INTENT The work to be done consists of furnishing all labor, materials, methods and processes, implements, tools, equipment, incidentals and machinery except as otherwise specified, which are necessary and required to complete the contract in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner. The intent of the plans and specifications is to prescribe the details for the construction and completion of the work which the Contractor undertakes to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. Where the plans or specifications describe portions of the work in general terms, but not in complete detail, it is understood that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only materials and workmanship of the best quality are to be used. CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK Changes and extra work shall be in accordance with Section 4-1.05, Changes and Extra Work, of the Standard Specifications. The Engineer reserves the right to make such alterations, deviations, additions to or omissions from the plans and specifications, including the right to increase or decrease the quantity of any item or portion of the work or to omit any items or portion of the work, as may be deemed by the Engineer to be necessary or advisable, and to require such extra work as may be determined by the Engineer to be necessary for the proper completion or construction of the whole work contemplated. When special conditions arise, such as mitigation of unforeseen conditions or additional work, the work shall be negotiated as “extra work” in accordance with the Standard Specifications. Approved Change Orders shall describe the changes or extra work, contract time adjustments and payment basis for such work as applicable. Change Orders are valid contract amendments when approved and signed by the City and Contractor. All changes and extra work must be negotiated and approved before the work is performed. The City may require the Contractor to work outside approved construction hours noted in Part IV, Construction Procedure. For work done during these times, when required by the City, payment to the Contractor may be adjusted per General Prevailing Wage Rate provisions. CLEANUP All work sites shall be kept as clear of equipment, material and waste material as is practicable at all times. The City of Monterey and/or government Representative shall make the determination that this requirement is being complied with. If the City is required to provide cleanup of the work sites due to failure of the Contractor to so provide, or in case of emergency, the City shall charge the Contractor the actual cost of labor and materials and may deduct said costs from any monies due and owing the Contractor. Upon completion and before making application for acceptance of the work, the Contractor shall clean the street and/or other areas of work, and all ground occupied by him in connection with the work, of all rubbish, excess materials, temporary structures, and equipment, and all parts of the work shall be left in a neat and presentable condition.
