Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the Contractor and Surety have received notice of the conference to address Contractor's failure to perform the Work. 2. If Contractor's services are terminated, Surety shall be obligated to take over and perform the Work. If Surety does not commence performance thereof within 15 consecutive calendar days after date of an additional written notice demanding Surety’s performance of its obligations, then City, without process or action at law, may take over any portion of the Work and complete it as described below. a. If City completes the Work, City may exclude Contractor and Surety from the Site and take possession of the Work, and all materials and equipment stored at the Site 00 72 00 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 61 of 65 CITY OF DENTON STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised November 20, 2020 or for which City has paid Contractor, but which are stored elsewhere, and the Work as City may deem expedient. 3.

If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the cost to complete the Work, including all related claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals) sustained by City, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If the cost to complete the Work including such related claims, costs, losses, and damages exceeds such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to City. Such claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred by City will be incorporated in a Change Order, provided that when exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph 15.02, City shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. 4. Neither City, nor any of its respective consultants, agents, officers, elected or appointed officials, directors or employees shall be in any way liable or accountable to Contractor or Surety for the method by which the completion of the said Work, or any portion thereof, may be accomplished or for the price paid therefor. 5. City, notwithstanding the method used in completing the Contract, shall not forfeit the right to recover damages from Contractor or Surety for Contractor's failure to timely complete the entire Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim, counterclaim or offset on account of the method used by City in completing the Contract. 6.

Notwithstanding Paragraph 15.02.B, Contractor’s services will not be terminated if Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of said notice. D. Where Contractor’s services have been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of City against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue, or any rights or remedies of City against Contractor or Surety. Any retention or payment of money due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability. E. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of Paragraph 6.02, the termination procedures of that bond shall not supersede the provisions of this Article 15. 15.03 City May Terminate for Convenience A.

This section supplements the requirements specified in the General Conditions. If the requirements of this Section and General Conditions conflict, the Contractor shall adhere to the more stringent requirement as determined by the Owner and Engineer. B. The provisions of this Section are supplementary to other provisions specified elsewhere in the Contract Documents. Revision 0 01190-2 SECTION 01190 HEALTH AND SAFETY C. The Contractor should be familiar with the Safety Guidelines as prepared by the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) National Landfill Gas Committee. Copies may be obtained by writing to SWANA, 8750 Georgia Avenue, Suite 140, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910, telephone number (800) 467-9262. Neither Owner nor Engineer make representation regarding the adequacy or completeness of these guidelines in addressing the issues associated with working in or near waste or landfills. D. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the Contractor from complying with the more stringent requirements of applicable Federal, State, County, or Owner rules and regulations. 1.5 HAZARDOUS SITE CONDITIONS A. The Contractor is advised that the construction of this project is being performed near buried wastes and refuse. As these buried materials decompose anaerobically, they will generate landfill gas (LFG), which normally consists of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and occasionally hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other gases, depending on the composition of the buried materials. These gases usually vent to the atmosphere through the cover soil, but may migrate laterally over 1,000 feet to adjacent areas depending on site and weather conditions. B. The Site is a municipal solid waste landfill. Waste streams may include incidental hazardous substances, medical wastes, asbestos, and other hazards. Although most of the work will be performed outside of waste limits, care shall be taken in protecting workers from exposure to hazards, and executing the work using procedures that provide worker protection. 1.6 POTENTIAL FOR HAZARDS A. The following landfill and LFG related information is included to assist the Contractor in developing its Health and Safety Plan and is not intended to encompass all steps that may be necessary to protect the workers or to comply with applicable regulations. 1. Landfill gases usually vent to the atmosphere through the cover soils, but may migrate laterally to adjacent areas depending on site and weather conditions. 2. Landfill gases have the potential to create hazardous conditions if not controlled or recognized. Some of the hazards are: a. Fires may start spontaneously from exposed and/or decomposing refuse. b. Fires and explosions may occur from the presence of methane gas. Methane is explosive in approximate concentrations of 5 to 15 percent by volume in air. c. Landfill gases may cause an oxygen deficiency in underground trenches, vaults, conduits, and structures. d. Hydrogen sulfide, a highly toxic and flammable gas, or other toxic gas may be present. e. Possible caving of trenches and excavations when working over or in refuse fills. 3. Landfill materials (solids and liquids) have the potential to contain pathogens, fungus, viruses, infectious materials; sharp, puncturing, and cutting objects; and other hazards. Dust control during waste excavation is important to controlling dust-borne transmission of harmful elements. Preventing dermal contact with waste by workers, including preventing walking over or in exposed waste, also will reduce the risks of worker exposure. Dust control and worker exposure during excavation shall be addressed in the Health and Safety Plan. Revision 0 01190-3 SECTION 01190 HEALTH AND SAFETY 4. The landfill has an existing LFG collection system, which includes but is not limited to, wellheads and other above-grade and below-grade LFG piping in areas where the Contractor may be performing Work. 1.7 SAFETY PROGRAM AND PRECAUTIONS A. Supplemental to the Contractor's regular safety program, the Contractor shall develop and institute procedures to inform all workers and site visitors of the potential for the presence of methane and other landfill gases emanating from the natural decomposition of refuse buried at or near the job site and the importance of safety precautions to ensure the safety of workers and the public. The Contractor shall also instruct all workers and maintain strict control of construction activities to protect and maintain the integrity of the Work features as they are installed. B. In addition to conforming to the safety rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction, the Contractor shall take the following precautionary measures: 1. Personnel, when in an open excavation or in the presence of landfill gas, shall be fully clothed with non-sparking cloth, wear shoes with non-metallic soles, and wear a hard hat and safety goggles or glasses. 2. Excavations and the workspace shall be monitored continuously in a manner satisfactory to the Safety Monitor for the presence of methane, hydrogen sulfide, and oxygen for the duration that personnel are in an excavation. a. All personnel shall have appropriate instruments (detector[s]) to test for oxygen deficiency and for the presence of methane gas and hydrogen sulfide gas during the performance of work when in an open excavation or in the presence of landfill gas. A personal gas monitor (such as Lumidor Safety Products PGM13, GasTech GX-82, GasTech Model 1641, or similar unit[s]) should be available for this purpose. b. Workers should immediately vacate an excavation if methane, hydrogen sulfide, or oxygen deficiency is detected therein, and shall not be permitted to re-enter the excavation unless satisfactory precautionary measures for a safe work environment are implemented. c. Workers shall not be permitted to enter a workspace where there is an oxygen deficiency or a combustible mixture of gases without appropriate protection. d. Positive fan-forced ventilation to dilute gas mixtures and avoid oxygen deficiency should be provided when work is necessary in any confined workspace. 3. Smoking shall be prohibited at all times on the landfill property. 4. In the event toxic gases are present at concentrations hazardous to the workers and the general public, the Contractor shall immediately evacuate all persons from the area until the area is determined safe by the Safety Monitor. 5. Soil shall be stockpiled adjacent to workspace in areas of exposed refuse for firefighting purposes. 6. The use of explosives or firearms shall not be permitted on the site.If refuse is exposed during construction activities, it shall be covered as soon as possible after exposure with at least a 6-inch layer of soil. In no event shall the refuse remain exposed overnight, unless otherwise approved by the Owner/Engineer and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Revision 0 01190-4 SECTION 01190 HEALTH AND SAFETY 7. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to dispose of refuse uncovered during the trenching or excavation process and dispose of refuse at the working face of the active landfill (if encountered), as directed by the Owner. Refuse shall be disposed of each day. 8. Care shall be taken not to track waste outside of the Work area on construction equipment. 9. No welding shall be permitted in trenches, enclosed areas, or over refuse unless performed in areas of the site tested and approved by the Safety Monitor. 10. Combustion engine-powered construction equipment shall be equipped with vertical exhaust and spark arrestors. 11. Electric motors and controls utilized in excavation areas and in below ground workspaces shall be explosion-proof. 12. Workers shall not be allowed to work alone at any time in an excavation. Work parties of at least three workers shall be mandatory with one worker outside of the hazard area and another worker within hailing distance to assist in an emergency. 13. Inhalation of landfill gases shall be avoided. Such gases or oxygen-deficient air may cause nausea and dizziness, which could lead to accidents. Work upwind of the excavation where possible, unless the excavation is constantly monitored and declared safe by the Safety Monitor. 14. Workers shall avoid contact with exposed refuse, condensate, or leachate. 15. Fire extinguishers with a rating of at least A, B, and C shall be available at all times on the site. 16. Startup and shutdown of equipment shall be avoided in areas of exposed refuse. 17. Assembly of construction work shall be performed outside of trenches or excavations. Prefabricated items shall be lowered into excavations. Only final connections may be made within trenches with the necessary precautions stated. 1.8 TRENCH SAFETY A. Contractor’s Health and Safety Plan shall include trench safety systems required for the construction of all trench excavation for completion of Work, and including all additional excavation and backfill necessitated by the Work. A trench shall be defined as a narrow excavation (in relation to its length) made below the surface of the ground. 1. Trench safety systems shall include but are not limited to sloping, benching, sheeting, trench boxes or trench shields, sheet piling, cribbing, bracing, shoring, dewatering or diversion of water to provide adequate drainage. 2. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining borings and soil analyses, as required, for trench safety. 3. Any property damage, bodily injury or death that arises from use of the trench safety or from the Owner's failure to note exceptions to trench safety shall remain the sole responsibility of the Contractor. 4. No trenching in excess of 5 feet below existing grade will be allowed without the implementation of trench safety procedures. Any changes in the trench safety system after the initiation of construction will not be cause for extension of time or change order and will require the same review process. Revision 0 01190-5 SECTION 01190 HEALTH AND SAFETY 5. If evidence of possible cave-ins or slides is apparent, all work in the trench shall cease until the necessary precautions have been taken by the Contractor to safeguard personnel entering the trench. It is the sole duty, responsibility and prerogative of the Contractor, not the Owner or Engineer, to determine the specific applicability of the designed trench safety systems to each field condition encountered on the project. The Contractor shall maintain a permanent record of daily inspections. 6. Any property damage, bodily injury or death that arises from use of the trench safety or from the Owner's failure to note exceptions to trench safety shall remain the sole responsibility of the Contractor. 7. Trench safety shall be performed in accordance with Excavations, Trenching and Shoring, Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards, 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P, as amended, including Proposed Rules published in the Federal Register (Vol. 52, No. 72) on Wednesday April 15, 1987 and any subsequent amendments or changes. 1.9 SAFETY MONITOR A.
