that may be required for the execution of the work to the location and limit marks prescribed in the specifications or on the contract drawings, subject to such modifications as the Contracting Officer may require to meet changed conditions or as a result of necessary modifications to the contract work.

1.7.3 Survey

Provide equipment, tools, material, labor for laying out any part of the work from the monuments, control data, and elevations established by the Government. Maintain and preserve all monuments, stakes and other marks established by the Contracting Officer until authorized to remove them, and if such marks or monuments are destroyed by the Contractor or through negligence, prior to their authorized removal, they may be replaced by the Contracting Officer, at their discretion, and the expense of replacement will be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor.

The Contracting Officer may require that work be suspended at any time when location and limit marks established by the Contractor are not reasonably adequate to permit checking of the work.

1.8 DAMAGE TO WORK

The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work will be as set forth in Clause PERMITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1. However, if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood, earthquake, hurricane, or tornado, which damage is not due to the failure of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable Contract unit or job prices as fixed and established in the Contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or job prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to Clause CHANGES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1 will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or job prices. Except as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment and plant shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

identified by a private utility locating service. Any utilities found which are not shown on the construction drawings must be brought to the Contracting Officer's attention prior to proceeding with construction.

1.10.1 Notification Prior to Excavation

Notify the Contracting Officer at least 15 days prior to starting excavation work. Contact "CALL SUNSHINE BEFORE YOU DIG" at 1-800-432-4770. Contractor is responsible for marking all utilities not marked by "CALL SUNSHINE".

1.11 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER (31 OCT 1989)

This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the Clause DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION) of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe; that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

1.11.1 Schedule of Monthly Anticipated Adverse Weather Delays

The schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

See Section 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER, STAGE AND TIDE DATA to obtain MONTHLY

ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY WORK DAYS BASED ON 5-DAY WORK WEEK.

1.11.2 Contractor Responsibility

Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the Contract, record on the daily CQC report the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day. Include the number of actual adverse weather delay days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in Section 00 33 50 WEATHER AND WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA (rounded to the nearest whole number), the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a modification in accordance with the Clause DEFAULT (FIXED PRICE CONSTRUCTION) of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1.

1.12 UNITS OF MEASURE

The standard U.S. system of measure shall be utilized by the Contractor in
