CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

At the project pre-construction meeting, the Contractor shall submit for review and approval by the Engineer a detailed construction schedule that shall clearly indicate the sequential procedure of work proposed to be followed to complete the work as required by the contract documents. In preparing the construction schedule, the Contractor shall follow the required completion date, calendar days, or additional Special Provisions as specified relating to the construction schedule.

The construction schedule shall depict all work components and essential activities, the time required for the completion of each of the activities, and the sequence and interdependence of each of the activities in a project timetable which will translate each project day into an ordinary calendar day. The Contractor shall maintain the construction schedule and shall submit an updated schedule to the Engineer on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis as determined by the Engineer. No separate payment will be made to the Contractor for the creation and maintenance of the construction schedule.

The Village provides the public with construction schedule and project status through the Village's web page. The Contractor shall provide construction-related information in a format consisting of an E-mail, letter, or fax acceptable to the Engineer. The Contractor shall assume that this information shall be provided on a weekly basis during construction and may change to a shorter time frame based on construction activity changes or a longer time frame based on construction inactivity. The Engineer shall determine the time frame and format to be provided by the Contractor.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Should the Contractor fail to complete the work, including cleaning up, to the point of final acceptance of the work by the Engineer within the time specified in the Contract Documents for the Date of Completion and/or Date(s) of Substantial Completion, and agreed upon by the Contractor by accepting the Contract, or within such extra time as may be allowed in accordance with the Contract Documents, there shall be deducted from any monies due the Contractor, or that may become due the Contractor, the sum(s) of $1,275 per day for each and every calendar day, including Sundays and holidays, that the work remains uncompleted.

This sum shall be considered and treated not as a penalty but as fixed, agreed, and liquidated damages due the Village from the Contractor by reason of inconvenience to the public, added cost of supervision, and other items which may have caused an expenditure of funds resulting from their failure to complete the work within the time specified.

The Village shall charge the Contractor and may deduct from partial and final payments for the project, for all Engineering and Inspection expenses incurred by the Village in connection with any work accomplished after the Date of Completion specified in the Contract Documents.

Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the work, or any part of it after the time fixed for its completion, or after the date to which the time of completion may have been extended, shall in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the Village of any of its rights under the Contract.

UTILITY LOCATION

The Contractor must exercise extreme caution while working around existing utilities. The Contractor shall notify JULIE (1-800-892-0123), a minimum of 48 hours before commencing construction for utility locations within the scope of the project. It is recommended that the Contractor conduct a joint utility meet. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to contact all agencies who may or may not be part of the JULIE system to verify the location of their facilities.

The Village does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this existing utility information. The Contractor shall make their own investigation to determine the existence, nature, and location of all utility lines and appurtenances within the limits of the improvement. The Contractor shall locate all utilities far enough in advance to avoid all conflicts in grade separation between existing utilities and the proposed improvements. If the Contractor encounters a conflict between the proposed improvements and existing utility that was not located in advance by the Contractor, then the Contractor shall, at no cost to the Village, relocate the proposed improvements and/or the utility to avoid the conflict.

The Contractor will be required to cooperate with all utility companies involved in connection with the removal, temporary relocation, reconstruction, or abandonment by these companies of any and all services or facilities owned or operated by them within the limits of this improvement.

Before doing any work, which will damage, disturb, or leave unsupported or unprotected utility lines, the Contractor shall notify the respective Owner. The Owner will make all arrangements for relocating, adjusting, or otherwise maintaining or abandoning service on lines that fall within the limits of the proposed construction without cost to the Contractor. This includes the removal of all cables, manhole covers, and other appurtenances which the Owner desires to salvage. After such arrangements have been made, the Contractor will proceed with the work as directed by the Engineer. All utility lines and appurtenances which are abandoned by the Owner shall be removed and disposed of by the Contractor.

No extra compensation will be allowed to the Contractor for any expense incurred by complying with these requirements or because of delays, inconvenience, or interruptions in their work resulting from the failure of any utility company to remove, relocate, reconstruct, or abandon their services. The Contractor shall be responsible for prompt and timely removal, relocation, reconstruction, or abandonment of their facilities by all utility companies involved, and the coordination of their own work with that of these companies to end that work on this improvement is not delayed because of necessary changes in the existing utilities, public or private.

1. Keep standby pumps fueled and operational at all times.

2. Maintain on site sufficient number of valves, tees, elbows, connections, tools, sewer plugs, piping, and other parts or system hardware to ensure immediate repair or modification of any part of system as necessary.

3. Provide piping, joints and accessories designed to withstand at least twice the maximum system pressure or 50 psi (345 kPa), whichever is greater.

4. In areas where flows are bypassed, all discharge flow shall be returned to the sanitary sewer. No bypassing to ground surface, receiving waters, storm drains, or bypassing which results in groundwater contamination or potential health hazards shall be permitted.

In the event sewage is released into a storm drainage system or street, the Contractor shall immediately stop the release, notify IEPA, and take all necessary actions to clean up and disinfect spillage to satisfaction of the Engineer.

During plugging or bypass pumping operations the Contractor shall utilize sewer plugs specifically designed so that all or any portion of sewage can be released. During sewer flow control operations, reduce flow to comply with requirements as describe above. After cleaning, inspection, installation or rehabilitation work has been completed, restore the flow to normal. All plugging, bypass pumping and sewer flow control operations shall be considered incidental to the Contract and shall not be compensated for separately.

Basis of Payment. The cost of sewer flow control will not be paid for separately but shall be considered as included in the unit bid prices of the contract, and additional compensation will not be allowed.

PROTECTION OF EXISTING DRAINAGE FACILITIES DURING CONSTRUCTION

Unless otherwise noted in the contract plans, the existing drainage facilities shall remain in use during the period of construction.

Locations of existing drainage structures and sewers, if shown on the contract plans, are approximate. Prior to commencement of work, the Contractor, at their own expense, shall determine the exact location of existing structures which are within the proposed construction site.

All drainage structures are to be kept free from any debris resulting from construction operations. All work and materials necessary to prevent accumulation of debris in the drainage structure resulting from construction operations shall be removed at the Contractor’s own expense, and no extra compensation will be allowed.

Unless reconstruction or adjustment of an existing manhole, catch basin, or inlet is called for in the contract plans or ordered by the Engineer, the proposed work shall meet the existing elevations of these structures. Should reconstruction or adjustment of a drainage structure be required by the Engineer in the field, the necessary work and payment shall be done in accordance with Section 602 and Article 104.02 respectively, of the Standard Specifications.

Existing frames and grates are to remain unless otherwise noted in the contract plans or as directed by the Engineer. Frames and grates that are missing or damaged prior to construction shall be replaced. The type of replacements frame or grate shall be determined by the Engineer, and replacement and payment for same shall be in accordance with Section 604 and Article 104.02 respectively, of the Standard Specifications unless otherwise noted in the plans or special provisions.

ITEM #1: PRE-CONSTRUCTION SURFACE TELEVISING

Description. This work consists of performing color video and audio recording of the project area and other areas which may be impacted by construction, specifically excavation or any work that requires backyard access.

Preconstruction video recordings will include coverage of the project area and all other areas which may be impacted by construction. Video recordings will also include construction easements when applicable. Video recordings will provide a visual record of all physical features within those areas, including, but not limited to, roadways, pavements, curbs, gutters, driveways, driveway aprons, sidewalks, carriage walks, parkways, trees, landscaping, shrubbery, plantings, landscaping walls, retaining walls, signs, sign posts, fences, utility poles, light poles, utilities, equipment, manholes, b-boxes, cleanouts, valves, curb structures, pipelines, buildings, mailboxes, and any other features located within the project area.

Video recordings will begin with an audio narrative which provides the current date and time, the name of Owner and name of project, and a description of both the starting location and the location or locations to be recorded, including street name or names, street addresses, and any additional information which may be necessary to describe the location and subject of viewing.

Video recordings will maintain viewer orientation by means of an audio commentary in the audio track of each video recording which provides an explanation of what is being viewed; and by videotaping landmarks and readily identifiable objects (property addresses, street signs, etc.) at appropriate intervals.

Preconstruction surface televising will be recorded at a rate of travel not exceeding 48 feet per minute and zooming and panning rates will be controlled to provide clarity of features during playback. The finished product will be provided with bright, clear pictures and accurate colors free from distortion, tearing, rolls, or other forms of picture imperfection. The audio will have proper volume and clarity. All recordings will be performed at times of satisfactory visibility, and when no more than ten percent of ground is obscured by snow, leaves, or other cover.

If any element within or portion of the project area is not adequately documented by the preconstruction surface televising so as to definitively demonstrate its condition prior to the start of construction, Contractor will assume responsibility for the repair, restoration or replacement of that element or portion of the project area. Such repair, restoration or replacement will be to equal or better condition than previously existing and will further comply with all standards and provisions which govern the work in question.

Schedule. Pre-construction surface televising will be performed according to the following schedule:

a. Pre-construction surface televising will take place after a Notice to Proceed has been issued.

b. Pre-construction surface televising will take place after the Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators (JULIE) request for the project area has cleared.

c. Pre-construction surface televising will take place before any equipment, materials, or other items are delivered to the site.

d. Pre-construction surface televising will take place no more than fourteen

(14) chargeable days prior to the start of construction.

e. The required pre-construction surface televising deliverables will be submitted to the Engineer, and the Engineer will review and issue written approval of the video before any activity other than utility locating will be permitted to start. Such activity will include, but not be limited to, delivery of materials and equipment, installation of traffic control and erosion control, and completion of construction layout and tree protection. No days will be charged against the contract time while the video is under review by the Engineer, including the day the deliverables are submitted and the day a response is provided. If the video or any portions thereof are rejected, the contract time will commence to run until revisions are submitted.

f. The televising will be submitted to Engineer for review prior to commencement of any construction and receive acceptance of recordings prior to commencement of construction. Any areas found not acceptable to the Owner will be re-filmed at no additional cost to the contract.

Deliverables. Video will be high-definition, with a minimum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels per frame. Video will be filmed in a landscape aspect ratio. Video filmed in a portrait aspect ratio will be considered unacceptable and will be rejected.
