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.
LIGHTHOUSE COVE - CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 31 of 37
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 behindschedule 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.
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 to 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 AUGUST 1, 2026 LIGHTHOUSE COVE - CABIN PROJECT
32 of 37 00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
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.
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.
LIGHTHOUSE COVE - CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 33 of 37
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 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.
AUGUST 1, 2026 LIGHTHOUSE COVE - CABIN PROJECT
34 of 37 00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
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 CHARGES:
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 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 LIGHTHOUSE COVE - CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 35 of 37
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.
7.05 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
The Contractor, upon 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.
AUGUST 1, 2026 LIGHTHOUSE COVE - CABIN PROJECT
36 of 37 00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
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 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.
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 nonconforming 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 LIGHTHOUSE COVE - CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
00 72 00 – GENERAL CONDITIONS 37 of 37
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.

The Contractor may authorize in writing a material or equipment supplier to deal directly with the Construction Manager or with the Owner with regard to a submittal. These dealings will be limited to contract interpretations to clarify and expedite the work.
LIGHTHOUSE COVE – CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
2 of 5 01 33 00 – SUBMITTALS
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.
LIGHTHOUSE COVE – CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
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 LIGHTHOUSE COVE – CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
4 of 5 01 33 00 – SUBMITTALS
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 identify 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 LIGHTHOUSE COVE – CABIN PROJECT AUGUST 1, 2026
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.

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Direct staff to prepare an application for California Department of Transportation funding through the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program for the Redwood Highway Multi-modal Transportation & Land Use Plan (MTLUP) in the amount of up to $600,000 on behalf of the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission.
• Approve a letter to the California Department of Transportation endorsing the Redwood Highway Multi-modal Transportation & Land Use Plan (MTLUP) project.
BACKGROUND
The Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program was created to support the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) Mission: Improving lives and communities through transportation.
The California Legislature passed, and Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed into law, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1, Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) – The Road Repair and accountability Act of 2017, a transportation funding bill that provides a reliable fund source to maintain and integrate the State’s multimodal transportation system. In addition to the $10 million in traditional State and federal grants, approximately $25 million in SB 1 funds for Sustainable Communities Grants is available for each grant cycle.
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING GRANT APPLICATION
SEPTEMBER 8, 2026
2 The State-funded Sustainable Communities grants ($30.4 million) are intended to support and implement Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Sustainable Communities Strategies/Alternative Planning Strategies (SCS/APS) (where applicable) and to ultimately achieve the State’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target of 40 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 2050, respectively.
The federal-funded Strategic Partnerships and Strategic Partnership Transit grants ($4.5 million) support Federal Planning Factors and address State highway/transit issues of regional, interregional, and/or statewide significance, in partnership with Caltrans.
Eligible planning projects must have a transportation nexus per Article XIX Sections 2 and 3 of the California Constitution. Therefore, successful planning projects are expected to directly benefit the multimodal transportation system. These grants will also improve public health, social equity, environmental justice, the environment, and provide other important community benefits. The period of grant fund availability spans over three fiscal years and approximately 32 months for grant project activities after the grant agreement is executed and Caltrans issues a Notice to Proceed.
On November 17, 2025, Council directed staff to prepare an application under the fiscal year (FY) 2026-27 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Call for Applications under the Sustainable Communities Grants sub-category for the Redwood Highway Multi-modal Transportation & Land Use Plan project in the amount of $443,353, however, the City was not selected for award.
On August 18, 2026, Caltrans released the fiscal year (FY) 2027-28 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Call for Applications.
ITEM ANALYSIS
City staff met with Caltrans staff in late July to get feedback on the FY26-27 application and was strongly encouraged to resubmit with the next Call for Applications (FY27-28).
It was also determined that the City’s project may be a better fit under the Strategic Partnerships program, rather than the Sustainable Communities program. Applicants under this category must be either a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) or Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), which means that the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission would need to be the applicant, rather than the City.
On August 25, 2026, City staff took a request for the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission (LTC) to, both, (1) provide the grant match (up to $120,000) and (2) serve as the applicant and lead agency for the FY27-28 Strategic Partnerships grant application to the LTC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The request was approved by the committee and on September 1, 2026 the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission unanimously directed staff to proceed with the application and agendize the approval of the match funding on their October 6th meeting
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING GRANT APPLICATION
SEPTEMBER 8, 2026
3 With LTC as the applicant and lead agency, City staff will still manage the project from start to finish as an extension of the Downtown Specific Plan.
Currently, the Highway 101 corridor through downtown is not an integrated land use and transportation corridor. While this reach of Highway 101 adequately addresses throughtraffic and vehicle mobility, it is not a complete street because it does not integrate adjacent existing or potential land uses, nor does it include adequate facilities for walking, biking and transit modes. With the City's Downtown Specific Plan currently underway, it has become apparent that a critical piece to ensuring a more successful downtown will be to capture some of the traffic from Highway 101 and guide these visitors to the downtown corridor. City staff sees the Sustainable Transportation Grant as a great opportunity to further study and plan for the following elements along Highway 101 from Northcrest to the southern boundary of the City:
• Safety and accessibility for all users
• Multi-modal transportation options
• Link to downtown and harbor districts
• Traffic calming (i.e. narrowing of lanes or "road diet") • Improvements to aesthetics (i.e. landscaping reflective of the City's connection to its natural resources)
With this funding, the City can plan for a more pedestrian and bike friendly Highway 101 corridor with wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes, comfortable transit shelters, and seamless connectivity to the downtown and harbor districts. The estimated timeline is as follows:
Submit application October 9, 2026
Award announcements Spring 2027
Contract execution Spring 2027
Project begins Summer 2027
Grant expenditure deadline June 2030
.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
This grant requires a 20% match which the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission unanimously directed staff to agendize in there October meeting in an amount not to exceed $120,000. With the anticipated DNLTC approval of this match, there is no fiscal impact to the City, aside from the staff time involved in writing the grant and managing the project.

RE: Letter of Support – Redwood Highway Multi-modal Transportation and Land Use Plan
Dear Ms. Leighton,
On behalf of the City of Crescent City, I am pleased to express our strong support for the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission's application for funding to develop the Redwood Highway Multimodal Transportation and Land Use Plan.
The Redwood Highway (U.S. 101) is one of the most important transportation and economic corridors in Crescent City and Del Norte County. In addition to serving as a primary regional transportation route, Highway 101 provides access to local businesses, neighborhoods, employment centers, visitor destinations, and community services. As a gateway to the Redwood Coast, the corridor also plays an important role in introducing visitors to Crescent City and the surrounding region.
The proposed plan will provide an important opportunity to evaluate the corridor comprehensively and identify improvements that better accommodate walking, bicycling, transit, automobiles, and other modes of transportation. The plan will also examine how transportation investments can support appropriate land uses, encourage economic development, improve safety and connectivity, and create a more attractive and functional gateway into the community.
This effort is particularly important because the existing corridor is heavily automobileoriented and has limited facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. A coordinated multimodal and land use planning process will help the City establish a longterm vision for the corridor while identifying practical projects and strategies that can be implemented over time.
We also appreciate the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission's intent to coordinate closely with the City, as well as Caltrans, Del Norte County, Redwood Coast Regional Transit Authority, local businesses, property owners, community organizations, and other stakeholders. This collaborative approach will help ensure that the resulting plan reflects the needs of the community while being consistent with regional and state transportation objectives.
The Redwood Highway corridor represents a significant opportunity to strengthen Crescent City’s economy, improve mobility and safety, support tourism, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents and visitors. The development of a comprehensive multimodal transportation and land use plan is an important first step toward realizing that opportunity.
For these reasons, the City of Crescent City strongly supports the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission’s application for funding for the Redwood Highway Multimodal Transportation and Land Use Plan. We encourage the California Department of Transportation's Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program to support this important planning effort.
Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Isaiah Wright

ANALYSIS
The Del Norte Local Transportation Commission has identified the Northcrest Corridor Project as a priority project for the region. The proposed project consists of pedestrian and bicycle improvements for Northcrest Drive from U.S. 101 to Blackwell Lane.
Improvements to this corridor would include designing ADA improvements where the current walkways are out of compliance. The need for Northcrest corridor improvements is also supported by injury-fatality rate statistics. Improving pedestrian and bicycle routes would benefit both the City and County communities.
Northcrest Drive is the busiest roadway through the City not including the state highway.
The City has jurisdiction of Northcrest Drive from Highway 101 to Harding Avenue. The properties on the west side of Northcrest from Harding to Washington Boulevard are also included in the City. Northcrest Drive itself is the responsibility of the County from the north side of Harding to Blackwell Avenue.
This corridor analysis will provide elements of design and justification for future grants and publicly funded street improvement projects. These improvements will benefit the pedestrians and bicyclists utilizing the corridor, but it will also benefit the businesses in the area. Access will be improved to social service providers, local retail centers, schools down Harding and Washington, as well as a charter school with access on Northcrest Drive. There are also many residential areas which are located adjacent to this length of Northcrest that will benefit from the improvements.
SUPPORT FOR NORTHCREST CORRIDOR PLANNING GRANT
September 8, 2026
3 The City and County have jointly requested that the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission (DNLTC) apply for funding through the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program for the Northcrest Corridor Plan. On August 18, 2026, DNLTC approved a contract for grant writing services with Dokken Engineering and on September 1, 2026 DNLTC approved the contribution of the matching funds required for this application.
While DNLTC is funding the consultant to help write the application, supporting information and review will need to be provided by both City and County staff. DNLTC has also requested that each benefiting agency provide a letter of support for the application.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the letter of support does not have a direct financial impact on the City. The Del Norte Local Transportation Commission is using DNLTC funds for the grant application and for matching grant funds. Some City staff time will be required to provide information for the grant application.
The City will benefit from the results of the successful Northcrest Corridor Planning project as it will be an available resource for future improvements within the City.

RE: Letter of Support for the DNLTC Caltrans Planning Grant – Northcrest Corridor Plan
Dear Ms. Leighton,
I am writing on behalf of the City of Crescent City to express our strong support for the Northcrest Corridor Plan and for the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission’s (DNLTC) application for funding under the FY 27-28 Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program. This funding is critical to improving safety and expanding multimodal transportation options along the Northcrest Drive corridor.
Of particular concern is the corridor’s history of injuries and fatalities, especially along the section between Washington Boulevard and the nearby school. These conditions demonstrate the need for a comprehensive and forward-looking approach to improving safety and accessibility. The City is committed to working with DNLTC, Del Norte County, local schools, and other community partners to identify improvements that will make Northcrest Drive safer and more accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
Improving Northcrest Drive will provide benefits beyond transportation. A safer, more connected corridor can encourage walking and bicycling, improve access to schools and community destinations, provide greater mobility for residents who do not drive, and support the City’s broader goals for sustainability, economic vitality, and quality of life.
Thank you for submitting the Northcrest Corridor Plan grant application. Funding from this grant would allow Crescent City and Del Norte County to develop a safer, more efficient multimodal corridor that promotes greater use of carbon-free transportation along our most heavily traveled local roadway.
Sincerely,
Isaiah Wright
Mayor, City of Crescent City
