SECTION 00 20 00

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

1.01 INSPECTION OF SITE
Bidders are required to inspect the site of the work to satisfy themselves by personal examination or by such other means as they may prefer, of the location of the proposed work, and of the actual conditions of and at the site of work. Bidders should plan to inspect the site of the work during the pre-bid meeting and can schedule additional time by special arrangement with the Owner.

Entrance by bidders to the site of the work for purposes of making exploratory excavations shall be by special arrangement with the Owner and under conditions established by the Owner. If, during the course of his examination, a bidder finds facts or conditions which appear to him to be in conflict with the letter or spirit of the project manual, he may apply to the Owner, in writing, for additional information and explanation before submitting his bid.

Submission of a bid by the bidder is an acknowledgment that, if awarded the contract, bidder has relied and is relying on bidder’s own examination of (1) the site of the work, (2) access to the site, and (3) all other data and matters requisite to the fulfillment of the work and on his own knowledge of existing facilities on and in the vicinity of the site of the work to be constructed under the contract.

The information provided by the Owner is not intended to be a substitute for, or a supplement to the independent verification by the bidder to the extent such independent investigation of site conditions is deemed necessary or desirable by the bidder. Bidder acknowledges that he has not relied upon Owner-furnished information regarding site conditions in preparing and submitting a bid.

1.02 EXAMINATION OF PROJECT MANUAL
Each bidder must thoroughly examine and be familiar with those contract documents contained in the project manual. Submission of a bid constitutes acknowledgment, upon which the Owner may rely, that the bidder has thoroughly examined and is familiar with the project manual.

Failure or neglect of a bidder to examine any of the contract documents contained in the project manual in no way relieves bidder from any obligation with respect to his bid or to the contract. No claim for additional compensation will be allowed that is based upon a lack of knowledge of the contract documents or the work.

1.03 INTERPRETATION OF PROJECT MANUAL
Bidders, prospective subcontractors, manufacturers and suppliers may request interpretation of the project manual prior to bid opening. Requests for interpretation must be directed in writing to David Yeager, Public Works Director, 377J Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 (707) 951-3275. Requests to clarify the source of materials, equipment, suppliers, or any other matter that does not modify, change, increase, or decrease the scope of work, requires no action by the Owner other than a response to the bidder requesting the clarification. Requests to clarify possible ambiguous, conflicting or incomplete statements or designs, or any other clarification that MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 20 00 – INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS 2 of 9
modifies, changes, increases or decreases the scope of work, requires issuance of an addendum by the Owner for the interpretation to become effective.

1.04 BID DOCUMENTS
A. BID FORMS:

1. GENERAL: Bids must be made on the blank bid forms prepared and provided by the Owner. Bids must give the prices proposed, both in writing and in figures, must give all other information requested, and must be signed by the bidder or his authorized representative, with his address.

2. BID PRICES: Bid prices must include everything necessary for the completion of the work including but not limited to providing the materials, equipment, tools, plant and other facilities, and the management, superintendence, labor and services, and bonds. Bid prices must include allowance for federal, state, and local taxes. Bid prices shall be guaranteed by the Contractor for 90 days.

In the event of a difference between a price quoted in words and a price quoted in figures for the same quotation, the words are the amount bid. In the event that the product of a unit price and an estimated quantity does not equal the extended amount quoted, the unit price governs, and the correct product of the unit price and the estimated quantity is deemed to be the amount bid. If the sum of two or more items in a bidding schedule does not equal the total amounts quoted, the individual item amounts govern and the correct total is deemed to be the amount bid.

3. BIDDER'S SIGNATURE AND AUTHORITY: If the bid is made by an individual, his name, signature, and post office address must be shown; if made by a firm or partnership, the name and post office address of the firm or partnership, a list of the partners, and the signature of at least one of the general partners must be shown; if made by a corporation, the bid must show the name of the state under the laws of which the corporation is chartered, the name and post office address of the corporation, and the title of the person who signs on behalf of the corporation. If the bid is made by a joint venture, the bid must be signed by a representative of one of the joint venture firms.

4. BID IRREGULARITIES: Each bid and the information requested, bound in the project manual, shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope and labeled as specified in the Invitation to Bid. Bidders are warned against making erasures or alterations of any kind, and bids containing omissions, erasures, or irregularities of any kind may be rejected. No oral, telegraphic, or telephonic bids or modifications will be considered.

5. MODIFICATION OF BID: Modification of a bid already received will be considered only if the modification is received prior to the time established for receiving bids.

Modifications must be made in writing, executed, and submitted in the same form and manner as the original bid.

6. WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS: Within five days after the opening of bids, a bidder may withdraw his bid, if he establishes to the Owner's satisfaction that a mistake was made in preparing the bid. A bidder who wants to withdraw must give written notice to the Owner, specifying, in detail, how the mistake occurred and how the mistake made the bid materially MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 20 00 – INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS 3 of 9
different than it was intended to be. Withdrawal is not permitted for mistakes resulting from errors in judgment or carelessness in inspecting the site of the work or in reading the project manual.

7. MAJOR EQUIPMENT ITEMS: Certain items of major equipment to be provided under this contract are shown on the plans. The bidder shall provide the name of the manufacturer of the equipment to be provided for all major equipment. Only one manufacturer shall be indicated for each item. By so indicating, the bidder warrants that equipment manufactured and/or supplied by the named manufacturer will be provided on the project unless review of submittal information or performance under tests reveals that the manufacturer is unresponsive to the contract. Failure to indicate a manufacturer for any equipment may render the bid unresponsive to the invitation to bid and may be a basis for rejection of the bid.

The arrangements specified on the drawings are based on a particular manufacturer's equipment. Where the Contractor selects a manufacturer whose equipment arrangement is different than specified, the total amount listed in the bid shall provide for a complete operating installation for each equipment item listed, including any and all changes and additions in structure, piping, buildings, mechanical, electrical and control systems and accessories required to accommodate the listed manufacturer's equipment. The bid shall also include the preparation and submission of detailed drawings, calculations and manufacturer's data to allow evaluation of the proposed equipment and to show all modifications to the work as necessary to accommodate the proposed manufacturer's equipment.

In the event that the Owner, at its sole discretion, determines that the equipment of the manufacturer listed by the Contractor and submitted for review does not meet the requirements of the contract, the Contractor shall select and submit for review equipment of another manufacturer which does meet the contract, and no increase in the total amount of the contract shall be allowed.

B. ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT:

The bidder may offer a deductive price to the Owner for supplying alternative or substitute equipment or material for items specified or shown in the plans by listing the specification section, item description, manufacturer, and deductive amount as a supplement to the bid. The bid shall be based on supplying equipment or material from manufacturers or suppliers specified or shown on the plans. Alternative or substitute equipment or material will be considered by the Owner after contract award and shall not be used in determining the basis of award. Selection of any offered alternate or substitution shall be at the Owner’s sole discretion and will be accomplished by issuing a deductive change order for an amount agreed upon.

Manufacturers or suppliers of materials and equipment may offer an alternative product to the Contractor and request that alternatives to specified products be considered equal. Inclusion of such alternatives in the bid is the responsibility of the Contractor. Inclusion should only be considered if the Contractor believes the offered alternative is equal in quality to the specified product. After award of contract, such offers of alternative products will be reviewed and processed as a substitution provided under paragraph 00 72 00-4.05.

Listings and subsequent substitutions, if any, must be done in conformance with the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act, commencing at Section 4100 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California.

Interference with the work is defined as a utility that crosses or projects into the plane of the work at an elevation between the top and bottom of the work. If it is necessary to remove, relocate, or temporarily maintain the utility, that work shall be included in the change order. The utility owner has the option of doing such work at the Contractor's expense, or permitting the work to be performed by the Contractor. In either case, the cost of the work will be included in the change order.

The Contractor may offer material or equipment of equal or better quality and performance in substitution for those specified. The Owner will consider offers for substitution only from the Contractor and will not acknowledge or consider such offers from suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, or subcontractors. The Contractor's offers of substitution must be made in writing to the Construction Manager and must include sufficient data to enable the Construction Manager to assess the acceptability of the material or equipment for the particular application and requirements.

If the offered substitution necessitates changes to or coordination with other portions of the work, the data submitted must include drawings and details showing such changes. Contractor agrees to perform these changes as part of the substitution of material or equipment at no additional cost to the Owner. Within 30 calendar days after receipt of the offer of substitution, the Construction Manager will review the material submitted by the Contractor and advise the Contractor of objections, if any, to the proposed substitution or if further information is required.

Upon notification by the Construction Manager, the Contractor must either provide material or equipment that complies with project specifications or if requested, furnish additional information.

Although the Construction Manager may not take any objections to the proposed substitution, that will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for the efficiency, sufficiency, quality and performance of the substitute material or equipment, in the same manner and degree as the material and equipment specified by name. Any cost difference associated with a substitution must be reflected in the offer and the contract documents must be modified by a change order.

4.06 DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS A. INSPECTION:

To demonstrate his or her compliance with the contract requirements, the Contractor must assist the Construction Manager in his or her performance of inspection work. The Contractor must grant the Construction Manager access to the work and to the site of the work, and to the places where work is being prepared, or whence materials, equipment or machinery are being obtained for the work. The Contractor must provide information requested by the Construction Manager in connection with inspection work.

If the contract documents, laws, ordinances, or any public regulatory authority require parts of the work to be specially inspected, tested or approved, the Contractor will give the Construction Manager adequate prior written notice of the availability of the subject work for examination.

If parts of the work are covered in contravention of the Construction Manager's directive, the cost of exposing the work for inspection and closing must be borne by the Contractor regardless of whether or not the work is found to be in compliance with the contract.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 20 of 37
If any work is covered in the absence of the Construction Manager's directive to the contrary, the Contractor must, if directed to do so by the Construction Manager, uncover, expose or otherwise make available for inspection, portions of covered work. If it is found that such work is defective, the Contractor must bear the expense of uncovering and reconstructing. If the work is found to be in compliance with the contract, the Contractor will be allowed an increase in the contract price, or an extension in the contract time, or both. A change order will be issued to document the increase, extension or both.

B. SAMPLES OF MATERIALS:

In cases where compliance with contract requirements for materials to be incorporated in the work requires laboratory examination or special testing, the Contractor must provide samples or specimens as requested by the Construction Manager. Such samples or specimens must be provided in ample time to permit making proper test analysis and examinations before incorporating the material into the work. Tests of material will be conducted in accordance with the technical specifications. In the absence of a specific test requirement, the Construction Manager will determine the appropriate standard test to be used.

C. CERTIFICATION:

In cases where compliance of materials or equipment to contract requirements is not readily determinable through inspection and tests, the Construction Manager will request that the Contractor provide properly authenticated documents, certificates or other satisfactory proof of compliance. These documents, certifications, and proofs must include performance characteristics, materials of construction and the physical or chemical characteristics of materials.

D. INSPECTION AT POINT OF MANUFACTURING:

If Owner’s inspection and testing of materials or equipment in the vicinity of the work is not practicable, the specifications may require that the inspection and testing or witnessing of tests take place at the point of manufacture. In this case and in the event the remote inspection and testing is not specified and is requested by the Owner, the required travel, subsistence, and labor expenses will be paid by the Owner. If the Contractor requests the Owner to inspect and test material or equipment at the point of manufacture, then the additional cost to the Owner for travel, subsistence, and labor expenses must be paid by the Contractor.

4.07 STORAGE OF MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
Materials and equipment must be stored so as to insure the preservation of their quality and fitness for the work. Stored equipment and materials must be located so as to facilitate inspection.

The Contractor is responsible for damages that occur in connection with the care and protection of materials and equipment until final acceptance of the work.

4.08 MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS
Manufactured articles and materials and equipment must be applied, installed, connected, erected, adjusted, tested, operated and maintained as recommended by the manufacturer, unless otherwise specified. Manufacturer's installation instructions and procedures must be provided or obtained prior to installation of the manufactured articles, material, and equipment.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 21 of 37

4.09 DEFECTIVE WORK
A. CORRECTION OF DEFECTIVE WORK:

When, and as often as the Construction Manager determines through his or her inspection procedures to be the case, material, equipment or workmanship incorporated in the project do not meet the requirements of the contract, the Construction Manager will give written notice of the noncompliance to the Contractor. Within five days from the receipt of the notice, the Contractor must undertake the work necessary to correct the deficiencies, and to comply with the contract. If the Contractor disagrees with the Construction Manager's determination and believes that the corrective work should be covered by a change order, he or she must immediately notify the Owner's Representative, in writing, setting forth his position. Within five days after receipt of the Contractor's notification, the Owner's Representative will review the matter and notify the Contractor, in writing, of his determination. If the Owner's Representative determines that the corrective work is required to comply with the contract, the Contractor must proceed with that work.

As a condition precedent to the Contractor's request for either additional compensation or time extension, or both, resulting from the performance of the corrective work, the Contractor must, within 15 calendar days after receipt of the Owner's Representative's determination, notify the Owner's Representative in writing of his intent to claim additional compensation, time or both. The Contractor must document the cost information associated with the corrective work with daily records in accordance with paragraph 00 72 00-7.02 F and provide that information to the Construction Manager monthly. Receipt of the cost data by the Construction Manager will not be construed to be an acceptance of the corrective work, or an authorization for a change order to cover the corrective work.

B. RETENTION OF DEFECTIVE WORK:

Prior to acceptance of the project, the Owner may, at his option, retain work which is not in compliance with the contract if the Owner determines that such defective work is not of sufficient magnitude or importance to make the work dangerous or undesirable. The Owner also may retain defective work, if, in the opinion of the Construction Manager, and with concurrence of the Owner's Representative, removal of that work is impractical or will create conditions that are dangerous or undesirable. Just and reasonable value for such defective work will be judged by the Owner and appropriate deductions will be made in the payments due, or to become due to the Contractor.

Final acceptance does not act as a waiver of the Owner's right to recover from the Contractor an amount representing the deduction for retention of defective work.

4.10 GUARANTEE
The guarantee period is 365 days from the Notice of Completion. During the guarantee period, the Contractor must, upon the receipt of notice in writing from the Owner, promptly make all repairs arising out of defective materials, workmanship or equipment. The Owner is hereby authorized to make such repairs, if ten days after giving of such notice to the Contractor, the Contractor has failed to make or undertake the repairs with due diligence. In case of an emergency where, in the opinion of the Owner, delay could cause serious loss or damage, repairs may be made without notice to the Contractor and the expenses in connection with those repairs are chargeable to the Contractor.

For the purpose of this paragraph, "acceptance of the work" means the acceptance of the project by the Owner, in accordance with paragraph 00 72 00-7.07. "Acceptance of the work" does not extinguish any covenant or agreement on the part of the Contractor to be performed or fulfilled MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 22 of 37
under this contract that has not, in fact, been performed or fulfilled at the time of such acceptance.

All covenants and agreements continue to be binding on the Contractor until they have been fulfilled.

The Owner and the Contractor agree that guarantee on the equipment possessed and used by the Owner in accordance with paragraph 00 72 00-7.06 will commence on the date that the Owner takes possession of the equipment and so notifies the Contractor in writing. Owner and Contractor further agree that such taking possession and use may not be deemed as substantial completion or acceptance of any part of the work. Takeover of equipment will be at the Owner's option and will not be made until the equipment can be put into routine service on a permanent basis.

PART 5--LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

5.01 LIABILITY OF CONTRACTOR
The Contractor is liable for any and all losses or damages from whatever cause that, prior to final acceptance, may occur on or to any part of the work. The Contractor is not liable for losses or damages caused solely by the act of the Owner.

The Contractor is liable for damages and injury to persons owning property, on or in the vicinity of the work, or which occur to a person, persons or any property whatsoever, arising out of the Contractor's performance of this contract. The Contractor's liability is not dependent upon whether or not such damage or injury be caused by the negligence of the Contractor, and whether or not such damage or injury is caused by the inherent nature of the work as specified.

The Contractor must indemnify and hold the Owner, the Construction Manager, the design engineer, and their officers, principals, agents, subcontractors, and employees, harmless from any and all loss, defense cost, expense, claims, demand or liability whatsoever, arising from allegations of injuries to persons or damage to property related to the performance of this contract, regardless of concurrent negligence on the part of such indemnitees. This indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or any subcontractor under workers compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or another employee benefit act.

In case any suit or legal proceeding is brought against the Owner, the Construction Manager, the design engineer, or their officers, principals, agents, subcontractors, or employees, on account of loss or damage sustained by a person, or persons, or property, as a result of the performance of the work covered by this contract, the Contractor agrees to assume the cost of defense of that action, and to pay the expenses connected therewith, and the judgments that may be obtained against the Owner, the Construction Manager, the design engineer, or their officers, principals, agents, subcontractors, or employees, in such suits. In the event that a lien is placed against the property of the Owner, the Construction Manager, the design engineer, or their officers, principals, agents, subcontractors, or employees, as a result of such suits, the Contractor agrees immediately to cause the same to be dissolved and discharged by giving bond or otherwise. This agreement to defend and to pay the related expenses exists whether or not the alleged injuries or damage are due to the negligence of the Contractor, and whether or not the alleged injuries or damage are caused by the inherent nature of the work, as specified.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 23 of 37
The mention of specific duties or liabilities imposed on the Contractor are not a limitation or restriction of general duties or liabilities imposed upon the Contractor by the contract. Reference to specific duties or liabilities is made herein, merely for the purpose of explanation.

5.02 BONDS
The Contractor must provide two bonds, each in the amount of 100 percent of the contract price. One bond will serve as security for the faithful performance of the work and the other as security for the faithful payment and satisfaction of the persons furnishing materials and performing labor on the work. The bonds must be issued by a corporation duly and legally licensed to transact surety business in the State of California. The two bonds must remain in force throughout the period required to complete the work, and thereafter for a period of 365 calendar days after final acceptance of the work. The bonds must be executed by a duly licensed surety company that is listed in the latest Circular 570 of the United States Treasury Department as being acceptable as surety on federal bonds. No surety's liability on the bonds may exceed the underwriting limitations for the respective surety specified in Circular 570. The scope of the bonds or the forms thereof prescribed in these contract documents in Sections 00 61 05 and 00 61 10 in no way affect or alter the liabilities of the Contractor to the Owner.

5.03 INSURANCE
A. GENERAL:

1. EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE: Prior to execution of the contract, the Contractor must file, with the Owner, evidences of insurance from the insurer, certifying to the coverage of the insurance required herein. The evidences of insurance must be certified by a properly authorized officer, agent, general agent or qualified representative of the insurer, and must certify the names of the insured, the type and amount of insurance, the location and operations to which the insurance applies, and the expiration date. The evidences must include the agreement of the insurer to give, by registered mail, notice to the Owner at least 30 calendar days prior to the effective date of cancellation, lapse, or material change in the policy.

This Certificate of Insurance is not an insurance policy and does not amend, extend or alter the coverage afforded by the policies listed herein. Notwithstanding any requirement, term, or condition of the contract with respect to which this certificate is issued, the insurance afforded by the policies described herein is subject to the terms, exclusions, and conditions of such policies.

2. CANCELLATION OF INSURANCE: The Contractor must deliver to the Owner policies of insurance and the receipts for payment of premiums thereon. Should the Contractor neglect to obtain and maintain in force such insurance, and deliver such policy or policies and receipts to the Owner, then Owner may obtain and maintain such insurance. The Contractor hereby appoints the Owner his true and lawful attorney, to do the things necessary for this purpose. Money expended by the Owner under the provisions of this paragraph for insurance premiums will be charged to the Contractor. Failure of the Owner to obtain such insurance in no way relieves the Contractor of his responsibilities under this contract.

B. PUBLIC LIABILITY:

The Contractor must provide public liability insurance covering bodily injury, in an amount of not less than a combined single limit of four million dollars ($4,000,000) for one or more persons injured in each occurrence. This insurance must cover bodily injuries or death suffered, or alleged MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 24 of 37
to have been suffered by any person or persons by reason of or in the course of operations under this contract, whether occurring by reason of acts or omissions of the Contractor, or any subcontractor, or both. The required insurance must be maintained until final acceptance of the work and must include completed-operations and products-liability insurance, with aggregate limit in the amount specified above, and must continue for a period of 365 calendar days after final acceptance of the work.

The Contractor must provide property damage insurance in an amount of not less than a combined single limit of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for property damaged in each occurrence.

The insurance must cover damages to property suffered or alleged to have been suffered, by person, or persons, by reason of, or in the course of, the operations under the contract, whether occurring by reason of acts or omissions of the Contractor or any subcontractor or both. The required insurance must be maintained until final acceptance of the work, and must include completed operations and products liability insurance, and must continue for a period of 365 calendar days after the final acceptance of the work.

The required liability insurance must indemnify the Contractor and his subcontractors against loss from liability, imposed by law upon or assumed under contract by the Contractor or his subcontractors, for damages on account of bodily injury and property damage. The insurance must also indemnify the Contractor and his subcontractors against losses related to completed operations and products. The insurance must be contained in a comprehensive, broad-form, occurrence, bodily injury and property damage liability policy written by licensed underwriters. The policies must cover operations, owned- and nonowned-vehicles and equipment, contractors’ protective coverage blanket, contractual liability, and completed operations liability. The liability insurance must not exclude explosion, collapse, underground excavation, or removal of lateral support and must include cross liability. The Owner, the Construction Manager, the design engineer, and their officers, principals, agents, subcontractors, and employees must be named as insured on the liability policies.

C. WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE:

The Contractor and each subcontractor must cover or insure under applicable laws relating to workers compensation or employers liability insurance, their employees, working on or about the construction site, regardless of whether such coverage or insurance is mandatory or merely elective under the law. The Contractor must defend, protect, save harmless the Owner from and against claims, suits and actions arising from failure of the Contractor or the subcontractors to maintain such insurance.

D. BUILDERS RISK:

Contractor must secure an all-risk type of builders risk insurance covering work performed under the contract and the materials, equipment or other items to be incorporated therein, while the same are located at the construction site, stored off site, or at the place of manufacture. The policy must cover not less than losses due to fire, flood, explosion, hail, lightning, vandalism, malicious mischief, wind, collapse, riot, aircraft, and smoke until the date of final acceptance of the work. The policy may exclude loss or damage caused by or resulting from errors in design or from the use of substandard materials or supplies used knowingly by or at the direction of the insured, but must not exclude results, physical loss, or damage to other property covered hereunder. Neither exclusion will apply in the event of fire, explosion, or acts of God. The maximum deductible allowable under this policy is $50,000. The policies providing this insurance must name the Owner, the Construction Manager, the design engineer, and their subconsultants as additional insureds as MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 25 of 37
their respective interests appear. The making of progress payments to the Contractor does not create an insurable interest by or for the Owner or relieve the Contractor or his subcontractors of responsibility for loss or direct physical loss, damage or destruction occurring prior to final acceptance.

Consistent with California Public Contracts Code, Section 7105, builders risk insurance is not required for coverage of losses in excess of five percent of the contract price for damages resulting from earthquakes in excess of magnitude of 3.5 on the Richter scale or from tidal waves.

Coverage in the amount of five percent of the contract price for such losses must be provided by the Contractor.

PART 6--PROGRESS AND COMPLETION

6.01 NOTICE TO PROCEED
After execution of the contract by the Owner, written notice to proceed will be given by the Owner to Contractor. Notwithstanding other provisions of the contract, the Contractor is not obligated to perform work and the Owner is not obligated to accept or pay for work performed by the Contractor prior to date of the notice to proceed. The Owner's knowledge of work being performed prior to date of the notice to proceed does not obligate the Owner to accept or pay for such work.

6.02 CONTRACT TIME
A. GENERAL:

Time is of the essence of the contract. The Contractor must promptly start the work after the date of the notice to proceed and must prosecute the work so that the project is complete within the time specified in Section 01 11 05. During periods when weather or other conditions are unfavorable for construction, the Contractor will pursue only such portions of the work as will not be damaged thereby. No portions of the work where acceptable quality or efficiency will be affected by unfavorable conditions may be constructed while those conditions exist. It is expressly understood and agreed by and between the Contractor and the Owner that the contract time for completion of the work is reasonable, taking into consideration the average climatic and economic conditions and other factors prevailing in the locality of the work.

B. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE:

The Contractor shall provide a construction schedule and reports for scheduling and coordinating the work within the contract time. Contract time extensions must be incorporated into updated schedules, reflecting their effect at the time of occurrence. Failure of the Contractor to comply with these requirements for submittal of the construction schedule and reports will be cause for delay in review of progress payments by the Construction Manager.

C. CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS:

The Contractor must furnish such manpower, materials, facilities, and equipment as may be necessary to insure the prosecution and completion of the work in accordance with the accepted schedule. If work falls behind the accepted construction schedule, the Contractor agrees that he or she will take some or all of the following actions to return the project to the accepted schedule. These actions may include the following:

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 26 of 37

1. Increase manpower in quantities and crafts;

2. Increase the number of working hours per shift, shifts per working day, working days per week, or the amount of equipment, or any combination of the foregoing; and/or

3. Reschedule activities.

If requested by the Construction Manager, the Contractor shall prepare a proposed schedule revision demonstrating a plan to make up the lag in progress and insure completion of the work within the contract time. The proposed revision must be submitted to the Construction Manager in accordance with Section 01 33 00. Upon receipt of an acceptable proposed schedule, the revision to the construction schedule will be made in accordance with paragraph 01 33 00-4.

All actions to return the project to the accepted schedule are at the Contractor's expense.

The Contractor must pay all costs incurred by the Owner that result from the Contractor's action to return the project to its accepted schedule. Contractor agrees that Owner may deduct such charges from payments due the Contractor. It is further understood and agreed that none of the services performed by the Construction Manager in monitoring, reviewing, and reporting project status and progress operate to relieve the Contractor of responsibility for planning and managing construction work in conformance with the construction schedule.

D. DELAYS:

1. NOTICE OF DELAYS: When the Contractor foresees a delay in the prosecution of the work and, in any event, immediately upon the occurrence of a delay that the Contractor regards as unavoidable, he must notify the Construction Manager in writing of the probability of the occurrence of the delay, the extent of the delay, and its probable cause. The Contractor must take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuation of the delay. If this cannot be done, the Construction Manager must determine how long the delay is likely to continue and to what extent the prosecution and completion of the work are being delayed.

The Contractor must also determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable and notify the Contractor of his determination. The Contractor agrees that no claim is allowed for delays the causes of which are not called to the attention of the Construction Manager at the time of their occurrence or as soon thereafter as Contractor becomes aware of them.

2. AVOIDABLE DELAYS: Avoidable delays in the prosecution of the work include delays that could have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor or his subcontractors. Avoidable delays include:
a. Delays which may in themselves be unavoidable but which affect only a portion of the work and do not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work nor the completion of the whole work within the contract time.
b. Time associated with the reasonable interference of other contractors employed by the Owner which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the contract time.

3. UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS: Unavoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work include delays that result from causes beyond the control of the Contractor MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 27 of 37
and could not have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor or his subcontractors. Delays in completion of the work of other contractors employed by the Owner will be considered unavoidable delays insofar as they interfere with the Contractor's completion of the work. Delays due to normal weather conditions are not regarded as unavoidable because the Contractor agrees to plan his work with prudent allowances for interference by normal weather conditions. Delays caused by acts of God, fire, unusual storms, floods, tidal waves, earthquakes, strikes, labor disputes, freight embargoes and shortages of materials are considered unavoidable delays if they prevent the Contractor from proceeding with at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the normal labor and equipment force for at least five hours per day toward completion of the current controlling item on the accepted critical path schedule.

If abnormal conditions prevent the work from beginning at the usual starting time, or prevent the Contractor from proceeding with seventy-five percent (75%) of the normal labor and equipment force for a period of at least five hours per day, and the crew is dismissed as a direct consequence, Contractor will not be charged for a working day whether or not conditions change so that the major portion of the day could be considered to be suitable for work on the controlling item.

E. EXTENSION OF TIME:

1. AVOIDABLE DELAYS: If the work is not completed in the accepted construction schedule, including any extension of time that may have been granted for unavoidable delays, the Contractor will be assessed damages for those costs incurred by the Owner that are attributable to the fact that the work was not completed on schedule.

The Owner may grant an extension of time for avoidable delay if he deems it in his best interest. If the Owner grants an extension of time for avoidable delay, the Contractor agrees to pay actual costs, including charges for engineering, inspection, and administration, as specified in paragraph 00 72 00-7.04, incurred during the extension.

2. UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS: For delays that the Contractor considers to be unavoidable, he must submit to the Construction Manager complete information demonstrating the effect of the delay on the controlling operation in the accepted construction schedule. The submission must be made within 30 calendar days of the occurrence that is claimed to be the cause of the unavoidable delay. The Construction Manager will review the Contractor's submission and determine the number of days of unavoidable delay and the effect of any unavoidable delay on controlling operations of the work. The Owner agrees to grant an extension of time to the extent that unavoidable delays affect controlling operations in the construction schedule. During such extension of time, neither extra compensation, nor engineering inspection and administration, nor damages for delay will be charged to the Contractor. It is understood and agreed by the Contractor and Owner that time extensions due to unavoidable delays will be granted only if such unavoidable delays involve controlling operations which would prevent completion of the whole work within the specified contract time.

3. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: It is agreed by the parties to the contract that in case all the work called for under the contract in all parts and requirements is not finished or completed within the number of working days as set forth in Section 01 11 05, damage will be sustained by the Owner, and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual damage which the Owner will sustain in the event of and by reason of the delay; and it is therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay to the Owner, the sum of Four Hundred dollars ($400.00) per day for each and every calendar day's delay in finishing MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 28 of 37
the work in excess of the number of working days prescribed; and the Contractor agrees to pay the liquidated damages herein provided for, and further agrees that the Owner may deduct the amount thereof from any moneys due or that may become due the Contractor under the contract.

6.03 SUSPENSION PROCEDURES
The Owner may, at his convenience and at any time and without cause, suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the work for a period of not more than 90 days by notice in writing to the Contractor. The Owner must specify the date on which the work must be resumed. The work must be resumed by the Contractor within 10 days after receiving written notice from the Owner to do so. The Contractor will be allowed an increase in the contract price or an extension of contract time, or both, directly attributable to any suspension if he makes a claim therefore as provided in the paragraphs related to change of contract price and change of contract time.

6.04 TERMINATION PROCEDURES
A. TERMINATION BY OWNER FOR DEFAULT:

The Owner may terminate the contract upon 7 days written notice to Contractor and his surety whenever the Contractor is deemed to be in default or if Contractor fails to fulfill, in a timely and proper manner, the contract obligations, or is in violation of any provisions or covenants of the contract.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Contractor is in default if any one or more of the following events occurs:

1. Contractor is bankrupt or insolvent.

2. Contractor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

3. A trustee or receiver is appointed for Contractor, or for any of Contractor's property.

4. Contractor files a petition to take advantage of any debtor's act, or to reorganize under any bankruptcy chapter or law.

5. Contractor repeatedly fails to make prompt payments to subcontractors or others for labor, materials, or equipment.

6. Contractor disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders of any public body having jurisdiction.

7. Contractor disregards the authority of Construction Manager.

8. Contractor violates in any substantial way the provisions of the contract documents by failing, neglecting, or refusing to proceed according to and in full compliance with the provisions and covenants of the contract documents.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 29 of 37
After termination of the Contract for default, the Owner may exclude the Contractor from the site and take possession of the work and all of the Contractor's tools, appliances, construction equipment, and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used by the Contractor. The Owner may incorporate in the work all materials stored at the site or for which the Owner has paid the Contractor that are stored elsewhere. In such case, the Contractor is not entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished.

If the unpaid balance of the contract price exceeds the direct and indirect cost of the completed work, including compensation for additional professional services, the excess must be paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The costs incurred by the Owner will be verified by the Construction Manager and incorporated into a change order, but in finishing the work, the Owner will not be required to obtain the lowest figure for work performed.

Where the Contractor's services have been so terminated by the Owner, the termination does not affect any rights of the Owner against the Contractor then existing or that may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of monies due the Contractor by the Owner will not release the Contractor from liability.

If the Owner terminates this agreement for default, and it is thereafter determined that the Contractor had not so failed to perform its obligations or defaulted in any way, the termination will then be deemed to have been effected for the convenience of the Owner. In that event, any adjustment of compensation to Contractor must be in accordance with paragraph 00 72 00-6.04 B.

B. TERMINATION BY OWNER FOR OTHER THAN DEFAULT:

The Owner may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have under the provisions of the contract, terminate this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by giving written notice to Contractor or its representative by certified mail, return receipt requested. Termination is effective upon receipt of the notice by Contractor. Contractor must immediately discontinue work and take all reasonable steps with its suppliers and subcontractors to minimize cancellation charges and other costs.

In the event of termination for reasons other than default of Contractor, Contractor is entitled to recover all reasonable costs incurred in connection with performance of the work, plus any cost and expense reasonably and necessarily incurred in connection with the termination, plus a percentage of the profit based on the percentage of completion of the work.

C. TERMINATION BY CONTRACTOR:

If the work is stopped by order of a court, a public authority or the Owner for a period of 90 calendar days or more, through no act or fault of the Contractor or anyone employed by him or his subcontractors, then the Contractor may terminate the contract upon 10 calendar days written notice to the Owner. Upon receipt of the written notice, the Owner must implement procedures as set forth in paragraph 00 72 00-6.04 B.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 30 of 37
PART 7--MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

7.01 PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
A. BREAKDOWN OF CONTRACT PRICES:

Except in cases where unit prices form the basis for payment under the contract, the Contractor must, within 20 days of receipt of the notice to proceed, submit a breakdown of the contract price showing the value assigned to each part of the work including an allowance for profit and overhead. In submitting the breakdown, the Contractor certifies that it is not unbalanced and that the value assigned to each part of the work represents his estimate of the actual cost, including profit and overhead, of performing that part of the work. The breakdown must be sufficiently detailed to permit its use by the Construction Manager as one of the bases for evaluating requests for payment.

B. PROJECT STATUS REVIEW:

Contractor and Construction Manager shall meet each month prior to the Contractor submitting the progress payment request for the previous month. The purpose of the meeting is to review project status in relation to the construction schedule; review value of work completed during the previous month; and, if applicable, review Contractor's plans to return project status to that required by the schedule. Within 5 days following this meeting, the Contractor shall submit a written progress report comprising:

1. A copy of the current construction schedule marked up to indicate percent complete, actual completion or start dates since the previous review, and the estimated remaining duration for each activity in progress.

2. Reasons any activities are behind schedule and a description of the corrective steps being taken.

C. PROGRESS PAYMENTS:

1. PAYMENT REQUEST PROCEDURES: By the 5th day of each month, the Contractor must submit to the Construction Manager a partial-payment estimate, filled out and signed by the Contractor, covering acceptable work performed during the previous month or since the last partial payment estimate was submitted. If requested by the Construction Manager, the Contractor must provide additional data to support the payment estimate. Additional data may include satisfactory evidence of payment for equipment, materials, and labor including payments to subcontractors and suppliers. Requests for payment for delivered equipment and material must be accompanied by certified invoices by the suppliers. Such equipment and material must be suitably and safely stored at the site of the work.

2. REVIEW PROCEDURES: Within 7 days after receipt of the partial payment estimate, the Construction Manager will review the estimate and either (a) indicate in writing to the Owner's Representative his concurrence with the estimate and his recommendation that payment be made or (b) indicate in writing to the Contractor his reasons for not concurring with the estimate.

If the Construction Manager recommends payment and the Owner's Representative concurs, the Owner will, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Construction Manager's recommendation, pay the Contractor a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial-payment estimate.

The payments will take into account the retention provisions provided for herein.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 31 of 37
In the event the Construction Manager does not concur with the estimate, the Contractor may make the changes necessary to obtain the Construction Manager's concurrence and resubmit the partial-payment estimate, or submit the original progress-payment estimate directly to the Owner's Representative, indicating in writing his reasons for refusing to make the changes necessary to obtain concurrence.

3. RETENTION: The Owner will retain a percentage of each payment except as specified below in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 7201. The retained amount is available for the protection and payment of the person, or persons, mechanics, subcontractors, or materialmen who perform labor or work under the contract, and persons who supply such person, persons or subcontractors with components and supplies for carrying on such work.

The Owner will retain 5 percent of each progress payment.

Under no circumstances shall any provision of this section be construed to limit the ability of the Owner to withhold 150 percent of the value of any disputed amount of work from the final payment, as provided for in Section 7107 of the Public Contract Code. In the event of a good faith dispute, nothing in this section shall be construed to require the Owner to pay for work that is not approved or accepted in accordance with the proper plans or specifications.

4. WITHHOLDING: The Construction Manager may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if in the Construction Manager's opinion it would be incorrect to make such recommendation to the Owner. The Construction Manager may also refuse to recommend any payment, or because of subsequently discovered evidence or the result of any tests, may nullify any payment previously recommended to such extent as may be necessary in the Construction Manager's opinion to protect the Owner from loss as a result of:
a. Defective or damaged work.
b. A deductive change order.
c. Persistent failure of the Contractor to perform the work in accordance with the contract documents, including failure to maintain the progress of the work in accordance with the construction schedule. Persistent failure to maintain the progress of the work means that for a period of two consecutive months following a written notice from the Construction Manager, the Contractor fails to correct a behind-schedule condition at a rate that would reasonably indicate that he will finish the project on schedule. d. Disregard of authority of the Construction Manager or the laws of any public agency having jurisdiction.

The Owner may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by the Construction Manager because of claims made against the Owner on account of Contractor's performance or furnishing of the work or because liens have been filed in connection with the work or because there are other items entitling Owner to reduce the amount recommended. In such case, the Owner will give Contractor prompt written notice with a copy to the Construction Manager stating the reasons for each action.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 32 of 37

5. STOP PAYMENT NOTICES: The Owner, by and through the Construction Manager or other authorized officers, may at its option and at any time retain out of any amounts due the Contractor, sums sufficient to cover claims filed pursuant to Section 3179, et seq., of the Civil Code of the State of California.

6. PROMPT PAYMENT: Prompt payment for partial-payment estimates will be made in accordance to Public Contracts Code Section 20104.50.

D. FINAL PAYMENT:

On the condition that no liens or claims are outstanding, Owner will make final payment to the Contractor in the manner provided by law following the expiration of 35 calendar days after acceptance of the work and filing of the notice of completion by the Owner. Final payment must include the entire sum found to be due under this contract after deducting previous payments and such other lawful amounts as the terms of this contract describe. Prior estimates and payments, including those relating to extra work or work omitted, are subject to correction by the final payment.

Acceptance by the Contractor of final payments as acts as a release to the Owner of all claims by and all liability to the Contractor other than claims in stated amounts that may be specifically excepted by the Contractor for things done or furnished in connection with this work and for every act and neglect of the Owner and others relating to or arising out of this work.

Payment by the Owner does not release the Contractor or his surety from any obligation under the contract or under the performance bond and payment bonds.

7.02 CHANGE ORDERS
A. GENERAL:

The Owner may, at any time, without notice to the sureties, by written order designated or indicated to be a change order, make any change in the work within the general scope of the contract, including but not limited to the following changes:

1. In the specifications (including drawings and designs).

2. In the method or manner of performance of the work.

3. In the Owner-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services, or site.

4. Directing acceleration in the performance of the work.

Any other written order or an oral order (which terms as used in this paragraph shall include direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination) from the Owner, that causes any such change, must be treated as a change order under this clause, if the Contractor gives the Owner written notice stating the date, circumstances, and source of the order and if the Contractor regards the order as a change order.

Except as provided in this clause, no order, statement, or conduct of the Owner is or may be treated as a change order under this clause nor does it entitle the Contractor to an equitable adjustment.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 33 of 37
If any change under this clause causes an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether or not changed by any order, an equitable adjustment must be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. However, except for claims based on defective specifications, claims will not be allowed for any costs incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor gives written notice as required. Also, in the case of defective specifications for which the Owner is responsible, the equitable adjustment includes any increased cost reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with such defective specifications.

If the Contractor intends to assert a claim for an equitable adjustment under this clause, he must, within 30 days after receipt of a written change order or the furnishing of a written notice, submit to the Owner a written statement setting forth the general nature and monetary extent of such claim, unless the Owner extends this period. The statement of claim hereunder may be included in the notice.

A claim by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment will not be allowed if it is asserted after final payment under this contract.

B. EXTRA WORK:

Extra work means providing materials and equipment and performing work not directly or by implication called for by the contract. Changes in measured quantity under a unit price contract or item are not extra work. If the Owner requires extra work he may (1) do it himself, (2) employ others to do it, (3) direct the Contractor to perform the extra work at unit bid price or a combination of such items, (4) direct the Contractor to perform the extra work at a mutually agreed upon lump sum, or (5) direct the Contractor to perform the extra work on a time and expense basis.

C. OMITTED WORK:

The Owner may, by written order to the Contractor, omit work, equipment, and material to be provided under the contract, and the value of the omitted work, equipment and material will be deducted from the contract price. The deducted value will be a lump sum or unit bid price agreed upon in writing by the Contractor and Owner based on the breakdown and cost information submitted by the Contractor.

D. UNIT BID PRICE CHANGE:

Increases or decreases in the quantity of a contract item of work that was bid on a unit basis will be made by comparing the total pay quantity of such item of work with the Construction Manager's estimate. When changes in quantities exceed 25 percent of the original bid quantity and the total dollar change of that bid item is significant, the Owner will review the unit price to determine if a new unit price should be negotiated. Methods for Changed Quantity Payment Adjustments shall be those specified in the Caltrans Standard Specifications, latest edition.

E. LUMP SUM CHANGES:

Whenever the Contractor is directed to perform extra work on a lump-sum basis, changes in contract price resulting from the extra work will be based on a mutually agreed upon lump-sum price. The Contractor's proposal for such changes must include a detailed breakdown of labor and materials costs for the extra work to be performed by his forces and the forces of his subcontractors or material suppliers as may be required. The breakdown must include any labor MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 34 of 37
surcharge and any sales- or use-tax cost. Whenever the Owner requests that the Contractor prepare a lump-sum price in connection with a change order, the Contractor is entitled to the costs incurred in the preparation of that price whether or not the lump-sum amount is finally accepted by the Owner. Those costs will be incorporated in the lump-sum amount.

Compensation for the extra work will be based on the direct costs as listed in the detailed proposal, plus a mutually agreed upon percent of direct costs for overhead and profit, plus one percent (1%) of those direct costs for bond. The allowance for overhead and profit must include full compensation for overhead, including superintendence, and additional overhead attributable to a time extension granted because of the change order and no separate charge may be made for overhead.

When the change order involves work omitted, the reduction of the contract price will be based on the direct costs listed in the detailed proposal submitted by the Contractor. An additional reduction may be made of an amount that is identified as reduced overhead costs attributable to the work omitted. No reduction will be made for profit originally attributable to the omitted work.

F. TIME AND EXPENSE CHANGES:

1. GENERAL: Whenever the Contractor is directed to perform extra work on a time and expense basis, he or she will maintain accurate records. Each day a record of labor, materials, and equipment costs will be submitted to the Construction Manager for verification.

These records will reflect the actual and necessary expenses pertaining to the extra work and will be available for audit. Audits conducted under this provision must be in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and established procedures and guidelines of the reviewing or audit agency(ies).

Payment to the Contractor for extra work performed on a time-and-expense basis will consist of the actual necessary expense for doing the extra work, plus an allowance of 15 percent of labor, material and equipment rental for overhead, general superintendence and profits, plus one percent (1%) of those direct costs for bond. This basis of payment applies to work done directly by the Contractor and to work done by a subcontractor, except the one percent (1%) allowance for bond does not apply to work performed by a subcontractor. When the work is done by a subcontractor, the Contractor may add five percent (5%) to the subcontractor's charges to cover overhead and profit and one percent (1%) for bond.

In determining time-and-expense compensation, the term "actual necessary expense" means the sum of (1) materials and equipment, (2) labor, (3) supervision, (4) construction equipment, (5) professional services, and (6) other costs. “Charges” for such items means the actual cost whether incurred by the Contractor, a subcontractor or others. The items making up "actual necessary expense" are defined as follows:

2. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT: Materials and equipment means costs for materials and equipment provided by the Contractor and necessarily used in the work includes applicable taxes.

3. LABOR: The cost of labor will be the sum of actual wages paid, labor surcharge, and subsistence and travel allowances. Actual wages paid include employer payments to or on behalf of the worker for health and welfare, pension, vacation and similar purposes. The labor surcharge includes applicable labor-related taxes, Workers Compensation Insurance premiums, public liability and property damage insurance premiums, and other legally required MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 35 of 37
costs directly related to labor. Where subsistence and travel allowance are required for performance of extra work, the charges include the actual amount paid to each worker for these items.

4. SUPERVISION: If, in the Owner's judgment, full-time supervision of the extra work is required, it will be authorized in writing by the Construction Manager and charges for that supervision will be included as an actual necessary expense. Charges for supervision of the extra work by the Contractor's representative are not part of actual necessary expense.

5. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT: Charges for the use of construction equipment required in the performance of extra work will be based on rental rates set forth in the State of California then-current official published document covering rental of equipment used on force account work. For equipment not listed in that document, the rental rate will be as listed by the local section of the Associated General Contractors. If the equipment is not listed by the Associated General Contractors, the rental rate will be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Contractor and Owner prior to the use of the unlisted equipment. The reasonable cost of moving equipment onto and off the job site will be included, but equipment rental will not be paid when the equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns. Individual pieces of equipment or small tools having a replacement value of $100 or less are considered expendable and no payment will be made for these.

When equipment is used on the extra work for less than five days, hourly rates will be used.

Less than 30 minutes of operation is considered one-half hour of operations. When equipment is used on the extra work for more than five days, daily rates apply. In that case, less than four hours of operation is considered to be one-half day of operation.

6. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: Professional services are included in "actual necessary expense" provided both that the Owner has determined that such services are necessary and the Construction Manager has authorized in writing the provision of such services.

7. OTHER COSTS: Charges for items not included in paragraphs 7.02 F.1 through 6 may be included as "actual necessary expense" if such additional items are authorized in advance and in writing by the Construction Manager.

7.03 CHARGES TO CONTRACTOR
Everything charged to the Contractor under the terms of this contract must be paid by the Contractor to the Owner on demand. Such charges may be deducted by the Owner from money due or to become due to the Contractor under the contract. The Owner may recover such charges from the Contractor or from his surety.

7.04 COMPENSATION TO OWNER FOR TIME EXTENSION
The Owner, in exchange for granting an extension of time for avoidable delay, must be compensated by the Contractor for the actual costs to the Owner of engineering, inspection, general supervision, and overhead expenses that are directly chargeable to the work and accrue during the period of such extension. The actual costs do not include charges for final inspection and preparation of the final estimate by the Owner.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 36 of 37

7.05 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
The Contractor, on considering the work to be substantially complete and ready for its intended use, shall so notify the Construction Manager in writing. The notification must include an itemized list of remaining incomplete work. If the Construction Manager determines that the work is not substantially complete, he or she will so notify the Contractor in writing identifying the reasons for such a determination. If the Construction Manager finds the work substantially complete, he or she will meet with the Contractor to (1) prepare a punch list of incomplete items of work; (2) define the division of responsibility between Owner and Contractor with respect to security, operation, maintenance, utilities, insurance, and warranties; and (3) describe any other issues related to acceptance of the substantially completed work. Upon reaching agreement with the Contractor, the Construction Manager will write to the Owner, certifying that the work is substantially complete, listing the items of incomplete work, stating the date for completion of incomplete work, defining the division of responsibilities, and setting forth any other terms related to acceptance.

The Owner, who has sole discretion for determination of substantial completion, will review the Construction Manager's certification that the work is substantially complete and concurring with that certification, will notify the Contractor, in writing, that the work is accepted as substantially complete. Except for any portion(s) of work specified for early completion or required by the Owner for early possession (paragraph 00 72 00-7.06), substantial completion will not occur for any work until the entire project is ready for possession and use. The acceptance notice will include a punch list of incomplete work items, set the date for their completion, describe the division of responsibility between the Owner and Contractor, and describe any other terms of acceptance. The Contractor will acknowledge receipt of the acceptance notice in writing, indicating acceptance of all of its terms and provisions.

Upon receipt of the Contractor's acknowledgment letter, the Owner may take possession of the work or portion of the work and put it into its intended service. The date that the work or portion of the work is put into service will become the date of substantial completion. Unless otherwise specified, warranties will begin on the date of substantial completion.

Subsequent to the substantial completion date, the Owner may exclude the Contractor from the work during such periods when construction activities might interfere with the operation of the project. The Owner, however, shall allow the Contractor reasonable access for completion or correction of incomplete punch list items.

7.06 POSSESSION OF PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT
Should the Contractor fail to meet any date specified for substantial completion of the work or any portion of the work requiring early possession and use by the Owner, the Owner may, after a 10-day written notice to the Contractor, take over such portion or all of the work that is behind schedule. In such case, the Construction Manager will prepare a punch list of incomplete work.

The Owner may allow the Contractor reasonable access to the work at such times that the operation of the project will not be affected or the Owner may complete the work itself after giving the Contractor notice of his intention to do so. The cost of Owner's work will be charged to and deducted from amounts due to the Contractor. The substantial completion date will be established as the date when the Owner actually begins using the project or a portion of the project for its intended purpose. Division of responsibilities between Owner and Contractor, beginning of warranties, and any other issues relating to substantial completion will be as specified in paragraph 00 72 00-7.05.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 37 of 37

7.07 ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROJECT
Upon completion of the work, including portions of the work previously accepted as substantially complete, the Contractor must notify the Construction Manager, in writing, that the work is complete. Upon receipt of the notification, the Construction Manager will determine if the work conforms to the terms of the contract. If the Construction Manager finds materials, equipment, or workmanship that do not meet the terms of the contract, he or she will prepare a punch list of non-conforming items and submit it to the Contractor. Following completion of the corrective work by the Contractor, the Construction Manager must notify the Owner that the work has been completed in accordance with the contract. Final determination of the acceptability will be made by the Owner. Upon acceptance of the project, the Owner will immediately file a notice of completion. For portions of the project not previously accepted as substantially complete, the conditions of guarantee commence on the date that the Owner files a notice of completion.

The final application for payment must be accompanied by all required documentation called for in the contract, including complete and legally effective releases or waivers of liens in a form acceptable to Owner. Subject to prior approval of Owner, Contractor may submit in lieu of the lien releases and waivers: (1) receipts of releases in full; (2) an affidavit that the releases and receipts cover all labor, services, materials, and equipment for which a lien could be filed and that all payrolls, materials, and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with the work for which Owner or Owner's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied; and (3) consent of the surety, if any, to final payment. If any subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish a release or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any lien.

If, after reviewing the Contractor's final application for payment, including all documentation required, the Construction Manager determines that the work is complete, he or she will recommend that final payment, including all retainages, be made by the Owner. The final payment will be due and payable by the Owner within 30 days after any legal notice periods have expired.

2.0 CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Contractor will be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in each submittal and must assure that the material, equipment or method of work will be as described in the submittal. The Contractor must verify that all features of all products conform to the specified requirements. Submittal documents must be clearly edited to indicate only those items, models, or series of equipment, which are being submitted for review. All extraneous materials must be crossed out or otherwise obliterated. The Contractor must ensure that there is no conflict with other submittals and notify the Construction Manager in each case where his submittal may affect the work of another contractor or the Owner. The Contractor must coordinate submittals among his subcontractors and suppliers including those submittals complying with unit responsibility requirements specified in applicable technical sections.

The Contractor must coordinate submittals with the work so that work will not be delayed.

The Contractor shall coordinate and schedule different categories of submittals, so that one will not be delayed for lack of coordination with another. No extension of time will be allowed because of failure to properly schedule submittals. The Contractor must not proceed with work related to a submittal until the submittal process is complete.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
01 33 00 - SUBMITTALS 2 of 5

3.0 CATEGORIES OF SUBMITTALS
A. GENERAL:

Submittals fall into two general categories; submittals for review and comment, and submittals which are primarily for information only. Submittals that are for information only are generally specified as PRODUCT DATA in Part 2 of applicable specification sections.

A copy of each specification section, with addendum updates included, and all referenced and applicable sections, with addendum updates included, with each paragraph check-marked to indicate specification compliance or marked to indicate requested deviations from specification requirements. Check marks () denote full compliance with a paragraph as a whole. If deviations from the specifications are indicated, and therefore requested by the Contractor, each deviation must be underlined and denoted by a number in the margin to the right of the identified paragraph, referenced to a detailed written explanation of the reasons for requesting the deviation. The Construction Manager will be the final authority for determining acceptability of requested deviations. The remaining portions of the paragraph not underlined will signify compliance on the part of the Contractor with the specifications. Failure to include a copy of the marked-up specification sections, along with justification(s) for any requested deviations to the specification requirements, with the submittal will be sufficient cause for rejection of the entire submittal with no further consideration.

The Contractor shall submit a submittal schedule listing all submittals and associated submittal dates. Two separate lists must be provided: submittals for review and comment and product data (submittals) for information only. No submittals will be reviewed without a submittal schedule. Three (3) copies of the submittal schedule must be provided to the Construction Manager within 15 days of the pre-construction meeting. The schedule must be updated weekly with approval or rejection notes and dates, re-submittals with associated dates, and any additional information as required by the Construction Manager.

The Contractor shall maintain an accurate submittal log in a form acceptable to the Construction Manager, for the duration of the Contract. Show current status of all submittals at all times. Make the submittal log available for the Construction Manager’s review upon request and with each submittal.

B. SUBMITTALS FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT:

All submittals except where specified to be submitted as product data for information only must be submitted by the Contractor to the Construction Manager for review and comment.

C. SUBMITTALS (PRODUCT DATA) FOR INFORMATION ONLY:

Where specified, the Contractor shall furnish submittals (product data) to the Construction Manager for Information only. If the Construction Manager is dissatisfied with any submittal, submitted as Product Data, or for information only, they may be reviewed and commented upon.

MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
01 33 00 - SUBMITTALS 3 of 5

4.0 TRANSMITTAL PROCEDURE
A. GENERAL:

Unless otherwise specified, submittals regarding material and equipment must be accompanied by Transmittal Form 01300-A specified in Section 00 62 00. A separate form must be used for each specific item, class of material, equipment, and items specified in separate, discrete sections, for which the submittal is required. Submittal documents common to more than one piece of equipment must be identified with all the appropriate equipment numbers. Submittals for various items may be made with a single form when the items taken together constitute a manufacturer's package or are so functionally related that expediency indicates checking or review of the group or package as a whole.

A unique number, sequentially assigned, must be noted on the transmittal form accompanying each item submitted. Original submittal numbers will have the following format:
"XXX"; where "XXX" is the sequential number assigned by the Contractor. Resubmittals will have the following format: "XXX-Y"; where "XXX" is the originally assigned submittal number and "Y" is a sequential letter assigned for resubmittals, i.e., A, B, or C being the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd resubmittals, respectively. Submittal 25B, for example, is the second resubmittal of submittal 25.

B. DEVIATION FROM CONTRACT:

If the Contractor proposes to provide material, equipment, or method of work that deviates from the project manual, he or she must so indicate under "deviations" on the transmittal form accompanying the submittal copies.

C. SUBMITTAL COMPLETENESS:

Submittals which do not have all the information required to be submitted, including deviations, are not acceptable and will be returned without review.

5.0 REVIEW PROCEDURE
A. GENERAL:

Submittals are specified for those features and characteristics of materials, equipment, and methods of operation which can be selected based on the Contractor's judgment of their conformance to the specified requirements. Other features and characteristics are specified in a manner that enables the Contractor to determine acceptable options without submittals. The review procedure is based on the Contractor's guarantee that all features and characteristics not requiring submittals conform as specified. Review will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or to verifying quantities, dimensions, weights or gages, or fabrication processes (except where specifically indicated or required by the project manual) or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. Review of a separate item, as such, will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions.

When the contract documents require a submittal, the Contractor shall submit the specified information as follows:

1. Three (3) copies of all submitted information plus one reproducible original of all information must be transmitted with submittals for review and MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
01 33 00 - SUBMITTALS 4 of 5
comment. The reproducible original must be submitted in a three ring binder with spine identification, cover identification, and table of contents and index tabs to indentify the various items. Contractor is also advised to submit these documents in electronic (pdf) format, to expedite Engineer’s approval process.

2. Unless otherwise specified, 4 copies of all submitted information must be transmitted with submittals (Product Data) for information only.

B. SUBMITTALS FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT:

Unless otherwise specified, within 30 calendar days after receipt of a submittal for review and comment, the Construction Manager shall review the submittal and return 2 copies of the marked-up reproducible original noted in 1 above. The reproducible original will be retained by the Construction Manager. The returned submittal will indicate one of the following actions:

1. If the review indicates that the material, equipment or work method complies with the project manual, submittal copies will be marked "NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN." In this event, the Contractor may begin to implement the work method or incorporate the material or equipment covered by the submittal.

2. If the review indicates limited corrections are required, copies will be marked "MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED." The Contractor may begin
implementing the work method or incorporating the material and equipment covered by the submittal in accordance with the noted corrections.

3. If the review reveals that the submittal is insufficient or contains incorrect data, copies will be marked "AMEND AND RESUBMIT." Except at his own risk, the Contractor may not undertake work covered by this submittal until it has been revised, resubmitted and returned marked either "NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN" or "MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED."

4. If the review indicates that the material, equipment, or work method does not comply with the project manual, copies of the submittal will be marked "REJECTED - SEE REMARKS." Submittals with deviations that have not been identified clearly may be rejected. Except at his own risk, the Contractor may not undertake the work covered by such submittals until a new submittal is made and returned marked either "NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN" or "MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED."
C. SUBMITTALS (PRODUCT DATA) FOR INFORMATION ONLY:

Such information is not subject to submittal review procedures and will be provided as part of the work under this contract and its acceptability determined under normal inspection procedures.

6.0 EFFECT OF REVIEW OF CONTRACTOR'S SUBMITTALS
Review of contract drawings, methods of work, or information regarding materials or equipment the Contractor proposes to provide, will not relieve the Contractor of his or her responsibility for errors therein and may not be regarded as an assumption of risks or liability by the MEASURE S STREET IMPROVEMENTS FALL 2025
01 33 00 - SUBMITTALS 5 of 5
Construction Manager or the Owner, or by any officer or employee thereof, and the Contractor will have no claim under the contract on account of the failure, or partial failure, of the method of work, material, or equipment so reviewed. A mark of "NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN" or "MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED" means that the Owner has no objection to the Contractor, upon his own responsibility, using the plan or method of work proposed, or providing the materials or equipment proposed.
