Contractor bears the risk that its actual cost of performing the Contract may be more than this 

amount, including but not limited to the risk that it agreed to this amount because of a clerical error 

or a misunderstanding of the scope of the work involved. 

2. Lien Release and Direct Payments to Subcontractors. Owner may require 

Contractor to obtain lien releases from all suppliers of labor and materials before receiving 

payment. Owner may also, at its option, make direct payments to Contractor’s subcontractors, if 

any, and subtract those amounts from compensation due to Contractor.

which are or may be payable by the Contractor on account of taxes imposed by any taxing authority 

upon the sale of the Equipment hereunder. 

4. Timing of Payments. Upon the shipment of any Equipment hereunder, the 

Contractor shall submit to the Owner a detailed statement of the Equipment shipped. The Owner 

shall within 30 days of receipt of the Equipment in good order and free from defects, pay the 

Contractor the contract price of the Equipment. AVEC will deduct from the final payment, and 

retain as partial security, ten percent (10%) of the total amount of the Contract until all manuals, 

final and stamped drawings, and any additional documentation required under the contract 

documents, are received as specified. At such time, the remaining Contract amount will be payable 

to the Contractor within 30 days.

place on the proposal form. Evidence of subcontractors’ compliance with the above shall be 

submitted to AVEC’s Engineer (hereafter “Engineer”) before starting subcontract work. 

(c) Progress Reports. Prior to starting construction, the Contractor shall 

prepare and submit to the Engineer for review, a progress schedule showing approximately the dates 

on which each part or division of the work is expected to be started and finished. The progress 

schedule shall be brought up to date and submitted to the Engineer at the end of each month or at 

such other times the Engineer may request. The Contractor shall also forward to the Engineer at the 

end of each month an itemized report of the delivery status of major and critical items of purchased

These progress reports shall indicate the date of the purchase order, the current percentage of 

completion, estimated delivery and the cause of any delay. 

(d) Remedial Plan. If the completion of any part of the work or the 

delivery of materials is behind the approved schedule, the Contractor shall submit in writing a plan 

acceptable to the Engineer for bringing the work up to schedule. 

2. Materials. Contractor will purchase all materials and Equipment (other than 

Owner-furnished materials) outright and not subject to any conditional sales agreements, bailment, 

lease, or other agreement reserving to the seller any interest therein. All materials incorporated into 

the project shall be in new, high-quality condition. Used or defective materials shall not be 

incorporated into the project. All Equipment furnished hereunder shall be subject to the inspection, 

tests, and approval of the Owner and the Contractor shall furnish all information required 

concerning the nature or source of any Equipment and provide adequate facilities for testing and 

inspecting the Equipment at the plant of the Contractor. The Equipment furnished hereunder shall 

become the property of the Owner upon delivery, provided, however, that the Owner, within one (1) 

year after delivery or within the period for which the Equipment is guaranteed, whichever is longer, 

may reject any Equipment which does not comply with the Specifications attached hereto and made 

a part hereof or with the guarantees, if any, of the Contractor. Upon any such rejection, the 

Contractor shall repair or replace such defective Equipment within a reasonable time after notice in 

writing from the Owner and in the event of failure by the Contractor so to do, the Owner may make 

such replacement and the cost and expense thereof shall be paid by and recoverable from the 

Contractor.

its officers, agents, servants, and employees from all liability, including costs and expenses, for all 

actions or claims resulting from injuries or damages sustained by any person or property arising out 

of or relating to any act of Contractor, its officers, agents, servants, or employees or anyone directly 

or indirectly employed by it in the performance of this Contract, except for actions or claims 

resulting from Owner’s sole negligence or willful misconduct, and for all actions or claims resulting 

from or relating to claimed violations of any statute or regulation, including overtime laws and 

prevailing wage laws, relating to the performance of this Contract. 

The indemnity provision of this Contract preempts any common law rights of 

indemnity that the Parties might otherwise have under Alaska law. 

Article VII 

Warranty & Acceptance 

1. Contractor’s Warranty. Contractor warrants and guarantees to Owner that all 

work will be done in accordance with its proposal and these documents, will not be defective, and 

will be performed with the highest level of skill and care. Upon discovery of defects or deviations, 

prompt notice shall be given to Contractor. Contractor represents to Owner that it is an 

experienced, efficient, and qualified contractor with experience in performing the type of work 

called for under this Agreement in Alaskan environments. Contractor further represents and 

warrants that it has knowledge of all laws and regulations governing such work. 

2. Acceptance Not Waiver. The inspection or acceptance of any materials, 

equipment (except Owner-furnished materials) or any workmanship by Owner does not waive 

Owner’s right to have Contractor complete the project in accordance with the contract documents. 

3. Remedy for Warranty Violations. 

(a) Remedy. The Contractor hereby agrees to make, at his own expense, 

all repairs or replacements necessitated by defects in materials or workmanship supplied under 

terms of this Contract. The Contractor also agrees to pay for any damage to other works resulting 

from such defects which become evident within one (1) year after the date of final acceptance or 

within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable 

special guarantee required by the contract documents. The Contractor further assumes responsibility 

for a similar guarantee for all work and materials provided by subcontractors or manufacturers of 

packaged Equipment components. The effective date for the start of the guarantee of the warranty 

period for the Generator Set shall be the date the Generator Set is commissioned and ready to 

provide service on AVEC’s electric generation and distribution system. The effective date for the 

start of the guarantee of warranty period for all other components of the Equipment shall be upon 

installation. The Contractor also agrees to hold AVEC harmless from liability of any kind arising 

from damage due to said defects. 

(b) Contractor’s Failure to Remedy. If the Contractor fails to make the 

repairs and replacements promptly, AVEC may do the work and the Contractor and his surety shall 


e liable for the cost thereof. Owner may remedy the problem, use any retained Contractor funds 

to pay for it, and Contractor shall pay to Owner any remaining cost and expense thereof. This 

remedy shall be in addition to any other remedy available to Owner. 

4. Other Warranties. All Contractors’ guarantees of Equipment, if any, shall be 

transferred and assigned to the Owner upon delivery of any Equipment and before final payment is 

made for such Equipment. Such guarantees shall be in addition to those required of the Contractor 

by other provisions of this Contract. The Contractor shall hold harmless and indemnify the Owner 

from any and all claims, suits, and proceedings for infringement of any patent or patents covering 

Equipment purchased hereunder. Such transferred warranties shall extend for at least one (1) year 

after the delivery of the Equipment. In the event that no such warranty from the manufacturer is 

transferred to Owner, or the manufacturer’s warranty expires earlier than one (1) year after the 

delivery of the Equipment, Contractor shall provide an equivalent warranty directly to Owner. 

Article VIII 

Dispute Resolution 

1. Agreement to Arbitrate. This Contract shall be governed by the laws of the 

State of Alaska. Venue for any legal or arbitral proceeding relating to this Contract shall be in 

Anchorage, Alaska. The Parties agree to the resolution by arbitration of all claims or controversies 

arising out of or relating to this Contract. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or 

agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, 

applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Contract, and any decision of the arbitrator shall be 

final and binding upon the Parties. The Parties shall equally share the fees and costs of the 

arbitrator. In the even that the Parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the Parties shall ask a 

presiding judge in the Third Judicial District, Alaska, to appoint an arbitrator for resolution of the 

dispute. 

2. Continued Performance During Dispute Resolution. In the event that there is 

a dispute over the scope of the work to be performed under this Contract or Contractor’s 

compensation, Owner may require Contractor to continue performance of the work. In that event, 

Contractor and Owner agree to complete the contract and leave the resolution of the problem to the 

dispute resolution process set forth in this Contract. 

Article XI

or any Contract referred to in this Contract shall be finally adjudicated by an arbitrator or court of 

competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Contract shall be 

unaffected by such adjudication and all the remaining provisions of the Contract shall remain in full

1. Indicated: The term "indicated" is a cross reference to details, notes or 

schedules on the Drawings, other paragraphs or schedules in the 

Specifications, and similar means of recording requirements in the Contract 

Documents. Where terms such as "shown", "noted", "schedules", and 

"specified" are used in lieu of "indicate", it is for the purpose of helping the 

reader accomplish the cross reference, and no limitation of location is intended 

except as specifically noted. 

2. Installer: The person or entity engaged by Contractor or subcontractors for the 

performance of a particular unit of Work at the Project site, including 

installation, erection, application, and similar required operations. It is a 

general requirement that installers be recognized experts in the work they are 

engaged to perform. 

3. Furnish: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, the term "furnish" is 

used to mean"...supply and deliver to the Project site, ready for unpacking, 

assembly and installation..." 

4. Provide: Except to the extent further defined, the term "provide" means to 

furnish and install, complete and ready for the intended use. 

5. Guarantee and Warranty: "Guarantee" is generally used in conjunction with 

units of work which require both products and substantial amounts of labor at 

the Project site. "Warranty" is generally used in conjunction with products 

manufactured or fabricated away from the Project site. The resulting 

difference is that warranties are frequently issued by manufacturers, and 

guarantees are generally issued by Contractor and frequently supported 

(partially) by product warranties from manufacturers.

exposed. 

07540-7




4. Summer ambient conditions may dictate adhering smaller areas of 

membrane at a time to prevent drying of adhesive. Adhesives should 

never be cut or extended. Outside ambient air temperature must be a 

minimum 40 degrees F (4.5 degrees C) and rising. 

5. Apply a 100 percent continuous coat of Dow 2000 Membrane Adhesive 

(Solvent Based) or Dow 2000 Membrane Adhesive (Low VOC) to the 

exposed bottom side of the sheet and the corresponding substrate area. 

6. Adhesive coverage should be 60 square ft. per gallon for coating 

substrate and membrane. Cold weather, inconsistent spreading, and 

rough or porous substrates (i.e. DensDeck® or concrete) will consume 

more adhesive. Membrane must have 100 percent adhesion to the 

approved substrate. Several peel tests should be performed daily to 

ensure proper adhesion of membrane to substrate. 

7. Adhesive must be spread out by roller as necessary to achieve 100 

percent coverage on the substrate and membrane. Adhesive should 

never be broomed or mopped and must not be cut or extended. 

8. If adhesive has been contaminated by blowing dust, moisture, walking in 

it, etc. it should be allowed to completely dry (no longer tacky) and new 

adhesive applied to both surfaces. 

9. Allow adhesive to dry until tacky and does not string or stick to a dry 

finger. When sufficiently dry, carefully unfold the glued portion of the 

membrane in a rolling motion onto the glued substrate surface, avoiding 

any wrinkles or air pockets. Immediately roll the adhered area using a 

weighted pressure roller (such as a water-filled lawn roller). Applying 

pressure with a roller is required to promote full contact of the membrane 

with adhesive. 

10. Repeat the procedure for the other half of the sheet. 

11. For roofs with edge drainage, start at the low edge with the first sheet and 

follow the procedure described in the preceding paragraphs. Starting 

membrane application at high points may be necessary if the substrate 

type prevents effective tie-offs or if it is not possible to complete roof area 

to the high point (ridge) by the end of the day. 

12. Lay out the second sheet with a minimum 2 inches (51 mm) overlap on 

the edge of the first sheet. Perform lap splice. After splice has cooled, 

completely expose the bottom side of the second sheet by folding back 

along the splice. Apply adhesive evenly to both underside of membrane 

and substrate surface, allow to dry to the point where the adhesive is 

tacky, and carefully turn membrane back onto glued substrate surface 

avoiding any wrinkles or air pockets. Roll surface using a weighted 

pressure roller applying pressure to promote full contract. Repeat 

procedure for each sheet proceeding across roof.

13. At perimeters that are to receive a gravel stop or metal edging, the 

membrane must be brought over the outside edge and terminated at 12 

inches (305 mm) o.c. unless otherwise stated in the appropriate detail. 

14. Membrane must be mechanically attached 12 inches (305 mm) o.c. at all 

perimeters and at any penetration that has a dimension of 24 inches (610 

mm) or greater with Dow fasteners and plates. 

15. Lap splice: Membrane shall be overlapped and hot-air welded without any 

contaminants (adhesive, dirt, debris, etc.) prevalent in the seam. 

a. Hot-air welding: An automatic hot-air welder and hand-held welder 

which are functionally in top condition are a necessity for Dow 

applications. Small work and repairs can be completed efficiently 

with the hand-held welders, however, hand-held welders are not a 

recommended means of field seaming. 

b. The entire lap edge must be probed with approved seam probing 

tool (i.e. Sears cotter pin extractor) after it has cooled completely to 

verify seam consistency. Probing before the seam area has cooled 

will damage the membrane. In addition, destructive tests should be 

performed daily on a 3 inches (76 mm) wide area of seam weld to 

verify sufficient peel strength. A properly welded seam will have 

membrane delamination from scrim prior to weld failure. Destructive 

tests on welds should be done for the first seam of the day, first 

seam after the robot welder has been allowed to cool down, and 

after any extreme changes in weather conditions. 

E. Flashing Installation: Perimeters, curbs, vents, expansion joints, drains, and other 

details shall be flashed. Under no circumstances shall flashings cover weep 

holes or any form of through-wall drainage. 

1. Pipe flashings shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer's detail. 

Do not flash to lead. 

2. Expansion joints shall be installed according to manufacturer's detail. 

3. Roof drains shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer's detail. 

F. Metal Work Installation: 

1. Metal work shall be installed in a manner that prevents damage from 

buckling or wind. 

2. Metal work shall be sealed and waterproofed. 

G. Overnight Seal/Temporary Water Stop Installation: 

1. Water stop shall be made by a sealant method approved by 

manufacturer. 

07540-9




3.04 INSPECTION 

2. Roofing contractor shall coordinate installation to ensure the system is 

made watertight at the end of each work day. 

A. Destructive tests shall be performed daily on a 3 inches (76 mm) wide area of seam 

weld to verify sufficient peel strength. Verify seam strength and correct procedures 

and seams that do not provide watertight durable construction. 

1. A properly welded seam will have membrane delamination from scrim 

prior to weld failure. 

2. Additional destructive tests on welds shall be conducted for the first seam 

of the day, the first seam after the robot welder has been allowed to cool 

down, and after any extreme changes in weather conditions. 

B. Upon completion of the installation, an inspection will be performed by a 

representative of the roofing manufacturer to ascertain that the roofing membrane 

system has been installed according to approved specifications and details. Upon 

approval of the project, a Warranty shall be written.
