Approval of the Plans and Specifications, Authorization to Advertise for
Bids, and Authorization of Additional Appropriation for the Carlsbad
Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements Project
1
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the plans and specifications, authorizing the City Clerk to
advertise for bids and authorizing additional appropriation of $113,700 from the Gas Tax Fund
for the Carlsbad Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements Project, Capital Improvement Program
Project No. 6097.
Executive Summary
The Carlsbad Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements Project will enhance six uncontrolled
crosswalks on Carlsbad Boulevard that currently have existing rectangular rapid-flashing
beacons systems. The proposed improvements will include:
• High-visibility crosswalk markings
• In-pavement flashing lights
• Curb extensions
• Green bicycle lane markers where needed
To help offset the construction cost of the project, staff submitted two applications to the
California Department of Transportation for $591,600 in Highway Safety Improvement Program
funds in October 2020. On March 30, 2021, staff were notified that the city has been selected
for the improvement funds in the requested amount.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.080(E) requires the City Council’s approval of the plans
and specifications for all construction projects that are to be formally bid when the value
exceeds $200,000, a limit established by California Public Contract Code Section 22032(c). The
construction cost for this project is estimated to be $581,131, not including construction
contingency and construction management costs, making it subject to this requirement.
Staff recommend the City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize the City
Clerk to advertise for bids for the project. Upon receiving City Council approval, staff will submit
a funding allocation request to Caltrans for the awarded funds in the amount of $591,600.

Discussion
On Sept. 24, 2019, staff presented to the City
Council a proposed action to address traffic-
calming concerns on Carlsbad Boulevard,
College Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue. Staff
proposed the Carlsbad Boulevard Pedestrian
Improvements Project to enhance pedestrian
safety at six existing uncontrolled crosswalks on
Carlsbad Boulevard, at Oak Avenue, Sycamore
Avenue, Maple Avenue, Cherry Avenue,
Hemlock Avenue and at the Army and Navy
Academy (between Mountain View Drive and
Cypress Avenue), which currently have existing
rapid flashing beacons.
The proposed improvements at these crosswalks include adding:
•In-pavement flashing lights to augment the existing rectangular rapid-flashing beacons
systems
•High-visibility crosswalk markings
•Curb extensions (where feasible)
•Green bike lane markings in areas where bicycle and vehicle traffic can conflict
In October 2020, the City Manager approved staff’s request to pursue a grant opportunity
through the Highway Safety Improvement Program in the amount of $591,600 for construction
of the project.
The safety program is designed to help reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public
roadways. It requires a data-driven and strategic approach to improving safety on public
roadways with a focus on performance. The current round of funding has approximately $220
million available for California, which Caltrans distributes on a competitive basis.
All such improvement project applications are ranked by a benefit-cost ratio, calculated using
collision data and estimated project cost of the proven safety countermeasures to be
implemented at the targeted roadways. Projects with higher benefit-cost ratios are awarded
the funds. A local funding match is not required for pedestrian crossing improvement projects.
The city was notified on March 30, 2021, that it had been selected to receive the requested
amount of $591,600. Staff are required to submit a funding allocation request to Caltrans
before starting any reimbursable project work, in this case, the construction of the project.
Traffic and Mobility Commission recommendation
On April 5, 2021, staff presented the project to the Traffic and Mobility Commission for its
support. With a vote of 6-0-1 (Commissioner Penseyres abstained), the commission supported
staff’s recommendation. Exhibit 3 is the approved minutes from that meeting.

Motion carried: 5/0/2 (Abstained: Perez and Wanamaker)
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA:
1.Julie Wertz - My biggest concern is our streets and curbs not painted in universal traffic laws.
The Mayor has been pushing development and traffic seems to be having a difficult time keeping up
with the developers. Carlsbad is a HUGE tourist destination and if we do not have our traffic laws
indicated our police will be overwhelmed. We need our traffic signage to be understood by everyone
from all over the US and International tourists. Specifically painting curbs no parking zone on the street.
Signage is not enough. (especially if English is not your first language.)
-Curbs need to be painted no parking zones. (specifically, East and West sides of Tamarack by Vigilucci’s)
-Schools ZONES need to be painted on the pavement in BRIGHT YELLOW with Speed limits with flashing
cross walks. (Jefferson Elementary)
-STOP BARS are lights in front of cross walks. We cannot just use a painted crosswalk as a STOP LINE.
(intersection at Vons, & 2 gas stations on Tamarack)
-Protected bike lanes painted Green (like in Germany, and Encinitas)
-Taking the 101 into a single lane, slowing traffic, expanding E-bike lane, Bike Lane, Running Lane,
Walking lane.
As you can see painting the Interstate 5 sign on the street for on ramp and off ramp on Palomar Airport
Road has been a great success.
Europe has long had this type of traffic indicators and it’s great to see we are catching up.
DISCUSSION:
Traffic Engineer Kim stated that staff will continue to follow up with non-agenda public comments.

DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS:
1. POLICE MONTHLY REPORT – (Staff Contact: Lt. Steve Thomas, Police Department)
Lieutenant Thomas presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the
Office of the City Clerk).
DISCUSSION:
Lieutenant Thomas presented that they continue to enforce e-bike safety and education as it is a priority
for the traffic division. They have written a significant number of warning citations to e-bikes riders who
are riding on the wrong side of the road and juveniles not wearing helmets.
The Stop the Asian Hate March took place on March 21, 2021. Due to an uncertain amount of people
attending the march and as the group became larger, it was decided to close the southbound lanes of
Carlsbad Boulevard for about 25 minutes due to safety concerns.
Carlsbad High Schools and Middle Schools opened on March 29, 2021. The motorcycle officers are back
to traffic enforcement and added extra patrols at the schools during the arrival and departure
timeframes. They have noticed significantly more e-bikes traveling to school.
To follow up on the Commission’s previous questions about e-bike rules for kids, anyone under the age
of 18 must wear a helmet. Class III e-bikes have a minimum age of 16. Commissioner Penseyres wanted
to confirm that the e-bike riders have been pulled over for a violation like riding against traffic or on the
sidewalks.
Lieutenant Thomas mentioned that they also pull them over for running a red light, or just being
dangerous on the bikes, as opposed to guessing their age.
Chair Gocan mentioned that the city is working with the school district and the Police Department to get
e-bike specific training and education in the schools. We will be working with the schools over the
summer when they are less busy to set up the bike training and education.
Vice Chair Perez inquired if we are seeing more e-bike riders without helmets.
Lieutenant Thomas said that most of the issues have been unsafe biking not necessarily kids without
helmets. We receive calls about bikes and pedestrians on the sidewalks, but they have not seen any
collisions. They have not heard any traffic issues associated with meal pick up for the kids doing distance
learning and will inquire if there have been any concerns.
Commissioner Linke asked if it was legal to have somebody on the back of the e-bike and what can we
do about excessive speeds down the hills.
Lieutenant Thomas will look into the rules for passengers sitting on the back of the e-bikes. As for the
speeds down the hills, they will continue enforcement of the speed and education for kids under 18 on
e-bike speed limits.
Commissioner Penseyres mentioned that bike education classes are being offered every month and
asked if the bike education cards are still being passed out by the motorcycle officers to bike riders to
give them a warning instead of a citation.
Lieutenant Thomas stated that Lieutenant Calderwood started the bike education awareness program
and he will confirm with her if it is still active. Lately, with the increased enforcement and have been
giving more tickets instead of warnings.

City Traffic Engineer Kim inquired if the bike classes are tailored to e-bikes and if there has been an
increase in e-bike users in the classes.
Commission Penseyres said that they teach bike safety to all types of bikes, including where they can be
ridden.
2. LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN STAKEHOLDER GROUP– (Staff Contact: John Kim and Miriam Jim,
Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Select two commissioners to serve on the project stakeholder group
Senior Engineer Jim presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the
Office of the City Clerk).
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Linke shared that there are seven schools outside of the Carlsbad Unified School District
in Carlsbad. Six elementary schools: four schools are in the Encinitas Union and two schools in San
Marcos. One high school in San Dieguito Union School District. As stated in his comments on the
Sustainable Mobility Plan and Safe Routes to Schools, that we incorporate them at some point in the
process.
ACTION:
Motion by Commissioner Hunter, seconded by Commissioner Linke to elect Commissioner Penseyres and
Commissioner Fowler to serve as part of the Local Roadway Safety Plan Stakeholder Group and elected
Vice-Chair Perez and Commissioner Linke as alternates.
Motion carried: 7/0
3. CARLSBAD BOULEVARD PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT - (Staff Contact: John Kim and Miriam Jim, Public
Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Support staff recommendation
Senior Engineer Jim presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the
Office of the City Clerk).
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEM 3:
1. Simon Freedman - This email is submitted on behalf of the Carlsbad My Gen Branch of the Sierra
Club. We have reviewed the proposed Pedestrian improvements in staff’s memo of 4/5/21 and note
green striping on Carlsbad Boulevard north of Grand Street. We think this is a good step towards
improving Bike safety. However, we also believe the green striping should continue both sides of the
intersection.
In order to implement the goals of the Sustainability Plan and Traffic Demand Management and to
improve biker safety we believe it imperative that this pattern of green striping be continued south of
Grand Ave. on Carlsbad Boulevard down to Poinsettia in the manner indicated on the proposals we
previously submitted. We have also proposed signage be installed at some of these intersections.
There has been an explosion in the sale of e-bikes, and we believe that if Carlsbad Boulevard is made
more bike friendly along its entire length this will encourage many more people to get out on their
Dec. 7, 2021 Item #8 Page 10 of 20
Page 4 of 12 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
bikes. This in turn will help to reduce single occupancy car trips, reduce Green House Gas production,
and improve the health of Carlsbad’s residents. The major goal here is to provide a bright demonstrative
display at intersections that will encourage residents to get out on their bikes or e-bikes. This will have a
ripple effect as more and more people see residents out on their bikes, they too will be encouraged to
get on their bikes.
We urge the Commission to make this a priority and to set a goal to have all intersections discussed in
our proposals restricted/painted green and signed by the end of this year. We believe this is entirely
doable as we are simply asking for an application of paint and installation of signage in all instances. No
engineering studies should be required. Thank you.
2. Judy Frankel - It seems you may have missed BikeWalk Carlsbad at a stakeholder in the city that
has input from the cycling community here.
With regard to green striping through an intersection. How is this in accordance with the MUTCD to put
a bike lane through an intersection? Please show where this occurs in the MUTCD.
Dashed striping is done within 200 feet of an intersection to show where the merge zone is for a
motorist to merge into the bike lane before an intersection in order to make a turn from the right edge
of the road as is required by law.
It also makes it clear to cyclists that the bike lane is ended at the intersection and they are passing
through an intersection where a motorist may make a right turn. And, if they are behind the motorist
making a turn to move out into the travel lane to pass on the left.
Putting a bike lane through an intersection is a hazard. It is unclear to motorist and cyclists. Motorists
should be moving to the right to make the turn well before the intersection and should not be turning
across the bike lane from the travel lane. That is equivalent to making a right turn from the left lane.
Cyclists should be prepared to merge into the travel lane to pass right turning motorists and to be more
visible to left turning motorists coming toward them and who are turning across their path so as not to
be hidden by a line of cars to their left.
A cyclist was killed in Encinitas on Leucadia Blvd where striping remained through an intersection at
Moonstone drive. A truck turned right into the cyclist who was thinking he was safe in the bike lane not
aware there was an intersection. This striping was left in error and was removed after the death.
Thank you for your attention and clarification
3. Mary Hassing - Commission members and staff, regarding bike safety lanes, I am pleased to see
green striping will be added on Carlsbad Boulevard north of Grand Street, according to the staff’s memo
on proposed pedestrian improvements. I am disappointed however that the striping will not continue
south to Poinsettia and will not be on both sides of the street.
I had hoped Carlsbad would prioritize safe bike lanes as Encinitas and Solana Beach have done. With the
increase in biking this last year, especially families on e-bikes, it is imperative that we do all we can to
keep cyclists safe. The green striping is a strong, effective signal to drivers to watch for bikes and give
them space. And, the bright striping encourages residents who are hesitant to ride our streets to get out
on their bikes and leave their cars at home.
I ask you to reconsider the limited proposal and move more swiftly in making Carlsbad a truly bike-
friendly city.
DISCUSSION:
Dec. 7, 2021 Item #8 Page 11 of 20

Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
Commissioner Penseyres expressed his concerns based on his observations at the Army/Navy Academy
location. He believes that is the most difficult of the crossings, especially southbound as the empty
spaces are inviting to motorists and motorcycles when traffic backs up. He does not believe that the
green paint applied to the conflict zones will stop vehicles from moving over into the bike lane. As
mentioned earlier, drivers will do almost anything to avoid hitting a cyclist, if they recognize them or if
they see them. The further the bicyclist is to the right the more they drop off the drivers field of view. If
people want to stay in the bike lane, then proceed onto the dashed green conflict zone, it is going to be
the cyclist responsibility to look back to negotiate with the drivers through the intersection.
Commissioner Penseyres recommendation is to provide the green paint along the straightest path
through the crossing so that the drivers have to do the yield to cyclists, rather than the cyclists yielding
to vehicle.
Commissioner Penseyres inquired about the reason for extending the curb extension areas on both
sides of the sidewalk. All the legal traffic is coming from the left so what good does it do to provide the
extra concrete which removes a parking space or two. The other question is about coming to the center
of the crosswalk. The existing crossing distance for pedestrians is long, and the drivers after stopping at
the diagonal crossing at Grand Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive, are anxious to make up time and you
can see them speeding on the northbound side versus the southbound side. In Solana Beach when the
pedestrians come to the center median, they angle it to the right, that way the pedestrians are facing
the oncoming traffic. Further south, you do not have a lot of options based on space. You might be able
to preserve a parking space, if you can reduce the length of the bulb out on the right side.
City Traffic Engineer Kim responded that the dashed green bike lane that highlights the southbound
conflict area could be widened to form a continuous edge stripe between the buffer and the beginning
of the bike lane approaching Cypress Avenue. As to the extended concrete areas we could modify at
least the downstream side to account for the loss in parking and not have that 45-degree cut out that
would enter into the parking.
Rick Engineering Consultant Jugar mentioned that they will look into the suggestions taking into account
the utilities, draining, and the bench that sits close to the street. Preserving the parking space is a high
priority.
Transportation Director Frank mentioned that we want to consider the staging area for the crossing so
that we don’t have an abrupt curb extension. We also need to consider the approach to the crossing.
Pedestrians don’t like to walk, then turn a 90-degree angle, they like to take the shortest and straightest
path possible. Adding the concrete out on the street is the best way to change driver behavior
specifically, speeding behavior. Our team hear the comments and will consider them to make sure it is
as comfortable experience for the pedestrians crossing as well.
Commissioner Penseyres offered that you could consider sliding the concrete upstream instead of on
both sides. City Traffic Engineer Kim agreed that would be a consideration when they look at
reconfiguring the curb extensions. The suggestion about the jog in the pedestrian path in the median is a
good suggestion for this location, but it is not a part of the scope of the project, as it would add too
much in terms of cost since it would require new pedestrian ramps.
Vice-Chair Perez inquired if we have overlapping projects on Sycamore, Maple and Cherry and Hemlock
Avenues on Carlsbad Boulevard. City Traffic Engineer Kim mentioned there is a project for sidewalk
improvements on the southbound side on the west side; they are in coordination with the project
manager.
City Traffic Engineer Kim mentioned that the dashed bike lane approaching the intersection is what we
have been doing and is going to remain unchanged for this project. The proposed dash green bike lane
Dec. 7, 2021 Item #8 Page 12 of 20

going through the intersection is not described in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CA MUTCD) or expressly prohibited either. We selected this strategy from the Urban Bikeway
Design Guide, which is prepared by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO).
The CA MUTCD supports usage of the Urban Bikeway Guide Design. The proposed treatment can be
found on pages 58 and 59 of the NACTO guide.
Transportation Director Frank wanted to clarify that we are not striping a bike lane through an
intersection, which is different than the conditions where the fatal traffic collision occurred in Leucadia.
Our approach is to highlight the transition and conflict areas with dashed green paint to further
emphasize the conflict zone to drivers. The right turn hook is a serious concern and there are varying
opinions on the best way to treat that issue. We are open to suggestions via a public meeting, like we
are doing now. We do not plan on painting green paint through all our bike lanes for several reasons;
first is the cost and the second is its effectiveness to alert drivers of a conflict area. The primary point is
that we are not creating a bike lane through an intersection.
Commissioner Linke inquired about the pros and cons of green paint both before and after an
intersection, and to the signage suggestion.
Traffic Engineer Kim feels both uses of green paint are valid accepted, and approved by the CA MUTCD.
Adding green paint beyond these intersections is not in the scope of this project. We have elected to
show green paint and dash green paint up to and after the intersection when needed to visibly show the
conflict areas.
ACTION:
Motion by Commissioner Hunter, seconded by Commissioner Linke to support staff’s recommendation to
implement the proposed traffic calming improvements at six uncontrolled crosswalks on Carlsbad
Boulevard, at the Army/Navy Academy (between Mountain View Drive and Cypress Avenue), Oak Avenue,
Sycamore Avenue, Maple Avenue, Cherry Avenue and Hemlock Avenue.
Motion carried: 6/0/1 (Abstained: Penseyres)
4. FARADAY AVENUE AND PALMER WAY INTERSECTION CONTROL EVALUATION - (Staff Contact: Edd
Alberto and John Kim, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Support staff recommendation
Associate Engineer Alberto presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in
the Office of the City Clerk).
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Wanamaker asked if there is any history or ability to put a rumble strip around those
proposed warning devices or a road hump. It is going to be hard to get around the excessive speed
happening when drivers are trying to make the green light.
City Traffic Engineer Kim stated that rumble strips are not included in the traffic calming features in
Carlsbad due to concerns about the noise it generates.
Chair Gocan would like to revisit the signage solution, if it is approved, to see if it is effective enough to
satisfy the safety at that intersection.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that we can evaluate the signage to see if it was effective.

Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
Commissioner Penseyres inquired about the possibility to measure the traffic speed after the installation
of the signs. Could the installation of the signs allow you to reduce the speed limit to 35 miles per hour?
City Traffic Engineer Kim responded that they would have to find the existing speed surveys for that
roadway segment and compare with the new speed survey to determine if the signage was effective on
that location. Staff will determine if the added signage is a significant change to warrant a change in the
posted speed limit. They are always looking for opportunities to lower the speed limit based on their
speed surveys.
Commissioner Penseyres is hoping we can reduce the speed limit since most of the causes of severe
crashes occurred due to excessive speeds, and to make it a little bit easier for the police to enforce the
speed limit. He inquired if we could install radar feedback signs to help post their speed limit.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that he is not considering that solution at this point, but it could be a
recommendation, if the proposed signage is not effective. This presentation recommendation is based
on the specific request for a traffic signal; therefore, they did these studies to determine whether or not
a traffic signal would be appropriate, and they included an evaluation of a possible roundabout.
Unfortunately, both proposed improvements were not recommended.
Commissioner Penseyres wanted to ask about the congestion with respect to the fact that we have set
right turn lanes, left turn only lanes, and observed that we had to squeeze the bike lane out of the
picture. It is not very comfortable for the cyclists in the sharrows with a speed of 40 miles per hour. Is
there any future plan to get more right of way for this street?
City Traffic Engineer Kim noted the apparent lack of right of way on this portion of Faraday Avenue but
would discuss with the transportation engineering group to see if there is any opportunity to widen the
street.
Commissioner Linke is very concerned that if we have a traffic consultant telling us that people are
typically speeding there, that just adding the proposed signage is not sufficient. The second most
frequent concern is the left turns. There have been several failures to stop or yield by drivers that were
taking left turns. The traffic consultant said that there were several unsafe maneuvers into the driveway
to the south. Finally, in 2014-2015 when staff was developing the street typologies, they decided to
identify the typology for Faraday Avenue as a transit/employment street. This does not put vehicles as a
prioritized mode of travel. The priority is on pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. He did not agree with
that typology now or at the time it was approved.
Transportation Director Frank greatly appreciates the comments as that is the purpose of the
commission. We will take a look at the existing conditions to determine any opportunity to further
implement bike lanes through these segments, and the westbound traffic speeds with further analyzing
the problem movements. He recommends the implementation of the signs and then do further study
based on the issues you brought up during your comments. They will review any changes in traffic
operation with the new signs and report back to the commission within a year.
Commissioner Linke wanted to point out that after looking at the traffic consultant report that 99.7% of
the traffic is currently vehicles, yet it is prioritized for bicycles and pedestrians, with less than one
boarding per day at the transit stops. We will have a lot of work to do there, which is near a new city
facility.
Vice-Chair Perez wants to make sure that we come back to this area to review since this area is growing.

Staff’s Recommendation: Support staff recommendation
Associate Engineer Pham presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in
the Office of the City Clerk).
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEM 5:
1. Jodi Breton - I have lived on Saddle drive for 21 years. On behalf of my family, neighbors, and
our visitors, we greatly appreciate your attention to this matter.
The pandemic has brought a surge of visitors to Calavera Mountain and created a new hazard to those
of us living on Saddle Dr. Typically on a nice day, visitors will park all the way from the stop sign at
Strata, to the corner of Tamarack and Saddle Dr, completely blocking the view of drivers trying to exit
Saddle, to go left towards College. Much of this area is clearly marked as “No Parking”. This forces
drivers, exiting Saddle to creep out into the middle of the intersection to view oncoming, right side
traffic, prior to turning left. Because traffic heading into Calavera from College cannot see Saddle Dr
until shortly before approaching it, drivers leaving Saddle are extremely vulnerable to being hit from
traffic from the left while trying to clear the intersection. Further exasperating the danger, drivers
coming into Calavera often speed down Tamarack as they approach Saddle. Most residents of our
street have had near misses exiting our street because of the lack of visibility.
On extremely heavy days, visitors will even park to the left of Saddle as well, making it impossible to see
in either direction. Despite the obvious “No Parking” signs, on BOTH sides, people ignore the signs and
park right next to them. While drivers in higher profile vehicles have a small advantage exiting Saddle,
those in low profile vehicles have zero visibility. Most of the teenagers on our street, and there are
many, drive low to lower profile cars. Teenagers tend to be less cautious and lack the experience to
properly judge the danger of exiting a street blindly. This truly is a tragedy waiting to happen and it’s
completely unnecessary.
Simply ticketing the cars is of no real value as there are hundreds of visitors, coming from numerous
locations every week, who have no idea someone was ticketed the week before or even that
morning. Having a dedicated traffic officer is fiscally unworkable as well. What we are asking for is a red
curb line or some other obvious markings or barrier, that make it extremely difficult to either physically
or negligently, park there.
Calavera Mountain is an amazing asset for Carlsbad, and we want everyone to enjoy it as much as we
do. We just don’t want to get a phone call one day that someone we love, has been in a completely
preventable car accident in this intersection.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this situation.
2. Judy Frankel - With regard to restriping Tamarack by Saddle to add more parking. I am a resident
that reported motorists parking in the bike lane. To say that this requires you to make more parking
spaces is very surprising! There is plenty of parking. When we notified you of the parking in the bike
lane there was still more parking available in the spaces already allotted for parking. As well as some in
the residential neighborhood where parking is legal.

The problem there is that is it just not obvious that it is a bike lane. There are not enough no parking
signs or bike lane stencils and because there is parking in front of them they think it is part of the
parking lane. When one does it by accident the rest follow. The curb needs to be painted red.
Usually most of the cars stopped in the bike lane were parents waiting for their kids to come out of the
middle and elementary school. You do nothing about motorists parking in bike lanes at the other end of
Tamarack at the front entrance to the school.
I am there almost daily either biking, walking or running from my home to the trails and I have never
seen any policing there.
In any case with regard to striping a six-foot bike lane in the door zone of parked cars am dumbfounded
that something so dangerous is being proposed in Carlsbad. We were promised that door zone bike
lanes would not be added. Knowledgeable cyclists already know better than to ride in the one you have
already added there closer to the trail head.
This is a residential street. It is also the back side of the middle school with many children riding their
bikes in a school zone. Parents are waiting in their cars in the neighborhood for kids to exit the
school. There is a back path from the school into that neighborhood onto Strata Drive. It is also used for
kids and adults riding to the trails and further to Lake Blvd through the neighborhood pedestrian pass
through for commuting.
The new parking and bike lane striping would be at the base of a long steep descent where unsuspecting
innocents on bikes are capable of riding downhill at great speed and can be killed by being led into the
door zone of parked cars where a driver or child passenger may open a door into their path without the
possibility of stopping in time. Or, they could swerve out to avoid without notice into a motorist next to
them in the travel lane.
This is a low speed residential neighborhood in a school zone. If you absolutely feel parking is necessary,
then a better option would be to add a wider parking zone and use sharrows. Sharrows would also act
as Traffic Calming. It is a very low motor traffic street as well as a slow speed neighborhood. Cyclists
should not be shoehorned into a narrow space between parked cars and passing vehicles that can’t give
the legal 3 feet of passing distance. A cyclist needs to be 5 feet out of the door zone to be safe and there
should be a door zone buffer.
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Wanamaker asked if staff is getting pushback from having parking at all on Tamarack
Avenue.
City Traffic Engineer Kim answered that the issue is that more people are coming to the trail head and
because Lieutenant Thomas reported people are illegally parking. To alleviate the parking issues, we are
proposing more parking on Tamarack Avenue.
Chair Gocan inquired about drivers coming out of the side streets on to Tamarack Avenue, based on the
public comment, if the visibility is affected by the parked cars.
Associate Engineer Pham said that staff conduct a site distance evaluation and provide red curb if there is
any sight distance issue.
Commissioner Penseyres asked if the two-foot buffer is consistent with what is already there or are we
going to squeeze even more space from the existing parking area.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said we are looking at making it consistent through the entire area.
Commissioner Penseyres asked if it was possible to reduce the travel lane to nine and a half feet so that
you can provide a three-foot buffer.

Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
City Traffic Engineer Kim recommends reducing the parking space to seven feet and increasing the bike
buffer to three feet.
Vice-Chair Perez inquired about the change in parking in relationship to the school. Commissioner Hunter
felt that the parking is there to keep people from going into the neighborhoods to park.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that the new parking is not closer to the school than the existing parking,
therefore it should not affect the school patterns.
Vice-Chair Perez expressed concerns about kids crossing the road at this location.
ACTION:
Motion by Commissioner Linke, seconded by Commissioner Hunter to support staff recommendation on
the proposed restriping of Tamarack Avenue to accommodate on-street parking from Saddle Drive to
Knollwood Drive and recommended to change the bike lane from six feet wide to five feet wide in each
direction, to reduce the parking lane to seven feet wide, and to incorporate a three-foot buffer between
the parking and bike lane.
Motion carried: 6/1 (No: Perez – He has concerns about kids going across the road).
6. FISCAL YEAR 2019-20 GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN/GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT
CIRCULATION SECTION: ROADWAY LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS - (Staff Contact: Nathan Schmidt and
Tom Frank Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Support staff recommendation
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 mentioned that due to the huge traffic volume reductions due to COVID-19, there is
not a lot to discuss. There was a really comprehensive collection of data that is completely skewed by
COVID-19. One question about the timing of the data collection, with COVID-19 rules opening up would it
be best to postpone the traffic counts for the FY2021-22 counts to later in the year versus in May when
they have typically been collected. Also, why is there a significant difference in the intersection LOS at El
Camino Real and Faraday Avenue in the Faraday Avenue traffic study included in agenda item 4, in
comparison to the facility level of service in this agenda item 6.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said that staff will consider postponing the traffic
counts for the FY 2021-22 GMP Monitoring analysis to September and can look into the details of the
intersection level of service analysis comparison between the facility and intersection LOS and report back
to the commission.
Commissioner Linke inquired about the rules that are applied to the collection of data based on the
November 2020 meeting. He heard that the data collection methods are going to be incorporated directly
into the TIA guidelines and when will the TIA Guidelines Ad-hoc Committee be meeting to review this.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt confirmed that the data collection methods will
be incorporated in the TIA Guidelines and the committee will be meeting either late April or early May.
Staff is working on the first draft of the TIA Guidelines update.
Commissioner Linke mentioned that he still does not agree with the TIA Guidelines flow chart where you
trigger the more detailed analysis when the level of services reaches level of service D. Several of our

streets jump from level C to level F, like El Camino Real in certain regions and needs to be changed in the
TIA Guidelines.
ACTION:
Motion by Commissioner Hunter, seconded by Commissioner Linke to support staff recommendation to
City Council to receive and file the attached Growth Management Plan (GMP)/General Plan Annual

CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER REPORT:
City Traffic Engineer Comments: Attachment A
TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Commissioner Fowler noticed that the pedestrian light on Pine Avenue at Carlsbad Blvd is set back from
the crosswalk and hard to see if a big car is blocking it. He was wondering if it would be useful or relevant
to move the pedestrian light closer to the main road.
Commissioner Linke wanted to raise visibility again on the Grand Promenade project in the Village to make
it a one-way street, to make it friendly for pedestrians and bicyclists. This project was mentioned in March
2019 by a gentleman named Robert Wilkinson and the T&MC voted to have him give a presentation.
Last month Mr. Wilkinson sent another letter requesting some visibility on this project. This project is
listed in the Village and Barrio Master Plan and during the City Council’s goal setting session, that project
was highlighted. He is interested in getting an update on the status.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said that we provide an update on the status of
the Village and Barrio Master Plan projects and will either provide an update at the next TMC meeting or
will work with Mr. Wilkerson to get some ideas in front of the Traffic and Mobility Commission.
Vice-Chair Perez complimented staff on the usefulness of the Carlsbad Connect APP and the response
time to it. He did notice that some of the locations, when they click on it, show up as Oceanside and not
Carlsbad.
Chair Gocan first comment is on the angled parking on State Street. Is there a restriction on the length of
vehicles that can park in those parking spaces and if a sign can be generated? When there is a large truck
parked in angle it blocks traffic and makes it hard to go around them. The second comment has to do with
events or items happening near a neighborhood. Can the city notify the residents within a certain radius,
of a specific item on an agenda so that they can be aware of it and if interested, attend the meeting? This
is a great way of getting people involved providing feedback.
Transportation Director Frank thinks that the second comment is an excellent suggestion. We will talk to
our City Clerk’s Office about how we currently notice our projects and consider your suggestion.

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.
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 12 of 113
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. 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.
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 13 of 113
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. The faithful performance/warranty bond will be reduced to 25 percent of the original amount 30 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion and will remain in full force and effect for the one year warranty period and until all warranty repairs are completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The bonds to secure payment of laborers and materials suppliers shall be released six months plus 30 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion if all claims have been paid. All bonds are to be placed with a surety insurance carrier admitted and authorized to transact the business of insurance in California and whose assets exceed their liabilities in an amount equal to or in excess of the amount of the bond. The bonds are to contain the following documents: 1) An original, or a certified copy, of the unrevoked 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.

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 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 26 of 113
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.
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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 27 of 113
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. 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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 28 of 113
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.
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 29 of 113
The report shall:
1. Show names of workers, classifications, and hours worked. 2. Describe and list quantities of materials used. 3. Show type of equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and transportation, if applicable. 4. Describe other services and expenditures in such detail as the Agency may require. 3-4 CHANGED CONDITIONS. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer of the following Work site conditions (hereinafter called changed conditions), in writing, upon their
discovery and before they are disturbed: 1. Subsurface or latent physical conditions differing materially from those represented in
the Contract; 2. Unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature differing materially from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character being performed; and 3. Material differing from that represented in the Contract which the Contractor believes may be hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class 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.

(2) (A) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days
for settlement of the dispute. (B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity shall provide the claimant a
written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of
the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public entity and the claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section. (C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 33 of 113
board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute. (3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of
the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant. (4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor
may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so. (e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section. (f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing,
mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as
the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. (h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations. (i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes or extends that date. In addition, all claims by Contractor for $375,000 or less shall be resolved in accordance with
the procedures in the Public Contract Code, Division 2, Part 3, Chapter 1, Article 1.5

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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 38 of 113
the State of California, California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Industrial Relations, Chapter 4, Division of Industrial Safety, Subchapter 4, Construction Safety Orders and such other safety
regulations as may apply. Contractor shall furnish Engineer with such information as may be necessary to keep the Engineer fully informed regarding progress and manner of work and character of materials. Inspection or testing of the whole or any portion of 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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 39 of 113
furnish approved material from other approved sources. If any product proves unacceptable after improper storage, handling or for any other reason it shall be rejected, not incorporated
into the work and shall be removed from the project site all at the Contractor’s expense. Compaction tests may be made by the Engineer and all costs for tests that meet or exceed the requirements of the specifications shall be borne by the Agency. Said tests may be made at any place along the work as deemed necessary by the Engineer. The costs of any retests made necessary by noncompliance with the specifications shall be borne by the Contractor. 4-1.5 Certification. The Engineer may waive materials testing requirements of the Specifications and accept the manufacturer’s written certification that the materials to be supplied meet those requirements. Material test data may be required as part of the certification.
4-1.6 Trade Names or Equals. The Contractor may supply any of the materials specified or offer an equivalent. The Engineer shall determine whether the material offered is equivalent to that specified. Adequate time shall be allowed for the Engineer to make this determination.
Whenever any particular material, process, or equipment is indicated by patent, proprietary or brand name, or by name of manufacturer, such wording is used for the purpose of facilitating its
description and shall be deemed to be followed by the words or equal. A listing of materials is not intended to be comprehensive, or in order of preference. The Contractor may offer any material, process, or equipment considered to be equivalent to that indicated. The substantiation of offers shall be submitted as provided in the contract documents. The Contractor shall, at its expense, furnish data concerning items offered by it as equivalent to those specified. The Contractor shall have the material tested as required by the Engineer to determine that the quality, strength, physical, chemical, or other characteristics, including durability, finish, efficiency, dimensions, service, and suitability are such that the item will fulfill its intended function.
Test methods shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. Test results shall be reported promptly to the Engineer, who will evaluate the results and determine if the substitute item is equivalent. The Engineer’s findings shall be final. Installation and use of a substitute item shall
not be made until approved by the Engineer. If a substitute offered by the Contractor is not found to be equal to the specified material, the
Contractor shall furnish and install the specified material. The specified Contract completion time shall not be affected by any circumstance developing from the provisions of this section. The Contractor is responsible for the satisfactory performance of substituted items. If, in the sole opinion of the Engineer, the substitution is determined to be unsatisfactory in performance, appearance, durability, compatibility with associated items, availability of repair parts and suitability of application the Contractor shall remove the substituted item and replace it with the originally specified item at no cost to the Agency.
4-1.7 Weighing and Metering Equipment. All scales and metering equipment used for proportioning materials shall be inspected for accuracy and certified within the past 12 months by the State of California Bureau of Weights and Measures, by the County Director or Sealer of
Weights and Measures, or by a scale mechanic registered with or licensed by the County.
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 40 of 113
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 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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 41 of 113
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 within and outside the limits of work are a part of the Work. The Engineer shall have the right to verify the suitability of materials and their proper storage at any time during the Work. SECTION 5 – UTILITIES
5-1 LOCATION. The Agency and affected utility companies have, by a search of known 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.
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 42 of 113
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. 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. 5-5 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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 43 of 113
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.

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.
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 46 of 113
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. 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.

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

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

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 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 therefore. 6-2 PROSECUTION OF WORK.

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 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

SECTION 9 – MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 9-1 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES FOR UNIT PRICE WORK.
9-1.1 General. Unless otherwise specified, quantities of work shall be determined from measurements or dimensions in horizontal planes. However, linear quantities of pipe, piling, fencing and timber shall be considered as being the true length measured along longitudinal axis. Unless otherwise provided in Specifications, volumetric quantities shall be the product of the mean area of vertical or horizontal sections and the intervening horizontal or vertical dimension. The planimeter shall be considered an instrument of precision adapted to measurement of all
areas. 9-1.2 Methods of Measurement. Materials and items of work which are to be paid for on
basis of measurement shall be measured in accordance with methods stipulated in the particular sections involved.
9-1.3 Certified Weights. When payment is to be made on the basis of weight, the weighing shall be done on certified platform scales or, when approved by the Engineer, on a completely
automated weighing and recording system. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with duplicate licensed weighmaster’s certificates showing actual net weights. The Agency will accept the certificates as evidence of weights delivered. 9-1.4 Units of Measurement. The system of measure for this contract shall be the U.S. Standard Measures. 9-2 LUMP SUM WORK. Items for which quantities are indicated “Lump Sum”, “L.S.”, or “Job”, shall be paid for at the price indicated in the Bid. Such payment shall be full compensation for the items of work and all work appurtenant thereto. When required by the Specifications or requested by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer within 15 days after award of Contract, a detailed schedule in triplicate, to be used only as a basis for determining progress payments on a lump sum contract or designated lump sum bid item. This schedule shall equal the lump sum bid and shall be in such form and sufficiently detailed as to satisfy the Engineer that it correctly represents a reasonable apportionment of the lump sum. 9-3 PAYMENT 9-3.1 General. The quantities listed in the Bid schedule will not govern final payment. Payment to the Contractor will be made only for actual quantities of Contract items constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. Upon completion of construction, if the actual quantities show either an increase or decrease from the quantities given in the Bid schedule, the Contract Unit Prices will prevail subject to the provisions of Section 3-2.2.1. The unit and lump sum prices to be paid shall be full compensation for the items of work and all appurtenant work, including furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals. Payment will not be made for materials wasted or disposed of in a manner not called for under the Contract. This includes rejected material not unloaded from vehicles, material rejected after
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 71 of 113
it 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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 72 of 113
Engineer shall complete the detailed progress pay estimate and submit it to the Contractor for the Contractor’s information. Should the Contractor assert that additional payment is due, the
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, 10 percent will be deducted and retained by the Agency, and the remainder less the amount of all previous payments will be paid. After 50 percent of the Work
has been completed and if progress on the Work is satisfactory, the deduction to be made from remaining progress estimates and from the final estimate may be limited to $500 or 10 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
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 73 of 113

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.

Add the following section: 306-1.1.7 Steel Plate Bridging - With a Non-Skid Surface. This section covers the use of steel plate bridging. The Contractor shall not employ the use or use steel plate bridging or trench plate that does not meet the requirements of this section both in application and circumstance of use. Add the following section: 306-1.1.7.1 Requirements for Use. Alternate construction methods that avoid the use of steel
plate bridging shall be used by the Contractor unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. It is recognized that to accommodate excavation work, steel plate bridging may be necessary. All conditions for use of steel plate bridging set forth in the following requirements must be
fulfilled as conditions of approval of the use of steel plate bridging. Consideration of steel plate bridging in the review process will take into account the following factors:
1. Traffic volume and composition. 2. Duration of use of the steel plate bridging. 3. Size of the proposed excavation.
4. Weather conditions. The following formula shall be used to score the permitted use of steel plate bridging:
PS = [ ADT + EWL + DAYS + 10 X WEEKEND + 5 X NIGHTS + 20 X WEATHER + SPEED (kmh) + SLOPE X 100] X LANES 1000 8 PS = [ ADT + EWL + DAYS + 10 X WEEKEND + 5 X NIGHTS + 20 X WEATHER + SPEED (mph) + SLOPE X 100] X LANES
1000 5 where:
PS = plate score. ADT = average daily traffic as defined in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 2003 Edition as amended by the MUTCD 2003 California Supplement. EWL = equivalent wheel loads as defined in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 2003 Edition as amended by the MUTCD 2003 California Supplement. DAYS = total number of 24 hour periods during which the plates will be utilized at the site being considered. WEEKEND = total number of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays that the plates will be utilized at the site being considered. NIGHTS = total number of overnight periods that the plates will be in place, exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and holiday nights. WEATHER = total number of 24-hour periods that the plates will be utilized at the site being
considered when the possibility of rain exceeds 40 percent. SPEED = the design speed in kilometers per hour or miles per hour, as applicable in the formulae above, of the street where the plates are to be installed. This number
shall not be reduced for construction zone speed reductions. SLOPE = the quotient of the vertical differential divided by the horizontal distance. The vertical and horizontal dimensions shall be measured at the locations spanning a distance of 15 m (50’) up and downstream of the position of the proposed steel
Revised 11/12/21 Contract No. PSA20-1147TRAN Page 105 of 113
plate bridging. LANES = the number of lanes where plates will be used.
When the computed value of the plate score exceeds 50, steel plate bridging shall not be used unless, and at the sole discretion of the Engineer, the Engineer determines that no alternative method of construction is possible in lieu of using steel plate bridging or that other overriding considerations make the use of steel plate bridging acceptable. Alternatives considered to bridging shall include, but not be limited to, detouring traffic, construction detour routes, tunneling, boring and other methods of trenchless construction. Unless specifically noted in the provisions of the Engineer's approval, the use of steel plate bridging at each location so approved shall not exceed four (4) consecutive working days in any given week. Add the following section:
306-1.1.7.2 Additional Requirements. In all cases when the depth of the trench exceeds the width of the steel plate bridging resting on each side of the pavement adjacent to the trench, safety regulations require or the Engineer determines that shoring is necessary to protect the
health or safety of workers or the public the Contractor shall install shoring conforming to Section 7-10.4.1 of the Standard Specifications. The trench shoring shall be designed and installed to support the steel plate bridging and traffic loads. All approvals for design,
substitution of materials or methods shall be submitted by the Contractor in accordance with all provisions of section 2-5.3 Shop Drawings and Submittals.
