3. Duties of the Engineer. The Engineer shall make all necessary
explanations as to the meaning and intentions of the
specifications and shall give all orders and directions, either
contemplated therein or thereby, or in every case in which a
difficulty or unforeseen condition shall arise in the performance
of the work. Should there be any discrepancies in or between, or
should any misunderstanding arise as to the import of anything
contained in the plans and specifications, the decision of the
Engineer shall be final and binding. Any errors or omissions in
plans and specifications may be corrected by the Engineer, when
such corrections are necessary for the proper fulfillment of their
intentions as construed by him.
4. Duties of the Contractor. The Contractor shall do all the work
and furnish all the labor, materials, tools and appliances
necessary or proper for performing and completing the work
required by the contract, in the manner called for by the
specifications, and within the contract time. He shall complete
the entire work at the prices agreed upon and fixed therefor to
the satisfaction of the Commission and its Chief Engineer and in
accordance with the specifications, the drawings, and such
detailed drawings as may be furnished from time to time, together
with such extra work as may be required for the performance of
which written orders may be given and received as hereinafter
provided.
The Contractor shall place sufficient lights on or near the work
and keep them burning from twilight to sunrise; shall erect
suitable railings, fences or other protections about all open
trenches, and provide all watchmen on the work, by day or night,
that may be necessary for the public safety. The Contractor shall,
upon notice from the Engineer that he has not satisfactorily
complied with the foregoing requirements, immediately take such
methods and provide such means and labor to comply therewith as
the Engineer may direct, but the Contractor shall not be relieved
of this obligation under the contract by any such notice or
directions given by the Engineer, or by neglect, failure, or
refusal on the part of the Engineer to give such notice and
directions.
The Contractor shall furnish such stakes and the necessary labor
for driving them as may be required by the Engineer. He shall
maintain the stakes when set, with reasonable diligence, and
stakes misplaced due to the carelessness of the Contractor or his
workmen shall be reset under the direction of the Engineer, at the
Contractor’s expense.
