of the work ocoacioned by any of the hereinabove causes.
G 6.19 No WAIVM- OR LM',L RIGHT:
Inspection of the Engineer, any order, measurement, quantity or certificate
by the Engineer: any order by the City for payment of money, any pay-
ment for or ar;atance of any work, or any extension of time, or any"
possession taken by the City, shall not operate as a waiver of any pro-
visions of the contractor or any power therein reserved to the City of
any rights or damages therein provided. Any waiver of any breach of con-
tract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequefit breach.
The City reserves the right to correct any error that may be discovered
in any estimate th-t may have been paid and to adjust the same to meet
the requirements of the contract and specifications. The City reserves
the right to claim and recover by process of law sums as may be suffi-
cient to correct any error or make good any deficiency in the work
resulting from such error, dishonesty or collusion, upon the conclusive
proof of collusion or dishonesty by the contractor or his agents and
the Engineer or his assistants, discovered in the work after the final
payment has been made.
SECTION G 7 - PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS:
G 7.1 SUBLETTING THE WORK:
The contractor shall perform with his own organization and with the assistance
of workmen under his immediate superintendence, work of a value not less than
(75) per cent of the value of all work embraced in the contract exclusive
of items not commonly found in contracts for similar work, or which require
highly specialized knowledge, craftsmanship and /or equipment not ordinarily
available in the organizations of contractors performing work of the
character embraced in the contract.
No portion of the work covered by these specifications and contract except
contracts for purchase and delivery of materials, shall be sublet without
written permission of the City. If the contractor sublets any part of the
work to be done under this contract, he will not under any circumstances
be relieved of his responsibility and obligations. All transactions of the
Engineer will be with the contractor. Subcontractors will be considered
only in the capacity of employees or workmen, and shall be subject to the
same requirements as to character and competency. The City will not recog-
nize any subcontractor on the work. The contractor shall at all times
when the work is in operation be represented either in person or by a
qualified superintendent or other designated representative.
G 7.2 ASSIGNIENT OF CONTRACT:
The contractor shall not assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of
G-17
the contract or his right, title or interest in or to the same, or, any
part thereof, without the previous consent of the dAY expressed by resolu-
tion of the City Council and concurred in by the sureties: If the contract-
or does without such previous consent assign, transfer, convey or othet=
wise dispose of the contract or of his right, title or interest therein,
or any part thereof to any person or persons, partnership, company, firm
or corporation, or by bankruptcy, voluntary or involuntary, or by assign
ment under the insolvency laws of any state, attempt to dispose of the
contract or make default in or abandon said contract, then the contract
may at the option of the City be revoked and annulled, unless the sureties
shall successfully complete said contract, and any moneys due or to become
due under said contract shall be retained by the City as liquidated damages
for the reason that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to
fix the actual damages.
G 7.3 PROSECUTION OF THE WORK:
The contractor shall begin the work to be performed under this contract
within the time limit stated in these specifications, and shall conduct
the work in such a manner and with sufficient equipment, materials and
labor as is necessary to insure its completion within the time limit.
The sequence of all construction operations shall be at all times as
directed by or approved by the Engineer, Such direction or approval by the
Engineer shall not relieve the contractor from the full responsibility of
the complete performance of the contract. Should the prosecution of the
work be discontinued by the contractor, he shall notify the Engineer at
least twenty -four (24) hours in advance of resuming operations.
G 7.4 LI14I TATION OF OPERATIONS:
The work shall be so conducted as to create a minimum amount of inconveni-
ences to the public. At any time when in the judgment of the Engineer the
contractor has obstructed or closes or is carrying on operations on a
greater portion of the street or public way than is necessary for the
proper execution of the work, the Engineer may require the contractor to
finish the sections on which work is in progress before operations are
started on any additional section.
G 7.5 CHARACTER OF WRIWN AND EQUIPMENT:
The contractor shall employ such superintendents, foremen and workmen as are
careful and competent, and the Engineer may demand the dismissal of any
person or persons employed by the contractor in, about or on the work who
shall misconduct himself or be incompetent or negligent in the proper
performance of his or their duties or neglect or refuse to comply with the
directions of the Engineer, and such person or persons shall not be
employed thereon again without the written consent of the Engineer. E'11
workmen shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform properly the
work assigned them. The contractor shall furnish such equipment as is
considered necessary for the prosecution of the work in an acceptable manner,
and at a satisfactory rate of progress. All equipment, tools and machinery
used for handling materials and executing any part of the work shall be
subject to the approval of the Engineer, and shall be maintained in a
satisfactory working condition. Equipment on any portion of the work shall
be such that no injury to the work or adjacent property will result from
its use.
G-18
G 7,6 DAYIS WORK: WORKING HOURS
Work shall be done only during the regular and commonly accepted and pres-
cribed working hours. No work shall be done nights, Sundays or regular holi-
days, unless special permission is given by the Engineer. Eight (8) hours
sh.11 conaitmte a day to work in any one (1) calendar day for all workmen
and laborers employed on the work and under the contract, and the contractor
shall not require or permit any workmen or laborer to work more than eight
hours per calendar day, except in cases of emergency as provided by law.
G 7.7 TIME OF COMENC MENT AND COMPLETION:
The contractor shall conmzence the work within the time specified, and the
rate of progress shall be such that the whole work will be performed and
the premises cleaned upin accordance with the contract, plans and speci-
fications within the time limit specified in the contract, unless an exten-
sion of time be made in the manner hereinafter specified.
G 7.8 EXTENSION OF TIME OF COMPLETION:
The contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time as provided herein
only when claim for such extension is submitted to the City in writing by
the contractor within seven (7) days from and after the time when any
alleged cause of delay shall occur, and then only when such claim is
approved by the City. In adjusting the contract time for the completion of
the project, unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the
fault or neg;_igoLce of the contractor, including but not restricted to
inability to obtain supplies and materisls, acts of God, or the public
enemy, acts of the owner, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions,
strikes, freight embargoes, unusually severe weather conditions or delays
of subcontractors due to such causes. If the satisfactory executi6n and
completion of the contract should require work and materials in a greater
amount or quantities than those set forth in the contract, then the
contract time shall automatically be increased in the same proportion
as the cost of the additional work bears to the cost of the original work
contracted for. No allowance will be made for delays or suspension of the
prosecution of the work due to the fault of the contractor.
G 7.9 FAILURE To COMPLETE ON TIME:
The time of completion is the essence of the contract. For each calendar
day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in the
proposal and contract, or the increased time granted by the City, or
as automatically increased by additional work or materials ordered after
the contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following schedule,
unless otherwise specified in the special provisions, will be deducted
from the moneys due the contractor, not as a penalty but as liquidated
damages.
Amount of Contract Amount of Liquidated
Damages per day
Less than 5,000.00 S 15.00
5,000..00 to 15,000.00 17.00
15,000.00 to 25,000.00 20.00
25,000.00 to 50,000.00 25.00
50,000.00 to 100,000.00 35.00
More than 100,000.00 50.00
G-19
The sum of money thus deducted for such delay, failure or non - completion
is not to be considered as a penalty, but shall be deemed, taken and
treated as reasonable liquidated damages, since it would be impracticable
and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages.
G 7,10 SUSPENSION BY COURT ORDER:
The con'3cact,,r stall suspend such cart or parts of the work ordered by
the court; and will not be entitled to additional compensation by virtue
of such court orda_, Neither will he be liable to the City in the event
the work is suspended by Court order.
G 7.11 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION:
The Engineer shall have the authority to suspend the work wholly or in
part for such period or periods as he may deem necessary due to unsuitable
weatherecconditions as are considered unfavorable for the suitable prosecution
of the work. If it should become necessary to stop work for an indefinite
period, the contractor shall store all materials in such manner that
they will not obstruct or impede the public unnecessarily nor become dam -
agcd in any way, and he shall take every precaution to prevent damage or
deterioration of the work performed; he shall provide suitable drainage
about the work and erect temporary structure where necessary. The contract-
or shall not suspend work without written authority from the Fngineer, and
shall proceed with work promptly when notified by the Engineer to resume
operations.
G 7.12 SUSPENSION OF WORK AND ANNULMENT OF CONTRACT:
The work or any portion of the work under. contract shall be suspended im-
mediately on written order of the Engineer or the City-Manager, a copy of
such notice to be served on the contractor's sureties, or the contract'
may be annulled by the City for any good cause or causes, among others of
which special reference is made to the following:
(a) Failure of the contractor to start the work within ten days from date
of written notice by the City to begin the work.,
(b) Substantial evidence that the progress of the work being made by the
contractor is insufficient to complete the work within the specified
tiiae,
(c) Fa-'lure of the contractor to provide sufficient and proper equipment
for properly executing the work.
(d) Substantial evidence that the contractor has abandoned the work.
(e) Substantial evidence that the contractor has become insolvent or bank-
rupt, or otherwise financially unable to carry on the work.
(f) Deliberate failure on the part of the contractor to observe any
requirements of these specifications or to comply with any orders given
by the Engineer as provided for in these specifications.
G -20
(g) Failure of the contractor promptly to make good any defects in ma-
terials or workmanship, or any defects of any nature, the correction
or which has been directed in writing by the Engineer.
(h) Substantial evidence of collusion for the purpose of illegally pro-
curing a contract or perpetrating fraud on the City in the construct-
ion of the worlc under contract.
When the wor'.c is suspended for any of the causes itemized above, or
for any other cua.se or causes, the contractor shall discontinue the
work or such part thereof as the City shall designate, whereupon the
sureties may at their option assume the contract or that portion
thereof which the City has ordered the contractor to discontinue, and
may perform the same or may, with the written consent of the City sub-
let the wort. or that uortion of the work so taken over, provided, how-
ever, that the sureties shall exercise their option, if at all within
two (2) weeks after the written notice to discontinue the work
has been served upon the contractor and upon the sureties or their
authorized agents. T":e sureties in such event shall assume the
contractor's place in all respects, and shall be paid by the
City for all work performed by them in accordance with the terms
of the contract, All moneys remaining duo the Contractor at the
time of his default shall thereupon become due and payable to the
surrties as the work progressesi subject to all the terms of the
contract. In case the sureties do not within the hereinabove speci-
fied time, exercise their right and option to assume the contract or
that portion thereof which the City has ordered the contractor to
discontinue, then the City shall have the power to complete by
contract or otherwise, as it may deem necessary, and the contractor
hereto agrees that the City shall have the right to take possession
of and use any of the materials,.plant, tool, equipment, supplies,
and property of every kind provided by the contractor for the pur-
pose of his work and to procure other tools, equipment and materials
for the completion of the same, and to charge to the account of the
contractor the expense of said contract or labor, materials, tools,
equipment and expenses incident thereto. The expense so charged shall
be deducted by the City out of such moneys as may be due or may at
any time thereafter becomo due the contractor under and by virtue
of the contractor under and by virtue of the contract or any pert
thereof. T-e City shall not be required to obtain the lowest bid
for the wort: of completing the contract, but the expenses to be.
deducted shall be the actual cost of such work. In case such ex-
pense is less than the sum which would have been payable under the
contract if the same had been completed by the contractor, then
in such case, the City may pay to the contractor the difference
in the cost, provided that the contractor shall not be entitled
to any claim for damages or for loss of anticipated profits, in
G -21
case such expense shall exceed the amount which would have been
payable under the contract if the dam had been completed by the
contractor, then the contracter and his sureties shall pay the
amount of such excess to the city on notice from the City
of the excess due. Tihen any particular part of the work is
being carried on by the city by contract or otherwise under
the provisions of this section, the contractorf shall continue
the remainder of the work in conformity with the terms of the
contract, and in such manner as in nowise to hinder or interfere
with the performance of workmen employed as above provided by
the City.

crete conforming to the requirements of Table A shall be d'termined by means
of laboratory tests of concrete made with the cement and aggregates to be
used on the work. At least 35 days prior to the beginning of concrete work
the Contractor shall submit, for approval, samples of the materials he
proposes to use. Prior to the beginning of work he shall also submit a
statement of the proportions proposed for the concrete mixture. This shall
be accompanied by a report in detail from an approved testing laboratory
or inspection service showing for at least 3 different water contents the
7 -day and 28 -day concrete strengths obtained when using the materials pro-
posed for the work. The strength determinations shall be based on not
less than 5 concrete test specimens for each age and for each water content.
The Engineer shall have the right to make check tests of concrete, using
the same materials, and to order such changes as may be necessary to meet
the requirements of the specifications.
The ratio between the 7 -day and 28 -day strengths established by the pre-
liminary tests shall be used to determine the 7 -day strengths necessary
to satisfy the 28 -day strength requirements of 'Table A. This ratio shall
be modified as the work progresses as may be indicated by the results of
tests made.
In the event that the Contractor furnishes reliable test records of con-
crete made with materials from the same sources and of the same quality in
connection with current work, all or a part of the strength tests specified
hereinbefore may be waived by the Engineer.
The concrete shall be of such consistency and composition that it can be
worked readily into the corners and angles of the forms and around the
reinforcement without permitting the materials to segregate or free water
to collect on the surface. Subject to the limiting requirements of Table.A,
the Contractor shall adjust the proportions of cement and aggregate as may
be necessary to produce a mixture which will be easily placeable at all
times, due consideration being given to the methods of placing and compact-
ing used on the work.
Ahen high frequency mechanical vibration is used for compacting concrete,
the limiting consistencies in Table A may be modified subject to the
approval of the engineer. The Proportions and consistencies, however,
shall be such that with the vibratory equipment in use the full require-
ments of workability shall be satisfied.
If, daring the progress of the work, it is found impossible to secure con-
crete of the required workability and strength with the materials being
furnished by the Contractor, the l�ngineer may order such changes in pro-
portions or materials, or both, as may be necessary to secure the desired
S 40-4
properties, subject to the limiting requirements shown in Table A. Arty
changes so ordered shall be made at the Contractor's expense, and no extra
compensation will be allowed by reason of such changes.
If, during the progress of the work, the Contractor desires to use materials
other than those originally approved, or if the materials from the sources
originally approved change in characteristics, he shall submit for approval,
evidence satisfactory to the Engineer that the new combination of materials
will produce concrete meeting the requirements shown in Table A, and will
not bring about objectionable changes in the color or appearance, of the
structure.
Regardless of the limitations of Table A. at any time during the progress of
the work, the owner shall have the right to make such changes in the materials
or proportions, or both, as he may consider necessary to meet the requirements
of the structure. In such case, the Contractor shall be compensated in ac-
cordance with the terms of the contract for the additional cost of materials
and additional handling and placing costs, if ally, entailed by changed
materials or mixtures, or both, which are not covered by the specification
requirements shown in Table A for the respective portions of the work in-
volved.
When high early strength portland cement is used in lieu of normal portland
cement, the requirements given in Table A shall apply, except that the
"Minimum allowable strength at 28 days" specified for normal portland cement
shall be the minimum allowable strength at 7 days. The ages at time of test
specified in S 40.7 shall be 3 days and 7 days in lieu of the 7 -day and
28 -day ages specified for normal portland cement.
S 40.8 M71im
The mixing equipment shall be capable of combining the aggregates, cement,
and water within the specified time into a thoroughly mixed and uniform
mass, and of discharging the mixture without segregation.
Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, the mixing of concrete shall be
done in a batch mixer of approved type which will insure a uniform distri-
bution of the material throughout the mass. The equipment at the mixing
plant shall be so constructed 'that all materials (including the water) enter-
ing the drum can be accurately proportioned and be under control. The entire
batch shall be discharged before recharging. The volume of the mixed material
per batcli shall not exceed the manufacturer's ratod capacity of the mixer.
Except as qualified hereinafter mixing of each batch shall continue for the
periods indicated below, during which time the drum shall rotate at a peri-
pheral speed of about 200 feet per minute. The mixing periods shall be
measured from the time when all of the solid materials are in the mixer drum,
provided that all of the mixing water shall be introduced before one - fourth
of the mixing time has elapsed.
Mixing time shall be as follows:
1. For mixers of a capacity of one cubic yard or less - -1 minute.
2. For mixers of capacities larger than one cubic yard, the time
S 40-5
Of riyin ;! shall be increased 15 i3cco,,Ids for each additional half -cubic
.lard cadacity or fraction thereof.
Truck mixers, unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, shall be of the
revolving drum type, watertight, and so constructed that the concrete can be
mixed to insure a uniform distribution of materials throughout the m ass. All
solid materials for the concrete shall be accurately measured and charged into
the drum at the proportioning plant - Except as subsequently provided, the
truck mixer shall be equipped with a tank for carrying mixing water. Only the
prescribed amount of water shall be placed in the tank unless the tank is
equipped with a device by which the quantity of water added can be readily
verified. The mixing water may be added directly to the batch, in which case
a tank shall not be required. Truck mixers may be required to be provided with
means by which the mixing time can be readily verified by the Engineer. The
maximum size of batch in truck mixers shall be in accordance with the specified
rating. Truck mixing shall be continued for not less than fifty revolutions
after all ingredients, including water,'are in the drum. The speed shall not
be less than 4 r.p.m., nor more than a speed resulting in a peripheral velocity
of the drum of 225 feet per minutes Not more than 150 revolutions of mixing
shall be at a speed in excess of 6 r.p.m. Mixing shall begin within 30 min-
utes after the been added either to the water or aggregate.
YVhen a truck mixer, or an agitator provided with adequate mixing blades, is
used for transportation, the mixing time at the stationary machine mixer
may be reduced to 30 seconds and the mixing completed in a truck mixer or
agitator. The mixing time in the truck mixer or agitator equipped with ade-
quate mixing blades shall be as specified for truck mixing.
Concrete transported in a truck mixer, agitator, or other transportation
device shall be discharged at the job within l; hours after the cement has

All water shall be removed from the space to be occupied by the concrete
before concrete is deposited, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Any
flow of water into an excavation shall be diverted through proper side drains
to a sump, or be removed by other approved methods which will avoid washing
the freshly deposited concrete. If directed by the Engineer water vant pipes
and drains shall be filled by grouting or otherwise after the concrete has
thoroughly hardened.
Concrete shall be handled from the mixer, or in the case of ready -mixed con-
crete, from the transporting vehicle, to be placed of final deposit as rapidly
as practicable by methods which shall prevent the se.>aration or loss of the
ingredients. Under no circumstances shall concrete that has partially
hardened be deposited in the work. Concrete shall be deposited in the forms
as nearly as practicable in its final position to avoid rehandling. It shall
be so deposited as to maintain, until the completion of the unit, a plastic
surface approximately horizontal. Forms for walls or thin sections of con-
siderable height shall be provided with openings or other devices that will
permit the concrete to be placed in a manner that will prevent segregation
and accumulations of hardened concrete on the forms or metal reinforcement
above the level of the concrete.
Concrete, regardless of the type of transporting vehicle, shall have when de-
posited in the forms the quality required.
vdhen concrete is conveyed by chutes, the equipment shall be of such size and
design as to insure a continuous flow in the chute. The chutes shall be of
metal or meta], lined and the different portions shall have approximately the
same slope. The slope shall not be less than one vertical to two horizontal
and shall be such as to prevent the segregation of the ingredients. The
discharge end of the chute shall be provided with a baffle plate to prevent
segregation. If the distance of the discharge end of the chute above the
surface of the concrete is more than three times the thickness of the layer
being deposited, but not more than 5 feet above the surface of the concrete,
a spout shall be used, and the lower end maintained as near the surface of
deposit as practicable. Nhen the operation is intermittent, the chute shall
discharge into a hopper. The chute shall be thoroughly cleaned before and
after each run and the debris and any water used shall be discharged outside
the forms.
Concrete, during and immediately after depositin& shall be thoroughly com-
pacted by means of suitable tools. For thin walls or inacessible portions
of the forms, where spading, rodding, or forking is impracticable, the con-
crete shall be worked into place by vibrating, or hammering the forms lightly
opposite the freshly deposited concrete. The concrete shall be thoroughly
worked around the reinforcement, and around embedded fixtures, and into the
corner of the forms.
Accumulations of water on the surface of the concrete due to water gain,
segregation or other causes, during placement and compacting, shall be pre-
vented as far as possible by adjustments in the mixture. Provision shall
be made for the removal of such water as may accumulate so that under no
circumstances will concrete be placed in such accumulations.
5 40 -7
Concrete may be compacted by mechanical vibration. khen mechanical vibration
is used the number and type of vibrators shall be subject to the approval of
the Engineer.
Concrete shall be deposited continuously, or in layers of such thickness
that no concrete will be deposited on concrete which has hardened sufficiently
to cause the formation of seams and planes of weakness within the section.
If a section cannot be placed continuously, construction joints may be located
at points as provided for in the drawings or as approved by the Engineer.
Before depositing new concrete on or against concrete which has hardened,
the forms shall be retightened. The surface of the hardened concrete shall
be roughened as required by the Engineer, in a manner that will not leave
loosened particles of aggregate or damaged concrete at the surface. It shall
be thoroughly cleaned of foreign matter and laitance, and saturated with
water. To insure an excess of mortar at the juncture of the hardened and
the newly deposited concrete, the cleaned and saturated surfaces, including
vertical and inclined surfaces, shall first be thoroughly covered with a
coating of mortar or neat cement grout against which the new concrete shall
be placed before the grout has attained its initial set.
dhen it is necessary to deposit concrete under water, the methods, equipment,
materials, and proportions of the mixture to be used shall be submitted to
and be approved by the Engineer before the work is started.
S 10.10 CURING OF CONCRETE
When not otherwise specified, all exposed concrete surfaces when not pro-
tected by forms, must be kept constantly wet for a period of not less than
4 days after concrete is placed, when normal Portland cement is used, and
not lass than 48 hours when high early strength portland cement is used.
'i7aid surface applications to .prevent or minimize evaporation may be used
in lieu of wet curing only when approved by the Engineer.
S 10.11 FIELD TESTS OF CMiCRETE
During the progress of construction, the Engineer will have tests made to
determine whether the concrete as being produced complies with the standards
of quality specified. The Contractor shall cooperate in the making of such
tests to the extent of allowing free access to the work for the selection
of samples and storage of specimens, and in affording protection to the
specimens against injury or loss through his operations.
Three cylinders or beams will generally be made for each class of concrete
used in any one day's operation. In special cases this normal number of
control specimens may be exceeded when in the opinion of the Engineer such
additional tests are necessary. The Contractor, however, shall not be re-
quired to furnish for such additional tests more than 2 Cu. ft, of concrete
from each 100 cu. yd. of concrete being placed.
Samples of concrete for test specimens shall be taken at the mixer, or in the
case of .ready mixed concrete, from the transportation vehicle during discharge.
Whin, in the opinion of the Engineer, it is desirable to take samples else-
where, they shall be taken as directed by him. The test specimens shall be
5 hG -8
molded immediately after the sample is taken, placed in a protected spot and
kept under moist curing conditions at approximately 700 F for 24 hours,
whereupon they shall be removed to the testing laboratory. In the laboratory
they shall be kept under standard moist curing conditions at 700 F (plus or
minus 50 F) until time of test and shall be tested in the damp condition.
The tests shall be made at the age of the concrete corresponding to that for
which the strengths are specified in Table A.
For compression tests, the size of cylinder and the manner of molding, capping,
and testing shall be in accordance with the A.S.T.M. Standard Method of Test
for Compressive Strength of Concrete (A.S.T.M. Designation: C39 -39).
s 40.12 FAILURE TO MEET STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS
Should the strengths shown by the test specimens made and tested fall below
the values required, the Engineer shall have the right to require changes in
proportions as outlined in S 40.7 to apply on the remainder of the work.
Furthermore, the Engineer shall have the right to require additional curing
on those portions of the structure represented by the test specimens which
failed. In the event that such additional curing does not give the strength
required the Engineer shall have the right to require strengthening or
removal and replacement of those portions of the structure which fail to
develop the required strength.
The specimens will oe considered to have failed when the average strength
for any period of placing is less than the values indicated in the following
table:
No-Days onsecutive P acing Per Cent of Strength Specified
of Any One Class of
Concrete
1 85
2 90
5 or3more 100
When additional curing of portions of the structure is ordered by the
Engineer, it shall be done at the Contractor's expense and no claim for extra
compensation for such additional curing shall be allowed. Such additional
curing shall consist in an extension of the periods of protection specified
as may, in the judgment of the Engineer, be necessary. In no case, however,
shall t1le Contractor be required to provide such additional curing beyond a
total of 21 days, except where the average strengths of specimens, represent-
ing concrete placed on arW three consecutive days, fall below 80 per cent
of the value specified in Table A. In this case, curing shall be continued
until cores drilled from portions of the structure involved show an average
strength equal to that specified in Table A. Cores for this purpose shall
have a diameter of approximately three times the maximum size of aggregate
and shall be secured, capped, and tested in accordance with Standard Methods
of Securing Specimens of Hardened Concrete from the Structure (A.S.T.M.
Designation: C42 -39).
s 40.13 MEASURFIENT
'here concrete is listed as a separate contract -pay item, measurement for
payment will be made by the cubic yard of the acceptable concrete, of the
class specified, complete in place.
Nhere concrete is not listed as a separate pay item, the concrete furnished
under this specification will not be paid for directly but shall be included
in the unit price bid for monolithic sewer, manholes, inlets, or other per
linear foot or lump sum structure.
S 40.14 PAYizw
Where concrete ira listed as a separate contract pay Item, payment vrill be
made at the contract unit price bid >er cubic yard for the number of cubic
,yards placed in accordance with the plans and specifications. Such unit
price bid will be the total compensation for all labor, materials, tools,
equipment, forms, falsework, sheeting, shoring, bracing, pumping and all
other incidentals necessary to complete the work.

of work,
4. All extra work not bid upon in the proposal which may be required
to be done under this contract, shall be paid for as provided by the
specifications hereto attached,
5. Said compensation shall be paid to the said Contractor, and at
the time and in the manner, as follows, to -wit-.
(a) That the City of Corpus Christi shall pay to the Contractor all
of the cost of the construction, within the intersection of said streets
with other streets and alleys,
All payments to be made by the City to the Contractor shall be
upon the written estimates of the City Engineer, eighty -five percent
(85 %) of which estimates shall be payable within the time after said
estimates are furnished as provided for in the attached General Require-
ments, fifteen percent �15 %) being retained and reserved until the com-
-2-
pletion of the work and its acceptance by the City, and no estimates shall
be given at any time, except upon such portions of the work as has been
actually completed and upon acceptable nonperishable material delivered to
the work as hereinafter provided for in the said General Requirements.
In making said estimates the City Engineer shall separately estimate
the amount of work and labor done, chargeable against the City of Corpus
Christi, Texas, and against the Owners of property abutting on said street,
under the terms of the contract. When the entire work has been completed,
and accepted by the City, the whole amount payable by the City of Corpus
Christi, Texas, shall then be paid to the Contractor, including all sums
held back in reserve from prior estimates, under the terms hereof.
All estimates paid to the Contractor during the progress of the work
shall be based upon the City of Corpus Christi, Texas' portion of the cost
of said paving, and no portion of the paving certificates to be taken by
the Contractor shall enter into said estimate nor shall any part of the
assignable paving certificates to be issued to the Contractor be paid until
after the paving has been completed and accepted in accordance with the
terms and provisions of the contract.
(b) That the owners of property abutting upon said streets named
shall pay to the Contractor the whole cost of construction in front of their
respective property. Should the amount to be paid by said property owners,
and which may be assessed against said abutting property and its owners,
result in individual cases in an assessment in excess of special benefits
received from said improvements, then said council shall adopt such rule
of apportionment as shall effect substantial equality between said owners,
considering the benefits received by and burdens imposed upon them and
their property,
That the portion of the cost of said improvement, which shall be pay-
able by the owners of said abutting property, shall be paid within twenty
days (20) after the completion of said improvement, and the acceptance there-
of by the City, either all in cash, or fifty percent (50 %) cash within
twenty days (20) after the completion of said work and its acceptance by
the City, and fifty percent (50 %) on or before one year, after completion
of said work and its acceptance by the City, with interest from day of such
com letion and acceptance by the City until paid at the rate of five percent
(5 %) per annum. That the amount to be paid by each owner of property abutting
upon said street shall be secured by a lien upon said property and a personal
claim of liability against the owner thereof in the manner hereinafter set
forth, and to accomplish equality and justice between the owners of said
property, and to secure the pavement of said sums, the City binds itself to
pass all the necessary ordinances and resolutions, and to take all the
necessary steps provided by law, charter, or by the ordinances of said City,
in such cases made and provided, that may be necessary or proper to assess
upon the several parcels of prcperty abutting said street, the several sums
payable by the owners thereof under the terms hereof, and to pass all
ordinances and resolutions necessary and proper to fix same as a personal
claim or liability against the said owners, in compliance with law, charter,
and with the terms of said ordinance; and further agree, that in the event
that any error or invalidity shall appear in tha proceedings with reference
to said improvement, or in the assessment -)f said cost, or in fixing any
personal liability against the owners of said property, or in any other
matter or thing affecting the validity of said assessment or claim, then
the City shall pass all resolutions or ordinances, and shall take all steps
-3-
necessary or allowed by law, charter, or its ordinances for the purpose of
correcting such errors or invalidities and re- assessing said cost against
said property, and fixing said personal claim or liability against the
owners thereof; but it is expressly understood and agreed that no assessment
shall be made against any property or its owners until after the notice
and hearing provided by law and the ordinances of the said City and in no
event shall any assessment be made against any such property or its owner
in excess of the benefits thereof in the enchanted value thereof, caused
by such improvement. It is expressly agreed that said City shall not in
any manner be liable to the said Contractor for any part of the cost of
said improvements herein designated to be paid by owners of abutting
property, but for such portion the Contractor shall look alone to the said
owners and their property, and that the said owners and their property,
and that the said City does not in any manner guarantee the collection
thereof, nor shall it become in any manner liable for the cost of collect-
ing the same, nor in enforcing the lien thereon, but the City agrees to do
all acts, and pass all ordinances and resolutions required and permitted
by law or its charter, for the purpose of assisting said Contractor or
assigns in collecting or enforcing the payment of the said cost against
said owners and of said lien against said property.
The City agrees that it will, upon completion and acceptance of said
improvements, cause to be issued to said Contractor assignable certificate,
setting forth and declaring the amount to be paid by each of said owners
and assessed against his property and the times and terms of said payments,
