A chance in the method of construction sinslar to what is proposed here is not uncc=on on city contracts. It sometimes happens that when as contractor Is actually working on the job a method of doing the work beeorr:s possible which was not foreseen at the tim-s of the preparation of the plans. In such cases our normal procedure Is to require that ttie contractor give us an assur- ance'that any extra work, such as rostoration, rerouting of traffic or reloca- tion of utilities wi1i be guaranteed by lain.. -In the present instance it seem reasonable that the city receive the sass assurances In connection with the changes on the Minnesota Highway Department contract.

Detour Route All costs of installation, maintenance and rewval of detour routo traffic .control daviceo including barricades, signs, markors, flashers, flags, etc. shall be borne by the contractor and they. shall be installed and maintained as designatod by the Traffic o 1: a- :, f j - Page 2 - Engineer of Saint Paul.

Street RestQrstlons All pavement removal, trench backfilling, compaction, pavement restoration and protection to existing utilities and structures shall be done in accordance with Section 19, City of St. Paul, Department of Public Works, "Specifications for Street and Sewer Construction ", dated A pril 1. 1959, with exception of Paragraph 10.03A peartaining to maulmum allowable trench widths. A "Street Opening parmlt" wiil be issued by the Department of Public Works upon receipt of a certified check or furnishing of a bond in the amount of $5,004 by the contractor, which will not be released for return to hiss until approval by the Chief Engineer of the3 City of St. Paul, said ap@aroval being contingent upon lull compliance with these specifications by the contractor and his reimbursement to the City for any and all costs Incurred due to the granting of this permit.
