DEPOSITING
Concrete deposition methods shall be in accordance with CSA Standard CAN/CSA-A23.1. Deposit
concrete in the forms as close as practicable to its final position and in layers that are approximately
horizontal. Concrete shall be confined in a suitable vertical drop pipe to within 1.50 metre or less of the
concrete in place in order to prevent segregation by ricocheting off tie rods, spacers, reinforcement and
forms and to protect these items from displacement. Concrete which has partially hardened shall not
be subjected to injurious vibration or shock, except for controlled revibration where specified. The size
of section to be placed in one continuous operation shall be as shown on the drawings or as directed by
the Consultant.
Mixing and placing equipment shall be such that when concreting has once started, the depositing of
concrete shall be carried on as a continuous operation until the placing of the panel or section is
completed. Concreting shall be carried out at such a rate that the concrete is at all times sufficiently
plastic to ensure proper bonding of successive layers. The maximum permissible time interval between
placing successive layers of concrete shall be established by the Consultant.
BONDING TO EXISTING CONCRETE
When fresh concrete is to be bonded to hardened concrete, the surface of the set concrete shall be
thoroughly cleaned of foreign matter and laitance and saturated with water for the period 24 hours
immediately prior to concreting. Immediately before depositing fresh concrete on hardened concrete,
all free water shall be removed from the surface. The first layer of concrete to be placed on the surface
of set concrete shall be of the quality specified but shall contain an excess of mortar and shall be
vibrated to achieve maximum bond.
COMPACTING
All methods of compacting shall be subject to the approval of the Consultant. As concrete is being
placed it shall be compacted thoroughly and uniformly by means of tamping, hand tools, vibrators or
finishing machines to secure a dense homogeneous structure.
For compacting the concrete, internal vibrators shall be used whenever practicable. Vibrators shall be
approved by the Consultant and they shall be operated at a frequency of not less than 7 000 impulses
per minute when fully immersed. Application of vibrators shall be made systematically and at such
intervals that the zones of influence of the vibrator overlap.
The vibrator shall be applied, at anyone point, only until the concrete is compacted and not for such a
time that will cause segregation. Extreme care shall be taken to ensure that the vibrators do not disturb
the reinforcing steel or its bond to the partially hardened concrete will be impaired. Vibrators shall not
be used so close to the forms that they drive the coarse aggregate away from the face.
The vibrator shall be used only for consolidation purposes and shall not be used to move concrete more
than a short distance.

FINISHING
Rough or board form surfaces shall be reasonably true to line and plane. Tie holes and defects shall be
patched and fins exceeding 6 mm in height shall be rubbed down with wooden bows.
Plywood or metal formed surfaces shall be true to line and plane. Tie holes and defects shall be
patched and all fins completely removed.
Related unformed surface shall be struck smooth after concrete is placed and shall be floated to a
texture consistent with that of the formed surfaces.
The top or final surface of concrete slabs and other flat work shall be finished by screeding, floating and
trowelling to a smooth, dense finish, free from defects and blemishes. All concrete surfaces exposed to
view shall have sack rubbed finish.
CURING AND PROTECTION
Refer to CSA Standard CAN/CSA-A23.1 for complete curing and protection requirements. Key items
are highlighted below. Freshly deposited concrete shall be protected from premature drying and
excessively hot or cold temperatures, and shall be maintained with minimal moisture loss at a relatively
constant temperature for the period of time necessary for the hydration of the cement and proper
hardening of the concrete.
After the concrete has set sufficiently, the exposed surfaces shall be kept continuously moist for at least
three consecutive days after placing, when normal Portland cement is used and for at least one day
when high early strength Portland cement is used. During the curing period the temperature of the air
in contact with the concrete shall be maintained at not less than 1 QUC.
Where the use of curing compound is authorized by the Consultant it shall meet the requirements of
ASTM Standard C3Q9, Liquid Membran~ Forming Compounds for Curing Concrete.
Steel forms heated by the sun and all wood forms in contact with the concrete during the final curing
period shall be kept wet. If forms are to be removed during the curing period, one of the above curing
materials or methods shall be employed immediately. Such curing shall be continued for the remainder
of the curing period.
(a) Cold Weather Protection
When the air temperature is at or below 4.51 IC or when there is a possibility of it falling to that
limit within 24 hours of placing, cold weather protection measures shall be used. When
necessary, arrangement for heating, covering, insulating, or housing the concrete work shall be
made in advance of placement and shall be adequate to maintain the required temperature and
moisture conditions without injury due to concentration of heat. Refer to CSA Standard
CAN/CSA-A23.1 for additional information.
(b) Hot Weather Protection
When necessary, arrangements for installation of windbreaks, shading, fog spraying, sprinkling,
poinding, or wet covering of a light colour shall be made in advance of placement and such
protective measures shall be taken as quickly as concrete hardening and finishing operations will
allow.

1982 EDITION OF THE UNIT PRICE CONTRACT - CCDC 4
..
Major revisions incorporated into the 1982 edition of Document 4 are found in GC 14 CERTIFICATES
AND PAYMENTS, paragraphs GC 14.12, GC 14.13, and GC 14.14; GC 19 INDEMNIi-ICATION, and
GC 20 INSURANCE, paragraph GC 20.1 (a). These revisions deal with:
(1) changes to the wording of the Waiver Clause;
(2) the limitation of liability for consequential damages, and
(3) the extension of insurance coverage regarding completed operations.
-
...
...
This edition of the Unit Price Contract combines, in one version, the two previous versions: Common
Law, and Civil Code. This has been achieved by identifying separately the Common Law and Civil
Code requirements of the one clause that is different - GC 14.12 (c).
..
In this edition the word "Engineer" has been replaced with the word "Consultant", which is defined
as being an Architect or an Engineer.
..
In the Committee's continuing effort to keep the wording of the standard documents clear and
consistent, minor editorial changes have been made. These editorial changes do not change the in-
tent of the document.

ADDENDUM

CCDC DOCUMENT 21 - A GUIDE TO
CONSTRUCTION INSURANCE
.-
-
In the Standard Contracts GC 20.1Ia), specifying General Liability Insurance CCDC Form 101, allows
the Contractor to maintain such coverage either in the form of a specific policy purchased for a pro-
ject or under an annual policy covering all operations, including Completed Operations Liability
coverage.
-
Because the 1982 edition of the CCDC Documents extends the obligation to maintain Completed
Operations coverage to twenty-four (24) months and for a further period of four (41 years,
users of the documents should be aware that specific policies are not generally available with a
Completed Operations coverage duration beyond twenty-four (24) months. The obligation to main-
tain uninterrupted coverage can thus be satisfied by four (4) successive annual policies issued by the
insurer then writing Completed Operations Liability coverage for the Contractor.
-
..
Failure of the Contractor to provide the Completed Operations coverage during the six year period
after the date of Total Performance of the Work would put him in breach of contract.

Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between the
Consultant and the Contractor, his Subcontractors, his suppliers, or their agents, employees or other
persons performing any of the Work.
DELAYS
If the Contractor is delayed in the performance of the Work by an act or omission of the Owner,
Consultant, Other Contractor, or anyone employed or engaged by them directly or indirectly, contrary to
the provisions of the Contract Documents, then the Contract Time shall be extended for such reasonable
time as the Consultant may decide in consultation with the Contractor. The Contractor shall be reimbursed
by the Owner for reasonable costs incurred by the Contractor as the result of such delay.
If the Contractor is delayed in the performance of the Work by a stop work order issued by a court or other
public authority and providing that such order was not issued as the result of an act or fault of the Contrac-
tor or anyone employed or engaged by him directly or indirectly, then the Contract Time shall be extended
for such reasonable time as the Consultant may decide in consultation with the Contractor. The Contrac-
tor shall be reimbursed by the Owner for reasonable costs incurred by the Contractor as the result of such
delay.
If the Contractor is delayed in the performance of the Work by labour disputes, strikes, lock-outs
(including lock-outs decreed or recommended for its members by a recognized contractors' association, of
which the Contractor is a member or to which the Contractor is otherwise bound), fire, unusual delay by
common carriers or unavoidable casualties or, without limit to any of the foregoing, by a cause beyond the
Contractor's control, then the Contract Time shall be extended for such reasonable time as the Consultant
may decide in consultation with the Contractor, but in no case shall the extension of time be less than the
time lost as the result of the event causing the delay, unless such shorter extension be agreed to by the
Contractor. The Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for costs incurred as the result of such delays
unless such delays are as the result of actions by the Owner.
No extension shall be made for delay unless written notice of claim is given to the Consultant not later than
fourteen (14) days after the commencement of delay, providing however, that in the case of a continuing
cause of delay only one notice of claim shall be necessary.
If no schedule is made under GC 2 - ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS, no claim for delay shall be allowed
because of failure to furnish instructions until fourteen (14) days after a demand for such instructions has
been made and not then unless such claim is reasonable.
The Consultant will not, except by written notice to the Contractor, stop or delay the Work pending
instructions or proposed changes in the Work.
OWNER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM WORK OR STOP THE WORK OR TERMINATE CONTRACT
If the Contractor should be adjudged bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors
because of his insolvency or if a receiver is appointed because of his insolvency, the Owner may, without
prejudice to any other right or remedy he may have, by giving the Contractor or receiver or trustee in
bankruptcy written notice, terminate the Contract.
If the Contractor should neglect to prosecute the Work properly or otherwise fails to comply with the
requirements of the Contract to a substantial degree and if the Consultant has given a written statement to
the Owner and Contractor that sufficient cause exists, the Owner may notify the Contractor in writing that
he is in default of his contractual obligations and instruct him to correct the default in the five (5) working
days immediately following the receipt of such notice.
If the correction of the default cannot be completed in the five (5) working days specified, the Contractor
shall be in compliance with the Owner's instructions if he:
(a) commences the correction of the default within the specified time, and
(b) provides the Owner with an acceptable schedule for such correction, and
(c) completes the correction in accordance with such schedule.
If the Contractor fails to correct the default in the time specified or subsequently agreed upon, the Owner,
without prejudice to any other right or remedy he may have, may:
(a) correct such default and deduct the cost thereof from any payment then or thereafter due the Con-
tractor provided the Consultant has certified such cost to the Owner and the Contractor, or
(b) terminate the Contractor's right to continue with the Work in whole or in part or terminate the
Contract.

(d) on expiry of the warranty period, charge the Contractor the amount by which the cost of corrections
to his work under GC 24 - WARRANTY exceeds the allowance provided for such corrections, or if
the cost of such corrections is less than the allowance, pay the Contractor the difference.

terminate the Contract.
The Contractor may notify the Owner in writing, with a copy to the Consultant, that the Owner is in default
of his contractual obligations if:
(a) the Consultant fails to issue a certificate in accordance with the provisions of GC 14 - CER-
TIFICATES AND PAYMENTS, or
(b) the Owner fails to pay the Contractor when due the amounts certified by the Consultant or awarded
by arbitration or court, or
(c) the Owner violates the requirements of the Contract to a substantial degree and the Consultant con-
firms by written statement to the Contractor that sufficient cause exists.

working days immediately following the receipt of the written notice the Contractor may, without pre-
judice to any other right or remedy he may have, stop the Work or terminate the Contract.
If the Contractor terminates the Contract under the conditions set out above, he shall be entitled to be paid
for all work performed in accordance with the Schedule of Contract Unit Prices and for loss sustained

The claimant shall give written notice of such dispute to the other party no later than thirty (30) days after
the receipt of the Consultant's decision given under GC 3 - CONSULTANT, paragraph 3.7. Such notice
shall set forth particulars of the matters in dispute, the probable extent and value of the damage and the
relevant provisions of the Contract Documents. The other party shall reply to such notice no later than
fourteen (14) days after he receives or is considered to have received it, setting out in such reply his
grounds and other relevant provisions of the Contract Documents.
If the matter in dispute is not resolved promptly the Consultant will give such instructions as in his opinion
are necessary for the proper performance of the Work and to prevent delays pending settlement of the
dispute. The parties shall act immediately according to such instructions, it being understood that by so
doing neither party will jeopardize any claim they may have. If 'it is subsequently determined that such
instructions were in error or at variance with the Contract Documents, the Owner shall pay the Contractor
costs incurred by the Contractor in carrying out such instructions which he was required to do beyond
what the Contract Documents correctly understood and interpreted would have required him to do,
including costs resulting from interruption of the Work. .
It is agreed that no act by either party shall be construed as a renunciation or waiver of any of his rights or
recourses, provided he has given the notices in accordance with paragraph 7.2 and has carried out the
instructions as provided in paragraph 7.3.
If the parties have agreed to submit disputes to arbitration pursuant to a Supplementary Condition to the
Contract, or by subsequent agreement, then the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance
with the provisions of the arbitration legislation of the Place of the Work.
If no provision or agreement is made for arbitration then either party may submit the dispute to such
judicial tribunal as the circumstances may require.
In recognition of the obligation by the Contractor to perform the disputed work as provided in paragraph
7.3, it is agreed that settlement of dispute proceedings may be commenced immediately following the
dispute in accordance with the aforegoing settlement of dispute procedures.
ASSIGNMENT
Neither party to the Contract shall assign the Contract or a portion thereof without the written consent of
the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
9.4
OTHER CONTRACTORS
The Owner reserves the right to let separate contracts in connection with the Project of which the Work is
a part, or do certain work by his own forces.
When separate contracts are awarded for different parts of the Project, or work is performed by the
Owner's own forces, the Owner shall:
(a) provide for the co-ordination of the work of his own forces and of each separate contract with the
Work of this Contract, and
(b) ensure that insurance coverage is provided to the same requirements as are called for in GC 20
-INSURANCE. Such insurance shall be co-ordinated with the insurance coverage of this Contractor
as it affects the Work of this Contract.

connect as specified or shown in the Contract Documents. If there is a change in the scope of the work re-
quired for the planning and performance of this co-ordination and connection, the changes shall be
authorized in accordance with GC 11 - CHANGES IN THE WORK AND EXTRA WORK, and the value of
the changes shall be determined in accordance with GC 12 - VALUATION AND CERTIFICATION OF
CHANGES IN THE WORK.
The Contractor shall report to the Consultant any apparent deficiencies in Other Contractors' work which
would affect the Work of this Contract immediately they come to his attention and shall confirm such
report in writing. Failure by the Contractor to so report shall invalidate any claims against the Own~r by
reason of the deficiencies of Other Contractors' work except as to those of which he was not reasonably
aware.

When a Change in the Work covered by paragraph 12.2 is proposed or required the Contractor shall
present to the Consultant for approval his claim for a change in the Contract Price and change in Contract
Time with appropriate documentation in a form acceptable to the Consultant. The Consultant will satisfy
himself as to the correctness of such claim and, when approved by the Owner, a change order shall be
issued to the Contractor amending the Contract Price and Contract Time as appropriate. The value of
work performed in the change shall be included for payment with the regular certificates for payment.
In the case of Changes in the Work to be paid for under methods (b) and (c) of paragraph 12.2, the form of
presentation of costs and methods of measurement shall be agreed to by the Consultant and Contractor
before proceeding with the change. The Contractor shall keep accurate records, as agreed upon, of
quantities or costs and present an account of the cost of the Change in the Work, together with vouchers
where applicable.
If the method of valuation, measurement, change in Contract Price and change in Contract Time cannot
be promptly agreed upon, and the change is required to be proceeded with then the Consultant in the first
instance will determine the method of valuation, measurement and the change in Contract Price and
Contract Time subject to final determination in the manner set out in GC 7 - DISPUTES. In this case the
Consultant will, with the consent of the Owner, issue a written authorization for the change setting out the
method of valuation and if by lump sum his valuation of the change in Contract Price and Contract Time.
In the case of a dispute in the valuation of a change authorized in the Work and pending final
determination of such value, the Consultant will certify the value of work performed in accordance with his
own evaluation of the change and include the amount with the regular certificates for payment. The
Contractor shall keep accurate records of quantities and cost of such work.
Should the actual quantity of an item in the Schedule of Contract Unit Prices referred to in Article A-3 -
CONTRACT PRICE, paragraph (c), vary by more than 15% of the estimated quantity, either the Owner or
the Contractor may request a revision to the Contract Unit Price contained in the Schedule. Such a re-
quest for a revision in a Contract Unit Price shall be given as soon as reasonably possible after the party
concerned becomes aware of the circumstances.
If a revision to a Contract Unit Price is negotiated, then:
(a) the revised unit price in the case of a decrease of more than 15% of the estimated quantity will apply
to the actual work performed for that item, and
(bl the revised unit price in the case of an increase of more than 15% of the estimated quantity will apply
to the excess quantity of work for that item only.
If either party requests renegotiation of a Contract Unit Price, both parties agree to act promptly in order to
arrive at an equitable revision of the Contract Unit Price prior to proceeding with the work so affected. If
agreement of such renegotiation cannot be reached, the Contractor shall proceed with the work and the
matter shall be subject to final determination in the manner set out in GC 7 - DISPUTES. Pending such
settlement, payment for the work performed shall be made on the regular certificates for payment on the
basis of the Contract Unit Prices.
It is intended in all matters referred to above that the Owner, the Consultant and Contractor shall act
promptly.
APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT
Applications for payment on account may be made monthly as the Work progresses.
Applications for payment shall be dated the last day of the agreed monthly payment period and the
amount claimed shall be for the value of work performed and products delivered to the Place of the Work
at that date.
Applications for payment for products delivered to the Place of the Work but not yet incorporated into the
Work shall be supported by such evidence as the Consultant may reasonably require to establish the value
and delivery of the products.
Applications for release of holdback monies following Substantial Performance of the Work and the
application for final payment shall be made at the time and in the manner set forth in GC 14 -
CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENTS.

the amendment.

on the day following the expiration of the statutory limitation period for such Subcontractor stipulated in
the lien legislation applicable to the Place of the Work.
14.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 14.5 and notwithstanding the wording of such certificates

responsible for the correction of defects in it regardless of whether or not they were apparent when such
certificates were issued.
14.7 The Consultant will, no later than ten (10) days after the receipt of an application from the Contractor for
payment upon Total Performance of the Work, make an inspection and assessment of the Work to verify
the validity of the application. The Consultant will, no later than seven (7) days after his inspection, notify
