
such cost unless he shall shO\v that the defect in the \'lOrk \.;ras
caused by another Contractor, in 'tdhich event the Oi'mer shall
pay the cost.
24. DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TH'iE
If the Contractor be delayed at any time in the progress of the
\vork by an act or neglect of the Oi,-mer or the Engineer or any
employee of either, or by any other Contractor employed by the
Ovlner I or by changes ordered in the 'dork, or by strike, fire
unusual 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 O'i'iner may decide, and the decision of the Owner shall be
binding on both parties and shall not be arbitrary or unreason-
able. No such extension shall be made for delay unless claim
therefore is rnade in writing' to the Engineer "-Ii thin seven (7)
days after the period of delay shall have com..rnenced. The Con-
tractor shall not be entitled to extension of time for each one
of several causes of delay operative concurrently I 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 lS 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 Owners or any
of its representatives, and his sole remedy on account thereof
shall be his right to apply to the Engineer for extension of
time as provided herein.
25. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT
The Contractor shall promptly remove from the premises all mat-
erials condemned by the Engineer as failing to conform to the
contract, whether incorporated in the work or not and the Con-
tractor shall promptly replace and re-execute his own work in
-14- GC
accordance vii th the contract documents and without expense to
the Oviller and shall bear the expense of making good all ,-lOrk of
the other Contractors destroyed or da~maged by such removal or
replacement.
All materials not conforming to the requirements of these spec-
ifications shall be considered as defective and all such mater-
ials, Iv-hether in place or not, will be rejected and shall be
removed irmnedia tely from the righ t-of--way, unless otherwise
"J- ='1 No material which has been rejected, the defects
permlt:L-ea. of ,'lhich have been corrected or removed, shall be used until
approval ha.s been given.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned "lOrk and mat-
er ials ,'li thin a reasonable tirCle fixed by written notice, the
O,..mer may remove them and 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 Olvner may
upon ten (10) days \'lri tten no~cice sell such materials at auction
or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds there-
of; after deducting all t.he cos ts and expenses that should have
been borne by the Contractor.
26c CORlrr:CTIOH OF i'iORK 2\FTER FINl~L PJ-I.YHENT
Nei t11er the fi11al certificate, nor r)a~Tmen t 1 nor any provision
of contract documents, shall relieve the Contractor of
respo11sibili t:{ for faulty material or workmanship, and unless
otl1er\-lise Sl)ecified he shall remedy any defects due the:, eta
ancl l)a~i for " to other work resulting therefrom which
an.j' QClTnage
shall ar \'liUlin a period of one year from U1e date of final
apIJro\lal and accellta11ce b~{ the Owner. The Owner shall give
X10.tlce ot obs defects vli th rea_sonable promptness. All ques-
tions a,risi11g under tl1is article shall be decided by the Engineer.

The Contractor guarantees that he can and l'lill complete the
work vIi thin the time limit stated in the Agreement, or vli th-
in tIle time as extended as provided elsewhere in the con-
tract documents. Inasmuch as the damage and loss to the
O'iVner \.lhich ,:;ill res ul t from the failure of the Contractor
to cornplete the work within the stipulated time, l.,rill be
most difficult or impossible of accurate assessment, the
damage to the Owner for such delay and failure on the part
of the Con'Cractor shall be liquidated at a daily rate In
an amount as specified In the Special provisions for each
-15- GC
calendar day, Sundays and holidays included, by which the
Contractor shall fail to complete the work or any part there-
of in accordance with the provisions hereof, and such liquid-
ated damages shall not be considered as a penalty. The Owner
will deduct and retain out of any money due or becomes due
hereunder the amount of liquidated damagesr and in case
those amounts are less than the amount of liquidated damages
the Contractor shall be liable to pay cl1e difference upon
demand.
Permi tting the Contractor to continue and finish the \'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 Owner of any of its rights under the contract.
Nei ther by the taking over of the ,..mrk by the Q\vner, nor by
the termination of the contract, shall the Owner forfeit the
right to recover liquidated damages from the Contractor or
his Surety for failure to complete the contract.
28. THE RIGHT OF THE OhfNER TO DO THE h'ORK
If the Contractor should neglect to prosecute the work prop-
erly, or fail to perform any provision of the contract, the
Owner after tilree (3) day's written notice to the Contractor,
may without prejudice to any other remedy the Ovmer may have,
make good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof
from the payment then or thereafter due the Contractorr pro-
vided, hm-lever, that t..l1e Engineer shall approve both such
action and the ~10unt charged to the Contractor.

the work in accordance with the approved Progress Scheduler
and shall fail or refuse sufficiently to increase such work-
ing force when ordered to do so by the Engineer, or if
EL The Contractor shall sublet, assign, transfer, conveyor
otherwise dispose of his contract other than as herein spec-
ified, or if
