1.05 SITE INVESTIGATION

A. The CONTRACTOR, by virtue of signing the Contract, acknowledges that he and all his subcontractors have satisfied themselves to the nature and location of the work, the general and local conditions including, but not restricted to: those bearing upon transportation; disposal, handling and storage of materials; access roads to the site; the conformation and conditions of the work area; and the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the performance of the work. Failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR to completely or properly evaluate the site conditions shall not be grounds for additional compensation.

B. Soil boring information may be furnished to the CONTRACTOR for his general information. Such data is not warranted to be correct; the CONTRACTOR, by virtue of signing the Contract, acknowledges that he and his subcontractors have satisfied themselves as to the nature and extent of soil and (underground) water conditions on the project site. Unless approved in writing by the ENGINEER, no additional payment will be made to the CONTRACTOR because of differences between actual conditions and those shown by the boring logs.

1.06 WORK BY OTHERS

A. Concurrent Work by Other CONTRACTORS. The CONTRACTOR's attention is directed to the fact that work may be conducted at the site by other CONTRACTORS during the performance of the WORK under this Contract. The CONTRACTOR shall conduct its operations so as to cause little or no delay to WORK of such other CONTRACTORS, and shall cooperate fully with such

CONTRACTORS to provide continued safe access to their respective portions of the site, as required to perform work under their respective contracts.

B. Interference With Work On Utilities. The CONTRACTOR shall cooperate fully with all utility forces of the OWNER or forces of other public or private agencies engaged in the relocation, altering, or otherwise rearranging of any facilities which interfere with the progress of the WORK, and shall schedule the WORK so as to minimize interference with said relocation, altering, or other rearranging of facilities.

1.07 WORK SEQUENCE

A. The CONTRACTOR shall schedule and perform the work in such a manner as to result in the least possible disruption to the public's use of marina, roadways, driveways, and utilities. Utilities shall include but not be limited to water, sewerage, drainage structures, ditches and canals, gas, electric, television, cable and telephone. Prior to commencing with the WORK, CONTRACTOR shall perform a location investigation of existing underground utilities and facilities and shall have obtained all required permits and permissions, CONTRACTOR shall also deliver written notice to City of Dania Beach City Engineer (OWNER’S Representative), and the engineer of record

(ENGINEER), and property occupants (private and public) of all planned disruption to roadway, driveways, and utilities 72 hours in advance of disruption.

CONTRACTOR shall notify the OWNER, schools, Post Office, residents, Broward

County Traffic Engineering, Emergency Service providers, etc. 14 days prior to disruption

SOUTHEAST DRAINAGE RETROFIT PROJECT

011000 - 4 of drive aisle or accessible path. If accessible path is disrupted an alternative path meeting

ADA requirements shall be provided during this period.

1.08 WORK SCHEDULE

A. Time is of the essence in completing this project. Because time is of the essence the

CONTRACTOR shall commit the necessary resources to this project to complete it in a timely manner. Those resources may include multiple working crews, working overtime, etc. Because time is of the essence the CONTRACTOR's construction progress will be monitored closely on a regular basis. The Construction progress will be measured with the construction schedule submitted by the CONTRACTOR. If the ENGINEER determines that the CONTRACTOR does not meet the CPM as specified in Section 013100, the CONTRACTOR will be required to commit those resources necessary to ensure the completion of the project in a timely manner including working overt ime, adding other work crews, etc. All costs incurred to implement measure to complete the work in timely manner will be borne by the CONTRACTOR at no additional cost to the OWNER.

B. SCHEDULE

1. CONTRACTOR shall submit scheduling information for the work as required in Section

A. It is the CONTRACTOR's responsibility to provide clear and convincing documentation to the

ENGINEER as to the effect additional work will have with respect to additional contract time extension that may be justified. If additional quantities of work can be carried out concurrent with other existing construction activities without disrupting the critical path of the project, then no contract time extension will be granted. CONTRACTOR is obligated to provide documentation to the ENGINEER if additional elements of work affect the critical path of the project. If work set forth in the original scope of the project is deleted, the contract time may be reduced. This contract is a calendar day contract.

1.28.14 UTILITY CROSSINGS

A. It is intended that wherever existing utilities must be crossed that the pipe may be deflected up to

75% of the manufacturer's recommended limits and adequate cover shall be used to adequately clear the obstruction. However, when in the opinion of the ENGINEER, this procedure is not feasible he may direct the use of fittings to clear a utility crossing as detailed on the Drawings.

The cost of such crossing including joint restraints shall be on the basis of the schedule of pay items applied.

B. Deflections and adjustments of the proposed water and/or sewer mains to avoid all other existing utilities shall be verified/determined in the field during construction.

C. The contractor is alerted to the fact that there are Dania Beach has several water main distribution lines (2”, 4”, 6”, 8” and 12”) throughout the project limits. Service connections to properties are via alleyways running in the east – west direction. In addition, the City also has water distribution lines along 4th Terrace, 5th Street, 6th Street, 7th Street, 2nd Avenue, 3rd Avenue, and 4th Avenue.

The contractor is alerted to the fact that the location of these water mains depicted on the plans is approximate. It is expected that several conflicts with the proposed drainage system will be unavoidable. As a result, the water lines will need to be deflected. As part of this project, the contractor shall perform water main deflections to avoid conflicts with the proposed drainage system. Prior to the installation of the proposed drainage system in the proximity of the water lines, the contractor shall coordinate with Dania Beach operations to locate the existing water main and to determine if a deflection is required. Once this is determined, the contractor shall perform the deflection as depicted on the plans.

1.28.15 BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

A. Where mains are to be paid for on a unit price per linear foot basis, the number of linear feet will be determined by measurement along the centerline of the pipe in place, including fittings.

B. Where items are to be paid for on a unit price per square yard basis, the number of square yards will be determined by measurement the actual square yards installed.

1.28.16 ADJUSTMENT AND RELOCATION OF EXISTING LINES

A. It is intended that wherever the drawings indicate that existing lines must be deflected, the pipe shall be deflected up to 75% of the manufacturer's recommended limits and the CONTRACTOR will be so directed by the ENGINEER. If the ENGINEER determines that the use of new pipe and fittings is required for deflection, the CONTRACTOR will be directed to use this method.

The price for either method shall be based upon the unit prices bid. This does not apply to connections to existing system

1.28.17 CONNECTION TO EXISTING SYSTEM

A. The CONTRACTOR shall perform all work necessary to locate, excavate and prepare for connection to the existing mains as shown on the Drawings. The cost of this work and for the actual connection to the existing main shall be based upon the unit prices for installing the pipe and appurtenances and shall not result in any additional cost to the CITY. The cost of ductile iron sleeves shall be included in the fitting’s unit price.

A. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the relocation of structures that are shown on the drawings, including, but not limited to, light poles, signs, fences, piping, conduits and drains that interfere with the proposed positioning of the water/sewer mains.

CONTRACTOR shall coordinate all relocations with the appropriate utility.

1.28.19 UTILITIES

A. Existing utilities are shown on the Drawings insofar as information is reasonably available; however, it will be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to preserve all existing utilities whether shown on the Drawings or not.
