BACKGROUND:

In 2021, the City received the state-funded Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 10 Grant to upgrade and modernize existing City traffic signals at various locations throughout the City. The City was awarded a total of $3,120,100 .00 for the project’s preliminary engineering, design, and construction phases with no local match required.

The deadline to complete construction for HSIP reimbursement is March 31, 2026.

Kimley-Horn and Associates , Inc. ( KHA) was originally selected by a request for qualifications/proposals process early in the project development. On July 18, 2023, the City Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement with KHA. KHA prepared the preliminary and final design, which includes preparation of the plans, specifications, and estimate package for the project.

On August 20, 202 4, the Council authorized staff to advertise the project for bids.

Coordination with Caltrans identified additional right -of-way requirements, which were completed before the project was formally advertised for bids in July 2025.

On August 15, 2024, Public Works staff advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Construction Management, Inspection, Material Testing, and Public Outreach. The RFP closed on September 16, 2024. Staff reviewed the proposals and determined that Willdan Engineering, Inc. (Willdan) was the most qualified firm.

The Public Works Department advertised the project for competitive bids in the Santa Barbara Independent on July 17, 2025, and July 24, 2025. Public Works staff published the bid documents on PlanetBids, where bids were submitted electronically. The bidding period opened on July 17, 2025, and closed on August 26, 2025. The City received a total of two (2) bids. A summary of the bids and the Engineer’s Estimate are shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Bid Results

Bidder Base Bid Bid Alternate 1 Bid Total
Engineer’s Estimate $ 1,946,600.00 $ 433,800.00 $2,380,400.00 Alfaro Communications
Construction, Inc. $ 2,037,177.09 $ 570,742.77 $2,607,919.86 Taft Electric $ 2,235,200.00 $ 1,164,800.00 $3,400,000.00

The engineer’s estimate for construction costs was $2,380,400. Alfaro Communications Construction, Inc. was the apparent lowest responsible bidder at $2,607,919.86. The lowest bid amount was 8.7% over the engineer’s estimate. This difference falls within the normal range identified in industry standards, which considers a variance of plus or minus 25 percent from the engineer’s estimate as acceptable.

Meeting Date: October 21, 2025

DISCUSSION:

The Citywide Traffic Signal Upgrade Project will enhance safety, efficiency, and reliability at 32 signalized intersections by installing retroreflective back plates to improve visibility, new video detection cameras for traffic monitoring, upgraded controllers, mast arms, and traffic signal heads, with an alternate bid item to include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), compliant pedestrian push buttons to improve accessibility for all roadway users.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in the winter of 2025 with completion in the summer of 2026 , and staff will conduct pu blic outreach in advance and during construction to notify residents, businesses, and commuters of project timing and traffic impacts.

Public Works staff recommends that the City Council approve the Plans and Specifications for the Citywide Traffic Signal Upgrade Project (Attachments 1 and 2) and award a Construction Contract to Alfaro Communications Construction, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder (Attachment 3). Staff also recommends authorizing the Public Works Director to approve contract change orders as needed to address unforeseen conditions or necessary adjustments during construction. In addition, staff recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Willdan Engineering, Inc . (Attachment 4) for construction management, inspection, public outreach, and materials testing services.

These actions will enable the City to proceed with construction, maintain professional oversight, and provide transparent communication with the public throughout the project.

This project is categorically exempt f rom CEQA as a Class 1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301). The Exemption has been prepared, and no further CEQA action is required. Public Works staff recommends the adoption of the attached resolution (Attachment 5).

GOLETA STRATEGIC PLAN:

City-Wide Initiative: 5. Strengthen Infrastructure
Strategic Goal: 5.5. Improve infrastructure safety and accessibility by incorporating best practices for infrastructure

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The Citywide Traffic Signal Upgrade Project (CIP No. 9083) is funded by the HSIP Grant, Measure A, and General Fund. Table 2 below details the project cost estimates. Staff has also submitted a Cost Change Request Form to Caltrans Local Assistance to increase the HSIP Grant funding amount by $97,201 to cover the additional construction-specific budget limitations. Approval of the funding amendment is anticipated in Fall 2025, prior to the start of construction , and will be followed by corresponding grant budget appropriations.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may choose not to approve the contract documents or award the project .

Doing so would delay the construction of the Project and would jeopardize the HSIP grant funding if the project is not completed by the deadline.

6 SUBCONTRACTORS.

6.1 Each bidder will list in the proposal form all first-tier subcontractors that will perform work, labor or render such services in excess of ½ of one percent of the total bid of the total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater.

9.1 Bids will be submitted on the proposal forms included with the Contract Documents. Bids not submitted on the City’s proposal forms will be rejected. All blanks on the proposal form will be filled in legibly.

9.2 Bidder’s failure to submit a price for any alternate or unit price will result in the bid being considered as non-responsive. If alternates are called for and no change in the lump sum base bid is required, enter “no change.”

9.3 Each bidder must fill out the “b idders statement of past contract disqualifications” form stating any and all instances of contract disqualifications due to a violation of a law or safety regulation. The bidder must explain the circumstances of each disqualification.

9.4 Bidder will make no stipulations on the proposal form nor qualify the bid in any manner.

9.5 The bids will be based upon full completion of all the Work as shown on the plans and specifications. It is ex pressly understood that the plans are drawn with as much accuracy as is possible in advance, but should errors, omissions or discrepancies exist in the plans which show conditions that vary from those encountered in construction, the bidder (if awarded the contract) specifically agrees to construct a completed Work ready for the use and in the manner which is intended.

9.6 The proposal forms will be signed by a person or persons legally authorized to bind bidder to a contract. Bidder’s representative will sign and date the declaration of eligibility to contract included in the proposal form. Failure to sign and date the declaration will cause the bid to be rejected.

and be received or postmarked within three (3) City working days of the bid due date and time for the bid to be considered. The sealed envelope should be plainly marked on the outside identifying the names as shown in the notice inviting sealed bids.

10.3 If the apparent lowest responsible bidder fails to sign the contract and furnish all items requir ed by the contract docu ments within the time limits specified in these bidding inst ructions, the City may reject such bidder and select the next apparent lo west responsible bidder until all bids have been exhausted or the City ma y reject all bids. In the event the bid is rejected, such bidder wil l be liable for and forfeit to the City the amount of the difference, not to exceed the amount of the bid security, between the amount of the disqualified bid and the larger amount for which the City procures the Work. The City may also use the bid security to cover the cost of rebidding the project.

10.4 If a bid bond is submitted and an attorney-in-fact executes the bid bond on behalf of the surety, a notarized and current copy of the power of attorney will be affixed to the bid bond. The surety issuing the bid bond must be admitted to provide surety within the State of California.

CITYWIDE TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPGRADE PROJECT

BIDDING SHEET

The cost of all labor, material and equipment necessary for the completion of the work itemized, even though not shown or specified, shall be included in the unit or lump sum prices for the various items shown herein.

The City further reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive any informality or irregularity in any bid or the bidding proce dure, and to delete any items of work in the award of contract. The City's decision on the bid amount is final.

Bidders must bid on all items in the Bid Schedule including the Supplemental and/or Alternative Bid Items in order for their bids to be complete. The award of contract will be based on the criteria outlined in Section 14 of the Bidding Instructions.

In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column (total base bid in words) shall be the pr oduct of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.

Bids on lump sum items are item totals. If a unit price of a lump sum item is entered and it differs from the item total, the item total prevails.

Entries are to be expressed in dollars or decimal fractions of a dollar. Symbols such as commas and dollar signs are ignored and have no significance in establishing unit price or item total.

Unit prices and item totals are interpre ted by the number of digits and decimal placement. Do not round item totals or the total bid.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price prevails, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit pric e is unreadable or other wise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount of the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered uni t price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one- hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever mo st closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the City's Final Estimate of cost.

If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.

Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the City’s right to enforce the Bond up to the penal sum then in effect, or to require the City to accept work under a Change Order without such bond adjustment.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as t herein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one (1) year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemni fy and save harmless the City, its officials, officers, employees, and authorized volunteers, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

INS 8
As a part of the obligation secured hereby a nd in addition to the face amount specified therefore, there shall be included costs and reasonable expenses and fees including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by City in enforcing such obligation.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Do cuments, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or dam age resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herei n shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuan t to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:

Take over and complete the Project in acco rdance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with California law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contra ctor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the even t of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby sti pulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Docu ments or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby INS 9
waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project.

Surety hereby waives the provisions of Sections 2819 and 2845 of the Civil Code of the State of California.

The submission of a bid shall also be c onclusive evidence that the bidder is satisfied as to the character, quality and quant ity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information was reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the site and the records of exploratory work done by the Department as shown in the bid documents, as well as from the plans and specifications made a part of the contract.

Where the Department has ma de investigations of site conditions including subsurface conditions in areas where work is to be performed under the contract, or in other areas, some of which may constitute po ssible local material sources, bidders or contractors may, upon written request, inspect the records of the Department as to those investigations subject to and upon the conditions hereinafter set forth.

8-1.06A SUSPENSIONS OF WORK ORDERED BY THE ENGINEER

1. If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the Contractor believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer in writing a request for adjustment within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work.

The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.

2. Upon receipt, the Engineer will evaluate the Contractor's request. If the Engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the Contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the Engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly.

The Contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.

3. No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the Contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed.

4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

Contractor as the City may deem just and reasonable for engineering, inspection, general supervision and overhead expenses.

8-1.07B(1) DELAYS TO CRITICAL PATH
Extensions of time, when granted, will be based upon the effect of delays to the critical path of the Work as a whole and will not be granted for non-controlling delays to included portions of Work unless it can be shown that such delays did, in fact, delay the progress of the Work as a whole.

8-1.07B(2) CONDITIONS TO TIME EXTENSIONS
The Contract Time or Milestones shall be extended only if, in the opinion of City, the Contractor is necessarily delayed in completing the Contract by a cause that meets all of the following conditions:

1. Such cause is beyond the control of Contractor, its Subcontractors, or material suppliers and is not due, in whole or in part, to the breach, negligence or fault of Contractor, its Subcontractors, or material suppliers;

2. Such cause arises after the Bid deadline and neither was nor could have been anticipated before the Bid deadline;

3. The effect of such cause could not be anticipated and avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all reasonable precautions, efforts and measures by the Contractor, including re-planning, scheduling and re-sequencing;

4. Such cause, in fact, results in a delay in the performance of the critical path of the Work, which is not thereon thereafter recovered;

5. Contractor has given notice thereof and provided the back -up documentation and analysis as required by the Contract Documents or as requested by the Engineer or City including but not limited to as-planned versus as-built schedules; and

8-1.07B(3) EXCUSABLE NON-COMPENSABLE DELAY
The Parties acknowledge that “Force Majeure” events, as defined in Section 1-1.07B GLOSSARY of the State Standard Specifications, are not within the responsibility or control of the City or are reasonably contemplated by the Parties to occur during the course of performance of the Work, which may impact the schedule for performance of the Work and may entitle Contractor to an extension of the Contract Time (“Excusable Non-Compensable Delays”). If the Critical Path of the Work is delayed by Excusable Non-Compensable Delays, provided that such delays did not result from the acts of Contractor and further provided that Contractor takes reasonable precautions to prevent further delays owing to such causes, then the Contract Time and/or Milestones shall be extended by a Contract Change Order.

An extension to the Contract Time and/or to the completion Milestone(s) identified in the Contract Documents shall be the Contractor’s sole remedy for Excusable Non-Compensable Delays. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any compensation or recovery of any damages in connection with the Excusable Non-Compensable Delays defined above.

CITYWIDE TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPGRADE PROJECT
CITY PROJECT NO. 9083
SP-38
8-1.07B(4) EXCUSABLE COMPENSABLE DELAY
“Excusable Compensable Delay” means any delay to the critical path of the Work occurring after commencement and prior to completion of the Work:

1. which directly impacts the number of Working Days established in the Agreement for completion;

2. for which City is responsible, is unreasonable under the circumstances involved, and not within the contemplation of the Parties; and

3. is not due, in whole or in part, to the breach, negligence, or fault of Contractor, its Subcontractors, or Suppliers. Contractor’s remedy for Excusable Compensable Delay shall be extension of the date for completion and Milestones subject to the Conditions to Time

Extensions identified above and reimbursement of actual costs directly resulting from such delays and markup in accordance with Section 9 PAYMENT of the State Standard Specifications.

8-1.07B(5) Inexcusable Delay
“Inexcusable Delay” means any delay in the critical path of activities required for completion of the Work resulting from causes other than those deemed to be an Excusable Non-Compensable Delay or an Excusable Compensable Delay by these Special Provisions. An Inexcusable Delay shall not entitle Contractor to either an extension of the date for completion or Milestones or to any additional compensation whatsoever.

8-1.07B(6) CONCURRENT DELAYS
To the extent the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time due to an Excusable Non-Compensable Delay or to an Excusable Compensable Delay, but the performance of the Work is independently suspended, delayed, or interrupted by an Inexcusable Delay, the delay shall be deemed to be a “Concurrent Delay.” In the case of a Concurrent Delay, Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of the Contract Time or Milestone(s) and Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation whatsoever during the period of Concurrent Delay.

8-1.07B(7) CLAIM FOR ADDITIONAL TIME

8-1.07B(8) Limits on Adjustment of Contract Time or Contract Sum for Material Shortages or Cost Escalation
No extension of Contract Time or adjustment of the Contract Price will be granted for a delay caused by a shortage of materials, unless the Contractor furnishes to the City documented proof that the Contractor has diligently made every effort to obtain suc h materials from every known source within reasonable reach of the Work. The Contractor shall also submit proof, in the form of network analysis data that the inability to obtain such materials when originally planned did, in fact, cause a delay in complet ion of the Work which could not be compensated for by revising the sequence of operations. Only the physical shortage of material will be considered under these provisions as a cause for extension of time. No consideration will be given to any claim for ad justment of the Contract Price on the basis that material could not be obtained at a reasonable, practical, or economical cost except as provided in 9-1.07 PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS FOR PRICE INDEX FLUCTUATIONS of the State Standard Specifications.

Contractor is aware that governmental agencies, such as gas companies, electrical utility companies, water districts and other agencies, may be required to approve Contractor - prepared drawings or approve a proposed installation. Contractor has endeavored t o include the cost of such anticipated delays and related costs which may be caused by such agencies in Contractor’s Bid. Thus, Contractor is not entitled to make claim upon the City for damages or delays arising from the delays caused by such agencies.

Furthermore, the Contractor has scheduled for such delays and is not entitled to an extension of time for delays caused by governmental agencies which Contractor must obtain approvals from. No extension of time will be granted under Section 8-1.07B LIMITS

ON ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT TIME OR CONTRACT SUM FOR MATERIAL SHORTAGES OR COST ESCALATION of these Special Provisions for any delay to the extent: (1) that performance would have been so delayed by any Contractor induced causes, including but not limited to t he fault or negligence of the Contractor or its Subcontractors; or (2) for which any remedies are provided for or excluded by any other provision of the Contract.

8-1.07B(9) No Release of Sureties
An extension of time granted shall not release the sureties from their obligations. Work shall continue and be carried on in accordance with all the provisions of the Contract and the Contract shall be and shall remain in full force and effect during the continuance and until the completion and the City’s final acceptance of the Work covered by this Contract unless formally suspended or annulled in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents.

8-1.07B(10) No Waiver by City
Neither the grant of an extension of time beyond the date fixed for the completion of any part of the Work nor the doing and acceptance of any part of the Work or materials specified by this Contract after the time specified for the completion of the Work, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other rights and remedies under the Contract.

8-1.07B(11) City’s Right to Order Extraordinary Measures to Mitigate Delay In the event of delays to the project, the Engineer may order Extraordinary Measures as provided below.

CITYWIDE TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPGRADE PROJECT
CITY PROJECT NO. 9083
SP-40

8-1.07B(11)(a) Non-Compensable Extraordinary Measures
In the event the Engineer determines that the performance of the Work, or any portion thereof, has not progressed or reached the level of completion required by the Contract Documents due to causes within the control of Contractor, the Engineer shall have the right to order the Contractor to take corrective measures necessary to expedite the progress of construction, including, without limitation, (1) working additional shifts or overtime, (2) supplying additional workforce, equipment, and facilities, and (3) submitting a recovery schedule for re-sequencing performance of the Work or other similar measures (hereinafter referred to collectively as Extraordinary Measures). Such Extraordinary Measures shall continue until the progress of the Work complies with the stage of completion as required by the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price in connection with the Extraordinary Measures required by the City under or pursuant to this Section. The City may exercise the rights furnished the City under or pursuant to this Section as frequently as the City deems necessary to ensure that the Contractor’s performance of the Work will comply with the Contract Time, or interim completion date set forth in the Contract Documents.

If Contractor or its Subcontractors fail to commence Extraordinary Measures within forty-eight (48) hours of City’s written demand, the City may, without prejudice to other remedies, take corrective action at the expense of Contractor.

8-1.07B(11)(b) Compensable Extraordinary Measures
The Engineer, in its discretion, may issue a written request, to the Contractor requesting Contractor to submit an itemized proposal for Extraordinary Measures in order to achieve early completion of all or a portion of the Work, due to no fault of the Contractor, in a form acceptable to the City within ten (10) calendar days after the City’s issuance of the request. Contractor’s proposal shall be limited to direct labor cost (itemized hours and rates) and overhead and profit on the labor costs.

8-1.07B(12) Continuation of the Work
If the construction of the Work is not completed within the Contract Time, as may be extended by the City, the Contractor shall continue performing the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents until the completion of and the acceptance of the Work, or Contractor’s performance is suspended or terminated.

Replace the 2nd paragraph of Section 8-1.07C Payment Adjustments with:

Losses for idle equipment, idle workers, and moving or transporting equipment are eligible for delay- related payment adjustments.

If the Contractor claims additional costs due to impacts from an excusable delay, the Contractor must comply with Section 5-1.42 REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION of the State Standard Specifications. Support the Contractor’s claim for additional costs based on the difference between the cost to perform the work as planned and the cost to perform the work as changed as determined under Section 9-1.04 FORCE ACCOUNT of the State Standard Specifications. The City adjusts payment for the work portion that was impacted.

The Contractor may schedule completion of all of the Work, or portions thereof, earlier

CITYWIDE TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPGRADE PROJECT
CITY PROJECT NO. 9083

than the Contract Time. Contractor, however, shall not be entitled to an adjustment of the Contract Price or to any additional costs or damages (including, but not limited to, claims for extended general conditions costs, home office overhead, jobsite overhead, and management or administrative costs), or any compensation whatsoever for Contractor’s use of float and/or Contractor’s inability to complete the Work earlier than the Contract Time for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, delay caused by the City or other Excusable Compensable Delay. The City is exempt from liability for such costs, damages, and compensation.

Add to Section 8-1.10 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:

Any progress payment made after the completion date shall not be construed as a waiver of liquidated damages.

The City may withhold liquidated damages before the accrual date if the anticipated liquidated damages may exceed the value of the remaining work.

Add to Section 8-1.10A General:
8-1.10A General
The Contractor shall pay to the City the sum of $4,200 per day, each and every calendar day’s delay in finishing the work in excess of the number of working days prescribed in Section 8-1.04A GENERAL of these Special Provisions. Any progress payment made after the completion date shall not be construed as a waiver of liquidated damages.

For each and every day that any portion of the work remains unfinished after the time fixed for completion in the contract documents as modified by any extension of time, damage will be sustained by the City. Because of the difficulty in computing the actu al material loss and disadvantage to the City, the Contractor and City agree that Contractor will pay the City the amount of damages set forth herein as representing a reasonable forecast of the actual damages which the City will suffer by the failure of t he Contractor to complete the work within the stipulated time. The execution of the agreement shall constitute acknowledgment by the Contractor that he or she has ascertained and agrees that the City will actually suffer damages in the amount herein fixed for each and every day during which the completion of the work is avoidably delayed beyond the stipulated completion date.

Unless otherwise provided in the contract documents, the Contractor shall have no claim or right of action against the City for damages, costs, expenses, loss of profits, or otherwise because or by reason of any delay in the fulfillment of the contract wit hin the time limited therefore occasioned by any cause or event within or without the Contractor's control, and whether or not such delay may have resulted from anything done or not done by the City.

8-1.11 UTILITY AND NON-HIGHWAY FACILITIES
Attention is directed to Section 15 EXISTING FACILITIES of the State Standard Specifications and these Special Provisions.

The Contractor shall notify the Engineer and the appropriate regional notification center for operators of subsurface installations at least three (3) working days, but not more than ten (10) working days, prior to performing any excavation or other work close to any underground pipeline, conduit, duct, wire or other structure. Regional notification centers include, but are not limited to, the following:

Notification Center Telephone
Number
Underground Service Alert -Southern
California (USA)
(811) 422-4133
(800) 422-4133

The Contractor is cautioned that there may be underground and overhead utility facilities within the work area including telephone, electrical, cable television, gas, water and sanitary sewer transmission facilities, and storm drainage collection facilities.

Where possible conflict may exist, the Contractor shall verify the grade and location of existing underground utility prior to any work.

It is recognized by the City and the Contractor that the locations of existing utilities as shown on the plans are approximate, their actual location is unknown. Recognition is given to the fact there may be additional existing utilities unknown to either party to the contract. Location of utilities, as shown on the drawings, represents the best information obtainable from utility maps and information furnished by the various agencies and companies involved. The City warrants neither the accuracy nor the extent of the actual utilities involved.

In the event the Contractor discovers utilities not identified on the plans or by the utilities, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer and the utility owners by the most expeditious method reasonably available and later confirm in writing.

CITYWIDE TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPGRADE PROJECT
CITY PROJECT NO. 9083
SP-44
The right is reserved to the City and the owners of facilities, or their authorized agents, to enter upon the City right of way for the purpose of making those changes that are necessary for the rearrangement of their facilities or for making necessary connections or repairs to their properties. The Contractor shall cooperate with forces engaged in this work and shall conduct operations in such a manner as to avoid any unnecessary delay or hindrance to the work being performed by the other forces. Wherever necessary, the work of the Contractor shall be coordinated with the rearrangement of utility or other non-highway facilities, and the Contractor shall make arrangements with the owner of those facilities for the coordination of the work.

Attention is directed to the possible existence of underground main or trunk line facilities not indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions and to the possibility that underground main or trunk lines may be in a location different from that which is indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions. The Contractor shall ascertain the exact location of underground main or trunk lines whose presence is indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions, the location of their service laterals or other appurtenances, and of existing service lateral or appurtenances of any other underground facilities which can be inferred from the presence of visible facilities such as buildings, meters and junction boxes prior to doing work that may damage any of the facilities or interfere with their service.

If the Contractor cannot locate an underground facility whose presence is indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions, the Contractor shall so notify the Engineer in writing. If the facility for which the notice is given is in a substantially dif ferent location from that indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions, the additional cost of locating the facility will be paid for as extra work as provided in Section 4-1.05 CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK of these Special Provisions.

If the Contractor discovers underground main or trunk lines not indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions, the Contractor shall immediately give the Engineer and the Utility Company written notification of the existence of those facilities. The main or trunk lines shall be located and protected from damage as directed by the Engineer, and the cost of that work will be paid for as extra work as provided in Section 4-1.05 CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK of these Special Provisions. The Contractor shall, if directed by the Engineer, repair any damage which may occur to the main or trunk lines. The cost of that repair work, not due to the failure of the Contractor to exercise reasonable care, will be paid for as extra work as provided in Section 4-1.05 CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK of these Special Provisions.

Damage due to the Contractor's failure to exercise reasonable care shall be repaired at the Contractor's cost and expense.

Where it is determined by the Engineer that the rearrangement of an underground facility is essential in order to accommodate the Project and the plans and specifications do not provide that the facility is to be rearranged, the Engineer will provide for the rearrangement of the facility by other forces or the rearrangement shall be performed by the Contractor and will be paid for as extra work as provided in Section 4-1.05 CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK of these Special Provisions.. When ordered by the Engineer in writing, the Contractor shall rearrange any utility or other non-highway facility necessary to be rearranged as a part of the highway improvement, and that work will be paid for as extra work as provided in Section 4-1.05 CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK of the State Standard Specifications.

Should the Contractor desire to have any rearrangement made in any utility facility, or other improvement, for the Contractor's convenience in order to facilitate the Contractor's construction operations, which rearrangement is in addition to, or different from, the rearrangements indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions, the Contractor shall make whatever arrangements are necessary with the owners of the utility or other non - highway facility for the rearrangement and bear all expenses in connection therewith.

The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer of any delays to the Contractor's operations as a direct result of underground main or trunk line facilities which were not indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions or were located in a posi tion substantially different from that indicated on the plans or in these Special Provisions, or as a direct result of utility or other non -highway facilities not being rearranged as herein provided (other than delays in connection with rearrangements made to facilitate the Contractor's construction operations or delays due to a strike or labor dispute). These delays will be considered right of way delays within the meaning of Section 8-1.09 DELAYS of the State Standard Specifications and compensation for t he delay will be determined in conformance with the provisions in Section 8 -1.07B TIME ADJUSTMENTS of the State Standard Specifications and these Special Provisions. The Contractor shall be entitled to no other compensation for that delay.

Any delays to the Contractor's operations as a direct result of utility or other non-highway facilities not being rearranged as provided in this Section 8 -1.11 UTILITY AND NON - UTILITY HIGHWAY FACILITIES of these Special Provisions, due to a strike or labor dispute, will entitle the Contractor to an extension of time as provided in Section 8-1.07 DELAYS of the State Standard Specifications.

The Contractor shall commence satisf actory corrective actions within five (5) working days after receipt of the notice to cure. If the Contractor fails to commence satisfactory corrective work within five (5) working days after receipt of the notice to cure, or to diligently continue satisfactory and timely correction of the default thereafter, the City will advise the performance bond surety of the default and that surety will be given fifteen (15) calendar days to arrange for completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents by another Contractor or Contractors satisfactory to the City. Should the surety fail to effect satisfactory arrangements within said 15-day period, the City shall have the right to issue a notice of termination for default and to:

The City shall charge the cost to complete the Work, including, but not limited to, protection, investigation, labor, services, equipment, materials, permits, fees, supervisory, and administrative costs to Contractor and its performance bond surety. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price is less than all costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for the City’s services and expenses made necessary thereby, and other damages incurred by the City and not expressly waived, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City. This obligation for payment shall survive termination of the Contract. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price is greater than all costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for the City’s services and expenses made necessary thereby, the Contractor shall receive payment for Work properly performed by Contractor for which payment was not made previously; any excess amounts shall be retained by the City.

Upon receipt of the written notice of termination for default, the surety shall immediately assume all rights, obligations and liabilities of the Contractor under the Contract. If the surety fails to protect and maintain the work site, the City may do so, and may recover all costs incurred.

If remains of Native American origin are discovered during project construction, it will be necessary to comply with state laws concerning the disposition of Native American burials, which fall within Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC’s) jurisdiction (PRC 5097). If any human remains are discovered or recognized in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, there will be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the following steps occur:

• The Santa Barbara County coroner (805- 681-4145) has been informed and has determined that no investigation of the cause of death is required. If the remains are of Native American origin, one of the following occurs:
• The descendants of the deceased Native Americans have made a recommendation to the landowner or person responsible for the excavation work for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any associated grave goods as provided in PRC 5097.98. • NAHC has been unable to identify a descendant, or the descendant failed to make a recommendation within twenty-four (24) hours after being notified.

According to the California Health and Safety Code, six (6) or more human burials at one location constitute a cemetery (Section 8100) and disturbance of Native American cemeteries is a felony (Section 7052). Section 7050.5 requires that construction or excavation be stopped in the vicinity of discovered human remains until the coroner can determine whether the remains are Native American. If the remains are determined to be Native American, the coroner must contact NAHC within twenty-four (24) hours.

(C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45- day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 daysafter the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.
(2) (A) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.

Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 da ys after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public entity and the claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the Appendix B-2 of 4
disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim.

Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section. (C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parti es in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

(3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that
(1) upon r eceipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the Appendix B-3 of 4
timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. (h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes or extends that date.
