Summary of Work Critical information to be included in the summary of work section shall be the general scope of work, the project schedule in calendar days up to and including the date of Substantial Completion, and the per-calendar day cost of liquidated damages.

Bid Alternates Where bid alternates are included in the contract documents, they shall only be additive – deductive alternates shall not be allowed. It would be the university’s preference that they be limited to a single trade (i.e. an added item or material quality substitution) and not complex requiring bid adjustments of multitude of sub-contractors (i.e. building addition or revised room layout).

Schedule of Values & Applications for Payment Insert EWU standard specification.

Submittals shall be required for as many products and systems as the A/E deems necessary in order to verify that the products intended to be purchased and installed in the Project match the specification. In such cases where the submittal does not match the specification, the A/E shall contact the representative of the company who prepared the submittal to determine the reasons for the discrepancy. If, in the opinion of the A/E, the reasons have merit, the A/E shall make recommendation to the owner who shall choose either to accept or reject. The owner shall be given one file copy of each approved submittal.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be required to be submitted by the contractor for every product specified or intended to be used on the construction site (i.e. fuel, solvent, etc.) and it shall be stated in those sections that the contractor shall handle and install products in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the MSDS.

Requests for substitutions shall be submitted to the design consultant who, if he/she deems the request warrants consideration of acceptance, shall make recommendation to the owner. The final decision for all requests for substitution shall be made by the owner. No substitutions shall be allowed after the cut-off date established in the contract documents except in cases of extenuating circumstances.

A project schedule shall be required to be submitted and approved prior to receipt of the contractor’s first Application for Payment, which the Owner will not accept unless the schedule is found acceptable. The schedule shall be in CPM format and shall identify all construction activities, float, and critical path. The schedule shall be updated and submitted with the contractor’s monthly Application for Payment. Unless the updated schedule is found acceptable, the owner will not review or approve the monthly pay application.

Temporary Facilities and Controls Insert EWU standard specification.

Closeout Procedures Insert EWU standard specification.

Butterfly valves (BFV) shall conform to the requirements of AWWA C504, Class 150B, for buried services, with worm gear or traveling nut-type operator that requires 6 turns, minimum, to close the valve, and a 2” operating nut opening left. Valves shall be flange or mechanical joint. Valves above grade shall be as manufactured by DeZurik; below grade shall be Kennedy or M&H Valve Company.

Branch service water mains for buildings, irrigation or other service connections to campus water distribution mains shall be made by installation of a ductile iron tee connection to the campus water distribution main. A butterfly isolation valve shall also be installed to the tee connection. Valve boxes shall be five and one-quarter inch roadway valve box with a cast iron ring and lid, Mueller or approved equal. The valve box shall be a 3-piece type with an adjustable top section. An 18” minimum diameter concrete collar shall be provided for valve boxes in unimproved areas. The words “EWU Water” shall be cast into the top of the lid. Valve wrenches shall operate 2” square operating nut, have a handle length of 7’- 0”, and cross bar handle. Extenders are required if depth of valve exceeds 7 feet. Contractor shall coordinate with the Owner for extender requirements. Tracer tape shall be installed above the bedding material for the purpose of locating the mains. Refer to standards of Section 02300 – Earthwork for all requirements. Backflow assemblies shall consist of either a reduced pressure assembly (RP) or a dual check valve assembly with reduced pressure zone between the check valves (DC), as manufactured by FEBCO. Back flow assemblies’ 2-inch and smaller shall be with bronze body and threaded end connections. Back flow assemblies in 2-½ inch and larger sizes shall with cast iron body and flat faced, flanged end connections.
