duties, responsibilities and obligations assigned to or undertaken by the
Contractor shall be at his expense without change in the Contract Price or Time
except as approved in writing by the Project Manager.
12.1 Change Order
The Contract Price and/or Time may only be changed by a Change Order.
A fully executed change order for any extra work must exist before such
extra work is begun. Any claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract
Price shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to

The amount of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered (unless the

14. CITY'S OPTION
In the event satisfactory adjustment cannot be reached by the City and the
Contractor for any item requiring a change in the contract, and a change order

the contract as it applies to these items in question and make such
arrangements as the City deems necessary to complete the work. The cost of
any work covered by a change order for an increase or decrease in the contract
price shall be determined by mutual acceptance of a lump sum by the City and
Contractor. If notice of any change in the contract or contract time is required to
be given to a surety by the provisions of the bond, the giving of such notice shall
be the Contractor's responsibility, and the amount of each applicable bond shall
be adjusted accordingly. The Contractor shall furnish proof of such adjustment
to the CITY. Failure of the Contractor to obtain such approval from the Surety

15. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
Upon failure of Contractor to complete the work within the time specified for
completions, (plus approved extensions if any), Contractor shall pay City the
sum of $250.00 for each calendar day that the completion of the work is
delayed beyond the time specified in the contract for completion, as fixed and
agreed liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. Liquidated damages are
hereby fixed and agreed upon between the parties, recognizing the impossibility
of precisely ascertaining the amount of damages that will be sustained by City
as a consequence of such delay and both parties desiring to obviate any
question of dispute concerning the amount of said damages and the cost and
effect of the failure of Contractor to complete the contract on time. Regardless of
whether or not a single Contract is involved, the above -stated liquidated
damages shall apply separately to each portion of the work for which a time of
completion is given. City shall have the right to deduct from and retain out
moneys which may be due or which may become due and payable to
Contractor, the amount of such liquidated damages and if the amount retained
by City is insufficient to pay in full such liquidated damages, Contractor shall pay
in full such liquidated damages. Contractor shall be responsible for reimbursing
City, in addition to liquidated damages or other per day damages for delay, for
all costs of engineering, architectural fees, and inspection and other costs
incurred in administering the construction of the project beyond the completion
date specified or beyond an approved extension of time granted to Contractor
whichever is later.
These liquidated damages will not prohibit City from recovering ascertainable
actual damages incurred as a result of the same delay to which the liquidated
damages apply. Contractor may be liable for both liquidated damages as stated
herein, and for excess completion costs of this project. In the event Contractor
has been either terminated from or has abandoned the project prior to
completion, this liquidated damages clause is still applicable to hold Contractor
liable for the liquidated damages.

to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced
to establish the Contractor's liability with respect to the Contractor's
obligation other than specifically to correct the Work.

delays did or will, in fact, delay the progress of the work as a whole. Time
extensions shall not be allowed for delays to parts of the work that are not on
the critical path of the Construction Schedule. Time extensions shall not be
granted until all float or contingency time, resulting from the early completion
of work on the critical path, available to absorb specific delays and
associated impacts is used.
30.7 The Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or
payment or compensation of any kind from the City for direct, indirect,
consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages including but not

enforcement of its ordinances, laws, executive orders or rules of
general applicability. Nothing under this subsection shall be
deemed an Excusable Event of Delay to the extent that

negligence of the Contractor or for which an adjustment or
extension to the Project Schedule is made or provided for, or
excluded under any other term or condition of this Contract.

made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day will
be omitted from the computation. A calendar day of twenty-four (24) hours
measured from midnight to the next midnight shall constitute a day.

completed within the timeframe specified within the Delivery section of the
General Terms and Conditions, identifying the critical path to be followed by
the Contractor. The Construction Schedule shall be revised and updated for
City approval to reflect any granted time extensions. The City shall not
approve any unreasonable schedule. The Construction Schedule of Work

32. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
Upon failure of Contractor to complete the work within the time specified for
completions, (plus approved extensions if any), Contractor shall pay City the sum
of $250.00 for each calendar day that the completion of the work is delayed
beyond the time specified in the contract for completion, as fixed and agreed
liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. Liquidated damages are hereby fixed
and agreed upon between the parties, recognizing the impossibility of precisely
ascertaining the amount of damages that will be sustained by City as a
consequence of such delay and both parties desiring to obviate any question of
dispute concerning the amount of said damages and the cost and effect of the
failure of Contractor to complete the contract on time. Regardless of whether or
not a single Contract is involved, the above -stated liquidated damages shall apply
separately to each portion of the work for which a time of completion is given. City
shall have the right to deduct from and retain out moneys which may be due or
which may become due and payable to Contractor, the amount of such liquidated
damages and if the amount retained by City is insufficient to pay in full such
liquidated damages, Contractor shall pay in full such liquidated damages.

damages or other per day damages for delay, for all costs of engineering,
architectural fees, and inspection and other costs incurred in administering the
construction of the project beyond the completion date specified or beyond an
approved extension of time granted to Contractor whichever is later.
These liquidated damages will not prohibit City from recovering ascertainable
actual damages incurred as a result of the same delay to which the liquidated
damages apply. Contractor may be liable for both liquidated damages as stated
herein, and for excess completion costs of this project. In the event Contractor
has been either terminated from or has abandoned the project prior to completion,
this liquidated damages clause is still applicable to hold Contractor liable for the
liquidated damages.

and acceptance of all work associated with the project, a one year warranty
period will begin. At this time, a warranty bond in an amount not less than 25% of
the final contract amount must be submitted.
If the surety on any bond furnished by the Contractor is declared bankrupt or
becomes insolvent, or its right to do business is terminated in Florida, the
Contractor shall, within seven (7) days thereafter, substitute another bond
meeting the requirements outlined above, which roust also be acceptable to the
City.

PART 5 - INSTALLATION
5.01 GENERAL
A. Erection or Installation of Appropriate Safety and Warning Devices - Erection or installation of
appropriate safety and warning devices shall be completed prior to beginning work.
B. Subsurface Soil and Drainage Investigation - In general, the greatest influences on the
success or failure of an underground crossing are the existing subsurface soil and water
conditions. To correctly plan individual crossing procedures such as dewatering, use of
cutting heads, positioning of auger within the casing and to accurately locate potential
problem areas, subsurface investigation must be made by the contractor.
C. Dewatering - Evacuation of ground and surface water from jacking and receiving pits and
from path of proposed crossing. Where the ground water level is above the invert of the
proposed crossing dewatering is necessary to reduce the water level to below invert of the
proposed crossing, and must be designed, installed and in operation prior to beginning the
crossing as follows:
Except where rock is present throughout the length of the bore and no likelihood of
sand pockets exists.
2. Where the existing ground water level and particular soil type involved indicates that
excessive flowback of spoil material as the boring progresses is likely.

SECTION 16200
ELECTRICAL DIRECTIONAL BORE
TAMARAC ROAD RESURFACING PROGRAM
D. Equipment Set Up
Aligning and leveling of auger tracks - To properly control line and grade during the
crossing operation, it is imperative that the tracks be rigidly set to the predetermined
level and alignment requirements of the job. Control should be ensured by the use
of appropriate engineering instruments.
2. Auger and casing section lengths should not be under, or within three (3) feet of any
Roadway Pavement when the crossing operation is halted to joint new auger and
casing sections. As an exception, in areas where obstructions will not allow
continuous operations under paved areas as stipulated in this section, all
preparations for adding additional casing and augers should be made prior to
stopping under the pavement and the joint made as quickly as possible.
Crossings made by closed end jacking method or crossings made in materials other
than loose unstable soils, are not subject to the provisions of this section.
Methods of Reducing Skin Friction - Friction between the outer surface of the casing
and the surrounding soil may be reduced by increasing the diameter of the casing
hole by no more than 3/4 inch greater than outside diameter of casing itself.
4. Relationship between auger or cutting head to leading end of first casing section.
The leading end of the first casing section shall be straight cut ninety degrees to the
centerline of the casing and the distance between the back of the cutting head or
leading edge of the first bare auger section, to the leading end of the casing shall be
as follows under the appropriate soil condition.
a) Rock - On crossings made through solid rock, where the cutting head must
precede the casing, the space between the back of the cutting head and the
end of the casing shall be limited to the clearance necessary to allow the
cutting head to function without coming in contact with the end of the casing.
In areas where sand pockets may be encountered the cutting head must be
construction so that it can be retracted into the casing, to within the limits
specified in this section for the particular material encountered.
b) Hard pan, clay, hard sand -clay and stable cohesive soils - As in rock, the
cutting head should normally precede the casing but the type cutting head
used must allow no more than two (2) inches between the back of the head
and the leading end of the casing. Cutting heads with cylindrical, pointed
chippers designed for use in solid rock shall not be used.
c) Loose unstable soil - The distance between the leading end of the first auger
section and the leading end of the casing shall be as necessary to maintain
a solid plug of spoil material inside the forward portion of the casing. For
casing diameters eight (8) inches or greater, the minimum space between
the leading end of the auger, or cutting head as allowed below, and the
leading end of the casing shall be no less than one-half the casing diameter.
However, the setback shall be increased if necessary to prevent undue flow
back of the spoil material. No setback is required for casing diameters less
than eight (8) inches.
Cutting heads may be used only where the subsurface investigation report
or other reliable information indicates the likelihood of encountering a very
hard soil strata, rock or other obstructions such as tree stumps; and it is
determined prior to beginning work that the area of difficulty may be passed
by the use of an appropriate cutting head. The cutting head shall remain
inside the casing as outlined above except during the passage of such
obstructions.
10/21/2003 1 b200-S
SECTION 16200
ELECTRICAL DIRECTIONAL BORE
TAMARAC ROAD RESURFACING PROGRAM
On large diameter jacked crossings where clean out of the bore is
accomplished by special digging machine or by hand, the distance between
the leading end of the casing and the actual cleanout operation shall be no
less than that necessary to ensure that voids will not form around the
outside of the casing. The use of tunnel liners will be allowed only where
the installation method and soil conditions ensure that voids will not be
formed around the outside of the liner during installation.
5. Auger size and spacing - The leading auger section used in conjunction with a
cutting head must be full-sized having an outside diameter not less than the inside
diameter of the casing less the amount needed to provide the minimum working
clearance necessary. In no case shall the auger diameter be less than 1/2 inch
smaller than the inside casing diameter unless some other positive means of
restricting the movement of the cutting head as previously required is assured. Less
than full-sized augers that are large enough to remove spoil satisfactorily will be
allowed when the auger is not used in conjunction with a cutting head and is to
remain within the casing at all times, except as follows:

Crossings requiring dewatering are to be considered as wet in the above table.
* Full sized augers are not required if lateral movement of the cutting head has been
otherwise restricted in a satisfactory manner.
6. Length - Casings shall be of sufficient length to extend under all pavements and in
no case shall the end of the casing be closer than four (4) feet (eight (8) feet
preferably) from the pavement edge including paved shoulders, or two (2) feet from
back of curb plus additional length as necessary to extend to the excavated slopes of
the jacking and receiving pits. The ends of casings under limited access facilities
and all casings for flammable materials shall be no closer to the pavement edge
(including paved shoulders) than the toe of the front slope.
7. Couplings
a. Couplings - Couplings shall be tight, tack welded if necessary and
sufficiently rigid (no noticeably movement in joint) to prevent misalignment
during driving or pushing operation. Tack welding of couplings is only
required where necessary to ensure the integrity of the joint.
10/21/2003 16200-6
SECTION 16200
ELECTRICAL DIRECTIONAL BORE
TAMARAC ROAD RESURFACING PROGRAM
1. Coupling thickness shall be such that the overall casing diameter is
increased by no more than 3/4" total. All couplings shall be
leakproof.
8. Drilling Fluids - If drilling fluids are used to lubricate the auger and facilitate the
removal of cuttings, they shall consist of a mixture of water and gel -forming colloidal
material such as bentonite, or a polymer surfactant mixture producing a slurry of
custard -like consistency.
Plain water may be used if appropriate under the conditions outlined in this exhibit.
9. Shoring and Bracing Materials - Materials used for sheeting, sheet piling, cribbing,
bracing, shoring and underpinning shall be in good serviceable condition and timbers
shall be sound, free from large or loose knots and of proper dimensions, as required
by OSHA regulations.
10. Crossing Operation - The actual crossing operation shall be accomplished during
daylight hours and shall not begin after the hour pre -established as the latest starting
time that will allow completion' during daylight hours.
11. Equipment Breakdowns or Other Unforeseen Stoppages
If forward motion of the casing is halted at any time other than for reasons planned
for in advance (addition of casing and auger sections, etc.) and prevention of voids
under paved areas cannot be assured, the casing must be filled with concrete by
pressure grouting as soon as possible and abandoned. If removal of the augers
from a casing to be abandoned will allow voids to form under paved areas at the
casing head, the augers must be abandoned also.
When an obstruction is encountered that cannot be passed or an existing utility is
damaged, cutting of the pavement for inspection will be approved by the local
Maintenance Engineer or his representative, when consideration of all pertinent facts
indicate that such action wouldoffer the most practical solution to the problem for all
parties concerned. Any such authorized pavement opening shall be repaired
according to the appropriate specifications in the Utility Accommodation Guide.
