Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allowsan exemption from tax for scholarship income received by aChinese student temporarily present in the United States. UnderU.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for taxpurposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to theU.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions ofArticle 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese studentbecomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinesestudent who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 ofthe first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim anexemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowshipincome would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes theinformation described above to support that exemption.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exceptioncontained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim anexemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you mustattach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following fiveitems:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treatyunder which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresidentalien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that

contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.

The Contractor shall use a vibratoryroller to compact the layer of the “crusher-run” stone prior to placement of No. 57 stone. Thevibratory roller shall also be used to compact the No. 57 stone after final installation. Thefinished grade contours of the substation site shall be maintained after the crusher run stonehas been installed. All areas disturbed by excavation beyond this stone base will also beseeded by the Contractor.

BackfillingYard, trench and general backfilling of the substation site is required to return the disturbedareas to the previous finish grade prior to the construction. This shall constitute grading to theelevations shown on the Drawings, allowing an average of 0.5% of grade with the naturalslope of the ground for drainage. The area shall be brought to a smooth compacted plane insuch a manner that there will be no pockets or depressions which will hold water, and so thatthe area will drain naturally. The trenches shall be carefully backfilled with the excavatedmaterials approved for backfilling, consisting of earth, loam, sandy clay, sand and gravel, softshale, or other approved materials, free from large clods of earth or stones, deposited in six-inch (6") layers and thoroughly and carefully tamped until the conduit or cable has a minimumcover of one foot (1'). The remainder of the backfill material shall then be placed in the trenchin one-foot (1') layers and tamped. Any trenches improperly backfilled, or where settlementoccurs, shall be reopened to the depth required for proper compaction, then refilled andcompacted, with the surface restored to the required grade and compaction as specified. Opentrenches in roadways or other areas subject to traffic shall be backfilled in six-inch (6") layers,and each layer shall be moistened and compacted to a density at least equal to that of thesurrounding earth and in such manner as to permit the rolling and compaction of the filledtrench with the adjoining earth to provide the required bearing value. Finish grade areas shallbe raked clean and free from all trash, wood, forms, and other debris after completion of work,and all spoil piles shall be leveled and excess materials disposed of.

Where backfill is required only clean excavated materials shall be used. If the originalexcavated materials are soft, spongy, or otherwise unsuitable for backfill, suitable materialsshall be brought in and used. Backfill shall be placed in horizontal layers not in excess oftwelve inches (12") in thickness, and thoroughly compacted. Backfill shall be compacted to aminimum of ninety-five percent (95%) Modified Proctor Density.
