fied by the Engineer whose decision shall be final. Any work called for by the drawings and not
mentioned in the specifications, or vice versa, is to be furnished as though fully set forth by
both. Where not specifically stated otherwise, all work and materials necessary for each unit of
construction, including special construction for any specific brand or shape of materials called
for, even though only briefly mentioned or indicated, shall be furnished and installed fully and
completely as a part of This Contract. Lists, rules and regulations referred to in the Specifica-
tions or Special Conditions are recognized printed standards and shall be considered as one and a
part of the specifications within the limits specified. The Engineer may furnish details to fully
explain the Work and the same shall be considered a part of This Contract. If in the opinion of
the Contractor any details are more elaborate than warranted, written notice thereof must be given
the Engineer within five (5) days of receipt of same. The Engineer will then consider the claim
and, if justified, the drawings will be amended or the extra work authorized in accordance with
Article 10 of these Standard Conditions.
The Contractor, at his own expense, shall furnish for the approval of the Engineer any and
all shop drawings required by the specifications, or that may be called for by the Engineer, of
any and all materials, work and equipment he proposes to use. These shop drawings'shall be
checked by the Engineer and returned to the Contractor within 5 working days of their receipt
by the Engineer.
All shop drawings shall be submitted in quadruplicate, accompanied by a letter of transmittal
listing the numbers of the drawings submitted, and shall be addressed to the Engineer for ap-
proval. All drawings must be marked with the name of the Project and the name of the Contractor,
be numbered consecutively and be complete in every respect. The Contractor shall make such
corrections as required by the Engineer and receive the Engineer's stamp of approval before
commencing the work involved.
If -the shop drawings show any variation from the contract requirements because of standard
shop practice or other reason, the Contractor shall make specific mention of each such variation
in his letter of transmittal in order that, if acceptable, suitable action may be taken for proper
adjustment of This Contract by change order; otherwise, the Contractor will not be relieved of
the responsibility for executing the work in accordance with This Contract even though the shop
drawings have been approved.
Approval of shop drawings will be general and shall not relieve the Contractor from the re-
sponsibility for proper fitting and construction of the work, from furnishing materials and work
required by This Contract which may not be indicated on the shop drawings when approved, or
from responsibility for errors in shop drawings.
Additional requirements and conditions which must be met by the Contractor in the perform-
ance of This Contract may be provided by the Owner in the Special Conditions which are made a
part of This Contract. Should the Special Conditions in any way conflict with or vary from these
Standard Conditions, they shall prevail over the Standard Conditions to the extent of the conflict

or variance, and the Standard Conditions shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. Should
the Contractor have any question regarding any such conflict or variance, or possibility thereof,
he shall submit a written request to the Engineer for the determination thereof.

ARTICLE 4. LABOR AND WAGES
No person under the age of 16 years, or currently serving sentence in a penal or correctional
institution, or an inmate of an institution for mental defectives, or whose age or physical condi-
tion is such as to make his employment dangerous to his health or safety or the health or safety
of others shall be employed to perform any work under This Contract, except that physically
handicapped persons otherwise employable may be employed under This Contract where such
persons may be safely assigned to work which they can ably perform. Any person who may be in
the employ of the Contractor and whom the Engineer may deem incompetent or unfit shall be dis-
missed from the Work and shall not again be employed on it except with the written consent of
the Engineer.
Eight hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work upon all work done under This
Contract.
Claims and disputes pertaining to classification of labor employed on the Work under This
Contract shall be decided by the Owner.
The Contractor shall comply with Articles 2, 3, and 4 of Chapter 1, Part 7, Division II of the
California Labor Code regulating wages, working hours and employment of aliens on public works.
In accordance with said articles, the Contractor shall forfeit to the Owner as a penalty $10.00:
a. For each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each workman paid less than the stipulated
prevailing rates for any public work done under This Contract by him or by any subcon-
tractor under him;
b. For each workman employed in the execution of This Contract by the Contractor or by any
subcontractor for each calendar day during which said workman is required or permitted to
labor more than eight hours in violation of the provisions of said Article 3;
c. For each alien knowingly employed in the execution of This Contract, for each calendar
day, or portion thereof, during which such alien is permitted or required to labor in viola-
tion of said Article 4.
Pursuant to the statutes of the State of California, or local law applicable thereto, the Gov-
erning Body of the Owner has ascertained the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the
locality in which the work on the Project is to be performed for each craft, classification or type
of workman needed to execute This Contract. The prevailing rates so determined are set forth in
detail in the Special Conditions of This Contract.
It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and upon any subcontractor under him to pay not
less than the specified prevailing rates of wages to all workmen employed by them in the execu-
tion of This Contract.
Any laborer or mechanic employed to perform work on the Project under This Contract, which
work is not covered by any of the stipulated classifications, shall be paid not less than the
minimum rate of wages specified for the classification which most nearly corresponds to the work
to be performed by him, and such minimum wage rate shall be retroactive to the time of initial
employment of such person in such classification. In the event any dispute on that question
cannot be adjusted by the Engineer, the question and the information, together with the recom-
mendation of the Engineer, shall be referred for determination to the Board or to any official
designated by the Board, whose decision on the question shall be conclusive on the parties to
This Contract with the same effect as if the work performed by such laborer or mechanic had been
classified and the minimum rate specified herein.
Article 4 - Labor and Wages
6
The specified wage rates are minimum only, and the Owner will not consider any claims for
additional compensation made by the. Contractor because of payment by the Contractor of any
wage rate in excess of the applicable rate contained in This Contract. All disputes in regard to
the payment of wages in excess of those specified in This Contract shall be adjusted by the
Contractor.
The Contractor agrees that in case of underpayment of wages to any worker on the Project
under This Contract by the Contractor or any subcontractor the Owner may withhold from the
Contractor out of payments due an amount sufficient to pay such worker the difference between
the wages required to be paid under This Contract and the wages actually paid such worker for
the total number of hours worked, and the Owner may disburse such amount so withheld by it for
and on account of the Contractor to the employee to whom such amount is due. The Contractor
further agrees that any amounts withheld pursuant to this paragraph shall be in addition to the
percentages or amounts which may be retained by the Owner pursuant to other provisions of This
Contract.
In case the Owner orders the Contractor to perform extra or additional work which may make
it necessary for the Contractor or any subcontractor under This Contract to employ in the perform-
ance of such work any craft, classification or type of workman for which no prevailing wage rate
is herein specified, the Owner will include in the change order for such extra or additional work
the prevailing wage rate for such craft, classification, or type, and, insofar as such extra or
additional work is concerned, there shall be paid each workman engaged in the work in such craft,
classification or type not less than the prevailing wage rate so included.
The Contractor shall not carry on his payrolls any person not employed by him, nor shall he
carry on his payrolls employees of a subcontractor. Subcontractor's employees must .be carried
only on the payrolls of the employing subcontractor.
The Contractor and each of his subcontractors shall pay each of their employees engaged in
work on the Project under This Contract in full (less deductions made mandatory by law) in cash
and not less often than once each week, provided that when circumstances render payment in cash
infeasible or impracticable, the Owner may permit payment by check under consideration that
funds are made available in a local bank and checks may be cashed without charge, trade require-
ments, or inconvenience to the employees.

ARTICLE 5. MATERIALS
Materials manufactured or produced in a penal or correctional institution shall not be incor-
porated in the Project under This Contract.
Only unmanufactured materials produced in the United States of America, and only manu-
factured materials manufactured in the United States of America, substantially all from materials
produced in the United States of America, shall be used in the performance of This Contract.
Materials shall be furnished in ample quantities and at such times as to insure uninterrupted
progress of the Work and shall be stored properly and protected as required. The Contractor shall
be entirely responsible for damage or loss by weather or other causes to materials or work under
This Contract.
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the specifications, all materials shall be new
and all workmanship, equipment, materials and articles incorporated in the work covered by This
Contract shall be of the best available grade of their respective kinds. Whenever in the specifi-
cations 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 material, process or article desired and shall be deemed to be
followed by the words "or equal," and the Contractor may offer any material, process or article
which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified;
provided, however, that if the material, 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. The burden of proof as
to the equality of any material, process or article shall rest with the Contractor.
In the event that the Contractor furnishes a material, process or article better than that
specified, the difference in cost of such material, process or article so furnished shall be borne
by the Contractor.
It is understood that, except as otherwise specifically stated in This Contract, the Contractor
shall provide and pay for all materials, labor, tools, equipment, water, light, power, transportation,
superintendence, temporary constructions of every nature, and all other services and facilities of
every nature whatsoever necessary to execute and complete This Contract within the specified
time. Any work necessary to be performed after regular working hours or on Sundays or other
legal holidays shall be performed without additional expense to the Owner.
No material, supplies or equipment for the work under This Contract shall be purchased sub-
ject to any chattel mortgage or under a conditional sale or other agreement by which an interest
therein or in any part thereof is retained by the seller or supplier. The Contractor warrants good
title to all material, supplies and equipment installed or incorporated in the work and agrees upon
completion of all work to deliver the premises, together with all improvements and appurtenances
constructed or placed thereon by him, to the Owner free from any claims, liens or charges and
further agrees that neitheV he nor any person, firm or corporation furnishing any materials or labor
for any work covered by This Contract shall have any right to a lien upon the premises or any
improvement or appurtenance thereon, except that the Contractor may install metering devices and
other equipment of utility companies or of political subdivisions the title to which is commonly
retained by the utility company or the political subdivision. In the event of the installation of
any such metering device or equipment, the Contractor shall advise the Owner as to the owner
thereof. Nothing contained in this article, however, shall defeat Or impair the right of persons
furnishing material or labor under any bond given by the Contractor for their protection or any
rights under any law permitting such persons to look to funds due the Contractor in the hands of
Article 5 - Materials

the Owner. The provisions of this article shall be inserted in all subcontracts and material
contracts and notice of its provisions shall be given to all persons furnishing material for the
work when no formal contract is entered into for such material.

ARTICLE 6. SUBCONTRACTING
If the Contractor shall subcontract any of the Work under This Contract, the Contractor shall
be as fully responsible to the Owner 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 omis-
sions of persons directly employed by himself. Nothing contained in This Contract shall create
any contractual relation between any subcontractor and the Owner. The Contractor shall bind
every subcontractor (and every subcontractor of a subcontractor) by the terms of This Contract
applicable to his work unless specifically noted to the, contrary in the subcontract in question
approved in writing by the Owner.

ARTICLE 7. PERFORMANCE OF WORK
The work shall be commenced on or before the date stated in the Owner's Notice to the
Contractor to proceed, and shall be completed by the Contractor in the time specified in. Article II
of the Agreement of This Contract. If the work is not completed in accordance with the foregoing,
the Board shall have the right to extend the time for completion if it determines, such extension
to be in the best interests of the Owner; and in case the Board decides so to extend the time limit
for the completion of the work, it shall have the further right to charge to the Contractor, his
executors, administrators, heirs, assigns or sureties, all or any part, as the Board may deem
proper, of the actual costs of engineering, inspection, supervision, incidental and other overhead
expenses, that are directly chargeable to This Contract and that accrue during the period of such
extension, and to deduct the amount thereof from the final payment for the work; provided, how-
ever, that the cost of the final survey and the preparation of the final estimate will not be included
in such charges.
If the Work is not completed by the Contractor in the time specified in Article II of the Agree-
ment of the Contract Documents, or within any period of extension as above authorized, it is
understood that the Owner will suffer damage; and it being impractical and infeasible to determine
the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that the Contractor shall pay to the Owner as fixed and
liquidated damages and not as, a penalty the sum of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) for each calendar
day of delay until the Work is completed and accepted, and the Contractor and his surety shall be
liable for the amount thereof, provided that the Contractor shall not be charged liquidated damages
because of any delays in the completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the
control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor (including, but not restricted to, acts
of God or of the public enemy, acts of the Government, acts of the Owner or acts of another
Contractor in the performance of his contract with the Owner, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays of subcontractors
due to such causes). The Contractor shall, within ten (10) days from the beginning of any such
delay, notify the Owner in writing of the cause of delay; whereupon the Owner shall ascertain
the facts and the extent of the delay and extend the time for completing the work when in its
judgment the findings of fact justify such an extension; and its findings of fact thereon shall be
final and conclusive on the parties hereto.
If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the Work or any separable part thereof with such
diligence as will insure its completion within the time specified or any extension thereof, or fails
to complete said 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 ap-
pointed on account of his insolvency, or if he or any of his subcontractors should violate any of
the provisions of This Contract, the Owner may serve written notice upon him and his surety of its
intention to terminate This Contract, such notice to contain the reasons for such intention to ter-
minate, and unless within 10 days after the serving of such notice such condition shall cease or
such violation shall cease and satisfactory arrangements for the correction thereof be made, This
Contract shall, upon the expiration of said 10 days, cease and terminate. In the event of any such
termination, the Owner shall immediately serve written notice thereof upon the surety and the Con-
tractor, and the surety shall have the right to take over and perform This Contract, provided, how-
ever, that if the surety within 15 days after the serving upon it of notice of termination does not
give the Owner written notice of its intention to take over and perform This Contract or does not
commence performance thereof within 30 days from the date of serving such notice, the Owner may
take 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 Contractor, and he and his surety shall
be liable to the Owner for any excess cost or other damages occasioned the Owner thereby. If the
Owner takes over the Work as hereinabove provided the Owner may, without liability for so doing,
take possession of and utilize in completing the Work such materials, appliances, plant and other
property belonging to the Contractor as may be on the site of the Work and necessary therefor.
Article 7 - Performance of Work
11
C
The foregoing provisions are in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or reme-
dies available to the Owner.
If, through acts or neglect on the part of the Contractor, any other contractor or any subcon-
tractor shall suffer loss or damage on the Work, the Contractor agrees to settle with such other
contractor or subcontractor by agreement or arbitration, if such other contractor or subcontractor
will so settle. If such other contractor or subcontractor shall assert any claim against the Owner
on account of any damage alleged to have been so sustained, the Owner shall notify the Contrac-
tor, who shall indemnify and save harmless the Owner against 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 Owner in the prosecution of the
Project to the end that the Contractor may perform This Contract in the light of such other con-
tracts, if any. Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted as granting to the Contractor exclu-
sive occupancy of the site of the Project. The Contractor shall not cause any unnecessary
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 execution of some
other contract or contracts, the Owner shall decide which contractor shall cease work temporarily
and which contractor shall continue or whether the wock can be coordinated so that the contrac-
tors may proceed simultaneously. The Owner shall not be responsible for any damages suffered
or extra costs incurred by the Contractor resulting directly or indirectly from the award or perform-
ance or attempted performance of any other contract or contracts on the Project, or caused by- any
decision or omission of the Owner respecting the order of precedence in the performance of the
contracts awarded for the completion of the Project.
The Contractor shall be responsible for all damages to person or property that occur as a
result of his fault or negligence in connection with the prosecution of This Contract and shall be
responsible for the proper care and protection of all materials delivered and work performed until
completion and final acceptance by the Owner. All work shall be solely at the Contractor's risk.
The Contractor shall provide such heat, covering and enclosures as are necessary to protect
all work and materials against damage by weather conditions.
The topography of the site and the existence and location of utilities indicated on the plans
are in accordance with the best information obtainable but cannot be guaranteed and shall be
investigated and verified in the field by the Contractor before starting work. The Contractor shall
be held responsible for any damage to, and for maintenance and protection of existing utilities
and structures.
The Contractor shall take adequate precautions to protect existing sidewalks, curbs, pave-
ments, utilities, adjoining property and structures, and to avoid damage thereto, and he shall at
his own expense completely repair any damage thereto caused by his operations.
If required by law, the Contractor shall shore up, brace, underpin and protect as may be
necessary, all foundations and other parts of all existing structures adjacent to and adjoining
the site of the Project which are in any way affected by the excavations or other operations con-
nected with the completion of the Work under This Contract. Whenever any notice is required to
be given by the Owner or the Contractor to any adjoining or adjacent landowner or other party
before commencement of any work under This Contract, such notice shall be given by the Con-
tractor. The Contractor shall indemnify the Owner and save it harmless from any damages on
account of settlement or the loss of lateral support of adjoining property and from all loss or
expense and all damages for which the Owner may become liable in consequence of such injury
or damage to adjoining and adjacent structures and premises.
Article 7 - Performance of Work
12
c
In an emergency affecting the safety of life or property, including adjoining property, the
Contractor, without special instructions or authorization from the Owner, is authorized to act at
his discretion to prevent such threatened loss or injury, and he shall so act if instructed to do so
by the Owner.
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 progress; any
proper direction or request of the Engineer delivered to such representative shall have the same
force and effect as if delivered to the Contractor personally.
From time to time the Contractor shall remove all dirt, debris, waste, rubbish and implements
of service from the Project and the working area. Debris, waste or unused construction materials
shall not be left under, in, or about the Project, shall not be used in backfilling, and shall not be
allowed to accumulate in the Project or the working area.
Just before the completion of the Work the Contractor shall thoroughly clean the interior and
exterior of the buildings, if any, including fixtures, equipment, floors and hardware, and shall
remove all plaster spots, stains, paint spots and accumulated dust and dirt. This cleaning shall
include all roofs, window sills and ledges, horizontal projections, porch floors, steps, rails,
sidewalks and other surfaces where debris may have collected. All glass shall be washed clean
and polished.
Upon completion of the Work the Contractor shall remove from the site all material used in
fencing, planking or barricades.
The Contractor shall confine his apparatus, storage of materials and construction operations
to such limits as may be directed by the Engineer and shall not unreasonably encumber the prem-
ises with his materials and equipment. The Contractor shall enforce any instructions' of the
Owner or Engineer regarding signs, advertising, fires, danger signals, barricades and smoking,
and shall require all persons employed on the Work to comply with all building, post or institu-
tional regulations while on the premises.

ARTICLE 8. LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTOR
The Contractor shall not assign This Contract or any part thereof or any moneys due or to
become due thereunder without the prior written consent of the Owner. No such assignment shall
be valid unless it shall contain a provision that the funds to be paid to the assignee under the
assignment are subject to a prior lien for services rendered or material supplied for performance
of the work called for under This Contract in favor of all persons, firms, or corporations rendering
such services or supplying such materials.
The Contractor shall, at his expense, obtain all necessary permits and licenses, give all
necessary notices, pay all fees required by law, and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, and
regulations relating to the Work and to the preservation of the public health and safety.
The Contractor shall hold and save the Owner and its officers, agents and employees harmless
from liability of any nature or kind, including cost and expense, for or on account of any patented
or unpatented invention, process, article, or appliance manufactured or used in the performance of
This Contract, including its use by the Owner, unless otherwise specifically stipulated in the
Contract Documents.
i
Besides guarantees required elsewhere, the Contractor shall and hereby does guarantee all
work for a period of one year after the date of acceptance of the Work by the Owner and shall
repair or replace any or all such Work, together with any other work which may be displaced in so
doing, that may prove defective in workmanship and/or materials within the one year period from
date of acceptance without expense whatsoever to the Owner, ordinary wear and tear, unusual
abuse or neglect excepted.
In the event of failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of any guarantee
required by This Contract within a week after being notified in writing, the Owner is authorized
to proceed to have the defects repaired and made good at the expense of the Contractor who shall
pay the costs and charges therefor immediately on demand.

c ARTICLE 9. OWNER • CONTRACTOR RELATIONS
The Owner and its representatives shall at all times have access to all parts of the Work and
to the shops wherein the Work is in preparation, for the purpose of inspection, and the Contractor
shall at all times, maintain proper facilities and provide safe access for such inspection.
The Owner shall have the right to reject materials and workmanship which are defective, or
to require their correction. Rejected workmanship shall be satisfactorily corrected and rejected
materials shall be removed from the premises without charge to the Owner. If the Contractor does
not correct such rejected work within a reasonable time, fixed by the Engineer in a written notice
to the Contractor, the Owner may correct same and charge the expense to the Contractor.
Should it be considered necessary or advisable by the Owner at any time before final accept-
ance of the Work to make an examination of work already completed by removing or exposing the
work, the Contractor shall on request promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and mate-
rials. If such work is found to be defective in any respect due to fault of the Contractor or any
of his subcontractors, he shall defray all the expenses of such examination and of satisfactory
reconstruction. If, however, such work is found to meet the requirement of This Contract, the
additional cost of labor and material necessarily involved in the examination and replacement,
plus fifteen percent (15%), shall be allowed the Contractor.
Where the specifications, Engineer's instructions, laws, ordinances, or any public authority
having such jurisdiction requires work to be specifically tested or approved, it shall not be tested
or covered up without timely notice to the Engineer of its readiness for inspection and without
the approval or consent thereto by the latter. Should any such work be covered up without such
notice, approval or consent, it must, if required by the Owner, be uncovered for examination at
the Contractor's expense.
No official of the Owner who is authorized in such capacity and on behalf of the Owner to
negotiate, make, accept, or approve, or to take part in negotiating, making, accepting, or approv-
ing any architectural, engineering, inspection, construction, or material supply contract or any
subcontract in connection with the construction of the Project, shall become directly or indirectly
interested personally in This Contract or in any part thereof. No. officer, employee, architect,
attorney, engineer or inspector of or for the Owner who is authorized in such capacity and on be-
half of the Owner to exercise any executive, supervisory or other similar functions in connection
with the construction of the Project shall become directly or indirectly interested personally in
This Contract or in any part thereof.
Any notice from one party to the other under This Contract shall be in writing and shall be
dated and signed by the party giving such notice or by a duly authorized representative of such
party. Any such notice shall not be effective for any purpose whatsoever unless served in the
following manner:
a. If the notice is given to the Owner, by personal delivery thereof to the Engineer or by
depositing the same in the United States mails, enclosed in a sealed envelope, address
to the Owner for the attention of said Engineer, at Building 8, Operations Center, 4005
Rosecrans, San Diego 10, California, postage prepaid and registered;
b. If the notice is given to the Contractor, by personal delivery thereof to said Contractor,
or to his foreman at the site of the Project, or by depositing the same in the United States
mails, enclosed in a sealed envelope addressed to said Contractor at his regular place of
business or at such other address as may have been established for the conduct of the
Work, postage prepaid and registered; or

communicated by him to the party giving the notice, postage prepaid and registered.
No verbal agreement or conversation with any officer, agent or employee of the Owner, either
before, during or after the execution of This Contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or

On or before the 15th day of each month there shall be paid to the Contractor a sum equal to
90% of the value of the Work performed up to the last day of the previous month less the aggregate
of previous payments. The monthly payments shall be made only on the basis of monthly esti-

discretion. In so doing the Owner shall be deemed the agent of the Contractor and any payment
so made by the Owner shall be considered as a payment made under This Contract by the Owner
to the Contractor and the Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for such payment made in

monthly payment that will become due the Contractor in accordance with the progress schedule.
The Contractor shall also furnish on forms to be approved by the Owner (a) a detailed estimate
giving a complete breakdown of the contract price, and (b) periodical itemized estimates of work
done for the purpose of making partial payments thereon. The values employed in making up any
of these schedules will be used only for determining the basis of partial payments and will not
be considered as fixing a basis for additions to or deductions from the contract price.
The Owner, upon proper action by its Governing Body, may require changes in, additions to,
or deductions from the work to be performed or the materials to be furnished pursuant to the
provisions of This Contract. Adjustments, if any, in the amounts to be paid to the Contractor by
reason of any such change, addition, or deduction, shall be determined by one or more of the
following methods:
a. By an acceptable lump-sum proposal from the Contractor.
Article 10 - Extra Work and Payments

b. By unit prices contained in the Contractor's original bid and incorporated in the Contract
Documents or fixed by subsequent agreement between the Owner and the Contractor.
No extra work shall be performed or change made except pursuant to a written order from the

contract sum shall be valid unless so ordered; provided, however, that nothing in this Article
shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the prosecution of the work so changed. The

ment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such vio-lations have ceased.

years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics work-
ing at the site of the work. Such records will contain

e) Plastic Lining. It is the intent of this specification that
the interior area, as shown on the dra\\inbs, of the reinforced concrete pipe
sewer shall be completely sealed and protected \\ith lining and that all joints
between individual sheets or sections of liner plates shall be continuously'
heat-welded by the use of welding strips of similar type and equivalent thick-
ness of material as the liner plates.
All work for and in connection with the installation of
liner plates in concrete pipe, and the field sealing and welding of joints, shall
be done in strict conformity with all applicable specifications, instructions
and recommendations of the plastic liiu-r plate manufacturer.
1-Zb
Material
Composition
The liner plate shall be Arner-Plate T-Lock, as manu-
factured by the Amercoat Corporation, South Gate, California.
The material used in liner plate shall be a combination
of inert, synthetic resins, pigments and plasticizers , compounded to make
permanently flexible sheets.
Joint strips and welding strips shall ha\ e the same cor-
rosion resistance as liner plate but shall not have locking extensions.
The manufacturer of the sewer lining shall furnish an
affidavit attesting to the successful and completely satisfactory use of the
material as a lining for pipe sewers for a minimum period of five years in
recognized difficult sewage conditions.
Once cast into the pipe or structure, the lining shall be
permanently and physically attached to tiie concrete by the T-Lock mechanism
and shall not rely on an adhesive bond. The lining shall withstand a 15 psi
back pressure applied to the under surface of the lining without losing
anchorage or without rupture.
The lining shall be capable of repair at any time during
the life of the sewer.
Details and Dimensions at 4' x 8' basic si/.e sheets
Liner plate shall be not less than .060 inch in thickness.
Locking extensions (T-shaped) of the same material as that of the
liner plate shall be integrally molded with heat and pressure on the back of
each sheet of liner plate. The extensions shall be such that when embedded in
concrete, they will physically hold the liner plate permanently in place.
Transverse reinforcing ribs shall be molded integrally on the
back of the liner plate along lines approximately 15-1/Z inches apart except
that the. first line of ribs at each end of a sheet shall be located Z-l/Z inches
from the end of T-Locks. A gap at least 1 inch wide shall be left for the full
height of each rib and centered in each space between the locking extensions.
Pipe Size Sheets
Liner plate shall be supplied as pipe size sheets fabricated
by shop, welding together the basic size sheets.
1-Zc
At 8-foot intervals longitudinally along liner plait' in-
stalled in sewers, a gap, not less than 1 inch nor more than 6 inches wide,
shall be left in all locking extensions to provide an unobstructed transverse
weep channel.
The joint strip for pipe shall be molded integrally with
the liner plate, extending approximately 3 inches beyond the end of the pipe.
The edges of joint strips shall be beveled prior to final welding of joints.
Welding strips shall be approximately 1 inch wide with
a minimum width of 7/8 inch. The edges of welding strips shall be- beveled
in the manufacturing process.
Installation of Liner Plate
General» . , —
The installation of liner plate, including the welding of
all joints, shall be done by an agency recommended in writing by the manu-
facturer .
Liner plate coverage shall not be less than the minimum
shown on the plans.
Liner plate shall be installed with T-Locks parallel
with the longitudinal axis of the sewer.
The space between ends of T-Locks, measured longi-
tudinally, at any regular transverse joint shall not exceed 6 inches.
Locking extensions (L-shaped) shall be integrally molded
to all lower, terminal, or longitudinal edges of liner plate as applied to
concrete pipes.
Liner plate shall be held snugly in place against inner
forms by means of light gauge steel \\ire, light steel banding straps, small
headed nails or other suitable means. Banding straps applied across T-Locks
must be located along the lines of transverse ribs to prevent crushing or
tilting of T-Locks.
If banding straps are used, a steel rod 5/lb inch in
diameter may be inserted in each L-shaped locking extension along the
longitudinal edges of each sheet of liner pLite. The steel rods shall be cut
off 1-1/2 inches from the ends ot locking extensions.
Concrete poured against liner plate shall be vibrated,
spaded or compacted in a careful manner so as to protect the liner plate and
to produce a dense, homogeneous concrete, securely anchoring the locking
extensions into the concrete.
1-Zd
s
In remo\ing forms, care shall be taken to protect liner
plate from damage. Sharp instruments shall not be used to pry forms from
lined surfaces.
All nail and tie holes and all cut, torn and seriously
abraded areas in the liner plate shall be patched. Patches made entirely
with welding strip shall be fused to the liner plate over the entire patch.
Larger patches may consist of smooth liner plate applied over the damaged
area with adhesive. All edges must be covered with welding strip fused to
the patch and the sound liner plate adjoining the damaged area.
Hot joint compounds, such as coal tar, shall not be
poured or applied to liner plate.
The Contractor shall take all necessary measures to
prevent damage to installed liner plate from equipment and materials used in
or taken through the work.
Liner plate shall be set flush with the inner edge of the
bell end of a pipe section and shall extend to the spigot end or to approximately
3 inches beyond the spigot end depending upon the type of liner plate joint to
be made with the adjoining concrete pipe.
Wherever the concrete pipe join structures not so lined,
such as manhole structures, the liner plate shall be extended over and around
the end of the pipe and back for not less than 4 inches. This protecting
around the outside of the pipe cap may be molded or fabricated from liner
plate and need not be T-locked to the pipe.
Care shall be exercised in handling, transporting and
placing lined pipe to prevent damage to the liner plate. l\o interior hooks
or slings shall be used in lifting pipe. All handling operations shall be done
with an exterior sling or with a suitable fork lift.
No pipe with damaged lining will be accepted until and
unless the damage has been repaired to tlu satisfaction of the Engineer.
Field Joints in Liner Plate for Concrete Pipe
The joint between sections of lined pipe shall be prepared in
the following manner before making the liner plate joint:
The inside joint shall be filled and carefully pointed with
cement mortar in t>uch a manner that tiie ri.^rtar shall not,
l-2e
at any point, extend into the pipe beyond a straight
line connecting the surfaces of the adjacent pipe
sections. The mortar shall be allowed to cure for
at least 18 hours.
Where ground water is encountered, the joint shall
not be lined until [jumping of the ground water has been
discontinued for at least three days and no visible leakage
is evident at the joint.
No liner plate joint shall be made until after the trench
has been back-filled and flooded. Pipe joints must be
dry before liner plate joints are made.
All mortar and other foreign material shall be removed from
liner plate surfaces adjacent to the pipe joint leaving them clean and dry.
Field joints in the liner plate at pipe joints may be either of
the following described types:
Type P-l: The joint shall be made with a spearate
4-inch joint strip and two welding strips. The
four inch joint strip shall be centered over the
joint, secured to the liner plate with 20-Y Adhesive
and welded along each edge to adjacent liner plate
with a 1 inch weld strip. The1 width of the space
between adjacent liner plate sheets shall not exceed
2 inches. The i" joint strip shall lap over each
liner plate a minim urn of 1 inch.
Type P-2: The joint shall be made with a plastic strip, without
locking extensions, integrally molded with the liner
plate and extending approximately 3 incb.es beyond
the spigot end. One welding strip is required. The
joint strip shall overlap the liner plate a minimum of
1 inch downstream from the pipe joint. 20-Y
Adhesive shall be used to hold the lap in place during
welding. The joint strip on beveled pipe shall be
trimmed lo a width, measured from the end of the
spigot, of approximately 3 indies for the entire
circumferential length of the liner plate. The joint
strip shall be protected from damage. Excessive
tension and distortion in bending back the strip to
expose the pipe joint during laying and joint mortar-
ing shall be avoided.
All welding of joints is to be in strict conf orrnance with liner
plate manufacturer's specifications.

Testing and Repairing Damaged Surfaces
(1) After the pipe is installed in the trench, alL surfaces covered
with liner plate, including welds, shall be tested with an ap-
proved electrical holiday or flaw detector. All patches over
the holes, or repairs to the liner plate wiu-rever damage has
occurred, shall be done in conformity with the instructions
or recommendations of the liner plate manufacturer.
(L!) Each transverse welding strip which extends to a lower edge
of the liner plate will be tested by the purchasing agency.
The welding strips shall extend below the liner plate providing
a tab. A 10-pound pull will be applied to each tab. The force
will be applied normal to the face of the structure by means
of a spring balance. Liner plate adjoinin^ the welding strip
will be held against the concrete during application of the force-.
The 10-pound pull will be maintained if a weld failure develops,
until no further separation occurs. Defective welds will be
re-tested after repairs h.ive been made. Tabs shall be trim-
med away neatly by the installer of the liner plate after the
welding strip has passed inspection. Inspection shall be
made within two days after joint has been completed in order
to prevent tearing the projecting weld strip and consequent
damage to the liner plate from equipment and materials used
in or taken through the work.

and such maximum shall be inclusive of all timbers.
Whenever such maximum allowable width of trench is
exceeded for any reason except as provided for in the Plans or Special
Conditions, or by the written direction of the Engineer, and when the cover of
backfill over pipe is more than eight feet, the Contractor shall, at his own
expense, provide partial concrete cradle Type ''A". If the Contractor, for
any reason, exceeds the maximum trench widths in are?s where a partial
concrete cradle, concrete arch encasement, or concrete encasement is
already specified on the Plans, then a higher load bearing type 01 bedding may
be required by the Engineer.

public or private property, will be protected from damage. Sheet piling and
other timber shall be removed in such a manner as to prev ;rit caving of the
sides of the excavation. Portions of sheeting driven below the pipe invert shall
not be removed.
1-13. Pipe and Bedding Conditions
a. Foundations. Rock bedding shall be used where the subgrade
conditions are, in the Engineer's judgement, unsuitable for satisfactory pipe
placement. Payment for rock bedding will be made only when such bedding is
authorized in writing by the Engineer. Before such authorization is granted
the Contractor shall adequately denote the trench area in accordance with the
Specifications and excavate the trench to normal subgrade to permit proper in-
spection by the Engineer. Wtienever the Contractor over-excavates the trench
without authorization, the Contractor shall place sufficient crushed rock bedding
to bring the bottom up to grade at his own expense.
1-12
b. General. Pipe, as specified on the PLin.s, installed in ac-
cordance with Standard Detail Sheet, .sin 11 be used for all work. Where

the pipe, and the inner surface of the bell or collar and the outer surface? of
the spigot *-nds shall be thoroughly cleaned so that good joints can be made.
Pipe sections shall be so laid and fitted together that, when complete, the
sewer will have a smooth and uniform interior. All water encountered in the
excavation shall be pumped out and the trench or tunnel ke.pt dry during all pipe
laying. In-no case shall the sewers be used for drains for such water. At
night, and whenever the work ceases for any reason, the unfinished end of the
sewer shall be securely closed with a tight fitting cap or plug to prevent the
entrance of mud, sand) or other obstructing material. Excess earth, debris,
or other foreign material of any nature shall be cleaned out satisfactorily by
pulling a bag filled with straw or sand through the sewer or by using a swab
made of a ball of burlap wrapped on a wooden handle. '1 he sewer shall be
clean and unobstructed at the time of its completion and acceptance and shall
be true to the line and grade- as shown on the Plans and Profiles.
b. Jointing. All vitrified clay pipe shall have mechanical
compression joints as specified in Section 1-05 and shall be handled and
jointed in an approved manner and in strict accordance with the recommen-
dations of the respective manufacturers.

found to be soft or yielding, the soft or yielding material shall be removed
and replaced by crushed rock, gravel, or concrete of sufficient thickness to
form an unyielding foundation.
1 -Li
b. General. Manholes and special structures shall be con-
structed as shown on the Standards Plans, or approved project plans.
c. Manholes. Invert channels shall be smooth and accurately
shaped. Invert channels may be formed directly in the concrete of the man-
hole base, or may consist of half tile laid in the concrete base, or be con-
structed by laying full section sewrr pipe straight through the manhole and
cutting out the top half after the concrete base is constructed and sufficiently
set.
Mortar joints between pre-ca.st concrete manhole sections
and between the top section and manhole frame shall be made watertight. All
mortar shall be placed in the dry, and protected from water until set. Man-
hob.-LI shall be built up so that the cover when placed will be at the required
grade.
d. Connection to Existing Manholes. In the locations as shown
on the drawings the Contractor shall break into existing manhole structures
and install the new inlet lines as specified. x
New flow-through channels shall be constructed in each
manhole base to accommodate the new sewer lines. Smooth transitions
shall be installed from the inverts of the newly installed pipes to the exist-
ing manhole structure.

1-16. Leakage and Infiltration Tests
1. Gravity Sewers. After completion of pipe laying, all main
line gravity sewers and structures shall be tested in the presence of the
Engineer for either leakage or infiltration, at the option of th.e Engineer, as
described hereafter. Ordinarily, the infiltration test will be used where ex-
cessive ground water is encountered and the leakage test will be used in all
other cases.
a. Infiltration Test. Test sections shall be isolated as
described under 'Leakage Test. " Pumping of the ground water shall be dis-
continued for at least three days and the water shall be allowed to rise to
maximum water table level. Any individual leaks which can be located shall
then be repaired. The infiltration rate shall then be measured at the low end of
the test section. The infiltration rate shall not exceed 500 gallons per day
per inch of pipe diameter, per mile ,. of pipe being tested. No additional
allowance shall be made for manholes or other structures. If the observed
1-14
?s
infiltration rate exceeds the allowed limit, the required repairs shall be made
and the section shall be retested. Repairs and retestlng shall be repeated until
the observed infiltration falls within the allowed limit. Notwithstanding
satisfactory passing of either the leakage test or infiltration test, where in-
filtration is later discovered in excess of the allowed limit before completion
and acceptance of the sewer, the sewer shall be immediately uncovered where
necessary and the infiltration rate reduced within the allowed limit before the
sewer is accepted.
b. Leakage Test. Each section of sanitary sewer, between
two successive structures, shall be tested by closing the lower end of the
sewer to be tested and the inlet sewer of the upper structure with stoppers,
and filling the pipe and structure with water so that the surface of the water
in the upper structure is in the 24" diameter ring.
Tiie allowable leakage will be computed by the formula
D = . oooi di YH
in which "D" is the allowable drop in feet per hour in height of the water in
the upper structure, "d" is the nominal ii ".meter in inches of the sewer pipe
being tested. "L" is the length in feet of the sewer to be tested. "H" is the
difference in elevation, in feet, between the invert of the closed sewer in the
lower structure and in the surface of the water in the upper structure of the
head of water on the invert at closed end of sewer. If the observed leakage
rate exceeds the allowed limit, the required repairs shall be made and the
section shall be retested. Repairs and re-testing shall be repeated until the
observed leakage falls within the allowed limit. "H" is limited to 4'
minimum and 25' maximum. Lines with head of more than 25 feet shall not
be tested for leakage.
c. Leakage Due to Internal Pressure (Alternate Air Pressure
Method). The Contractor may elect to utilise the following air pressure test
in lieu of the water test specified above.
The Contractor shall plug the ends of the sewer lines
being tested with plugs and brace the ends of the- pipe where needed. The
leakage test shall be conducted in the following manner and shall include the
sewer main and laterals as a unit.
The line shall be supplied with air until three and one-
half (3-1/2) pounds per square inch gauge pressure has been reached, at
which time the flow of air to the pipe shall be shut off. The input air pressure
shall not exceed five (5) pounds per square inch guage pressure, regulated by
a five (5) pound per square inch pressure regulating valve. The air test
equipment is to be approved by the Engineer prior to testing.
1-15
The Engineer will then accurately determine the time for
loss of one (1) pound per square inch gauge pressure in the range from three
(3) to two (Z) pounds per square inch gauge pressure. The time for loss of
one (1) pound per square inch gauge pressure shall not be less than sixty (60)
seconds. If the time is less than sixty (60) seconds the Contractor shall make
such reapirs as are necessary to eliminate the excessive leakage and repeat
the test.
* 2. Leakage Tests for Force Mains. All force main pipe
lines shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of 100 psi. The test
shall be held for thirty (30) minutes during which time no portion of the pipe
or fittings shall show percolation. The Contractor shall furnish all the
labor and materials necessary to make the tests and shall repair any damage
resulting from or caused by these tests. All pipe and joints which prove
defective shall be remedied or replaced and again tested to determine ac-
ceptability.
1-17. Backfilling.
a. Backfill Pipe Zone. After the sewer pipe has been properly
laid, the trench shall be backfilled to a height of one foot above the top of the
lumps, stones or adobe. This material shall be compacted by means of
tamping or water settlement, depending upon the nature of the material. When
the soil is of a sandy nature, flooding will be allowed, completely saturating
and settling the material. If the material is not of a granular nature, it shall
be brought to optimum moisture content, and compacted in layers not ex-
ceeding six (6) inches in thickness by means of hand or pneumatic tampers in
such ma.'nuer as to not injure the pipe. Regardless of the method used, this
material to a. height of one foot above the top of the pipe shall be thoroughly
compacted betore the trench above this point is backfilled.
b< Backfill in Road Rights-of - Way. All backfill material,
placement thereof, and compaction sh<ill be in accordance u. i th the require-
ments of the agency having jurisdiction thereof. In no case, however, will a
lesser degree of compaction than hereinbefore specified be permitted in the
pipe zones.
c. Backfilling Where Not in Road Right-of - Way . Above the
top of the selected backfill to ground surface, the material for backfill shall
be free from stones or lumps of material exceeding six (o) inches in greatest
dimension. This backfill material shall be compacted to a minimum density of
ninety percent (90%) in accordance with the modified A. A. S. H. O. procedure.
This compaction may be obtained by means of water settlement or other
means defending on the nature of the material. Sandy, granular soils may be
compacted by means of water settlement. The area to be backfilled by water
1 -16
settlement shall be diked to suitable intervals so that water will be impounded
to sufficient depth so that earth pushed or shoveled into the area will at all
times be falling into water and 'will be completely saturated. Soils not having
a sand or granular nature shall be backfilled and compacted by methods other
than flooding which will produce the specified density.
d. Excavation of Holes for Compaction Tests. The Contractor
at his own expense shall do such excavation and backfill as required by the
Engineer for making compaction tests. The Contractor shall furnish all labor
and equipment necessary to excavate and backfill holes to the depths and dimen-
sions and at locations requested by the Engineer.
1-18. Restoration of Surfaces. The Contractor shall replace all
surface material, and shall restore curbing, sidewalks, gutters, shrubbery,
fences, sod and other surfaces disturbed, to a condition equal to that before
the work began, furnishing all labor and materials incidental thereto.
The Contractor shall furnish all material, labor, and equip-
ment to restore all street pavements to as near their original condition as
possible. In all cases the finished surface shall be free from ridges and
depressions. Asphaltic pavements, concrete pavements and pavement base
shall be replaced with materials, similar to those excavated and equal in
thickness to those removed during excavation except where greater thickness
is required by State and County requirements.
All trench resurfacing shall be provided with a sealcoat using
State of California Standard Specifications, Sealcoat shall cover the entire
trench area including an additional width of one foot on either side of the
excavated area,
1^19. Cleaning Up. Surplus pipeline material, tools and temporary
structures shall be removed by the Contractor; and all dirt, rubbish and excess
earth from excavations shall be hauled to a dump provided by the Contractor,
and the construction site shall be left clean to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
This clean-up work shall follow as closely behind the backfilling as possible and
adequate facilities for sprinkling shall be provided, all in order to keep down ,
dust and prevent any other nuissance to adjacent residents.

The preceding flow control is based on the constant speed pump's impeller
being trimmed to drop 100 GPM at maximum speed. The pumping function is to
start matching the flow with the F 1 variable speed motor to its maximum which
is 100 GPM more than the constant speed pump, then permitting the constant
speed pump to operate at its maximum and cutting the =1 variable speed pump
to 100 GPM plus and as level increases to cut in *2 variable speed pump, drop
the constant speed simultaneiously so that only two pumps draw power, then
change the status of ?2 variable speed pump to the role of the constant speed
pump picking up an additional 100 GPM to maximum of two pumps.

in a large Bristol Indicating Recorder. The Recorder shall be provided with
30-Day charts that record a jog in the voltage every time engine starts and runs.
On top of the door shall be mounted the following: overcrank light, low lube oil
light, high water temperature, low water level and overspeed light, 4-position
selector switch and starter pushbutton, and an "on" signal light which remains
lit when switch is in other than "automatic:" position. When the selector switch
is in the automatic position, the control shall operate as follows: When the loss
of power tinner times out, the closing of the contact takes the engine through 4
to 6 attempts to start. The length of the cranking period shall be adjustable
from 10 to 20 seconds. The rest periods will be fixed at approximately 10
seconds. The overall timing shall be adjustable to achieve the correct number
of cranking and test periods, regardless of the setting of the cranking tinier.
Pneumatic or thermal timers shall not be permitted. Should the engine fail to
start on any of these attempts, further operation should be stopped and the
24 Volt DC "overcrank" light energised should the engine start on any of these
attempts, cranking should cease, the block be removed on the failure circuits
and the engine brought up to speed. It should continue to operate at rated speed
until the engine contacts are again opened. The fuel solenoid should then be de-
energized and the magneto grounded. If at any time during this operation a failure
should occur due to low lubricating oil pressure, or high jacket water temperature,
low water level or overspeed the engine shall be shut down. Ten times per month,
while in the automatic position, the engine shall be automatically started and run
for an adjustable period up to 10 minutes. When the engine starts up each time,
a jog shall appear in the line on the recorder to indicate that the engine has
started and run. Should a failure condition occur during an exercise or test run,
the engine shall be shut down immediately. In the Test position, the engine shall
start up immediately and continue running until the switch is turned to the "Off"
position. During the test runs made in this manner, should a failure condition
arise, the engine shall immediately shut down and the proper light shall be
lighted and the remote circuit closed. In the "Off" position, all relays shall be
de-energized and made inoperative so that, the machine can be properly and
safely serviced. Also, the non-automatic light shall be energized. In the
manual position, the solenoid valve shcill be energized and the magneto un-
grounded in the selector switch. Starting shall be accomplished by means of
the start pushbutton on the front of the panel. No relays or protective circuits in
the control shall be used in the function since this position will be utilized only
when there is control trouble. The engine will be stopped by turning the selector
switch to the "OFF" position. The engine shall be maintained automatically at
120 F. by means of a forced circulation immersion heater, Kirn Hotstarl or
approved equal, which is thermostatically controlled by a therrnostatic switch
in the jacket water of the engine, Fenwall 17-150 or approved equal. The 24 DC
