consent of OWNER and ENGINEER, and specific written verification or adaptation by
ENGINEER.
ARTICLE 4 – AVAILABILITY OF LANDS; PHYSICAL CONDITIONS; REFERENCE POINTS
PHYSICAL CONDITIONS – INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTS:
4.1 Reference is made to the supplementary conditions for identification of those reports of
investigations and tests of subsurface and latent physical conditions at the site or otherwise

UNFORESEEN PHYSICAL CONDITIONS:
4.2 CONTRACTOR shall promptly notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing of any subsurface or
latent physical conditions at the site or in an existing structure differing materially from those
indicated or referred to in the Contract Documents. ENGINEER will promptly review those
conditions and advise OWNER in writing if further investigation or tests are necessary. Promptly
thereafter, OWNER may obtain the necessary additional investigations and tests, and furnish
copies to ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR. If ENGINEER and OWNER find that the results of
such investigations or tests indicate that there are subsurface or latent physical conditions which
differ materially from those intended in the Contract Documents, and which could not reasonably
6
have been anticipated by CONTRACTOR, a change order may be issued incorporating the
necessary revisions as agreed upon by the parties.
REFERENCE POINTS:
4.3 OWNER shall provide engineering surveys for construction to establish reference points which in
its judgment are necessary to enable CONTRACTOR to proceed with the Work.
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for laying out the Work (unless otherwise specified herein),

damages imposed by law upon the CONTRACTOR and each Subcontractor with respect
to all Work under the Agreement performed for the CONTRACTOR by Subcontractors.
5.3.7 Completed Operations Liability Insurance issued to and covering the liability for damage
imposed by law upon the CONTRACTOR and each Subcontractor arising between the
8
date of final cessation of the Work, and the date of final acceptance thereof out of that
part of the Work performed by each.
5.3.8 Comprehensive Automobile Insurance covering any auto (including owned, hired and
non-owned autos) shall be carried with a minimum limit of $1,000,000.00 each accident
combined single limit. All liability and property damage insurance required hereunder
shall be Comprehensive General and Automobile Bodily Injury and Property Damage
form of policy.
5.3.9 Employer’s Liability Insurance covering all of CONTRACTOR’s and any
Subcontractor’s employees acting within the course and scope of their employment.
5.3.10 CONTRACTOR shall in addition, and in the amounts required under the above, obtain
Protective Liability Insurance issued to and covering the liability for damages imposed by
law upon the OWNER with respect to all operations under the Agreement by the
CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors, including omissions and supervisory acts by the
OWNER.
5.4 Comprehensive Risk Policy Option: In lieu of the several policies specified for
CONTRACTOR’S Liability Insurance, a comprehensive liability and property damage insurance
policy inclusive of all the insurance and requirements hereinafter set forth, with an umbrella
covering of $2,000,000, subject to the approval of the OWNER, will be permissible.
5.5 Subcontractor’s Insurance: Before permitting any of its Subcontractors to perform any Work
under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall either (a) require each of its Subcontractors to
procure and maintain during the life of its Subcontracts, Subcontractor’s Public Liability and
Property Damage Insurance of the types and in the amounts as may be applicable to its Work,
which type and amounts shall be subject to the approval of the OWNER, or (b) insure the
activities of CONTRACTOR’S Subcontractors in its own policy.
5.6 Builder’s Risk Insurance: CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the
Work of this Project, Builder’s Risk Insurance, including the perils of fire, extended coverage
(loss due to vehicles, explosion, wind, flood, riot, etc.), vandalism and malicious mischief, and
special extended coverage (loss due to falling objects, collapse, water damage from faulty or
leaking systems, etc.) in the full amount of the Contract Price plus the cost of authorized extras.
Said amount of insurance coverage shall be considered to cover the insurable value of the Work
under this Agreement which is considered not to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the
amount of this Agreement and authorized extras. Such policy shall not insure any tools or
equipment, or temporary structures erected at the site and belonging to any person or persons, or
their Subcontractors who are obliged by contract with the OWNER to do Work on the Projects.
Such insurance shall be placed jointly in the names of the OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and any
and all Subcontractors, and any and all others obliged by contract with the OWNER to do Work
on this Project and at the OWNER’s option, any other person or persons whom the OWNER
deems to have an insurable interest in said property, or any part thereof, payable as their several
interests may appear.
CONTRACTOR shall furnish OWNER with certification of said insurance prior to
commencement of any Work. Any proceeds obtained from insurance provided for by this
paragraph shall be paid to and held by the OWNER as trustee. The OWNER shall have the right
to withhold payment of such proceeds until such time as the Work destroyed or damaged and
9
covered by such insurance shall be reconstructed and shall pay such proceeds on an installment
basis similar to that provided for by progress payment covering the original Work.
5.7 Certificates of Insurance: Certificates of Insurance acceptable to the OWNER shall be provided
to the OWNER for attachment to the Agreement. These Certificates shall contain provisions naming the
OWNER as an additional insured under CONTRACTOR’S insurance, as more fully required by the
General Conditions herein, and that coverage afforded under the policies will not be cancelled until at
least thirty days prior written notice has been given the OWNER. CONTRACTOR and its
Subcontractors shall not permit any of its Subcontractors to start Work until all required insurance has
been obtained and certificates with the proper endorsements have been filed with the OWNER. Failure of
the CONTRACTOR to comply with the foregoing insurance requirement shall in no way waive the
OWNER’S rights hereunder.
5.8 Owner’s Liability Insurance: The OWNER, at its option, may but shall not be required to
purchase and maintain such liability insurance as will protect it against claims which may arise
from operations under this Agreement. Purchasing and maintaining such insurance, however,
will not relieve the CONTRACTOR from purchasing and maintaining the insurance hereinbefore
specified.
5.9 Loss of Use of Insurance: The OWNER, at its option, may but shall not be required to, purchase
and maintain such insurance as will insure it against loss of use of OWNER’S property due to fire
or other hazards, however caused.
5.10 Coverage required of CONTRACTOR and any of its Subcontractors shall be primary over any
insurance or self-insurance program carried by OWNER.
5.11 All insurance policies in any way related to this Agreement and secured and maintained by
CONTRACTOR as required in this Article 5 shall include clauses stating that each carrier shall
waive all rights of recovery, under subrogation or otherwise, against Owner, its members,
managers, agencies, institutions, organizations, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
5.12 OWNER shall be named as additional insured on the Commercial General Liability, Automobile
Liability Insurance, and Completed Operations Liability Insurance policies.
5.13 CONTRACTOR shall insert a clause containing the terms of section 5.3 and all its subparts in all
contracts or sub-contracts, and all Subcontractors shall purchase and maintain the insurance on the
terms and conditions as set forth herein.
ARTICLE 6 – CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES
SUPERVISION AND SUPERINTENDENCE:
6.1 CONTRACTOR shall supervise and direct the Work competently and efficiently, devoting such
attention thereto and applying such skills and expertise as may be necessary to perform the Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for the
means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures of construction. CONTRACTOR shall
not be responsible for the negligence of others in the design or selection of a specific means,
method, technique, sequence, or procedure of construction which is indicated in and required by
the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to see that the finished Work
complies accurately with the Contract Documents.
10
6.2 CONTRACTOR shall keep on the Work at all times during its progress a competent resident
superintendent, who shall not be replaced without written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER
except under extraordinary circumstances. The superintendent will be CONTRACTOR’S
representative at the site and shall have authority to act on behalf of CONTRACTOR. All
communications given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to CONTRACTOR.
6.2.1 CONTRACTOR shall maintain and deliver to OWNER a daily job report of Work performed,
notable events and incidents, weather conditions, Subcontractor’s performance, any deficiencies
(and the corrective actions taken), delays, and other information that OWNER may reasonably
request.
6.2.2 CONTRACTOR will participate in meetings with OWNER at a specific date, time and place
established by OWNER, and to deliver all attending parties current reports on the following
items: progress payment requests; requests for information-current log; change requests- current
log; submittals- current log; change orders- current list; claims- pending claims, notices of claims
and any plans to file claims, if applicable, project progress report, job problems and quality
control review.
LABOR, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT:
6.3 CONTRACTOR shall provide competent, suitably qualified personnel to survey and lay out the
Work, and perform construction as required by the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall
at all times maintain good discipline and order at the site. Except in connection with the safety or
protection of persons, or the Work, or property at the site or adjacent thereto, and except as
otherwise indicated in the supplementary conditions, if any, all Work at the site shall be
performed during regular working hours and CONTRACTOR will not permit overtime Work or
the performance of Work on Saturday, Sunday, or any legal holiday without OWNER’S written
consent given after prior written notice to ENGINEER.
6.4 Colorado labor shall be employed to perform the Work to the extent of not less than eighty
percent of each type or class of labor in the several classifications of skilled and common labor
employed on the Project. “Colorado labor” means any person who is a resident of the State of
Colorado, at the time of employment, without discrimination as to race, color, creed, sex, age, or
religion except when sex or age is a bona fide occupational qualification.
6.5 CONTRACTOR shall furnish all materials, equipment, labor, transportation, construction
equipment and machinery, tools, appliances, fuel, power, light, heat, telephone, water, and
sanitary facilities, and all other facilities and incidentals necessary for the execution, testing,
initial operation, and completion of Work.
6.6 All materials and equipment shall be of good quality and new, except as otherwise provided in
the Contract Documents. If required by ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory
evidence (including reports of required test) as to the kind and quality of materials and
equipment.
6.7 All materials and equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned, and
conditioned in accordance with the instructions of the applicable manufacturer, fabricator,
supplier, or distributor, except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.
6.8 CONTRACTOR shall replace supervision personnel as-needed based upon OWNER’s
assessment that the Project is not adequately staffed or the Work is not progressing adequately.
11
6.9 CONTRACTOR shall at all times maintain a full-time management and supervisory staff of
competent persons at the Project site to coordinate and provide general direction of the Work and
progress of Subcontractors on the Project.
6.10 CONTRACTOR agrees that only competent and skilled workmen who satisfactorily perform
their duties shall be employed on the Project and CONTRACTOR shall ensure that there are an
adequate and competent supply of skilled workmen and materials as necessary to carry out the
Work on a continuous basis.
EQUIVALENT MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT:
6.11 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the drawings or specifications by
using the name of a proprietary item, or the name of a particular manufacturer, fabricator,
supplier, or distributor, the naming of the item is intended to establish the type, function, and
quality required. Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no substitution is
permitted, materials or equipment of other manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers, or distributors
may be accepted by ENGINEER and OWNER if sufficient information is submitted by
CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER and OWNER to determine that the material or equipment
proposed is equivalent to that named. The procedure for review by ENGINEER and OWNER
will be as set forth in paragraphs 6.11.1 and 6.11.2 below.
6.11.1 If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment,
CONTRACTOR shall make written application to ENGINEER and OWNER for
acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute will perform adequately the
functions called for by the general design, be similar and of equal substance to that
specified and be suited to the same use and capable of performing the same function as
that specified. The application will state whether or not acceptance of the substitute for
use in the Work will require a change in the drawings or specifications to adapt the
design to the substitute and whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in
connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All
variations of the proposed substitute from that specified shall be identified in the
application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be indicated.
The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all costs or savings that will
result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including costs of
redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which
shall be considered by ENGINEER and OWNER in evaluating the proposed substitute.
ENGINEER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR'S expense,
additional data about the proposed substitute. ENGINEER and OWNER will be the sole
judge of acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered or installed without
ENGINEER’S and OWNER’s prior written acceptance. OWNER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR’S expense, a special performance
guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute.
6.11.2 ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER and ENGINEER’S consultants in
evaluating substitutions proposed by CONTRACTOR and in making changes in the
drawings or specifications occasioned thereby, whether or not ENGINEER accepts a
proposed substitute. CONTRACTOR shall reimburse OWNER for the charges of
ENGINEER and ENGINEER'S consultants for evaluating any proposed substitute.
CONCERNING SUBCONTRACTORS:
12
6.12 CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcontractor or other person or organization (including
those who are to furnish the principal items of materials or equipment), whether initially or as a
substitute, against whom OWNER or ENGINEER may have reasonable objection. A
Subcontractor or other person or organization identified in writing to OWNER and ENGINEER
by CONTRACTOR prior to the Notice of Award, and not objected to in writing by OWNER or
ENGINEER prior to the Notice of Award, will be deemed acceptable to OWNER and
ENGINEER. Acceptance of any Subcontractor, other person or organization by OWNER or
ENGINEER shall not constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or ENGINEER to reject
defective work. If OWNER or ENGINEER, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to
any Subcontractor, or other person or organization proposed by CONTRACTOR after the Notice
of Award, CONTRACTOR shall submit an acceptable substitute, and the Contract Price shall be
increased or decreased by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and an
appropriate change order shall be issued. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any
Subcontractor, other person or organization against whom CONTRACTOR has reasonable
objection.
6.13 CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for all acts and omissions of its Subcontractors, and of
persons and organizations directly or indirectly employed by them, and of persons and
organizations for whose acts any of them may be liable to the same extent that CONTRACTOR is
responsible for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by CONTRACTOR.
Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create a contractual relationship between OWNER or
ENGINEER and any Subcontractor or other person or organization having a direct contract with
CONTRACTOR, nor shall it create any obligation on the part of OWNER or ENGINEER to pay
or to see to the payment of any monies due any Subcontractor, or other person or organization,
except as may otherwise by required by law. OWNER or ENGINEER may furnish to any
Subcontractor or other person or organization, to the extent practicable, evidence of amounts paid
to CONTRACTOR on account of specific Work done.
6.14 The divisions and sections of the specifications and the identifications of any drawings shall not
control CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcontractors, or delineating the Work to
be performed by any specific trade.
6.15 All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a Subcontractor will be pursuant to an appropriate
agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor which specifically binds the
Subcontractor to the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of
the OWNER and ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR shall pay each Subcontractor a just share of any
insurance monies received by CONTRACTOR on account of losses under policies issued
pursuant to paragraph 5.6.
PATENT FEES AND ROYALTIES:
6.16 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. If a
particular invention, design, process, product, or device is specified in the Contract Documents
for use in the performance of the Work, and if to the actual knowledge of OWNER or
ENGINEER its use is subject to patent rights or copyrights calling for the payment of any license
fee or royalty to others, the existence of such rights shall be disclosed by OWNER in the Contract
Documents. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless OWNER and ENGINEER and
anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them from and against all claims, damages,
13
losses, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising out of any infringement of patent rights or
copyrights incident to the use in the performance of the Work, or resulting from the incorporation
in the Work of any invention, design, process, product, or device not specified in the Contract
Documents, and shall defend all such claims in connection with any alleged infringement of such
rights.
PERMITS:
6.17 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR shall obtain and pay for
all construction permits and licenses except the OWNER will pay for the Town of Eagle Building
Permit. CONTRACTOR shall obtain and pay for Eagle County licenses. OWNER shall assist
CONTRACTOR, when necessary, in obtaining such permits and licenses. CONTRACTOR shall
pay all governmental charges and inspection fees necessary for the prosecution of the Work,
which are applicable at the time of opening of Proposals. CONTRACTOR shall pay all charges
of utility service companies for connections to the Work, and OWNER shall pay all charges of
such companies for capital costs related thereto.
LAWS AND REGULATIONS:
6.18 CONTRACTOR shall give all notices and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, and
regulations applicable to the Work. If CONTRACTOR observes that the Specifications or
Drawings are at variance therewith, CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER and OWNER
prompt written notice thereof, and any necessary changes shall be adjusted by an appropriate
Modification. If CONTRACTOR performs any Work knowing, or having reason to know, that it
is contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, and without such notice to
ENGINEER and OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall bear all costs arising therefrom; however, it
shall not be CONTRACTOR'S primary responsibility to make certain that the Specifications and
Drawings are in accordance with such laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations.
TAXES:
6.19 CONTRACTOR shall pay all sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes required to be paid by
it in accordance with the law of the place of the Project. OWNER of this Project is Tax Exempt.
USE OF PREMISES:
6.20 CONTRACTOR shall confine construction equipment, the storage of materials and equipment,
and the operations of workmen to areas permitted by law, ordinances, permits, or the
requirements of the Contract Documents, and shall not unreasonably encumber the Site with
construction equipment or other materials or equipment.
6.21 During the progress of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall keep the premises free from
accumulations of waste materials, rubbish, and other debris resulting from the Work. At the
completion of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall remove all waste materials, rubbish, and debris
from and about the Site as well as all tools, appliances, construction equipment, and machinery,
and surplus materials, and shall leave the site clean and ready for use and (or) occupancy by
OWNER. CONTRACTOR shall restore to their original condition those portions of the Project
Site not designated for alteration by the Contract Documents.
14
6.22 CONTRACTOR shall not load, nor permit any part of any structure to be loaded, in any manner
that will endanger the structure, nor shall CONTRACTOR subject any part of the Work or
adjacent property to stresses or pressures that will endanger it.
6.23 CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for removing all water and or mud interfering with the
Work.
6.24 CONTRACTOR shall perform the Work so as not to interfere with or disrupt the business
operations of any adjacent businesses.
6.25 Intentionally Omitted.
6.26 CONTRACTOR will locate all underground pipelines, conduits, ducts, cables, wires, manholes,
vaults, tanks, tunnels, or other such facilities or attachments, and any easements containing such
facilities, including those that convey electricity, gasses, steam, liquid petroleum products,
telephone or other communications, cable television, water, wastewater, storm water, other
liquids or chemicals, or traffic or other control systems which shall collectively be known as the
“Underground Facilities” prior to performing the Work. Unless it is otherwise expressly provided
in the Contract Documents;
6.26.1 OWNER shall not be responsible for providing any information to
CONTRACTOR regarding the Underground Facilities; and
6.26.2 The cost of all of the following will be included in the Contract Price, and
CONTRACTOR shall have full responsibility for:
a. Locating all Underground Facilities;
b. Coordination of the Work with the owners of such Underground Facilities,
including OWNER, during construction; and
c. Assurance that all safety and protection of all such Underground Facilities
and repairing any damage thereto resulting from the Work.
RECORD DOCUMENTS:
6.27 CONTRACTOR shall keep one record copy of all Specifications, Drawings, Addenda,
Modifications, Shop Drawings, and samples at the Site in good order and annotated to show all
changes made during the construction process. These shall be available to ENGINEER for
examination and shall be delivered to ENGINEER for OWNER upon completion of the Work.
SAFETY AND PROTECTION:
6.28 CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining, and supervising all safety
precautions and programs in connection with the Work. CONTRACTOR shall take all necessary
precautions for the safety of, and shall provide the necessary protection to prevent damage,
injury, or loss to:
6.28.1 all employees and Subcontractors on the Work and other persons who may be affected
thereby,
6.28.2 all the work and all materials or equipment to be incorporated therein, whether in storage
on or off the Site, and
15
6.28.3 other property at the Site, or adjacent thereto, including trees, shrubs, lawns, walks,
pavements, roadways, structures, and utilities not designated for removal, relocation or
replacement in the course of construction. CONTRACTOR shall comply with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and orders of any public body having
jurisdiction for the safety of persons or property, or to protect them from damage, injury,
or loss; and shall erect and maintain all necessary safeguards for such safety and
protection. CONTRACTOR shall notify owners of adjacent property and utilities when
prosecution of the Work may affect them. All damage, injury, or loss to any property
referred to in paragraph 6.28.2 or 6.28.3 caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part,
by CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any
of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, shall be remedied by
CONTRACTOR (except damage or loss attributable to the sole fault of drawings or
specifications, or solely to the acts or omissions of OWNER or ENGINEER).
CONTRACTOR'S duties and responsibilities for the safety and protection of the Work
shall continue until such time as all the Work is completed and ENGINEER has issued a
notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR, in accordance with paragraph 14.13, that the
Work is acceptable.
6.29 CONTRACTOR shall designate a responsible member of ITS organization at the site whose duty
shall be the prevention of accidents. This person shall be CONTRACTOR'S superintendent,
unless otherwise designated in writing by CONTRACTOR to OWNER.
EMERGENCIES:
6.30 In emergencies affecting the safety or protection of persons, or the Work, or property at the Site
or adjacent thereto, CONTRACTOR, without special instruction or authorization from
ENGINEER to OWNER, is obligated to act to prevent threatened damage, injury, or loss.
CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER and OWNER prompt written notice of any significant
changes in the Work, or deviations from the Contract Documents caused thereby.
SHOP DRAWINGS AND SAMPLES:
6.31 After checking and verifying all field measurements, CONTRACTOR shall submit to
ENGINEER for review and approval, in accordance with the accepted schedule of Shop Drawing
submissions, five copies of all Shop Drawings, which shall have been checked by, and stamped
with the approval of, CONTRACTOR, and identified as ENGINEER may require. The data
shown on the Shop Drawings will be complete with respect to dimensions, design criteria,
materials of construction, and like information to enable ENGINEER to review the information as
required.
6.32 CONTRACTOR shall also submit to ENGINEER for review and approval, with such promptness
as to cause no delay in Work, all samples required by the Contract Documents. All samples will
have been checked by, and stamped with the approval of CONTRACTOR, identified clearly as to
material, manufacturer, and any pertinent catalog numbers, and the use for which intended.
6.33 At the time of each submission, CONTRACTOR shall, in writing, call ENGINEER’S and
OWNER’s attention to any deviations that the Shop Drawings or samples may have from the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
16
6.34 ENGINEER with prior approval of OWNER will review and approve, with reasonable
promptness, Shop Drawings and samples, but ENGINEER'S and/or OWNER’s review and
approval shall be only for conformance with the design concept of the Project, and for
compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents, and shall not extend to means,
methods, sequences, techniques, or procedures of construction, or to safety precautions of
programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will not indicate
approval of the assembly in which the item functions. CONTRACTOR shall make any
corrections required by ENGINEER or OWNER, and shall return the required number of
corrected copies of Shop Drawings, and resubmit new samples for review and approval.
CONTRACTOR shall direct specific attention in writing to revisions other than the corrections
called for by ENGINEER or OWNER on previous submittals. CONTRACTOR'S stamp of
approval on any Shop Drawing or sample shall constitute a representation to OWNER and
ENGINEER that CONTRACTOR has either determined and verified all quantities, dimensions,
field construction criteria, materials catalog numbers, and similar data, or assumes full
responsibility for doing so, and that CONTRACTOR has reviewed or coordinated each Shop
Drawing or sample with the requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents.
6.35 Where a Shop Drawing or sample is required by the specifications, no related Work shall be
commenced until the submittal has been reviewed and approved by ENGINEER as to Shop
Drawing and ENGINEER and OWNER as to samples.
6.36 ENGINEER'S review and approval of Shop Drawings or ENGINEER’S and OWNER’S review
and approval samples shall not relieve CONTRACTOR from responsibility for any deviations
from the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR has, in writing, called ENGINEER'S and
(or) OWNER’s attention to such deviation at the time of submission, and ENGINEER with prior
approval of OWNER has given written concurrence and approval to the specific deviation, nor
shall any concurrence or approval by ENGINEER or OWNER relive CONTRACTOR from
responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings.
CONTINUING THE WORK:
6.37 CONTRACTOR shall carry on the Work and maintain the progress schedule during all disputes
or disagreements with OWNER. No Work shall be delayed or postponed pending resolution of
any disputes or disagreements, except as CONTRACTOR and OWNER may otherwise agree in
writing.
INDEMNIFICATION:
6.38 To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless
OWNER and ENGINEER, and their officials, agents, and employees, from and against all claims,
damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and costs
arising out of, or resulting from, the performance or non-performance of the Work, and including,
but not limited to, claims, damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses attributable to bodily injury,
sickness, disease, or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property, including the loss of
use resulting therefrom or is caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of
CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or
anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall be
interpreted that the OWNER or ENGINEER waives its sovereign immunity granted under
Colorado Governmental Immunity Act if applicable or other applicable law.
17
6.39 In any and all claims against OWNER or ENGINEER, or any of their agents or employees, by
any employee of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by
any of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation
under paragraph 6.38 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of
damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor
under worker’s compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts.
6.40 The obligations of CONTRACTOR under paragraph 6.38 shall not extend to the liability of
ENGINEER, its agents, or employees arising out of the preparation or approval of maps,
drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, change orders, designs, or specifications.
ARTICLE 7 – WORK BY OTHERS
7.1 OWNER may perform additional Work related to the Project by ITSELF, or have additional work
performed by utility service companies, or let other direct contracts therefore which shall contain
general conditions similar to these. CONTRACTOR shall afford the utility service companies
and the other contractors who are parties to such direct contracts (or OWNER, if OWNER is
performing the additional work with OWNER'S employees) reasonable opportunity for the
introduction and storage of materials and equipment, and the execution of work, and shall
properly connect and coordinate CONTRACTOR’S work with theirs.
7.2 If any part of CONTRACTOR'S Work depends, for proper execution or results, upon the Work of
any such other contractor or utility service company (or OWNER), CONTRACTOR shall inspect
and promptly report to ENGINEER and OWNER in writing any patent or apparent defects or
deficiencies in such Work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results.
CONTRACTOR'S failure to so report shall constitute an acceptance of the other Work as fit and
proper for integration with CONTRACTOR'S Work, except for latent or non-apparent defects
and deficiencies in the other Work.
7.3 CONTRACTOR shall do all cutting, fitting, and patching of its Work that may be required to
make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other Work.
CONTRACTOR shall not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating, or otherwise
altering their work, and will only cut or alter their work with the written consent of ENGINEER
and OWNER and the others whose work will be affected.
7.4 If the performance of additional work by other contractors or utility service companies or
OWNER was not noted in the Contract Documents, written notice thereof shall be given to
CONTRACTOR prior to starting any such additional work. If CONTRACTOR believes that the
performance of such additional work by OWNER or others involves additional expense to
CONTRACTOR, or requires an extension of the Contract Time, CONTRACTOR may make a
claim therefore as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
ARTICLE 8 – OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
8.1 OWNER shall issue communications to CONTRACTOR or through ENGINEER.
8.2 In case of termination of the employment of ENGINEER, OWNER shall appoint an ENGINEER
whose status under the Contract Documents shall be that of the former ENGINEER.
18
8.3 OWNER and all of its employees and agents shall have the right to full access and use of the
Project Site. Such use shall not constitute acceptance of the Work or any part thereof or waive
any of OWNER’S rights or remedies under the Contract Documents.
ARTICLE 9 – ENGINEER’S STATUS DURING CONSTRUCTION
OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE:
9.1 The duties and responsibilities and the limitations of authority of ENGINEER as OWNER'S
representative during construction are set forth in the Contract Documents, and shall not be
extended without written consent of OWNER and ENGINEER. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in all instances in the Contract Documents where ENGINEER has the authority
to make decisions concerning quality of and acceptance of the Work performed by
CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER shall first discuss such decision and proposed acceptance with
OWNER and obtain its approval prior to communicating with the CONTRACTOR. Further, in all
instances in the Contract Documents where ENGINEER has the authority to make a decision that
impacts the Project budget or Contract Price or payment to the CONTRACTOR, then
ENGINEER shall first discuss the payment or costs with OWNER and obtain its approval prior to
approving any payment, additive or deductive Work.
VISITS TO SITE:
9.2 ENGINEER will make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of
construction to observe the progress and quality of the executed Work and to determine, in
general, if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents. ENGINEER will
not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or
quantity of the Work. ENGINEER'S efforts will be directed toward providing for OWNER a
greater degree of confidence that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents.
On the basis of such visits and on-site observations, as an experienced and qualified design
professional, ENGINEER will keep OWNER informed of the progress of the Work.
CLARIFICATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS:
9.3 ENGINEER will issue, with reasonable promptness, such written clarifications or interpretations
of the Contract Documents (in the form of drawings or otherwise) as ENGINEER and OWNER
may determine necessary, which shall be consistent with, or reasonably inferable from, the
overall intent of the Contract Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that a written clarification
or interpretation justifies an increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time, CONTRACTOR
may make a claim therefore, as provided in Article 11 or Article 12.
REJECTING DEFECTIVE WORK:
9.4 ENGINEER after conferring and receiving approval of OWNER will have authority to
disapprove or reject Work which is defective, and will also have authority to require special
inspection or testing of the Work as fabricated, installed, or completed.
DECISIONS ON DISAGREEMENTS:
9.5 ENGINEER will be the initial interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents
concerning the acceptability of the Work thereunder. Claims, disputes, and other matters relating
to the acceptability of the Work, or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract
19
Documents pertaining to the execution and progress of the Work, shall be referred initially to
ENGINEER in writing with a request for a formal decision which ENGINEER and OWNER will
together render in writing within a reasonable time. The final decision concerning any claim,
dispute or other matter relating to acceptability of the Work or interpretation of the requirements
of the Contract Documents pertaining to the execution and progress of the Work shall be
OWNER’s.
LIMITATIONS ON ENGINEER'S RESPONSIBILITIES:
9.6 Neither ENGINEER'S or OWNER’s authority to act under this Article 9, or elsewhere in the
Contract Documents, nor any decision made by ENGINEER or OWNER in good faith either to
exercise or not exercise such authority shall give rise to any duty or responsibility of ENGINEER
or OWNER to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, or
distributor, or any of their agents or employees, or any other person performing any of the Work.
9.7 Whenever, in the Contract Documents, the terms “as ordered”, “as directed”, “as required”, “as
allowed”, or terms of like effect or import are used, or the adjectives “reasonable”, “suitable”,
“acceptable”, “proper”, or “satisfactory”, or adjectives of like effect or import are used to
describe requirement, direction, review, or judgment of ENGINEER as to the Work, it is intended
that such requirement direction, review, or judgment will be solely to evaluate the Work for
compliance with the Contract Documents (unless there is a specific statement indicating
otherwise).
9.8 ENGINEER and OWNER will not be responsible for CONTRACTOR'S means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs
incident thereto, and ENGINEER and OWNER will not be responsible for CONTRACTOR'S
failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
9.9 ENGINEER and OWNER will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of CONTRACTOR,
or of any Subcontractor, or of the agents or employees of any CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor,
or of any other persons at the site or otherwise performing any of the Work.
ARTICLE 10 – CHANGES IN THE WORK
10.1 Without invalidating the Contract Documents, OWNER may, at any time or from time to time,
order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work; these will be authorized by written change
orders. Upon receipt of a change order, CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the Work involved.
All such Work shall be executed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. If
any change order causes an increase or decrease in the Contract Price, or an extension or
shortening of the Contract Time, an equitable adjustment will be made as provided in Article 11
or Article 12 on the basis of a claim made by either party.
10.2 ENGINEER with approval of OWNER may authorize minor changes in the Work, not involving
an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time, which are consistent with the overall
intent of the Contract Documents. These may be accomplished by a field order, and shall be
binding on OWNER, and also on CONTRACTOR who shall perform the change promptly. If
CONTRACTOR believes that a field order justifies an increase in the Contract Price or Contract
Time, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefore as provided in Article 11 or Article 12.
10.3 Additional Work performed without authorization of a change order will not entitle
CONTRACTOR to an increase in the Contract Price, or an extension of the Contract Time,
20
except in the case of an emergency as provided in paragraph 6.30, and except as provided in
paragraph 13.9.
10.4 OWNER may execute appropriate change orders prepared by ENGINEER covering changes in
the Work which are required by OWNER, or required because of unforeseen physical conditions
or emergencies, or because of uncovering Work found not to be defective, or as provided in
paragraphs 11.10 or 11.11.
ARTICLE 11 – CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE
11.1 The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to authorized adjustments) payable
to CONTRACTOR for performing the Work. All duties, responsibilities, and obligations
assigned to or undertaken by CONTRACTOR shall be at its expense without change in the
Contract Price.
11.2 The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order. Any claim for an increase in the
Contract Price shall be based on written notice delivered to OWNER and ENGINEER within
seven (7) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Any change in the Contract
Price resulting from any such claim shall first be approved by ENGINEER and OWNER before
being incorporated in a change order.
11.3 No change orders or other form of order or directive which requires additional compensable
Work to be performed may be issued or be effective unless accompanied by a written assurance
to the CONTRACTOR that lawful appropriations to cover the costs of the additional Work have
been made.
11.4 The value of any Work covered by a change order, or of any claim for an increase or decrease in
the Contract Price, shall be determined in one of the following ways:
11.4.1 Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents,
by application of unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (subject to the
provisions of paragraph 11.10).
11.4.2 By mutual acceptance of a lump sum.
11.4.3 On the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in paragraphs 11.5 and
11.6) plus a Contractor’s Fee for overhead and profit as provided in paragraph 11.7.
11.4.4 Regardless of method for determining the value of any Work covered by a change order,
CONTRACTOR shall provide OWNER with written documentation concerning the
claim, including but not limited to the specific reasons for the claim.
11.5 The term “Cost of the Work” means the sum of any and all costs necessarily incurred and paid by
CONTRACTOR in the proper performance of the Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to
in writing by OWNER, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the
locality for the Project, shall include only the following items, and shall not include any of the
costs itemized in paragraph 11.6:
11.5.1 Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of CONTRACTOR on-site in the
performance of the Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by OWNER
and CONTRACTOR. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on the Work
21
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,
worker’s compensation, health and retirement benefits, bonuses, sick leave, vacation and
holiday pay applicable thereto. Such employees shall include superintendents and
foremen at the site. The expenses of performing Work after regular working hours, or on
Sunday or legal holidays, shall be included in the above only to the extent authorized by
OWNER.
11.5.2 Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including
costs of transportation and storage thereof, and manufacturers’ field services required in
connection therewith. All cash discounts shall accrue to OWNER. All trade discounts,
rebates and refunds, and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment shall
accrue to OWNER, and CONTRACTOR shall make provisions so that they may be
obtained.
11.5.3 Payments made by CONTRACTOR to the Subcontractors for Work performed by
Subcontractors. If required by OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall obtain competitive bids
from Subcontractors acceptable to CONTRACTOR, and shall deliver such bids to
OWNER, who will then determine, with the advice of ENGINEER, which bids will be
accepted. If a subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of
Cost of the Work, the Subcontractor’s Cost of the Work plus a fee shall be determined in
the same manner as CONTRACTOR'S Cost of the Work. All Subcontracts shall be
subject to the other provisions of the Contract Documents insofar as applicable.
11.5.4 Supplemental costs including the following:
11.5.4.1 The proportion of necessary transportation, travel, and subsistence expenses of
CONTRACTOR'S employees incurred in discharge of duties connected with the
Work.
11.5.4.2 Cost, including transportation and maintenance, of all materials, supplies,
equipment, machines, appliances, office and temporary facilities at the site, and
hand tools not owned by the workmen, 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.
11.5.4.3 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, installation, dismantling and removal
thereof, all in accordance with 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.
11.5.4.4 Deposits lost for causes other than CONTRACTOR'S negligence, royalty
payments, and fees for permits and licenses.
11.5.4.5 Cost of premiums for additional bonds and insurance required because of
changes in the Work.
22
11.6 The term “Cost of the Work” shall not include any of the following:
11.6.1 Payroll costs and other compensation of CONTRACTOR'S officers, executives,
principals (of partnership and sole proprietorship), general managers, ENGINEER's,
engineers, estimators, lawyers, 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 a branch office for general
administration of the Work, and not specifically included in the agreed upon schedule of
job classifications referred to in subparagraph 11.5.1. all of which are considered to be
administrative costs covered by the Contractor’s Fee.
11.6.2 Expenses of CONTRACTOR'S principal and branch office, other than CONTRACTOR'S
office at the site.
11.6.3 Any part of CONTRACTOR'S capital expenses including interest on CONTRACTOR'S
capital employed for the Work, and charges against CONTRACTOR for delinquent
payments.
11.6.4 Cost of premiums for all bonds and for all insurance whether or not CONTRACTOR is
required by the Contract Documents to purchase and maintain the same (except for
additional bonds and insurance required because of changes in the Work).
11.6.5 Costs due to the negligent performance or non-performance 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.
11.6.6 Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind, and the costs of any item not
specifically and expressly included in paragraph 11.5.
CONTRACTOR’S FEE:
11.7 The Contractor’s Fee allowed to CONTRACTOR for overhead and profit shall be determined as
follows:
11.7.1 A mutually acceptable fixed fee as provided in the SUPPLEMENTAL UNIT PRICING
for Construction Manager/General Contractor Overhead and Profit Fee.
11.7.2. No fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under paragraphs 11.5.4 and 11.6.
11.8 The amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any such change which
results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease. When both
additions and credits are involved in any one change, the combined adjustment to overhead and
profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase or decrease in allowable costs, if any.
ADJUSTMENT OF UNIT QUANTITIES:
23
11.9 Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined based upon unit price, CONTRACTOR will
submit, in form acceptable to ENGINEER and OWNER, an itemized cost breakdown together
with supporting data.
11.10 Where the quantity of Work with respect to any item that is covered by a unit price differs
materially and significantly from the quantity of such Work indicated in the Contract Documents,
an appropriate change order (additive or deductive) may be issued on recommendation of
ENGINEER with written approval of OWNER. In no event will the unit price bid by
CONTRACTOR be modified, but the quantity of any item may be increased or decreased as set
forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the change modify the not to exceed
the Contract Price or otherwise be modified without a change order approved by OWNER in
writing.
CASH ALLOWANCES:
11.11 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 done by such
Subcontractors, manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers, or distributors, and for such sums within the
limit of the allowances as may be acceptable to ENGINEER and OWNER. Upon final payment,
the Contract Price shall be adjusted as required, and an appropriate change order issued.
CONTRACTOR agrees that the original Contract Price includes such sums as CONTRACTOR
deems proper for costs and profit on account of cash allowances. No demand for additional cost
or profit in connection therewith will be valid.
ARTICLE 12 – CHANGE OF THE CONTRACT TIME
12.1 The Contract Time may only be changed by a change order. Any claim for an extension in the
Contract Time shall be based on written notice delivered to OWNER and ENGINEER within
seven days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Any change in the Contract
Time resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated in a change order.
12.2 All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement. The
provisions of Articles 11 and 12 are CONTRACTOR'S sole remedies for delay by any cause
whatsoever, including acts of OWNER.
ARTICLE 13 – WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; TESTS AND INSPECTION; CORRECTION,
REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE:
13.1 CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to OWNER and ENGINEER 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 this Article 13. Further, CONTRACTOR warrants to
OWNER that (i) materials and equipment furnished under the Contract Documents shall be of
highest quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract Documents; (ii)
the Work shall be free from defects and deficiencies; (iii) the Work shall conform to the
requirements of the Contract Documents, applicable laws, and applicable permits; and (iv) the
Work shall be performed in a good and workman like manner. All guarantees and warranties of
equipment or materials furnished to CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor(s) by any
manufacturer or supplier shall be for the benefit of OWNER. CONTRACTOR does hereby
24
covenant, warrant and agree that it shall repair or replace any and all of the Work, together with
other Work which may be displaced by such repair or replacement, without any cost to OWNER
for a period of two years following the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. This
obligation shall survive both final payment for the Work or designated portion thereof and
termination of this Agreement.
ACCESS TO WORK:
13.2 OWNER and ENGINEER'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, inspection and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide
proper and safe conditions for such access.
TESTS AND INSPECTIONS:
13.3 CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER and OWNER timely notice of readiness of Work for all
required inspections, tests or approvals.
13.4 Except as otherwise noted in the Agreement, if any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, code, or
order of any public body having jurisdiction requires any Work (or part thereof) to specifically be
inspected, tested, or approved, CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility therefore, pay all
costs in connection therewith, and furnish ENGINEER and OWNER the required certificates 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
ENGINEER'S acceptance of a manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor of materials or
equipment proposed to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials or equipment submitted for
approval prior to CONTRACTOR'S purchase thereof for incorporation of the Work. The cost of
all other inspections, tests, and approvals required by the Contract Documents shall be paid by
OWNER (unless otherwise specified).
13.5 Any inspections, tests, or approvals, other than those required by law, ordinance, rule, regulation,
code, or order of any public body having jurisdiction, shall be performed by organizations
acceptable to OWNER and CONTRACTOR (or by ENGINEER if so specified).
13.6 If any Work that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered without written concurrence of
ENGINEER and OWNER, it must, if requested by ENGINEER or OWNER, be uncovered for
observation. Such uncovering shall be at CONTRACTOR'S expense, unless CONTRACTOR
has given ENGINEER and OWNER timely notice of CONTRACTOR'S intention to cover such
Work and ENGINEER or OWNER has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such
notice.
13.7 Neither observations by ENGINEER or OWNER 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:
25
13.8 If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of ENGINEER or OWNER, it must, if
requested by ENGINEER or OWNER, be uncovered for ENGINEER’S and OWNER’s
observation and replaced at CONTRACTOR'S expense.
13.9 If ENGINEER or OWNER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by
ENGINEER or OWNER, or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at ENGINEER'S or
OWNER’s request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation,
inspection, or testing as ENGINEER or OWNER may require, that portion of the Work in
question, furnish all necessary labor, material, and equipment. If it is found that such Work is
defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all the expenses of such uncovering, exposure, observation,
inspection, and testing of satisfactory reconstruction, including compensation for additional
professional services, and an appropriate deductive change order shall be issued.
OWNER MAY STOP THE WORK:
13.10 If the Work is defective, or CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or suitable
materials or equipment, 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:
13.11 If required by ENGINEER or OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to
OWNER and as specified by ENGINEER or OWNER, either correct any defective Work,
whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by
ENGINEER or OWNER, remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective Work in a
manner acceptable to the ENGINEER and OWNER.
TWO YEAR CORRECTION PERIOD:
13.12 If, within two years after the date of Final Completion, or such longer period of time as may be
prescribed by law, or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract
Documents, or by any other 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, either correct such defective Work, or, if it has been rejected by
OWNER, remove it from the site, and replace it with non-defective 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 and indirect costs of such removal and
replacement, including compensation for additional professional services, shall be paid by
CONTRACTOR.
ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK:
13.13 If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and
prior to ENGINEERS recommendation of final payment) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do
so. In such case, if acceptance occurs prior to ENGINEER'S recommendation of final payment, a
change order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Price; or, if the
acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate amount shall be paid by
CONTRACTOR to OWNER.
26
OWNER MAY CORRECT DEFECTIVE WORK:
13.14 If CONTRACTOR fails, within a reasonable time after written notice of ENGINEER and
OWNER, to proceed to correct defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as
required by ENGINEER or OWNER in accordance with paragraph 13.11, or if CONTRACTOR
fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including any
requirements of the progress schedule), OWNER may, after seven (7) days written notice to
CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising its rights under this
paragraph OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. To the extent necessary to complete corrective
and remedial action, OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all 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 his rights under this paragraph. All direct and indirect
costs of OWNER in exercising such rights shall be charged against CONTRACTOR in an
amount verified by ENGINEER, and a change order shall be issued incorporating the necessary
revisions in the Contract Documents and a reduction in the Contract Price. Such direct and
indirect costs shall include, in particular but without limitation, compensation for additional
professional services required, 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 hereunder.
ARTICLE 14 – PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
SCHEDULES:
14.1 At least ten days prior to submitting the first application for a progress payment, CONTRACTOR
shall (except as otherwise specified in the general requirements) submit to ENGINEER and
OWNER a progress schedule, a final schedule of Shop Drawing submissions, and, where
applicable, a schedule of values of the Work. These schedules shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to ENGINEER and OWNER. The schedule of values shall include quantities and unit
prices aggregating the Contract Price, and shall subdivide the Work into component parts in
sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during construction. Upon acceptance
of the schedule of values by ENGINEER and OWNER, it shall be incorporated into a form of
application for payment acceptable to ENGINEER and OWNER.
APPLICATION FOR PROGRESS PAYMENT:
14.2 At least ten days before each progress payment falls due (but not more often than once a month),
CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER and OWNER 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, and also as ENGINEER or OWNER may reasonably require. 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 such data, satisfactory to OWNER, as will establish OWNER'S title
to the material and equipment, and protect OWNER'S interest therein, including applicable
27
insurance. Each subsequent application for payment shall include an affidavit of
CONTRACTOR stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the Work
have been applied to discharge in full all of CONTRACTOR'S obligations reflected in prior
applications for payment. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as
stipulated in the Agreement.
CONTRACTOR'S WARRANTY OF TITLE:
14.3 CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered
by any application for payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER
at the time of payment free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, and encumbrances
(hereafter in these General Conditions referred to as “Liens”).
REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS FOR PROGRESS PAYMENT:
14.4 ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of each application for payment, 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. OWNER shall, within twenty days of presentation to him of the
application for payment with ENGINEER'S recommendation, pay CONTRACTOR the amount
recommended.
14.5 ENGINEER'S recommendation of any payment requested in an application for payment will
constitute a representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that, based on ENGINEER'S on-site
observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional, and on
ENGINEER'S review of the application for payment, and the accompanying data and schedules,
the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of ENGINEER'S knowledge,
information, and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning Project upon substantial completion, and to
the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and any qualifications
stated in the recommendation); and, that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount
recommended. However, by recommending any such payment, ENGINEER will not thereby be
deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to
check the quality or the quantity of Work, or that the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and
procedures of construction have been reviewed, or that any examination has been made to
ascertain how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the monies paid or to be paid to
CONTRACTOR on account of the Contract Price, or that title to any Work, materials, or
equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any Liens.
14.6 ENGINEER'S recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by
ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR'S being entitled to
final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled.
14.7 ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole, or any part of any payment if, in its opinion, it
would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. ENGINEER may also refuse to
recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, or the results of
subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended to such extent
as may be necessary in ENGINEER'S opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:
28
14.7.1 the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement,
14.7.2 written claims have been made against OWNER, or liens have been filed in connection
with the Work,
14.7.3 the Contract Price has been reduced because of Modifications,
14.7.4 OWNER has been required to correct defective Work, or complete the Work in
accordance with paragraph 13.14,
14.7.5 of CONTRACTOR'S unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents, or
14.7.6 CONTRACTOR'S failure to make payment to Subcontractors, or for labor, materials, or
equipment.
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION:
14.8 When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, CONTRACTOR
shall, in writing to OWNER and ENGINEER, certify that the entire Work is substantially
complete, and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of substantial completion. Within a
reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an inspection
of the Work to determine the status of completion. If ENGINEER after conferring with OWNER
does not consider the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in
writing giving reasons therefor. If ENGINEER after conferring with OWNER considers the
Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative
certificate of substantial completion which shall fix the date of substantial completion. There
shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before
final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during
which he may make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or
attached list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not
substantially complete, ENGINEER will, within fourteen (14) days after submission of the
tentative certificate to OWNER, notify CONTRACTOR in writing stating his reasons therefor.
If, after consideration of OWNER’S objections, ENGINEER considers the Work substantially
complete, ENGINEER will, within said fourteen (14) days, execute and deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of substantial completion (with a revised tentative list of
items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as it
believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of
tentative certificate of substantial completion, OWNER and CONTRACTOR will mutually agree
upon the division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, and
insurance.
14.9 OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of
substantial completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete
or correct items on the tentative list.
PARTIAL UTILIZATION:
29
14.10 Use by OWNER of completed portions of the Work may be accomplished prior to substantial
completion of all the Work subject to the following:
14.10.1 OWNER, at any time, may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use
any part of the Work which OWNER believes to be substantially complete and which
may be so used without significant interference with construction of the other parts of the
Work. If CONTRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and
ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially complete, and request ENGINEER
to issue a certificate of substantial completion for that part of the Work. Within a
reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an
inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER
after conferring with OWNER considers that part of the Work to be substantially
complete, ENGINEER will execute, and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR, a
certificate to that effect, fixing the date of substantial completion as to that part of the
Work, attaching thereto a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final
payment. Prior to issuing a certificate of substantial completion as to part of the Work,
ENGINEER after conferring with OWNER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR
a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment
between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety,
maintenance, utilities, and insurance for that part of the Work which shall become
binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time of issuing the definitive
certificate of substantial completion as to that part of the Work, unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR shall have otherwise agreed in writing. OWNER shall have the right to
exclude CONTRACTOR from any part of the Work which ENGINEER has so certified
to be substantially complete, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access
to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
14.10.2 In lieu of the issuance of a certificate of substantial completion as to part of the work,
OWNER may take over operation of a facility constituting part of the Work, whether or
not it is substantially complete, if such facility is functionally and separately usable;
provided that prior to any such takeover, OWNER and CONTRACTOR have agreed as
to the division of responsibilities between OWNER and CONTRACTOR for security,
operation, safety, maintenance, correction period, heat, utilities, and insurance with
respect to such facility.
14.10.3 No occupancy of part of the Work, or taking over of operations of a facility will be
accomplished before the insurers providing the property insurance have acknowledged
notice thereof and in writing effected any changes in coverage necessitated thereby. The
insurers providing the property insurance shall consent by endorsement on the policy or
policies, but the property insurance shall not be cancelled or permitted to lapse on
account of any such partial use or occupancy.
FINAL INSPECTION:
14.11 Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the Work is complete, ENGINEER will 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 is incomplete or defective.
CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy such
deficiencies.
30
FINAL APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT:
14.12 After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of ENGINEER and
OWNER, and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
warranties, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents, three (3) complete bound
sets of required operations and maintenance manuals and instructions, two (2) sets of as built
drawings, to the extent not already furnished, one (1) copy of all corrected Shop Drawings,
satisfactory evidence that all payroll, material bills and other indebtedness with the Work have
been paid or otherwise satisfied, consent of surety to final payment and other documents, all as
required by the Contract Documents, and after ENGINEER and OWNER has indicated that the
Work is acceptable (subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.14), CONTRACTOR may make
application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final
application for payment shall be accompanied by all documentation called for in the Contract
Documents, and such other data and schedules as ENGINEER and OWNER may reasonably
require. Payment shall be processed in accordance with C.R.S. §§ 24-91-103 and 38-26-107.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CONTRACTOR will provide complete and legally effective lien
releases or waivers satisfactory to OWNER. In lieu thereof, and as approved by OWNER,
CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or releases in full; an affidavit of CONTRACTOR that the
releases and receipts include all labor, services, material, and equipment for which lien could be
filed, and that all payrolls, material, and equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected with
the Work, for which OWNER or his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or
otherwise satisfied; and consent of the surety, if any, to final payment. If any Subcontractor,
manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, or distributor fails to furnish a release or receipt in full,
CONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify
OWNER.
FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT AND ACCEPTANCE:
14.13 If, after conferring with OWNER and 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, all as required by Contract Documents, ENGINEER
and OWNER are satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR has fulfilled
all of his obligations under the Contract Documents, ENGINEER will, within ten days after
receipt of the final application for payment, indicate in writing his recommendation of payment,
and present the application to OWNER for payment. Thereupon, ENGINEER will give written
notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of
paragraph 14.15. Otherwise, ENGINEER will return the application 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. If the
application and accompanying documentation are appropriate as to form and substance, OWNER
shall, after receipt thereof, pay CONTRACTOR in accordance with the payment procedures set
forth in the Agreement, the amount recommended by ENGINEER.
CONTRACTOR’S CONTINUING OBLIGATION:
14.14 CONTRACTOR'S obligation to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents shall be absolute. Neither recommendation of any progress or final payment by
ENGINEER, nor the issuance of a certificate of substantial completion, nor any payment by
OWNER to CONTRACTOR under the Contract Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the
Work or any part thereof by OWNER, nor any act of acceptance by OWNER, nor any failure to
do so, nor the issuance of a notice of acceptability by ENGINEER pursuant to paragraph 14.13,
31
nor any correction of defective Work by OWNER shall constitute an acceptance of Work not in
accordance with the Contract documents or a release of CONTRACTOR'S obligation to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
WAIVER OF CLAIMS:
14.15 The making and acceptance of final payment shall constitute:
14.15.1 a waiver of all claims by OWNER against CONTRACTOR, except claims arising from
unsettled liens, from defective Work appearing after final inspection pursuant to
paragraph 14.11, or from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of
any special guarantees specified therein; however, it shall not constitute a waiver by
OWNER of any rights in respect of CONTRACTOR'S continuing obligations under the
Contract Documents; and
14.15.2 a waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than those previously
made in writing and still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 – SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
OWNER MAY SUSPEND WORK:
15.1 OWNER may, at any time and without cause, suspend the Work, or any portion thereof, for a
period of not more than ninety days, by notice in writing to CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER
which shall fix the date on which Work shall be resumed. CONTRACTOR shall resume the
Work on the date so fixed. CONTRACTOR may, at the OWNER'S sole discretion, be allowed
an increase in the Contract Price, or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly
attributable to any suspension, if it makes a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
15.2 Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:
15.2.1 if CONTRACTOR is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent,
15.2.2 if CONTRACTOR makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,
15.2.3 if a trustee or receiver is appointed for CONTRACTOR or for any of CONTRACTOR'S
property,
15.2.4 if CONTRACTOR files a petition to take advantage of any debtor’s act, or to reorganize
under the bankruptcy or similar laws,
15.2.5 if CONTRACTOR repeatedly fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen, or suitable
materials or equipment,
15.2.6 if CONTRACTOR repeatedly fails to make prompt payments to Subcontractors, or for
labor, materials, or equipment,
15.2.7 if CONTRACTOR disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders of any public
body having jurisdiction,
15.2.8 if CONTRACTOR disregards the authority of ENGINEER, or
32
15.2.9 if CONTRACTOR otherwise violates, in any substantial way, any provisions of the
Contract Documents,
OWNER may, after giving CONTRACTOR and his surety seven days written notice, terminate
the services of CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR from the site, and take possession of
the Work and of all CONTRACTOR'S tools, appliances, construction equipment, and machinery
at the site, and use the same to the full extent they could be used by CONTRACTOR (without
liability to CONTRACTOR for trespass or conversion), 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 finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case,
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished.
If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct and indirect costs of completing the
Work, including compensation for additional professional services, such excess shall be paid to
CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the
difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by OWNER shall be verified by ENGINEER and
incorporated in a change order, but in finishing the Work, OWNER shall not be required to obtain
the lowest figure for the Work performed.
15.3 Where CONTRACTOR'S services have been so terminated by OWNER, the termination shall not
affect any rights of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing, or which may thereafter
accrue. Any retention or payment of monies due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release
CONTRACTOR from liability.
15.4 Upon seven days written notice to CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER, OWNER may, without
cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, terminate the Agreement. In such case,
CONTRACTOR shall be paid for all Work executed and expenses sustained through the date of
termination.
CONTRACTOR MAY STOP WORK OR TERMINATE:
15.5 If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for a period of more than
ninety days by OWNER, or under an order of court or other public authority, or ENGINEER fails
to act on any application for payment within thirty days after it is submitted, or OWNER fails for
thirty days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR
may, upon seven (7) days written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, terminate the Agreement
and recover from OWNER payment for all Work executed through the date of termination.
ARTICLE 16 – MISCELLANEOUS
COMPUTATION OF TIME:
16.1 When any period of time is referred to in the Contract Documents by days, it shall be calendar
days and 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 shall be omitted from the computation.
GENERAL:
16.2 Should OWNER or CONTRACTOR suffer injury or damage to his person or property because of
any error, omission or act of the other party or of any of the other party’s employees or agents, or
33
others for whose acts the other party is legally liable, claim shall be made in writing to the other
party within a reasonable time of the first observances of such injury or damage.
16.3 The duties and obligations imposed by these General Conditions and the rights and remedies
available hereunder to the parties hereto, and, in particular, but without limitation, the warranties,
guarantees, and obligations imposed upon CONTRACTOR by paragraphs 6.38, 13.1, 13.11,
13.14, 14.3, and 15.2, and all of the rights and remedies available to OWNER and ENGINEER
thereunder, shall be in addition to, and shall not 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
law or contract, by warranty or guarantee, or by other provisions of this paragraph shall be as
effective as if repeated specifically in the Contract Documents in connection with each particular
duty, obligations, right and remedy to which they apply. All representations, warranties, and
guarantees made in the Contract Documents shall survive final payment and termination or

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Location
This project consists of roadway and intersection improvements on US 6 at Hillcrest Drive in Eagle
County, Colorado. The project is in the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 36 of Township 4 South, Range 83
West of the 6th P.M., Eagle County, Colorado. Figure 1 shows the project vicinity. This project is
adjacent to the Eagle River and runoff from the project will outfall to the Eagle River.
The project limits are approximately 0.5 miles along US 6 at Hillcrest Drive. The main project scope
involves roadway widening along US 6 and a new roundabout at the intersection of US 6 and Hillcrest
Drive. New storm sewer and a water quality vault are also proposed to accommodate these roadway
improvements.

Figure 1-2. Project Area
1.2 Description of Property
The project area consists of the intersection of US 6 and Hillcrest Drive and portions of US 6 and
Hillcrest Drive adjacent to the intersection. The surrounding area consists of the Mountain Life Calvary
Chapel and the St. Clare of Assisi Parish on the west of side of the project, undeveloped land in the
middle of the project area and commercial development at the east end of the project area. North of
US 6, the Eagle River flows from east to west and is the main outfall for the project area. The project
ties into existing conditions just south of the Hillcrest Drive Bridge over the Eagle River and
approximately ¼ mile east and west along US 6 from Hillcrest Drive.
There are no known irrigation facilities in the project area. See Table 1-1 for soils information in the
project area and on the offsite basins.

2. HYDROLOGY
2.1 Major Basins
The project is in the Eagle River major drainage basin and stormwater runoff will outfall to the Eagle
River. Eagle River has a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated floodplain as
identified on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) 08037C0419D, effective 12/4/2007. The regulatory
designated floodplain is identified as Zone AE with a floodway delineated. Outfalls from the proposed
storm sewer systems will require work in the FEAM designated floodplain, however, it is not anticipated
that the proposed work will cause a rise in the base flood elevations because no net fill is proposed.
According to the Eagle County Flood Insurance Study (FIS), effective December 4, 2007, Eagle River has
a drainage basin of approximately 402 square miles upstream of the project area with a 100-year flow of
5,430 cfs.

2.2 Minor Basins
2.2.1 Offsite Basins/Existing Basins
There are approximately 7 major offsite basins contributing flow to the project area and several smaller
offsite basins contributing flow to existing storm sewer systems. All these basins are south of the
project area and flow to the north. Most of the basins consist of undeveloped land with relatively steep
slopes ranging from 12 to 60 percent. Refer to Appendix A for the existing basin maps which show
both the existing basins in the project area and the offsite basins south of the project area.

2.2.2 Proposed Roadway Basins
There are 10 roadway basins based on the roadway design and the proposed storm sewer layout.
There are two low points on either side of the roundabout where the roadway transitions through a
normal crown to the roundabout sloping to the north. The eastern and western legs of the project
limits on US 6 drain toward the roundabout and then to the north.
Basins PA3, PA4, PA12, PA13 include the south side of the US 6 roadway from the western and eastern
project limits to the roundabout. These basins are all directed to the low points on the edge of the
roundabout.
Basins PA2 and PA10 include the north side of the US 6 roadway from the western and eastern project
limits to the roundabout. These basins are collected by on-grade inlets that are placed before the cross
walks on either side of the roundabout.
Basins PA6 and PA9 include the west and east sides of the roundabout and drain from the south to the
north.
Basins PA7 and PA8 include the Hillcrest roadway north of the roundabout. These basins drain to the
north and are collected by inlets that will replace existing inlets just south of the existing bridge.
Basin PA4 is the offsite basin south of the project area that drains to the cross-culvert under US 6 just
west of the roundabout.

3. DESIGN DISCUSSION
3.1 Regulations and Constraints
This study complies with CDOT Storm Drainage Criteria which includes utilizing parts of the Mile High
Flood District (MHFD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual when appropriate. The Eagle County
Land Use Regulations have also been referenced for this design.
3.2 Hydrologic Criteria
The Rational Method was used to calculate the peak runoff for the minor and major rainfall events for
the offsite and roadway basins. The minor event is the 10-year storm with a 1-hour rainfall intensity of
0.745 in/hr. The major event is the 100-year storm with a 1-hour rainfall intensity of 1.28 in/hr. These
values were obtained from NOAA Atlas 14, Volume 8, Version 2 for the project area.
3.3 Hydraulic Criteria
Spread Width
US 6 is classified as a major collector with a design speed of 50 miles per hour which decreases at the
roundabout approaches. The proposed improvements include curb and gutter and a varying typical
section. According to the CDOT criteria, the stormwater spread from the 10-year event should only
extend to the shoulder width assuming the shoulder width is 4 feet or wider. In cases where the
shoulder width is less than 4 feet, or there is no shoulder, 4 feet from the flowline will be considered for
the maximum spread. However, CDOT criteria also makes allowances for roadways with curb and
gutter and no shoulder or parking lane and relatively flat longitudinal slopes of 0.3% to 1%. In these
cases, flow may spread into the travel lane, however flow spread width must never exceed the lane
width adjacent to the gutter for the design conditions, which is the 10-year event in this case. Most of
the project longitudinal slope is less than 1% and spread into the adjacent travel lane may be considered
during final design as the storm sewer layout is finalized.
For the major, 100-year event, the allowable depth and inundation must not exceed the following
conditions:
US 6 West Edwards Hydrology and Hydraulics Report
Page 7
Residential dwellings, public, commercial, and industrial buildings must not be flooded at the
foundations unless the buildings are floodproofed.
The depth of water at the street crown on continuous-grade sections must not exceed 6 inches
to allow the passage of emergency vehicles.
The depth of water at the panline on continuous-grade sections must not exceed 18 inches.
Storm Sewer System
Inlets have been placed at roadway sumps and at logical locations like upstream of median breaks and
crosswalks. Inlets will also be placed approximately 10 feet upstream of superelevation transitions. The
MHFD UD-Inlet spreadsheet and CDOT nomographs were referenced for inlet capacity calculations.
Table 13.2 in the CDOT Drainage Manual was referenced for the clogging factor for inlets.
Twenty-four-inch minimum pipe diameter is assumed for the storm drains. SewerGEMs was used to
analyze the storm sewer system in regards to velocity and pipe capacity.
Allowable Headwater
Cross-culverts in the project area will adhere to the CDOT criteria regarding allowable headwater
elevations. Specifically, Section 9.2.2 of the CDOT Drainage Criteria manual was referenced for
allowable headwater limitations and Table 9.3 was used to determine the maximum headwater depth to
structure depth ratio of 2.0 for structures less than 36 inches and 1.7 for structures between 36 inches
and 60 inches.
Water Quality
The project is adjacent to Eagle River and improvements are proposed within 100 feet of the river.
According to Eagle County’s Land Use Regulations, Section 4-650, stormwater is not allowed to
discharge directly to a natural water body without first either being treated or by sheet flow across at
least 100 feet of stable vegetation. A water quality vault is proposed to treat the 2-year flow from the
majority of the roadway basins in the project area of 1.6 cfs. The water quality vault will be required to
bypass the 100-year peak flow of 4.8 cfs.
3.4 Variances from Criteria
No variances from criteria are proposed at this time or expected during final design.
4. RECOMMENDED DESIGN
4.1 General Concept
Proposed drainage patterns will remain as close to historic patterns as possible with Eagle River as the
ultimate outfall. Off-site flow will be captured either in existing storm sewer systems adjacent to the
project area or captured in a cross culvert and directed to Eagle River. The majority of the project area
will be treated in a water quality vault before discharging to the Eagle River. Hydraulic calculations are
included in Appendix B of this report. The hydraulic design will be within the allowable limits as stated
in the CDOT Drainage Manual.
The existing Hillcrest Drive Bridge over Eagle River will not be impacted by this project and work is not
anticipated in the Eagle River at the Bridge. There will be outfalls with rundowns directed to the Eagle
River which will require work in the floodplain and on the banks of the river.
US 6 West Edwards Hydrology and Hydraulics Report
Page 8
4.2 Specific Details
Runoff from the proposed improvements will be captured in Type 16 inlets placed on the west and east
legs of the roundabout and at the north project limits on Hillcrest Drive. These inlets are all tied into
the same proposed storm sewer system (Line C) that will collect and convey the roadway runoff to the
northwest corner of the new roundabout. The storm sewer will flow through a water quality vault
before discharging to the Eagle River.
There is one cross culvert (Line A) in the project area directing offsite flows from the south side of the
project to the north to discharge to the Eagle River. This in existing drainage pattern with the existing
cross-culvert being upsized to meet the capacity criteria of passing the 100-year flow.
There is another cross culvert (Line B) on the south side of the roundabout directing flows from east to
west. These flows are made up of roadway runoff and offsite flow from the south that combine in an
existing roadside ditch on the south side of US 6. The proposed roundabout pushes the existing ditch
further south and decreases the ditch size due to the proximity of a steep hill on the south side of the
project. The existing ditch size was further decreased because an existing 2-track road has been
regraded south of the roundabout to maintain access through the property south of US 6. A 30”x19”
elliptical pipe allows low flows in the drainage ditch to flow under the 2-track road. The 100-year flows
will pass from the east to the west using the elliptical pipe and overtop the 2-track road to flow to Line
A and then discharge to the Eagle River.
The headwater elevations for both Lines A and B were checked to ensure they were below the curb
and gutter elevation of US 6 and the roundabout so there will be no overtopping of US 6 in the major
event.
5. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The estimated disturbance area is approximately 2.4 acres. Stormwater management plans following the
CDOT standards have been provided in the final plan set. The final SWMP plans in the construction
plan set are to be followed by the contractor. These sheets will address various grading, erosion, and
sedimentation issues and project area requirements.

Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long-duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

1 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our subsurface exploration program and geotechnical
engineering recommendations for the US 6 West Edwards Improvement Design project (the
Project) located in Edwards, Colorado (refer to Figure 1). The report summarizes our
subsurface explorations and laboratory testing, discusses regional geology and potential
geological hazards within the project area, and provides geotechnical recommendations for
construction. Our services were conducted in general accordance with our proposal to
Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU), dated July 30, 2019. Under this agreement we:
Performed a subsurface investigation, including observation and logging of five borings,
obtaining permits, completing utility locates, and coordinating traffic control;
Completed geotechnical laboratory tests on retrieved soil samples;
Evaluated geologic hazards;
Evaluated site conditions with respect to proposed construction;
Provided recommendations for geotechnical and pavement design aspects of the project;
and
Prepared this report.
The scope of our services did not include any environmental assessment or evaluation
regarding the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic materials in the soil,
surface water, groundwater, or air, on or below the site; or construction issues (e.g., disposal
or restoration) related to these considerations. If a service is not specifically indicated in this
report, do not assume it was performed.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of FHU, other members of the team, Eagle
County, and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). We understand this
report will be used for the design of the proposed interchange improvements. This report
should not be used for other purposes without Shannon & Wilson’s review. The opinions
and recommendations provided in this report should not be made available for use by
others or for purposes other than those described herein.

2 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The limits of the Project along US 6 extend from 1,000 feet west of the Hillcrest Drive
intersection to 1,500 feet east of the intersection (refer to Figure 2). The proposed Project
will replace the current three‐way, stop‐sign controlled intersection at Hillcrest Drive with a
single lane roundabout. Alternatives will be considered to best accommodate vehicular,
bicycle, and pedestrian movements at the intersection. Included in the work is removal of
the existing intersection, possible road realignments, utility relocations, and earthwork. The
alignment of US 6 is parallel to the Eagle River, located approximately 60 feet south at its
closest proximity.
We understand the proposed improvements may require roadway cuts up to 6 feet below
existing grade. A cut retaining wall is proposed along the south side of the road, west of the
proposed roundabout. The wall is anticipated to be a cast‐in‐place (CIP) concrete wall with
a maximum exposed height of 4 feet.
3 FIELD EXPLORATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTING
Shannon & Wilson conducted a subsurface exploration program on July 1, 2020 to explore
conditions beneath the existing US 6 road. Our subsurface exploration program consisted of
drilling and sampling five borings, designated SW‐01 through SW‐05. Refer to Figure 2 for
locations of our subsurface explorations. Borings SW‐01 and SW‐05 were drilled adjacent to
the existing pavement and borings SW‐02 through SW‐04 were drilled through the existing
pavement. Appendix A presents a discussion of the drilling, sampling, and testing
procedures used in completing the borings. Appendix A also presents the individual
exploration logs and an explanation of the symbols and terminology used.
Geotechnical laboratory tests were performed on selected samples retrieved from the
borings to determine index and engineering properties of the materials encountered in the
proposed work areas. Laboratory testing included natural water content, grain size
distribution, liquid and plastic Atterberg limits determinations, percent fines, and R‐value.
The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix B along with a brief discussion of the
laboratory testing procedures and results. The natural water contents, Atterberg limits, and
percent fines are also indicated on the individual boring logs in Appendix A. DRAFT

4 REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE
CONDITIONS
We based our understanding of the geology and subsurface conditions at the Project site on
our review of regional geologic maps and information presented in geotechnical reports
published by others near the project. In general, the subsurface materials consisted of fill,
native soil, and bedrock of the Eagle Valley Formation and Eagle Valley Evaporite (see
Figure 3). Specifically, geologic mapping by Lidke (2008) indicates that surficial soils along
the alignment predominantly consist of Holocene to middle Pleistocene‐age
undifferentiated alluvium and colluvium. The material is described as interfingered stream
channel, flood‐plain, fan, sheetwash, and colluvial deposits.
4.1 Bedrock
The Project is situated on the eastern edge of the Eagle Basin within the central portion of
the Rocky Mountains. The project area is mapped as being underlain by the Eagle Valley
Formation and the Eagle Valley Evaporite, both Pennsylvanian in age. The Eagle Valley
Formation is noted by gray and reddish‐gray siltstone, shale, sandstone, carbonate rocks,
and local lenses of gypsum. The Eagle Valley Evaporite contains gypsum, anhydrite, and
interbedded siltstone and minor amounts of dolomite (Tweto and others, 1978). We did not
encounter bedrock during our explorations.
4.2 Asphalt
Borings SW‐02 through SW‐04 were all drilled in US 6 and encountered 7.5 to 9 inches of
asphalt. Base course was not encountered beneath the asphalt in any of the borings.
4.3 Overburden
Overburden was encountered in all of the borings and consisted of fill and alluvium. Fill
was encountered in all of the borings drilled along US 6, at the surface or directly beneath
the asphalt. The fill extended to depths of 4 to 7 feet or to the termination of the boring. The
fill generally consisted of medium dense to dense, silty to clayey sand and gravel.
Undivided alluvium and colluvium was encountered in borings SW‐01, SW‐03, SW‐04, and
SW‐05 beneath the fill and extended to the bottom of each boring. The undivided alluvium
and colluvium consisted of loose to dense, silty to clayey sand with varying amounts of
gravel; medium stiff, sandy lean clay; overlying very dense gravel with varying amounts of
silt and sand in the borings that extended below a depth of 7 feet. DRAFT

Geotechnical and Pavement Design Report
101726-200 April 2021

4.4 Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in any of the borings during drilling. Due to the
proximity of the Project site to the Eagle River, groundwater levels can be anticipated to
correspond closely to the level of water in the river. Fluctuations in the river and
groundwater levels due seasonal variation, flooding, and precipitation are likely.
5 GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
Based on our study of available geologic information, our reconnaissance and our
knowledge of the geology of the area, there are geologic hazards along the Project
alignment. The hazards that may impact roadway improvements are described below.
5.1 Seismic Hazards
Colorado is comprised of areas of low to moderate potential for damaging earthquakes. It is
not possible to accurately estimate the timing or location of future earthquakes, because the
occurrence of earthquakes is relatively infrequent and the historical earthquake record in
Colorado is short (about 140 years). The nearest active fault to the site is the Frontal Fault,
located approximately 25 miles east of Edwards. The Frontal Fault is north‐northwest
striking and primarily a high angle, normal fault located approximately 30 miles east of the
Project. It forms the eastern margin of the Gore and Tenmile Ranges. Based on geomorphic
features along the fault trace, this fault is suspected to have been active less than 130,000
years ago based on geomorphic features along the fault trace (Widmann, 1997). Because of
the distance from the site to this fault, the potential for ground surface fault rupture along
the alignment is low.
Liquefaction may occur in loose, saturated, cohesionless soils when subjected to earthquake
ground shaking. Based on the blowcounts and the relatively low peak ground acceleration
(PGA) for this area, it is our opinion that the risk of liquefaction is low. Design
considerations for seismic design are discussion in Section 6.2.
5.2 Swelling Soil and Bedrock
Many of the soil/rock formations in Colorado are susceptible to volume change by
swelling/shrinking. This geologic phenomenon has the potential to cause substantial
damage to lightly loaded structures (such as pavements and short retaining walls) when
exposed to water. Subsurface conditions encountered in the existing explorations generally
consisted of granular soils, which are not swell‐susceptible. One thin layer of fine‐grained DRAFT

material was encountered near the ground surface, but in our opinion, there is likely a low
swell potential along the Project alignment.
5.3 Evaporite Dissolution and Subsidence
Large areas of Colorado are underlain by Mesozoic and/or Paleozoic evaporate deposits
(White, 2012). As stated by White (2012), the evaporite bedrock, which contains evaporative
minerals, can dissolve in the presence of fresh water. The dissolution of such rocks can alter
the ground and surface water flows, and create subsurface voids such as caverns, open
fissures, and solution pipes. Subsidence of the ground surface and sinkhole openings are a
geologic hazard. Based on White (2012), the Project site is within the Eagle Collapse Center
and is in the center of an evaporate bedrock zone. Additionally, subsidence maps (White,
2012) indicate there are multiple sinkholes within the Project extents.
Based on our review of the available data and the reported presence of nearby sinkholes,
there is potential for evaporite‐related subsidence at the Project site. However, identifying
subsurface voids before they develop into sinkhole features is challenging. Subsurface
explorations (borings) can be utilized, but borings only sample a relatively small cross‐
sectional area at discrete points, and it is possible for conditions to vary between borings.
Geophysical methods can be implemented to characterize conditions on a laterally
continuous basis, but in our experience, interpreting the results of geophysical surveys is
often challenging and highly subjective.
To the extent that voids are identified, mitigation to reduce the likelihood of sinkholes
developing could consist of filling the voids with grout. However, in our experience
detailed mapping and mitigation of sinkholes is often not cost effective for roadway
improvement projects such as this, when the costs of the investigation and mitigation are
considered relative to the project costs and consequences of potential roadway settlement.
As such, more cost‐effective mitigation is likely to consist of maintaining positive surface
drainage.
5.4 Collapse-Prone Soils
The occurrence of collapsible soils (soils that rapidly settle upon the introduction of water)
in semi‐arid regions of Western Colorado is well documented (White and Greenman, 2008).
White and Greenman (2008) indicated that surficial colluvial deposits and debris flow
sediments are prone to collapse. Because of rapid deposition (usually during storm events)
and subsequent drying, these soils commonly exhibit loose, open structures with low
moisture contents. These soils may also be derived from evaporite bedrock with a high
gypsum content that can dissolve on wetting and contribute to collapse. DRAFT
US 6 West Edwards Improvement Design
Geotechnical and Pavement Design Report
101726-200 April 2021

Mapping by White and Greenman (2008) indicates several case histories of collapsing soils
in the vicinity of the Project site. Additionally, geologic mapping (Lidke, 1998) indicates the
presence of undivided alluvium and colluvium along the alignment. This material is
described as being evaporite‐rich and susceptible to collapse and piping‐related (internal
erosion) subsidence. As such, there is potential for collapse‐related settlement to affect the
Project.
5.5 Corrosive Soil
The soil encountered at the project site can be corrosive to substructure elements. To assist
in estimating the corrosion potential at the site, a sample was tested for pH, resistivity,
water soluble sulfates, and chlorides. The results are presented in Exhibit 5‐1 and in Table
B‐1 in Appendix B.

ohm-cm = ohm-centimeter
The resistivity measured in the sample was 5,900 ohm‐centimeters. Based on correlations
developed by Roberge (2012), this value suggests moderately corrosive subsurface
conditions for metal in contact with subsurface materials across the site.
The concentration of water‐soluble sulfates measured in the sample was 0.38% by
weight. Criteria in the CDOT Standard Specifications (CDOT, 2019) indicate the above
sulfate contents require Class 2 cementitious materials. CDOT Standard Specifications also
specify Class S2 sulfate resistance for all concrete structures to protect against potential
sulfate attack. Based on the corrosion test results and the above specifications, we
recommend Class S2 sulfate resistance for the proposed CIP wall. DRAFT

6 GEOTECHNICAL AND PAVEMENT DESIGN
6.1 Design Criteria
We understand the selected wall will likely be a CIP retaining structure. All walls should be
designed and constructed in accordance with AASHTO (2020) and the CDOT LRFD Bridge
Design Manual (CDOT, 2020).
6.2 Design Ground Motion Parameters
Using the AASHTO (2020) criteria and based on subsurface conditions encountered in our
borings along the proposed wall alignment (assuming that similar conditions are present
from the maximum depth of our boring to a depth of 100 feet), Site Class D is

6.3 Global Stability
The proposed wall will have a maximum exposed height of about 4 feet. Global stability
analyses indicate that the wall will meet the minimum factor of safety (FS) specified in the
CDOT Geotechnical Design Manual (GDM) (2017), assuming the recommendations herein
are incorporated into the wall design. For walls not supporting structural elements, the
GDM specifies a minimum FS of 1.3 for static long‐term drained conditions, 1.1 for
construction conditions, and 1.1 for pseudo‐static seismic conditions.
6.4 Backfill Materials and Design Parameters
We recommend backfilling the selected retaining structure with CDOT Class 1 Structure
Backfill in the 1H:1V (horizontal to vertical) zone extending from a point 1.5 feet behind the
heel of the CIP wall. Recommended design parameters for CDOT Class 1 Structure Backfill
are provided below. We assume the walls will be able to deflect 1/1000th the wall height
(0.001H) to develop active earth pressure conditions. Based on a review of available
documents, the backslope inclination angle is anticipated to vary between horizontal and
2H:1V across the wall alignment. Active earth pressure coefficients have been provided for
varied backslope inclinations.

6.5 Groundwater and Drainage
Based on conditions encountered in the subsurface explorations, we anticipate that
groundwater will be located more than 10 feet below the base of the proposed wall.
Nevertheless, surface water can make its way into the wall backfill, regardless of the
permeability of the backfill. The provided earth pressures assume no water pressure. DRAFT
US 6 West Edwards Improvement Design
Geotechnical and Pavement Design Report
101726-200 April 2021

Therefore, we recommend providing drainage measures that reduce the potential for water
to accumulate in the backfill and for hydrostatic pressures to act on the wall face.
We understand the design team will utilize inlets and storm drains to manage project
surface water. The design team also discussed using a detention pond to collect surface
water. We did not perform any geotechnical borings for potential ponds. As discussed in
Section 5.4, there are potential collapsible soils within the project vicinity. Utilizing inlets
and controlling surface water to promote positive drainage is the preferred alternative to
reduce the risk of introducing new moisture regimes and inducing the collapse of soils.
6.6 Wall Embedment
AASHTO (2020) indicates that CIP wall footings be embedded below the frost depth. Based
on requirements from Eagle County Building Codes (Town of Eagle 2020), we recommend
an embedment of 4 feet below final grade for the CIP wall.
As an alternative to embedding the wall below the frost depth for frost protection, the wall
could be embedded 18 inches and the wall subgrade over‐excavated to 4 feet below
surrounding grade and backfilled with non‐frost susceptible (NFS) fill (granular fill with
less than 5% fines, such as CDOT Filter Material). To prevent clogging of the NFS material
with the native clay subgrade material, the NFS material should be wrapped with a
geosynthetic separator fabric. Bearing and Sliding Resistance
We anticipate that the walls will be founded on medium dense, silty or clayey sand
subgrade. We recommend a nominal bearing resistance of 7 ksf. AASHTO (2020)
recommends a resistance factor 0.45 for CIP walls to be applied to the nominal bearing
resistance for the Strength Limit State. For the extreme event, a nominal resistance factor of
1.0 should be used. The bearing resistance value assumes a footing embedment of at least
18 inches and a minimum footing width of 3 feet.
Sliding resistance of the selected wall type can be evaluated assuming a friction angle of 29
degrees for the native silty or clayey sand subgrade material. Per AASHTO (2020), a
resistance factor of 0.85 should be applied for sliding analysis of CIP walls. For the extreme
event, a resistance factor of 1.0 should be used.
6.7 Surcharge Loads
Surcharge loads such as traffic and construction equipment will induce lateral loads on
retaining walls. While not anticipated for this project, lateral loads due to various types of
surcharges may be calculated by using the loading diagrams provided in Figure 4 and the
earth pressure coefficients provided in Section 6.4. DRAFT

6.8 Pavement Design
Pavement design for proposed improvements to US 6, roundabout, and portions of Hillcrest
Drive are based on the procedures outlined in the 2020 Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) M‐E Pavement Design Manual (PDM) (2019a) using Version 2.3.1 of
the AASHTOWare Pavement M‐E Design (Pavement M‐E) software (AASHTO, 2013).
Based on information provided in the CDOT Online Transportation Information System
(OTIS) database (2020), we understand US 6 and roundabout pavements are to be designed
to a ‘major collector’ level performance criteria identified in tables Table 2.4 and 2.6 of the
PDM. For Hillcrest Drive, the same performance criteria was used for design as US 6. (Note
the design criteria in CDOT Table 2.4 and 2.6 do not vary between major collectors and local
roads.) Further, based on the relatively urban nature of the site, a reliability index of 90%
was selected for design.
6.8.1 Traffic Loading
To perform a mechanistic‐empirical (M‐E) pavement design, detailed traffic loading
information is required for the analysis. Specifically, a design average annual daily truck
traffic (AADTT) and a distribution of truck vehicle type is required.
For our analysis, we reviewed the available information provided in OTIS (CDOT, 2020) as
well as the Project traffic study prepared by FHU (2019) assessing traffic patterns for the
proposed roundabout configuration. The information available in the OTIS database
consists of a 2018 traffic study, which indicates a constant AADTT value of 390 trucks per
day in the project limits. In general, the 2018 traffic study projects a higher truck traffic
volume along US 6 than indicated in the FHU study, but the FHU traffic study does provide
a traffic distribution breakdown of vehicles accessing the roundabout. Exhibit 6‐3
summarizes the design traffic loading and various analysis distribution factor used in our
pavement analysis. We used the OTIS traffic loading assessing the east‐ and west‐legs of the
roundabout with the traffic projections from FHU for Hillcrest Drive (roundabout north‐leg)
and the likely distribution of traffic loading accessing the roundabout. Appendix C contains
our calculations and the assumptions made of how the below traffic loading was
determined.

NOTE:
A paving date of 2022 is anticipated.
Annually compounded.
AADTT = Average Annual Daily Truck Traffic; mph = Miles Per Hour; No. = Number
The 2018 OTIS traffic study also indicates the distribution of single‐unit (vehicle classes 4
through 7) and combination trucks (vehicle classes 8 through 13) is approximately 69% and
31%, respectively. A more detailed breakdown of truck distributions is not available from
the OTIS database, but CDOT does provide guidance regarding the distribution truck
vehicle types. Based on guidance in Table 3.6 of the PDM, we selected ‘Cluster 1’ which
distributes approximately 62.9% and 37.1% of the AADTT to single‐unit and combination‐
unit trucks, respectively.
6.8.2 Pavement Subgrade Conditions
The subgrade strength for the Project was evaluated by using Hveem stabilometer (R‐value)
test results. A bulk sample from surficial, silty sand (AASHTO soil classification A‐1‐b) was
tested from boring SW‐03 and resulted in an R‐value of 77. We understand portions of the
roadway grades will be lowered and our explorations indicate a more cohesive soils such as
clayey sand (AASHTO soil classifications A‐2‐6) and sandy lean clayey (AASHTO soil
classifications A‐6) could be exposed below the pavements. For our analysis, we assumed
the majority of the exposed pavement subgrade will consist of A‐2‐6 soils.
The design subgrade strength was determined from a correlation from R‐value to resilient
modulus developed by CDOT and provided in the PDM, but the CDOT correlation limits
the R‐value to a value of 50. For design, we used this limiting R‐value of 50 and the
corresponding subgrade resilient modulus of 10,000 pounds per square inch in our
pavement analysis. If lean clays are encountered during excavation, we recommend a
minimum overexcavation of 24 inches and replacement with R‐value of 50 sand. We
recommend assuming overexcavation will be required over 20 percent of lowered grade
areas for cost estimating purposes. For areas where the roadway will be raised, placed fill
under the roadway section should meet the soil properties above. DRAFT

7 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicability of the design recommendations provided in this report is contingent on
good construction practice. Poor construction techniques may alter conditions from those
on which our recommendations are based, therefore resulting in reduced bearing capacity,
increased settlement, and pavement distress. The following sections present additional
construction and material considerations for this project.
7.1 Site Preparation
We recommend that brush and other vegetation be cleared, and roots and stumps be
removed from all areas to be graded. Any existing surficial topsoil and any soil containing
organics should be stripped and removed. The depth of this removal is anticipated to be
less than 6 inches along the wall alignment. Topsoil and organic‐rich soils are not
considered suitable for reuse as fill and should be removed from the site. DRAFT
US 6 West Edwards Improvement Design
Geotechnical and Pavement Design Report
101726-200 April 2021
13
Care should be taken to avoid disturbing subgrade soils and supporting soils that will
remain in place, as they can rut and pump under repeated construction traffic. The final
subgrade surface should be sloped to promote positive drainage.
7.2 Excavation
We anticipate that excavation for the proposed construction will occur in surficial soil. In
general, we anticipate that it will be feasible to excavate the overburden material at the site
using conventional excavating equipment, such as a hydraulic excavator.
7.3 Subgrade Preparation for Walls
Proper subgrade preparation is required for adequate performance of retaining wall
foundations. In fill or at‐grade areas, the exposed surface should be cleared, stripped, and
proof‐rolled in accordance with the CDOT Standard Specifications (CDOT, 2019b). Where
proof rolling is not feasible (e.g., constrained excavations), the subgrade should be probed to
evaluate its suitability. The exposed subgrade should then be scarified to a depth of 8
inches and compacted to a hard/dense and unyielding condition and to at least 95% of the
maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T180 for granular soils or AASHTO T99
for cohesive soil.
Any areas that are delineated to be soft, loose, or yielding during proof‐rolling should be
removed and replaced with CDOT Class 1 Structure Backfill. These areas should be over‐
excavated and replaced with CDOT Class 1 Structure Backfill to achieve a passing proof roll.
We recommend a maximum over‐excavation depth of 2 feet. If soft or yielding soils are
encountered after over‐excavating 2 feet, a geogrid (Tensar biaxial BX1300, Tensar triaxial
TX5, or equivalent) should be installed at the base of the over‐excavation before backfilling.
7.4 Fill Materials, Placement, and Compaction
Wall backfill materials should consist of CDOT Class 1 Structure Backfill. All fill materials
should be placed and compacted in accordance with the CDOT Standard Specifications
(CDOT, 2019b). Compaction of backfill adjacent to walls can result in higher lateral earth
pressures against the wall. Heavy equipment should stay behind a line extending upward
from the base of the walls at 0.5H:1V, or 3 feet from the wall, whichever is greater. The
backfill within this zone should be compacted with hand‐operated equipment.

7.5 Paving Materials
7.5.1 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
The HMA mix design should be in accordance with CDOT and Superpave standards and be
in accordance with CDOT Section 401 from the most recent CDOT Standard Specification
(2019b). Based on the binder selection procedure provided in the 2020 PDM is based on the
anticipated pavement temperatures, traffic patterns, and local availability. The CDOT
specifies the use of software developed by the FHWA Long Term Pavement Performance
(LTPP) Bind (2020) to determine appropriate binder for each improvement segment.
Appendix C provides the output from the LTPP Bind software which indicates that a
performance grade (PG) 58‐34 binder is appropriate for all HMA paving lifts of the Project.
We recommend using a Grade SX mix for upper‐most lift and Grade S for lower lifts. For
the Grade SX mix, CDOT recommends that lift thickness range between 1‐1/2 and 3 inches;
for the Grade S mix CDOT recommends a lift thickness between 2‐1/4 and 3‐1/2 inches.
Based on the anticipated traffic loading and the elevation of the site, we recommend a
Superpave design gyratory number (N) of 75 be used for mix design of the pavement. In
addition, a tack coat should be placed between subsequent lifts if the underlying lift is left
uncovered for greater than 24 hours.
7.5.2 Portland Cement Concrete (PCC)
We recommend using CDOT Concrete Class P from the most recent CDOT Standard
Specification (2019b).
7.5.3 Aggregate Base Course (ABC)
We recommend using CDOT Class 6 ABC from the most recent CDOT Standard
Specification (2019b). ABC material should be placed in maximum 6‐inch‐thick lifts and
compacted to a dense and unyielding condition and to at least 95% of the maximum dry
density (AASHTO T180).

A-1APPENDIX A: SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS A.1 INTRODUCTION
Shannon & Wilson’s field exploration program was conducted on July 1, 2020, and consisted
of drilling five borings designated SW‐01 through SW‐05 at the locations shown on Figure 2.
The methods used to conduct the field exploration program are described below.
A.2 EXPLORATIONS
The borings were coordinated (including subcontractor coordination, utility locates, and
traffic control) and observed by a representative from Shannon & Wilson. The boring logs
are presented in Figures A‐2 to A‐6. The exploration logs represent our interpretation of the
contents of the field log and select results of laboratory testing. The borings were drilled by
Vine Laboratories, Inc. of Commerce City, Colorado (under subcontract to Shannon &
Wilson) using a CME 55 truck mounted drill rig. The borings were advanced to depths of
approximately 5.5 to 14.5 feet using 4‐inch‐outside‐diameter (O.D.) solid‐stem auger. Upon
completion of drilling, borings were backfilled with flowfill mixed on site and borings SW‐
02 through SW‐04 were patched with asphalt.
A.2.1 Soil Classification System
During drilling, our representative collected samples and prepared field logs of the
explorations. Soil classification for this project was based on ASTM D2487, Standard
Practice for Classification of Soils for Engineering Purposes (Unified Soil Classification
System), and ASTM D2488, Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils
(Visual‐Manual Procedure). Soils were also classified using the AASHTO Soil Classification
System based on AASHTO Standard M 145. The Unified Soil Classification System is
summarized in Figure A‐1.
A.2.2 Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
Disturbed samples were obtained in the borings in general accordance with the Standard
Penetration Test (SPT) (ASTM Designation: D1586). The SPT consists of driving a 2‐inch‐
outside‐diameter (O.D.), 1.375‐inch I.D. split‐spoon sampler 18 inches. An automatic, free‐
falling 140‐pound hammer was used to advance the split spoon sampler. The energy
transfer ratio for the hammer on the CME 55 truck mounted rig was 83%, dated July 15,
2019, provided by Vine Laboratories. During sampling, the Shannon & Wilson field
representative recorded the number of blows for each 6‐inch increment of penetration and
summed the blow counts for the last two 6‐inch increments. This sum is recorded as the
penetration resistance number, or N‐value. If high penetration resistance prevented driving DRAFT

Geotechnical and Pavement Design Report
101726-200 April 2021
A-2APPENDIX A: SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS the total length of the sampler, the Shannon & Wilson field representative recorded the
partial penetration depth and blow count. The N‐values provide a means for evaluating the
relative density or compactness of cohesionless (granular) soils and consistency or stiffness
of cohesive (fine‐grained) soils (see Figure A‐1). The raw N‐values are shown on the
individual boring logs. Representative portions of the split‐spoon sample obtained in
conjunction with the SPT were placed in a screw‐top plastic jar and transported to our
laboratory.
A.2.3 Modified California (MC) Test and Sampling
Samples were also obtained using a Modified California (MC) barrel sampler. The MC test
procedure is similar to the SPT, except the sample barrel is larger (2½‐inch O.D.) and lined
with 2‐inch‐diameter brass tubing. The MC sampler is only driven 12 inches. During
sampling, the Shannon & Wilson field representative recorded the number of blows for each
6‐inch increment of penetration. As a result of the larger diameter, the MC sampler yields
slightly higher raw blow count numbers when compared to SPT N‐values for similar soils.
Because the difference in blow counts does not significantly impact our evaluation, we used
the field MC blow counts over the 12‐inch increment to define the relative density and
consistency/stiffness of the subsurface materials following SPT terminology. Representative
samples were sealed in the brass liner tubes with plastic caps and transported to our
laboratory for further testing.
A.2.4 Bulk Sampling
Approximately 20 to 30 pounds of cuttings from each location were placed in a plastic bag
and transported to our laboratory for further evaluation and testing. The bulk samples are
composite samples sometimes spanning over several soil layers. The UCSC classification of
the composite bulk samples has not been incorporated into the boring logs for this reason. DRAFT

1. Dual symbols (symbols separated by a hyphen, i.e., SP-SM, Sand
with Silt) are used for soils with between 5% and 12% fines or when
the liquid limit and plasticity index values plot in the CL-ML area of
the plasticity chart. Graphics shown on the logs for these soil types
are a combination of the two graphic symbols (e.g., SP and SM).
2. Borderline symbols (symbols separated by a slash, i.e., CL/ML,
Lean Clay to Silt; SP-SM/SM, Sand with Silt to Silty Sand) indicate
that the soil properties are close to the defining boundary between
two groups.

B-1APPENDIX B: LABORATORY TEST RESULTS B.1 INTRODUCTION
Laboratory tests were completed on soil samples retrieved from the borings in general
accordance with American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) methods. The laboratory
testing program was performed to classify the materials into similar geologic groups and
provide data that can be used for design of the project. The geotechnical laboratory testing
was performed at our in‐house laboratory in Denver, Colorado and at Vine Laboratories in
Commerce City, Colorado, and included index tests and geotechnical engineering property
tests. A summary of the laboratory test results is presented in Table B‐1. The following
sections describe the laboratory testing procedures.
B.2 GEOTECHNICAL TESTS
B.2.1 Water Content
Water content was determined for selected samples in general accordance with AASHTO
T265, Laboratory Determination of Moisture Content in Soils. To perform this test, a sample
was weighed before and after oven‐drying, and the water content was calculated. Water
content determinations are shown graphically on the boring logs and are also summarized
in Table B‐1. A water content test was taken on each sample.
B.2.2 Grain Size Analysis
The grain size distribution of selected samples was determined in general accordance with
AASHTO T88, Standard Test Methods for Particle‐Size Distribution (Gradation) of Soils
Using Sieve Analysis. Results of these analyses are presented as grain size distribution
curves by boring number series on Figure B‐1 and summarized in Table B‐1.
Selected samples were tested for the percentage of material passing the No. 200 sieve in
general accordance with AASHTO T11, Standard Method of Test for Materials Finer than
75‐μm (No. 200) Sieve in Mineral Aggregates by Washing. The percent fines (silt‐ and clay‐
sized particles passing the No. 200 sieve) are shown graphically on the boring logs in
Appendix A and are also summarized in Table B‐1.
B.2.3 Atterberg Limits
Soil plasticity was determined by performing Atterberg limits tests on selected fine‐grained
samples. The tests were completed in general accordance with AASHTO T89, Standard Test DRAFT

101726-200 April 2021
B-2APPENDIX B: LABORATORY TEST RESULTS Method for Determining the Liquid Limit of Soils and AASHTO T90, Standard Test Method
for Determining the Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index of Soils. The Atterberg limits include
liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and plasticity index (PI equals LL minus PL) and are
generally used to assist in classification of soils, to indicate soil consistency (when compared
to natural water content), and to provide correlation to soil properties. The results of the
Atterberg limits tests are plotted on a plasticity chart on Figure B‐2, shown graphically on
the boring logs in Appendix A, and summarized in Table B‐1.
B.2.4 R-Value
One Hveem Staboilometer (R‐value) test was completed by Vine Laboratories, Inc., of
Commerce City, Colorado on a bulk subgrade sample. The test was completed in general
accordance with ASTM D2844, Standard Method of Test for Resistance R‐value and
Expansion Pressure of Compacted Soils. The R‐value test result is summarized in Table B‐1
and presented on Figure B‐3. DRAFT

4. TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
Operational analyses will be conducted for existing and year 2045 conditions based on procedures
documented in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 6th Edition (Transportation Research Board, 2016).
It is anticipated that the following chapters of the HCM could be used to analyze specific operational
conditions:
Chapter 18 – Urban Street Segments
Chapter 19 – Signalized Intersections
Chapter 20 – Two-Way Stop Controlled Intersections
Chapter 22 – Roundabouts
Chapter 23 – Ramp Terminals and Alternative Intersections
Highway Capacity Software (HCS) and Synchro, will be used to conduct operational analyses.
Roundabout analyses will also be conducted using Sidra and Rodel for comparison purposes.
HCM 6th Edition analysis procedures require the use of certain parameters, summarized in Table 1.

5. SAFETY ISSUES
Available CDOT crash data for the most recent five complete years will be analyzed to identify crash
concentrations and trends within the study area. Locations showing elevated crash experience will be
noted and reviewed to identify crash type and severity patterns within the study area and how to
address them with project improvements.

Recommended Range for Reliability
The reliability is a factor of safety to account for the inherent variations in construction, materials,
traffic, climate, and other design inputs. Table 2.3 Reliability (Risk)provides the recommended
values for the pavement structure to survive the design period traffic. Reliability values
recommended for use in previous editions of the AASHTO Design Guide should not be used with
M-E Design. Reliability is not dependent on either type of pavement or type of project.

Pavement, Table 2.6 Recommended Threshold Values of Performance Criteria for
Rehabilitation Projects of Flexible Pavements and Table 2.7 Recommended Threshold
Values of Performance Criteria for Rehabilitation Projects of Rigid Pavements provide the
threshold values recommended in M-E Design for pavements. M-E Design also requires the
designer to enter the expected initial smoothness (IRI) at the time of construction. It is
recommended to use an initial IRI value of 61 inches/mile for all HMA projects and 78
inches/mile for all PCC projects as they reflect targets that are documented using smoothness
data from flexible and rigid pavements constructed between 2011 and 2016.It is recommended
the same reliability value be used for all distresses; any changes should have Region
Materials and Staff Materials approval.

Level 2 Inputs
The designer must input a single value of design Mr. Two approaches are available for Level 2
design subgrade Mr:
•Laboratory Resilient Modulus: The design Mr may be obtained through laboratory
resilient modulus tests conducted in accordance with AASHTO T 307, Determining
the Resilient Modulus of Soils and Aggregate Materials. Subgrade design Mr should
reflect the range of stress states likely to be developed beneath flexible or rigid
pavements subjected to moving wheel loads. Therefore, the laboratory measured Mr
should be adjusted for the expected in-place stress state for use in M-E Design software.
Stress state is determined based on the depth at which the material will be located
within the pavement system (i.e., the stress states for specimens to be used as base or
subbase or subgrade may differ considerably).
•CDOT Resilient Modulus, R-value Correlation: The design Mr may be obtained
through correlations with other laboratory tested soil properties such as the R-value.
Equation Eq. 4-1 gives an approximate correlation of resistance value (R-value) to Mr.
This equation is valid only for AASHTO T 190 procedure. If the R-value of the
existing subgrade or embankment material is estimated to be greater than 50, a FWD
analysis or resilient modulus by AASHTO T 307 should be performed. CDOT uses
Hveem stabilometer equipment to measure strength properties of soils and bases. This
equipment yields an index value called the R-value. The R-value is considered a static
value and the Mr value is considered a dynamic value.
Mr = 3438.6 * R0.2753 Eq. 4-1
Where:
Mr = resilient modulus (psi)
R = R-value obtained from the Hveem stabilometer
This equation should be used for R-values of 50 or less. Research is currently being done for soils
with R-values greater than 50. The Hveem equipment does not directly provide resilient modulus
values, rather, it provides the R-value which is then used to obtain an approximation of resilient
modulus from correlation formulas.
The M-E Design software allows the designer to estimate Mr using other soil properties (see
Figure 4.5 M-E Design Software Screenshot for Level 2 Resilient Modulus Input).
•California Bearing Ration (CBR)
•R-value
•Layer coefficient (ai)
•Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) Penetration
•Plasticity Index (PI) and gradation (i.e., percent passing No. 200 sieve)

7.5 Select the Appropriate Reliability Level for the Project
Table 2.3 Reliability (Risk) presents recommended reliability levels for rigid pavement designs.
The designer should select an appropriate reliability level based on highway functional class and
location (see Figure 7.3 M-E Design Screenshot Showing General Information, Performance
Criteria, and Reliability).
7.6 Assemble the M-E Design Inputs
7.6.1 General Information
7.6.1.1 Design Period
The design period for new rigid pavement construction and reconstruction is 20 or 30 years.
It is recommended a 30-year design period be used for rigid pavements.Selection of a design
period other than 10, 20, or 30 years needs to be supported by a LCCA or other overriding
considerations.

About Your Geotechnical Report DRAFT

Geotechnical and Pavement Design Report
101726-200 April 2021
II-1IMPORTANT INFORMATION IMPORTANT INFO HEADING
CONSULTING SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND FOR
SPECIFIC CLIENTS.
Consultants prepare reports to meet the specific needs of specific individuals. A report prepared for
a civil engineer may not be adequate for a construction contractor or even another civil engineer.
Unless indicated otherwise, your consultant prepared your report expressly for you and expressly for
the purposes you indicated. No one other than you should apply this report for its intended purpose
without first conferring with the consultant. No party should apply this report for any purpose other
than that originally contemplated without first conferring with the consultant.
THE CONSULTANT’S REPORT IS BASED ON PROJECT-SPECIFIC FACTORS.
A geotechnical/environmental report is based on a subsurface exploration plan designed to consider
a unique set of project‐specific factors. Depending on the project, these may include the general
nature of the structure and property involved; its size and configuration; its historical use and
practice; the location of the structure on the site and its orientation; other improvements such as
access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities; and the additional risk created by
scope‐of‐service limitations imposed by the client. To help avoid costly problems, ask the consultant
to evaluate how any factors that change subsequent to the date of the report may affect the
recommendations. Unless your consultant indicates otherwise, your report should not be used
(1)when the nature of the proposed project is changed (for example, if an office building will be
erected instead of a parking garage, or if a refrigerated warehouse will be built instead of an
unrefrigerated one, or chemicals are discovered on or near the site); (2) when the size, elevation, or
configuration of the proposed project is altered; (3) when the location or orientation of the proposed
project is modified; (4) when there is a change of ownership; or (5) for application to an adjacent site.
Consultants cannot accept responsibility for problems that may occur if they are not consulted after
factors that were considered in the development of the report have changed.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE.
Subsurface conditions may be affected as a result of natural processes or human activity. Because a
geotechnical/environmental report is based on conditions that existed at the time of subsurface
exploration, construction decisions should not be based on a report whose adequacy may have been
affected by time. Ask the consultant to advise if additional tests are desirable before construction
starts; for example, groundwater conditions commonly vary seasonally.
Construction operations at or adjacent to the site and natural events such as floods, earthquakes, or
groundwater fluctuations may also affect subsurface conditions and, thus, the continuing adequacy
of a geotechnical/environmental report. The consultant should be kept apprised of any such events
and should be consulted to determine if additional tests are necessary.
MOST RECOMMENDATIONS ARE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENTS.
Site exploration and testing identifies actual surface and subsurface conditions only at those points
where samples are taken. The data were extrapolated by your consultant, who then applied
judgment to render an opinion about overall subsurface conditions. The actual interface between
materials may be far more gradual or abrupt than your report indicates. Actual conditions in areas DRAFT

II-2IMPORTANT INFORMATION not sampled may differ from those predicted in your report. While nothing can be done to prevent
such situations, you and your consultant can work together to help reduce their impacts. Retaining
your consultant to observe subsurface construction operations can be particularly beneficial in
this respect.
A REPORT’S CONCLUSIONS ARE PRELIMINARY.
The conclusions contained in your consultant’s report are preliminary, because they must be based
on the assumption that conditions revealed through selective exploratory sampling are indicative of
actual conditions throughout a site. Actual subsurface conditions can be discerned only during
earthwork; therefore, you should retain your consultant to observe actual conditions and to provide
conclusions. Only the consultant who prepared the report is fully familiar with the background
information needed to determine whether or not the report’s recommendations based on those
conclusions are valid and whether or not the contractor is abiding by applicable recommendations.
The consultant who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or liability for the adequacy
of the report’s recommendations if another party is retained to observe construction.
THE CONSULTANT’S REPORT IS SUBJECT TO MISINTERPRETATION.
Costly problems can occur when other design professionals develop their plans based on
misinterpretation of a geotechnical/environmental report. To help avoid these problems, the
consultant should be retained to work with other project design professionals to explain relevant
geotechnical, geological, hydrogeological, and environmental findings, and to review the adequacy of
their plans and specifications relative to these issues.
BORING LOGS AND/OR MONITORING WELL DATA SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED
FROM THE REPORT.
Final boring logs developed by the consultant are based upon interpretation of field logs (assembled
by site personnel), field test results, and laboratory and/or office evaluation of field samples and data.
Only final boring logs and data are customarily included in geotechnical/environmental reports.
These final logs should not, under any circumstances, be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or
other design drawings, because drafters may commit errors or omissions in the transfer process.
To reduce the likelihood of boring log or monitoring well misinterpretation, contractors should be
given ready access to the complete geotechnical engineering/environmental report prepared or
authorized for their use. If access is provided only to the report prepared for you, you should advise
contractors of the report’s limitations, assuming that a contractor was not one of the specific persons
for whom the report was prepared, and that developing construction cost estimates was not one of
the specific purposes for which it was prepared. While a contractor may gain important knowledge
from a report prepared for another party, the contractor should discuss the report with your
consultant and perform the additional or alternative work believed necessary to obtain the data
specifically appropriate for construction cost estimating purposes. Some clients hold the mistaken
impression that simply disclaiming responsibility for the accuracy of subsurface information always
insulates them from attendant liability. Providing the best available information to contractors helps
prevent costly construction problems and the adversarial attitudes that aggravate them to a
disproportionate scale. DRAFT

II-3IMPORTANT INFORMATION READ RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSES CLOSELY.
Because geotechnical/environmental engineering is based extensively on judgment and opinion, it is
far less exact than other design disciplines. This situation has resulted in wholly unwarranted claims
being lodged against consultants. To help prevent this problem, consultants have developed a
number of clauses for use in their contracts, reports, and other documents. These responsibility
clauses are not exculpatory clauses designed to transfer the consultant’s liabilities to other parties;
rather, they are definitive clauses that identify where the consultant’s responsibilities begin and end.
Their use helps all parties involved recognize their individual responsibilities and take appropriate
action. Some of these definitive clauses are likely to appear in your report, and you are encouraged
to read them closely. Your consultant will be pleased to give full and frank answers to your
questions.
