62.2 Store all explosives in a secure manner, in compliance with all State and local
laws and ordinances, and legally mark all such storage places. Storage shall be limited to
such quantity as may be needed for the work underway.
62.3. Designate as a “Blasting Area” all sites where electric blasting caps are located
and where explosive charges are being placed. Mark all blasting areas with signs as
required by law. Place signs as required by law from each end of the blasting area and
leave in place while the above conditions prevail. Immediately remove signs after
blasting operations or the storage of caps is over.
62.4 Notify each property Owner and public utility company having structures in
proximity to the site of the work sufficiently in advance to enable the companies to take
such steps as they may deem necessary to protect their property. Such notice shall not
relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibility for damage resulting from his blasting
operation. Warn all persons within the danger zone of blasting operations and do not
perform blasting work until the area is cleared. Provide sufficient flagmen outside the
danger zone to stop all approaching traffic and pedestrians. Provide watchmen during the
loading period and until charges have been exploded. Place adequate protective covering
over all charges before being exploded.
Arbitration by Mutual Agreement.
63.1 All claims, disputes, and other matters in question arising out of, or relating to, the
Contract Documents or the breach thereof, except for claims which have been waived by
making an acceptance of final payment as provided in Section 25, may be decided by
arbitration if the parties mutually agree. Any agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically
enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law. The award rendered by the arbitrators
shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.
63.2 Notice of the request for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to
the Contract Documents and a copy shall be filed with the Engineer. Request for
arbitration shall in no event be made on any claim, dispute, or other matter in question
which would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
63.3. The Contractor will carry on the Work and maintain the progress schedule during
any arbitration proceedings, unless other wise mutually agreed in writing.
Taxes. The Contractor shall pay all sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes required
by the laws of the place where the Work is performed.
Separate Contracts.
65.1 The Owner reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with this Project.
The Contractor shall afford other Contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction
and storage of their materials and the execution of their Work, and shall properly connect
and coordinate the Work with theirs. If the proper execution or results of any part of the
Contractor's Work depends upon the Work of any other Contractor, the Contractor shall
inspect and promptly report to the Engineer any defects in such Work that render it
unsuitable for such proper execution and results.
