and
f. when both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the adjustment in
Contractor's fee shall be computed on the basis of the net change in accordance with

Page 52 of 62
Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as
of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is
required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and
equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at
another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied
by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting that Owner has received the
materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and

Agreement.
B. Review of Applications:
1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in

Application to Contractor indicating in writing Engineer's reasons for refusing to recommend
payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application.
2. Engineer's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will
constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer's observations of the
executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional, and on Engineer's
review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the
best of Engineer's knowledge, information and belief:
a. the Work has progressed to the point indicated;
b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject
to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial
Completion, the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a
final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under Paragraph
9.07,and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation);and
c. the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to such payment appear to have
been fillfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe the Work.
3. By recommending any such payment Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been
performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or

i
involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically
assigned to Engineer in the Contract Documents;or
b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor
to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle Owner to withhold payment to Contractor.
4. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's Work for the purposes of recommending payments
nor Engineer's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose
responsibility on Engineer:
a. to supervise,direct,or control the Work,or
b. for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the
safety precautions and programs incident thereto,or
c. for Contractor's failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's
performance of the Work,or
d. to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the
moneys paid on account of the Contract Price,or
e. to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to Owner
free and clear of any Liens.
5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer's
opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner stated in

A. As applicable to the work being performed, the following material and control
tests may be made by the Engineer to determine the compliance with the
specifications:
1. Tests for storm drain, which shall include TV inspection, cleaning,
exfiltration by air or water, and manhole testing. Final TV inspection
for City final acceptance shall occur after all improvements are
completed,including street paving.
2. Tests in accordance with methods prescribed by AASHTO for
theoretical maximum density, optimum moisture content, and sieve
analysis for the sub-base course, crushed base course, pit run, and
native backfill and sub-grade material within the right-of-way.
3. In place density test of subgrade, subbase, base and asphalt paving or
concrete paving courses. In-place density tests for trenches and
embankments shall, as a minimum,be required for each lift of backfill
at 200 foot intervals. In-place density tests for roadways shall be
required for each lift of backfill at 200 foot intervals.Tests for roadways
shall also be provided for sub-grade, sub-base course and/or pit run,
and crushed base course materials. All sub-grade,which is to be paved
or covered with curb,gutter, or sidewalk, shall be field density tested.
All trench backfill material in improved areas and all embankments
shall be compacted for the full depth and shall be compacted to 95%
of the theoretical maximum proctor density as determined by ASTM-
T-180.
4. Gradation, liquid limit and plasticity index tests of subbase, base and
surfacing aggregates. Tests of subbase and base course materials shall
be made from material in place. Tests of plant mix aggregates shall be
made from samples obtained from the hot bins of the hot plant which
conforms to the procedures of the Asphalt Institute's MS-2 manual.
Tests of concrete aggregates shall be made from samples at the mixer
site.
5. Core sampling for bituminous pavement in the public right-of-way.
Four core samples shall be required for every 1000 tons of mixture
placed,with a minimum of three samples for projects that use less than
1000 tons. Testing laboratories shall meet the requirements of ASTM
D3666. Core holes shall be patched with hot plant mix asphalt.
6. Marshall Field Stability tests and graded extractions of the hot plant
mix asphalt concrete paving courses. One "field Marshall Test" per
2000 tons of mixture placed shall be conducted in order to check for
variations from the job-mix formula. In addition, ASTM D 1075 for
P:16020.04 Oat_7th_SP SPECIAL PROVISIONS (10/22/17)dxs
Page 12 of 16
the effect of water on cohesion of compacted bituminous material shall
be conducted.
7. Portland cement concrete tests shall be required for every 50 cubic
yards with a minimum of one set of tests per project. The concrete
shall be sampled, specimens made, and compliance determined in
accordance with the following:
Sampling Fresh Concrete—ASTM C-172
Slump—ASTM C-143 or AASHTO T119
Air Content—ASTM C-231,C-173,C-138, or AASHTO T152
Compressive Strength—ASTM-C39 or AASHTO T22

ASTM C-31 or AASHTO T23
8. Stripping tests, volume swell tests, fracture tests, wear tests, and
soundness tests shall be made prior to or during the Contractor's
crushing operations.
9. Concrete cylinder and beam test.
10. Periodic tests of the Contractor's production operations of aggregate
will be made for the purpose of verifying the Contractor's control and
testing of Contractor's aggregate production. Such testing does not
relieve the Contractor of their responsibility to produce material that
will meet specification requirements, and Contractor will be required
to make such additional tests at Contractor's expense as required to
produce aggregate meeting specification requirements.
The periodic tests made by the Engineer, of the Contractor's production may
serve as the basis for rejecting stockpiles as unacceptable. The above tests —
paragraphs 2 through 10—shall be made with no cost to the Contractor,except
as provided herein for test failure. Should any of these tests fail,the Contractor
shall then be responsible for the cost of the failing test. The costs of the failing
tests shall be deducted from the Contractor's application for payment.
B. Prior to the start of any installation of pipe, acceptability of all concrete storm
drain shall be determined by the results of the three-edge bearing test to
produce a 0.01 inch crack, as described in ASTM C497. The load required to
produce a 0.01 inch crack shall not be less than that described in ASTM C76
for round pipe and ASTM C506 for arch pipe. The pipe sections to be tested
throughout the remainder of the project shall be selected at random by the
Owner or Owner's authorized representative.
All three-edge bearing test shall be completed by the manufacturer at no added
cost to the Owner.

1. Any additional tests the Contractor requires to control Contractor's
crushing, screening or other construction operations.
2. Asphalt cement pavement and Portland cement concrete mix designs.
3. Test failure, as provided above.
4. Any additional tests required to verify acceptable quality of supplied
materials. This shall include,but not be limited to,a three-edge bearing
test.
D. Acceptance and rejection of materials will generally be determined from tests
made of the various courses complete and in-place in the field. While the
Engineer may,during course of construction,make tests at the source or point
of production;it is the responsibility of the Contractor to conduct, control and
test Contractor's production operations in such a manner that the materials
produced will meet the specification requirements.

CHANGE ORDER
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract Price
or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into a
subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times.
Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The practice
of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes.
If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement,any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times,a
Field Order should be used.
B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM
Engineer normally initiates the form,including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon
documents and proposals submitted by Contractor,or requests from Owner, or both.
Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner or Contractor for approval,
depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated
agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party,all copies should be sent to
the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both parties.
If a change only applies to price or to times,cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply.
