The Contractor further acknowledges that it has satisfied itself as to the character, quality and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the site, or any contiguous site, or any other information made available to it prior to receipt of Bids. Any failure by the contractor to acquaint themselves with the available information will not relieve them from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work. Tulsa County assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor on the basis of the information made available by the County. 5.9 Site Photographs The Contractor shall take photographs of all the entire property prior to any work on the site or demolition.

Laborers and mechanics performing on the site of the work of DBRA-covered contracts are entitled to receive prevailing wage rates for such work. However, as noted in Section 15d03 of the US Department of Labor's Field Operations Handbook Chapter 15: Davis Bacon and Related Acts and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act: 15d03 Demolition work in relation to construction. Demolition, standing alone, (except for demolition work under Urban Renewal projects authorized pursuant to the Housing Act of 1949, as amended) is not necessarily considered to be "construction, alteration, and/or repair of a public building or a public work" subject to the prevailing wage requirements of DBRA. For example, the demolition of a building because such structure is no longer needed would not in itself be a covered construction activity.
