award is made, at which time, the unsuccessful Bidder's proposal guaranty will be returned. The
successful bidder's proposal guaranty will be returned as soon as the Owner receives the Contract
Bonds as specified in the subsection titled REQUIREMENTS OF CONTRACT BONDS.
30-05 REQUIREMENTS OF CONTRACT BONDS. At the time of the execution of the

80-04 PR4)SECUTION AND PROGRESS. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall
submit his ]Jrogress schedule for the Engineer's approval within 10 days after the effective date of
the notice to proceed. The Contractor's progress schedule, when approved by the Engineer, may be
used to establish major construction operations and to check on the progress of the work. The
Contractor shall provide sufficient materials, equipment, and labor to guarantee the completion of
the project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications within the time set forth in the proposal.
If the Contractor falls significantly behind the submitted schedule, the Contractor shall, upon the
Engineer's request, submit a revised schedule for completion of the work within the Contract time
and modify his operations to provide such additional materials, equipment, and labor necessary to
meet the re'lised schedule. Should the prosecution of the work be discontinued for any reason, the
Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of resuming operations.
The Contraetor shall not commence any work prior to the date set forth in the notice to proceed.
80-05 LIM[ITATION OF OPERATIONS. The Contractor shall control his operations and the
operations of his subcontractors and all suppliers so as to provide for the free and unobstructed
movement of aircraft in the AIR OPERATIONS AREAS of the airport.
When the ,,'ork requires the Contractor to conduct his operations within an AIR OPERATIONS
AREA ofthle airport, the work shall be coordinated with airport management (through the Engineer)
at least 48 ]lours prior to commencement of such work. The Contractor shall not close an AIR
OPERA TIC~NS AREA until so authorized by the Engineer and until the necessary temporary
marking an(j associated lighting is in place as provided in the subsection titled BARRICADES,
WARNING SIGNS, AND HAZARD MARKINGS of Section 70.
When the Contract work requires the Contractor to work within an AIR OPERATIONS AREA of
the airport on an intermittent basis (intermittent opening and closing of the AIR OPERATIONS
AREA), th~~ Contractor shall maintain constant communications as hereinafter specified;
immediately obey all instructions to vacate the AIR OPERATIONS AREA; immediately obey all
instructions to resume work in such AIR OPERATIONS AREA. Failure to maintain the specified
communications or to obey instructions shall be cause for suspension of the Contractor's operations
in the AIR ()PERATIONS AREA until the satisfactory conditions are provided.
80-06 CHARACTER OF WORKERS, METHODS, AND EQUIPMENT. The Contractor shall,
at all times, employ sufficient labor and equipment for prosecuting the work to full completion in
the manner ,md time required by the Contract, Plans, and Specifications.
All workers shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform properly the Work assigned to
them. Workers engaged in special work or skilled work shall have sufficient experience in such
work and in the operation of the equipment required to perform the work satisfactorily.
All equipme:nt which is proposed to be used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in such
mechanical condition as to met requirements of the Work and to produce a satisfactory quality of
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WEST\SPE-MAN3\SEC-l o. WPD\082196
III - 36
work. Equipment used on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to previously
completed '~ork, adjacent property, or existing airport facilities will result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the work are not
prescribed in the Contract, the Contractor is free to use any methods or equipment that will
accomplish the work in conformity with the requirements of the Contract, Plans, and Specifications.
When the Contract specifies the use of certain methods and equipment, such methods and equipment
shall be usecl unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the Contractor desires to use a method
or type of (~quipment other than specified in the Contract, he may request authority from the
Engineer to do so. The request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the methods
and equipmc~nt proposed and of the reasons for desiring to make the change. If approval is given,
it will be on the condition that the Contractor will be fully responsible for producing work in
conformity with Contract requirements. If, after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment,
the Engineer determines that the work produced does not meet Contract requirements, the Contractor
shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or equipment and shall complete the remaining
work with the specified methods and equipment. The Contractor shall remove any deficient work
and replace it with work of specified quality, or take such other corrective action as the Engineer
may direct. No change will be made in basis of payment for the Contract items involved nor in
Contract time as a result of authorizing a change in methods or equipment under this subsection.
80-07 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE WORK. The Owner 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 wl~ather, or such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the prosecution of the
work, or for such time as is necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out
orders given or perform any or all provisions of the Contract.
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period, the Contractor shall store all
materials in such manner that they will not become an obstruction nor become damaged in any way.
He shall take every precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work performed and provide
for normal drainage of the work. The Contractor shall erect temporary structures where necessary
to provide for traffic on, to, or from the airport.
80-08 DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME. The number of
calendar days allowed for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal and Contract and
shall be knovm as the Contract Time.
Should the Contract Time require extension for reasons beyond the Contractor's control, it shall be
adjusted as follows:
(a) CONTRACT TIME based on WORKING DAYS shall be calculated weekly by the
Engineer. The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a copy of his weekly statement of the number
of working days charged against the Contract Time during the week and the number of working days
currently spec:ified for completion of the Contract (the original Contract Time plus the number of
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WEST\SPE-MAN3\SEC-I o. WPD\082196
III - 37
working d.ays, if any, that have been included in approved CHANGE ORDERS or
SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS covering EXTRA WORK).
The Engin~er shall base his weekly statement of Contract Time charged on the following
considerations:
(1) No time shall be charged for days on which the Contractor is unable to proceed with the
principal item of work under construction at the time for at least 6 hours with the normal work force
employed o:n such principal item. Should the normal work force be on a double-shift, 12 hours shall
be used. Should the normal work force be on a triple-shift, 18 hours shall apply. Conditions beyond
the Contractor's control such as strikes, lockouts, unusual delays in transportation, temporary
suspension of the principal item of work under construction or temporary suspension of the entire
work which have been ordered by the Engineer for reasons not the fault of the Contractor shall not
be charged against the Contract Time.
(2) The Engineer will not make charges against the Contract Time prior to the effective
date of the rLotice to proceed.
(3) The Engineer will begin charges against the Contract Time on the first working day
after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.
(4) The Engineer will not make charges against the Contract Time after the date of final
acceptance as defined in the subsection title FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50.
(5) The Contractor will be allowed 1 week in which to file a written protest setting forth
his objections to the Engineer's weekly statement. If no objection is filed within such specified time,
the weekly statement shall be considered as acceptable to the Contractor.
Contract Time (stated in the proposal) is based on the originally estimated quantities as described
in the subsection titled INTERPRETATION OF PROPOSAL QUANTITIES of Section 20. Should
the satisfactory completion of the Contract require performance of work in greater quantities than
those estimated in the proposal, the Contract Time shall be increased in the same proportion as the
cost of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in
the proposal. Such increase in Contract Time shall not consider either the cost of work or the
extension of Contract Time that has been covered by change order or supplemental agreement and
shall be mad'e at time of final payment.
(b) Contract Time based on Calendar Days shall consist of the number of calendar days stated
in the Contral~t counting from the effective date of the notice to proceed and including all Saturdays,
Sundays, hohdays, and non-work days. All Calendar Days elapsing between the effective dates of
the Owner's orders to suspend and resume all work, due to causes not the fault of the Contractor,
shall be exclllded.
At the time of final payment, the Contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost
of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY -WEST\SPE-MAN3\SEC-l O. WPD\082196
III - 38
proposal. Such increase in the Contract time shall not consider either cost of work or the extension
of Contract Time that has been covered by a change order or supplemental agreement. Charges
against the Contract Time will cease as of the date of final acceptance.
(c) "'hen the Contract Time is a specified completion date, it shall be the date on which all
Contract Work shall be substantially completed.
If the Contractor finds it impossible for reasons beyond his control to complete the work within the
Contract Tilne as specified, or as extended in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, he
may, at any time prior to the expiration of the Contract time as extended, make a written request to
the Engine<;:r for an extension of time setting forth the reasons which he believes will justify the
granting of his request. The Contractor's plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid
reason for e:Ktension of time. If the Engineer fmds that the work was delayed because of conditions
beyond the l~ontrol and without the fault of the Contractor, he may extend the time for completion
in such amount as the conditions justify. The extended time for completion shall then be in full force
and effect, the same as though it were the original time for completion.
80-09 FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME. For each calendar day, as specified in the
Contract, that any Work remains uncompleted after the Contract time (including all extensions and
adjustments as provided in the subsection titled DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF
CONTRACT TIME of this section) the sum specified in the Contract and proposal as liquidated
damages will be deducted from any money due or to become due the Contractor or his surety. Such
deducted Slims shall not be deducted as a penalty but shall be considered as liquidation of a
reasonable ]~ortion of damages that will be incurred by the Owner should the Contractor fail to
complete th~~ work in the time provided in his Contract.
Permitting tIle Contractor to continue and finish the work or any part of it after the time fixed for its
completion, or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, will in no
way operate as a wavier on the part of the Owner of any of its rights under the Contract.
80-10 DEF1\ULT AND TERMINATION OF CONTRACT. The Contractor shall be considered
in default of his Contract and such default will be considered as cause for the Owner to terminate
the Contract for any of the following reasons if the Contractor:
(a) Fails to begin the work under the Contract within the time specified in the "Notice to
Proceed," or
(b) Fails to perform the work or fails to provide sufficient workers, equipment or materials to
assure completion of work in accordance with the terms of the Contract, or
( c) Performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials or to perform
anew such w'ork as may be rejected as unacceptable and unsuitable, or
(d) Discontinues the prosecution of the work, or
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WES1\SPE-MAN3\SEC-l O. WPD\082196
III - 39
( e) Fails to resume work which has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice
to do so, or
(f) Becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bankruptcy or
insolvency, or
(g) Allows any final judgment to stand against him unsatisfied for a period of 10 days, or
(h) M[akes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
(i) For any other cause whatsoever, fails to carry on the work in an acceptable manner.
Should the l~ngineer consider the Contractor in default of the Contract for any reason hereinbefore,
he shall immediately give written notice to the Contractor and the Contractor's surety as to the
reasons for considering the Contractor.in default and the Owner's intentions to terminate the
Contract.
If the Contractor or surety, within a period of 10 days after such notice, does not proceed in
accordanc"e therewith, then the Owner will, upon written notification from the Engineer of the facts
of such dela:y, neglect, or default and the Contractor's failure to comply with such notice, have full
power and a.uthority without violating the Contract, to take the prosecution of the work out of the
hands of the Contractor. The Owner may appropriate or use any or all materials and equipment that
have been mobilized for use in the work and are acceptable and may enter into an agreement for the
completion of said Contract according to the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods
as in the oJ)inion of the Engineer will be required for the completion of said Contract in an
acceptable nlanner.
All costs and charges incurred by the Owner, together with the cost of completing the work under
contract, will be deducted from any monies due or which may become due the Contractor. If such
expense excl~eds the sum which would have been payable under the Contract, then the Contractor
and the surety shall be liable and shall pay to the Owner the amount of such excess.
80-11 TERMINATION FOR NATIONAL EMERGENCIES. The Owner shall terminate the
Contract or portion thereofby written notice when the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with
the construction Contract as a direct result of an Executive Order of the President with respect to the
prosecution of war or in the interest of National Defense.
When the Contract, or any portion thereof, is terminated before completion of all items of work in
the Contract, payment will be made for the actual number of units or items of work completed at the
Contract price or as mutually agreed for items of work partially completed or not started. No claims
or loss of anticipated profits shall be considered.
Reimbursement for organization of the work, and other overhead expenses, excluding home office
overhead (wtLen not otherwise included in the Contract) and moving equipment and materials to and
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY-WEST\SPE-MAN3\SEC-IO.WPD\082196
111-40
from the job will be considered, the intent being that an equitable settlement will be made with the
Contractor.
Acceptable materials, obtained or ordered by the Contractor for the work and that are not
incorporated in the work shall, at the option of the Contractor, be purchased from the Contractor at
actual cost as shown by receipted bills and actual cost records at such points of delivery as may be
designated lJY the Engineer.
Termination of the Contract or a portion thereof shall neither relieve the Contractor of his
responsibilities for the completed work nor shall it relieve his surety of its obligation for and
concerning any just claim arising out of the work performed.
SECTION 90 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
90-01 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES. All work completed under the Contract will be
measured by the Engineer, or his authorized representatives, using units of measurement specified
in the Contract Documents.
The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material
furnished and of work performed under the Contract will be those methods generally recognized as
conforming to good Engineering practice.
Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be made
horizontally, and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or leave-outs) having an area
of9 square fc~et (1 sq. meter) or less. Unless otherwise specified, transverse measurements for area
computations will be the neat dimensions shown on the Plans or ordered in writing by the Engineer.
Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the Plans or as altered to fit field
conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, all Contract items which are measured by the linear foot (meter) such
as electrical ducts, conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar items shall be measured parallel
to the base or foundation upon which such items are placed.
In computing volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable methods will
be used.
The thickness: of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated metal pipe, metal
plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified and measured in decimal fraction
of inches.
The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of2,000 pounds (907 kilograms) avoirdupois. All
materials which are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on accurate, approved
scales by competent, qualified personnel at locations designed by the Engineer. If material is
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WE~;l\SPE-MAN3\SEC-l o. WPD\082196
III -41
shipped by rail, the car weight may be accepted provided that only the actual weight of material be
paid for. However, car weights will not be acceptable for material to be passed through mixing
plants. Trucks used to haul material being paid for by weight shall be weighed empty daily at such
times as the Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.
Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved vehicles and
measured t]lerein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may be of any size or type
acceptable to the Engineer, provided that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be
readily and accurately determined. All.vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity,
and all loads shall be leveled when the vehicles arrive at the point of delivery. When requested by
the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be measured by the
cubic yard (meter) may be weighed, and such weights will be converted to cubic yards (meters) for
payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight measurement to volume measurement will
be determirLed by the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before such method of
measuremellt of pay quantities is used.
Bituminous materials will be measured by the gallon, ton or liter. When measured by volume, such
volumes will be measured at 600 F (150 C) or will be corrected to the volume at 600 F (150 C) using
ASTM D 1250 for asphalts or ASTM D 633 for tars.
Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments will
be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has be~n lost
from the car or the distributor, wasted, or otherwise not incorporated in the work.
When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights by volume,
subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities.
Cement will be measured by the ton (kilogram) or hundredweight (kilogram).
Timber will be measured by the thousand feet board measure (M.F.B.M.) actually incorporated in
the structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses and the extreme length
of each piece.
The term "lump sum" when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment for the work
described in the Contract.
When a complete structure or structural unit (in effect, "lump sum" work) is specified as the unit of
measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and accessories.
Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and necessary
traveling time of the equipment within the limits of the work. Special equipment ordered by the
Engineer in connection with force account work will be measured as agreed in the change order or
supplemental agreement authorizing such force account work as provided in the subsection titled
PAYMENT ~FOR EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT work of this section.
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY -WESn5PE-MAN3\SEC-l O. WPD\082196
III -42
When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe
conduit, etc., and these items are identified by gage, unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such
identification will be considered to be nominal weights or dimensions. Unless more stringently
controlled by tolerances in cited Specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the
industries i]t1volved will be accepted.
Scales for weighing materials which are required to be proportioned or measured and paid for by
weight shaH be furnished, erected, and maintained by the Contractor, or be certified permanently
installed commercial scales.
Scales shall be accurate within one-half percent of the correct weight throughout the range of use.
The Contra(:tor shall have the scales checked under the observation of the inspector before beginning
work and at such other times as requested. The intervals shall be uniform in spacing throughout the
graduated or marked length of the beam or dial and shall not exceed one-tenth of 1 percent of the
nominal rated capacity of the scale, but not less than I pound (454 grams). The use of spring
balances will not be permitted.
Beams, dials, platforms, and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the operator and the
inspector can safely and conveniently view them.
Scale installations shall have available ten standard 50-pound (23 kilogram) weights for testing the
weighing eqluipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved equipment.
Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site. Platform scales shall be
installed ancl maintained with the platform level and rigid bulkheads at each end.
Scales "ovelweighing" (indicating more than correct weight) will not be permitted to operate, and
all materials received subsequent to the last previous correct weighing-accuracy test will be reduced
by the percentage of error in excess of one-half of one percent.
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been "underweighing" (indicating less than correct
weight), they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the Contractor will be allowed for
materials previously weighed and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining scales; for
furnishing check weights and scale house; and for all other items specified in this subsection, for the
weighing of materials for proportioning or payment, shall be included in the unit Contract prices for
the various items of the project.
When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the pay quantities
in the Contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the
work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the Plans are
revised by th,e Engineer. If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of
such work, the final quantities for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the
authorized cllanges in the dimensions.
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WEST\SPE-MAN3\SEC-l O. WPD\082 196
III -43
90-02 SC()PE OF PAYMENT. The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation provided
for in the C~ontract as full payment for furnishing all materials, for performing all work under the
Contract in a complete and acceptable manner, and for all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever
character arising out of the nature of the work or the prosecution thereof, subject to the provisions
of the subs(~ction titled NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70.
When the "lJasis of payment" subsection of a technical specification requires that the Contract price
(price bid) include compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, this same work
or material 'will not also be measured for payment under any other Contract item which may appear
elsewhere in the Contract, Plans, or Specifications.
90-03 COl\1PENSA TION FOR ALTERED QUANTITIES. When the accepted quantities of
work vary from the quantities in the proposal, the Contractor shall accept as payment in full, so far
as contract items are concerned, payment at the original contract price for the accepted quantities of
work actually completed and accepted. No allowance, except as provided for in the subsection titled
ALTERATION OF WORK AND QUANTITIES of Section 40, will be made for any increased
expense, loss of expected reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the
Contractor ,~hich results directly from such alterations or indirectly from his unbalanced allocation
of overhead and profit among the contract, items, or from any other cause.
90-04 P A ':MENT FOR OMITTED ITEMS. As specified in the subsection titled OMITTED
ITEMS of Section 40, the Engineer shall have the right to omit from the work (order
nonperformance) any Contract item, except major Contract items, in the best interest of the Owner.
Should the I~ngineer omit or order nonperformance of a Contract item or portion of such item from
the work, the Contractor shall accept payment in full at the Contract prices for any work actually
completed and acceptable prior to the Engineer's order to omit or non-perform such Contract item.
Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered on the work prior to the date of the
Engineer's order will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor and shall thereupon become the
property of the Owner.
In addition to the reimbursement hereinbefore provided, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for all
actual costs incurred for the purpose of performing the omitted Contract item prior to the date of the
Engineer's order. Such additional costs incurred by the Contractor must be directly related to the
deleted Contract item and shall be supported by certified statements by the Contractor as to the
nature the arnount of such costs.
90-05 P A YJMENT FOR EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK. Extra Work, performed
in accordance with the subsection titled EXTRA WORK of Section 40, will be paid for at the
Contract pric:es or agreed prices specified in the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing
the Extra Work. When the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing the Extra Work
requires that it be done by force account, such force account shall be measured and paid for based
on expende(llabor, equipment, and materials plus a negotiated arid agreed upon allowance for
overhead an(i profit, excluding home office overhead.
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WEST\SPE-MAN3\SEC-l O. WPD\082 196
III -44
a. Miscellaneous. No additional allowance will be made for general superintendence, the use
of small tools, or other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided.
b. Comparison of Record. The Contractor and the Engineer shall compare records of the cost
of force account work at the end of each day. Agreement shall be indicated by signature of the
Contractor and the Engineer or their duly authorized representatives.
c. Statements. No payment will be made for work performed on a force account basis until
the Contra(~tor has furnished the Engineer with duplicate itemized statements of the cost of such
force account work detailed as follows:
(1) Name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours, rate and extension for each laborer
and foremaJtl.
(2)1 Designation, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate, and extension for each unit of
machinery ,md equipment.
(3)1 Quantities 'of materials, prices, and extensions.
(4) Transportation of materials.
(5) Cost of property damage, liability and workman's compensation insurance premiums,
unemploym.ent insurance contributions, and social security tax.
Statements shall be accompanied and supported by a receipted invoice for all materials used and
transportation charges. However, if materials used on the force account work are not specifically
purchased :bDr such work but are taken from the Contractor's stock, then in lieu of the invoices the
Contractor shall furnish an affidavit certifying that such materials were taken from his stock, that the
quantity claimed was actually used, and that the price and transportation claimed represent the actual
cost to the C:ontractor.
90-06 PA~~TIAL PAYMENTS. Partial payments will be made at least once each month as the
work progresses. Said payments will be based upon estimates prepared by the Engineer of the value
of the work :performed and materials complete in place in accordance with the Contract, Plans, and
Specificatio]tls. Such partial payments may also include the delivered actual cost of those materials
stockpiled aJtld stored in accordance with the subsection titled PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ON
HAND of tllis section.
No partial ]Jayment will be' made when the amount due the Contractor since the last estimate
amounts to lless than five hundred dollars.
From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a partial payment, 10 percent of such total
amount will be deducted and retained by the Owner until the final payment is made, except as may
be provided. (at the Contractor's option) in the subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD
FUNDS oftJl1is section. The balance (90 percent) of the amount payable, less all previous payments,
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WEST\SPE-MAN3\SEC-l O. WPD\082 196
III -45
shall be certified for payment. Should the Contractor exercise his option, as provided in the
subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section, no such 10 percent retainage
shall be declucted.
When not }(~ss than 95 percent of the work has been completed the Engineer may, at his discretion
and with thl~ consent of the surety, prepare an estimate from which will be retained an amount not
less than twice the Contract value or estimated cost, whichever is greater, of the work remaining to
be done. ~rhe remainder, less all previous payments and deductions, will then be certified for
payment to the Contractor.
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive partial
payment based on quantities of work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by
approved ct.Lange orders or supplemental agreements, except when such excess quantities have been
determined by the Engineer to be a part of the final quantity for the item of work in question.
No partiall=~ayment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or work in place as to
quality or q.uantity. All partial payments are subject to correction at the time of final payment as
provided in the subsection titled ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT of this section.
90-07 PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ON HAND. Partial payments may be made to the extent
of the deliv(;~red cost of materials to be incorporated in the work, provided that such materials meet
the requirerrlents of the Contract, Plans, and Specifications and are delivered to acceptable sites on
the airport property or at other sites in the vicinity that are acceptable to the Owner. Such delivered
costs of stored or stockpiled materials may be included in the next partial payment after the
following conditions are met:
(a) Thle material has been stored or stockpiled in a manner acceptable to the Engineer at or on
an approved. site.
(b) TIle Contractor has furnished the Engineer with acceptable evidence of the quantity and
quality of SllCh stored or stockpiled materials.

a) Mark-up Procedure: During progress of the work, maintain a white-print
set (blue-line or black-line) of contract drawings and shop drawings, with
mark-up of actual installations which vary substantially from the work as
originally shown. Mark whatever drawing is most capable of showing
actual physical condition, fully and accurately. Where shop drawings are
marked up, mark cross-reference on contract drawings at corresponding
location. Mark with erasable colored pencil, using separate colors where
feasible to distinguish between changes for different categories of work
at the same general location. Mark-up important additional information
which was either shown schematically or omitted from original drawings.
Give particular attention to informa-tion on work concealed, which would
be difficult to identify or measure and record at a later date. Note alternate
numbers, change order numbers and similar identification. Require each
person preparing the mark-up to initial and date the mark-up and indicate
WP _ WPRO\M:\KEY - WES1\SPE-MAN4\PROV -RPT. WPD\082196

original drawings. Indicate exact locations by dimensions and exact
elevations by job datum. Give dimensions from a permanent point.
b) Preparation of Transparencies: In preparation for certification of
substantial completion on the last major portion of the work, review the
completed mark-up of record drawings and shop drawings with the
Engineer. The Engineer will then proceed with preparation of a full set of
corrected transparencies for contract drawings. The Engineer will date
each updated drawing and label each sheet "PROJECT RECORD" in I-
1/2 inch high letters. Printing as required herein is the responsibility of
the Engineer.
c) Copies, Distribution: Upon completion of transparency record drawings,
the Engineer shall prepare three blue-line or black-line prints of each
drawing, regardless of whether changes and additional information were
recorded thereon. The Engineer shall then organize each of three copies
into manageable sets, bind with durable paper cover sheets, and print suit-
able titles and dates. The mark-up set of prints maintained during the
construction period shall be bound in the same manner. The Engineer will
retain one copy set. At the completion of the project, the Engineer shall
submit one set of mylars and one set of prints, with changes noted thereon,
to the Owner.
3) Record Drawings shall contain the names, addresses and phone numbers of the
General Contractor and the major sub-contractors.

by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer. No mechanized equipment or machinery, except
for hand held machinery (i.e. chainsaws, polesaws, loppers, shears) will be permitted to be used for
trimming. The Contractor may clear 3 to 5 foot wide paths within the areas designated for
trimming to facilitate access and removal of branches. All paths must be approved by the Engineer
prior to clearing. All materials removed by trimming shall be hauled offsite and disposed of in
accordance vvith all applicable regulations.

which inadvertently fall onto the substrate, may remain in place as long as they are not purposely
removed from larger branches, placed in piles or cause water quality degradation. The Contractor
shall not cut branches to heights less than the allowable elevation shown on the plans. A tolerance
of six (6) in1ches maximum of undercut is allowed.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
