Stated Allowances. The Contractor shall include in his proposal for costs of materials not
shown in his bid under “cash allowances” or “allowed materials,” any cash allowances
stated in the supplemental general conditions or other contract documents. The
Contractor shall purchase the “allowed materials” as directed by the Owner on the basis
of the lowest and best bid of at least 3 competitive bids. If the actual price for purchasing
the “allowed materials” is more or less than the “cash allowance,” the contract price shall
be adjusted accordingly. The adjustment in contract price shall be made on the basis of
the purchase price without additional charges for overhead, profit, insurance or any other
incidental expenses. The cost of installation of the “allowed materials” shall be included
in the applicable sections of the contract specifications covering this work.
Use _of Premises, Removal of Debris, Sanitary Conditions. In the use of premises or
removal of debris, the Contractor expressly undertakes at his own expense: to take every
precaution against injuries to persons or damage to property; to maintain sanitary
conditions; to store his apparatus, materials, supplies and equipment in such orderly
fashion at the site of the work as will not interfere with the progress of his work or the
work of any other Contractors; to place upon the work or any part thereof only such loads
as are consistent with the safety of that portion of the work; to clean up frequently all
refuse, rubbish, scrap materials and debris caused by his operations, to the end that at all
times the site of the work shall present an orderly and workmanlike appearance; before
final payment to remove all surplus material falsework, temporary structures, including
foundations thereof, plant of any description and debris of every nature resulting from his
operations, and to put the site in an orderly condition; to effect all cutting, fitting or
patching of his work required to make the same conform to the plans and specifications
and, except with the consent of the Engineer, not to cut or otherwise alter the work of any
other Contractor; to provide and maintain in a sanitary condition such toilet
accommodations for the use of his employees as may be necessary to comply with the
requirements of the state and local boards of health, or of other bodies or authorities
having jurisdiction.
Quantities of Estimate. Wherever the estimated quantities of work to be done and
materials to be furnished under this contract are shown in any of the documents including
the proposal, they are given for use in comparing bids and the right is specifically
reserved except as herein otherwise specifically limited, to increase or decrease them as
may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Owner to complete the work contemplated
by this contract, and such increase or decrease shall in no way invalidate this contract,
nor shall any such increase or decrease give cause for claims or liability for damages.
Such increases or decreases shall not exceed 25 percent of the estimated quantities of
work. An increase or decrease in quantities for subsurface materials (e.g. ledge,
unsuitable backfill), which overrun or underrun by 25% or more of the bid quantity may
be the basis for a contract price adjustment, at the rate of a negotiated adjusted unit rate.
Negotiated unit price rates shall be equitable and shall take into account, but not be
limited to the following factors; bid unit rate, distribution of rates and bid balance, and
the scope of work as affected by the changed quantities. Claims for extra work resulting
from changed quantities shall be processed under article 21.
Lands and Rights-of-Way. Acquisition and usage of lands and rights-of-way shall be as
follows:
