piles. This list shall be used as the basis for ordering piles. Payment
will be on the basis of length of piling from cutoff elevation to final tip
elevation, established by the requirements specified elsewhere in this
section. Should the total number of piles or number of each length vary
from that specified, an adjustment in the contract price and the time for
completion will be made. If excavation is made adjacent to piling and
below the grade indicated and if piling is driven before backfilling of
over-excavation, no payment will be made for the length of piling equal to
the depth of the over-excavation. No additional payment will be made for
cutting off piles, for any portion of a pile remaining above the cutoff
elevation, or for broken, damaged, or rejected piles. The contract price
shall include [_____] pile load tests.
