SECTION 01541 <br />PROTECTION OF THE WORK AND PROPERTY <br />7. Necessary changes in the location of the Work may be made by <br />ENGINEER, to avoid unanticipated underground structures. <br />8. If permanent relocation of an underground structure or other subsurface <br />facility is required and is not otherwise provided for in the Contract <br />Documents, ENGINEER will direct CONTRACTOR in writing to perform the <br />Work, which shall be paid for under the provisions of Article 11 of the <br />General Conditions. <br />B. Surface Structures: <br />1. Surface structures are defined as structures or facilities above the ground <br />surface. Included with such structures are their foundations and any <br />extension below the surface. Surface structures include, but are not limited <br />to, buildings, tanks, walls, bridges, roads, dams, channels, open drainage, <br />piping, poles, wires, posts, signs, markers, curbs, walks and all other facil- <br />ities that are visible above the ground surface. <br />C. Protection of Underground and Surface Structures: <br />1. Sustain in their places and protect from direct or indirect injury, all <br />underground and surface structures located within or adjacent to the limits <br />of the Work. Such sustaining and supporting shall be done carefully, and <br />as required by the party owning or controlling such structure. Before <br />proceeding with the work of sustaining and supporting such structure, <br />satisfy the ENGINEER that the methods and procedures to be used have <br />been approved by the party owning same. <br />2. Assume all risks attending the presence or proximity of all underground and <br />surface structures within or adjacent to the limits of the Work. <br />CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all damage and expense for direct <br />or indirect injury caused by its Work to any structure. CONTRACTOR shall <br />repair immediately all damage caused by his work, to the satisfaction of the <br />OWNER of the damaged structure. <br />D. All other existing surface facilities, including but not limited to, guard rails, posts, <br />guard cables, signs, poles, markers, and curbs which are temporarily removed to <br />facilitate installation of the Work shall be replaced and restored to their original <br />condition at CONTRACTOR'S expense. <br />1.6 DAMAGE TO EXISTING STRUCTURES AND UTILITIES <br />A. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for and make good all damage to <br />pavement beyond the limits of this Contract, buildings, telephone or other <br />cables, water pipes, sanitary pipes, or other structures which may be <br />encountered, whether or not shown on the Drawings. <br />B. Information shown on the Drawings as to the location of existing utilities has <br />been prepared from the most reliable data available to the Engineer. This <br />information is not guaranteed, however, and it shall be this CONTRACTOR's <br />01541-4 F:\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION <br />PROJECTS\1413-Martin Luther King Walking Trail\Admin\bid documents\Master Contract Documents\01541 - <br />Protection of Property.doc <br />
