4.0
EXAMINATION OF SITE AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
4.1
Each bidder is responsible for being fully cognizant of the conditions relating to
the construction and the labor provisions under which the work will be performed
failure to do so will not relieve a successful bidder of their obligation to furnish
all material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions of the Contract
Documents and to complete the contemplated work for the consideration set forth
in their bid.
4.2
At the time of the opening of bids each bidder will be presumed to have inspected
the site and to have read and to be thoroughly familiar with the Contract
Documents (including all addenda). The failure or omission of any bidder to
receive or examine any form, instrument, or document shall in no way relieve any
bidder from any obligation in respect to their bid
4.3
Each bidder must recognize that the sequence of construction will be established
by the Owner and/or Engineer, to minimize traffic problems, or to avoid
interference with other proposed projects. No extra payment will be made for
remobilization from one section of the contract to another
4.4
Bidders are notified that it is obligatory upon them to obtain by their own means
information which they may require as to the existing physical conditions, and in
particular as to subsurface and ground water conditions. The Owner will make
available to the bidder all information obtained by investigations prior to the bid
openings, but makes no guarantee with respect to the accuracy of such
information, and each bidder in bidding represents that they rely exclusively upon
their own investigations, and the bidder makes a bid with full knowledge of all
conditions, and the kinds, quality, and quantity of work required.
13
4.5
Prior to submitting a Bid, the Bidder shall:
A. Carefully examine the Drawings and read the Specifications.
B. Visit the site of the proposed work, fully acquaint and familiarize itself with
the conditions as they exist and the character of the operations to be carried on
under the proposed Contract, and make such investigation as the Bidder may
see fit so that the Bidder shall fully understand the facilities, difficulties, and
restrictions accompanying the work under this Contract.
C. Bring to the attention of the Engineer any variations in the Contract
Documents and the actual site conditions that would affect the Bid, which
shall be reported to the Borough of Fairview in sufficient time to enable the
Engineer to correct such variations, by Addenda, if necessary.
4.6
Should the Bidder observe that any of the Contract Documents are at variance
with applicable laws, statutes, building codes or regulations in any respect, the
Bidder shall promptly notify the Engineer in writing and any necessary changes to
the Contract Documents shall be accomplished by appropriate modification. If the
Bidder submits its Bid without first bringing such variance to the attention of the
Engineer, the Bidder shall assume full responsibility and shall bear all costs
attributable thereto should it be awarded a Contract.
4.7
In submitting its Bid, the Bidder covenants that it has carefully examined the
Contract Documents, Addenda, if any, and the Site, that, as a result of such
examination, it fully understands the intent and purpose of the Contract
Documents and its obligations thereunder, and that it will not make claim for, or
have any right to damages, because of the lack of any information.
4.8
Bidders must satisfy themselves by personal examination of the location of the
proposed work and by such other means as they may choose as to the actual
conditions and requirements of the work and the accuracy of the estimate of the
Engineer and shall not at any time after the submission of a bid dispute or
complain of such statement or estimate of the Engineer nor assert that there has
been any misunderstanding in regard to the nature or amount of the work to be
done.

During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
The contractor or subcontractor, where applicable, will not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status,
affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality or sex. Except with

in accordance with standards prescribed by the Division, that its percentage of active “card carrying”
members who are minority and women workers is equal to or greater than the targeted employment goal
established in accordance with N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.2. The contractor or subcontractor agrees that a good
faith effort shall include compliance with the following procedures:
23
EXHIBIT B (Cont.)
(A) If the contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for a
construction trade, the contractor or subcontractor shall, within three business days of the contract

as it fulfills its affirmative action obligations under this contract and in accordance with the rules
promulgated by the Treasure pursuant to N.J.S.A. 10:5-31 et. seq., as supplemented and amended
from time to time and the Americans with Disabilities Act. If the contractor or subcontractor is
unable to obtain said assurances from the construction trade union at least five business days prior
to the commencement of construction work, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to afford equal
employment opportunities minority and women workers directly, consistent with this chapter. If
the contractor’s or subcontractor’s prior experience with a construction trade union, regardless of
whether the union has provided said assurances, indicates a significant possibility that the trade
union will not refer sufficient minority and women workers consistent with affording equal
employment opportunities as specified in this chapter, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to be
prepared to provide such opportunities to minority and women workers directly, consistent with
this chapter, by complying with the hiring or scheduling procedures prescribed under (B) below;
and the contractor or subcontractor further agrees to take said action immediately if it determines
that the union is not referring minority and women workers consistent with the equal employment
opportunity goals set forth in this chapter.
(B) If good faith efforts to meet targeted employment goals have not or cannot be met for each
construction trade be adhering to the procedures of (A) above, or if the contractor does not have a
referral agreement or arrangement with a union for a construction trade, the contractor or
subcontractor agrees to take the following actions:
(1) To notify the public agency compliance officer, the Division, and minority and women
referral organizations listed by the Division pursuant to N.J.A.C. 17:27-5.3, of its
workforce needs, and request referral of minority and women workers.
(2) To notify any minority and women workers who have been listed with its awaiting
available vacancies;
(3) Prior to commencement of work, to request that the local construction trade union refer
minority and women workers to fill job openings, provided the contractor or
subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for the construction
trade;
(4) To leave standing requests for additional referral to minority and women workers with
the local construction trade union, provided the contractor or subcontractor has a referral
agreement or arrangement with a union for the construction trade, the State Training and
Employment Service and other approved referral sources in the area;
(5) If it is necessary to lay off some of the workers in a given trade on the construction site,
layoffs shall be conducted in compliance with the equal employment opportunity and
non-discrimination standards set forth in this regulation, as well as with applicable
Federal and State court decisions;
(6) To adhere to the following procedure when minority and women workers apply or are
referred to the contractor or subcontractor:
24
EXHIBIT B (Cont.)
(i) The contractor or subcontractor shall interview the referred minority or women worker.
(ii) If said individuals have never previously received any document or certification signifying a level or
qualification lower than that required in order to perform the work of the construction trade, the
contractor or subcontractor shall in good faith determine the qualifications of such individuals. The
contractor or subcontractor shall hire or schedule those individuals who satisfy appropriate
qualification standards in conformity with the equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination
principles set forth in this chapter. However, a contractor or subcontractor shall determine that the
individual at least possess the requisite skills, and experience recognized by a union, apprentice
program or a referral agency, provided the referral agency is acceptable to the Division. If necessary,
the contractor or subcontractor shall hire or schedule minority and women workers who qualify as
trainees pursuant to these rules. All of the requirements, however, are limited by the provisions of (C)
below.
(iii) The name of any interested women or minority individual shall be maintained on a waiting list, and
shall be considered for employment as described in (i) above, whenever vacancies occur. At the
request of the Division, the contractor or subcontractor shall provide evidence of its good faith efforts
to employ women and minorities from the list to fill vacancies.
(iv) If, for any reason, said contractor or subcontractor determines that a minority individual or a woman
is not qualified or if the individual qualifies as an advanced trainee or apprentice, the contractor or
subcontractor shall inform the individual in writing of the reasons for the determination, maintain a
copy of the determination in its files, and send a copy to the public agency compliance officer and to
the Division.
(7) To keep a complete and accurate record of all requests made for the referral of workers in
any trade covered by the contract, on forms made available by the Division and submitted
promptly to the Division upon request.
(C) The contractor or subcontractor agrees that nothing contained in (B) above shall preclude the
contractor or subcontractor from complying with the union hiring hall or apprenticeship policies
in any applicable collective bargaining agreement or union hiring hall arrangement, and, where
required by custom or agreement, it shall send journeymen and trainees to the union for referral,
or to the apprenticeship program for admission, pursuant to such agreement or arrangement.
However, where the practices of a union or apprenticeship program will result in the exclusion of
minorities and women or the failure to refer minorities and women consistent with the targeted
county employment goal, the contractor or subcontractor shall consider for employment persons
referred pursuant to (B) above without regard to such agreement or arrangement; provided
further, however, that the contractor or subcontractor shall not be required to employ women and
minority advanced trainees and trainees in numbers which result in the employment of advanced
trainees and trainees as a percentage of the total workforce for the construction trade, which
percentage significantly exceeds the apprentice to journey worker ratio specified in the applicable
collective bargaining agreement, or in the absence of a collective bargaining agreement, exceeds,
the ratio established by practice in the area for said construction trade. Also, the contractor or
subcontractor agrees that, in implementing the procedures of (B) above, it shall, where applicable,
employ minority and women workers residing within the geographical jurisdiction of the union.
25

copy of the Monthly Project Workforce Report once a month thereafter for the duration of this contract to
the Division and to the public agency compliance officer.
The contractor agrees to cooperate with the public agency in the payment of budgeted funds, as is
necessary, for on-the-job and/or off-the-job programs for outreach and training of minorities and women.
(A) The contractor and its subcontractors shall furnish such reports or other documents to the
Division of Public Contracts Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance as may be requested by
the Division from time to time in order to carry out the purposes of these regulations, and public
agencies shall furnish such information as may be requested by the Division of Public Contracts
Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance for conducting a compliance investigation pursuant

and support of sheeting and bracing, wiring, and details of supporting and relocating
utilities or other adjacent structures, if it is intended to deviate from the details shown or
if the details are not shown. The Contractor, on approval of the Engineer, may submit
manufacturers’ literature as a substitute, or supplement to, the shop drawings. The
minimum size for any submission shall be 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches. All drawings and
printed matter submitted shall clearly indicate the section of the Contract items to which
they correspond (e.g. G 2.08). Erection drawings may also be required.
Drawings or printed matter shall give all dimensions and sizes to enable the Engineer to
consider the suitability of the material or layout for the purpose intended. The working
drawings shall, where needed for clarity, include outline and sectional views, and detailed
working dimensions and designations of the kind of materials and the kind of machine
work and finish required. Drawings for submission shall be coordinated by the Contractor
with the drawings heretofore approved, and with the design and function of any
equipment or structure. All measurements shall be field checked by the Contractor, who
shall not rely on the contract drawings for any dimension that can be measured in the
field.
Material shall not be purchased or fabricated for equipment or structures until the
Engineer has reviewed the working drawings, which shall represent all materials and
work involved in the construction. No materials or equipment shall be delivered to the

Upon review by The Engineer, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with four prints
on paper of each approved drawing, and four copies of approved manufacturer’s printed
literature. Only drawings which have been checked and corrected by the material
fabricator shall be submitted. The Contractor shall be responsible for the prompt
52
submission of all working drawings, so that there shall be no delay in the work due to the
absence of such drawings.
All shop drawings submitted must bear the approval stamp of the Contractor as evidence
that the drawings have been first checked by the Contractor. Any drawings submitted
without this stamp of approval will not be considered and will be returned to the
Contractor for resubmission. If the shop drawings show variations from the requirements
of the Contract Documents because of standard shop practice or other reasons, the
Contractor shall make specific mention of such variation in their letter of transmittal in
order that, if acceptable, suitable action may be taken for proper adjustment; otherwise
the Contractor will not be relieved of the responsibility for executing the work in
accordance with the Contract Documents even though such shop drawings have been
reviewed.
Where a shop drawing as submitted by the Contractor indicates a departure from the
Contract, which the Engineer deems to be a minor adjustment, in the interest of the
Owner not involving a change in Contract price or extension of time, the Engineer will
review the drawing but such review implies the following:
“The modification shown on the attached drawing has been reviewed in the interest of the
Owner to effect an improvement for the Project and is accepted with the understanding
that it is subject generally to all Contract stipulations and covenants; and that it is without
prejudice to any and all rights of the Owner under the Contract and bond or bonds.”
Where additional working drawings are required, the Contractor shall submit same upon
the request by the Engineer.
Any review or lack of same by the Engineer of such working drawings, manufacturer’s
literature or other data related to the work or material to be furnished for the Contract
shall not be construed as in any way relieving the Contractor from their full
responsibilities under the terms of the contract.

pavement, designating the lines of the streets or highways or of private property, is in the
line of any trench or other construction work and may have to be removed, the Contractor
shall notify the Engineer in writing at least 24 hours in advance. Under no circumstance
shall such monument be removed or disturbed by the Contractor or by any of their men
without a written order from the Engineer. The Contractor shall furnish the necessary
labor which may be required in resetting any monument, under the direct supervision of
the Engineer. Should any monument be destroyed through accident or neglect, the
Contractor shall be required, at their own expense to employ a licensed surveyor
acceptable to the Engineer, to re-establish the monument.

SEWAGE, SURFACE AND FLOOD FLOWS
The Contractor shall furnish all the necessary equipment, shall take all necessary
precautions, and shall assume the entire cost of handling any sewage, seepage, storm,
surface and flood flows which may be encountered at any time during construction of the
work, including bypassing of sewage around the work area if required. The manner of
providing for these flows shall meet with the approval of the Engineer, and the entire cost
of said work shall be considered as included in the prices bid for work to be done under
this Contract.

SUSPENSION OF WORK
If the Engineer deems it advisable they may order the Contractor in writing to stop work
on all or any part of the Contract, and the Contractor shall do no work when so ordered
until written notice has been received from the Engineer to resume work. When work is
suspended as above provided, payments for the completed parts of suspended work will
be made as provided hereinafter and a suitable extension of time for completing the work
will be granted. No payment will be made for work done by the Contractor when done in
violation of said order by the Engineer.
81.0
ABANDONMENT OF WORK
Should the Contractor abandon or in any manner fail to complete the work under this
Contract, the Owner is hereby authorized and empowered to pay any laborers or
mechanics for work done who may have been employed by said Contractor upon the
work herein, and to pay any claims against the Contractor for materials furnished, out of
any funds that would otherwise be due or become due said Contractor under this
Contract, and in every such case the Owner is hereby authorized and empowered to
ascertain through the Engineer, the amount or amounts due or owing to such labor or
laborers, or for materials, from said Contractor, in such manner and upon such proof as
said Owner may deem sufficient. And the amount or amounts so found by the Engineer to
be due and payable to such labor or laborers, or for materials furnished, shall be final and
conclusive against the Contractor, and may thereafter be paid by the Owner to said labor
or laborers, or to liquidate claims for material furnished; and any payment may be

UNFINISHED WORK COMPLETED BY THE OWNER
Upon a declaration of default of the Contractor as hereinbefore provided, the Owner
shall, by written notice, order the Contractor not to begin, or not to resume, or to
discontinue all work under this Contract or any part of such work, and thereupon the
Contractor shall not begin, or shall not resume, or shall discontinue all work or such part
thereof, and the Owner shall thereupon have the power, in the manner prescribed by law,
to contract for the completion of the work or such part thereof, or to place such and so
many persons as they may deem advisable by contract, or call on Surety to complete the
work or otherwise to work at and to complete the work or part thereof, or so much of the

The expense so charged, and also liquidated damages for delay in the completion of the
work, if any, as provided, shall be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such moneys as
may be then due or may at any time thereafter become due under and by virtue of this
Contract or any part thereof. In case such expense and liquidated damages, if any, shall
exceed the sum which would have been payable under this Contract, if the same had been
completed by the Contractor, they shall and will pay the amount of such excess to the
Owner; and in case such expense and liquidated damages, if any, shall be less than the

successors, assigns, lienors and to all claimants of any part of the moneys payable
hereunder.
85.0
CONTINUATION OF WORK BY CONTRACTOR
When any particular part of this work is being carried on by the Owner, by contract or

as not to hinder or interfere with the persons or workmen employed by the Owner.
86.0
THE OWNER’S RIGHT TO DO WORK AND THREE DAY CLAUSE
If the Contractor or their subcontractors should neglect to execute the work properly or
fail to perform any provisions of the Contract, the Owner, after three (3) days written
notice to the Contractor, may without prejudice to any other remedy the Owner may
have, make good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof from the payment
then or thereafter due the Contractor; provided, however, that the Engineer shall approve
both such action and the amount charged to the Contractor.
87.0
ESTIMATE OF QUANTITIES
Wherever the estimated quantities of work to be done and materials to be furnished under
this Contract are shown in any of the Contract Documents including the Proposal, they
are given for use in comparing bids and the right is especially reserved, except as herein
78
otherwise provided, to increase them or diminish them as may be deemed reasonably
necessary or desirable by the Owner to complete the work contemplated under this
Contract, and such increase or diminution shall in no way vitiate this Contract, nor shall
any such increase or diminution give cause to the Contractor for claims or liability for
damages.
88.0
PRICES NOT CHANGED BY CHANGE OF QUANTITIES
An increase or decrease in the quantities listed in the Proposal for any item shall not be
regarded as sufficient grounds for an increase or decrease in the price of that item, nor in
the time allowed for the completion of the work except as provided in the Contract. The
Owner reserves the right to delete portions of the work, or to add to the work, as they deem
necessary, and such changes shall be based upon the unit prices bid or upon reasonable prices
established by the Engineer.
89.0
EXTRA WORK AND CHANGES IN THE WORK
Without invalidating the Contract, the Owner may order extra work or order changes by
altering, adding to, or deducting from the work, the Contract price being adjusted
accordingly, and the consent of Surety being first obtained where necessary or desirable.
Such ordered work shall be executed under the conditions of the Contract except that any
claim for extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted at the time of ordering such
change.
No extra work or changes in the work covered by the Contract Documents shall be done
or made by the Contractor without the written approval by the Owner or the Engineer,
acting officially for the Owner, and not until the price for doing or making such is agreed
upon in writing.
Changes or credits for the work so ordered and approved shall be determined by one or
more, or a combination of three methods, as approved by the Owner as follows:
(A)
By such applicable unit prices, if any, as are set forth in the Contract; or
(B)
If no such unit prices are set forth, then by unit prices or by a lump sum mutually
agreed upon by the Owner and the Contractor; or
(C)
If no such unit prices are set forth and if the parties cannot agree upon prices or a
lump sum, then, for work performed the Contractor shall receive as compensation
the actual cost to them, which cost shall include:
(1)
Labor, including foreman;
(2)
Materials entering permanently into the work;
(3)
The ownership or rental cost of construction plant and equipment during
the time of use on the extra or changed work;

Plus up to a 10% overhead factor for identifiable direct job costs
(excluding subcontracting);
(8)
Plus up to a 5% profit factor applied to identifiable costs plus overhead.
(9)
Plus up to 2% additional bond cost factor applied to identifiable cost plus
overhead and profit.
If all or part of the extra work is done by a subcontractor, subcontractor’s overhead in the
amount of 10 percent may be added to cost of labor and materials, if methods (b) or (c)
above are used.
All Change Order estimates for work to be performed by the Contractor shall be
submitted by the Contractor in the following format (non-compliant Change Order

The Contractor shall give the Engineer access to all accounts, bills, payrolls, and
vouchers relating to such extra work and the Contractor agrees that they shall have no
claim for compensation for such work unless a statement in writing of the actual cost of
the same, fully itemized as to labor, materials, and other allowable costs is presented to
the Engineer before the fifteenth day of the month following that during which each
specific order was complied with by them.
It is understood and agreed by the Contractor that the Owner reserves the right to have
such extra work done by any persons, person, or corporation other than the Contractor,
unless an agreement upon the prices to be paid for such extra work can be promptly
reached between the Owner and the Contractor. Should said extra work be done by any
person, persons, or corporation other than the Contractor, all of the provisions as
hereinbefore provided shall apply and the Contractor agrees to make no claim for
damages or for any privileges or rights, other than that provided in the Contract, by
reason of such work by others, except for an extension of time to perform this Contract as
may be certified to the Owner by the Engineer, and approved by the Owner.
Should the Contractor consider themself entitled to extra compensation on account of the
before mentioned alterations or changes, the Contractor shall notify the Owner by making
their claim in writing to the Engineer before proceeding with the work in question.
Should the Contractor proceed with the said work in compliance with the written order of
the Engineer, it is to be construed as their acceptance of the order and the stipulated
80
compensation for the said work.
90.0
CLAIMS FOR EXTRA WORK
If the Contractor claims that any instructions issued by drawings or otherwise involve
extra cost under this Contract, the Contractor shall give the Engineer written notice
thereof within 48 hours after the receipt of such instruction, and in any event before
proceeding to execute the work; except in emergency endangering life or property, the
procedure shall then be as provided for in the preceding section. No such claim shall be
valid unless so made.
91.0
SUPPLEMENTARY CONTRACT
Where conditions require an unforeseen and major change in the work after the Contract
has been signed, the Contractor will undertake to enter into a Supplementary Contract at
agreed prices, to cover the cost of said changed work, and shall, if requested, waive any
right to do such work as extra work.
92.0
CONTRACTOR’S CLAIM FOR DAMAGES
If the Contractor shall claim compensation for any damage sustained by reason of the acts
of the Owner or its agents, the Contractor shall, within seven (7) days after sustaining of
such damage, make a written claim and statement to the Engineer of the nature of damage
sustained. On or before the fifteenth day of the month sustained, the Contractor shall file
with the Engineer an itemized statement of the details and the amount of such damage
alleged to have been sustained and unless such statement is made as thus required, their
claim for compensation will not be considered by the Owner, and shall be deemed to
have been waived by the Contractor.
In addition to the foregoing statements, the Contractor shall, upon notice from the Owner,
produce for examination by the representatives of the Owner, all their books of accounts,
bills, invoices, payrolls, subcontracts, time books, daily reports, bank deposit books, bank
statements, check books, and canceled checks, showing all of their acts and transactions
in connection with or relating to or arising by reason of this Contract, and submit
themself and persons in their employ for examination under oath by any person
designated by the Owner to investigate claims made against the Owner. Unless the
aforesaid statements shall be made and filed within the time aforesaid and the aforesaid
records submitted for examination, and the Contractor and their employees submit
themselves for examination as aforesaid, the Owner shall be released from all claims
arising under, relating to or by reason of this Contract, except for the sums certified by
the Owner to be due under the provisions of this Contract.
93.0
EXTENSION OF TIME FOR COMPLETING THE WORK
If the Contractor is delayed in completion of the work under the Contract by any act or
neglect of the Owner or of any other Contract employed by the Owner, or by changes in
the work, or by any priority or allocation order duly issued by the Federal government, or
by any unforeseeable cause beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of public enemy, fires, floods,
epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes and severe weather, or by
delays of subcontractors or suppliers occasioned by and of the causes described above, or
81
by delay authorized by the Engineer for any cause which the Engineer shall deem
justifiable, then:
For each day of delay in the completion of the work so caused, the Contractor shall be
allowed one day additional to the time limitation specified in the Contract, it being
understood and agreed that the allowance of same shall be solely at the discretion and
approval of the Owner.
No such extension of time shall be made for any delay unless the Contractor, within 5
days after the beginning of the delay, shall have informed the Owner in writing of the
nature of the delay, its cause, and its estimated duration. The Owner will ascertain the
facts regarding the delay and notify the Contractor within a reasonable time of its
decision in the matter.
The Contractor shall use all honorable and reasonable means to prevent strikes, to avoid
violations of labor agreements or other actions calculated to create dissatisfaction with
working conditions. Should strikes occur, the Contractor shall make all proper and
reasonable efforts to effect early settlement and resumption of the work. Should collusion
by the Contractor be proven in the case of strikes or lockouts, then no extension of time
for completion of the Contract will be given. Burden of proof in this case shall rest
entirely with the Contractor.
No claim for damages or any claim other than for extensions of time as herein provided
shall be made or asserted against the Owner by reason of any delays caused by the
reasons hereinabove mentioned.
94.0
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
It is hereby understood and mutually agreed, by and between the Contractor and the
Owner, that the date of beginning and the time for completion as specified in the Contract
of the work to be done there under are essential conditions of this Contract; and it is
further mutually understood and agreed that the work embraced in this Contract shall be
commenced on or before a date to be specified in the Owner’s written notice to
commence the work.
The Contractor agrees that said work shall be executed regularly, diligently, and
uninterruptedly at such rate of progress as will insure full completion thereof within the
time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and
the Owner, that the time for the completion of all work described in the Contract
Documents is a reasonable time for the completion of same, taking into consideration the
average climatic range and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality.
If the said Contractor shall neglect, fail, or refuse to complete the work within the time
specified in the Contract, or within such further time as may be properly granted by the
Owner in accordance with the provisions of this Contract, then the Contractor does
hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this Contract, to pay to the
Owner the amount specified in the Contract, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages
for such breach of Contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and every calendar day that
the Contractor shall exceed the time stipulated in the Proposal for completing the work.
The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner
because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the true
value of the damages which the Owner will sustain by failure of the Contractor to
82
complete the work on time, such as loss of revenue from service charges, additional costs
of interest charges, delays caused to other work by failure to perform this Contract, fines
by the State Department of Environmental Protection for failure to meet Permit
deadlines, and other damages, some of which are indefinite and not susceptible of easy
proof, and said amount is agreed to be the amount of damage which the Owner will
sustain and said amount shall be recovered by the Owner by deducting the same out of
any monies due or that may become due the Contractor, and if said monies are
insufficient to cover said damages, then the Contractor or their Surety shall pay the
amount of the difference.
As specified under “Inspection”, the costs of engineering and inspection performed
during overtime hours, or after the specified date of completion (regardless of the
granting of extensions of time), shall be deducted from funds owed to the Contractor, as
damages sustained by the Owner caused solely by actions of the Contractor.
It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this Contract
and of the specifications, wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the
performance of any act whatsoever in order to complete the public improvement on a
timely basis, and to comply with deadlines under the amended final judgment; and where
under the Contract an extension of time is allowed for the completion of any work, the
new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of this Contract.
It is also understood and agreed that the Contractor will not be charged with liquidated
damages when the Owner determines that the Contractor is without fault and that the
Contractor’s reasons for requesting a time extension are acceptable to the Owner. If an
extension of time is approved, said liquidated damages will be charged the Contractor
from the end of such extension to the completion of the work. However, whether or not
an extension of time is granted by the Owner, the Contractor shall pay to the Owner all
costs of engineering field work and inspection from the completion date, as determined
from the number of days specified for completing the work, to the date of actual
completion.
Inasmuch as the damages and losses of the Owner which will result from a failure by the
Contractor to complete the Work within the period herein specified (including any
extensions thereof fixed and approved as hereinafter provided) may include interest on
monies borrowed for construction, losses from the inability of the Owner to utilize the
new Work, and other expenses and damages, and cannot be calculated with any degree of
mathematical certainty, the damages of the Owner for delay in the case of such failure or
failures on the part of such Contractor shall (in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:11-19) be
liquidated in the sum of $200.00 per day for Contracts under $100,000.00; $350.00 per
day for Contracts between $100,000.00 and $499,999.00; $500.00 per day for Contracts
between $500,000.00 and $1,000,000.00; and $1,000.00 per day for Contracts over
$1,000,000.00. The liquidated damages shall be over and above any fixed costs (i.e.
inspection, legal penalties, etc.) already outlined and determined above. Liquidated
damages as determined herein shall be automatically deducted from payments to the
Contractor for Work performed.
95.0
PREPARATION OF ESTIMATES FOR MONTHLY PAYMENTS
Preliminary drafts of estimates for partial or monthly payment for work done and
materials delivered shall be delivered to the office of the Engineer no later than the fifth
83
day of the month following the period covered by such estimate. After the preliminary
drafts have been approved, final drafts of such estimates shall be prepared by the
Contractor, and delivered to the office of the Engineer no later than the tenth day of the
month following the period covered by such estimate. Classes of work listed on a partial
estimate shall be only those approved, and in the quantities so approved. Equipment,
materials and work shall conform to the approved breakdown statement, and shall be
considered only the extent, approved by the Engineer, as indicated on daily work report
sheets, as of the date on which the work was done.
No estimate or payment shall be required to be made when, in the judgment of the
Engineer, the total value of the work done since the last estimate amount to less than One
Thousand Dollars ($1000.00).
Deviation from the above procedure by the Contractor will result in disapproval of the
estimate. The work and materials included on such disapproved estimate shall not be
submitted for consideration until the next monthly estimate is submitted.
96.0
DAILY WORK REPORTS AND DELIVERY SLIPS
Daily work reports shall be prepared by the Contractor on forms supplied by the
Engineer, and shall be submitted to the Engineer on or before noon of the day following
the day’s work reported, properly prepared and signed.
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with copies of delivery slips covering all
material delivered to the site of the work, which is to be included in any monthly
estimate. All materials delivered to the site of the work, whether from a supplier’s
warehouse or from the. Contractor’s stock, shall be covered by such delivery slips.
Delivery slips shall be submitted daily with the daily work report sheets.
Deviation from the above procedure by the Contractor, as to daily work reports and
delivery slips, will result in disapproval of items of work. Such disapproved items shall
not be included in any monthly estimate until properly reported on daily work reports
and/or on approved delivery slips.
97.0
MATERIALS INCLUDED IN MONTHLY ESTIMATES
Allowances for payment to the extent listed herein, for equipment and materials
specifically listed on the approved breakdown statement of the lump sum bid, may be
included in the next monthly estimate after the stages herein have been reached:
(A)
Upon completion of delivery: 75% of the equipment or material price shown in
the breakdown statement.
(B)
Upon completion of erection or installation (including subsurface pipe
installation): Not more than 90% of the installed price shown in the breakdown
statement, or in the unit price bid.
(C)
Upon successful completion of acceptance tests: 100% of the price shown in the
breakdown statement, or in the unit prices bid.
All such equipment and materials included for payment in the monthly estimate shall be
and become the property of the Owner and, on demand, the Contractor at their own
expense shall promptly V execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be executed,
acknowledged, and delivered to the Owner for any and all such equipment and materials
84
included in any monthly estimate, proper bills of sale or other instruments in writing in a
form and as required by the Owner from the Contractor and from any person, firm, or
corporation manufacturing for, or selling or shipping or delivering to the Contractor any
such equipment and materials, conveying and assuring to the Owner title to such
materials included in such estimate free from all liens and encumbrances; and the
Contractor at their own expense shall mark such materials as the property of the Owner
and shall take such other steps, if any, as the Owner may require or regard as necessary to
vest title in the Owner to such equipment and materials free from all liens and
encumbrances. The Contractor shall, however, notwithstanding such transfer of title to
the Owner be absolutely responsible to the Owner for any loss or damage to such
equipment and materials until the same shall have been completely installed and tested,
all work under the Contract completed and accepted, and shall at their own cost replace
any equipment and materials lost or damaged.
98.0
PAYMENTS
Not later than 30 days after receipt of the monthly estimate, the Owner will make partial
payment to the Contractor on the basis of the estimate of the work performed during the
preceding calendar month by the Contractor, and duly approved and certified by the
Engineer, which estimate includes the allowances set forth hereinbefore. All such
payments shall be considered tentative only, subject to correction in the final estimate,
and need not be based on accurate measurement. These payments are to be made purely
to aid the Contractor to meet their current bills and for no other purpose.
The Owner will retain the following amounts from each estimate, in addition to payments
withheld for payment of claims, defective work, etc., as specified elsewhere:
(A)
During construction a retention of 2% payments claimed will be held until
acceptance of the work, provided that the Contractor is making satisfactory
progress and there is no specific cause for greater withholding.
(B)
Retentions for payment of claims, defective work, potential losses, etc., as
specified elsewhere, may also be withheld.
The Contractor shall pay:
(A)
for all transportation and utility services not later than the twentieth day of the
calendar month following that in which such services are rendered.
(B)
or all materials, tools and expendable equipment and supplies to the extent of 90
percent of their cost thereof, not later than the twentieth day of the calendar month
following that in which such materials, tools and equipment are delivered at the
site of the project, and the balance of the cost thereof not later than the thirtieth
day following the completion of that part of the work in or on which such
materials1 tools and equipment are incorporated or used; and,
(C)
to each of their subcontractors, not later than the fifth day following each payment
to the Contractor, the respective amounts allowed the Contractor on account of
the work performed by their subcontractors, to the extent of each subcontractor’s
interest therein.
Failure by the Contractor to defray the charges listed in (A), (B), and (C) above, shall
constitute grounds for disapproval by the Engineer of the current periodical estimate for
85
partial payment.
99.0
OWNERS RIGHT TO WITHHOLD PAYMENTS AND MAKE APPLICATION
THEREOF
The Owner may withhold from the Contractor as much as any approved payments due as
may in the opinion of the Owner be necessary:
(A)
to assure the payment of just claims of any persons supplying labor or materials
for the work then due and unpaid;
(B)
to protect the Owner from loss due to defective work not remedied; or
(C)
to protect the Owner from loss due to injury to persons or damage to the work or
property of other contractors, subcontractors, owners of utilities, or others caused
by the act or neglect of the Contractor or any of their subcontractors.
The Contractor shall, at the request of the Owner, furnish satisfactory proof that all
obligations of the nature hereinabove described have been paid, remedied, discharged, or
waived. If the Contractor fails to do so, then the Owner may, after having served written
notice, withhold from Contractor’s unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed
reasonably sufficient to cover any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is
furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged, whereupon payment to the
Contractor shall be resumed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no event
shall the provisions of this article be construed to impose any obligations upon the Owner
to either the Contractor or their Surety.
In paying any unpaid bills or obligations of the Contractor, the Owner shall be deemed
the agent of the Contractor and any payments so made by the Owner shall be considered
a payment made under this Contract by the Owner to the Contractor, and the Owner shall
not be liable to the Contractor for any such payments made in good faith.
If the moneys retained under this Contract are insufficient to pay the sums found by the
Owner to be due under the claims for labor and materials, the Owner may, at their
discretion, pay such sums, and the Contractor or their Surety shall repay to the Owner all
sums so paid out.
100.0 OPERATING TESTS
Prior to and as a requirement for receiving semi-final payment, the Contractor shall
conduct all operating tests called for in the specifications, including but not limited to,

and necessary to complete the work in a proper, safe and expeditious manner.
C. All work shall be completed in a good workman like manner and in accordance with
industry standard and accepted horticultural practices.
3.4
PLANTING, STAKING ROOT-GUARD AND MULCHING PROCEDURES
A. The following is the approved method of planting:
1. Remove the wire cage prior to planting.
2. Handle trees by the root ball, never by the trunk. Fully support the bottom of the
root ball and protect the trunk and limbs from damage when lifting.
3. Identify the location of the true root collar within the root ball — this is not
necessarily the top of the root ball.
4. Carefully dig a planting hole that is at least twice as wide as the root ball and to a
depth that will ensure that the true root collar remains above the surrounding grade.
In restricted areas, dig the bole as wide as possible. Over-digging the depth will
cause excessive settling and offers no benefit to the tree. In areas with poor,
compacted soil, till additional soil around the hole to 12” deep.
5. Scarify the sides of the planting hole where the soil is compacted or if they become
glazed by the digging process. Tamp the bottom of the planting hole, if necessary,
to prevent settling.
6. Trees shall be planted such that the root flare is 1" above adjacent grade, unless the
drawings indicate otherwise. Tree planting height shall be dictated by the actual
root flare rather than the top of rootball as received from growers or nurseries.
7. Tops of tree rootballs shall be no higher than 2" above the tops of main order tree
roots.
159 | P a g e
8. If main order roots are buried greater than 2" but less than 4" below the top of tree
rootballs, contractor must trim rootballs by carefully removing soil from the top of
the rootballs so that main order roots are within 2" of the top of rootball.
9. If main order roots are buried greater than 4" below the top of rootball, the tree will
be rejected and the contractor must remove the tree from the jobsite.
10. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that trees received on site and planted on
site meet the aforementioned specifications regarding tree root flare and rootball.
The Engineer reserves the right to reject any tree delivered to the site if tree's root
flare is buried greater than 4" below top of rootball.
11. Add a few inches of soil around the bottom of the root ball to straighten and stabilize
it.
12. Install root barrier around the root ball all trees within five feet of a sidewalk or
curb. Root guard on sidewalk side of root ball at a depth of at least 18 inches.
13. Once the tree is stabilized, cut and remove from the planting hole all burlap, twine
and wire from at least the upper two-thirds of the root ball (do not fold under).
14. Add several inches of backfill around the sides of the root ball, not over the top of
it. Use soil taken from the hole without amendments and with large stones, debris
and hard clods removed unless it is extremely poor quality. Any introduced soil
must be similar in texture to the surrounding soil or it will create a problem with
water infiltration.
15. Water the soil in to eliminate air pockets — do not tamp. The Contractor shall be
responsible for delivering water to the planting sites.
16. Continue backfilling and watering-in lifts of soil until the hole is backfilled to the
top of the outer edge of the root ball. Do not backfill over the crown (top center) of
the root ball or the root collar. Be sure to eliminate all air pockets.
17. Form a shallow (no more than 3’ high) soil saucer outside the edge of the root ball
to facilitate watering; All excess soil shall be removed from the site by the
Contractor.
18. Spade a neat edge between the soil and surrounding turf and mulch the entire soil
surface beneath the tree and within the planting bed with a 3” - 4” layer of shredded
hardwood mulch. Keep mulch a few inches from the base of the trunk — never
mound mulch against the tree. The root collar shall be visible above grade when all
work is complete or the installation will be rejected.
19. Remove all tags, ribbon, twine, etc. from the Plant Material.
20. Remove any dead or damaged branches in accordance with proper pruning
practices. No live growth shall be pruned (including “tipping”) without prior
approval of the Engineer.
21. Install a minimum of one tree watering bag per tree. Install multiple bags for trees
as recommended by the tree watering bag manufacturer. Fill water bags for each
tree.
22. Restore the work area to its original condition.
160 | P a g e
23. Immediately notify the Engineer of any unforeseen circumstances that prevent
adherence to these procedures and specifications.

END OF SECTION
The New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act (N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.25 et seq.) requires that the Department of Labor and
Workforce Development establish and enforce a prevailing wage level for workers engaged in public works in
order to safeguard their efficiency and general well being and to protect them as well as their employers from
the effects of serious and unfair competition.
Prevailing wage rates are wage and fringe benefit rates based on the collective bargaining agreements
established for a particular craft or trade in the locality in which the public work is performed. In New Jersey ,
these rates vary by county and by the type of work performed.
Applicable prevailing wage rates are those wages and fringe benefits in effect on the date the contract is
awarded. All pre-determined rate increases listed at the time the contract is awarded must also be paid ,
beginning on the dates specified. Rates that have expired will remain in effect until new rates are posted.
Prevailing Wage Rate
The prevailing wage rate for each craft will list the effective date of the rate and the following information :
W = Wage Rate per Hour
B = Fringe Benefit Rate per Hour*
T = Total Rate per Hour
*
Fringe benefits are an integral part of the prevailing wage rate. Employers not providing such
benefits must pay the fringe benefit amount directly to the employee each payday. Employers
providing benefits worth less than the fringe benefit amount must pay the balance directly to the
employee each payday.
Unless otherwise stated in the Prevailing Wage Rate Determination, the fringe benefit rate for
overtime hours remains at the straight time rate.
When the Overtime Notes in the Prevailing Wage Rate Determination state that the overtime
rates are "inclusive of benefits," the benefit rate is increased by the same factor as the wage rate
(i.e. multiplied by 1.5 for time and one-half, multiplied by 2 for double time, etc.).
Apprentice Rate Schedule
An “apprentice” is an individual who is registered with the United States Department of Labor - Office of
Apprenticeship and enrolled in a certified apprenticeship program during the period in which they are working
on the public works project.
The apprentice wage rate is a percentage of the journeyman wage rate, unless otherwise indicated. The
apprentice benefit rate is the full journeyman benefit rate, unless otherwise indicated.
If there is no apprentice rate schedule listed, the individual must be paid at least the journeyman rate even if
that individual is in a certified apprentice program for that trade.
If there is no ratio of apprentices to journeymen listed for a particular craft, then the ratio shall be one (1)
apprentice to every four (4) journeymen.

Comments/Notes
For each craft listed there will be comments/notes that cover the definition of the regular workday, shift
differentials, overtime, recognized holidays, and any other relevant information.
Public Works Contractor Registration
The Public Works Contractor Registration Act (N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.48, et seq.) requires that all contractors,
subcontractors, or lower tier subcontractors who are working on or who bid on public works projects register
with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Applications are available at www.nj.gov/labor
(click on Wage & Hour and then go to Registration & Permits).
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.51:
No contractor shall bid on any contract for public work as defined in section 2 of P.L.1963, c. 150
(C.34:11-56.26) unless the contractor is registered pursuant to this act. No contractor shall list a
subcontractor in a bid proposal for the contract unless the subcontractor is registered pursuant to
P.L.1999, c.238 (C.34:11-56.48 et seq.) at the time the bid is made. No contractor or subcontractor,
including a subcontractor not listed in the bid proposal, shall engage in the performance of any public
work subject to the contract, unless the contractor or subcontractor is registered pursuant to that act.
Snow Plowing
Snow plowing contracts are not subject to the New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act or the Public Works Contractor
Registration Act.
