accepted Baseline Schedule by adding or deleting activities, or by changing durations or 29
logic of existing activities as appropriate to the nature of the change event. 30

scheduled completion date of the accepted Baseline Schedule, the difference between 32
scheduled completion dates of the two (2) schedules shall be equal to the adjustment of 33
contract time. 34
D. Contractor shall submit a TIA in duplicate within 15 working days of receiving a written request 35

their impact, and an explanation of corrective actions taken or proposed. 6
G. Delays to project completion due to adverse weather impacting the controlling activity will be 7
assigned by the Engineer in response to a request by the Contractor. 8
1. This request must be made on the same day as the delay to allow the Engineer an 9
opportunity to observe working conditions and evaluate the degree of delay the weather 10
impact poses. 11
2. Only normal work week days may be considered for weather impacts. 12

returned without any action. 31

Engineer reserve the right to review and process poorly organized and poorly described 33
submittals as follows: 34
a. Submittals transmitted with a description identifying a single item and found to contain 35
multiple independent items: 36
1) Review and approval will be limited to the single item described on the transmittal 37
letter. 38

marked up and returned to the Contractor. 11
a) Correct and resubmit items so marked. 12
b. Items marked "A" or "B" will be fully distributed. 13

landscaping or until they are no longer warranted and concurrence is received from the 23
Engineer. 24
b. Physically retard the rate and volume of run-on and runoff by: 25
1) Implementing structural practices such as diversion swales, terraces, straw bales, 26
silt fences, berms, storm drain inlet protection, rocked outlet protection, sediment 27
traps and temporary basins. 28

mulching, sod stabilization, vegetative buffers, hydroseeding, anchored erosion 30
control blankets, sodding, vegetated swales or a combination of these methods. 31

drives and parking areas to reduce the tracking of sediment onto public or private 33
roads. 34

produce objectionable films, colors, turbidity, deposits or noxious odors in the receiving 36
stream or waterway. 37

1. Collect solid waste on a daily basis. 39
2. Provide disposal of degradable solid waste to an approved solid waste disposal site. 40

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SPECIAL CONTROLS 01 35 05 - 3
F. Control of Dust: 1
1. The control of dust shall mean that no construction activity shall take place without 2
applying all such reasonable measures as may be required to prevent particulate matter from 3
becoming airborne so that it remains visible beyond the limits of construction. 4
a. Reasonable measures may include paving, frequent road cleaning, planting vegetative 5
groundcover, application of water or application of chemical dust suppressants. 6
b. The use of chemical agents such as calcium chloride must be approved by the State of 7
New Mexico DOT. 8
2. Utilize methods and practices of construction to eliminate dust in full observance of agency 9
regulations. 10
3. The Engineer will determine the effectiveness of the dust control program and may request 11
the Contractor to provide additional measures, at no additional cost to Owner. 12
G. Burning: 13

2. If the Contractor elects to dispose of waste materials by burning, make arrangements for an 15
off-site burning area and conform to all agency regulations. 16
H. Control of Noise: 17
1. Control noise by fitting equipment with appropriate mufflers. 18
I. Completion of Work: 19

interests is found, cease work affecting find and notify Engineer. 25
a. Do not disturb deposits until written notice from Engineer is given to proceed. 26
2. The Contractor will be compensated for lost time or changes in construction to avoid the 27
find based upon normal change order procedures. 28
K. Hazardous Materials 29
1. No studies for hazardous materials including asbestos or lead paint have been performed. 30
Contractor shall be responsible to review and determine the presence of hazardous materials 31
and surveys as required and include costs for disposal in the bid. There shall be no 32

HRS and test wet. 12

damaged subsequent to or during removal from structure, damaged core shall 19
be replaced. 20
3) Concrete in area represented by a core test will be considered adequate if average 21
strength of three (3) cores is equal to at least 85 percent of specified strength and 22
no single core is less than 75 percent of specified strength. 23
4) Fill core holes with nonshrink grout and finish to match surrounding surface when 24
exposed in a finished area. 25

confirm safety of structure, load tests may be required and their results evaluated in 27
accordance with ACI 318, Chapter 20. 28
5. Correct or replace concrete work judged inadequate by structural analysis or by results of 29
core tests or load tests with additional construction, as directed by Engineer, at Contractor's 30
expense. 31
