Agreement, the successful Bidder will submit to the Engineer
for acceptance a list of the names of Subcontractors and
such other persons and organizations (including those who
are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a
special design) proposed for those portions of the Work as
to which the identity of the Subcontractors and other persons
1 and organizations must be submitted as specified in the

other lands which are designated for the use of the Con-
tractor. Easements for permanent structures or permanent
changes in existing facilities will be secured and paid for
' by the Owner, unless otherwise specified in the Contract
Documents. I£ the Contractor believes that any delay in
the Ovmer' s furnishing these lands or providing such ease-
ments entitles him to an extension of the Contract Time,
he may make a claim therefor as provided hereafter . The
Contractor will provide all additional lands and access
' thereto that may be rer_uired for temporary construction
facilities or storage of materials and equipment.
Subsurface information which may be contained in

available records, the accuracy of which cannot be guaranteed.
If, in the course of construction, conditions are found which
result in changes or alignment and/or delays necessitating
the re-scheduling of the Contractor's operation, such changes
in alignment or re-scheduling of operations shall not consti-
tute the basis of a claim for extra payment . It is anticipated
that the Contractor, will provide for contingencies which may
confront him throughout the execution of the Work, in the
preparation of his bid.

shall be so governed and performed, but without exception
all the Work shall be governed and so performed.
' Article 12. Authority and Duties of Inspectors
' Inspectors employed by the Owner or the Engineer
shall be authorized to inspect all work done and material
furnished. Such inspection may extend to all or any part
of the Work, and to the preparation or manufacture of the
' materials to be used. In case of any dispute arising be-
tween the Contractor and the Inspector as to materials
furnished or the manner of performing the Work, the In-
spector shall have authority to reject material or suspend
the Work until the auestion at issue can be referred to and
decided by the Engineer. The Inspector shall not be authorized
to revoke, alter, enlarge, relax or release any requirements
' of these specifications, nor to approve or to accept any

Owner in any way nor releasing the Contractor from fulfill-
ment of the terms of the Contract .
' Article 13. Tests and Inspections

the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval.
All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed
by the American Society for Testing and Materials or such other
' Griswold & Fuss, Inc.
GC-9
applicable organization as may be required by law or the
' Contract Documents . If any such Work required so to be
inspected, tested or approved is covered up without
written approval or consent of the Engineer, it must, if
directed by the Engineer, be uncovered for observation
at the Contractor' s expense. The cost of all such inspec-
tions, tests and approvals shall be borne by the Contractor
unless otherwise provided.
' (b) Any Work which fails to meet the requirements
of any such test, inspection or approval and any Work which
meets the requirements of any such test or approval but does
not meet the requirements of the Contract Documents shall be
considered defective. Such defective Work may be rejected,
corrected or accepted as provided.

inspections , tests or approvals by persons other than the
' Contractor shall relieve the Contractor from his obligations
to perform the Work in accordance with the requirere nts of
the Contract Documents.

measurements, the Contractor will submit to the Engineer
for approval, in accordance with the accepted schedule of

struction and the like to enable the Engineer to review the
information as required.
(b) The Contractor will also submit to the
' Engineer for approval, with such promptness as to cause no
delay in Work, all samples required by the Contract Documents .
All samples will have been checked by and stamped with the
' approval of the Contractor, identified clearly as to material,
manufacturer, any pertinent catalog numbers and the use for
which intended.

viations that the Shop Drawing or sample may have from the
' requirements of the Contract Documents.
' Griswold & Fuss, Inc.
GC-10
(d) The Engineer will check and approve with
' reasonable promptness Shop Drawings and samples, but his
checking and approval shall be only for conformance with
the design concept of the Project and for compliance with
the information given in the Contract Documents . The
approval of a separate item as such will not indicate
approval of the assembly in which the item functions.
The Contractor will mske any corrections required by the
j Fhgineer and will return the required number of corrected
copies of Shop Drawings and resubmit new samples until
approved. The Contractor shall direct specific attention
in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings to revisions
other than the corrections called for by the Engineer on
previous submissions .
(e) No Work requiring A Shop Drawing or sample
submission shall be commenced until the submission has been
approved by the Engineer.
(f) The Engineer' s approval of Shop Drawings
or sample shall not relieve the Contractor from his res-
ponsibility for any deviations from the requirements of the
Contract Documents unless the Contractor has in writing
called the Engineer' s attention to such deviations at the
' time of submission and the Engineer has given written
approval to the specific deviation, nor shall any approval
by the Engineer relieve the Contractor from responsibility
for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings .
Article 15. Contractor' s Supervision and Superintendence
(a) The Contractor will supervise and direct the
Work efficiently and with his best skill and attention. He
will be solely responsible for the means , methods, techniques,

writing to the Engineer any conflict, error or discrepancy
which he may discover. The Contractor will be responsible
to see that the finished Work complies accurately with the
,Contract Documents .

' times during its progress a resident superintendent satis-
factory to the Engineer. The superintendent shall not be
replaced without the consent of the Engineer except under
' extraordinary circumstances. The superintendent will be

authority to act on behalf of the Contractor. All communi-
cations given to the superintendent shall be as binding
as if given to the Contractor.

Article 17. Access to the Work; Uncovering Finished Work
(a) The Engineer and his representatives will
at all times have access to the Work. The Contractor will
provide proper facilities for such access and observation
of the Work and also for any inspection, or testing thereof
by others .
' (b) If any Work is covered contrary to the request
of the Engineer, it must, if requested by the Engineer, be
uncovered for his observation and replaced at the Contractor' s
expense.
(c ) If any Work has been covered which the Engi-
neer has not specifically requested to observe prior to its
' being covered, or if the Engineer considers it necessary or
advisable that covered Work be inspected or tested by others,
the Contractor, at the Engineer' s request, will uncover,
' expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection
%or testing as the Engineer may require, that portion of the
Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material
' and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective
or does not meet the requirements of the Contract Documents,
the Contractor will bear all the expenses of such uncovering,
exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satis-
factory reconstruction, including compensation for additional

' GC-13
professional services, and an appropriate Change Order shall
' be issued deducting all such costs from the Contract Price.
If, however, such tilork is found to be nondefective and meet
the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor .
will be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or extension
of the Contract Time directly attributable to such uncovering,
exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction
if he makes a claim therefor as provided hereafter.
Article 18. Change in the Work
( a) Without invalidating the Agreement, the Owner
may, st any time or from time to time, order additions, dele-
tions or revisions in the Work; these will be authorized by
Change Orders . Upon receipt of a Change Order, the Contractor
will proceed with the Work involved. All such Work shall be
executed under the applicable conditions of the Contract
Documents . If any Change Order causes an increase or de-
crease in the Contract Price or an extension or shortening
of the Contract Tirae, an equitable adjustment will be made
as provided hereafter.
(b) The Engineer may authorize minor changes
or alterations in the Work not involving extra cost and
not inconsistent with the overall intent of the Contract
Documents . These may be accomplished by a Field Order.
If the Contractor believes that any minor change or alteration
' authorized by the Engineer entitles him to an increase in the
Contract Price, he may make a claim therefor as provided
hereafter.
' (c ) Additional Work performed by the Contractor
without authorization of a Change Order will not entitle
him to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of
' the Contract Time, except in the case of an emergency as
provided in these Conditions.
(d) It is the Contractor' s responsibility to
notify his Surety of any changes affecting the general scope
of the Work or change in the Contract Price and the amount
' of the applicable Bonds shall be adjusted accordingly. The
Contractor will furnish proof of such adjustment to the
Owner.
Article 19. Change Orders
' (a) The value of any Work covered by a Change
Order shall be determined in one of the following ways:
' Griswold & Fuss, Inc.
GC-14
1. Where the Work involved is covered by
' unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by applica-
tion of unit prices to the quantities of the items involved.
2. By mutual acceptance of a lump sum.
3. By cost and a mutually acceptable fixed
amount for overhead and profit.
' 4. If none of the above methods is agreed
upon, the value shall be determined by the Engineer on the
' basis of costs and a percentage for overhead and profit.
Costs shell only include labor (payroll, payroll taxes,
fringe benefits, workmen' s compensation, etc . ) , materials,
equipment, and other incidentals directly related to the
' 11ork involved. The maximum percentage which shall be
allowed for Contractor's combined overhead and profit, shall
be as follows :
' 5. For all such Work done by his own orga-
nization, the Contractor may add up to ten percent of his
actual net increase in costs , and
6. For all such Work done by Subcontractors,
each Subcontractor may add up to ten percent of his actual
net increase in costs for combined overhead and profit and
the Contractor may add up to five percent of the Subcontractor' s
total for his combined overhead and profit; provided that no
' overhead or profit shall be allowed on costs incurred in con-
nection with premiums for public liability insurance or other-
wise special insurance directly related to such Work.
' In such case, the Contractor will submit
in form prescribed by the Engineer an itemized cost breakdown
together with supporting data.
' (b) The amount of credit to be allowed by the
Contractor to the Owner for any such change which results in
a net decrease in cost, will be the amount of the actual net
decrease as determined by the Engineer. When both additions
and credits are involved in any one change, the combined
' overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the not
tincrease, if any.
Article 20. Change of the Contract Time
(a) The Contract Time may only be changed by a
Change Order. If the Contractor is entitled by the Contract
Documents to make a claim for an extension in the Contract
' Griswold & Fuss, Inc.
GC-15
Time, his claim shall be in writing delivered to the Engineer
' within 10 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to
theclaim. Any change in the Contract Time resulting from
any such claim shall be incorporated in a Change Order.
(b) The Contract Time will be extended in an
amount equal to time lost due to delays beyond the control
of the Contractor if he makes a claim therefor as provided
in paragraph above. Such delays shall include, but not be
restricted to, acts or neglect by any separate Contractor
employed by the Owner, fires, floods , labor disputes, epi-
demics, abnormal weather conditions, or acts of God.
(c ) All time limits stated in the Contract Docu-
ments are of the essence of the Agreement. The provisions
' of this article shall not exclude recovery for damages
(including compensation for additional professional services)
for delay by either party.
Article 21. Warranty and Guarantee; Correction Removal or
' Acceptance of Defective Work
(a) The Contractor warrants and guarantees to
the Cwner and the Engineer that all materials and equipment
will be new unless otherwise specified and that all Work
will be of good quality and free from faults or defects and
in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents
and of any inspections, tests or approvals referred to in
Article 13. All unsatisfactory Work, all faulty or defective
Work and all Work not conforming to the requirements of the
Contract Documents or of such inspections, tests or approvals
' shall be considered defective. Prompt notice of all defects
shall be given to the Contractor. All defective :Mork,
whether or not in place, may be rejected.
(b) If required by the Engineer_ prior to the
issuance of the certificate of completion, the Contractor
will promptly, without cost to the Owner and as required
by the Engineer, either correct any defective Work, whether
or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work
has been rejected by the Engineer, remove it from the site
' ;.and replace it with nondefective Work. If the Contractor
does not correct such defective Work or remove and replace
such rejected Work within a reasonable time, all as required
by written notice from the Engineer, the Oimer may have the
deficiency corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced.
All direct or indirect costs of .such correction or removal
' and replacement, including compensation for additional profes-
sional services shall be paid by the Contractor, and an

RE: Pierce Road
SUBJECT: Retainage
(-
Gentlemen:
We have been more than patient im waiting for release of our
retainage in the amount of $ 4, 913\~.-W----"Your letter of March 9, 1977
advising that the retainage could not be released prior to
aline 24, 1977 is without basis.
Forty- our information, this project was completed the 1st week
of September 1975 and final billing was September 30, 1975. In
accordance with standard practices and the specifications, the
one (1) year guarantee period started October of 1975 and ended
September 30, 1976. We realize that there was a difference of
oninion concernirig the roadway base, but this in no way affects
the completion date of the project. s_
The roadway base problem was handled with a $ 26,000.00 bond
executed February 26, 1976 and shortly after, the balance of money
due us ( less 2% retainage) for work performed, was paid.
ry
The $ 5, 100.00 for materials purchased prior to the deletion of
Items # 10, 39, 40 & 41 should have been paid in March of 1975
but this money was not received until June 26, 1976, over one (1)
year later. The Town of South Windsor certainly cannot use this
date as "Final Payment Date". The withholding of this payment of
$ 5, 100.00 for over one (1) year was without justification and
showed a lack of concern on the Town's part.
According to Article 21, Paragraph (c) of the General Conditions
in the specifications, we were to receive written instructions
prior to the one (1) year expiration date, if there was any
defective work to be corrected. Inasmuch as one (1) year and
nine (9) months have passed without any written notice from the
Town, we therefore request immediate payment of our retainage. If
we receive it before July 15, 1977 we will waive interest. However,
if not received by that date, we will expect nine (9) months

the Contractor will pay the difference to the Owner. Such
costs incurred by the Owner will be determined by the Engineer
' and incorporated in a Change Order.
(b) Where the Contractor' s services have been
so terminated by the Owner, said Termination shall not affect
' any rights of the Owner against the Contractor then existing

tractor and the Engineer, the Owner may, without cause and

' SUPPLEMENTARY GENERAL CONDITIONS
' Article 1 . Minimum Wages
(a) All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon
' the site of the work, or under the United States Housing Act of 1937
or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of
the project, will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a
week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except
such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the full
amounts due at time of payment computed at wage rates not less than
those contained in the wage determination decision of the Secretary of
Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of
' any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the
contractor and such laborers and mechanics; and the wage determination
decision shall be posted by the contractor at the site of the work in a
' prominent place where it can be easily seen by the workers. For the
purpose of this clause, contributions made or costs reasonably antici-
pated under section 1 (b) (2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of
laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iv). Also
for the purpose of this clause, regular contributions made or costs
' incurred for more than a weekly period under plans, funds, or programs,
but covering the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively
made or incurred during such weekly period.
' (b) The contracting officer shall require that any class
of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination
' and which is to be employed under the contract, shall be classified
or reclassified conformably to the wage determination, and a report
of the action taken shall be sent by the Federal agency to the Secretary
' of Labor. In the event the interested parties cannot agree on the proper
classification or reclassification of a particular class of laborers and
mechanics to be used, the question accompanied by the recommendation
of the contracting officer shall be referred to the Secretary for final
determination.
' (c) The contracting officer shall require, whenever the
minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers
or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an
hourly wage rate and the contractor is obligated to pay a cash equivalent
of such a fringe benefit, an hourly cash equivalent thereof to be esta-
blished, In the event the interested parties cannot agree upon a cash
equivalent of the fringe benefit, the question, accompanied by the re-
commendation of the contracting officer, shall be referred to the
' Secretary of Labor for determination.
' Griswold & Fuss, Inc.
' SGC-2
(d) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee
or other third person, he may consider as part of the wages of any
' laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated
in providing benefits under a plan or program of a type expressly listed
in the wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor which is
' a part of this Contract: Provided, however, The Secretary of Labor
has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable
standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of
' Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account
assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
' Article 2. Withholding
(a) The regulating Federal Agency may withhold or cause
to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or
advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics
employed by the contractor or any subcontractor on the work the full
amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to
pay any laborer or mechanic employed or working on the site of the
work, or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the
' Housing Act of. 1949 in the construction or development of the project,
all or part of the wages required by the contract, the regulating Agency
may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or
owner take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of
any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations
' have ceased.
Article 3. Payrolls and Basic Records
' (a) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto will be
maintained during the course of the work and preserved for a period
of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at
' the site of the work, or under the United States Housing Act of 1937,
or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development
of the project. Such records will contain the name and address of
' each such employee, his correct classification, rates of pay (including
rates of contributions or costs anticipated of the types described in
section 1 (b) (2) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of
' hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the
Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iv) that the
wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
' reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program
described in section 1 (b) (2) (B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor
' shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such
benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible,
and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the
laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs antici-
pated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.

case may be, for transmission to the regulating Federal Agency.
' The copy shall be accompanied by a statement signed by the employer
or his agent indicating that the payrolls are correct and complete,
that the wage rates contained therein are not less than those determined
' by the Secretary of Labor and that the classifications set forth for each
laborer or mechanic conform with the work he performed. A sub-
mission of a "Weekly Statement of Compliance" which is required under
' this contract and the Copeland regulations of the Secretary of Labor
(29 CFR, Part 3) and the filing with the initial payroll or any subsequent
payroll of a copy of any findings by the Secretary of Labor under 29 CFR
' 5.5 (a) (1) (iv) shall satisfy this requirement. The prime contractor
shall be responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls of all sub-
contractors. The contractor will make the records required under the
' labor standards clauses of the contract available for inspection by
authorized representatives of the regulating Federal Agency and the
Department of Labor, and will permit such representatives to interview
' employees during working hours on the job.
' Article 4. Apprentices
(a) Apprentices will be permitted to work as such only
when they are registered, individually, under a bona fide apprenticeship
program registered with a State apprenticeship agency which is recognized
by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, United States Department
of Labor; or, if no such recognized agency exists in a State, under a
' program registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, United
States Department of Labor. The allowable ratio of apprentices to
' journeymen in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio
permitted to the contractor as to his entire work force under the registered
program. Any employee listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate,
who is not registered as above, shall be paid the wage rate determined
by the Secretary of Labor for the classification of work he actually per-
formed. The contractor or subcontractor will be required to furnish to
the contracting officer written evidence of the registration of his program
' and apprentices as well as of the appropriate ratios and wage rates, for
the area of construction prior to using any apprentices on the contract
' work.

lines, and all breakage and slices shall be removed as directed. It
shall be, at all times, the responsibility of the Contractor to perform
all phases of this work to produce the required rock slope faces to
the satisfaction of the Engineer.
' Where explosives and blasting are used, all laws and ordinances of
municipal, state and federal agencies relating to the use of explosives
' shall be complied with. All blasting shall be performed by qualified
personnel and proper precautions shall be taken to protect persons,
property, or the work from damage or injury from blast or explosion.
' The Contractor shall be responsible ,for all damage due either directly
or indirectly to such operation.
(d) Placement of Excavated Material: All excavated material shall be
used in the formation of embankments, except as provided elsewhere
' herein or as ordered by the Engineer.
Overhaul will not be allowed; but excavated material including topsoil
' shall be transported where directed, provided the designated point of
deposit is not more than 100 yards beyond the limits of the work
contracted for.
' When embankments are to be constructed on slopes steeper than 1
vertical to 3 horizontal, the slope of the existing ground on which the
embankment is to be placed shall be plowed deeply or cut into steps
1 before the filling is begun.
' Embankments shall be constructed of earth, rock, or a mixture of
earth and rock. The embankment shall be constructed by depositing

successive layers of fill for the full width of the embankments, unless
' a partial width is permitted by the Engineer. No embankment layer
shall be deposited on surfaces of snow or ice, nor shall it be placed
on frozen or unstable surfaces except under the conditions permitted
' elsewhere herein. If the Contractor is permitted to continue work,
he shall remove, at no cost to the Town, any frozen embankment
material unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
' The depths of each layer, before compaction, shall not exceed 12
inches except as permitted hereinafter by these specifications, or
with the permission of the Engineer.
The embankment shall be crowned or pitched to provide drainage at
' the close of each day's operations.
Where filling in 12-inch layers is impracticable as in the case of
' filling in water or over slopes too steep for the operation of equip-
ment, the embankment may be constructed in one layer to the minimum
elevation at which equipment can be operated, as determined by the
' Engineer; and above this elevation, the embankment shall be con-
structed as specified herein.
Embankments to an elevation 3 feet above the free water surface at
the time of filling, shall be constructed of rock or free-draining
material, or a mixture of both.
' In fills where the top of the proposed pavement will be less than
4 feet above an existing flexible pavement, and the existing pavement
' is not required to be removed, it shall be scarified as directed by
the Engineer.
' When present pavement not in cut or fill is removed, as called for
on the plans or directed, the area shall be backfilled with a suitable
earth material which shall be free from admixture of subsoil, refuse,
' stumps, roots, rocks, brush, weeds and other material which will
prevent the formation of a suitable seed bed.
' The entire area of each layer shall be leveled off by suitable grading
equipment and shall be compacted as hereinafter specified.
' No rockfill shall be placed above an elevation which is 2 feet below
the top of the embankment.
' No stone over 5 inches in its greatest dimension shall be placed
within 12 inches of the elevation of the top of the prepared subbase
' unless otherwise specifically authorized.

(e) Compaction: The entire area of each layer shall be uniformly
' compacted to at least the required minimum density by use of
compaction equipment consisting of rollers, compactors or a com-
bination thereof. Earth-moving and other equipment not specifically
' manufactured for compaction purposes will not be considered as
compaction equipment.
The dry density after compaction shall not be less than 95 percent
of the dry density for that soil when tested in accordance with AASHO
T 180, Method D, except that the mold used in the test shall be
' 6. 11 inches high. In this test, material retained on the 3/4-inch
sieve shall be replaced with material retained on the No. 4 sieve,
as noted as an option in the specifications for this test.
' (f) Stability: If after full compliance with the requirements of these
specifications with regard to excavation, placement and compaction
density requirements, a stable embankment has not been obtained,
the Contractor shall proceed to perform such corrective work as is
necessary to produce a stable embankment. This work may include
' but not necessarily be limited to control of moisture to within limits
suitable for obtaining the required stability; blending with rock or
granular material from roadway excavation or borrow, or free
' draining material or any combination thereof; removal and replacement
with acceptably compacted material or a combination of these
methods approved by the Engineer. Any of the foregoing methods
' may be supplemented by suspending embankment operations and
allowing the material to dry.
' When embankments are constructed of material from roadway exca-
vation and the Engineer determines that the material properly com-
pacted is not sufficiently stabilized, the cost of corrective measures
' directed by the Engineer shall be paid for at applicable contract
unit prices, or in the absence thereof, as extra work.
' (g) Surplus Excavated Material: Any surplus or unsuitable material not
required or permitted to be used for such purposes, shall be
' removed from within the limits of the highway, and deposited at
such point or points as the Contractor shall determine.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: Payment lines for earth excavation shall
coincide with the slope and subgrade lines as shown on the plans or as
ordered. Also measured for payment shall be the volume of earth moved
1 in cutting or plowing of steps on steep slopes.
Griswold & Fuss, Inc.

' T P-7
Payment lines for rock excavation shall coincide with the depth shown on
the plans or to the depth directed; and payment lines for the slopes will
be extended to a limit of one foot (1') outside of and parallel to the slope
lines shown on the plans, or as directed, to include rock actually removed
' within this limit. Where removal of rock is necessary for reasons of
safety or due to conditions clearly not attributable to the Contractor's
method of operation, the payment lines will be fixed to coincide with
' limits ordered by the Engineer.
Existing concrete and cement masonry structures over one (1) cubic yard
' shall be measured in place before removal. Only individual units of
material of one (1) cubic yard or more will be included in this measurement.
When rock is encountered, and its removal is to be paid for as "Rock
Excavation", the Contractor shall strip or expose the rock to such an
extent that in the Engineer's opinion the necessary measurements can be
' taken. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 2 days prior to
disturbing any of the rock to allow ample time to obtain the necessary
measurements. If the Contractor shall fail to give such notice or remove
' any rock prior to the taking of the measurements, the Engineer shall
presume that measurements taken at the time he first sees the material
in question will give a true quantity of excavation.
The amount of excavation will be determined by the method of average end
areas.
' The work of scarifying existing pavement will not be measured for payment,
but the cost shall be considered as included in the general cost of the
' Contract.
BASIS OF PAYMENT: Roadway excavation will be paid for at the Contract
' unit price per cubic yard for "Earth Excavation", or "Rock Excavation",
as the case may be, in accordance with the classification given herein and
subject to the method of measurement described above. The price shall
' include all equipment, tools and labor incidental to the completion of the
excavation, the formation and compaction of embankments, and the disposal
of surplus or unsuitable material in accordance with the provisions of the
' plans and of these specification. Topsoil excavation, including all handling,
will be measured and paid for at the Contract unit price per cubic yard for
"Earth Excavation" . This price shall include placing of topsoil on the slopes
' in accordance with the requirements of the Section "Furnishing and Placing
Topsoil".

BORROW
' DESCRIPTION: When the amount of usable material excavated within the
limits of the work contracted for is not sufficient to form the embankments
' and other features of the work, additional material shall be furnished by
the Contractor From borrow pits obtained by him at his expense and
located beyond the limits of the highway. This material shall be known
as borrow. Borrow shall include the furnishing, removing and satis-
factory placing of the additional material necessary to complete the
embankments and other features of the work.
' MATERIALS: Borrow shall conform to the requirements of the Section,
"Roadway Excavation, Formation of Embankment and Disposal of Surplus
' Material", herein for performance when incorporated in embankments for
roadways.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS: Borrow will be permitted only to the extent
necessary to complete the embankments and similar details and only after
all usable material from the excavation has been placed. With the approval
' of the Engineer, the Contractor may be permitted to place borrow before
the excavation is completed; but he will be held responsible for the proper
placing of all suitable excavated material, and no payment will be allowed
for any borrow placed in lieu of suitable excavated material. This
permission may be revoked by the Engineer at any time if in his opinion
' satisfactory progress is not maintained on other operations.
The Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 5 days prior to obtaining
material from any borrow pits so that an examination may be made of the
' fitness of the material and so that the necessary measurements may be
taken. The limits of the proposed borrow pit shall be shown to the
Engineer; and prior to the taking of measurements, the Contractor shall
' be required to clear the area of all unsuitable material. No payment
will be made for any material removed outside of the area measured or
which was not used in the work. No excavation shall be made within
the confines of a borrow pit after the Engineers have taken their original
measurements, other than for material to be used in the formation of
' embankments or elsewhere as shown on the plans or as directed by the
Engineer; except that material may be taken for contract items other than
borrow with the permission of the Engineer under terms and conditions
set forth in writing.
If the Contractor elects to obtain borrow from a commercial pit, it will be
necessary for him to have a section of the pit set off for his use solely,
so that the amount of material removed may be accurately determined.

' T P-9
During the period between the original and the final measurements and
' release by the Engineer, no material shall be taken from a measured
borrow pit except by the Contractor-and by him only--for use in the
work under this contract. Borrow pits shall be excavated to regular
lines as staked, so as to permit accurate measurements, and shall be
drained and left in a neat condition as directed.
' Borrow shall be placed where directed and in accordance with the provisions
for the formation of embankments of the Section, "Roadway Excavation,
Formation of Embankments and Disposal of Surplus Material" herein.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: The amount of borrow to be paid for will
be determined by the average end area method, from the results of
cross-sectional elevations taken before and after the borrow material has
been excavated from the pit or stockpile. Measurements of stockpiles
will not be taken until they are firm and can be measured safely and
' accurately.
BASIS OF PAYMENT: Payment will be at the contract unit price per cubic
yard for "Borrow" complete in place, which price shall include furnishing
and placing the material and all equipment, tools and labor necessary thereto.
' No payment will be allowed for "Borrow" until all excavation has been
placed in embankments except under the following conditions: If the Con-
tractor has secured the permission of the Engineer to place borrow before
' the excavation is complete, payment for such borrow material may be made
at the discretion of the Enqineer, before completion of-the excavation. A
reauest for such payment shall be made by the Contractor in writing, and he
' shall certify therein that he waives payment for any borrow placed in lieu
of suitable excavated material.
' Deductions will be made from borrow measurements for any materials
wasted from the cuts or placed in embankments outside of the cross-sections,
except when unsuitable material is ordered wasted by the Engineer.

' DESCRIPTION: The area of the roadbed upon which the pavement structure,
including base courses and rolled gravel base are placed, shall be known
as the subgrade. This is the plane coincident with the bottom of the
rolled gravel base, as shown on the plans. The work of Formation of
Subgrade shall be performed at this plane.
' After all grading for the roadbed has been substantially completed and all
drains laid, the subgrade shall be brought to the 'lines, grade and cross
sections shown on the plans.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS: All soft and yielding material and other
portions of the subgrade which will not compact readily when rolled, vibrated
or tamped shall be removed and replaced with suitable material. The
surface shall be compacted uniformly by rolling with an approved power
roller having a minimum compression of 300 pounds per inch of width
of tread on the rear wheel or wheels, and weighing not less than 10 tons,
or with an equivalent vibratory roller or compactor.
' When more than one compacting unit is used, the unit exerting the greatest
compactive effort shall be used to make the initial compaction. Any
' portion of the subgrade which is not accessible to a roller or other com-
pacting unit shall be compacted thoroughly with hand tampers or with
approved mechanical vibrators.
The rolling, vibrating or tamping shall be continued until the entire sub-
grade is uniformly and thoroughly compacted, true to lines and grade .given.
' In cut areas, there shall be no direct payment for any materials reauired
to bring the subgrade to the lines, grade and cross section shown on the
' plans.
The Contractor shall protect the subgrade from damage by exercising such
' precautions as the Engineer may deem necessary. At all times the sub-
grade surface shall be kept in such condition that it will drain readily and
correctly. The subgrade shall be checked and approved before any
tfoundation or surfacing material is placed thereon.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: Formation of Subgrade will be measured
by the actual square yards completed. Payment lines shall be coincident
with the outside edges of the pavement structure. Payment for Formation
of Subgrade will not be allowed for drives, walks, bikeways and parking
' areas.

time will be controlled by the conditions but shall always be con-
fined to the limits prescribed by the Engineer.
' (b) Cutting and Removing Pavement: The Contractor shall' remove only
as much existing pavement as necessary to do the work. Where
' excavations are to be made in paved surfaces to remain, he shall
cut the pavement ahead of the excavation. All pavement shall be
cut with a saw or pneumatically operated spade. Cutting and
removal shall be done so as to produce clean, uniform, vertical
edges without damage to the remaining pavement.
' Removed pavement shall not be mixed with other excavated material,
but shall be disposed of away from the site of the work before the
remainder of the excavation is made.
' (c) Trench Width: Pipe trenches shall be made as narrow as practicable
and shall not be widened by scraping or loosening of material from
' the sides. Every effort shall be made to keep the sides of the
trenches firm and undisturbed until backfilling has been completed
and consolidated.
' (d) Sheeting and Bracing: The Contractor shall furnish, put in place,
and maintain such sheeting, bracing, shoring, etc. , as may be
' necessary to support the sides of the excavation and to prevent any
movement of earth other than that intended to be accomplished by
the excavation. Such sheeting, shoring, and bracing shall be done
as may be necessary for the protection of the work and for the
safety of personnel and shall comply with the safety precautions as
outlined in the Associated General Contractors of America, "Manual
' of Accident Prevention in Construction", and the "Occupational
Safety and Health Act" of 1970 (OSHA). Sheeting shall be driven
and excavation work conducted in such a manner as to prevent
material in back of sheeting from running under sheeting and into
the trench.
' Care shall be taken to prevent voids outside of sheeting; but if voids
are formed, they shall be immediately filled and well rammed.
Sheeting shall not be carried to such a depth at structures if it
crosses the pipe line that it will bear upon the pipe.
Sheeting shall not unnecessarily be driven below the pipe invert and
thereby necessitate its being left permanently in place.

' persons, property or the work from damage or injury from blast
or explosion.
' Rock shall be excavated, within the limits of the trench, to a depth
required for curshed stone or screened gravel bedding.
Where rock is encountered in rights of way close to buildings or
other structures, special precautions will be observed. In extreme
cases the Contractor may be required to remove rock without the
' use of explosives.
(g) Extra Excavation: Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is
' incapable of properly supporting the pipe or structure is encountered
as determined by the Engineer, such soil shall be removed to the
depth required and refilled with compacted pipe bedding material.
No excavation shall be made below the limits of the excavation
called for on the plans or herein specified without prior approval by
' the Engineer.
(h) Disposal of Surplus Excavation: Surplus excavated material not
required on other portions of the work or suitable for backfill shall
be disposed of by the Contractor, as set forth under Section "Earth
Excavation, Formation of Embankment and Disposal of Surplus Material".

backfill of trenches and in mounding over the pipe. Material for
' gravel fill shall conform to Section M.02.01-Gravel Fill of the
State of Connecticut, Department of Transportation, Standard
Specifications for Roads, Bridges and Incidental Construction, Form
' 811 .
(j) Construction Without the Use of Machinery: The Owner does not
' guarantee that all sewers proposed for construction under this
Contract can be constructed by use of machinery. In some cases,
the alignments or revised alignments may preclude the use of
machinery. In this event, the Contractor will be required to perform
this work at the same unit price bid in his proposal.
' (k) Pipe Bedding: Pipe bedding material shall be used where directed
by the Engineer in storm drain installations. Pipe bedding material
shall be screened gravel or crushed stone furnished by the Con-
tractor. Where pipe bedding material is ordered, excavation shall be
made for the full width of the trench and shall be backfilled from
the trench bottom to the grade of the pipe with tamped, screened
' gravel uniformly graded from No. 4 sieve to 1/2-inch, or 1/2-inch
crushed stone to form a bed for the pipe. After the pipe is bedded,
the trench shall be filled to the center line of the pipe with tamped
' crushed stone or tamped screened gravel except at the joint. After
the joint is approved, that portion shall be filled in with the same
bedding material and tamped.
' 1 Backfill: The backfill material above the center line of the i( ) � pipe
' and below the center line of the pipe when no bedding is ordered,
shall be placed and compacted, in six (F) inch layers, by hand,
until the backfill material is at least twelve (12) inches compacted
thickness above the top of the pipe. The backfill material shall
' be suitable material from the excavation or, if directed, shall be
approved gravel fill as herein specified. Mechanical rammers or
' pneumatic tampers shall be used only after backfill has been com-
pacted by hand to a depth of twelve (12) inches above the pipe.
Backfill shall be compacted in layers not more than six (6) inches
compacted thickness. No stones other than bedding stone shall be
placed within eighteen (18) inches of the pipe in backfilling. When
any stone is used in the remainder of backfilling, each piece shall
be embedded in dirt and no stone weighing over fifty (50) pounds
' shall be included in the trench. Nesting of stones will not be
allowed. The intent of this specification is to require thorough
' tamping of bedding and backfill material.

In grassed areas the backfilling shall be to a contour which will
' allow for the placement of topsoil.
Should there be a deficiency in suitable backfill material from other
parts of the work, the Engineer may order the placement of gravel
fill.
' METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: Except as noted below, trench excavation
will be measured in its original position by taking the difference between
the ground surface at the time the trench is excavated and that after
the excavations are complete. Before starting any excavation, the Con-
tractor shall notify the Engineer so that elevations and measurements of
the work may be obtained. Any work done prior to such notification will
' not be paid for.
Trench excavation in roadway cuts shall include only that portion outside
of the limits of roadway excavation and will not include open ditches.
Payment limits shall be as described hereinafter.
Horizontal Payment Limits: Payment lines shall be vertical and shall be
the width to which the material is actually removed except that in no case
' shall the width between payment lines be more than the following:
(a) 2 feet greater than the nominal inside diameter of circular pipe,
' or nominal inside span of eliptical pipe or pipe arch for such
diameters or spans of less than 30 inches.
' (b) 3 feet greater than the nominal diameter of circular pipe or the
nominal inside span of eliptical pipe or pipe arch for such
diameters or spans that are 30 inches or greater.
' For endwalis, manholes, drop inlets and catch basins, payment lines shall
' be vertical and 2 feet outside of the neat lines of the foundations in each
direction horizontally.
' In case it is necessary to excavate to a greater width than that specified
above on account of the removal of existing structures, such additional
excavation will be considered as trench excavation and will be measured
and paid for as such.
For the removal of underground obstructions such as pipelines, tanks,
etc. , payment lines shall be vertical and 2 feet outside of the underground
item measured horizontally.

If rock is encountered, the Contractor shall strip it of sufficient over-
lying material to allow for proper measurements and shall then notify
the Engineer that the rock surface is ready for measurement. If the
Contractor shall fail to give such notice, the Engineer shall presume that
' the measurements taken at the time he first saw the material in question
will give the true quantity of excavation.
' Vertical Payment Limits: Where pipe bedding is used, the lower vertical
payment limit shall be as shown on the plans. There will be no direct
payment for the excavation necessitated by the shaping of the bedding,
but the cost shall be included in the cost per linear foot for the pipe
culvert specified.
The upper vertical payment limit shall be that prescribed below except
when in the opinion of the Engineer roadway excavation cannot be made
prior to or simultaneously with the trench excavation, then the upper
' vertical payment limit will be the surface existing at the time the trench
excavation is made.
Vertical Payment Limits Other Than in Fills: Payment lines will extend
vertically from the bottom of the trench to the bottom of the roadway
excavation.
If trench excavation is not located within the limits of roadway excavation,
payment lines will extend vertically from the bottom of the trench to
' the existing ground surface.
Vertical Payment Limits in Fills: For the various drainage installations
' the vertical payment lines shall extend from the bottom of the completed
and accepted trench to the lowest of the following upper limits:
' (a) Bottom of subbase.
(b) In the case of culverts, one foot above the top of the pipe.
' (c) In the case of drainage structure other than culverts, one foot above
the top of the uppermost culvert pipe placed in the structure.
' (d) In the case of culvert installations transverse to the roadway extending
down fill slopes, the vertical payment limit will be the depth below
1 bottom of loam or embankment surface, as the case may be, and
measured perpendicular to the bottom of the trench.
1 Vertical payment limits shall be as described above except that in no
case shall the depth measurement used for payment be greater than that
actually excavated.

up. The bottom or foundation courses shall be composed of large,
selected stones; and all courses shall be laid with bearing beds
' parallel to the natural bed of the material.
Each stone shall be cleaned and thoroughly saturated with water
' before being set. Stone shall not be dropped or slid over the wall
but shall be carefully set without jarring stone already laid. All
' stone shall be well bedded in freshly made mortar. The mortar
joints shall be full and the stones carefully settled in place before
the mortar has set. No spalls will be permitted in the beds.
Joints and beds shall have an average thickness of not more than 136
inches.
' Headers shall be placed in each course and shall have a width of
not less than 1'2 times their thickness. They shall bond with the
core or backing not less than 12 inches; and in walls 2 feet or less
' in thickness, they shall extend entirely through the wall. Headers
shall occupy not less than 1/5 of the face area of the wall and
shall be evenly distributed.

the mortar becomes set. Joints which cannot be so pointed shall
be prepared for pointing by raking them out to a depth of about
2 inches before the mortar has set. The face surfaces of stones
shall not be smeared with the mortar forced out of the joints or
that used in pointing.
The vertical joints in each course shall break joints with those in
adjoining courses at least 6 inches. In no case shall vertical
joints be so located as to occur directly above or below a header.
In case any stone is moved or the joint broken, the stone shall be
taken up, the mortar thoroughly cleaned from bed and joints, and the
stone reset in fresh mortar.
' (c) Pointing: Pointing shall not be done in freezing weather or when the
stones contain frost.
Joints not pointed at the time the stones are laid shall be thoroughly
' wet with water and filled with mortar. The mortar shall be well
driven into the joints and finished with an approved pointing tool.
The wall shall be kept wet while pointing is being done; and in hot
' or dry weather, the pointed masonry shall be protected from the
sun and kept wet for a period of at least three days after completion.
' After the pointing is completed and the mortar set, the wall shall
be thoroughly cleaned and left in a neat and workmanlike condition.

SANITARY SEWERS
' DESCRIPTION: This work shall consist of the construction of plugged
laterals where shown on the plans or where directed by the Engineer and
' a concrete encased sanitary sewer under the box culvert at the Podunk
River.
' MATERIALS: Laterals shall be six (6) inch polyvinyl chloride (PUC) pipe,
Schedule 40, conforming to the requirements of Commercial Standard CS
228, amended to date, with the following additions and/or exceptions:
CS 228 - Section 5. 1 . 1 , Deflection Temperature, shall be amended to
require an average deflection temperature of not less than 73 degrees C,
' 163 degrees F.) plus or minus 2. per cent.
CS 228 - Section 5. 1 .2, Impact Resistance, shall be amended to require an
' average Izod impact strength of not less than 1 .0 (plus 20, minus 10 per
cent) foot-pounds per inch of notch.
' CS 228 - Section 5. 1 .31, Tensile Properties, shall be amended to require
an average tensile strength of not less than .4,500 p.s.i. plus or minus 5
per cent.
' CS 228 - Section 5.2. 1 , Pipe Diameters, shall be amended to require a
minimum wall thickness of 0. 180 (plus .015, minus .010) for 6-inch pipe.
' CS 228 - Section 5.2.2, Pipe Lengths, shall be amended to require that
' all pipe shall not exceed 6.5 feet in length.
CS 228 - Section 5.2.3, Fitting Dimensions, shall be amended to require
that all joints shall consist of bell and spigot with rubber "O" ring, single
' socket as manufactured by Evanite Plastic Company, or approved equal.
Plugs as required and approved by the Engineer shall be provided.
CS 228 - Section 5.8 and 7.. 11 , Joint Tightness, shall be amended to require
that the rubber "O" ring gasket shall be as approved by the Engineer and
' shall be of a composition and texture which is resistant to common ingredi-
ents of sewage, industrial wastes including oils and groundwater, and
' which will endure permanently under the conditions likely to be imposed by
this use. The tensile strength shall be at least 1 ,300 psi. The elongation
at rupture shall be such that 2-inch gauge marks shall stretch to not less
than 10 inches. Hardness shall be between 40 and 50, as measured with a
Shore Durometer. The compression set (constant deflection) shall not

exceed 25 per cent of the original deflection. The tensile strength after
' accelerated aging shall be not less than 80 per cent of the original strength.
The joint, when assembled, must be able to withstand an hydraulic pressure
internally of at least 10 psi.
CS 228 - Section 7.8, Chemical Resistance, shall be amended to include in
the list of chemicals and their concentrations, Hydrocarbon (Aviation Gaso-
line) Resistance. Test specimens shall be immersed in the Aviation Gaso-
line at 73 degrees F. in the manner described for a period of two hours
with no change in the physical or chemical properties of the material.
Allowable Pipe Deflection: Plastic pipe provided under this specification
shall be so installed in the ground that a deflection of no more than 5
per cent can be anticipated. Such deflection shall be computed by dividing
the amount of deflection (nominal diameter less minimum diameter when
measured) by the nominal diameter of the pipe.
' Pipe Straightness: No single piece of pipe shall be laid on any project
covered by these special provisions unless it is found to be generally
' straight. Such pipe shall have a maximum ordinate as measured from the
concave side of the pipe not to exceed 1/16-inch per foot of length. If the
deviation from straightness exceeds this requirements, then the particular
' piece of pipe shall be rejected for use until it can comply with this provision.
Sewer pipe under the box culvert at the Podunk River shall be either cast
' iron pipe, thickness Class 23 (.48 inches) meeting the requirements of
AWWA Specification C106-70; or ductile iron pipe, thickness Class 2 (.35
inches) meeting the requirements of AWWA Specification C151-71 . Joints
' shall be push-on type similar or equal to Tyton.
Plugs for laterals and sewer pipe shall be of the same material as the pipe.
Concrete for encasing sewer pipes shall conform to the requirements of
the Section "Miscellaneous Concrete" herein.
Pipe bedding shall be screened gravel uniformly graded from the No. 4
' sieve to 1/2 inch, or 1/2 inch crushed stone.
The sand layer over the concrete encasement shall be clean concrete sand.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS: Laterals shall be constructed to the line and
grade as shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer. Joints shall
' be in compliance with the manufacturer's printed recommendations. All
laterals shall be laid on a compacted six (6) inch thick bed of Pipe Bedding.
Trenching and backfilling shall conform to the applicable requirements of
1 the Section "Trench Excavation" herein.
