1.03 EQUAL OR APPROVED EQUAL

A. In the various detailed sections of the Specifications, where any item of material or equipment is specified by proprietary name, trade name, and/or name of one or more manufacturers, without the addition of such expressions as “or equal”, it is to be understood that these items are so specified for reasons of standardization or for special requirements of the job. For items so specified, no substitute products will be acceptable.

01010-2

B. In the various detailed sections of the Specifications, where any item of equipment is specified by proprietary name, trade name, and/or name of one or more manufacturers, with the additions of such expressions as "or equal", it is to be understood that equal quality equipment or products, of either a manufacturer named or of a manufacturer not named, which meet the detailed requirements of the specifications, are intended and are subject to the acceptance of the ENGINEER as to the equality thereof. It is distinctly understood that: (1) the ENGINEER is to use his own judgment in determining whether or not any item of equipment or product proposed is equal to that specified;

(2) the decision of the ENGINEER on all such questions of equality shall be final; and (3) in the event of any adverse decision by the ENGINEER, no claim of any sort shall be made or allowed against the ENGINEER or the OWNER.

C. If, subsequent to the award of the Contract, and in normally rare occurrences, it becomes necessary

(because of delays in delivery, strikes, discontinuance of the manufacture of items specified or the equal thereof, or any other similar reasons) for the CONTRACTOR to request the use of any item of equipment or product which is of a different type than the equipment or product specified, or the approved equal thereof, the ENGINEER at his discretion, may authorize the use of such different type equipment or product of the same, greater or less cost than that specified.

D. In such cases as described in Paragraphs B and C above, the CONTRACTOR shall submit to the

ENGINEER in writing (1) his request for permission to make a substitution, (2) a complete description of the proposed item, including dimensions, operational characteristics, changes (if any) that will be required to other related parts of the work, etc., and (3) full information as to the costs of the item specified, the cost of the different type item being proposed, as well as costs (additional or credits) or changes (if any) to any related parts of the work. Such information shall be in such form and detail as to permit the ENGINEER to check, to his satisfaction, the reason and costs involved. Upon acceptance of the substitution, in writing, the proper credits to be allowed the OWNER or the proper additional payments to be made to the CONTRACTOR represent the difference between the net cost to the CONTRACTOR of the substituted item or material, and the price at which he could have obtained the lowest priced item or materials specified.

E. The decision of the ENGINEER, from time to time, as to the proper credits to be allowed by the

OWNER or proper payments to be made by the CONTRACTOR, shall be final and conclusive upon the CONTRACTOR.

1.04 PRIORITY OF AND DISCREPANCIES IN CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. If the Bidder or CONTRACTOR finds an error in or a discrepancy between any of the Contract

Documents, such error or discrepancy shall be immediately reported to the ENGINEER for correction. If found during the bidding period, the correction will be issued by Addendum, and if during the Contract period, by field order or change order, as appropriate. No work shall proceed which is affected by the discrepancy prior to the ENGINEER's resolution of the problem.

B. In general, the plans and specifications are complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if required by all. All items necessary or incidental to completely construct or erect the work denoted shall be furnished as required to provide a complete operating facility whether specifically detailed by the plans and/or specifications or not.

01010-3

C. Where dimensions or locations of existing facilities are of importance to the successful performance of any part of the work of this Contract, the CONTRACTOR shall verify the correctness of such dimension or location in the field before any other procedure, whether of manufacture of related equipment or construction of related structure, shall begin. Failure of the CONTRACTOR to follow the required verification procedure here specified shall cause him to waive all right to claim for additional cost by reason on the later discovery of inaccurate dimensions or locations of existing facilities as depicted in the Contract Documents.

D. Should discrepancy be found to exist between the various Contract Documents, the following order of priority shall be followed in resolving the intent of the effected documents. In decreasing order of importance, the documents are the Specifications; Drawings; Supplementary Conditions. Further, it shall be understood that, in all cases, calculated dimensions shall prevail over scaled dimensions, and larger scale drawings shall take precedence over small scale drawings.

1.05 PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING

A. A pre-construction meeting will be held after award of the contract. A tentative meeting is scheduled for September 16, 2026 at Avondale Borough, 110 Pomeroy Avenue, PO Box 247, Avondale, PA 19311.

B. The CONTRACTOR will be notified of any changes to the date and time of this meeting and will be expected to attend with the designated Project Superintendent.

C. CONTRACTOR is required to submit a construction schedule showing the order in which the

CONTRACTOR proposes to carry on the work, the dates on which he will start several of the more salient features and the contemplated dates for completing the same.

1.08 SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA, SAMPLES AND CERTIFICATIONS

A. Fabricated materials or equipment to be incorporated in the work shall be subject to review by the ENGINEER. The CONTRACTOR shall obtain and check prints of manufacturer's certified shop drawings and other pertinent data. When the CONTRACTOR has reviewed the shop drawings and is satisfied they are correct, CONTRACTOR shall number each submittal (shop drawing, certificate, manual) and submit them to the ENGINEER for review. Submittal numbering system shall be the section number referenced by these Specifications followed by the submittal number (i.e., 02610-1, 03400-1 etc.).

B. Shop drawings are intended to mean fabrication and installation drawings. These drawings and pertinent data shall be complete and in such detail as the ENGINEER may require for providing information regarding the design, installation, testing, and operation for products and/or equipment.

C. All costs necessary for compliance with the requirements of this section of the Specifications shall be included in the bid.

D. Detailed shop drawings, data, and literature for fabricated materials or equipment to be incorporated in the work shall be submitted to the ENGINEER for review at least two weeks before fabrication.

F. All data, drawings, and correspondence from subcontractors, material men, or suppliers shall be routed through the CONTRACTOR. This procedure is required so that the CONTRACTOR's superintendent can familiarize himself with all information which the CONTRACTOR sends to the ENGINEER and also to prevent the ENGINEER from taking action upon something other than that which is desired by the CONTRACTOR. The ENGINEER shall consider for review only such data and details as are verified and transmitted to him directly by the CONTRACTOR.

G. All correspondence between the ENGINEER and the CONTRACTOR, all shop drawings, and all data for review of drawings or materials will be handled by the ENGINEER. All such data shall be delivered directly to him at the ENGINEER's office. The replies pertaining to these matters will be delivered to the CONTRACTOR or the CONTRACTOR's representative at the job site.

01300-4

H. A sufficient number of shop drawings and review data shall be submitted to the ENGINEER, who will retain four (4) copies of each submittal. All additional copies, up to a maximum of four (4), received by him will be returned to the CONTRACTOR or his representative at the job site.

The ENGINEER's notations of the action which he has taken will be noted on all the returned copies. Sufficient time for the review of all shop drawing submittals shall be allowed in the CONTRACTOR's schedule. A minimum of two weeks shall be allotted for each shop drawing review.

I. Drawings of minor or incidental fabricated materials and/or equipment may not be required by the ENGINEER. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish the ENGINEER with tabulated lists of such fabrications, showing the names of the manufacturers and catalog numbers, together with samples of general data as may be required to permit intelligent determination as to their accep-tability for incorporation in the work.

J. Upon successful review by the ENGINEER of the shop drawings, data sheets, samples, other data, the fabrications furnished shall be in conformity with the same. The acceptance of the shop drawings, data sheets, samples, or other data shall in no way release the CONTRACTOR from his responsibility for the proper fulfillment, by any fabrication, of the requirements of the Agreement.

K. All reviews of shop drawings, data sheets or literature are subject to the products fulfilling the specific requirements of the Drawings and Specifications. Review of items that do not conform in detail to the specified product shall place upon the CONTRACTOR the responsibility for suc-cessful operation of the proposed product. Should the item subsequently prove to be defective or otherwise unsatisfactory for the service for which it was intended, the CONTRACTOR shall, without cost to the OWNER and without obligation on the part of the ENGINEER, replace the item with the material originally specified. The ENGINEER's review of shop drawings or layout for any material, apparatus, or device shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from the responsibility of furnishing the same of proper dimension, size, quantity, quality, and all perfor-mance characteristics to efficiently perform the requirements and intent of the Contract Documents. Such review shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from responsibility for errors of any sort on the shop drawings. If the shop drawings deviate from the Contract Documents, the CONTRACTOR shall advise the ENGINEER of the deviations, in writing accompanying the shop drawings, including the reasons for the deviations, and shall request a deviation from the Contract Documents as hereinafter described.

L. The shop drawings are intended to be utilized by the CONTRACTOR for additional fabrication, assembly, and erection data. The shop drawings do not change or supersede the Drawings and Specifications except in specific cases when the CONTRACTOR requests, in writing, a deviation from the Drawings and Specifications. The CONTRACTOR's request for a change shall give, in detail, the specific change requested and shall state the reason for the change. Changes requested by the CONTRACTOR and reviewed by the ENGINEER shall not be construed to include acceptance of any change except the changed details specifically requested and accepted.

M. It shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to make all the necessary changes in other items, which result from deviations or changes requested by the CONTRACTOR and reviewed by the ENGINEER, so that all items perform the requirements and intent of the Contract Documents.

01300-5

N. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish the number of samples required by individual sections of the Specifications. Submit samples under separate transmittal letter with appropriate section and article number of the Specifications as identification. A separate transmittal letter is required for each sample submitted.

O. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish all certifications including Statements of Compliance, Installation Certificates, and certified test results as required by individual sections of the Specifications. Submit certificates under separate transmittal letter using the same numbering system as specified for shop drawings and product data. The number of certifications submitted shall be the same as used for shop drawing and review data submittals.

P. CONTRACTOR shall make resubmittals under procedures specified for initial submittals and shall identify changes made since previous submittals. ENGINEER will review the first submittal and the first resubmittal at no cost to the CONTRACTOR. Additional submittals will be reviewed by the ENGINEER and the costs for these reviews will be borne by the CONTRACTOR. These costs when incurred by the CONTRACTOR will be deducted from CONTRACTOR's progress payments. Each resubmittal shall contain the original submittal number with a suffix letter after the original number such as "A" for the first resubmittal, "B" for the second resubmittal, "C" for the third, and so forth.

EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL

A. This work shall consist of all temporary and permanent measures required throughout the duration of this Project to provide adequate drainage and erosion and sedimentation control measures for the site and all facilities. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for completion of the work as described herein and as shown or called out on the drawings.

Erosion and Sedimentation Control is incidental to the Contract.

2.01 MATERIALS

A. All materials shall be in accordance with the description herein and as shown or called out on the drawings. Erosion control procedures shall be in accordance with PennDOT Publication 408, latest edition, as well as all Federal, State and County Soil Conservation Specifications and Requirements.

3.01 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL

A. The CONTRACTOR shall schedule and conduct CONTRACTOR’s operations to minimize erosion of soils and to prevent silting and muddying of wetlands, streams, rivers, irrigation systems, and impoundments (lakes, reservoirs, etc.). Construction of drainage facilities and performance of the contract work which will contribute to the control of erosion and sedimentation shall be carried out in conjunction with earthwork operations, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations shall be kept to a minimum.

B. Prior to the suspension of construction operations for appreciable lengths of time, the

CONTRACTOR shall shape the earthwork in a manner that will permit storm runoff with a minimum of erosion. Temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures such as berms, dikes, or slope drains, deemed necessary by the ENGINEER, shall be provided, and maintained until permanent erosion control features are completed and operative. Temporary erosion control measures will be considered as a subsidiary obligation of the CONTRACTOR during the course of his work.

01565-2

C. The CONTRACTOR shall exercise care to preserve the natural landscape and shall conduct CONTRACTOR’s construction operations so as to prevent any unnecessary destructive scarring or defacing of the natural surroundings in the vicinity of the work area. Except where clearing is required for permanent works, for approved construction roads and for excavation operations, all trees, native shrubbery, and vegetation shall be preserved and shall be protected from damage which may be caused by the CONTRACTOR's construction operations and equipment.

D. Topsoil should be taken from the construction areas and should be stockpiled for reuse in finish grading. Stockpiles should be placed so as not to add any additional sediment to the construction.

The stockpiles should be mulched and/or seeded when exposed beyond twenty (20) days.

E. Graded areas are to be seeded immediately following earthmoving procedures. If the time of the year is not conducive for permanent seeding, temporary mulch and/or seeding should be used.

F. The CONTRACTOR shall also conform to the following practices and controls:

1. Waste or disposal and construction roads shall be located and constructed in a manner that will keep sediment from entering streams.

2. When work areas are located in or adjacent to drainage facilities, such areas shall be separated from the easement by a dike or other barrier to keep sediment from entering a drainage easement. Care shall be taken during the construction and removal of such barriers to minimize the siltation of adjacent drainage facilities or streams.

3. Pollutants such as fuels, lubricants, bitumens, raw sewage and other harmful materials shall not be discharged into or near rivers, streams, wetlands, and impoundments, or into natural or manmade channels leading thereto. Wash water or waste from concrete mixing operations shall not be allowed to enter live streams or discharged in wetlands.

4. All applicable regulations of fish and wildlife agencies and statues relating to the prevention and abatement of pollution shall be complied with in the performance of the contract.

5. Any area disturbed and left bare for three (3) days or more shall have a temporary mulch and/or seeding applied. If construction takes place during winter months when it is not practical to seed, the disturbed area shall be mulched.

6. When drainage ways are crossed, they shall not be left blocked overnight if this blockage could cause siltation downstream, or flooding to adjacent property. All drainage ways shall be restored to existing conditions or improved as directed by the ENGINEER.

7. Dumping of excavated or spoil material into adjacent streams, or on the banks of the stream where it may wash or slide into stream waters shall not be permitted.

8. Pumping of silt laden water from trenches into streams or wetlands shall not be allowed.

9. All construction equipment shall be operated in such a manner as to prevent pollution of any streams.

01565-3

10. Temporary stream crossings will be used to convey equipment and materials from one stream bank to the other. Under no circumstances will construction equipment be permitted to cross natural stream channels.

11. Excavated material or new backfill shall not be stored between trenches and bodies of water, rather they shall be stored on the opposite side of the trench.

12. All restoration work shall proceed as the work progresses and not left until end of the project.

13. Critical slopes shall be stabilized and protected from surface water runoff.

14. Erosion control devices, such as diversion or interceptor dikes, hay bales, shall be used to provide temporary erosion control during construction.

a. No debris or obstructions shall be left un-stabilized in flood plains beyond the period of project construction.

b. The method of construction in flood plains shall provide for daily protection of all disturbed areas to protect outlets.

c. Any cross drainage through flood plains shall be safely channeled through disturbed areas to protect outlets.

d. All materials deposited on public thoroughfares shall be immediately removed.

15. Construction shall not impair surface drainage, constitute a potential erosion hazard, or act as a source of sedimentation to any adjacent property or water course.

16. When it becomes necessary, the ENGINEER will inform the CONTRACTOR of unsatisfactory construction procedures and operations insofar as erosion control and water pollution are concerned. If the unsatisfactory construction procedures and operations are not corrected promptly, OWNER may suspend the performance of the construction until the unsatisfactory condition has been corrected.
