1. PAYMENT

The price for each contract line item shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, appurtenances, and incidentals and performing all operations necessary to construct and complete the items in accordance with these specifications and the applicable drawings, including surveying performed by the Contractor. The bid schedule shall define the contract line items. Work paid under one contract line item will not be paid for under any other contract line item.
