180-26 - Exhibit A. CDBG 2025 SPECS_compressed.pdf

Any damage to new or existing structures occurring through settlement, water or earth pressure, or other causes due to inadequate construction procedures of the Contractor in any other manner, shall be repaired by the Contractor at his own expense. Dewatering and Protection from Flooding The Contractor shall dewater the excavations promptly and continuously throughout the progress of the work and shall keep the excavations dry at all times until the structures to be built therein, are completed. Where work is to be performed below groundwater level, the Contractor shall provide, operate and maintain dewatering facilities sufficient to maintain the excavation free from groundwater for the time required to complete the work in the proper workmanlike manner. The Contractor shall protect uncompleted work from flooding during storms or from other causes. All pipelines or structures not stable against uplift during construction or prior to completion shall be thoroughly braced or otherwise protected. All necessary precautions shall be taken to prevent disturbance of, and to properly drain, the areas upon which concrete is poured, and upon which pipe is to be laid. All concrete shall be kept dry for one month after pouring except curing. All water pumped and bailed from the trench or other excavation shall be conveyed in a proper manner through an approved settling basin and to a suitable point of discharge by the Contractor at his own expense. Construction Safety The Contractor shall follow the various requirements contained in the Construction Safety Code, latest edition, as prepared by the State of New Jersey, Department of Labor and Industry, Bureau of Engineering and Safety. In addition, the Contractor shall comply with the "Construction Safety and Health Regulations" of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Title 29, Chapter XVII, Part 1926 or latest revision. Protection of Existing Pipelines and Structures Care shall be taken not to relocate without the consent of the Engineer any sewers, drains, culverts, water or gas pipes or structures near them that could affect their stability. All utilities shall be securely hung, braced, or supported in place until the work is completed. Whenever it is necessary to interfere with said structures or pipelines, the Contractor shall maintain their services at his own expense and repair all damages

ed in place until the work is completed. Whenever it is necessary to interfere with said structures or pipelines, the Contractor shall maintain their services at his own expense and repair all damages caused by his act or neglect of work. The integrity of all pipelines and structures shall be maintained throughout the construction and same shall be left in an equivalent condition or improved condition after completion of construction. Adequate precautions shall be taken to prevent settlement of existing improvements. In case water pipes, gas pipes, conduits, or other utilities become damaged or broken in the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall give immediate notice to the proper authorities and shall be responsible for any damage to persons or property caused by such breaks. Failure to give prompt notice to the authorities shall make the Contractor responsible for any needless loss of water or gas, or for interruption of services. When house connections or service pipes supplying water or gas as well as underground sprinkler systems are broken during construction, the Contractor shall repair them at his own expense. Delays, such as would result in adjoining buildings having to do without water or gas for a needlessly long period, will not be tolerated. The Municipality reserves the right to remedy such delays by ordering outside parties to make such repairs at the expense of the Contractor. 20
