Resolution awarding contract to Veit & Company Inc. for the construction of a regional pond at the Victory
Park wetland site (improvement project 747)
Requested Action
Contingent on receiving the necessary easements, staff requests approval of a resolution awarding a contract
to the low and responsible bidder, Veit & Company Inc., in the amount of $292,285.80. The contract is for the
construction of a new regional water quality pond at the Victory Park wetland site.
Policy/Past Practice
A new regional water quality pond for this location is part of the city's 1996 Surface Water Management Plan.
Background
The proposed pond construction and storm infrastructure improvements include a new pond at the far
southeast corner of the Victory Park wetland, and improvements to the storm water system from East
Research Center Road to the pond. The proposed pond construction and storm water infrastructure
improvements would improve the water quality of the storm water rW10ff flowing into the wetland, and also
help alleviate the flooding tl1at currently occurs at tl1e East Research Center Road and Boone A venue
intersection during rain events.
Council approved soil borings for the site this spring. The city engineer prepared plans and specifications,
and the Council approved tl1e plans and authorized staff to advertise for bids on August 22,2005. The city is
working with the adjacent property owners to acquire botl1 temporary and permanent access easements for
the construction of the pond.

Resolution to accept the Victory Park wetland site regional pond project and approve the final payment
request (improvement project 747)
Requested Action
Staff recommends that Council approve a resolution to accept tl1e Victory Park wetland site regional pond
project and authorize final payment to Veit & Company Inc., in the amow1t of $15,167.90.
Policy/Past Practice
The new regional water quality pond at this location was part of the city's 1996 Surface Water Management
Plan.
Background
The project included the construction of a new regional pond at the far southeast corner of the Victory Park
wetland, and improvements to the storm water infrastructure from East Research Center Road to the pond.
The pond construction and storm water infrastructure improvements will improve the water quality of the
storm water rW10ff flowing into the wetland, and also help alleviate the flooding that currently occurs at tl1e
East Research Center Road and Boone Avenue intersection during rain events.
The city engineer prepared plans and specifications, and the Council approved the plans and authorized
staff to advertise for bids on August 22,2005. The Council awarded a contract to Veit & Company Inc., on
September 28, 2005, and the Council accepted easements from the adjacent property owners on
March 13, 2006.

Funding
Veit's original bid for the project was $292,285.80. Additional soil excavation was necessary to complete the
wetland mitigation required by the Department of Natural Resources during construction of the new regional
pond. The additional excavation quantities brought the value of work completed to $303,358.10.
The engineer's preliminary construction cost estimate was $340,000 for construction of the pond and the
storm water infrastructure improvements. Funding was through the city's storm water fund and storm water
pond fees in the amount of $37,500 that have been received from the Woodbridge Development. In addition,
the city received a grant in the amount of $9,450 for a portion of the restoration expenses.
Attachments
Attached are copies of the resolution, the engineer's memorandum recommending acceptance of the project,
and the final pay request.

Request for Final Payment

Dear Guy,
Enclosed find the signed final pay request for the Victory Park Pond Improvements project All work on
the project has been completed and the plantings and seeding accepted.
The contract amount is for $292,285.80. Final payment is for $15,167.90, bringing the total cost to
$303,358.10 or $11,072.30 (3.8%) over budget The increased costs resulted from an overrun of
common excavation. Additional excavation was required to satisfy the wetland creation required to
mitigate that impacted by the pond construction.

since the orie:inal mixture submittal.
(I) The Contra~tor shall begin mixture production using all aggregate proportions included on the Mixture Design Report unless
the aggregate proportion is shown as 0 percent.
If, during production, the Contractor detemlines from results of QC tests that adjustments to the
mix design are necessary to achieve the specified properties, the follo\ving 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 JMF adjustl11ent to the Department Bituminous Engineer
or District Materials Engineer. The requested change will be review'ed for the Department by a Certified Level II
Bituminous QM Mix 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 \vith a S500 fee per each additional JMF 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 frol11 the previous four gradation tests conducted during actual
production. The adjusted JMF shall be \vithin the nuxture specification gradation design broadbands shown in
Section 2360.2E. Should a redesign of the mixture become necessary, a new JIvIF shall be submitted. The JMF
asphalt content may only be reduced if the production VlvIA l11eets or exceeds the minimum VMA requirement for
the mixture being produced.
Adjusm1ents will be made as a result of an interactive process between the Contractor, Engineer,
and District Materials Engineer. Consecutive requests for JTvIF adjustments, without production data, are not
allo\\'ed. The calculation of the moving average shall continue after the JMF has been approved.

Jl
JI\IF Adjustment for Proportion Change> 10%
If a JMF adjustment is requested for a proportion change exceeding 10% (frol11 the currently
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 \vith 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 \vithin twice the
requested JMF limits for percent asphalt binder, production air voids, and VMA. Individual gradation must be
within twice the requested JlvlF bands. The moving average values must be \vithin the control limits of Table
2360A-H. The calculation of the moving average shall continue after the change in proportions.
If the n1ixture meets the specified quality indicators, the request for JTvIF adjustment will be signed
by the District Materials 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 without production data is not allow'ed.
K
Corrective Action -- Percent Asphalt Binder Content, VMA, and Gradation and Production
Air Voids
When the moving average values trend toward the JMF lin1its, the Contractor shall take corrective
action. The corrective action taken shall be documented on sunm1ary sheets and, if applicable, a request for JMF
adjustment shall be subn1itted to the District Materials Engineer for review' and approval. All tests shall be part of
the project files and shall be included in the l110ving average calculations. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer
whenever the l110ving average values exceed the JMF limits.
L
Failing Ma terials
The detern1ination of price adjustrnents 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 l110re
than twice the JMF bands are considered failing. l\'loving average test results are considered failing when they
exceed the JMF limits.
If the l110ving 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 nuxture produced. The calculation of the moving average shall continue after the
stop in production.
Mixture produced where the moving average of four exceeds the JMF limits shall be considered
unsatisfactory and subject to requirements of Section 2360AL4, L5, L6, and L7. Individual test failures are
discussed in Section 2360AL1, L2, and L3.
When the total production of a mixmre type for the entire project requires less than four tests, a
l110ving 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 JMF limits: For t\VO
tests, establish the new J1vIF Iinuts by l11ultiplying the JTvIF limits listed in Table 2360A-H by lAI; 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 JMF 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 2360.4-M,
quality assurance/verification data shall be used in place of the Contractor's data to detern1ine the appropriate
payn1ent factor.

L1
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 will be used for acceptance. Isolated production air voids are
calculated by using the l11aximum nuxture specific gravity and the corresponding 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 l110ving 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 2360A-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
JMF 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 pa):l11ent. If the mixture is to be removed and
replaced, the Contractor at his expense will perforrn the work. To better define the area to be removed and replaced
the Engineer may require the Contractor to test inplace 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
Individ ual Failure at IVIixture Start-lip - V1\IA
At the start-up of nuxture production, before a moving average of four can be established, the first
three (3) individual test results for VMA \vill be used for acceptance. After 4 samples have been tested and a
moving average offour can be established, acceptance will be based on individual and moving average VMA.
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 2360A-L3 shall apply to all tonnage placed from the sample
point of the failing test until the sample point when 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.

When individual air voids are less than 1.0~-o or greater than 7.0% the Engineer will decide
whether the nuxture is subject to removal and replacement or reduced payment. If the mixture is to be removed and
replaced, the Contractor at his expense will perfonn the work. To better define the area to be removed and replaced
the Engineer may require the Contractor to test inplace nuxture. 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 i\lixture 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, conesponding to
the moving average failure is within the JMF limits. If the individual air void is not within the JMF limit, the
lnixture will be considered unacceptable and the Engineer will decide whether the nuxture is subject to removal and
replacement or reduced payment. The Engineer may waive the penalty if the isolated air void conesponding to the
individual air void is within the JMF linut. If the mixture is to be removed and replaced, the Contractor at his
expense \vill perforrn the work. Reduced payn1ent \vill be 50 percent of the Contract bid price. TOlmage subjected
to replacel11ent or reduced payn1ent shall be calculated as the tons placed from the sample point of the failing
moving average result and conesponding individual air void beyond the JMF limit to the sampling point when the
individual test result is back within the JMF limit.
L5
Moving Average Failure at Mixture Start-Up - Vi\lA
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 VMA, conesponding to
the moving average failure is within the D,'IF linuts. If the individual VMA is not within the JMF limit, the mixture
will be considered unacceptable and the Engineer will decide whether the mixture is subj ect to removal and
replacement or reduced payment. If the nuxture is to be removed and replaced, the Contractor at his expense will
perforrn the work. Reduced payn1ent will be 75 percent of the Contract bid price. Tonnage subjected to

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
:.1r;/DOT's the Owner's verification sample, provided to the Contractor. The Contractor is required to test and use
this verification companion sample as par1 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 23 60AE,
excluding sections E9, E 1 0, Ell, and E 12, on a daily basis per nux type. The verification cornpanion 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 Veritication sample for compliance with allowable tolerances as specified in Table 2360A-M. These include
the nuxture properties of Gmm (mixnrre 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 2360AE7 and 2360AE8 the one test per v,leek 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
2360AElb or 2360AElc. Asphalt content from the verification test result must be used to determine VlvIA.
The Departn;,:nt's O"mer's verification test results will be available to the Contractor within 2
working days from the time the sample is delivered to the District Llbor::rtory Engineer for Gmmmixture rnax
gravity, Gmb nuxture bulk gravity, air voids (calculated), asphalt binder content, VMA (calculated). Gradation and
crushing results \vill be provided to the Contractor within 3 MniDOT 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 will be compared for allowable tolerances as specitied in Table 2360.4-M. rfthe tolerances
are met, the verification process is complete.
Page 30 of 48
2360/2350 Combined Specification
December 1, 2004
If the tolerances betw'een Department 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, volul11etric properties will be
recalculated (11.
When tolerances from the verification sample retests are not met, an investigation will begin
inm1ediately to detennine the cause of the difference. Testing equipment, procedures, worksheets, gyratory
specimen height sheets, and personnel will be reviewed to deternune the source of the problem. The ~
:\fnterials Engineer may also require a hot-cold comparison of lnixture properties be performed. The procedure for
hot-cold comparisons is as follows:
The hot-cold comparison sample will be split into three representative p011ions. The Engineer \vill
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 ~.hterials
Laboratory Engineer. On the same day and at approximately the same time the Contractor and the
District :.bterials L~boratory Engineer will heat their samples to compaction temperature and
compact them. From this inforn1ation a calibration factor \vill be developed to compare the
specific gravity of the hot compacted samples to reheated compacted samples. Each test will
involve a minimul11 of three !vIarshall specimens or t\VO gyratory specimens. This test may be
repeated at the discretion of the Contractor or the District :.bterials 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 0 f the mixture portions to be tested for maximum specific
gravity (Rice Test) may result in additional asphalt being absorbed in the aggregate.
The Departmel:t 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 Owner will test
QA samples subsequent to the verification sample until tolerances are met. Acceptance will be based on QC data
with substitution of Depo.rtment Owner test results for those parameters out of tolerance (I). 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 analysis of data, it is detennined there is a bias in the test results, the Engineer will determine
which results are appropriate and shall govern. Methods to analyze data for detennination of bias are on
file in the Bitununous Office.

agent in accordance with Section 2360.5B. Each truck shall be equipped with a cover of canvas or other suitable
material to protect the mixture from weather. The cover shall extend at least 300 mm [1 foot] over the sides and be
attached to tie-dow.ns unless the truck is furnished with a mechanical or automated covering system, which prevents
airf10\v underneath by stretching the cover tightly on the top of or inside the sideboards. The cover shall be used
when directed by the Engineer.
C2c
Motor Graders
Motor graders shall be self-propelled and have pneumatic-tires with a tread depth of 13 mm
[112 inch] or less. They shall be equipped with a blade not less than 3 m [10 feet] in length and shall have a
wheelbase of not less than 4.5 m [15 feet].
D
Treatment of the Surface
Dl
Tack Coat
An asphalt tack coat shall be applied to existing asphalt and concrete surfaces, and to the surface
of each course or lift constructed, except for the final course or lift, according to Mn/DOT 2357. Emulsified asphalt
tack coats shall be allowed to break, as indicated by a color change from brO\vn to black, before a subsequent lift is
placed.
The contact surfaces of all fixed struchlres and the edge of the in-place mixture in all courses at
transverse joints and longihldinal joints shall be given a uniform but not excessive coating of liquid asphalt or
emulsified asphalt before placing the adjoining nuxture.
E
COl11paction 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 nUxture or newly rolled pavement having a surface
temperature exceeding 600C [140oF]. Rolling with steel-wheeled rollers shall be discontinued if it produces
excessive crushing or pulverizing of the aggregate or displacement of the nuxture.

2360/2350 Combined Specification
December 1, 2004
To prevent adhesion of the nuxture to the steel roller wheels, the contact surfaces of the wheels
shall be kept properly moistened using water or a water solution containing small quantities of a detergent or other
approved material.
To secure a tnle surface, variations such as depressions or high areas, which may develop during
rolling operations, and lean, fat or segregated areas shall be corrected by removing and replacing the material in the
defective area. All such corrections shall be accomplished as directed by the Engineer at no expense to the
Department O\\ner.
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
nuxtllre placel11ent 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 nill1 [6 inches] measured
transversely from the longitudinal joints in the previously placed lift. When the wearing course is constnlcted 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 [1/8 inch]) than the previously placed strip.
\Vhen 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 j oint line) before any rolling is
done.
G
Asphalt Mixture Production (FOB Dcpartment Owner Trucks)
For asphalt nuxture 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 Dcpartment OW11er 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 weeks prior to completion of the wearing course constmction. The Engineer will not accept the asphalt
nuxture if it is inappropriate for the Department';:; Owner's intended use.

PAVEMENT DENSITY
A
General
All pavements will be compacted in accordance with the f..'Iaximum Density Method unless
otherwise specified in the Contract special provisions or as noted in Section 2360.6C.
B
Maximum Density Method
All courses or layers of plant mixed asphalt nuxtures 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
(Gmn,) based on the individual lot. The Maximu111 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. If three 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
(~,'O Gmm) obtained by dividing the average bulk specific gravity for the lot by the maximum specific gravity
multiplied by 100, (maximu111 specific gravity basis is the average Gmrn of QC tests done on the day that the
individual lot \vas paved as described above). Detemunation of the bulk specific gravity of the cores shall be in
accordance with AASHTO T-166, MnJDOT modified. For coarse graded mixtures the Engineer may require
detenrunation of bulk specific gravity of the cores be in accordance with ASTM D 1188, MnJDOT modified. ASTM
D6752 Mn/DOT modified (Corelok) is also allowed for: determination of bulk specific gravity of coarse graded
rnixtures. Selection of the test method to determine coarse graded mixture bulk specific gravity shall be agreed upon
at the time of nux design submittal. Both the Contractor and :.In!DOT Owner shall use the same test 111ethod to
detemune bulk specific gravity. The detenrunation of coarse and fine graded mixtures \vill be based on the
percentage of material passing the 2.365 mm sieve [#8] 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 detennination. Only pneumatic tired or static steel rollers are penrutted for any
compactive effort perforn1ed between 6 and 8 hours after mixture placement.
Compacted mixtures 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 1110re than 50% of lots on
multiple days which fail to meet minimum density requirements. Production shall be stopped until the source of the
proble111 is determined and corrective action is taken to bring the \vork into compliance with specified minimum
required density.

Required Density
ivIinimum density requirements for both g}Tatory (SP) and Marshall designed nuxtures 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 Maximum Density Method. When shoulders are required to be compacted
by the IvIaximum Density Method and are paved in a separate operation or have a different required nunimum
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 narrow 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 ?vIethod. Mixture compacted under Ordinary Compaction is excluded from lot density
require111ents and that tonnage is also excluded from incentive/disincentive payment.
If the Plans or Special Provisions indicate a narrO\v shoulder is to be compacted by the Maximum
Density l\lethod, the minimum required density is listed in Table 2360.6-B2. rfthe nunimum 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 sho\\TI in Table 2360.6-B2a. The Engineer may
require additional density lots be established to isolate areas affected by equipment malfunctiorubreakdo\\n, 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 Dcpartment Owners Street Inspector inm1ediately upon c0111pletion of coring and sa\ving. The random locations
will be detem1ined 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 with the outer edge of the core barrel 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 barrel ISO l1ID1 =
12.5 nm1 [6 inches = 0.5 inch] from the edge of the top of the mat (ex. center of 100 nml [4 inch] core barrel
200 mm::!: 12.5 mm [8 ::!: 0.5 inches] from the edge of the top of the mat). Cores will not be taken \vithin 300 mm
[1 foot] of any unsupponed edge The Contractor shall be responsible for maintenance of traffic, coring, patching the
core holes, and sa\ving 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 dl)' and immersed weight of the cores.
Density detemunation 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 \vill cut pavement samples from the completed work with power 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 \vithin 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 l1ID1 [4 inch] minimum
outer diameter coring device. All samples shall be marked \vith 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 transp0l1ed to the
D:::partment's Field Llboriltory or District :-,btcrials 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 Dcpartment Owner 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 Owner result with the non-companion result for the lot density acceptance. If,
through analysis of data, it is detem1ined there is a bias in the test results, the Engineer will detem1ine which results
are appropriate and shall govern.
If the GOlb tolerance fails in more than 2 lots in a day of either consistently high or low differences
bet\veen the companion cores then an investigation to detem1ine the source of errors 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.

l\Iaximum Density Acceptance and Payment Schedule
The density of compacted nuxture 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 ASTIvI D 1188 is within == 0.030 of the 5ffite Owner companion Gmb
value. Payment for lot densities of compacted mixture shall be deternuned from Table 2360.6-B4 or 2360.6-B4A.
Incentive and disincentive payments are for both wearing and non-\vearing courses.
When the density requirement has been reduced by one percent, per Table 2360.6-B2, foomote 1
& 2, payment adjustments for lot densities will be made as specified in Table 2360.6-B4A. 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-B4,
including incentives, for first lift constructed 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 \vill be in accordance with Table 2360.6-B2 (excluding footnote 2) and Table 2360.6-B4, and will remain in
effect for the duration of nuxture placement on that lift. The Contractor will also be responsible for compliance with
any construction requirements on subsequent lifts.

THICK1,\;ESS AND SURFACE SMOOTHNESS REQUIREMENTS
A
Thickness
After compaction the thickness of each lift shall be within a tolerance of 6 nm1 [1/4 inch] of the
thickness shown in the Plans, except that, if automatic grade controls are used, this thickness requirement will not
apply to the first lift placed. This thickness requirement will 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 mini111um 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 111easurements. 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 pennissible thickness, the
materials used in the excess nuxture above that required to construct that portion of the lift to the Plan thickness plus
6 mm [1/4 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
torn 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 IS mm [1/2 inch]
of the elevations and grades established by the Engineer. This requirement shall also apply to the
ftrst lift placed other than leveling when automatic controls are used.
(2) The surface of the ftnal two lifts placed shall show no variation greater than 6 l1ill1 [1/4 inch] from
the edge ofa 3 m [10 foot] straightedge laid parallel to or at right angles to the centerline.

centerline. '
(3) After final compaction, all final lift asphalt wearing surfaces adjacent to concrete pavements shall
be slightly higher (but not to exceed 6 l1ill1 [1/4 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 nun [1/4 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 nm1 [114 inch] fro111 the edge of a 3 m [10 foot] straightedge centered longitudinally across
the transverse joint. The Engineer may require correction by diamond grinding when material is
placed outside the above described linutations.
(5) The transverse slope of the surface of each lift, exclusive of the shoulder wearing lift, shall not

Measurement
Smootlmess will be measured with a 7.62 m [25 foot] California type profilograph or an Inertial
Profiler (IP), \\:hich 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 will 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 deternune the length in kilometers [nllles] for each mainline
traffic lane. The profilograph will be operated at a speed no greater than a normal walk, no greater than 6 knvhr
[4 miles per hour]. r.'Iotive 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 Bituminous 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 pave111ent surface will be removed by the Contractor prior
to testing. The pavement surface will be divided into sections which represent continuous placement. A section will
ternunate 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 seg111ents of 0.1 km [0.1 mile]. A segment \vill 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 nm1 in 3.028 m [1/4 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 subnutted trace.
The Contractor will submit a final evaluation generated from approved software, to the Engineer
within five days after all mainline pavement placement. Software is available from the l\'ln/DOT Bituminous Office
at www.mrr.dot.state.nm.us/pavementbitllminous/bihlminous.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 nux 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 sunm1ary at the bott0111 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
protile index and bU111ps.
The Contractor will be responsible for all traffic control associated with the smoothness testing.

Any portion of the project may be retested if the Engineer determines that the Contractor's test
results are in question. If results are found to be inaccurate, the Contractor will be charged at a rate of S 155.34 per
lane km [S250 per lane mile] that is retested, with a minimum charge ofS500.00. If the results are found to be
accurate, the Dep:J.rtment Owner will be paying the Contractor at a rate of S 155.34 per lane km [S250 per lane n1ile]
that is retested, with a minimum charge ofS500.00.
C4
Profile Index
The profilograph or IP shall be equipped with automatic data reduction capabilities for
detem1ining the profile index (PI) unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. The profi10graph 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 corresponding
International Roughness Index (IRI) for each segment shall be submitted to the Bitumino,tS Office Owner. The
index will be determined by summing the vertical deviations outside either a 5 nm1 [0.2 inch] blanking band or
outside a zero blanking band depending on the number of lifts in the construction. The units of this index are nun
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 occurrences as one event.
C5
Surface Correction
All areas represented by deviations of 28 nm1 [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 correct 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, will be
allowed only when approved by the Engineer. The Contractor \vill be assessed a penalty for dips or bumps of 10.2
to 25 mm [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 smootlmess. Corrected dips or bumps will be considered satisfactory when the
profilogram sho\vs the dips or bumps are less than 10.2 llill1 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 corrective areas.
Corrective \York 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
corrective actions by nulling and inlay or overlay shall meet the specifications for ride quality over the entire length
ofthe correction, including the first and last 15 m [50 feet]. Bumps or dips in excess of 10.2 mm [0.4 inches] at
transversejoints at are:J.s of corrective actions utilizing overlay or milling and inlay, shall be removed by diamond
grinding. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer prior to conm1encement of the corrective action If the surface is
corrected by overlay, inlay or replacement, the surface correction shall begin and end with a transverse saw cut.
If the smoothness evaluation indicates that corrective work is necessary for more than 50% of a
segment, surface correction will be limited to mill and inlay (40 mm [1 1/2 inch] min).
All corrective work shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. After all required correction
work is completed, a tlnal profile index shall be determined. Corrective work and re-evaluation will be at the
Contractor's expense.

C6
Payment
The cost of certified smoothness testing and associated traffic control will be incidental to the cost
of the 'vVear Course Mixture.
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 nux price for pavement smoothness evaluated under Table
2360.7-C6C. The maximum allow'able net incentive (total incentive minus disincentive) payment shall be calculated
by multiplying the total tons paved by the mix hire price by the appropriate incentive cap. Pay adjustrnents for
incentives will only be based on the initial Profile Index before any corrective work has been perforrned. Pavement
that contains corrective action for profile or bumps is not eligible for incentive pay. These payments or assessments
will be based on the follO\ving 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 [0.4 to 1.0
inch] that is not corrected. Penalties, based on the table the profile index is evaluated under, are as follows:
Table 2360.7-C6A: S900
Table 2360.7-C6B: 5675
Table 2360.7-C6C: 5450
Bumps or dips resulting from a construction joint \vill be assessed a 5900 penalty, regardless of
the table used for evaluation of pavement smootlmess.
The Engineer may, at his discretion, assess a penalty in lieu of requiring the Contractor to take
corrective action \vhen the profile index for a segment indicates corrective action is necessary.
Penalties, based on the table the profile index is evaluated under, are as follows:

4.02 Subs/llface and Ph.vsical Conditions
A. Reports and Drawings: The Supplementary
Conditions identify:
1. those reports of explorations and tests of
subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Site that
Engineer has used in preparing the Contract Documents;
and
2. those drawings of physical conditions in or
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 Oil 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
for Contractor's purposes, including, but not limited to,
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, OpllltOnS, 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 Subs/llface 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 Revinv: 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 Work;
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 such 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

c. Contractor failed to give the written notice as
required by Paragraph 4.03.A.
3. If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree
on entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of
any adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times,

Paragraph 10.05. However, Owner and Engineer, and any
of their Related Entities shall not be liable to Contractor
for any claims, costs, losses, or 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
Contractor on or in connection with any other project or
anticipated project.
4.04 Underground Facilities
A. Shmvn or Indicated: The information and data
shown or indicated in the Contract Documents with
respect to existing Underground Facilities at or
contiguous to the Site is based on information and data
furnished to Owner or Engineer by the owners of such
Underground Facilities, including Owner, or by others.
Unless it is otherwise expressly provided in the Sup-
plementary Conditions:
1. Owner and Engineer shall not be responsible
for the accuracy or completeness of any such information
or data; and
2. the cost of all of the following will be
included in the Contract Price, and Contractor shall have
full responsibility for:
a. reviewing and checking all such information
and data,
b. locating all Underground Facilities shown or
indicated in the Contract Documents,
c. coordination of the Work with the owners of
such Underground Facilities, including Owner,
during construction, and
d. the safety and protection of all such Under-
ground Facilities and repairing any damage
thereto resulting from the Work.
B. Not Shown or Indicated
promptly review the Underground Facility and determine
the extent, if any, to which a change is required in the
Contract Documents to reflect and document the
consequences of the existence or location of the Under-
ground Facility. During such time, Contractor shall be
responsible for the safety and protection of such
Underground Facility.
2. If Engineer concludes that a change in the
Contract Documents is required, a Work Change
Directive or a Change Order will be issued to reflect and
document such consequences. An equitable adjustment
shall be made in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or
both, to the extent that they are attributable to the
existence or location of any Underground Facility that
was not shown or indicated or not shown or indicated
with reasonable accuracy in the Contract Documents and
that Contractor did not know of and could not reasonably
have been expected to be aware of or to have anticipated.
If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on
entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any
such adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times,
Owner or Contractor may make a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05.
4.05 Reference Points
A. Owner shall provide engineering surveys to
establish reference points for construction which in
Engineer's judgment are necessary to enable Contractor
to proceed with the Work. Contractor shall be responsible
for laying out the Work, shall protect and preserve the
established reference points and property monuments, and
shall make no changes or relocations without the prior
written approval of Owner. Contractor shall report to
Engineer whenever any reference point or property
monument is lost or destroyed or requires relocation

and drawings, but such reports and drawings are not
Contract Documents. Such "technical data" is identified
in the SLtpplementary 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. If an Underground Facility is uncovered or
revealed at or contiguous to the Site which was not shO\vn
or indicated, or not shown or indicated with reasonable
accuracy in the Contract Documents, Contractor shall,
promptly after becoming aware thereof and before further
disturbing conditions affected thereby or performing any
Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency as
required by Paragraph 6.16.A), identify the owner of such
Underground Facility and give written notice to that
owner and to Owner and Engineer. Engineer will

ARTICLE 12 - CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE;
CHA1~GE OF CONTRACT TIMES
12.0 I Change of Comrac[ Price
A The Contract Price may only be changed by a
Change Order. Any Claim for an adjustment in the
Contract Price shall be based on written notice submitted
by the party making the Claim to the Engineer and the
other party to the Contract in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 10.05.
B. The value of any Work covered by a Change
Order or of any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract
Price will be determined as follows:
I. where the Work involved is covered by unit
prices contained in the Contract Documents, by applica-
tion of such unit prices to the quantities of the items
involved (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11.03);
or
2. where the Work involved is not covered by
unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by a
mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an
allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily 10
accordance with Paragraph 12.01.C2); or
3. where the Work involved is not covered by
unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
agreement to a lump sum is not reached under Paragraph
12.01.B.2, on the basis of the Cost of the Work
(determined as provided in Paragraph 11.01) plus a
Contractor's fee for overhead and profit (determined as
provided in Paragraph 12.01.C).
C Contrac[or's Fee: The Contractor's fee for
overhead and profit shall be determined as follows:
1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or
2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee
based on the following percentages of the various portions
of the Cost of the Work:
a. for costs incurred under Paragraphs 11.01.Al
and 11.01.A.2, the Contractor's fee shall be 15
percent;
b. for costs incurred under Paragraph 11.01.A3,
the Contractor's fee shall be five percent;
c. where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on
the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no
fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraph
12.01.C2.a is that the Subcontractor who
actually performs the Work, at whatever tier, will
be paid a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred
by such Subcontractor under Paragraphs
11.01.A1 and 11.01.A2 and that any higher tier
Subcontractor and Contractor will each be paid a
fee of five percent of the amount paid to the next
lower tier Subcontractor;
d. no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs
itemized under Paragraphs 11.01.A4, 11.01.A5,
and 11.0 1.B;
e. the amount of credit to be allowed by
Contractor to Owner for any change which
results in a net decrease in cost will be the
amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a
deduction in Contractor's fee by an amount equal
to five percent of such net decrease; and
f. when both additions and credits are involved
in anyone change, the adjustment in
Contractor's fee shall be computed on the basis
of the net change in accordance with Paragraphs
12.01.C2.a through 12.01.C2.e, inclusive.
12.02
Change of Contract Times
A The Contract Times may only be changed by
a Change Order. Any Claim for an adjustment in the

00700 - 32
by the party making the Claim to the Engineer and the
other party to the Contract in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 10.05.
B. Any adjustment of the Contract Times
covered by a Change Order or any Claim for an
adjustment in the Contract Times will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 12.
12.03 Delays
A. Where Contractor is prevented from
completing any part of the Work within the Contract
Times due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the
Contract Times will be extended in an amount equal to
the time lost due to such delay if a Claim is made therefor
as provided in Paragraph 12.02.A. Delays beyond the
control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to,
acts or neglect by Owner, acts or neglect of utility owners
or other contractors performing other work as contemplat-
ed by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal
weather conditions, or acts of God.
B. If Owner, Engineer, or other contractors or
utility owners performing other work for Owner as
contemplated by Article 7, or anyone for whom Owner is
responsible, delays, disrupts, or interferes with the
performance or progress of the Work, then Contractor
shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract
Price or the Contract Times , or both. Contractor's
entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract Times is
conditioned on such adjustment being essential to
Contractor's ability to complete the Work within the
Contract Times.
C If Contractor is delayed in the performance or
progress of the Work by fire, flood, epidemic, abnormal
weather conditions, acts of God, acts or failures to act of
utility owners not under the control of Owner, or other
causes not the fault of and beyond control of Owner and
Contractor, then Contractor shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment in Contract Times, if such
adjustment is essential to Contractor's ability to complete
the Work within the Contract Times. Such an adjustment
shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for the
delays described in this Paragraph 12.03.C.
D. Owner, Engineer and the Related Entities of
each of them shall not be liable to Contractor for any
claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but not
limited to all fees and charges of Engineers, architects,

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

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

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.

sion of Contractor's tools, appliances, construction
equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in

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

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

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 Is.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 l4.02.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.s.a through 14.02.B.s.c or Paragraph
Is.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.!.
14.03 Contractor's Warranty afTitle
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) retlecting such 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
issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

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

i111mediately 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

Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full
and an affidavit 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 revievi 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 At"-rD
TERMINATION
15.01 Owner J'vlay 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 iVlay Tenninatefor 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 equip111ent. 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.
Copyright <9 2002 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. All rights reserved.
00700 - 39
3. complete the Work as Owner 111ay deem
expedient.
C. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph
IS.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
IS.02.e, 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 5.0 LA, the termination procedures of that bond
shall supersede the provisions of Paragraphs IS.02.B, and
lS.02.C.
15.03 Owner lV/ay 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,
terminate the Contract. In such case, Contractor shall be
paid for (without duplication of any items):
1. completed and acceptable Work executed in
accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the
effective date of termination, including fair and
reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work;
2. expenses sustained prior to the effective date
of termination in performing services and furnishing
labor, materials, or equipment as required by the Contract
Documents in connection with uncompleted Work, plus
fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such
expenses;
3. 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 in settlement of terminated contracts with
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and others; and
4. reasonable expenses directly attributable to
termination.
B. Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss
of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss
arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.04 Contractor lvIay Stop Work or Terminate
A. If, through no act or fault of Contractor, (i)
the Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days
by Owner or under an order of court or other public
authority, or (ii) Engineer fails to act on any Application
for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or (iii)
Owner fails for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally
determined to be due, then Contractor may, upon seven
days written notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided
Owner or Engineer do not remedy such suspension or
failure within that time, terminate the Contract and
recover from Owner payment on the same terms as
provided in Paragraph 15.03.
B. In lieu of terminating the Contract and
without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if
Engineer has failed to act on an Application for Payment
within 30 days after it is submitted, or Owner has failed
for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined
to be due, Contractor may, seven days after written notice
to Owner and Engineer, stop the Work until payment is
made of all such amounts due Contractor, including
interest thereon. The provisions of this Paragraph 15.04
are not intended to preclude Contractor from making a
Claim under Paragraph 10.05 for an adjustment in
Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for
expenses or damage directly attributable to Contractor's
stopping the Work as permitted by this Paragraph.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made this 25 day of March, 2005, by and between~
City of New Hope (hereinafter called "Client") and BRAUN INTERTEC CORPORATION,
a Minnesota corporation (hereinafter called "Braun Intertec"), sets forth the terms and conditions
pursuant to which Braun Intertec may, from time to time, provide Client with professional
servIces.
The contract documents that comprise the entire agreement between Client and
Braun Intertec concerning the Work consist of this Agreement, the Proposal Letter, insurance
certificates, change orders, and additional documents specific to the particular job, as listed in the
Proposal Letter, and together they set forth the terms and conditions under which Braun Intertec
will provide Client with the Services described therein.
All contract documents described in this section are a part of this contract, though they
may not be attached to this contract or repeated herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained, Client and Braun Intertec hereby agree as follows:
1. Braun Intertec Responsibilities.
1.1 Services. Client may, in its sole discretion, from time to time request that
Braun Intertec perform professional services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If
Braun Intertec is unwilling or unable to perform the requested Services, Braun Intertec shall
promptly notify Client's representative. Client will authorize such work by signing a Proposal
Letter prepared by Braun Intertec at Client's request. Said Proposal Letter will reference this
Agreement, and, if authorized by Client, Braun Intertec shall perform the Services authorized
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in a professional manner that is consistent with the
degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar circun1stances by reputable members
of its profession practicing in the same locality.
1.2 Timing. Braun Intertec shall perform the Services in each Proposal Letter in the
sequence and time that is required by the progress and nature of the Project. If Braun Intertec is
delayed in the performance of the Services by actions or neglect of Client, by changes ordered in
the Services or by other causes beyond the control of Braun Intertec, then the time shall be
extended in \vTiting and compensation to Braun Intertec will be adjusted as agreed between the
parties.
1.3 Budget. Braun Intertec agrees that its compensation for Services authorized
pursuant to this Agreement shall be based upon its then current Schedule of Charges, which is
adjusted annually, or as may be othenvise negotiated by Client and Braun Intertec and reflected
on the Proposal Letter. Estimates of construction or remediation costs will be based on
information available to Braun Intertec and on its experience and knowledge. Such estimates are
an exercise of professional judgment and are not guaranteed or warranted. Actual costs may vary,
and Client should allow a contingency in addition to estimated costs. Braun Intertec will not
exceed the contract price provided in the Proposal Letter payable to Braun Intertec for
performing the Work without Client's written authorization. Client reserves the right to increase
or decrease the quantities of work without changes in the Unit Prices. Client will issue Change
Orders to modify contract time commensurate with approved changes in the Services.
1.4 Coordination. Braun Intertec shall coordinate its work with the services provided
by others relative to the Project. Braun Intertec shall be available to Client for general
consultation relative to the Project. Consultant shall attend all meetings relative to the Project
that are reasonably required to fully perform the Services.
1.5 Ownership of Documents. The reports, notes, calculations, and other documents
prepared by Braun Intertec in the performance of the Services are the property of Braun Intertec,
and Braun Intertec shall retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including the
copyright thereto. Reports produced by Braun Intertec are for use by Client only for the purposes
disclosed to us. Client and the owner of the Project shall each have a royalty-free license to
reproduce, distribute and otherwise use said reports or any part thereof or information contained
therein for addition to or remodeling of the Project. However, Client may not transfer
Braun Intertec reports to others or use them for a purpose for which they were not prepared
without the written approval of Braun Intertec, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
2. Indemnification and Insurance.
2.1 Indemnity. Braun Intertec shall indemnify and hold Client and the owner ofthe
Project harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, danlages, losses and expense, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from the performance of the Services to the
comparative extent they are caused by or attributable to the negligent act, error or omission of
Braun Intertec or anyone employed by Braun Intertec or for whose acts Braun Intertec is legally
responsible. Braun Interiec will not be liable unless Client has notified Braun Interiec of the

MOTION ACCEPTING PROPOSALL.ffi6M BRAUN INTERTEC FOR PERFORMING SOIL BORINGS
AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
FOR A POND AT THE VICTORY PARK WETLAND SITE
(IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 747)
REQUESTED ACTION
Staff is recommending that Council pass a motion accepting a proposal from Braun Intertec to complete six soil borings for
$1,350, and authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications for the proposed pond and storm water infrastructure
improvements at Victory Park's wetland site.
POLICY/PAST PRACTICE
A new pond for this location is part of the city's 1996 Surface Water Management Plan.
BACKGROUND
The soil borings are recommended to determine the extent of debris that may be buried under the proposed site of the
new pond. In the past, work in and around many of the city's park areas have exposed debris that had been buried many
years earlier. Results of the initial six borings will be reviewed by the engineers to determine if additional borings should be
considered. The quotes from all companies also contain a price per foot if additional borings are necessary. Braun
Intertec's quote of $9.00 per foot was low bid for this work, too. In order to limit unexpected costs during the construction of
a project, information about possible buried debris is necessary to prepare plans and specifications as accurately as
possible for bidding purposes.
The proposed pond construction and storm infrastructure improvements include a new pond at the far southeast corner of
the Victory Park wetland, and improvements to the storm water system from East Research Center Road to the pond. The
proposed pond construction and storm water infrastructure improvements would improve the water quality of the storm
water runoff flowing into the wetland and also help alleviate the flooding that currently occurs at the East Research Center
Road and Boone Avenue intersection during rain events.
FUNDING
The engineer's preliminary construction cost estimate is $375,000 for construction of the pond and the storm water
infrastructure improvements. Funding would be through the city's storm water fund and storm water pond fees in the
amount of $37,500 that have been received from the Woodbridge Development. In addition, the city has been awarded a
grant in the amount of $9,450 to be used for restoration expenses.
ATTACHMENTS
Memorandums from the city engineer and a copy of Braun Intertec's quote are attached.

Re: Victory Park Wetland Site
Authorization to Prepare Plans and Specifications
City Project No. 747
BRAA # 34-03-149
Dear Guy:
An area located at Victory Park along East Research Center Road has been selected as a site for
the construction of a water quality pond. The construction of the proposed pond and
improvements to the storm sewer system adjacent to the proposed pond location are in
accordance with New Hope's Surface Water Management Plan.
The proposed construction includes the grading of the wetland feature, improvements to the
storm sewer system between the intersection of Boone Ave and East Research Center Road and
the wetland area, and all related restoration. Several benefits could be realized from the
completion of this proposed construction, including:
III
Improved water quality for existing flows.
SatisfYing water treatment requirements for the additional runoff generated by
the Woodbridge development.
Decreased severity of the flooding issues that occur at the intersection of East
Research Center Rd and Boone Ave.
iii
iii
The preliminary construction cost estimate for the project is $375,000. Additional sources are
available to assist in the funding for this project.
An agreement with the Woodbridge development was made during the plan approval process for
the construction at 5650 Boone Ave. In lieu of constructing a pond on the site of construction,
Woodbridge agreed to forward the costs that would have been incurred had a pond be built, and
direct them to make improvements further downstream. It was agreed upon that Woodbridge
would contribute $37,500 for this proposed project.
This site has also been approved to receive grant money, similar to that given for the 9200 49th
Avenue Pond, to go toward the restoration of the wetland area. The grant money available for
this project totals $9,450.

Re: Soil Boring Quote Recommendations
Pond improvements on the Victory Park property are proposed. A new pond area would be constructed near the
southeast comer of the wetland area of the park property. This pond is in accordance with the New Hope's Surface
Water Management Plan. It would also assist in the efforts to address the flooding issues at the intersection of Boone
Ave N and East Research Center Rd and serve to satisfy the ponding requirements of the Woodbridge Senior
Cooperative development on the comer of Boone Ave N and Bass Lake Road.
Soil borings are required to determine if the soils present at the proposed pond location are suitable for the
construction of a pond. Also, it is suspected that buried debris exists at the location of the proposed pond. The boring
logs could help identify the presence, or extents, of this debris.
Proposals for performing 6 borings and presenting the results were sent out to three testing firms that provide the
service. All three quotes were submitted, the tabulated total quote amounts are shown below:

$1,600.00
$2,300.00

Braun Interiec returned the lowest quote at $1,350.00, and also has the lowest cost for perforn1ing any additional
boring, $9.00/FT, if deemed necessary. Braun Intertec is experience with work of this type and a reputable company.
It is recommended that the work could be given to Braun Intertec to perform the soil boring work.
