he shall so advise Party A in writing within 10 days frfter receipt of
Party A'a noticF~. Notice by Party B that he does not wish to arbitrato_
or fa,lurc of Party B to notify Party A within the 10 day period will
give Party A the right to start action in court.
If Party B agrees to arbitrate, Party A shall choose an arbitrator and
shall notify Party B of the name of the arbitrator within 10 days after
wirectheipint10ofdPartyaftB's notice. Party B
receipt of the said shall notice notify that a the arbitratorng
named by Party A shall act as sole arbitrator or shall name an additional
arbitrator. If Party B names an additional arbitrator, then the arbitrator
named by Party A and the arbitrator named by Party B shall choose a third
arbitrator.

three arbitrators, the decision of any two shall be binding
to the contract, as shall that of a single arbitrator if theodi putepIBties
submitted thereto as heretofore provided. The decision of the arbitrator
or arbitratora may be filed in court to carry it into effect, if necessary.
If they consider that the case so demands, the arbitrator or arbitrators
are authorized to award the party whose contention is sustained such sum
or gums as they may deem proper for the time, expense, and trouble incident
to the appeal, and if the appeal, was taken without reasonable cause they
may award damages for any delay occasioned thereby. The arbitrators shall
receive reasonable compensation for their services. The arbitrators shall
assess the costs and charges of the arbitration upon either or both parties.
The decision of the arbitrators must be made in writing and shall not be
open to objection on account of the form of proceedings or award.
If for any reason, after the said notices have been duly given by Party A
and Party B, the arbitrators appointed shall be unable or shall fail t,,.
act with reasonable promptness in appointing a third arbitrator, Party A
(or, if he does not do so within a reasonable time, Party B) may reque-ct
,judge of the United States District Court who regularly holds court in

third arbitrator and such an appointment shall constitute a conclusive
determination that the arbitrators originally appointed were so unable
or failed to act with reasonable promptness and, if the said judge acted
at the request of Party B, that Party A did not make such request within
a reasonable time.
if for any reason after the arbitrator or arbitratorsi have been duly ap-
pointed, the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be unablr or r•hall fail to

District Court who regularly holds court in the district in which the
site of the work, or any part thereof, ira located, to appoint three new
arbitrators to act hereunder. If it appears to such judge that the ar-

tion submitted to arbitration, he may appoint three new

If for any reason a third arbitrator, or three new arbitrators shall not
be appointed by a judge of the United States District Court under the
circumstances hereinabove described, or if three new Arbitrators are so
appointed and are unable or fail to act with reasonable promptness in
reaching a decision regarding the question submitted to arbitration, then
the arbitration procedure shall be deemed to have failed, and the parties
shall be free to assert their rights in the same manner as if they had
not agreed to submit the question to arbitration.
If the above agreement to submit questions of dispute to arbitration is
not enforceable under the law of applicable ,Jurisdiction, each such ques-
tion after it has arisen may, by agreement of both parties, be submitted
to arbitration in the manner set forth above.
The Contractor shall not cause a delay of the work during any arbitration
proceedings, except by agreement with the Owner. It is understood and
agreed by the parties to the contract that no requirement or statement
herein ehall be interpreted as curtailing the power of the Engineer to
determine the amount, quality, and acceptability of work and materialn.
