.1 DELETE paragraphs 6.4.1 through 6.4.3 and REPLACE with new paragraphs 6.4.1 through 6.4.3:
6.4.1 The Contractor shall notify the Consultant in writing of the following conditions, known as
concealed or unknown conditions, but hereinafter called changed conditions or differing site
conditions, promptly upon their discovery and before they are disturbed, and in no case shall such
notification be made later than five (5) calendar days after such conditions are discovered:
a) Subsurface or latent physical conditions in the Place of the Work differing materially
from those indicated in the Contract Documents; or
b) Unknown physical conditions in the Place of the Work of an unusual nature differing
materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in
Work of the character provided for in the Contract Documents.
The Contractors notification shall provide sufficient description of the conditions as encountered
and how such conditions represent changed conditions so as to allow the Consultant to review and
investigate such conditions as provided in GC 6.4.3.
6.4.2 No claim by the Contractor related to shaft, tunnel, trench or other open-cut excavation shall be
allowed under the Concealed or Unknown Conditions provisions unless the Contractor submits
documentation that demonstrates that such alleged conditions are materially different from those
conditions identified in the Contract Documents and are more adverse than those conditions. The
Contractor shall submit such documentation within 30 calendar days after notification to the
Consultant that the Contractor believes a material difference exists. The Contractor may conduct
any investigations as are reasonably necessary for demonstrating that a material difference exists,
and any and all costs incurred by the Contractor to conduct such investigations shall be borne by
the Contractor unless the Consultant agrees that a material difference in conditions does exist and
that such conditions have a cost and/or time impact. If the Consultant agrees that there is a
material difference that impacts the Contractors cost and/or time of performing the Work,
payment for investigation(s), including necessary testing, to document the material difference will
be paid for by the Owner as part of the cost impact directly associated with the materially different
conditions. Payment will be made by the Owner for reasonable and customary prices for geologic /
geotechnical investigation(s) and testing. The Contractor is encouraged to review such planned
investigations and/or testing with the Consultant prior to execution of the same. The Consultant
will be sole judge of what is reasonable and customary.
In addition to the documentation to support the Contractors position that concealed or unknown
conditions exist, the Contractor shall also submit documentation, backup, justification, and
CITY OF OTTAWA SECTION 00105
COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS

CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 9 of 20
compensation, as is necessary, for the alleged impact to Contractors cost of and/or time required
for performance of the Work. Such documentation shall be submitted within the 30-day period
cited above.
The Owner and Consultant agree a priori that the full extent of the alleged concealed or unknown
conditions may not be known within the 30-day period cited above for submission of
documentation. If the full extent of the alleged concealed or unknown conditions is not known
within the 30-day period, the Contractor shall submit such documentation as may be available
within the required period. The Contractor shall submit all additional documentation as may be
required to support its position that materially different conditions exist and to document the cost
and/or time impact on the performance of the Work within 30 calendar days of the date on which
the full extent of such conditions is determined. The Contractor shall promptly notify the
Consultant when the full extent of the alleged changed conditions is known.
The Contractor expressly agrees to maintain Daily Work Records as required by GC 6.3.9 to
include detailed daily labor, material, production, and equipment logs defining hours and costs for
all periods of Contractor performance representing claimed concealed or unknown site conditions.
These logs shall fully separate bid Contract Work from Work associated with addressing and
overcoming claimed concealed and unknown conditions. These Daily Work Records shall
constitute documentation of performance, and the Contractor and Consultant agree to attempt to
reconcile their respective Daily Work Records on a daily basis. Such reconciliation of Daily Work
Records shall not be construed by the Contractor to indicate acceptance of the Contractors claim
of concealed or unknown site conditions or cost or time impact to the Contractors performance of
the Work. The failure of the Contractor to maintain Daily Work Records shall render the
Consultants Daily Work Records as definitive.
6.4.3 The Consultant shall, after Contractor notification of the existence of concealed or unknown
conditions, promptly review the conditions, and if the Consultant finds that such conditions do
constitute changed conditions as defined in GC 6.4.1 and cause an increase in or decrease in the
Contractors cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the Work defined in the
Contract Documents, an equitable adjustment shall be made, and the Contract Documents shall be
modified in writing in accordance with the provisions of General Conditions Part 5 Payment and
other applicable paragraphs within Part 6 Changes in the Work.
The Consultants review will overlap with the period of time during which the Contractor is
required to assemble and submit initial and final documentation regarding the claim. Within 30
calendar days of the receipt of the Contractors initial documentation, the Consultant will advise
the Contractor, in writing, of the Consultants initial opinion as to the existence of changed
conditions. The Contractor acknowledges that a final determination cannot be made until after the
Contractor submits its final documentation as required in GC 6.4.2. The Consultant will advise
the Contractor of the Consultants final determination, in writing, within 30 calendar days of
receipt of the Contractors full documentation of the nature of and cost and/or time impacts of the
alleged concealed or unknown conditions. Alternatively the Consultant may request able infraction
or enter negotiations with the Contractor over the cost with respect to time impacts,
If the Consultant determines that concealed or unknown conditions do not exist, and therefore,
there is no justification for an adjustment in Cost or Time of the Work, the Consultant will so
advise the Contractor in writing. Should the Contractor disagree with such determination, the
Contractor agrees to initially engage the Consultant in negotiations and then implement other

COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL WHITE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS
CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 1 OF 13
PART 1 GENERAL
.1 White Paper Submissions are requested by the Owner. While they are not mandatory,
Tenderers are strongly encouraged to submit White Paper Submissions.
.2 With the financial support of its CSST Project funding partners at Infrastructure Canada
and the Province of Ontario, the City of Ottawa has identified a pre-established budget of
$150M for the construction of the CSST Project. As part of the white paper and
commercially confidential meeting process (described under Part 3 of this Section
00205), the Owner wishes to solicit input and engage the Tenderers in discussions related
to the feasibility of delivering the project within this budgetary limit. For greater clarity,
the budget referred to in this paragraph is not a cap or limit on the Contract Price payable
by the Owner to the Contractor under the Contract, which will be determined in
accordance with the Contract.
.3 The purpose of the White Paper Submissions is thus to solicit and provide a forum for
Tenderers to provide further suggestions and explore the viability of their ideas for
improved cost-effectiveness in the delivery of the CSST project as they relate to project
design and construction, cost and schedule control, as well as risk management in view of
the Owners budgetary and schedule constraints for the project.
.4 There are three categories of White Paper Submissions requested. Tenderers are
encouraged to be creative in proposing White Paper Submissions within the categories
described below.
- Category 1: Preferred White Paper Submissions represent specific topics of
design, contractual obligation, and/or project delivery in which the Owner is
particularly interested in receiving White Paper Submissions from the Tenderer. The
areas of specific interest as Preferred White Paper Submissions are described in Part
2 of this Section 00205. All Preferred White Paper Submissions will be considered
to be non-commercially confidential and, if deemed to have merit, may result in City-
initiated changes to the Contract Documents during the procurement. As such, these
changes would be issued in the form of an addendum to the Contract Documents and
would be part of the base bid for all Tenderers;
- Category 2: Non-Commercially Confidential White Paper Submissions
representing ideas that are outside those areas of interest listed by the Owner. Non-
Commercially Confidential White Paper Submissions generated by the Tenderers, if
deemed to have merit, may result in City-initiated changes to the Contract
Documents during the procurement. As such, these changes would be issued in the
form of an addendum to the Contract Documents and would be part of the base bid;
and
- Category 3: Commercially Confidential White Paper Submissions. All
Commercially Confidential White Paper Submissions will be exclusive to each
Tenderer and will not be shared with other Tenderers, and will provide value to both
the Owner and the Contractor. The process for the submittal and review of
Commercially Confidential White Papers is explained in Part 4 and Part 5 of this
Section 00205.
CITY OF OTTAWA SECTION 00205
COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL WHITE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS
CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 2 OF 13
The provisions contained in Section 00205 will apply to each of the three categories of
White Paper Submission to the extent indicated.
.5 As part of the review process, the contents of the White Paper Submissions will be
discussed within a commercially confidential setting as explained in Part 3 of this Section
00205. The Owners determination of the merits of each submission shall be in
accordance to the review process outlined in Part 4 and Part 5 of this Section 00205. Part
5 addresses the detailed development, submittal requirements and review process for
accepted Category 3 submissions.
.6 As specified in Section 00200, the Owner will retain the services of a Fairness
Commissioner to monitor, advise and provide expert procurement guidance during the
White Paper Submission Review Process as well as be present at all White Paper
Submission Meetings.
.1 Each White Paper Submission must fall within the parameters described below:
The White Paper Submission must guarantee some form of demonstrable added
value or material benefit to the Owner (for example, revenue, lifecycle
enhancements, operating system improvements or cost savings, any form of
social, environmental or sustainable added value to the Owner);
- The White Paper Submission must not substantially impair any essential form,
fit, function or characteristic of the Work, such as, but not limited to, safety,
service life, reliability, economy of operation, ease of maintenance, aesthetics
and necessary standard features at the sole discretion of the City; (particularly as
it either impacts its functionality, operation or negotiated land use agreements
with land owners); and
- The White Paper Submission shall not materially increase the risk to project
implementation, system performance, cost or schedule of completion.
.2 The Tenderer must submit a separate White Paper Submission for each proposed
White Paper Submission proposal and the Tenderer will identify, for each
submission, the category of submission under which it falls. Each White Paper
Submission must be capable of being assessed for acceptability on its own merits.
Unless the Tenderer clearly indicates that certain White Paper Submissions are not
mutually exclusive of one another, individual White Paper Submissions must not be
dependent or contingent on the acceptance of another or other White Paper
Submission(s) in order to meet the parameters and requirements outlined in this
Section 00205. The Owner will be entitled, in their sole discretion, to accept some,
all, or none of the White Paper Submissions.
.3 Category 3 Commercially Confidential White Paper Submissions must each provide
an Instant Contract Saving of a minimum of $500,000.
CITY OF OTTAWA SECTION 00205

.1 At a minimum, and as applicable, the Contractor shall include, in each White Paper, the
information described below:
.1 A description of the difference between the existing Contract requirement and that
proposed in the White Paper Submission, the comparative advantages and
disadvantages of each, a justification when an item's function or characteristics are
being altered, and the effect of the change on the end item's performance.
.2 A list of the Contract requirements that must be changed if the White Paper
Submission is accepted, including a recommendation as to how the revisions must be
made and any suggested specification revisions.
.3 A description of the added value and material benefit resulting from the proposal,
including the associated differences in cost. The cost information shall include both
capital cost savings and life cycle cost savings. The cost reduction associated with the
White Paper Submission shall take into account the Contractor's implementation
costs.
.2 The Contractor will submit all White Paper Submissions as described in this Section
00205 and shall include completed Appendix 1 and 2 with the submission.
White Paper Submissions are requested in order to obtain proposed enhancements from
Tenderers that they believe can facilitate cost and schedule certainty or reduction in the
delivery of the CSST project. The Owner is particularly interested in receiving White Paper
Submissions from the Tenderers on the following topics:
.1 Project Delivery:
a. White Paper 1: Overall Construction Sequencing Requirements to Meet a 41
Month Project Construction Schedule within Specified Site Access Constraints
b. White Paper 2: Timeline Required for Construction of Works at Site 3a and
Ability to Respect Specified Site Access Constraints
c. White Paper 3: Methods to optimize precast concrete segment production and
mobilization
.2 Design Modifications:
a. White Paper 4: Cost Saving Measures on Shoring Design and Shaft
Construction to help Meet Funding Limitations
.3 Contractual Terms and Obligations:

with the Owner and provide an opportunity for the Tenderer to present their White Paper
Submissions in the various categories defined in Part 1 of this Section 00205. The White
Paper Submission Meeting will provide the opportunity to discuss, with the Owner,
whether the Preferred White Paper Submissions and potential Contractor White Paper
Submissions are of interest to the Owner and the extent to which the potential White
Paper Submissions and Preferred White Paper Submissions may be acceptable to the
Owner.
.4 White Paper Submission Meetings will be scheduled at the mid-way point of the tender
period as outlined in the Tender schedule in Section 00200.
.5 The Contractor must provide the information requested in this Section 00205 no later
than 10 Business Days prior to a White Paper Submission Meeting. The Owner will not
provide any written commentary with respect to the White Paper Submissions either prior
to or during the White Paper Submission Meeting. Submissions will be reviewed and
evaluated as described in Part 4 of this Section 00205.
.1. General
.1. The White Paper Submissions will be conclusively reviewed for acceptability by the
Owner and Consultant.
.2. Each White Paper Submission will be considered on its own merits.
.3. The Owner and the Consultant will be the sole judge of the acceptability of a White
Paper Submission and of the added value and material benefit to be derived from the
adoption of all or any part of such proposal. Those White Paper Submissions deemed
by the Owner and the Consultant, in their sole discretion, to be acceptable will be
reviewed as described herein and, at that time, may be accepted in whole, in part, or
grouped together by the Owner where deemed necessary.

.4. In determining the cost savings, the right is reserved to disregard the submission if, in
the judgment of the Owner and Consultant, such prices do not represent a fair
measure of the value of the work to be performed or to be deleted. The Owner retains
the right to have a cost consultant review the proposed cost savings identified by the
White Paper Submission.
.5. Following the submission of the White Papers, and at any point during their review
of any White Paper Submission, the Owner reserves the right to request, from the
Tenderer, additional information, more detailed descriptions and/or clarifications to
the extent that it feels is necessary to assess the merits of the subject White Paper
Submission.

of the White Paper Submission, as well as the savings and costs, shall be final. The
Owner and Consultant will not have any obligation or liability whatsoever in relation
to the consideration or rejection of any White Paper Submission.
.1. Within 10 Business Days following the White Paper Submission Meeting, the Owner
will complete its review of the Category 1 (Preferred) and Category 2 (Non-
Commercially Confidential) White Paper Submissions. Those submissions that are

modify the description of the idea in a manner that they feel represents the best value
to the project.

specified under Part 5 of this Section 00205.

COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL ESCROW BID DOCUMENTS
CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 1 OF 5
Part 1 General
1.1 SCOPE
.1 The three low tenderers shall submit, within three (3) Working Days after opening of the
tenders, one copy of all documentary information generated in preparation of tender
prices for this Project. This material is hereinafter referred to as Escrow Bid Documents
(EBDs). The EBDs of the successful bidder will be held in escrow for the duration of the
Contract and Warranty Period. Escrow Bid Documents of the other bidders will be
returned to the bidders following award and execution of the respective contract.
.2 The successful tenderer agrees, as a condition of award of the Contract, that the Escrow
Bid Documents constitute all the information used in preparation of its tender and that no
other tender preparation information shall be considered in resolving disputes or claims,
or in negotiation of change orders to the Contract.
.3 Nothing in the Escrow Bid Documents shall change or modify the terms or conditions of
the Contract.
1.2 OWNERSHIP
.1 The EBDs are and shall always remain the property of the Contractor subject only to
joint review by the Contract Administrator and the Contractor, except as provided for
herein.
.2 The City acknowledges the information contained in the EBDs is not known outside the
Contractors business, is known only to a limited extent and only by a limited number of
employees of the Contractor, is safeguarded while in Contractors possession, is
extremely valuable to the Contractor, and could be extremely valuable to the
Contractors competitors by virtue of it reflecting the Contractors contemplated
techniques of construction.
.3 The City further acknowledges that the EBDs and the information contained therein are
made available to the City only because such action is an express prerequisite to award
of the Contract. The City acknowledges that the EBDs include a compilation of
information used in the Contractors business to obtain an advantage over competitors
who do not know of or use the contents of the documentation. The City agrees to
safeguard the EBDs and all information contained therein against disclosure, to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
1.3 PURPOSE
.1 EBDs will be used to assist in the negotiation of price adjustments and change orders and
in the settlement of disputes and claims. They will not be used for pre-award evaluation
of the Contractor's anticipated methods of construction or to assess the Contractor's
qualifications for performing the Work.
.2 If Contractor wishes to subcontract any portion of the Work after award that was not
identified in the Tender Documents, City retains the right to require Contractor to submit
Escrow Bid Documents from Subcontractor before subcontract is approved.
CITY OF OTTAWA SECTION 00496
COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL ESCROW BID DOCUMENTS
CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 2 OF 5
.1 Tenderers may submit EBDs in their usual cost estimating format. It is not intended that
extra work is required in preparing the tender; however, the format and contents of the
EBDs must be sufficient to ensure that the EBDs will be adequate to enable complete
and proper understanding and proper interpretation for their intended use. The EBDs
shall be in the English language only.
.2 The EBDs shall clearly itemize, organize and identify the estimated costs of performing
the work of each item contained in the Tender Schedule. Items should be separated into
sub-items as required to present a complete and detailed cost estimate and allow a
detailed cost review. For ease of reference and completeness, each cost item and sub-
item shall be preceded with a summary sheet, with appropriate references, to its various
cost components. Where alternative construction methods are used in the estimate, the
EBDs shall describe the methods used and pertinent information related to the cost of
such methods. The EBDs shall include all quantity take-offs, crews, equipment,
calculations of rates of production and progress, copies of quotations from sub-
contractors and suppliers, and memoranda, narratives, consultants reports, add/deduct
sheets and all other information used by the Contractor to arrive at the prices contained
in the tender. Estimated costs shall be broken down into the Contractor's usual estimate
categories, such as direct labor, repair labor, equipment operation, equipment ownership,
expendable materials, permanent materials and subcontract costs as appropriate. Plant
and equipment and indirect costs should be detailed in the Contractor's usual format. The
Contractor's allocation of plant and equipment, indirect costs, contingencies, mark-up
and other items to each tender item shall be clearly indicated.
.3 With regard to the Contractors estimate of TBM work, the EBDs shall specifically
include at least the following: assumed TBM penetration rates for the various rock
conditions; assumed rock support for the various reaches (confirmation of the Contract
requirement to use precast concrete segments); estimated TBM down-time (all
categories) and utilization; assessment of geotechnical, hydrogeological, TBM and
construction variables that affect performance parameters; cutter cost and anticipated
cutter changes, and maintenance or replacements for rings, hubs, bearings, mounting
brackets, etc.; and a detailed TBM manufacturers proposal for equipment and
performance with at least the details as required in the Specifications. Distinguish all of
the foregoing items between tunnel sections for which full pressure-mode is required,
tunnel sections for which full pressure-mode is anticipated by the Contractor, and tunnel
sections for which semi-pressure-mode or no face pressure are required or anticipated.
Consistent with the requirements of this subparagraph, the Contractor, in addition, shall
enclose with the EBDs, the completed Attachment 3, which is included in Section
0496A.
.4 The EBDs shall clearly show in calculations, text, or both, the relationship between
baseline indications presented in the Contract Documents and assumptions that form the
basis for the Contractor's means, methods, equipment selection, rates of production, and
costs.
.5 All costs shall be identified. For bid items for which the extended amount is less than
$10,000, estimated unit costs are acceptable without a detailed cost estimate, provided
that labor, equipment, materials and subcontracts, as applicable, are included and
provided that indirect costs, contingencies, and mark-up, as applicable, are allocated.

COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL ESCROW BID DOCUMENTS
CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 3 OF 5
.6 Bid Documents provided by City should not be included in the EBDs unless needed to
comply with the above requirements.
1.5 SUBMITTAL
.1 The EBDs shall be submitted to the Escrow Agent, by each of the three lowest bidders in
a sealed container within three days after the date of the Bid Opening, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. The container shall be clearly marked on the
outside with the Bidder's name, date of submittal, project name, Contract No., and the
words Escrow Bid Documents.
.3 Prior to award of the Contract, the EBDs of the apparent successful bidder will be
examined, organized and inventoried by representatives of the Contract Administrator,
together with members of the Contractor's staff who are knowledgeable in how the bid
was prepared. This examination is to ensure that the EBDs are authentic, legible, and
complete. It will not include review of and will not constitute approval of proposed
construction methods, estimating assumptions, or interpretations of the Contract
Documents. Examination will not alter any condition(s) or term(s) of the Contract.
.4 If all documentation required in the Format and Contents has not been included in the
original submittal, additional documentation shall be submitted, at the City's discretion,
prior to award of the Contract. The detailed breakdown of estimated costs shall be
reconciled and revised, if appropriate, by agreement between the Contractor and City,
prior to award of Contract.
.5 If the Contract is not awarded to the apparent successful Tenderer, the EBDs of the next
Tenderer to be considered for award shall be processed, as described above.
.7 If the Tenderer's proposal is based on subcontracting any part of the Work, each
subcontractor whose total subcontract price exceeds five percent of the total contract
price proposed by the Tenderer, shall provide separate EBDs to be included with those of
CITY OF OTTAWA SECTION 00496
COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL ESCROW BID DOCUMENTS
CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 4 OF 5
the Tenderer. These documents will be opened and examined in the same manner and at
the same time as the examination described above for the apparent successful Tenderer.
.9 If the Contractor wishes to subcontract any portion of the Work after award, City retains
the right to require the Contractor to submit EBDs from the subcontractor before the
subcontract is approved.
1.6 STORAGE
.1 The EBDs shall be placed in escrow for the life of the Contract, in the institution
specified herein. The cost of storage will be borne by the City. Should the Contractor
contest the specific storage institution selected by the City, the City may, at its
discretion, negotiate with the Contractor to determine a mutually agreeable institution,
but is under no obligation to do so.
1.7 EXAMINATION
.1 The EBDs shall be examined by both City and Contractor, at any time deemed necessary
by either City or Contractor, to assist in the negotiation of price adjustments and change
orders, or the settlement of disputes.
.4 No other person shall have access to the EBDs other than as described in this
Section, unless agreed in writing between the City and the Contractor.
.1 The EBDs will be returned to the Contractor at such time as the Contract has been
completed and final payment has been made, provided that no claims are either pending
or forthcoming. EBDs will only be returned subsequent to the latter of final resolution of
any outstanding, pending or forthcoming claims or the warranty period.
.1 The three low tenderers, as a condition of award of the Contract, shall execute the
Escrow Agreement included in Section 00496A, and submit the EBDs within the
specified timeframe after bid opening.

and Contractor.

Work. In case of failure to agree, the DRB shall schedule the visits.

meeting shall consist of an informal round table discussion followed by field observation
of the Work. The round table discussion shall be attended by selected personnel from the
City, Contract Administrator and Contractor. The regular meeting agenda shall generally
include the following:

request that the DRB review any disputes, claims and other controversies in connection
with, or arising out of performance of the Work, which the parties have considered, but
have been unable to resolve.
.3 Simultaneous with submittal to the DRB Chair, a copy of the request for review shall be
provided to the other Board members and the other party. The request for review shall
state clearly and concisely the specific issues of the dispute to be considered by the DRB.
.4 When a dispute is submitted to the DRB it may be heard at the next regular meeting or at
a special meeting, as agreed by both parties. For an urgent matter, the DRB shall meet
within two weeks of notification.
.5 During the hearing the Contractor and City shall each have ample opportunity to be
heard and to offer evidence. Detailed procedures are given in Article 1.6 of this Section.

to respond within the specified period shall be deemed an acceptance of the DRB's
recommendations. If, with the aid of the DRB's recommendations, the City and
Contractor are able to resolve their dispute, the Contract Administrator will promptly
process any required Contract Change Orders consistent with the requirements of
General Conditions Part 6, CHANGES IN THE WORK and any revisions stated in the
Amendments or Supplemental Conditions. Acceptance by the City of a report on
entitlement only, or on entitlement with guidelines for quantum, does not obligate the
City to any particular quantum amount.

clarify its recommendation or, if new evidence has become available, reconsider its
recommendation.
.9 Although both the City and Contractor should place great weight on the DRB's

mediation.

hearing begins. Position statements shall include such backup information and
data as is referenced in the position statement, and shall be tabbed, indexed, and

factual documentation, prepared jointly by the parties.

position, with reference to contract language and other supporting documents for
each element of the dispute. In order to minimize duplication and repetitiveness,
the parties may identify a common set of documents that will be referred to by
both parties and submit them in a separate package.
.3 When the scope of the hearing includes quantum, the referring party shall include
a schedule impact analysis and full cost details, calculated in accordance with
methods set forth in the Contract. This requirement does not apply if the scope of
the hearing and any submitted position statements are to be made for entitlement
alone or for entitlement with guidelines for quantum.

established by the DRB and communicated to the parties by the Chair.
.2 Location: Normally the hearing will be conducted at the job site. However, any location
in the greater Ottawa area that would be more convenient and still provide all required
facilities and access to necessary documentation is satisfactory. Private meetings of the
DRB may be held at any convenient location.

.7 Do not block or modify sewer lines, open or close valves, or take other action which
would affect the operation of existing systems (i.e. flow management), except as
specifically required by the Contract Documents and only after the prior authorization of
ESD and the Engineer has been obtained.
1. The Owner will limit the duration of shutdowns of important or critical systems.
Stated durations are the total time period between when the system is made
available to the Contractor and when it is ready for return to service. If the
Contractor cannot complete the Work within the allowed time, the Contractor
shall immediately request an extension from the Owner. If the Owner does not
approve the requested extension, the Contractor shall complete the Work or return
the system to operable condition. The Owner will complete the Work if the
Contractor does not return the system to operable condition as directed. The
Contractor is responsible for extra costs or damages incurred by the Contractor or
the Owner to meet these requirements.
2. The Contractor acknowledges that any operation impacting the flow of the
existing sewers, regulators or wastewater flow in any way, referred to hereinafter
as a shutdown, shall require observation, approval or monitoring by the City of
Ottawa ESD Operations Staff as outlined in the Ontario Water Resources Act and
associated regulations. The Contractor shall provide the Contract Administrator a
minimum 72 hour notification for requiring ESD staff onsite.
3. When the Contractor requires a part of the sewer/regulator system shutdown for
execution of construction activities (i.e. changes to flow directions in sewers,
sewer isolation, slide gate movement, regulator control/power/communication
interruption, etc.), a formal shutdown request must be made in writing to the
Contract Administrator at least 72 hours (excluding Saturday, Sunday, and legal
holidays) in advance of the requested shutdown date. The shutdown request shall
describe in detail the proposed method, and the procedures proposed to
accomplish each portion of the Work that requires an interruption to the
operation of the existing facility. The Contractor shall not begin any such work
until it has received written acceptance of the methodology and approach from
the Engineer. The Contractor shall include in its plan the specific number of
days to complete each facility interruption.
4. With each formal shutdown request and within the Flow Management Plan, the
Contractor shall include the following:
.1 Designate the equipment or system that will be affected or removed from
service. Describe the Work to be undertaken. Identify the portion of the

coordinate with ESD on the planning of the shutdown activity. The Contractor and
ESD shall work together to establish a shutdown specific energy and equipment
lockout strategy that is required for each shutdown of existing facilities and/or all
work that includes the Contractors work to connect new facilities to the existing
plant facilities. The City is not obliged to provide the shutdown within the 72 hour
period if the effectiveness of the regulator/sewer operations could be
compromised. The City will not unreasonably delay or refuse to make the

Definitions
Stamped: means drawings or details that have been reviewed and stamped "In
General Conformance with Contract Documents". The stamp shall include the
date and signature of the Quality Verification Engineer.
General
The Contractor shall retain one or more professional engineers to provide the
services of a Quality Verification Engineer (QVE). The Contractor shall obtain the
written consent of the Owner before retaining a professional engineer who
provided professional services to the Owner for the project.
The Contractor shall advise the Contract Administrator of the name of the QVE
before the QVE provides services to the Contractor.
The Certificate of Conformance shall include the time, date and components
inspected in all Interim Inspections.
Where a QVE is unavailable to complete all the Interim Inspections that are
specified, the QVE shall issue a Certificate of Conformance covering the Interim
Inspections completed to date. The second QVE shall issue a Certificate of
Conformance covering the subsequent Interim Inspections for which the second
QVE is responsible. In this event, the Contractor shall ensure that the Certificates
cover all required inspections and shall submit them at the same time.
The QVE shall not delegate any activity that the Contract Documents require the
QVE to witness. For all other activities, the QVE may delegate the function to
another person where it is consistent with prudent engineering practice to do so,
and the function is performed under the supervision of the QVE.
The process prescribed in this Special Provision for correcting components of the
Work not in General Conformance with the Contract Documents shall apply
unless other remedies are prescribed elsewhere in the contract documents.
Construction
The QVE shall seal, sign and date Certificates of Conformance indicating that
construction of the Work is in General Conformance with the stamped Working
Drawings and the requirements of the Contract Documents. No conditions or
limitations shall form part of the Certificate of Conformance or the written
permission to proceed following an Interim Inspection. Any amendments to the
Contract Documents accepted by the Owner, and related to the Certificate of
Conformance, shall be appended.
If components of the Work have aspects that are not in General Conformance
with the Contract Documents, the Contractor may propose an amendment to the

Contract Documents. The Contractor shall, under the seal and signature of the
QVE, provide the Contract Administrator with an itemized, detailed description of
all aspects within the scope of the Certificate of Conformance that are not in
General Conformance with the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall also,
under the seal and signature of a professional engineer (who may or may not
also be the QVE), provide to the Contract Administrator recommendations for an
amendment to the Contract Documents that will deliver the functionality of the
original Contract Documents.
The proposal for an amendment to the Contract Documents differs from a
change proposal. A proposal for an amendment to the Contract Documents
occurs after the work has been carried out, and the Work does not conform to the
Contract Documents.
i) reject the proposed amendment, and require the Contractor to take whatever
remedial measures necessary to achieve a Certificate of Conformance based on
the original Contract Documents.
or
ii) Accept the proposed amendment, but negotiate a credit from the Contractor
where the Owner deems that the amendment does not deliver the same quality
or performance as the Work specified in the Contract Documents, and require
the Contractor to submit a Certificate of Conformance for the work with the
accepted amendment attached.
or
iii) Accept the proposed amendment and require the Contractor to submit a
Certificate of Conformance for the work with the accepted amendment attached.
Certificate of Conformance
A completed Certificate of Conformance shall be submitted to the Contract
Administrator upon completion of the work. The Qualification Verification
Engineer shall affix his or her seal and signature to the completed Certificate of
Conformance confirming that the following are in general conformance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents:

SUBJECT: New Color Codes & Reference Samples for Confed. Blvd Colors
Please note that we have recently developed new color codes and reference samples for
the Confederation Boulevard colors with the Sherwin Williams Chemical Coatings
Company. These new codes and reference samples have been produced specifically for
liquid paint coatings to match the original Confed. Blvd colors (from 1987) and to ensure
color uniformity with the powder coat finish samples developed with Lumec & Sherwin
Williams in 2003/04.
Note that the powder coat color codes (different codes than the liquid finish) are still
available from the Landscape Architecture Section if required.
Sherwin Williams was responsible for preparing reference samples and color codes for
the Powder Coating system used by Lumec for the new CB light fixtures. These colors
are now matched with the following new liquid paint codes:
* Cardboard color chits are available from the Landscape Architecture Section
The METALLIC BRONZE color for the lighting poles has recently been developed by
SICO paints (local source) to match the metallic bronze color used by Valmont (paint
supplier: Tnemec) for the poles purchased in 2004.
* Sico has been asked to change the above code to NCC 12478 40.

1.2 MATERIALS
.1 System Description: SierraSlope Retention (or approved equal) of a mechanically
stabilized earth slope of engineered backfill reinforced with high-density polyethylene
or polypropylene geogrids
.2 Structural Geogrid - The required physical and mechanical properties of geogrid
reinforcement shall be determined in accordance with the following performance
requirements.
.3 Primary Geogrid - The primary geogrids long-term design strength shall be determined
in accordance with the following:
Where: T ULT
Ta =
RF CR x RF ID x RF D
TULT - Ultimate Tensile Strength shall be the minimum average roll value ultimate tensile
strength as tested per ASTM D6637. This test shall be conducted without artificially
deforming test materials under load before measuring such resistance or employing an
artificial secant or offset tangent basis of measurement so as to overstate tensile
properties.
RFCR The Reduction Factor for Creep is the ratio of TULT divided by the creep rupture
strength determined in accordance with ASTM D5262-07. Long-term creep rupture of the
reinforcement shall be determined from controlled laboratory testing conducted for a range of
load levels and durations in accordance to ASTM D5262 adequate for extrapolation to the
design life. Elevated temperature can be used to accelerate creep rupture test for the purpose
of extrapolation. A minimum total of 12 rupture data points with a minimum of 4 data points
at each temperature and at least one test having a rupture time over 10,000 hours or more are
required to establish a rupture envelope. The requirement for the minimum creep test may be
waived for a new product if it can be demonstrated that is sufficiently similar to a proven
creep tested product of a similar nature. When these conditions are met, creep testing shall be
conducted for at least 1,000 hours before time shifting, with adequate elevated temperature
data to permit to 50,000 hours or more. The limited test results of the new product are
compared to the results of the previously conducted full testing program. The 1,000 hour
creep curves must pattern very closely to the 1,000 hour porting of the similar product to
demonstrate equivalency. Creep testing is required on representative samples of the finished
product and not a single component of the geogrid (e.g., fiber and/or yarn). The ultimate
strength used in this calculation shall be that of the roll used in the testing and not the MARV
for the product.
In no event shall the minimum value of RFCR be less than:
RFID The Reduction Factor for Installation Damage is the ratio of the virgin reinforcement
TULT divided by the TULT of a sample of the same material recovered from an installation
damage test. Tests shall be conducted using the actual backfill from the project in accordance
CITY OF OTTAWA SECTION 02260
COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL MECHANICALLY STABILIZED
EARTHEN SLOPES
CONTRACT NO. ISD14-2036 PAGE 4 OF 7
with GRI-GG4. However, in lieu of such testing, the Manufacturer may supply test results
from other backfill soils if such soils can be shown to result in more severe construction
damage than the proposed backfill. TULT shall be determined in accordance with ASTM
D6637-01 and sample recovery shall be consistent with ASTM D5818-06.
In no event shall the minimum value of RFID be less than:
RFD - Reduction Factor for Durability/Aging is the combined partial factor for potential
chemical and biological degradation. RFD shall be determined from polymer specific (HDPE
and PP as identified by their mechanical properties, and PET as identified by CEG number
and number average molecular weight, Mn) durability testing covering the range of expected
soil environments. Polyolefin geogrids can be used in a pH range from 3 to 12, and polyester
geogrids can be used within a pH range of greater than 3 and less than 9. The minimum
Reduction Factor for Durability/Aging for HDPE and PP shall be 1.0.
For soils of potential concern, as presented below (modified soil shall include lime stabilized
soil, cement stabilized soil, or concrete), only polymers listed as YES shall be used within
or adjacent to (3 feet shortest measurable distance) these soil environments (Reference: Table
8, FHWA NHI-00-044).
Ci - Soil Interaction Coefficient value shall be determined from long-term effective stress
pullout tests per ASTM D6706-01. The Ci value is determined as follows:
