GENERAL CONDITIONS: The Twin Mounds 5MG Tank Recoating Project

WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; TESTS AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR

ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK.

Warranty and Guarantee: CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to OWNER that all Work will be in accordance with the Contract Documents and will not be defective. Prompt notice of all defects shall be given to CONTRACTOR. All defective Work, whether or not in place, may be rejected, corrected or accepted as provided in these GENERAL CONDITIONS.

Access to Work: OWNER and OWNER's representatives, other representatives of OWNER, testing agencies and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will have access to the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspecting and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide proper and safe conditions for such access.

Tests and Inspections: CONTRACTOR shall give OWNER and OWNER's representatives timely notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals.

If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) to specifically be inspected, tested or approved, CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility therefor, pay all costs in connection therewith and furnish OWNER the required certification of inspection, testing or approval. CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspection or testing required in connection with OWNER's or OWNER's representative’s acceptance of a Supplier of materials or equipment proposed to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials or equipment submitted for approval prior to CONTRACTOR's purchase therefor for incorporation in the Work. The cost of all inspections, tests and approvals in addition to the above, which are required by the Contract Documents, shall be paid by OWNER (unless otherwise specified). All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by organizations acceptable to OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If any Work (including the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered without written concurrence of OWNER or OWNER's representatives, it must, if requested by OWNER or OWNER's representatives, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense unless CONTRACTOR has given OWNER or OWNER's representatives timely notice of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and OWNER or OWNER's representatives has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.

Neither observations by OWNER or OWNER's representatives, nor inspections, tests or approvals by others shall relieve CONTRACTOR from CONTRACTOR's obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Uncovering Work: If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of OWNER or OWNER's representatives, it must, if requested by OWNER or OWNER's representatives, be uncovered for OWNER or OWNER's representative’s observation and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense.

If OWNER or OWNER's representatives considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by OWNER or OWNER's representatives or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at OWNER or OWNER's representatives request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as OWNER or OWNER's representatives may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all



Page 26

necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction, (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals), and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.

Owner May Stop the Work: If the Work is defective, or CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workers of suitable materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents, 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 or any other party.

Correction or Removal of Defective Work: If required by OWNER or OWNER's representatives, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, as directed, either correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by OWNER or OWNER's representatives, remove it from the site and replace it with nondefective Work. If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, OWNER may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced, and all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal and replacement (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals) will be paid by CONTRACTOR. 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 or by Written Amendment.

Correction Period: If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or 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, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written instructions: (i) correct such defective Work, or, if it has been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the site and replace it with Work that is not defective, and (ii) satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage to other Work or the work of others resulting therefrom. If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, OWNER may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected. Work removed and replaced, and all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or resulting from such removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by CONTRACTOR.

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 or by Written Amendment. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected, removed or replaced under this paragraph 13.12, 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.

Acceptance of Defective Work: If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work If any such acceptance occurs prior to OWNER's representatives recommendation of final payment, a Change order will be issued incorporating the



Page 27

necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and if, the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim under the provisions of the contract. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER.

OWNER May Correct Defective Work: If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of OWNER or OWNER's representatives to proceed to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by OWNER to OWNER's representatives in accordance with these GENERAL CONDITIONS, 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, OWNER may, after seven days' written notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. To the extent necessary to complete corrective and 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, take possession of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site 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 such access to the site as may be necessary to enable OWNER to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against CONTRACTOR in an amount approved as to reasonableness by OWNER's representatives, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim under the provisions of the contract. Such direct, indirect and consequential costs will include but not be limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court and arbitration costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective Work. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder.

3.5 FIRST ANNIVERSARY INSPECTION

A. General

1. One (1) year from completion of the coating system, the interior shall be inspected as outlined in AWWA D102

section 5.2. The inside and outside surfaces of the tank shall be inspected by the OWNER, INSPECTOR,

CONTRACTOR and the coating manufacturer’s representative to determine whether any repair work is necessary.

2. The OWNER will require a dry inspection for the warranty inspection event. The inspector performing the

work on behalf of the OWNER shall provide all inspecting tools that he normally uses for the inspection process.

3. Dry inspection means the tank will be taken off line and entered to be inspected internally and carefully. The

entrants shall be fully disinfected according to AWWA specifications before entering the tank via the roof top

hatchway. The ceiling and beams shall be inspected via the use of an inflatable raft. Once they are completed the

tank shall be drained through use and entry will be made through a man-way.

4. Should defects of the tank interior lining be detected during the inspection the OWNER, INSPECTOR,

CONTRACTOR and the coating manufacturer’s representative shall determine the extent of the damage and the



Page 54

need for corrections. At that time, the CONTRACTOR shall come to an agreement with the OWNER of the time

frame needed to make corrections, and a date for taking the tank off line shall be determined.

B. Arrangements

1. The OWNER shall establish the date for the inspection and shall notify the CONTRACTOR at least 30 days in

advance. The first anniversary inspection shall not be considered waived unless such waiver is submitted in

writing by the owner.

2. The OWNER shall coordinate inspection of the tank. The CONTRACTOR along with the OWNER and

INSPECTOR shall conduct the inspection. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish an experienced foreman, rigging

and assistance for the inspection and shall be prepared to perform minor touch-up operations. The

CONTRACTOR shall have at least one gallon of each of the primer, intermediate and finish coatings, and a touch

up kit at the time of the inspection along with power cleaning tools and abrasive disks for spot cleaning.

3. If there should be repairs requiring extensive work and rigging that would require the draining of the tank then

this work may be delayed until a time mutually agreeable to the OWNER and CONTRACTOR.

C. Inspection Report

1. The OWNER or OWNER's representative shall prepare an inspection report covering the first anniversary

inspection, setting forth the number and type of failures observed, the percentage of the surface area where failure

has occurred, and the names of the persons making the inspection. Color photographs illustrating each type of

failure shall be included in the report.

D. Remedial Work

1. Any location where coatings have peeled off, bubbled, or cracked and any location where rusting is evident

shall be considered to be a failure of the coating system. The CONTRACTOR shall make repairs at all points

where failures are observed by removing the deteriorated coating, cleaning the surface, and recoating with the

same coating system. If the area of failures exceeds 25 percent of the area of a portion of the tank surface, then for

that portion, the entire coating system shall be removed and recoated. For purposes of determining the need for

complete recoating the inside roof, shell, and floor and the outside roof, shell, and floor shall each be considered

separately.

2. Warranty inspection corrections shall be performed by the CONTRACTOR. The OWNER’S INSPECTOR

shall be present during all phases of the corrections period. All costs for implementing the work as prescribed

herein including the INSPECTOR’S costs shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR. All defective work

shall be repaired and the tank closed up and ready for filling as soon as possible, in accordance with these
