100-38 Section 105 — Control of Work
105.1 Authority of the RCE 1 Unless otherwise specified elsewhere in these S pecifications, the RCE will decide all questions that may arise regarding the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, the work performed, and the rate of progress of the work; the interpretation of the Plans and Specifications; acceptable fulfillment of the Contract by the Contractor; disputes and mutua l rights between Contractors; and compensation for the work. The RCE will determine the amount and quantity of the several kinds of work performed and materials furnished that are to be paid for under the Contract. 2 The RCE has the authority to suspend or direct the work by written order , wholly or in part, or to withhold further payments to the Contractor for failure to correct unsafe conditions for its workers or the general public; for failure to carry out provisions of the Contract; for failure to carry out orders of the RCE; for peri ods as the RCE deems necessary due to unsuitable weather; or for conditions considered unsuitable for the prosecution of the work . No additional compensation is paid or extension of t ime granted to the Contractor because of such suspensions of work. 3 The RCE is not authorized to increase the obligation of the Department under the Contract except as herein provided. 105.2 Design Plans, Shop Plans, and Working Drawings 1 The Design Plans (the Plans) are furnished by the Department and consist of drawings that show details necessary to provide a comprehensive idea of the construction work contemplated. Road Plans will normally show the roadway alignment, profile, grades, and typical cross sections. In general, Structure Plans will show the general details and dimensions of the structure work contemplated. In cases where dimensions are not shown, the Structure Plans show general features and details necessary to provide a comprehensive idea of the structure. The drawings for bridges provide sufficient information to enable the Contractor to determine the work contemplated, but the RCE reserves the right to have the Plans supplemented with Construction Plans, Erection Plans, or Working Drawings by the Contractor . 2 The information contained in the Plans regarding the results obtained from test piles or borings is a record of the conditions revealed by fieldwork and shows conditio ns that were encountered at the place where the test piles were driven or the borings made, as nearly as those conditions could be interpreted by the inspector observing the operations. The Contractor is not bound to accept or rely on this data. The Contractor may make additional borings and investigations, including test piles, as desired t o determine or obtain satisfaction
