Approval of Plans and Specifications and Authorization to Advertise for
Bids for the 2021 Slurry Seal and Fog Seal Project
All
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the plans and specifications and authorizing the City Clerk to
advertise for bids for the 2021 Slurry Seal and Fog Seal, Capital Improvement Program Project
No. 6001-21SS.
Executive Summary
This project is part of the city’s ongoing Pavement Management Program. It will slurry seal or
fog seal several residential streets, in addition to the following arterial streets (see Exhibit 2 for
location map and Exhibit 3 for street list table):
•El Camino Real from Palomar Airport Road to College Boulevard
•Cannon Road from El Camino Real to Faraday Avenue
•College Boulevard from Sunny Creek Road to Palomar Airport Road
•Alicante Road from Gateway Road to Paseo Candelero
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.080(E) requires the City Council to adopt plans and
specifications for all construction projects that are to be formally bid when the value exceeds
the $200,000 limit established by Public Contract Code Section 22032(c)1. The construction cost
of the project is estimated to be $1,746,400, not including construction contingency and
construction management costs, making it subject to this requirement.
Staff recommend the City Council approve the plans, specifications and contract documents,
and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for construction bids for the project.
Discussion
The Pavement Management Program uses a set of ongoing activities and practices to assess the
city’s roadway pavement conditions. Depending on the pavement condition, the program uses
appropriate treatment methods to preserve and maintain city streets, enhance safety and
extend the life of the roadway system. The program utilizes detailed comprehensive pavement
1 In accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.080, the city is subject to the alternative provisions of
the state’s Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act.

condition predictive modeling and analyses, as well as visual verification and engineering
assessment by city staff.
Staff also evaluate various maintenance and rehabilitation options and select the most
appropriate option based on the pavement condition and how the work will maximize the value
and life of the city’s pavement network. The project will extend the life of various streets by
resurfacing the existing pavement using slurry seal and fog seal. A fog seal is a light application
of an asphalt emulsion to an aged and oxidized pavement surface. Fog seals are relatively low
cost and are used to restore flexibility to the pavement surface. A slurry seal is a similar
application, but includes an aggregate, such as small, crushed rocks.
The locations included in this project, as shown in Exhibit 2, were selected based on the
modeling and analyses results, age and existing condition of the roadway surface. The fog seal
locations are on a portion of the arterial streets listed above. The application of slurry seal and
fog seal will extend the effective pavement life and delay pavement distresses, such as
oxidation, raveling and cracking. Prior to application of slurry seal or fog seal, pavement cracks
will be sealed by a specified asphalt sealant and the areas of deteriorated pavement will be
repaired by asphalt concrete patches.
In addition to preserving and maintaining existing pavement, staff typically review and refine, if
necessary, the striping and pavement markings to improve safety for all modes of travel. Typical
striping and pavement marking refinements include adding new bike lanes or enhancing
existing bike lanes where sufficient space exists. In some cases, traffic calming measures, such
as narrowing travel lanes and/or adding pavement legends that provide guidance to the drivers
and bicyclists, are implemented.
Implementation of these preservation and maintenance activities are examples of the city’s
organizational values of stewardship and excellence.
Options
Staff provide the following options for the City Council’s consideration:
1.Approve the plans and specifications and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids
for the project
Pros
•The project extends effective pavement life and delays pavement distresses for
several arterial and residential streets
•Improves safety for all modes of transportation
•The project is an example of the city’s organizational values of stewardship and
excellence
•Sufficient funding is available for the contract
Cons
•None identified
2.Do not approve the project plans and specifications and do not advertise for
construction bids
Pros
•None identified
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 2 of 27
Cons
•Delays project advertisement for construction bids, selection of contractor and
start of construction
•Pavement deterioration issues will continue to exist
•Potential increase in construction costs due to delay in award
Staff recommend Option 1 for the City Council’s approval: approve the plans and specifications
and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the project.
Traffic and Mobility Commission recommendation
At its meeting on June 7, 2021, the Traffic and Mobility Commission voted 5-0-2
(Commissioners Gocan and Wanamaker were absent) to support staff’s recommendation to
implement the 2021 Slurry Seal and Fog Seal, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 6001-
21SS.
Fiscal Analysis
Sufficient funds are available in the Pavement Management Program to complete the project.
The program funding consists of non-jurisdictional fees (generated from trash haulers), gas tax
and TransNet local funds.2 Remaining program funds will be used on future pavement
rehabilitation and resurfacing projects. The available funds and estimated construction costs
are shown in the following table:
Pavement Management Program, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 6001
Total appropriation to date $49,299,889
Total expenditures and encumbrances to date $36,404,495
Total Available Balance $12,895,394
Additional Project Costs
Construction contract (engineer’s estimate) $1,746,400
Construction contingency (estimated) $265,000
Construction management, inspection and material testing (estimated) $265,000
Total estimated construction costs $2,276,400
Remaining balance $10,618,994
Additional appropriation needed $0
Carlsbad Municipal Code sections 3.28.040(C)(5) and 3.28.090(B) authorize the City Manager or
designee to approve change orders in an amount equal to the contingency set at the time of
project award, which, for this project, is $265,000.
Next Steps
Upon City Council approval, staff will advertise a request for bids to construct the project.
Responses will be evaluated, and the lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be
identified by staff.
2 TransNet is a countywide sales tax collected to fund regional transportation projects.
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 3 of 27
Staff will then return to the City Council with a recommendation to award the contract to the
identified bidder, which is expected to be in late 2021. The construction contract for the project
provides for three months to construct the project improvements, which would result in an
estimated construction completion of mid-2022.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Guidelines Section
15301(c), which covers the repair of existing public structures and facilities involving negligible
or no expansion.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and it was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date.

This meeting was conducted virtually via Zoom due to the stay-at-home order for COVID-19.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Motion by Commissioner Linke, seconded by Commissioner Fowler to approve the minutes for the May
3, 2021 meeting.
Motion carried: 5/0/2 (Absent: Gocan and Wanamaker)
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA:
1.Daniel Hofshi - I am a resident in the Terramar neighborhood in Carlsbad. I am writing to
express my concerns about pedestrian safety specifically on Cerezo Drive between Carlsbad Blvd and Los
Robles Drive. Our neighborhood is adjacent to a popular beach destination and we receive a significant
amount of beach traffic and parking year-round. We also experience cut through traffic when Carlsbad
Blvd gets backed up. The main beach access is via the crosswalk at Cerezo Drive and Carlsbad Blvd.
Unfortunately, there is no sidewalk on Cerezo Drive. Additionally, there is street parking on both sides of
the street on Cerezo Drive between Carlsbad Blvd and Los Robles. This creates a very dangerous
situation. This forces pedestrians to have to walk in the middle of the street to get to the crosswalk.
Vehicles travel very fast turning onto Cerezo Drive, sometimes just to cut through the neighborhood. On
a weekly if not daily basis there is a close call to pedestrians walking in the middle of the street on
Cerezo. I am requesting that action is taken to make this corner safe for pedestrians before someone is
seriously hurt or killed. A very simple remedy would be to make “no parking” available on the south side
of Cerezo between Carlsbad Blvd and Los Robles Drive. This will eliminate 2-3 parking spots. An
alternative solution would be to build a sidewalk on that section of Cerezo Drive.
I am requesting that you please include my concerns and email in the upcoming Traffic and Mobility
Commission meeting scheduled for June 7, 2021. I have attached a map and the Google Street view
showing the area I am referencing. If you have any recommendations on how to move forward with my
concerns, please let me know. I can provide additional photos or video upon request to demonstrate my
concerns. Thank you for your time and consideration.
2.Robin Achey - I am a resident of the Terramar Community and live on Los Robles Drive. The
safety of our kids and our community is at risk every single day.
Cerezo drive feels like a boulevard. It is way too small of a street and it literally feels like an actual
intersection trying to navigate it. Terrible blindspots from the parked cars, surfers with their doors open
TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION
Minutes
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 14 of 27
putting their wetsuits on in the street, people doing U turns and so forth. The flow of traffic is absurd. By
9 AM on Thursday both sides of Cerezo were lined with cars up and down. Cars have to drive in the
opposite lane to get around. It is so hazardous and barely any room for cars on the road let alone
pedestrians trying to navigate. It’s absolutely terrifying.
Please help us get no parking signs on Cerezo Drive both sides & cross walks on Cerezo Drive/Los Robles
& El Arbol. Putting in a possible four-way stop sign is great but not enough.I f we eliminate parking it
will greatly decrease the amount of turnarounds. I am a mother and have two young kids ages 6 and 4.
The anxiety I have to feel every single day just going for a walk or to the beach with my kids overrides
my joy for living in this beautiful community. There are numerous families in our community that feel
the exact same way. Please, our lives are at risk every day. It’s sad. In addition to the needs on Cerezo
Drive our streets are also missing/needing: Red Curb on the corners/entrance of Cannon/Los robles and
Cannon/El arbor. Cars come flying into our neighborhood and there is no visibility because cars are
allowed to park right there. Cannot tell you how many times we’ve almost gotten hit**Visible speed
limit signs/other slow down signs. Speed bumps (people often come through at 40- 50+ mph)
As a mother I’m just not willing to sit back and let this keep going on. Terramar is a beautiful, sacred
community (not to mention extremely expensive to live in.) Surely, we can provide the necessary safety
precautions to protect the residents. These videos were taken a couple of months ago. Now it’s summer
and we are at even more peak times. You get the idea how what it’s like though.
3. Carol Scurlock - The intersection of Cerezo and Los Robles, in the Terramar neighborhood, has a
large percentage of cars going east making u turns to go back to Carlsbad Blvd for parking. Cars travel
quickly because they want to catch the green lite at the Blvd to turn South. Cerezo is an extremely
dangerous street due to parking on North and South sides, surfers with open doors and boards on the
street, families walking in the street to the beach, and on and on. No sidewalks and fast surfer and
tourist traffic make for fatalities waiting to happen. I walk every day on that street and know full well
the dangers. This afternoon was so close I truly thought they collided, and I had just been right there
walking our dog. I talk with lots of surfers and beach goers and everyone, without exception, believes
the area needs a four way stop. Someone in the City responded that traffic would back up to the
Blvd. That could happen if a signal were put in, but not with stop signs, it' s just stop and go. Traffic
would flow easily and safely. Please oh please, listen to reasoning and help get this done.
4. Linda Daniels - As a resident of Carlsbad and an owner of a mountain bike and a street bike, I
was also considering an electric bike to cut down on carbon emissions in Carlsbad, However, I do not
feel safe as the bike lanes are not as well marked as they are in Encinitas! Their green charros and bright
green paint make it much safer! Promoting the use of all types of bikes could have a dramatic effect on
the Carlsbad residents - exercise is healthy! No gym membership required! And GHG emissions would be
reduced for easier breathing! I am suggesting that all bike lanes be painted bright green with an image
of a bicycle at intervals in the lane. Signage is needed for the motorists which will alert drivers to the
presence of the bike lanes and the need to keep 3 feet of clearance to bikers. As I live in Old Carlsbad,
going downtown would be easy and require no need for a parking space! (allowing our tourists easier
parking) I think that if we gave the Carlsbad residents the ability to ride safely on the entire Coast
Highway in Carlsbad, we would see more cyclists, have a healthier community and we would contribute
less GCHG emissions! I am a member of the Sierra Club MyGen branch in Carlsbad and understand we
have challenged your department to re-paint the existing bike lanes and add the charros and
signage. Please act on this! Our city needs visible, safe bike lanes. Thank you for your attention.
5. Brenda and Paul Washicko - We are residents in the Terramar neighborhood in Carlsbad. We
are writing to express our concerns about pedestrian safety on Cerezo Drive between Carlsbad Blvd and
Los Robles Drive. Our neighborhood is adjacent to a popular beach destination and we receive a
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 15 of 27
significant amount of beach traffic and parking year-round. We also experience cut through traffic when
Carlsbad Blvd gets backed up. The main beach access is via the crosswalk at Cerezo Drive and Carlsbad
Blvd. Unfortunately, there is no sidewalk on Cerezo Drive. Additionally, there is street parking on both
sides of the street. This creates a very dangerous situation. This forces pedestrians to have to walk in the
middle of the street to get to the crosswalk. Vehicles travel very fast turning onto Cerezo Drive,
sometimes just to cut through the neighborhood. On a daily basis, there is a close call to pedestrians
walking in the middle of the street on Cerezo Drive. We are requesting that action is taken to make this
corner safe for pedestrians before someone is seriously hurt or killed. A very simple remedy would be to
make “no parking” available on the south side of Cerezo between Carlsbad Blvd and Los Robles Drive.
This will eliminate 2-3 parking spots.
6. Brad Smith - We have been residents on Los Robles Drive for ten years. We are adjacent to
Cerezo Drive. Much has changed over the last few years with beach parking, people sleeping in their
vehicles and speeding through the neighborhood. The stretch of Cerezo Drive from Carlsbad Blvd to Los
Robles is a very dangerous situation. Beachgoers who live or park in the neighborhood are
literally risking their lives to make it to the crosswalk. There are no sidewalks and when cars are parked
on Cerezo (constantly) the only access for pedestrians is in the middle of the street. This issue is
magnified by the north bound vehicular traffic that cut through the neighborhood to avoid traffic on
Carlsbad Blvd. Vehicles consistently turn quickly onto Cerezo Drive from Carlsbad Blvd then left on Los
Robles at high rates of speed or they use the intersection of Cerezo Drive and Los Robles as a
roundabout. People continue to flock to the neighborhood to sleep in their cars and vans. The issue has
grown considerably in the last few years and there has been no enforcement to discourage this
situation. The byproduct of this situation is a constant source of trash, human waste and
general disrespect for the neighborhood. There is also an uneasy feeling for folks in the neighborhood
that are concerned about the safety of their children. Beachgoers park in the neighborhood to access
the beach. Unfortunately, there is very little street parking for the residents, guests, delivery trucks,
construction and home maintenance services. The beach parking starts at first light and can go well into
the night. Beachgoers park in front of mailboxes, leave trash behind, BBQ on the streets, gather to hang
out, play loud music, utilize front yards for beach preparation, etc. I know there are many variables to
these situations and government agency frameworks. Yet, we as a neighborhood are highly frustrated
and need to make headway on some solutions. I recognize there will be many experienced people
discussing these situations, but I would like to make a couple of suggestions as one of the people that
deal with this every single day.
1. Paint the curbs red on Cerezo Drive from Carlsbad Blvd. to Los Robles Drive or install a sidewalk.
2. Create a parking permit for the residents. This is done in several beach communities in Southern
California that have beach access points within residential neighborhoods.
We appreciate the City of Carlsbad taking time to review the situation. We are ready to work on
solutions; these issues have been mounting for some time now and getting worse.
7. Diane Barry – I am a concerned resident who lives in Terramar on Los Robles Drive and a
neighbor of Robyn Achey. I definitely support enforcing stricter rules for driving and parking in our
neighborhood. Below are items of concern and a few suggestions. Thank you so much for
getting involved. We appreciate all that you can do for us. I'm sure if you were experiencing this in your
neighborhood you would want something to be done. Please include my concerns in the TMC Meeting
Record.
Overnight/Day Use Parking Concerns:
• People sleeping/living out of their cars use the bamboo as a bathroom on Cerezo
• Leave Trash, excrement, condoms, cigarette butts, vaping cartridges.
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 16 of 27
• Beach Goers
• Using Residents front yard' for picnics/BBQs
• Blocking driveways - Elderly resident was bullied while trying to pull into his driveway. He
inched closer to his blocked driveway. The men started to threaten him.
• Parking in front of homes for the whole day
• Changing out of wetsuits in yards - leaving trash, damaging landscaping & irrigation.
Recommendation: 1-2-hour limit on parking. Terramar Resident permit parking. No parking between
9:00PM - 5:00AM. Car needs a Terramar permit. See San Clemente’s Parking Permit instructions. This
deters non-resident overnight parking.
https://www.san-clemente.org/i-am-a-/resident/parking-permits
Pedestrian/Resident Safety – Concerns:
• U TURNS @ Cerezo/Los Robles/El Arbol - Drivers do this quickly without looking.
• AM Commuters trying to bypass Cannon light & PM Commuters/anytime the Blvd. is backed up
• Racing down Los Robles/El Arbol – 35+MPHs
• Tense/Threatening confrontations - Flagging drivers to slow down. Speeders will flip a finger
and yell. Verbal confrontation in front of our house.
• Cars at Manzano Dead End during sunset - Drinking, smoking, loud music and trash are a
concern. NO PARKING signs, but no one there to enforce.
• Cars parked on Cerezo block pedestrians. Cars don't see us when they are turning into our
neighborhood. This is dangerous for ALL pedestrians.
Recommendations:
• No Left Turn-from Cannon - Los Robles/El Arbol between 6:00AM - 9:00AM - Monday - Friday
• No Right Turn onto Cerezo between 3:30PM - 7:00PM - Monday - Friday
• Carlsbad Police Sit in neighborhood during times above.
• Speed bumps/humps – They were installed on Donna Drive.
• Lower Speed Limit - Spray Speed Limit on road. Radar sign showing speed.
• No U Turn signs @ Cerezo/Los Robles /El Arbol
8. Former Vice-Chair Jonnie Johnson of the Traffic & Mobility Commission and a 40-year resident
of Terramar, I am requesting the following changes be made to the City’s Residential Traffic
Management Program.
1. Include beach proximity to the program scoring criteria. The current Residential Traffic Calming
Program factors addresses parks and school proximity, but not address beaches (a very large
park). While parks and schools are important, they do not have 7-day-a week traffic. The
program also cites monitoring traffic weekdays only. Please note last week, the City erected
traffic monitoring equipment with cameras at 2 intersections in our neighborhood. The
equipment appeared before 7 am on Tuesday and was removed before 7 am on Wednesday.
When asked what the purpose of the equipment was, I was told to determine if a need for a 4-
way stop sign was warranted. Which I find ironic, because it’s been an unwritten rule that stop
signs are ineffective method to calm traffic. Please note the stop sign at El Arbol and Cerezo was
removed years ago and replaced with a yield sign. When asked why, the traffic engineer stated
stop signs don’t guarantee stops.
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 17 of 27
2. Expand monitoring to include weekends. Carlsbad has a seven-mile coastline. Everyone knows
the beach brings traffic, especially on the weekend. To ignore this factor does not present a
true/complete picture. Keep in mind, incomplete surveys are presented to management, traffic
commissions to base their decisions. For many years, Terramar has reported problems with
speeding, U-turns, overnight parking, etc. to no avail. Primarily, because the monitoring was
performed weekdays. I urge you to start incorporating and adding these factors/procedures.
The plan is 10 years old and desperately needs these additions.
CONSENT CALENDAR: This item was pulled for discussion by Commissioner Linke
1. 2021 SLURRY SEAL AND FOG SEAL, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECT NO. 6001-21SS -
Support staff’s recommendation to implement the 2021 Slurry Seal and Fog Seal, Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 6001-21SS - (Staff Contact: Jonathan Schauble and Hossein
Ajideh, Public Works)
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Linke mentioned that two drawings associated with the slurry seal project are not the latest
version of the lane configuration.
Traffic Engineer Kim agreed about both points and said that they will make those corrections to the 2021
Slurry Seal and Fog Seal Project No. 6001-21SS.
Vice-Chair Perez inquired about the timing of the slurry seal and the road improvements on Canon Road
and College Boulevard and El Camino Real CIP projects 6042 and 6071.
Engineering Manager Ajideh said that the construction will come first, then the slurry.
ACTION:
Motion by commissioner Linke, seconded by Commissioner Hunter to approve staff’s recommendation
to implement the 2021 Slurry Seal and Fog Seal, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 6001-
21SS
Motion carried: 5/0/2 (Absent: Gocan and Wanamaker)
DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS:
2. POLICE MONTHLY REPORT – (Staff Contact: Sgt. Scott Meritt, Police Department)
Sergeant Meritt presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office
of the City Clerk).
DISCUSSION:
Sergeant Meritt stated that in the month of May they continued their e-bike enforcement and education
which includes a video through their School Resource Officer Program. The Motor Officers have been
asked to include extra patrols in the school zones in the morning hours.
Near Sage Creek high school, a student riding his e-bike ran into the rear of the vehicle, fell off the bike
and sustained a leg injury and road rash. The cyclist was determined to be most at fault traveling at an
unsafe speed for the conditions.
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 18 of 27
Commissioner Penseyres asked if there were noise enforcements on Carlsbad Boulevard in the north,
near the roundabout. In that location, there is noise from the motorcycles as well as the illegal driving
by them moving into the bike lane, sometimes cars do that.
Sergeant Meritt stated that the noise enforcements are ongoing. As for the north end of the city where
the merging of the lanes occurs, he will bring that concern to the Traffic Division Officers to monitor.
Hopefully their presence and some enforcement will calm the problems.
Commissioner Penseyres wanted to clarify that the illegal passing is from the north to south, they cross
the bridge then move over to the right creating another lane in the bike lane.
Commissioner Fowler is interested in learning the type and number of e-bike citation or friendly warning
that people are getting.
Sergeant Meritt said that the enforcement and education is focused on our younger school age
population. The majority of the citations and warnings have been for helmet violations for people under
18 years old. As for adult e-bike riders most of the time it is a verbal warning to ensure that they follow
the laws. Over the summer they will be looking at speed enforcement. In addition to the Traffic Division,
they are working with other divisions, as a team to address these challenges.
Commissioner Penseyres mentioned that he has provided Lieutenant Calderwood with about 700 bike
class education cards.
Sergeant Meritt said that they value opportunities to promote educational options to improve safety
and will inquire about passing these cards out to the bike riders via the Police Department.
Vice-Chair Perez wanted to thank Officer Sakamoto for taking the time to talk to him at school about
what is going on during drop off and pick up times. He would like to know what information is collected
from the crossing guards about what is going on based on what they are seeing. A crossing guard
mentioned to Officer Sakamoto that when he raised the stop sign for cars, the e-bikes keep going and do
not stop. Is that a moving violation?
Sergeant Meritt answered that if a person runs the stop sign on an e-bike, yes, it is a violation of the
California vehicle code and is a sizable violation. Bicycles are considered vehicles and are subject to the
same laws.
Sergeant Meritt said that they do work closely with our crossing guard program, which is a city
sponsored program. They get input from them several times a week based on what they observed so
that they can respond appropriately. Just last Thursday they had an issue at Valley Street and Tamarack
Street where a crossing guard informed our team that people were speeding and not coming to a
complete stop when they held up their stop sign. In response to the comment they send some of the
Motors team to issue citations and observed exactly what was reported by the crossing guards. The
crossing guards are the Motor Cops eyes and ears out there.
Vice-chair Perez inquired if bike safety is within the T&MC purview.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt answered yes, and staff will work with the
schools to gather that information for the commission.
Vice-chair Perez asked if the officers are on e-bikes.
Sergeant Meritt replied that they just purchased 6 e-bikes and you will start to see them in the
downtown district. They just completed a training on the e-bikes.
3. AGE-FRIENDLY CARLSBAD INITIATIVE OVERVIEW– (Staff Contact: David Graham, Chief Innovation
Officer, Policy and Leadership, City Manager)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive a presentation and provide input
Chief Innovation Officer Graham presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on
file in the Office of the City Clerk).
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 19 of 27
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Linke summarized his suggestions:
1) Include specific action items that would ensure that new developments pay their fair share towards
mobility improvements for seniors and all ages.
2) Pare down the extensive list of 29 actions with an emphasis on new actions that will directly approve
facilities and services or will accelerate the pace of completing projects on our list.
3) Include more details on how the actions will be implemented with the timeframe listed so that we
can effectively monitor progress. If no details or timing commitment can be provided, consider dropping
that action and focus on a smaller number.
Chief Innovation Officer Graham appreciated the suggestions and explained that the plan is intentionally
referential to a series of other documents the city has in place. What this report is trying to do is bring
together the actions the city is already doing or prospective actions, the city could do to support Age-
Friendly initiatives.
Chief Innovation Officer Graham will drill down even further into what elements are specific to Age
Friendliness, that we need to ensure are included. They will add to the plan level of specificity of the
elements that must be included as we are implementing the action plan. The feedback is very valuable
and expected at this stage. Staff also values the implementation of plans and not just letting them sit on
a shelf. Thank you for your comments, we will incorporate them.
Commissioner Penseyres inquired about the survey sample size, reaching out to mostly tech savvy
citizens (based on the survey results), and the focus on the 98% that drive their car when other groups
are finding other ways of getting around town.
Chief Innovation Officer Graham said that the 630-survey sample included both digital and traditional
outreach methods. Traditional outreach was conducted through the senior meals program participants.
They also found that if driving is no longer an option for them, they want additional options for getting
around. Older adults want convenient options, they need multiple different ways of getting around as
they age and want to stay in Carlsbad. As for the target age group, your age no longer defines you, it is
your activity level.
Commissioner Fowler is very active in the senior community and he said, if you don’t have access to
public transportation or internet access, that needs to be recognized as one of their concerns. We need
better transportation to get seniors that do not have a car to get to their appointments. One of the
things that the Senior Community is going to do is lobby the City Council to be more responsive to
SANDAG initiatives regarding moving towards public transportation; making sidewalks available, access
to those with disabilities, and holding the developers accountable.
Chief Innovation Officer Graham said as an action item, they will consider additional data collection
around transportation preferences of our older adults and how that ties into our transportation network
and planning.
Vice-chair Perez would like to find a way to survey a more diverse demographic.
Chief Innovation Officer Graham said that staff had the same concern and they believe that there is
further research that needs to be done.
Vice-chair Perez mentioned the importance of having senior living and assisted living facilities near
transportation options that are safe and convenient. He emphasized the importance of working on
these action items now.
4. FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION WORK PLAN – FINAL DRAFT - (Staff
Contact: Nathan Schmidt, Public Works)
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 20 of 27
Staff’s Recommendation: Approve the final draft and appoint a commissioner to represent the
Traffic and Mobility Commission at City council
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt presented the report and reviewed a
PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Linke submitted and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City
Clerk).
Commissioner Linke reviewed the Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 18 Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) and
recommended additional wording:
“The city council may modify the designation by amendment to the resolution at any time. It is the city
council’s intention to review the designation of circulation improvements and the amount of the fee on
an annual basis.”
Commissioner Linke expressed concerns over the continued delay in updating the TIF and the potential
impact on funding of future transportation infrastructure in Carlsbad by development projects. The
update of the Municipal Code was not the subject of the staff presentation which was about the
commission’s work plan but Commissioner Linke wanted the commission to understand the wording in
the Municipal Code about the Traffic Impact Fee. The City Council discussed the Traffic Impact Fee on
Capital Improvement Project list in 2008 on a program that was originally done in 1995. In August of
2020, the City Council unanimously passed a minute motion to expedite the update of the TIF program.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said that staff understands the importance of
the timeline. Staff will hire a consultant at the end of 2021, and it will take two years to complete, due
to the complexity of the new fee program.
Commissioner Linke proposed an interim solution to consider incremental updates while the formal
update was administered.
The Traffic and Mobility Commission Work Plan will go to the City Council on July 27, 2021.
ACTION:
Motion by Commissioner Linke to support staff’s recommendations, with the exception of
recommending to the City Council an incremental update to the TIF program on the projects that are
already on the CIP project list to be included in the Work Plan.
Motion did not carry.
Motion by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Hunter to support staff’s
recommendations for Fiscal Year 2021-22 Traffic and Mobility Commission Work Plan and to appoint a
commissioner to represent the T&MC at the City Council meeting.
Motion carried: 4/1/2 (No: Linke; Absent: Gocan and Wanamaker)
Motion by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Hunter to nominate Vice-Chair Perez to
represent the Traffic and Mobility Commission on July 27, 2021 City Council meeting.
Motion carried: 5/0/2 (Absent: Gocan and Wanamaker)
5. AVENIDA ENCINAS COASTAL RAIL TRAIL REVISION – (Staff Contact: Nathan Schmidt, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive a presentation and provide input
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 21 of 27
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt presented the report and reviewed a
PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Hunter inquired about the decision to locate the Coastal Rail Trail on Avenida Encinas.
Traffic and Mobility Manager Schmidt mentioned that there are still environmental constraints near the
railroad lines because it is a biologically sensitive habitat. After speaking with SANDAG about the overall
Coastal Rail Trail route, they are estimating that it would cost roughly nine to ten million dollar a mile to
position the trail along the railroad near Ponto. The benefit of selecting Avenida Encinas, is that it
provides additional access to the community and transit station, has grant funding, and would provide
less expensive option for near term implementation. In the future, when improvements are
implemented on Carlsbad Boulevard, they will have the option to continue along Carlsbad Boulevard.
Commissioner Penseyres has concern about calling this the Coastal Rail Trail. If in the future we can
continue the trail on Carlsbad Boulevard then they will have an incredible amount of right away, center
divides, and the benefit of the ocean views.
Commissioner Linke agreed that this proposal is okay but not an ideal solution.
Transportation Director Frank said that at other areas on the Coast Rail Trail where they cross the
lagoons, you see a similar situation.
6. SEMIANNUAL TRANSPORTATION REPORT – (Staff Contact: Tom Frank, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive report
Transportation Director Frank presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file
in the Office of the City Clerk).
DISCUSSION:
The commissioners enjoyed seeing what we accomplished over the last 6 months. They also appreciate
and welcome the residents to continue to be our eyes and ears for what can be improved in the City of
Carlsbad transportation network, including graffiti issues. When talking about specific roadways listed on
the presentation, staff is looking for the most cost-effective complete streets fix for the roadway
segments.
CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER REPORT:
City Traffic Engineer Comments: Attachment A
TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Traffic Engineer Kim highlighted that the traffic calming projects listed in the report are implemented in
large part due to the assistance of the commission. Staff is very appreciative that traffic calming is brought
forward to the community through the Traffic and Mobility Commission suggestions, recommendations,
and public comments.
Commissioner Penseyres was curious if we have a backlog on project review since the pandemic.
Traffic Engineer Kim said that we do have a backlog of phase two measures that require public meetings
which they will start holding. Staff has been very active with phase one measures that includes minor
signing and striping, installing 25 mile per hour speed limit signs, and pavement legends.
Aug. 31, 2021 Item #5 Page 22 of 27
Commissioner Linke inquired into the five big moves SANDAG plan.
Transportation Director Frank said that staff is going to dive into the details and provide comments to
SANDAG.
Commissioner Penseyres asked about the commission’s involvement in the Grand Avenue Promenade.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said when there are more specific details, it will
be coming before the commission to review. City council is scheduled to review the project priorities,
which includes the Grand Avenue Promenade, from the Village and Barrio Master Plan at their meeting
on July 27, 2021.
Commissioner Linke addressed the public comment on the Terramar project and asked if the neighbor’s
concerns could be added to the Traffic Engineering report.
Traffic Engineer Kim said that they have been addressing their issues, gathering data, and will bring it to
the commission for their review.
The commissioners appreciate the chance to elevate the community’s concerns.
Vice-Chair Perez mentioned about the change in school drop off since the pandemic has been lifted. They
noticed the traffic has been reduced based on the staggered schedule and would like to talk to the schools
about permanently using the staggered drop off to reduce congestion around schools. He also inquired
about the new roadway extension and roadway improvements, are we monitoring traffic levels since
COVID restrictions have eased?
Transportation Director Frank said that we are not monitoring traffic, yet CALTRANS said that traffic is
back 95% of pre-COVID levels.
Vice-Chair Perez would like to learn about the city ordinances related to parking rules, specifically
oversized parking and no parking zones.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that he would be glad to talk to Vice-Chair Perez offline and explain how the
city ordinances were formed.
Vice-Chair Perez agreed and inquired about the concerns that residents are expressing with roadway
pavement damage/bumps in the bike lanes on Tamarack Avenue westbound between El Camino Real and
Carlsbad Village Drive.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that staff will look into this concern.
Commissioner Penseyres agreed with Vic-Chair Perez’s concerns based on the downhill slope and speed
that cyclists can travel on this section of Tamarack Avenue.
Transportation Director Frank said that staff will be looking into this concern as a part of the Sustainable
Mobility Plan CIP improvement project for this section of Tamarack Avenue.

CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
NOTICE INVITING BIDS
Until 11 a.m. on October 19, 2021, the City shall accept bids via electronic format via the City of Carlsbad Electronic Bidding Site, PlanetBids, which may be accessed at https://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/finance/contracting/default.asp, for performing the work as follows: Cold mill, pave, and stripe various streets. 2021 SLURRY SEAL AND FOG SEAL CONTRACT NO. 6001-21SS BID NO. PWS22-1585TRAN
ELECTRONIC FORMAT RECEIPT AND OPENING OF BIDS: Bids will be received in electronic format (eBids) EXCLUSIVELY at the City of Carlsbad’s electronic bidding (eBidding) site, at: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/finance/contracting/default.asp and are due by the date and time shown on the cover of this solicitation. BIDDERS MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED with the City’s bidding system and possess a system-assigned Digital ID in order to submit an electronic bid. The City’s electronic bidding (eBidding) system will automatically track information submitted to the site including IP addresses, browsers being used and the URLs from which information was submitted. In addition, the City’s bidding system will keep a history of every login instance
including the time of login, and other information about the user's computer configuration such as the operating system, browser type, version, and more. Because of these security features, Bidders who disable their browsers’ cookies will not be able to log in and use the City’s bidding system. The City’s electronic bidding system is responsible for bid tabulations. Upon the bidder’s or proposer’s entry of their bid, the system will ensure that all required fields are entered. The system will not accept a bid for which any required information is missing. This includes all necessary
pricing, subcontractor listing(s) and any other essential documentation and supporting materials and forms requested or contained in these solicitation documents. BIDS REMAIN SEALED UNTIL DUE DATE AND TIME eBids are transmitted into the City’s bidding system via hypertext transfer protocol secure (https) mechanism using SSL 128-256-bit security certificates issued from Verisign/Thawte which
encrypts data being transferred from client to server. Bids submitted prior to the Due Date and Time are not available for review by anyone other than the submitter, who will have until the Due Date and Time to change, rescind or retrieve its bid should they desire to do so. BIDS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY DUE DATE AND TIME Once the deadline is reached, no further submissions are accepted into the system. Once the
Due Date and Time has passed, bidders, proposers, the general public, and City staff are able to immediately see the results online. City staff may then begin reviewing the submissions for responsiveness, compliance and other issues.
Revised 6/12/18 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 7 of 134
RECAPITULATION OF THE WORK Bids shall not contain any recapitulation of the Work. Conditional Bids may be rejected as being
non-responsive. Alternative proposals will not be considered unless called for. BIDS MAY BE WITHDRAWN by the Bidder prior to, but not after, the time set as Due Date and Time. Important Note: Submission of the electronic bid into the system may not be instantaneous. Due
to the speed and capabilities of the user’s internet service provider (ISP), bandwidth, computer hardware and other variables, it may take time for the bidder’s submission to upload and be received by the City’s eBidding system. It is the bidder’s sole responsibility to ensure their bids are received on time by the City’s eBidding system. The City of Carlsbad is not responsible for bids that do not arrive by the Due Date and Time. ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS CARRY FULL FORCE AND EFFECT The Bidder, by submitting their electronic proposal, agrees to and certifies under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California, that the certification, forms and affidavits submitted as part of this proposal are true and correct. The bidder, by submitting its electronic bid, acknowledges that doing so carries the same force and full legal effect as a paper submission with a longhand (wet) signature. By submitting an electronic bid, the bidder certifies that the bidder has thoroughly examined and understands the entire Contract Documents (which consist of the plans and specifications, drawings, forms, affidavits and the solicitation documents), and that by submitting the eBid as its bid proposal, the bidder acknowledges, agrees to and is bound by the entire Contract Documents, including any addenda issued thereto, and incorporated by reference in the Contract Documents. BIDS ARE PUBLIC RECORDS Upon receipt by the City, bids shall become public records subject to public disclosure. It is the
responsibility of the Bidder to clearly identify any confidential, proprietary, trade secret or otherwise legally privileged information contained within the proposal’s General references to sections of the California Public Records Act (PRA) will not suffice. If the Bidder does not provide
applicable case law that clearly establishes that the requested information is exempt from the disclosure requirements of the PRA, the City shall be free to release the information when required in accordance with the PRA, pursuant to any other applicable law, or by order of any court or government agency, and the Bidder agrees to hold the City harmless for any such release of this information. This bid and the terms of the Contract Documents and Supplemental Provisions constitute an irrevocable offer that shall remain valid and in full force for a period of 180 days and such
additional time as may be mutually agreed upon by the City of Carlsbad and the Bidder. INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS AND BID REQUIREMENTS This bid and the terms of the Contract Documents and General Provisions constitute an irrevocable offer that shall remain valid and in full force for a period of 180 days and such additional time as may be mutually agreed upon by the City of Carlsbad and the Bidder.
No bid will be received unless it is made on a proposal form furnished by the Purchasing Department. Each bid must be accompanied by security in a form and amount required by law.
The bidder's security of the second and third next lowest responsive bidders may be withheld until the Contract has been fully executed. The security submitted by all other unsuccessful bidders shall be returned to them, or deemed void, within ten (10) days after the Contract is awarded.
Revised 6/12/18 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 8 of 134
Pursuant to the provisions of law (Public Contract Code section 10263), appropriate securities may be substituted for any obligation required by this notice or for any monies withheld by the
City to ensure performance under this Contract. Section 10263 of the Public Contract Code requires monies or securities to be deposited with the City or a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent. The escrow agent shall maintain insurance to cover negligent

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
performance 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 California whom 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, 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
Subcontractor-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.

SECTION 2 – SCOPE AND CONTROL OF WORK
2-1 AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT. Award and execution of Contract will be as provided for in the Specifications, Instruction to Bidders, or Notice Inviting Bids. 2-2 ASSIGNMENT. No Contract or portion thereof may be assigned without consent of the Board, except that the Contractor may assign money due or which will accrue to it under the Contract. If given written notice, such assignment will be recognized by the Board to the extent
permitted by law. Any assignment of money shall be subject to all proper withholdings in favor of the Agency and to all deductions provided for in the Contract. All money withheld, whether assigned or not, shall be subject to being used by the Agency for completion of the Work, should
the Contractor be in default. 2-3 SUBCONTRACTS.
2-3.1 General. Each Bidder shall comply with the Chapter of the Public Contract Code including Sections 4100 through 4113. The following excerpts or summaries of some of the requirements
of this Chapter are included below for information: 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.” 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 4110 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 Contractor a penalty in an amount of not more than 10 percent of the subcontract involved, after a public hearing.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 54 of 134
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 the Board and shall be notified ten (10) days in advance of the time and location of said
hearing. The determination 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 subcontracted. 2-3.3 Status of Subcontractors. Subcontractors shall be considered employees of the Contractor, 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
bonding 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
Procedure 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 55 of 134

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 commissioner.
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 10 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. 2-5 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. 2-5.1 General. The Contractor shall keep at the Work site a copy of the Plans and

site during all surveying operations and shall personally supervise and certify the surveying work. 2-9.2.3 Payment for Survey, Payment for work performed to satisfy the requirements of Sections 2-9.1 through 2-9.2.2 shall be included in the actual bid items requiring the survey work and no additional payment will be made. Extension of unit prices for extra work shall include full compensation for attendant survey work and no additional payment will be made. Payment for
the replacement of disturbed monuments and the filing of records of survey and/or corner records, including filing fees, shall be incidental to the work necessitating the disturbance of said monuments and no additional payment will be made. 2-9.3 Private Engineers. Surveying by private engineers on the Work shall conform to the quality and practice required by the Engineer. 2-9.4 Line and Grade. All work shall conform to the lines, elevations, and grades shown on the Plans. Three consecutive points set on the same slope shall be used together so that any variation from
a straight grade can be detected. Any such variation shall be reported to the Engineer. In the absence of such report, the Contractor shall be responsible for any error in the grade of the finished work.
Grades for underground conduits will be set at the surface of the ground. The Contractor shall transfer them to the bottom of the trench.
2-10 AUTHORITY OF BOARD AND ENGINEER. The Board has the final authority in all matters affecting the Work. Within the scope of the Contract, the Engineer has the authority to
enforce compliance with the Plans and Specifications. The Contractor shall promptly comply with instructions from the Engineer or an authorized representative.
The decision of the Engineer is final and binding on all questions relating to: quantities; acceptability of material, equipment, or work; execution, progress or sequence of work; and interpretation of the Plans, Specifications, or other drawings. This shall be precedent to any
payment under the Contract, unless otherwise ordered by the Board. 2-10.1 Availability of Records, The Contractor shall, at no charge to the Agency, provide copies of all records in the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s possession pertaining to the work that the Engineer may request. 2-10.2 Audit and Inspection, Contractor agrees to maintain and/or make available, to the Engineer, within San Diego County, accurate books and accounting records relative to all its activities and to contractually require all subcontractors to this Contract to do the same.

Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 61 of 134
include, but not be limited to, audits, inspection of premises, reports, contracts, subcontracts and interviews of Contractor’s staff and the staff of all subcontractors to this contract. At any time
during normal business hours and as often as the Engineer may deem necessary, upon reasonable advance notice, Contractor shall make available to the Engineer for examination, all of its, and all subcontractors to this contract, records with respect to all matters covered by this
Contract and will permit the Engineer to audit, examine, copy and make excerpts or transcripts from such data and records, and to make audits of all invoices, materials, payrolls, records of personnel, and other data relating to all matters covered by this Contract. However, any such
activities shall be carried out in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with Contractor’s ongoing business operations. Contractor and all subcontractors to this contract shall maintain such data and records for as long as may be required by applicable laws and regulations. 2-11 INSPECTION. The Work is subject to inspection and approval by the Engineer. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer before noon of the working day before inspection is required.
Work shall be done only in the presence of the Engineer, unless otherwise authorized. Any work done without proper inspection will be subject to rejection. The Engineer and any authorized representatives shall at all times have access to the Work during its construction at shops and
yards as well as the project site. The Contractor shall provide every reasonable facility for ascertaining that the materials and workmanship are in accordance with these specifications. Inspection of the Work shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to fulfill all conditions of
the Contract.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 62 of 134
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 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 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 63 of 134
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 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 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 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 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 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 64 of 134
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 CALTRANS, 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 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 65 of 134
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 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 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 66 of 134
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 III 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 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 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 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.

understands and agrees that this potential claim, unless resolved, must be restated as a claim 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
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.

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 generally 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 considered 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 directed by the Engineer.
If the Contractor fails to replace any defective or damaged work or material after reasonable notice, 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
Specifications. 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 Contractor 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 necessary 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 fabrication, 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
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 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,
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 74 of 134
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 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 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. 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 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. 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
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 75 of 134
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 or any 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.
If the Contractor chooses to dispute the Agency’s test results, the Contractor shall conduct
additional testing of their own, at no additional cost to the Agency. The additional testing shall be done by a third-party certified testing lab agreed upon by the Agency and the Contractor, and at project locations selected by the Agency. Testing and sampling shall be conducted in the presence of the Engineer or designee.
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. If the Contractor wishes to use any different products, materials or methods other than those
specified in this contract, the Contractor shall submit those in a Request for Information (RFI) form for consideration by the City during the advertisement period only. If the Contractor wishes to use any different products, materials or methods after the contract has been awarded, the City has
sole discretion whether to consider them. 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 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 76 of 134
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 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
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 77 of 134
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. 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
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 78 of 134
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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 79 of 134
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 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
support 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 80 of 134
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, 2012 Edition, and the supplements thereto. 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 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 81 of 134
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 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
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 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 82 of 134
SECTION 6 – PROSECUTION, PROGRESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORK
6-1 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND COMMENCEMENT OF WORK. Except as
otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise prohibited by permits from other agencies as may be required by law the Contractor shall begin work within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the "Notice to Proceed".
6-1.1 Preconstruction 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 management 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 Preconstruction Meeting. A technical representative for the Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additive technology must attend the Preconstruction Meeting. 6-1.1.1 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 Baseline Construction Schedule shall include each item and element of Sections 6-1.2 through 6-1.2.9 and shall be on hard (paper) copy and electronic media conforming to Section 6-1.3.3
Electronic Media. 6-1.2 Preparation and Review of the Baseline Construction Schedule. The Contractor shall
prepare the Baseline Construction Schedule as a Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedule in the precedence diagram method (activity-on-node) format. The Baseline Construction Schedule shall depict a workable plan showing the sequence, duration, and interdependence of all activities
required to represent the complete performance of all project work as well as periods where work is precluded. The Baseline Construction Schedule shall begin with the projected date of issuance of the notice to proceed and conclude with the date of final completion per the contract duration. The Baseline Construction Schedule shall include detail of all project phasing, staging, and sequencing, including all milestones necessary to define beginning and ending of each phase or stage. 6-1.2.1 Time-Scaled Network Diagram. As a part of the Baseline Construction Schedule the
Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Engineer a complete time-scaled network diagram showing all of the activities, logic relationships, and milestones comprising the schedule. 6-1.2.2 Tabular Listing. As a part of the Baseline Construction Schedule the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Engineer a tabular listing of all of the activities, showing for each activity the identification number, the description, the duration, the early start, the early finish, the late
start, the late finish, the total float, and all predecessor and successor activities for the activity described. 6-1.2.3 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
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 83 of 134
tasks on the vertical axis and duration on the horizontal axis. The bar chart shall use differing texture patterns or distinctive line types to show the critical path.
6-1.2.5 Schedule Activities. Except for submittal activities, activity durations shall not be shorter than 1 working day nor longer than 15 working days, unless specifically and individually allowed
by the Engineer. The Baseline Construction Schedule shall include between 100 and 500 activities, including submittals, interfaces between utility companies and other agencies, project milestones and equipment and material deliveries. The number of activities will be sufficient, in
the judgment of the Engineer, to communicate the Contractor’s plan for project execution, to accurately describe the project work, and to allow monitoring and evaluation of progress and of time impacts. Each activity’s description shall accurately define the work planned for the activity and each activity shall have recognizable beginning and end points. 6-1.2.6 Float. Float or slack time within the schedule is available without charge or compensation
to whatever party or contingency first exhausts it. 6-1.2.7 Restraints to Activities. Any submittals, utility interfaces, or any furnishing of Agency supplied materials, equipment, or services, which may impact any activity’s construction shall be shown as a restraint to those activities. Time periods to accommodate the review and correction of submittals shall be included in the schedule. 6-1.2.8 Late Completion. A Baseline Construction Schedule showing a project duration longer than the specified contract duration will not be acceptable and will be grounds for determination of default by Contractor, per Section 6-4. 6-1.2.9 Early Completion. The Baseline Construction Schedule will show the Contractor’s plan to support and maintain the project for the entire contractual time span of the project. Should the Contractor propose a project duration shorter than contract duration, a complete Baseline
Construction Schedule must be submitted, reflecting the shorter duration, in complete accordance with all schedule requirements of Section 6-1. The Engineer may choose to accept the Contractor’s proposal of a project duration shorter than the duration specified; provided the
Agency is satisfied the shortened Baseline Construction Schedule is reasonable and the Agency and all other entities, public and private, which interface with the project are able to support the provisions of the shortened Baseline Construction Schedule. The Agency’s acceptance of a shortened duration project will be confirmed through the execution of a contract change order revising the project duration and implementing all contractual requirements including liquidated damages in accordance with the revised duration. 6-1.2.10 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 Contractor complies with the requirements of these supplemental provisions shall be a condition precedent 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 Engineer. 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 provisions within thirty (30) 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.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 84 of 134
The Engineer will review and return to the Contractor, with any comments, the Baseline Construction Schedule within 15 working days of submittal. The Baseline Construction Schedule
will be returned marked as per Sections 6-1.2.10.1 through 6-1.2.10.3. 6-1.2.10.1 “Accepted.” The Contractor may proceed with the project work upon issuance of the
Notice to Proceed and will receive payment for the schedule in accordance with Section 6-1.8.1. 6-1.2.10.2 “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 receipt of payment per Section 6-1.8.1. 6-1.2.10.3 “Not Accepted.” The Contractor must resubmit the schedule incorporating the corrections and changes of the comments prior to receipt of payment per Section 6-1.8.1. 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 considered 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 hereinbefore and marked “Accepted” by the Engineer. 6-1.3 Preparation of Schedule Updates and Revisions. The Contractor shall meet with the Engineer during the last week of each month to agree upon each activity’s schedule status and shall submit monthly updates of the Baseline Construction Schedule confirming the agreements no later than the fifth working day of the following month. The monthly update will be submitted on hard (paper) copy and electronic media conforming to Section 6-1.3.3 Electronic Media per
the submittal requirements of Section 2-5.3 and will include each item and element of Sections 6-1.2 through 6-1.2.9 and 6-1.3.1 through 6-1.3.7. 6-1.3.1 Actual Activity Dates. The actual dates each activity was started and/or completed during the month. After first reporting an actual date, the Contractor shall not change that actual date in later updates without specific notification to the Engineer with the update. 6-1.3.2 Activity Percent Complete. For each activity underway at the end of the month, the Contractor shall report the percentage determined by the Engineer as complete for the activity. 6-1.3.3 Electronic Media. The schedule data disk shall be a CD-ROM, labeled with the project name and number, the Contractor’s name and the date of preparation of the schedule data disk. The schedule data disk shall be readable by the software specified in Section 6-1.2.4 “Schedule Software” and shall be free of file locking, encryption or any other protocol that would impede full
access of all data stored on it. 6-1.3.4 List of Changes. A list of all changes made to the activities or to the interconnecting logic, with an explanation for each change. 6-1.3.5 Change Orders. Each monthly update will include the addition of the network revisions
reflecting the change orders approved in the previous month. The network revisions will be as agreed upon during the review and acceptance of the Contractor’s change orders. 6-1.3.6 Bar Chart. Each monthly update will include a chart showing individual tasks and their durations arranged with the tasks on the vertical axis and duration on the horizontal axis. The bar chart shall use differing texture patterns or distinctive line types to show the critical path.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 85 of 134
6-1.4 Engineer’s Review of Updated Construction Schedule. The Engineer will review and return the Updated Construction Schedule to the Contractor, with any comments, within 5 working
days of submittal. The Updated Construction Schedule will be returned marked as per Sections 6-1.4.1 through 6-1.4.3. Any Updated Construction Schedule marked “Accepted with Comments” or “Not Accepted” by the Engineer will be returned to the Contractor for correction. Upon
resubmittal the Engineer will review and return the resubmitted Updated Construction Schedule to the Contractor, with any comments, within 5 working days. Failure of the Contractor to submit a monthly updated construction schedule will invoke the same consequences as the Engineer
returning a monthly updated construction schedule marked “Not Accepted”. 6-1.4.1 “Accepted.” The Contractor may proceed with the project work and will receive payment for the schedule in accordance with Section 6-1.8.2. 6-1.4.2 “Accepted with Comments.” The Contractor may proceed with the project work. The
Contractor must resubmit the Updated Construction Schedule to the Engineer incorporating the corrections and changes noted in the Engineer’s comments prior to receipt of payment per Section 6-1.8.2. 6-1.4.3 “Not Accepted.” The Contractor must resubmit the Updated Construction Schedule to the Engineer incorporating the corrections and changes noted in the Engineer’s comments prior to receipt of payment per Section 6-1.8.2. The Contractor, at the sole option of the Engineer, may be considered as having defaulted the contract under the provisions of Section 6-4 DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR if the changes of the comments are not submitted and marked “Accepted” by the Engineer before the last day of the month in which the Updated Construction Schedule is due. If the Contractor fails to submit the corrected Updated Construction Schedule as required herein
the Contractor may elect to proceed with the project at its own risk. Should the Contractor elect not to proceed with the project, any resulting delay, impact, or disruption to the project will be the Contractor’s responsibility.
6-1.5 Late Completion or Milestone Dates. Should the Schedule Update indicate a completion or contractually required milestone date later than the properly adjusted contract or milestone
duration, the Agency may withhold Liquidated Damages for the number of days late. Should a subsequent “Accepted” Schedule Update remove all or a portion of the delay, all or the allocated portion of the previously held Liquidated Damages shall be released in the monthly payment to the Contractor immediately following the “Accepted” schedule. 6-1.6 Interim Revisions. Should the actual or projected progress of the work become substantially different from that depicted in the Project Schedule, independently of and prior to the next monthly update, the Contractor will submit a revised Baseline Construction Schedule, with a
list and explanation of each change made to the schedule. The Revised Construction Schedule will be submitted per the submittal requirements of Section 2-5.3 and per the schedule review and acceptance requirements of Section 6-1, including but not limited to the acceptance and payment provisions. As used in this section “substantially different” means a time variance greater than 5 percent of the number of days of duration for the project. 6-1.7 Final Schedule Update. The Contractor shall prepare and submit a final schedule update when one hundred percent of the construction work is completed. The Contractor’s Final Schedule Update must accurately represent the actual dates for all activities. The final schedule
update shall be prepared and reviewed per Sections 6-1.3 Preparation of Schedule Updates and Revisions and 6-1. 4 Engineer’s Review of Updated Construction Schedule. Acceptance of the
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 86 of 134
final schedule update is required for completion of the project and release of any and all funds retained per Section 9-3.2.
6-1.8 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 therefor. 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 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.
6-2.3 Project Meetings. The Engineer will establish the time and location of Project Meetings whenever necessary. The Contractor’s Representative shall attend each Project Meeting. The Project Representative shall be the individual determined under Section 7-6, “The Contractor’s
Representative”. No separate payment for attendance of the Contractor, the Contractor’s Representative or any other employee or subcontractor or subcontractor’s employee at these meetings will be made.
6-3 SUSPENSION OF WORK.
6-3.1 General. The Work may be suspended in whole or in part when determined by the Engineer that the suspension is necessary in the interest of the Agency. The Contractor shall comply immediately with any written order of the Engineer. Such suspension shall be without liability to the Contractor on the part of the Agency except as otherwise specified in Section 6-6.3. 6-3.2 Archaeological and Paleontological Discoveries. If discovery is made of items of
archaeological or paleontological interest, the Contractor shall immediately cease excavation in the area of discovery and shall not continue until ordered by the Engineer. When resumed, excavation operations within the area of discovery shall be as directed by the Engineer.
Discoveries which may be encountered may include, but not be limited to, dwelling sites, stone implements or other artifacts, animal bones, human bones, and fossils.
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 87 of 134
The Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time and compensation in accordance with the provisions of Section 6-6.
6-4 DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR. If the Contractor fails to begin delivery of material and equipment, to commence the Work within the time specified, to maintain the rate of delivery of material, to execute the Work in the manner and at such locations as specified, or fails to maintain the Work schedule which will insure the Agency’s interest, or, if the Contractor is not carrying out 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 Contractor.
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
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 88 of 134
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 may be further described in the Specifications.
No extension of time will be granted for a delay caused by the Contractor’s inability to obtain materials unless the Contractor furnishes to the Engineer documentary proof. The proof must be provided in a timely manner in accordance with the sequence of the Contractor’s operations and
the approved construction schedule. If delays beyond the Contractor’s control are caused by events other than those mentioned above, the Engineer may deem an extension of time to be in the best interests of the Agency. The Contractor will not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to such delays, except as provided 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
avoided by any reasonable means, such as judicious handling of forces, equipment, or plant. The determination of what damages the Contractor could have avoided will be made by the Engineer. 6-6.4 Written Notice and Report. The Contractor shall provide written notice to the Engineer within two hours of the beginning of any period that the Contractor has placed any workers or equipment on standby for any reason that the Contractor has determined to be caused by the
Agency or by any organization that the Agency may otherwise be obligated by. The Contractor shall provide continuing daily written notice to the Engineer, each working day, throughout the duration of such period of delay. The initial and continuing written notices shall include the classification of each workman and supervisor and the make and model of each piece of equipment placed on standby, the cumulative duration of the standby, the Contractor’s opinion of the cause of the delay and a cogent explanation of why the Contractor could not avoid the delay by reasonable means. Should the Contractor fail to provide the notice(s) required by this section the Contractor agrees that no delay has occurred and that it will not submit any claim(s) therefore.
6-7 TIME OF COMPLETION. 6-7.1 General. Placement of slurry seal and fog seal shall not begin before April 1, 2022 unless Contractor receives written approval from the Engineer. Contractor’s bid costs for placement of slurry seal and fog seal must remain firm from the bid opening date through completion of the Project, excluding increases for work that would otherwise qualify as a Changed Condition (Section 3-4) or Change Order unrelated to the April 1, 2022 date restriction on which placement of slurry seal and fog seal may occur on the Project. The Contractor shall complete the Work within the time set forth in the Contract.

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 one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($1,250) per day is the minimum value of costs and actual damaged caused by the Contractor to complete the Work within the allotted time. Any progress 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-minute increment (or portion of time thereof) beyond the hours of work stated in the Contract Documents or superseded by the approved traffic control plans, the Contractor shall pay to the Agency, or have monies due to it, the sum of one thousand Dollars ($1,000).

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 material. 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.
Temporary pavement delineation shall be removed when, as determined by the Engineer, the temporary pavement delineation conflicts with the permanent pavement delineation or with a new traffic pattern for the area and is no longer required for the direction of public traffic. When temporary 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. If no traffic control plans (TCP) or Traffic Control Staging plans (TCP) are included in the project plans, or if the Contractor elects to modify TCP included in the project plans, the Contractor shall have such new or modified TCP prepared and submitted as a part of the Work for any and all construction activities that are located within the traveled way. The Contractor shall have TCP prepared and submitted 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 Contractor must submit the TCP for the Engineer’s review in conformance with the requirements of Section 2-5.3, et seq. and obtain the Engineer’s approval of the TCP prior to implementing them. The minimum 20-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 the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices latest edition as published by CALTRANS. Such modification, addition, supplement, and/or new design of TCP shall be prepared 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, supplements, and/or new designs to TCP. The Engineer may approve any such modifications, supplements, and/or new designs to the TCP when, in the Engineer’s sole opinion, such modifications, supplements, and/or new designs to the TCP prepared by the registered professional engineer retained by the Contractor will be beneficial to the best interests of the
Agency. Such modification, 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 Engineer. 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. The Contractor shall provide traffic control at the contract lump sum price bid. The contract lump sum price paid for "traffic control" shall include full compensation for furnishing

Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 107 of 134
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 precautions which are the Contractor’s responsibility have not been taken and are not reasonably expected 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 ownership shall remain with the Contractor who shall be obligated to store any fully or partially completed 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 6-10.
Guarantee periods shall not be affected by any payment but shall commence on the date of recordation 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 applicable laws. At the expiration of 35 days from the date of acceptance of the Work by the Board, or as prescribed 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 of these General Provisions. Progress payments shall be made no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the closure date. Five (5) working days following the closure date, the Engineer shall complete
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 108 of 134
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 Contractor shall within ten (10)
days of receipt of the progress estimate, submit a supplemental payment 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 conformance 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, 5 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 remaining progress estimates and from the final estimate may be limited to $500 or 5 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 liquidated damages under 6-9.
As provided in Section 22300 of the California Public Contract Code, the Contractor may substitute 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 corresponding 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 contract bid items and change order items. If the Contractor submits a written statement with documentation in the aforementioned time, the
Engineer will review the disputed item within 30 calendar days and make any appropriate adjustments on the Final Payment. Remaining disputed quantities or amounts not approved by the Engineer will be subject to resolution as specified in Section 3-5, Disputed Work.
The written statement filed by the Contractor shall be in sufficient detail to enable the Engineer to ascertain the basis and amount of said disputed items. The Engineer will consider the merits of
Revised 6/15/2017 Contract No. 6001-21SS Page 109 of 134
the Contractor’s claims. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to furnish within a reasonable time such further information and details as may be required by the Engineer to determine the
facts or contentions involved in its claims. Failure to submit such information and details will be sufficient cause for denying payment for the disputed items. 9-3.2.1 Payment for Claims. Except for those final payment items disputed in the written statement required in Section 9-3.2 all claims of any dollar amount shall be submitted in a written statement by the Contractor no later than the date of receipt of the final payment estimate. Those
final payment items disputed in the written statement required in Section 9-3.2 shall be submitted no later than 30 days after receipt of the Final Payment estimate. No claim will be considered that was not included in this written statement, nor will any claim be allowed for which written notice or protest is required under any provision of this contract including Sections 3-4 Changed Conditions, 3-5 Disputed Work, 6-6.3 Payment for Delays to Contractor, 6-6.4 Written Notice and Report, or 6-7.3 Contract Time Accounting, unless the Contractor has complied with notice or
protest requirements. The claims filed by the Contractor shall be in sufficient detail to enable the Engineer to ascertain the basis and amount of said claims. The Engineer will consider and determine the Contractor’s claims and it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to furnish within a reasonable time such further information and details as may be required by the Engineer to determine the facts or contentions involved in its claims. Failure to submit such information and details will be sufficient cause for denying the claims. Payment for claims shall be processed within 30 calendar days of their resolution for those claims approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall proceed with informal dispute resolution under
Section 3-5, Disputed Work, for those claims remaining in dispute. 9-3.3 Delivered Materials. When provided for in the Specifications, and subject to the limitation
and conditions therein, the cost of materials and equipment delivered but not incorporated into the Work will be included in the progress estimate. 9-3.3.1 Delivered Materials. The cost of materials and equipment delivered but not incorporated into the work will not be included in the progress estimate. 9-3.4.1 Mobilization and Preparatory Work.

As part of the City of Carlsbad’s ongoing program to maintain our roadways, streets in your neighborhood are scheduled for resurfacing in the coming weeks. The resurfacing work will
require traffic control to be put in place in those areas. The work will take place between the hours
of 8:30 a.m. and approximately 3:30 p.m., or until the traffic control devices are removed.
Residents located on the streets scheduled for resurfacing will be notified 72 hours in advance of
the work. Look for a brightly colored 3 ½” x 8 ½” card attached to your doorknob. You will also notice temporary “no parking” signs on your street with a specific “no parking” date written on it.
PLEASE NOTE: weather conditions and other factors outside our control can sometimes cause work to be rescheduled at the last minute. If this happens, we will notify you as soon as possible
of the new date. To prepare for this road work, we are asking neighbors to help. Here’s how:
• Park your car outside the area of work unless you plan to leave before 8 a.m. the morning
the work starts. Watch for “no parking” signs.
• Park your car in your driveway or garage (off the street) if you aren’t going to need it
between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
• Avoid walking, biking and skateboarding on new roads until construction signs are
removed.
• Please keep kids and pets off the new roadway on the day of the resurfacing.
• Do not walk on the newly resurfaced street or you may get black residue on the bottom of your shoes. The residue may damage or mark surfaces and be very difficult to remove.
• Please try to keep the work area and new road dry until construction signs are removed. Monitor sprinklers, hoses and other water sources around your home.
• Please note that mail could be delayed on the day of the resurfacing if your postal carrier
cannot reach your mailbox.
• Work will be coordinated with trash pick-up.
• If you have a special concern or need reasonable accommodations, please call the City
