GUIDE FOR COMPLETING
THE "DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS" FORM
REFERENCES Prior to preparation of the following "Subcontractor Disclosure Form" Bidders are
urged to review the definitions in section 1-2 of the General Provisions to this Contract, especially,
"Bid", "Bidder'', "Contract", "Contractor", "Contract Price", "Contract Unit Price", "Engineer'', "Own
Organization", "Subcontractor", and "Work". Bidders are further urged to review sections 2-3
SUBCONTRACTS of the General Provisions.
CAUTIONS This form will be used by the Agency to determine the percentage of work that the
Bidder proposes to perform. Bidders are cautioned that failure to provide complete and correct
information may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive. Any bid that proposes perfor-
mance of more than 50 percent of the work by subcontractors or otherwise to be performed by
forces other than the Bidder's own organization will be rejected as non-responsive. Specialty
items of work that may be so designated by the Engineer on the "Contractor's Proposal" are not
included in computing the percentage of work proposed to be performed by the Bidder.
INSTRUCTIONS The Bidder shall set forth the name and location of business of each and every
subcontractor whom the Bidder proposes to perform work or labor or render service in or about
the work or improvement, and every subcontractor licensed as a contractor by the State of Cali-
fornia whom the Bidder proposes to specially fabricate and install any portion of the work or im-
provement according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications in excess of
one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder's total bid or, in the case of bids or offers for the
construction of streets and highways, including bridges, in excess of one-half of one percent
(0.5%) or ten thousand dollars ($10,000) whichever is greater. Said name(s) and location(s) of
business of subcontractor(s) shall be set forth and included as an integral part of the bid offer.
The Designation of Subcontractors form must be submitted as a part of the Bidder's sealed bid.
Failure to provide complete and correct information may result in rejection of the bid as non-
responsive.
Suppliers of materials from sources outside the limits of work are not subcontractors. The value
of materials and transport of materials from sources outside the limits of work, as shown on the
plans, shall be assigned to the Contractor or the Subcontractor as the case may be, that the
Bidder proposes as installer of said materials. The value of material incorporated in any Subcon-
tractor-installed bid item that is supplied by the Bidder shall be included as a part of the work that
the Bidder proposes to be performed by the Subcontractor installing said item.
When a Subcontractor has a Carlsbad business license, the number must be entered on the
proper form. If the Subcontractor does not have a valid business license, enter "NONE" in the
appropriate space.
When the Bidder proposes using a Subcontractor to construct or install less than 100 percent of
a bid item, the Bidder shall attach an explanation sheet to the Designation of Subcontractor form.
The explanation sheet shall clearly apprise the City of the specific facts that show the Bidder
proposes to perform no less than fifty percent (50%) of the work with its own forces.

Determination of the subcontract amounts for purposes of award of the contract shall be deter-
mined by the City Council in conformance with the provisions of the contract documents and the
various supplemental provisions. The decision of the City Council shall be final.

the required information. The page number and total number of additional form pages shall be

construction of the work or improvements, or a subcontractor licensed by the State
of California who, under subcontract to the prime contractor, specially fabricates
and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings
contained in the plans and specifications, in an amount in excess of one-half of 1
percent of the prime contractor's total bid, or, in the case of bids or offers for the
construction of streets or highways, including bridges, in excess of one-half of 1
percent of the prime contractor's total bid or ten thousand dollars ($10,000), which-
ever is greater."
"(b) The portion of the work which will be done by each such subcontractor under
this act. The prime contractor shall list only one subcontractor for each such portion
as is defined by the prime contractor in his bid."
If the Contractor fails to specify a Subcontractor or specifies more than one Subcontractor for the
same portion of the work to be performed under the Contract (in excess of one-half of 1 percent
of the Contractor's total Bid), the Contractor shall be qualified to perform that portion itself, and
shall perform that portion itself, except as otherwise provided in the Code.
As provided in Section 4107, no Contractor whose Bid is accepted shall substitute any person as
Subcontractor in place of the Subcontractor listed in the original Bid, except for causes and by
procedures established in Section 4107.5. This section provides procedures to correct a clerical
error in the listing of a Subcontractor.
Section 411 0 provides that a Contractor violating any of the provisions of the Chapter violates the
Contract and the Board may exercise the option either to cancel the Contract or assess the Con-
tractor a penalty in an amount of not more than 10 percent of the subcontract involved, after a
public hearing.

Should the Contractor fail to adhere to the provisions requiring the Contractor to complete 50
percent of the contract price with its own organization, the Agency may at its sole discretion elect
to cancel the contract or deduct an amount equal to 1 0 percent of the value of the work performed
in excess of 50 percent of the contract price by other than the Contractor's own organization. The
Board shall be the sole body for determination of a violation of these provisions. In any proceed-
ings under this section, the prime contractor shall be entitled to a public hearing before the Board
and shall be notified ten (10) days in advance of the time and location of said hearing. The deter-
mination of the City Council shall be final.
2-3.2 Additional Responsibility. The Contractor shall give personal attention to the fulfillment
of the Contract and shall keep the Work under its control. The Contractor shall perform, with its
own organization, Contract work amounting to at least 50 percent of the Contract Price except
that any designated "Specialty Items" may be performed by subcontract, and the amount of any
such "Specialty Items" so performed may be deducted from the Contract Price before computing
the amount required to be performed by the Contractor with its own organization. "Specialty Items"
will be identified by the Agency in the Bid or Proposal. Where an entire item is subcontracted, the
value of work subcontracted will be based on the Contract Unit Price. When a portion of an item
is subcontracted, the value of work subcontracted will be based on the estimated percentage of
the Contract Unit Price. This will be determined from information submitted by the Contractor, and
subject to approval by the Engineer.
Before the work of any Subcontractor is started, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for
approval a written statement showing the work to be subcontracted giving the name and business
of each Subcontractor and description and value of each portion of the work to be so subcon-
tracted.
2-3.3 Status of Subcontractors. Subcontractors shall be considered employees of the Con-
tractor, and the Contractor shall be responsible for their work.
2-4 CONTRACT BONDS. Before execution of the Contract, the Bidder shall file surety
bonds with the Agency to be approved by the Board in the amounts and for the purposes noted
below. Bonds issued by a surety, who is authorized to issue bonds in California, and whose bond-
ing limitation shown in said circular is sufficient to provide bonds in the amount required by the
Contract shall be deemed to be approved unless specifically rejected by the Agency. Bonds from
all other sureties shall be accompanied by all of the documents enumerated in Code of Civil Pro-
cedure 995.660 (a). The Bidder shall pay all bond premiums, costs, and incidentals.
Each bond shall incorporate, by reference, the Contract and be signed by both the Bidder and
Surety and the signature of the authorized agent of the Surety shall be notarized.
The Contractor shall provide a faithful performance/warranty bond and payment bond (labor and
materials bond) for this contract. The faithful performance/warranty bond shall be in a sum not
less than one hundred percent of the total amount payable by the terms of this contract. The
Contractor shall provide bonds to secure payment of laborers and materials suppliers in a sum
not less than one hundred percent of the total amount payable by the terms of this contract.
Both bonds shall extend in full force and effect and be retained by the Agency during this project
until they are released according to the provisions of this section.

Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 67 of 446
The faithful performance/warranty bond will be reduced to 25 percent of the original amount 30
days after recordation of the Notice of Completion and will remain in full force and effect for the
one year warranty period and until all warranty repairs are completed to the satisfaction of the
Engineer. The bonds to secure payment of laborers and materials suppliers shall be released six
months plus 30 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion if all claims have been paid.
All bonds are to be placed with a surety insurance carrier admitted and authorized to transact the
business of insurance in California and whose assets exceed their liabilities in an amount equal
to or in excess of the amount of the bond. The bonds are to contain the following documents:
1) An original, or a certified copy, of the un-revoked appointment, power of attorney, by laws, or
other instrument entitling or authorizing the person who executed the bond to do so.
2) A certified copy of the certificate of authority of the insurer issued by the insurance commis-
sioner.
If the bid is accepted, the Agency may require a financial statement of the assets and liabilities of
the insurer at the end of the quarter calendar year prior to 30 days next preceding the date of the
execution of the bond. The financial statement shall be made by an officer's certificate as defined
in Section 173 of the Corporations Code. In the case of a foreign insurer, the financial statement
may be verified by the oath of the principal officer or manager residing within the United States.
Should any bond become insufficient, the Contractor shall renew the bond within 1 0 days after
receiving notice from the Agency.
Should any Surety at any time be unsatisfactory to the Board, notice will be given the Contractor
to that effect. No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under the contract until
a new Surety shall qualify and be accepted by the Board.
Changes in the Work or extensions of time, made pursuant to the Contract, shall in no way release
the Contractor or Surety from its obligations. Notice of such changes or extensions shall be waived
by the Surety.

SECTION 3 -CHANGES IN WORK
3-1 CHANGES REQUESTED BY THE CONTRACTOR.
3-1.1 General. Changes in the Plans and Specifications, requested in writing by the Contractor,
which do not materially affect the Work and which are not detrimental to the Work or to the inter-
ests of the Agency, may be granted by the Engineer. Nothing herein shall be construed as grant-
ing a right to the Contractor to demand acceptance of such changes.
3-1.2 Payment for Changes Requested by the Contractor. If such changes are granted, they
shall be made at a reduction in cost or no additional cost to the Agency.
3-2 CHANGES INITIATED BY THE AGENCY.
3-2.1 General. The Agency may change the Plans, Specifications, character of the work, or
quantity of work provided the total arithmetic dollar value of all such changes, both additive and
deductive, does not exceed 25 percent of the Contract Price. Should it become necessary to
exceed this limitation, the change shall be by written Supplemental Agreement between the Con-
tractor and Agency, unless both parties agree to proceed with the change by Change Order.
Change Orders shall be in writing and state the dollar value of the change or established method
of payment, any adjustment in contract time of completion, and when negotiated prices are in-
volved, shall provide for the Contractor's signature indicating acceptance.
3-2.2 Payment.
3-2.2.1 Contract Unit Prices. 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 or specified in the Specifications, then an adjustment in payment will be
made. This adjustment will be based upon the increase or decrease in quantity and the Contract
Unit Price.
If the actual quantity of an item of work covered by a Contract Unit Price and constructed in con-
formance 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 said item of work varies
from the Bid quantity by more than 50 percent, payment will be made per Section 3-2.2.2 or 3-
2.2.3 as appropriate.
If a change is ordered in an item of work covered by a Contract Unit Price, and such change does
involve a substantial change in the character of the work from that shown on the Plans or specified
in the Specifications, an adjustment in payment will be made per Section 3-2.4.
3-2.2.2 Increases of More Than 50 Percent. Should the actual quantity of an item of work cov-
ered by a Contract Unit Price and constructed in conformance with the Plans and Specifications,
exceed the Bid quantity by more than 50 percent, payment for the quantity in excess of 150 per-
cent of the Bid quantity 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 3-3. The Extra Work per Section 3-3, basis of payment, shall not
include fixed costs. Fixed costs shall be deemed to have been recovered by the Contractor
through payment for 150 percent of the Bid quantity at the Contract Unit Price.

Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 75 of 446
3-2.2.3 Decreases of More Than 50 Percent. Should the actual quantity of an item of work cov-
ered by a Contract Unit Price, and constructed in conformance with the Plans and Specifications,
be less than 50 percent of the Bid quantity, an adjustment in payment will not be made unless so
requested in writing by the Contractor. If the 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 3-3; however, in
no case will payment be less than would be made for the actual quantity at the Contract Unit Price
nor more than would be made for 50 percent of the Bid quantity at the Contract Unit Price.
3-2.3 Stipulated Unit Prices. Stipulated Unit Prices are unit prices established by the Agency
in the Contract Documents as distinguished from Contract Unit Prices submitted by the Contrac-
tor. Stipulated Unit Prices may be used for the adjustment of Contract changes when so specified
in the Special Provisions.
3-2.4 Agreed Prices. Agreed Prices are prices for new or unforeseen work, or adjustments in
Contract Unit Prices per Section 3-2.2, established by mutual agreement between the Contractor
and the Agency. If mutual agreement cannot be reached, the Engineer may direct the Contractor
to proceed on the basis of Extra Work in accordance per Section 3-3, except as otherwise spec-
ified in Sections 3-2.2.2 and 3-2.2.3.
3.2.4.1 Schedule of Values. Prior to construction, Contractor shall provide a schedule of values
for all lump sum bid items that shall be used for the purpose of progress payments. The prices
shall be valid for the purpose of change orders to the project.
3.2.5 Eliminated Items. Should any Bid item be eliminated in its entirety, payment will be made
to the Contractor for its actual costs incurred in connection with the eliminated item prior to notifi-
cation 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 herein, shall be
computed on the basis of Extra Work per Section 3-3.
3-3 EXTRA WORK.
3-3.1 General. New or unforeseen work will be classified as "extra work" when the Engineer
determines that it is not covered by Contract Unit Prices or stipulated unit prices.
3-3.2 Payment.
3-3.2.1 General. When the price for the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the Agency will pay
for the extra work based on the accumulation of costs as provided herein.

Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 76 of 446
3-3.2.2 Basis for Establishing Costs.
(a) Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages of workers performing the extra
work at the time the extra work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes, workers com-
pensation insurance, liability insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship
funds, and other direct costs, resulting from Federal, State, or local laws, as well as assessments
or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements.
The use of a labor classification which would increase the extra work cost will not be permitted
unless the Contractor establishes the necessity for such additional costs. Labor costs for equip-
ment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice
for equipment rental. The labor cost for foremen shall be proportioned to all of their assigned work
and only that applicable to extra work will be paid.
Nondirect labor costs, including superintendence, shall be considered part of the markup of Sec-
tion 3-3.2.3 (a).
(b) Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which
such materials are locally available and delivered to the job site in the quantities involved, plus
sales tax, freight, and delivery.
The Agency reserves the right to approve materials and sources of supply, or to supply materials
to the Contractor if necessary for the progress of the Work. No markup shall be applied to any
material provided by the Agency.
(c) Tool and Equipment Rental. No payment will be made for the use of tools which have a
replacement value of $200 or less.
Regardless of ownership, the rates and right-of-way delay factors to be used in determining rental
and delay costs shall be the edition of the, "Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates" pub-
lished by CAL TRANS, current at the time of the actual use of the tool or equipment. The right-of-
way delay factors therein shall be used as multipliers of the rental rates for determining the value
of costs for delay to the Contractor and subcontractors, if any. The labor surcharge rates published
therein are not a part of this contract.
The rental rates paid shall include the cost of fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary
attachments, repairs and maintenance of any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance, and all inci-
dentals. Necessary loading and transportation costs for equipment used on the extra work shall
be included.
If equipment is used intermittently and, when not in use, could be returned to its rental source at
less expense to the Agency than holding it at the Work site, it shall be returned, unless the Con-
tractor elects to keep it at the Work site, at no expense to the Agency.
All equipment shall be acceptable to the Engineer, in good working condition, and suitable for the
purpose for which it is to be used. Manufacturer's ratings and approved modifications shall be
used to classify equipment and it shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.

Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 77 of 446
The reported rental time for equipment already at the Work site shall be the duration of its use on
the extra work. This time begins when equipment is first put into actual operation on the extra
work, plus the time required to move it from its previous site and back, or to a closer site.
(d) Other Items. The Agency may authorize other items which may be required on the extra
work, including labor, services, material, and equipment. These items must be different in their
nature from those required for the Work, and be of a type not ordinarily available from the Con-
tractor or Subcontractors.
Invoices covering all such items in detail shall be submitted with the request for payment.
(e) Invoices. Vendors' invoices for material, equipment rental and other expenditures shall be
submitted with the request for payment. If the request for payment is not substantiated by invoices
or other documentation, the Agency may establish the cost of the item involved at the lowest price
which was current at the time of the report.
3-3.2.3 Markup.
(a) Work by Contractor. The following percentages shall be added to the Contractor's costs
and shall constitute the markup for all overhead and profits:
1) Labor .................................... 20
2) Materials ............................... 15
3) Equipment Rental ................... 15
4) Other Items and Expenditures ... 15
To the sum of the costs and markups provided for in this section, 1 percent shall be added as
compensation for bonding.
(b) Work by Subcontractor. When all or any part of the extra work is performed by a Sub-
contractor, the markup established in Section 3-3.2.3(a) shall be applied to the Subcontractor's
actual cost of such work. A markup of 10 percent on the first $5,000 of the subcontracted portion
of the extra work and a markup of 5 percent on work added in excess of $5,000 of the subcon-
tracted portion of the extra work may be added by the Contractor.
3-3.3 Daily Reports by Contractor. When the price for the extra work cannot be agreed upon,
the Contractor shall submit a daily report to the Engineer on forms approved by the Agency.
Included are applicable delivery tickets, listing all labor, materials, and equipment involved for that
day, and other services and expenditures when authorized. Payment for extra work will not be
made until such time that the Contractor submits completed daily reports and all supporting doc-
uments to the Engineer. Failure to submit the daily report by the close of the next working day
may waive any rights for that day. An attempt shall be made to reconcile the report daily, and it
shall be signed by the Engineer and the Contractor. In the event of disagreement, pertinent notes
shall be entered by each party to explain points which cannot be resolved immediately. Each party
shall retain a signed copy of the report. Reports by Subcontractors or others shall be submitted
through the Contractor.
The report shall:
1. Show names of workers, classifications, and hours worked.
2. Describe and list quantities of materials used.
l'\ •+;' Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 71 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 78 of 446
3. Show type of equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including
loading and transportation, if applicable.
4. Describe other services and expenditures in such detail as the Agency may require.
3-4 CHANGED CONDITIONS. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer of the fol-
lowing Work site conditions (hereinafter called changed conditions), in writing, upon their discov-
ery and before they are disturbed:
1. Subsurface or latent physical conditions differing materially from those represented in the
Contract;
2. Unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature differing materially from those ordinarily
encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character being per-
formed; and
3. Material differing from that represented in the Contract which the Contractor believes may
be hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is
required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class Ill disposal site in accordance with
provisions of existing law.
The Engineer will promptly investigate conditions which appear to be changed conditions. If the
Engineer determines that conditions are changed conditions and they will materially affect perfor-
mance time, the Contractor, upon submitting a written request, will be granted an extension of
time subject to the provisions of 6-6.
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 therewith.
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 hap-
pening of any event, thing, occurrence, or other cause, unless the Contractor shall have first given
the Engineer due written notice of potential claim as hereinafter specified. Compliance with this
section shall not be required as a prerequisite to notice provisions in Section 6-7.3 Contract Time
Accounting, nor to any claim that is based on differences in measurement or errors of computation
as to contract quantities. The written notice of potential claim for changed conditions shall be
submitted by the Contractor to the Engineer upon their discovery and prior to the time that the
Contractor performs the work giving rise to the potential claim. The Contractor's failure to give
written notice of potential claim for changed conditions to the agency upon their discovery and
before they are disturbed shall constitute a waiver of all claims in connection therewith.
The Contractor shall provide the City with a written document containing a description of the par-
ticular circumstances giving rise to the potential claim, the reasons for which the Contractor be-
lieves additional compensation may be due and 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 are disallowed.
The potential claim shall include the following certification relative to the California False Claims
Act, Government Code Sections 12650-12655.

Company Name: ___________________________ _
The Contractor's estimate of costs may be updated when actual costs are known. The Contractor
shall submit substantiation of its actual costs to the Engineer within 20 working days after the
affected work is completed. Failure to do so shall be sufficient cause for denial of any claim sub-
sequently filed on the basis of said notice of potential claim.
It is the intention of this section that differences between the parties arising under and by virtue
of the contract be brought to the attention of the Engineer at the earliest possible time in order
that such matters be settled, if possible, or other appropriate action promptly taken.
3-5 DISPUTED WORK. The Contractor shall give the agency written notice of potential claim
prior to commencing any disputed work. Failure to give said notice shall constitute a waiver of all
claims in connection therewith. 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.
Prior to proceeding with dispute resolution pursuant to Public Contract Code provisions specified
hereinafter, the contractor shall attempt to resolve all disputes informally through the following
dispute resolution chain of command:
1. Project Inspector
2. Construction Manager
3. Deputy City Engineer, Construction Management & Inspection
4. City Engineer
5. City Manager
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 and all other evidentiary materials. At each level of claim or
appeal of claim the City will, within 1 0 working days of receipt of said claim or appeal of claim,
review the Contractor's report and respond with a position, request additional information or re-
quest that the Contractor meet and present its report. When additional information or a meeting
is requested the City will provide its position within 10 working days of receipt of said additional
information or Contractor's presentation of its report. The Contractor may appeal each level's
position up to the City Manager after which the Contractor may proceed under the provisions of
the Public Contract Code.

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

SECTION 4 -CONTROL OF MATERIALS
4-1 MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP.
4-1.1. General. All materials, parts, and equipment furnished by the Contractor in the Work shall
be new, high grade, and free from defects. Quality of work shall be in accordance with the gener-
ally accepted standards. Material and work quality shall be subject to the Engineer's approval.
Materials and work quality not conforming to the requirements of the Specifications shall be con-
sidered defective and will be subject to rejection. Defective work or material, whether in place or
not, shall be removed immediately from the site by the Contractor, at its expense, when so di-
rected by the Engineer.
If the Contractor fails to replace any defective or damaged work or material after reasonable no-
tice, the Engineer may cause such work or materials to be replaced. The replacement expense
will be deducted from the amount to be paid to the Contractor.
Used or secondhand materials, parts, and equipment may be used only if permitted by the Spec-
ifications.
4-1.2 Protection of Work and Materials. The Contractor shall provide and maintain storage
facilities and employ such measures as will preserve the specified quality and fitness of materials
to be used in the Work. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. The Con-
tractor shall also adequately protect new and existing work and all items of equipment for the
duration of the Contract.
The Contractor shall not, without the Agency's consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or
remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be neces-
sary for the completion of the Contract.
4-1.3 Inspection Requirements.
4-1.3.1 General. Unless otherwise specified, inspection is required at the source for such typical
materials and fabricated items as bituminous paving mixtures, structural concrete, metal fabrica-
tion, metal casting, welding, concrete pipe manufacture, protective coating application, and similar
shop or plant operations.
Steel pipe in sizes less than 18 inches and vitrified clay and cast-iron pipe in all sizes are accepta-
ble upon certification as to compliance with the Specifications, subject to sampling and testing by
the Agency. Standard items of equipment such as electric motors, conveyors, elevators, plumbing
fixtures, etc., are subject to inspection at the job site only. Special items of equipment such as
designed electrical panel boards, large pumps, sewage plant equipment, etc., are subject to in-
spection at the source, normally only for performance testing. The Specifications may require
inspection at the source for other items not typical of those listed in this section.
The Contractor shall provide the Engineer free and safe access to any and all parts of work at
any time. Such free and safe access shall include means of safe access and egress, ventilation,
lighting, shoring, dewatering and all elements pertaining to the safety of persons as contained in
the State of California, California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Industrial Relations, Chapter 4,
Division of Industrial Safety, Subchapter 4, Construction Safety Orders and such other safety
{'\ •+;' Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 79 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 86 of 446
regulations as may apply. Contractor shall furnish Engineer with such information as may be nec-
essary to keep the Engineer fully informed regarding progress and manner of work and character
of materials. Inspection or testing of the whole or any portion of the work or materials incorporated
in the work shall not relieve Contractor from any obligation to fulfill this Contract.
4-1.3.2 Inspection of Materials Not Locally Produced. When the Contractor intends to pur-
chase materials, fabricated products, or equipment from sources located more than 50 miles out-
side the geographical limits of the Agency, an inspector or accredited testing laboratory (approved
by the Engineer), shall be engaged by the Contractor at its expense, to inspect the materials,
equipment or process. This approval shall be obtained before producing any material or equip-
ment. The inspector or representative of the testing laboratory shall judge the materials by the
requirements of the Plans and Specifications. The Contractor shall forward reports required by
the Engineer. No material or equipment shall be shipped nor shall any processing, fabrication or
treatment of such materials be done without proper inspection by the approved agent. Approval
by said agent shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for complying with the Contract
requirements.
4-1.3.3 Inspection by the Agency. The Agency will provide all inspection and testing laboratory
services within 50 miles of the geographical limits of the Agency. For private contracts, all costs
of inspection at the source, including salaries and mileage costs, shall be paid by the permittee.
4-1.4 Test of Material. Before incorporation in the Work, the Contractor shall submit samples
of materials, as the Engineer may require, at no cost to the Agency. The Contractor, at its ex-
pense, shall deliver the materials for testing to the place and at the time designated by the Engi-
neer. Unless otherwise provided, all initial testing will be performed under the direction of the
Engineer, and at no expense to the Contractor. If the Contractor is to provide and pay for testing,
it will be stated in the Specifications. For private contracts, the testing expense shall be borne by
the permittee.
The Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing, at least 15 days in advance, of its intention to
use materials for which tests are specified, to allow sufficient time to perform the tests. The notice
shall name the proposed supplier and source of material.
If the notice of intent to use is sent before the materials are available for testing or inspection, or
is sent so far in advance that the materials on hand at the time will not last but will be replaced by
a new lot prior to use on the Work, it will be the Contractor's responsibility to renotify the Engineer
when samples which are representative may be obtained.
Except as specified in these Provisions, the Agency will bear the cost of testing of locally produced
materials and/or on-site workmanship where the results of such tests meet or exceed the require-
ments indicated in the Standard Specifications, Technical Specification, and any Supplemental
Provisions. The cost of all other tests shall be borne by the Contractor.
At the option of the Engineer, the source of supply of each of the materials shall be approved by
the Engineer before the delivery is started. All materials proposed for use may be inspected or
tested at any time during their preparation and use. If, after incorporating such materials into the
Work, it is found that sources of supply that have been approved do not furnish a uniform product,
or if the product from any source proves unacceptable at any time, the Contractor shall furnish
approved material from other approved sources. If any product proves unacceptable after im-
proper storage, handling or for any other reason it shall be rejected, not incorporated into the work
and shall be removed from the project site all at the Contractor's expense.
{'. •f' Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 80 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 87 of 446
Compaction tests may be made by the Engineer and all costs for tests that meet or exceed the
requirements of the specifications shall be borne by the Agency. Said tests may be made at any
place along the work as deemed necessary by the Engineer. The costs of any retests made nec-
essary by noncompliance with the specifications shall be borne by the Contractor.
4-1.5 Certification. The Engineer may waive materials testing requirements of the Specifica-
tions and accept the manufacturer's written certification that the materials to be supplied· meet
those requirements. Material test data may be required as part of the certification.
4-1.6 Trade Names or Equals. The Contractor may supply any of the materials specified or
offer an equivalent. The Engineer shall determine whether the material offered is equivalent to
that specified. Adequate time shall be allowed for the Engineer to make this determination.
Whenever any particular material, process, or equipment is indicated by patent, proprietary or
brand name, or by name of manufacturer, such wording is used for the purpose of facilitating its
description and shall be deemed to be followed by the words or equal. A listing of materials is
not intended to be comprehensive, or in order of preference. The Contractor may offer any mate-
rial, process, or equipment considered to be equivalent to that indicated. The substantiation of
offers shall be submitted as provided in the contract documents.
The Contractor shall, at its expense, furnish data concerning items offered by it as equivalent to
those specified. The Contractor shall have the material tested as required by the Engineer to
determine that the quality, strength, physical, chemical, or other characteristics, including durabil-
ity, finish, efficiency, dimensions, service, and suitability are such that the item will fulfill its in-
tended function.
Test methods shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. Test results shall be reported
promptly to the Engineer, who will evaluate the results and determine if the substitute item is
equivalent. The Engineer's findings shall be final. Installation and use of a substitute item shall
not be made until approved by the Engineer.
If a substitute offered by the Contractor is not found to be equal to the specified material, the
Contractor shall furnish and install the specified material.
The specified Contract completion time shall not be affected by any circumstance developing from
the provisions of this section.
The Contractor is responsible for the satisfactory performance of substituted items. If, in the sole
opinion of the Engineer, the substitution is determined to be unsatisfactory in performance, ap-
pearance, durability, compatibility with associated items, availability of repair parts and suitability
of application the Contractor shall remove the substituted item and replace it with the originally
specified item at no cost to the Agency.
4-1.7 Weighing and Metering Equipment. All scales and metering equipment used for propor-
tioning materials shall be inspected for accuracy and certified within the past 12 months by the
State of California Bureau of Weights and Measures, by the County Director or Sealer of Weights
and Measures, or by a scale mechanic registered with or licensed by the County.
l'\ • ., Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 81 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 88 of 446
The accuracy of the work of a scale service agency, except as stated herein, shall meet the
standards of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Code of Regula-
tions pertaining to weighing devices. A certificate of compliance shall be presented, prior to oper-
ation, to the Engineer for approval and shall be renewed whenever required by the Engineer at
no cost to the Agency.
All scales shall be arranged so they may be read easily from the operator's platform or area. They
shall indicate the true net weight without the application of any factor. The figures of the scales
shall be clearly legible. Scales shall be accurate to within 1 percent when tested with the plant
shut down. Weighing equipment shall be so insulated against vibration or moving of other oper-
ating equipment in the plant area that the error in weighing with the entire plant running will not
exceed 2 percent for any setting nor 1.5 percent for any batch.
4-1.8 Calibration of Testing Equipment. Testing equipment, such as, but not limited to pres-
sure gages, metering devices, hydraulic systems, force (load) measuring instruments, and strain-
measuring devices shall be calibrated by a testing agency acceptable to the Engineer at intervals
not to exceed 12 months and following repairs, modification, or relocation of the equipment. Cal-
ibration certificates shall be provided when requested by the Engineer.
4-1.9 Construction Materials Dispute Resolution (Soils, Rock Materials, Concrete, Mortar
and Related Materials, Masonry Materials, Bituminous Materials, Rock Products, and Mod-
ified Asphalts). In the interest of safety and public value, whenever credible evidence arises to
contradict the test values of materials, the Agency and the Contractor will initiate an immediate
and cooperative investigation. Test values of materials are results of the materials' tests, as de-
fined by these Specifications or by the special provisions, required to accept the Work. Credible
evidence is process observations or test values gathered using industry accepted practices. A
contradiction exists whenever test values or process observations of the same or similar materials
are diverse enough such that the work acceptance or performance becomes suspect. The inves-
tigation shall allow access to all test results, procedures, and facilities relevant to the disputed
work and consider all available information and, when necessary, gather new and additional in-
formation in an attempt to determine the validity, the cause, and if necessary, the remedy to the
contradiction. If the cooperative investigation reaches any resolution mechanism acceptable to
both the Agency and the Contractor, the contradiction shall be considered resolved and the co-
operative investigation concluded. Whenever the cooperative investigation is unable to reach res-
olution, the investigation may then either conclude without resolution or continue by written noti-
fication of one party to the other requesting the implementation of a resolution process by com-
mittee. The continuance of the investigation shall be contingent upon recipient's agreement and
acknowledged in writing within 3 calendar days after receiving a request. Without acknowledge-
ment, the investigation shall conclude without resolution. The committee shall consist of three
State of California Registered Civil Engineers. Within 7 calendar days after the written request
notification, the Agency and the Contractor will each select one engineer. Within 14 calendar days
of the written request notification, the two selected engineers will select a third engineer. The goal
in selection of the third member is to complement the professional experience of the first two
engineers. Should the two engineers fail to select the third engineer, the Agency and the Con-
tractor shall each propose 2 engineers to be the third member within 21 calendar days after the
written request notification. The first two engineers previously selected shall then select one of
the four proposed engineers in a blind draw. The committee shall be a continuance of the coop-
erative investigation and will re-consider all available information and if necessary gather new and
additional information to determine the validity, the cause, and if necessary, the remedy to the
contradiction. The committee will focus upon the performance adequacy of the material(s) using
standard engineering principles and practices and to ensure public value, the committee may
{'\ •+;' Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 82 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 89 of 446
provide engineering recommendations as necessary. Unless otherwise agreed, the committee
will have 30 calendar days from its formation to complete their review and submit their findings.
The final resolution of the committee shall be by majority opinion, in writing, stamped and signed.
Should the final resolution not be unanimous, the dissenter may attach a written, stamped, and
signed minority opinion. Once started, the resolution process by committee shall continue to full
conclusion unless:
1. Within 7 days of the formation of the committee, the Agency and the Contractor reach an
acceptable resolution mechanism; or
2. Within 14 days of the formation of the committee, the initiating party withdraws its written
notification and agrees to bear all investigative related costs thus far incurred; or
3. At any point by the mutual agreement of the Agency and the Contractor. Unless otherwise
agreed, the Contractor shall bear and maintain a record for all the investigative costs until
resolution. Should th.e investigation discover assignable causes for the contradiction, the
assignable party, the Agency or the Contractor, shall bear all costs associated with the
investigation. Should assignable causes for the contradiction extended to both parties, the
investigation will assign costs cooperatively with each party or when necessary, equally.
Should the investigation substantiate a contradiction without assignable cause, the inves-
tigation will assign costs cooperatively with each party or when necessary, equally. Should
the investigation be unable to substantiate a contradiction, the initiator of the investigation
shall bear all investigative costs. All claim notification requirements of the contract pertain-
ing to the contradiction shall be suspended until the investigation is concluded.
4-2 MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION, HANDLING AND STORAGE. The Contractor
shall order, purchase, transport, coordinate delivery, accept delivery, confirm the quantity and
quality received, prepare storage area(s), store, handle, protect, move, relocate, remove and
dispose excess of all materials used to accomplish the Work. Materials shall be delivered to the
site of the work only during working hours, as defined in Section 6-7.2, and shall be accompanied
by bills of lading that shall clearly state for each delivery: the name of the Contractor as con-
signee, the project name and number, address of delivery and name of consignor and a descrip-
tion of the material(s) shipped. Prior to storage of any materials which have been shipped to or
by the Contractor to any location within the Agency's boundaries the Contractor shall provide the
Engineer a copy of lease agreements for each property where such materials are stored. The
lease agreement shall clearly state the term of the lease, the description of materials allowed to
be stored and shall provide for the removal of the materials and restoration of the storage site
within the time allowed for the Work. All such storage shall conform to all laws and ordinances
that may pertain to the materials stored and to preparation of the storage site and the location of
the site on which the materials are stored. Loss, damage or deterioration of all stored materials
shall be the Contractor's responsibility. Conformance to the requirements of this section, both
within and outside the limits of work are a part of the Work. The Engineer shall have the right to
verify the suitability of materials and their proper storage at any time during the Work.

SECTION 5 -UTILITIES
5-1 LOCATION. The Agency and affected utility companies have, by a search of known rec-
ords, endeavored to locate and indicate on the Plans, all utilities which exist within the limits of
the work. However, the accuracy and/or completeness of the nature, size and/or location of utili-
ties indicated on the Plans is not guaranteed.
Where underground main distribution conduits such as water, gas, sewer, electric power, tele-
phone, or cable television are shown on the Plans, the Contractor shall assume that every prop-
erty parcel will be served by a service connection for each type of utility.
As provided in Section 4216 of the California Government Code, at least 2 working days prior to
commencing any excavation, the Contractor shall contact the regional notification center (Under-
ground Service Alert of Southern California) and obtain an inquiry identification number.
The California Department of Transportation is not required by Section 4216 to become a member
of the regional notification center. The Contractor shall contact it for location of its subsurface
installations.
The Contractor shall determine the location and depth of all utilities, including service connections,
which have been marked by the respective owners and which may affect or be affected by its
operations. If no pay item is provided in the Contract for this work, full compensation for such work
shall be considered as included in the prices bid for other items of work.
5-2 PROTECTION. The Contractor shall not interrupt the service function or disturb the sup-
port of any utility without authority from the owner or order from the Agency. All valves, switches,
vaults, and meters shall be maintained readily accessible for emergency shutoff.
Where protection is required to ensure support of utilities located as shown on the Plans or in
accordance with Section 5-1, the Contractor shall, unless otherwise provided, furnish and place
the necessary protection at its expense.
Upon learning of the existence and location of any utility omitted from or shown incorrectly on the
Plans, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer in writing. When authorized by the
Engineer, support or protection of the utility will be paid for as provided in Section 3-2.2.3 or 3-3.
The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer and the utility owner if any utility is disturbed
or damaged. The Contractor shall bear the costs of repair or replacement of any utility damaged
if located as noted in Section 5-1.
When placing concrete around or contiguous to any non-metallic utility installation, the Contractor
shall at its expense:
1. Furnish and install a 2 inch cushion of expansion joint material or other similar resilient
material; or
2. Provide a sleeve or other opening which will result in a 2 inch minimum-clear annular
space between the concrete and the utility; or
3. Provide other acceptable means to prevent embedment in or bonding to the concrete.
l' • ., Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 84 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 91 of 446
Where concrete is used for backfill or for structures which would result in embedment, or partial
embedment, of a metallic utility installation; or where the coating, bedding or other cathodic pro-
tection system is exposed or damaged by the Contractor's operations, the Contractor shall notify
the Engineer and arrange to secure the advice of the affected utility owner regarding the proce-
dures required to maintain or restore the integrity of the system.
5-3 REMOVAL. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall remove all interfering por-
tions of utilities shown on the Plans or indicated in the Bid documents as "abandoned" or "to be
abandoned in place". Before starting removal operations, the Contractor shall ascertain from the
Agency whether the abandonment is complete, and the costs involved in the removal and disposal
shall be included in the Bid for the items of work necessitating such removals.
5-4 RELOCATION. When feasible, the owners responsible for utilities within the area af-
fected by the Work will complete their necessary installations, relocations, repairs, or replace-
ments before commencement of work by the Contractor. When the Plans or Specifications indi-
cate that a utility installation is to be relocated, altered, or constructed by others, the Agency will
conduct all negotiations with the owners and work will be done at no cost to the Contractor, except
for manhole frame and cover sets to be brought to grade. Utilities which are relocated in order to
avoid interference shall be protected in their position and the cost of such protection shall be
included in the Bid for the items of work necessitating such relocation.
After award of the Contract, portions of utilities which are found to interfere with the Work will be
relocated, altered or reconstructed by the owners, or the Engineer may order changes in the Work
to avoid interference. Such changes will be paid for in accordance with Section 3-2.
When the Plans or Specifications provide for the Contractor to alter, relocate, or reconstruct a
utility, all costs for such work shall be included in the Bid for the items of work necessitating such
work. Temporary or permanent relocation or alteration of utilities requested by the Contractor for
its convenience shall be its responsibility and it shall make all arrangements and bear all costs.
The utility owner will relocate service connections as necessary within the limits of the Work or
within temporary construction or slope easements. When directed by the Engineer, the Contractor
shall arrange for the relocation of service connections as necessary between the meter and prop-
erty line, or between a meter and the limits of temporary construction or slope easements. The
relocation of such service connections will be paid for in accordance with provisions of Section 3-
3. Payment will include the restoration of all existing improvements which may be affected
thereby. The Contractor may agree with the owner of any utility to disconnect and reconnect in-
terfering service connections. The Agency will not be involved in any such agreement.
In conformance with Section 5-6 the Contractor shall coordinate the work with utility agencies and
companies. Prior to the installation of any and all utility structures within the limits of work by any
utility agency or company, or its contractor, the Contractor shall place all curb or curb and gutter
that is a part of the work and adjacent to the location where such utility structures are shown on
the plans and are noted as being located, relocated or are otherwise shown as installed by others.
In order to minimize delays to the Contractor caused by the failure of other parties to relocate
utilities that interfere with the construction, the Contractor, upon the Engineer's approval, may be
permitted to temporarily omit the portion of work affected by the utility. If such temporary omission
is approved by the Engineer the Contractor shall place survey or other physical control markers
sufficient to locate the curb or curb and gutter to the satisfaction of the utility agency or company.
Such temporary omission shall be for the Contractor's convenience and no additional compensa-
{'\ •+' Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 85 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 92 of 446
tion will be allowed therefore or for additional work, materials or delay associated with the tempo-
rary omission. The portion thus omitted shall be constructed by the Contractor immediately fol-
lowing the relocation of the utility involved unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
5-5 DELAYS. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of its construction schedule insofar as
it affects the protection, removal, or relocation of utilities. Said notification shall be included as a
part of the construction schedule required in Section 6-1. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer
in writing of any subsequent changes in the construction schedule which will affect the time avail-
able for protection, removal, or relocation of utilities.
The Contractor will not be entitled to damages or additional payment for delays attributable to
utility relocations or alterations if correctly located, noted, and completed in accordance with Sec-
tion 5-1.
The Contractor may be given an extension of time for unforeseen delays attributable to unrea-
sonably protracted interference by utilities in performing work correctly shown on the Plans.
The Agency will assume responsibility for the timely removal, relocation, or protection of existing
main or trunkline utility facilities within the area affected by the Work if such utilities are not iden-
tified in the Contract Documents. The Contractor will not be assessed liquidated damages for any
delay caused by failure of Agency to provide for the timely removal, relocation, or protection of
such existing facilities.
If the Contractor sustains loss due to delays attributable to interferences, relocations, or altera-
tions not covered by Section 5-1, which could not have been avoided by the judicious handling of
forces, equipment, or plant, there shall be paid to the Contractor such amount as the Engineer
may find to be fair and reasonable compensation for such part of the Contractor's actual loss as
was unavoidable and the Contractor may be granted an extension of time.
5-6 COOPERATION. When necessary, the Contractor shall so conduct its operations as to
permit access to the Work site and provide time for utility work to be accomplished during the
progress of the Work.

SECTION 6 -PROSECUTION, PROGRESS,
AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORK
6-1 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND COMMENCEMENT OF WORK. Except as oth-
erwise provided herein and unless otherwise prohibited by permits from other agencies as may
be required by law the Contractor shall begin work within five (5) calendar days after receipt of
the "Notice to Proceed".
6-1.1 Pre-Construction Meeting. After, or upon, notification of contract award, the Engineer
will set the time and location for the Preconstruction Meeting. Attendance of the Contractor's man-
agement personnel responsible for the management, administration, and execution of the project
is mandatory for the meeting to be convened. Failure of the Contractor to have the Contractor's
responsible project personnel attend the Preconstruction Meeting will be grounds for default by
Contractor per Section 6-4. No separate payment will be made for the Contractor's attendance at
the meeting. The notice to proceed will only be issued on or after the completion of the precon-
struction meeting.
6-1.2 Baseline Construction Schedule Submittal. The Contractor shall submit the Baseline
Construction Schedule per the submittal requirements of Section 2-5.3. The submittal of the Base-
line Construction Schedule shall include each item and element described in this section and shall
be provided on a physical (paper) copy and electronic media copy.
6-1.2.1 Bar Chart. As a part of the Baseline Construction Schedule the Contractor shall prepare
and submit to the Engineer a chart showing individual tasks and their durations arranged with the
tasks on the vertical axis and duration on the horizontal axis. The schedule shall include, but is
not limited to, submittal dates for working drawings and shop drawings, critical path milestones,
start and end dates for each bid item and traffic control phases, utility and traffic signal shutdowns,
supporting information, and the critical path to project completion, the bar chart shall use differing
texture patterns or distinctive line types to show the critical path.
The construction schedule shall display project specific information including the start and end
dates of start and end dates of Phase 1, 2, and 3 of the project, as defined in Section 6-2.1 Order
of Work, and the critical path of work activities through these phases.
6-1.2.2 Engineer's Review. The Construction Schedule is subject to the review of the Engineer.
The Engineer's determination that the Baseline Construction Schedule proposed by the Contrac-
tor complies with the requirements of these supplemental provisions shall be a condition prece-
dent to issuance of the Notice to Proceed by the Engineer. If the Engineer determines that the
Construction Schedule does not meet the requirements of these specifications the Contractor
shall correct the Construction Schedule to meet these specifications and resubmit it to the Engi-
neer. Failure of the Contractor to obtain the Engineer's determination that the initial Construction
Schedule proposed by the Contractor complies with the requirements of these supplemental pro-
visions within ten (10) working days after the date of the preconstruction meeting shall be grounds
for termination of the contract per Section 6-4. Days used by the Engineer to review the initial
Construction Schedule will not be included in the 30 working days.
The Engineer will review and return to the Contractor, with any comments, the Baseline Construc-
tion Schedule within ten (10) working days of submittal. The Baseline Construction Schedule will
be returned marked as per Sections 6-1.2.2.1 through 6-1.2.2.3.

6-1.2.2.1 "Accepted." The Contractor may proceed with the project work upon issuance of the
Notice to Proceed.
6-1.2.2.2 "Accepted with Comments." The Contractor may proceed with the project work upon
issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The Contractor must resubmit the schedule incorporating the
comments prior to submitting any additional submittals to the City.
6-1.2.2.3 "Not Accepted." The Contractor must resubmit the schedule incorporating the correc-
tions and changes. The Notice to Proceed will not be issued by the Engineer if the changes of the
comments are not submitted as required hereinbefore and marked "Accepted" or "Accepted with
Comments" by the Engineer. The Contractor, at the sole option of the Engineer, may be consid-
ered as having defaulted the contract under the provisions of Section 6-4 DEFAULT BY
CONTRACTOR if the changes of the comments are not submitted as required herein before and
marked "Accepted" by the Engineer.
6-1.2.3 Maintenance of Construction Schedule. The Contractor's schedule shall be updated on
a weekly basis and presented at progress meetings per Section 6-2.3. The updated schedule
shall display start/early finish dates for critical milestones, percent completed for each work item,
lag time, delays, and the number of working days exhausted at the time of progress meeting.
6-1.2.4 Measurement and Payment of Construction Schedule. The Contractor's preparation,
revision and maintenance of the Construction Schedule are incidental to the work and no separate
payment will be made therefore.
6-2 PROSECUTION OF WORK. To minimize public inconvenience and possible hazard
and to restore street and other work areas to their original condition and state of usefulness as
soon as practicable, the Contractor shall diligently prosecute the Work to completion. If the Engi-
neer determines that the Contractor is failing to prosecute the Work to the proper extent, the
Contractor shall, upon orders from the Engineer, immediately take steps to remedy the situation.
All costs of prosecuting the Work as described herein shall be included in the Contractor's Bid.
Should the Contractor fail to take the necessary steps to fully accomplish said purposes, after
orders of the Engineer, the Engineer may suspend the work in whole or part, until the Contractor
. takes said steps.
As soon as possible under the provisions of the Specifications, the Contractor shall backfill all
excavations and restore to usefulness all improvements existing prior to the start of the Work.
If Work is suspended through no fault of the Agency, all expenses and losses incurred by the
Contractor during such suspensions shall be borne by the Contractor. If the Contractor fails to
properly provide for public safety, traffic, and protection of the Work during periods of suspension,
the Agency may elect to do so, and deduct the cost thereof from monies due the Contractor. Such
actions will not relieve the Contractor from liability.
6-2.1 Order of Work. The work to be done shall consist of furnishing all labor, equipment and
materials, and performing all operations necessary to complete the Project Work as shown on the
Project Plans and as specified in the Specifications.
6-2.2 Project Meetings. The Engineer will establish the time and location of weekly Project

the intent of the Contract, the Agency may serve written notice upon the Contractor and the Surety
on its Faithful Performance Bond demanding satisfactory compliance with the Contract.
The Contract may be canceled by the Board without liability for damage, when in the Board's
opinion the Contractor is not complying in good faith, has become insolvent, or has assigned or
subcontracted any part of the Work without the Board's consent. In the event of such cancellation,
the Contractor will be paid the actual amount due based on Contract Unit Prices or lump sums

tractor and its Surety and may be deducted from any money due or becoming due from the
Agency. If the sums due under the Contract are insufficient for completion, the Contractor or
Surety shall pay to the Agency within 5 days after the completion, all costs in excess of the sums

the Engineer may deem an extension of time to be in the best interests of the Agency. The Con-
tractor will not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to such delays, except as pro-
vided in Section 6-6.3.
If delays beyond the Contractor's control are caused solely by action or inaction by the Agency,
such delays will entitle the Contractor to an extension of time as provided in Section 6-6.2.
6-6.2 Extensions of Time. Extensions of time, when granted, will be based upon the effect of
delays to the Work. They will not be granted for noncontrolling delays to minor portions of the
Work unless it can be shown that such delays did or will delay the progress of the Work.
6-6.3 Payment for Delays to Contractor. The Contractor will be compensated for damages
incurred due to delays for which the Agency is responsible. Such actual costs will be determined
by the Engineer. The Agency will not be liable for damages which the Contractor could have

6-8 COMPLETION, ACCEPTANCE, AND WARRANTY. The Work will be inspected by
the Engineer for acceptance upon receipt of the Contractor's written assertion that the Work has
been completed.
The Engineer will not accept the Work or any portion of the Work before all of the Work is com-
pleted and all outstanding deficiencies that may exist are corrected by the Contractor and the
Engineer is satisfied that all the materials and workmanship, and all other features of the Work,
meet the requirements of all of the specifications for the Work. Use, temporary, interim or perma-
nent, of all, or portions of, the Work does not constitute acceptance of the Work. If, in the Engi-
neer's judgment, the Work has been completed and is ready for acceptance the Engineer will so
certify to the Board. Upon such certification by the Engineer the Board may accept the completed
Work. Upon the Board's acceptance of the Work the Engineer will cause a "Notice of Completion"

sum is liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty, and may be deducted from
payments due the Contractor if such delay occurs. Execution of the Contract shall constitute
agreement by the Agency and Contractor that $2,000 per day is the minimum value of costs and
actual damages caused by the Contractor to complete the Work within the allotted time. Any pro-
gress payments made after the specified completion date shall not constitute a waiver of this
paragraph or of any damages.
With respect to the public right-of-way, failure of the Contractor to restore and open all travel lanes
within designated working hours shall result in damages being sustained by the Agency. For every
15 minutes increment (or portion of time thereof) beyond the hours of work stated in the contract
documents, the Contractor Shall pay to the Agency, or have monies due to it, the sum of five
hundred dollars ($500). Such sum is liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty,

right to take over and utilize all or part of any completed facility or appurtenance. The Contractor
will be notified in writing in advance of such action. Such action by the Agency will relieve the
Contractor of responsibility for injury or damage to said completed portions of the improvement
resulting from use by public traffic or from the action of the elements or from any other cause,
except Contractor operations or negligence. The Contractor will not be required to reclean such
portions of the improvement before field acceptance, except for cleanup made necessary by its

pleted facility or appurtenance, the Agency will assume the responsibility and liability for injury to
persons or property resulting from the utilization of the facility or appurtenance so placed into

The provisions in this section will not relieve the Contractor from its responsibility to provide such
additional devices or take such measures as may be necessary to maintain public safety.
When lanes are closed for only the duration of work periods, all components of the traffic control
system, except portable delineators placed along open trenches or excavation adjacent to the
traveled way, shall be removed from the traveled way and shoulder at the end work period. If the
Contractor so elects, said components may be stored at selected central locations, approved by
the Engineer, within the limits of the right-of-way.
7-10.3.4 Traffic Control for Permanent and Temporary Traffic Striping. During traffic stripe
operations, traffic shall be controlled with lane closures, as provided for under "Traffic Control
System for Lane Closure" of these Supplemental Provisions or by use of an alternative traffic
control plan proposed by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall not
start traffic striping operations using an alternative plan until the Contractor has submitted its plan
to the Engineer and has received the Engineer's written approval of said plan.
7-10.3.5 Temporary Pavement Delineation. Temporary pavement delineation shall be furnished,
placed, maintained and removed in accordance with the minimum standards specified in the Cal-
ifornia Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (FHWA MUTCD 2009 Revisions 1 and 2, as

of pavement delineation, temporary or permanent pavement delineation shall be in place prior to
opening the traveled way to public traffic. Lane line or centerline pavement delineation shall be
provided at all times for traveled ways open to public traffic. All work necessary, including any
required lines or marks, to establish the alignment of temporary pavement delineation shall be
performed by the Contractor. When temporary pavement delineation is removed, all lines and
marks used to establish the alignment of the temporary pavement delineation shall be removed
by grinding.
Surfaces to receive temporary pavement delineation shall be dry and free of dirt and loose mate-
rial. Temporary pavement delineation shall not be applied over existing pavement delineation or
other temporary pavement delineation. Temporary pavement delineation shall be maintained until
superseded or replaced with permanent pavement delineation.

traffic pattern for the area and is no longer required for the direction of public traffic. When tem-
porary pavement delineation is required to be removed, all lines and marks used to establish the
alignment of the temporary pavement delineation shall be removed.
7-10.3.6 Preparation of New, or Modifications and Additions to Existing, Traffic Control
Plan Sheets. The contractor shall submit a TCP for all work._The Contractor shall have such new
or modified TCP prepared and submitted as a part of the Work for any and all construction activ-
ities that are located within the traveled way. The Contractor shall have TCP prepared and sub-
mitted as a part of the Work for any construction activities that are a part of this project that are
not included in the project plans. The minimum 15-day review period specified in Section 2-5.3.1
for shop drawings and submittals shall pertain to each submittal of TCP, new, modified or added
to, for the Engineer's review. New or revised TCP submittals shall include all TCP needed for the
entire duration of the Work. Each phase of the TCP shall be shown in sufficient scale and detail
to show the lane widths, transition lengths, curve radii, stationing of features affecting the traffic
control plan and the methodology proposed to transition to the subsequent TCP phase. When the
vertical alignment of the traveled surface differs from the finished pavement elevation vertical
curves must also be shown.
Such modifications, supplements and/or new design of TCP shall meet the requirements of the
Engineer and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (FHWA MUTCD 2009 Revi-
sions 1 and 2, as amended for use in California) published by CALTRANS as published by
CALTRANS. Such modification, addition, supplement, and/or new design of TCP shall be pre-
pared by a registered professional engineer appropriately registered in the State of California.
The Engineer shall be the sole judge of the suitability and quality of any such modifications, sup-
plements, and/or new designs to TCP. The Engineer may approve any such modifications, sup-
plements, and/or new designs to the TCP when, in the Engineer's sole opinion, such modifica-
tions, supplements, and/or new designs to the TCP prepared by the registered professional engi-
neer retained by the Contractor will be beneficial to the best interests of the Agency. Such modi-
fication, addition, supplement, and/or new design shall not be implemented and no work shall be
commenced that is contingent on such approval until the changed TCP are approved by the En-
gineer. The preparation of such modification, addition, supplement, and/or new designs of TCP
shall not presuppose their approval or obligate the Agency in any fashion. Submittal and review
requirements for such modifications, supplements, and/or new designs to TCP shall conform to
the requirements of Section 2-5.3 Shop Drawings and Submittals.
7-10.3.7 Payment. Design of the traffic control plan, submittal of TCP, revisions to TCP, and
implementation of traffic control for this project shall be considered incidental to the work and no
extra payment shall be made for traffic control.

SECTION 9-MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
9-1 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES FOR UNIT PRICE WORK.
9-1.1 General. Unless otherwise specified, quantities of work shall be determined from meas-
urements or dimensions in horizontal planes. However, linear quantities of pipe, piling, fencing
and timber shall be considered as being the true length measured along longitudinal axis.
Unless otherwise provided in Specifications, volumetric quantities shall be the product of the
mean area of vertical or horizontal sections and the intervening horizontal or vertical dimension.
The planimeter shall be considered an instrument of precision adapted to measurement of all
areas.
9-1.2 Methods of Measurement. Materials and items of work which are to be paid for on basis
of measurement shall be measured in accordance with methods stipulated in the particular sec-
tions involved.
9-1.3 Certified Weights. When payment is to be made on the basis of weight, the weighing
shall be done on certified platform scales or, when approved by the Engineer, on a completely
automated weighing and recording system. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with dupli-
cate licensed weighmaster's certificates showing actual net weights. The Agency will accept the
certificates as evidence of weights delivered.
9-1.4 Units of Measurement. The system of measure for this contract shall be the U.S. Stand-
ard Measures.
9-2 LUMP SUM WORK. Items for which quantities are indicated "Lump Sum", "L.S.", or
"Job", shall be paid for at the price indicated in the Bid. Such payment shall be full compensation
for the items of work and all work appurtenant thereto.
When required by the Specifications or requested by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submit to
the Engineer within 15 days after award of Contract, a detailed schedule in triplicate, to be used
only as a basis for determining progress payments on a lump sum contract or designated lump
sum bid item. This schedule shall equal the lump sum bid and shall be in such form and sufficiently
detailed as to satisfy the Engineer that it correctly represents a reasonable apportionment of the
lump sum.
9-3 PAYMENT
9-3.1 General. The quantities listed in the Bid schedule will not govern final payment. Payment
to the Contractor will be made only for actual quantities of Contract items constructed in accord-
ance with the Plans and Specifications. Upon completion of construction, if the actual quantities
show either an increase or decrease from the quantities given in the Bid schedule, the Contract
Unit Prices will prevail subject to the provisions of Section 3-2.2.1.
The unit and lump sum prices to be paid shall be full compensation for the items of work and all
appurtenant work, including furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals.
Payment will not be made for materials wasted or disposed of in a manner not called for under

has been placed, and material placed outside of the Plan lines. No compensation will be allowed
for disposing of rejected or excess material.
Payment for work performed or materials furnished under an Assessment Act Contract will be
made as provided in particular proceedings or legislative act under which such contract was
awarded.
Whenever any portion of the Work is performed by the Agency at the Contractor's request, the
cost thereof shall be charged against the Contractor, and may be deducted from any amount due
or becoming due from the Agency.
Whenever immediate action is required to prevent injury, death, or property damage, and precau-
tions which are the Contractor's responsibility have not been taken and are not reasonably ex-
pected to be taken, the Agency may, after reasonable attempt to notify the Contractor, cause such
precautions to be taken and shall charge the cost thereof against the Contractor, or may deduct
such cost from any amount due or becoming due from the Agency. Agency action or inaction
under such circumstances shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor or its Surety from
liability.
Payment shall not relieve the Contractor from its obligations under the Contract; nor shall such
payment be construed to be acceptance of any of the Work. Payment shall not be construed as
the transfer of ownership of any equipment or materials to the Agency. Responsibility of owner-
ship shall remain with the Contractor who shall be obligated to store any fully or partially com-
pleted work or structure for which payment has been made; or replace any materials or equipment
required to be provided under the Contract which may be damaged, lost, stolen or otherwise
degraded in any way prior to acceptance of the Work, except as provided in Section 6-1 O Use of
Improvement During Construction.
Guarantee periods shall not be affected by any payment but shall commence on the date of re-
cordation of the "Notice of Completion."
If, within the time fixed by law, a properly executed notice to stop payment is filed with the Agency,
due to the Contractor's failure to pay for labor or materials used in the Work, all money due for
such labor or materials will be withheld from payment to the Contractor in accordance with appli-
cable laws.
At the expiration of 35 days from the date of acceptance of the Work by the Board, or as pre-
scribed by law, the amount deducted from the final estimate and retained by the Agency will be
paid to the Contractor except such amounts as are required by law to be withheld by properly
executed and filed notices to stop payment, or as may be authorized by the Contract to be further
retained.
9-3.2 Partial and Final Payment. The Engineer will, after award of Contract, establish a closure
date for the purpose of making monthly progress payments. The Contractor may request in writing
that such monthly closure date be changed. The Engineer may approve such request when it is
compatible with the Agency's payment procedure.
Each month, the Engineer will make an approximate measurement of the work performed to the
closure date as basis for making monthly progress payments. The estimated value will be based
on contract unit prices, completed change order work and as provided for in Section 9-2 Lump
Sum Work of these General Provisions. Progress payments shall be made no later than thirty (30)
{'\ •fi Revised 6/15/17 Contract No. 6329/6330 Page 108 of 144
Nov. 19, 2019 Item #10 Page 115 of 446
calendar days after the closure date. Five (5) working days following the closure date, the Engi-
neer shall complete the detailed progress pay estimate and submit it to the Contractor for the
Contractor's information. Should the Contractor assert that additional payment is due, the Con-
tractor shall within ten (10) days of receipt of the progress estimate, submit a supplemental pay-
ment request to the Engineer with adequate justification supporting the amount of supplemental
payment request. Upon receipt of the supplemental payment request, the Engineer shall, as soon
as practicable after receipt, determine whether the supplemental payment request is a proper
payment request. If the Engineer determines that the supplemental payment request is not proper,
then the request shall be returned to the Contractor as soon as practicable, but not later than
seven (7) days after receipt. The returned request shall be accompanied by a document setting
forth in writing the reasons why the supplemental payment request was not proper. In conform-
ance with Public Contract Code Section 20104.50, the City shall make payments within thirty (30)
days after receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted supplemental payment request from
the Contractor. If payment of the undisputed supplemental payment request is not made within
thirty (30) days after receipt by the Engineer, then the City shall pay interest to the Contractor
equivalent to the legal rate set forth in subdivision (a) of Section 685.010 of the Code of Civil
Procedure.
From each progress estimate, 10 percent will be deducted and retained by the Agency, and the
remainder less the amount of all previous payments will be paid. After 50 percent of the Work has
been completed and if progress on the Work is satisfactory, the deduction to be made from re-
maining progress estimates and from the final estimate may be limited to $500 or 1 0 percent of
the first half of total Contract amount, whichever is greater.
No progress payment made to the Contractor or its sureties will constitute a waiver of the liqui-
dated damages under Section 6-9 Liquidated Damages.
As provided in Section 22300 of the California Public Contract Code, the Contractor may substi-
tute securities for any monies withheld by the Agency to ensure performance under the Contract.
After final inspection, the Engineer will make a Final Payment Estimate and process a corre-
sponding payment. This estimate will be in writing and shall be for the total amount owed the
Contractor as determined by the Engineer and shall be itemized by the contract bid item and
change order item with quantities and payment amounts and shall show all deductions made or
to be made for prior payments and amounts to be deducted under provisions of the contract.
All prior estimates and progress payments shall be subject to correction in the Final Payment
Estimate.
The Contractor shall have 30 calendar days from receipt of the Final Payment Estimate to make
written statement disputing any bid item or change order item quantity or payment amount. The
Contractor shall provide all documentation at the time of submitting the statement supporting its
position. Should the Contractor fail to submit the statement and supporting documentation within
the time specified, the Contractor acknowledges that full and final payment has been made for all

that does not meet the requirements of this section both in application and circumstance of use.
Add the following section:
306-3. 7.1 Requirements for Use. Alternate construction methods that avoid the use of steel plate
bridging shall be used by the Contractor unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. It is recog-
nized that to accommodate excavation work, steel plate bridging may be necessary. All conditions
for use of steel plate bridging set forth in the following requirements must be fulfilled as conditions
of approval of the use of steel plate bridging. Consideration of steel plate bridging in the review
process will take into account the following factors:

When the computed value of the plate score exceeds 50, steel plate bridging shall not be used
unless, and at the sole discretion of the Engineer, the Engineer determines that no alternative
method of construction is possible in lieu of using steel plate bridging or that other overriding
considerations make the use of steel plate bridging acceptable. Alternatives considered to bridg-
ing shall include, but not be limited to, detouring traffic, construction detour routes, tunneling,
boring and other methods of trenchless construction. Unless specifically noted in the provisions
of the Engineer's approval, the use of steel plate bridging at each location so approved shall not
exceed four (4) consecutive working days in any given week.
Add the following section:
306-3.7.2 Additional Requirements. In all cases when the depth of the trench exceeds the width
of the steel plate bridging resting on each side of the pavement adjacent to the trench, safety
regulations require or the Engineer determines that shoring is necessary to protect the health or
safety of workers or the public the Contractor shall install shoring conforming to Section 7-10.4.1
of the Standard Specifications. The trench shoring shall be designed and installed to support the
steel plate bridging and traffic loads. All approvals for design, substitution of materials or methods
shall be submitted by the Contractor in accordance with all provisions of section 2-5.3 Shop Draw-

Add the following section:
306-3.7.3 Installation. When backfilling operations of an excavation in the traveled way, whether
transverse or longitudinal cannot be properly completed within a work day, steel plate bridging
with a non-skid surface and shoring may be required to preserve unobstructed traffic flow. In such
cases, the following conditions shall apply:
a) Steel plate bridging when the plate score exceeds 50 is not allowed except when, at
the sole discretion of the Engineer, it is approved as specified herein before.
b) Steel plates used for bridging must extend a minimum of 610 mm (2') beyond the edges
of the trench.
c) Steel plate bridging shall be installed to operate with minimum noise.
When the use of steel plate bridging and shoring is approved by the Engineer, the Contractor
shall install using either Method (1) or (2) depending on the design speed of the portion of street
where the steel plate bridging is proposed for use.
Method 1 [For speeds more than 70 Km/hr (45 MPH)]: The pavement shall be cold planed to a
depth equal to the thickness of the plate and to a width and length equal to the dimensions of the
plate. The cold milling shall produce a flat surface that the plate shall rest on with no horizontal or
vertical movement. Horizontal gaps between the unmilled pavement and the plate shall not ex-
ceed 25 mm (1") and shall be filled with elastomeric sealant material which may, at the contrac-
tor's option, be mixed with no more that 50%, by volume, of Type I aggregate conforming to the
requirements of tables 203-5.2(8) and 203-5.3(A).
Method 2 [For speeds 70 Km/hr (45 MPH) or less]: Approach plate(s) and ending plate (if longi-
tudinal placement) shall be attached to the roadway and shall be secured against displacement
by using two adjustable cleats that are no less than 50 mm (2") shorter than the width of the trench
bolted to the underside of each plate and located within 150 mm (6") of the beginning and end of
the trench for plates at the beginning and end of the trench, a minimum of two 300 mm long by
19 mm diameter (12" x ¾") steel bolts placed through the plate and driven into holes drilled 300
mm (12") into the pavement section, or other devices approved by the Engineer. Subsequent
plates shall be butted to each other. Fine graded asphalt concrete shall be compacted to form
ramps, maximum slope 8.5% with a minimum 300 mm (12") taper to cover all edges of the steel
plates. When steel plates are removed, the dowel holes in the pavement section shall be com-
pletely filled with elastomeric sealant material. At the Contractor's option, the methods required
for Method 1 may be used. If the Contractor so elects, all requirements of Method 1 shall be used.
The Contractor shall maintain the steel plates, shoring, and asphalt concrete ramps and maintain
and restore the street surface during and after their use.

low to allow free movement of the fibers. The material must be tough and abrasion resistant to
provide mechanical and environmental protection of the fibers, yet designed to permit safe inten-
tional "scoring" and breakout, without damaging or degrading the internal fibers.
Buffer tube must have a non-gel water-blocking material used to prevent water intrusion and mi-
gration. The filling compound must be non-toxic and dermatologically safe to exposed skin. It

the fibers when the cable jacket is placed under strain, such as the reverse oscillation stranding
process.
Central Member. -The central member which functions as an anti-buckling element must be a
glass reinforced plastic rod with similar expansion and contraction characteristics as the optical
fibers and buffer tubes. A linear overcoat of low density polyethylene must be applied to the cen-
tral member to achieve the optimum diameter to provide the proper spacing between buffer tubes
during stranding.
Filler Rods. -Filler rods may be included in the cable to lend symmetry to the cable cross-section
where needed. Filler rods must be solid medium or high, density polyethylene. The diameter of
filler rods must be the same as the outer diameter of the buffer tubes.
Stranding. -Completed buffer tubes must be stranded around the overcoated central member
using stranding methods, lay lengths and positioning such that the cable must meet mechanical,
environmental and performance specifications. A polyester binding must be applied over the
stranded buffer tubes to hold them in place. Binders must be applied using tension sufficient to
secure the buffer tubes to the central member without crushing the buffer tubes. The binders must
be non-hygroscopic, non-wicking (or rendered so by the flooding compound), and dielectric with
low shrinkage.
Core and Cable Flooding. -The cable core interstices must be filled with a polyolefin based com-
pound to prevent water ingress and migration. The flooding compound must be homogeneous,
non-hygroscopic, electrically non-conductive, and non-nutritive to fungus. The compound must
also be nontoxic, dermatologically safe and compatible with all other cable components.
Tensile Strength Member. -Tensile strength must be provided by high tensile strength aramid
yarns or fiberglass which must be helically stranded evenly around the cable core and must not
adhere to other cable components.
Ripcord. -The cable must contain at least one ripcord under the jacket for easy sheath removal.
Outer Jacket. -The jacket must be free of holes, splits, and blisters and must be medium or
high,.density polyethylene (PE), or medium density cross-linked polyethylene with minimum nom-
inal jacket thickness of 40.0 ± 3 mil1000 ± 76 µm. Jacketing material must be applied directly over
the tensile strength members and flooding compound and must not adhere to the aramid strength
material. The polyethylene must contain carbon black to provide ultraviolet light protection and
must not promote the growth of fungus.
