by a similar price breakdown. In addition, if the proposal includes a time extension, a justification shall be
furnished. The proposal, with the price breakdown and time extension justification, shall be furnished within
fourteen (14) days of the date that the first request was made by the Owner's Representative.

requires delivery of Owner -purchased materials. The Owner will arrange for the materials to be delivered
to the construction site on or before the specified dates. If delivery dates are changed, rescheduled, or

date rescheduling and the Contractor shall coordinate the delivery of the Owner -purchased materials
directly with the supplier or material man.

specifications before installation or at such other time as the Contractor may desire in order to avoid
interruptions and delays in the progress of the Project. The Contractor shall reject any material which
does not meet specifications or which appears to have any defect, which may make the material unsuitable
for use in the Project. The Contractor shall notify the Owner and the manufacturer or supplier of all
defects and assist the Owner in arranging for the repair, replacement or correction of the defective E
condition. The Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of any deadline or completion date, which
results from failure to discover defects, which the Contractor should have discovered through an
inspection. j

in costs and damages to the Owner in excess of the value of the materials; that after use in the Project it
may be difficult or impossible to inspect the material to determine the cause of any failure; and that in the
event of the failure of material there may be a question as to the cause of the failure. Because the
Contractor's employees will be the last to handle and inspect material prior to incorporation into the
Project, the Contractor will be liable to the Owner for damages resulting from failure of Owner -purchased
materials during the Contractor's warranty period specified herein from any cause whatsoever unless the
Contractor provides clear and convincing proof that (1) the entire loss from a failure is covered by a valid
manufacturer's or supplier's warranty, or (2) the Contractor could not have prevented the failure by --
complying with the requirements of this Section concerning Owner -purchased materials.
4. Claims. The Contractor agrees to assist the Owner to present claims to manufacturers and suppliers for
defects in Owner -purchased materials. Where there is any question as to the division of liability between
the Contractor and a manufacturer or vendor, the Contractor shall provide all relevant information in the
Contractor's possession, which may aid the Owner in determining the division of responsibility. The
Owner shall have final approval of any proposed adjustment or settlement of warranty claims.
5. Implied Warranties. The benefit of contractual and implied warranties with respect to Owner -purchased
materials shall run to the Owner and not to the Contractor.
6. Unloading. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be responsible for unloading all
Owner -purchased materials and verifying delivery amounts to the Owner.

from loss, deterioration, damage, theft, vandalism or destruction.

Overview
Galvanized Steel Pole sections incorrectly jacked together, or pole sections misaligned on the Precast Concrete Base, can
be separated with the use of two five -ton jacks and special Musco-provided separating tools. Pole sections must be aligned
properly together as well as on the base for your lighting to meet design specifications. Request the separating tools from
your sales representative, or contact Musco directly at 800/825-6020.
Tools needed S
Musco Supplied:
❑ 4 separating tools
Contractor Supplied:
❑ 1 hammer
❑ 2 minimum five -ton hydraulic jacks
(verify that the jacks will operate
in the horizontal position if your
pole is lying on the ground)
®It the Galvanized Steel Pale sections you are separating have already been set onto the Precast Concrete Base,
the crane sling should be attached to the lowest pole section being lilted above the separating point. If the
sling is higher up on the pole, all pole sections above the separation point must be secured together to prevent
separation during lilting.
The pressure used to separate the Steel Pole and Concrete Base sections should come from the hydraulic jacks.
The crane should provide tension on the pole to maintain stability only.
1 Position each of the tour separating tools on the jacking ears
as illustrated in Figure 1. The tools on each side of the pole
should be positioned as closely together as possible,
allowing for the unestended hydraulic jack to be placed
between them.
Attach the tools to the ears by placing the pin through the ear
F21and the appropriate location on the tool, and secure with the
hitch pin.
3 Place the five -ton hydraulic jacks on each side of the pole
between the separating tools.
MBegin jacking, applying even pressure to each side.
❑
5 Use the hammer to tap on the top pole section being
Separated. This creates a vibration that will help the
sections separate.

for re -assembling the pole.
