progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of his knowledge,
information and belief, the quality of the Work is In accordance with
the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning

that he has reviewed the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and pro-
cedures of construction, or that he has made any examination to ascertain
how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid or to be
paid to him on account of the Cortract Price, or that title to any Work,
materials or equipment has paLsed to OWNER free and clear of any Liens.
14 6, ENGINEER may refuse to approve the whole or any part of any
payment if, in his opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations
to OWNER. He may also refuse to approve any such payment, or because
of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections
or tests, nullify any such payment previously approved, to such extent
as may be necessary in his opinion to protect OWNER from loss because;
14,6.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been
damaged requiring correction or replacement,
14.6.2. claims or Liens have been filed or there is reason-
able cause to believe such may be filed,
14.6.3. the Contract Price has been reduced because of Modifications,
14,6.4. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work '

Substantiai Completion;
14.7. Prior to fimAl payment, CONTRACTOR may, in writing to OWNER
and ENGINEER, certify teat the entire Project is substantially complete
and request that ENGINEI'k issue a certificate of Substantial Completion,
Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall
make an inspection of th(, Project to determine the status of completion.
If ENGINEER does not consider the Project substantially complete, he
will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving his reasons therefor, If ENGINEER
considers the Project substantially complete, he will prepare and deliver

to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall
fix the date of Substantial Completion and the responsibilities between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR for maintenance, heat and utilities, There shall
be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed
or corrected before final payment, and the certificate slall fix the
h time within which such items shall be completed or corrected, said time
to be within the Contract Time. OWNER shall have seven (7) days after
receipt of the tentative certificate during which he may make written
objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached
list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that
the Project is not substantially complete, he will within fourteen (14)
days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR
In writing, stating his reasons therefor, If, after consideration of
v OWNER's objections, ENGINEER considers the PROJECT substantially complete,
he will within said fourteen (14) days execute and deliver to OW;iER and
CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a
revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting
such changes from the tentative certificate as he believes justified
after consideration of any objections from OWNER, The failure of the
ENGINEER to include any items on such tentative list of items to be completed
does not alter the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to complete all Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents,
14.8. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the
Project after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow
CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative

OWNER and ENGINEER that said part of the Project is substantially com-
I plete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion
for that part of the Project, Within a reasonable time thereafter OWNER,
a CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the
Project to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER does not
consider that it is substantially complete, he will notify OWNER and
CONTRACTOR in writing giving his reasons therefor, If ENGINEER considers
that part of the Project to be substantially complete, he will execute
and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a certificate to that effect, fixing
the date of Substantial Completion as to that part of the Project, at-
taching thereto a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected

pletion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of CONTRACTOR,
and ENGINEER so confirms, OWNER, upon certification cv ENGINEER, and
S without terminating the Agreement, may make payment of the balance
due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted, If
the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrE^ted is a
less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if bonds have
been furnished as required in paragraph 5,1, the written consent of
the Surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the
Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the CONTRACTOR
to the ENGINEER prior to certification of such paymer'.. Such payment
shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment,
except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims,

ment by OWNER to CONTRACTOR under the Contract Documents, nor any use
or occupancy of the Project or any part thereof by OWNER, nor any act
of acceptance by OWNER nor any failure to do so, nor any correction
of defective work by OWNER shall constitute an acceptance of Work not
in accordance with the Contract Documents,

1.06 WORKMANSHIP
1
These specifications contain detail instructions and descriptions
covering the major items of construction and wurkmanship necessary
for buildiny and completing the various units or elements of the
project, The specifications are intended to be so written that
only first class workmanship and finish of the best grade and
quality will result, The fact that these specifications may fail
to be so complete as to cover all details will not relieve the
Contractor of full responsibility for providing a completed project
of high quality, first class finish and appearance and satisfactory
for operation, all within the apparent intent of the plans and
specifications,
f
1.07 SANITATION FACILITIES y,
The Contractor shall provide portable toilet facilities, (Chem-cans)
or equal in sufficient number for the Contractor's use throughout the
course of the project and in accordance with OSHA requirements. Con-
tractor's personnel will not be permitted to use toilet facilities in
the existing plant buildings.

i
During construction of the project any equipment or materials which
has been the property of the Owner and which is salvaged by the
Contractor shall remain the property of the Owner. Brick and
concrete rubble shall be the property of the Contractor and shall
be disposed of off the plant site,
1,09 MATERIALS
These specifications are interded to be so written that only
# materials of the best quality and grade will be furnished. The
fact that the specifications may fail to be sufficiently complete
in some detail will not relieve the Contractor of full respon-
sibility for providing materials of high quality and protecting
them adequately until incorporation in the structure. The specs-
fications for materials set out the minimum standard of quality
which the Owner believes necessary to procure a s
atisfactory pro-
ject. No substitutions will be permitted until the Contractor has
received written permission of the Engineer to make a substitution
for the material which has been specified,
Where the term "or equal", or "or approved equal" is used, it is
understood that if a material, product, or piece of equipment of
the specified name and quality is furnished it will be approvable,
` as the particular nar;e was used for the purpose of establishing a
standard of quality acceptable to the Owner, If a product of any
other, name is proposed for use, the Engineer's approval thereof
must to obtained before the proposed substitute is procured by the

proposes to carry on the work, the date of which he will start the
several major activities (including procurement of materials, ~
plants, and equipment) and the contemplated dates for completing
the same. The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart
of suitable scale to indicate graphically the percentage of work
scheduled for completion at any time. As the work progresses, the
Contractor shall enter on the chart the actual progress at the end
of each partial payment period or at such intervals as directed by
the Engineer, The Contractor shall also revise the schedule to
i
reflect any adjustments in contract time approved by the Engineer.
Three copies of the updated schedule shall be delivered at such i
intervals as directed by the Engineer,
► If, in the opinion of the Engineer, work accomplished falls behind
that scheduled, the Contractor shall take such action as necessary
to improve his progress. In addition, the Engineer may require
1 the Contractor to submit a revised schedule demonstrating his
grogram and proposed plan to make up lag in scheduled progress and '
to insure completion of the work within the contract time. If the
Engineer finds the proposed plan not acceptable, he may require
the Contractor to increase the work force, the construction plant
and equipment, the number of work shifts or the overtime opera-
tions without additional cost to the Owner,
Failure of the Contractor to comply with these requirements shall 3
be considered grounds for determination by the Engineer that the
Contractor is failin? to prosecute the work with such diligence as
will insure its comr,~'Ion within the time specified.

3.02 HYDROSTATIC TEST
r
A. GENERAL
After the pipe has been laid and backfilled, each valved section j
of newly 1,-,Id pipe shall be subjected to a hydrostastic pressure
test. For any section being tested, the pressure applied shall
be such that at the lowest point in the section, the test
pressure shall be equal to the pipe design class. Test pressure
shall be as indicated on the hydraulic gradient sheet of the
plans. I

to which the pipeline connects,
i
B, PROCEDURE
C Care shall be used to see that all air vents are open during the
filling. After the line, or section thereof, has been
completely filled, it shall be allowed to stand under a slight
pressure at least 24 hours to allow the pipe to absorb what
water it will and to allow the escape of air from any air
pockets, During this period, the plugs, valves, manholes and
connections shall be examined for leaks, If any are found,
these shall be stopped, or in the case of valves in the main

during the test. The water necessary to maintain the test
pressure shall be measured through a meter or by other means
satisfactory to the Owner, Contractor shall furnish all
necessary equipment and make tests at his expense.
Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be j
expelled from the pipe. In the event it is necessary to expel 9
'I1 air from high points other than where taps are provided, the
Contractor may tap the line for this purpose and afterward
tightly plug the tap with a brass plug. No extra compensation
will be made for these taps. Duration of test shall be four (4) j
hours.
C. EXAMINATION UNDER PRESSURE
N
During the last two hours of the test, the entire route of the 1
pipeline under test shall be inspected to locate any leaks or
breaks, Any defective ,joints, cracked or defective pipe,
fittings, or valves discovered in consequence of this pressure j
=•1 test shall be removed and replaced with sound material in the !
manner provided and the test shall be repeated until
satisfactory results are obtained.
0. PERMISSIBLE LEAKAGE
s ~
No pipe installation will be accepted until the leakage is less j
than 25 gallons per mile, per 24 hours, per inch of nominal j
diameter of pipe, based on 32' joint lengths and 100 psi test {
pressure,
E. LEAKAGE DEFINED
Leakage is defined as the net quantity of water to be supplied
into the newly laid pipe, or any valved section of it, necessary
1 3 to maintain the specified leakage test pressure after the pipe
has been filled with water and the air expelled.
F. VARIATION FROM PERMISSIBLE LEAKAGE
Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that
specified, the Contractor shall at his own expense, locate and
repair, the defective ,joints, until the leakage is within the
