DETAILED BIDDER EXPERIENCE

The unique nature of this Project requires prior similar experience maintaining golf courses by the firm and the Key Personnel assigned. Contractor must have completed, within the last seven years, at least two contracts of at least two years duration with an annual value of $175,000 or more.

Contractor is expected to have successful experience in maintaining a golf course that is adjacent to or drains to a creek, river or fresh water body with a population of State- or Federally-protected salmonids such as steelhead trout or chinook salmon. Note your firm’s related experience and note how your work is conducted to accommodate presence of such protected species. Familiarity with SalmonSafe standards is desirable.

The irrigation system at the project site is over 50 years old and much of it is original. It is desirable to have experience operating a golf course with an old irrigation system that employs hydraulic valves, for which parts are no longer available, and that involves manual operation of similarly old valves and an old system.

Contractor shall describe any related experience in successfully operating a similar irrigation system for a golf course or similar facility.

The irrigation system at the project is old and no record drawings exist. Portions of the course do not receive adequate watering via the existing system. Some areas of the course require hand watering year round; supplemental hand watering during warm weather is needed for greens and other areas. The irrigation system is prone to breaks or failures, which are unpredictable but estimated to be at least monthly, and necessitate immediate repair. Related experience is desirable. Contractor shall describe any related experience in successfully operating a golf course or similar facility, with a comparable undocumented and/or aging irrigation system that involves similar efforts to operate.

Contractor must have a licensed Pest Control Advisor on staff to review and recommend pesticide applications. Contractor must have a staff member with a current Qualified Applicator License or Qualified Applicator Certificate that will personally oversee application of acceptable herbicides or pest control applications.

Contractor must provide evidence of having received training on current Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques and ability to comply with City of Cupertino IPM program goals, objectives and reporting.

Knowledge of City of Cupertino’s specific IPM program and procedures is desirable. Indicate your firm’s knowledge/experience as applicable.

Contractor must employ a Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) Class “A” golf superintendent with 5 or more years of successful experience in managing daily maintenance operation of a golf course in a climate that is similar to Cupertino’s. It is desirable to have training equivalent to graduation from an accredited 4-year college or university, preferably with major course work in management, horticulture, or a related field. Provide information regarding the superintendent’s professional education and experience and provide a current resume.

It is desirable that Contractor have a golf irrigation auditor on staff to monitor irrigation operations. Indicate your firm’s golf irrigation auditor if applicable.

These changes will be set forth in a contract change order which will specify, in addition to the work to be done in connection with the change made, the adjustment of Contract Time, if any, and the basis of compensation for that work. A contract change order will not become effective until approved by City. Upon receipt of an approved contract change order, Contractor shall proceed with the ordered work. If ordered in writing by the City, Contractor shall proceed with the work so ordered prior to actual receipt of an approved contract change order therefore. In those cases, City will, as soon as practicable, issue an approved contract change order for the ordered work and, if the parties cannot agree, then the contract claims procedure in Section 9 shall apply. When the compensation for an item of work is subject to adjustment, Contractor shall, furnish City with adequate detailed cost data for that item of work showing actual costs incurred with direct costs, indirect costs, and any overhead claims. If Contractor requests an adjustment in compensation for an item of work as provided herein, the cost data shall be submitted with the request.

Any change in scope of Work or deviation from Contract Documents including, without limitation, extra work, or alterations or additions to or deductions from the original Work, shall not invalidate the original Contract, and shall be performed under the terms of the Contract Documents.

Only Contractor or City may initiate changes in scope of Work or deviation from Contract Documents.

RFIs shall be submitted to seek clarification of or request changes in the Contract Docume nts.

Notices of Concealed or Unknown Conditions shall be submitted in accordance with Document 00700 (General Conditions).

City of Cupertino 00700-14 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
Notices of Hazardous Waste Conditions shall be submitted in accordance with Document 00700 (General Conditions).

Contractor shall be responsible for its costs to implement and administer RFIs throughout the Contract duration.

Contractor shall be responsible for both City and it’s Engineer’s administrative costs for answering RFIs where the answer could reasonably be found by reviewing the Contract Documents, as determined by City; at City’s discretion, such costs may be deducted from progress payments or final payment.

City may initiate changes by issuing a Supplemental Instruction, which may revise, add to or subtract from the Work.

City may initiate changes in the Work or Contract Time by issuing RFPs to Contractor. Such RFPs will detail all proposed changes in the Work and request a quotation of changes in Contract Sum and Contract Time from Contractor.

City may also, by Construction Change Directive (“CCD”), order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. A CCD shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order and may, upon notice, consist of a Change Order executed by City only.

B. Procedures

1. Cost Proposal and Procedures:

Whenever Contractor is required to prepare a Cost Proposal, and whenever Contractor is entitled to submit a Cost Proposal and elects to do so, Contractor shall prepare and submit to City for consideration a Cost Proposal using the forms approved by the City. All Cost Proposals must contain a complete breakdown of costs of credits, deducts and extras; itemizing materials, labor, taxes, overhead and profit. All Subcontractor Work shall be so indicated. Individual entries on the Cost Proposal form shall be determined as provided in this section. After receipt of a Cost Proposal with a detailed breakdown, City will act promptly thereon.

If City accepts a Cost Proposal, City will prepare Change Order for City and Contractor signatures.

If Cost Proposal is not acceptable to City because it does not agree with cost and/or time included in Cost Proposal, City will submit in a response what it believes to be a reasonable cost and/or adjustment, if any. Except as otherwise provided in this Document, Contractor shall have seven Days in which to respond to City with a revised Cost Proposal.

City of Cupertino 00700-15 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
When necessity to proceed with a change does not allow the City sufficient time to conduct a proper check of a Cost Proposal (or revised Cost Proposal), City may order Contractor to proceed on basis to be determined at earliest practical date. In this event, value of change, with corresponding equitable adjustment to Contract, shall not be more than increase or less than decrease proposed.

2. Request for Information (RFI):

Whenever Contractor requires information regarding the Project or Contract Documents, or receives a request for information from a Subcontractor, Contractor may prepare and deliver an RFI to City. Contractor shall use RFI format provided by City. Contractor must submit time critical RFIs at least 30 days before scheduled start date of the affected Work activity.

Contractor shall reference each RFI to an activity of Progress Schedule and shall note time criticality of the RFI, indicating time within which a response is required. Contractor’s failure to reference RFI to an activity on the Progress Schedule and note time criticality on the RFI shall constitute Contractor’s waiver of any claim for time delay or interruption to the Work resulting from any delay in responding to the RFI.

City will respond within seven Days from receipt of RFI with a written response to Contractor. Contractor shall distribute response to all appropriate Subcontractors. RFI received after 12:00 pm will be considered as received the following day, for Fridays, the following day will be considered to be Monday.

If Contractor is satisfied with the response and does not request change in Contract Sum or Contract Time, then the response shall be executed without a change.

If Contractor believes the response is incomplete, Contractor shall issue another RFI (with the same RFI number with the letter “A” indicating if it is a follow-up RFI) to City clarifying original RFI. Additionally, City may return RFI requesting additional information should original RFI be inadequate in describing condition.

If Contractor believes that the response results in change in Contract Sum or Contract Time, Contractor shall notify City in writing within seven Days after receiving the response. If Ci ty disagrees with Contractor, then Contractor may give notice of intent to submit a Claim as described in this Document and submit its Claim within 30 days. If City agrees with Contractor, then Contractor must submit a Cost Proposal within 21 Days of receiving the response to the RFI. Contractor’s failure to deliver either the foregoing notice and Claim or Cost Proposal by the respective deadlines stated in the foregoing sentences shall result in waiver of the right to file a Cost Proposal or Claim.

3. Field Authorization (FA):

A letter issued and signed by the City’s Director of Public Works, or his designated representative, authorizing the Contractor to proceed with additive or deductive changes to the contract, exclusive of time extensions, which value does not exceed $50,000, which will become a part of a subsequent Contract Change Order. The Field Authorization is issued during the course of construction when it is known or believed that the changes in the Work being requested cannot be processed in a timely way as a Contract Change Order without risk of causing a delay to the project. The contractor cannot include work performed under a Field Authorization in an Application for Payment until the Field Authorization is fully incorporated into an approved Contract Change Order.

City of Cupertino 00700-16 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016

4. Supplemental Instruction:

City may issue Supplemental Instruction to Contractor.

If Contractor is satisfied with Supplemental Instruction and does not request change in Contract Sum or Contract Time, then Supplemental Instruction shall be executed without a Change Order.

If Contractor believes that Supplemental Instruction results in change in Contract Sum or Contract Time, then Contractor must submit a Cost Proposal to City within 21 Days of receiving the Supplemental Instruction.

5. Construction Change Directives (CCD):

If at any time City believes in good faith that a timely Change Order will not be agreed upon using the foregoing procedures, City may issue a CCD with its recommended cost and/or time adjustment. Upon receipt of CCD, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change of Work involved and concurrently respond to City’s CCD within 10 Days.

Contractor’s response must be any one of following:

Return CCD signed, thereby accepting City’s response, time and cost.

Submit a (revised if applicable) Cost Proposal with supporting documentation (if applicable, reference original Cost Proposal number followed by letter A, B, etc. for each revision), if City so requests.

Give notice of intent to submit a Claim as described in this Document and submit its Claim with 30 days.

If the CCD provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be based on one of the following methods:

Mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation.

Unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon.

Cost to be determined in a manner agreed.

CCD signed by Contractor indicates the agreement of Contractor therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.

If Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by City on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. If the parties still do not agree on the price for a CCD, Contractor may file a Claim. Contractor shall keep and present, in such form as City may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this paragraph shall be limited to those provided in this Section.

Pending final determination of cost to City, amounts not in dispute may be included in Applications for Payment. The amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to City for a deletion or change which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost as confirmed by City. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change.

6. City Requested RFP:

Contractor shall furnish a Cost Proposal within 21 Business Days of City’s RFP. Upon approval of RFP, City will issue a Change Order directing Contractor to proceed with extra Work. If the parties do not agree on the price for an RFP, City may either issue a CCD or decide the issue per the claims section of this Document. Contractor shall perform the changed Work notwithstanding any claims or disagreements of any nature.

For all responses for which the Contract Documents, including without limitation this Document, do not provide a specific time period, recipients shall respond within a reasonable time.

C. Allowable Quantity Variations
Increases or decreases in the quantity of a Contract item of Work for unit price items will be determined by comparing the actual pay quantity of an item of Work with the approximate quantity in the listing of the bid items contained in the Bid.

City of Cupertino 00700-18 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
If the ac tual pay quantity of an item of Work varies from the approximate quantity by 25 percent or less, payment will be made for the actual quantity of Work performed at the Contract unit price listed in the Bid.

If the actual pay quantity of an item of Work var ies from the approximate quantity by more than 25 percent, in the absence of an executed Contract Change Order specifying the compensation to be paid, the compensation payable to Contractor will be determined in accordance with this Section.

1. Increases of More Than 25 Percent : If the actual pay quantity of an item of Work exceeds the approximate quantity by more than 25 percent, the amount of Work in excess of 125 percent of the approximate quantity will be paid for by adjusting the Contract unit price. Such adjustment of the Contract unit price will be the positive or negative difference between the Contract unit price and the actual unit cost of the total pay quantity of the item. At the sole option of City, the actual unit cost of the Work involved in such excess will be determined in accordance with Section 3.4 (by mutual acceptance of a lump sum amount) or Section 3.4 (cost of Work, based on time and materials).

If the cost of an item of Work includes fixed costs or overhead, the fixed costs will be deemed to have been recovered by Contractor by the payments made for 125 percent of the approximate quantity at the Contract unit price for the item and in computing the actual unit cost, the fixed costs will be excluded.

When the compensation payable for the quantity of Work performed in excess of 125 percent of the approximate quantity is less than $5,000 at the Contract unit price, no adjustment in the Contract unit price will be made unless requested in writing by Contractor within 14 days from the date Contractor became aware, or should have reasonably become aware, of the increase in quantity.

2. Decreases of More Than 25 Percent : If the actual pay quantity of an item of Work is less than 75 percent of the approximate quantity, an adjustment in compe nsation will not be made unless Contractor makes a request in writing within 14 days from the date Contractor became aware, or should have reasonably become aware, of the decrease in quantity. If Contractor makes a request, the actual pay quantity of said item of Work performed will be paid for by adjusting the Contract unit price. Such adjustment of the Contract unit price will be the positive or negative difference between the Contract unit price and the actual unit cost of the total pay quantity of the i tem, including fixed costs. At the sole option of City, payment for the actual quantity of Work will be made by mutual acceptance of a lump sum amount or cost of Work based on time and materials in accordance with Section 3.4.

3. Payment for the actual pay quantity of such item of Work will in no case exceed the payment which would have been made for the performance of 75 percent of the approximate quantity of such item at the Contract unit price.

B. Eliminated Items:

If any Contract item of the Work is e liminated in its entirety, payment will be made to Contractor for the actual cost incurred in connection with the eliminated Contract item if incurred prior to the date of notification in writing by City of such elimination.

If acceptable material is ord ered by Contractor for an eliminated Contract item prior to the date of notification of such elimination by City, and if orders for such material cannot be canceled, payment for such material will be made at the actual cost to Contractor. In such case, the material shall become the property of City. If the materials can be returned to the vendor and if City so directs, the material shall be returned and Contractor will be paid for the actual cost for returning the material.

The actual costs to be paid by C ity to Contractor in accordance with this Section will be computed based on Time and Materials in accordance with Section 3.4.

City of Cupertino 00700-19 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
C. Alternative Contract Items
Items identified as Alternative in the Bid may be deleted entirely or in part at the sole discretion of City. The unit price of an Alternative contract item shall not be subject to adjustment due to any increase or decrease in actual quantity.

See Document 00800 for more detail.

D. Change in Character of Work
If an ordered change in the plans or specifications materially changes the character of the work of a contract item from that on which the Contractor based the bid price, and if the change increases or decreases the actual unit cost of the changed item as compared to the actual or estimated actual u nit cost of performing the work of that item in accordance with the plans and specifications originally applicable thereto, in the absence of an executed contract change order specifying the compensation payable, an adjustment in compensation therefore will be made in accordance with the following.

The basis of the adjustment in compensation will be the difference between the actual unit cost to perform the work of that item or portion thereof involved in the change as originally planned and the actual unit cost of performing the work of the item or portion thereof involved in the change, as changed. Actual unit costs will be determined by the Engineer in the same manner as if the work were to be paid for on a force account basis as provided in Section 3.4; or the adjustment will be as agreed to by the Contractor and the Engineer. The adjustment will apply only to the portion of the work of the item actually changed in character. At the option of the Engineer, the work of the item or portion of item which is changed in character will be paid for by force account as provided in Section 3.4.

If the compensation for an item of work is adjusted under this Section, the costs recognized in determining that adjustment shall be excluded from consideration in making an adjustment for that item of work under the provisions in Section 3.3.

Failure of the Engineer to recognize a change in character of the work at the time the approved contract change order is issued shall in nowise be construed as relieving the Contractor of the duty and responsibility of filing a written protest within the limit as provided in Doc. 00700.

3.4 Change in Contract Price – Not Applicable
A General
The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation payable to Contractor for performing the Work.

All d uties, responsibilities. and obligations assigned to or undertaken by Contractor to perform the Work shall be at Contractor’s expense without change in the Contract Price.

The Contract Price may only be changed by a change order. Any request for an incre ase in the Contract Price shall be based on written notice delivered by Contractor to City promptly, but in no event later than 10 days after the date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the request and stating the general nature of the request. Notice of the amount of the request with supporting data shall be delivered within 45 days after the date of the occurrence, unless City allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the request, and shall be accompanied by Contractor’s written statement that the amount requested covers all amounts (direct, indirect, and consequential) to which Contractor is entitled as a result of the occurrence of the event. No request for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this Section.

The value of any Work covered by a change order or of any request for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be determined in one of the following ways:

 Where the Work involved is covere d by unit prices contained in the Contract documents, by application of unit prices to the quantities of the items involved; or  By mutual acceptance of a lump sum, which may include an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with Se ction 3.4, provided Contractor submits documentation supporting the direct, indirect, overhead and profit components that compromise the lump sum amounts.

City of Cupertino 00700-20 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
 On the basis of the cost of Work based on Time and Materials plus a Contractor’s fee for overhead and profit, in accordance with this Section.

B Cost of Work (Based on Time and Materials)

The term “cost of Work” means the sum of all costs necessarily incurred and paid by Contractor for labor, materials, and equipment in the proper performance of Work . Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by City, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the project.

1 Labor:

The cost of labor used in performing Work by Contractor, a Subcontractor, or other forces, will be the sum of the following:

The actual wages paid plus any employer payments to or on behalf of workers for fringe benefits, including health and welfare, pension, vacation, and similar purposes, not overlapping with the labor surcharge described belo w. The cost of labor may include the wages paid to foremen when it is determined by City that the services of foremen do not constitute a part of the overhead allowance.

There will be added to the actual wages as defined above, a percentage set forth in the latest “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates” in use by the California State Department of Transportation which is in effect on the date upon which the work is accomplished. This percentage shall constitute full compensation for all payments impo sed by State and Federal laws including, but not limited to, workers’ compensation insurance and Social Security payments.

The amount paid for subsistence and travel required by collective bargaining agreements.

For equipment operators, payment for the a ctual cost of labor and subsistence or travel allowance will be made at the rates paid by Contractor to other workers operating similar equipment already on the work, or in the absence of such labor, established by collective bargaining agreements for the type of workers and location of the extra work, whether or not the operator is actually covered by such an agreement. A labor surcharge will be added to the cost of labor described herein, in accordance with the provisions of this Section, which surcharge shall constitute full compensation for payments imposed by State and Federal laws, and all other payments made to on behalf of workers other than actual wages.

2 Materials:

The cost of materials used in performing Work will be the cost to the purchaser, whether Contractor or subcontractor, from the supplier thereof, except as the following are applicable:

Trade discounts available to the purchaser shall be credited to City notwithstanding the fact that such discounts may not have been taken by Contractor.

For materials secured by other than a direct purchase and direct billing to the purchaser, the cost shall be deemed to be the price paid to the actual supplier as determined by City. Markup, except for actual costs incurred in the handling of such materials, will not be allowed.

Payment for materials from sources owned wholly or in part by the purchaser shall not exceed the price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from said sources on extra work items or the current wholesale price for such materials delivered to the Work Site, whichever price is lower.

If, in the opinion of City, the cost of material is excessive, or Contractor does not furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost of such material, then the cost shall be deemed to be the lowest c urrent wholesale price for the quantity concerned delivered to the work Site, less trade discount. City reserves the right to furnish materials for the extra work and no claim shall be made by Contractor for costs and profit on such materials.

City of Cupertino 00700-21 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
3 Equipment:

Contractor will be paid for the use of equipment at the rental rate listed for such equipment specified in the current edition of the Department of Transportation publication entitled, “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates,” which is in effect on the date upon which the work is accomplished. Such rental rates will be used to compute payments for equipment whether the equipment is under Contractor’s control through direct ownership, leasing, renting, or another method of acquisition. The rental rate to be applied for use of each item of equipment shall be the rate resulting in the least total cost to City for the total period of use. If it is deemed necessary by Contractor to use equipment not listed in the foregoing publication, an equitable rental rate for the equipment will be established by City. Contractor may furnish cost data which might assist City in the establishment of the rental rate.

The rental rates paid, as above provided, shall include the cost of fuel, oil, lubrication supplies, smal l tools, necessary attachments, repairs and maintenance of all kinds, depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals. Operators of equipment will be separately paid for as provided in this Section 3.4, “Labor”.

Before construction equipment is used on the extra work, Contractor shall plainly stencil or stamp an identifying number thereon at a conspicuous location, and shall furnish t o City, in duplicate, a description of the equipment and its identifying number.

Unless otherwise specified, manufacturer’s ratings and manufacturer -approved modifications shall be used to classify equipment for the determination of applicable rental rate s. Equipment which has no direct power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer.

Individual pieces of equipment or tools having a replacement value of $500 or less, whether or not consumed by use, shall be considered to be small tools and no payment will be made therefore.

4 Owner-Operated Equipment:

When owner -operated equipment is used to perform Work and is to be paid for as extra work, Contractor will be paid for the equipment and operator as follows:

Payment for the equipment will be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4, “Equipment.”

Payment for the cost of labor and subsistence or travel allowance will be made at the rates paid by Contractor to other workers operating similar equipment already on the project, or, in the absence of such other workers, at the rates for such labor established by collective bargaining agreement for type of worker and location of the work, whether or not the owner -operator is actually covered by suc h an agreement. A labor surcharge will be added to the cost of labor described herein, in accordance with the provisions in Section 3.4, “Labor.”

To the direct cost of equipment rental and labor, computed as provided herein, will be added the markup for equipment rental and labor as provided in Section 3.4, “Contractor’s Fee.”

5 Equipment Time:

The rental time to be paid for equipment on the Work shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation on the Work being performed and shall include the time required to move the equipment to the new location and return it to the original location or to another location requiring no more time than that required to return it to its original location; except that moving time will not be paid if the equipment is used on other than the extra work. Loading and transporting costs will be allowed, in lieu of moving time, when the equipment is moved by means other than its own power. No payment will be made for loading and transporting costs when the equipment is used at the Site of the extra work on other than the extra work. The following shall be used in computing the rental time of equipment on the work:

City of Cupertino 00700-22 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
A. When hourly rates are listed, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of operation shall be considered to be ½ -hour of operation, and any part of an hour in excess of 30 minutes will be considered 1-hour of operation.

B. When daily rates are listed, operation for any part of a day less than 4 hours shall be considered to be half-day of operation.

C. Rental time w ill not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns or Contractor caused delays.

6 Cost of Work Documentation:

Contractor shall furnish City Daily Extra Work Reports on a daily basis covering the direct costs of labor and materials and ch arges for equipment whether furnished by Contractor, subcontractor, or other forces. City will provide the Daily Extra Work Report forms to Contractor. Contractor or an authorized agent shall sign each Daily Extra Work Report. The Daily Extra Work Report s hall provide names and classifications of workers and hours worked; size, type, and identification number of equipment; and the hours operated. Copies of certified payrolls and statement of fringe benefit shall substantiate labor charges. Valid copies of vendor’s invoices shall substantiate material charges.

City will make any necessary adjustments. When these reports are agreed upon and signed by both parties, they shall become the basis of payment for the Work performed, but shall not preclude subsequent adjustment based on a later audit.

Contractor shall inform City when extra work will begin so that City inspector can concur with the Daily Extra Work Reports. Failure to conform to these requirements may impact Contractor’s ability to receive proper compensation.

7 Detours:

Contractor shall construct and remove detours and detour bridges for the use of public traffic as provided in the Special Provisions, or as shown on the plans, or as directed by City. Payment for this work will be made as set forth in the Special Provisions or at the Contract Prices for the items of work involved if the work being performed is covered by contract items of work and no other method of payment therefore is provided in the Special Provisions, otherwise the work will be p aid for as extra work as provided herein. The costs of repairing damaged detours caused by public traffic will be paid for as extra work as provided herein. When public traffic is routed through the work, provision for a passageway through construction o perations will not be considered as detour construction or detour maintenance and this work shall conform to and be paid as basic scope of work, unless otherwise specified in the Special Provisions. Detours used exclusively by Contractor for hauling mater ials and equipment shall be constructed and maintained by Contractor at Contractor’s expense. The failure or refusal of Contractor to construct and maintain detours at the proper time shall be sufficient cause for closing down the work until the detours a re in satisfactory condition for use by public traffic. Where Contractor is hauling is causing such damage to the detour that its maintenance in a condition satisfactory for public traffic is made difficult and unusually expensive, City shall have authori ty to regulate Contractor’s hauling over the detour.

8 Special Services
Special services are defined as that work characterized by extraordinary complexity, sophistication, or innovations, or a combination of the foregoing attributes which are unique to the construction industry.

The following may be considered by City in making estimates for payment for special services:

A. When City and Contractor, by agreement, determine that a special service is required which cannot be performed by the forces of Contra ctor or those of any of its subcontractors, the special service may be performed by an entity especially skilled in the work to be performed.

After validation of invoices and determination of market values by City, invoices for special services based upon the current fair market value thereof may be accepted without complete itemization of labor, material, and equipment rental costs.

B. When Contractor is required to perform work necessitating special fabrication or machining process in a fabrication or a mac hine shop facility away from the job -Site, the charges for that

City of Cupertino 00700-23 General Conditions

portion of the work performed at the off Site facility may, by agreement, be accepted as a special service and accordingly, the invoices for the work may be accepted without detailed itemization.

C. All invoices for special services will be adjusted by deducting all trade discounts offered or available, whether the discounts were taken or not. In lieu of the allowances for overhead and profit on labor, materials, and equipment specified in Section 3.4 “Contractor’s Fee”, herein, a single allowance of ten (10) percent will be added to invoices for special services.

9 Contractor’s Fee
A. Work ordered on the basis of time and materials will be paid for at the actual and necessary cost as determined by City, plus allowances for overhead and profit which allowances shall constitute the “Contractor’s Fee”. For extra work involving a combination of increases and decreases in the work, the actual necessary cost will be the arithmetic sum of the additive a nd deductive costs. The allowance for overhead and profit shall include compensation for superintendence, bond and insurance premiums, taxes, all field and home office expenses, and all other items of expense or cost not included in the cost of labor, mate rials, or equipment provided for under Sections 3.4, “Cost of Work”, herein.

B. Labor, materials, and equipment may be furnished by Contractor or by the subcontractor on behalf of Contractor: When al l or any part of the extra work is performed by a subcontractor, the allowance specified in “Contractor’s Fee” shall only be applied to the labor, materials, and equipment costs of the subcontractors to which Contractor may add 5 percent of the subcontractor’s total cost for the extra work. Regardless of the number of hierarchical tiers of subcontractors, the 5 percent increase above the subcontractor’s total cost, which includes the allowances for overhead and profit specified herein, may be applied one t ime only for each separate work transaction.

10 Compensation for Time Extensions
Adjustments in compensation for time extension will be allowed only for causes identified in Section

3.5, Changes in Contract Time. No adjustments in compensation will be al lowed when City -caused delays to a controlling item of work and Contractor -caused delays to a controlling item of work occur concurrently, or for causes identified in Section 3.5 Changes in Contract Time.

Compensation for idle time of equipment will be de termined in accordance with the provisions in Section 3.4, Owner –Operated Equipment.

11 Force-Account Work
If it is impracticable because of nature of Work, or for any other reason, to fix an increase or decrease in price definitely in advance, the Contractor may be directed to proceed at a not-to-exceed (NTE) maximum price which shall not under any circumstances be exceeded. Subject to such limitation, such extra Work shall be paid for at actual necessary cost for Force-Account Work or at the negotiated cost, as determined by City. The cost for Force-Account Work shall be determined pursuant this Section.

Force-Account Work shall be used when it is not possible or practical to price out the changed Work prior to the start of that Work. In these cases, Force-Account Work will be utilized during the pricing and negotiation phase of the change. Once negotiations have been concluded and a bilateral agreement has been reached, the tracking of the Work under Force-Account is no longer necessary. Force- Account Work shall also be used when negotiations between City and Contractor have broken apart and a bilateral agreement on the value of the changed Work cannot be reached. City may approve other uses of Force-Account Work.

City of Cupertino 00700-24 General Conditions

3.5 Change of Contract Time – Not Applicable
A General
The Contract time may only be changed by a change order. Any request for an extension of the Contract time shall be based on written notice delivered by Contractor to City promptly, but in no event later than 10 days after the date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the request. Such written notice shall identify the controlling item of work that justifies the time extension, and shall state in reasonable detail the general nature of the request. Notice of the full extent of the request with a supporting time impact evaluation shall be delivered within 25 days after the date of such occurrence, unless City allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of th e request, and shall be accompanied by Contractor’s written statement that the adjustment requested is the entire adjustment to which Contractor has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. No request for an adjustment in the Contract time will be valid if not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this Section, and Contractor waives any rights not pursued under this Section.

The Contract time will only be extended when a delay occurs which impacts a controll ing item of work as shown on the progress schedule required herein. Time extensions will be allowed only if the cause is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Contractor. Time extensions (without compensation of any sort) will also be a llowed when City-caused delays to a controlling item of work and Contractor-caused delays to a controlling item of work occur concurrently or for adverse weather caused delays discussed below. Contractor will be notified if City determines that a time exte nsion is not justified.

The Contract time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to delays beyond the control of Contractor if a request is made therefore as provided in this Section. An extension of Contract time will only be granted for da ys on which (i) Contractor is prevented from proceeding with at least 75 percent of the normal labor and equipment force actually engaged on the said work, and (ii) by excusable occurrences or conditions resulting immediately therefrom which impact a contr olling item of work as determined by City. Excusable delays shall include:

 Changes.

 Failure of City to furnish access, right of way, completed facilities of related projects, Drawings, materials, equipment, or services for which City is responsible.

 Survey error by City.

 Suspension of work pursuant to Section 7, Prosecution and Progress of Work.

 Occurrences of a severe and unusual nature, including, acts of God, fires, and excusable inclement weather. An “act of God” means an earthquake, flood, cloudbu rst, cyclone or other cataclysmic phenomena of nature beyond the power of Contractor to foresee or to make preparation in defense against, but does not include ordinary inclement weather. Excusable inclement weather is any weather condition, the duration o f which varies in excess of the average conditions expected, which is unusual for the particular time and place where the

City of Cupertino 00700-26 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
work is to be performed, or which could not have been reasonably anticipated by Contractor, as determined from National Oceanic and At mospheric Administration (“NOAA”) records for the proceeding 3-year period.

 Act of the public enemy, act of another governmental entity, public utility, epidemic, quarantine restriction, freight embargo, strike, or labor dispute. A delay to a subcontracto r or supplier due to the above circumstances will be taken into consideration for extensions to the time of completion.

B Extensions of Time for Delay Due to Excusable Inclement Weather The Contractor shall have no right to an adjustment in the time of co mpletion due to weather conditions or industrial conditions which are normal for the locality of the site. The time period for the contract has been calculated with the consideration given to the average climate range and usual industrial conditions prevailing in the locality of the site.

Time extensions due to inclement weather will be allowed only for weather conditions that affect the progress of activities that are on the critical path. The Contractor shall exercise due diligence in protecting the wor k area from weather as well as take corrective action after the weather has passed.

Time extensions will not be allowed until the average number of days for which precipitation exceeds

0.10 inch and the corresponding average precipitation in a given month or months has been exceeded.

Delay due to inclement weather are not compensable.

Contractor shall give written notice of intent to claim an adverse weather day within one Day of the adverse weather day occurring.

Abnormal weather conditions are those that exceed the averages indicated in the following table:

Month Days (1) and Precipitation (2)
January 6 3.06
February 6 2.49
March 6 2.31
April 3 1.06
May 1 0.40
June 0 0.09
July 0 0.04
August 0 0.09
September 1 0.21
October 2 0.73
November 4 1.73
December 5 2.28
Total 33 14.49

(1) The average number of days in which the precipitation exceeds 0.10 inches in the 24 hour period between midnight of one day and midnight of the next day. (2) The mean precipitation, in inches, for the month indicated, recorded at San Jose station #047821 of the period from 1948 to 2000.

The Contr act time will be extended for as many days in excess of the average number of days of excusable inclement weather, as defined above, as Contractor is specifically required under the Special Provisions to suspend construction operations, provided that on su ch days Contractor is prevented by such excusable inclement weather, or conditions resulting immediately therefrom, from proceeding with at least 75 percent of the normal labor and equipment force engaged on critical items of work as shown on the schedule.

Should Contractor prepare to begin work at the regular starting time at the beginning of any regular work shift on any day on which excusable inclement weather, or the conditions resulting from the weather prevents work from beginning at the usual starti ng time and the crew is dismissed as a result thereof, Contractor will be entitled to a 1 -day credit for advance weather whether or not conditions change thereafter during said day and the major portion of the day could be considered to be suitable

City of Cupertino 00700-27 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
for such construction operations. If Contractor starts work and then suspends work due to excusable inclement weather, then Contractor shall be entitled to a prorate credit based upon the number of work hours lost.

Contractor shall base the construction schedul e upon the inclusion of the number of days of excusable inclement weather (for rain, in excess of 0.1 inch) specified by NOAA for the locality of the Project.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, extension of the Contract time due to excusable inclement weathe r will be granted until after the said aggregate total number of days of excusable inclement weather has been reached; however, no reduction in Contract time will be made if said number of days of excusable inclement weather is not reached.

3.6 Changed Site Conditions
If any work involves digging trenches or other excavations below the surface, Contractor shall promptly and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify City in writing of any:

A. Material that Contractor believes may be a regulated material that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal Site in accordance with provisions of existing law.

B. Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the Site differing from those indicated in this Contract.

C. Unknown physical conditions at the Site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract.

City will promptly investigate the condition and if i t finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve regulated material, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, City will issue a change order under the procedu res described in this Contract. For regulated materials, City reserves the right to use other forces for exploratory work to identify and determine the extent of such material and for removing regulated material from such areas.

In the event that a disput e arises between City and Contractor on whether the conditions materially differ or on Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by this Contract but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Contract. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by this Contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.

3.7 Cost Reduction Incentive
The Contractor may submit to the Engineer, in writing, proposals for modifying the plans, specifications or other requirements of the contract for the sole purpose of reducing the total cost of construction. The cost reduction p roposal shall not impair, in any manner, the essential functions or characteristics of the project, including but not limited to service life, economy of operation, ease of maintenance, desired appearance, or design and safety standards.

Cost reduction proposals shall contain the following information:

A. A description of both the existing contract requirements for performing the work and the proposed changes.

B. An itemization of the contract requirements that must be changed if the proposal is adopted.

C. A detai led estimate of the cost of performing the work under the existing contract and under the proposed change. The estimates of cost shall be determined in the same manner as if the work were to be paid for on a force account basis as provided in Section 3.4, "Cost of Work." D. A statement of the time within which the Engineer must make a decision thereon.

E. The contract items of work affected by the proposed changes, including any quantity variation attributable thereto.

The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall n ot be construed to require the Engineer to consider any cost reduction proposal which may be submitted hereunder; proposed changes in basic design of a bridge or of a pavement type will not be considered as an acceptable cost reduction proposal; and the Ci ty will not be liable to the

City of Cupertino 00700-28 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
Contractor for failure to accept or act upon any cost reduction proposal submitted pursuant to this section nor for any delays to the work attributable to any cost reduction proposal. If a cost reduction proposal is similar to a change in the plans or specifications, under consideration by the City for the project, at the time the proposal is submitted or if the proposal is based upon or similar to Standard Specifications, standard special provisions or Standard Plans adopted b y the City after the advertisement for the contract, the Engineer will not accept the proposal, and the City reserves the right to make the changes without compensation to the Contractor under the provisions of this section

The Contractor shall continue t o perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the contract until an executed change order, incorporating the cost reduction proposal has been issued. If an executed change order has not been issued by the date upon which the Contractor's cost reduction proposal specifies that a decision thereon should be made, or such other date as the Contractor may subsequently have specified in writing, the cost reduction proposal shall be deemed rejected.

The Engineer shall be the sole judge of the accepta bility of a cost reduction proposal and of the estimated net savings in construction costs from the adoption of all or any part of the proposal. In determining the estimated net savings, the right is reserved to disregard the contract bid prices if in the judgment of the Engineer, those prices do not represent a fair measure of the value of work to be performed or to be deleted.

The City reserves the right where it deems such action appropriate, to require the Contractor to share in the City's costs of investigating a cost reduction proposal submitted by the Contractor as a condition of considering the proposal. Where this condition is imposed, the Contractor shall indicate acceptance thereof in writing, and that acceptance shall constitute full authority for the City to deduct amounts payable to the City from any moneys due or that may become due to the Contractor under the contract.

If the Contractor's cost reduction proposal is accepted in whole or in part the acceptance will be by a contract change or der. The change order shall incorporate the changes in the plans and specifications which are necessary to permit the cost reduction proposal or that part of it as has been accepted to be put into effect, and shall include any conditions upon which the Ci ty's approval thereof is based if the approval of the City is conditional. The change order shall also set forth the estimated net savings in construction costs attributable to the cost reduction proposal effectuated by the change order, and shall further provide that the Contractor be paid 50 percent of that estimated net savings amount. The Contractor's cost of preparing the cost reduction incentive proposal and the City's costs of investigating a cost reduction incentive proposal, including any portion thereof paid by the Contractor, shall be excluded from consideration in determining the estimated net savings in construction costs.

Acceptance of the cost reduction proposal and performance of the work thereunder shall not extend the time of completion of the contract unless specifically provided for in the contract change order authorizing the use of the cost reduction proposal.

The amount specified to be paid to the Contractor in the change order which effectuates a cost reduction proposal shall const itute full compensation to the Contractor for the cost reduction proposal and the performance of the work thereof pursuant to the change order.

The City expressly reserves the right to adopt a cost reduction proposal for general use on contracts administered by the City when it determines that the proposal is suitable for application to other contracts.

When an accepted cost reduction proposal is adopted for general use, only the Contractor who first submitted that proposal will be eligible for compensati on pursuant to this section, and in that case, only as to those contracts awarded to that Contractor prior to submission of the accepted cost reduction proposal and as to which the cost reduction proposal is also submitted and accepted. Cost reduction pro posals identical or similar to previously submitted proposals will be eligible for consideration and compensation under the provisions of this Section 3.7 if the identical or similar previously submitted proposals were not adopted for general application t o other contracts administered by the City. Subject to the provisions contained herein, the City or any other public agency shall have the right to use all or any part of any submitted cost reduction proposal without obligation or compensation of any kind to the Contractor.

Contractor may submit to City, in writing, proposals for modifying the Drawings, Specifications, or other requirements of the Contract for the sole purpose of reducing the total cost of construction.

City of Cupertino 00700-29 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
Prior to preparing a written cost reduction proposal, Contractor shall request a meeting with City to discuss the proposal in concept. Items of discussion will also include permit issues, impact on other projects, impact on the project schedule, peer reviews, overall merit of the proposal , and review times required by City and other agencies.

If a cost reduction proposal submitted by Contractor, and subsequently approved by City, provides for a reduction in contract time, 50 percent of that contract time reduction shall be credited to Cit y by reducing the contract working days, not including plant establishment.

If a cost reduction proposal submitted by Contractor, and subsequently approved by City, provides for a reduction in traffic congestion or avoids traffic congestion during constr uction, 60 percent of the estimated net savings in construction costs attributable to the cost reduction proposal will be paid to Contractor. Contractor shall provide detailed comparisons of the traffic handling between the existing contract and the propos ed change, and estimates of the traffic volumes and congestion.

3.8 Dust Control
During the performance of all work under this Contract, Contractor shall assume all responsibility for dust control and shall furnish all labor, equipment, and means required to carry out proper and efficient measures wherever and whenever dust control is necessary to prevent operations from producing dust damage and nuisance to persons and property. Any claims resulting therefrom shall be borne solely by Contractor.

3.11 Substitutions
This paragraph describes procedures for selecting products and requesting substitutions of unlisted materials in lieu of materials named in the Specifications or approved for use in Addenda.

Contractor’s Options:

For products specified only by reference standard Contractor may select any product meeting that standard.

For products specified by naming one or more products or manufa cturers, Contractor may select products of any named manufacturer meeting the Specifications.

If product becomes unavailable due to no fault of Contractor, submit Request for Substitution (RFS), including all information contained in this Document and a fully executed Document 00660 (Request for Substitution) available from the City upon request, but using the term ”Contractor” each place the term ”Bidder” appears in that form.

Substitutions:

Except as provided in Document 00200 (Instructions to Bidders) with respect to “or equal” items, Cit y will consider Contractor’s substitution requests only when product becomes unavailable due to no fault of Contractor. Requests for review of proposed substitute items will not be accepted from anyone other than Contractor. The RFS shall state the extent, if any, to which the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will prejudice Contractor’s achievement of Substantial Completion on time, and whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with City for work on the Project).

Submit separate RFS (and FOUR copies) for each product and support each request with:

A. Product identification.

B. Manufacturer’s literature.

C. Samples, as applicable.

D. Name and address of similar projects on which product has been used, and dates of installation.

E. Name, address, and telephone number of manufacturer’s representative or sales engineer.

F. For construction methods: Detailed description of proposed method; drawings illustrating methods.

After review by City of each of Contractor’s Submittals, the City will be returned to Contractor with actions defined as follows:

A. NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN - Accepted subject to its compatibility with future Submittals and additional partial Submittals for portions of the Work not covered in this Submittal. Does not constitute approval or deletion of specified or required items not shown on the Submittal.

B. MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED (NO RESUBMISSIONS REQUIRED) - Same as item 1 above, except that minor corrections as noted shall be made by Contractor.

C. REVISE AS NOTED AND RESUBMIT - Rejected because of major inconsistencies or errors that shall be resolved or corrected by Contractor prior to subsequent review by City.

D. REJECTED - RESUBMIT - Submitted material does not conform to Drawings and/or Specifications in major respect, i.e.: wrong size, model, capacity, or material.

Make a complete and acceptable Submittal at least by second submission. City reserves the right to deduct monies from payments due Contractor to cover additional costs of review beyond the second submission.

Illegible Submittals will be rejected and returned to Contractor for resubmission. Contractor shall be in breach of the Contract if Contractor’s first resubmittal, following a Submittal which City determines falls within categories C or D above, does not fall within categories A or B above.

Favorable review will not constitute acceptance by City of any responsibility for the accuracy, coordination and completeness of the Submittals. Accuracy, coordination, and completeness of Submittals shall be sole responsibility of Contractor, including responsibility to back-check comments, corrections, and modifications from City’s review before fabrication. Contractor, Subcontractors, or suppliers may prepare Submittals, but Contractor shall ascertain that Submittals meet requirements of Contract Documents, while conforming to structural space and access conditions at point of installation. City’s review will be only to assess if the items covered by the Submittals will, after installation or incorporation in the Work, conform to the information given in the Contract Documents and be compatible with the design concept of the completed Project as indicated by the Contract Documents. Favorable review of Submittal, method of work, or information regarding materials and equipment Contractor proposes to furnish shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for errors therein and shall not be regarded as assumption of risks or liability by City, or any officer or employee thereof, and Contractor shall have no claim under Contract Documents on account of failure or partial failure or inefficiency or insufficiency of any plan or method of work or material and equipment so accepted. Favorable review shall be considered to mean merely that City has no objection to Contractor using, upon Contractor’s own full responsibility, plan or method of work proposed, or furnishing materials and equipment proposed.

City’s review will not extend the means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions.

After City’s review of Submittal, revise as noted and resubmit as required. Identify changes made since previous Submittal.

Begin no fabrication or work that requires Submittals until return of Submittals not requiring resubmittal. Do not extrapolate from Submittals covering similar work.

Normally, Submittals will be processed and returned to Contractor within 21 Days of receipt. Submittals received after 12:00 pm will be considered as received on the following Day. For Fridays, the following day will be considered to be Monday.

Distribute copies of reviewed Submittals to concerned persons. Instruct recipients to promptly report any inability to comply with provisions.

All Submittals shall be number-identified by Contractor, prior to submission to City, in accordance with the following:

A. Sequentially number each Submittal (i.e., “1”, “2”, “3”, etc.) as the basis for number identification of Submittals.

B. Affix the Submittal number under which each Submittal is made on every copy of each Shop Drawing, product data, sample, certification, etc.

C. Number Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manuals with original root number of the approved Submittal for the item.

D. If the Submittal is a resubmittal (including without limitation after an initial Submittal is rejected, returned without review or marked ‘Revise as Noted and Resubmit’), add the suffix designation “A” (i.e., a resubmittal of Submittal 1 would be numbered 1A). Subsequent re-submittals would be identified by the Submittal number and sequential letters (i.e., “B”, “C”, “D”, etc.).

E. All Submittals shall include all information requested by each Specification Section. No partial Submittals will be accepted unless previously a uthorized by City. In the event a partial Submittal is authorized, each subsequent different Submittal (as opposed to resubmittal) is given a new number.

F. Deliver Submittals to City at least 30 Days before dates reviewed Submittals will be needed.

G. Initial Submittal of Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manuals shall be 45 Days after the date Submittals that pertain to the applicable portion of the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual is satisfactorily reviewed.

The following table lists the number of initial Submittals required from Contractor for each type of submission, to whom Contractor shall distribute the information, and City’s distribution of reviewed submissions. If Contractor needs more copies of reviewed Submittals returned to it, then either submit additional copies or make copies from the returned transparency Submittal. Submittals requiring resubmission will require the same quantity and distribution as an initial Submittal.

THE LIMITED EXTENT THAT THESE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS OR APPLICABLE PUBLIC CONTRACTING STATUTES MAY SPECIFY THEIR RECOVERY.

SECTION 7. PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS OF WORK

7.1 Assignment
The performance of the Contract may not be assigned except upon the written consent of the Council. Consent will not be given to any proposed assignment which would relieve the original Cont ractor or surety of their responsibilities under the Contract.

Contractor may assign moneys due, or to become due under the Contract, and such assignment will be recognized by City, if given proper notice thereof, to the extent permitted by law, but any a ssignment of moneys shall be subject to all proper setoffs in favor of City and to all deductions provided for in the Contract and particularly all money withheld, whether assigned or not, shall be subject to being used by City for the completion of the Work in the event that Contractor should be in default therein.

7.2 Notice to Proceed
The Contract Time will commence to run on the date indicated on the Notice to Proceed. Contractor shall not do any work at the site prior to the date on which the Contract Time commences to run.

7.3 Commencement of Work
Contractor shall not begin Work until receipt from City of the Notice to Proceed, and shall, upon receiving notice, begin Work within the time specified in the notice. The time specified in said notice wil l allow a period of at least 10 days after the date of said notice for commencement of Work. After receipt of said notice, Contractor shall diligently prosecute the Work to completion. Contractor shall provide, at least 24 hours in advance, written notice to City of Contractor’s intention to start Work and specify the date on which Contractor intends to start.

No Work shall begin until the Contrac t and certificates of insurance required by Section 2 have been received and approved.

7.4 Work Progress Schedule – Not Applicable
A. General
Progress Schedule shall be based on and incorporate milestone and completion dates specified in Contract Documents. Overall time of completion and time of completion for each milestone shown on Progress Schedule shall adhere to times in Document 00520 (Contract), unless an earlier (advanced) time of completion is requested by Contractor and agreed to by City. A Change Order shall formalize any such agreement.

1. City is not required to accept an earlier (advanced) schedule, i.e., one that shows early completion date(s) for the Contract Time.

2. Contractor is not entitled to extra compensation in event agreement is reached on an earlier (advanced) schedule and Contractor completes its Work, for whatever reason, beyond completion date shown in earlier (advanced) schedule but within the Contract Time.

3. A schedule showing the Work completed in less than the Contract Time, which has been accepted by City, shall be considered to have Project Float. The Project Float is the time between t he scheduled completion of the Work and Contract Substantial Completion. Project Float is a resource available to both City and Contractor.

4. Float Ownership: Neither City nor Contractor owns float. The Project owns the float. As such, liability for delay of any Substantial Completion or Final Completion date rests with the party whose actions, last in time, actually cause delay to a Substantial Completion or Final Completion date.

a. For example, in the event of unexcused delay by Party A and Party B, and if Party A uses some, but not all of the float and Party B later uses remainder of the float as well as additional time beyond the float, Party B shall be liable for the time that represents a delay to the Substantial Completion date.
b. Under this scenario, Party A would not be responsible for the time since it did not consume all of the float and additional float remained; therefore, the Substantial Completion Date was unaffected.

City of Cupertino 00700-67 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016

c Progress Schedule shall be the basis for evaluating job progress, payment requests, and time extension requests. Responsibility for developing Contract schedule and monitoring actual progress as compared to Progress Schedule rests with Contractor. d Failure of Progress Schedule to include any element of the Work or any inaccuracy in Progress Schedule will not relieve Contractor from responsibility for accomplishing the Work in accordance with the Contract. City’s acceptance of Schedule shall be for its use in monitoring and evaluating job progress, payment requests, and time extension requests, and shall not, in any manner, impose a duty of care upon City, or act to relieve Contractor of its responsibility for means and methods of construction. e Transmit each item under form approved by City.
 Identify Project with the City Project number, and name of Contractor.  Provide space for Contractor’s approval stamp and City’s review stamps.  Submittals received from sources other than Contractor will be returned to Contractor without City’s review.

B. Initial and Original Progress Schedule
Initial Schedule submitted for review at the Preconstruction Conference shall serve as Contractor’s schedule for up to 30 Days after the Notice to Proceed.

Initial Schedule must indicate detailed plan for the Work to be completed in first 30 Days of the Contract; details of planned mobilization of plant and equipment; sequence of early operations; and procurement of materials and equipment. Show Work beyond 30 Days in summary form.

Contractor shall submit its Original Schedule for review no later than first progress payment. Original Schedule and all updates shall comply with all standards herein.

All Schedules shall be time-scaled.

All Schedules shall be cost- and resource-loaded. Accepted cost- and resource-loaded Schedule will be used as basis for monthly progress payments. Use of Initial Schedule for progress payments shall not exceed 30 Days.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Document, meet with City to review and discuss the each Schedule (i.e., Initial, Original and monthly updates) within seven Days after each Schedule has been submitted to City.

City’s review and comment on any Schedule shall be limited to Contract conformance (with sequencing, coordination, and milestone requirements).

Contractor shall make corrections to Schedule necessary to comply with Contract requirements and shall adjust Schedule to incorporate any missing information requested by City. Resubmit Initial Schedule if requested by City.

If Contractor is of the opinion that any of the Work included on its Schedule has been impacted, submit to City a written Time Impact Evaluation (TIE) in accordance with this Section. The TIE shall be based on the most current update of the Initial Schedule.

City of Cupertino 00700-68 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
C. Schedule Format and Level of Detail
Each Schedule (Initial, Original and updates) shall indicate all separate fabrication, procurement and field construction activities required for completion of the Work, including but not limited to the following:

1. All Contractor, Subcontractor, and assigned Contractor work shall be shown in a logical work sequence that demonstrates a coordinated plan of work for all contractors. The intent is to provide a common basis of acceptance, understanding, and communication, as well as interface with other contractors.

2. Activities related to the delivery of Contractor and City-furnished equipment to be Contractor-installed per Contract shall be shown.

3. All activities shall be identified through codes or other identification to indicate the building (i.e. buildings, Site work) and Contractor/Subcontractor responsibility to which they pertain.

4. Break up the Work schedule into activities of durations of approximately 21 Days or less each, except for non-field construction activities or as otherwise deemed acceptable by City.

5. Show the critical path in red. For each activity, show early start, late start, early finish, late finish, durations measured in Days, float, resources, predecessor and successor activities, planned workday/week for the activity, man power loading, and scheduled/actual progress payments.

Seasonal weather conditions (which do not constitute a delay as defined herein) shall be considered in the planning and scheduling of all work influenced by high or low ambient temperatures or presence of high moisture for the completion of the Work within the allotted Contract Time.

Failure by Contractor to include any element of Work required for performance of the Work on the detailed construction schedule shall not excuse Contractor from completing all Work required within the Contract Time.

A two-week “look ahead,” detailed daily bar chart schedule shall be updated and issued weekly.

Utilize computer-scheduling software, such as Microsoft Project software or approved equivalent, for all scheduling including schedule updates.

D. Monthly Schedule Update Submittals
Following acceptance of Contractor’s Initial Schedule, monitor progress of Work and adjust Schedule each month to reflect actual progress and any anticipated changes to planned activities.

Each Schedule update submitted shall be complete, including all information requested for the Initial Schedule and Original Schedule submittal.

Each update shall continue to show all Work activities including those already completed. These completed activities shall accurately reflect “as built” information by indicating when activities were actually started and completed, and Contractor warrants the accuracy of as-built information as shown.

Within five Days after monthly Schedule update, submit the updated Schedule.

Within five Days of receipt of above-noted revised submittals, City will either accept or reject monthly schedule update submittal.

1. If accepted, percent complete shown in monthly update will be basis for Application for Payment by Contractor. The schedule update shall be submitted as part of Contractor’s Application for Payment.

2. If rejected, update shall be corrected and resubmitted by Contractor before the Application for Payment is submitted.

Updating, changing or revising of any report, curve, schedule or narrative submitted to City by Contractor under this Contract, nor City’s review or acceptance of any such report, curve, schedule or

City of Cupertino 00700-69 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
narrative shall not have the effect of amending or modifying, in any way, the Contract Substantial Completion date or milestone dates or of modifying or limiting, in any way, Contractor’s obligations under this Contract.

E. Schedule Revisions
Updating the Schedule (Initial and Original) to reflect actual progress shall not be considered revisions to the Schedule. Since scheduling is a dynamic process, however, revisions to activity durations and sequences are expected on a monthly basis.

To reflect revisions to the Schedule, provide City with a written narrative with a full description and reasons for each Work activity revised. For revisions affecting the sequence of Work, provide a schedule diagram that compares the original sequence to the revised sequence of Work. Provide the written narrative and schedule diagram for revisions three Days in advance of the monthly schedule update. Clearly show and discuss any changes in the critical path.

Schedule revisions shall not be incorporated into any schedule update until City has reviewed the revisions. City may request further information and justification for schedule revisions and, within three Days, provide City with a complete written narrative response to City’s request.

If City does not accept Contractor’s revision, and Contractor disagrees with City’s position, Contractor has seven Days from receipt of City’s letter rejecting the revision, to provide a written narrative providing full justification and explanation for the revision. Contractor’s failure to respond in writing within seven Days of City’s written rejection of a schedule revision shall be contractuall y interpreted as acceptance of City’s position, and Contractor waives its rights to subsequently dispute or file a claim regarding City’s position. If Contractor files a timely response as provided in this paragraph, and the parties are still unable to agree, Contractor’s sole right shall be to file a claim as provided in this Document.

At City’s discretion, Contractor can be required to provide Subcontractor certifications of performance regarding proposed schedule revisions affecting said Subcontractors.

F. Recovery Schedule
If a Schedule update shows a substantial completion date 21 Days beyond any Contract Substantial Completion date, or individual Milestone completion dates, submit to City within seven Days the proposed revisions to recover the lost time. As part of this submittal, provide a written narrative for each revision made to recapture the lost time. If the revisions include sequence changes, provide a schedule diagram comparing the original sequence to the revised sequence of Work. If Cit y requests, show the intended critical path; secure appropriate Subcontractor and supplier consent to the recovery Schedule; submit a narrative explaining trade flow and construction flow changes, duration changes, added/deleted activities, critical path changes and identify all near critical paths and man hour loading assumptions for major Subcontractors.

The revisions shall not be incorporated into any Schedule update until City has reviewed the revisions.

If City does not accept Contractor’s revisions, City and Contractor shall follow the procedures in paragraphs above.

At City’s discretion, Contractor can be required to provide Subcontractor certifications for revisions affecting said Subcontractors.

G. Time Impact Evaluation (TIE) For Change Orders and Other Delays When Contractor is directed to proceed with changed work, prepare and submit, within 14 Days from the direction to proceed, a TIE that includes both a written narrative and a schedule diagram depicting how the changed work affects other schedule activities. The schedule diagram shall show how Contractor proposes to incorporate the changed work in the schedule, and how it impacts the current Schedule update critical path or otherwise. Contractor is also responsible for requesting time extensions based on the TIE’s impact on the critical path. The diagram shall be tied to the main sequence of scheduled activities to enable City to evaluate the impact of changed work to the scheduled critical path.

City of Cupertino 00700-70 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
Comply with the requirements of this Section for all types of delays such as, but not limited to, Contractor/Subcontractor delays, adverse weather delays, strikes, procurement delays, fabrication delays, etc.

Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with the preparation of TIEs, and the p rocess of incorporating TIEs into the current schedule update. Provide City with four copies of each TIE.

Once agreement has been reached on a TIE, the Contract Time will be adjusted accordingly. If agreement is not reached on a TIE, the Contract Time may be extended in an amount City allows, and Contractor may submit a claim for additional time claimed by Contractor as provided in this Document.

H. Time Extensions
Contractor is responsible for requesting time extensions for time impacts that, in the op inion of Contractor, impact the critical path of the current schedule update. Notice of time impacts shall be given in accordance with this Document

Where an event for which City is responsible impacts the projected Substantial Completion date, provide a written mitigation plan, including a schedule diagram, which explains how (e.g., increase crew size, overtime, etc.) the impact can be mitigated. Also include a detailed cost breakdown of the labor, equipment, and material Contractor would expend to mitigate City-caused time impact. Submit mitigation plan to City within 14 Days from the date of discovery of said impact. Contractor is responsible for the cost to prepare the mitigation plan.

Failure to request time, provide TIE, or provide the required mitigation plan will result in Contractor waiving its right to a time extension and cost to mitigate the delay.

No time will be granted under the Contract Documents for cumulative effect of changes.

City will not be obligated to consider any time extension request unless requirements of Contract Documents are complied with.

Failure of Contractor to perform in accordance with the current schedule update shall not be excused by submittal of time extension requests.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if Contractor does not submit a TIE within the required 14 Days for any issue, Contractor hereby agrees that Contractor does not require a time extension for that issue.

I. Project Status Reporting
In addition to submittal requirements for scheduling identified in this Section, provide a monthly project status report (i.e., written narrative report) to be submitted in conjunction with each Schedule as specified herein. Status reporting shall be in form specified in this paragraph below.

6. Status of major material and equipment procurement.

7. Any delays encountered during reporting period.

8. Provide printed report indicating actual versus planned resource (labor, materials and equipment) loading for each trade and each activity. This report shall be provided on weekly and monthly basis.
a. Actual resource shall be accumulated in field by Contractor, and shall be as noted on Contractor’s daily reports. These reports will be basis for information provided in monthly and weekly printed reports.
b. Explain all variances and mitigation measures.

9. Contractor may include any other information pertinent to status of Project. Include additional status information requested by City at no additional cost.

10. Status reports, and the information contained therein, shall not be construed as claims, notice of claims, notice of delay, or requests for changes or compensation.

At the close of each workday provide City with report of Contractor and its Subcontractors’ work activities for that day, including trades, equipment, work activities worked on, staff levels, and equipment deliveries.

7.5 Temporary Suspension of Work
By written order to Contractor, City may suspend the Work wholly or in part for an indefinite period, or for such period as City may deem necessary, for any of the following reasons:

 Weather conditions or other conditions which are unfavorable for the proper prosecution of the Work;  Failure of Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provisions of the Contract; or  The convenience and benefit of City.

Such suspension shall be effective upon receip t by Contractor of the written order suspending the Work and shall be terminated upon receipt by Contractor of the written order terminating the suspension.

If, under authority of Convenience and benefit of City, as stated above, City orders a suspension of all or a portion of the Work, which is the current controlling operation, it will be cause for a time extension if it affects the controlling item of Work.

7.6 Liquidated Damages – Not Applicable
In case all the Work called for under the Contract in all parts and requi rements is not finished or completed within the number of days as set forth in Document 00520 (Contract), it is agreed that damage will be sustained by City, and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the ac tual damage which City will sustain in the event of and by reason of such delay; and it is, therefore, agreed that Contractor will pay to City the sum set forth in Document 00520 (Contract) per day for each and every day’s delay in finishing the Work in ex cess of the number of days prescribed; and Contractor agrees to pay said liquidated damages herein provided for, and further agrees that City may deduct the amount thereof from any moneys due, or that may become due, to Contractor under the Contract.

7.7 Termination of Control
Failure to supply an adequate working force or material of proper quality, or in any other respect to prosecute the Work with the diligence and force specified by the Contract, is grounds for termination of Contractor’s control over the Work and for taking over the Work by City.

7.8 Termination of Contract for Cause
Contractor shall be in default of the Contract Documents and City may terminate Contractor’s right to proceed under the Contract Documents, for cause, should Contractor c ommit a material breach of the Contract Documents and not cure such breach within ten (10) calendar days of the date of notice from City to Contractor demanding such cure; or, if such breach is curable but not curable within such ten (10) day period, withi n such period of time as is reasonably necessary to accomplish such cure. (In order for Contractor to avail itself of a time period in excess of 10 calendar days, Contractor must provide City within the ten (10) day period with a

City of Cupertino 00700-72 General Conditions
Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
written plan acceptable t o City to cure said breach, and then diligently commence and continue such cure according to the written plan).

In the event of termination by City as provided above for cause, Contractor shall deliver to City possession of the Work in its then condition, including but not limited to, all designs, engineering, Project records, cost data of all types, plans and specifications and contracts with vendors and subcontractors, all other documentation associated with the Project, and all construction supplies and aids dedicated solely to performing the Work which, in the normal course of construction, would be consumed or only have salvage value at the end of the construction period. Contractor shall remain fully liable for the failure of any Work completed and m aterials and equipment provided through the date of such termination to comply with the provisions of the Contract Documents.

Upon receipt of Contrac tor’s formal claim including all arguments, justifications, cost or estimates, schedule analysis, and documentation supporting its position as previously stipulated, City or its designee will review the issue and render a final determination. City may in its discretion conduct an administrative hearing on Contractor’s claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer questions and inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City to evaluate and decide Contractor’s c laim.

SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SECTION INCLUDES:

Requirements for compliance with environmental do cuments, resource agency standard s, and related environmental regulations.

1.02 Not Used

1.03 ARCHAEOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE AREAS

General: It is the intent of the City to comply with all State and Federal laws related to the protection of cultural resources. Contractor’s attention is directed to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (36 CFR 800, revised 1999). California Public Resources Code Chapter 1.7, Section 5097.5 makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to knowingly disturb a historical feature. California Public Resources Code Sections 5097.98 and 5097.99 require protection of N ative American remains which might be discovered and outline procedures for handling any burial found. The California Public Resources Code Section 5097.9 and Health and Safety Code 7050 require coordination with the State Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC).

Contractor’s attention is directed to the fact that the project site is near an archaeologically sensitive area, but is not known to contain any archaeological or cultural resources. However, it is possible that the project could reveal as yet unknown prehistoric or historic archaeological resources. Work shall comply with applicable measures.

A. Upon disco very of possible buried prehistoric and historic cultural materials (including potential Native American skeletal remains), work within 25 feet of the find shall be halted and the City shall be notified. The City shall retain a qualified archaeologist to review and evaluate the find.

Construction work shall not begin again until the archaeological or cultural resources consultant has been allowed to examine the cultural materials, assess their significance, and offer proposals for any additional exploratory measures deemed necessary for the further evaluation of, and/or mitigation of adverse impacts to, any potential historical resources or unique archaeological resources that have been exposed. If the discovery is determined to be a unique archaeological or historical resource, and if avoidance of the resource is not possible, the archaeologist shall inform the City of the necessary plans for treatment of the find(s) and mitigation of impacts. The treatment plan shall be designed to result in the extracti on of sufficient non -redundant archaeological data to address important regional research considerations. The City shall insure that the treatment program is completed. The work shall be performed by the archaeologist and shall result in a detailed techni cal report that shall be filed with the Northwest Information Center, Sonoma State University.

Construction in the immediate vicinity of the find shall not recommence until treatment has been completed. If human remains are discovered, they shall be hand led in accordance with State law including immediate notification of the County Medical Examiner/Coroner.

B. All excavation contracts for the project shall contain provisions for stop -work in the vicinity of a find exposing archaeological resources during subsurface construction. In addition, the contract documents shall recognize the need to implement any mitigation conditions required by the permitting agency. In general, the appropriate construction conditions should be included in any contract that has the potential for ground disturbing operations.

City of Cupertino 00820 - 2 Special Environmental Conditions Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016

1.04 TREE PROTECTION ZONES AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS

Tree protection zones (TPZs) include installation of protective fencing and sensitive work within these areas, under the direction of the City and City’s Arborist.

If fo r any reason construction requires the removal of a protected tree , a tree removal permit would have to be obtained in advance from the City. All requirements for removal as stated in the tree removal permit, including installation of replacement trees, would have to be followed.

Potential impacts to protected trees on or adjacent to the site resulting from construction activities would be minimized by implementing measures consistent with Chapter 14.18, Appendix A of the Cupertino Municipal Code:

Standards for the Protection of Trees during Grading and Construction Operations of the City of Cupertino Tree Ordinance.

All tree pruning shall be completed or supervised by a certified arborist or the City arborist, unless otherwise acceptable to City, and adhere to the Best Management Practices for Pruning of the ISA.

Contractor’s attention is directed to the fact that the project site is in a natural setting which includes wildlife that may be temporarily disturbed by construc tion activities. Although routine maintenance activities may usually proceed, unusual activities or construction activity may require establishment of an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) if a sensitive or protected species establi shes in the project area and could be adversely affected . If needed, the exact location of the boundaries of ESA(s) shall be established by the City’s representative.

Contractor shall place temporary high visibility fence at the boundary of each ESA. Within the boundaries of the fenced ESA, no project related activities shall take place. Contractor shall preserve and protect the ESA at all times and is prohibited from entering fenced ESA for any purpose. This specifically prohibits vehicle access, stora ge, or transport of any materials, including hydrocarbon and lead contaminated materials or any other project related activities. An ESA shall only be removed upon written direction from the Engineer.

1.05 WILDLLIFE PROTECTIVE MEASURES

The environmental review process has identified biological measu res that shall be applied as wildlife protective measures and shall be implemented before, during, and after construction. Contractor shall comply with all project permits and the following provisions as a requirement of the Contract:

A. Creek Corridor & Wetlands

Contractor shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent incidental incursions of personnel, equipment or materials into wetlands, creek channel areas and adjacent vegetation that are outside the noted work limits. Contractor shall remain wit hin designated work area limits during construction along creek areas within the project limits. No work is permitted below the top of bank unless specifically noted in the contract documents.

B. Western Pond Turtle (WPT), California Red -Legged Frog (CRLF) and San Francisco Dusky -footed Woodrat

Special-status wildlife species could potentially be affected by project activities. All work shall be performed in accordance with applicable permit and resource agency requirements and applicable regulations:

The following avoidance measures shall be implemented.

City of Cupertino 00820 - 3 Special Environmental Conditions Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
If during the course of work WPT or wood rats are detected, work in the vicinity shall be suspended and the Contractor shall immediately notify the City. City shall provide a biologist or qualified monitor to assist in providing proper guidance and protection of the animal(s).

In the past, CD FW has approved protocols for the WPT stating that if a turtle is detected, the turtle will be observed to determine if it is moving through the area in which it was detected or if the animal is occupying the habitat for nesting, foraging, or basking. Dur ing construction activities within the immediate area of the turtle detection, a City -provided biologist or qualified monitor will work with construction crews. If the animal is relocated during construction activities, the monitor will observe the turtle and alert work crews to delay work if it is within the work area or begins to move toward or into the work area. If the turtle appears to be traveling from upland habitat to a nearby aquatic site, work shall cease until the turtle has traveled a safe dis tance from the immediate project site. The monitor shall observe the animal from a distance to ensure it does not wander back into the work area.

If the turtle is relocated and appears to be occupying the habitat within the project footprint for activities such as nesting, basking, or foraging, the City or its representatives will contact CDFW for guidance.

If at any time during construction San Francisco dusky -footed woodrat are detected, work shall be suspended in the vicinity and Contractor shall imme diately notify the City. City shall provide a biologist or qualified monitor to assist in providing proper guidance and protection of the animal(s).

CDFW should be contacted on how to proceed (since they are State Species of Special Concern).

These mammal s live year round in their houses, which are essential for their survival. Woodrats dwell in moderately -dense to dense riparian habitats, such as those found along portions of Stevens Creek. CDFW has generally accepted the following guidelines for avoidan ce/minimization of effects on San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat houses, listed in order of priority and implementation:

 The project work will be rerouted to avoid the woodrat house by at least 50 feet.  If the work cannot be rerouted at least 50 feet fro m the house, it will be rerouted as far away from the house as possible but not closer than 5 feet from the house. Safety and/or silt fencing (for houses downslope) will be erected around all houses within 25 feet of the construction activity to avoid impacts during construction.  If the project footprint must go directly through or within 5 feet of a house, CDFW should be consulted with one of the two following options:

1. If the house appears inactive seek approval from CDFW to dismantle the house and replace the lost resource by building an artificial house. One artificial house should be built for every one existing inactive house.

2. If the house appears active, approval will be sought from CDFW to: 1) trap the occupant(s) of the house, 2) dismantle th e house, 3) construct a new artificial house with the materials from the dismantled house, and 4) release the occupant into the new artificial house. The new house should be placed as close to its original location as feasible and as far from the project footprint as necessary to be protected from construction activities. If the house is to be moved downslope of the project footprint, extra precautions should be taken, such as a plywood barrier, to stop falling/sliding materials from impacting the new hou se. Houses should only be moved in the early morning during the non -breeding season (October through February). If trapping has occurred for 3 consecutive nights and no woodrats have been captured, the house should be dismantled and a new house constructed.

Speed Limit. Vehicles shall not drive more than 5 miles per hour within the project area. If any woodrats, WPT or CRLF are seen in the path of a vehicle, the vehicle shall stop until the animal is out of the path. Parked vehicles shall be checked underneath before they are moved to ensure that no protected wildlife is on the ground below the vehicle.

City of Cupertino 00820 - 4 Special Environmental Conditions Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
C. Bats

Bats are protected by California Department of Fish and Game Code Section 4150 and are considered nongame mammals. Nongam e mammals or parts thereof may not be taken or possessed except as provided by code or in accordance with adopted regulations.

D. Noise

Contractor shall limit work to the hours noted elsewhere . Any deviation from these hours shall be approved in writing by City.

Contractor shall maintain and operate all equipment consistent with the manufacturer’s specifications.

Construction equipment will include available noise suppression devices and properly maintained mufflers.

Contractor shall site fixed and mobile equipment to minimize noise emissions outside the right -of-way, and shall minimize the staging of construction equipment and unnecessary idling of equipment in the vicinity of residences and other sensitive receptors.

1.06 RAPTORS AND OTHER NESTING BIRDS

The Contractor is to note that nesting/breeding birds, including raptors, may be present in the project area. For all migratory birds except raptors, the nesting season in the project area is c onsidered to be from February 15 th to August 31 st. It is against the law to harm these birds or their eggs or active nests, and other wildlife , as per the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the California Fish and Game Code.

All work shall be performed in accordance with the measures below.  Vegetation, tree, and building or structure removal activiti es within the project area should be scheduled if feasible to take place outside of the nesting season (Feb. 1 to Aug. 31) to avoid impacts to nesting birds. Every attempt shall be made to protect trees that contain raptor nests.  Raptors: If an active raptor nest is located during the raptor breeding season, (February 1 to August 31), Contractor sh all notify City and be prepared to modify work procedures around the active raptor nest or establish an ESA if required.
 Other Nesting Birds: In the event that an active nest or roost is d iscovered in the construction areas, or in adjacent areas considered by the City biologist to be disturbed by construction, the Contractor shall notify City and be prepared to establish an ESA as directed by the City. Routine maintenance may normally continue, however no construction activity may occur within the ESA until City coordinates with appropriate authorities to develop alternatives to avoid take of the nest. Once consultation is complete, work may begin/resume when permission is obtained from City to remove the ESA.

1.07 BEE HIVES

Bee hives are known to occur within trees and below ground in close proximity to and within the work limits. At the joint site walk referenced in Section 1.06 above, known existing bee hives will also be identified.

Contractor shall address stinging insects in their Safety Plan, and shall conduct safety training and provide personal protective equipment (PPEs) for working around stinging insects as needed. Contractor shall inform workers to be aware of bee hives and exercise caution not to disturb hives during work related activities.

No hives shall be disturbed outside the work limits. If a previously unidentified hive is discovered within the work limits, Contractor shall notify the City immediately and inform workers of the newly identified hive. In the event

City of Cupertino 00820 - 5 Special Environmental Conditions Blackberry Farm Golf Course Maintenance 2016
that a hive is disturbed, Contractor shall notify the City and conduct work in proximity of hive in accordance with the approved Safety Plan.

1.08 SUDDEN OAK DEATH

The Contractor is responsible for complying with any requirements regarding Sudden Oak Death (SOD), including any requirements from the Santa Clara Agricultural Commissioner or federal agencies regarding quarantines for plant material.

The Con tractor shall be thoroughly familiar with the provisions of 7 CFR Part 301, Phytophthora Ramorum; Quarantine and Regulations (Federal Register Vol. 67, No. 31 6827 -6837, dated Thursday, February 14, 2002), hereafter referred to as the Rules and Regulations.

The Contractor shall avoid activities that could result in a need to comply with the specified Rules and Regulations to the maximum extent practicable. In the event that a situation arises that cannot be avoided involving one or more of the quarantined species, soils or other regulated materials as defined therein, the Contractor shall implement the provisions in the specified Rules and Regulations. Furthermore, the Contractor shall contact the Santa Clara County Agriculture Commissioner (SCCAC) for additional information and direction.

The City shall be notified immediately in the event a situation arises requiring compliance with the Rules and Regulations and subsequent notification of the SCCAC. Furthermore, documentation shall be provided to the City enumerating the steps taken to comply.

The Contractor shall follow precautionary measures to help limit the inadvertent spread of SOD disease , including but not limited to the following:

a. Conduct operations during the dry season as much as possible and in a manner that will minimize and prevent wet soil, mud and plant material adhering to vehicles, equipment, and boots; utilize paved and rocked roads and landings to the extent possible.
b. Inspect material and equipment before it ent ers the site to ensure that no host material (soil or attached pieces of plants) is being transported into the site.
c. Completely clean all mud, dirt and soil from shoes, boots, vehicles and equipment that were used on any site within a SOD zone, to remo ve soil and any imbedded host plant material, prior to bringing such items to the work site.
d. Equipment coming from potentially SOD-infested sites must be completely cleaned of soil and plant material at that site and inspected carefully to ensure potent ial SOD-containing soil, or parts of plants, is not transported to the project site.
e. All plants and all soil material that is brought to the site for use in the project must be from SOD -free sources and SOD-free regions, and must be able to provide appropriate documentation or certification. f. If Contractor equipment or forces have worked in a SOD zone:

 Prepare and use sanitation kits consisting of chlorine bleach and water (10:90 mixture of bleach:water), Clorox Cleanup (registered trademark) or Lysol (registered trademark), a scrub brush, metal scraper, or boot brush; and plastic gloves.
 Disinfect tools used in tree removal and pruning with Lysol spray, a 70% or greater solution of alcohol or a Clorox solution (1 part Clorox: 9 parts water, or Clorox Clean-up). If eq uipment such as a chain saw cannot be treated with disinfectants, consider run nit it through a non -host plant before leaving the infested site to break fee any lodged material.
 Sanitize shoes, pruning gear, and other equipment before working in the project area.  Before leaving a SOD disease infected site, use all reasonable methods to sanitize gear and equipment.

Scrape, brush, and/or hose off accumulated soil andmud from clothing, gloves, boots, and shoes.

Remove mud, earth and plant d ebris by blowing out or power washing trucks and other equipment and vehicles. If complete on -site sanitation is not possible, finish decontaminating at a local power was facility or an isolated area in an equipment yard.

1.09 HYDROLOGY AND FLOODING
Much of the land along Stevens Creek including Blackberry Farm Park and Golf Course , and some or all of the proposed work site, falls within a known flood plain and is subject to flooding during storm and high water events.

Flooding can occur swiftly and with n o advance notice. Upstream of the project site, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) operates the Stevens Creek Reservoir and Dam. SCVW D may choose to implement releases of water from the reservoir without notice that may exacerbate high water o r flood conditions in the Stevens Creek Corridor. Flooding can inundate portions of the work site within the flood plain at any time during the rainy season.

Furthermore, such flood waters can bring aquatic wildl ife, including federally -threatened steelh ead, into the work site. Steelhead are federally protected and any harm to them or to their habitat can result in severe penalties.

Because of these circumstances, the Contractor must be prepared to completely clear the work site and to completely remove all equipment, tools, materials and other property from the work site if flooding conditions may occur. A special effort shall be made to remove first any items that could harm water quality or harm wildlife should they come into contact with creek waters . Contractor shall be prepared to implement such a clearing effort immediately , 24 hours per day, 7 days per week throughout the flood season (October 15 to April 30). It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to keep himself or herself apprised of weather and storm conditions during this time that could lead to a high water event. The Contractor’s attention i s directed to the SCVWD website which contain information about reservoirs’ status at http://alert.valleywater.org/gageresv-cross.html., and information about stream guaging stations including an upstream Stevens Creek stream guage, Alert ID #1482 at http://alert.valleywater.org/gagestrm.html.

The data are guaranteed as accurate but provide reference information that can be useful.

In the event of a significant flood event, the City would also close th e trail corridor and would post signage at the Stevens Creek Boulevard/Sa n Fernando Avenue and McClellan Ranch Road entrances alerting trail users of this closure.

1.10 OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PROJECT

Contractor and Subcontractors shall comply with the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1776, 1777.5, and 1777.6 concerning the employment of apprentices by Contractor or Subcontractors. Willful failure to comply may result in penalties, including loss of the right to Bid on or receive public works contracts.

Section 1777.5, as amended, requires a Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradespersons in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site of a public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certification of approv al. The certificate shall also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeypersons that will be used in performance of the Contract. The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeypersons in such cases shall not be less than one hour of apprentices work for every five hours of labor performed by journeypersons (the minimum ratio for the land surveyor classification shall not be less than one apprentice for each five journeypersons), except:

A. When unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent;

B. When the number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of one to five;

C. When a trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through apprenticeship training on an annual basis state-wide or locally; or

D. Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition which would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyperson.

Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for administration of apprenticeship programs if Contractor employs registered apprentices or journeypersons in any apprenticeable trade on such contracts and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

17. WILDLIFE CONSIDERATIONS

Contractor is to note that a number of federally- and state-protected wildlife species inhabit the Stevens Creek corridor and portions of the golf course. Among the species are steelhead fish, turtles, woodrats, various birds of prey such as hawks, owls and white-tailed kites, and various migratory birds and songbirds. These animals and their habitat are protected by various federal and state regulations. Those regulations affect activities that could affect wildlife directly or indirectly, including actions on the golf course that could affect the creek and its water quality. Such actions include fertilizer use, pesticide use, irrigation practices, operation of the golf course ponds, vehicle washing, and other procedures.

Contractor shall meet with City staff and representatives annually to review maintenance activities relative to these considerations. Contractor is encouraged meet with City representatives more frequently as needed to ensure compliance. Further considerations are noted below.

18. TERRESTRIAL WILDLIFE

VEGETATION TRIMMING AND REMOVAL: No vegetation along the creek edge shall be trimmed or removed from February 1 to August 31, unless it has been reviewed for presence of nests and protected wildlife by a biologist or qualified professional or the City Naturalist.

TREE REMOVAL: Certain trees are protected by City ordinance. No tree shall be removed or significantly pruned without advance approval by the City representative.

BIRD BREEDING SEASON: Breeding season for raptors, birds of prey such as hawks and owls, is normally from February 1 to August 31, with highest activity usually from early or mid March onward. Most such birds and their nests and breeding are protected by law. Routine golf course operations may proceed during breeding season.

However, during this time contractor shall endeavor to reduce disturbing activities, such as loud noises or vibration, within 250 feet of a raptor nest site and within 400 feet of a white-tailed kite nest site. Songbird nests are generally protected within a 100 foot radius.

RODENTICIDE USE: Use of any and all rodenticides [to poison squirrels, gophers, mice, rats] or chemicals is banned, unless authorized in advance in writing by the City.

LIGHTING: Contractor is to minimize use of nighttime lighting, especially in the vicinity of the creek. Contractor is to operate the golf maintenance facility in a manner that minimizes use of outdoor lighting to the extent feasible. Lights shall only be used Blackberry Farm Golf Course
Maintenance 2016 TECHNICAL PROVISIONS Page 11 of 13
when workers are present, unless the City provides advance authorization in writing.

This stricture applies to outdoor lighting of the maintenance yard.

EMISSIONS: Contractor is to minimize the use of exhaust- and emission-producing equipment to the extent compatible with performance of the work. Contractor shall favor the use of equipment powered by electrical, batteries or hand rather than diesel, gas or oil, as feasible.

WILDLIFE REPORTING:

Contractor shall report any observations of the following to the City representative within 1 working day:
 active raptor nests
 turtles
 woodrats [potentially San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat]  frogs [potentially California red-legged frog]
 salamanders [potentially California tiger salamander]  other potentially protected wildlife

19. AQUATIC WILDLIFE

Federally-threatened steelhead inhabit the section of Stevens Creek that is adjacent to the golf course, year round. This fish species is highly protected. Their survival depends on clean cool water, free of harmful levels of fertilizers, pesticides, storm water runoff pollutants, and organic waste. The principal methods to achieve this are minimizing total use of these contaminants, restricting the type of inputs, and having an acceptable method of application via an Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM). The City has adopted such a plan as discussed elsewhere in this document.

Contractor is strongly encouraged to operate in conformance with Pilot Salmon Safe Certification Standards for Golf Courses, latest version (March 2014, draft 1.3) available at www.salmonsafe.org.

Due to adverse impacts on fish an aquatic wildlife, use of the following pesticides is not allowed.

Blackberry Farm Golf Course
Maintenance 2016 TECHNICAL PROVISIONS Page 12 of 13

If use of any of these pesticides is desired, Contractor must submit written documentation to City to demonstrate a clear need for use of the pesticide, that no safer alternatives exist, and that the method of application (such as timing, location, and amount used) represents a negligible risk to water quality and fish habitat. Contractor must secure authorization in advance from City and any involved regulators including Resource Agencies that use of the pesticide may proceed.

Note that some of these pesticides are included on the San Francisco Reduced Risk Pesticide List (“SF List”). They are hereby deleted from the SF List since they are not suitable for use near creeks and include but are not limited to:
 Triclopyr

Blackberry Farm Golf Course
Maintenance 2016 TECHNICAL PROVISIONS Page 13 of 13
These pesticides are not to be used on the golf course unless written authorization is secured in advance.

20. WATER QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS: Protection of creek & ponds

RUNOFF: No runoff from any applications of chemicals, pesticides or fertilizer shall flow into creeks or ponds, including runoff from allowable products. No runoff other than clean rainwater shall flow into the creek. Contractor shall consider weather conditions and watering regimes in order to schedule application of fertilizer, pesticides and chemicals in a manner that prevents runoff to creeks or ponds. Contractor shall operate irrigation system and watering activities in a manner that prevents irrigation runoff as well.

EQUIPMENT WASHING: All equipment shall be washed within the equipment washoff area in the golf maintenance yard, or in an equivalent offsite facility that filters wash water and is connected to the sanitary sewer system. Screens shall be cleaned of grass clippings and other material after each use. No washing is permitted elsewhere.

POND MAINTENANCE: Ponds shall be kept free of excessive vegetation.

Vegetation removal shall be done with hand or mechanical means. Such removal shall be timed to avoid wildlife breeding seasons in consultation with the City. Timing will ordinarily be September to January, or potentially as late as mid March if nesting and protected wildlife are not present.

A pond outlet/overflow pipe within the lower pond provides an emergency discharge to the creek. This outlet pipe must be capped at all times with a tight, sturdy, secure, 3/32” square mesh or tighter screen that is acceptable to City. If slotted the maximum opening width is 1/16”. Pond water level shall be maintained sufficiently below the outlet pipe elevation such that NO POND WATER ENTERS THE OUTLET nor flows to the creek. Contractor shall check the screen to ensure that it is tight, intact and clear at least monthly and shall maintain the mesh in a clear clean condition.

When ponds are in operation, ponds shall be maintained with adequate water level to maintain habitat for existing fish and wildlife populations, unless the City authorizes otherwise. Ponds shall be operated in a manner that prevents algae growth. Avoid over fertilization that contributes to algae growth.
