This month, the following policies were reviewed and no changes are recommended on these policies at this time: i. Section 2 of Exempt Handbook ii. Section 2 of Non -Exempt Handbook BOARD ACTION REQUESTED: None Fiscal Impact: Included in current budget: Budget Change: PROJECT SECTION: Total Project Cost: Remaining Cost: EXEMPT SECTION 2 — ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL POLICIES The Commission approves personnel policies intending uniform administration of personnel matters of the Utilities. The Commission may supplement, amend and/or rescind the policies to assure that they will remain practical, useful and current. In approving personnel policies, the Commission has made every effort to be as reasonable and practical as possible. Final responsibility for the enforcement of the policies shall rest with the Commission. The Commission however, has delegated to the General Manager the responsibility and authority for the enforcement of all personnel policies. The General Manager, in turn, delegates certain responsibilities and authority to the Staff as deemed advisable in order to carry out the personnel policies. The General Manager, however, remains accountable to the Commission. If the Commission has not clearly delegated its authority in a certain manner, the Commission retains authority to determine the appropriate action. These personnel policies govern all Utilities employees and apply to all cases except where a policy contained herein conflicts with a Union Contract, or other employment contract, or past practice, in which case the Union Contract, or other employment contract, or past practice shall govern. SAVINGS CLAUSE If any provision of this Handbook is declared by proper legislative, administrative or judicial authority to be unlawful, unenforceable or not in accordance with applicable Civil Service rules, or law, all other provisions of this Handbook shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of this Handbook. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY HUC is committed to providing equal opportunity in all areas of employment, including, but not limited to recruitment, hiring, demotion, promotion, transfer, selection, lay-off, disciplinary action, termination, compensation and selection for training. In accordance with Minnesota State Statute 363A, HUC will not discriminate against any employee or job applicant on the basis of race (including traits associated with race, including, but not limited to, hair texture and hair styles such as braids, locs and twists), color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, disability, age, marital status, genetic information, status with regard to public assistance, veteran status, familial status, or membership on a local human rights commission. LAYOFFS HUC retains its right to eliminate positions within the organization if the Commission deems it appropriate to do so. If a layoff occurs, HUC will provide four weeks' notice to affected employees. Layoffs will be based on skill, knowledge, utility needs and also employee's seniority. VOLUNTARY LEAVE OF ABSENCE HUC may request employees to voluntarily take a leave of absence without pay for a specified period of time. EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES No applicant or employee shall receive preferential consideration because of his/her relationship to an HUC employee, a Commission member, a Hutchinson City Council member or other City employees and officials. Any HUC employee who extends such preferential treatment is subject to discipline. No member of a department head's immediate family shall be a direct report to the department head. No member of the General Manager's immediate family shall be a direct report to the General Manager. A former Commission member may not be hired as an employee of HUC for two years after the end of the Commissioner's term in office. MEMBERSHIP/DUES/CONVENTIONS Employees are encouraged to join and participate in professional and technical associations, which are expected to enhance job performance. HUC will pay the association dues if membership relates directly to an employee's job with HUC. The appropriate Staff Personnel must approve payment of membership dues. The General Manager must approve attendance at association meetings, conferences, and/or conventions. HUC will pay the attendance fee for pre -approved meetings and expenses incurred. DATA PRACTICES ADVISORY Employee records are maintained by Administrative/HR Coordinator. Personnel data is retained in personnel files, finance files, and benefit/medical files. Information is used to administer employee salary and benefit programs, process payroll, complete state and federal reports, document employee performance, etc. Employees have the right to know what data is retained, where it is kept, and how it is used.

COMPLAINT/GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE It is the Commission's policy to provide an equitable process which employees may use to advance complaints and grievances. An employee may grieve any alleged violation of a written or verbal policy or procedure, disciplinary action other than an oral reprimand, or unsafe practice. Prior to initiating a grievance, an employee must discuss the complaint with the immediate Supervisor. If the complaint cannot be resolved informally through such discussion with the Di����cc�ofManager or Supervisor, the employee may choose to file a written grievance. The grievance must be filed with the Administrative/HR Coordinator within ten (10) working days after the incident -giving rise to the grievance. The Administrative/HR Coordinator shall attempt to resolve the grievance and shall provide the employee a written response no later than five (5) working days following receipt of the grievance. If the employee is dissatisfied with the Administrative/HR Coordinator's response, the employee may file the grievance with the General Manager within five (5) days of the Administrative/HR Coordinator's response. The General Manager shall attempt to resolve the complaint or grievance and shall provide the employee a written response not later than five (5) days following the receipt of the complaint. If dissatisfied with the General Manager's response, the employee may request a hearing on the grievance before the Hutchinson Utilities Commission. The Hutchinson Utilities Commission may choose to appoint an independent hearing officer to hear the grievance. An employee presenting a complaint or grievance shall not be subject to retaliation or reprisal. DISCIPLINE In general, HUC employees shall be subject to disciplinary action for failing to fulfill their duties and responsibilities, including observance of work rules approved by the Commission. It is the policy of the Commission to administer discipline fairly, without discrimination, and for just cause. The employee may use the grievance procedure with respect to any disciplinary action believed to be unjust or disproportionate to the alleged offense. The General Manager;....i::.�Fee.�Of or Manager shall investigate any allegation on which disciplinary action might be based before disciplinary action is taken. The Commission supports the concept of progressive discipline but expressly reserves the right to impose various levels of discipline depending on the nature of the offense. Staff Personnel may impose oral and written reprimands. Only the General Manager may impose a suspension without pay, letter in lieu of suspension, demotion, or discharge. Notices of oral reprimand, written reprimand, suspension without pay, demotion, or discharge will be documented in written form and will state the reason(s) for the action taken. The employee shall be provided with a copy of each such notice and a copy shall be retained in the employee's personnel file. The following are examples of disciplinary action but do not constitute an exclusive list of possibilities and may be taken in any order or not used at all. These examples and their descriptions are not intended to create a contract or obligation on management's part. A Oral reprimand. An oral notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct and expected corrective action. B Written reprimand. A written notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct. A written reprimand should describe in detail the behavior to be corrected, describe past actions taken by the supervisor to correct the problem, give direction and orders for the future including timetables and goals for improvement when appropriate, and specify consequences of repeating the inappropriate behavior. The employee will be given a copy of the reprimand and sign the original acknowledging receipt of the reprimand. The signature of the employee does not signify agreement with the reprimand. The reprimand will be placed in the employee's personnel file. C Prior to the suspension or as soon after as possible, the employee will be notified in writing of the reason for the suspension and its length. There are two forms of suspension: suspension as discipline and suspension pending investigation. An employee receiving a suspension as discipline may not be paid, may not accrue vacation, holiday or sick leave benefits during the suspension, and may not use paid time while suspended. An employee suspended pending investigation of allegations will have a copy of each written statement placed in the personnel file and will be paid during the investigation. If the allegations prove false, the statement will be removed. An employee placed on investigatory suspension should be notified as quickly as reasonably possible of the action taken regarding employment. D Demotion. Placement of an employee in a lower level position. E Discharge. The General Manager may discharge any employee, but if the employee has completed the probationary period, a dismissal will be made only for just cause. A dismissed employee will be notified by the previous posting of a summary of Minnesota Statute Sections 181.931 to 181.935 or by furnishing the terminated employee a copy of those statutes at termination that the employee has a right to make a written request for HUC reason for termination. If requested, HUC will provide reasons, in writing, within five working days. This notice will also contain a statement indicating that the employee may respond to the charges both orally and in writing and may appear personally before the official having authority to make or recommend the final decision. An adequate reason or "just cause" for a disciplinary action will include, but not be limited to, evidence of any of the following: A Incompetence or inefficiency in the performance of duties.

This limitation is not intended to prohibit the acceptance of articles of negligible value, which are distributed generally, or to prohibit employees from accepting social courtesies, which promote good public relations. This prohibition is intended to prevent or discourage relationships, which may be construed as evidence of favoritism, coercion, unfair advantage, or collusion. Employees may accept food and refreshments in such instances as a luncheon, dinner meeting, or inspection tour in conjunction with HUC business. F Conviction of a crime, which affects or relates to the performance of assigned duties. G Using, threatening or attempting to use, political influence or unethical pressure to influence a decision on a promotion, transfer, leave of absence, increased compensation, other benefit, or any other matter in which the employee has an interest.

Even without an actual threat, personnel should also report any behavior they have witnessed which they regard as threatening or violent, when that behavior is job related or might be carried out on a public site, or is connected to municipal employment. Employees are responsible for making this report regardless of the relationship between the aggressor and the individual to whom the threat or threatening behavior was directed.

Employees should record specific incidents, behaviors or conversations that may indicate a potential for violence. Documentation should be forwarded to their Manager/Dk:ee�oF. In instances where their supervisor is the source of potential violence, documentation should be forwarded to the next level of management with a copy to Human Resources. Supervisors must carefully review and assess information provided by employees or other sources. Appropriate precautions should be taken based on the specific situation. For example: If a problem situation or location is identified, it should be communicated to other employees who are likely to become involved in the situation or come in contact with the location. Individuals applying for a restraining order must provide their supervisor and Human Resources with a copy of the petition used to seek the order, and a copy of any temporary and permanent protective restraining order which is subsequently granted. Human Resources will monitor and evaluate the violence reports on an ongoing basis and will submit program reports to the General Manager when requested. OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR/SEXUAL HARASSMENT It is HUC's policy to maintain a work environment free from offensive behavior and sexual harassment. Offensive behavior may include such actions as: rudeness, angry outbursts, inappropriate humor, vulgar obscenities, name calling, disrespectful language, or any other behavior regarded as offensive to a reasonable person. A violation of this policy is subject to discipline up to and including discharge. One specific kind of illegal behavior is sexual harassment. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical conduct or other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when: 1. submission to that conduct or communication is made a term or condition of obtaining employment; or 2. submission to or rejection of that conduct or communication by an individual is used as a factor in a decision affecting that individual's employment; or 3. that conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's employment or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment environment. Examples of conduct that violate this policy include, but are not limited to: • Repeated offensive sexual flirtations, unwelcome advances, propositions or invitations; or • Unwelcome repeated comments, jokes, displays, or suggestions of a sexual nature; or • Objectionable physical contact, including touching • In summary, sexual harassment is the unwanted, unwelcome and repeated action of an individual against another individual, using sexual overtones as a means of creating stress. Any employee who feels he/she is being subjected to offensive or discriminatory behavior of any kind or employees who are aware of such behavior is/are encouraged to express their objection to the behavior and should also immediately report the behavior to their immediate Supervisor, Department Manager „ the Ada d tit a nifl v c/I W. Coord�ti,it or I hii it ltl Wesellfees [)�fcefiof, or the General Manager. In addition, the employee may also file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and the EEOC. A person must file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights within one year of the incident and file a complaint with the EEOC within 300 days of the incident. Staff Personnel who receives an offensive behavior or discrimination complaint shall inform the General Manager and Human Resources of the complaint as soon as possible. The General Manager must ensure an appropriate and prompt investigation of the complaint. If the investigation substantiates the complaint, HUC will take appropriate corrective action. Strict confidentiality is not possible in all cases of sexual harassment as the accused has the right to answer charges made against them; particularly if discipline is a possible outcome. Reasonable efforts will be made to respect the confidentiality of the individuals involved, to the extent possible. Any employee who makes a false complaint or provides false information during an investigation may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Retaliation against any person who files a complaint or participates in an investigation is expressly prohibited. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal or harassment. Any individual who retaliates against a person who testifies, assists, or participates in an investigation may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. FLOWERS In the event of the death of a full-time or part-time employee or employee's immediate family, flowers/plant will be sent at HUC expense without delay to the appropriate funeral home. Information needed: Funeral Home Address Date to Send Flowers Similar consideration may be given, at the discretion of the General Manager; ......i::..��rre�e.������rr�M.or Managers, for retirees, consultants, Commission members or others who provide significant service to HUC. PETTY CASH Petry cash funds are kept with the Accountant. The petty cash fund will be used to reimburse payment up to $50.00. Any expenditure over $50.00 will be reimbursed by check. Itemized receipts must be attached to a complete( petty cash slip whenever possible. An employee may obtain an advance of petty cash by completing a petty cash slip and reconciling the advance with the actual amount as soon as possible. NON-EXEMPT HIRING It is the Commission's policy to hire qualified applicants through internal employee promotion and external recruitment if appropriate. The General Manager has the authority to hire all employees and must approve all hiring recommendations, Final interviews for the General Manager position will be conducted by the Commissioner Board with the assistance of the Administrative/HR Coordinator. Final interviews for DiFee�oF Mitiiger positions will be conducted by the General Manager, Pf:es de � of flie and Administrative/HR Coordinator. PROBATIONARY PERIOD UPON HIRING A newly hired non-exempt employee shall serve a six (6) month probationary period during which the employee shall have the opportunity to demonstrate abilities and work performance. During this qualifying period, the i::.� fee.�(:).F.� Manager or Supervisor should discuss with the employee, the employee's progress in becoming fully acquainted with the job and co-workers. The General Manager can terminate a probationary employee's employment without notice and without cause at any time during the probationary period. The General Manager may choose to extend an employee's probation period up to a maximum of three months. New full-time employees are required to sign the acknowledgement in Appendix B when they begin employment. TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES Temporary employees are required to sign the acknowledgement in Appendix C when they begin employment. The General Manager must approve employment of a temporary worker for longer than 14 consecutive weeks. The responsible D�i..Fee.�(�*......(:).F Manager must inform the General Manager of the desire to employ a temporary worker longer than 14 weeks. PROMOTIONS AND TRANSFERS HUC encourages individual advancement by providing opportunities for promotion and transfer as positions become available. Job vacancies shall be posted ten (10) working days. Employees desiring to be considered for the position must provide a letter of interest to the appropriate staff person by the deadline stated on the posting. All promoted and transferred employees shall serve a six (6) month trial period during which time the promoted or transferred employee may be placed back in the employee's previous job classification if a position is available and at the sole discretion of the Employer, without loss of seniority. We encourage employees to discuss their career plans and goals with their i::.k:ee.�(:*....of: Manager. DISCIPLINE In general, HUC employees shall be subject to disciplinary action for failing to fulfill their duties and responsibilities, including observance of work rules approved by the Commission. It is the policy of the Commission to administer discipline fairly, without discrimination, and for just cause. The employee may use the grievance procedure with respect to any disciplinary action believed to be unjust or disproportionate to the alleged offense. The General Manager;....i::.�Fee.�Of or Manager shall investigate any allegation on which disciplinary action might be based before disciplinary action is taken. The Commission supports the concept of progressive discipline but expressly reserves the right to impose various levels of discipline depending on the nature of the offense. Staff Personnel may impose oral and written reprimands, and may send an employee home for the remainder of a shift without pay. Only the General Manager may impose a suspension without pay, letter in lieu of suspension, demotion, or discharge. Notices of oral reprimand, written reprimand, suspension without pay, demotion, or discharge will be documented in written form and will state the reason(s) for the action taken. The employee shall be provided with a copy of each such notice and a copy shall be retained in the employee's personnel file. The following are examples of disciplinary action but do not constitute an exclusive list of possibilities and may be taken in any order or not used at all. These examples and their descriptions are not intended to create a contract or obligation on management's part. A Oral reprimand. An oral notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct and expected corrective action. B Written reprimand. A written notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct. A written reprimand should describe in detail the behavior to be corrected, describe past actions taken by the supervisor to correct the problem, give direction and orders for the future including timetables and goals for improvement when appropriate, and specify consequences of repeating the inappropriate behavior. The employee will be given a copy of the reprimand and sign the original acknowledging receipt of the reprimand. The signature of the employee does not signify agreement with the reprimand. The reprimand will be placed in the employee's personnel file. C Prior to the suspension or as soon after as possible, the employee will be notified in writing of the reason for the suspension and its length. There are two forms of suspension: suspension as discipline and suspension pending investigation. An employee receiving a suspension as discipline may not be paid, may not accrue vacation, holiday or sick leave benefits during the suspension, and may not use paid time while suspended. An employee suspended pending investigation of allegations will have a copy of each written statement placed in the personnel file and will be paid during the investigation. If the allegations prove false, the statement will be removed. An employee placed on investigatory suspension should be notified as quickly as reasonably possible of the action taken regarding employment. D Demotion. Placement of an employee in a lower level position. E Discharge. The General Manager may discharge any employee, but if the employee has completed the probationary period, a dismissal will be made only for just cause. A dismissed employee will be notified by the previous posting of a summary of Minnesota Statute Sections 181.931 to 181.935 or by furnishing the terminated employee a copy of those statutes at termination that the employee has a right to make a written request for HUC reason for termination. If requested, HUC will provide reasons, in writing, within five working days. This notice will also contain a statement indicating that the employee may respond to the charges both orally and in writing and may appear personally before the official having authority to make or recommend the final decision. An adequate reason or "just cause" for a disciplinary action will include, but not be limited to, evidence of any of the following: A Incompetence or inefficiency in the performance of duties. B Negligence or carelessness in the performance of duty, such as in the handling or control of municipal property, equipment, or funds and failure to observe safety rules and regulations. C Offensive or inappropriate conduct or language toward Utilities employees or other persons. D Failure to obey any lawful and reasonable direction given by an employee's supervisor or the appointing authority. E Acceptance of a fee, gift, or other valuable item or benefit in the course of, or as a result of, the employee's work. This limitation is not intended to prohibit the acceptance of articles of negligible value, which are distributed generally, or to prohibit employees from accepting social courtesies, which promote good public relations. This prohibition is intended to prevent or discourage relationships, which may be construed as evidence of favoritism, coercion, unfair advantage, or collusion. Employees may accept food and refreshments in such instances as a luncheon, dinner meeting, or inspection tour in conjunction with HUC business. F Conviction of a crime, which affects or relates to the performance of assigned duties. G Using, threatening or attempting to use, political influence or unethical pressure to influence a decision on a promotion, transfer, leave of absence, increased compensation, other benefit, or any other matter in which the employee has an interest. Unethical pressure includes offers of gifts or other special benefits, coercion, collusion, threats of blackmail, requests for favoritism, and use of unfair advantage. H Absence from work without prior approval in accordance with this policy. I During assigned work schedules, (1) consuming or being under the influence of alcoholic beverages, (2) having the odor of an alcoholic beverage on the breath, or (3) consuming or being under the influence of a controlled substance, other than one prescribed by a physician, which does not impair the ability to perform assigned duties. J Tardiness or abuse of sick leave privileges. K Theft of public property, pilferage, or other unauthorized use or taking of property. L Sexual harassment. M Discrimination against or harassment of any HUC employee at any time, or any other person during work hours, based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, veterans status, disability, or age. N Performance of personal or other non-HUC work related matters during work hours. O Violation of the HUC's equal employment plan. P Engaging in a conflict of interest or performing public duties in a situation where the employee has a conflict of interest. Q Violations of the provisions of this Handbook and/or policies. R Horseplay, loafing or sleeping on the job. S Proven dishonesty in the performance of duties. T Acts or threats of physical violence directed toward HUC employees. U Unauthorized use or release of confidential, sensitive or privileged information. V As a supervisor, knowingly permitting another employee to violate this policy or other work rules. W Acting or failing to act in a manner not otherwise specified that tends to lower discipline or morale among HUC employees, brings or tends to bring discredit to the HUC, its employees, or that adversely affects the prompt, courteous and efficient provisions of public services. Freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment shall not be a basis for discipline. X Unauthorized possession or use of firearms or hazardous materials on HUC time or property. Y Refusal, during working hours, to submit to a Breathalyzer or other drug test required by law. CONFLICT OF INTEREST Employees must notify their i::.� fee.�ofrr....of: Manager of any direct or indirect financial interest they have in any contract with HUC, any interest they have in a contractor supplying HUC, or any such interest they may have with any entity competing with HUC, and all such notifications shall be forwarded to the General Manager. Any employee with such a financial interest may not work on any HUC project or make any decision concerning an HUC project involving the employee's outside financial interest, unless the interest has been disclosed, and deemed acceptable by HUC management. OTHER EMPLOYMENT An employee's position at RUC must take precedence over any other job an employee holds. Employees must inform their D FeetoF of Manager of any work they perform for profit outside of HUC's position to ensure there is no conflict of interest between the HUC job and the outside employment. All such notifications shall be forwarded to the General Manager. Also, employees are expected to be mentally alert and physically able to perform their Utility jobs. Employees may not work on their outside employment while on duty with HUC nor may any HUC property or equipment be used to conduct such business at any time. LICENSE REQUIREMENTS FOR UTILITY VEHICLE OPERATION Prior to hire date as an WC employee, the candidate's driving record is evaluated and must be approved. This is a condition of employment if operation of a vehicle is an essential part of an employee's job. An employee whose job requires operating a motor vehicle must possess a valid Minnesota Driver's License with necessary endorsements in order to conduct WC business. If an employee's driver's license is suspended, revoked, or cancelled during employment with WC, the employee must immediately inform the employee's D FeetoF Manager or Supervisor who must inform the General Manager. The General Manager shall take appropriate action up to and including discharge. VIOLENCE IN THE WORKPLACE HUC strives to ensure a healthy and productive working environment. In that regard, safety and security are of the utmost importance. HUC will enforce zero tolerance for any acts of physical assault or threats of bodily harm in the performance of work duties, wherever those duties are performed. Policy on Violence HUC views aggressive and/or violent behavior as disruptive and contrary to the development and maintenance of a safe, productive and supportive work environment. Such behavior is not tolerated. Employees who exhibit such behavior will be held accountable under the policy and work rules, as well as local, state, and federal law. All threats and acts of aggression or violent behavior should be taken seriously and addressed immediately. Such threats or acts include, but are not limited to: • Harming or threatening to harm any employee or visitor; • Damaging or threatening to damage property or the property of any employee or visitor; • Unlawfully possessing a firearm, ammunition, weapon or incendiary device on HUC property, vehicles, construction sites or while attending HUC business -related activities off site; • Engaging in stalking behavior of any employee. Accountability All personnel are responsible for notifying their immediate supervisor, or in the absence of their supervisor, another member of the management staff of any threats that they have witnessed, received, or have been told that another person has witnessed or received. Even without an actual threat, personnel should also report any behavior they have witnessed which they regard as threatening or violent, when that behavior is job related or might be carried out on a public site, or is connected to municipal employment. Employees are responsible for making this report regardless of the relationship between the aggressor and the individual to whom the threat or threatening behavior was directed. Directive Any person who makes substantial threats, exhibits threatening behavior, or engages in violent acts against employees, visitors, guests, or other individuals while on HUC property shall be removed from the premises as quickly as safety permits and shall remain off HUC premises pending the outcome of an investigation. Law enforcement should be utilized to remove individuals who are perceived as a threat. HUC will initiate an appropriate response which may include, but is not limited to, suspension and/or termination of any business relationship, reassignment of job duties, suspension or termination of employment and/or criminal prosecution of the person or persons involved. Employees and supervisors should work together to identify and report situations or locations where there is a potential for physical assault or threat of bodily harm. Employees should record specific incidents, behaviors or conversations that may indicate a potential for violence. Documentation should be forwarded to their Manager/[)�Fee�oF. In instances where their supervisor is the source of potential violence, documentation should be forwarded to the next level of management with a copy to Human Resources. Supervisors must carefully review and assess information provided by employees or other sources. Appropriate precautions should be taken based on the specific situation. For example: If a problem situation or location is identified, it should be communicated to other employees who are likely to become involved in the situation or come in contact with the location. Individuals applying for a restraining order must provide their supervisor and Human Resources with a copy of the petition used to seek the order, and a copy of any temporary and permanent protective restraining order which is subsequently granted.

You agree that Shermco is not responsible or liable to you or anyone else for the consequences, financial, legal or otherwise, of your disclosure, use, misuse or modification ofthe Instruments of Service.

No other terms, conditions, warranties, or understandings whether express or implied, form a part of this Agreement. No amendment or waiver of the Agreement is binding unless agreed to in writing by both parties, a waiver of one provision does not operate to waive any other provision and no waivers of a provision ofthe Agreement shall act as a subsequent waiver of the same provision. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are valid and binding. Shermco may, at any time, at its sole option, assign this Agreement wholly or in part. Termination and Survival Either party may terminate this Agreement upon material breach of this Agreement by the other party upon five (5) days' written notice to the breaching party or for convenience upon giving the other party not less than fifteen (15) calendar days' written notice and, in the event of termination of this Agreement by either party, you shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of Shermco's final invoice, pay Shermco for all Charges up to and including the date of termination.

MM HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION ^I'xP61Tti'°" Board Action Form Agenda Item: Approve Req 010031 Modifications to Side Stream Filter Plant 1 Installation Presenter: Mike Gabrielson Agenda Item Type: Time Requested (Minutes): 5 New Business Attachments: Yes BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM: This is a Change order to the 2024 CAPX Side Stream Filter and Pump Replacement project at Plant 1. Because HUC didn't receive the side stream filter pot until January 2025 the final installation of the entire system to ensure the new configuration would work properly wasn't known until recently. The final configuration still creates issues not ideal to the operational efficiency of the plant. This change order is to fix how the side stream filter pot is tied into the system. The reconfiguration will enhance and ensure a more constant head PSI on the system to ensure it works as designed. The original approved 2024 cap ex budget for this project was $100,000. The initial scope of work completed was $118,360 for the purchase and installation of the two tower pumps along with the purchase and installation of the side stream filter pot. This Change order is for $25,600 bringing the entire project cost to $143,960. Although this change order was not budgeted for in 2025 it is critical to the functionality of the plant. 2025 Cap Ex projects will need to be adjusted accordingly to accommodate this unplanned expense.

Such prices will include an appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work. 2.04 Preconstruction Conference; Designation of Authorized Representatives A. Before any Work at the Site is started, a conference attended by Owner, Contractor, Engineer, and others as appropriate will be held to establish a working understanding among the parties as to the Work and to discuss the schedules referred to in Paragraph 2.03.A, procedures for handling Shop Drawings, Samples, and other submittals, processing Applications for Payment, electronic or digital transmittals, and maintaining required records. B. At this conference Owner and Contractor each shall designate, in writing, a specific individual to act as its authorized representative with respect to the services and responsibilities under the Contract. Such individuals shall have the authority to transmit and receive information, render decisions relative to the Contract, and otherwise act on behalf of each respective party. 2.05 Initial Acceptance of Schedules A. At least 10 days before submission of the first Application for Payment a conference, attended by Contractor, Engineer, and others as appropriate, will be held to review for acceptability to Engineer as provided below the schedules submitted in accordance with Paragraph 2.03.A. Contractor shall have an additional 10 days to make corrections and adjustments and to complete and resubmit the schedules. No progress payment shall be made to Contractor until acceptable schedules are submitted to Engineer. 1. The Progress Schedule will be acceptable to Engineer if it provides an orderly progression of the Work to completion within the Contract Times. Such acceptance will not impose on Engineer responsibility for the Progress Schedule, for sequencing, scheduling, or progress of the Work, nor interfere with or relieve Contractor from Contractor's full responsibility therefor. 2. Contractor's Schedule of Submittals will be acceptable to Engineer if it provides a workable arrangement for reviewing and processing the required submittals. 3. Contractor's Schedule of Values will be acceptable to Engineer as to form and substance if it provides a reasonable allocation of the Contract Price to the component parts of the Work. 2.06 Electronic Transmittals A. Except as otherwise stated elsewhere in the Contract, the Owner, Engineer, and Contractor may transmit, and shall accept, Project -related correspondence, text, data, documents, drawings, information, and graphics, including but not limited to Shop Drawings and other submittals, in electronic media or digital format, either directly, or through access to a secure Project website. B. If the Contract does not establish protocols for electronic or digital transmittals, then Owner, Engineer, and Contractor shall jointly develop such protocols. C.

All materials and equipment shall be stored, applied, installed, connected, erected, protected, used, cleaned, and conditioned in accordance with instructions of the applicable Supplier, except as otherwise may be provided in the Contract Documents. 7.04 "Or Equals" A. Whenever an item of material or equipment is specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the Contract Price has been based upon Contractor furnishing such item as specified. The specification or description of such an item is intended to establish the type, function, appearance, and quality required. Unless the specification or description contains or is followed by words reading that no like, equivalent, or "or equal" item is permitted, Contractor may request that Engineer authorize the use of other items of material or equipment, or items from other proposed suppliers under the circumstances described below. 1. If Engineer in its sole discretion determines that an item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will be required, Engineer shall deem it an "or equal" item. For the purposes of this paragraph, a proposed item of material or equipment will be considered functionally equal to an item so named if: a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment Engineer determines that: 1) it is at least equal in materials of construction, quality, durability, appearance, strength, and design characteristics; 2) it will reliably perform at least equally well the function and achieve the results imposed by the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole; 3) it has a proven record of performance and availability of responsive service; and 4) it is not objectionable to Owner. b.

Effect of Engineer's Determination: Neither approval nor denial of an "or -equal" request shall result in any change in Contract Price. The Engineer's denial of an "or -equal" request shall be final and binding, and may not be reversed through an appeal under any provision of the Contract Documents. E. Treatment as a Substitution Request: If Engineer determines that an item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an "or -equal" item, Contractor may request that Engineer considered the proposed item as a substitute pursuant to Paragraph 7.05. 7.05 Substitutes A. Unless the specification or description of an item of material or equipment required to be furnished under the Contract Documents contains or is followed by words reading that no substitution is permitted, Contractor may request that Engineer authorize the use of other items of material or equipment under the circumstances described below. To the extent possible such requests shall be made before commencement of related construction at the Site. 1. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as provided below to allow Engineer to determine if the item of material or equipment proposed is functionally equivalent to that named and an acceptable substitute therefor. Engineer will not accept requests for review of proposed substitute items of material or equipment from anyone other than Contractor. 2.

B. Engineer's Evaluation and Determination: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to evaluate each substitute request, and to obtain comments and direction from Owner. Engineer may require Contractor to furnish additional data about the proposed substitute item. Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No substitute will be ordered, furnished, installed, or utilized until Engineer's review is complete and Engineer determines that the proposed item is an acceptable substitute. Engineer's determination will be evidenced by a Field Order or a proposed Change Order accounting for the substitution itself and all related impacts, including changes in Contract Price or Contract Times. Engineer will advise Contractor in writing of any negative determination. C. Special Guarantee: Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. D.

E. Contractor's Expense: Contractor shall provide all data in support of any proposed substitute at Contractor's expense. F. Effect of Engineer's Determination: If Engineer approves the substitution request, Contractor shall execute the proposed Change Order and proceed with the substitution. The Engineer's denial of a substitution request shall be final and binding, and may not be reversed through an appeal under any provision of the Contract Documents. Contractor may challenge the scope of reimbursement costs imposed under Paragraph 7.05.D, by timely submittal of a Change Proposal. 7.06 Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers, and Others A. Contractor may retain Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of parts of the Work. Such Subcontractors and Suppliers must be acceptable to Owner. B. Contractor shall retain specific Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or entities for the performance of designated parts of the Work if required by the Contract to do so. C. Subsequent to the submittal of Contractor's Bid or final negotiation of the terms of the Contract, Owner may not require Contractor to retain any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity to furnish or perform any of the Work against which Contractor has reasonable objection.

Prior to entry into any binding subcontract or purchase order, Contractor shall submit to Owner the identity of the proposed Subcontractor or Supplier (unless Owner has already deemed such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier acceptable, during the bidding process or otherwise). Such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed acceptable to Owner unless Owner raises a substantive, reasonable objection within five days. E. Owner may require the replacement of any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity retained by Contractor to perform any part of the Work. Owner also may require Contractor to retain specific replacements; provided, however, that Owner may not require a replacement to which Contractor has a reasonable objection. If Contractor has submitted the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or entities for acceptance by Owner, and Owner has accepted it (either in writing or by failing to make written objection thereto), then Owner may subsequently revoke the acceptance of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity so identified solely on the basis of substantive, reasonable objection after due investigation. Contractor shall submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity. F. If Owner requires the replacement of any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity retained by Contractor to perform any part of the Work, then Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times, or both, with respect to the replacement; and Contractor shall initiate a Change Proposal for such adjustment within 30 days of Owner's requirement of replacement. G. No acceptance by Owner of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, whether initially or as a replacement, shall constitute a waiver of the right of Owner to the completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. H. On a monthly basis Contractor shall submit to Engineer a complete list of all Subcontractors and Suppliers having a direct contract with Contractor, and of all other Subcontractors and Suppliers known to Contractor at the time of submittal. I.

M. All Work performed for Contractor by a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be pursuant to an appropriate contractual agreement that specifically binds the Subcontractor or Supplier to the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of Owner and Engineer.

Owner may furnish to any Subcontractor or Supplier, to the extent practicable, information about amounts paid to Contractor on account of Work performed for Contractor by the particular Subcontractor or Supplier. O. Nothing in the Contract Documents: 1. shall create for the benefit of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity any contractual relationship between Owner or Engineer and any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity; nor 2. shall create any obligation on the part of Owner or Engineer to pay or to see to the payment of any money due any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity except as may otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations. 7.07 Patent Fees and Royalties A. Contractor shall pay all license fees and royalties and assume all costs incident to the use in the performance of the Work or the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product, or device which is the subject of patent rights or copyrights held by others.

Engineer will not supervise, direct, control, or have authority over or be responsible for Contractor's means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to the performance of the Work. Engineer will not be responsible for Contractor's failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. C. Engineer will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of Contractor or of any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or of any other individual or entity performing any of the Work. D. Engineer's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation and all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, and other documentation required to be delivered by Paragraph 15.06.A will only be to determine generally that their content complies with the requirements of, and in the case of certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals, that the results certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents. E. The limitations upon authority and responsibility set forth in this Paragraph 10.08 shall also apply to the Resident Project Representative, if any. 10.09 Compliance with Safety Program A. While at the Site, Engineer's employees and representatives will comply with the specific applicable requirements of Owner's and Contractor's safety programs (if any) of which Engineer has been informed. ARTICLE 11— AMENDING THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS; CHANGES IN THE WORK 11.01 Amending and Supplementing Contract Documents A. The Contract Documents may be amended or supplemented by a Change Order, a Work Change Directive, or a Field Order. 1. Change Orders: a. If an amendment or supplement to the Contract Documents includes a change in the Contract Price or the Contract Times, such amendment or supplement must be set forth in a Change Order. A Change Order also may be used to establish amendments and supplements of the Contract Documents that do not affect the Contract Price or Contract Times. b. Owner and Contractor may amend those terms and conditions of the Contract Documents that do not involve (1) the performance or acceptability of the Work, (2) the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), or (3) other engineering or technical matters, without the recommendation of the Engineer. Such an amendment shall be set forth in a Change Order. 2. Work Change Directives: A Work Change Directive will not change the Contract Price or the Contract Times but is evidence that the parties expect that the modification ordered or documented by a Work Change Directive will be incorporated in a subsequently issued Change Order, following negotiations by the parties as to the Work Change Directive's effect, if any, on the Contract Price and Contract Times; or, if negotiations are unsuccessful, by a determination under the terms of the Contract Documents governing adjustments, expressly including Paragraph 11.04 regarding change of Contract Price. Contractor must submit any Change Proposal seeking an adjustment of the Contract Price or the Contract Times, or both, no later than 30 days after the E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 43 of 65 completion of the Work set out in the Work Change Directive. Owner must submit any Claim seeking an adjustment of the Contract Price or the Contract Times, or both, no later than 60 days after issuance of the Work Change Directive. 3. Field Orders: Engineer may authorize minor changes in the Work if the changes do not involve an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Times and are compatible with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Documents. Such changes will be accomplished by a Field Order and will be binding on Owner and also on Contractor, which shall perform the Work involved promptly. If Contractor believes that a Field Order justifies an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or both, then before proceeding with the Work at issue, Contractor shall submit a Change Proposal as provided herein. 11.02 Owner -Authorized Changes in the Work A. Without invalidating the Contract and without notice to any surety, Owner may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work. Such changes shall be supported by Engineer's recommendation, to the extent the change involves the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), or other engineering or technical matters. Such changes may be accomplished by a Change Order, if Owner and Contractor have agreed as to the effect, if any, of the changes on Contract Times or Contract Price; or by a Work Change Directive. Upon receipt of any such document, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the Work involved; or, in the case of a deletion in the Work, promptly cease construction activities with respect to such deleted Work. Added or revised Work shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. Nothing in this paragraph shall obligate Contractor to undertake work that Contractor reasonably concludes cannot be performed in a manner consistent with Contractor's safety obligations under the Contract Documents or Laws and Regulations. 11.03 Unauthorized Changes in the Work A. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times with respect to any work performed that is not required by the Contract Documents, as amended, modified, or supplemented, except in the case of an emergency as provided in Paragraph 7.15 or in the case of uncovering Work as provided in Paragraph 14.05. 11.04 Change of Contract Price A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order. Any Change Proposal for an adjustment in the Contract Price shall comply with the provisions of Paragraph 11.06. Any Claim for an adjustment of Contract Price shall comply with the provisions of Article 12. B. An adjustment in the Contract Price will be determined as follows: 1. where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, then by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13.03); or 2. where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, then by a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with Paragraph 11.04.C.2); or 3. where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and the parties do not reach mutual agreement to a lump sum, then on the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 13.01) plus a Contractor's fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.04.C).

Contractor's Fee: When applicable, the Contractor's fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows: 1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or 2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the Cost of the Work: a. for costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.13.1 and 13.01.13.2, the Contractor's fee shall be 15 percent; b. for costs incurred under Paragraph 13.01.13.3, the Contractor's fee shall be five percent; c. where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraphs 11.01.C.2.a and 11.01.C.2.b is that the Contractor's fee shall be based on: (1) a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.A.1 and 13.01.A.2 by the Subcontractor that actually performs the Work, at whatever tier, and (2) with respect to Contractor itself and to any Subcontractors of a tier higher than that of the Subcontractor that actually performs the Work, a fee of five percent of the amount (fee plus underlying costs incurred) attributable to the next lower tier Subcontractor; provided, however, that for any such subcontracted work the maximum total fee to be paid by Owner shall be no greater than 27 percent of the costs incurred by the Subcontractor that actually performs the work; d. no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 13.01.13.4, 13.01.13.5, and 13.01.C; e. the amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to Owner for any change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a deduction in Contractor's fee by an amount equal to five percent of such net decrease; and f. when both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the adjustment in Contractor's fee shall be computed on the basis of the net change in accordance with Paragraphs 11.04.C.2.a through 11.04.C.2.e, inclusive. 11.05 Change of Contract Times A. The Contract Times may only be changed by a Change Order. Any Change Proposal for an adjustment in the Contract Times shall comply with the provisions of Paragraph 11.06. Any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Times shall comply with the provisions of Article 12. B. An adjustment of the Contract Times shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 4.05, concerning delays in Contractor's progress. 11.06 Change Proposals A. Contractor shall submit a Change Proposal to Engineer to request an adjustment in the Contract Times or Contract Price; appeal an initial decision by Engineer concerning the requirements of the Contract Documents or relating to the acceptability of the Work under the Contract Documents; contest a set-off against payment due; or seek other relief under the Contract. The Change Proposal shall specify any proposed change in Contract Times or Contract Price, or both, or other proposed relief, and explain the reason for the proposed change, with citations to any governing or applicable provisions of the Contract Documents.

Procedures: Contractor shall submit each Change Proposal to Engineer promptly (but in no event later than 30 days) after the start of the event giving rise thereto, or after such initial decision. The Contractor shall submit supporting data, including the proposed change in Contract Price or Contract Time (if any), to the Engineer and Owner within 15 days after the submittal of the Change Proposal. The supporting data shall be accompanied by a written statement that the supporting data are accurate and complete, and that any requested time or price adjustment is the entire adjustment to which Contractor believes it is entitled as a result of said event. Engineer will advise Owner regarding the Change Proposal, and consider any comments or response from Owner regarding the Change Proposal. 2. Engineer's Action: Engineer will review each Change Proposal and, within 30 days after receipt of the Contractor's supporting data, either deny the Change Proposal in whole, approve it in whole, or deny it in part and approve it in part. Such actions shall be in writing, with a copy provided to Owner and Contractor. If Engineer does not take action on the Change Proposal within 30 days, then either Owner or Contractor may at any time thereafter submit a letter to the other party indicating that as a result of Engineer's inaction the Change Proposal is deemed denied, thereby commencing the time for appeal of the denial under Article 12. 3. Binding Decision: Engineer's decision will be final and binding upon Owner and Contractor, unless Owner or Contractor appeals the decision by filing a Claim under Article 12. B. Resolution of Certain Change Proposals: If the Change Proposal does not involve the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), the acceptability of the Work, or other engineering or technical matters, then Engineer will notify the parties that the Engineer is unable to resolve the Change Proposal. For purposes of further resolution of such a Change Proposal, such notice shall be deemed a denial, and Contractor may choose to seek resolution under the terms of Article 12. 11.07 Execution of Change Orders A. Owner and Contractor shall execute appropriate Change Orders covering: 1. changes in the Contract Price or Contract Times which are agreed to by the parties, including any undisputed sum or amount of time for Work actually performed in accordance with a Work Change Directive; 2. changes in Contract Price resulting from an Owner set-off, unless Contractor has duly contested such set-off, 3. changes in the Work which are: (a) ordered by Owner pursuant to Paragraph 11.02, (b) required because of Owner's acceptance of defective Work under Paragraph 14.04 or Owner's correction of defective Work under Paragraph 14.07, or (c) agreed to by the parties, subject to the need for Engineer's recommendation if the change in the Work involves the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), or other engineering or technical matters; and 4. changes in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or other changes, which embody the substance of any final and binding results under Paragraph 11.06, or Article 12.

If Owner or Contractor refuses to execute a Change Order that is required to be executed under the terms of this Paragraph 11.07, it shall be deemed to be of full force and effect, as if fully executed. 11.08 Notification to Surety A. If the provisions of any bond require notice to be given to a surety of any change affecting the general scope of the Work or the provisions of the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price or Contract Times), the giving of any such notice will be Contractor's responsibility. The amount of each applicable bond will be adjusted to reflect the effect of any such change. ARTICLE 12 — CLAIMS 12.01 Claims A. Claims Process: The following disputes between Owner and Contractor shall be submitted to the Claims process set forth in this Article: 1. Appeals by Owner or Contractor of Engineer's decisions regarding Change Proposals; 2. Owner demands for adjustments in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or other relief under the Contract Documents; and 3. Disputes that Engineer has been unable to address because they do not involve the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), the acceptability of the Work, or other engineering or technical matters. B. Submittal of Claim: The party submitting a Claim shall deliver it directly to the other party to the Contract promptly (but in no event later than 30 days) after the start of the event giving rise thereto; in the case of appeals regarding Change Proposals within 30 days of the decision under appeal. The party submitting the Claim shall also furnish a copy to the Engineer, for its information only. The responsibility to substantiate a Claim shall rest with the party making the Claim. In the case of a Claim by Contractor seeking an increase in the Contract Times or Contract Price, or both, Contractor shall certify that the Claim is made in good faith, that the supporting data are accurate and complete, and that to the best of Contractor's knowledge and belief the amount of time or money requested accurately reflects the full amount to which Contractor is entitled. C. Review and Resolution: The party receiving a Claim shall review it thoroughly, giving full consideration to its merits. The two parties shall seek to resolve the Claim through the exchange of information and direct negotiations. The parties may extend the time for resolving the Claim by mutual agreement. All actions taken on a Claim shall be stated in writing and submitted to the other party, with a copy to Engineer. D. Mediation: 1. At any time after initiation of a Claim, Owner and Contractor may mutually agree to mediation of the underlying dispute. The agreement to mediate shall stay the Claim submittal and response process. 2. If Owner and Contractor agree to mediation, then after 60 days from such agreement, either Owner or Contractor may unilaterally terminate the mediation process, and the Claim submittal and decision process shall resume as of the date of the termination. If the mediation proceeds but is unsuccessful in resolving the dispute, the Claim submittal E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 47 of 65 and decision process shall resume as of the date of the conclusion of the mediation, as determined by the mediator. 3. Owner and Contractor shall each pay one-half of the mediator's fees and costs. E. Partial Approval: If the party receiving a Claim approves the Claim in part and denies it in part, such action shall be final and binding unless within 30 days of such action the other party invokes the procedure set forth in Article 17 for final resolution of disputes. Denial of Claim: If efforts to resolve a Claim are not successful, the party receiving the Claim may deny it by giving written notice of denial to the other party. If the receiving party does not take action on the Claim within 90 days, then either Owner or Contractor may at any time thereafter submit a letter to the other party indicating that as a result of the inaction, the Claim is deemed denied, thereby commencing the time for appeal of the denial. A denial of the Claim shall be final and binding unless within 30 days of the denial the other party invokes the procedure set forth in Article 17 for the final resolution of disputes. G. Final and Binding Results: If the parties reach a mutual agreement regarding a Claim, whether through approval of the Claim, direct negotiations, mediation, or otherwise; or if a Claim is approved in part and denied in part, or denied in full, and such actions become final and binding; then the results of the agreement or action on the Claim shall be incorporated in a Change Order to the extent they affect the Contract, including the Work, the Contract Times, or the Contract Price. ARTICLE 13 — COST OF THE WORK; ALLOWANCES; UNIT PRICE WORK 13.01 Cost of the Work A. Purposes for Determination of Cost of the Work: The term Cost of the Work means the sum of all costs necessary for the proper performance of the Work at issue, as further defined below. The provisions of this Paragraph 13.01 are used for two distinct purposes: 1. To determine Cost of the Work when Cost of the Work is a component of the Contract Price, under cost -plus -fee, time -and -materials, or other cost -based terms; or 2. To determine the value of a Change Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price. When the value of any such adjustment is determined on the basis of Cost of the Work, Contractor is entitled only to those additional or incremental costs required because of the change in the Work or because of the event giving rise to the adjustment. B. Costs Included: Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by Owner, costs included in the Cost of the Work shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, shall not include any of the costs itemized in Paragraph 13.01.C, and shall include only the following items: 1. Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of Contractor in the performance of the Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by Owner and Contractor. Such employees shall include, without limitation, superintendents, foremen, and other personnel employed full time on the Work. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on the Work shall be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the Work. Payroll costs shall include, but not be limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits, which shall include social security contributions, unemployment, excise, and payroll taxes, workers' compensation, health and retirement benefits, bonuses, sick leave, and vacation and holiday pay applicable thereto.

Page 48 of 65 Work outside of regular working hours, on Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays, shall be included in the above to the extent authorized by Owner. 2. Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including costs of transportation and storage thereof, and Suppliers' field services required in connection therewith. All cash discounts shall accrue to Contractor unless Owner deposits funds with Contractor with which to make payments, in which case the cash discounts shall accrue to Owner. All trade discounts, rebates, and refunds and returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue to Owner, and Contractor shall make provisions so that they may be obtained. 3. Payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors for Work performed by Subcontractors. If required by Owner, Contractor shall obtain competitive bids from subcontractors acceptable to Owner and Contractor and shall deliver such bids to Owner, who will then determine, with the advice of Engineer, which bids, if any, will be acceptable. If any subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work and fee shall be determined in the same manner as Contractor's Cost of the Work and fee as provided in this Paragraph 13.01. 4. Costs of special consultants (including but not limited to engineers, architects, testing laboratories, surveyors, attorneys, and accountants) employed for services specifically related to the Work. 5. Supplemental costs including the following: a. The proportion of necessary transportation, travel, and subsistence expenses of Contractor's employees incurred in discharge of duties connected with the Work. b. Cost, including transportation and maintenance, of all materials, supplies, equipment, machinery, appliances, office, and temporary facilities at the Site, and hand tools not owned by the workers, which are consumed in the performance of the Work, and cost, less market value, of such items used but not consumed which remain the property of Contractor. C. Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery, and the parts thereof, whether rented from Contractor or others in accordance with rental agreements approved by Owner with the advice of Engineer, and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, assembly, dismantling, and removal thereof. All such costs shall be in accordance with the terms of said rental agreements. The rental of any such equipment, machinery, or parts shall cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the Work. d. Sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes related to the Work, and for which Contractor is liable, as imposed by Laws and Regulations. e. Deposits lost for causes other than negligence of Contractor, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, and royalty payments and fees for permits and licenses. f. Losses and damages (and related expenses) caused by damage to the Work, not compensated by insurance or otherwise, sustained by Contractor in connection with the performance of the Work (except losses and damages within the deductible amounts of property insurance established in accordance with Paragraph 6.05), provided such losses and damages have resulted from causes E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 49 of 65 other than the negligence of Contractor, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable. Such losses shall include settlements made with the written consent and approval of Owner. No such losses, damages, and expenses shall be included in the Cost of the Work for the purpose of determining Contractor's fee. g. The cost of utilities, fuel, and sanitary facilities at the Site. h. Minor expenses such as communication service at the Site, express and courier services, and similar petty cash items in connection with the Work. i. The costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance that Contractor is required by the Contract Documents to purchase and maintain. C. Costs Excluded: The term Cost of the Work shall not include any of the following items: 1. Payroll costs and other compensation of Contractor's officers, executives, principals (of partnerships and sole proprietorships), general managers, safety managers, engineers, architects, estimators, attorneys, auditors, accountants, purchasing and contracting agents, expediters, timekeepers, clerks, and other personnel employed by Contractor, whether at the Site or in Contractor's principal or branch office for general administration of the Work and not specifically included in the agreed upon schedule of job classifications referred to in Paragraph 13.01.13.1 or specifically covered by Paragraph 13.01.13.4. The payroll costs and other compensation excluded here are to be considered administrative costs covered by the Contractor's fee. 2. Expenses of Contractor's principal and branch offices other than Contractor's office at the Site. 3. Any part of Contractor's capital expenses, including interest on Contractor's capital employed for the Work and charges against Contractor for delinquent payments. 4. Costs due to the negligence of Contractor, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, including but not limited to, the correction of defective Work, disposal of materials or equipment wrongly supplied, and making good any damage to property. 5. Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the costs of any item not specifically and expressly included in Paragraph 13.01.13. D. Contractor's Fee: When the Work as a whole is performed on the basis of cost-plus, Contractor's fee shall be determined as set forth in the Agreement. When the value of any Work covered by a Change Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price is determined on the basis of Cost of the Work, Contractor's fee shall be determined as set forth in Paragraph 11.04.C. E. Documentation: Whenever the Cost of the Work for any purpose is to be determined pursuant to this Article 13, Contractor will establish and maintain records thereof in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and submit in a form acceptable to Engineer an itemized cost breakdown together with supporting data. 13.02 Allowances A. It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be performed for such sums and by such persons or entities as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer. E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 50 of 65 B. Cash Allowances: Contractor agrees that: 1. the cash allowances include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and 2. Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the Site, labor, installation, overhead, profit, and other expenses contemplated for the cash allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the allowances, and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the foregoing will be valid. C. Contingency Allowance: Contractor agrees that a contingency allowance, if any, is for the sole use of Owner to cover unanticipated costs. D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by Engineer to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly adjusted. 13.03 Unit Price Work A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Payments to Contractor for Unit Price Work will be based on actual quantities. C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to cover Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. D. Engineer will determine the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor. Engineer will review with Contractor the Engineer's preliminary determinations on such matters before rendering a written decision thereon (by recommendation of an Application for Payment or otherwise). Engineer's written decision thereon will be final and binding (except as modified by Engineer to reflect changed factual conditions or more accurate data) upon Owner and Contractor, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph. E. Within 30 days of Engineer's written decision under the preceding paragraph, Contractor may submit a Change Proposal, or Owner may file a Claim, seeking an adjustment in the Contract Price if: 1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement; 2. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and 3. Contractor believes that it is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or Owner believes that Owner is entitled to a decrease in Contract Price, and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase or decrease.

Page 51 of 65 ARTICLE 14 — TESTS AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK 14.01 Access to Work A. Owner, Engineer, their consultants and other representatives and personnel of Owner, independent testing laboratories, and authorities having jurisdiction will have access to the Site and the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspection, and testing. Contractor shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and advise them of Contractor's safety procedures and programs so that they may comply therewith as applicable. 14.02 Tests, Inspections, and Approvals A. Contractor shall give Engineer timely notice of readiness of the Work (or specific parts thereof) for all required inspections and tests, and shall cooperate with inspection and testing personnel to facilitate required inspections and tests. B. Owner shall retain and pay for the services of an independent inspector, testing laboratory, or other qualified individual or entity to perform all inspections and tests expressly required by the Contract Documents to be furnished and paid for by Owner, except that costs incurred in connection with tests or inspections of covered Work shall be governed by the provisions of Paragraph 14.05. C. If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) specifically to be inspected, tested, or approved by an employee or other representative of such public body, Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests, or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish Engineer the required certificates of inspection or approval. D. Contractor shall be responsible for arranging, obtaining, and paying for all inspections and tests required: 1. by the Contract Documents, unless the Contract Documents expressly allocate responsibility for a specific inspection or test to Owner; 2. to attain Owner's and Engineer's acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work; 3. by manufacturers of equipment furnished under the Contract Documents; 4. for testing, adjusting, and balancing of mechanical, electrical, and other equipment to be incorporated into the Work; and 5. for acceptance of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to Contractor's purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work. Such inspections and tests shall be performed by independent inspectors, testing laboratories, or other qualified individuals or entities acceptable to Owner and Engineer. E. If the Contract Documents require the Work (or part thereof) to be approved by Owner, Engineer, or another designated individual or entity, then Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such approvals. F. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered by Contractor without written concurrence of Engineer, Contractor shall, if requested by Engineer, uncover such Work for observation. Such uncovering shall be at Contractor's expense unless Contractor had given Engineer timely notice of Contractor's intention to E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

Page 52 of 65 cover the same and Engineer had not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice. 14.03 Defective Work A. Contractor's Obligation: It is Contractor's obligation to assure that the Work is not defective. B. Engineer's Authority: Engineer has the authority to determine whether Work is defective, and to reject defective Work. C. Notice of Defects: Prompt notice of all defective Work of which Owner or Engineer has actual knowledge will be given to Contractor. D. Correction, or Removal and Replacement: Promptly after receipt of written notice of defective Work, Contractor shall correct all such defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if Engineer has rejected the defective Work, remove it from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective. E. Preservation of Warranties: When correcting defective Work, Contractor shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair Owner's special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said Work. F. Costs and Damages: In addition to its correction, removal, and replacement obligations with respect to defective Work, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to defective Work, including but not limited to the cost of the inspection, testing, correction, removal, replacement, or reconstruction of such defective Work, fines levied against Owner by governmental authorities because the Work is defective, and the costs of repair or replacement of work of others resulting from defective Work. Prior to final payment, if Owner and Contractor are unable to agree as to the measure of such claims, costs, losses, and damages resulting from defective Work, then Owner may impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15. 14.04 Acceptance of Defective Work A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner prefers to accept it, Owner may do so (subject, if such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, to Engineer's confirmation that such acceptance is in general accord with the design intent and applicable engineering principles, and will not endanger public safety). Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages attributable to Owner's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as to reasonableness), and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work shall be incorporated in a Change Order. If the parties are unable to agree as to the decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work so accepted, then Owner may impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after final payment, Contractor shall pay an appropriate amount to Owner. 14.05 Uncovering Work A. Engineer has the authority to require special inspection or testing of the Work, whether or not the Work is fabricated, installed, or completed. E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 53 of 65 B. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of Engineer, then Contractor shall, if requested by Engineer, uncover such Work for Engineer's observation, and then replace the covering, all at Contractor's expense. C. If Engineer considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by Engineer or inspected or tested by others, then Contractor, at Engineer's request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or testing as Engineer may require, that portion of the Work in question, and provide all necessary labor, material, and equipment. 1. If it is found that the uncovered Work is defective, Contractor shall be responsible for all claims, costs, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and pending Contractor's full discharge of this responsibility the Owner shall be entitled to impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15. 2. If the uncovered Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement, and reconstruction. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, then Contractor may submit a Change Proposal within 30 days of the determination that the Work is not defective. 14.06 Owner May Stop the Work A. If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, or fails to perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents, then Owner may order Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or entity, or any surety for, or employee or agent of any of them. 14.07 Owner May Correct Defective Work A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Engineer to correct defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by Engineer, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, then Owner may, after seven days written notice to Contractor, correct or remedy any such deficiency. B. In exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07, Owner shall proceed expeditiously. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, Owner may exclude Contractor from all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend Contractor's services related thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner's representatives, agents and employees, Owner's other contractors, and Engineer and Engineer's consultants access to the Site to enable Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred or sustained by Owner in exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07 will be charged against Contractor as set -offs against payments due under Article 15. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

Page 54 of 65 but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of Contractor's defective Work. D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by Owner of Owner's rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07. ARTICLE 15 — PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR; SET -OFFS; COMPLETION; CORRECTION PERIOD 15.01 Progress Payments A. Basis for Progress Payments: The Schedule of Values established as provided in Article 2 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Payment acceptable to Engineer. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed during the pay period, as determined under the provisions of Paragraph 13.03. Progress payments for cost -based Work will be based on Cost of the Work completed by Contractor during the pay period. B. Applications for Payments: 1. At least 20 days before the date established in the Agreement for each progress payment (but not more often than once a month), Contractor shall submit to Engineer for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting that Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens, and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance, a warehouse bond, or other arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to Owner. 2. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit of Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the Work have been applied on account to discharge Contractor's legitimate obligations associated with prior Applications for Payment. 3. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. C. Review of Applications: 1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of each Application for Payment, including each resubmittal, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the Application to Owner, or return the Application to Contractor indicating in writing Engineer's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. 2. Engineer's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer's observations of the executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional, and on Engineer's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of Engineer's knowledge, information and belief: E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 55 of 65 a. the Work has progressed to the point indicated; b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under Paragraph 13.03, and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation); and c. the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to such payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe the Work. 3. By recommending any such payment Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in the Contract; or b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle Owner to withhold payment to Contractor. 4. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor Engineer's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose responsibility on Engineer: a. to supervise, direct, or control the Work, or b. for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or c. for Contractor's failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's performance of the Work, or d. to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the money paid on account of the Contract Price, or e. to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens. 5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer's opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner stated in Paragraph 15.01.C.2. 6. Engineer will recommend reductions in payment (set -offs) necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from loss because: a. the Work is defective, requiring correction or replacement; b. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders; C. Owner has been required to correct defective Work in accordance with Paragraph 14.07, or has accepted defective Work pursuant to Paragraph 14.04; d. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental Condition for which Contractor is responsible; or E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 56 of 65 e. Engineer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events that would constitute a default by Contractor and therefore justify termination for cause under the Contract Documents. D. Payment Becomes Due: 1. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment to Owner with Engineer's recommendation, the amount recommended (subject to any Owner set -offs) will become due, and when due will be paid by Owner to Contractor. E. Reductions in Payment by Owner: 1. In addition to any reductions in payment (set -offs) recommended by Engineer, Owner is entitled to impose a set-off against payment based on any of the following: a. claims have been made against Owner on account of Contractor's conduct in the performance or furnishing of the Work, or Owner has incurred costs, losses, or damages on account of Contractor's conduct in the performance or furnishing of the Work, including but not limited to claims, costs, losses, or damages from workplace injuries, adjacent property damage, non-compliance with Laws and Regulations, and patent infringement; b. Contractor has failed to take reasonable and customary measures to avoid damage, delay, disruption, and interference with other work at or adjacent to the Site; c. Contractor has failed to provide and maintain required bonds or insurance; d. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental Condition for which Contractor is responsible; e. Owner has incurred extra charges or engineering costs related to submittal reviews, evaluations of proposed substitutes, tests and inspections, or return visits to manufacturing or assembly facilities; f. the Work is defective, requiring correction or replacement; g. Owner has been required to correct defective Work in accordance with Paragraph 14.07, or has accepted defective Work pursuant to Paragraph 14.04; h. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders; i. an event that would constitute a default by Contractor and therefore justify a termination for cause has occurred; j. liquidated damages have accrued as a result of Contractor's failure to achieve Milestones, Substantial Completion, or final completion of the Work; k. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has delivered a specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens; I. there are other items entitling Owner to a set off against the amount recommended. 2. If Owner imposes any set-off against payment, whether based on its own knowledge or on the written recommendations of Engineer, Owner will give Contractor immediate written notice (with a copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and the specific amount of the reduction, and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 57 of 65 amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, if Contractor remedies the reasons for such action. The reduction imposed shall be binding on Contractor unless it duly submits a Change Proposal contesting the reduction. 3. Upon a subsequent determination that Owner's refusal of payment was not justified, the amount wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an amount due as determined by Paragraph 15.01.C.1 and subject to interest as provided in the Agreement. 15.02 Contractor's Warranty of Title A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment furnished under the Contract will pass to Owner free and clear of (1) all Liens and other title defects, and (2) all patent, licensing, copyright, or royalty obligations, no later than seven days after the time of payment by Owner. 15.03 Substantial Completion A. When Contractor considers the entire Work ready for its intended use Contractor shall notify Owner and Engineer in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete and request that Engineer issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Contractor shall at the same time submit to Owner and Engineer an initial draft of punch list items to be completed or corrected before final payment. B. Promptly after Contractor's notification, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If Engineer does not consider the Work substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor. C. If Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will deliver to Owner a preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. Engineer shall attach to the certificate a punch list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. Owner shall have seven days after receipt of the preliminary certificate during which to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions of the certificate or attached punch list. If, after considering the objections to the provisions of the preliminary certificate, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, Engineer will, within 14 days after submission of the preliminary certificate to Owner, notify Contractor in writing that the Work is not substantially complete, stating the reasons therefor. If Owner does not object to the provisions of the certificate, or if despite consideration of Owner's objections Engineer concludes that the Work is substantially complete, then Engineer will, within said 14 days, execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a final certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised punch list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the preliminary certificate as Engineer believes justified after consideration of any objections from Owner. D. At the time of receipt of the preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion, Owner and Contractor will confer regarding Owner's use or occupancy of the Work following Substantial Completion, review the builder's risk insurance policy with respect to the end of the builder's risk coverage, and confirm the transition to coverage of the Work under a permanent property insurance policy held by Owner. Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise in writing, Owner shall bear responsibility for security, operation, protection of the Work, property insurance, maintenance, heat, and utilities upon Owner's use or occupancy of the Work. E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 58 of 65 E. After Substantial Completion the Contractor shall promptly begin work on the punch list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. In appropriate cases Contractor may submit monthly Applications for Payment for completed punch list items, following the progress payment procedures set forth above. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable access to remove its property and complete or correct items on the punch list. 15.04 Partial Use or Occupancy A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially completed part of the Work which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or which Owner, Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by Owner for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor's performance of the remainder of the Work, subject to the following conditions: 1. At any time Owner may request in writing that Contractor permit Owner to use or occupy any such part of the Work that Owner believes to be substantially complete. If and when Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, Contractor, Owner, and Engineer will follow the procedures of Paragraph 15.03.A through E for that part of the Work. 2. At any time Contractor may notify Owner and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such part of the Work substantially complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. 3. Within a reasonable time after either such request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If Engineer does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor. If Engineer considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of Paragraph 15.03 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. 4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work may occur prior to compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 6.05 regarding builder's risk or other property insurance. 15.05 Final Inspection A. Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with Owner and Contractor and will notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work, or agreed portion thereof, is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies. 15.06 Final Payment A. Application for Payment: 1. After Contractor has, in the opinion of Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance, certificates of inspection, annotated record E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 59 of 65 documents (as provided in Paragraph 7.11), and other documents, Contractor may make application for final payment. 2. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: a. all documentation called for in the Contract Documents; b. consent of the surety, if any, to final payment; c. satisfactory evidence that all title issues have been resolved such that title to all Work, materials, and equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens or other title defects, or will so pass upon final payment. d. a list of all disputes that Contractor believes are unsettled; and e. complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien rights arising out of the Work, and of Liens filed in connection with the Work. 3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens specified in Paragraph 15.06.A.2 and as approved by Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor that: (a) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material, and equipment for which a Lien could be filed; and (b) all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner might in any way be responsible, or which might in any way result in liens or other burdens on Owner's property, have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any Lien, or Owner at its option may issue joint checks payable to Contractor and specified Subcontractors and Suppliers. B. Engineer's Review of Application and Acceptance: 1. If, on the basis of Engineer's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and Engineer's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work has been completed and Contractor's other obligations under the Contract have been fulfilled, Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing Engineer's recommendation of final payment and present the Application for Payment to Owner for payment. Such recommendation shall account for any set -offs against payment that are necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from loss for the reasons stated above with respect to progress payments. At the same time Engineer will also give written notice to Owner and Contractor that the Work is acceptable, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 15.07. Otherwise, Engineer will return the Application for Payment to Contractor, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case Contractor shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for Payment. C. Completion of Work: The Work is complete (subject to surviving obligations) when it is ready for final payment as established by the Engineer's written recommendation of final payment. D. Payment Becomes Due: Thirty days after the presentation to Owner of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation, the amount recommended by Engineer (less any further sum Owner is entitled to set off against Engineer's recommendation, including but not limited to set -offs for liquidated damages and set -offs allowed under the provisions E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 60 of 65 above with respect to progress payments) will become due and shall be paid by Owner to Contractor. 15.07 Waiver of Claims A. The making of final payment will not constitute a waiver by Owner of claims or rights against Contractor. Owner expressly reserves claims and rights arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after final inspection pursuant to Paragraph 15.05, from Contractor's failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees specified therein, from outstanding Claims by Owner, or from Contractor's continuing obligations under the Contract Documents. B. The acceptance of final payment by Contractor will constitute a waiver by Contractor of all claims and rights against Owner other than those pending matters that have been duly submitted or appealed under the provisions of Article 17. 15.08 Correction Period A. If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion (or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents, or by any specific provision of the Contract Documents), any Work is found to be defective, or if the repair of any damages to the Site, adjacent areas that Contractor has arranged to use through construction easements or otherwise, and other adjacent areas used by Contractor as permitted by Laws and Regulations, is found to be defective, then Contractor shall promptly, without cost to Owner and in accordance with Owner's written instructions: 1. correct the defective repairs to the Site or such other adjacent areas; 2. correct such defective Work; 3. if the defective Work has been rejected by Owner, remove it from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective, and 4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the work of others, or to other land or areas resulting therefrom. B. If Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of Owner's written instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the defective Work corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work removed and replaced. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others). C. In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service before Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run from an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications. D. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or removed and replaced under this paragraph, the correction period hereunder with respect to such Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or removal and replacement has been satisfactorily completed. E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 61 of 65 E. Contractor's obligations under this paragraph are in addition to all other obligations and warranties. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as a substitute for, or a waiver of, the provisions of any applicable statute of limitation or repose. ARTICLE 16 — SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION 16.01 Owner May Suspend Work A. At any time and without cause, Owner may suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than 90 consecutive days by written notice to Contractor and Engineer. Such notice will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to any such suspension. Any Change Proposal seeking such adjustments shall be submitted no later than 30 days after the date fixed for resumption of Work. 16.02 Owner May Terminate for Cause A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will constitute a default by Contractor and justify termination for cause: 1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the Progress Schedule); 2. Failure of Contractor to perform or otherwise to comply with a material term of the Contract Documents; 3. Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction; or 4. Contractor's repeated disregard of the authority of Owner or Engineer. B. If one or more of the events identified in Paragraph 16.02.A occurs, then after giving Contractor (and any surety) ten days written notice that Owner is considering a declaration that Contractor is in default and termination of the contract, Owner may proceed to: 1. declare Contractor to be in default, and give Contractor (and any surety) notice that the Contract is terminated; and 2. enforce the rights available to Owner under any applicable performance bond. C. Subject to the terms and operation of any applicable performance bond, if Owner has terminated the Contract for cause, Owner may exclude Contractor from the Site, take possession of the Work, incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and complete the Work as Owner may deem expedient. D. Owner may not proceed with termination of the Contract under Paragraph 16.02.13 if Contractor within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate begins to correct its failure to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure. E. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph 16.02.13, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is completed. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the cost to complete the Work, including all related claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals) sustained by Owner, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If the cost to complete the Work including such related claims, costs, losses, and E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. Copyright © 2013 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 62 of 65 damages exceeds such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed by Engineer as to their reasonableness and, when so approved by Engineer, incorporated in a Change Order. When exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph, Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. F. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by Owner, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue, or any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor or any surety under any payment bond or performance bond. Any retention or payment of money due Contractor by Owner will not release Contractor from liability. G. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of Paragraph 6.01.A, the provisions of that bond shall govern over any inconsistent provisions of Paragraphs 16.02.13 and 16.02.D. 16.03 Owner May Terminate For Convenience A. Upon seven days written notice to Contractor and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner, terminate the Contract. In such case, Contractor shall be paid for (without duplication of any items): 1. completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work; 2. expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and furnishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such expenses; and 3. other reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination, including costs incurred to prepare a termination for convenience cost proposal. B. Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated overhead, profits, or revenue, or other economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination. 16.04 Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate A. If, through no act or fault of Contractor, (1) the Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days by Owner or under an order of court or other public authority, or (2) Engineer fails to act on any Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or (3) Owner fails for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, then Contractor may, upon seven days written notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided Owner or Engineer do not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the contract and recover from Owner payment on the same terms as provided in Paragraph 16.03. B. In lieu of terminating the Contract and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if Engineer has failed to act on an Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or Owner has failed for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, Contractor may, seven days after written notice to Owner and Engineer, stop the Work until payment is made of all such amounts due Contractor, including interest thereon. The provisions of this paragraph are not intended to preclude Contractor from submitting a Change Proposal for an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for E1CDC® C-700, Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

Disputes Subject to Final Resolution: The following disputed matters are subject to final resolution under the provisions of this Article: 1. A timely appeal of an approval in part and denial in part of a Claim, or of a denial in full; and 2. Disputes between Owner and Contractor concerning the Work or obligations under the Contract Documents, and arising after final payment has been made. B. Final Resolution of Disputes: For any dispute subject to resolution under this Article, Owner or Contractor may: 1. elect in writing to invoke the dispute resolution process provided for in the Supplementary Conditions; or 2. agree with the other party to submit the dispute to another dispute resolution process; or 3. if no dispute resolution process is provided for in the Supplementary Conditions or mutually agreed to, give written notice to the other party of the intent to submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction. ARTICLE 18 — MISCELLANEOUS 18.01 Giving Notice A. Whenever any provision of the Contract Documents requires the giving of written notice, it will be deemed to have been validly given if: 1. delivered in person, by a commercial courier service or otherwise, to the individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for which it is intended; or 2. delivered at or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the last business address known to the sender of the notice. 18.02 Computation of Times A. When any period of time is referred to in the Contract by days, it will be computed to exclude the first and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day will be omitted from the computation. 18.03 Cumulative Remedies A. The duties and obligations imposed by these General Conditions and the rights and remedies available hereunder to the parties hereto are in addition to, and are not to be construed in any way as a limitation of, any rights and remedies available to any or all of them which are otherwise imposed or available by Laws or Regulations, by special warranty or guarantee, or by other provisions of the Contract. The provisions of this paragraph will be as effective as if repeated specifically in the Contract Documents in connection with each particular duty, obligation, right, and remedy to which they apply.

Areas to be seeded, those requiring special preparation of the ground surface, and those in a satisfactory condition to remain undisturbed, will be shown on the Drawings and/or determined by the Engineer prior to the seeding phase. B. Suitable equipment necessary for proper preparation of the ground surface and for handling and placing all required materials shall be on hand, in good operating condition, and shall be approved by the Engineer before the various operations are started. The Contractor shall demonstrate to the Engineer before starting the various operations that the application of required materials will be made at the specified rates. C. During the operations of distributing fertilizer, or sowing seed, the areas covered shall be checked against the quantities of material used when one-fourth, one-half, and three -fourths of the affected areas have been covered to verify the proper rate of application. Upon completion of the distributing operations, a final check of the total quantities of materials used shall be made against the total acreage fertilized, and sown. If it is determined, by this checking of quantities used or by inspection either immediately after distributing the materials or after there is a show of green, that uniform distribution at rates at least equal to the minimum required, at the discretion of the Engineer, either to distribute additional quantities of these materials on the areas designated to meet the specification requirements, providing seasonal conditions are favorable, or have deducted from his payment an amount sufficient to cover the cost of the material and also the cost of distribution. Skipped areas wider than the distance between drills, in the case of drilling operations, or areas averaging more than 4 inches in width in the case of broadcasting operations, are subject also to this provision. D. When conditions are such, by reasons of extreme drought, excessive moisture, or other factors, that satisfactory results are not likely to be obtained, the work shall be stopped and it shall be resumed only when the desired results are likely to be obtained. P:A04\285\07\Dwg\Civil\SpecA428507 Div 32 Specs.docx 32-1 1 SECTION 32 9219 3.02 ORDER OF WORK: A. The order of work operations shall be as follows, except as modified by the Engineer. B. Removing of Debris: Prior to the commencement of seeding, all large stones, cables, wire, or any waste materials shall be removed from the site. All heavy growths of vegetation on the site which may interfere seriously with subsequent seeding, or sowing operations shall be mowed, raked, and used for mulch if suitable, or hauled off the site, as directed by the Engineer. During seeding operations, the ground surface shall be kept cleared of all large stones, roots, cable, wire, or any other materials which might hinder subsequent fertilizing, sowing, or maintenance operations. Finished Grading: Prior to seeding the areas shall be given a finished grading as needed to correct irregularities in the surface, due to previous operations or other causes and to restore the prescribed grade. 2. Discing and Harrowing: After the finish grading has been completed, the areas to be seeded shall be thoroughly prepared to a depth of 1 to 2 inches by discing or harrowing or by other means approved by the Engineer. 3. Fertilizing: Fertilizer shall be distributed uniformly over the areas to be seeded at a rate which will provide not less than the minimum quantity of each fertilizer ingredient specified. Distribution shall be by hand or by a common fertilizer distributor, or other equipment approved by the Engineer. Use of a grain or seed drill, equipped to sow seed and distribute fertilizer at the same time, will be permitted. 4. Sowing Seed: All sowing of seed shall be completed between the dates of August 15, to September 30. Sowing delayed beyond the specified dates, and due to circumstances beyond the Contractor's control, may be continued upon written approval from the Engineer, but in no instance more than ten (10) calendar days beyond the latest date. When work dates do not allow seeding to comply with dates of seeding, the Contractor shall provide winter seeding. This work shall include re -seeding areas that do not take in the spring before June 1. The Contractor shall employ a method of sowing satisfactory to the Engineer, and where practical he shall make use of approved power -drawn drills or seeders, hand seeders, or other approved equipment. When sowing seed mixtures, the Contractor shall keep the seed thoroughly mixed during the sowing operations to prevent separation of species and the subsequent lack of uniform distribution of species. When drills or other sowing equipment are used, they shall be equipped with markers or other means to provide that the successive seeded strips will overlap or be separated by a space no greater than the space between drills of the equipment being used. The sowing shall be stopped when satisfactory results are not likely to be obtained due to excessive moisture conditions, high winds, or other unfavorable conditions. It shall be resumed only when conditions are P:A04\285\07\Dwg\Civil\SpecA428507 Div 32 Specs.docx 32-12 SECTION 32 9219 favorable again or when alternate or corrective measures and procedures which are approved by the Engineer have been adopted. The rates of sowing specified are on the basis of the minimum total of pure live seed per acre. Actual sowing rates will be in excess of this quantity because of the existence of inert materials in all lots of seed. The actual seeding rate of the seed as delivered (including the inert and other material) is determined by dividing the minimum pounds of pure live seed, as specified, by the percentage by weight of pure live seed of the delivered seed. 5. Cleaning Up: After the seed has been sown, and prior to compacting, the surface shall be cleared of all stones, or other objects larger than 2 inches in greatest diameter, and all wire, roots, brush, or other objects that may interfere with subsequent mowing operations. 6. Compacting: Immediately after the sowing operations have been completed, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, the entire area shall be compacted by means of a culti-packer, roller, or other approved equipment, in order to reduce air pockets to a minimum. When a culti-packer or other equipment that leaves a roughened surface is used, the final rolling shall be along the contour and at right angles to the existing slopes to reduce water erosion, or at right angles to the prevailing wind to reduce dust, as directed by the Engineer. 7. Mulching: Dry straw mulching material shall be placed as soon as seed is sewn and final rolling is completed at a rate of 2000 pounds per acre. Mulch shall be evenly and uniformly distributed and anchored to the soil. 3.03 REPAIRING: A. When the surface has become gullied or otherwise damaged, within two (2) years from the date of acceptance of this project, the affected areas shall be repaired to re- establish the grade and the condition of the soil, as directed by the Owner and provided for in this specification and shall then be reseeded as specified herein. Later placing and compacting of fill material will be in accordance with the applicable grading specifications. * * * END OF SECTION * * * P:A04\285\07\Dwg\Civil\SpecA428507 Div 32 Specs.docx 32-13 Division 33 Utilities SECTION 33 7116.30 LAMINATED WOOD POLES PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 SCOPE: A.
