If the applicable unit prices are not contained in the Contract Documents or if the total net change increases or decreases the total contract price more than 25 percent OWNER shall, before ordering CONTRACTOR to proceed with the desired changes, request from it an itemized proposal covering the additional work involved in the change.
E.
Each CHANGE ORDER shall include in its final form: (1)

GENERAL CONDITIONS Louisa County Public Schools Louisa County High School, Louisa County Middle School Jouett Elementary School Restoration Work
March 2015
00700-19
changes in the WORK so ordered by ENGINEER unless CONTRACTOR believes that such Field Order entitles CONTRACTOR to a change in contract price or time, or both, in which event CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER Written Notice thereof within seven (7) days after the receipt of such ordered change. Thereafter CONTRACTOR shall document the basis for the change in contract price or time within 30 days. CONTRACTOR shall not execute such changes pending the receipt of an executed CHANGE ORDER or further instructions from OWNER. 24.0
25.0
CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST/SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS A.
Should CONTRACTOR claim that any instructions by Drawings or otherwise entitles it to a change in contract price or time it shall follow the procedures in Paragraph 23, Changes in the Work.
B.
Claims of additional compensation for extra work, due to alleged errors in ground elevations, contour lines or bench marks, will not be recognized.
C.
Any discrepancies which may be discovered between the actual conditions and those represented by the Contract Documents shall at once be reported to ENGINEER and work shall not proceed except at CONTRACTOR'S risk until written instructions have been issued by OWNER.
D.
ENGINEER shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it is found that such conditions do so materially differ from those upon which the Contract Documents are based, and cause an increase or decrease in the cost of, or time required for, performance of the WORK an equitable adjustment may be made only with the advanced, written consent of the OWNER and the Contract Documents MAY be modified by a CHANGE ORDER.
TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES A.
The date of beginning and the time for completion of the WORK are essential conditions of the Contract Documents and the WORK embraced shall be commenced on the date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
B.
CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the WORK at such rate of PROGRESS to insure full completion within the contract time.

C.
Liquidated Damages for Delays If the WORK is not completed within the time stipulated in the Contract Documents including any extensions of time for excusable delays, as herein provided, CONTRACTOR shall pay to OWNER as fixed, agreed and Liquidated Damages for each calendar day of delay, until the WORK is completed, the amount set forth in the Contract Documents hereof and CONTRACTOR and its sureties shall be liable to OWNER for the amount thereof. These fixed, agreed and Liquidated Damages are being set for delay because fixing actual damages for delay is impractical and extremely difficult. CONTRACTOR shall not be charged with Liquidated Damages or any excess cost when the delay in completion of the WORK is due to the following and CONTRACTOR has promptly given Written Notice of such delay to OWNER and ENGINEER: (1)
To any preference, priority or allocation order duly issued by OWNER.
(2)
To unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of CONTRACTOR, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of OWNER, acts of another CONTRACTOR in the performance of a separate contract with OWNER, fires, floods, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and abnormal and unforeseeable weather; and,
(3)
To any delays of Subcontractors occasioned by any of the causes specified in paragraphs 25.C (1) and 25.C (2) of this Paragraph.
The aforementioned exemptions from payment of Liquidated Damages shall apply only if CONTRACTOR promptly notifies OWNER within 10 days with Written Notice documenting the cause of such delay. Upon receipt of such Notice OWNER shall ascertain the facts and the cause and the extent of such delay. If upon the basis of the facts and the terms of the Contract Documents, the delay is properly excusable, OWNER shall extend the contract time for completion of the WORK for a period commensurate with the period of excusable delay. 26.0
SUSPENSION OF WORK, TERMINATION AND DELAY A.
OWNER may suspend the WORK or any portion thereof for a period of not more than 90 days or such further time as agreed upon by CONTRACTOR by Written Notice to CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER which shall fix the date on which the WORK shall be resumed. CONTRACTOR may be allowed an increase in the
GENERAL CONDITIONS Louisa County Public Schools Louisa County High School, Louisa County Middle School Jouett Elementary School Restoration Work
March 2015
00700-21
contract price, but only with the advance, written approval of the OWNER, or an extension of the contract time, or both, directly attributable to any suspension. B.
If CONTRACTOR is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for CONTRACTOR or for any of its property or if CONTRACTOR filed a petition to take advantage of any debtor's act, or to reorganize under the bankruptcy or applicable laws, or repeatedly fails to make prompt payments to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment, or disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public body having jurisdiction of the WORK, or disregards the authority of ENGINEER, or otherwise violates any provision of the Contract Documents, then OWNER may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy and after giving CONTRACTOR and its surety a minimum of 10 days from delivery of a Written Notice, terminate services of CONTRACTOR and take possession of the Project and all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by CONTRACTOR and finish the WORK by whatever method OWNER may deem expedient. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the WORK is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price exceeds the direct and indirect costs of completing the Project, including compensation for additional professional services, such excess shall be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR will pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by OWNER will be determined by ENGINEER and incorporated in a CHANGE ORDER.
C.
Where CONTRACTOR'S services have been so terminated by OWNER, said termination shall not affect any right of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of monies by OWNER due CONTRACTOR will not release CONTRACTOR from compliance with the Contract Documents.
D.
After 10 days from delivery of a Written Notice to CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER, and OWNER may, without cause or prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect to abandon the Project and to terminate the AGREEMENT. In such case CONTRACTOR shall be paid for all work executed and any expense sustained plus reasonable profit.
E.
If through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the WORK is suspended for a period of more than 90 days by OWNER or under an order of court or other public authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or OWNER fails to pay CONTRACTOR substantially the sum approved by ENGINEER or awarded through the legally recognized disputed claim procedure within 30 days of its approval and presentation, then CONTRACTOR may, after 10 days from delivery of a Written Notice to OWNER terminate the AGREEMENT and recover from OWNER payment for all WORK executed and expenses sustained. In addition and in lieu of terminating the AGREEMENT, if ENGINEER has failed to act
GENERAL CONDITIONS Louisa County Public Schools Louisa County High School, Louisa County Middle School Jouett Elementary School Restoration Work
March 2015
00700-22
on an Application for Payment or if OWNER has failed to make any payment as aforesaid, CONTRACTOR may upon 10 days Written Notice to OWNER and ENGINEER stop the WORK until all amounts then due are paid, in which event and upon resumption of the WORK CHANGE ORDERS may be issued adjusting the contract price, but only with the advance, written approval by the OWENR, or extending the contract time, or both, to compensate for the costs and delays attributable to the stoppage of the WORK.

B.
All removal and replacement WORK shall be performed solely at CONTRACTOR'S expense. If CONTRACTOR does not take action to remove such rejected WORK within 10 days after receipt of Written Notice, OWNER may remove such WORK and store the materials at the expense of CONTRACTOR.
C.
If OWNER deems it not expedient to require CONTRACTOR to correct WORK not done in accordance with the Contract Documents, an AGREEMENT may be made between OWNER and CONTRACTOR for a change in contract price with an equitable deduction in lieu of replacement and removal.
CLEAN-UP REQUIREMENTS A.
The construction premises, job sites and any property leased for storage of equipment or materials shall be maintained by CONTRACTOR in reasonably neat and orderly condition, free from accumulation of waste material and rubbish during the entire construction period. All crates, cartons and other flammable and trash shall be removed from work areas at the end of each working day.

Any objection OWNER may have concerning the proposed Subcontract shall be expressed in writing within seven (7) days after receipt by OWNER of CONTRACTOR'S proposal of a Subcontractor.
C.
OWNER may, without claim for extra cost by CONTRACTOR, disapprove of any Subcontractor based upon its own determination, or because of the fact that the proposed Subcontractor is listed as ineligible to receive Award of Contracts for federally funded jobs due to being listed as debarred by the U. S. Department of Labor, or the Commonwealth of Virginia.
D.
CONTRACTOR shall be as fully responsible for the acts and omissions of its Subcontractors, and for persons either directly or indirectly employed by them, as CONTRACTOR is for the acts and omissions of persons employed by CONTRACTOR.

2.
claims have been filed or there is reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing thereof,
3.
the contract price has been reduced because of Modifications, or,

Cooperation by Contractors A.
Where work by one (1) contractor connects to work by another contractor, both contractors shall consult each other and arrangements shall be made to provide a feasible method of interconnection. Arrangements shall be made as to the procedure by the first contractor to bring its work to the point of connection. In case of disagreement, ENGINEER shall be consulted as to the intent of the Drawings and Specifications.

The same procedure shall apply where work of two (2) contractors is adjacent and could interfere with the work of the other contractor.
C.
It is the intent of these Specifications that contractors working simultaneously on the premises cooperate with each other, without argument, and in the timely prosecution of the WORK.

Time Extensions It has been determined that it is not possible to ascertain actual damages to OWNER by reason of failure of CONTRACTOR to complete the WORK embraced by the Contract Documents on or before the date set for completion; therefore, Liquidated Damages will be assessed at the rate identified in the Bid for each consecutive calendar day of delay exceeding the contract time or extensions thereof as may be granted in accordance with SECTION 25, GENERAL CONDITIONS. Time is of the essence for this Project, and the dates allowed for completion of the WORK under this AGREEMENT take into consideration "normal" weather conditions usually prevailing for the time of year during which construction will be undertaken. When establishing the contract time, an allowance has been made for four (4) calendar days of work lost per month due to inclement weather conditions. The CONTRACTOR, at the time of each periodic pay request, shall submit to the ENGINEER and OWNER for approval a list of all working days lost due to either inclement weather or site conditions caused by inclement weather for the period. Accompanying his list should be a summary of the specific conditions which caused the loss. This request will be reviewed by the ENGINEER in light of observations made by the ENGINEER and resident inspector. Approval of the periodic payment estimate by the ENGINEER and OWNER will also include approval of the weather delay request. After substantial completion, and not until then, a change order must be executed if a time extension for weather related delays is requested by the CONTRACTOR. The time extension must be based solely on the time requested within the periodic payment estimates. Subtracted from this time will be the four (4) days per month allowance assumed in the contract. There cannot be a decrease in contract length if the allowance for inclement weather exceeds the actual number of days lost due to inclement weather. To convert working days into calendar days, multiply the working days by seven (7) and divide by the number of working days in a typical work week.

Project Closeout A.
CONTRACTOR will be required to clean up its operations as WORK progresses and just prior to start-up and testing. All cleanup operations must be completed to the satisfaction of OWNER and ENGINEER. This shall apply to the general appearance of the construction area as well as cleanliness of equipment. All potable water pipe shall be cleaned as described in the applicable pipe Section of the Specifications.
B.
Upon completion of the WORK and prior to Final Payment, CONTRACTOR shall turn the WORK over to OWNER in operating condition. To accomplish this, testing shall be deemed a part of the WORK. The tests shall demonstrate successful operation of the entire Project prior to OWNER'S acceptance of the WORK. CONTRACTOR shall furnish labor and all other materials, equipment, and instruments necessary for all acceptance tests at no additional cost to OWNER.

These Drawings shall be reviewed and approved by ENGINEER. Incomplete and/or illegible Record Drawings will be returned to CONTRACTOR for revision/correction until such time as they are deemed acceptable by ENGINEER.
Work Outside Regular Hours If the CONTRACTOR desires to perform work outside the regular hours or on Saturday, he shall request permission to work 48 hours in advance to allow arrangements to be made for proper inspection. The OWNER may refuse the CONTRACTOR permission to work if the 48-hour notice is not given or for other just cause. Reasonable efforts shall be made by the CONTRACTOR to avoid undue noise during the night and on Sundays, if it is necessary to work at such times. Under normal circumstances the CONTRACTOR will not be permitted to work on Sundays. Unless specifically scheduled to work outside normal hours by the OWNER in the interest of public safety or convenience, then the CONTRACTOR will be liable for the expense of overtime work required by OWNER'S and/or ENGINEER'S employees. This expense includes but is not limited to OWNER and ENGINEER called to the job site outside normal working hours to resolve problems directly related to the project. Normal or regular working hours are defined as 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. The OWNER reserves the right to schedule the CONTRACTOR to work outside normal working hours in the interest of public safety or convenience.

PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1
METHODS A.
Method: Dewatering can be accomplished by ordinary pumping methods, by the use of under drains or deep well points, whichever will produce the above results. In order to assure the continuous dewatering, duplicate units of the selected system incorporated with emergency power should be employed so that a reliable operation may be obtained.
B.
Location: All site WORK areas shall be dewatered where surface, leachate and/or ground water flows, if any, will adversely impact construction.
C.
Maintenance: All permanent improvements shall be constructed in areas free from water. Construct and maintain all permanent or temporary slopes, dikes, levees, drainage ditches, sumps, and observation wells necessary for the removal of water from WORK areas. Design, furnish, install, maintain, and operate all necessary pumping and other dewatering equipment required for dewatering the various site WORK areas and for keeping the foundation and other areas free from water from any and all sources.
D.
Schedule: All dewatering shall be performed in advance of grading, excavation and/or filling. The dewatering shall be accomplished in a manner that will prevent loss of fines from the foundation, will maintain stability of all excavated slopes and bottoms of excavations, and will permit all construction operations to be performed in the dry. Dewatering of excavations shall be performed to the extent required to permit placement of compacted fill materials in the dry and to prevent sloughing of the excavation side slopes.
E.
Requirements: Lower the ground water level a minimum of 3 feet below subfoundation grade or as recommended by Geotechnical Engineer prior to subfoundation preparation and placement of foundation materials. During the placement and compaction of fill or bedding materials, the water level at every point within the limits of fills being placed shall be maintained a minimum of 3 feet or greater or as recommended by Geotechnical Engineer below fill placement level in order that the required compaction can be achieved. Where conditions are such that running or standing water occur in the trench bottom or the soil in the trench bottom displays a "quick" tendency, the water shall be removed by pumps and suitable means such as well points or previous under drain bedding until the pipe has been installed and the backfill has been placed to a sufficient height to prevent pipe flotation.
F.
No installation will be permitted in trenches unless the subgrade is dry. If, in the opinion of the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR has failed to obtain an absolutely dry trench bottom by use of all known methods of trench dewatering, the ENGINEER
DEWATERING Louisa County Public Schools Louisa County High School, Louisa County Middle School Jouett Elementary School Restoration Work

02140 - 2
may then order the CONTRACTOR to excavate below grade and place sufficient selected fill material over the trench bottom. Additional excavation and fill shall meet the requirements of Section 02270 and be at no extra cost. 3.2
3.3
PROTECTION OF FOUNDATIONS AND EXISTING FACILITIES A.
Contingency: Furnish standby equipment of sufficient size and capacity to insure continuous operation of the dewatering system. Any damage to structures due to a failure of dewatering equipment shall be repaired by CONTRACTOR at its expense, to the satisfaction of ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR may consider the use of recharge systems or other methods of protection of existing facilities.
B.
Completion: Dewatering shall be maintained in the WORK areas for as long as is necessary for the completion of WORK. Upon completion of the dewatering and control of water operation, all temporary dewatering facilities shall be removed in a manner satisfactory to ENGINEER.
DISPOSAL OF DRAINAGE WATER The disposal of all water from the dewatering and control of water operation and surface drainage shall be accomplished in a manner to have no detrimental effect on any of the new or existing facilities. The method and location of disposal of all water shall be subject to the approval of ENGINEER; in addition, no water shall be drained into WORK completed or under construction without prior consent of ENGINEER. All Commonwealth of Virginia erosion and sediment control requirements shall be met. END OF SECTION 02140
