1. Bulletin—If time permits, a Bulletin is issued prior to a Change Order. A Bulletin is an inquiry of the Contractor of the cost to complete the Work described in the Bulletin. It is intended as the basis of a Change Order if all parties reach agreement.

A Bulletin may be considered as the same as a Change Proposal except that a Bulletin is generated by the Engineer because it generally requires Specifications to be addressed.

2. Change Order (CO) —is a written order to the Contractor signed by the Owner, issued after execution of the Contract, authorizing a change in the Work or an adjustment in the Contract sum or the Contract time. A document which is signed by the Contractor and the Owner and authorizes an addition, deletion, or revision in the Work or an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Times, or other revision to the Contract, issued on or after the Effective Date of the Contract.

3. Change Proposal—A written request by Contractor, duly submitted in compliance with the procedural requirements set forth herein, seeking an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times, or both; contesting an initial decision by Engineer concerning the requirements of the Contract Documents or the acceptability of Work under the Contract Documents; challenging a Set-off against payments due;

or seeking other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract.

4. Constituent of Concern (CC)—Asbestos, petroleum, radioactive materials, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead based paint (as defined by the HUD/EPA standard) hazardous waste, and any substance, product, waste, or other material.

OAKLAND COUNTY - ADDITIONS to GENERAL CONDITIONS - 6

ARTICLE 3 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS INTENT REQUIREMENTS, REUSE

3.01 INTENT

A. The Drawings and Specifications are intended to include all Work and materials necessary for completion of the Work. Any incidental item of material, labor, or detail required for the proper execution and completion of the Work and omitted from either the Drawings or Specifications or both, but obviously required by governing codes, local regulations, trade practices, operational functions, and good workmanship, is to be provided as a part of the Contract Work without extra cost, even though not specifically detailed or mentioned.

ARTICLE 4 COMMENCEMENT AND PROGRESS OF THE WORK

4.01 COMMENCEMENT OF CONTRACT TIMES

A. Contractor is to start to perform the Work on the date when the Contract Times commence to run. No Work is to be done at the Site prior to such date except as recommended immediately following or by written authorization of the Owner AND the Engineer (Engineer must be able to schedule appropriate RPR for Project.)

Contract time is governed by out-of-service time. The Contractor is encouraged to deliver equipment to the Site prior to Contract start. The Site will be available up to two (2) weeks prior to the agreed drainage date. Contractor is also encouraged to rig the structure, complete containment installation, and complete weld repairs that do not affect the wet interior prior to draining of the tank. The amount of Work completed is to have been approved at the Preconstruction Meeting. Since the tank is not out of service these dates do not apply against Out of Service time but may require scheduling RPR services (see Section 00 91 19.01 Scheduling for RPR Services).

B. Delaying Work start for the convenience of the Contractor may require Owner to Set-off inflation increased Engineering or RPR expenses against Contractor’s Request for Payment.

4.05 DELAYS IN CONTRACTOR’S PROGRESS

A. Liquidated Damages

1. Contract time is governed by out-of-service time.

2. On tank projects, the date of Substantial Completion is the date the tank is or would have been returned to service, except for voluntary delay by Owner. Date of Substantial Completion is after complete cure, disinfection, and testing. A voluntary delay in filling by Owner, or delay that is no fault of the Contractor, may extend Substantial Completion date.

3. Abnormal weather conditions are defined as weather conditions that are at variance with the routine. Below is an example of the determination procedure and of the required claim format, and is not intended to match the specified project:

Project length: 45 days

OAKLAND COUNTY - ADDITIONS to GENERAL CONDITIONS - 7

Substantial Completion date: June 30th.

Start date: May 16th.

3 years of data* 2021, 2022, 2023 Average number of rain/wind days: 9 Actual number of rain/wind days**: 12 Claim for time extension: 3 days.

4. *Submit weather history from nearest weather reporting station for three (3) previous years from the same time period. Submit formal, by simple claim (use format above).

5. **Rain/wind day is a rain or wind day where either rain and/or wind conditions exceeded safe Work conditions or were outside the parameters of good paint practices. Wind days are winds in excess of 20 mph for over four (4) hours during normal Work hours, and rain days having measurable precipitation.

6. Weather Claim Evaluation: Engineer will evaluate claim and make sole determination as to whether days meet criteria. Engineer will disallow dates where Work could have been completed on the interior; dates that result from the Contractor’s Work practices (i.e., complete wet interior first and then move to the exterior). Good weather days not used will count against the claim.

7. Claimed rain/wind days that occur after the scheduled Substantial Completion Date, or an extended Substantial Completion Date will not be awarded.
