The Contractor agrees that, from the compensation otherwise to be paid, the Owner may retain the sum of $250.00 for each calendar day after the Date of Substantial Completion that the work remains incomplete. This sum is agreed upon as the proper measure of Liquidated Damages which the Owner will sustain per diem by the failure of the Contractor to complete the work at the time stipulated in the Contract. This sum is not to be construed in any sense a penalty. C. The paving construction must be phased in such a way that allows the Owner bus access to the existing bus parking. 1.07 CONTRACTOR USE OF PREMISES A.

Skill: Patch and extend existing work using skilled mechanics who are capable of matching the existing quality of workmanship. The quality of patched or extended work shall not be less than that specified in the sections of the product and execution specifications which follow these general requirements. B. Patching: 1. In areas where any portion of an existing finishing surface is damaged, lifted, stained, or otherv.ise made or found to be imperfect, patch or replace the imperfect portion of the surface with matching material. 2. Provide adequate support or substrate for patching of finishes. · 3. If the imperfect surface was a painted or coated one, re-paint or re-coat the patched portion in such a way that uniform color and texture over the entire surface results. · 4. If the surrounding surface cannot be matched, re-paint or re-coat the entire surface. C. Quality: 1. In the sections of the product and execution of specifications which follow these general requirements, no concerted attempt has been made to describe each of the various existing products that must be used to patch, match, extend or replace existing work. Obtain all such products in time to complete the work on schedule. Such products shall be provided in quality which is in no way inferior to the existing products. 2. The quality of the products that existing in the buildings, as apparent during pre-bid site visits, shall serve as the specification requirement for strength, appearance, and other characteristics. D. Transitions: 1. Where new work abuts or finishes flush with existing work, make the transition as smooth and workmanlike as possible. Patched work shall match existing adjacent work in texture and appearance so as to make the patch or transition invisible to the eye. 2. Where masonry, or other finished surface is cut in such a way that a smooth transition with new work is not possible, terminate the existing surface in a neat fashion along a straight line at a natural line of division and provide trim appropriate to the finished surface. 3. Where two or more spaces are indicated to become one space, rework floors and ceilings so that horizontal planes, without breaks, steps or bulkheads result 4. In cases of extreme change of level (3" or more), obtain instructions from Architect as to method of making transition. Either stepping, bulkheading, encasement, ramping, sloping or change of transition line shall be employed, or a combination of these, as directed in each case by the Architect. E. Matching: 1. Restore existing work that is damaged during construction to a condition equal to its condition at the time of the start of the work. 2. At locations in existing areas where partitions are removed, patch the floors, walls, and ceilings with finish materials to match adjacent finishes. 3. Finish patches to produce uniform finish and texture over entire area. When finish cannot be matched, refinish entire surface to nearest intersections. 3.06 REPAIR A. Replace work damaged in the course of alterations, except at areas approved by the Architect for repair. B. Where full removal of extensive amounts of almost-suitable work would be needed to replace damaged portions, then filling, spackling, straightening, and similar repair techniques, foHowed by full painting or other finishing, will be permitted.

Whenever the formwork is removed during the curing period, the exposed concrete shall be cured. 2. Re-shoring: When re-shoring is permitted orrequired, the operations shall be planned in advance and shall be subject to review. Re-shoring for the purpose of early form removal shall be performed so that at no time will large areas of new construction be required to support their own weight. While re-shoring is under way, no live loads shall be permitted on the new construction. Re-shores shall be tightened to carry their required loads, but they shall not be over-tightened so that the new construction is over-stressed. Re-shores shall remain in place until the concrete has reached its specified 28-day strength and while weights or loads in excess of design live loads are imposed. 3.

Full depth of treatment shall be 6 inches and full width shall be the entire area to be paved between points and lines located one foot beyond pavement edges. C. Placing Lime: Add lime to the scarified material of 6" depth of compacted subgrade as directed by the Owner's soils engineer. Apply lime mixed with water to form a slurry. Spread lime only on that area where mixing operations can be completed during the same working day. Provide lime stabilization for specific soil conditions as follows: VLK Architects, 2008 SOIL STABILIZATION 31 3200 -1 2781 .00 Transportation Facility Parking Addition College Station Independent School District College Station, Texas 1.

Granular subgrade soils of low plasticity (Pk7), stabilize soil with Class C fly ash at a rate of 12 percent as measured by the dry weight of soil. D. The stabilized layer should extend at least 2 feet beyond the curb or pavement edge. E. Mixing: Mix the soil and lime thoroughly with suitable road mixers or other approved equipment until a homogeneous, friable mixture is obtained free from clods and lumps. Aerate or sprinkle the mixture as necessary to secure the optimum moisture content. Necessary optimum moisture content shall be between optimum and 4% wet of optimum. F. Curing: Allow the mixture to cure for a period of from 48 to 72 hours. During the curing period keep the material moist. G.
