Note 5 — PART I SPECIFICATIONS FOR STREET ROADWAY PAVEMENTS

As outlined in the introduction, these specifications are designed to secure the construction of the pavement in a proper manner, the city assuming responsibility for the character and utility of the work. The guarantee here proposed is therefore intended to cover only a proper compliance with the specifications, for which the contractor may properly be held responsible, and not the sufficiency or utility of the work, if constructed according to the specifications. The period of guaranty should therefore be short, not exceeding two years.
