.1 have furnished a written notice of non-payment to the Contractor, stating with substantial accuracy
the amount claimed and the name of the party to whom the materials were, or equipment was,
furnished or supplied or for whom the labor was done or performed, within ninety (90) days after
having last performed labor or last furnished materials or equipment included in the Claim; and
.2 have sent a Claim to the Surety (at the address described in Section 13).
§ 5.2 Claimants, who are employed by or have a direct contract with the Contractor, have sent a Claim to the Surety
(at the address described in Section 13).
§ 6 If a notice of non-payment required by Section 5.1.1 is given by the Owner to the Contractor, that is sufficient to
satisfy a Claimant’s obligation to furnish a written notice of non-payment under Section 5.1.1.
§ 7 When a Claimant has satisfied the conditions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, whichever is applicable, the Surety shall
promptly and at the Surety’s expense take the following actions:
§ 7.1 Send an answer to the Claimant, with a copy to the Owner, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Claim,
stating the amounts that are undisputed and the basis for challenging any amounts that are disputed; and
§ 7.3 The Surety’s failure to discharge its obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of defenses the Surety or Contractor may have or acquire as to a Claim, except as to undisputed
amounts for which the Surety and Claimant have reached agreement. If, however, the Surety fails to discharge its
obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, the Surety shall indemnify the Claimant for the reasonable attorney’s
fees the Claimant incurs thereafter to recover any sums found to be due and owing to the Claimant.
§ 8 The Surety’s total obligation shall not exceed the amount of this Bond, plus the amount of reasonable attorney’s
fees provided under Section 7.3, and the amount of this Bond shall be credited for any payments made in good faith
by the Surety.
§ 9 Amounts owed by the Owner to the Contractor under the Construction Contract shall be used for the
performance of the Construction Contract and to satisfy claims, if any, under any construction performance bond.
By the Contractor furnishing and the Owner accepting this Bond, they agree that all funds earned by the Contractor
in the performance of the Construction Contract are dedicated to satisfy obligations of the Contractor and Surety
under this Bond, subject to the Owner’s priority to use the funds for the completion of the work.

§ 1 The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein
by reference.
§ 2 If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation
under this Bond, except when applicable to participate in a conference as provided in Section 3.
§ 3 If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise
after
.1 the Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and the Surety that the Owner is considering
declaring a Contractor Default. Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a
conference among the Owner, Contractor and Surety to discuss the Contractor’s performance. If the
Owner does not request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of
the Owner’s notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner
shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Section 3.1
shall be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety’s receipt of the Owner’s notice. If the
Owner, the Contractor and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to
perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner’s right, if any,
subsequently to declare a Contractor Default;
.2 the Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the
Surety; and
.3 the Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the
Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract.
§ 4 Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Section 3.1 shall not constitute a
failure to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety’s obligations, or release the Surety from its obligations,
except to the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice.
§ 5 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Section 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense
take one of the following actions:
§ 5.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract;
§ 5.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or independent
contractors;
§ 5.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for
performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the
Owner and a contractor selected with the Owner’s concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds
executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the
amount of damages as described in Section 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the Owner
as a result of the Contractor Default; or
§ 5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor and with
reasonable promptness under the circumstances:
.1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as
practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or
.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial.
§ 6 If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Section 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed
to be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety
demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any
remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Section 5.4, and the Owner refuses the
payment or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to
enforce any remedy available to the Owner.
§ 7 If the Surety elects to act under Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall
not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to

User Notes: (812461909)
the Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under the Construction Contract. Subject to the commitment
by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price, the Surety is obligated, without duplication, for
.1 the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and completion of the
Construction Contract;
.2 additional legal, design professional and delay costs resulting from the Contractor’s Default, and
resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Section 5; and
.3 liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction Contract, actual
damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.
§ 8 If the Surety elects to act under Section 5.1, 5.3 or 5.4, the Surety’s liability is limited to the amount of this
Bond.
§ 9 The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the
Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set off on account of any such
unrelated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
§ 10 The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to
related subcontracts, purchase orders and other obligations.
§ 11 Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in
the location in which the work or part of the work is located and shall be instituted within two years after a
declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years after
the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this
Paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum period of limitation available to sureties as a defense in the
jurisdiction of the suit shall be applicable.
§ 12 Notice to the Surety, the Owner or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the page
on which their signature appears.
§ 13 When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in the location where
the construction was to be performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement
shall be deemed deleted herefrom and provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be
deemed incorporated herein. When so furnished, the intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond
and not as a common law bond.
§ 14 Definitions
§ 14.1 Balance of the Contract Price. The total amount payable by the Owner to the Contractor under the Construction
Contract after all proper adjustments have been made, including allowance to the Contractor of any amounts
received or to be received by the Owner in settlement of insurance or other claims for damages to which the
Contractor is entitled, reduced by all valid and proper payments made to or on behalf of the Contractor under the
Construction Contract.
§ 14.2 Construction Contract. The agreement between the Owner and Contractor identified on the cover page,
including all Contract Documents and changes made to the agreement and the Contract Documents.
§ 14.3 Contractor Default. Failure of the Contractor, which has not been remedied or waived, to perform or otherwise
to comply with a material term of the Construction Contract.

required under the Construction Contract or to perform and complete or comply with the other material terms of the
Construction Contract.

SECTION 00 73 13 – SUPPLEMENTARY GENERAL CONDITIONS
PART 1 - GENERAL
A. Contractor shall employ a competent superintendent who shall be responsible for the project site at all
times during performance of the Work. The superintendent shall not be replaced except with prior consent
of the Architect and Owner or unless the superintendent ceases to be in the Contractor's employment.
The replacement superintendent shall also be subject to these conditions.
B. The superintendent shall represent the Contractor, and communications given to the superintendent shall
be as binding as if given to the Contractor. Important communications shall be confirmed in writing. Other
communications shall be similarly confirmed on written request in each case.
A. The Owner and Contractor agree that adverse weather conditions are normal and expected at the site
during the Contract period. The Contractor=s project schedule shall include a sufficient number of days for
adverse weather conditions during the Contract period that will account for potential delays caused by
normal and expected weather conditions at the site.
1. If unusually severe and adverse weather conditions are the basis for a claim for additional time,
such claim shall be documented by data substantiating that weather conditions were unusually
severe for the period of time and could not have been reasonably anticipated. Unusually severe
weather is the Contractors burden to prove and must be reconciled with averages shown for this
area by the U.S. Weather Service, and that said weather conditions have had an adverse effect on
the scheduled construction by impacting critical path activities.
2. Contractor shall notify the Owner and Architect of any weather conditions that affect the progress of
critical path items. Notification must be sent on the date of adverse weather. Acceptance of the
weather impact notice will not guarantee the approval of any extension to the Contract period.
A. The Owner and Contractor agree that litigation shall be the method for binding dispute resolution, not
arbitration.

smooth end at right angles to the axis of the pipe. Flanges, flexible couplings and other connections
shall come together at the proper orientation. The fit shall not be made by springing any piping, nor
shall orientation or alignment be corrected by taking up on any flange bolts. Flange bolts, union halves,
flexible connectors, etc., shall slip freely into place. If the proper fit is not obtained, the piping shall be
altered to fit.
E. All pipe laid shall be retained in position by mechanical means, if necessary, so as to maintain alignment
and joint closure until sufficient pipe bedding and backfill has been completed to adequately hold the
pipe in place. All pipe shall be laid to conform to the prescribed line and grade shown on the plans,
within specified limits. No blocking of any kind shall be used to adjust the pipe to grade, except when
used with concrete embedment. Bedding materials shall be placed so the bottom surface of the pipe
will have full bearing for the entire barrel length. The pipe shall rest on not less than 1/4 of its outside
perimeter. Bell holes shall be dug as required to assure uniform support along the barrel, but shall be
no larger than necessary.
F. After the pipe is laid, additional bedding material shall be placed in 6-inch lifts to a level even with the
spring line of the pipe. The portion of the trench from the spring line to 12 inches above the top of the
pipe shall then be filled and compacted in the same way.
G. Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, pipe shall be laid upgrade from the point of connection on
the existing pipeline or from a designated starting point. Pipe shall be installed with the bell end forward
or upgrade, unless approved otherwise. When pipe laying is not in progress, the forward end of the pipe
shall be kept closed with an approved temporary plug.
H. Locate culinary water piping at least 10 feet horizontally from any existing or proposed parallel sewer or
wastewater leach line. Should conditions prevent the 10-foot separation, the water line may be laid
closer than 10 feet to sewer lines (but not leach lines) provided:
1. The water line is laid 18 inches above the top of the sewer line, but deep enough to prevent
freezing, and
2. The water line is laid in a separate trench, or
3. The water line is laid on an undisturbed earth shelf on one side of the sewer line trench, or
4. The water line is laid in a sewer or drain line trench, which has been backfilled and compacted to
not less than 95% of maximum density, as determined by ASTM D-690.
I. Where potable water lines cross sewer lines, the water line shall be at least 18 inches above the sewer
line for ten feet on each side of the sewer line, measured as the perpendicular distance from the water
line to the sewer line. When such vertical separation is impossible to achieve, a vertical separation of
less than 18 inches may be allowed provided:
1. Both the water line and the sewer line shall be constructed of ductile iron pipe or thermoplastic pipe
joined by either mechanical or bolted flange joints. Thermoplastic pipe may also use solvent
welded joints, and
2. When making such crossing, install the water line in such manner that the center of a full joint of
pipe is on the centerline of the sewer line to isolate the water line joints as far as possible.
J. Care should be taken to properly align the pipe before joints are forced home. Gaskets shall be
lubricated in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. During insertion of the spigot end, the
pipe shall be partially supported by hand, sling or crane to minimize unequal lateral pressure on the
gasket and to maintain concentricity until the gasket is properly positioned. Since the most flexible
gasketed joints tend to creep apart when the end pipe is deflected and straightened, such movement
shall be held to a minimum once the joint is home.
K. No exposed piping shall be installed until all equipment to which the pipe is to be attached has been
installed and it can be determined where piping and fittings shall be located to make a neat, efficient
arrangement. Piping shall be aligned with equipment connections such that no external load or stress
will be transferred to any equipment from the piping. Piping shall be installed with a sufficient number of
unions, flexible couplings, or flanged joints, in addition to those shown on the Drawings, to allow for
convenient inspection and maintenance.
M. Exposed pipe shall be installed in straight runs parallel to the axis of the structures. Pipe runs shall be
horizontal and vertical; except that gravity drain lines shall be pitched down in the direction of flow at a
slope not less than 1/8 inch per foot.
N. All exposed pipe shall be painted in accordance with these specifications. Factory finished items are not
required to be field painted except touch-up. The color and type of paint used shall be submitted to the
Engineer for approval.
O. Where new fittings, valves, meters, restraints etc., are required to be installed in, or attached to, existing
piping, or where connections are to be made to existing piping, the Contractor shall furnish and install
the necessary components needed to accomplish the Work, whether or not specifically indicated on the
Drawings.
A. The Contractor shall install link seals where required in core drilled structure walls pipe sleeves, or pipe
casings in accordance with the manufactures instructions.
A. The Contractor shall provide either thrust blocks or mechanical pipe restraints in accordance with these
specifications on all piping not connected with bolted flange or welded joints. All restraints shall be in
place before any hydrostatic testing is performed on the system. Pressure pipe shall be properly
blocked or restrained at all fittings; wherever the pipeline makes a change in direction of 11.25 degrees
or more, wherever it changes sizes, or wherever it ends. The Contractor shall allow visual inspection of
every thrust block and mechanical restraint before it is buried.
B. Concrete thrust blocking shall be sized and placed, to provide bearing against undisturbed vertical earth
banks or approved compacted backfill, sufficient to absorb thrust from line pressure. Joints shall be
encased in plastic to prevent concrete from locking the bolts in the event that the line must be reworked.
C. Concrete used for thrust blocks shall have a minimum 28 day compressive strength test of 3500 psi.
D. Mechanical restraint of piping shall be accomplished with one of the following restraining systems or an
approved equal.
E. Grooved Ductile Iron AWWA Couplings by Victaulic Company of America (use only with exposed piping
systems)
G. FIELDLOK ® restraint gaskets by U.S. Pipe Company, ductile iron pipe only.
H. All pressure pipe 12” diameter and larger shall have mechanical restraint furnished and installed at all
joints within 60 feet each way from any bend in addition to thrust blocks shown in the drawings.
I. All joints of pipe installed under stream beds or canal crossings, or installed in casing pipes, shall be
protected with mechanical restraints.
J. Restraint protection of above ground or exposed piping in buildings or enclosures shall be accomplished
only with mechanical restraints.
A. Furnish all equipment and labor required to complete the flushing as required by this section. Prior to
proceeding with pressure testing and disinfection of completed lines, the Contractor shall fill the test
section with clean potable water and flush the lines. Certain contaminants, especially in caked deposits,
