8. Price Reduction for Defective Cost or Pricinl1.' Data
N ote.-The following clause applies to (1) any agreement negotiated between the
recipient and its contractor in excess of $100,000; (2) negotiated agreement amendments or
change orders in excess of $100,000 affecting the price of a formally advertised,
competitively awarded, fixed price agreement; or (3) any lower tier agreement or purchase
order in excess of $100,000 under an agreement other than a formally advertised,
competitively awarded, fixed price agreement. This clause does not apply to agreements
awarded on the basis of effective price competition.
(a) The contractor and subcontractor, where appropriate, assure that the cost and
pricing data submitted for evaluation with respect to negotiation of prices for negotiated
agreements, lower tier agreements, and change orders is based on current, accurate, and
complete data supported by their books and records. If the recipient or EP A determines
that any price (including profit) negotiated in connection with this agreement, lower tier
agreement, or amendment thereunder was increased by any signific.ant sums because the
data provided was incomplete, inaccurate, or not current at the time of submission, then
such price or cost or profit shall be reduced accordingly and the recipient shall modify the
agreement in writing to reflect such action.
(b) Failure to agree on a reduction shall be subject to the remedies clause of this
agree m en t.
NOTE: - Since the agreement is subject to reduction under this clause by reason of
defective cost or pricing data submitted in connection with lower tier agreements, the
contractor may wish to include a clause in each lower tier agreement requiring the lower
tier subcontractor to appropriately indemnify the contractor. It is also expected that any
lower tier subcontractor subject to such indemnification will generally require substantially
similar indemnification for defective cost or pricing data submitted by lower tier
contractors.

maintain the financial information and data used in the preparation or SUPP9rt of the cost
SUbmission required under 40 CFR 33.%90 for any negotiated agreement or change order and
a copy of the cost summary submitted to the recipient. The United States Environmental
Protection Agency, the Comptroller General of the United States, the United States
Department of Labor, the recipient, and the State of New York or any of their authorized
representatives shall have access to all such books, records, documents, and other evidence

(except formally advertised, competitively awarded, fixed price agreements) and all
agreement change orders regardless of the type of agreement, and all agreement
amendments regardless of the type of agreement. In addition this right of access applies to
all records pertaining to all agreements, agreement change orders and agreement

I
I
I
I
(a) Recipients must establish their own procedures for prompt consideration of
initial protests concerning their solicitations or contract awards. A "protest" is a
written complaint concerning the recipient's solicitation or award of an agreement. It
must be filed with the recipient by a party with a direct financial interest adversely
affected by a recipient's procurement action (see !l 33.1130 "Review of protest
appeal").
(b) The recipient should review each protest received to determine whether it is
appropriate to defer the protested procurement action.
(c) If the recipient does not defer the procurement action, it assumes the risk that
the award official may disallow the cost of the protested procurement action if
the protest appeal is upheld.
!l 33.1115 Protest appeal.
(a) A party with a financial interest which is adversely affected by the recipient's
decision on the initial protest may file a "protest appeal" with the award official.
(b) A "protest appeal" is a written complaint filed with the award official regarding
the recipient's determination of a protest.

(b) A protest appeal must:
(1) Be written;
(2) Include a copy of the recipient's determination of the protest;
(3) State the basis for the appeal; and
(4) Request a determination under this subpart.
(c) Upon filing a protest appeal with the Regional Counselor Assistant General
Counsel for Grants, as appropriate, the party filing the protest appeal must"
concurrently transmit a copy of all protest documents and any attachments to all
other parties with a direct financial interest which may be adversely affected by
the determination of the protest appeal.
(d) The award official will only consider written protest appeals received by the
appropriate Counsel's office within seven calendar days after the adversely
affected party receives the recipient's determination of protest. However, the
adversely affected party can meet the seven-day notice requirement by
telegraphing the Counsel within the seven-calendar-day period of its intent to
file a protest appeal, provided the adversely affected party submits a complete
protest appeal within seven calendar days of the date it sends the telegram. If
the seventh day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the next working day shall
be the last day to submit a protest appeal.
(e) Any party which submits a document to the award official during the course of a
protest appeal must simultaneously furnish all other affected parties with a copy

S 33.1130 Review of protest appeaL
(a) If the recipient does not receive the initial protest before bid opening or the
closing date for receipt of proposals, the award official may dismiss as untimely
any protest appeal based upon alleged improprieties in the solicitation which
were clearly apparent before bid opening or before the deadline for receipt of
initial proposals. In negotiated procurements, protests of alleged improprieties
which were incorporated in a new solicitation must have been received by the
recipient by the closing date for receipt of proposals for the new solicitation.
(b) In cases not involving improprieties in the solicitation, the award official may
dismiss as untimely a protest appeal if the adversely affected party did not file
the initial protest with the recipient within seven calendar days of the date the
basis for the protest was known or should have been known, whichever is earlier.
S 33.1140 Deferral of procurement action.
When the award official receives a protest appeal and the recipient has not deferred
the procurement action under S 33.1110(b), the award official must promptly request
that the recipient defer the protested procurement action until the award official
notifies the recipient of the formal or informal resolution of the appeal. The request
shall be limited to the award of the agreement or subitem which is the basis of the
protest appeal.

other than those allowed under S 33.1120(b);
(2) The protester substantially fails to comply with the procedural
requirements of this subpart; or
(3) The protester does. not agree to the recipient's request for a reasonable

determination of protest, an opportunity to present arguments in support of their
views in writing or at a conference.

specifications. Two layers of 1 1/2" bituminous conforming with DOT
Specification 4.06 for placement and M.04.01 class 1 for materials shall
be placed upon the base material.
*
I
I
Procedures: Bituminous concrete paving shall proceed as follows:
I
I
Subgrade: In all trenches to be paved, bank-run gravel and
processed gravel shall be placed and compacted during backfill to
provide a subgrade, all as per these specifications and to dimensions
shown on the drawings.
I
Unless temporary paving is to be placed immediately, gravel
trenches shall be maintained to original surface by filling with
processed gravel and grading, all as required, until such time as
pavement is placed. All gravel surfaces shall be kept dust free by the
addition of calcium chloride "Dow Flake" or equal, as required.
I
Trimming of Edges: Edges of existing pavement shall be cut in
straight lines before excavation as herein specified. Before placing
permanent type "hot" mix, all edges shall be trimmed as required to
provide straight lines and vertical faces.
I
I
Settlement of Trenches: In trenches where the Engineer
determines that a "hot" permanent type bituminous concrete mix can be
placed as temporary pavement, the Contractor shall allow the trench to
settle for a period up to 30 days before placing pavement, all as
determined by the Engineer.
I
Temporary Pavement: It is intended that most trenches in existing
pavement shall be provided with pavement within a few days after
backfill. The settlement of trenches will determine how soon a trench
shall be paved and the Engineer's decision will be final. The Engineer
will also decide on the type of material to be placed.
I

maintained and that the inverts are matched and conform to the required
grade. The pipe shall not be driven down to the required grade by
striking it with a shovel handle, timber or other unyielding object.
I
All joint surfaces shall be cleaned. Immediately before jointing
the pipe, the bell or groove shall be lubricated in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendation. Each pipe unit shall then be carefully
pushed into place without damage to pipe or gasket. Suitalbe devices
shall be used to force the pipe units together so that they will fit
with a minimum open recess inside and outside and have tightly sealed
joints. Care shall be taken not to use such force as to wedge apart and
split the bell or groove ends.
I
I
Joints shall not be "pulled" or "cramped" unless permitted by the
Engineer.
I
I
Where any two pipe units do not fit each other closely enough to
enable them to be properly jointed, they shall be removed and replaced
with suitable units and new gaskets.
I
Details of gasket installation and joint assembly shall follow the
directions of the manufacturers of the joint material and of the pipe,
all subject to review by the Engineer. The resulting joints shall be

I
Pipelines shall not be used as conductors for trench drainage
during constuction.
ALLOWABLE PIPE DEFLECTION
I
Pipe provided under this specification shall be so installed as to
not exceed a maximum deflection of 3.5 percent. Such deflection shall
be computed by multiplying the amount of deflection (nominal diameter
less minimum diameter when measured) by 100 and dividing by the nominal
diameter of the pipe.
I
I
I
Upon completion of a section of sewer, including placement and
compaction of backfill, the Contractor shall measure the amount of
deflection by pulling a specially designed gage assembly through the
completed section. The gage assembly shall be in accordance with the

from entering the pipeline. As soon as possible after the pipe and
manholes re completed, the Contractor shall clean out the pipeline and
manholes, being careful to prevent soil, water, and debris from entering
any existing sewer.
I
LEAKAGE TESTS
I
The pipeline shall be made as nearly watertight as practical, and
leakage tests and measurements shall be made after the pipeline has been
backfilled.
I
Various methods for testing are outlined herein. However while
these methods can be used by the Contractor during the laying of the
pipe for his convenience, the exfiltration (hydrostatic) test will be
used for final inspections.
I
I
At the time of the test, the Contractor shall determine the
groundwater elevation from observation wells, excavations or other
means, all subject to review by Engineer.
I
For making the low-pressure air tests, the Contractor shall use

Pneumatic plugs shall have a sealing length equal to or greater
than the diameter of the pipe to be tested. Pneumatic plugs shall
resist internal test pressures without requiring external bracing or
blocking.
I
I
All air used shall pass through a single control panel. Low-
pressure air shall be introduced into the sealed line until the internal
air pressure reaches 4 psig. greater than the maximum pressure exerted
by groundwater that may be above the invert of the pipe at the time of
the test. However, the internal air pressure in the sealed line shall
not be allowed to exceed 8 psig. When the maximum pressure exerted by
the groundwater is greater than 4 psig., the Contractor shall conduct
only an infiltration test.
I
I
At least two minutes shall be allowed for the air pressure to
stabilize in the section under test. After the stabilization period,
the low-pressure air supply hose shall be quickly disconnected from the
control panel. The time required in minutes for the pressure in the
section under test to decrease from 3.5 to 2.5 pisg. (greater than the
maximum pressure exerted by groundwater that may be above the invert of
the pipe) shall not be less than that shown in the following table:

all labor required to properly conduct the tests on sections of
acceptable length.
I
I
For making the infiltration tests, underdrains, if used, shall be
plugged and other groundwater drainage shall be stopped to permit the
groundwater to return to its normal level insofar as practicable.
I
Upon completion of a section of the sewer, the Contractor shall
dewater it and conduct a satisfactory test to meaSUTe the infiltration
for at least 24 hours. The amount of infiltration, including manholes,
. tees, and connections, shall not exceed 200 gal. per in. diameter per
mile of sewer per 24 hours.
I
I
For making the exfiltration tests, the sewers shall be subjected to
an internal pressure by plugging the pipe at the lower end and then
filling the pipelines and manholes with clean water to a height of 2 ft.
above the top of the sewer at its upper end. Where conditions between
manholes may result in test pressures which would cause leakage at the
stoppers in branches, provisions shall be made by suitalbe ties, braces,

I
I
The rate of leakage from the sewers shall be determined by
measuring the amount of water required to maintain the level 2 ft. above
the top of the pipe.
I
Leakage from the sewers under test shall not exceed the
requirements for leakage into sewers as hereinbefore specified.
The Contractor shall construct weirs or other means of measurements
as may be required.
I
Suitable bulkheads shall be installed as required, to permit the
test of the sewer.
I
Should the sections under test fail to meet the requirements, the
Contractor shall do all work of locating and repairing the leaks and
retesting as the Engineer may require without addition compensation.

5.2 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
Rating:
A. The automatic transfer switch rating shall be as shown on the
drawings. The complete switch assembly shall be listed under UL-1008 for
use on emergency systems.
Construction and Performance:
B. The transfer switch shall be double throw, actuated by a single
electrical operator, momentarily energized; and connected to the transfer
mechanism by a simple overcenter type linkage with a total transfer time
not to exceed one half second. The transfer switch shall be capable of
transferring successfully in either direction with 70% of rated voltage
applied to the switch terminals.
C. The normal and emergency contacts shall be positively interlocked
mechanically and electrically to prevent simultaneous closing. Main
contacts shall be mechanicaly locked in position in both the normal and
emergency positions without the use of hooks, latches, magnets, or springs;
and shall be silver-tungsten alloy. Separate arcing contacts, with
magnetic blowouts, shall be provided on all transfer switches. Interlocked
molded case circuit breakers or contractors are not acceptable.
D. The transfer switch shall be equipped with a safe manual
operator designed to prevent injury to operating personnel. The manual
operator shall provide the same contact-to-contact transfer speed as the
electrical operator to prevent a flashover from switching the man contacts
slowly.
E. Sequence of Operation:
Engine starting contacts shall be provided to start the generating
plant should the voltage of the normal source drop below 80% on any phase
after a non-adjustable time delay of 3 seconds to allow for momentary dips.
The transfer switch shall transfer to emergency when 90% of rated voltage
and frequency has been reached. After restoration of normal power on all
phases to 90% of rated voltage, an adjustable time delay period of 0-30
minutes shall delay retransfer to allow stabilization of normal power. If
the emergency power source should fail during this time delay period, the
switch shll automatically return to the normal source. After retransfer to
normal, the engine-generator shall be allowed to operate for 5 minutes to
allow engine cool down. A test switch shall be included to simulate normal
power failure and.pilot lights shall be mounted on the cabinet door to
indicate the switch position. Two form. "c" auxiliary contacts rated 10
amperes shall be provided to ooperate an an adjustable time of ;5 to 5
seconds prior to transfer. These contacts shall maintain this state thru
the transfer period and from an adjustable time of .5 to 5 seconds after
transfer. Two auxiliary contacts rated 25 amp, 120 volts, shall be
mounted on the main shaft; one normal, the other closed on emergency.
In addition, one set of relay contacts shall be provided to open upon
loss of the normal power supply. All relays, timers, control wiring and
accessories shall be front accessible. All control wire terminations
are to be identified by tubular sleeve-type markers.

the grantee directly or, if authorized. by his engineer. During negotiations
with the contractor the grantee shall:
1. Make certain that the contractor has a clear understanding of the
scope and extent of work and other essential requirements;
2. Assure that the contractor demonstrates that he will make available
or will obtain the necessary personnel, equi~ent and materials to
accompliSh the work within the required time; and
3. Assure a fair and reasonable price for the required work.
(b) CHANGES IN CONTRACT PRICE OR TIME. The contract price or time may be
changed only by a change order. 'i/hen negotiations are reauired. they shal1 ,
be conducted ihaccordance with caragraph (cl or (d) of this section, as
appropriate. The value of any work covered by a change-order or of any
claim for increase or decrease in the contract price shall be determined
by the method set forth in oaragraphs (b) (1.) through (0) (3.) of this
section wnich is most advantageous to the grantee.
Unit. prices. (i) Original bid items. Unit orices previously

to determine if a new unit price should be negotiated:
(ii) New Items. Unit prices of new items shall be negotiated.
2. A l~p sum to be negotiated.
3. Cost reimbursement - the actual cost for labor. direct overhead.
materials. supplies, equipment. and other services necessary to
complete the work plus an amount to be agreed upon to cover the
cost of general overhead and profit to be negotiated.
(c) For each change order not in excess of $100,000 the contractor shall
submit sufficient cost and pricing data to the grantee to enable the grantee
to determine the necessity and reasonableness of costs and amount proposed,
and the allowability and eligibility of costs proposed.
(d) For each change order in excess of $100.000. the contractor shall submit
to the grantee for review sufficient cost pricing data as described in
paragraphs (d) (1.) through (d) (6.) of this section to enable the grantee
to ascertain the necessity and reasonableness of costs and amounts proposed.
and the allowability and eligibility of costs proposed.
1. As a minimum, proposed change order costs shall be presented in
summary format prescribed by the Administrator and shall be
supported by a certification executed by the contractor that
proposed costs reflect complete. current and accurate cost and
pricing data applicable to the date of the change order.
2. In addition to the specific elements of cost. the estimated amount
of profit shall be set forth separately in the cost summary for fixed
price change orders and a specific total dollar amount of profit will
be set forth separately in the cost summary for cost reimbursement
change orders.
3. More detailed cost data than that required by the summary format
may be required by the grantee to substantiate the reasonableness
of proposed change order costs. Such detailed documentation is
normally required by EPA only when.the contractor is unable to
certify that proposed change order costs are complete. current and
accurate. EPA. may. on a selected basis. perform a detailed cost
an~lysis on any thange order. Normally, a provisional overhead rate
will be agreed upon.
4. Appropriate consideration should be given to Section 30.710 of this
subchapter which contains general cost principles which must be used
for the .determin~tion and allowability of costs under grants. The
contractor's actual costs. direct and indirect. allowable for F~eral
participation shall be determined in accordance with the. terms and
conditions of the contract. this subpart and the cost principles in-
cluded in 41 CFR 1-15.2 and 1-15.4. Examples of costs which are not
allowable under those cost prinCiples include. but are not limited to,
entertainment. interest on borrowed capital. an.d bad debts.

5. For costs under cost reimbursement change orders, the contractor
shall have an accounting system whlch accounts for such costs in
accordance with generally accepted accounting princioles.
This system shall provide for the identification, accumulation
and segregation of allowable and unallowable change orders.
Allowable change order costs shall be determined in accordance
with paragraph (d) (4.) of this section. The contractor must
propose and account for such costs in a manner consistent with
his normal accounting procedures.
6. Change orders awarded on the basis of review of a cost element
summary and a certification of complete, current and accurate
cost and pricing clata shall be subject to downward renegotiation
or recoupment of funds where subsequent audit substantiates
that such certification was not based on complete, current an~
accurate cost and pricing data and on costs allowable under
the appropriate FPR, cost principles (41 CFR 1-15.2 and 1-15.4)
at the time of change order execution.
(e) E?A REV!EW. In addition to the requirements of Sections 35.935-10
(Cooies of contract documents) and 35.935-11 (Project changes), the grantee
shall submit. prior to tne execution of any change order in excess of S100,000.
to the E?A Project Officer for review:
1. Th~ cost and pricing data submitted by the contractor,
2. A certification of review and acceptance of the contractor's
cost or price and
3. A copy of the proposed change order.
. (f) PROFIT. The Objective of negotiations shall be the exercise of sound
business judgment and good administrative practice including the determina-
tion of a fair and reasonable profit based on the ~ontractor's assumption
of risk and inout to total oerformance .and not merely the application of
a oredetermined percentage factQ~. For the purpose of negotiated change
orders to construction contracts under E?A grants. profit is defined as
the net proceeds obtained by deducting all allowable costs (direct and
indirect) from the price. The estimate of profit should be reviewed by
the grantee as are all other elements of price.
(g) RELATED WORK. Related work shall not be split lnto two amendments or
change orders merely to keep it under S100.000 and tnereby avoid the require-
ments of paragraph (d) of this section. For change orders which include
both additive and deductive items.
1. If any single item (additive or deductive) exceeds S100,000,
the requirements of paragraph (d) of this section shall be
applicable.
2. If no single additive or deductive item has a value of S100.000
but the total price of the change order is over S100.000, the

$100,000, or the total of deductive items of work in the change order
exceeds $100,000, and, the net price of the change order is less than
$100,000, the Tequirements of paragraph (d) of this section shall
apply.
Section 35.955 Grant amendments to increase grant amounts.
Grant agreements may be amended in accordance with Section 30.900-1 of
this chapter with respect to project changes which have been approved in
accordance with Sections 30.900 and 35.935-11 of this subchapter: PROVIDED,
That no grant agreement may be amended to increase the 'amount of a grant
unless the State agency has approved the grant increase from available

It is not anticipated that change orders will be labeled end/or submitted
by grantees as being within eny of the ec1egori= listed here. The following dis-
cussion is merely intended to aid grontees end projeat engineers in deTermining
whether 0 chenge order should be submitted to the NYSDEC for consideretion

J. Errors end Omissions in Plans and Scecificctions
I
An l!rror or omission in the Pions or Specificc1ions is 0 ceficiency whic:,
must be corrected in order for the facility to operate properly. Some errors end/or
omissions are to be expected in every major construction project. 1he =ost of
correcting oc=eptc.ble errors end omissions may be grant f\'indc.\)le, howevl!r, on
analysis consisting of the reasons why the error or omission could not have bee,.,
contemplated will be required prior to determination of eligibility.

The cost of correcting errors and omissions will be funded os follows:
Errors and Omissions Detected Prior
to Incorporation into Construction
If an error or omission is ~tected prior to its incorporation into ccnstruc~
tien, the cost of constructing the facility in accordance with a proper new design
is generally grant fundable en the theory that the overall cost of tne facility,
if property designed initially, would nave included these costs. The cost of any
redesign necessitoted by an error or emission will be determined on a case by
case basis.
Errors and Omissions Detected After
IncorporatIon into ConstructIon
If an error or omissian has been incorporated into construction, (if con-
struction has proceeded to the point that the error or omission cannot be corrected
without removing or remodeling or adding to a portion of the facility) none of
the additional cost attributable to the error or omission will be grant fundable
unless extraordinory conditions exist. This includes the cost of construction of .
any portion of the original, improper facility which is not usable as 0 part of the
rede.signed facili ty, the cost of redesign or modi fiection of the design, the cost
of any delay caused by the need to perform the correction, and the cost of removal
or remodeling of the improper facilities. However, the cost of any additional
construction which would have been necessary had the facility been properly designed
initially will ~ grant fvn~le.
2. Substitutions_
The grant program will not fund indiscriminate substitution of a non-bid
item or piece of equipment for that bid by the controctor simply because the
grontee or the contractor prefers the substitute item to the one bid. Such substitutions
require justification.
Any cost of subsfitution of non-bid items based upon nonavcilabiJity or
delayed availability of bid items is generally the responsibility of the controctor
or its supplier and is not grant fundable by change order.
Where the contractor cannot sveeessfullydemonstrate to the grantee
that an item which he bids as "equal" to those named in the specificotions is, in
fact, equal, he must, of course, use one of the named items. However. under
these circumstances, the contractor is expected to perform with the nomed item
at the bid price and no ISSIe of change order fundcbility should orise.
The costs of substitutions necessitoted by failure of a product or material
to perform according to the manufacturer's representation are not grant fundable.
Of eovrse, where the failure of 9 bid item to perform adequately is due
to improper installation by the contractor, no additional grant amount will be
ollowedfor correction. . .

6. Unforeseen Site Conditons
~
Unforeseen site conditions may be defined as unknown physical conditions at
the site 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 c.clIlstruction contract.
Additional costs necessary.to pertorm under unforeseen site conditions are con-
sidered to be an appropriate subject for a change order where a change order for
such costs is appropriate under the terms of the construction contract in question
and such change orders are generally grant fundable. However, if the actual con-
ditioD could reasonably have been determined by the grantee or the design engineer,
no costs attributable to delays or redesign will be grant eligible. Costs of construction
which must be replaced as a result of such a change will generally be ineligible.
In cases where the change requested represents extensive revision to the contract
cost, documentation consisting of an opinion by the design engineer and grantee's
attorney regarding requirements of the specifications as bid and validity of contractor's
may be required.
U unforeseen site conditions necessitate a major design change, such as
rerouting a major portion of a pipeline, the NYSD..e:C ~d USEPA should be
notified well in advance o~proceeding with construction. of the changed facilities,
if possible. -
7. Premium Time
In most cases, the cost of premium time for completion of change"order
work will not be grant fundable. However, where premium wages .are payable
under the construction contract in question and the grantee can demonstrate a
critical need for payment of premium wages, they may be fundable.
a. Time Extensions
I
I
I
Generally, change orders granting time extension or other methods of
extending the time for contract completion for excusabl~ delay issued by the
grantee will be accepted by .the NYSDEC, unless the time extension may cause
a Regional water quality compliance date to be violated. In the latter case, no
time extensions should be granted without prior NYSDEC and USEPA approval.
In no case will acceptance of a time extension commit the NYSDEC or
USEPA to pay any costs of delay or other: additional costs unless such payment
is specifically agreed to.

9. Oceration, Maintenance and Reoairs
Generally, the operation, maintenance, and routine repair or renovation of any
existing sewage treatment facilities during cons-tl'1Jc:-.ion is the responsibility of tile
grantee and is not fundable either as a pal": of tne original contrac:: or :.y c.'1ange
order.
Where tile gran t funded c:lNtruc::ion is under"taken at the site of existing
sewage treament ''''0ri<3, installation of a temporary :ac:ilit"/ is necessary to .prevent
disruption of normal operation of those existing worKs curL'lg construc:-.ion and tile
temporary facility should have ben lnduded in the plans and spec:;lcations, the
request for funding of a change order to pay for the temporary facilities will :.e
handled in accordance with Section I, "Errors and Omissions in Design", above.
10. Dama~e to ECllJioment or Comoleted Work, !'ersonaJ Iniuries
The t:DSU for such losses should be handled in accordance with the original
c:ontrac:: and general legal principles. They are not fundable by change oroer.
11. CloWns
The t:DSt Uegal fees, court t:DSU, etc.) of negotiation and settlement, may ~
grant fundable, whether or not the grantee prevails. The grantee should subm! t
for Clnsideration of fundabiJity on a c:ase-by-case basis, a.'lY settieme!'1t or judgment
against it involving a ~trac:: claim which was denied by the grantee.

Re: Fishers Island Seller District
Dear sir,
We hereby certify that in our opinion, the
specifications for equipment and materials incor-
porate a clear and accurate description of the
technical requirements for the material, product
or service to be procured, and include a statement
of the qualitative nature of the material., product,
or service to be procured, and set forth those
minimum essential characteristics and standards to
IIhich it must conform if it is to satisfy its
intended use except IIhere, in our opinion, pro-
viding this detailed description lIould be uneco-
nomical or impractical as compared to employing a
"brand name or equal" specification in which cases
the later lias used to specify equipment and material.
Very truly yours,
HENRY SOUTHER ENGINEERING, INC.
