INTERPRETATION OF ESTIMATED QUANTITIES
2.1
The estimated quantities of work and materials given in the bid form are
considered approximate only and are to be used solely for the comparison of

Bidder plead misunderstanding or deception because of such estimate neither
of quantities nor of the character, location or other conditions pertaining to
the work.
2.2
Payment to the Contractor will be made only for the actual quantities of work
performed or materials furnished in accordance with the plans and other
contract or work assignment documents.
2.3
It is understood that the quantities may be increased, decreased or deleted
as provided in the contract documents without invalidating any of the unit or
lump sum prices bid.
MATHEMATICAL ERRORS
In the event of multiplication/extension error(s), the unit price shall prevail. In the
event of addition error(s) the extension totals will prevail. Written prices shall prevail
over figures. All bids shall be reviewed mathematically and corrected, if necessary,
using these standards, prior to additional evaluation.

GP 2.3. Public Opening of Proposals: Proposals will be opened at the time and place
designated in the Invitation for Bids, unless bidders are otherwise directed by addendum
or other confirmed communication. Bidders, their authorized agents, and other interested
parties are invited to be present.
ARTICLE GP 3 - SCOPE OF WORK
GP 3.1. Intent of Contract: The contract’s intent is to provide for construction and
completion of the work described. The Contractor will furnish labor, materials, equipment,
tools, transportation, and supplies to complete the work according to the plans,
specifications, and contract terms.
GP 3.2. Alteration of Plans or Character of Work: The County reserves the right to
make, at any time during the progress of the work, such increases or decreases in
quantities and such alterations in the grade or alignment of the project, as may be found
to be necessary or desirable. Such increases, decreases, or alterations shall not invalidate
the contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the work as
altered, the same as if it had been a part of the original contract. Under no circumstances
shall alterations of plans or nature of work involve work beyond the termini of the
proposed construction, except as may be necessary to satisfactorily complete the project.
Unless such alterations, increases, or decreases materially change the character of the
work to be performed or the cost thereof, the altered work shall be paid for at the same
unit prices as other parts of the work. If, however, the character of the work or the unit
costs thereof is materially changed, an allowance shall be made, either for or against the
Contractor, in such amount as the Engineer may determine to be fair and equitable. No
claim shall be made by the Contractor for any loss of anticipated profits because of any
such alteration, or by reason of any variation between the approximate quantities and the
quantities of work as done. If the altered or added work is of sufficient magnitude as to
require additional time in which to complete the project, such time adjustments may be
made in accordance with the provisions of subarticle GP 7.10. Should the Contractor or
the County discover subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially
from those indicated in the contract, or encounter other physical conditions at the site of
an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally
recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the contract, the Engineer
shall be promptly notified in writing of such conditions before they are disturbed. The
Engineer will promptly investigate the conditions and if found so materially differ and
cause an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for performance of the
contract, an equitable adjustment will be made and the contract amended in writing
accordingly. Any adjustment in contract time because of such change(s) will be made in
accordance with the provisions of subarticle GP 7.10
GP 3.3. Changes in Work: By written order and without notice to the sureties, the
County may change the drawings and specifications of the contract and the general scope
thereof. If the change will result in an increase in the total contract price, it will be
incorporated as an amendment to the contract or as required by Article X of the contract.
When making any change, prior to the issuance of the order for the changed work, the
County shall determine the method of charge or credit to be applied for the change from
one of the following methods:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
25 Aug 10 Revision
GENERAL PROVISIONS
PAGE GP-5
SECTION 8
____________________________________________________________________________
GP 3.3.1 Method 1: A change order shall be issued by the County to fix the total
lump sum value of the change, and shall establish the amount to be added to or
deducted from the contract price. On all changes involving extras that will be
added to the contract price, the price of the extras shall include the Contractor’s
overhead and profit, which shall be computed as described in Method 4 below. On
all changes that involve a net credit to the County, no allowance for overhead and
profit shall be figured.
GP 3.3.2 Method 2: If the change involves construction items for which unit bid
prices are shown in the proposal, the amount to be added or deducted from the
contract price shall be determined by multiplying the unit quantities of the items to
be added or omitted by the corresponding unit bid prices for the items involved.
GP 3.3.3 Method 3: If the work is performed on a unit price basis and the
change adds construction items for which no unit prices are shown in the proposal,
the unit prices for the items involved shall be negotiated between the Contractor
and the County, for which a change order shall be issued and the unit price applied
to the number of items involved.
GP 3.3.4 Method 4: By ordering the Contractor to proceed with the Force
Account Work and to keep and present, in such form as the County may direct, a
correct accounting of the total cost of the change, together with all vouchers
therefor. The total cost shall be as follows:
GP 3.3.4.1 Compute the net cost of the change, which shall include:
direct labor and supervision and items incidental to labor, such as public
liability insurance, workmen’s compensation insurance and social
security; materials and sales taxes on materials, the actual use of power
tools and equipment having a value in excess of $50.00 at standard AED
‘Green Book’ rental rates; and power.
GP 3.3.4.2 Compute an allowance for overhead and profit not to
exceed the following percentages of the net cost of the change, as
determined in Articles GP 3.2, 3.3.4, 3.3.4.1, 4.3, 4.15, 4.16.2, 6.13,
and 8.6:
− for all work performed directly by the Contractor without
subcontracting, 15% overhead and 10% profit for the Contractor;
− for all work performed directly by a subcontractor for the Contractor,
15% overhead and 10% profit for the subcontractor, and 10%
handling charge for the Contractor;
− for all work performed by sub-subcontractor for the subcontractor,
15% overhead and 10% profit for the sub-subcontractor, 10%
handling charge for the subcontractor, and 10% handling charge for
the Contractor.
The 15% overhead and the 10% profit will not be applied to work with
these allowances previously added, nor shall the 10% handling charge
be applied to work not subcontracted. The 10% handling charge may be
applied to the net cost of the change plus its allowable overhead and
profit. Items considered as overhead are bond or bonds, supervision,
timekeepers, clerks, watchmen, small tools valued less than $50.00,
incidental job burdens, and general office expense.
GP 3.3.4.3 The total cost of the change order shall be the sum of the
amounts computed in accordance with Articles GP 3.2, 3.3, 4.3, 4.15,
4.16, 6.13, and 8.6.
GP 3.3.4.4 Where required by the County, the Contractor shall furnish
the County an itemized breakdown of the quantities and prices used in
computing the value of any change that may be ordered.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
PAGE GP-6
SECTION 8
____________________________________________________________________________
GP 3.3.5 Method 5: If work is to be performed for which no unit price is
established in the bid form, the prices for the item involved shall be negotiated
between the Contractor and the County, and a work assignment shall be issued
with the unit prices applied to the items involved and those unit prices shall become
a part of the contract.
GP 3.4 Maintenance of Traffic: Unless otherwise provided, all roads within the limits of
the contract shall be kept open to all traffic by the Contractor. Where so provided on the
plans or approved by the Engineer, the Contractor may bypass traffic over an approved
detour route. The Contractor shall keep the portion of the project used by through or local
public traffic in such condition that traffic will be adequately accommodated.
The
Contractor shall furnish, erect, and maintain barricades, warning signs, delineators,
flagman, and pilot cars in accordance with FDOT’s Manual of Traffic Control and Safe
Practices for Street and Highway Construction. The Contractor shall provide and maintain
in a safe condition temporary approaches, crossings, and intersections with trails, roads,
streets, businesses, parking lots, residences, garages, and farms. The Contractor shall
bear all expenses of maintaining the traffic over the section of road undergoing
improvement and of constructing and maintaining such approaches, crossings,
intersections, and other features as may be necessary, without direct compensation,
except as provided below:
GP 3.4.1 Special Detours: When the proposal contains an item for maintenance
of detours or removing existing structures and maintaining traffic, the payment for
such item shall cover all cost of constructing and maintaining such detour(s),
including construction of all temporary bridges and accessory features, the removal
of same, and obliteration of the detour road. Right-of-way for temporary highways
or bridges called for under this paragraph will be furnished by the County.
GP 3.4.2 Maintenance of Traffic During Suspension of Work: During any
suspension, the Contractor shall make passable and open to traffic such portions of
the project and temporary roadways or portions thereof as may be agreed upon
between the Contractor and the Engineer for the temporary accommodation of
necessary traffic. Thereafter and until an issuance of an order for the resumption
of construction operations, the maintenance of the temporary route or line of travel
agreed upon will be by and at the expense of the County. When work is resumed,
the Contractor shall replace or renew any work or materials lost or damaged
because of such temporary use of the project, shall remove, as directed by the
Engineer, any work or materials used in the temporary maintenance thereof by the
County, and shall complete the project as though its prosecution had been
continuous and without interference. Additional work caused by such suspension,
for reasons beyond the control of the Contractor, will be paid for by the County at
contract prices, or by extra work.
GP 3.4.3 Maintenance Directed by the Engineer: If the Engineer directs
special maintenance for the traveling public, then the Contractor will be paid on the
basis of unit prices or under subarticle GP 3.3., Changes in Work. The Engineer
will be the sole judge of work to be classed as special maintenance.
GP 3.5 Rights in and Use of Materials Found on the Work: With the Engineer’s
approval, the Contractor may use such stone, gravel, sand, or other material as may be
found in the excavation, and will be paid both for the excavation of such materials at the
corresponding contract unit price and for the pay item for which the excavated material is
used. The Contractor shall replace at the Contractor’s own expense with other acceptable
material, all of that portion of the excavated material so removed and used which was
needed for use in the embankments, backfills, approaches, or otherwise. No charge for
the materials so used will be made against the Contractor. The Contractor shall not

GENERAL PROVISIONS
PAGE GP-7
SECTION 8
____________________________________________________________________________
excavate or remove any material from within the highway location that is not within the
grading limits, as indicated by the slope and grade lines, without written authorization
from the Engineer.
GP 3.6 Final Clean-Up: Before final acceptance, borrowed and local material sources
and areas occupied by the Contractor shall be cleaned of all rubbish, excess materials,
temporary structures, and equipment. All parts of the work shall be left in acceptable
condition.
ARTICLE GP 4 - CONTROL OF WORK
GP 4.1. Authority of the County Engineer: The Engineer will decide all questions as to
the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work performed and rate of progress
of the work, the interpretation of the plans and specifications, and the acceptable
fulfillment of the contract on the part of the Contractor. The Engineer will have the
authority to suspend the work, wholly or in part, due to the failure of the Contractor to
correct conditions unsafe for the workers or the general public, for failure to carry out
provisions of the contract, for failure to carry out orders, for such periods as deemed
necessary due to unsuitable weather, for conditions considered unsuitable for the
prosecution of the work, or for any condition or reason in the public interest.
GP 4.2. Plans and Working Drawings: Plans will show details of all structures, lines,
grades, typical roadway cross-sections, location and design of all structures, and a
summary of items on the proposal. The Contractor shall keep one set of plans available on
the work site at all times. The plans will be supplemented by such working drawings as
necessary to adequately control the work. Working drawings for structures shall be
furnished by the Contractor and shall consist of such detailed plans as required to
adequately control the work and are not included in the plans furnished by the County. All
working drawings must be approved by the Engineer and such approval shall not operate
to relieve the Contractor of responsibility under the contract for the successful completion
of the work. The contract price will include the cost of furnishing all working drawings.
GP 4.3. Conformity with the Plans and Specifications: All work performed and
materials furnished shall be in close conformity with the lines, grades, cross sections,
dimensions, and material requirements, including tolerances, shown on the plans or
indicated in the specifications. If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work
performed, or the finished product not within close conformity with the plans and
specifications but reasonably acceptable, the Engineer shall make a determination if the
work shall be accepted and remain in place. In that event, the Engineer will document the
basis of acceptance that will provide for an appropriate adjustment in the contract price for
such work or materials deemed necessary to conform to the determination based on
engineering judgment. In the event the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work
performed, or the finished product are not in close conformity with the plans and
specifications, and have resulted in an inferior or unsatisfactory product, the work or
materials shall be removed and replaced or otherwise corrected by and at the expense of
the Contractor.
GP 4.4. Coordination of Project Special Provisions, Special Provisions, Plans,
Design Standards, Technical Provisions, and FDOT Specifications: The Project
Special Provisions, Special Provisions, plans, Design Standards, Technical Provisions, FDOT
Specifications, and all supplementary documents are essential parts of the contract, and a

Contractor has considered in the bid all of the permanent and temporary utility
appurtenances in their present or relocated positions as shown on the plans and no
additional compensation will be allowed for any delays, inconvenience, or damage
sustained due to any interference from said utility appurtenances or the operation of
moving them.
GP 4.8. Cooperation between Contractors: The County reserves the right to contract
for and perform other or additional work on or near the work covered by the contract.

cooperate with each other as directed. Each Contractor involved shall assume all liability,
financial or otherwise, in connection with their contract and shall protect and hold
harmless the County, its Commissioners, officers, officials, employees, agents, and
volunteers from and against any and all damages or claims that may arise because of
inconvenience, delays, or loss experienced because of the presence and operations of
other Contractors working within the limits of the same project. The Contractor shall
arrange the work and place and dispose of the materials being used so as not to interfere
with the operations of the other Contractors within the same project. The Contractor shall
join work with that of the others in an acceptable manner and shall perform it in proper
sequence to that of the others.
GP 4.9. Authority and Duties of the Project Engineer: A direct representative of the
Engineer, the Project Engineer has immediate charge of the engineering details of each
construction project and is responsible for the administration and satisfactory completion
of the project. The Project Engineer has the authority to reject defective material and
suspend any work improperly performed.
GP 4.10. Duties of the Inspector: County inspectors will be authorized to inspect all
work done and materials furnished. Such inspection may extend to all or part of the work,
and to the preparation or fabrication of the materials to be used. The inspector is not
authorized to issue instructions contrary to the plans and specifications, or act as
superintendent for the Contractor; however, the inspector shall have the authority to
reject work or materials until any questions at issue can be referred to and decided by the
Engineer.
GP 4.11. Inspection of Work: All materials and work are subject to inspection by the
Engineer. The Engineer shall be allowed access to all parts of the work and furnished with
information and assistance by the Contractor to make a complete and detailed inspection.
At the Engineer’s request, the Contractor, any time before acceptance of the work, shall
remove or uncover portions of the finished work as directed. After examination, the
Contractor shall restore said portions of the work to the standard required by the
specifications.
Should the work thus exposed or examined prove acceptable, the
uncovering, removing, and replacing of the covering or making good of the parts removed
will be paid for as extra work; should the work so exposed or examined prove
unacceptable, the uncovering, removing, and replacing of the covering or making good of
the parts removed will be at the Contractor’s expense. Any materials used or work
performed without qualified supervision by the Contractor, or inspection by any authorized
County representative may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense,
unless the County representative failed to inspect after having been provided notice that
the work was to be performed.
GP 4.12.
Removal of Unacceptable and Unauthorized Work:
All work not
conforming to the contract requirements will be considered unacceptable, unless otherwise
determined acceptable under the provisions in subarticles GP 3.2, 3.3, 4.3, 4.15, 4.16,
6.13, and 8.6. Unacceptable work, resulting from poor workmanship, use of defective
material, damage through carelessness, or any other cause, found prior to the final
acceptance of the work shall be removed immediately and replaced in an acceptable
manner. Work done contrary to the instructions of the Engineer, done beyond the lines
shown on the plans or except as herein specified, or any extra work done without authority
will be considered as unauthorized and will not be paid for under the provisions of the
contract. Work so done may be ordered removed or replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
Upon failure by the Contractor to comply with any order of the Engineer made under the
provisions of this article, the Engineer will have authority to cause unacceptable or

SECTION 8
____________________________________________________________________________
unauthorized work to be remedied or removed and replaced, and to deduct the costs from
any monies due or to become due the Contractor. After the unacceptable work has been
corrected to the standard required by the contract specifications, the work will be reinspected by the Engineer. If the re-inspected work is still unacceptable to the Engineer,
the cost of all subsequent re-inspections may be deducted from any monies due or to
become due to the Contractor.
GP 4.13. Load Restrictions: The Contractor will comply with legal load restrictions
when hauling materials on public roads beyond the project limits. Special permits do not
relieve the Contractor of liability for damages resulting from moving materials or
equipment. The operation of equipment of such weight or so loaded as to cause damage
to structures of the roadway or to any other type of construction is not permitted. Hauling
of materials over the base course or surface course under construction shall be limited as
directed. No loads will be permitted on a concrete pavement, base, or structure before the
expiration of the curing period. In no case shall legal load limits be exceeded unless
permitted in writing. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damage done by hauling
equipment.
GP 4.14. Maintenance During Construction: The Contractor shall maintain the work
during construction until project acceptance. Maintenance constitutes continuous and
effective work prosecuted day by day with adequate equipment and forces so that the road
or structures are kept in satisfactory condition. In the case of a contract for the placing of
a course upon a course or subgrade previously constructed, the Contractor shall maintain
the previous course or subgrade during all construction operations.
All cost of
maintenance work during construction and before the project is accepted is included in the
unit prices for various pay items; the Contractor will not be paid an additional amount for
such work.
GP 4.15. Failure to Maintain Roadway or Structure: If the Contractor fails to comply
with subarticles GP 3.2, 3.3, 4.3, 4.16, 6.13, and 8.6, the Engineer will immediately notify
the Contractor of the non-compliance. If the Contractor fails to remedy the unsatisfactory
maintenance within 24 hours after receipt of Notice, the Engineer will immediately proceed
to maintain the project, and the entire cost of maintenance will be deducted from monies
due or to become due the Contractor on the contract.
GP 4.16. Acceptance:
GP 4.16.1 Partial Acceptance: If, during the prosecution of the project, the
Contractor substantially completes a unit or portion of the project, i.e., structure,
interchange, or section of road or pavement, the Contractor may request the
Engineer to make an inspection of that unit. If the Engineer finds the unit
satisfactorily completed in compliance with the contract, the Engineer may accept
that unit as complete. Such partial acceptance in no way voids or alters the terms
of the contract nor the warranty provisions of Section GP 9.
GP 4.16.2
Final Acceptance:
Upon due notice from the Contractor of
presumptive completion of the entire project, the Engineer will make an inspection.
If all construction provided for and contemplated by the contract is found
completed satisfactorily, the Engineer will execute a Certificate of Completion. If
the inspection discloses any work in whole or in part as unsatisfactory, the Engineer
will give the Contractor the necessary instructions for correction of same, and the
Contractor shall immediately comply with and execute such instructions. After the
acceptable work has been corrected to the standard required by the contract
specifications, the work will be re-inspected by the Engineer. If the re-inspected
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SECTION 8
____________________________________________________________________________
work is still unacceptable to the Engineer, the cost of all subsequent re-inspections
may be deducted from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor.
GP 4.17. Claims for Adjustment and Disputes: If, in any case, the Contractor deems
that additional compensation is due for work or material not clearly covered in the contract
nor ordered by the Engineer as extra work as defined herein, the Contractor shall notify
the Engineer in writing of intentions to make claim for such additional compensation before
beginning the work on which the claims are based. If such notification is not given and
the Engineer is not afforded proper facilities by the Contractor for keeping strict account of
actual costs as required, the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim for such
additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor, and the fact that the Engineer
has kept account of the cost as aforesaid, shall not in any way be construed as proving or
substantiating the validity of the claim. If the claim, after consideration by the Engineer,
is found to be just, it will be paid as extra work as provided herein for Force Account Work
pursuant to GP 3.3.4. Nothing in this subarticle shall be construed as establishing any
claim contrary to the terms of subarticles GP 3.2, 3.3, 4.3, 4.15, 4.16, 6.13, and 8.6.
GP 4.18. Automatically-controlled Equipment: Whenever batching or mixing plant
equipment is required to be operated automatically under the contract and a breakdown or
malfunction of the automatic controls occurs, the equipment may be operated manually or
by other methods for a period of 48 hours following the breakdown or malfunction,
provided this method of operation will produce results otherwise meeting specifications.
GP 4.19. Superintendence: The Contractor shall designate in writing before starting
work, and have on site, irrespective of the amount of work sublet, at all times, a
competent Superintendent who shall have the authority to represent and act for the
Contractor, and have full authority to execute Engineer’s orders or directions without
delay, and promptly supply required materials, equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals.
The Superintendent shall be capable of reading and thoroughly understanding the plans
and specifications, and thoroughly experienced in the type of work being performed. The
Superintendent shall be an employee of the Contractor’s organization. The Contractor will
not be allowed to designate a Subcontractor as the Superintendent.
Failure of the Superintendent to be present at the job site at all times when work is in
progress on the contract will be considered as failure on the part of Contractor to perform
a provision of the contract, and as such, the County Engineer’s Representative may
suspend all work until such time satisfactory arrangements have been made to have the
Superintendent on the job site at all times when work is in progress. No additional
compensation or additional contract time will be allowed by reason of the suspension.
ARTICLE GP 5 - CONTROL OF MATERIAL
GP 5.1. Source of Supply and Quality Requirements: The materials used on the
work shall meet all quality requirements of the contract. To expedite the inspection and
testing of materials, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer of proposed sources of
materials prior to delivery. At the option of the Engineer, materials may be approved at
the source of supply before delivery is started. If it is found, after trial, that sources of
supply for previously approved materials do not produce specified products, the Contractor
shall furnish materials from other sources after approval by the Engineer.

SECTION 8
____________________________________________________________________________
GP 5.2. Local Material Sources: Possible sources of local materials may be designated
on the plans and described in the special provisions. The quality of material in such
deposits will be acceptable in general, but the Contractor shall determine the amount of
equipment and work required to produce a material meeting the specifications. It is
understood that it is not feasible to ascertain from samples the limits for an entire deposit,
and that variations shall be considered as usual and are to be expected. The Engineer
may order procurement of material from any portion of a deposit and may reject portions
of the deposit as unacceptable. The County may acquire and make available to the
Contractor the right to take materials from the sources designated on the plans and
described under special provisions together with the right to use such property as may be
specified for plant sites, stockpiles, and hauling roads. If the Contractor desires to use
material from sources other than those designated, the necessary rights shall be acquired
to take materials from the sources and shall pay all costs related thereto, including any
which may result from an increase in length of haul. All costs of exploring and developing
such other sources shall be borne by the Contractor. The use of material from other than
designated sources will not be permitted until such preliminary samples, as required by
the Engineer, have been obtained and tested at the expense of the Contractor. Additional
samples may be required of the Contractor for inspection and testing by the Engineer,
prior to approval of and authorization to use the source. When materials deposits are not
designated in the Special Provisions, the Contractor shall provide sources of material
acceptable to the Engineer. When sources of material or material deposits are provided by
the Contractor, the County will assume the cost of processing samples to determine the
suitability of the material. Unless otherwise permitted, pits and quarries shall be so
excavated that water will not collect and stand therein. Sites from which material has
been removed shall, upon completion of the work, be left in a neat and presentable
condition. Where practicable, borrow pits, gravel pits, and quarry sites will be located so
they are not visible from the highway.
GP 5.3. Samples, Tests, Cited Specifications: The Contractor shall have all materials
inspected, except as allowed in subarticles GP 5.4 and GP 5.5, and tested by a certified
testing laboratory. Results shall be submitted in writing to the Engineer for approval
before the materials are incorporated in the work except as stated in GP 5.4 and GP 5.5.
Any work in which untested materials are used without approval or written permission of
the Engineer shall be performed at the Contractor’s risk.
Materials found to be
unacceptable and unauthorized will not be paid for and, if directed by the Engineer, shall
be removed at the Contractor’s expense.
All materials being used are subject to
inspection, test, or rejection at any time prior to or during incorporation into the work.
Unless otherwise designated, all tests shall be in accordance with the most recent cited
standard methods of AASHTO or ASTM that are current on the date of advertisement for
Bids.
GP 5.4. Certification of Compliance: The Engineer may permit use, prior to sampling
and testing, of certain materials or assemblies accompanied by certificates of compliance
that state such materials or assemblies fully comply with contract requirements. The
certificate shall be signed by the manufacturer. Each lot of such materials or assemblies
delivered to the work must be accompanied by a Certificate of Compliance with the lot
clearly identified. Materials or assemblies used on the basis of certificates of compliance
may be sampled and tested at any time and, if found nonconforming with the contract
requirements, will be subject to rejection whether in place or not. The form and
distribution of the Certificates of Compliance shall be as approved by the Engineer. The
Engineer reserves the right to refuse use of materials or assemblies on the basis of the
Certificates of Compliance.

Plant Inspection:
The Engineer may inspect materials at the source.
Manufacturing plants may be inspected periodically for compliance with specified
manufacturing methods. Material samples will be obtained for laboratory testing for
compliance with quality requirements.
This may be the basis for acceptance of
manufactured lots as to quality. The County reserves the right to retest all materials prior
to incorporation into the work which have been tested and approved at the source of
supply, after the same has been delivered, and to reject all retested materials which do
not meet the requirements of these specifications or those established for the specific
project.
GP 5.6. Storage of Materials: Materials shall be stored to assure the preservation of
their quality and fitness for the work. Stored materials, even if approved before storage,
may be inspected prior to their use in the work. Stored materials shall be located to
facilitate their prompt inspection. Approved portions of the right-of-way may be used for
materials and equipment storage but additional space required will be provided at the
Contractor’s expense. Private property will not be used for storage without written
permission of the property owner or lessee, with copies furnished the Engineer if
requested. Storage sites shall be restored to their original condition at the Contractor’s
expense. This shall not apply to the stripping and storing of topsoil or other salvaged
materials.
GP 5.7. Handling Materials: Materials shall be handled in such manner as to preserve
their quality and fitness for the work. Aggregates shall be transported from the storage
site of the work in vehicles so constructed as to prevent loss or segregation of materials
after loading and measuring in order that there may be no inconsistencies in the quantities
of materials intended for incorporation in the work as loaded, and the quantities as
actually received at the place of operations.
GP 5.8. Unacceptable Materials: Material not conforming to the requirements of the
specifications shall be considered unacceptable, and will be rejected and removed
immediately from the site of the work unless otherwise instructed by the Engineer. No
rejected material, the defects of which have been corrected, shall be used until approval
has been given.
GP 5.9. County-furnished Material: The Contractor shall furnish all materials required
to complete the work, except those specified to be furnished by the County. Material

The Contractor’s rate of progress, not progressing such that, in the County’s
opinion, substantial or final completion, or both, may be inexcusably delayed;
The Contractor’s failure to use the contract funds, previously paid the Contractor by
the County, to pay Contractor’s project-related obligations including, but not limited
to, subcontractors, laborers and material and equipment suppliers;
Claims made, or likely to be made, against the County, or its property;
Loss caused by the Contractor;
The Contractor’s failure or refusal to perform any of its obligations to the County
after written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure as set forth above.
In the event the County makes written demand upon the Contractor for amounts
previously paid by the County as contemplated in this subsection, the Contractor shall
promptly comply with such demand. The County’s rights hereunder survive the term of
this contract are not waived by final payment or acceptance and are in addition to the
Contractor’s obligation stated in Section 8 herein.
GP 7.9 Methods and Equipment: All equipment used on the work will be of sufficient
size and mechanical condition to meet requirements of the work and
produce a
satisfactory quality of work. Equipment used on any portion of the project shall be such
that no injury to the roadway, adjacent property, or other highways will result from its
use. When methods and equipment are not prescribed in the contract, the Contractor is
free to use any methods or equipment to accomplish the work according to the contract
requirements. Specified methods and equipment will be used unless authorized by the
Engineer. Requests to use methods and equipment other than that specified shall be in
writing with a full description of the methods and equipment proposed and the reasons for
making the change. Approval will be on the condition that the Contractor will be fully
responsible for producing work in conformity with contract requirements. If trial use of the
substituted methods or equipment does not meet contract requirements, the Contractor
shall discontinue the use of the substituted methods and equipment. The Contractor shall
remove the deficient work and replace it with work of specified quality, or take such other
corrective action as the Engineer may direct. No change will be made in basis of payment
for the construction items involved, or in contract time, as a result of authorizing a change
in methods or equipment under these provisions.
GP 7.10 Determination and Extension of Contract Time: The number of calendar
days allowed for completion of the work is the contract time. Contract time begins upon
award of the contract by the Board of County Commissioners and includes all Sundays,
holidays and non-work days. Days of suspended work, as ordered by the Engineer, until
resumption of work for suspensions not the fault of the Contractor, shall be excluded. The
contract time allowed in the contract as awarded is based on the original quantities as
defined in the Instructions Terms and Conditions. If the contract requires work in greater
quantities than shown in the proposal, the contract time shall be increased based on the
amount and difficulty of the added work. If it is found impossible for reasons beyond the

Contractor’s control to complete the work within the contract time or as extended in
accordance with the provisions of this article, the Contractor may, at any time prior to the
expiration of the contract time as extended, make a written request to the Engineer for an
extension of time setting forth therein the reasons which will justify the granting of the
request. The Contractor’s plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid reason for
extension of time. If the Engineer determines work was delayed because of conditions
beyond the control and not the fault of the Contractor, the Engineer may extend the time
for completion as the conditions justify. The extended time for completion shall then be in
full force and effect the same as though it were the original time for completion. When
final acceptance has been duly made by the Engineer as prescribed in Article GP 4 the
daily time charge will cease.
GP 7.10.1 The date of substantial completion of a project or specified part of a
project is the date when the construction is sufficiently completed, in accordance
with the contract documents, so that the project or specified part of the project can
be utilized for the purpose for which it was intended.
GP 7.11 Failure to Complete on Time: For each calendar day any work remains
uncompleted after the contract time specified, the sum of money per calendar day
specified as liquidated damages in the contract and written in the contract will be deducted
from any money due the Contractor. The Contractor will not pay liquidated damages for
days in which an extension of time was granted pursuit to GP 7.10. Allowing the
Contractor to finish any work after the contract time or the contract time extension does
not waive the County’s rights under the contract. The County may waive such portions of
the liquidated damages as may accrue after the work is in condition for safe and
convenient use by the public.
GP 7.12 Default and Termination of Contract: The Contractor is considered in default
and the County shall give written notice to the Contractor and their surety of such default
if the Contractor:
−
Fails to perform the work with sufficient workers, equipment, or materials to assure
the prompt completion of work;
−
Performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials or to
perform anew such work as may be rejected as unacceptable and unsuitable;
−
Discontinues the prosecution of the work;
−
Fails to resume discontinued work within a reasonable time after notice to do so;
−
Becomes insolvent, is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bankruptcy or
insolvency;
−
Allows any final judgment to stand against the Contractor unsatisfied for a period of
10 calendar days;
−
Makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;
−
Fails to carry on the work in an acceptable manner;
−
Fails to correct safety concerns within 48 hours after discovery or County
notification to the Contractor;
The County will give notice in writing to the Contractor and their surety, if applicable, of
such delay, neglect, or default. Within 10 calendar days after such notice, if the
Contractor or surety does not proceed in accordance therewith, the County has full power
and authority without violating the contract to take the prosecution of the work away from
the Contractor. The County may appropriate or use any materials and equipment as may
be suitable and acceptable, and enter into an agreement for the completion of said
contract according to the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods the
County requires for the acceptable completion of said contract. All costs and charges

incurred by the County to complete the work of the contract will be deducted from monies
due or which become due the Contractor. If such expense exceeds the sum which would
have been payable under the contract, the Contractor and the surety are liable and will
pay the County the amount of such excess.
GP 7.13 Risk of Loss: Prior to the completion of the project by the Contractor and the
acceptance thereof by the County, risk of loss for the work shall remain at the risk of the
Contractor and said Contractor shall be required to repair, replace, renew, and make good
at the Contractor’s own expense all damages caused by force or violence of the elements
or any cause whatsoever, provided however, that in such cases the Contractor shall be
entitled to a reasonable extension of time within which to complete said work. If the delay
is due to the negligence, fault, or omission of the Contractor, the Contractor shall not be
entitled to the extension of time mentioned in the said subarticle.
GP 7.14 Delays Due to Weather Conditions: The County will handle time extensions
for delays caused by the effects of inclement weather differently from those resulting from
other types of delays. The County will consider these time extensions only when rains, or
other inclement weather conditions or related adverse soil conditions prevent the
Contractor from productively performing controlling items of work resulting in:
−
−
The Contractor being unable to work at least 50% of the normal workday on
predetermined controlling work items due to adverse weather conditions, or
The Contractor must make major repairs to work damaged by weather, provided
that the damage is not attributable to the Contractor’s failure to perform or
neglect: and provided that the Contractor was unable to work at least 50% of the
normal work day on pre-determined controlling work items.
No additional compensation will be made for delays caused by the effect of inclement
weather.
ARTICLE GP 8 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
GP 8.1 Measurement of Quantities: All work completed under the contract will be
measured by the Engineer according to United States standard measure. A station when
used as a definition or term of measurement will be 100 linear feet. The method of
measurement and computations to determine quantities of material furnished and work
performed will be methods recognized as conforming to good engineering practices. The
term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois. All materials
measured or proportioned by weight shall be weighed on accurate approved scales by
competent, qualified personnel at locations designated by the Engineer. If material is
shipped by rail, the car weight may be accepted provided only the actual weight of
material is paid for. However, car weights will not be acceptable for material to be passed
through mixing plants. Trucks used to haul material being paid for by weight shall be
weighed empty daily as the Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear plainly legible
identification marks. Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be
hauled in approved vehicles and measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for
this purpose may be of any size or type acceptable to the Engineer, provided that the body
is of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined. All
vehicles shall be loaded to their water level capacity and all loads leveled when the
vehicles arrive at the point of delivery. When requested by the Contractor and approved
by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be measured by the cubic yard may be
weighed and such weights will be converted to cubic yards for payment purposes. Factors
for conversion from weight measurement to volume measurement will be determined by

the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before such method of
measurement is used. The term "lump sum" when used as an item of payment will mean
complete payment for all of the work described under that item. When lump sum work is
specified as the unit of measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary
fittings and accessories. When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work
are designated as the pay quantities in the contract, they shall be the final quantities for
which payment for such specific portion of the work will be made, unless the dimensions of
said portions of the work shown on the plans are revised by the Engineer. If revised
dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of work, final quantities for
payment will be revised in the amount represented by the authorized changes in the
dimensions.
GP 8.2 Budget Sufficiency: Sarasota County’s performance and obligation to pay under
this contract is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Board of County
Commissioners.
GP 8.3 Scope of Payment: The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation
provided for in the contract as full payment for furnishing materials, performing work
under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner, and all risk, loss, damage, or
expense of whatever character arising out of the nature of the work or the prosecution
thereof, subject to the provisions of subarticle GP 3.2, 3.3, 4.3, 4.15, 4.16, 6.13, and 8.6.
If the basis of payment clause in the Technical Provision or specification relating to any
unit price in the bid schedule requires that the said unit price cover and be considered
compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, this same work or
material will not be measured or paid for under any other pay item in the specifications.
GP 8.4 Method of Payment: The County shall pay the Contractor through payment
issued by the Clerk of Courts in accordance with the Florida Prompt Payment Act of the
Florida Statutes, Chapter 218.70, upon receipt of the Contractor’s invoice and written
approval of same by the County’s Administrative Agent indicating that services have been
rendered in conformity with this agreement. The Contractor shall submit an invoice for
payment to the County on a monthly basis for those specific services as described in the
bid form that were completed during that invoicing period.
All pay requests submitted by the Contractor must be submitted on diskette, with a hard
copy attached. The invoices shall be in a form satisfactory to the Clerk of Court who
initiates disbursements. Contractors must update their new pay requests with any
changes made on the last submittal.
For those specific services that were partially completed, progress payments shall be paid
monthly in proportion to the percentage of completed work on those specific services
approved in writing by the County’s Administrative Agent based on the percentage of the
amount for those specific services.
GP 8.5 Compensation for Altered Quantities: When the accepted quantities of work
vary from the quantities in the bid schedule, the Contractor shall accept payment at the
original contract unit prices for the accepted quantities of work done as payment in full.
No allowance except as provided in subarticle GP 3.2, 3.3, 4.3, 4.15, 4.16, 6.13, and 8.6
will be made for any increased expense, loss of expected reimbursement, or loss of
anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the Contractor as a result of alterations,
unbalanced allocation of overhead expense and subsequent loss of expected
reimbursement, or from any other cause.

GP 8.6 Eliminated Items: Should any items contained in the proposal be found
unnecessary for the proper completion of the work, the Engineer may eliminate such items
in writing without invalidating the contract.
When a Contractor is notified of the
elimination of items, the Contractor will be reimbursed for actual work done and all costs
incurred including mobilization of material prior to said notification.
GP 8.7 Partial Payments: Partial payments requests in amounts not less than $200.00
may be submitted once each month, no later than the 20th of the month or the last
working day prior to the 20th of the month, as the work progresses. Said payments will
be based upon Contractor estimates of the value of the work performed and materials
delivered in accordance with subarticle GP 3.2, 3.3, 4.3, 4.15, 4.16, 6.13, and 8.6, and will
be submitted to the Engineer. From the total of the amounts ascertained as payable, an
amount as indicated in the GP 8.7.1 Retainage Table, shown below. Retainage will be
deducted and retained by the County until completion of the entire contract in an
acceptable manner. The balance less all previous payments shall be certified for payment.
Retainage may be reduced upon issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion by
the County if, in the sole opinion of the County, sufficient progress on the schedule has
been accomplished, all notices of lien have been resolved and the County has retained
adequate coverage for the project through the achievement of final completion. The
County shall inform the Contractor’s Surety of any reduction in retainage. All retainage
will be released upon satisfactory completion of the contract. If Article VII of the
Construction Contract contains the provision that payment in a given fiscal year will not
exceed a specified amount, then the partial payments described above will be subject to
that limitation.

dimensions, the quantities shown in the plans and in the proposal form are
given as the basis of bid and also for final payment as limited by the
provisions for the individual items. For those items having variable final pay
quantities which are dependent on actual field conditions, use, and
measurement, the quantities shown in the plans and in the proposal form are
approximate and are given only as a basis of calculation upon which the
award of the contract is to be made. Where items are listed for payment as
lump sum units and the plans show estimates of component quantities, the
County’s responsibility for the accuracy of those quantities is limited to the
Standard Specifications, Section 9-3.3. Where items are listed for payment
as lump sum units and the plans do not show estimates of component
quantities, the Contractor shall be solely responsible for his own estimates of
such quantities.
The County assumes no responsibility that the final constructed quantities will equal
the estimated bidding quantities, nor shall the Contractor claim misunderstanding or
deception because of the estimate. The County may increase, decrease, or omit, as

Cooperation with Others:
The Contractor shall cooperate with the
underground or overhead utility owners for removal and rearrangement operations
so these operations may progress reasonably with no service interruptions.
9.
Photographs: The Contractor shall provide, and furnish the County with
copies of, color DVD video and dated photographs before, during, and after
construction. The DVD video and photographs must be submitted to and approved
by the Engineer prior to starting construction work and after all survey stakeout is
complete. The Contractor shall submit data sheets which indicate problem areas by
index number and brief description of condition. The detailed preconstruction audiovideo of existing conditions must be conducted of all developed/undeveloped
properties, and be approved by the Engineer within the work area prior to start of
construction at no additional cost to the County. The audio narrative should define
any notable items that may be deemed unusual or defective prior to construction
(i.e., cracked drives, defective mailboxes, dead/dying shrubbery/trees, poor drainage
conditions, decorative ornaments, fence, etc.). The video should show areas within
the rights-of-way and on private property that is parallel to construction efforts.
Road and shoulder conditions should also be noted. If filming takes place from a
moving vehicle, filming should be taken continuous for one side of the roadway
immediately followed by the opposite side of the roadway. A minimum of one stop
should be made at each driveway. The Contractor must submit a detailed report

traffic signals and road improvement work with activities of the electric power utility,
telephone utility, cable provider, and other utility franchises. The Contractor shall be
responsible for coordination with the appropriate utility companies, cable provider, or
utility franchise for utility adjustments required during the construction. No special
investigations of underground utility locations have been made to ascertain the
actual location of utilities on the work site. The Contractor shall contact gas, electric
power, water, telephone, cable, or other utility companies before beginning work to
determine the exact location and provide for the protection of all utilities that may be
within the work limits. The Contractor must take every precaution to ascertain the
location of utility installations before excavation or other operations that may
endanger personnel or damage facilities.
Attention is called to the Florida
Underground Facility Damage Prevention and Safety Act defined in Florida Statute

reset by the utility owners or otherwise directed by the County.
11.
Shop Drawings: The Contractor shall furnish shop drawings to the Engineer
as required for the prosecution of the work in the shop and in the field. Shop
drawings will include technical data where requisite to the design or its function, or
as appropriate. The purpose of shop drawing submittals is to show that the
Contractor understands the design concept by indicating equipment and material he
intends to furnish, and the fabrication and installation methods he intends to use.
Sufficiently detailed shop drawings, supplemental drawings, and technical data shall
be the means to this end. The Contractor will submit seven dated copies of shop
drawings to the Engineer for approval. If deemed satisfactory, the Engineer will
return all except three copies to the Contractor. If the Engineer does not approve
the shop drawings, he will return all except one copy to the Contractor with
appropriate markings or comments. The Contractor will resubmit the shop drawings
until approved. The Engineer will review for general conformance with the design
concept and contract/work assignment documents. The Engineer’s markings or
comments do not relieve the Contractor from compliance with the project plans and
specifications. The Contractor remains responsible for details, accuracy, confirming
quantities, correlating dimensions, selecting fabrication processes, techniques of
assembly, construction, and for performing his work safely. The Contractor will not
use the shop drawing submittal and approval procedure for deviations from the
construction drawings and specifications when they require change orders. If the
Contractor discovers conflicts between shop drawing submittals and the contract or
work assignment documents, as construction drawings and specifications or
otherwise, after submitting shop drawings for processing by the Engineer, the
Contractor shall immediately advise the Engineer; in this event, the Contractor is
responsible for resolving the situation through the contract’s provisions. The only
exception to the above provisions for deviations and conflicts is for differences
between shop drawings and construction plans/specifications deemed by the
Contractor to be minor, not conflicting with the latter, nor involving cost differences
of any kind. Then the Contractor shall include a written explanation with his
submittal, citing the specific differences and why the Engineer should approve the
submittal under these conditions. The Engineer’s decision in this situation is final.
12.
Gasoline and Diesel Fuels Payment Adjustment: The County will not
adjust contract prices to reflect increases or decreases in gasoline and diesel fuel
prices from those in effect at time of bidding.
13.
Surface Requirements:
Surface requirements specified in Standard
Specifications, Section 330-12, will be strictly enforced. The Contractor will furnish a
15-foot manual straightedge available on the job site at all times during the paving
operation for checking joints and surface irregularities. The County will reduce
payment for deficiencies.
14.
Materials:
The Contractor shall submit letters from firms supplying
bituminous hot mix listing the sources and descriptions of all materials used in the
mix and certifying that those materials meet the specifications of the project.
15.
Backfill Testing: Compaction and testing of drainage pipe backfill shall be

writing of any such potential impacts to utilities.
Engineer’s approval of the alternate TCP does not relieve the Contractor of sole
responsibility for all utility impacts, costs, delays or damages, whether direct or indirect,
resulting from Contractor initiated changes in the design or construction activities from those in
the original Contract Specifications, design plans (including traffic control plans) or other
Contract Documents and which effect a change in utility work different from that shown in the
utility plans, joint project agreements or utility relocation schedules.
The Department reserves the right to reject any Alternative Traffic Control Plan. Obtain
the Engineer’s written approval before beginning work using an alternate TCP. The Engineer’s
written approval is required for all modifications to the TCP. The Engineer will only allow
changes to the TCP in an emergency without the proper documentation.
102-5 Traffic Control.
102-5.1 Standards: FDOT Design Standards (DS) are the minimum standards for the use
in the development of all traffic control plans. The MUTCD Part VI is the minimum national
standard for traffic control for highway construction, maintenance, and utility operations. Follow
the basic principles and minimum standards contained in these documents for the design,
application, installation, maintenance, and removal of all traffic control devices, warning devices
and barriers which are necessary to protect the public and workers from hazards within the
project limits.
102-5.2 Maintenance of Roadway Surfaces: Maintain all lanes that are being used for
the maintenance of traffic, including those on detours and temporary facilities, under all weather
conditions. Keep the lanes reasonably free of dust, potholes and rutting. Provide the lanes with
the drainage facilities necessary to maintain a smooth riding surface under all weather
conditions.
102-5.3 Number of Traffic Lanes: Maintain one lane of traffic in each direction.
Maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction at existing four (or more) lane cross roads, where
necessary to avoid undue traffic congestion. Construct each lane used for maintenance of traffic
at least as wide as the traffic lanes existing in the area before commencement of construction. Do
not allow traffic control and warning devices to encroach on lanes used for maintenance of
traffic.
The Engineer may allow the Contractor to restrict traffic to one-way operation for
short periods of time provided that the Contractor employs adequate means of traffic control and
does not unreasonably delay traffic. When a construction activity requires restricting traffic to
one-way operations, locate the flaggers within view of each other when possible. When visual
contact between flaggers is not possible, equip them with 2-way radios, official, or pilot
vehicle(s), or use traffic signals.
102-5.4 Crossings and Intersections: Provide and maintain adequate accommodations
for intersecting and crossing traffic. Do not block or unduly restrict any road or street crossing
the project unless approved by the Engineer. Before beginning any construction, provide the
Engineer the names and phone numbers of persons that can be contacted when signal operation
malfunctions.

SECTION 690
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNALS AND DEVICES
690-1 Description.
Remove existing traffic control signals and devices including electrical and electronic
equipment, supporting hardware and structures, electrical wiring, conduit, and all other elements
specified and required to clear the areas of concern for new installations.
When removing existing traffic signals and devices , salvage and protect all equipment
and materials designated for removal in the Contract Documents.
690-2 Ownership.
The Department retains ownership of the equipment removed unless otherwise stated in
the Contract Documents.
690-3 General Removal Operations.
Remove and salvage all equipment, appurtenances, and materials designated on the plans
to remain the property of the Department or other owner.
Where the removals require excavation, backfill, compact, and level the excavated areas
(unless to be used as areas for other installations) so as to form a smooth contour, uniform in
density with adjacent ground areas.
Where the removal operations require the removal or disturbance of overlying pavement,
curb, grass, or sidewalk, remove such pavement and subsequently replace it in kind (or
equivalent).
Remove, handle, and transport electronic equipment to be removed with all due care.
Correct any damage to such equipment caused by negligence at no expense to the Department
regardless of whether the damage occurs before or after removal of the equipment.
When removing all electronic equipment, also remove all attaching devices and all other
devices and auxiliaries related to the electronic unit which the Department does not require to
remain in place for use with replacing equipment.
Perform all removals in such a manner as to not damage or disturb adjacent property,
utilities, or other equipment.
When replacing existing functioning installations with new installations, do not remove
the existing installations until the new installations are in place and operating or until temporary
traffic control approved by the Engineer is in place.
Notify the proper authorities or the owners of affected adjacent installations at least
24 hours in advance of any removal operations which might endanger or otherwise affect the
operations of their facilities.
When the Contract Documents indicate that owners (or others) will remove their own
poles, carefully remove and handle all equipment from such poles prior to such removal of the
poles.
690-4 Specific Removal Operations.
690-4.1 Removal of Poles: Remove direct burial, strain poles, steel strain poles, mast
arm and monotube assemblies and associated foundations as specified in the plans. Obtain the
Engineer’s approval for the removal process before beginning any removal work. These
requirements do not apply to poles used for highway lighting, unless they are jointly used to
support traffic control signals and devices, signal mast arm, or span wire assemblies.
Accomplish the removal process of each pole/foundation in such a manner as not
to result in a safety hazard to motorists or adjacent property or damage to existing utilities.
Ensure that all utilities have been located prior to removal.
When shallow pole removal is specified in the plans, ensure the remaining
pole/foundation and any protrusions, such as pole keys, dead men, guying apparatus, conduit,
anchor bolts, or reinforcing steel, are removed to a minimum depth of 4 feet below existing
grade.
When deep pole removal is specified in the plans completely remove each pole
including the foundation and all accessories or attachments, such as pole keys, dead men, guying
apparatus, conduit, anchor bolts, and reinforcing steel.
Do not remove or disturb utility poles located within the right-of-way.
690-4.2 Removal of Signal Pedestal: Remove each signal pedestal and associated
foundations as specified in the plans. Obtain the Engineer’s approval for the removal process
before beginning any removal work.
Accomplish the removal process of each pedestal/foundation in such a manner as
not to result in a safety hazard to motorists, pedestrians or adjacent property or damage to
existing utilities. Ensure that all utilities have been located prior to removal.
Completely remove each pedestal including the foundation and all accessories or
attachments, such as pole keys, conduit, anchor bolts, and reinforcing steel.
690-4.3 Removal of Controllers and Cabinets: When removing controller assemblies,
also remove the cabinet. For base mounted cabinets, completely remove the concrete base and
technician pad.
Prior to removal, conduct an inventory of the cabinet and all cabinet contents,
including identification of the model number and serial numbers of each item. Submit the
inventory list to the Engineer for retention by the Department and provide a copy of the list to the
equipment owner.
690-4.4 Removal of Signal Heads (Vehicular and Pedestrian): Remove all signal head
assemblies and attachment hardware in such a manner as to avoid unnecessary damage.
690-4.5 Removal of Detectors (Vehicular and Pedestrian): Divide the removal of
detector assemblies into the following categories:
(a) Vehicular Detector Assemblies: When the removal of vehicular detector
assemblies is specified in the Contract Documents, remove the amplifier from the controller
cabinet, the loop, and the lead-in wiring that is in the conduit and pull boxes.
When removing pressure type vehicular detector assemblies, remove the
amplifier and the detector pad and its framework from the roadway pavement. After removing
such detector assemblies, repair the roadway areas by backfilling and tamping with an approved
asphalt concrete mix or concrete pavement mix so as to restore the roadway to the satisfaction of
the Engineer.
When removing non-intrusive detectors that are not embedded in or under
pavement, remove the roadside detector assembly, cabling, mounting hardware, and detector
electronics in cabinet.
(b) Pedestrian Detector Assemblies: Include in the removal of pedestrian detector
assemblies the removal of the push button detector, sign, and all mounting hardware, including
the supporting post and foundation.
690-4.6 Removal of Mast Arms and Span Wires: Disconnect the mast arms and span
wires carefully at the pole, and salvage all usable hardware and attachment devices as
determined by the Engineer. Remove all devices supported by the mast arm or span wire
(including wiring) prior to the removal of the mast arm or span wire.
For integrally installed mast arms and mast arm poles, remove the pole and mast
arm combination as a unit after removing the devices supported by the mast arms.
690-4.7 Removal of Cabling and Conduit: After removing the conductor cable and
conduit, carefully stub, or protect with other appropriate procedures, the remaining conductor
cable and conduit at the point of removal.
If the removal of any cables and conduit requires excavation, restore disturbed
areas compatible with adjacent ground areas.
690-5 Transporting and Storing Removed Equipment.
When the Contract Documents specify special handling, deliver equipment and materials
that are not stipulated to be reused in the new installations to the location(s) designated in the
Contract. When the Contract Documents note no special handling, stockpile or dispose of the
removed materials as approved by the Engineer. The Engineer will determine ownership of
removed equipment and will approve of the removal of any salvaged equipment from the project
in advance.
Provide disposal areas, and dispose of removed concrete strain poles in such areas.
