BGL Contractors Corp. as Principal, hereinafter called the Principal, and TRISURA GUARANTEE
INSURANCE COMPANY a corporation created and existing under the laws of Canada and duly authorized
to transact the business of Suretyship in Canada as Surety, hereinafter called the Surety, are held and firmly
bound unto Municipality of Kincardine as Obligee, hereinafter called the Obligee, in the amount of Two
Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Dollars And No Cents
($225,999.00) lawful money of Canada, for the payment of which sum the Principal and the Surety bind
themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally.
WHEREAS, the Principal has entered into a written contract with the Obligee, dated the 8th day of March,
2013, for
Project No. 12223, Contract No. 1, Kincardine Water Treatment Plant Clearwell Cleanout and
Backwash Pump Installation
hereinafter referred to as the Contract.
The condition of this obligation is such that if the Principal shall promptly and faithfully perform the Contract
then this obligation shall be null and void; otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect.
Whenever the Principal shall be, and declared by the Obligee to be, in default under the Contract, the
Obligee having performed the Obligee's obligations hereunder, the Surety shall promptly:
(1) remedy the default, or;
(2) complete the Contract in accordance with its terms and conditions or;

terms and conditions and upon determination by the Obligee and the Surety of the lowest responsible

ready for use or Is being used for the purpose intended, or (2) the date on which the Principal is declared in
default by the Obligee.
The Surety shall not be liable for a greater sum than the Bond Amount.
No right of action shall accrue on this Bond, to or for the use of, any person or corporation other than the
Obligee named herein, or the heirs, executors, administrators or successors of the Obligee.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Principal and the Surety have Signed and Sealed this boQa'datedttte'fith day of
March, 2013.

27) LUMP SUM FOR MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION:
This item in the Schedule of Items and Prices (or, in the case of a lump sum type contract, in the ,
breakdown schedule) is to cover the Contractor's cost of mobilization at the beginning of the construction
period and demobilization at the close of the construction period. The price entered for this item shall be
consistent with the costs involved but shall not, in any event, exceed ten percent (10 %) of the total tender
price.
If the Bidder has entered against this item in his tender a price in excess of 10% of the total tender price, I
the Owner shall, in preparing contract documents based upon the tender, reduce the price for the said item
to an amount not exceeding 10% of the total tender price and shall add the amount of the reduction to the
price for the "Lump Sum for Other Requirements" item so that the total tender price shall not be affected. I
Sixty percent (60 %) of the price for the Mobilization and Demobilization item shall be considered as
relating to mobilization and the balance to demobilization. I
The payment for mobilization shall be included in the first payment certificate issued for the contract
subject to the Contract Administrator being satisfied that full mobilization has been carried out. If the
Contract Administrator is not so satisfied, he shall allow a payment which, in his opinion, reflects the
degree of mobilization effected to date.
The payment for demobilization shall become due following completion of the works and subject to the I
Contract Administrator being satisfied that full demobilization has been carried out. The Contract
Administrator may, in his discretion, allow partial payment for demobilization before full demobilization
has been effected.
28) LUMP SUM FOR OTHER REQUIREMENTS:
In the Schedule of Items and Prices, the Bidder shall enter his tender price for providing items such as
watchmen, permits and approvals (other than those to be paid for by the Owner), items required by the
Drawings or Specifications but which have been omitted from the Schedule of Items and Prices and other
items required by the contract but not specifically covered by or related to the other items in the Schedule
of Items and Prices.
Each progress payment certificate will include a percentage of the tender price for this item in proportion
to the percentage of the permanent works completed.
The submission by a tenderer of an unbalanced price for this item renders the tender liable to
disqualification.
29) PROVISIONAL ITEMS AND CONTINGENCY ALLOWANCE i
The Schedule of Items and Prices for this contract contains Provisional Items and a Contingency
Allowance. Tenderers shall include the amounts tendered for the Provisional Items, and the amount
specified for the Contingency Allowance in the total contract price entered on Page FT -1 of the Form of
Tender, but will only be entitled for payment for Provisional or Contingency Items and work authorized in

DIVISION 1 -- GENERAL REQUIREMENTS SP -1 -1
' SECTION 1.1 -- GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK
The work included in this Contract includes the supply of material, labour, and equipment for the
' complete construction of works in accordance with the accompanying plans and contract
documents. The work includes but is not limited to the following:
• Cleanout and inspection of clearwell cells 1 to 4 and the high -lift pump well at the
Kincardine Water Treatment Plant
• Structural and mechanical repairs within the cells as required (provisional work)
• Modifications to the discharge of the clearwell overflow piping
• Installation of a pre - purchased backwash pump in the existing high -lift pumpwell
• Replacement of the existing control valve on high -lift pump #1.
• Replacement of the existing backwash flowmeter
• Associated mechanical and electrical work
The Contractor shall become familiar with all the pre - selected and specified equipment to ensure
that the project is completed in accordance with the intent of the specifications.
1 The Contractor shall supervise and co- ordinate the work of all suppliers, fabricators, and
subcontractors for all phases of the work.
SECTION 1.2 -- APPROVAL OF CONTRACTOR'S EQUIPMENT
I on the Contract shall meet with the approval equipment used pp roval of the Contract Administrator.
All equipment shall be transported to the site of the work on suitable pneumatic -tired carriers.
Cleated vehicles will not be permitted on existing pavements.
If, in the opinion of the Contract Administrator, the Contractor is not using suitable equipment
for the work, he may direct the Contractor to suspend operations forthwith and such suspension
shall remain in effect until the Contractor has provided satisfactory equipment.
If the Contractor does not have sufficient equipment on the job, in the opinion of the Contract
Administrator, to carry out the work satisfactorily, the Contract Administrator may direct that the
' Contractor supply additional equipment immediately or the Contract Administrator may suspend
the work forthwith. Any suspension of the work by the Contract Administrator on account of
improper equipment or lack of equipment to carry out work satisfactorily shall not entitle the
' Contractor to an extension of time of completion, and he shall remain liable for any liquidated
damages caused by his failure to complete the contract within the time specified.
I
i
DIVISION 1 -- GENERAL REQUIREMENTS SP -1 -2 '
SECTION 1.3 -- PUBLIC ACCESS
During the progress of the work, the Contractor will be required to preserve pedestrian access on
sidewalks and crosswalks. Where necessary, suitable bridges shall be constructed across
excavations for pedestrian traffic.
All fire hydrants, gas line valves and water works valves must be kept free and accessible for use I
at all times.
SECTION 1.4 -- PROGRAM OF WORK
It is necessary to remove the Kincardine Water Treatment Plant from service to allow work to
take place in the clearwell and high -lift pumpwell. During this time Kincardine will be receiving
limited water supply from a neighbouring municipality. It is therefore desirable to have the work
in the clearwell and pumpwell completed in as short a time period as possible. The Contractor
will be allowed a maximum of five (5) working days (Monday — Friday) to complete the work
within the clearwell and pumpwell. If this is not sufficient, the work can be extended through the
weekend for two more days, however no premium or overtime rates will be paid for this work.
This schedule will only be extended by the Municipality if required for extensive remedial
works. 1
As soon as the clearwell cells are dewatered, an initial inspection of each cell will be undertaken
by the Owner and/or the Engineer to assess necessary remedial work. The Contractor shall be
prepared to commence with the work immediately upon being directed to do so. It is anticipated
that it will be possible to complete the required repairs within the timeframe outlined above.
The Contractor will be expected to provide sufficient labour and equipment to complete the work
in the clearwell and reservoir within the timeframe outlined above. It is anticipated that cleanout
of one or more cells will occur simultaneously with remedial repairs and installation of the
backwash pump. Work outside of the cells (mechanical and electrical work on the backwash
pump and high -lift pump #1, replacement of the backwash flowmeter and modifications to the
overflow) can take place either at the same time as the clearwell cell work, or once the treatment
plant has been placed back into service. If completing this work after the treatment plant is
placed back into service, shut down of the backwash system for work on the backwash header or
flowmeter shall be limited to 12 hour periods, and sufficient time shall be left between
shutdowns to allow backwashing of the filters at the treatment plant. All shutdowns of the plant
shall be subject to approval by the Operators.
The Contractor shall provide the Contract Administrator with a tentative program of works
which he proposes to follow in the execution of the contract within fourteen (14) days after the
contract is awarded or the order to commence work is given.

All materials, manufactured products, and manufacturing operations used in connection with this
contract shall be subject to inspection and approval by the Contract Administrator or his
' appointed representatives. Any and all materials or manufactured products, including pipe, may
be tested by the Owner. The Contractor shall, at his own expense, supply samples for testing as
directed of any and all materials or manufactured products which he is using or proposing to use
in the work, and he shall not be entitled to any extra remuneration nor any extension of the time
allowed to complete the work as a result of any delays which may be caused or occasioned as a
result of compliance with this specification.
Materials whose test specimens fail to meet specified requirements and those materials which are

SECTION 13 -- CLEANOUT AND INSPECTION OF CLEARWELL
13.1 Scope of Work
I This specification covers the procedure for cleanout, inspection and repair within the four
sections of the clearwell and the high -lift pumpwell at the Kincardine Water Treatment Plant.
I 13.2 Dewatering
I Prior to commencement of work by the Contractor, the operators at the Kincardine Water
Treatment Plant will pump the water levels in the clearwell and the high -lift pumpwell down as
much as possible using the high -lift pumps at the plant. It is anticipated that this will result in
I most of the water being removed from the clearwell cells. There may be up to 2 m of water
remaining in the high -lift pumpwell. The Contractor will be responsible for removing any
remaining water in the cells and high -lift pumpwell prior to cleanout, using portable pumps.
I Remaining water to within 0.5 m of the pumpwell floor may be discharged to the backwash
settling tank, located adjacent to the treatment plant. Any remaining water and sediment below
this level shall be disposed of at the Kincardine sewage treatment plant as described later in this
I Division.
13.3 Clearwell Access
I Each of the four clearwell cells, and the high-lift pumpwell, g p p ell, can be accessed via external access
hatches as shown on the drawings. In addition, interior access connections exist between Cells 1
and 4 and 3 and 4. No other access to the cells exists.
I 13.4 Cleanout of Cells
Following dewatering, the Contractor shall cleanout the clearwell and high -lift pumpwell cells
I using the following procedure:
• Install scaffolding platforms to a height of not less than 2.0 m from the ceiling of the cells
I • Pressure wash concrete surfaces of walls, columns, and ceiling surfaces within 2.0 m of
walls
• Scrub all pressure washed surfaces with stiff bristled brushes
I • Following brushing, rewash surfaces with pressure wash
• A provisional item is included in the Schedule of Items and Prices to clean the remainder
of the ceiling surfaces using the pressure wash/scrub /pressure wash procedure described
I above
• Following cleaning of all ceiling, wall and column surfaces, remove all sediment and
I debris from the floor of the cells and pressure wash/scrub /pressure wash as described as
above
• It is anticipated that there will be approximately 50 mm to 100 mm of sediment on the
Il floor of the cells, however this amount may vary
I

13.5 Disposal of Materials
All liquid and sediment removed from the clearwell and pumpwell cells shall be disposed of by
the Contractor at the Kincardine Wastewater Treatment Plant. All solid material and debris
removed from the cells shall be disposed of by the Contractor at the Kincardine municipal 1
landfill site. The Contractor shall be responsible for all costs of removal, transportation, and
tipping fees of the removed materials to the Wastewater Treatment Plant or landfill site.
13.6 Confined Space Entry
ry
The Contractor shall be responsible for all procedures and equipment required for confined space 1
entry to allow the cleanout and inspection of the cells, in accordance with Ontario Ministry of
Labour requirements. Prior to starting work on the project, the Contractor shall submit a copy of
his confined space entry and safety procedures.
13.7 Inspection '
Once the cells have been dewatered, the Owner and/or the Owner's Engineer will undertake a
preliminary inspection of the interior of the clearwell and pumpwell cells. Access to the
reservoir cells shall be undertaken in accordance with the Contractor's confined entry procedures,
and the Contractor shall cooperate with the Owner and Engineer in this regard. The Contractor
shall provide all necessary fall arrest and retrieval equipment for up to 2 of the Owner's 1
representatives being in the cells simultaneously. Safety harnesses will be supplied by the Owner
or the Owner's Engineer. Following cleaning of the cells, a more thorough inspection and
documentation will be undertaken. I
13.8 Repair
It is anticipated that some remedial work
p may be required to stop suspected leakage from the
reservoir cells and address any issues related to unwanted cross - connections between the cells.
The extent of the work required will be determined following inspection of the cells, and is to be
carried out by the Contractor on a time and material basis as directed. The Contractor shall be
prepared to commence with the repairs immediately upon being directed to do so. The extent
and location of the required work may dictate the priorities for cleanout of the cells.
13.9 Disinfection and Recommissioning of Clearwell and Pumpwell I
After the clearwell and pumpwell have been completely flushed and cleaned, they shall be
disinfected in accordance with the provisions of AWWA C652 -02 (Method 2) and the following
procedure:
All surfaces which will be in contact with water when the tank is filled to overflow level,
including the walls, floor and inlet/outlet piping are to be sprayed with a 200 mg/L chlorine
solution. The surfaces must be in contact with the strong chlorine solution for a minimum of
I
I
DIVISION 13 — CLEARWELL CLEANOUT SP -13 -3
30 minutes, following which the clearwell is to be filled to overflow level with water treated at
the Kincardine Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The water added to the clearwell should have
sufficient free chlorine that when the clearwell is filled, the free chlorine residual will remain at
> 2 mg/L for a minimum of 24 hours. It shall be noted that the Contractor will be responsible for
coordinating the operation of the Kincardine WTP with the operators, but that only the operators
are licensed to run the equipment.
After the clearwell has been filled for 24 hours and the free chlorine residual proven to remain
over 2 mg/L, drain the clearwell (dechlorinating the water that is discharged) using a similar
procedure as the first time it was drained. Refill with water treated by the Kincardine Water
Treatment Plant. This water should have a free chlorine residual of approximately 1.5 mg/L.
Within 36 hours, the plant operators will collect 1 set of samples for bacteriological testing, to
ensure adequate disinfection. All water samples will be analyzed by a provincially accredited
laboratory. One 200 ml bacteriological sample (bottles supplied by the Labs ONLY) will be
obtained from each reservoir cell via the hatches. The sample form is to be filled out requesting
E. coli (Fecal Coliform), Total Coliform and background analysis and is to include the sampler's
license number. Each sample collected must include a Free Chlorine residual reading.
The plant operators will take a second set of bacti samples 24 hours after the first set was
collected and send them away for lab testing.
The Owner or Municipality will pay Laboratory expenses for the initial first two sets of sampling
requirement for bacteriological results. If the disinfection fails to produce satisfactory samples,
disinfection shall be repeated at the Contractor's expense.
The minimum requirements for acceptability of bacteriological tests are:
E. coli (Fecal Coliform) Less than 1 cfu/100 ml
Total Coliform Less than 1 cfu/100 ml
Background Colonies Not greater than 200/100 ml
The bacteriological samples must show no detectable coliforms before the treatment plant is put
into service. If coliform bacteria are detected, the disinfection process must be repeated until
satisfactory results are obtained.
Once a complete set of tests, including the bacteriological samples, are satisfactory and the
p g g p rY
results are received, the Contract Administrator must request approval from the Municipality for
the treatment plant to be placed back into operation. The Contract Administrator or designate
must be present on -site until the start-up of the plant has been completed.
All new piping, services and appurtenances placed in the connection of the new facility and
existing water system must be disinfected with a 1.0% (10,000 mg/L) solution of sodium
hypochlorite or equivalent method at the Contractor's expense.

I quantity of Work performed since the preceding Estimate was made. The Contract Administrator
shall provide the copy of each Estimate to the Contractor within 10 Days of the Cut -Off Date.
I .02 Such quantities for progress payments shall be construed and held to approximate. The final
quantities for the issuance of the Completion Payment Certificate shall be based on the

shall normally be made using Plan Quantity principles but may, where appropriate, be made using
Actual Measurements. Those items identified on the Tender by the notation (P) in the unit column
I shall be paid according to the Plan Quantity. Items where the notation (P) does not occur shall be

I a) In the case of a Major Item where the quantity of Work performed or Material supplied or both by
the Contractor exceeds the tender quantity by more than 15 %, either party to the Contract may
make a written request to the other party to negotiate a revised unit price for that portion of the
I Work performed or Material supplied or both which exceeds 115% of the tender quantity. The
negotiation shall be carried out as soon as reasonably possible. Any revision of the unit price
shall be based on the actual cost of doing the Work or supplying the Material or both under the
tender item plus a reasonable allowance for profit and applicable overhead.
1 b) In the case of a Major Item where the quantity of Work performed or Material supplied or both by
the Contractor is less than 85% of the tender quantity, the Contractor may make a written
I request to negotiate for the portion of the actual overheads and fixed costs applicable to the
amount of the underrun in excess of 15% of the tender quantity. For purposes of the
negotiation, the overheads and fixed costs applicable to the item are deemed to have been
prorated uniformly over 100% of the tender quantity for the item. Overhead costs shall be
I confirmed by a statement certified by the Contractor's senior financial officer or auditor and may
be audited by the Owner. Alternatively, where both parties agree, an allowance equal to 10% of
the unit price on the amount of the underrun in excess of 15% of the tender quantity shall be
paid.
