This Agreement between Owner and Contractor for Construction Contract (Stipulated Price)  (“Agreement”) has been prepared for use with the Suggested Instructions to Bidders for Construction  Contracts (“Instructions to Bidders”) (EJCDC® C‐200, 2013 Edition); the Suggested Bid Form for  Construction Contracts (“Bid Form”) (EJCDC® C 410, 2013 Edition); and the Standard General Conditions  of the Construction Contract (“General Conditions”) (EJCDC® C‐700, 2013 Edition). Their provisions are  interrelated, and a change in one may necessitate a change in the others. See also the Guide to the  Preparation of Supplementary Conditions (EJCDC® C‐800, 2013 Edition), and the Commentary on the  2013 EJCDC Construction Documents (EJCDC® C‐001, 2013 Edition).  In construction contracting, as a general matter the “agreement” is the legal instrument executed  (signed) by the project owner and the construction contractor, binding the parties to the terms of the  contract. See CSI Project Delivery Practice Guide (2011), Section 11.1.2, p. 210, and CSI Construction  Specification Practice Guide (2011), Section 5.1, p. 75. This EJCDC Agreement form serves that basic  function, by identifying the parties and Contract Documents, and establishing the Contract Price and  Contract Times. This Agreement form is specifically intended for stipulated price (fixed price)  contracts—that is, contracts in which Owner and Contractor identify specific lump sums and unit prices  as Contractor’s compensation for performing the Work. For construction contracts in which the Contract  Price is primarily based on costs incurred during construction, users should select EJCDC® C‐525,  Agreement between Owner and Contractor for Construction Contract (Cost‐Plus).  This Agreement form is drafted to be flexible enough to be used on projects that are competitively bid,  and for public and private contracts that are negotiated or awarded through a proposal process or  otherwise. On competitively bid projects, the following documentary information would typically be  made available to bidders:  • Bidding Requirements, which include the Advertisement or invitation to bid, the Instructions to  Bidders, and the Bid Form that is suggested or prescribed, all of which provide information and  guidance for all Bidders, and Bid Form supplements (if any) such as Bid Bond and Qualifications  Statement.  • Contract Documents, which include the Agreement, performance and payment bonds, the General  Conditions, the Supplementary Conditions, the Drawings, and the Specifications.  • Documents referred to in the Supplementary Conditions or elsewhere as being of interest to  bidders for reference purposes, but which are not Contract Documents.  Together, the Bidding Requirements and the Contract Documents are referred to as the Bidding  Documents. (The terms “Bidding Documents,” “Bidding Requirements,” and "Contract Documents" are  defined in Article 1 of the General Conditions.)  The Bidding Requirements are not Contract Documents  because much of their substance pertains to the relationships prior to the award of the Contract and has  little effect or impact thereafter. Many contracts are awarded without even going through a bidding  process, and thus have no Bidding Requirements, illustrating that the bidding items are typically  superfluous to the formation of a binding and comprehensive construction contract. In some cases,  however, a bid or proposal will contain numerous line items and their prices; in such case the actual bid  or proposal document may be attached as an exhibit to the Agreement to avoid extensive rekeying.    EJCDC® C‐520, Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for Construction Contract (Stipulated Price).

Suggested provisions are accompanied by “Notes to User” and bracketed notes and prompts to assist in  preparing the Agreement. The provisions have been coordinated with the other forms produced by  EJCDC. Much of the language should be usable on most projects, but modifications and additional  provisions will often be necessary. When modifying the suggested language or writing additional  provisions, the user must check the other documents thoroughly for conflicts and coordination of terms,  and make appropriate revisions in all affected documents.  All parties involved in construction projects benefit significantly from a standardized approach in the  location of subject matter throughout the documents. Experience confirms the danger of addressing the  same subject matter in more than one location; doing so frequently leads to confusion and  unanticipated legal consequences. When preparing documents for a construction project, careful  attention should be given to the guidance provided in EJCDC® N‐122/AIA® A521, Uniform Location of  Subject Matter (2012 Edition), available at no charge from the EJCDC website, www.ejcdc.org, and from  the websites of EJCDC’s sponsoring organizations.  CSI MasterFormat™ (50‐Division format) designates Document “00 52 XX” for various forms of the  owner‐contractor agreement.  If this format is used, the first page of the Agreement would be  numbered 00 52 13‐1 (or other appropriate third pair of numbers, in accordance with MasterFormat™).  Instructions and restrictions regarding the use of this document are set out in the License Agreement  that accompanied the document at the time of purchase. To prepare the Agreement for inclusion in a  Project Manual or for use in a specific contractual engagement, (1) remove the cover pages and this  Introduction, (2) fill in Project‐specific information and make revisions to the Agreement, following the  guidance in the Notes to Users and bracketed notes and prompts, and the advice of legal counsel, and  (3) delete the Notes to Users and bracketed notes and prompts.    The Trust for Public Land -

END OF SECTION 32 9219   The Trust for Public Land - Story Mill Ecological Restoration Project CUTTINGS RESPEC, Inc. 32 9228 / 1   SECTION 32 9228 - CUTTNGS PART 1 GENERAL 1.1 RELATED WORK A. Section 32 9119.13: Topsoil Placement and Grading B. Section 32 9219: Seeding C. Section 35 4200: Waterway Bank Protection 1.2 DESCRIPTION A. Work consists of furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials for collection of cuttings, preparing planting materials, and planting cuttings (typically willow species) as shown on the Drawings. B. Willow cuttings are an unrooted dormant woody stem inserted directly into the ground to root. The use of cuttings provides several advantages. The larger diameter and length of the cutting provide a competitive advantage over herbaceous and weed species, and often cuttings provide the only means to reach moisture at deeper depths, such as on steep streambanks or on the upper portions of banks. The cuttings of many willow species are successful if harvested and planted properly (as outlined below) due to a high concentration of root primordial located through the length of the stems. 1.3 RELATED DOCUMENTS A. Drawings and General provisions of Contract, including Division 1 Specification sections, apply to work of this section. PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 WILLOW CUTTINGS A. For the highest success rates, cuttings should be collected and planted in the early spring before they break dormancy. The timing of collection and planting should be coordinated with the Designer. B. Cuttings to be utilized for live planting should be harvested from stands in the Bozeman area that are healthy stands free of damage from insects or disease. C. Cuttings will be collected during the dormant season to ensure the highest success rate. No more than 2/3 of the total branches on any willow shrub (i.e., clump) may be harvested for use as live stakes unless authorized by the property owner. Hand pruners or rotary saws may be utilized for willow cutting harvests. Willow cuttings are   The Trust for Public Land - Story Mill Ecological Restoration Project CUTTINGS RESPEC, Inc. 32 9228 / 2   cut with sharp tools that leave a clean (not ragged) cut. D. The cuttings will be ½ to 1 inch in diameter, depending upon the species. Willow cuttings over 7 years of age should not be used as they have less adventitious rooting material in their stems. E. Cutting length will be determined by the planting location and depth to the mid- summer water table. At least 6 to 8 inches of the cuttings are in the mid-summer water table, and no more than one-third of the total length of the cuttings are above ground. F. Cuttings will require removal of all branches, twigs and the terminal buds. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 PRODUCT HANDLING A. General: Carefully pack dormant live cuttings (with all growing ends aligned in one direction) to prevent desiccation, breaking, or damage to bark and branches. Provide adequate ventilation. Protect from sun, drying wind, freezing, and rodents. Do not drop cuttings from vehicles. Legibly label cuttings with correct botanical name, common name, and date collected. All cuttings should be placed in water that allows for the entire cutting to be in contact with the water surface. B. Transport: Transport cuttings in covered, unheated vehicles, moistened and covered with moisture-retaining medium. C. Storage: 1. If cuttings cannot be delivered to the construction site within 24 hours, place in water so that the entire length of the cutting is completely in contact with the water surface or off-site in specially prepared facilities specifically constructed to store dormant live plant materials. Maintain facilities at a constantly cool temperature (34 deg F to 50 deg F) and with adequate humidity levels. 2. Keep cuttings in water or moist soils and covered with moisture-retaining medium throughout the time in storage. Periodically water to maintain moisture levels. While at the construction site, ensure that plants are not left in sun to dry out; keep moist and in shaded area. 3.1 PLANTING OF CUTTINGS A. Soaking of willow cuttings in flowing water for 5 to 7 days is recommended prior to planting in the spring to stimulate growth, break dormancy and to flush anti-rooting hormones from the cuttings. Soaking is not recommended for fall plantings because dormancy through the winter is the desired condition.   The Trust for Public Land - Story Mill Ecological Restoration Project CUTTINGS RESPEC, Inc. 32 9228 / 3   B. Willow cuttings can be installed using waterjet stingers (see NRCS Technical Note No. 39), tractor-mounted soil augers, planting bars, excavator mounted dibble bars, or by pushing the cuttings into moist soil by hand. The planting depth and location will determine the planting methods. The key to success is to have good contact between the cuttings and the soil with no air pockets (voids) around the cuttings. One advantage of using a waterjet stinger is that it uses water to create a planting hole which saturates it and soil material settles around the stem in a manner conducive to promoting root growth. For all other planting methods that do not use water, each hole will require packing soil around the cuttings to prevent air pockets and filling the hole with water and adding soil to make a mud slurry to remove air. PART 4 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 4.1 LIVE CUTTINGS A. Measurement will be made based on area planted (Acre). Payment shall be made at in the contract unit price for “Willow Cuttings”.
