7. ABANDONMENT OF CONTRACT
7.01 ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR. In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon and
fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written notification
from the OWNER, or the ENGINEER, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the
orders of the ENGINEER, when such orders are consistent with the Co.itract
Documents, then, and in that case, where performance and payment bonds exist,
the Surety on the bonds shall be notified in writing and directed to complete
the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the CONTRACTOR shall not remove
from the work any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies then on
the job, but the same, together with any materials and equipment under con-
tract for the work, may be held for use on the work by the OWNER or the Surety
on the performance and payment bonds, or another contractor in completion of
the work; and the CONTRACTOR shall not receive any rental or credit therefor
(except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed
as provided for under section 6, Extra Work and Claims), it b^ing understood
that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately r Auce the cost
to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
;Where there is no performance bond provided or in case the.surety should
fail to commence compliance with the notice for complitit...'-orei.nbefore pro-
Vided for within ten (10) days after service of such not,. d, then the OWNER
may provide for completion of the work in either of the following elective
manners:
7.011. The OWNER may thereupon employ such force of men and use such
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies as said OWNER may
deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor,
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies to said CONTRACTOR,
and expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the OWNER out of such
moneys as may be due, or that may thereaftt,r at any time become due to
the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense
is less than the sum which would have been payable under this contract,
if the same had been completed by the CONTRACTOR, then said CONTRACTOR shall
receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which
would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed
by said CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall pay the
amount of such excess to the OWNER; or
7.012. The OWNER, under sealed bids, after five (5) days notice published one
or more times in a newspaper having general circulation in the county of the
location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of the work under
26
9-1-66
substantially the same terms and conditions which aro provided in this con-
tract. In case of any increase in cost to the OWNER ,:.,der the new contract,
as compared to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increase
shall be charged to the CONTRACTOR and the Surety shall be and remain bound
therefor. However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove
to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this contract,
the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall be credited with the difference.
When the work will have been substantially complated, the CONTRACTOR and his
Surety shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, as
provided in Paragraph 5.06 h(,reinabove,.shall be issued. A complete itemized
statement of the contract a=)unts. certified to by the ENGINEER as being
correct, shall then be prepared and delivered to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety,
whereupon the CONTRACTOR and/or.his Surety, or the OWNER as the case may bo,
shall pay the baiance due as reflected by said statement, within fifteen (15)
days after the date of such Certificate of Completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the
work is loss than that which would have been the cost to the OWNER had the
work been completed by the CONTRACTOR under the terms of this contract; or
when the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due
by them to the OWNER, then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or
supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the CONTRACTOR
and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract
price, and the C011111ACTOR and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the
OWNER within the time designated hereirabove, and there remains any machinery,
equipment, tools, materials, or supplies on the site of the work, notice
i thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials,
shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety at the respective addresses
designated in this contract; provided, however, that actual written notice
given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other
giving of such notice, such property shall be held at tho risk of the CONTRACTOR
and his Surety subject only to the duty of the OWNER to exercise ordinary care
to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice,
the OWNER may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies
and apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the CONTRACTOR
and his Surety. Such sale rk-y be made at either public or private sale, with
or without notice, as the OWNER may elect. The OWNER shall release any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies, which remain on the work
and belong to persons other than the CONTRACTOR or his Surety, to their proper
owners. The books on all opera-;ions provided herein shall be open to the
CONTRACTOR and his Surety.
7.02 ABANDONMENT BY OWNER. In case the OWDU shall fail to comply with the
terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms
within ten (10) days after written notification by the CONTRACTOR, then the
CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon tho work, and may remove therefrom
all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of the work
that have not been included* in payments to the CONTRACTOR and have not been
brought ir`o the work. knd thereupon, the ENGINEER shall make an estimate
27
9-1-66
of the total amount earned by the CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include
the value of all work actually completed by said CONTRACTOR (at the prices
stated in the attached proposal where unit prices are used), the value of
all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount
of all Extra Mork performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by
the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of aro►
provisions made by the CONTRACTOR to carry the whole work to completion and
which cannot be utilised. The ENGINEER shall then mare final statement of
the balance due the CONTRACTOR by deducting from the above estimate all
previous payments by the OAR, and all other sums that may be retained by
t$-- OWNER under the terms of this Agreement, and shall certify same to the
OWNER, who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR, on or before thirty (30) days after
the data of the notification by the CONTRACTOR, the balance shown by said
final statement as due the CONTRACTOR under the terms of this Agreement.

In no case shall the amount of coarse material be such to produce
harshness in placing and honeycombing in the structure when forms are removed.
In the determination of the amount of water required for mix, consteer-
ation shall be given to the moisture content of the aggregate. The net amount
of water in the mix will be the amount added at the mixer; plus the free water
In the aggregate; and minus the absorption of the aggregate, based on thirty
(30) minutes absorption period. No water allowance will be made for evapora-
tion after batching.
The methods of measure of materials shall be such that the proporti,3ns
of water to cement can be closely controlled during the progress of the work
and easily checked at any time by the Engineer or his representative. To
avoid unnecessary or haphazard changes in consistency, the aggregates shall
be obtained from a source which will insure uniform quality and grading during
any single day's operation and they shall be delivered to the work and handled
in such manner that the variations in moisture content will not Interfere with
the steady production of concrete of reasonable degree of uniformity. All
sources of supply shall be approved by the Engineer.
All materials shall be separately and accurately measured. Measurement
may be made by weight or by volume, as may be elected by the Contractor;
however, all equipment for measurement of materials shall be subject to
approval by the Engineer.
The proportions of the mix shall be such as to produce concrete that can
be puddled readily into the corners and angles of the forms and around the
reinforcing without excessive spading, and without segregation or undue accumu-
lation of water or laitance on the surface.
3.4 TRIAL MIXES: At least 33 days prior to the beginning of concrete placing,
the Contractor shall submit samples of materials he proposes to use and a
statement of proporcions proposed for several concrete mixes, having sufficient
range In slump to cover all placing conditions. The Engineer will require
that laboratory testa be made and such changes as may be necessary ro meet the
requirements of the specifications. Laboratory tests on trial mixes shall
show a 28-day strength 15 percent higher than the stated minimum 28-day strength.
From these preliminary tests, the ratios between 7-day and 28-day strengths
shall be established to determine at 7 days the strength necessary to satisfy
the required 28-day strengths. These ratios shall be modified as the work pro-
gresses as indicated by result of tests on cylinders made from field mixed
concrete.
If, during the progress of the work, it is found impossible to secure
concrete of required workability and strength with the materials being furnished
by the Contractor, the Engineer may order changes in proportions or materials,
or both, necessary to secure the desired properties, subject to limitations
already stated. The Contractor shall not make changes In materials, either
gradation, scurce, or brand, or proportions of the mixture after their having
• once been approved except by specific approval of the Engineer.
3-3
The Contractor shall have the preliminary testing done by an approved
testing laboratory, and shall pay foi all preliminary tests on aggregates and
test cylinders.

Studs, walers, and approved fora ties shall be used at the proper spacing
and of the proper site to maintain straight lines on all vertical surfaces.
Forms for surfaces requiring a rub finish shall be lined with plywood,
"Masonite" or other approved form lining.
Forms on vertical surfaces shall remain in place a minimum of six (6)
hours. Forms under horizontal surfaces shall remain In place seven (7) days.
3.7 PLACING CONCRETE: The Contractor shall give the Engineer sufficient
advance notice before sl;arting to place concrete in any unit of the structure
to permit the inspection of forms, the reinforcing steel placement, and
preparation for pouring. Unless authorized by the Engineer, no concrete
shall be placed in any unit prior to the completion of the form work and the
placement of the reinforcement.
The sequence of placing concrete shall be as provided on the plans or
in the specifications. The operation of depositing and compacting the con-
crete shall be conducted so as to form a compact, dense, impervious mass of
uniform texture which shall show smooth faces on all surfaces. The placing
shall be so regulated that the pressures caused by the plastic concrete shall
not exceed the loads used in the design of forms.
Careful attention shall be given by the Contractor to the proper curing
of all concrete.
