SECTION 10 – WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
PART 1 - GENERAL
Scope of Work
This section includes specifications for water pollution control.

The Contractor is required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and implement the plan once approved by the Engineer.

The intent of these requirements is to enforce federal, state and local laws, ordinances, codes and regulations that pertain to storm water pollution attributable to construction projects. Storm drains discharge directly to creeks without treatment. Therefore, discharge of pollutants (i.e. any substance, material or waste other than uncontaminated storm water) into the storm drain system is strictly prohibited.

For the purpose of eliminating storm water pollution, the Contractor shall implement effective control measures over the entire project. There are several publications which provide guidance on selecting and implementing effective control measures known as Best Management Practices (BMPs). BMPs include, but are not limited to, schedules of activities, prohibition of practices, general good housekeeping practices, operational practices, pollution prevention practices, maintenance procedures and other management procedures designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants directly or indirectly to the storm drain system. BMPs also include the construction of some facilities which may be required to prevent, control and abate storm water pollution. The reference publications are as follows:

1. California Storm Water Best Management Practices Handbook - Industrial/Commercial

PART 3 - EXECUTION
In accordant with Section 39-2.01C, “Construction”, of the Caltrans Standard Specifications.

Surface Preparation
Prepare subgrade to receive HMA under the sections for the material involved. Subgrade must be free of loose and extraneous material.

Before placing HMA, remove loose paving particles, dirt, and other extraneous material by any means.

The full-width of a surface to which a tack coat is to be applied shall be cleaned with a selfpropelled, truck-mounted sweeper equipped with both power brooms and a vacuum system to remove loose dirt, sand, dust and other objectionable material. The surface to which the tack coat is to be applied shall be dry prior to application.

Tack Coat
Prior to applying tack coat, submit calculations for the minimum spray rate required to achieve the minimum residual rate.

Apply a tack coat:

1. To existing pavement including planed surfaces

2. Between HMA layers

3. To vertical surfaces of:
a. Curbs
b. Gutters
c. Construction joints
The surfaces of structures and trees adjacent to the areas being treated shall be protected to prevent their being splashed or damaged.

Equipment for the application of tack coat must comply with section 37-1.03B of the Caltrans Standard Specifications.

For gore points and other areas not accessible to a truck distributor bar apply by hand spraying.

Close areas receiving tack coat to traffic. Do not allow the tracking of tack coat onto pavement surfaces beyond the job site.

If use an asphalt binder for tack coat, the asphalt binder temperature must be from 285 to 350 degrees F when applied.

A certificate of compliance for each truckload of emulsion or asphalt binder shall be provided to the Engineer before the application of tack coat starts. The Engineer may obtain and retain samples for testing.

Immediately after cleaning the surface, except if water was used, apply a tack coat in one application at the minimum residual rate shown in the table. If water is used, do not apply a tack coat until immediately after the surface is dry. The distributor truck spray bar shall be

2026 NEIGHBORHOOD STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM TS-71
pressurized during application and discharge tack coat material in a fan shape (spray cone) from each nozzle. The spray bar shall be set at a height above the existing pavement which results in each interior spray cone overlapping a minimum of twice before coming into contact with the underlying pavement. Streaking or streaked applications will not be accepted.

Following the application of tack coat, the surface shall be allowed to cure without being disturbed for period of time necessary to permit setting of the tack coat. A tack coat shall be applied only as far in advance of the placing of the overlying layer as required for that day's operation. The treated surface shall be protected from damage until the succeeding course of pavement is placed.

Apply a tack coat to vertical surfaces with a residual rate that will thoroughly coat the vertical face without running off.

Notify the Engineer if water is used in dilute asphaltic emulsion. The weight ratio of added water to asphaltic emulsion must not exceed 1 to 1.

Measure added water either by weight or volume under section 9-1.02 of the Caltrans Standard Specifications or use water meters from water agencies. If measuring water by volume, apply a conversion factor to determine the correct weight.

With each dilution, submit:

1. Weight ratio of water to bituminous material in the original asphaltic emulsion

2. Weight of asphaltic emulsion before diluting

3. Weight of added water

4. Final dilution weight ratio of water to asphaltic emulsion If authorized, change tack coat rates.

Immediately in advance of placing HMA, apply additional tack coat to damaged areas or where loose or extraneous material is removed.

Placement
The Engineer will meet daily with the Contractor on days when paving occurs to ensure the Contractor’s operations are continuous and non-stop.

2026 NEIGHBORHOOD STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM TS-72
Deliver HMA to the site in a thoroughly mixed condition and spread by a self-propelled asphalt paving machine.

HMA shall not be placed when the air temperature is below 50°F unless using an approved WMA technology.

HMA with WMA water injection technology shall be spread at a mix temperature of not less than 260°F, or not less than 250°F if a WMA additive technology is used.

No placement will be allowed when the roadway is moist, damp or when it is raining. For the purpose of this provision, "raining" means any weather condition that causes the roadway to become moist or damp. In the case of sudden precipitation, all paving work must stop immediately, all HMA on site not yet placed and all HMA in transit from the plant will be rejected and no payment will be allowed.

Deposit HMA in a windrow and load it in the paver if:

1. Paver is equipped with a hopper that automatically feeds the screed

2. Loading equipment can pick up the windrowed material and deposit it in the paver hopper without damaging base material

3. Activities for depositing, pickup, loading, and paving are continuous Do not use petroleum products such as kerosene or diesel fuel to release HMA from trucks, spreaders, or compactors.

Where the pavement thickness shown is 0.30 foot or greater, place HMA in multiple lifts not less than 0.15 foot each. If placing HMA in multiple lifts:

1. Aggregate gradation must comply with the requirements shown in the following table:

Aggregate Gradation Requirements
HMA lift thickness Gradation

0.15 to less than 0.20 foot 1/2 inch

0.20 foot to less than 0.25 foot 3/4 inch

0.25 foot or greater 3/4 inch

2. Apply a tack coat before placing a subsequent lift

3. The Engineer evaluates each HMA lift individually for compliance If the ambient air temperature is below 60 degrees F, cover the loads in trucks with tarpaulins. If the time for HMA discharge to truck at the HMA plant until transfer to paver's hopper is 90 minutes or greater and if the ambient air temperature is below 70 degrees F, cover the loads in trucks with tarpaulins, unless the time from discharging to the truck until transfer to the paver's hopper or the pavement surface is less than 30 minutes. The tarpaulins must completely cover the exposed load until transfer of the mixture to the paver's hopper or the pavement surface.

Spread HMA with WMA at the ambient air and surface temperatures shown in the following table:

Longitudinal Joints
Longitudinal joints in the top layer must match lane lines. Alternate the longitudinal joint offsets in the lower layers at least 0.5 foot from each side of the lane line. Other longitudinal joint placement patterns are allowed if authorized.

A vertical longitudinal joint of more than 0.15 foot is not allowed at any time between adjacent lanes open to traffic.

For an HMA thickness of 0.15 foot or less, the distance between the ends of the adjacent surfaced lanes at the end of each day's work must not be greater than can be completed in the following day of normal paving.

For an HMA thickness greater than 0.15 foot, must place HMA on adjacent traveled way lanes or shoulder such that at the end of each work shift the distance between the ends of HMA layers on adjacent lanes is from 5 to 10 feet. Place additional HMA along the transverse edge at each lane's end and along the exposed longitudinal edges between adjacent lanes. Hand rake and compact the additional HMA to form temporary conforms. Place kraft paper or other authorized release agent under the conform tapers to facilitate the taper removal when paving activities resume.

If placing HMA against the edge of existing pavement, saw cut or grind the pavement straight and vertical along the joint and remove extraneous material.

Compaction
Start rolling at the lower edge and progress toward the highest part except when compacting layers which exceed 4 inches in compacted thickness. For layers which exceed 4 inches in compacted thickness, start rolling in the middle of the mat, and advance gradually to both edges. Roll supported edges (edges along concrete curbs and gutters, or headers) before unsupported edges. If approved, delay rolling of an unsupported edge if the required density is achieved on the remainder of the mat after the completion of finish rolling.

Complete finish rolling activities before the pavement surface temperature is:

1. Below 150 degrees F for HMA with unmodified binder

2. Below 140 degrees F for HMA with modified binder
Rolling must leave the completed surface compacted and smooth without tearing, cracking, or shoving.

2026 NEIGHBORHOOD STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM TS-74
If a vibratory roller is used as a finish roller, turn the vibrator off.

HMA, after the completion of rolling, shall be compacted to not less than 92 percent and not more than 97 percent of the maximum theoretical density (MTD) as determined in accordance with AASHTO T 209.

Do not open new HMA pavement to traffic until its mid depth temperature is below 160 degrees F.

If the surface to be paved is both in sunlight and shade, pavement surface temperatures are taken in the shade.

Smoothness
The HMA pavement top layer must not vary from the lower edge of a 12-foot-long straightedge:

1. More than 0.01 foot when the straight edge is laid parallel with the centerline

2. More than 0.02 foot when the straightedge is laid perpendicular to the centerline and extends from edge to edge of a traffic lane

3. More than 0.02 foot when the straightedge is laid within 24 feet of a pavement conform Quality Control
HMA Density

1. The Contractor shall demonstrate that their equipment and operation can achieve the required density on a test strip not less than 200 feet long and 12 feet wide in accordance with California Test 375. The Contractor is responsible for the quality control process necessary to achieve the required density.

2. The test strip construction may be on the same day as production testing or the first day of paving. If on the first day of paving, the Engineer will issue a notice to proceed for paving after the completion of the test strip. Contractors are fully responsible for achieving the required in-place density both prior to, and after, determination of the theoretical maximum density.

In-Place Density

1. The Engineer determines the percent of theoretical maximum density by determining the in-place density by nuclear gauge and dividing by the theoretical maximum density.

2. The Engineer will determine the field density by a nuclear gauge calibrated from cores taken from the test strip in accordance with California Test 375.

No Bidder shall be allowed to make, file or be interested in more than one bid for the same work unless alternate bids are specifically called for. A person, firm or corporation that has submitted a sub-proposal to a Bidder, or that has quoted prices of materials to a Bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or quoting prices to other bidders. No person, firm, corporation, or other entity may submit a sub-proposal to a Bidder, or quote prices of materials to a Bidder, when also submitting a prime Bid on the same Project.

ARTICLE 22. SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITY
The Contract Documents call for monthly progress payments based upon the percentage of the Work completed. The City will retain a percentage of each progress payment as provided by the Contract Documents. At the request and expense of the successful Bidder, the City will substitute securities for the amount so retained in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300.

ARTICLE 23. PREVAILING WAGES
The City has obtained from the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which this work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the Contract. These rates are available at the Administrative Services Department of the City or may be obtained online at http://www.dir.ca.gov. Bidders are advised that a copy of these rates must be posted by the successful Bidder at the job site(s).

ARTICLE 24. DEBARMENT OF CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS In accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code, contractors or subcontractors may not perform work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1777.1 or 1777.7. Any contract on a public works project entered into between a contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a

38044.03101\31188026.2
-14- 00 21 13 – INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid to a debarred subcontractor by the Contractor for the Project shall be returned to the City. The Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Project.

ARTICLE 25. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to commencing work, the successful bidder shall purchase and maintain insurance as set forth in the General Conditions.

ARTICLE 26. PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND REQUIREMENTS The successful bidder will be required to furnish a Labor and Material Payment Bond and a Faithful Performance Bond each in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price. Each bond shall be secured from a surety company that meets all State of California bonding requirements, as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120 and is admitted by the State of California. Each bond shall be accompanied, upon the request of City, with all documents required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.660 to the extent required by law. All bonding and insurance requirements shall be completed and submitted to City within ten (10) working days from the date the City provides the successful bidder with the Notice of Award.

ARTICLE 27. SALES AND OTHER APPLICABLE TAXES, PERMITS, LICENSES AND FEES Contractor and its subcontractors performing work under this Contract will be required to pay California sales tax and other applicable taxes, and to pay for permits, licenses and fees required by the agencies with authority in the jurisdiction in which the Work will be located, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 28. PERMIT AND INSPECTION FEE ALLOWANCE
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Bid Form contains an allowance for the Contractor’s cost of acquiring traffic control permits and for construction inspection fees that may be charged to the Contractor by the Agency of Jurisdiction. The allowance is included within the Bid Form to eliminate the need by bidders to research or estimate the costs of traffic control permits and construction inspection fees prior to submitting a bid. The allowance is specifically intended to account for the costs of traffic control permits and construction inspection fees charged by the local Agency of Jurisdiction only. No other costs payable by Contractor to the Agency of Jurisdiction are included within the allowance.

ARTICLE 29. FILING OF BID PROTESTS
Bidders may file a “protest” of a Bid with the City Clerk. In order for a Bidder’s protest to be considered valid, the protest must:

A. Be filed in writing within five (5) calendar days after the bid opening date; B. Clearly identify the specific irregularity or accusation; C. Clearly identify the specific City staff determination or recommendation being protested;

38044.03101\31188026.2
-15- 00 21 13 – INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
D. Specify in detail the grounds for protest and the facts supporting the protest; and E. Include all relevant, supporting documentation with the protest at time of filing.

If the protest does not comply with each of these requirements, the City may reject the protest without further review.

If the protest is timely and complies with the above requirements, the City Clerk], or other designated City staff member, shall review the protest, any response from the challenged Bidder(s), and all other relevant information. The City Clerk will provide a written decision to the protestor.

The procedure and time limits set forth in this Article are mandatory and are the sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a Bid protest. Failure to comply with these procedures shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies and a waiver of any right to further pursue the Bid protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings.

ARTICLE 30. BASIS OF AWARD; BALANCED BID
The City shall award the Contract to the lowest responsible Bidder submitting a responsive Bid.

The lowest Bid will be determined on the basis of the Base Bid Price.

The City may reject any Bid which, in its opinion when compared to other Bids received or to the City’s internal estimates, does not accurately reflect the cost to perform the Work. The City may reject as non-responsive any Bid which unevenly weights or allocates costs, including but not limited to overhead and profit to one or more particular bid items.

ARTICLE 31. AWARD PROCESS
Once all Bids are opened and reviewed to determine the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, the City may award the contract. The apparent successful Bidder should begin to prepare the following documents: (1) the Performance Bond; (2) the Payment Bond; and (3) the required insurance certificates and endorsements. Once the City notifies the Bidder of the award, the Bidder will have ten (10) working days from the date of this notification to execute the Contract and supply the City with all of the required documents and certifications. Regardless of whether the Bidder supplies the required documents and certifications in a timely manner, the Contract time will begin to run twenty (20) working days from the date of the notification. Once the City receives all of the properly drafted and executed documents and certifications from the Bidder, the City shall issue a Notice to Proceed to that Bidder.

ARTICLE 32. EXECUTION OF CONTRACT
As required herein the Bidder to whom an award is made shall execute the Contract in the amount determined by the Contract Documents. The City may require appropriate evidence that the persons executing the Contract are duly empowered to do so. The Contract and bond forms to be executed by the successful Bidder are included within these Specifications and shall not be detached.

The costs for any Work shown or required in the Contract Documents, but not specifically identified as a line item are to be included in the related line items and no additional compensation shall be due to Contractor for the performance of the Work.

In case of discrepancy between the Unit Price and the Item Cost set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail and shall be utilized as the basis for determining the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder. However, if the amount set forth as a unit price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or is the same amount as the entry in the “Item Cost” column, then the amount set forth in the “Item Cost” column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the Unit Price.

For purposes of evaluating Bids, the City will correct any apparent errors in the extension of unit prices and any apparent errors in the addition of lump sum and extended prices.

The estimated quantities for Unit Price items are for purposes of comparing Bids only and the City makes no representation that the actual quantities of work performed will not vary from the estimates.
