Site work for a water / sewer project in Lisbon, Ohio. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The project includes the complete replacement of all three influent/raw pumps and six (6) 12” gate-valves located at the Elkton Wastewater Treatment Plant, Elkrun Township, Section 20 of Columbiana County, Ohio.

Disputes and claims of subcontractors and suppliers against the County but not supported by the Prime Contractor will not be reviewed by the County. Disputes and claims of subcontractors and suppliers against the Prime Contractor will not be reviewed by the County. Disputes and claims subject to review by the County include the following: 1) Interpretations of specifications, standard drawings, plans, the proposal, working drawings, change orders, and orders by the County Officials having jurisdiction over the project. 2) Differing site conditions as defined in the current ODOT C&MS 104.02 (B). 3) Cost and time incurred by: a.
