104SCOPE OF WORK

New Hampshire Department of Transportation Standard Specifications – 2016

104.01Intent of Contract

The intent of the Cont ract is to provide for the construction and completion in every detail of the work it describes. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, services, and supplies required to complete the Work under the Contract.

104.02Revisions to the Contract

The Department reserves the right to revise the Contract at any time. Revisions to the Contract neither invalidate the Contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the Work as revised. The Contractor shall not proceed with the revised Work until directed to do so by the Engineer, but shall continue with all work unaffected by the revision. Nothing contained in this section shall constitute a waiver of the State’s sovereign immunity. If the Contractor believes that it has encountered circumstances that necessitate a revision to the Contract, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer in accordance with subsection 104.02.G. If the Contractor believes it has encountered a Differing Site Condition as set forth in 104.02.B , Significant Changes in the Character of Work as set forth in 104.02.C , or Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer as set forth in 104.02.D , the Contractor shall provide notice as required by these clauses and as required by 104.02.G . Failure to provide notice as specified in 104.02.G constitutes a waiver of the Contractor’s entitlement to compensation or a time extension and releases the State from responsibility for providing compensation or a time extension for any related claims filed under 105.18. If the Engineer concludes that the Contract should be revised, as provided in 104.02.G .4, compensation will be provided in accordance with 109.04, and time extensions will be granted in accordance with 108.07. In addition, the term “ adjustment” as used in 104.02.B, C, and D is defined as a time extension in accordance with 108.07 and compensation in accordance with 109.04. In 104.02.C, the phrase, “ as provided elsewhere in the Contract,” means as provided in 108.07 with regard to time extensions and in 109.04 with regard to compensation. With regard to 104.02.D , Suspensions of Work, an adjustment is provided for suspensions or delays “ caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the Contractor, its suppliers, or Sub-Contractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather.” The Contractor is also not entitled to an adjustment for suspensions or delays caused by the reasons set forth in 108.07.B, Excusable, Non-Compensable Delays. The Department may revise the Contract for any of the reasons specified in 104.02.B. Differing Site Conditions; C. Significant Changes in the Character of Work; D. Suspension of Work; E. Extra Work, or F. Elimination of Work. Sections 104.02.B, C, and D contain wording mandated by FHWA. As the terms “ modification” or “ change” are used in them they shall mean a Revision to the Contract.

During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the Project Site differing materially from those indicated in the Contract or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the Contract, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed. Upon written notification, the Engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditio ns materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost and/or time required for the performance of any work under the Contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. The Engineer will notify the Contractor of the determination as to whether or not an adjustment of the Contract is warranted. No Contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the Contractor will be allowed unless the Contractor has provided the required written notice. No Contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work.

The Engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the Project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not inv alidate the Contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the work as altered. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the Contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the ch aracter of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the Contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the Contractor in such amount as the Engineer may determine to be fair and equitable.

New Hampshire Department of Transportation Standard Specifications – 2016 If the alterations or changes in quantities do not signifi cantly change the character of the work to be performed under the Contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the Contract. The term ‘‘significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:

proposed construction; or

75 percent of the original Contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original Contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed.

If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the Engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the Contractor believes that additional compensation and/or Contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment. Upon receipt, the Engineer will evaluate the Contractor’s request. If the Engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the Contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the Contractor , its suppliers, or Subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the Engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the Contract in writing accordingly. The Contractor will be notified of the Engineer’s determination whether or not an adjustment of the Contract is warranted. No Contract adjustment will be allowed unless the Contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed. No Contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this Contract.

If the Contractor believes that it has been required to perform work not originally in the Co ntract but found to be essential for the completion of the Contract, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in accordance with 104.02.G. Failure to provide notice as specified in 104.02.G constitutes a waiver of the Contractor’s entitlement to compensation or a time extension and releases the State from responsibility for providing compensation or a time extension for any related claims filed under 105.18 . If the Engineer determines that Extra Work is required, the Engineer will compensate the Contractor for the Extra Work in accordance with 109.04. Time extensions, if warranted, will be determined in accordance with 108.07.

The Department may partially or completely eliminate Contract Pay Items. When notified of the elimination of a Contract Pay Item, if the Contractor believes that such el imination will necessitate a revision to the Contract Amount, the Contractor shall provide notice in accordance with 104.02.G . Failure to provide notice as specified in 104.02.G constitutes a waiver of the Contractor’s entitlement to compensation or a time extension releases the State from responsibility for providing compensation or a time extension for any related claims filed under 105.18. The Department will reimburse the Contractor for the actual Work completed in accordance with 109.04.

discovering a circumstance that the Contractor believes will require a revision to the Contract. Upon notification, the Engineer will attempt to resolve the identified issue as quickly as possible. No further work is to be performed or expense incurred related to the alleged revision unless directed otherwise in writing by the Engineer.

The replacement material shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. The Engineer may prohibit excavation below the planned limits if such excavation and subsequent backfilling will cause damage, additional exp ense, loss of time or loss of structural integrity. Material shall not be excavated or removed from within the highway Right-of-Way that is not within the grading limits without written authorization from the Engineer. Material authorized to be removed ou tside the grading limits may be subject to compensation from the Contractor at an agreed price at the time of authorization. Replacement material covered under 104.04 shall be compacted to the density requirements specified for roadway embankment construction. It is expressly understood that the Contractor is not entitled to compensation for anticipated profits on the expected use of any materials shown on the Plans as existing and later found to be nonexistent or unfit for use. Unless otherwise provided, the material from any structures scheduled for demolition or removal may be used temporarily by the Contractor in the erection of the new structure. Such material shall not be modified or otherwise damaged without approval. Unless otherwise specified herein, or except as stated in Sections 202 and 502, the Contractor shall not take title to structures found on the highway.

105.01Authority of the Engineer

The Engineer will decide all questions regarding the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work performed, the rate of progress of the Work, the interpretation of the Contract, and the acceptable fulfillment of the Contract by the Contractor. The Engineer will suspend the Work, wholly or in part, for such periods as may be necessary due to the Contractor’s failure to correct conditions unsafe for the Project personnel or general public, or carry out provisions of the Contract, or carry out orders of the Engineer. Work may also be wholly or partially suspended for periods necessary due to existing or forecasted unsuitable weather, or for conditions considered unsuitable for the prosecution of th e Work such as hazardous materials, directives of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Air Resources Division, implementing emergen cy episode procedures, or any other condition or reason deemed to be in the Department’s interest. For suspensions due to these causes, refer to 104.02.D Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer.

105.02Plans and Working Drawings

Working drawings consisting of details that are not included in the Plans but required for the Work shall be furnished to the Department. Manufacturer’s Engineering data for prefabricated material, including that for falsework and forms, shall be furnished with each set of working drawings. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for approval or documentation the required Working Drawings. Copies of any calculations required to prepare the Working Drawings shall be furnished wi th the drawings. The Working Drawings shall be furnished well in advance of the Work to allow the Engineer time to review or distribute the working drawings. Any work done or materials ordered for work shown on the working drawings prior to approval or distribution of the drawings shall be at the Contractor’s risk. Working Drawings for Approval. Working drawings submitted for approval shall include, but not be limited to; the following: • shop fabrication drawings (3 sets), • bending diagrams when required for reinforcing steel (3 sets), • Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (4 sets), • Detour Plans*, Contractor Designed (3 sets), or any other working drawings where approval is required by the Contract. *The Contractor may propose detours not shown on the Plans. The Contractor shall submit proposed detour plans in triplicate for approval, which shall show the proposed location, layout, grade, typical cross section, protective fixtures and signing. The Contractor shall submit the required sets of working drawings for approval to the Engineer for review. The Engineer will be allowed up to fifteen (15) working days for review of each submission. If the Engineer has not responded to the Contractor after fifteen working days, the Contractor shall contact the Engineer to inquire about the status of the submittal. If the Engineer requires more time for review and the Contractor believes that it is entitled to an extension of the Contract Time due to this additional review time, the Contractor shall request a time extension and proceed as required by 104.02 and 108.07. A delay caused by additional time required for review is a Noncompensable Delay. Each resubmission including requests for additional information will be treated as a new submission and may require up to fifteen (15) working days for review by the Engineer. The fifteen working days will begin upon arrival at the Bureau of Construction’s main office. The review will be considered complete when the date and status has been placed on the submittal. One set of the drawings will be returned to the Contractor marked approved or with corrections to be made. After approval has been given, the Contractor shall supply the Engineer with six sets, or seven sets if a design consultant is involved in the project, of the revised Working Drawings. Working Drawings for Documentation. Working drawings submitted for documentation shall include, but are not limited to the following, unless otherwise noted in the Contract: • Progress Schedules, • temporary bridge plans, • removal of existing bridge structure plans, • cofferdam plans, • water diversion structure plans, • plans of precast elements to be designed by the Contractor, • erection plans, • temporary support systems,
