The contractor shall keep one set of drawings and Specifications in good order
available to the Engineer and to his representatives at the site of the work.
The Plans for the work will show conditions as they are supposed or believed
by the Engineer to exist; but it is not intended or to be inferred that the
conditions as shown thereon constitute a representation by the District or
its officers that such conditions are actually existent, nor shall the District
or any of its officers be liable for any loss sustained by the contractor as
a result of any variance of the conditions as shown on the Plans and the act-
ual conditions revealed during the progress of the work, or otherwise.
Carlsbad ""C" Standard Provisions - 3
(c) Conformity with Plans and Allowable Deviations; Finished surfaces in
all cases shall conform with the lines, elevations* grades* cross-sections*
and dimensions shown on the approved Plans* or if no specific elevations are
shown on the Plr.ns* the elevations and grades furnished by the Engineer shall
govern.
(d) Coordination of Plans and Specifications; The Specifications, Plans,
and all supplementary documents are essential parts of the contract, and a
requirement occurring in one is as binding as though occurring in all. They
are intended to be cooperative, to describe and provide for a complete work.
Plans shall govern over Specifications.
(e) Supervision by Contractor; The contractor shall give efficient
supervision to the work, using his best skill and attention. Unless personally
present on the premises where the work is done, the contractor shall designate
and keep an agent or representative on the work at all times during its pro-
gress* and any written or verbal directions or requests of the Engineer de-
livered to such representative shall have the same force and effect as if de-
livered to the contractor personally.
(f) Reference Points; The Engineer shall establish all reference points
and survey all lines and grades necessary for the execution of the work. The
contractor shall carefully preserve all reference points, bench marks and
other survey points and* in case of wilful or careless destruction* he shall
be liable for and charged with the cost of their replacement, and of any ex-
pense resulting from their unnecessary loss or disturbance. Such surveys shall
constitute instructions from the Engineer, and the contractor shall not pro-
ceed with the work until he has made timely demand upon the Engineer for such
surveys, and until all necessary points, lines and grades have been established.
<g) Inspection; The Engineer shall at all times have access to the work
during construction and shall be furnished with every reasonable facility for
ascertaining full knowledge respecting the progress, workmanship and charac-
ter of materials used and employed in the work.
Whenever the contractor varies the period during which work is carried on each
day, he shall give due notice to the Engineer so that proper inspection may be
provided. Any work done in the absence of the Engineer will be subject to
rejection.
No valves, fittings or other materials shall be installed until inspected and
approved by the Engineer or his representative. All installations which are
to be backfilled shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer prior to
backfilling and the contractor shall give due notice in advance of backfill-
ing to the Engineer so that proper inspection may be provided.
The inspection of the work shall not relieve the contractor of any of his
obligations to fulfill the contract as prescribed. Defective worlc shall be
made good, and unsuitable materials may be rejected notwithstanding the fact
that such defective work and unsuitable materials have been previously over-
looked by the Engineer and accepted.
Carlsbad "C" Standard Provisions - 4
(h) Temporary Suspension of Work; The Engineer shall have the authority
to suspend the work wholly or in part for such time as he may deem necessary
due to the failure on the part of the contractor to carry out orders given*
or to perform any provision of the contract. The contractor shall immediately
comply with the written order of the Engineer to suspend the work wholly or in
part. The work shall be resumed when methods or defective work are corrected
as ordered or approved in writing by the Engineer.
In the event that a suspension of work is ordered as provided above, such
suspension of work shall not relieve the contractor of his responsibility to
complete the work within the time limit set forth in Section I* of the Special
Provisions, and shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for
completion, and further, such suspension of work shall not entitle the contrac-
tor to any additional compensation.
(i) Errors or Discrepancies Noted by Contractor; If the contractor,
either before commencing work or in the course of the work, finds any dis-
crepancy between the Specifications and the drawings, or between either and
the physical conditions at the site of the work, or finds any error or omission
in any of the drawings or in any survey, he shall promptly notify the Engineer
in writing of such discrepancy, error or omission. If the contractor observes
that any drawings or Specifications are at variance with any applicable law,
ordinance, regulation, order or decree, he shall promptly notify the Engineer
in writing of such conflict.
The Engineer, on receipt of any such notice, shall promptly investigate the
circumstances and give appropriate instructions to the contractor. Until such
instructions are given, any work done by the contractor, either directly or
indirectly after his discovery of such error, discrepancy or conflict, will be
at his own risk and he shall bear all costs arising therefrom.
(j) Equipment; The contractor must furnish adequate equipment to per-
form properly the work in a workmanlike manner in accordance with these Speci-
fications. Such equipment must be in a good state of repair and maintained in
such state during the progress of the work. No worn or obsolete equipment
shall be used, and in no case shall the maker's rating of capacity for any
equipment be exceeded.
(k) Shop Drawings; The contractor shall at his own expense furnish for
the approval of the Engineer any and all shop drawings required by the Speci-
fications or that may be called for by the Engineer, of any and all material,
work and equipment he proposes to use. These shop drawings shall be checked
by the Engineer and returned to the contractor within five (5) working days of
their receipt by the Engineer. All shop drawings shall be submitted in quad-
ruplicate, accompanied by a letter of transmittal, and shall be addressed to
the Engineer for approval. The letter of transmittal shall give a list of the
numbers of the drawings submitted. All drawings must be marked \vith the name
of the project and the name of the Contractor and be numbered consecutively.
All drawings must be complete in every respect.
Carlsbad "C" Standard Provisions - 5
The contractor shall make such corrections as shall be required by the Engin-
eer and receive the Engineer's stamp of approval before commencing the work in-
volved. If the shop drawings show variations from the contract requirements
because of standard shop practices or other reasons* the contractor shall make
specific mention of such variations in his letter of transmittal in order that
(if acceptable) suitable action may be taken for proper adjustment of the con-
tract; otherwise, the contractor will not be relieved of the responsibility for
executing the work in accordance with the contract, even though the shop draw-
ings have been approved. Approval of shop drawings will be general and shall
not relieve the contractor from the responsibility for proper fitting and con-
struction of the work, nor from furnishing the material and work required by
the contract which may not be indicated in the shop drawings when approved;
neither does it relieve him from responsibility for errors in shop drawings.
SECTION IV - CONTROL OF MATERIAL
(a) Quality of Materials; All equipment, materials and supplies to be
incorporated in the work shall be new unless otherwise specified. Unless
otherwise specifically provided for in the Specifications, all workmanship,
equipment, material and articles incorporated in the work covered by the
contract are to be of the best available grade of their respective kind.
Whenever in the Specifications any material, process or article is indicated
or specified by grade, patent or proprietary name, or by name of manufacturer,
such specification shall be deemed to be used for the purpose of facilitating
description of the materials, process or articles desired, and shall be deemed
to be followed by the words "or equal", and the contractor may offer any ma-
terial or process which shall be substantially equal or better in every re-
spect to that so indicated or specified, provided, however, that if the mater-
ial, process or article offered by the contractor is not, in the opinion of
the Engineer substantially equal or better in every respect to that specified,
then the contractor must furnish the material, process or article specified or
one that in the opinion of the Engineer is the substantial equal or better
thereof in every respect. In the event that the contractor furnishes the ma-
terial, process or article better than that specified, the difference in cost
of such material, process or article so furnished shall be borne by the con-
tractor.
(b) Samples and Tests; At the option of the Engineer the source of sup-
ply of each of the materials shall be approved by the Engineer before delivery
is started and before such material is used in the work. Representative pre-
liminary samples of the character and quality prescribed shall be submitted
by the contractor or producer of all materials to be used in the work for
testing or examination as desired by the Engineer. All tests of materials
furnished by the contractor shall be made in accordance with commonly recog-
nized standards of national organizations and such special methods and tests
as are prescribed in the Specifications. The contractor shall furnish such
samples of materials as are requested by the Engineer without charge. No
material shall be used until it has been approved by the Engineer. Samples
will be secured and tested whenever necessary to determine the quality of
material.
Carlsbad "C" Standard Provisions - 6
(c) Defective Materials; All materials not conforming to the requirements
of the Specifications shall be considered as defective and all such materials,
whether in place or not, shall be rejected and shall be removed immediately
from the site of the work unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. No
rejected material, the defects of which have been subsequently corrected, shall
be used until approved in writing by the Engineer. Upon failure on the part
of the contractor to comply with any order of the Engineer made under the pro-
visions of this article, the District shall have authority to remove and re-
place defective material at the expense of the contractor.
(d) Storage of Materials; All materials for use in the work shall be
stored by the contractor in such a manner as to prevent damage from exposure

the contractor shall provide and install suitable safeguards to protect such
objects from injury or damage. If such objects are injured or damaged by
reason of the contractor's operation, they shall be replaced or restored, at
the contractor's expense, to a condition as good as when the contractor en-
tered upon the work, or as good as required by the Specifications, if any such
objects are a part of the work being performed.
The fact that any such pipe or other underground facility is not shown on the
Plans shall not relieve the contractor of his responsibility under this ar-
ticle. It shall be the contractor's responsibility to ascertain the existence
of any underground improvements or facilities which may be subject to damage
by reason of his operations.
(g) Responsibility for Damage: The District, the Board of Directors,
the Engineer or their authorized assistants shall not be answerable or ac-

District or the contractor to any adjacent or adjoining landowner or other
party before comaencement of any work under this contract, such notice shall
be given by the contractor. The contractor shall indemnify the District and
save it harmless from any damages on account of settlements or the loss of

premises.
In an emergency affecting the safety of life or property, including adjoining
property, the contractor, without special instructions or authorizations, is

contractor shall assert any claim against the District on account of any dam-
age alleged to have been so sustained, the District shall notify the contrac-
tor, who shall indemnify and save harmless the District against any such claim.
The contractor must ascertain to his own satisfaction the scope of the project
and the nature of any other contracts that have been or may be awarded by the
District in the prosecution of the project, to the end that the contractor may
perform this contract in the light of such other contracts, if any. Nothing
herein contained shall be interpreted as granting to the contractor exclusive
occupancy of the site of the project. The contractor shall not cause any un-
necessary hindrance or delay to any other contractor working on the project.
If the performance of any contract for the project is likely to be interfered
with by the simultaneous performance of some other contract, or contracts, the
District, through its Engineer, shall decide which contractor shall cease work
temporarily and which contractor shall continue, or whether the work under
the contracts can be coordinated so that the contractors may proceed simul-
taneously. On all questions concerning conflicting interests of contractors
performing related work, the decision of said Engineer shall be binding upon
all contractors concerned and the District shall not be responsible for any
damages suffered or extra costs incurred by the contractor resulting directly

(m) Termination for Breach; If the contractor refuses or fails to prose-
cute the work or any separable part thereof with such diligence as will in-
sure its completion within the time specified herein, or any extension there-
of, or fails to complete such work within such time, or if the contractor
should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he should make a general assignment for
the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account
of his insolvency, or if he or any of his subcontractors should violate any of
the provisions of this contract, the District may serve written notice upon
the contractor and his surety of its intention to terminate this contract, said

terminate.
In the event of any such termination, the District shall immediately serve
written notice thereof upon the surety and the contractor, and the surety shall

over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other
method it may deem advisable for the account and at the expense of the con-

SECTION VI - PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
(a) Subcontracting; Specialty subcontractors shall be utilized for the
performance of such part of the work under this contract as under normal con-
tract practices are performed by specialty subcontractors, unless the District
determines that the general contractor has heretofore customarily performed
such specialty work with his own organization and is equipped to do so, or
unless the District determines that the performance of specialty work by
specialty contractors will result in increased cost or inordinate delays, pro-
vided however, that the contractor shall not subcontract any work to be per-
formed or any materials to be furnished in the performance of this contract
without the prior written consent of the District. If the contractor shall
subcontract any part of this contract, the contractor shall be as fully re-
sponsible to the District for the acts and omissions of his subcontractor and
of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by his subcontractor
as he is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by himself.
Nothing contained in the contract documents shall create any contractual re-
lationship between any subcontractor and the District. The contractor shall
bind every subcontractor (and every subcontractor of a subcontractor) to be
bound by the terms of the contract documents as applicable to his work, unless
specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract in question, approved
in writing as satisfactory to the District.
(b) Assignment of Contract; The contractor shall not assign this contract
or any part thereof nor any monies due or to become due thereunder, without
the prior written consent of the District. No assignment of this contract shall

tract in favor of all persons, firms or corporations rendering such services
or supplying such materials.

Carlsbad "c" Standard Provisions - 13
(e) Temporary Suspension of Work: The Engineer shall have the authority

due to the failure on the part of the contractor to carry out orders given* or
to perform any provision of the contract. The contractor shall immediately
comply with the written order of the Engineer to suspend the work wholly or in
part. The work shall be resumed when methods or defective work are corrected
as ordered or approved in writing by the Engineer.
In the event that a suspension of work is ordered as provided abovei such sus-
pension of work shall not relieve the contractor of his responsibility to com-
plete the work within the time limit set forth in Section II of the Special
Provisions, and shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for
completion, and further, such suspension of work shall not entitle the con-
tractor to any additional compensation.
(f) Time of Completion and Liquidated Damages; The contractor's attention
is directed to the provisions of Section II of the Special Provisions,
SECTION VII - ESTIMATES AND PAYMENTS
(a) Partial Payments; The District shall on or before the tenth (10th)

case of final estimate hereinafter provided, cause an estimate in writing to be
made by the Engineer of the total amount of the work done and materials furn-
ished by the contractor and incorporated into the work to the first (1st) day
of the month in which the estimate is made. In estimating such value, the
Engineer may take into consideration, along with other facts and conditions
deemed by him to be proper, the ratio of the difficulty of the work done to
the probable difficulties of the work to be done. The District shall retain
ten percent (10%) of such estimated value as part security for the fulfillment
of the contract by the contractor, and shall within ten (10) days after the pre-
paration of such estimate pay to the contractor the balance of such estimated
value after deducting therefrom all previous payments and all sums to be kept
or retained under the terms of the contract.
(b) Final Payment; The Engineer shall, after the satisfactory completion
of the work, make a final estimate of the amount of work done thereunder and
the value of said work, and the District shall pay the entire sum so found to
be due after deducting therefrom all previous payments and all amounts to be
retained under the provisions of the contract. All prior partial estimates and
payments shall be subject to correction in the final estimate and payment. The
final payment shall not be due and payable until the expiration of thirty-five
(35) days from the date of acceptance of the work by the District,
No certificate given or payments made under the contract, except the final
certificate or final payment, shall be conclusive evidence of the performance
of the contract, either wholly or in part, and no payment shall be construed
to be an acceptance of any defective work or improper materials.
(c) Payments to be Made by Contractor; The contractor shall pay:
(1) For all transportation and utility services, not later than the
twenty-fifth (25th) day of the calendar month following that in which said

extent of ninety percent (90%) of the cost thereof, not later than the twenty-
fifth (25th) day of the calendar mdnth following that in which said materials,
tools and equipment are delivered at the site of the project, and the balance
of Uie cost thereof not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the

C-4. Preventing Foreign Matter from Entering the Pipe: At times
when the pipe laying is not in progress, the open end of the pipe
shall be closed by a wooden plug or by other means approved by the
Engineer. This provision shall apply during the noon hour as well
as overnight.
^~5- Te sting; After the pipe has been laid, the pipe line and
appurtenances shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of
seventy-five pounds per square inch (75 psi) in excess of the operating
pressure specified in Paragraph B-1.2 for the class of pipe being
tested. The maximum length of pipe line which may be tested at one
time shall be 2500 feet; except for those portions of the pipe line
where the distance between valves is greater than 2500 feet.
The duration of the pressure test shall be four hours and the test
shall be conducted in the following manner:
All air shall be expelled from the pipe. To accomplish this, if air
valves or hydrants or other outlets are not available, taps shall be
made at the high points to expell the air and these taps shall be
tightly plugged 'afterwards. The pressure in the pipe line shall then
be pumped up to the specified test pressure. When the test pressure
has been reached, the pumping shall be discontinued until the pressure
in the line has dropped 50 psi, at which time the pressure shall again
be pumped up to the specified test pressure. This procedure shall be
repeated until four hours have elapsed from the time the specified
test pressure was first applied. At the end of the four hour period,
the pressure shall be pumped up to the test pressure for the last time.
The leakage shall be considered as the total amount of water pumped
into the pipe line during the four hour period including the amount
required in reaching the test pressure for the final time. Leakage

B-l. Trench Excavation and Backfill
B-l.l. Trench Excavation: Excavation for pipe lines, fittings, valves,
and appurtenances shall be open trench to the depth and in the direction
necessary for the proper installation of the same as shown on the plans.
Earthwork Standards - 1
B-l.ll Trench Width: The minimum width of unsheeted trenches
shall conform to the following tabulation:
Nominal Inside Pipe Diameter Trench Width
4-" through 12" Outside diameter plus 12"
14" through 24" Outside diameter plus l6"
B-1.12 Correction of Faulty Grades: Should the excavation for
the pipe line be carried below grade without instructions from the
District's representative, it shall be refilled to proper grade
with sand, gravel or loose earth free from stones, clods, etc.,
which shall be furnished and tamped firm and unyielding at the
expense of the Contractor.
B-1.13 Foundation in Good Soil: The trench shall have a flat
or semi-circular bottom conforming to the grade to which the pipe
is to be laid. The bottom of the trench for steel pipe and concrete
cylinder pipe shall be graded and prepared to provide a firm and
uniform bearing throughout the entire length of each joint of pipe.
Steel pipe and concrete cylinder pipe SHALL NOT be laid on earth
mounds. Asbestos cement pipe shall be laid on earth mounds located
at one-fifth of the pipe length from each end.
B-l.l^ foundations in Poor Soil: All soft, spongy or unstable
material in the bottom of the trench shall be removed to a depth
as determined in the field by the District's representative.
Payment for the removal of material to a depth of two feet (21)
below the bottom of pipe grade shall be considered to be included
in the contract prices paid for the various items of work and no
additional allowance will be made therefor. The removal of material
from depths greater than two feet (21) below the bottom of pipe
grade will be paid for as extra work.
B-1.15 Foundations in Rock: Where rock is encountered, it shall
be removed below grade and the trench backfilled with sand, gravel,
or loose earth free; from stones, clods, etc., which shall be tamped
or otherwise compacted to provide a cushion with a thickness under
the pipe of not less than one-half inch (1/2") per inch of nominal
diameter of pipe to be installed with a minimum allowable thickness
of six inches (6")„
B-1.16 Shoring, Sheeting and Bracing of Trenches: Whenever it
is necessary to prevent caving, trenches shall be adequately
sheeted and braced. Where sheeting and bracing are used, trench
widths shall be increased accordingly. Sheeting shall remain in
place until the pipe has been placed, tested for defects and repaired
if necessary, and the backfill in the "pipe zone" has been completed.
B-1.2 Trench Backfill: All trenches shall be backfilled after pipe,
fittings, valves and appurtenances have been installed.
Earthwork Standards - 2
B-1.21 Procedure at Pipe Zone; Selected backfill material con-
sisting of sand or loose earth free from stones, clods or other
deleterious material shall be placed in the trench simultaneously
on each side of the pipe for the full width of the trench in layers
of about six Inches (6") in depth. Each layer shall be thoroughly
compacted by tamping or, where the material is sufficiently granular
in nature as determined by the District's representative, by water
settling. Particular attention is to be given to the underside of
the pipe and fittings to provide a firm support along the full
length of the pipe. Care shall be exercised in backfilling to
avoid damage to the pipe covering. The pipe zone shall be con-
sidered to extend six Inches (6") above the top of steel pipe and
concrete cylinder pipe and twelve inches (12") above the top of
asbestos cement pipe.
B-1.22 Procedure Above Pipe Zone; From the top of the selected
backfill to ground surface, the material for backfill may contain
stones ranging, in size up to eight inches (8") in diameter, in
quantity not exceeding forty per cent (4-0$) of the volume when said
course materials are well distributed throughout the finer material
and the specified compaction can be attained.
B-1.221 Compaction Where Settlement is Important; Where
it is important that the backfill be made safe for vehicular
traffic or for the support of structures, the backfill above
the "pipe zone" shall be thoroughly compacted to a relative
minimum density of ninety per cent (90^1 in accordance with
the method of test set forth in paragraph B-1.23 below.
The Contractor's attention is directed to paragraph A-2S
Earthwork in County and State Rights of Way.
B-1,222 Compaction Where Settlement is Unimportant: In
open terrain or whenever in the opinion of the District's
representative settlement is not important, tamping or
water settling may be omitted In the backfill above the
"pipe zone". After filling to the top of trench, the back-
fill shall be rolled with the wheels of a truck loaded to
five (5) tons or with other equivalent equipment.
B-1.23 Tamping Method: When the tamping method is used, properly
moistened fill material in uniform layers shall be tamped until
compacted to a relative minimum density of ninety per cent (90$)
in accordance with the following requirements.
At the time of compaction, the moisture content of the fill material
shall be the optimum or such that a relative compaction of at least
ninety per cent (90$) will be obtained. The optimum moisture con-
tent and density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM Method
D698-42T, except that the compaction force shall be 35,000 to
^•0,000 foot pounds per cubic foot.
Earthwork Standards - 3
B-1.24 Hater Settling Method; "When the water settling method
Is used, the trench shall be backfilled in uniform layers not
exceeding eighteen inches (18") in thickness. Each layer shall
be diked across at suitable intervals and the trench between
the dikes shall be kept filled with water during and after
deposit of backfill material until sufficient time has elapsed
for the layer to become saturated„ This method shall not be
used if in the opinion of the District's representative the
backfill material is not sufficiently granular in nature to
consolidate properly by such method; if the adjacent soil will
not readily drain, or if the adjacent street may be damaged.
B»1.3. Excess Excavated Material; The Contractor shall make the
necessary arrangements for and shall remove and dispose of all excess
excavated material. In open terrain, surplus material may be disposed
of within the right of way by spreading, provided that such surplus
material does not contain any rocks or lumps which cannot be readily
covered by spreading.
i
8-1,4. Imported Backfill Material: Whenever the excavated material is
not suitable for backfill, the Contractor shall arrange for and furnish
suitable imported backfill material at his expense. He shall dispose of
$he excess trench excavation as specified in the preceding paragraph.
The backfilling shall be done in accordance with the methods described
above.
B-1,5. Final Clean-Up; After backfill has been completed, the right
of way shall be dressed smooth and left in a neat and presentable con-
dition. On slopes where in the opinion of the District representative
rainfall runoff would create an erosion problem, the Contractor shall
excavate at approximately two hundred foot (200') intervals V-type
interception ditches to collect and carry runoff to the low side of
the right of way. The interception ditches shall be approximately one
foot (I1) deep and shall be skewed approximately forty-five degrees
(45*) with the center line of the right of way.
