GUIDE FOR COMPLETING
THE “DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS” FORM
REFERENCES Prior to preparation of the following Subcontractor disclosure form Bidders are urged to review
the definitions in section 1-2 of the SSPWC (“Greenbook”) and in the Supplemental Provisions to this
Contract, especially, “Bid”, “Bidder“, “Contract“, “Contractor”, “Contract Price”, “Contract Unit Price”, “Engineer”, “Subcontractor” and “Work” and the definitions in section 1-2 of the Supplemental Provisions especially “Own Organization.” Bidders are further urged to review sections 2-3 SUBCONTRACTS of the
Greenbook and section 2-3.1 of these Supplemental Provisions.
CAUTIONS This form will be used by the Agency to determine the percentage of work that the Bidder
proposes to perform. Bidders are cautioned that failure to provide complete and correct information may result
in rejection of the bid as non-responsive. Any bid that proposes performance of more than 50 percent of the
work by subcontractors or otherwise to be preformed by forces other than the Bidder’s own organization will be rejected as non-responsive. Specialty items of work that may be so designated by the Engineer on the
“Contractor‘s Proposal” are not included in computing the percentage of work proposed to be performed by
the Bidder.
INSTRUCTIONS The Bidder shall set forth the name and location of business of each and every
subcontractor whom the Bidder proposes to perform work or labor or render service in or about the work or
improvement, and every subcontractor licensed as a contractor by the State of California whom the Bidder
proposes to specially fabricate and install any portion of the work or improvement according to detailed
drawings contained in the plans and specifications in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder’s
total bid or, in the case of bids or offers for the construction of streets and highways, including bridges, in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) or ten thousand dollars ($10,000) whichever is greater. Said name(s)
and location(s) of business of subcontractor(s) shall be set forth and included as an integral part of the bid
offer.
The Designation of Subcontractors form must be submitted as a part of the Bidder’s sealed bid. Failure to
provide comDlete and correct information may result in reiection of the bid as non-responsive.
Suppliers of materials from sources outside the limits of work are not subcontractors. The value of materials
and transport of materials from sources outside the limits of work, as shown on the plans, shall be assigned to
the Contractor or the Subcontractor as the case may be, that the Bidder proposes as installer of said
materials. The value of material incorporated in any Subcontractor-installed bid item that is supplied by the
Bidder shall be included as a part of the work that the Bidder proposes to be performed by the Subcontractor
installing said item. -
When a Subcontractor has a Carlsbad business license, the number must be entered on the proper form. If
the Subcontractor does not have a valid business license, enter “NONE” in the appropriate space.
When the Bidder proposes using a Subcontractor to construct or install less than 100 percent of a bid item,
the Bidder shall attach an explanation sheet to the Designation of Subcontractor form. The explanation sheet
shall clearly apprise the City of the specific facts that show the Bidder proposes to perform no less than fifty
percent (50%) of the work with its own forces.
-
-
- Determination of the subcontract amounts for purposes of award of the contract shall be determined by the
City Council in conformance with the provisions of the contract documents and the Supplemental Provisions.
The decision of the City Council shall be final.
Contractor is prohibited from performing any work on this project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to
perform work on a public works project pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1771 .I or 1777.7.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE
COVERAGE
On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Act of 2002 (the "Act"). The Act establishes a short-term pro-
gram under which the Federal Government will share in the payment of
covered losses caused by certain acts of international terrorism. We are
providing you with this notice to inform you of the key features of the Act,
and to let you know what effect, if any, the Act will have on your premium.
Under the Act, insurers are required to provide coverage for certain losses
caused by international acts of terrorism as defined in the Act. The Act fur-
ther provides that the Federal Government will pay a share of such losses.
Specifically, the Federal Government will pay 90% of the amount of cov-
ered losses caused by certain acts of terrorism which is in excess of an in-
surer's statutorily established deductible for that year. The Act also caps
the amount of terrorism-related losses for which the Federal Government or
an insurer can be responsible at $1 00,000,000,000.00, provided that the
insurer has met its deductible.
-
Please note that passage of the Act does not result in any change in cov-
erage under the attached policy or bond (or the policy or bond being
quoted). Please also note that no separate additional premium charge has
been made for the terrorism coverage required by the Act. The premium
charge that is allocable to such coverage is inseparable from and irnbed-
ded in your overall premium, and is no more than one percent of your pre-
mium.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE
COVERAGE
On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Act of 2002 (the "Act"). The Act establishes a short-term pro-
gram under which the Federal Government will share in the payment of
covered losses caused by certain acts of international terrorism. We are
providing you with this notice to inform you of the key features of the Act,
and to let you know what effect, if any, the Act will have on your premium.
Under the Act, insurers are required to provide coverage for certain losses
caused by international acts of terrorism as defined in the Act. The Act fur-
ther provides that the Federal Government will pay a share of such losses.
Specifically, the Federal Government will pay 90% of the amount of cov-
ered losses caused by certain acts of terrorism which is in excess of an in-
surer's statutorily established deductible for that year. The Act also caps
the amount of terrorism-related losses for which the Federal Government or
an insurer can be responsible at $1 00,000,000,000.00, provided that the
insurer has met its deductible.
-
Please note that passage of the Act does not result in any change in cov-
erage under the attached policy or bond (or the policy or bond being
quoted). Please also note that no separate additional premium charge has
been made for the terrorism coverage required by the Act. The premium
charge that is allocable to such coverage is inseparable from and imbed-
ded in your overall premium, and is no more than one percent of your pre-
mium.

consisting of twisted wire loops will not be permitted. Inner rods shall be left
in concrete when forms are stripped. All form ties shall be spaced equidistant
and symmetrical and shall line up both vertically and horizontally.
Clean out of Forms: All forms and surfaces to receive concrete shall be
cleaned of all chips, sawdust and other debris and shall be thoroughly blown
out with compressed air just before concrete is placed.
Arrangement: Arrange formwork to allow proper erection sequence and to
permit form removal without damage to concrete.
Construction Joints: Construction joints shall be formed as specified in Cast-
In- Place Concrete Section. Provide a surfaced pouring strip where
construction joints intersect exposed surfaces to provide straight line at joints.
Just prior to subsequent pour, remove strip and tighten forms to conceal shrinkage. Construction joints shall show no "overlapping" of concrete and
shall, as closely as possible, present the same appearance as butted
plywood joints. Joints in a continuous line shall be straight, true, and sharp.
Imbedded Items: Provisions shall be made for pipes, sleeves, anchors,
inserts, reglets, anchor slots, nailers, waterstops. and other features. No
wood other than necessary nailing blocks shall be imbedded in concrete.
Complete cooperation shall be extended suppliers of imbedded items in their
installation. Secure information for imbedded items from other trades as
required. All imbedded items shall be securely anchored in correct location
and alignment prior to placing concrete. Electrical and telephone conduits
shall be run in concrete only on the written approval of the Architect. Under
no circumstances will aluminum conduit be permitted in concrete. No
electrical or telephone conduit larger than 314" in diameter and no plumbing
pipes of any size will be permitted in concrete walls or slabs, except through
sleeves.
Openings for Items Passing through Concrete: Frame openings in concrete
where indicated on the drawings. Contractor shall establish exact location,
sizes and other conditions required for openings and attachment of work
specified under other sections. Contractor shall be held responsible for proper coordination of all work of this nature in order that there will be no ..
unnecessary cutting and patching or concrete. Any cutting and repairing to
concrete required as result of failure to provide for such openings shall be
paid for by the Contractor at no additional expense to the City of Carlsbad.
Screeds: Contractor shall set screeds and establish levels for tops of
concrete slabs and leveling for finish on slabs. Shape slabs to drain where
required or as indicated on drawings. Before depositing concrete, all forms
shall be thoroughly wetted. Reinforcement and inserts shall be secured in
position and approved by the City of Carlsbad. Free-standing water shall be
removed.
Screed Supports: Screed supports for concrete over waterproof membrane
andlor vapor-barrier membranes shall be of a cradle, pad, or base type which
will not puncture the membrane. Staking through the membrane will not be
permitted.
Reuse and Coating of Forms: Thoroughly clean forms and re-coat with
specified form coating before each reuse. Do not reuse any form for
exposed work which cannot be reconditioned to "like new" condition. Discard
forms considered unsatisfactory by the City of Carlsbad. Apply form coating
to all forms in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Apply form
coatings before placing reinforcing steel.
Inspection: Prior to placing of any concrete, and after placement of
reinforcing steel in the forms, Contractor shall notify the City of Carlsbad so
that proper inspection may be made. Such notification shall be made at least

72 hours in advance of placing concrete to permit proper arrangements to be
made for inspection.
Rejection of Defective Work Due to Improper Forms: Any movement or
bellying of forms during construction or variations in excess of the tolerances
specified will be considered just cause for the removal of such forms and, in
addition, the concrete work so affected. Reconstruction of forms and new
concrete shall be furnished at no additional cost to the City of Carlsbad.
The supporting forms and shoring shall not be removed until the members
have acquired sufficient strength to support their weight and the loads
superimposed thereon safely. In no case may any forms or shoring be
removed until the time and sequence has been approved by the City of
Carlsbad. Earlier removal than specified below may be approved by the City
of Carlsbad, based on the weather and tests of job-cured cylinders. All
formwork shall be removed without damage to the concrete.
During the period that forms are in place on the concrete work, said forms
shall be kept wet at all times.
In removing plywood forms, no metal pinch bars shall be used and special
care shall be taken in stripping. Start at top edge of vertical corner where it is possible to insert wooden wedges. Wedging shall be done gradually and
shall be accompanied by light tapping on the plywood panels to crack them
loose. Do not remove form with a single jerk after it has been started at one
end.
Forms shall be left in place as long as possible to permit shrinkage away
from concrete, and plywood forms shall be left in place until all other forms
around are stripped and until there is no danger of damaging the concrete
due to other work in the vicioity.
After stripping, Contractor shall properly protect all concrete to be exposed in the finish work from damage, with boards and non-staining building paper to prevent staining, spalled edges, chips, etc.

Colored Concrete: Where required, incorporate color admixture in strict
accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
Finishing (unless otherwise noted) shall be as follows:
1. Flat work, exterior: as shown on the drawings.
2. Wall faces, exterior: as shown on the drawings.
Variance in concrete slab surface shall be M more than 1/16 in IO'.
Curing shall be done in such a manner as to produce a complete hydration of
the concrete. The responsibility of proper curing will lie with the Contractor.
Improperly cured concrete shall be removed and replaced at the expense of
the Contractor.
Curing may be accomplished by keeping concrete continuously wet by flooding, by covering the concrete with 'Visqueen" for 10 days, or by use of
curing compound.
Exterior walks, curbs, gutters, and other exterior concrete work may be cured
by the use of an approved curing compound applied in strict compliance with
manufacturer's specifications.
Removal of forms: Do not remove forms until the concrete has attained
adequate strength to prevent damage. Take extreme care in stripping to
avoid breaking off corners, marking concrete, or defacing the finish surface in
any way.
After stripping forms, clean all exposed concrete surfaces and all adjoining
work stained by leakage of concrete. Remove all fins, burrs, and projections by grinding.
Patch all voids, rock pockets, holes, cracks, etc., by chipping loose concrete
and exposing clean sound aggregate. City will inspect all patching preparation
prior to dry packing for approval.
C. After inspection, dampen prepared recesses for 2 hours minimum and fill with drypack to within 1/4" of surface. Keep drypack damp for 2 days minimum.
DEFECTIVE CONCRETE
Should concrete tests indicate that the strengths do not meet those specified, or if concrete has excessive pockets, or if reinforcing steel is exposed, or if concrete does
not in any way comply with the drawings and specifications, the defective concrete
shall be removed and replaced as directed at the Contractors expense.

Concrete paving shall conform to the general provisions of this
section and to the appropriate standard drawings. Unless otherwise
specified, all sidewalks shall be 4" thick.
In the construction of sidewalks, the concrete shall be tamped sufficiently to bring the fines to the surface after which it shall be
finished to the required grade with wooden floats, and finished as
detailed on the drawings.
When a straight edge IO' long is laid on the surface of the sidewalk, the surface shall not vary more than 1/16" from the edge of the
straightedge, except at grade changes or curves.

5. Unless otherwise provided, the transverse slope of the surface of
sidewalks shall be 114" per foot, calculated from the top of the curb to
the back of the sidewalk.
The Contractor shall repair and clean, at his own expense, all
concrete damaged or discolored during construction. Where any walk
required repair before acceptance, repair shall be made by removing
and replacing the entire walk between joints and not by refinishing
the damaged portions.
Any concrete paving that is not formed as indicated, or has been
damaged or discolored, or has voids or rock pockets, or does not
fully conform to these specifications will be deemed defective. Such work shall be removed as directed by the City from the job site and
replaced with concrete complying with the drawings and
specifications.
Any concrete paving that shows evidence of cracking prior to
completion of the project or during the 60-day maintenance period
shall be replaced by the contractor at no cost to the City. Such
replacement shall include the entire panel of concrete in which the
cracking occurs, up to the nearest expansion or control joints.
