REFERENCES Prior to preparation of the following Subcontractor and Owner Operator/Lessor
disclosure forms Bidders are urged to review the definitions in section 1-2 of the SSPWC and of the
Supplemental Provisions to this Contract especially, “Bid”, “Bidder”, “Contract”, “Contractor”,
“Contract Price”, “Contract Unit Price”, “Engineer”, “Subcontractor” and “Work” and the definitions in
section l-2 of the Supplemental Provisions especially “Own Organization” and “Owner
Operator/Lessor.” Bidders are further urged to review sections 2-3 SUBCONTRACTS of the
SSPWC and section 2-3.1 of these Supplemental Provisions.
CAUTIONS These forms 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 performance
of more than 50 percent of the work by any single subcontractor(s) or owner operator/lessors 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 or Owner Operator/Lessor who the Bidder proposes to perform work or labor or
render service in or about the work or improvement, and every subcontractor or Owner
Operator/Lessor licensed as a contractor by the State of California who the Bidder proposes to
specially fabricate and install any portion of the work or improvement 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 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.
Bidder shall use separate disclosure forms for each Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor of
manpower and equipment that it proposes to use to complete the Work. Additional copies of the
forms must be attached if required to accommodate the Contractor’s decision to use more than one
Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor. All items of information must be completely filled out.
These forms 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.
Neither the amount, in dollars, of work performed by the Bidder’s own forces (as Contractor) nor the
Bidder’s overhead and profit for subcontracted items of the work is included to compute the
percentage of the work performed by Subcontractors or Owner Operators/Lessors.
When the Bidder proposes that any bid item will installed by a Subcontractor or Owner
Operator/Lessor the amount, in dollars, of the bid item installed by each Subcontractor or Owner
Operator/ Lessor must be entered under the columns “Amount of Subcontracted Bid Item Including
Subcontractor’s Overhead & Profit” or ” Amount of Owner Operator/Lessor Bid Item Including
Owner Operator/Lessor’s Overhead & Profit ” unless the dollar amount of all work performed by any
Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor is less than one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder’s
total bid or ten thousand dollars ($10,000) whichever is greater. If a Subcontractor or Owner
b 911 l/O0 @% Contract No. 33841 Page 19 of 76 Pages
- g Operator/Lessor installs or constructs any portion of a bid item the entire amount of the Contract
I-_ Unit Price, less the Bidder’s overhead and profit, shall be multiplied by the Quantity of the bid item
that the Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor installs to compute the amount of work so
installed.
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, the Subcontractor, or the Owner Operator/Lessor, as the case
may be, that the Bidder proposes as installer of said materials. The value of material incorporated in
any Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor 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 or
Owner Operator/Lessor installing said item.
The item number from the “CONTRACTOR’S PROPOSAL” (Bid Sheets) shall be entered in the “Bid
Item No.” column.
When a Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor has a Carlsbad business license the number must
be entered on the form. If the Subcontractor does not have a valid business license enter “NONE” in
the appropriate space.
Bidders shall make any additional copies of the disclosure forms as may be necessary to provide
the required information. The page number and total number of additional form pages shall be
entered in the location provided on each type of form so duplicated.
When the Bidder proposes using a subcontractor or owner operator/Lessor to construct or install up
to but no greater that 50 percent of the work under this contract, the Bidder shall attach an
explanation sheet to the designation of subcontractor or designation of Owner Operator/Lessor
forms as applicable. The explanation sheet shall be provided by the Contractor to clearly apprise the
Agency of the specific facts that show why the Bidder proposes to allow performance of up to but no
greater than fifty percent (50%) of the work by any single subcontractor.
Determination of the subcontract and Owner Operator/Lessor amounts for purposes of award of the
contract shall determined by the City Council in conformance with the provisions of the contract
documents and the Supplemental Provisions. The decision of the City Council shall be final.

seeding area.
Provide mixes specified on drawings.
Apply hydro-seed by approved hydro-mulch company.
Apply in the form of a slurry consisting of cellulose fiber, seed,
chemical additives, commercial fertilizer and water. When
hydraulically sprayed on soil, ensure that hydro-mulch forms a
blotter-like groundcover impregnated uniformly with seed and
fertilizer and allows absorption of moisture and rainfall to percolate
to the underlying soil.
5.
6.
7. Remove slurry not used within two hours from the site.
Prepare the slurry at the project site by first adding water to the
tank when the engine is at half throttle. When water level has
reached height of agitator shaft, provide full circulation, then add
seed, followed by fertilizer, then mulch. Only add the mulch to the
mixture after the seed and the tank is at least l/3 filled with water.
By the time the tank is 213 to J/1 full, all mulch should be in.
Commence spraying immediately when tank is full.
Spray with a uniform visible coat by using the green color of the
mulch as a guide. Apply the slurry in a sweeping motion, in an
arched stream so as to fall like rain allowing the wood ftbers to build
on each other until a good coat is achieved and the material is
spread at required rates.

3.6 COMPACTION
A. General: Begin compaction as soon as placed hot-mix paving will bear roller weight without excessive displacement. Compact hot-mix paving with hot, hand tampers or vibratory-plate
compactors in areas inaccessible to rollers. 1. Complete compaction before mix temperature cools to 185 deg F.
B.
C.
Prime Coat: Apply uniformly over surface of compacted-aggregate base at a rate of 0.15 to 0.50
gal./sq. yd.. Apply enough material to penetrate and seal, but not flood, surface. Allow prime coat to cure for 72 hours minimum.
1. If prime coat is not entirely absorbed within 24 hours after application, spread sand over
surface to blot excess asphalt. Use just enough sand to prevent pickup under traffic.
Remove loose sand by sweeping before pavement is placed and after volatiles have evaporated.
2. Protect primed substrate from damage until ready to receive paving.
HOT-MIX ASPHALT PLACING
Machine place hot-mix asphalt mix on prepared surface, spread uniformly, and strike off. Place
asphalt mix by hand to areas inaccessible to equipment in a manner that prevents segregation of mix. Place each course to required grade, cross section, and thickness, when compacted.
1. Place hot-mix asphalt surface course in single lift.
Place paving in consecutive strips not less than 10 feet wide, except where infill edge strips of a
lesser width are required. 1. After first strip has been placed and rolled, place succeeding strips and extend rolling to
overlap previous strips. Complete asphalt base course for a section before placing asphalt
surface course.
Promptly correct surface irregularities in paving course behind paver. Use suitable hand tools to
remove excess material forming high spots. Fill depressions with hot-mix asphalt to prevent
segregation of mix; use suitable hand tools to smooth surface.
JOINTS
Construct joints to ensure continuous bond between adjoining paving sections. Construct joints free of depressions with same texture and smoothness as other sections of hot-mix asphalt
course. 1. Clean contact surfaces and apply tack coat.
2. Offset longitudinal joints in successive courses a minimum of 6 inches.
3. Offset transverse joints in successive courses a minimum of 24 inches.
4. Construct transverse joints by bulkhead method or sawed vertical face method as
described in Al’s “The Asphalt Handbook.”
5.
6.
Compact joints as soon as hot-mix asphalt will bear roller weight without excessive
displacement.
Compact asphalt at joints to a density within 2 percent of specified course density.
Breakdown Rolling: Accomplish breakdown or initial rolling immediately after rolling joints and outside edge. Examine surface immediately after breakdown rolling for indicated crown, grade,
and smoothness. Repair surfaces by loosening displaced material, filling with hot-mix asphalt, and rerolling to required elevations.
Intermediate Rolling: Begin intermediate rolling immediately after breakdown rolling, while hot- mix asphalt is still hot enough to achieve specified density. Continue rolling until hot-mix asphalt
course has been uniformly compacted to the following density:

Thickness: Compact each course to produce the thickness indicated within the following tolerances:
1. Base Course: Plus or minus l/2 inch.
2. Surface Course: Plus l/8 inch, no minus.
Surface Smoothness: Compact each course to produce a surface smoothness within the following tolerances as determined by using a lo-foot straightedge applied transversely or
longitudinally to paved areas:
1. Base Course: l/4 inch.
2. Surface Course: i/8 inch.
3. Crowned Surfaces: Test with crowned template centered and at right angle to crown.
Maximum allowable variance from template is l/4 inch.
PAVEMENT MARKING
Do not apply pavement-marking paint until layout, colors, and placement have been verified with District.
Allow paving to cure for 30 days before starting pavement marking.
Sweep and clean surface to eliminate loose material and dust.

EXAMINATION
Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with
requirements for paint application. Comply with procedures specified in PDCA P4.
1. Proceed with paint application only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected and surfaces receiving paint are thoroughly dry.
2. Start of painting will be construed as Applicators acceptance of surfaces and conditions
within a particular area.
Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure
compatibility of the total system for various substrates. On request, furnish information on
characteristics of finish materials to ensure use of compatible primers.
1. Notify Architect about anticipated problems when using the materials specified over
substrates primed by others.
PREPARATION
General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting
fixtures, and similar items already installed that are not to be painted. If removal is impractical
or impossible because of size or weight of the item, provide surface-applied protection before
surface preparation and painting. 1. After completing painting operations in each space or area, reinstall items removed using
workers skilled in the trades involved.
Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean substrates of substances
that could impair bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease before cleaning. 1. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

3.3
A.
Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturets
written instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified. 1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime.
2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete unit masonry, cement plaster, and
mineral-fiber-reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence,
chalk, dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze.
If hardeners or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of
surface preparation.
a. Use abrasive blastcleaning methods if recommended by paint manufacturer.
b. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate
tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and
bum, correct this condition before application. Do not paint surfaces if moisture
content exceeds that permitted in manufacturers written instructions.
3. Ferrous Metals: Clean ungalvanized ferrous-metal surfaces that have not been shop
coated; remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and other foreign substances. Use solvent or mechanical cleaning methods that comply with SSPC’s recommendations.
a. Sand metal clean. b. Treat bare and sandblasted or pickled clean metal with a metal treatment wash
coat before priming.
C. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged.
Wire-brush, clean with solvents recommended by paint manufacturer, and touch up with same primer as the shop coat.
4. Galvanized Surfaces: Clean galvanized surfaces with nonpetroleum-based solvents so surface is free of oil and surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized
sheet metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods.
Material Preparation: Mix and prepare paint materials according to manufacturefs wriien
instructions. 1. Maintain containers used in mixing and applying paint in a clean condition, free of foreign materials and residue.
2. Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform density. Stir as required
during application. Do not stir surface film into material. If necessary, remove surface film and strain material before using.
3. Use only thinners approved by paint manufacturer and only within recommended limits.
Tinting: Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to simplify identification of each coat when multiple
coats of same material are applied. Tint undercoats to match the color of the finish coat, but
provide sufficient differences in shade of undercoats to distinguish each separate coat.
APPLICATION
General: Apply paint according to manufacturer’s written instructions. Use applicators and
techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.
1. Paint colors, surface treatments, and finishes are indicated in the paint schedules.
2. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions
detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.
3. Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.
4. The term “exposed surfaces” includes areas visible when permanent or built-in fixtures,
grilles, convector covers, covers for finned-tube radiation, and similar components are in
place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain system integrity and provide desired protection.
5. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed
surfaces. Before final installation of equipment, paint surfaces behind permanently fixed
equipment or furniture with prime coat only. 6. Paint interior surfaces of ducts with a flat, nonspecular black paint where visible through registers or grilles.

8. 9.
Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged wvers to match exposed
surfaces.
Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms, and side edges the same as exterior faces. Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.
B. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated, or
otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent
surface deterioration. 1. The number of coats and film thickness required are the same regardless of application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until previous coat has cured as recommended
by manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce-a smooth, even surface according to
manufacturer’s written instructions, sand between applications.
2. Omit primer over metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup painted.
3. If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply additional
coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give special attention to ensure that edges, comers, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film
thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
4. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat
surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, and does not deform or feel sticky
under moderate thumb pressure, and until application of another coat of paint does not
cause undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.
C. Application Procedures: Apply paints-and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators
according to manufacturer’s written instructions. 1. Brushes: Use brushes best suited for type of material applied. Use brush of appropriate
size for surface or item being painted.
2. Rollers: Use rollers of carpet, velvet-back, or high-pile sheep’s wool as recommended by
manufacturer for material and texture required. 3. Spray Equipment: Use airless spray equipment with orifice size as recommended by
manufacturer for material and texture required.
.

All wiring shall be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code. All wiring shall
be installed in conduit except where other raceway systems or methods are specifically
shown on the drawings or required by the specifications.
600 VOLT WlRE AND CABLE
Thoroughly clean out all conduit and wireways and see that all parts are perfectly dry before
pulling any wires. A mechanical wire puller may be used where directed, in which case a
lubricant shall be used. Any wire damaged as a result of installation under this section shall
be pulled out and replaced with new at no additional cost to the Owner.
Make all connections and splices necessary to properly complete the electrical wiring.
Connections and splices shall be made only in pull, junction or outlet boxes or in switch-
boards, wireways or panels having sufficient code-sized gutter space.
Connections to equipment or bus bars shall be made with approved solderless compression
type copper lugs for all wires No. 8 AWG and larger. Special lugs or connections shall be
as shown on the plans. Binding screws may be used for size No. 10 and smaller. Where
stranded wire is connected to binding screws, nylon, self-insulated, ring tongue, pressure
type terminals (type T&B Sta-Kon) shall be used on the wire. Soldering will not be an
acceptable method of connecting any power conductors. Clipping of wires from standard
cable to fit connectors and terminal lugs shall not be permitted.
All conductors shall be continuous from outlet to outlet and no splices shall be made except
within outlet or junction boxes. Junction boxes may be utilized where required. At least
eight (8) inches of wire shall be left at outlet boxes for connecting fixtures and devices.
No wire smaller than No. 12-gauge shall be used, except for signal or control systems or
where otherwise indicated. No. IO-gauge wire shall be used for I5 or 20 ampere 120 volt
branch circuits in excess of 100 feet in length. This is intended to reduce branch circuit
voltage drop and takes precedence over #12 branch circuitry indicated in drawings. Record
drawings shall indicate installed wire size.
Parallel Feeders
I. Each phase wire and neutral wire of each parallel run shall be the same length.
Wires entering switchboards, panelboards, transformers and disconnects shall be of
sufficient length for proper termination without splicing within the equipment enclosure. Any
wires installed that require splicing for terminating shall be removed and replaced with ones
of the proper length. Wires shall be trained and supported in neat bundles.
Wiring Bundles or Harnesses:
I. Multiple wires in bundles or harnesses terminating in control panels, switchboards,
panelboards, etc., shall be bundled, trained and laced to achieve a neat and
. workmanlike appearance.
2. Surplus wire protruding from the harness for termination shall be trimmed to the proper
length. Do not fold and stuff surplus wires into wiring gutters.

to provide identification for future use.
J. The maximum number of “hot” (phase conductors) wires for feeder or branch circuit wiring
in one (I) conduit shall not exceed three (3) unless othewise noted.
K. Cable Terminating: Terminations of insulated power and lighting cables shall be protected
from accidental contact, deterioration of coverings and moisture by the use of terminating
devices and materials. Terminations shall be made using materials and methods as
indicated or specified herein or as designated by the written instruction of the cable
manufacturer and termination kit manufacturer.
3.3 UNDERGROUND WIRE AND CABLE INSTALLATION
A. Cable Pulling: Cables shall be pulled down grade with the feed-in point at the manhole or
buildings of the highest elevation. Flexible cable feeds shall be used to convey cables
through the manhole opening and into the duct runs. Remove unused existing cables
which constitute interference with the work. Abandon in place those disused ducts and
cables which do not interfere with the work.
1. Maximum tension when pulling cables using a pulling eye, shall be O.OO£s
per circular mil of conductor cross-section. The maximum pull on a single conductor
shall be 5,000 pounds and on three (3) conductors pulled as a group shall be 6,000
pounds. Under no circumstances shall the pulling tension exceed the
manufacturers limits. A tension synometer shall be used for pulling in all runs
above 600 volts of I/O and larger cable and runs longer than 200 feet. Basket
weave type pulling devices shall not be used on medium voltage cables having tape
shields. Use cable eyes provided with precut lengths of cable.
B. Installation of Cables in Manholes, Vaults, Utility Boxes and Trenches: Cables shall not be
installed utilizing the shortest route, but shall be routed along those walls providing the
longest route and the maximum spare cable lengths. All cables shall be formed to closely
parallel walls, not to interfere with duct entrances and shall be supported on brackets and
cable insulators at a maximum of four (4) feet. In existing manholes, vaults, pullboxes and
trenches where new ducts are to be terminated or where new cables are to be installed, the
existing installation of cables, cable supports and grounding shall be modified as required
for a neat and workmanlike installation with all cables properly arranged and supported.
1. All cables which are cut shall be clear capped. Cables shall have the ends sealed
with a heat shrinkable watertight cap prior to pulling to avoid penetration by water.
Cable ends shall be left sealed until the splices are to be made.
2. Shields shall be provided where cables enter and leave manholes, vaults, pullboxes,
trenches and other duct entrances and shall be of a suitable type manufactured for
the purpose.
