+ encountered, such materials shall be uncovered and freed
of loose material, and the Architect shall be notified
by the Contractor before proceeding further. The areas
in question shall then be cross-sectioned as stipulated
herein. The Contractor shall not proceed with excava-
tion of material claimed as rock until the material has
been classified by the Architect. Failure on the part
of the Contractor to uncover such materials or notify
the Architect or take cross-sections will forfeit the
Contractor ' s right-of-claim to any credits. The quantity
of rock to be removed shall be based on the pay line
limits as established herein. The quantity of rock to be
removed shall be approved by the Architect prior to re-
moval.

heat until footings or slabs are poured and backfill is
placed.
5. The Contractor shall control the grading around the build-
ing structures so that the ground shall be pitched in or-
der to prevent water from running into the excavated areas
or prevent damage from other structures. The Contractor
shall furnish all pumping required to keep excavated area
clear of water during construction. Water shall be con-
ducted into the existing drainage system.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. Project Site
The Project Site is a Parcel of land in the city of Northampton,
Massachusetts lying east of Florence Road on which twelve two
story buildings containing fifty dwelling units and an attach-
ed one story structure used by the maintenance staff of the Own-
er, the Northampton Housing Authority. A plan describing the
metes and bounds of this Parcel, the location of the structures
thereon, and other pertinent information is included in the Con-
tract Drawings.
2. Phasing of the Work
In order that the Contractor be able to pursue his work with
minimum interference from and to Florence Heights ' residents,
the work has been separated into the two Phases described here-
after. Phase One (I) is comprised of the Buildings identified
on the Site Plan as Number 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, all of which
shall be vacated and made available to the Contractor by the
effective date of the Notice to Proceed. Upon Phase One (I)
being determined Substantially Complete, all residents still
living in Phase Two (II) Buildings, Number 1, 2, 9, 10, 11,
and 12, will be relocated (at no expense to the Contractor)
within a period of fourteen calendar days to Phase One Build-
ings and the then vacated Phase Two (II) Buildings made avail-
able to the Contractor.
3. Detailed Operational Plan
Because of the differing methods that various Contractors
may have in approaching a phased project such as Florence
Heights, specific requirements for project scheduling and work
progress have in general been omitted from the Project Manual.
Instead, the General Contractor, after consulting with suppliers,
his Subcontractors, and the Housing Authority staff, shall sub-
mit a Detailed Operational Plan for Authority approval in which
detailed and sequential work items shall be clearly defined with'
due consideration to the fact that at all times approximately
one-half of the site will be occupied by Authority tenants
who may reasonably expect to conduct their everyday lives and
comings and goings without undue and/or unnecessary interfer-
ence from the actions of the Contractor. Similarly, Autority
representatives and those in its hire, such as the trash removal

Re: Florence Heights Modernization
Dear Mr. Tewhill,
Forwarded herewith is a set of Construction Documents (plans and
specifications) for the Modernization of Florence Heights Develop-
ment, owned by the Northampton Housing Authority.
Please review same at your earliest convenience to determine if they
are acceptable to your Department relative to State Code compliance
and other local regulations, ordinances, etc. which may apply.
We note the following for consideration in your review:
A. The introduction of/or existing underlayment to provide an ac-
ceptable surface to which resilient flooring may be applied
will result in a reduced riser height and/or otherwise affect
areas at ends of stairs.
B. It is assumed that one hour construction is required between
apartments and when work on existing construction or new con-
struction affects such separations, one hour rating or its
reasonable equivalent is intended to be installed.
Please contact us should you require additional information concerning
the enclosed documents or this letter, the purpose of which is to
attempt to insure satisfactory code and regulatory compliance and to
avoid changes during construction.
Very truly yours,
chard D. ng `
