Subject: Adoption of Plans, Specifications and Contract Documents, Authorization
to Advertise for Bids and Appropriate Funds for the Police & Fire
Headquarters Central Plant Repair Project
District: 2
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution adopting the plans, specifications and contract documents, authorizing the
City Clerk to advertise for bids and appropriating funds for the Police & Fire Headquarters
Central Plant Repair Project.
Executive Summary
The Police & Fire Headquarters Central Plant Repair Project includes replacing the chiller that
serves the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, replacing the electrical distribution
panel for the central plant and concrete modifications to accommodate the new chiller
equipment and drainage issues in the exterior portion of the central plant.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.080(E) requires City Council adoption of plans,
specifications and contract documents of projects when the expected value of work is more
than $220,000. The estimated cost for the project is $573,330, thus requiring City Council
approval.
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the plans, specifications and contract documents,
authorize the City Clerk to advertise the project and appropriate funds in an amount not to
exceed $573,330.
Explanation & Analysis
The Police & Fire Headquarters, located at 2560 Orion Way, as shown in Exhibit 3, was originally
constructed in 1986 and uses a central plant system as a means of conditioning the air within
the facility. Depending on the demand for warm or cool air in a specific zone, the system
generates and delivers very hot or cold water to satisfy the demand. Hot water is produced by
way of a boiler while cold water is generated by a chiller.

A facility condition assessment was conducted on the Police & Fire Headquarters building in
2023. The consultant’s report included an evaluation of the existing 100-ton chiller, which has
been in service since June 2006, and the electrical distribution panel that serves the facility’s
central plant, which was installed when the facility was originally constructed in 1986. The
report indicated the expected useful life of the chiller is 20 years, and the consultant
recommended budgeting for its replacement in 2026. The electrical distribution equipment was
identified as being near the end of its useful life, and it was recommended to be replaced
within the next few years.
Near the end of summer 2024, the chiller experienced a failure in one of its two compressors
causing the unit to run at 50% capacity. Given the expense of the repair, coupled with the
recommended schedule for retirement, staff engaged an engineering firm to evaluate
replacement options. The firm proposed a design that incorporates replacing the 100-ton chiller
with two 50-ton chillers, which would provide redundancy and significantly reduce the
possibility of a scenario in which the facility would not have cooling.
The new chiller design requires replacement of the electrical distribution panel to satisfy the
additional equipment needs and to achieve redundancy. After considering the consultant’s
recommendations in the facility condition assessment for the electrical distribution panel
replacement, staff determined that the proposed design would deliver the best value and
solution for the facility.
To accommodate the new design, the concrete pad that the existing chiller is installed on
requires a slight modification. Since a concrete specialty contractor would be used for the
project, staff determined that a chronic drainage issue in the central plant area could be
remedied at the same time as the work for the chiller replacement project. This would provide
a cost-savings benefit to the city by having this work done while a contractor is already on the
site.
As previously mentioned, the system is currently running at 50% capacity. While the chiller has
been able to keep up with demand so far, should the second compressor fail, the system would
lose the ability to cool the building. A temporary chiller could be installed but it would take up
to 30 days to mobilize, depending on chiller availability.
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the plans, specifications and contract documents,
authorize the City Clerk to advertise the project and appropriate funds in an amount not to
exceed $573,330, which will allow the urgent repairs to be addressed.
Fiscal Analysis
The mechanical failure of the chiller was unexpected so no funding for this project has been
established. Staff recommend that the City Council authorize the appropriation of $573,330
from the Infrastructure Repair and Replacement fund to fund the project, as shown in the table
below:

Police & Fire Headquarters Central Plant Repair Project
Engineer’s estimate -$445,500
Rental chiller and equipment during construction -$37,680
Construction management services (estimated) -$45,600
Construction contingency (estimated) -$44,550
Total estimated project costs -$573,330
Appropriations requested $573,330
Next Steps
Upon the City Council’s approval, the City Manager or designee will initiate a project number
and appropriate $573,330 from the Infrastructure Repair and Replacement Fund to the project,
and the City Clerk will advertise for bids to construct the project.
Staff will evaluate the bids received and identify the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Staff will then return to the City Council with a recommendation to award a construction
contract to the identified bidder by late summer 2025.
Environmental Evaluation
The proposed action for replacement of an existing 100-ton chiller at the Police & Fire
Headquarters central plant is categorically exempt from environmental review under California
Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, Guidelines Section 15301 because it involves the
maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing facilities with negligible or no expansion of
the existing or former use. No exceptions to the categorical exemption as set forth in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15300.2 or Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 19.04.070(C) apply.

Bid. The lowest Bid will be determined on the basis of the total Bid price. In the event of any
00 21 10 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Date Printed: May 6, 2025
Document Version: 1.0 Current Update: December 2023
Page 21
discrepancies, written numbers (e.g., fifty, hundred) will govern over numerical numbers (e.g.,
50, 100) on the Price Proposal Form. Also, the sum of all lump sum line items will govern over the
“Total Proposed Lump Sum Price” line item.
The Agency may reject any Bid which, in its opinion when compared to other Bids received or to
the Agency’s internal estimates, does not accurately reflect the cost to perform the Work. The
Agency may reject as non-responsive any Bid which unevenly weights or allocates costs, including
but not limited to overhead and profit to 1 or more particular Bid items or otherwise violates
Public Contract Code Section 9203.
32. AWARD PROCESS.
Once all Bids are opened and reviewed to determine the lowest responsive and responsible
Bidder, the Board may award the Contract. Once notified by Agency staff, the apparent successful
Bidder should begin to prepare the following documents: (1) the Labor and Materials Bond; (2)
the Performance and Warranty Bond; and (3) the required insurance certificates and
endorsements. Once the Agency notifies the Bidder of the award, the Bidder will have 10 Working
Days from the date of this notification to execute the Contract and supply the Agency with all of
the required documents and certifications or the Bidder may forfeit the Bid security and the
Agency may pursue award of the Contract to the next lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder.
Once the Agency receives all properly drafted and executed documents and certifications from
the Bidder, the Agency shall issue a Notice to Proceed to that Bidder.
33. EXECUTION OF CONTRACT.
As required in these Instructions to Bidders, the Bidder to whom an award is made shall execute
the Contract in the amount determined by the Contract Documents. The Agency may require
appropriate evidence that the persons executing the Contract are duly empowered to do so. The
Contract and bond forms to be executed by the successful Bidder are included within these
Specifications and shall not be detached.
34. BUSINESS LICENSE
The prime Contractor and all Subcontractors are required to have and maintain a valid City of
Carlsbad Business License for the duration of the Contract.
35. PARTICIPATION OF MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES.
The Agency encourages the participation of minority and women-owned businesses.
36. USE OF RECYCLED MATERIALS
The Agency encourages Bidders, suppliers, manufacturers, fabricators and contractors to utilize
recycled and recyclable materials when available, appropriate and approved by the Agency’s
Engineer.

1. If a change is ordered in an item of work covered by a Contract Unit Price, and such change
does not involve substantial change in character of the Work from that shown on the Plans

00 73 00 AGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL GENERAL PROVISIONS Date Printed: May 6, 2025
Document Version: 1.0 Current Update: December 2023
Page 82

conformance with the Plans and Specifications varies from the Bid quantity by 50 percent or
less, payment will be made at the Contract Unit Price. If the actual quantity of the item of
work varies from the Bid quantity by more than 50 percent, payment will be made per Section

Contractor so requests, payment will be made on the basis of an adjustment in the Contract Unit
Price mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Agency, or at the option of the Engineer, on
the basis of Extra Work per Section 2-8; however, in no case will payment be less than would be

actual costs incurred in connection with the eliminated item prior to notification in writing from
the Engineer so stating its elimination. If material conforming to the Plans and Specifications is
ordered by the Contractor for use in the eliminated item prior to the date of notification of
elimination by the Engineer, and if the order for that material cannot be canceled, payment will
be made to the Contractor for the actual cost of the material. In this case, the material shall
become the property of the Agency. Payment will be made to the Contractor for its actual costs
for any further handling. If the material is returnable, the material shall be returned, and payment
will be made to the Contractor for the actual cost of charges made by the supplier for returning
the material and for handling by the Contractor. Actual costs, as used in this Agency Supplement,

performance time, the Contractor, upon submitting a written request, will be granted an
extension of time subject to Section 6-4.2.
00 73 00 AGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL GENERAL PROVISIONS Date Printed: May 6, 2025
Document Version: 1.0 Current Update: December 2023
Page 84
If the Engineer determines that the conditions do not justify an adjustment in compensation, the
Contractor will be notified in writing. This notice will also advise the Contractor of its obligation
to notify the Engineer in writing if the Contractor disagrees.
The Contractor’s failure to give notice of Changed Conditions promptly upon their discovery and
before they are disturbed shall constitute a waiver of all claims in connection with them.
1. The Contractor shall not be entitled to the payment of any additional compensation for any
act, or failure to act, by the Engineer, including failure or refusal to issue a Change Order, or
for the occurrence of any event or other cause, unless the Contractor shall have first given

the particular circumstances giving rise to the potential claim, the reasons for which the
Contractor believes additional compensation may be due and the nature of any and all costs
involved within 20 Working Days of the date of service of the written notice of potential claim
for Changed Conditions. Verbal notifications will not be accepted.

Date:
Company Name:
4. The Contractor’s estimate of costs may be updated when actual costs are known. The
Contractor shall submit proof of its actual costs to the Engineer within 20 Working Days after
the affected Work is completed. Failure to do so shall be cause to deny any later-filed claim
regarding a potential claim described in this Section 2-9.
5. The intent of this Section 2-9 is to have differences between the parties arising under the
Contract brought to the attention of the Engineer at the earliest possible time so that such
matters can be settled, if possible, or other appropriate action promptly taken.

2-10 DISPUTED WORK
ADD 2-10.1 Claims.
1. A Claim is a written demand by the Contractor that seeks an adjustment in the Contract Price,
Contract Time, or other relief associated with a dispute arising under or relating to the
Contract, including a breach of any Contract provision. A voucher, invoice, or other routine
request for payment is not a Claim.
2. A Claim shall conform to these specifications and may be considered after the Agency has
previously denied a request by the Contractor for a Change Order seeking the demanded
relief.
3. The Contractor shall submit a Claim to the Engineer if a dispute occurs that arises from or
relates to the Contract. The Claim shall seek all relief to which the Contractor asserts the
Contractor is entitled as a result of the event(s) giving rise to the dispute. The Contractor’s
failure to process a Claim in accordance with these specifications shall constitute a waiver of
all relief associated with the dispute. Claims are subject to 6-10, “Right to Audit.”
4. The Contractor shall continue to perform the Services and Work and shall maintain the
Schedule during any dispute proceedings. The Engineer will continue to make payments for
undisputed Services and Work.
5. The Agency’s Claims process specified in the Agency Supplement shall not relieve the
Contractor of the Contractor’s statutory obligations to present Claims prior to any action
under the Government Code.
6. Except for those final payment items disputed in the written statement required in Section
7-3.2, all Claims of any dollar amount shall be submitted in a written statement by the
Contractor no later than the date of receipt of the final payment estimate. Those final
payment items disputed in the written statement required in Section 7-3.2 shall be submitted
no later than 30 Calendar Days after receipt of the Final Payment estimate. No Claim will be
considered that was not included in this written statement, nor will any Claim be allowed for
which written notice or protest is required under any provision of this Contract, including
Sections 2-9 Changed Conditions, 2-10 Disputed Work, 4-1(22) Protection, 6-4.4 Written
Notice and Report, or 6-4.2(4) Extensions of Time, unless the Contractor has complied with
notice or protest requirements.
7. The Engineer will consider Contractor’s filed Claims, which must be detailed enough so the
Engineer can determine the basis and amount of the Claims. Contractor shall provide the
Engineer additional information to determine the facts or contentions involved in a Claim if
requested by the Engineer. If additional information is needed, Contractor must provide
Engineer with this information within a reasonable time of being asked for additional
information. Failure to submit such information and details will be sufficient cause for
denying the Claims.
8. Payment for Claims shall be processed by the next payment application of their resolution for
those Claims approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall proceed with informal dispute
resolution under Section 2-10, Disputed Work, for those Claims remaining in dispute.
2-10.1.1 Initiation of Claim.
1. A Claim is a written demand by the Contractor that seeks an adjustment in the Contract Price,
Contract Time, or other relief associated with a dispute arising under or relating to the
00 73 00 AGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL GENERAL PROVISIONS Date Printed: May 6, 2025
Document Version: 1.0 Current Update: December 2023
Page 86
Contract, including a breach of any provision of the Contract. A voucher, invoice, payment
application or other routine request for payment is not a Claim. A Claim shall conform to
these specifications and may be considered after the City has previously denied a request
from the Contractor for a Change Order seeking the demanded relief. The Contractor shall,
consistent with 2-10.1.2, give the Agency written notice of Claim prior to commencing any
Disputed Work. Failure to give the notice shall constitute a waiver of all Claims in connection
with the Disputed Work. If the Contractor and the Agency are unable to reach agreement on
Disputed Work, the Agency may direct the Contractor to proceed with the Work and such
direction shall not be construed as the Agency directing the Contractor’s mean-and-methods
in the execution of the Work. After the Agency has rejected a Change Order request and prior
to proceeding with dispute resolution pursuant to the Public Contract Code, applicable
provisions of which are specified below, the Contractor shall attempt to resolve all disputes
informally through the following dispute resolution chain of command:
For claims with a monetary value of $50,000 or less:
i. Project Inspector
ii. Fleet & Facilities Project Manager
iii. Public Works Manager
For claims with a monetary value greater than $50,000:
iv. Project Inspector
v. Fleet & Facilities Project Manager
vi. Public Works Manager
vii. City Engineer
viii. City Manager or Executive Manager
2. Consistent with Section 2-10.1.2, the Contractor shall submit a complete report within 20
Working Days after completion of the Disputed Work stating its position on the Claim, the
contractual basis for the Claim, along with all documentation supporting the costs, Contract
Time, and all other evidentiary materials. At each level of Claim or appeal of Claim the Agency
will, within 10 Working Days of receipt of the Claim or appeal of Claim, review the
Contractor’s report and respond with a position, request additional information or request
that the Contractor meet and present its report. When additional information or a meeting
is requested the Agency will provide its position within 10 Working Days of receipt of the
additional information or Contractor’s presentation of its report. The Contractor may appeal
each level’s position up to the Deputy City Engineer/Engineering Manager for claims less than
$50,000 and/or up to the City Manager for the City of Carlsbad or Executive Manager for the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District for claims greater than $50,000 after which the Contractor
may proceed under the provisions of the Public Contract Code. The Agency’s failure to state
a position or otherwise respond to a Claim within the timeframes set forth above shall be
deemed a rejection of the Claim by the Agency.
3. The authority within the dispute resolution chain of command is limited to recommending a
resolution to a Claim to the City Manager for the City of Carlsbad or Executive Manager for
the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. Actual approval of the Claim is subject to the Change
Order provisions in the Contract.

4. Any remaining Claims not resolved by the informal dispute resolution process described
above shall be resolved in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 9204, the relevant
portion of which is included below:
(d)(1)(A) Upon receipt of a Claim pursuant to this section, the public entity to which
the Claim applies shall conduct a reasonable review of the Claim and, within a period
not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Claimant a written statement identifying what
portion of the Claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a
Claim, a public entity and a Contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time
period provided in this subdivision.
(B) The Claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the Claim.
(C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the Claimant
a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of
the Claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the
mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a Claim sent by registered
mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three
days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the
45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the Claimant a written statement
identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
(D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim shall be processed and
made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public
entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.
(2)(A) If the Claimant disputes the public entity's written response, or if the public
entity fails to respond to a Claim issued pursuant to this section within the time
prescribed, the Claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and
confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing
sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity
shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the
dispute.
(B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer
conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, the public
entity shall provide the Claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the
Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due
on an undisputed portion of the Claim shall be processed and made within 60 days
after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim,
as identified by the Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation,
with the public entity and the Claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The
public entity and Claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days
after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing. If the parties
cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators
00 73 00 AGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL GENERAL PROVISIONS Date Printed: May 6, 2025
Document Version: 1.0 Current Update: December 2023
Page 88
shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed
portion of the Claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective
mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is
unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable
procedures outside this section.
(C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including,
but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an
independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through
negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to
the timeframes in this section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the Contractor in writing, the
mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation
under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.
(E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes
under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program if
mediation under this section does not resolve the parties' dispute.
(3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a Claim from a Contractor within the time
periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of
this section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that
is denied by reason of the public entity's failure to have responded to a Claim, or its
failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute
an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or
qualifications of the Claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest
at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a Subcontractor or a lower tier Subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a
Claim against a public entity because privity of Contract does not exist, the Contractor
may present to the public entity a Claim on behalf of a Subcontractor or lower tier
Subcontractor. A Subcontractor may request in writing, either on their own behalf or
on behalf of a lower tier Subcontractor, that the Contractor present a Claim for work
which was performed by the Subcontractor or by a lower tier Subcontractor on behalf
of the Subcontractor. The Subcontractor requesting that the Claim be presented to
the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the Claim. Within
45 days of receipt of this written request, the Contractor shall notify the
Subcontractor in writing as to whether the Contractor presented the Claim to the
public entity and, if the original Contractor did not present the Claim, provide the
Subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.

Page 89
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the Plans or
Specifications for any Public Works Project that may give rise to a Claim under this
section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a Claim, the parties may mutually agree
to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil
action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe
reasonable Change Order, Claim, and dispute resolution procedures and
requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual
provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures
set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans
or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an
awardee to meet its contractual obligations.

PROJECTS LESS THAN ONE ACRE (TIER 1 and TIER 2 or Maintenance ONLY Projects that
may be over an acre)
A.Water Pollution Prevention. The Contractor shall plan for and implement temporary
construction BMPs to mitigate the water quality impacts of land disturbance and non-
storm water discharges related to construction activities in accordance the Agency’s
current Municipal Stormwater Permit and Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 15.12. BMPs
are the schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures and
other management practices employed during construction activities to prevent or
reduce pollution of bodies of water protected by the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §
01 41 26 PERMIT REQUIREMENTS Date Printed: May 6, 2025
Document Version: 1.0 Current Update: December 2023
Page 181
1251 et seq.) and the state Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code, §
13000 et seq.), which include oceans, lagoons, lakes, streams and other sensitive water
bodies and water courses. Construction BMPs also include physical devices and structural
construction control measures designed to prevent soil erosion from occurring on the
Work Site, or that are designed to prevent sediment from leaving the Work Site, both of
which are referred to hereafter as “Water Pollution.” BMPs are also intended to protect
the health, safety and welfare of the public and to prevent damage to adjoining public
and private property resulting from construction activities.
B.Pollution prevention practices and the minimum BMPs are required during all 12 months
of the year. BMPs and other erosion control practices must be implemented as the most
important “first line of defense.” The Agency has adopted the CASQA ‘Stormwater Best
Management Practices Handbook: Construction,’ latest edition, as its preferred source
for adopting construction BMPs. All BMPs must correspond to the BMP Fact Sheets
included in the CASQA Construction Handbook. With the approval of the Engineer, or
designee, the Agency may accept comparable BMPs from reputable alternative sources.
As used in this section, “Engineer” shall have the same meaning as “Construction
Manager.”
C.The Contractor shall utilize the Agency’s Tier 1 or Tier 2 SWPPP templates and include all
applicable elements provided in the template. The SWPPP templates are available on the
Agency’s website at [PROJECT ENGINEER insert website address here]. Tier 1 and Tier 2
SWPPP templates include standard storm water prevention construction notes, a Project
information block, a Storm Water Compliance Statement, Agency approval block and a
BMP Checklist Table. The BMP Checklist Table is intended to help the Contractor select
appropriate BMPs best suited to the Project and the Work. Additionally, the SWPPP shall
include a Site plan showing the proposed Project Site and depicting the areas of proposed
construction and proposed locations of construction BMPs. The Tier 1 and Tier 2 SWPPP
plans shall be submitted as additional sheets to the construction plan set.
D.The Engineer may require Contractor to adopt additional BMPs if the Engineer determines
the selected BMP(s) are ineffective or incapable of preventing Water Pollution from
escaping the Work site. Tier 1 and Tier 2 SWPPPs must be combined with proper and
timely installation of the BMPs, thorough and frequent inspections, maintenance, and
documentation. The Contractor shall ensure that the selected BMPs are appropriately
incorporated into the Site design and, if required by the Engineer, must employ a qualified
professional to ensure proper installation and maintenance of the BMPs.
E.The Engineer may suspend the Work, consistent with Supplemental General Provisions
Section 6-6, at the Contractor’s cost, that create Water Pollution or otherwise violate
water quality standards required by the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.)
and the state Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code, § 13000 et seq.) if
the Engineer determines that the Contractor has failed to satisfy all requirements of this
section. If the Contractor violates any provisions of this subsection, or if Water Pollution
occurs in the Work Site for any reason, the Contractor shall immediately notify the
Engineer.
01 41 26 PERMIT REQUIREMENTS Date Printed: May 6, 2025
Document Version: 1.0 Current Update: December 2023
Page 182
F.The Contractor shall immediately notify the Agency if there is a non-stormwater discharge
to the storm drain conveyance system resulting from the Work or Project-related
activities. In addition, the Contractor shall, within 24 hours, submit a written report to the
Engineer describing the incident and corrective actions taken. If for any reason the
Engineer detects Water Pollution, before notification by the Contractor, this written
report shall also include an explanation of why the Contractor had not timely notified the
Engineer.
G.Implementation Costs. Preparation, implementation and management of Water Pollution
prevention activities are incidental to the items of Work and Agency shall not make
additional payment to Contractor for these costs.

Description
Agency Approvals
& Self Certifications
3M™ Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M are open-ended tubular rubber sleeves
with sealing mastic on each end which are factory expanded and assembled onto a unique
three-core system. Two cores, one on each end, are removed after the 3M QSLV-M insulator
has been centered over an inline connector, allowing the ends of the tube to shrink and form a
water-resistant seal. The third, center segment of the core remains inside the cold shrink tube,
acting as a support structure. Sizing of the cores and tube, along with the sealing mastic on each
end, is designed to accommodate the variance in connectors and connector crimping techniques
and final dimensions without degrading the seal and insulating characteristics of the EPDM
rubber tube, while making core removal easy. Two diameter sizes will cover a range of 1000 volt
or less cable from 8 AWG through 500 kcmil, copper and aluminum conductors with crimped
connectors.
In aerial applications where intense UV radiation will be common and visual inspection is not
possible, it is recommended to overwrap the tubing with Scotch® Super 33+ TM Vinyl Electrical
Tape or Scotch® Self-Fusing Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape 70
• Simple hand installation, no tools required
• No heat source, eg. heat guns or torches
• Accommodates wide range of cable sizes, including street lighting
• Excellent wet electrical properties
• Good thermal stability during storage and shipping
• Seals tight, retains resiliency and pressure, even after years of aging and exposure
• Resists acids and alkalies
• Water resistant. Meets water seal requirements of ANSI C119.1
RoHS
2011/65/EU
"RoHS 2011/65/EU" means that the product or part does not contain any of the substances
in excess of the maximum concentration values ("MCVs") in EU Ro HS Directive 2011 /65/EU.
The MCVs are by weight in homogeneous materials. This information represents 3M's
knowledge and belief, which may be based in whole or in part on information provided by

ALSO BE GIVEN TO THE OWNER, CONTRACTOR, AND DEPUTY INSPECTOR. ANY DEFICIENCY
NOTED ON THE OBSERVATION REPORT WILL BECOME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STRUCTURAL
ENGINEER OR ARCHITECT OF RECORD TO VERIFY ITS COMPLETION BY THE STRUCTURAL
OBSERVER.
A FINAL OBSERVATION REPORT MUST BE SUBMITTED WHICH SHOWS THAT ALL OBSERVED
DEFICIENCIES WERE RESOLVED AND STRUCTURAL SYSTEM GENERALLY CONFORMS WITH THE
APPROVED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. THE CITY OF CARLSBAD DEPARTMENT OF
BUILDING SAFETY WILL NOT ACCEPT THE STRUCTURAL WORK WITHOUT THE FINAL OBSERVATION
REPORT AND THE CORRECTION OF SPECIFIC DEFICIENCIES NOTED DURING NORMAL BUILDING
INSPECTION.
