Work shall include but not necessarily be limited to the construction of one (1) 320K Gallon Bolted Steel Ground Water Storage Tank with stainless steel vent, one roof hatch, two manways, fill pipe, overflow & drain structure, interior painting, exterior ladder, flanged pipe connection stub-outs, field piping, and reinforced concrete foundation. The proposed project will consist of a 47.5' diameter, 24' tall, 320K gallon capacity ground storage tank. The proposed foundation is a reinforced concrete mat with a thickened perimeter footing. Final grading plans were not provided; we anticipate minimal fill to bring the building site to its final grade. 4.1 INTENT OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS: The intent of the Construction Documents is to prescribe a complete work or improvement which the Contractor undertakes to do in full compliance with the plans, specifications, special provisions, proposal and contract. Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools, materials, machinery, equipment and incidentals necessary for the proper prosecution and completion of the work. And, unless otherwise provided, all equipment and materials to be provided on this project will be newly manufactured and not salvage or surplus, rebuilt or reconditioned. 4.2 SPECIAL PROVISIONS: Should any work or conditions which are not covered by standard or generic specifications be anticipated on any proposed work, "Special Provisions" for such work will be prepared by the Engineer previous to the time of receiving the bids, and shall be considered as a part of the specifications and contract and complied with by the Contractor. Special Provisions shall take precedence over any conflicting drawings, general provisions, standard specifications, standard details or bid pay item descriptions. 4.3 INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES OF WORK: The Owner may alter the quantities of work to be performed by either increasing or decreasing the quantities at any time when it is found necessary, and the Contractor shall perform the work as altered, increased or decreased, at the contract unit prices, if there are unit prices, or at a negotiated price derived prior to the work if there are no unit prices. When work is performed at unit prices, no payment other than the unit price will be made to cover the expense of additional work, overhead, or anticipated profits. Such changes in the quantity of work to be performed shall not be considered as waiving or invalidating any conditions or provisions of the Agreement. 4.4 ALTERATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: The Engineer reserves the right to make such changes in the plans and specifications and in the character of the work as may be necessary or desirable to insure completion in the most satisfactory manner, provided such changes do not materially alter the original plans and specifications or change the general nature of the work as a whole. Such changes shall not be considered as waiving or invalidating any condition or provision of the contract and bonds. 4.5 EXTRA WORK: When any work not defined or required by the construction documents is necessary to the proper completion of the project and for which no prices are provided for in the proposal and contract, the Contractor shall do such work, but only when and as ordered in writing by the Engineer. Payment for extra work will be made by "Supplemental Agreement" as hereinafter provided. 4.6 ERRORS OR AMBIGUITIES IN PLANS: Should the Contractor or his subcontractors discover an obvious discrepancy or ambiguity in construction documents he shall not be permitted to take advantage of such discrepancy or ambiguity but shall immediately point out such to the Engineer. He shall not proceed with anticipation of profiting later on work that is clearly shown in error. In the event of conflicting notes, statements or requirements, the Engineer shall determine which note, statement or requirement shall apply in the best interest of the Owner, the Contractor's interpretation notwithstanding. 4.7 CONDITIONS DIFFERENT THAN SHOWN: If, in the course of performing the work, the Contractor uncovers previously undisclosed obstacles or conditions differing for those shown on the plans or which a reasonably prudent contractor under similar circumstances would know or should have known, the Contractor shall stop work in the area and bring such differing conditions to the attention of the Engineer. The Engineer may order the work to proceed, may alter plans or specifications, or may otherwise adjust the work to be performed. If such changes warrant substantive price changes, the Contractor shall immediately prepare pricing documentation to be included in any Supplemental Agreement. The Contractor shall not proceed with any work where conditions are materially different than shown on the plans until authorized by the Engineer. 4.8 REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION: The Contractor shall develop his own forms and systems for submitting requests to the Engineer for additional information. Each request shall be dated, clearly cite the issue needing clarification, reference the specification, drawing or note in question, include an 'answer needed by' date and provide a place for the Engineer's response. Each request should be numbered sequentially. Once the information is provided by the Engineer, the Request for Information shall be of such force and effect as any specification, drawing or note included on the plans. The Contractor shall not submit spurious or unnecessary Requests for Information for items clearly shown in the construction documents and the Engineer may reject out of hand such Requests for Information he deems inappropriate. 4.9 FINAL CLEAN-UP: Upon completion of the work and before acceptance and final payment will be made, the Contractor shall clean and remove from the site of work all surplus and discarded materials, temporary structures, and debris of every kind. He shall leave the site of the work in a neat and orderly condition equal to that which originally existed. Surplus and waste materials removed from the site of the work shall be disposed of at locations satisfactory to the Engineer. No payment will be made for this work, its cost being subsidiary to and included in the unit prices bid. South Tawakoni W.S. C.
