8. 3 Prosecution of the Work. The Contractor shall begin the work to be per-
formed under the contract not later than ten (10) days after execution

to insure limits specified in the contract.
13 GP
8.4 Limitations of Operations. The Contractor shall conduct his work so
as to create a minimum amount of inconvenience to vehicular and pedes-
trian traffic. At any time when in the judgment of the Engineer, the
Contractor has obstruted or closed the road without sufficient cause
or is carrying on operations on a greater portion of the road than is
necessary for the proper prosecution of the work, the Engineer may re-
quire the Contractor to open the section so closed and to finish the
section on which work is in progress before work is started on any
additional section.
8.5 Character of Workmen and Equipment. The Contractor shall employ only
competent and efficient laborers, mechanics, and artisans, and whenever,
in the opinion of the Engineer, any employee is careless, incompetent,
obstructs the progress of the work, acts contrary to instructions or
conducts himself improperly, the Contractor shall , upon request of the
Engineer, discharge or otherwise remove him from the work and shall not
employ him again, except with the written consent of the Engineer.
The equipment used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in such
mechanical condition as to meet with the requirements of the work and
produce a satisfactory quality of work. All equipment shall be ready
for use when required by the Engineer. The Engineer may order the
removal of any unsatisfactory equipment and require its replacement
with equipment meeting his approval at the Contractor' s expense. The
measure of capacity and efficiency of equipment shall be its actual
performance on the work.
eft 8.6 Suspension of Work. The Engineer shall have authority to suspend the
work wholly or in part, for such period of time as he may deem neces-
sary, due to conditions unfavorable for the satisfactory prosecution of
the work, or to conditions which in his opinion warrant such action;
or for such time as is necessary by reason of failure on the part of
the Contractor to carry out orders given; or to perform any or all
provisions of the contract. No additional compensation will be paid
the Contractor because of any costs caused by such sjispensien, except
when the suspension is ordered for reasons not resulting from any act
or omission on the part of the Contractor and not related to weather
conditions. The Contractor shall not suspend work without written
authority from the Engineer.
8. 7 Determination and Extension of Contract Time for Completion. The time
for completion of contemplated work may be specified in the contract,
and it is understood that completion of the work within the time
specified is an essential part of the contract. If the Contractor finds
it impossible to complete the work within the time specified in the con-
tract, he may, at any time prior to the last ten(10) working days of the
time specified, make written request to the Department for an ex-
tension of time. He shall set forth in full in his request the reason
which he believes justify the granting of his request. If his request
is granted the extended time for completion shall then be considered
as in effect the same as if it were the original time for completion.
14 GP
8.8 Failure to Complete Work on Time. Should the Contractor fail to
complete the work within the time specified in the contract or within
such extended time as may have been allowed, the Contractor shall be
liable to the Department for costs incurred for engineering and in-
spection, temporary surfacing, temporary structures, maintenance of
that portion of the road uncompleted, maintenance of detours by the
Department or Engineer, and all other expenses incurred by the Depart-
mant by reason of the Contractor's failure to complete the work within
the specified time, and such amount shall be deducted from the monies
due the Contractor, not as a penalty but as damages sustained.
8.9 Default on Contract. If the Contractor fails to begin the work under
contract within the time specified, or fails to perform the work with
sufficient workmen and equipment or with sufficient materials to insure
the completion of said work within the specified time, or shall perform
the work unsuitable, as determined by the Engineer, or shall neglect or
refuse to remove materials or perform anew such work as shall be re-
jected as defective and unsuitable, or shall discontinue the prosecu-
tion of the work, or if the Contractor shall become insolvent or be de-
clared bankrupt, or shall commit any act of bankruptcy or insolvency,
or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or from any
other cause whatsoever shall not carry on the work in a manner approved
by the Engineer, the Engineer shall give notice in writing to the Con-
tractor an his Surety of such delinquency, and said notice to specify
the correction measures required. If the Contractor after a period of
ten (10) days after said notice shall not proceed in accordance there-
with, the Department shall , upon written certificate from the Engineer
eik of the fact of such delinquency and the Contractor's failure to comply
with said notice, have full power and authority to forfeit the right of
the Contractor and at its option to call upon the Surety to complete the
work in accordance with the terms of the contract, or it may take over
the work, including any or all materials and equipment on the grounds as
may be suitable and acceptable, and may complete the work by or on its
own force account, or may enter into a new agreement- for the completion
of said contract according to the terms and provisions thereof, or use
such other methods as, in its opinion, shall be required for the com-
pletion of said contract in an acceptable manner. _. All costs and
charges under contract, shall be deducted from any monies due or which
may become due on such contract. In case the expense so incurred by
the Department shall be less than the sum which would have been payable
under the contract had it been completed by the Contractor, the Con-
tractor shall be entitled to receive the difference subject to any
claims for liens thereon which may be filed with the Department, or
any prior assignment filed with it, and in case such expense should
exceed the sum which would have been payable under the contract, the
Contractor and the Surety shall be liable and shall pay to the Depart-
ment the amount of such excess.

surface course, and pavements, the dimensions used in calculating pay
areas shall be the exact dimensions shown on the plan or the dimension
ordered by the Engineer in writing.
9.2 Scope of Payment. The Contractor shall receive and accept the compen-
sation as herein provided, in full payment for furnishing all materials,
labor, tools and for all loss or damage arising out of the nature of
the work or from action of the elements; for any unforseen difficulties
or obstructions which may arise or be encountered during the prosecution
of the work until its final acceptance by the Engineer; for all risks
of every description connected with the prosecution of the work; also

tinuance of such prosecution of the work as herein specified, or for any
infringement of patents, trademarks, or copyrights , and for completing
the work in an acceptable manner according to the plans and specifications.
9.3 Increased or Decreased Quantities. Whenever the quantity of any item of
work as given in the proposal shall be increased or decreased or any
new item of work is authorized in writing by the Engineer the Contractor
shall accept payment as follows:
(a) All such work and materials as appear in the proposal as a
specific item accompanied by unit prices shall be paid for at the con-
tract unit price or prices for the work actually done. No allowance
will be made for delays or anticipated profits.
(b) All such work and materials as do not appe.ar in the proposal or
contract as specified items accompanied by unit prices and which are not
included under the prices bid for other items in the contract shall be
designated as extra work and payment shall be accepted as herein described
for extra work. -
All alterations , cancellations, extensions and deductions shall be
authorized in writing by the Engineer before work is started. Such
authorizations shall set up items of work involved and the method of
payment for each item.
Claims for extra work which have not been authorized in writing by the
Engineer will be rejected.
9.4 Payment for Extra Work. Extra work will be paid for as follows:
(1) Either at a lump sum price or at a unit price agreed upon by
the contractor and Engineer.
rft. (2) On the following force account basis:
16 GP
(a) Labor. The Contractor will be paid for the actual amount
of wages for all labor and foremen in direct charge of the specific
work for each hour that said labor and foremen are actually engaged
in such work, to which shall be added fifteen (15) percent of the
sum thereof. A foreman shall not be used when there are less than two
(2) laborers employed, except with written consent of the Engineer.
(b) Bond, Insurance, and Tax. The Contractor will receive the
actual cost of Contractor's bond, public liability and property damage
insurance, workmen' s Compensation insurance, occupational tax and
social security tax required for force account work, to which no per-
cent shall be added. The Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence
of the rate or rates paid for such bond, insurance and tax.
(c) Materials. The Contractor will receive the actual cost for
all materials , including freight shown by original receipted invoices
and freight bills , which are an integral part of the finished work, to
which shall be added fifteen (15) percent of the sum thereof.
The Contractor will be reimbursed for any materials used in connection
with the work, such as sheeting, falsework, form lumber, burlap paper
or straw for curing, trench sheeting, etc. , which are not an integral
part of the finished work. The amount of reimbursement shall be agreed
upon in writing before such work is begun, and no percent shall be added.
The salvage value of such materials shall be taken into consideration in
the reimbursement agreed upon.
(d) Equipment. Machinery and equipment which the Contractor has
on the job for use on contract, shall be used on extra work as deemed
necessary or desirable. The Contractor will be paid for all machinery
and equipment used on extra work. The amount of reimbursement shall be
agreed upon in writing before such work is begun.
9.5 Payment for Incidental Bills. Upon written order of the Engineer, the
Contractor shall pay the bills for incidental expenses, incurred during
the performance of extra work on a force account basis, and for this he
will be reimbursed for the actual amount so paid out, to which shall be
added five (5) percent of the sum thereof.
9.6 Payment for Items Omitted When Partially Completed. Should the Depart-
ment cancel or alter any portion of the contract which results in the
elimination or non-completion of any portions of the work partially com-
pleted, the Contractor will be allowed a fair and equitable amount cover-
ing all items of work incurred prior to the date of cancellation, altera-
tion, or suspension of such work. When such elimination or non-comple-
tion involves a net decrease in the amount of the contract of more than
twenty-five (25) percent of the original contract price, a supplemental
agreement between the Contractor and the Department will be required.
9.7 Partial Payment. At least once each month, when requested by the Con-
tractor, in writing, the Engineer will make an approximate estimate, in
writing, of the materials in place completed, the amount of work per-
formed, and the value thereof, at the contract unit prices. From the
17 GP
amount so determined there shall be deducted fifteen (15) percent
emk to be retained until after completion of the entire work, except
that no amount less than $500.00 will be so certified unless the
total amount of the contract is less than $500.00
In addition, an estimate may, at the discretion of the Department and
upon presentation of receipted invoices and freight bills be made for
payment of the value of acceptable non-perishable materials delivered
on the work or in acceptable storage places and not used at the time
of such estimate. Ten (10) percent shall be retained from the value
of such materials until final payment. Such materials, when so paid
for by the Department, shall become the property of the Department,
and in the event of default by the Contractor, the Department, may use
or cause to be used such materials in the construction of the work pro-
vided for in the contract. The amount thus paid by the Department shall
be deducted from estimates due the Contractor as the material is used in
the work.
Partial payment for work or materials shall not be construed as an
acceptance of the work or any part of it, or as a waiver of any provi-
sions of the contract.
9.8 Semi-Final Payments. At the discretion of the Department and with the
consent of the Surety, a semi-final estimate may be made when the prin-
cipal items of work have been substantially completed. Payment to the
Contractor under such an estimate shall not exceed eighty-five (35)
percent of the amount retained by the Department after making partial
` payments , but in no event shall the amount retained by the Department
be less than $500.00.
9.9 Acceptance and Final Payment. Upon the satisfactory completion of any
portion of the work one (1) mile, or more in length, and upon written
approval of same by the Engineer, the Contractor shall be relieved of
any requirement for further work on such portions and from all liability
and responsibility, except that he shall remove any obstructions and
repair any damage caused by him subsequent to such approval and prior to
final acceptance of the entire section.
Whenever the improvement provided for by the contract shall have been
completely performed on the part of the Contractor, and all parts of the
work have been approved by the Engineer and accepted by the Department,
a final estimate showing the value of the work will be prepared by the
Engineer as soon as the necessary measurements and computation can be
made, all prior estimates upon which payments have been made being
approximate only and subject to correction in the final payment. The
amount of this estimate, less any partial or semi-final payments pre-
viously made and less any sums that have been deducted or retained under
the provisions of the contract, will be paid to the Contractor as soon
as practicable after the final acceptance, provided the Contractor
has furnished to the Department satisfactory evidence that all sums of
money due for any labor, materials, apparatus, fixtures or machinery
furnished for the purpose of such improvements have been paid or that
18 GP
The person or persons to whom the same may be due have consented to
such final payment.
The acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall constitute
a release and waiver of any and all rights and privilages under the
terms of the contract: further, the acceptance by the Contractor of
final payment shall relieve the Department from any and all claims or
liabilities for anything done or furnished relative to the work or for
any act or neglect on the part of the Department relating to or con-
nected with the work.
9. 10 Prevailing Wage Rate. It shall be mandatory upon the contractor to whom
the contract is awarded, and upon any subcontractor under him, that the
general prevailing rate of wages in said municipality for each craft or
type of workman or mechanic needed to execute the contract or perform

accordance with the provisions of this ordinance, and in the manner prescribed by law.
Section 7. That all ordinances, or parts of ordinances, in conflict with this ordi-
nance, be, and the same are hereby repealed.
