EXHIBIT'A' - Page 40 of 114
week and excluding Sundays and Holidays in anon leap -year) when the Contractor will be
expected to be unable to work on the controlling items as identified on the Contractor
submitted, Owner accepted, schedule:

Any day (per month) in excess of the days shown when the contractor is unable to work
on the controlling work item, as noted on the critical path schedule submitted by the
Contractor, due to weather conditions shall be deemed to be "unforeseeable abnormal and
unusually sever weather conditions" However, the final determination of weather days is
cumulative over the course of the entire construction period. Therefore, bad weather in
one month can be offset with good weather either in the preceding or following the
month(s) in question. Additional weather delays only count if the critical path work is
dependent on good weather. For example, if the work element is interior finishing then
weather is not considered a factor in the completion of that work, and therefore cannot be
basis for additional contract time. The allocated days assumes 52 days for Sundays
throughout the years and 10 holidays (New Years, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, 4t' of
July, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving [2] and Christmas [2]) throughout the year.
Accounting for these days shall be kept on a daily basis with monthly totals and shall be
turned in monthly with their pay request. These shall ten be possessed in the final change
order for the project.

shall be considered nonrigid or flexible conduits.
2. The depths of the existing utilities (gas, water, telephone, etc.) are not shown on the
plans unless they are otherwise noted on the plans as "field verified". The contractor
should anticipate a certain number of vertical grade conflicts between the proposed sewer
and the existing utility based on the depth and,size of the sewers, the number of utilities
shown on the plans and previous experience. The Contractor shall include the time and
expense which is typically associated with this type of conflict in his bid including down
time, loss of productivity, mobilization and remobilization but not the cost of relocating
the existing utility if that is found to be necessary.
3. Where horizontal and vertical separation from water lines cannot -be met (10 ft.
horizontal measured from outside edge to outside edge and 18" vertical), the sewer
material shall be either ductile iron, SDR 21 PVC or C900 PVC for a distance of 10 ft. on
either side of the crossing point.

in approximately six (6) inch layers. Compaction shall be accomplished by hand or
mechanical tamping or by "walking" the material in.
2. The laying of pipe in finished trenches shall be commenced at the lowest point,
proceeding upstream, with the spigot ends pointing the direction of flow.
EXHIBIT'A' - Page 69 of 114
3. The practice of blocking pipe up to grade with bedding material, then backfilling under
is prohibited. The entire length of the bed section is to be at proper grade before installing
pipe.
4. All pipes and specials shall be carefully inspected before being laid, and no cracked,
broken or defective pipe or special shall be used in the work. All pipe shall be carefully
inserted in the bell in such a manner that there will be no unevenness of any kind along
the bottom half of the pipes and so that there is a uniform joint space all around.
5. All pipe that is field cut shall have the homing -marks reestablished, insuring for proper
seating depths. Pipes that are field cut shall have the cut ends retapered, by grinding or
filing, as close to the original taper provided by the manufacturer as possible. When
homing pipe with a spud -bar or other mechanical equipment, other than by hand, place a
piece of wood between pipe and tool to prevent damage to bell end -section.
6. Pipe laid in open cut shall have all trench spaces and voids solidly and completely
filled with suitable earth materials from the excavations which shall be thoroughly and
solidly rammed into place, unless otherwise specified. The joints shall be constructed as
specified. The interior of the sewer shall, as the work progresses, be cleared of all dirt and
superfluous materials of every description. Whenever pipe laying is discontinued, the
unfinished end of the sewer shall be protected from displacement and cave-in or other
injuries. During the process of the laying, care shall be taken to protect both pipes and
joints from disturbance, and the trench shall be kept free from water until the joints shall

interior of the pipes. On sewers twenty-four (24) inches in diameter and less, a disc mold
or swab attached to a rod sufficiently long to pass two (2) joints from the end of the pipe
last laid, shall be continuously worked through as the laying of the pipe proceeds. The
ends of the pipes shall be protected to prevent the entrance of dirt or other foreign
substances. Such protection shall be placed at night or whenever pipe laying is stopped
for any reason. Suitable plugs designed for use with the pipe material shall be provided
and properly secured and used to cap all slants and branches. Pipe end protection and
devices shall be included in the prices bid per linear foot of sewer.
C. Flexible Conduit Installation

Clean reinforcement of loose rust and mill scale, earth, ice, and other materials which
reduce or destroy bond with concrete.
Accurately position, support and secure reinforcement against displacement by formwork,
construction, or concrete placement operation. Locate and support reinforcing by metal
chairs, runners, bolsters, spacers, and hangers as required.
EXHIBIT'N - Page 83 of 114
Place reinforcement to obtain at least minimum coverage for concrete protection.
Arrange, space and securely tie bars and bar supports to hold reinforcement in position
during concrete placement operations. Set wire ties so ends are directed into concrete,
not toward exposed concrete surfaces.
Install welded wire fabric in as long lengths as practical. Lap adjoining pieces at least one
full mesh and lace splices with wire. Offset end laps in adjacent widths to prevent
continuous laps in either direction.
D. Concrete Placement:
General: Comply with ACI 304: "Recommended Practice for Measuring, Mixing,
Transporting, and Placing Concrete," and as herein specified.
Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that no concrete will be place
on concrete that has hardened sufficiently to cause the formation of seams or planes of
weakness. If a section cannot be placed continuously, provide construction joints as
herein specified. Deposit concrete as nearly as practicable to its final location to avoid
segregation.
Cold Weather Placing: Protect concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength
which could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low temperatures, in compliance with
ACI 306 and as herein specified.
Do not use frozen materials or materials containing ice or snow. Do not place concrete
on frozen sub grade or on sub grade containing frozen materials.
Do not use calcium chloride, salt and other materials containing antifreeze agents or
chemical accelerators, unless otherwise accepted in mix designs.
E. Finish Of Surfaces:
Non -Slip Broom Finish: Apply non -slip broom finish to exterior concrete platforms,
steps and ramps, and elsewhere as indicated.
Immediately after trowel finishing, slightly roughen concrete surface by brooming with
fiber bristle broom perpendicular to the main traffic route. Coordinate required final
finish with Engineer before application.
F. Concrete Curing and Protection:
1. General: Protect freshly placed concrete form premature drying and excessive cold or
hot temperatures.
EXHIBIT'A' - Page 84 of 114
Start initial curing as soon as free water has disappeared from concrete surface after
placing and finishing. Weather permitting, keep protected against wind and rapid drying
for at least seven (7) days.
Begin final curing procedures immediately following initial curing and before concrete
has dried. Continue final curing for at least seven (7) days in accordance with ACI 301
procedures. Avoid rapid drying at end of final curing period.
2. Curing Methods: Perform curing of concrete by curing and sealing compound, by
moist curing, by moisture -retaining cover curing, and by combinations thereof, and as
herein specified. Refer to INDOT Section 702.11 for cold weather curing.
3. Curbs: Provide monolithic finish to interior curbs by stripping forms while concrete
is still green and steel -toweling surfaces to a hard, dense finish with corners intersections
and terminations slightly rounded.
H1000.06 QUALITY CONTROL TESTING DURING CONSTRUCTION:

SECTION 111100
TESTS, GUARANTEES, ACCEPTANCE
All testing shall be documented and signed by the Contractor and submitted to the owner for
review and approval. Notice of testing shall be provided by the Contractor to the Owner no later
than 48 hours in advance of scheduled tests.
111100.01 LOW PRESSURE AIR TESTING
A. Air testing procedures shall follow guidelines outlined in ASTM specifications C828,
C924, F1417 and/or Uni-Bell B6 for sanitary sewer pipes 24 inches and less in
diameter.
B. General:
1. Test pipes between adjacent manholes or structures. Test time for air pressure
to drop 1.0 psi. (For pipes 4 in. through 36 in. diameter comply with Table 1)
C. Preparation:
1. Isolate pipe section to be tested by plugging each end with air tight plugs. Plug
ends of branches, laterals, and wyes which are to be included in test section.
2. Brace plugs to prevent slippage and blowout due to internal pressures.
3. One plug shall have inlet tap or other provision for connecting air supply.
4. Air control equipment shall consist of valves and pressure gauges to control
rate at which air flows into test section and gauges to monitor air pressure inside
pipe. Pressure meter device shall accurately show PSI to nearest 1/10 of one
pound and shall respond to and record any change in void pressure instantly.
Systems which incorporate bladders, hoses, or like for monitoring pressure and
which have questionable accuracy will not be allowed.
D. Testing:
1. If pipe to be tested is submerged in water, determine height of water above
spring line of pipe at each end of test section and compute average. For each foot
of water above pipes spring line, increase test pressure by 0.43psi.
2. Add air slowly to test section until pressure inside pipe is raised to 4.0 psi
greater than average back pressure of water that may be over the pipe.
EXHIBIT'A' - Page 87 of 114
3. After pressure of 4.0 psi (above average back pressure of water) for a
minimum of 2 minutes to allow temperature of air to com into equilibrium with
temperature of pipe.
4. Determine rate of air lost by time pressure drop method.
a. After temperature stabilized for 2 minute period, disconnect air supply.
Allow air pressure to decrease to 3.5 psi. At this pressure, start stopwatch
to determine time required for pressure to drop 1.0 psi. Time required for
loss of 1.0 psi is then compared to Table 1.
b. If time is equal to or greater than time indicated in table, test shall be
acceptable.
c. If time is less than time indicated in table, make appropriate repairs and
retest.

not possible by the street department using typical street plowing methods,
the Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining access to driveways
and streets throughout the winter or placing cold patch such that the Street
Department can safely and adequately plow the street using typical street
plowing methods.
CONTRACTOR QUESTION 2: Is there an area to stage equipment and
material?
ANWER 2: The Richmond Sanitary District has not obtained any area
outside of the current street right-of-way for staging or storage. The area
in the center of the cul-de-sac at the south end of College Ave. is available
for use. All disturbed or damaged areas or surfaces will be required to be
repaired or replaced at no cost to the OWNER (work will be considered
incidental).
CONTRACTOR QUESTION 3: Can the street be closed?
ANWER 3: College Ave. is not able to be closed as it is a dead end street
(to the south). Access must be maintained at all times.
EXHIBIT'A' - Page 92 of 114

r Geotechnical-Engineering Report ---)
Geotechnical Services Are Performed for
Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects
Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the
specific needs of their clients. A geotechnical-engineering
study conducted for a civil engineer may not fulfill the needs of
a constructor — a construction contractor — or even another
civil engineer. Because each geotechnical- engineering study
is unique, each geotechnical-engineering report is unique,
prepared solely for the client. No one except you should rely on
this geotechnical-engineering report without first conferring
with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one
— not even you — should apply this report for any purpose or
project except the one originally contemplated.
Read the Full Report
Serious problems have occurred because those relying on
a geotechnical-engineering report did not read it all. Do
not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected
elements only.
Geotechnical Engineers Base Each Report on
a Unique Set of Project -Specific Factors
Geotechnical engineers consider many unique, project -specific
factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors
include: the client's goals, objectives, and risk -management
preferences; the general nature of the structure involved, its
size, and configuration; the location of the structure on the
site; and other planned or existing site improvements, such as
access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless
the geotechnical engineer who conducted the study specifically
indicates otherwise, do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering
report that was:
• not prepared for you;
• not prepared for your project;
• not prepared for the specific site explored; or
• completed before important project changes were made.
Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing
geotechnical-engineering report include those that affect:
• the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed
from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light -
industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse;
• the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight
of the proposed structure;
• the composition of the design team; or
• project ownership.
As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer
of project changes —even minor ones —and request an
assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot
accept responsibility or liability for problems that occur because
their reports do not consider developments of which they were
not informed.
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
A geotechnical-engineering report is based on conditions that
existed at the time the geotechnical engineer performed the
study. Do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose
adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time;
man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the
site; or natural events, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes,
or groundwater fluctuations. Contact the geotechnical engineer
before applying this report to determine if it is still reliable. A
minor amount of additional testing or analysis could prevent
major problems.
Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional
Opinions
Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those
points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are
taken. Geotechnical engineers review field and laboratory
data and then apply their professional judgment to render
an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the
site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ — sometimes
significantly— from those indicated in your report. Retaining
the geotechnical engineer who developed your report to
provide geotechnical-construction observation is the most
effective method of managing the risks associated with
unanticipated conditions.
A Report's Recommendations Are Not Final
Do not overrely on the confirmation -dependent
recommendations included in your report. Confirmation -
dependent recommendations are not final, because
geotechnical engineers develop them principally from
judgment and opinion. Geotechnical engineers can finalize
their recommendations only by observing actual subsurface
conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical
engineer who developed your report cannot assume
responsibility or liability for the report's confirmation -dependent
recommendations if that engineer does not perform the
geotechnical-construction observation required to confirm the
recommendations' applicability.
A Geotechnical-Engineering Report Is Subject
to Misinterpretation
Other design -team members' misinterpretation of
geotechnical-engineering reports has resulted in costly
problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical
engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team
after submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical
engineer to review pertinent elements of the design team's
plans and specifications. Constructors can also misinterpret
a geotechnical-engineering report. Confront that risk by
having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and
preconstruction conferences, and by providing geotechnical
construction observation.
Do Not Redraw the Engineer's Logs
Geotechnical engineers: prepare final boring and testing logs
based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory
data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a
geotechnical-engineering report should never be redrawn
for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only
photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but
recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk.
Give Constructors a Complete Report and
Guidance
Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they
can make constructors liable for unanticipated subsurface
conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation.
To help prevent costly problems, give constructors the
complete geotechnical-engineering report, but preface it with
a clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise
constructors that the report was not prepared for purposes
of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited;
encourage them to confer with the geotechnical engineer
who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/
or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of
information they need or prefer. A prebid conference can also
be valuable. Be sure constructors have sufficient time to perform
additional study. Only then might you be in a position to
give constructors the best information available to you,
while requiring them to at least share some of the financial .
responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions.
Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals, and constructors fail to
recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than
other engineering disciplines. This lack of understanding
has created unrealistic expectations that have led to
disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the risk
of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include
a variety of explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes
labeled "limitations; many of these provisions indicate where
geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end, to help
others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read
these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical
engineer should respond fully and frankly.
Environmental Concerns Are Not Covered
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform
an environmental study differ significantly from those used to
perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical-
engineering report does not usually relate any environmental
findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about
the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks
or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental
problems have led to numerous project failures. If you have not
yet obtained your own environmental information,
ask your geotechnical consultant for risk -management
guidance. Do not rely on an environmental report prepared for
someone else.
Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal
with Mold
Diverse strategies can be applied during building design,
construction, operation, and maintenance to prevent
significant amounts of mold from growing on indoor surfaces.
To be effective, all such strategies should be devised for
the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a
comprehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a
professional mold -prevention consultant. Because just a small
amount of water or moisture can lead to the development of
severe mold infestations, many mold- prevention strategies
focus on keeping building surfaces dry. While groundwater,
water infiltration, and similar issues may have been addressed
as part of the geotechnical- engineering study whose findings
are conveyed in this report, the geotechnical engineer in
charge of this project is not a mold prevention consultant;
none of the services performed in connection with the
geotechnical engineer's study were designed or conducted for
the purpose of mold prevention. Proper implementation of the
recommendations conveyed in this report will not of itself be
sufficient to prevent mold from growing in or on the structure
involved.
Rely, on Your GBC-Member Geotechnical Engineer
for Additional Assistance
Membership in the Geotechnical Business Council of the
Geoprofessional Business Association exposes geotechnical
engineers to a wide array of risk -confrontation techniques
that can be of genuine benefit for everyone involved with
a construction project. Confer with you GBC-Member
geotechnical engineer for more information.

7.0 LMffATIONS OF STUDY
An inherent limitation of any geotechnical engineering study is that conclusions must be
drawn on the basis of data collected at a limited number of discrete locations. The
recommendations provided in this report were developed from the information obtained
from the test borings that depict subsurface conditions only at these specific locations and at
the particular time designated on the logs: Soil conditions at other locations may differ
from conditions occurring at these boring locations. The nature and extent of variations
between the borings may not become evident until the course of construction. If variations
then appear evident, it will be necessary to re-evaluate the recommendations of this report
3' after perfonning on -site observations during the excavation period and noting the
characteristics of any variation.
Our professional services have been performed, our findings obtained and our
reeonunendations prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnieal engineering
principles and practices. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties either express or
implied. This company is not responsible for the independent conclusions, opinions or
recommendations made by others based on the field exploration and laboratory test data
presented in this report.
The scope of our services does not include any environmental assessment or investigation
for the presence or absence of hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, ground water or
' surface water within or beyond the site studied.

Classification on logs are made by visual inspection of samples.
Standard Penetration Test — Driving a 2.0 in. O.D. 1-3/8 in. I.D. sampler a distance of 1.0 ft into
undisturbed soil with a 140 pound hammer free falling a distance of 30.0 in. It is -customary for ATC to
drive the spoon 6.0 in. to seat into undisturbed soil, then perform the test. The number of hammer
blows for seating the spoon and snaking the test are recorded for each 6.0 in. of penetration on the drill
log (example — 6/8/9). The standard penetration test result can be .obtained by adding the last two
figures (i.e., 8 + 9 =17 blows/ft). (ASTM D-1586-67).
Strata Changes — In the column "Soil Descriptions" on the drill log the horizontal lines represent strata
changes. A solid line () represents an actually observed change. A dashed line (-----) represents
an estimated change.
Ground Water observations were made at the times indicated. Porosity of soil strata, weather
conditions, site topography, etc., may cause changes in the water levels indicated on the logs
