AIR POLLUTION CONTROL IN AIR BASINS

No burning will be permitted on this project except that the Department of Environmental Protection will permit the operation of an air curtain destructor, (open pit incinerator) as defined in Title 25, Section 129.14, of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection, for the destruction of wood waste generated by clearing and grubbing operations provided that the incinerators are properly designed, located and operated. Permission may be granted for units both within and outside the air basin areas defined in Title 25, Section 121.1 of Chapter 121 of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of

Environmental Protection, but each proposal is required to be reviewed on an individual basis by the appropriate Regional Air Pollution Control Engineer.

If an air pollution problem is subsequently created by the operation of such a unit, the Department of

Environmental Protection will notify the Contractor and will take appropriate enforcement action if necessary. Determine what local ordinances, if any, will affect the project work. Check for any county, city, borough, or township rules or regulations applicable to the area in which the Project is being constructed, and, in addition, for any rules or regulations of other organizations having jurisdiction, such as chambers-of-commerce, planning commissions, industries, or utility companies who have jurisdiction over lands which the project occupies. Include any costs of compliance with local controls in the prices bid, even though documents of such local controlling agencies are not listed herein. No separate or additional payments will be made for complying with existing, amended or new local ordinances, directives, or controls.

CONTRACT UNIT PRICE

Wherever in the bid schedule of prices (including the Bid Document Attachment) an identical item number and description are used more than once, provide the same unit bid price for each bid entry.

Quantities shown thereon must be considered as approximate only. All work shown on the drawings, herein specified, required or implied in any way in the drawings or specifications shall be done regardless of whether or not the work is specifically defined in any bid item. All measurements for payment will be based on completed work performed in strict accordance with the drawings and specifications. All work completed under the contract shall be measured by the

Engineer or his representative.

SURETY BONDS

The Contractor shall note and comply with the provisions of Section 103.04 of PennDOT Publication

408/currently in effect.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Pennsylvania Tourism Signing Trust and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and the Trust will suffer financial loss if the Work is not substantially complete within one hundred sixty

(160) calendar days after the issuance of notice to proceed plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with the conditions outlined below in Section A entitled "Change of Contract Time". They also recognize the delays, expense and difficulties involved in proving in a legal or arbitration proceeding the actual loss suffered by the Trust if the Work is not substantially complete on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, Contractor shall pay the Trust the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per calendar day applicable to inspection, engineering and the Trust's cost for each day that expires after the one hundred sixty (160) calendar days of contract time specified above for substantial completion of the Work until the Work is substantially complete.

A. CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME

1) The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment. Any claim for an extension or shortening of the Contract Time shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to Trust promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless Trust allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Time will be valid if not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph.

2) The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to delays beyond the control of Contractor if a claim is made therefor as provided in Paragraph 1 above. Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by the Trust or to fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or the elements.

3) All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement. The provisions of this section shall not exclude recovery for damages (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration

Woolpert Special Provisions - 4 10027817.01 costs) for delay by either party.

A final Change Order will be issued upon final inspection of the project and acceptance by Penn DOT, to establish project final quantities and amount.
