Motion to Accept Project 787, the 2005 Park Trails Reconstruction and Authorization for Final Payment to
Barber Construction Company
Requested Action
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a motion to accept project 787, for 2005 park trails
reconstruction and authorize final payment to Barber Construction Company in the amount of $5,393.72.
Background
Council approved plans and specifications for this project on August 8, 2005. A call for bids was
appropriately advertised and bids were opened September 2, 2005. On September 12, 2005, the Council
approved a contract with Barber Construction Company for the project. The amount of the original contract
was $59,872. All work has been satisfactorily completed. The final payment of brings the total cost to
$55,273.00; $4,599 (7.7%) under budget. The savings resulted from the fact that the construction plan was
generated without a field survey; therefore conservative estimates were used to determine bid quantities.
Funding
Funding was available in the park infrastructure fund for park trails.
Attachment(s)
Attached are the engineer's memorandum recommending acceptance of the project and final pay request.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

Bidder. Owner also reserves the right to waive all informalities not involving price, time, or
changes in the work and to negotiate Contract terms with the successful Bidder.
19.03 More than 1 Bid for the same work from an individual or entity under the same or different

interest in more than 1 Bid for the work may be cause for disqualification of that Bidder and

Documents. As a condition of its Bid, Bidder is required to waive any and all claims of
whatever nature against Owner, Engineer, and their employees and agents which arise out
of or relate to such investigations and statements made as a result thereof, except for
statements that can be shown by clear and convincing evidence to be intentionally false and
made with actual malice. This waiver is not intended to restrict Bidder's rights to challenge
a Contract award pursuant to law.

in the best interests of the Project.

MIXTURE DESIGN
A
Mixture Design General
The asphalt mix may be designed using one of the following two Contractor trial mix design
options. Review of mixture designs will be performed in the District Materials Laboratory lab where the Project is
located. The addition of aggregates and materials not included in the original mixture submittal is prohibited.
It is the Contractor's responsibility to design a Marshall mixture in accordance with the most
cUlTent AASHTO T-245, the Asphalt Institute's Mix Design Methods for Asphalt Concrete MS-2, and the MrvDOT
Laboratory Manual such that it meets the requirements of this specification.
F or Marshall design, the design air void content of the mixture is dependent on the mixture ty-pe,
regardless of the location in the pavement structure. Design air void content for L Y and MY mixtures is 3.0% and
3.5%, respectively.
It is the Contractor's responsibility to design a gyratory mixture in accordance with the most
cUlTent AASHTO T-312, the Asphalt Institute's Superpave Mix Design Manual SP-2 (2-hour short term aging
period is used for volumetric), and the Mn/DOT Laboratory Manual such that it meets the requirements of this
specification.
For gyratory design, the design air void content of the mixture at design shall be 4.0S'O at the
design number of gyrations (Ndesign) for mixtures placed in the upper 100 mm [4 inches] of the finished surface. The
design air void content of the mixture at design shall be 3.0% at the design number of gyrations (Ndesign) for mixtures
placed at depths more than 100 mm [4 inches] from the surface and on all (wear and nonwear) shoulders that do not
caITy traffic. If less than 25% of a layer is within 100 mm [4 inches] of the surface, the layer may be considered to
be below 100 mm [4 inches] for mix design purposes (non-wear).

mix design are necessary to achieve the specified properties, the following provisions shall apply. No adjustments
are allowed using aggregates or materials not part of the original mix design.
The Contractor shall make a request for a JlvlF adjustment to the Department Bituminous Engineer
or District Materials Engineer. The requested change will be reviewed for the Department by a Certified Level II
Bitununous QM lvfix Designer. If the request meets the design requirements in Tables 2360J-B2a and 2360J-B2b,
a revised Mixture Design Report shall be issued. Each trial mixture design submittal as described in Section
2360.3A may have three JMF adjustments per mixture per project without charge. Additional JMF adjustments
requested must be accompanied with a S500 fee per each additional EvlF adjustment, payable to the Conmussioner
of Transportation.
If a JMF change is requested for the 0.075 mm [#200] sieve, the Fines to Effective Asphalt Ratio
shall be determined on the moving average from the previous four gradation tests conducted during actual
production. The adjusted JMF shall be within the mixture specification gradation design broadbands show1l in
Section 2360.2E. Should a redesign of the mixture become necessary, a new JMF shall be submitted. The JMF
asphalt content may only be reduced if the production VlvlA meets or exceeds the minimum VMA requirement for
the mixture being produced.
Adjustments will be made as a result of an interactive process between the Contractor, Engineer,
and District Materials Engineer. Consecutive requests for J?vlF adjustments, without production data, are not
allowed. The calculation of the moving average shall continue after the JMF has been approved.

JI\.IF Adjustment for Proportion Change> 10%
If a JMF adjustment is requested for a proportion change exceeding 10% (from the cUlTently
produced mixture) for a single stockpile aggregate, supporting production test data from a minimum of four tests run
at an accelerated testing rate of 1 test per 450 metric tons [500 tons] must be included with the request for
adjustment. In addition to the requirements listed above, acceptable verification and approval of the requested JMF
will be based on individual and moving average test results. Individual test results must be within twice the
requested JMF limits for percent asphalt binder, production air voids, and VMA. Individual gradation must be
within twice the requested JMF bands. The moving average values must be within the control limits of Table
2360A-H. The calculation of the moving average shall continue after the change in proportions.
If the mixture meets the specified quality indicators, the request for JMF adjustment will be signed
by the District lVlaterials Laboratory and considered effective from the point the proportion change was made.
Failure to meet the quality indicators will result in reduced payment or removal and replacement with acceptable
material. Consecutive requests for JMF adjustments \vithout production data is not allowed.
K
Corrective Action -- Percent Asphalt Binder Content, VMA, and Gradation and Production
Air Voids
When the moving average values trend toward the JMF limits, the Contractor shall take cOlTective
action. The cOlTective action taken shall be documented on summary sheets and, if applicable, a request for JMF
adjustment shall be submitted to the District l'vlaterials Engineer for review and approval. All tests shall be part of
the project files and shall be included in the moving average calculations. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer
\vhenever the moving average values exceed the JMF limits.
L
Failing Materials
The detennination of price adjustments for failing materials will be based on the criteria outlined
in this Section. Material acceptance is based on individual and moving average test results. Isolated test results are
used for acceptance of air voids at the start of mixture production. Generally, individual test results which are more
than twice the JMF bands are considered failing. lv'loving average test results are considered failing when they
exceed the JMF limits.
If the moving average values exceed the JMF limits, the Contractor shall stop production and
make adjustments. The Contractor shall restart production only after notifying the Engineer of the adjustments that
have been made. Testing shall resume at the accelerated rates and for the tests listed in Table 2360A-D for the next
1800 metric tons [2,000 tons] of mixture produced. The calculation of the moving average shall continue after the
stop in production.
Mixture produced where the moving average of four exceeds the JIvlF limits shall be considered
tillsatisfactory and subject to requirements of Section 2360AL4, L5, L6, and L 7. Individual test failures are
discussed in Section 2360ALl, L2, and L3.
When the total production of a mixture type for the entire project requires less than four tests, a
moving average will be established based on the tests taken. Acceptance of material will be consistent with the
criteria outlined in Section 2360AL and will be based on the following modifications to the JlvlF limits: For two
tests, establish the new JIvlF limits by multiplying the JIvlF limits listed in Table 2360A-H by 1A1; for three tests,
establish the new JMF limits by multiplying the JMF limits listed in Table 2360A-H by 1.15. For moving average
gradation, the modified flvlF limit cannot exceed the broadband requirements in Table 2360.2-E.
When the Contractor's testing data fails to meet specified tolerances as listed in Table 2360A-M,
quality assurance/verification data shall be used in place of the Contractor's data to determine the appropriate
payment factor.

Isolated Failures at Mixture Start-Up - Production Air Voids
At the start-up of mixture production, before a moving average of four can be established the first
three (3) isolated test results for production air voids \vill be used for acceptance. Isolated production air voids are
calculated by using the maximum mixture specific gravity and the cOlTesponding bulk specific gravity from that
single test. After four (4) samples have been tested and a moving average of four can be established, acceptance
will be based on individual and moving average production air voids.
If, at the start of production, any of the first three (3) isolated test results for production air voids
exceeds twice the JMF bands from the target listed on the Mixture Design Report, the material is considered
unsatisfactory or unacceptable. Reduced payment as outlined in Table 2360.4-L3 shall apply to all tonnage placed
from the sample point of the failing test until the sample point when the isolated test result is back within twice the
JTvlF bands. When the failure occurs at the first test, after the start of production, the tonnage subjected to reduce
payment shall be calculated as described above and shall include the tonnage from the start of production.
When isolated air voids are less than 1.0% or greater than 7.0% the Engineer will decide whether
the mixture is subject to removal and replacement or reduced payment. If the mixture is to be removed and
replaced, the Contractor at his expense will perform the work. To better define the area to be removed and replaced
the Engineer may require the Contractor to test inp1ace mixture. This may include testing mixture placed prior to
the failing test result. Reduced payment will be 50 percent of the Contract bid price.
L2
Individual Failure at Mixture Start-Up - vl\IA
At the start-up of mixture production, before a moving average of four can be established, the first
three (3) individual test results for Y'vlA will be used for acceptance. After 4 samples have been tested and a
moving average of four can be established, acceptance will be based on individual and moving average YMA.
If, at the start of production, any of the first three (3) individual VMA test results exceeds twice
the JMF bands from the target listed on the Mixture Design Report, the material is considered unsatisfactory or
unacceptable. Reduced payment as outlined in Table 2360.4-L3 shall apply to all tonnage placed from the sample
point of the failing test until the sample point \V'hen the test results are back within twice the JMF limits. When the
failure occurs at the first test, after the start of production, the tonnage subjected to reduce payment shall be
calculated as described above and shall include the tonnage from the start of production.

failure occurs at the first test after the start of daily production, tonnage subjected to reduced payment shall be
calculated as described above and shall include the tonnage from the start of production that day.
When individual air voids are less than 1.0% or greater than 7.0% the Engineer will decide
whether the mixture is subject to removal and replacement or reduced payment. If the mixture is to be removed and
replaced, the Contractor at his expense will perform the work. To better define the area to be removed and replaced
the Engineer may require the Contractor to test inplace mixtme. This may include testing mixture placed prior to
the failing test result. Reduced payment will be 50 percent of the Contract bid price.
L4
Moving Average Failure at Mixture Start-Up - Production Air Voids
When a moving average failure occurs within any of the first 3 moving average results after
mixture start-up (tests 4,5,6), the mixture will be considered acceptable if the individual air void, cOlTesponding to
the moving average failure is within the JMF limits. If the individual air void is not within the JMF limit, the
mixture will be considered unacceptable and the Engineer will decide whether the mixture is subject to removal and
replacement or reduced payment. The Engineer may waive the penalty if the isolated air void corresponding to the
individual air void is within the JMF limit. If the mixture is to be removed and replaced, the Contractor at his
expense will perfom1 the work. Reduced payment will be 50 percent of the Contract bid price. TOlmage subjected
to replacement or reduced payment shall be calculated as the tons placed from the sample point of the failing
moving average result and cOlTesponding individual air void beyond the EvIF limit to the sampling point when the
individual test result is back within the JMF limit.

test result is back within the JMF limit.
L6
Moving Average Failure - Production Air Voids
A moving average production air void failure occurs \vhen the individual production air void
moving average of four exceeds the Jj'yIF limit. This mixture is considered unacceptable and the Engineer will
decide whether the mixture is subject to removal and replacement or reduced payment. If the mixture is to be
removed and replaced, the Contractor at his expense will perform the \vork. Reduced payment will be 50 percent of
the Contract bid price. Tonnage subjected to replacement or reduced payment shall be calculated as the tons placed
from the sample point of all individual test results beyond the JMF limits which contributed to the moving average
value that exceeded the EvIF limit to the sampling point when the individual test result is back within the JMF limits.
When the failure occurs at the first test after the start of daily production, tonnage subjected to reduced payment

Verification Testing
A verification sample is a sample, which is sampled and tested by ?-.In'DOT the Owner to assure
compliance of the Contractor's Quality Control program. A verification companion is a companion sample, to
:-'lniDOT's the O\mer's verification sample, provided to the Contractor. The Contractor is required to test and use
this verification companion sample as part of the QC program. The verification companion sample will replace the
next scheduled QC sample. It is recommended enough material be sampled to accommodate retesting should the
samples fail to meet requirements as described below.
Verification testing shall be performed on at least one set of production tests Section 2360.4E,
excluding sections E9, E 1 0, E 11, and E 12, on a daily basis per mix type. The verification companion sample will be
used to verify the requirements of Tables 2360.2-E, 2360.3-B2a, 2360.3-B2b, and 2360.3-B2c and will be compared
to the Verification sample for compliance with allo\vable tolerances as specified in Table 2360.4-M. These include
the mixture properties of Gmm (mixture max gravity), Gmb (mixture bulk gravity), asphalt binder content, VMA
(calculated), Coarse and Fine Aggregate crushing, and gradation. For Coarse and Fine Aggregate crushing that
meets the requirements of Section 2360.4E7 and 2360.4E8 the one test per week shall be performed on a verification
companion. These do not include the aggregate bulk specific gravity Gsb. fines to effective asphalt, or the tensile
strength ratio (TSR). Asphalt binder content and gradation must be determined by either extraction method
2360.4E1b or 2360.4Elc. Asphalt content from the verification test result must be used to determine VMA
The Department's Owner's verification test results will be available to the Contractor within 2
working days from the time the sample is delivered to the District Laboratory Engineer for Gmmmixture max
gravity, Gmb mixture bulk gravity, air voids (calculated), asphalt binder content, VMA (calculated). Gradation and
crushing results will be provided to the Contractor within 3 Mn/DOT working days. Once the verification test
results are available, they will be included on the test summary sheet. These results and those from the Contractor's
verification companion \vill be compared for allowable tolerances as specified in Table 2360.4-M. If the tolerances
are met, the verification process is complete.
Page 30 of 48
2360/2350 Combined Specification
December 1, 2004
If the tolerances between Dep:lt1ment Owner and Contractor are not met, retests of the material
shall be conducted by the Department Owner. If the retests fail to meet tolerances, the Department's Owner's
verification test results will be substituted for the Contractor's results in the QC program and used for acceptance.
Only those parameters out of tolerance will be substituted and, if applicable, volumetric properties will be
recalculated (1).
When tolerances from the verification sample retests are not met, an investigation will begin
immediately to determine the cause of the difference. Testing equipment, procedures, worksheets, gyratory
specimen height sheets, and personnel will be reviewed to determine the source of the problem. The ~
;-,Iateri:lls Engineer may also require a hot-cold comparison of mixture properties be performed. The procedure for
hot-cold comparisons is as follows:
The hot-cold comparison sample will be split into three representative portions. The Engineer will
observe the Contractor testing the sample. One part shall be compacted immediately while still
hot (additional heating maybe required to raise the temperature of the sample to compaction
temperature). The second and third part will be allowed to cool to air temperature. The
Contractor will retain the second part and the third part will be transported to the District :'-.laterials
Labor:ttory Engineer. On the same day and at approximately the same time the Contractor and the
District :.bterials LJ.bor:ttory Engineer will heat their samples to compaction temperature and
compact them. From this information a calibration factor will be developed to compare the
specific gravity of the hot compacted samples to reheated compacted samples. Each test will
involve a minimum of three Marshall specimens or t\VO gyratory specimens. This test may be
repeated at the discretion of the Contractor or the District :.1aterials Engineer.
Note: Care must be taken when reheating samples for mixture properties analysis tests. Mix samples
should be reheated to 700C [1600F] to allow splitting of the sample into representative fractions
for the various tests. Overheating of the mixture portions to be tested for maximum specific
gravity (Rice Test) may result in additional asphalt being absorbed in the aggregate.
The Department Owner will test the previously collected QA samples until they meet the
tolerances or the remaining samples are all tested. Once these samples are tested, the department O\vner will test
QA samples subsequent to the verification sample until tolerances are met. Acceptance will be based on QC data
with substitution of Department O\\11er test results for those parameters out of tolerance (1). If reestablishment of
test result tolerances is not achieved within 48 hours, the Contractor shall cease mixture production and placement
until the problem is resolved.
(I) If, through anal ysis of data, it is determined there is a bias in the test results, the Engineer will determine
which results are appropriate and shall govern. Methods to analyze data for determination of bias are on
file in the Bituminous Office.

tack coats shall be allowed to break, as indicated by a color change from brown to black, before a subsequent lift is
placed.
The contact surfaces of all fixed structures and the edge of the in-place mixture in all courses at
transverse joints and longitudinal joints shall be given a uniform but not excessive coating ofliquid asphalt or
emulsified asphalt before placing the adjoining mixture.
E
Compaction Operations
After being spread, each course shall be compacted to the required density. The rollers shall, as
practicable, be operated continuously so all areas are thoroughly compacted to the required density. When not
operating, the rollers shall not stand on the uncompacted mixture or newly rolled pavement having a surface
temperature exceeding 600C [140oF]. Rolling with steel-w'heeled rollers shall be discontinued if it produces
excessive crushing or pulverizing of the aggregate or displacement of the mixture.

To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the steel roller wheels, the contact surfaces of the wheels
shall be kept properly moistened using water or a \vater solution containing small quantities of a detergent or other
approved material.
To secure a true surface, variations such as depressions or high areas, which may develop during
rolling operations, and lean, fat or segregated areas shall be cOlTected by removing and replacing the material in the
defective area. All such cOlTections shall be accomplished as directed by the Engineer at no expense to the
Dcpnrnnent Owner.
When mixtures are spread by a motor grader, pneumatic-tired rollers shall compact the mixture
simultaneously with the spreading operation.
F
Construction Joints
Joints shall be thoroughly compacted to produce a neat, tightly bonded joint that meets surface
tolerances. Both transverse and longitudinal joints are subject to density requirements as outlined in Section 2360.6
Pavement Density.
Fl
Transverse Joints
A transverse joint (full paver width at right angles to the centerline) shall be constructed when
mixture placement operations are suspended. The forward end of the freshly laid strip shall be thoroughly
compacted by rolling before the mixture has cooled. When work is resumed, the end shall be cut vertically for the
full depth of the layer unless a formed edge is constructed as approved by the Engineer.
F2
Longitudinal Joints
Longitudinal joints between strips shall be parallel to the centerline. In multiple lift construction,
the longitudinal joints between strips in each lift shall be constructed not less than 150 mm [6 inches] measured
transversely from the longitudinal joints in the previously placed lift. \Vhen the wearing course is constructed in an
even number of strips, one longitudinal joint shall be on the centerline of the road. When it is constructed in an odd
number of strips, the centerline of one strip shall be on the centerline of the road, provided that no joint is located in
the wheel path area of a traffic lane. Longitudinal joints in multiple lift construction over Portland cement concrete
pavements may be aligned directly over the concrete pavement longitudinal joints at the discretion of the Engineer.
At longitudinal joints formed by placing multiple strips, the adjoining surface being laid shall,
after final compacting, be slightly higher (but not to exceed 3 mm [118 inch)) than the previously placed strip.
When constmcting a strip adjoining a previously placed strip or a concrete pavement, any fresh mixture that
overlaps a previously placed strip or pavement shall be removed (to the longitudinal joint line) before any rolling is
done.
G
Asphalt Mixture Production (FOB Dcpartment Owner Trucks)
For asphalt mixhtre production, the Contractor shall, in addition to the asphalt mixture required on
the Project, produce and deliver asphalt mixture to the Department Owner. The mixture shall be the mixture being
produced and shall be loaded on Department Owner furnished trucks at the mixing plant at a time agreed on by the
Engineer and Contractor. The Engineer will notify the Contractor of the total quantity of mixture desired not less
than 2 w'eeks prior to completion of the wearing course construction. The Engineer will not accept the asphalt
mixture if it is inappropriate for the Department's Owner's intended use.

A Mixture Design Report is not required for planned project quantities less than 191,200 m2 mm
[9,000 square yard inches [4,500 square yards per 2 inch thickness, etc]) or 450 metric tons [500 tons].
How'ever, the Contractor shall verify in wTiting the asphalt mixture delivered to the project meets the requirements
of Table 2360.3-B2a and Table 2360.3B2b. The Department Owner will obtain samples, as deteITTIined by the
Engineer, to verify percent design air voids and gradation. These results will be used for material acceptance. Air
voids will be subject to the requirements of Section 2360AL1 b for isolated air voids and a gradation falling outside
the requirements of Table 2360.2-E will be subject to payment as indicated in Table 2360A-L2b.

General
All pavements will be compacted in accordance with the Maximum Density ivlethod unless
otherwise specified in the Contract special provisions or as noted in Section 2360.6C.
B
Maximum Density IVlethod
All courses or layers of plant mixed asphalt mixtures for which the Maximum Density Method is
used shall be compacted to a density not less than the percentage shown in the Table of Required Density, Table
2360.6-B2, for the applicable mixture and course.
Bl
Maximum Density Determination
The Density requirements listed in Table 2360.6B2 are percent of maximum specific gravity
(Gmm) based on the individual lot. The Maximum specific gravity value used to calculate the percentage density for
the lot shall be the average value obtained from the maximum gravity results from production tests taken during that
days paving. If only one or two maximum specific gravity values were obtained that day, then the moving average
value (at that test point) shall be used. rfthree or more maximum specific gravity values are obtained that day, then
the average of those tests alone shall be used as indicated above.
Bla
Pavement Density Determination
The density of each lot shall be expressed as a percentage of the maximum specific gravity
(% Gmm) obtained by dividing the average bulk specific gravity for the lot by the maximum specific gravity
multiplied by 100, (maximum specific gravity basis is the average Gmm of QC tests done on the day that the
individual lot was paved as described above). Detemunation of the bulk specific gravity of the cores shall be in
accordance with AASHTO T-166, MwDOT modified. For coarse graded mixtures the Engineer may require
deteITTIination of bulk specific gravity of the cores be in accordance with ASTM D 1188, MwDOT modified. ASTM
D6752 Mn/DOT modified (Corelok) is also allowed for determination of bulk specific gravity of coarse graded
mixtures. Selection of the test method to deteITTIine coarse graded mixture bulk specific gravity shall be agreed upon
at the time of mix design submittal. Both the Contractor and :.In!DOT 0\\11er shall use the same test method to
deteITTIine bulk specific gravity. The deteITTIination of coarse and fine graded mixtures will be based on the
percentage of material passing the 2.365 mm sieve [#8J as defined in Table 2360J-B2c.
Compaction operations shall be completed within 8 hours of mixture placement and before core
samples are obtained for density detemunation. Only pneumatic tired or static steel rollers are peITTIitted for any
compactive effort performed between 6 and 8 hours after mixture placement.
Compacted nuxtures represented by samples or tests having deficient densities shall not be re-
rolled. The Contractor shall not operate below the specified minimum density on a continuing basis. A continual
basis shall be defined as all lots in a day's production failing to meet minimum density or more than 50% of lots on
multiple days which fail to meet minimum density requirements. Production shall be stopped until the source of the
problem is determined and cOlTective action is taken to bring the work into compliance with specified minimum
required density.

Required Density
Minimum density requirements for both gyratory (SP) and Marshall designed mixtures are listed
in Table 2360.6-B2.
Unless otherwise indicated in the Plans or Special Provisions, shoulders wider than 1.8 meters
[6 feet] paved shall be compacted by the l'vlaximum Density ivlethod. When shoulders are required to be compacted
by the Maximum Density Method and are paved in a separate operation or have a different required minimum
density than the driving lane, the lot tonnage placed on the shoulder shall be delineated in separate lots from the
driving lanes for the day paving was conducted.
Unless otherwise indicated in the Plans or Special Provisions a nalTow shoulder, 1.8 meter [6 feet]
or less wide, that is paved in the same pass as a driving lane or that is paved separately will be compacted by the
Ordinary Compaction Method. Mixture compacted under Ordinary Compaction is excluded from lot density
requirements and that tonnage is also excluded from incentive/disincentive payment.
If the Plans or Special Provisions indicate a nalTow shoulder is to be compacted by the lvlaximum
Density Method, the minimum required density is listed in Table 2360.6-B2. If the minimum required density of the
shoulder is different than the driving lane, the tonnage placed on the shoulder shall be delineated in separate lots
from the driving lane.
Echelon paving (two pavers running next to each other in adjacent lanes) shall be considered
separate operations.

Divide the days production into equal lots as shown in Table 2360.6-B2a. The Engineer may
require additional density lots be established to isolate areas affected by equipment malfunctiorvbreakdown, heavy
rain, or other factors that may affect the normal compaction operations. Obtain three cores in each lot. Two cores
will be taken from random locations selected by the Engineer. The third core, a companion core, shall be taken
within 0.3 meters [1 foot] longitudinally from either of the first two cores. The companion cores shall be given to
the Department Ovyners Street Inspector immediately upon completion of coring and sawing. The random locations
will be detemuned by the Engineer using statistically derived stratified random number tables or other approved
methods of random number generation. These will also be used for partial lots. Both transverse and longitudinal
joints are subject to maximum density requirements. If the random core location falls on an unsupported joint, at the
time of compaction, (the edge of the mat being placed does not butt up against another mat, pavement surface, etc.)
cut the core w'ith the outer edge of the core balTel OJ meters [1 foot] away (laterally) from the edge of the top of the
mat (joint). If the random core location falls on a confined joint (edge of the mat being placed butts up against
another mat, pavement surface, curb and gutter, or fixed face), cut with the outer edge of the core balTel 150 mm:l:
12.5 mm [6 inches:l: 0.5 inch] from the edge of the top of the mat (ex. center of 100 mm [4 inch] core barrel
200 mm:l: 12.5 nml [8:l: 0.5 inches] from the edge of the top of the mat). Cores \vill not be taken within 300 rum
[1 foot] of any unsupported edge The Contractor shall be responsible for maintenance of traffic, coring, patching the
core holes, and sawing the cores if necessary to the proper thickness prior to density testing.
B3
Core Testing
Cores will be taken and tested by the Contractor. Core locations will be detemuned and marked
by the Engineer. The Contractor shall schedule the approximate time of testing during normal project work hours so
that the Engineer may observe and record the saturated surface dry and immersed weight of the cores.
Density detem1.ination will be made by the end of the next working day after placement and
compaction. If multiple layers are placed in a single day, cores shall be sawn and separated for each layer, tested
and reported by the end of the next working day.
The Contractor will cut pavement samples from the completed \vork with po\ver equipment, and
restore the surface by the end of the next working day with new, well compacted mixture without additional
compensation. Failure to restore the surface within 24 hours of coring shall subject the Contractor to a fine of S 1 00
per working day, per lot, until the core holes are restored. Cores shall be cut using a 100 mm [4 inch] minimum
outer diameter coring device. All samples shall be marked with the lot number and core number or letter. The cores
shall be transported to the laboratory as soon as possible to prevent damage due to improper handling or exposure to
heat. These companion cores may be tested by the Inspector on Department scales or transported to the
Department's Field Laboratory or District :\Llterials Engineer's Laboratory.
Measure each core three times for thickness prior to saw cutting, report the average lift thickness
on the core sheet. These average thickness will contribute to thickness compliance as described in Section 2360.7A
If the Department O\\ner companion core test result for bulk specific gravity (Gmb) deviates
beyond the allowable tolerance of 0.030, substitute Department Owner companion result for Contractor's core result
and then average the Department O\\l1er result with the non-companion result for the lot density acceptance. If,
through analysis of data, it is determined there is a bias in the test results, the Engineer will determine which results
are appropriate and shall govern.
If the Gmb tolerance fails in more than 2 lots in a day of either consistently high or low differences
between the companion cores then an investigation to determine the source of elTors shall be conducted.
Companion cores samples shall be increased to two per lot and tested until investigation is complete and tolerances
are met.
The Engineer may allow recoring of a sample only when the core has been damaged through no
fault of the Contractor. either during the coring process or in transit to the laboratory.

Maximum Density Acceptance and Payment Schedule
The density of compacted mixture shall be accepted by pavement cores on a lot basis.
The Contractor's cores will be used for acceptance if the determined bulk specific gravity Gmb
from AASHTO T-166, Mn/DOT modified or ASTM D 1188 is within:!:: 0.030 of the 5fa-te Owner companion Gmb
value. Payment for lot densities of compacted mixture shall be determined from Table 2360.6-84 or 2360.6-B4A.
Incentive and disincentive payments are for both wearing and non-wearing courses.
\Vhen the density requirement has been reduced by one percent, per Table 2360.6-82, footnote 1
& 2, payment adjustments for lot densities will be made as specified in Table 2360.6-84A. Incentive payments are
excluded when the minimum density has been reduced. However, at the Contractors request and with approval of
the Engineer, the reduced density requirement may be waived and density evaluated under Table 2360.6-84,
including incentives, for first lift constmcted on aggregate base, reclaimed or cold inplace recycled base courses and
first lift of an overlay on a roadway with a 6.35 metric ton [7 ton] or less spring load restriction (reduced density
shall not be waived for the first lift constructed on PCC pavements). The request and approval shall be made after
the first days paving and before the third days paving begins. Once the request has been approved, evaluation of
density will be in accordance with Table 2360.6-82 (excluding footnote 2) and Table 2360.6-84, and will remain in
effect for the duration of mixture placement on that lift. The Contractor will also be responsible for compliance with
any construction requirements on subsequent lifts.

average air voids shall be based on all the mixture production tests (2360.4e) for the cOlTesponding
day and shall be w'eighted by the tons the cOlTesponding test represents.
(4) The HMA material represented by the lot shall be paid at a 70% pay factor, unless a single core
density is less than 87.0~'O of the maximum specific gravity (Gmm). Ifa single core density is less
than 87.0% of Gmm, the material shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor at their expense
with mixture that meets the density requirements; or the Engineer may permit the unacceptable
material to remain inplace with a 50% pay factor. The limits of the area to be removed will be
determ.ined by additional core samples. These additional core samples shall be taken at the same
offset from centerline as the original core; unless the original low density core was taken within
0.45 m [1.5 feet] of an edge of the paver pass. In that case, the additional cores shall be taken
0.45 m [1.5 feet] from the edge of the paver pass. The densities shall be determined at 15 m
[50 foot] intervals, both ahead and back of the point of unacceptable core density (less than 87.0S.'O
ofGmm), until a point of acceptable core density (87.0% of Gnm1 or greater) is found. If the
incremental core density testing extends into a previously accepted lot, removal of the
unacceptable material will be required; however, the results of these tests shall not be used to
recalculate the previously accepted lot density. All costs inculTed from additional coring and
testing, resulting from unacceptable core density, will be paid by the Contractor. The
unacceptable pavement area is to be computed as the product of the longitudinal limits so
detemlined by the 15 m [50 foot] cores and the full width of the paver pass, laying in the traffic
lane or lanes. Shoulders shall be exempt from this calculation unless density failure occulTed in
the shoulder area.
After the unacceptable material (core density less than 87.0% of Gmm) has been removed and
replaced, the density of the replacement material will be determined by the average of two cores.
Payment for the replacement material will be in accordance with Tables 2360.6-B4 or
2360.6-B4A, whichever applies. There will be no payment for the material removed. The
remainder of the original lot shall have a 70% pay factor.
C
Ordinary Compaction IVlethod
Ordinary compaction shall be used for layers identified in the typical sections with a minimum
planned thickness ofless than 40 mm [11/2 inches], thin lift leveling, wedging layers, patching layers, driveways,
areas which cannot be compacted with standard highway construction equipment. Unless otherwise indicated in the
Plans or Special Provisions recreational trails shall also be compacted by ordinary compaction. The ordinary
compaction method shall not be used on mainline, ramp, or loop paving, unless otherwise designated in the plans or
special provisions. When density is evaluated by the ordinary compaction method a control strip shall be used to
establish a rolling pattern. This shall be used by the Contractor for the compaction of the asphalt mixture for the
layer on which the control strip is constructed, or until a new control strip is constructed. The control strip
requirement may be waived by the Engineer in small localized areas or other areas not conducive to its
establishment.
A control strip shall be constructed at the beginning of the work on each lift of each course. Each
control strip shall have an area of at least 330 m2 [395 square yards] and shall be of the same thickness as the lift it
represents. The subgrade or pavement course upon which a control strip is to be constructed shall have the prior
approval of the Engineer. The control strips shall remain in place and become part of the completed work.
The materials used in the construction of the control strips shall conform to the specified
requirements for the course. The materials used in the control strip shall be from the same source and of the same
ty-pe as the materials used in the remainder of the course that the control strip represents.
Page 40 of 48
2360/2350 Combined Specification
December 1, 2004
The equipment used in the construction of the control strips shall be approved by the Engineer and
shall be the same type and mass used on the remainder of the pavement course represented by the control strip. A
minimum of two rollers shall be required. A rolling pattern shall be established for each roller. A pneumatic-tired
roller shall be available for compaction operations within 24 hours after request by the Engineer. The final rolling
shall be perfom1ed with a tandem steel-wheeled roller. Areas that are inaccessible to the conventional type rolling
equipment shall be compacted to the required density by using trench rollers or mechanical tampers.
Construction of the control strips will be as directed by the Engineer. Compaction shall
conm1ence as soon as possible after the mixture has been spread to the desired thickness and shall continue until no
appreciable increase in density can be obtained by additional roller's coverages. Densities will be determined by
means of a portable nuclear testing device or suitable approved alternate and a gro\Vlh curve shall be developed to
detemune the optimum rolling pattern. The Contractor shall furnish documentation of the growth curve to the
Engineer.
To determine when no appreciable increase in density can be obtained, two test points shall be
established in the control strip on a random basis and the density at each point shall be measured by a portable
nuclear device or suitable approved alternate after each roller pass. Rolling shall be suspended when testing shows
either a decline of more than 2% of the maximum specific gravity or when additional roller passes fail to increase
the density.
After said testing is accomplished, rolling on the remainder of that course shall be done in
accordance with the pattern developed in the test strip for that roller. A separate rolling pattern and time interval
shall be established for each roller.
A new control strip shall be ordered by the Engineer when:
(a) A change in the JMF is made, or
(b) A change in the source of material is made or a change in the material from the same
source is observed.
A new control strip may be ordered by the Engineer or requested by the Contractor when:
(a) Ten days of production have been accepted without construction ofa ne\v control strip, or
(b) There are other reasons to believe that a control strip density is not representative of the
HTvlA mixture being placed.
The nuclear testing device shall be furnished and operated by the Contractor. The furnishing of
the testing device and the operator will be considered incidental to the furnishing and placement of the HMA
mixture and shall not be compensated for separately. The device shall be calibrated according to procedures
described in the MniDOT Bituminous .Manual.
Each course shall be uniformly compacted until there is no further evidence of consolidation and
all roller marks are eliminated. \Vhen this method is employed, and the quantity of mixture placed by the paver
exceeds 100 metric tons [110 tons] per hour, at least two rollers are required for compacting the mixture placed by
each paver.

Steel-Wheeled Rollers
Steel-wheeled rollers shall be self-propelled and has a minimum total mass of 7.3 metric tons
[8 tons], or as otherwise specified in the Contract. When vibratory rollers are used, they shall produce 45 kl'1 per
meter [3,085 Ibf per foot] of width. The frequency should be at least 2400 vpm and amplitude setting low. The
roller shall be capable of reversing without backlash and shall be equipped with spray attachments for moistening all
rollers on both sets of wheels.
C3
Pneumatic-Tired Rollers
The pneumatic-tired roller shall have a compacting width of 1.5 m [5 feet] or more. It shall be so
constructed that the gross \vheelload force shall be a minimum of 13 kl'1 [3,000 pounds] per wheel for LV and MV
mixtures and SP Level 2-3 mixtures and 22 kl'1 [5,000 pounds] per wheel for SP Level 4-6 mixtures and can be
varied as directed by the Engineer. The tire alTangement shall be such that full compaction will be obtained over the
full width with each pass of the roller.
The roller may be self propelled or provided with suitable tractive equipment, unless otherwise
specified in the Contract. If more than one roller is propelled by a single tractive unit, then that combination will be
counted as a single roller unit.
C4
Trench Rollers
Trench rollers shall be self propelled and have a mass of not less than 4 400 kg per meter
[2,960 pounds per foot] of width.
C5
Mixture Temperature Controls
If compaction is obtained by the ordinary compaction method, the minimum laydown temperature
in all courses (as measured behind the paver or spreading machine) of the asphalt mixture shall be in accordance
with the temperature requirements of Table 2360.6-C5. Unless directed by the Engineer in writing, no paving is
allowed under the Ordinary Compaction Method when the air temperature is below OCC [320F].

thickness shown in the Plans, except that, if automatic grade cOT1~Tols are used, this thickness requirement will not
apply to the first lift placed. This thickness requirement \vill not apply to a leveling lift whether or not automatic
grade controls are required. The Engineer may require removal and replacement, at the Contractor's expense, of any
part of any lift that is constructed to less than the minimum required thickness.
Cores taken for density determination shall be measured for thickness also. Each core shall be
measured 3 times for thickness prior to sawing. Report the average of these three measurements. Each lot's average
core thickness shall be documented and submitted to the Engineer. If the average of the two Contractor cores
exceed the specified tolerance, an additional two cores may be taken in the lot in question. The average of all core
thickness measurements per day per lift will be used to determine daily compliance with thickness specifications.
On that portion of any lift constructed to more than the maximum permissible thickness, the
materials used in the excess mixture above that required to construct that portion of the lift to the Plan thickness plus
6 mm [114 inch] may be excluded from the pay quantities and at the discretion of the Engineer and at the
Contractor's expense may be required to be removed and replaced.
B
Surface Requirements
After compaction, the finished surface of each lift shall be reasonably free of segregated, open and
tom sections, and shall be smooth and true to the grade and cross section shown on the Plans with the following
tolerances:
(I) Where a leveling lift is specified, it shall be constructed to within a tolerance of 15 nm1 [112 inch]
of the elevations and grades established by the Engineer. This requirement shall also apply to the
fIrst lift placed other than leveling when automatic controls are used.
(2) The surface of the final two lifts placed shall show no variation greater than 6 mm [114 inch] from
the edge ofa 3 m [10 foot] straightedge laid parallel to or at right angles to the centerline.

greater than 6 mm [114 inch] from the edge ofa 3 m [10 foot] straightedge laid parallel to the
centerline.
(3) After final compaction, all final lift asphalt wearing surfaces adjacent to concrete pavements shall
be slightly higher (but not to exceed 6 mm [114 inch] than the concrete surface.
After final compaction, all asphalt surfaces adjacent to gutters, manholes, pavement headers, or
other fixed structures shall be slightly higher (but not to exceed 6 mm [114 inch] than the surface
of the structure.
(4) Transverse joints (construction joints), at the beginning and end of a project, at paving
exceptions, or caused by suspension of daily paving operations, shall show' no variation greater
than 6 mm [114 inch] from the edge ofa 3 m [10 foot] straightedge centered longitudinally across
the transverse joint. The Engineer may require cOlTection by diamond grinding when material is
placed outside the above described limitations.
(5) The transverse slope of the surface of each lift, exclusive of the shoulder wearing lift, shall not

Pavement Smoothness
Cl
General
Pavement smoothness will be evaluated on the final mainline pavement surface using a California
type profilograph or IneI1ial Profiler (IP) with a 5 mm [0.2 inch] blanking band. Unless otherwise authorized by the
Engineer, all smoothness testing shall be performed in the presence of the Engineer. The Engineer and the
Contractor shall mutually agree upon scheduling of smoothness testing so that testing can be observed. Any testing
performed without the Engineer's presence, unless othenvise authorized, may be ordered retested at the Contractors
expense. The following table shows pavement surfaces, which are excluded from profilograph testing, but subject to
Section 2360.7B surface requirements.

C2
Measurement
Smoothness will be measured with a 7.62 m [25 foot] California type profilograph or an Inertial
Pro filer (IP), which produces a profilogram (profile trace of the surface tested). Either type of device must be
certified according to the procedure on file in the Bituminous Office. One pass \vill be made in each lane, 2.74 m
[9 feet] from centerline. The profilograph or IP shall be in the direction the traffic will be moving. Each lane will
be tested and evaluated separately. The Engineer will deternline the length in kilometers [nliles] for each mainline
traffic lane. The profilograph will be operated at a speed no greater than a normal walk, no greater than 6 krnIhr
[4 miles per hour]. [vlotive power may be provided manually or by the use ofa propulsion unit approved by the
Engineer. The IP will be operated at the optimum speed as defined by the manufacturer.
C3
Profilograph testing
The Contractor will furnish a properly calibrated, documented, and certified 7.62 m [25 foot]
California type profilograph or IP. The profilograph or IP shall be equipped with automatic data reduction
capabilities unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. Certification documentation shall be provided to the
Engineer on the first day the profilograph or IP is used on the project. User selected profilograph or IP settings are
on file in the Bitunlinous Office. The Contractor will furnish a competent operator, trained in the operation and
evaluation of the 7.62 m [25 foot] California profilograph or IP.
All objects and foreign material on the pavement surface \vill be removed by the Contractor prior
to testing. The pavement surface will be divided into sections which represent continuous placement. A section will
terminate or begin 15.24 m [50 feet] before or after a bridge approach panel, bridge surface, manhole or similar
interruption. These 15.24 m [50 foot] sections, including the transverse joint, will be evaluated under Section
2360.7B, Surface Requirements. A day's work joint will be included in the trace with no special consideration. A
section will be separated into segments of 0.1 km [0.1 mile]. A segment will be in only one traffic lane.
A profilogram will be made for each segment of 15.24 m [50 feet] or more. The profilogram will
include the 7.62 m [25 foot] at the ends of the section only when the Contractor is responsible for the adjoining
surface.
End of run areas not included in the profilograph trace and any sections of pavement less than
15.24 m [50 feet] in length shall be checked longitudinally with a 3.028 m [10 foot] straight edge and the surface
shall not deviate from a straight line by more than 6 mm in 3.028 m [114 inch in 10 feet]. Transverse joints shall be
evaluated by centering the straightedge longitudinally across the transverse joint.
The profile trace and index for each segment of pavement must be furnished to the Engineer
within 48 hours after each days run. Identification of all bumps and dips, with signature of the Operator shall be
included with the submitted trace.
The Contractor \vill submit a final evaluation generated from approved softw'are, to the Engineer
within five days after all mainline pavement placement. Software is available from the MnlDOT Bituminous Office
at www.mrr.dot.state.mn.us/pavement/bituminous/bituminous.asp. The evaluation submitted shall be in tabular
form with each 0.1 km [0.1 mile] segment occupying a row. Each row shall include the beginning and ending
station for the segment, the length of the segment, the profile index for the segment, the profile index
incentive/disincentive in dollars for the segment, and the deductions for bumps in dollars for the segment. Each
continuous run will occupy a separate table and each table will have a header that includes the following: the project
number, the roadway number or designation, the specified ride table, a lane designation, the mix type of the final
lift, the PG binder of the final lift, the date of the profilograph run, and the beginning and ending station of the
continuous run. Each table will have a summary at the bottom that includes the following: a subtotal for the profile
index incentive/disincentive, a subtotal for the bump deductions, and a total for incentive/disincentive for both
profile index and bumps.
The Contractor will be responsible for all traffic control associated with the smoothness testing.

Any pOJ1ion of the project may be retested if the Engineer determines that the Contractor's test
results are in question. Ifresults are found to be inaccurate, the Contractor \"ill be charged at a rate ofS15S.34 per
lane km [$250 per lane mile] that is retested, with a minimum charge of S500.00. If the results are found to be
accurate, the Department Owner will be paying the Contractor at a rate ofS155.34 per lane km [$250 per lane mile]
that is retested, with a minimum charge of S500.00.
C4
Profile Index
The profilograph or 1P shall be equipped with automatic data reduction capabilities for
determining the profile index (PI) unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. The profilograph trace will be
evaluated for the profile index (PI) and bumps in accordance with California Method 526 on file with the
Department Bituminous Engineer. The original trace shall be provided to the Engineer
A profile index shall be calculated for each segment. If an IP is used the cOlTesponding
International Roughness Index (IRl) for each segment shall be submitted to the Bituminous Office Owner. The
index will be detemuned by summing the vertical deviations outside either as mm [0.2 inch] blanking band or
outside a zero blanking band depending on the number oflifts in the construction. The units of this index are nm1
per km [inch per mile]. When there is a segment of76.2 m [250 feet] or less in length, the profilograph or IP
measurements for that segment shall be added to and included in the evaluation of the adjacent section to that
segment.
Bumps and dips equal to or exceeding 10.2 mm in a 7.62 m [0.4 inch in a 25 foot] span shall be
identified separately. When the profile trace shows a successive, uninterrupted bump, dip; or dip, bump
combination (up to a maximum of 3 alternating trace deviations that relate to one bump or dip on the roadway),
identify and evaluate these occulTences as one event.
C5
Surface Correction
All areas represented by deviations of 28 mm [1.1 inch] or more, as measured by the 7.62 m
[25 foot] profilograph or IP, will be cOlTected by the Contractor.
The Contractor may elect to cOlTect pavement segments having no more than two events or two
individual bumps or dips with a vertical deviation of 10.2 to 25 mm [0.4 to 1.0 inch] in a 7.62 m [25 foot] span.
COlTection of segments with more than two events or two individual bumps or dips, as defined above, \vill be
allowed only when approved by the Engineer. The Contractor will be assessed a penalty for dips or bumps of 10.2
to 2S nun [0.4 to 1.0 inch] that are not cOlTected. Bumps and dips not cOlTected will also be included in the
evaluation for the segment smoothness. COlTected dips or bumps will be considered satisfactory when the
profilogram shows the dips or bumps are less than 10.2 mill in a 7.62 m [0.4 inch in a 25 foot] span.
Bump, dip, and smoothness cOlTection work shall be for the entire traffic lane width. Pavement
cross slope shall be maintained through cOlTective areas.
COlTective work shall be made by diamond grinding unless other methods are approved by the
Engineer. Other methods may include; overlaying the area, or replacing the area by milling and inlaying. Any
cOlTective actions by milling and inlay or overlay shall meet the specifications for ride quality over the entire length
of the cOlTection, including the first and last 15 m [50 feet]. Bumps or dips in excess of 10.2 mm [0.4 inches] at
transverse joints at areas of cOlTective actions utilizing overlay or milling and inlay, shall be removed by diamond
grinding. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer prior to conm1encement of the cOlTective action If the surface is
cOlTected by overlay, inlay or replacement, the surface cOlTection shall begin and end with a transverse saw cut.
If the smoothness evaluation indicates that cOlTective work is necessary for more than 50% ofa
segment, surface cOlTection will be limited to mill and inlay (40 mm [1 1/2 inch] min).
All cOlTective work shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. After all required cOlTection
work is completed, a final profile index shall be determined. COlTective work and re-evaluation will be at the
Contractor's expense.

C6
Payment
The cost of certified smoothness testing and associated traffic control \vill be incidental to the cost
of the Wear Course "tvlixture.
The Contractor may receive an incentive payment or be assessed a penalty based on the number of
segments and the initial profile index. The total ride incentive shall not exceed 10% of the total mix price for
pavement smoothness evaluated under Table 2360.7-C6A, 5% of the total mix price for pavement smoothness
evaluated under Table 2360.7-C6B, or 5% of the total mix price for pavement smoothness evaluated under Table
2360.7-C6C. The maximum allowable net incentive (total incentive minus disincentive) payment shall be calculated
by multiplying the total tons paved by the mixhlre price by the appropriate incentive cap. Pay adjustments for
incentives will only be based on the initial Profile Index before any cOlTective work has been performed. Pavement
that contains corrective action for profile or bumps is not eligible for incentive pay. These payments or assessments
will be based on the following schedules.
The Contractor will not receive a net incentive payment for ride if more than 25% of all density
lots for the project fail to meet minimum density requirements.
For each traffic lane, a penalty will be assessed for each bump or dip of 10.2 to 25 mm [004 to 1.0
inch] that is not cOlTecled. Penalties, based on the table the profile index is evaluated under, are as follows:
Table 2360.7-C6A: 5900
Table 2360.7-C6B: 5675
Table 2360.7-C6C: 5450
Bumps or dips resulting from a construction joint will be assessed a 5900 penalty, regardless of
the table used for evaluation of pavement smoothness.
The Engineer may, at his discretion, assess a penalty in lieu of requiring the Contractor to take
cOlTective action \vhen the profile index for a segment indicates cOlTective action is necessary.
Penalties, based on the table the profile index is evaluated under, are as follows:

relating to existing surface or subsurface structures at or
contiguous to the Site (except Underground Facilities)
that Engineer has used in preparing the Contract
Documents.
B. Limited Reliance by Contractor on Technical
Data Authorized: Contractor may rely upon the general
accuracy of the "technical data" contained in such reports
and drawings, but such reports and drawings are not
Contract Documents. Such "technical data" is identified
in the Supplementary Conditions. Except for such reliance
on such "technical data," Contractor may not rely upon or
make any claim against Owner or Engineer, or any of
their Related Entities with respect to:
1. the completeness of such reports and drawings

any aspects of the means, methods, techniques,
sequences, and procedures of construction to be employed
by Contractor, and safety precautions and programs
incident thereto; or
2. other data, interpretations, opmlOns, and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any Contractor interpretation of or conclusion
drawn from any "technical data" or any such other data,
interpretations, opinions, or information.
4.03
Differing Subsllljace or Physical Conditions
A. Notice: If Contractor believes that any subsur-
face or physical condition at or contiguous to the Site that
is uncovered or revealed either:
1. is of such a nature as to establish that any
"technical data" on which Contractor is entitled to rely as
provided in Paragraph 4.02 is materially inaccurate; or
2. is of such a nature as to require a change in the
Contract Documents; or
3. differs materially from that shown or indicated
in the Contract Documents; or
4. is of an unusual nature, and differs materially
from conditions ordinarily encountered and generally
recognized as inherent in work of the character provided
for in the Contract Documents;
then Contractor shall, promptly after becoming aware
thereof and before further disturbing the subsurface or
physical conditions or performing any Work in connec-
tion therewith (except in an emergency as required by
Paragraph 6.16.A), notify Owner and Engineer in writing
about such condition. Contractor shall not further disturb
such condition or perform any Work in connection
therewith (except as aforesaid) until receipt of written
order to do so.
B. Engineer's Review: After receipt of written
notice as required by Paragraph 4.03.A, Engineer will
promptly review the pertinent condition, determine the
necessity of Owner's obtaining additional exploration or
tests with respect thereto, and advise Owner in writing
(with a copy to Contractor) of Engineer's findings and
conclusions.
C. Possible Price and Times Adjustments
1. The Contract Price or the Contract Times, or
both, will be equitably adjusted to the extent that the
existence of such differing subsurface or physical
condition causes an increase or decrease in Contractor's
cost of, or time required for, performance of the Wark;
subject, however, to the following:
a. such condition must meet anyone or more of
the categories described in Paragraph 4.03.A;
and
b. with respect to Work that is paid for on a Unit
Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract Price
will be subject to the provisions of Paragraphs'
9.07 and 11.03.
2. Contractor shall not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times if:
a. Contractor knew of the existence of such
conditions at the time Contractor made a final
commitment to Owner with respect to Contract
Price and Contract Times by the submission of a
Bid or becoming bound under a negotiated
contract; or
b. the existence of sllch condition could
reasonably have been discovered or revealed as a
result of any examination, investigation, explo-
ration, test, or study of the Site and contiguous
areas required by the Bidding Requirements or
Contract Documents to be conducted by or for
Contractor prior to Contractor's making such
final commitment; or

proposed substitute item.
A Whenever an item of material or equipment is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by
using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a
particular Supplier, the specification or description is
intended to establish the type, function, appearance, and
quality required. Unless the specification or description
contains or is followed by words reading that no like,

6.05 Substitutes alld "Or-Equals"
c. The requirements for review by Engineer will
be as set forth in Paragraph 6.05.A2.d, as
supplemented in the General Requirements and
as Engineer may decide is appropriate under the
circumstances.
1. "Or-Equal" Items: If in Engineer's sole
discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by
Contractor is functionally equal to that named and
sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will
be required, it may be considered by Engineer as an
"or-equal" item, in which case review and approval of the
proposed item may, in Engineer's sole discretion, be
accomplished without compliance with some or all of the
requirements for approval of proposed substitute items.
For the purposes of this Paragraph 6.05 .A1, a proposed
item of material or equipment will be considered
functionally equal to an item so named if:
d. Contractor shall make written application to
Engineer for review of a proposed substitute item
of material or equipment that Contractor seeks to
furnish or use. The application:
1) shall certify that the proposed substi-
tute item will:
a) perform adequately the functions and
achieve the results called for by the
general design,

Engineer determines that:
b) be similar ll1 substance to that
specified, and
1) it is at least equal in materials of
construction, quality, durability, appearance,
strength, and design characteristics;
c) be suited to the same use as that
specified;
2) will state:
2) it will reliably perform at least
equally well the function and achieve the results
imposed by the design concept of the completed
Project as a functioning whole,
a) the extent, if any, to which the use of
the proposed substitute item will preju-
dice Contractor's achievement of
Substantial Completion on time;
1) there will be no increase in cost to
the Owner or increase in Contract Times, and
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

b) whether or not use of the proposed
substitute item in the Work will require
a change in any of the Contract Docu-
ments (or in the provisions of any other
direct contract with Owner for other
work on the Project) to adapt the design
to the proposed substitute item; and
3) it has a proven record of performance
and availability of responsive service; and
b. Contractor certifies that, if approved and
incorporated into the Work:
c) whether or not incorporation or use
of the proposed substitute item in con-
nection with the Work is subject to
payment of any license fee or royalty;
3) will identify:
a) all vanatlons of the proposed
substitute item from that specified, and
b) available engineering, sales,
maintenance, repair, and replacement
services;
4) and shall contain an itemized esti-
mate of all costs or credits that will result
directly or indirectly from use of such substitute
item, including costs of redesign and claims of
other contractors affected by any resulting
change,
B. Substitute Construction i'vlethods or Proce-
dures: If a specific means, method, technique, sequence,
or procedure of construction is expressly required by the
Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a
substitute means, method, technique, sequence, or
procedure of construction approved by Engineer.
Contractor shall submit sufficient information to allow
Engineer, in Engineer's sole discretion, to determine that
the substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly
called for by the Contract Documents. The requirements
for review by Engineer will be similar to those provided
in Paragraph 6.05.A.2.
C. Engineer's Evaluation: Engineer will be
allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each
proposal or submittal made pursuant to Paragraphs 6.05.A
and 6.05.B. Engineer may require Contractor to furnish
additional data about the proposed substitute item.
Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No "or
equal" or substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized
until Engineer's review is complete, which will be
evidenced by either a Change Order for a substitute or an
approved Shop Drawing for an "or equaL" Engineer will

in the Contract Documents and will not be changed
without written consent of Owner and Engineer.
9.02
Visits to Site
A. Engineer will make visits to the Site at inter-
vals appropriate to the various stages of construction as
Engineer deems necessary in order to observe as an
experienced and qualified design professional the
progress that has been made and the quality of the various
aspects of Contractor's executed Work. Based on
information obtained during such visits and observations,
Engineer, for the benefit of Owner, will determine, in
general, if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the
Contract Documents. Engineer will not be required to
make exhaustive or continuous inspections on the Site to
check the quality or quantity of the Work. Engineer's
efforts will be directed toward providing for Owner a
greater degree of confidence that the completed Work will
conform generally to the Contract Documents. On the
basis of such visits and observations, Engineer will keep
Owner informed of the progress of the Work and will
endeavor to guard Owner against defective Work.
B. Engineer's visits and observations are subject
to all the limitations on Engineer's authority and
responsibility set forth in Paragraph 9.09. Particularly, but
without limitation, during or as a result of Engineer's
visits or observations of Contractor's Work Engineer will
not supervise, direct, control, or have authority over or be
responsible for Contractor's means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction, or the safety
precautions and programs incident thereto, or for any
failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and
Regulations applicable to the performance of the Work.
9.03 Project Representative
A. If Owner and Engineer agree, Engineer will
furnish a Resident Project Representative to assist

responsibilities and authority and limitations thereon of
such other individual or entity will be as provided in the
Supplementary Conditions.
9.04 Authorized Variations in Work
A. Engineer may authorize minor variations in
the Work from the requirements of the Contract
Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the
Contract Price or the Contract Times and are compatible
with the design concept of the completed Project as a
functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Docu-
ments. These may be accomplished by a Field Order and
will be binding on Owner and also on Contractor, who
shall perform the Work involved promptly. If Owner or
Contractor believes that a Field Order justifies an
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or
both, and the parties are unable to agree on entitlement to
or on the amount or extent if any, of any such adjustment
, a Claim may be made therefor as provided in Paragraph
10.05.
9.05
Rejecting Defective Work
A. Engineer will have authority to reject Work
which Engineer believes to be defective, or that Engineer
believes will not produce a completed Project that
conforms to the Contract Documents or that will prejudice
the integrity of the design concept of the completed
Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the
Contract Documents. Engineer will also have authority to
require special inspection or testing of the Work as
provided in Paragraph 13.04, whether or not the Work is
fabricated, installed, or completed.

13.04 Uncovering Work
A. If any Work is covered contrary to the written
request of Engineer, it must, if requested by Engineer, be
uncovered for Engineer's observation and replaced at

all necessary labor, material, and equipment.
C. If it is found that the uncovered Work is
defective, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses,
and damages (including but not limited to all fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such
uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, and
testing, and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction
(including but not limited to all costs of repair or
replacement of work of others); and Owner shall be
entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price. If
the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof,
Owner may make a Claim therefor as provided in
Paragraph 10.05.

amount or extent thereof, Contractor may make a Claim
therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05.
13.05 Owner May Stop the Work
A. If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to
supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or
equipment, or fails to perform the Work in such a way
that the completed Work will conform to the Contract
Documents, Owner may order Contractor to stop the
Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such
order has been eliminated; however, this right of Owner
to stop the Work shall not gi ve rise to any duty on the part

Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other
individual or entity, or any surety for, or employee or
agent of any of them.
13.06 Correction or Removal of Defective Work
A. Promptly after receipt of notice, Contractor

pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of
or relating to sllch correction or removal (including but
not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of
others).
B. When correcting defective Work under the
terms of this Paragraph 13.06 or Paragraph 13.07,
Contractor shall take no action that would void or
otherwise impair Owner's special warranty and guarantee,
if any, on said Work.
13.07 Correction Period
A. If within one year after the date of Substantial
Completion (or such longer period of time as may be
prescribed by the terms of any applicable special
guarantee required by the Contract Documents) or by any
specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work
is found to be defective, or if the repair of any damages to
the land or areas made available for Contractor's use by
Owner or permitted by Laws and Regulations as

defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to
Owner and in accordance with Owner's written
instructions:
1. repair such defective land or areas; or
2. correct such defective Work; or
3. if the defective Work has been rejected by

B. If Contractor does not promptly comply with
the terms of Owner's written instructions, or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss
or damage, Owner may have the defective Work
corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work re-
moved and replaced. All claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges
of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution
costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or repair
or such removal and replacement (including but not
limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of
others) will be paid by Contractor.
C. In special circumstances where a particular
item of equipment is placed in continuous service before
Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction
period for that item may start to run from an earlier date if
so provided in the Specifications.
D. Where defective Work (and damage to other
Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or removed
and replaced under this Paragraph 13.07, the correction
period hereunder with respect to such Work will be
extended for an additional period of one year after such
correction or removal and replacement has been
satisfactorily completed.
E. Contractor's obligations under this Paragraph
13.07 are in addition to any other obligation or warranty.
The provisions of this Paragraph 13.07 shall not be
construed as a substitute for or a waiver of the provisions
of any applicable statute of limitation or repose.
13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal
and replacement of defective Work, Owner (and, prior to
Engineer's recommendation of final payment, Engineer)
prefers to accept it, Owner may do so. Contractor shall
pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to
Owner's evaluation of and determination to accept such
defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as
to reasonableness) and the diminished value of the Work
to the extent not otherwise paid by Contractor pursuant to
this sentence. If any such acceptance occurs prior to
Engineer's recommendation of final payment, a Change
Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions
in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and
Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the
Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work
so accepted. If the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, Owner may make a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05. If the acceptance occurs
after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be
paid by Contractor to Owner.
13.09 Owner iHay Correct Defective Work
A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time
after written notice from Engineer to correct defective
Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required
by Engineer in accordance with Paragraph 13.06.A, or if
Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with
the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply
with any other provision of the Contract Documents,
Owner may, after seven days written notice to Contractor,
correct or remedy any such deficiency.
B. In exercising the rights and remedies under
this Paragraph 13.09, Owner shall proceed expeditiously.
In connection with such corrective or remedial action,
Owner may exclude Contractor from all or part of the
Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and
suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take posses-
sion of Contractor's tools, appliances, construction
equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in
the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or
for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored
elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner's
representatives, agents and employees, Owner's other
contractors, and Engineer and Engineer's consultants
access to the Site to enable Owner to exercise the rights
and remedies under this Paragraph.
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution
costs) incurred or sustained by Owner in exercising the
rights and remedies under this Paragraph 13.09 will be
charged against Contractor, and a Change Order will be
issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and Owner
shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract
Price. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of
the adjustment, Owner may make a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05. Such claims, costs, losses
and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of
repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or
damaged by correction. removal, or replacement of
Contractor's defective Work.
D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension
of the Contract Times because of any delay in the

Owner of Owner's rights and remedies under this
Paragraph 13.09.

14.01 Schedule of Values
A. The Schedule of Values established as provid-
ed in Paragraph 2.07.A will serve as the basis for progress

payments and will be incorporated into a form of Applica-
tion for Payment acceptable to Engineer. Progress
payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on
the number of units completed.
14.02 Progress Payments
A. Applications for Payments
1. At least 20 days before the date established in
the Agreement for each progress payment (but not more
often than once a month), Contractor shall submit to
Engineer for review an Application for Payment filled out
and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as
of the date of the Application and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Contract
Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of
materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but
delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another
location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment
shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or
other documentation warranting that Owner has received
the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens
and evidence that the materials and equipment are
covered by appropriate property insurance or other
arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein, all of
which must be satisfactory to Owner.
2. Beginning with the second Application for
Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit of
Contractor stating that all previous progress payments
received on account of the Work have been applied on
account to discharge Contractor's legitimate obligations
associated with prior Applications for Payment.
3. The amount of retainage with respect to
progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.
B. Review of Applications
1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of
each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a
recommendation of payment and present the Application
to Owner or return the Application to Contractor
indicating in writing Engineer's reasons for refusing to
recommend payment. In the latter case, Contractor may
make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application.
2. Engineer's recommendation of any payment
requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a
representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer's
observations on the Site of the executed Work as an
experienced and qualified design professional and on
Engineer's review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of
Engineer's knowledge, information and belief:
b. the quality of the Work is generally in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents (subject to
an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the
results of any subsequent tests called for in the
Contract Documents, to a final determination of
quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work
under Paragraph 9.07, and to any other
qualifications stated in the recommendation); and
c. the conditions precedent to Contractor's being
entitled to such payment appear to have been
fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's
responsibility to observe the Work.
3. By recommending any such payment Engineer
will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the
quantity of the Work as it has been performed
have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect
of the Work in progress, or involved detailed
inspections of the Work beyond the responsi-
bilities specifically assigned to Engineer in the
Contract Documents; or
b. that there may not be other matters or issues
between the parties that might entitle Contractor
to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle
Owner to withhold payment to Contractor.
4. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's
Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor
Engineer's recommendation of any payment, including
final payment, will impose responsibility on Engineer:
a. to supervise, direct, or control the Work, or
b. for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction, or the
safety precautions and programs incident thereto,
or
c. for Contractor's failure to comply with Laws
and Regulations applicable to Contractor's
performance of the Work, or
d. to make any examination to ascertain how or
for what purposes Contractor has used the
moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or
e. to determine that title to any of the Work,
materials, or equipment has passed to Owner free
and clear of any Liens.
5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole
or any part of any payment if, in Engineer's opinion, it
would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner
stated in Paragraph 14.02.B.2. Engineer may also refuse
to recommend any such payment or, because of subse-
quently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

00700 - 36
a. the Work has progressed to the point indicat-
ed;
inspections or tests, revise or revoke any such payment
recommendation previously made, to such extent as may
be necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from
loss because:
a. the Work is defective, or completed Work has
been damaged. requiring correction or replace-
ment;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Change Orders;
c. Owner has been required to correct defective
Work or complete Work in accordance with
Paragraph 13.09; or
d. Engineer has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated In
Paragraph 15.02.A.
C. Payment Becomes Due
1. Ten days after presentation of the Application
for Payment to Owner with Engineer's recommendation,
the amount recommended will (subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 14.02.D) become due, and when due will be
paid by Owner to Contractor.
D. Reduction in Payment
1. Owner may refuse to make payment of the full
amount recommended by Engineer because:
a. claims have been made against Owner on
account of Contractor's performance or furnish-
ing of the Work;
b. Liens have been filed in connection with the
Work, except where Contractor has delivered a
specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the
satisfaction and discharge of such Liens;
c. there are other items entitling Owner to a
set-off against the amount recommended; or
d. Owner has actual knowledge of the occurrence
of any of the events enumerated in Paragraphs
14.02.B.5.a through 14.02.B.5.c or Paragraph
15.02.A.
2. If Owner refuses to make payment of the full
amount recommended by Engineer, Owner will give
Contractor immediate written notice (with a copy to
Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and promptly
pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of
the amount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay
Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment
thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, when
Contractor corrects to Owner's satisfaction the reasons for
such action.
3. If it is subsequently determined that Owner's
refusal of payment was not justified, the amount
wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an amount due as
determined by Paragraph 14.02.C.1.
14.03 Contractor's Warrant)' of Title
A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title
to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any
Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the
Project or not, will pass to Owner no later than the time of
payment free and clear of all Liens.
14.04 Substantial Completion
A. When Contractor considers the entire Work
ready for its intended use Contractor shall notify Owner
and Engineer in writing that the entire Work is
substantially complete (except for items specifically listed
by Contractor as incomplete) and request that Engineer
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion.
B. Promptly after Contractor's notification, ,
Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of the Work to determine the status of
completion. If Engineer does not consider the Work
substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in
writing giving the reasons therefor.
C. If Engineer considers the Work substantially
complete, Engineer will deliver to Owner a tentative
certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the
date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to
the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. Owner shall have seven
days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which
to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions
of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such
objections, Engineer concludes that the Work is not
substantially complete, Engineer will within 14 days after
submission of the tentative certificate to Owner notify
Contractor in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If, after
consideration of Owner's objections, Engineer considers
the Work substantially complete, Engineer will within
said 14 days execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor
a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a
revised tentative list of items to be completed or correct-
ed) reflecting sllch changes from the tentative certificate
as Engineer believes justified after consideration of any
objections from Owner.
D. At the time of delivery of the tentative
certificate of Substantial Completion, Engineer will
deliver to Owner and Contractor a written recommen-
dation as to division of responsibilities pending final
payment between Owner and Contractor with respect to
security, operation, safety, and protection of the Work,
maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and warranties and
guarantees. Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise
in writing and so inform Engineer in writing prior to
Engineer's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

00700 - 37
Completion, Engineer's aforesaid recommendation will
be binding on Owner and Contractor until final payment.
E. Owner shall have the right to exclude
Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial
Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable
access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
14.05 Partial Utilization
A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the
Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially
completed part of the Work which has specifically been
identified in the Contract Documents, or which Owner,
Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately
functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used
by Owner for its intended purpose without significant
interference with Contractor's performance of the
remainder of the Work, subject to the following condi-
tions.
1. Owner at any time may request Contractor in
writing to permit Owner to use or occupy any such part of
the Work which Owner believes to be ready for its
intended use and substantially complete. If and when
Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is
substantially complete, Contractor will certify to Owner
and Engineer that such part of the Work is substantially
complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
2. Contractor at any time may notify Owner and
Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such
part of the Work ready for its intended use and substan-
tially complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate
of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
3. Within a reasonable time after either such
request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status
of completion. If Engineer does not consider that part of
the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will
notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons
therefor. If Engineer considers that part of the Work to be
substantially complete, the provisions of Paragraph 14.04
will apply with respect to certification of Substantial
Completion of that part of the Work and the division of
responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of
part of the Work may occur prior to compliance with the
requirements of Paragraph 5.10 regarding property
Insurance.
14.06 Final Inspection
that the Work is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall
immediately take such measures as are necessary to
complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.
14.07 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment
1. After Contractor has, in the opInIOn of
Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections
identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in
accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance
and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance certificates of
inspection, marked-up record documents (as provided in
Paragraph 6.12), and other documents, Contractor may
make application for final payment following the
procedure for progress payments.
2. The final Application for Payment shall be
accompanied (except as previously delivered) by:
a. all documentation called for in the Contract
Documents, including but not limited to the
evidence of insurance required by Paragraph
5.04.B.7;
b. consent of the surety, if any, to final payment;
c. a list of all Claims against Owner that
Contractor believes are unsettled; and
d. complete and legally effective releases or
waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien rights

the Work.
3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens
specified in Paragraph 14.07.A.2 and as approved by
Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full
and an aftidavit of Contractor that: (i) the releases and
receipts include all labor, services, material, and
equipment for which a Lien could be filed; and (ii) all
payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner
or Owner's property might in any way be responsible have
been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or
Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full,
Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral
satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any
Lien.
B. Engineer's Review of Application and
Acceptance
1. If, on the basis of Engineer's observation of
A. Upon written notice from Contractor that the the Work during construction and final inspection, and
entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, Engineer's review of the final Application for Payment

00700 - 38
under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled,
Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of the final
Application for Payment, indicate in writing Engineer's
recommendation of payment and present the Application
for Payment to Owner for payment. At the same time
Engineer will also give written notice to Owner and
Contractor that the Work is acceptable subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 14.09. Otherwise, Engineer will
return the Application for Payment to Contractor, indicat-
ing in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final
payment, in which case Contractor shall make the
necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for
Payment.
C. Payment Becomes Due
1. Thirty days after the presentation to Owner of
the Application for Payment and accompanying docu-
mentation, the amount recommended by Engineer, less
any sum Owner is entitled to set off against Engineer's
recommendation, including but not limited to liquidated
damages, will become due and, will be paid by Owner to
Contractor.
14.08 Final Completion Delayed
A. If, through no fault of Contractor, final
completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if
Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of
Contractor's final Application for Payment (for Work
fully completed and accepted) and recommendation of
Engineer, and without terminating the Contract, make
payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to
be held by Owner for Work not fully completed or
corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the
Agreement, and if bonds have been furnished as required
in Paragraph 5.01, the written consent of the surety to the
payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by
Contractor to Engineer with the Application for such
payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms
and conditions governing final payment, except that it
shall not constitute a waiver of Claims.
14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of final payment
will constitute:
1. a waiver of all Claims by Owner against
Contractor, except Claims arising from unsettled Liens,
from defective Work appearing after final inspection
pursuant to Paragraph 14.06, from failure to comply with
the Contract Documents or the terms of any special
guarantees specified therein, or from Contractor's
continuing obligations under the Contract Documents;
and
with the requirements herein and expressly acknowledged
by Owner in writing as still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 - SUSPENSION OF WORK Al~D
TERMINATION
15.01 Owner lv1ay Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, Owner may
suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of
not more than 90 consecutive days by notice in writing to
Contractor and Engineer which will fix the date on which
Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work
on the date so fixed. Contractor shall be granted an adjust-
ment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Times, or both, directly attributable to any such
suspension if Contractor makes a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05.
15.02 Owner iVIay Terminatefor Cause
A. The occurrence of anyone or more of the
following events will justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
(including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient
skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or
failure to adhere to the Progress Schedule established
under Paragraph 2.07 as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to Paragraph 6.04);
2. Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regulations
of any public body having jurisdiction;
3. Contractor's disregard of the authority of
Engineer; or
4. Contractor's violation in any substantial way
of any provisions of the Contract Documents.
B. If one or more of the events identified in
Paragraph 15.02.A occur, Owner may, after giving
Contractor (and surety) seven days written notice of its
intent to terminate the services of Contractor:
1. exclude Contractor from the Site, and take
possession of the Work and of all Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment, and machinery at the
Site, and use the same to the full extent they could be
used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for
trespass or conversion),
2. incorporate in the Work all materials and
equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has paid
Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and
2. a waiver of all Claims by Contractor against
Owner other than those previously made in accordance
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

00700 - 39
3. complete the Work as Owner may deem
expedient.
C. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph
15.02.B, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is completed. If the
unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims,
costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and
other professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) sustained by Owner arising out
of or relating to completing the Work, such excess will be
paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses, and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall
pay the difference to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses,
and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed by
Engineer as to their reasonableness and, when so
approved by Engineer, incorporated in a Change Order.
When exercising any rights or remedies under this
Paragraph Owner shall not be required to obtain the
lowest price for the Work performed.
D. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.B and
15.02.C, Contractor's services will not be terminated if
Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of notice
of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform and
proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more
than 30 days of receipt of said notice.
E. Where Contractor's services have been so
terminated by Owner, the termination will not affect any
rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then
existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or
payment of moneys due Contractor by Owner will not
release Contractor from liability.
F. If and to the extent that Contractor has
provided a performance bond under the provisions of
Paragraph 5.01.A, the termination procedures of that bond
shall supersede the provisions of Paragraphs 15.02.B, and
15.02.C.
15.03 Owner May Terminate For Convenience
A. Upon seven days written notice to Contractor
and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner,
