CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS Water Main Replacement “Y” – Ph 1 Div 1 – GENERAL REQMTS March 2024 Work Order No. UP 3814 SP-112 Each working day shall be charged to the Contract as it occurs, beginning on the effective date of the Notice to Proceed, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, until the Contract Work is physically complete. Each week the Engineer will provide the Contractor a statement that shows the number of working days: (1) charged to the Contract the week before; (2) specified for the physical completion of the Contract; and (3) remaining for the physical completion of the Contract. The statement will also show the nonworking days and partial or whole day the Engineer declares as unworkable. Within 14 calendar days after the date of each statement, the Contractor shall file a written protest of any alleged discrepancies in it. To be considered by the Engineer, the protest shall be in sufficient detail to enable the Engineer to ascertain the basis and amount of time disputed. By not filing such detailed protest in that period, the Contractor shall be deemed as having accepted the statement as correct. If the Contractor elects to work ten hours a day and four days a week (a 4-10 schedule) and the fifth day of the week in which a 4-10 shift is worked would ordinarily be charged as a working day then the fifth day of that week will be charged as a working day whether or not the Contractor works on that day. The Engineer will give the Contractor written notice of the Physical Completion Date for all Work the Contract requires. That date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the Contract, but shall not imply the City’s acceptance of the Work or the Contract.

The following events must occur before the Completion Date can be established: 1. The physical Work on the project must be complete; and 2.
