augmented daylight shifts will be required throughout the life of the Contract to the extent deemed
necessary by the Contractor to ensure that the work will be completed within the time limit specified.

performance graded asphalt cement price index. The price index will be published monthly in the
MTO Contract Bulletin and displayed on the OHMPA (www.ohmpa.org) and MTO website
iwww.rags.mto.gov.on.ca). The price index will be used to calculate the amount of the payment
adjustment per tonne of new asphalt cement accepted into the Work.
The price index will be based on the price, excluding taxes, FOB the depots in the Toronto area, of
asphalt cement grade PG 58-28 or equivalent. One index will be used to establish and calculate
the payment adjustment for all grades. As of July 2006 the price index for each month will reflect
the average of the same month's prices and be published on the last day of the month and be
retroactively applied to HMA laid in the same month.
A payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement will be established for each month in which
paving occurs when the price index for the month differs by more than $15.00/tonne from the
MTO price index for the month prior to when the tender was submitted. When the price index
differential is less than $15.00/tonne, there will be no payment adjustment for that month.
Payment adjustments due to changes in the price index are independent of any other payment
adjustments made to the hot -mix tender items.
SUPPLEMENTARY GENERAL CONDITIONS
SGC-12
40. PAYMENT ADJUSTMENT - HOT -MIX ASPHALT (Cont'd)
The payment adjustment per tonne will apply to the quantity of asphalt cement in the hot -mix
accepted into the Work during the month for which it is established. The payment adjustment for
the month will be calculated by the following means:
When AC Prices are Rising by more than a $15.00/tonne difference: the payment
adjustment to be paid to the Contractor is the result of subtracting the price index in
effect when the tender was awarded from the price index in effect when paving took
place, minus the $15.00 float, multiplied by the number of tonnes of PGAC
incorporated in the mix(s) as determined by the job mix formula. If the answer is
negative, no adjustment is made.
2. When AC Prices are Falling by more than $15.00/tonne difference: the payment
adjustment made in favour of the owner is the result of subtracting the price index
in effect when paving took place, plus $15.00 from the price index when the tender
was awarded, multiplied by the number of tonnes of PGAC incorporated in the mix(s)
as determined by the job mix formula.
The quantity of new asphalt cement includes all grades of asphalt cement supplied by the
Contractor with and without polymer modifiers. For each month in which a payment adjustment
has been established, the quantity will be calculated using the hot -mix quantity accepted into the
work and its corresponding asphalt cement content as required by the job mix formula.

Town Inspector if approved Drawings are not on the site or if there is an insufficient
quantity of suitable materials on the site or if defective material or improper
workmanship is being used.
Work done in the absence of the Town Inspector may be ordered to be opened up for
thorough examination and may be required to be rebuilt or replaced at no expense to the
Owner.
At no time will the Town Inspector be requested to approve the installation of defective
material or improper work. No verbal approval by the Town Inspector covering defective
material or improper work will be construed as acceptance. Orders given by the Town
Inspector relating to the material and workmanship shall be followed by the Contractor.
Town Inspectors do not have the authority to lay out work, give stakes, lines, levels or
grades. The Contractor will ensure that the trench is in accordance with the Trench
Excavators Act and the Construction Safety Act and the responsibility for ensuring that
these Acts are adhered to will not be part of the Town Inspector's responsibility.
(b) MATERIAL HANDLING
All materials to be used in the installation must be loaded and unloaded by lifting with
hoists or by skidding so as to avoid shock or damage. Under no conditions shall materials
be dropped. Pipe being skidded shall not be rolled against pipe already on the ground.

2.3 CONSTRUCTION METHODS (Cont'd)
Z
EXCAVATION AND PREPARATION OF TRENCH
The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all trenches be made in accordance
with requirements of the Trench Excavators Protection Act and the Construction Safety
Act. Trenches shall be provided so that pipe can be laid with the proper alignment and
depth so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe on solid
bedding at all points between the "Bell holes".
Where over excavation is done below pipe grade on solid and undisturbed ground, it shall
be corrected with approved and compacted material. Where poor soil is encountered,
which, in the judgement of the Engineer, should be removed, the Contractor shall
excavate or remove such materials to the depth and width ordered by the Engineer and
replace it with approved and thoroughly compacted material at no additional expense to
the Owner.
Excavation of trench shall not proceed more than 20 m in advance of pipe laying unless
authorized by the Town Inspector. The trench must be drained so that workmen can work
safely and efficiently with joints made in a dry condition and with no drainage water
entering the pipe.
Trench width shall be such as to allow the pipe to be laid and jointed properly and bedding
and backfill to be placed and compacted as specified. Extra width in trenches will be
required so as to permit convenient place of supports, sheeting and bracing where
required. 'Bell holes" shall be provided at each joint to permit proper jointing. Boulders
and large stones shall be removed to provide clearance of at least 0.15 m below and on
the sides of all pipe, valves and fittings.

(f) PIPE LAYING
Proper implements, tools and facilities as required by the Town Inspector shall be
provided by the Contractor. All materials shall be lowered into the trenches by suitable
means.
The interior of the pipe shall be inspected and completely cleaned of all sand or foreign
materials before placing in the line. No foreign materials are to be placed in the pipe
during its laying.
The inside of the bell and the outside of the spigot shall be free from all oil, grease or dirt
before jointing. Precautions must be taken to prevent dirt from entering the joint space.
At all times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of the pipe shall be closed
by water -tight plugs or other means approved by the Town Inspector. This must be
adhered to during the noon hour as well as overnight. If water enters the trench, the seal
at the end of the pipe shall remain in place until the trench is pumped and dry.
Cutting of the pipe for inserting valves, fittings or closure pieces shall be done in a neat
manner without damage to the pipe or lining and so as to leave a smooth end at right
angles to the axis of the pipe.
Pipe shall be laid with the bell ends facing in the direction of laying. Deviation from this
shall only be permitted by the Town Inspector.
At grades above 10 per cent, laying shall start at the bottom with the bell ends facing
upward. Where deflection in the line of laying is required, either in the vertical or
horizontal plane, the deflection may be made at the joints with the maximum allowable
deflections not being exceeded. If, in the opinion of the Town Inspector, the deflection is
excessive, he will order the job stopped. If deemed necessary by the Town Inspector, the
Contractor will use shortened pipe lengths or fittings in order to provide the necessary
deflection.
Where it is required that the new main shall cross existing utilities or where an existing
watermain is undermined during any pipe laying operation, the Town Inspector may order
the installation of support beams or the removal (cut and cap) or replacement of the
undermined section of the existing watermain. The Town Inspector shall decide the
method to be used. In all cases where pipe is laid on backfilled material, the backfill shall
consist of granular material compacted in 0.15 m layers to 95 per cent Standard Proctor
density. Pipe must not be laid on blocks.

new work.
The curb and gutter shall be constructed in uniform sections 3 m in length, except
where shorter sections are necessary for closures, but no sections shall be less than 1
m long. The sections shall be separated by sheet templates of metal not more than 6
mm wide, set perpendicular to the face and top of the curbing. Templates shall be set
carefully and held firmly during the placing of the concrete and shall be allowed to
remain in place until the concrete has set sufficiently to hold its shape. Saw cuts
partially through the finished curb will be allowed in lieu of the above templates.
Reinforcing steel shall be placed at all catchbasins and at drop curbs where designated.
Drop curbs shall be constructed where shown on the drawings and/or requested by
the Engineer.
When concrete curb and gutter is placed by extrusion methods, contraction joints
shall be formed by saw cutting the hardened concrete within a sufficient time of
placing the curb and gutter to prevent uncontrolled cracking. The joints shall be 3 mm
to 5 mm wide and 50 mm depth minimum.
Catchbasin and manhole frames lying within curb and gutter limits shall be neatly
adjusted to grade PRIOR to placing concrete. ALL FOREIGN MATERIAL, INCLUDING
WATER, SHALL BE REMOVED FROM SUMPS AND BENCHING, WHETHER DEPOSITED
DURING OR PRIOR TO THE CONTRACTOR'S OPERATION.
Private sidewalk shall be cut back and graded as requested by the Engineer. Steps shall
be placed where the grade is excessive. The sidewalk will be constructed in uniform
sections 6 m in length using expansion joint material. Dummy joints shall be made
transversely at 1.5 m intervals.
The concrete shall be placed in the forms in layers of 100 or 125 mm each to the depth
required. It shall be tamped and spaded until mortar entirely covers the top and
formed surfaces. The concrete in the sidewalks must be screeded. The top of the
concrete shall be finished to a smooth and even surface and the edges rounded to the
radii shown on the plans. Before the concrete is given the final finishing, the surface
of the concrete shall be tested with a 3 m straight -edge and any irregularities of more
than 6 mm in 3 m shall be corrected. Concrete shall be given a "broom" finish
perpendicular to road centreline.
