25. Access to Work and Other Contractors. The Commission and its
engineers, agents and employees may at any time and for any
purpose enter upon the work and the premises used by the
Contractor, and the Contractor shall provide proper and safe
facilities therefor. Other contractors of the Commission may also
when so authorized by the Engineer, enter upon the work and the
premises used by the Contractor for all the purposes which may be
required by their contracts. Any differences or conflicts which
may arise between this Contractor and other contractors of the
Commission in regard to their work shall be adjusted and
determined by the Engineer.
26. The Contract. It is understood and agreed by the City and the
Contractor that the terms of this contract are embodied and
included in the Advertisement, Information and Instructions to
Bidders, Proposal, Specifications of every nature, the Bond and
the contract drawings hereto attached.
These few articles have been given as examples of some of the essential
subjects to be treated in general specifications. It is to be understood
that these examples do not represent a complete set of general
specifications and items have been omitted the absence of which in a
complete contract might be injurious to the successful completion of the
work.
=114. Technical Specifications.=—These ordinarily follow the general
specifications and have to do with the quality of materials, the manner
of putting them together, and the method of doing the work. The subject
headings in the Technical Specifications on the Baltimore Sewerage
Commission are:
Excavation
Tunneling
Rock Excavation
Sheeting
Sheet Piling
Sheeting and Bracing
Piles
Blasting
Pumping and Drainage
Foundations
Refilling
Repaving
Underdrains
Buildings
Inlets and Catch-Basins
Cement
Mortar
Concrete
Brick
Masonry
Reinforced Concrete
Vitrified Pipe
Concrete and Brick Sewers
Vitrified Pipe Sewers and Drains
Manholes
Iron Castings
House Connections
Obstructions
Fences
Flush-Tanks
Each of these subjects is treated in the appropriate section of this
book.
An important part of each section of the technical specifications is the
clause providing for the method of payment for the work specified. This
is usually the last clause in the section. For example, the last clause
in the Baltimore Specifications relating to Rock Excavation, is:
“Payment will be made for the number of cubic yards of rock
measured and allowed as above specified at the price of four
dollars and fifty cents ($4.50) per cu. yd., measured in place.
Payment for rock excavation will be made in addition to the prices
bid for excavation.”
