CITY OF DECATUR SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION 105. CONTROL OF WORK 105.07 Cooperation with Utilities. Revise the fourth paragraph of subparagraph(a)of this Article to read: "The Contractor shall be responsible for requesting all utility owners to field locate their facilities which may interfere with construction operations in both horizontal and vertical alignment. The utility owners are to be given reasonable notice by the Contractor before field location is needed. On request, the Engineer may make an inspection to verify that the utility company has field located its facilities, but will not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such work. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining the excavations or markers provided by the utility owners. This field location procedure may be waived if the utility owner has stated in writing to the Contractor and the Engineer it is satisfied the construction plans are sufficiently accurate. If the utility owner does not submit such statement, and they do not locate their facilities in both horizontal and vertical alignment, the Contractor shall, in writing, advise the Engineer. The Engineer may authorize the Contractor to proceed to locate the facilities in the most economical and reasonable manner. The Contractor will be paid according to Article 213 or Article 109.04 for such locations." 105.12 Inspection of Work.

All costs associated with the furnishing and testing of samples will be borne by the Contractor. Independent testing laboratories may be used subject to the approval of the Engineer. 43
