The Bidder shall set forth in the Bid, as provided in 4104:
"(a) The name and location of the place of business of each subcontractor who will
perform work or labor or render service to the prime contractor in or about the
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),
whichever 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."
l'\ •+" Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 52 of 143
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

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 10 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
proceedings under this section, the prime contractor shall be entitled to a public hearing before

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
interests of the Agency, may be granted by the Engineer. Nothing herein shall be construed as
granting 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
Contractor 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
involved, 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
conformance with the Plans and Specifications varies from the Bid quantity by 50 percent or less,
payment will be made at the Contract Unit Price. If the actual quantity of said item of work varies
{"\ •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 65 of 143
from the Bid quantity by more than 50 percent, payment wm 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
covered 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 percent 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.
3-2.2.3 Decreases of More Than 50 Percent. Should the actual quantity of an item of work
covered 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 iess 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
Contractor. 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 can not 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
specified 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
notification in writing from the Engineer so stating its elimination. If material conforming to the
Plans and Specifications is ordered by the Contractor for use in the eliminated item prior to the
date of notification of elimination by the Engineer, and if the order for that material can not 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
l'\ •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 66 of 143
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.
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
compensation 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
equipment 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
Section 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"
published 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
l' •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 67 of 143
incidentals. 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
Contractor 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
recommended by the manufacturer.
The reported rental time for equipment akeady 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
Contractor 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
Subcontractor, 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 subcontracted 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
documents to the Engineer. Failure to submit the daily report by the close of the next work~ng 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
l' •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 68 of 143
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.
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
following Work site conditions (hereinafter called changed conditions), in writing, upon their
discovery 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
performed; 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
performance 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
happening 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
{"\ •fi' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 69 of 143
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 al~ claims in connection therewith.
The Contractor shall provide the City with a written document containing a description of the
particular circumstances giving rise to the potential claim, the reasons for which the Contractor
believes 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 potentia~ 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.
"The undersigned certifies that the above statements are made in full cognizance of the California
False Claims Act, Government Code Sections 12650-12655. The undersigned further
understands and agrees that this potential claim, unless resolved, must be restated as a Glaim in
response to the City's proposed final estimate in order for it to be further considered."
By: __________________________ ___ Title:--------------
Date: ______________________ _
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
subsequently 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
l' •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 70 of 143
documentation supporting the costs and all other evidentiary materials. At each level of claim or
appeal of claim the City will, within 10 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
request 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.
The authority within the dispute resolution chain of command is limited to recommending a
resolution to a claim to the City Manager. Actual approval of the claim is subject to the change
order provisions in the contract.

acceptable 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 inspection 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 ali 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
regulations as may apply. Contractor shall furnish Engineer with such information as may be
necessary 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 tlhe 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
purchase materials, fabricated products, or equipment from sources located more than 50 miles
outside 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 equipment. 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.

of materials, as the Engineer may require, at no cost to the Agency. The Contractor, at its
expense, shall deliver the materials for testing to the place and at the time designated by the
Engineer. 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.
{"\ •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 74 of 143
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
requirements 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
improper 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.
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
necessary by noncompliance with the specifications shall be borne by the Contractor.
4-1.5 Certification. The Engineer may waive materials testing requirements of the
Specifications 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
material, 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
durability, finish, efficiency, dimensions, service, and suitability are such that the item will fulfill its
intended 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 .,
\.+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 75 of 143
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,
appearance, 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
proportioning 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.
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
Regulations pertaining to weighing devices. A certificate of compliance shall be presented, prior
to operation, 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
operating 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
pressure 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. Calibration 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 Modified 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 defined 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 investigation 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 information in an attempt to determine the validity, the cause, and if necessary, the
{"\ •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 76 of 143
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 cooperative investigation concluded. Whenever the cooperative investigation is unable to
reach resolution, the investigation may then either conclude without resolution or continue by
written notification of one party to the other requesting the implementation of a resolution process
by committee. 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
acknowledgement, 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 Contractor 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 cooperative 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 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 the 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
investigation 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 pertaining 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 consignee, the project name and number, address of delivery and name of
consignor and a description of the material(s) shipped. Pr~or 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 IE~ase, 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 Hmits 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
records, 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
utilities indicated on the Plans is not guaranteed.
Where underground main distribution conduits such as water, gas, sewer, electric power,
telephone, or cable television are shown on the Plans, the Contractor shall assume that every
property 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
(Underground 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

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.
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
protection 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
procedures required to maintain or restore the integrity of the system.
5-3 REMOVAL. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall remove all interfering
portions 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 affected
by the Work will complete their necessary installations, relocations, repairs, or replacements
before commencement of work by the Contractor. When the Plans or Specifications indicate 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 as provided in the Standard Specifications
for Public Works Construction, Section 301-1.6, 2009 Edition, and supplements. 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
l' •+' Revised 1/30/13 Contract No. 6608 Page 79 of 143
property 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 interfering 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
compensation will be allowed therefore or for additional work, materials or delay associated with
the temporary omission. The portion thus omitted shall be constructed by the Contractor
immediately following 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
available for protect~on, 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
Section 5-1.
The Contractor may be given an extension of time for unforeseen delays attributable to
unreasonably 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
identified 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
alterations 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 th~:! 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.

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 Engineer 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 V\/ork.
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 ~he Contractor. Such
actions will not relieve the Contractor from liability.
6-2.1 Order of Work. Tlhe work on Highland must occur between September 15 and
February 1 to avoid nesti111g bird season.
6-2.3 Project Meetings. The Engineer will establish the time and location of weekly Project

the Work schedule which will insure the Agency's interest, or, if the Contractor is not carrying out
{"\ •+f Revised 1/30/1~1 Contract No. 6608 Page 82 of 143
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
bid and the quantity of the Work completed at the time of cancellation, less damages caused to
the Agency by acts of the Contractor. The Contractor, in having tendered a Bid, shall be deemed
to have waived any and all claims for damages because of cancellation of Contract for any such
reason. If the Agency declares the Contract canceled for any of the above reasons, written notice
to that effect shall be served upon the Surety. The Surety shall, within five (5) days, assume
control and perform the Work as successor to the Cont~actor.
If the Surety assumes any part of the Work, it shall take the Contractor's place in all respects for
that part, and shall be paid by the Agency for all work performed by it in accordance with the
Contract. If the Surety assumes the entire Contract, all money due the Contractor at the time of
its default shall be payable to the Surety as the Work progresses, subject to the terms of the
Contract.
If the Surety does not assume control and perform the Work within 5 days after receiving notice
of cancellation, or fails to continue to comply, the Agency may exclude the Surety from the
premises. The Agency may then take possession of all material and equipment and complete the
Work by Agency forces, by letting the unfinished Work to another Contractor, or by a combination
of such methods. In any event, the cost of completing the Work shall be charged against the
Contractor 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
due.
The provisions of this section shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the
Agency under law.
6-5 TERMINATION OF CONTRACT. The Board may terminate the Contract at its own
discretion or when conditions encountered during the Work make it impossible or impracticable
to proceed, or when the Agency is prevented from proceeding with the Contract by act of God, by
law, or by official action of a public authority.
6-6 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME.
6-6.1 General. If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of the
Contractor, such delays will entitle the Contractor to an extension of time as provided herein,
but the Contractor will not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to such delays,
except as provided in 6-6.3. Such unforeseen events may include: war, government regulations,
labor disputes, strikes, fires, floods, adverse weather or elements necessitating cessation of work,
inability to obtain materials, labor or equipment, required extra work, or other specific events as

300-13 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
300-13.1 General
BMP Requirements for the City of Carlsbad
Contractors working at active construction sites in Carlsbad are required to comply with all
applicable storm water regulations and implement BMPs in accordance with CASQA guidelines.
Each operator must implement effective BMPs to reduce discharges of pollutants from
construction sites. These BMPs must be site specific, seasonally and construction phase
appropriate, and implemented at each com~truction site year round. It is the City's goal to obtain
your voluntary compliance with the following applicable BMP requirements.
• Appropriate erosion and sediment control BMPs must be installed and established for all
completed slopes prior to October 1, 2015. If a BMP fails, it must be repaired/replaced and
improved with an acceptable alternate.
• The contractor/developer must provide the name and phone number of the QSP or ~erosion
control professional responsible for BMP compliance. The QSP or erosion control professional
must conduct a BMP compliance inspection prior to a forecasted event of 50% or greatE~r. after
a rain event, and weekly between October 1 and May 1 of each year.
• A minimum of 125% of the material needed to install emergency BMPS must be stored onsite.
BMPs must be stockpiled at various locations throughout the site for the duration of project.
Whenever there is a 40% chance or greater of a rain within a five (5) day forecast, a City
inspector will conduct a pre-event inspection to verify that BMPs are stockpiled and the site
adequately protected. BMPs must be ready for deployment when there is 50% chance of a rain
within a 72 hour forecast. Failure to comply could result in the issuance of a Stop Work Notice
or other enforcement action.
• The City reserves the right to temporarily stop work on any private construction site that may
have the potential to contribute to storm water pollution during a forecasted rain event due to
lack of BMPs, proximity to an environmentally sensitive area, previous compliance issues,
l' • ., Revised 8/1 0/10 Contract No. 6608 Page 118 of 143
amount and duration of rain expected, and/or any storm water compliance issue. Each site will
be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine if a temporary stop work is necessary.
• All construction workers must be trained on the importance of storm water pollution
prevention and BMP maintenance prior to October 1 of each year. Training records must be
retained with the SWPPP and available upon request.
• All erosion and sediment control measures must be installed prior to grading and maintained
throughout the duration of the project.
• All inactive areas must be protected with the appropriate erosion BMPs as described in the
SWPPP. This includes all building pads, unfinished roads, and slopes. The ability to install
BMPs in a prompt manner is NOT sufficient; BMPs must be installed for these areas.
• Deployment of the appropriate erosion control BMPs will commence as soon as slopes or
disturbed areas are completed or if left inactive for 10 or more days.
• All active areas must be adequately protected with a combination of the appropriate erosion
and sediment control BMPs prior to a rain event predicted at 40% or greater.
• When a Rain Event Action Plan is required, it must be prepared in accordance with the
Construction General Permit. A copy of each updated REAP shall be placed in the project
SWPPP and be available for review upon request.
• All treatment control BMPs must be inspected weekly and prior to a forecasted rain event of
50% or greater. In addition, treatment control BMPs must be inspected and/or serviced prior to
October 1 of each year. Verification of these inspections will be provided to the City upon
request.
• An updated SWPPP map is required to be maintained for all projects. The SWPPP map must
show BMP installations, locations, and status updates.
Additional Controls Required for Project Sites Located Within the High Priority Focus Area
The High Priority Focus Area is located south of Buena Vista Lagoon, north of Agua Hedionda
Lagoon, and west of Interstate 5. There is also a small designated area located west of El Camino
Real and south of Highway 78. For project sites located within the High Priority Focus Area, the
following additional controls are required to be implemented at all times to the maximum extent
possible:
• Maintain vegetative cover, as much as possible, by developing the project in a phased approach
to reduce the amount of exposed soil at any one time.
• Limit the areas of active construction to five acres at any one time.
• Provide 100 percent soil cover for areas of inactive construction throughout the duration of the
project.
• Provide perimeter control at all appropriate locations along and at all storm drain inlets.
Perimeter protection will be upgraded and must provide sufficient protection from run off during
rain events.
• Provide vegetated buffer strips between the active construction area and any water bodies.
• Provide stabilized construction entrances that limit vehicle and foot traffic.
The City will continue to conduct scheduled and unscheduled inspections to verify compliance
with storm water regulations. Please keep in mind that compliance is dependent on the continued
use of BMPs and the consistent implementation of an employee-training program. Failure to
comply with the minimum BMPs may result in escalated enforcement actions which
include, but not limited to, Stop Work Notice, Notice of Violation, Default of Erosion Control
('\ •fi' Revised 8110/1 0 Contract No. 6608 Page 119 of 143

SECTION '15041-3
f. Water trucks, pumping equipment, piping, appurtenances and all other equipment in
contact with potable water shall be disinfected prior to use.
g. Sodium hypochlorite solution may also be used to increase the total chlorine residual
if the concentration from the initial chlorination of the system is found to be low. The
solution shall be added to the system in sufficient amounts at appropriate locations to
ensure that the disinfecting solution is present at a concentration within the specified
range throughout the piping system.
C. Procedure for Disinfecting Water Mains and Appurtenances
1. The pipeline shall be filled at a rate not to exceed 1,135 liters per minute (300 GPM) or a
velocity of 0.3m per second (1 foot per second), whichever is less.
2. Disinfection shall result in a total chlorine concentration of not less than 25-mg/1.
This concentration shall be evenly distributed throughout the system to be disinfected,
using a continuous feed method of chlorination.
3. All valves shall be operated with the disinfection solution present in the pipeline. All
appurtenances such as air-vacuum relief valves, blowoffs, hydrants, backflow prevention
devices, and water service laterals shall be flushed with the treated water a sufficient
length of time to ensure a chlorine concentration within the specified range in all
components of each appurtenance. (Note the limitations for discharge of chlorinated
water outlined below.)
4. The Engineer will verify the presence of the disinfection solution throughout the system
by sampling and testing for acceptable chlorine concentrations at the various
appurtenances and/or at the test ports provided by the Contractor. Areas of the system
found to be below the specified chlorine concentration level shall receive additional
flushing as noted above and/or additional disinfection solution as necessary. (Note the
limitations for discharge of chlorinated water outlined below.) Addition of disinfection
solution after the initial charging of the line shall be made by either the liquid chlorine
(gas) method, or the sodium hypochlorite method as directed by the Engineer.
5. The chlorinated water shall be retained in the system for a minimum of 24 hours. The
City Engineer will test the total chlorine residual. The system shall contain a total
chlorine residual of not less than 80% of the initial total chlorine residual before the 24-
hour soaking period began. If the total chlorine residual has decreased more than 20%,
the system shall be soaked for an additional 24-hour period. If the total chlorine residual
has not deceased after this additional 24-hour period, the system shall be flushed in
accordance with the procedure detailed herein. If the total chlorine residual has
decreased, the system shall be flushed in accordance with the procedure detailed
herein, and shall be re-disinfected.
6. Following a successful retention period as determined by the City Engineer, the
chlorinated water shall be flushed from the system at its extremities and at each
appurtenance, using potable water from a source designated by the City Engineer. The
minimum water velocity during flushing shall be 0.9 meters per second (3 feet per
second) or as directed by the Engineer. Flushing shall continue until the replacement
water in the new system is equal in chlorine residual to the potable source of supply as

below.)
7. The Contractor shall contract with a State certified sampling laboratory to perform
sampling, transport samples and perform bacteriological sampling and testing as
specified herein.
D. Discharge of Chlorinated Water
1. Indiscriminate onsite disposal or discharge to sewer systems, storm drains, drainage
courses or surface waters of chlorinated water is prohibited.
2. In locations where chlorine neutralization is required, the reducing agent shall be applied
to the water as it exits the piping system. The Developer shall monitor the chlorine
residual during the discharge operations. Total residual chlorine limits in these locations,
and for the discharge of chlorinated water from the testing of pipelines to surface waters
of the sa·n Diego Region are as follows:
Total Residual Chlorine Effluent Limitations
30-Day Average 0.002 mg/1
Average Daily Maximum 0.008 mg/1
Maximum 0.02 mg/1
3. The various methods of dechlorination available can remove residual chlorine to
concentrations below standard analytical methods of detection, 0.02 mg/1, which will
assure compliance with the effluent limit. The Developer will perform all necessary tests,
keeping and providing records to the Engineer to ensure that the total residual chlorine
effluent limitations listed above are met.
4. In locations where no hazard to the environment is evident based on the joint
examination described above, the chlorinated water may be broadcast for dust control
on the surface of the immediate site. Care shall be exercised in broadcasting the water
to prevent runoff.
E. Bacteriological Testing
The Contractor shall employ a State certified laboratory to perform bacteriological sampling and
testing of all new system installations. The testing methodology employed by the City shall be

blank activity description boxes provided for that purpose and place a check in the box immediately to the left of the added activity description. For each activity descrribed, pick one or more best
management practices (BMPs) from the list located along the top of the form. Then place an X in the box at the place where the activity row intersects with the BMP column. Do this for each activity that was
checked off and for each of the selected BMPs selected from the list. For Example -If the project includes site access across dirt, then check the box to the left of "Site Access Across Dirt". Then review
the list for something that applies such as "Stabilized Construction Ingress/Egress" under Tracking Control. Follow along the "Site Access Across Dirt" row until you get to the "Stabilized Construction
Ingress/Egress" column and place an X in the box where the two meet. As another example say the project included a stockpile that you intend to cover with a plastic sheet. Since plastic sheeting is not on
the list of BMPs, then write in "Cover with Plastic" in the blank column under the heading Erosion Control BMPs. Then place an X in the box where the "Stockpiling" row intersects the new "Cover with
Plastic" column.
To learn more about what each BMP description means, you may wish to review the BMP Reference Handout prepared to assist applicants in the selection of appropriate Best Management Practice
measures. The reference also explains the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) designation and how to apply the various selected BMPs to a project.

Pothole Report
Contract No. 6608
DESCRIPTION OF POTHOLE PROCEDURES
AIRX Utility Surveyors performs a full range of specialized engineering services including Underground
Utility Location and Vacuum Excavation (to verity depth and alignment of underground utilities).
Underground Utility Location employs sophisticated electronic locating devices to trace the route of an
underground utility; then the route is marked on the surface with marking paint in paved areas, or with
60 penny nails and feathers in unpaved areas.
Vacuum excavation employs a vacuum truck in conjunction with high-pressure air or water to excavate
material and expose an underground utility. A 10 to 12 inch diameter hole is first cored or chiseled
through the pavement so that the vacuum hose and high pressure air or water hose can be inserted.
Utilities found during potholing are located on the surface by placing two reference points (typically 36
inches apart) on either side ofthe pothole along the centerline (or edge) ofthe utility, using paving nails
or 60 penny nails as appropriate. Depth measurements (to the nearest Y2 inch) are taken midway between
the two reference points. UtiHty alignment, depth, and other data is marked with pink paint (on
pavement), or on wood lath (unpaved areas).
SITE SPECIFIC DETAILS
Air X was contracted by Sherri Howard from City Of Carlsbad-Public Works Department of Carlsbad,
California to perform utility locating and potholing services at Madison Street in the City of Carlsbad. A
total of 17 potholes were excavated to establish conflicts and connection points on a variety of utilities.
The results of the data are contained in the attached spreadsheet and data sheets. In preparation of these
excavations, AirX marked out the dig locations and called in for USA (Underground Service Alert). All
traffic control plans and permits were drawn and applied for by AirX and the traffic control was set up
by AirX.
All of the excavations and discovery went without any major incident except for potholes 4, 5 and 12
which were canceled. Any changes and adjustments are mentioned in the Pothole Tabulation
spreadsheet and Record of Test Hole Data sheets. All the results were annotated on the ground and in
this report. It is AirX's recommendation that pothole locations and the active mark out should be
surveyed to aid in the adjustment of utilities on a final plan and profile.
At each pothole location, the utility alignment was marked with pink paint, as well as paving nails. Air X
used potable water acquired offsite for excavation and all water and material vacuumed was disposed of
offsite. No water was allowed to flow into storm drains or natural drainages. The potholes were filled
with clean backfill material and compacted to 95% density in 3 inch lifts. The pavement was patched
with an equal thickness of replacement asphalt. All field work was performed between August 1oth and
August 1ih 2013.

Function -The SCBFD has no moving internal components and functions
based on gravity flow, unless otherwise specified. The SCBFD is composed
of a Shelf System and a Filter Basket. Runoff enters the SCBFD from a curb
opening and flows into the Shelf Syst!3m which is mounted under the face of
the curb opening. It then flows horizontally inside the Shelf Systems Trough
to the Weir which holds the Filtration Basket This Shelf System positions the
Filtration Basket directly under the catch basin access point (manhole cover,
grate or hatch). The Filtration Basket can be removed through the access
point without disassembly. The Filtration Basket can also be cleaned without
entering the access point by using a vacuum truck. Along the top perimeter of
the Filter Basket is a tray containing a Media Filtration Boom. Water flows
through and over the filtration boom and downward into the filtration basket
Stormwater enters the inside of the filtration basket and flows downward
toward the bottom portion of the basket Stormwater flow up to the peak
treatment flow rate is processed through the filtration screens. These screens
provide capture of TSS, sediment, particulate metals, hydrocarbons, nutrients,
organics trash and debris. During the heaviest flows the basket fills with water
and spills over the top to bypass directly into the bottom of the catch basin,
while previously captured debris and solids are contained by a upper screen
guard which prevents re-suspension.
Pollutants -The SCBFD will remove and retain debris, sediments, metals,
nutrients, oxygen demanding substances, bacteria and hydrocarbons entering
the filter during frequent storm events and specified flow rates. For pollutant
removal performance see section 03.02.00.
