LOCAL PREFERENCE

Fresno Municipal Code Section 4- 108 LOCAL PREFERENCE IN CONTRACTS REQUIRING COMPETITIVE BIDDING provides for a local preference. That applicable to public work of improvement contracts are paraphrased as follows:

Except for those contracts funded by the federal or state government when such funding would be jeopardized because of this preference, the Council authorizes the Purchasing Manager to extend a preference to a local business as expressly set forth herein. For purposes of this section, “local business” shall mean a business with a fixed primary or branch office either (i) within a twenty-five-mile radius of Fresno City Hall, located at 2600 Fresno Street in the City of Fresno, or (ii) within the County of Fresno; and which fixed primary, or branch office was established prior to the City inviting bids for the respective purchase.

The preference shall be extended consistent with each of the following:
(i) The amount of the preference shall be equal to the amount of the percentage applied to the lowest responsive and responsible bid.
(ii) If the Bidder submitting the lowest responsive and responsible bid is not a local business, and if a local business has also submitted a responsive and responsible bid, and, with the benefit of the preference, the local business’ bid is equal to or less than the original lowest responsive and responsible bid, the City shall award the Contract to the local business at its submitted bid price.
(iii) The Bidder shall certify, under penalty of perjury, that the Bidder qualifies as a local business. The preference is waived if the certification does not appear on the bid. (iv) The bidder shall certify, under penalty of perjury, that it will self -perform at least 30% of the contract amount with individuals who reside in Fresno County. (v) The Bidder shall certify, under penalty of perjury, that at least 50% of the contract value would be performed by either the bidder or subcontractor meeting the local preference criteria.

For (iv) and (v), in determining compliance with the minimum percentages, work performed by residents of states other than California will be excluded from the calculation.

Bidders shall submit the CERTIFICATION FOR LOCAL PREFERENCE form with their bid if they seek the benefit of local preference.

SUBSTITUTION OF MATERIALS

Where specific names are used in conjunction with materials, they are mentioned as standards, but this implies no right upon the part of the Contractor to substitute other materials or methods without permission of the Engineer.

FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

670645v1

If manufacturers or brands are used or listed in conjunction with products, equipment or materials in these Specifications without the words “or equal,” equals are allowed. Except in those instances where the product is designated as “No Substitution Allowed,” the Specifications will list at least two brands or trade names of comparable quality or utility followed by the words “or equal.” Where “or equal(s)” are allowed for any product, equipment or materials, they must meet all the requirements of the Specifications to the satisfaction of the City and must be in current production.

EXCEPTIONS

Any exceptions taken at the time of or after bid submittal may render the bid nonresponsive.

Attachments by Bidders which include legal terms and conditions that conflict with the GENERAL CONDITIONS may be considered an exception, and Bidder may, therefore, be considered nonresponsive.

This Contract may be modified only by written instrument duly authorized and executed by both City and Contractor in accordance with City’s current contract change order resolution for public works of improvement as may be revised.

CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL TIME
Extension of time, when granted, will be based upon the effect of delays to the project as a whole and will not be granted for noncontrolling delays to minor included portions of the Work unless it can be shown that such delays did, in fact, delay the progress of the project as a whole. The Contractor shall not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to these delays except to the extent the FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

51 670645v1
delay exceeds the original Contract duration for Substantial Completion, and any extension hereunder other than any extension granted due to Owner caused delay, when Owner is responsible for the delay, the delay is unreasonable under the circumstances involved, not within the contemplation of the parties, and such delay causes actual damage to the Contractor. The Owner shall not be entitled to liquidated damages for Contractor delays unless the delay by Contractor exceeds the original Contract duration for Substantial Completion and any extension of time to which the Contractor is entitled to under the Specifications.

If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of the Contractor, such delays will entitle the Contractor to an extension of time as provided herein. War, governmental regulations, priorities, labor disputes, strikes, fires, floods, adverse weather necessitating cessation of Work, other similar action of the elements, inability to obtain materials, equipment or labor because of Federal Government restrictions arising out of the National Defense or War Program, required Extra Work, action or inaction by the Owner, or other specific reasons as may be further described in the Specifications may constitute such a delay.

If the Contractor is delayed by the failure of the Owner to furnish necessary rights of way or materials agreed to be furnished by it, or by failure to supply necessary plans or instructions concerning the Work, after written request therefore, the Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time as provided herein.

CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
(a) General
The Contractor and Owner shall make good faith efforts to resolve any and all Claims and disputes in a timely manner that may from time to time arise during Contractor's performance of the Work.

Claims, including those alleging an error or omission shall be directed to the Owner's Construction Manager for action as provided in the “Resolution of Claims and Disputes,” below.

It shall be a condition precedent to Claims review by the Capital Projects Director or his or her designated representative and to mediation or litigation between the Contractor and Owner as to all such matters arising prior to the date final payment is due, that a formal decision on all Contractor Claims be made by the Construction Manager. It shall be a condition precedent that the Contractor appeal any disputed Claim to the Capital Projects Director prior to initiating mediation or litigation. It shall be a condition precedent that the Contractor mediate any disputed Claim through non-binding mediation as provided herein, prior to initiating litigation. Unless mutually waived in writing by both parties, these provisions apply regardless of 1) whether such matters relate to execution and progress of the Work, or 2) the extent to which the Work has been completed.

Notice of Intent to Claim by Contractor must be made within 72 hours after occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim, or within 72 hours after the claimant first discovers or should have reasonably discovered the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Notice of Intent to Claim and Claims must be made by written notice.

At all times during the course of the dispute resolution process pursuant to the “Resolution of Claims and Disputes,” the Contractor shall continue with the Work as directed, in a diligent manner and without delay, or shall conform to the Owner's decision or order, and shall be governed by all applicable provisions of the Contract. Records of the Work shall be kept in sufficient detail to enable payment in accordance with applicable provisions in the Contract if this should become necessary.

The making of final payment shall not constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner including, but not limited to, the following:
(i) liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

52 670645v1
unsettled;
(ii) failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or (iii) terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.

Contractor shall promptly provide an unconditional waiver and release upon final payment in accordance with California Civil Code section 3262 and these Contract Documents. Except to the extent of any Claim arising from City’s sole or active negligence, and except to the extent Contractor expressly describes any other disputed Claims for which prior written notice has been given the City and lists the respective dollar amounts in an unconditional waiver and release, the making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Contractor pertaining to any and all costs, expenses, changes or other Claims related to Contract Price or Contract Time, including any synergistic effects attributed to multiple Change Orders. In the event of any disputed Claims between the City and Contractor, the City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed 150% of the disputed amount.
(b) Resolution of Claims and Disputes
(1) Decision of Construction Manager:
a. If the Contractor believes any Work or demand to be outside the requirements of the Contract or believes that omissions, conflicts, errors, or discrepancies will cause or have caused the Contractor additional costs or delays in the performance of the Work, he/she shall file a written Notice of Intent to Claim with the Construction Manager within 72 hours after occurrence of the event giving rise to the Claim, or within 72 hours after the Contractor or its subcontractor first discovers or should have reasonably discovered the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. If a written Notice of Intent to Claim is not submitted within this time period, the Contractor shall waive his or her right to further Claims on the issue and any synergistic effects related to such Claim.

1. Within 10 working days following the Notice of Intent to Claim, the Contractor shall provide a Notice of Claim with complete supporting data for the Claim of the cost and delay related to such omissions, conflicts, errors, discrepancies, or Work alleged to be outside the requirements of the Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all supporting data cannot reasonably be made available within said 10 working days, then Contractor shall provide all then available supporting data along with a request for additional time, stating a time certain, to obtain the remainder of supporting data along with both an explanation of the nature of such supporting data and the reason why additional time is necessary to provide same to the Construction Manager.

2. If a written Notice of Claim, along with complete supporting data or all then available supporting data and reasonable request for additional time with explanation as required above, is not submitted within 10 working days following the Notice of Intent to Claim, the Contractor shall waive his or her right to make further Claims on the issue and any synergistic effects related to such Claim.

3. The Contractor’s request for additional time to provide the remainder of its supporting data shall be deemed acceptable to Owner unless the Construction Manager rejects in writing Contractor’s request within 5 working days from receipt of Contractor’s request. If the Construction Manager rejects Contractor’s request for additional time, then Contractor shall either provide complete supporting data FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

53 670645v1
immediately upon receipt of such rejection or within any time acceptable to the Construction Manager as stated in his or her written rejection, whichever is later (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by Contractor and Construction Manager).
b. The Construction Manager will review any and all Claims and take one or more of the following preliminary actions in writing within 10 working days of receipt of written Notice of Claim and complete supporting data: 1) request additional supporting data from the Contractor; 2) reject the Claim in whole, or in part, stating reasons for rejection; or, 3) recommend approval of the Claim. In the event the Construction Manager has not taken any preliminary action within 10 working days, then the Claim is deemed rejected unless the Contractor and the Construction Manager mutually agree in writing to extend the time period for taking preliminary action. The Construction Manager will make his or her decision on the basis of the pertinent Contract provisions, together with the facts and circumstances involved in the dispute. The Construction Manager may also, but is not obligated to, notify the surety on Contractor's performance bond of the nature and amount of the Claim. c. If the Construction Manager requests additional supporting data from the Contractor, the Contractor shall supply the additional information to the Construction Manager within 10 working days unless the Contractor and the Construction Manager mutually agree in writing to extend the time period for supplying such information. The Construction Manager will have 10 working days from the receipt of additional supporting data to provide a written decision unless the Contractor and the Construction Manager mutually agree in writing to extend the time period for providing such decision. In the event the Construction Manager has not provided a written decision within 10 working days, or any extended time period agreed to in writing by Construction Manager and Contractor, then the Claim is deemed rejected and this shall constitute Contractor’s automatic request for an appeal meeting with the Capital Projects Director unless the Contractor submits a written withdrawal of its Claim. d. If the Claim is rejected in whole or in part by a written decision of the Construction Manager, the Contractor shall notify the Construction Manager in writing within 10 working days after receiving the written decision that either: 1) the decision is accepted, and the Claim is amended accordingly; or 2) the Contractor requests an appeal meeting with the Capital Projects Director. Failure to timely request an appeal meeting with the Capital Projects Director following receipt of the written decision constitutes acceptance by the Contractor of the Construction Manager's decision.

If the Owner and Contractor are able to resolve their dispute, the Owner will promptly process any required Contract changes.
(2) Decision of Capital Projects Director
a. The Capital Projects Director , or his or her designee, shall meet with the Contractor and the Construction Manager within 15 working days (unless necessary to accommodate the Capital Projects Director’s schedule, or that of his or her designee, but in no event longer than 20 working days; or unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by Contractor and Construction Manager) from the Contractor's timely submittal of his or her request, or any automatic request hereunder, for a meeting. The Contractor may make a presentation in support of his or her Claim. No attorney may take part in the presentation or defense of the Claim in the meeting with the Capital FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

54 670645v1
Projects Director, or his or her designee. Nothing herein shall prevent an attorney from providing advice to a party either before or after the meeting. In the event the meeting with the Capital Projects Director , or his or her designee, has not been conducted within the time provided herein or as agreed upon in writing by Contractor and Construction Manager, then the Claim is deemed rejected and, unless the Contractor submits a written withdrawal of its Claim, the parties shall proceed to mediation as provided herein.
b. Within 10 working days (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by Contractor and Construction Manager) from the meeting with the Contractor and the Construction Manager, the Capital Projects Director, or his or her designee, shall render a written decision and a copy thereof shall be personally delivered, or mailed return receipt requested, to the Contractor. In the event the Capital Projects Director , or his or her designee, has not provided a written decision within 10 working days, or any extended time period agreed to in writing by Construction Manager and Contractor, then the Claim is deemed rejected and, unless the Contractor submits a written withdrawal of its Claim, the parties shall proceed to mediation as provided herein. c. If the Claim is rejected in whole or in part by a written decision of the Capital Projects Director, or his or her designee, the Contractor shall notify the Construction Manager in writing within 10 working days after receiving the written decision that either: 1) the decision is accepted and the Claim is amended accordingly; or 2) the Contractor rejects the decision of the Capital Projects Director, or his or her designee. Failure to timely notify the Construction Manager of either following receipt of the Capital Projects Director’s written decision, or that of his or her designee, shall constitute acceptance by the Contractor of the Capital Projects Director ’s decision, or that of his or her designee. If the Owner and Contractor are able to resolve their dispute, the Owner will promptly process any required Contract changes. If the Contractor rejects the written decision of the Capital Projects Director or his or her designee, the parties shall proceed to mediation as provided herein.
(3) Mediation
a. In the event that the Claim is not resolved after exhausting all aforementioned administrative measures, then the Contractor must participate in non- binding mediation with City before the Contractor may initiate litigation. b. The parties shall mutually select, in writing, a mediator with at least 5 years’ experience in the construction industry. In the event that the parties are unable to agree on a mediator within 15 working days of Contractor’s rejection of the decision of the Capital Projects Director or his or her designee, the City may select the mediator. Mediation, including at least one session requiring physical attendance by all parties, shall begin within 15 working days of selection of the mediator, unless necessary to accommodate the mediator’s schedule. The parties shall share the mediator’s fees and any administrative costs of mediation equally. The mediation shall be held in Fresno, California, unless another location is mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing.

In the event the parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the Claim within 20 working days of the start of mediation, unless extended or otherwise terminated by written mutual agreement of the parties, mediation shall terminate.
c. If the Owner and Contractor are able to resolve their dispute the Owner will promptly FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

55 670645v1
process any required Contract changes. Any settlement reached in principal must be in writing and is subject to approval by the City Manager or City Council consistent with City laws and policies. Should the dispute remain unresolved, the parties may resort to other dispute resolution procedures.
d. All statements made during the mediation shall be confidential and subject to sections 703.5, 1119 and 1152 of the California Evidence Code.
(4) Government Claims Act. Nothing herein is intended by the parties to waive any requirements of the Contractor to comply with the Government Claims Act including, without limitation, California Government Code section 905; and Contractor agrees that it shall remain responsible for complying with said section regarding any Claim. The parties agree, however, that the timeline for the Contractor to file a claim under the Government Claims Act is tolled until exhaustion of the Contractor of its administrative remedies hereunder (i.e., either upon termination of mediation, or upon written mutual waiver of mediation by the parties, whichever first occurs). (5) Litigation
a. If the Contractor continues to dispute the Work demanded of him/her after exhausting all aforementioned administrative measures, the Contractor may institute legal proceedings, but only after final acceptance of the project by the Owner.

Unless specifically waived by the Owner, in writing, the submission of a dispute for mediation in accordance with the above provisions shall be a condition precedent to the Contractor's right to initiate a suit, action or other proceeding against the Owner for damages.
b. In the event Owner initiates suit, action, or other proceeding against the Contractor for damages, the prevailing party in such suit or action shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit.
c. In the event Contractor initiates suit, action, or other proceeding against the Owner, the Owner shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and engineering defense costs if the Contractor is not awarded, by the arbitrator or court, a dollar amount greater than 50 percent of the Contractor's original Claim for damages. d. The Contractor shall include, or cause to be included, a requirement in all subcontracts of all tiers of Subcontractors for this project that whenever the Subcontractor disputes the Work demanded of him/her, he/she shall cooperate and comply with the Claims and Dispute procedures contained herein including, without limitation, exhausting all administrative measures prior to instituting legal proceedings, and instituting legal proceedings only after final acceptance of the project by the Owner.

MEDIATOR
The bid proposal includes a bid item “Mediator” which is provided to account for compensation by Owner for Owner’s share of costs of the Mediator as provided in these Specifications. The dollar amount listed in the bid item is an estimate only and will be included in each Bidder’s Proposal.

Invoices of the Mediator shall be paid by Contractor only upon direct written authorization from the Owner.

Final payment to Contractor will be based on fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of Owner approved invoices of the Mediator actually billed to Owner by Contractor. The Contractor shall include the specified lump sum bid item on the Bid Proposal for payment of Owner’s share of costs for FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

56 670645v1
the Mediator. Payment will be made under this bid item by issuance of a Change Order approved by the Owner and charged against this lump sum allocation.

This bid item may be increased, decreased, or deleted in its entirety and is not to be construed as additional money owed the Contractor. If no Change Order is issued against this bid item, the Contract Price shall be reduced by the full amount of the bid item included in the Bid Proposal for the Mediator.

The Contractor shall have no claim for anticipated overhead or profit should the Owner fail to issue any Change Orders against this bid item.

PROGRESS PAYMENTS AND RETENTION
The Construction Manager will, after award of a Contract, establish a monthly payment date. This date will be the date during the life of the Contract, which will terminate each working month. Each month, the Construction Manager will make an approximate measurement of the Work performed to that date and estimate its value based on the Contract Unit Prices. When the Work has been satisfactorily completed, the Construction Manager will determine the quantity of Work performed and prepare the final estimate of its value.

Progress payments for lump- sum items or amounts will be in accordance with a well -balanced, detailed program of payment -apportioning in the Schedule of Values, prepared by the Contractor and submitted to the City for approval. Such payment-apportioning may require modifications during the Contract term, as determined by the City.

The Schedule of Values for each lump- sum item shall show fixed definable and measurable quantities where possible and unit prices developed and assigned by the Contractor to the different features of the Work and major subdivisions thereof. The summation of extensions of quantities and unit prices and related costs shall equal the amount of the lump-sum price in the Contract Schedule of Quantities and Prices. The Schedule of Values shall also provide the Indirect Markup Rates for Overhead and Profit associated with each bid item.

Applications for progress payments will be based on the approved Schedule of Values and from the approved progress schedule, reflecting the progress which occurred during the payment period as approved by the City.

Unless a greater percentage of retention is otherwise specified in the Contract Documents to be withheld from progress payments, 5% will be deducted from each progress estimate and retained by the City; and the remainder, less the amount of any previous payment for the Work performed, will be paid to the Contractor subject to other provisions of this section. The City retains the option, at its discretion, to reduce any retained amount by payment to the Contractor upon conditions or otherwise.

Under no circumstance shall any provision of this section be construed to limit the ability of the City to withhold 150 percent of the value of any disputed amount of Work from the final payment. In the event of a good faith dispute, nothing in this section shall be construed to require the City pay for Work that is not approved or accepted in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.

The payment of progress payments by the City shall not be construed as an absolute acceptance of the Work done up to the time of such payments.

If within the time fixed by law, a properly executed stop notice is filed with the City due to Contractor's failure to pay for labor or materials used in the work, all money due for such labor or materials will be withheld from payment to the Contractor in accordance with applicable laws.

FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

57 670645v1
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract, the City reserves the right to off -set any payment due the Contractor against any debt due from the Contractor to the City, pursuant to this Contract.

COMPLETION
When Contractor considers the Work ready for its intended use, the Contractor shall notify the City in writing that the Work is substantially complete. The Contractor shall attach to this request a list of all work items that remain to be completed and a request that the City prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, the City and Contractor shall inspect the Work to determine the status of completion and to the extent that City agrees the Project is substantially complete. If the City does not consider the Work substantially complete, the City will notify Contractor in writing of the reasons therefore and Contractor shall promptly correct all items identified by the City.

The City and Contractor shall repeat the above-referenced procedure until all items are completed to the City’s satisfaction, whereupon City shall issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion.

On the date that the City issues the Certificate of Substantial Completion, the City shall provide Contractor with the final punch list identifying the remaining minor corrective items to be completed for final completion of the Project.

When the Contractor considers the final punch list work to be complete, it shall request City to perform a final walk through of the Project to determine if said punch list work is complete and whether Contractor has otherwise completed all of its obligations under the Contract Documents.

The City shall record the Notice of Completion when the entire Work including, but not limited to Contractor’s closeout document obligations are fully satisfied, Contractor’s punch list(s) and work shall have been completed to the satisfaction of the City.

However, the City, at its sole option, may accept completion of the Contract and have the Notice of Completion recorded when the entire Work including individual portions of the Work shall have been completed to the satisfaction of the City, except for minor corrective items, as distinguished from incomplete items.

Regardless of the cause therefore, the Contractor may not maintain any claim or cause of action against the City for damages incurred as a result of its failure or inability to complete its Work on the Project in a shorter period than established in the Contract Documents, the parties stipulating that the period set forth in the Contract Documents is a reasonable time within which to perform the work on the Project.

EXTENSION OF TIME - LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
The Contractor and City hereby agree that the exact amount of damages for failure to complete the work within the time specified is extremely difficult or impossible to determine. Contractor shall be assessed the sum as set forth in the Contract, as liquidated damages for each and every day the work required under the Contract Documents remains unfinished past the time for completion, as set forth in the Contract Documents, and any extensions of time granted by the City to the Contractor under the terms of the Contract Documents. The Contractor will pay to the City or City may retain from amounts otherwise payable to the Contractor, said amount for each day after failure to meet the requirements of the contract completion as scheduled in the Contract. For purposes of this Item, section Work shall be considered complete in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing section entitled “COMPLETION” and issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion.

Contractor shall not be charged for liquidated damages, as set forth above, because of any delays in completion of Work which are not the fault or negligence of Contractor, or its subcontractors, or persons or entities for which it is responsible, including, but not restricted to acts of God, as set forth FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

58 670645v1
herein.

FINAL APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT AND FINAL PAYMENT
After Contractor has completed all of the remaining Work items, and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules guarantees, bonds, certificates of inspection, and As -Built drawings, marked up Record documents, and any other close out documents required by the Contract Documents, and after the City has indicated that Contractor has achieved Final Completion (including, without limitation, all final punch list work), Contractor may make application for final payment following the City’s procedure for progress payments. The final application for payment shall be accompanied by all documentation called for in the Contract Documents for making of progress payments together with complete and legally effective releases and waivers of all encumbrances arising out of or related to the Work.

After Contractor has satisfied all of the conditions of the preceding paragraph, Contractor shall submit its application for final payment and release of retention. Said application shall set forth the following information, at a minimum:
(1) Cost of the Work in permanent place as of the end of the immediately preceding month as shown on the updated Project Schedule and Schedule of Values submitted with the Contractor’s application;
(2) Less amounts previously paid and previously withheld as retention; (3) The amount currently due; and
(4) An itemized list of disputed amounts, if any.

Contractor’s application for final payment shall also be accompanied by Conditional Waivers and Releases Upon Final Payment executed by Contractor and by all subcontractors for whom payment is requested.

If the Contractor fails to complete the punch list work or corrective items prior to the expiration of 35 calendar days immediately following issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion, the City shall withhold from the final payment an amount equal to 150% of the estimated cost, as determined by the City, of each item until such time as the item is completed. Alternatively, at the end of such 35-day period, if there are items remaining to be corrected, the City may elect to proceed to withhold a sufficient amount, which in City’s judgment may be necessary to cover the cost of incomplete and defective work. In the event of a dispute between the City and Contractor over the amount due, the City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed 150% of the disputed amount.

Subject to the provisions of the Contract Documents, City shall make final payment of undisputed amounts to Contractor no later than 45 calendar days after City’s receipt of Contractor’s properly submitted application for final payment.

PAYMENTS WITHHELD
In addition to any amount which City may retain under the Contract Documents, City may withhold a sufficient amount of the Contract price otherwise due to Contractor, which in City’s judgment may be necessary to cover:
(1) Payments which may be past due and payable for just claims against Contractor or any subcontractors, or against and about the performance of work on the Project. (2) The cost of defective work, which Contractor has not remedied.

FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

59 670645v1
(3) Liquidated damages assessed against Contractor.
(4) Penalties for violation of any labor laws or deficient certified payroll. (5) The cost of materials or equipment ordered by the City as it may deem advisable (this right is reserved by City in the event of any neglect by Contractor in furnishing materials in ample quantities and at such times as to ensure uninterrupted progress of the Work) in order that the Work may be completed by the date specified in the Contract documents.

SECURITIES IN LIEU OF RETENTION PERMITTED AND ESCROW
AGREEMENT (PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 22300)
Pursuant to provisions of section 22300 of the California Public Contract Code, Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by Owner. Procedures shall be as provided in section 22300 of the California Public Contract Code.
(a) Provisions shall be included in any invitation for bid and in any contract documents to permit the substitution of securities for any moneys withheld by a public agency to ensure performance under a contract, provided that substitution of securities provisions shall not be required in contracts in which there will be financing provided by the Farmers Home Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture pursuant to the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. Sec. 1921 et seq.), and where federal regulations or policies, or both, do not allow the substitution of securities. At the request and expense of the contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the public agency, or with a state or federally chartered bank in this state as the escrow agent, who shall then pay those moneys to the contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the securities shall be returned to the contractor. (b) Alternatively, the contractor may request, and the owner shall make payment of retentions earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the contractor. At the expense of the contractor, the contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities and the contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for in this section for securities deposited by the contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the contractor shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments received by the escrow agent from the owner, pursuant to the terms of this section. (c) Securities eligible for investment under this section shall include those listed in Section 16430 of the Government Code, bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed to by the contractor and the public agency. The contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for moneys withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. Failure to include these provisions in bid and contract documents shall void any provisions for performance retentions in a public agency contract. For purposes of this section, the term “public agency” shall include, but shall not be limited to, chartered cities.
(d) (1) Any contractor who elects to receive interest on moneys withheld in retention by a public agency shall, at the request of any subcontractor, make that option available to the subcontractor regarding any moneys withheld in retention by the contractor fr om the subcontractor. If the contractor elects to receive interest on any moneys withheld in retention by a public agency, then the subcontractor shall receive the identical rate of interest received by the contractor on any retention moneys withheld from the subcontractor by the contractor, less any actual pro rata costs associated with administering and calculating that interest. In the event that the interest rate is a fluctuating rate, the rate for the subcontractor shall be determined by calculating the interest rate paid during the time that retentions were withheld from the subcontractor. If the contractor elects to substitute securities in lieu of retention, then, by mutual consent of the contractor and subcontractor, the subcontractor may substitute securities in exchange for the release of moneys held in retention by the contractor. (2) This subdivision shall apply only to those subcontractors performing more than five percent of the contractor’s total bid. (3) No contractor shall require any subcontractor to waive any provision of this section.

FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

66 670645v1
(e) The Legislature hereby declares that the provisions of this section are of statewide concern and are necessary to encourage full participation by contractors and subcontractors in public contract procedures.
(f) The escrow agreement used hereunder shall be null, void, and unenforceable unless it is substantially similar to the following form:

A. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI Manual" applicable to substrates and paint systems indicated.

B. Remove hardware, covers, plates, and similar items already in place that are removable and are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or impossible because of size or weight of item, provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and painting.

1. After completing painting operations, use workers skilled in the trades involved to reinstall items that were removed. Remove surface-applied protection.

C. Clean substrates of substances that could impair bond of paints, including dust, dirt, oil, grease, and incompatible paints and encapsulants.

1. Remove incompatible primers and reprime substrate with compatible primers or apply tie coat as required to produce paint systems indicated.

2. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

D. Concrete and Masonry Substrates: Remove release agents, curing compounds, efflorescence, and chalk. Perform appropriate tests to determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces; testing shall be performed or witnessed by a certified representative of the paint manufacturer. Do not paint surfaces if moisture content or alkalinity of surfaces or mortar joints exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.

1. Cracks and defects at concrete and masonry surfaces shall be filled with cement grout; match surface texture.

2. Clean concrete floors to be painted with a 5 percent solution of muriatic acid or other etching cleaner. Flush the floor with clean water to remove acid, neutralize with ammonia, rinse, allow to dry, and vacuum before painting.

E. Steel Substrates: Remove rust, loose mill scale, and shop primer if any. Clean using methods recommended in writing by paint manufacturer but not less than the following:

1. Steel Structures Painting Council's (SSPC), SSPC-SP 3, "Power Tool Cleaning." F. Shop-Primed Steel Substrates: Clean field welds, bolted connections, and abraded areas of shop paint, and paint exposed areas with the same material as used for shop priming to comply with SSPC-PA 1 for touching up shop-primed surfaces.

G. Galvanized-Metal Substrates: Remove grease and oil residue from galvanized sheet metal by mechanical methods to produce clean, lightly etched surfaces that promote adhesion of subsequently applied paints.

H. Wood Substrates: Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper, as required.

1. Scrape and clean knots. Before applying primer, apply coat of knot sealer recommended in writing by topcoat manufacturer for exterior use in paint system indicated.

2. Sand surfaces that will be exposed to view, and dust off. 169

3. Prime, stain, or seal wood to be painted immediately on delivery. Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides of wood.
a. When transparent finish is required, backprime with spar varnish. b. Backprime paneling on interior partitions where masonry, plaster, or other wet wall construction occurs on backside.
c. Seal tops, bottoms, and cutouts of unprimed wood doors with a heavy coat of varnish or sealer immediately on delivery.

4. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in the finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand smooth when dried.

I. Materials Preparation: Mix and prepare paint materials according to manufacturer's written instructions.

1. Maintain containers used in mixing and applying paint in a clean condition, free of foreign materials and residue.

2. Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform density. Stir as required during application. Do not stir surface film into material. If necessary, remove surface film and strain material before using.

3. Use only thinners approved by paint manufacturer and only within recommended limits.

J. Drywall: Fill any cracks or defects with drywall joint compound. Sand any rough spots smooth.

Do not raise nap on paper covering.

3.3 APPLICATION
A. General: Apply paints according to manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI Manual." Paint/stain exposed surfaces, except where schedules indicate that a surface or material is not to be painted/stained or is to remain natural. If schedules do not specifically mention an item or surface to be painted, paint the item or surface the same as similar adjacent materials or surfaces whether or not schedules indicate colors. If the schedules do not indicate color or finish, the Engineer will select from standard colors and finishes available.

1. Use applicators and techniques suited for paint and substrate indicated.

2. Paint surfaces behind movable items same as similar exposed surfaces. Before final installation, paint surfaces behind permanently fixed items with prime coat only.

3. Paint both sides and edges of exterior doors and entire exposed surface of exterior door frames.

4. Paint front and backsides of access panels, removable or hinged covers, and similar hinged items to match exposed surfaces.

5. Do not paint over labels of independent testing agencies or equipment name, identification, performance rating, or nomenclature plates.

6. Primers specified in painting schedules may be omitted on items that are factory primed or factory finished if acceptable to topcoat manufacturers.

7. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.

8. The term "exposed surfaces" includes areas visible when permanent or built-in fixtures, convector covers, covers for finned- tube radiation, grilles, and similar components are 170
FAX Maintenance Building Steam Bay Renovation, Bid File No. 12600496

670645v1
in place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain the system integrity and provide desired protection.

9. Do not paint prefinished items, concealed surfaces, finished metal surfaces, operating parts, and labels.
a. Prefinished items include the following factory-finished components:
1) Metal Doors.
2) Finished mechanical and electrical equipment.
3) Light fixtures.
4) Distribution cabinets.
b. Labels: Do not paint over Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Factory Mutual (FM), or other code-required labels or equipment name, identification, performance rating, or nomenclature plates.

B. If undercoats or other conditions show through topcoat, apply additional coats until cured film has a uniform paint finish, color, and appearance.

C. Apply paints to produce surface films without cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, roller tracking, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections. Cut in sharp lines and color breaks.

D. Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated, or otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface deterioration.

1. The number of coats and the film thickness required are the same regardless of application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has cured as recommended by the manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to manufacturer's written instructions, sand between applications.

2. Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup painted.

3. If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply additional coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give special attention to ensure edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.

4. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and where application of another coat of paint does not cause the undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.

E. Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators according to manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI Manual."

1. Brushes: Use brushes best suited for the type of material applied. Use brush of appropriate size for the surface or item being painted.

1. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of Stantec’s geotechnical investigation for the proposed improvements to the existing FAX maintenance facility in Fresno, California. The project location is shown on the Site Location Map, Figure 1 and the approximate area of the proposed development is shown on the Site Vicinity Map, Figure 2.

1.1 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
We understand the proposed FAX maintenance facility improvements will include construction of a 20-foot by 50-foot addition and a 25-foot by 90-foot addition to the existing bus carwash, three solar parking canopies totaling approximately 15,400 square feet (sf), two new guard shacks, removal of the four existing underground storage tanks, and replacement of approximately 2.5 acres of pavement and landscape areas. The site is currently at the proposed rough grade elevation. The area of the proposed site improvements is shown on the Subsurface Exploration Map, Figure 3.

1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK

1.2.1 Purpose
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the subsurface conditions at the site and provide geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of the proposed project. This report has been prepared in general accordance with accepted geotechnical eng ineering principles and in general conformance with the approved proposal.

1.2.2 Scope of Work
Our scope of work consisted of the following:
• Review available subsurface information for the site and nearby locations, • Perform a site reconnaissance to evaluate general geotechnical and site conditions, • Perform a field subsurface exploration program consisting of drilling nine hollow stem auger (HSA) borings and two cone penetrometer test (CPT) soundings, • Perform geotechnical laboratory tests on selected samples, • Perform geotechnical engineering analyses, and

2. FIELD INVESTIGATION

2.1 PRE-DRILLING PROCEDURES
Underground Service Alert (USA) was notified before commencing subsurface exploration activities to identify underground utilities that could conflict with the proposed borings. In addition, a private utility locator was retained to clear the boring locations for potential conflicts with underground utilities.

2.2 DRILLING OPERATIONS
Nine test borings (B-1 through B-9) were drilled using a CME 65 drill rig equipped with hollow-stem augers on August 24, 2018 through August 25, 2018 by Technicon Engineering Services, Inc . The borings were advanced to depths of approximately 5.5 feet to 51.5 feet below the existing ground surface (bgs), and their approximate locations are shown on the Subsurface Exploration Map, Figure 3. The borings were logged by a Stantec field geologist, who also collected samples of the materials encountered for examination and laboratory testing.

2.3 SAMPLING
Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using a modified California (CAL) sampler, which is a ring -lined split tube sampler with a 3 -inch outer diameter and 2½ -inch inner diameter. CAL sampling followed ASTM D3550 (Standard Practice for Ring -Lined Barrel Sampling of Soils) procedures. Disturbed samples were obtained using a Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler, which is a split tube sampler with a 2 -inch outer diameter and 1⅜ -inch inner diameter. SPTs were performed in general accordance with ASTM D1586 (Standard Test Method for Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils), and D6066 (Standard Practice for Determining the Normalized Penetration Resistance of Sands for Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential). Disturbed bulk samples were also obtained from the drill cuttings.

The CAL and SPT samplers were driven with a 140-pound weight dropping 30 inches. The number of blows per 6-inch increment is noted on the borings logs. T echnicon provided hammer energy reports dated July 16, 2015 and January 24, 2016 . The reports indicate that the average hammer energy efficiency on the drill rig used at the project was 81.4% and 80% , respectively.

Samples were classified in the field using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), in accordance with ASTM D2488 (Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils [Visual- Manual Method]) procedures. The laboratory testing confirmed or modified field classifications as necessary for presentation on the boring logs. Soil samples were removed from the samplers, placed in appropriate containers, and transported in accordance with ASTM D4220 (Standard Practice for Preserving and Transporting Soil Samples). Upon completion, borings were backfilled

with soil and capped with concrete in the upper three feet . The boring logs are included in Appendix A.

2.4 CONE PENETRATION TESTS
Two CPT’s were completed on September 24, 2018 by Middle Earth Geo Testing Inc. under th e direction of a Stantec engineer. The CPT soundings were performed in general accordance with ASTM D6441 (Standard Test Method for Mechanical Cone Penetration Tests of Soils).

The CPT’s were advanced using a truck mounted CPT rig to a maximum depth of app roximately

51.5 feet bgs at the locations shown on Figure 2. Piezo-cone penetrometers were advanced using a push rod equipped with an instrumented penetrometer tip. Relatively continuous tip, side friction, and dynamic pore pressure data were collected for each CPT sounding. Upon completion, the non -collapsed portion of the CPT holes were filled with grout. The CPT report is included in Appendix A.

4. GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SITE CONDITIONS

4.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The site is located in the southern portion of the Great Valley Geomorphic Province in Central California. This region is characterized as a 50-mile-wide and 400-mile-long sediment- filled trough in which the sediments have been deposited, almost continuously, since the Jurassic period.

Geology of the Great Valley generally consists of marine and continental deposits resting on a basement complex of metamorphic and igneous rocks. Locally, the site resides within the San Joaquin Valley. Geology within the San J oaquin Valley and the project area mainly consists of Jurassic to recent, marine, alluvial, and lake deposits that are several thousand feet thick.

The regional surficial geology is described as Quaternary Alluvial Fan deposits of the Holocene era consisting of granitic sand and silt (CDMG, 1965).

4.2 SURFACE CONDITIONS
The site is occupied by the existing FAX maintenance yard, which is approximately 11 acres in size, located within the larger City of Fresno complex , which is approximately 38 acres in size, that encompasses several other departments. The FAX maintenance yard includes large paved parking and driveway areas, a n 11,000 sf administrative building, a 40,000 sf service building, an 8,000 sf carwash, a 19,000 sf and 34,000 sf solar canopy, and landscape areas. The project site is bound by G Street followed by vacant land to the northeast, the eastbound onramp to California (CA) Highway 180 from northbound CA Highway 99 to the northwest and southwest, and the City of Fresno Sanitation, Sewer Maintenance, and General Services divisions to the southeast.

The project site area is generally flat. Based on Google Earth®, the ground surface ranges from an approximate elevation of 284 feet at the southwestern portion of the site to 288 feet at the northeastern portion of the site (WGS84 Datum).

4.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The materials encountered in our borings consist of undocumented fill (Af) and Quaternary Age Alluvial Sand deposits (Qf). A brief description of the subsurface conditions is provided in this section. Detailed descriptions of the su bsurface conditions are provided in the boring log s included in Appendix A.

Undocumented Fill - Undocumented fill was encountered in soil boring B5 completed at the site and extends to a depth of approximately 4.3 feet bgs. An approximate 5 to 14 -inch thick pavement section consisting of asphalt concrete with and without crushed rock base course was

encountered at the exploration locations B2 through B9. The fill material underlying the pavement section at soil borin g B5 generally consists of silty sand (Unified Soil Classification Symbol (USCS):

SM).

Alluvial Fan Deposits (Qf) – Recent Holocene deposits were encountered from the ground surface in all soil borings , with the exception of soil boring B -5, and extend to depths of at least 51.5 feet bgs. The Holocene deposits encountered at the soil boring locations primarily consist of sand with variable amounts of silt and clay (SW, SP, SW-SM, SP-SM, SC, and SM), sandy clay (CL), and sandy silt (ML). The sandy deposits encountered were very loose to very dense and generally moist. The fine-grained deposits were very stiff to hard and moist.

Groundwater - Groundwater was not encountered during this investigation. We understand that groundwater was encountered as shallow as 103 feet bgs in a groundwater monitoring well located approximately 1.7 miles east of the site (Technicon, 2015) and approximately 5 feet higher in elevation. Groundwater levels may fluctuate in the future due to rainfall, irrigation, broken pipes, or changes in site drainage.

5. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS

5.1 FAULTING AND SURFACE FAULT RUPTURE
The site is located in a seismically active area. The estimated distance from the site to selected nearby mapped active faults is presented in the table below.

As noted above, the closest known active fault is the Great Valley 11 Fault, located approximately

39.5 miles southwest of the site. No active faults are known to underlie or project toward the site.

Therefore, the probability of surface fault rupture at the site from a known active fault is considered low.

5.2 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE SEISMIC CRITERIA
A geologic hazard likely to affect the project is ground-shaking as a result of movement along an active fault zone in the vicinity of the subject site. The seismic parameters in accordance with the 2016 California Building Code (CBC) are presented below:

5.3 LIQUEFACTION AND DYNAMIC SETTLEMENT
Liquefaction is the transformation of a deposit of soil from a solid state to a liquefied state as a consequence of increased pore pressure and reduced effective stress. Often, this transformation results from the cyclic loading of an earthquake and the soil acquires “mobility” sufficient to permit both horizontal and vertical movements. Soils that are most susceptible to liquefaction are clean, loose, saturated (below groundwater), and uniformly graded sands. The vast majority of liquefaction hazards are associated with sandy soils and silty soils of low plasticity. Cohesive soils are generally not considered susceptible to soil liquefaction , although they can be subject to cyclic softening if they are soft enough, and if the seismic demand is relatively high .

The site is not located in a California Geological Survey Liquefaction Hazard Zon e. This zone is defined as areas where historical occurrence of liquefaction, or local geological, geotechnical and groundwater conditions indicate a potential for permanent ground displacements such that mitigation would be required.

Loose to very dense cohesionless soil is generally present from ground surface to a depth of at least 51.5 feet at the site. This soil is generally not susceptible to liquefaction due to the depth to groundwater. Accordingly, the onsite soils are not considered to be susceptible to liquefaction induced settlement.

5.4 LIQUEFACTION INDUCED LATERAL SPREADING
Liquefaction induced lateral spreading can occur in areas of sloping ground, or towards a free face. Given the low potential for liquefaction, the depth to groundwater and soil conditions, the potential for liquefaction induced lateral spreading is considered low .

5.5 FLOODING, TSUNAMIS AND SEICHES
The site is not located within a FEMA flood zone, therefore, damage due to flooding is considered low.

The site property is not located within a Tsunami Inundation Area; therefore, damage due to tsunamis is considered low.

5.6 EXPANSIVE SOILS
The near -surface soils (upper approximate 10 feet) have a low expansion potential. Our soil classifications and laboratory test results show that the near surface (upper 10 feet) samples tested are granular with non-plastic fines. Accordingly, mitigation for expansive soils is not considered necessary for onsite soils at this site.

If imported soils are used for earthwork, Stantec recommends that the proposed soils be tested for expansion potential prior to import. Imported soils should be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer before being imported.

6. CONCLUSIONS
Based on our field exploration, laboratory testing and engineering and geologic analyses, it is our opinion that the subject property is suitable for construction of the proposed retail gasoline facility from a geotechnical engineering and engineering geology viewpoint; however, there are existing geotechnical conditions associated with the s ite that warrant mitigation and/or consideration during the planning stages. The main geotechnical conclusions for the project are pre sented in the following paragraphs.
• The site is underlain by shallow undocumented fill and Quaternary Age Alluvial Fan deposits from the ground surface in all soil borings and extend to depths of at least 51.5 feet bgs. The undocumented fill and alluvial fan deposits encountered primarily consist of sand with variable amounts of silt and clay (SW, SP, SW -SM, SP-SM, SC, and SM), sandy clay (CL), and sandy silt (ML). Undocumented fill extends to a depth of approximately 4.3 feet in one of the borings performed. • Groundwater was not encountered during this investigation. We understand that groundwater was encountered as shallow as 103 feet bgs in a groundwater monitoring well located approximately 1.7 miles east of the site ( Technicon, 2015 ) and approximately 5 feet higher in elevation.
• The liquefaction and lateral spread potential at the site is considered low. • Based on the low potential for liquefaction induced settlement, conventional shallow foundations appear to be a suitable option for support of the propose d bus wash building addition and parking lot canopies.
• No active faults are known to underlie or project toward the site. Therefore, the probability of surface fault rupture occurring at the site from a known active fault is considered low.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 EARTHWORK
The following recommendations are provided regarding specific aspects of the proposed earthwork construction. These recommendations should be considered subject to revision based on additional geotechnical evaluation of the conditions observed by the Geotechnical Engineer during grading operations.

7.1.1 Site Preparation
Site preparation should begin with the removal of existing buried slabs and foundations, vegetation, highly organic soil, leach lines, septic tanks , and any other unsuitable materials , as applicable. Existing underground utilities within the proposed construction areas should be completely removed and/or rerouted. Grading should conform to the guidelines presented in the 2016 California Building Code (CBC, 201 6), as well as the pertinent requirements of the City of Fresno and Fresno County.

7.1.2 Remedial Grading
Bus Wash Foundation and Guard Shack Areas:

To provide uniform support for the proposed bus wash additions and guard shack buildings , removal of the existing soils to a minimum depth of 2 feet below the bottom of the footings across the entire structure footprint is recommended. Removal, replacement, and compaction should be completed laterally at least five feet beyond the outside edge of the footings or slab unless constrained by existing structures . The bottom of the over excavation should be scarified to a depth of 8 -inches, moisture conditioned to within 2 percentage points of the optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 90% relative compaction based on the ASTM D1557 laboratory test procedure. All references to optimum moisture content and relative compaction in this report are based on this test method.

Concrete Pavement and Hardscape:

Remedial grading for pavement and hardscape areas should include scarifying the upper 12 inches of the subgrade soil, moisture conditioning to slightly above the optimum moisture content, and recompacting to a dry density of at least 95% of the laboratory maximum dry density.

Subgrade elevation is defined as the top of soil elevation provided in the grading plan.

Hardscape subgrade should be compacted to at least 90% relative compaction.

Field Observations:

The Geotechnical Engineer should check the bottom of excavations. If soft, loose, or otherwise unsuitable soils are encountered, the depth of removal may need to be extended.

7.1.3 Fill Placement and Compaction
Excavated materials determined by the Geotechnical Engineer to be satisfactory can be reused as compacted fill. We anticipate that the majority of the excavated materials can be re -used as compacted fill soils . The Geotechnical Engineer should approve the fill material before placement.

Where large compaction equipment is used, f ill should be placed in 6 - to 8-inch thick loose , horizontal lifts, moisture conditioned to within 2 percentage points of the optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 9 0% relative compaction. Thinner lifts will be required for smaller compaction equipment. The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the evaluation of relative compaction should be determined in accordance with ASTM D1557.

7.1.4 Yielding Subgrade Conditions
The soil encountered at the bottom of the remedial grading excavations can exhibit “pumping” or yielding if they become saturated in response to periods of significant precipitation, such as during the winter rainy season. If this occurs , corrective measures should be performed with oversight from the Geotechnical Engineer.

In order to help stabilize t he yielding subgrade soils within the bottom of the removal areas, the contractor can consider the placement of stabilization fabric or geo-grid over the yielding areas, depending on the relative severity of the yielding.

Mirafi 600X (or approved equivalen t) stabilization fabric may be used for areas with low to moderate yielding conditions. Geo-grid such as Tensar TX-5 may be used for areas with moderate to severe yielding conditions. Uniform sized, ¾ - to 2-inch crushed rock should be placed over the stabilization fabric or geo -grid. A 6 - to 12 -inch thick section of crushed rock will typically be necessary to stabilize yielding ground.

If significant voids are present in the crushed gravel, a filter fabric should be placed over the crushed gravel to prevent migration of fines into the gravel and thus potential settlement of the overlying fill. Fill soils, which should be placed and compacted in accordance with the recommendations presented herein, should then be placed over the fabric or geo -grid until design grades are reached. The crushed gravel and stabilization fabric or geo-grid should extend at least 5 feet laterally beyond the limits of the yielding areas.

7.1.5 Dewatering
Groundwater was not encountered during our investigation to a maximum depth of 51.5 feet bgs.

Accordingly, we do not anticipate that groundwater will be a significant consideration for this project.

7.1.6 Expansive Soil
The near -surface soils (upper approximate 10 feet) have a low expansion potential. Our soil classifications and laboratory test results show that the near surface (upper 10 feet) samples tested are granular with non -plastic fines. Accordingly, mitigation for expansive soils is not considered necessary at this site. The grading and foundation recommendations presented in this report reflect a low expansion potential.

7.1.7 Imported Material
Imported materials, if used for fill, should be predominately granular, contain no rocks or lumps greater than 3 inches in maximum dimension, and have an Expansion Index less than 20, and a Plasticity Index less than 15 . Imported materials should be reviewed and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer before being brought to the site.

7.1.8 Site Excavation Characteristics
It is anticipated that excavations can be achieved with conventional earthwork equip ment in good working order.

7.1.9 Oversized Material
Excavations may generate oversized material. Oversized material is defined as rocks or cemented clasts greater than 3 inches in largest dimension. Oversized material should be broken down to no greater than 3 inches in largest dimension for use in fill or be removed from the site .

7.1.10 Temporary Excavations
The existing native soils can be considered Type B for excavation in accordance with OSHA and Cal-OSHA requirements. Temporary excavations should be shored or excavated with a slope not steeper than 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) in accordance with OSHA and Cal- OSHA requirements.

The excavations should be inspected daily by the contractor’s Competent Person before personnel are allowed to enter the excavation. Any zones of potential instability, sloughing or raveling should be brought to the attention of the Geotechnical Engineer and corrective action implemented before personnel begin working in the excavation. Excavated soils should not be stockpiled behind temporary excavations within a distance equal to the depth of the excavation.

Stantec should be notified if other surcharge loads are anticipated so that lateral load criteria can be developed for the specific situation. If temporary slopes are to be maintained during the rainy season, berms are recommended near the tops of slopes to prevent runoff water from entering the excavation and eroding the slope faces.

7.1.11 Temporary Cantilever Shoring
Temporary excavations to depths up to approximately 20 feet bgs are anticipated for removal of the existing USTs. Where cantilevered shoring is used in lieu of sloping the temporary excavation sidewalls, the sho ring design may be tentatively based upon an ultimate active earth pressure equal to a fluid weighing 40 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) . Passive pressures above the groundwater level may be based on a fluid weighing 300 pcf.

These pressures are based on level ground conditions in front and behind the wall. The earth pressures indicated above do not include a safety factor; therefore, the shoring design should include an appropriate safety factor for the overall performance of the system.

7.1.12 Braced Shoring System
For braced shoring above the groundwater level , a uniform rectangular pressure distribution should be used from top to bottom of the shoring equivalent to the following, Bracing: 30H psf/ft

where H is the depth of the excavation, in feet.

7.1.13 Pipelines
Typical pipe bedding as specified in the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (GREENBOOK) may be used. As a minimum, it is recommended that pipe be supported on at least 4 inches of granular bedding material, such as 3/4 -inch rock or clean coarse sand with less than 5 percent fines and a sand equivalent of 40 or more as evaluated by ASTM D2419.

The bedding should extend from the bottom of the trench to at least 1 foot above the top of the pipe. Sand bedding should be mec hanically compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. Jetting of sand bedding should not be permitted.

Onsite material, imported select material, or 2-sack cement/sand slurry may be used as backfill in trenches above the pipe bedding. The mate rial selected should match the engineering

characteristics of the soils adjacent to the trench. Utility trench backfill beneath structures and hardscape should be compacted to at least 90% relative compaction.

The modulus of soil reaction (E’) is used to c haracterize the stiffness of soil backfill placed along the sides of buried flexible pipelines. For the purpose of evaluating deflection due to the load associated with trench backfill over the pipe, a value of 1,500 pounds per square inch (lbs/in 2) is recommended for the general site conditions assuming granular bedding material (sand or gravel) is placed around the pipe.

7.1.14 Surface Drainage
Final surface grades around structures should be designed to collect and direct surface water away from the structure a nd toward appropriate drainage facilities. The ground around the structure should be graded so that surface water flows rapidly away from the structure without ponding. In general, we recommend that the ground adjacent to the structure slope away at a gradient of at least 2%. Densely vegetated areas where runoff can be impaired should have a minimum gradient of at least 5% within the first 5 feet from the structure. Roof gutters with downspouts that discharge directly into a closed drainage system are r ecommended on structures. Drainage patterns established at the time of fine grading should be maintained throughout the life of the proposed structures. Site irrigation should be limited to the minimum necessary to sustain landscape growth. Should excessive irrigation, impaired drainage, or unusually high rainfall occur, saturated zones of perched groundwater can develop. Saturated soil zones may result in increased maintenance and could impact structure stability.

7.1.15 Grading Plan Review
Stantec should review the grading plans and earthwork specifications to ascertain whether the intent of the recommendations contained in this report have been implemented, and that no revised recommendations are needed due to changes in the development scheme.

7.2 FOUNDATIONS

7.2.1 Shallow Foundations
Conventional shallow foundations (spread footings/strip footings) are considered suitable for support of the proposed bus wash building expansion provided the recommendations in this report are incorporated into the design.

The following foundation recommendations are minimum criteria based on geotechnical considerations. They should not be considered a structural design, nor should they be considered to preclude more restrictive criteria by governing agencies or the structural engineer. The design of the foundation system should be performed by the project structural engineer.

Conventional Shallow Foundations:

An allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf) may be used for conventional square or rectangul ar shallow foundations founded in properly compacted fill prepared in accordance with the recommendations of this report. The bearing capacity can be increased by one third for transient loading conditions such as earthquake and wind.

Additional parameters for shallow foundations are provided below.

Minimum Footing Width: 18 inches for continuous footings 24 inches for square/rectangular footings
Minimum Footing Depth: 18 inches below lowest adjacent soil grade Minimum Reinforcement: Two No. 5 bars at both top and bottom in continuous footings.

7.2.2 Canopy Foundations
Typical shallow drilled pier footings for the parking canopy columns are expected to provide adequate support for the proposed structures provided that the recommendations provided herein are incorporated in the design. We understand that typical canopy column footings will consist of reinforced concrete dri lled piers having a minimum diameter or width of 2.0 feet and embedded a minimum depth of 10 feet bgs. Based on these assumptions and the anticipated subsurface conditions, an allowable bearing pressure of 4,000 psf may be used in the design. For resistance to transient lateral loads, such as earthquake and wind loads, the aforementioned allowable bearing capacity may be increased by one-third.

7.2.3 Foundation Settlement
The following settlements are estimated.

Settlement: Less than 1-inch total settlement
½ inch differential settlement over 30 feet

7.2.4 Lateral Resistance
Lateral loads will be resisted by friction between the bottoms of footings and passive pressure on the faces of footings and other structural elements below grade. An allowable coefficient of friction of 0.3 can be used.

Passive pressure can be computed using an ultimate equivalent fluid pressure of 300 lbs/ft 3 for
level ground conditions. Reductions for sloping ground should be made. The upper 1 foot of soil should not be relied on for passive support unless the ground is covered with pavements or slabs.

The earth pressure indicated above does not include a safety factor; therefore, the footing design should include an appropriate safety factor for the overall performance of the system.

7.2.5 Foundation Plan Review
Stantec should review the foundation plans to ascertain that the intent of the recommendations in this report has been implemented and that revised recommendations are not necessary as a result of changes after this report was completed.

7.2.6 Foundation Excavation Observations
A representative working under direct supervision of the Geotechnical Engineer should observe the foundation excavations prior to forming or placing reinforcing steel.

7.3 SLABS-ON-GRADE

7.3.1 Interior Slabs on Grade
The top 24 inches of material below interior concrete slabs-on-grade should have an expansion index of 20 or less. The project structural engineer should design the interior concrete slabs -on- grade floor. However, we recommend a minimum thickness of 5 inches.

A vapor barrier should be placed beneath slabs where moisture sensitive floor coverings will be installed. If plastic is used, a minimum 10 -mil is recommended. The plastic should comply with ASTM E1745. Installation should comply with ASTM E1643. Current co nstruction practice typically includes placement of a 2-inch thick sand cushion between the bottom of the concrete slab and the moisture vapor retarder/barrier. This cushion can provide some protection to the vapor retarder/barrier during construction and may assist in reducing the potential for edge curling in the slab during curing. However, the sand layer also provides a source of moisture to the underside of the slab that can increase the time required to reduce vapor emissions to limits acceptable for the type of floor covering placed on top of the slab. The slab can be placed directly on the vapor retarder/barrier. The floor covering manufacturer should be contacted to determine the volume of moisture vapor allowable and any treatment needed to redu ce moisture vapor emissions to acceptable limits for the particular type of floor covering installed. The project team should determine the appropriate treatment for the specific application.

In addition to the moisture vapor barrier, a capillary moisture break can be constructed below the slab to further reduce moisture transmission from the subgrade soil, if desired. The capillary moisture break should consist of at least 4 -inches of clean, free -draining gravel or crushed rock placed below the moisture va por retarder/barrier. The components of the capillary moisture break should meet the particle-size gradation presented in Table 3.

Exterior slabs not subject to vehicular traffic should have a minimum thickness of 4 inches and be reinforced with at least No. 3 bars at 24 inches on center each way or fibermesh. Slabs should be provided with crack control joints placed in accordance wi th the American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines. The project architect or civil engineer should select the final joint patterns.

7.4 CORROSIVITY
Three samples of the onsite soils were tested to provide a preliminary indication of the corrosion potential of the onsite soils. The test results are presented in Appendix B. A brief discussion of the corrosion test results is provided in the following text. • The samples tested had a soluble sulfate concentration of 45 parts per million (ppm) to 57 ppm, which indicates the samples have a low sulfate corrosion potential relative to concrete. It should be noted that soluble sulfate in the irrigation water supply, and/or the use of fertilizer may cause the sulfate content in the surficial soils to increase with time. This may result in a higher sulfate exposure than that indicated by the test results reported herein. Studies have shown that the use of improved cements in the concrete, and a low water-cement ratio will improve the resistance of the concrete to sulfate exposure.
• The sample s tested had a chloride concentration of 34 ppm to 41 ppm , which indicates the samples have a low chloride corrosion potential relative to metal. • The samples tested had a minimum resistivity of 5,246 ohm-cm to 7,228 ohm-cm, which indicates the samples have a moderate corrosive potential. • The samples tested had a pH of 7.3 to 8.9 , which indicates the sample s are slightly to strongly alkaline.

Caltrans currently considers a site to be corrosive to foundation elements if one or more of the following conditions exist: Chloride concentration is greater than or equal to 500 ppm, sulfate concentration is greater than or equal to 1,500 ppm, or the pH is 5.5 or less.

Based on Caltrans criteria, the test results indicate the site is not considered to be a corrosive environment for structures. However, other samples at the site could yield significantly different concentrations to those described above. Therefore, addition al testing may be performed to further evaluate corrosion during the planning or construction stages and to evaluate the as - graded corrosion potential of the onsite soils after site grading. We recommend evaluation by a corrosion engineer should be performed.

7.5 PAVEMENT

7.5.1 Asphalt Concrete Pavement
An R -Value of 40 has been assumed for preliminary design of pavement sections based on laboratory test results and visual observation of the on-site material in the upper 5 feet. The actual R-value of the subgrade soils should be determined after grading to provide final pavement design. Flexible pavement sections have been calculated in general conformance with Caltrans guidelines. The project civil engineer and owner should review the pavement designations to determine appropriate locations for pavement thickness. Based on an assumed R-value of 40, the following pavement structural sections have been calculated.

Prior to placing base materials, the upper 12 inches of the subgrade soil should be scarified, moisture conditioned to slightly above the optimum moisture content, and recompacted to a dry density of at least 95% of the laboratory maximum. The base material should also be compacted to slightly above the optimum moisture content and a dry density of at least 95% of the laboratory maximum.

Rigid concrete pavement (described below) should be placed in driveway entrance aprons and trash bin loading/storage areas. Concrete pavement design is provided in the following section.

7.5.2 Concrete Pavement
Concrete pavements have been calculated in general conformance with the procedure recommended by the American Concrete Institute (ACI 330R-08) using the parameters presented in Table 5. The following design parameters were used in our analyses.

Table 5. Concrete Pavement Parameters
Design Parameter Value
Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (k) 150 pci
Modulus of Concrete Rupture (MR) 550 psi
Concrete Compressive Strength 3,700 psi
Traffic Categories (TC) A and C
Average Daily Truck Traffic (ADTT) 10 and 100

Based on the parameters above, we recommend the following minimum concrete pavement thickness.

Table 6. Recommended Concrete Pavement Sections
Traffic Type Pavement Thickness (inches) Aggregate Base (inches)
Automobile Parking and Driveways
(TC = A) 6 6
Heavy Truck Traffic and Fire Lane
Areas (TC = C) 8 6
The project civil engineer should confirm whether the assumed ADTT is appropriate for the anticipated traffic level. Concrete compressive strength for pavement should be at least 3,700 psi. Minimum reinforcement should consist of #3 bars on 24 -inch centers . Crack control joints should be placed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines.

Prior to placing concrete, the upper 12 inches of the subgrade soil should be scarified, moisture conditioned to slightly above the optimum moist ure content, and recompacted to a dry density of at least 90% of the laboratory maximum.

7.6 POST INVESTIGATION SERVICES
Post investigation services are an important and necessary continuation of this investigation, and it is recommended that Stantec be retain ed as the Geotechnical Engineer to perform such services. Final project grading and foundation plans, foundation details and specifications should be reviewed by Stantec prior to construction to check that the intent of the recommendations

8. CLOSURE
Our conclusions, recommendations, and discussions presented herein are based upon an evaluation and interpretation of the findings from the field and laboratory programs, with interpolation and extrapolation of subsurface conditions between and beyond the ex ploration locations. This report contains information that is valid as of the report’s date and to the extent directly known to Stantec. However, conditions can change with the passage of time or construction subsequent to this report’s preparation that may invalidate, either partially or wholly, the conclusions and recommendations presented herein.

Inherent in most projects performed in the heterogeneous subsurface environment, continuing subsurface explorations and analyses may reveal conditions that are different than those described in this report. The findings and recommendations contained in this report were developed in accordance with generally accepted, current professional principles and practice ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances, by geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists practicing in this locality. No other warranty, express or implied, is made .
