16 The Board of Work intend possibly to procure dredging plant themselves, either by buying the Contractor’s plant after the completion of the work or by buying a plant before the commencement of the work. In the latter alternative the dredging will be struck out of the list of work contracted for, but it will be begun and carried out so soon as not to delay the building of the steamboat pier. The machine that the Board of Work will find suitable for procurement, is a bucket dredge with a digging depth of at least 10 m. and a capacity in soft ground of at least 500 — 600 m3 per 10 hours. Besides the principal tender including the entire work together with the excavation as stated above to a depth of 5 m. below low-water level, and which shall also contain the abovementioned ad- ditional prices, the Board of Work desire another tender for the work excluding the dredging, which then will be undertaken by the Board of Work at their own expense. In case of acceptance of the principal tender, the Contractor concerned shall in good time enter into negotiations with the Board of Work for the sale of the dredging-plant after the completion of the work. Anchors, cables and the like, that may be fished up during the dredging shall be delivered to the Board of Work. VII. Building-materials, building-place. The Contractor shall be entitled to take on the ground belonging to the town, without any com- pensation, all stone, sand and gravel required for the work, as also to construct loads and tramways on the municipal ground in accordance with the directions of the Board of Work. In case the Contractor should desire to take building-materials on or to transport across private ground, he will in case of non-agreement with the owner, on the interference of the Town Concil obtain the right to do so, to such an extent as right of expropriation in consequence of the work in question is granted to the Board of Work pursuant to Sec. 3., of the Harbour-Law for the Town of Reykjavik of the 11th of July 1911.1 *) The Contractor shall indemnify the harbour-fund of Reykjavik for all expenses caused by this. The Contractor can in concert with the Board of Work have a building-place appropriated for his use, without compensation, on the unbuilt ground along the harbour belonging to the town; but the Contractor himself must take measures to such an extent as may be needful for preventing persons not concerned from invading the building-place. VIII. Beacons. The Contractor must, during the execution of the -work, in a satisfactory way mark out and illu- minate the site of the harbour-work by beacons and lights, so as to prevent any danger arising from them for the traffic in the harbour. IX. The execution of the work. The Contractor shall be bound to commence the work as soon as possible, not later than 3 months after the acceptance of his tender. The course of the work shall be arranged in concert with the Board of Work; importance will he attached to the piers being built as soon as possible. The work shall be completed before the 1st of September 1916. X. Maintenance. Pursuant to Sec. 18 of the General Conditions, the Contractor shall be bound to keep the moles and the retaining walls round the platform by the principal pier in repair at his own expense for a period of one year from the delivery of the work. XI. Special Statements. The Tender must contain: 1. An aggregate price for the execution of the entire work in accordance with the drawings, desciip- tions and conditions produced, there among: , a) a price for the dredging of each cu. m. beyond the stipulated, b) a price for the discharging of cu. m. above quay wall. 1) This Section is as follows: All persons shall be bound to yield up any buildings, works and ground required for the construction of the harbour or under rails and roads in its service, and to allow stones and gravel or any other earth-materials to be taken on their ground, and to suffer all such limitations of ownership, inconveniences and restrictions of usu- fruct as the building of the harbour may entail, all on receiving full compensation. In case the compensation can not be agreed on, it shall be fixed in the presence of both parties according to the valuation of two men appointed by the court. The expenses of the valuation shall be defrayed by the harbourfund of Reykjavik. Either party being dissatisfied with the valuation can demand revaluation, but not later than a forthnighl after the first valuation took°place. The revaluation shall be conducted in the same manner, but by four men appointed by the court. The expenses of the revaluation shall be defrayed by the party that demanded it, if the estimated amount be not altered exceeding 10°/o of the fixed compensation.
