Therefore, he chose to recuse himself out of an abundance of caution and leave the meeting for that item.

Mayor Hobson asked if the City Council members need to recuse themselves from the discussion if they bank with Wells Fargo.

City Council Minutes Page 4 of 8 August 4, 2026
Regular Meeting
A brief break was taken and the meeting resumed at 6:47 p.m.

City Attorney Guerra explained the five categories of financial interests identified by the FPPC that could create a conflict of interest. He clarified that having a checking or interest-bearing account with Wells Fargo does not count as the type of "investment" that leads to a conflict in this decision. Even if interest is earned, it is standardized and not significantly affected by the approval or denial of this specific sign. Therefore, he does not believe there is a disqualifying financial conflict under FPPC rules for Councilmembers who simply bank at Wells Fargo, allowing them to participate in the decision-making process.

Mayor Hobson stated that she believes she does not need to recuse herself and can make an objective decision.

Councilman Eich still chose to recuse himself out of an abundance of caution.

Councilmember Bowman noted that, in accordance with state law and common law, he does not see a conflict of interest and participated in the discussion.

Director of Community Development Koleda and Assistant Planner Fabela addressed questions from the City Council.

After a brief discussion and deliberation, the City Council acknowledge that businesses should be able to read the City’s sign rules, comply, and reasonably expect approval without “one‑off” extra conditions. Overall, the City Council agreed on content neutrality, supported consistency with past approvals, and acknowledged fair treatment of businesses that follow the sign code.

A MOTION was made by Councilmember Bowman, seconded by Mayor Hobson, and carried (4 – 0, Councilman Eich recused) to find the project exempt from CEQA and adopt a City Council Resolution upholding the appeal and approving Design Review (DEV-2026-0012) for Wells Fargo Bank at 555 Foothill Boulevard, with the removal of Condition #11 requiring that all wall signs are not illuminated and do not include raceways.

A roll call vote was taken, and the results were read by City Clerk Garcia as follows:

By consensus, the City Council agreed to explore hybrid format for commissions and committees as a pilot program, but they do not intend to roll it out all at once. They directed staff to develop a phased pilot program that will identify which commissions and committees should transition to a hybrid format first, along with the necessary staffing and audiovisual (AV) requirements, as well as cost estimates.

City Council Minutes Page 7 of 8 August 4, 2026
Regular Meeting
Mayor Hobson expressed her desire to begin work early on the Housing Element cycle, which is due in 2029. She proposed creating a subcommittee or similar group that would include City Council members, Planning Commissioners, and community members. The goal is to plan the structure, process, and public engagement for the next Housing Element well before the official deadline.

City Attorney Guerra noted that a subcommittee would be limited to two Councilmembers.

Councilmember Bowman supported the idea of bringing this back for a broader discussion.

Mayor Pro Tem Fossan seconded Mayor Hobson’s future agenda item request.

Councilmember Ahmed requested a future staff report on Cal Fire’s “Fire Risk Reduction Community” list that would explain why La Cañada Flintridge was not included on the July 1, 2026, list a detail what specific actions the City would need to take to qualify and apply for inclusion on the next list, which is expected to be published in two years (application deadline July 1, 2027).

Mayor Pro Tem Fossan seconded Councilmember Ahmed’s future agenda item request.

Councilman Eich requested a future agenda item to revisit the City’s community groups funding policy. Specifically, to re-examine the reimbursement-only model for smaller organizations receiving City funds. He noted that smaller groups are struggling because they must front costs out of pocket, then wait for reimbursement from the City.

Councilmember Bowman seconded Councilman Eich’s future agenda item request.

Councilman Eich requested a future presentation from the Los Angeles County RegistrarRecorder/County Clerk regarding the election administration process. City Manager Jordan confirmed that the presentation is scheduled for September 15.

Councilmembers’ comments
Councilmember Bowman commended the Mayor on her first meeting in this role.

Councilman Eich announced that he is relocating to the East Coast due to his job. He will no longer be a resident of La Cañada Flintridge and cannot continue his role on the City Council. He expects the September 1, 2026, meeting to be his last, with formal resignation details to be submitted to the City Clerk. He will continue serving fully until then and stated that serving the community for over six and a half years has been one of the greatest honors of his life.

The City Council expressed gratitude for his service to the community. They noted that there would be formal recognition of his contributions at a future meeting, once he submits his official resignation. The City Council will then consider options for filling the vacancy, ensuring that the process remains public and transparent.

City Attorney Guerra explained that when the seat becomes officially vacant, the City Council has 30 days to either appoint a new member or call a special election. This decision, along with the appointment process, which may include the submission of applications and interviews, must take place during a public meeting that is properly noticed.

City Manager closing comments: None

• Texting 911 is like calling 911 . . . the text will go to the nearest law enforcement agency. • Please provide as much information as you can in your initial text to 911, especially the following:
o Do you need law enforcement (crime in progress) or fire department (fire or medical issue)? o Address or location where you need help.
• Be prepared for a text conversation with the Dispatcher (if you are able to engage); as long as you have provided your address or location, help is being dispatched, but if you are able to engage in the text conversation, dispatchers will attempt to obtain more information or provide you with instructions.

SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH:

It only takes a few seconds for a child to drown. Drowning accidents are a leading cause of death for children under four years old. Tips to keep you and your family safe:
• Never take your eyes off a child when he/she is in or near any body of water. • Don’t rely on barriers, such as fences or walls, near a pool or spa. Constant supervision is essential. • Remove toys and ensure your pool is covered when not in use. • Don’t rely on inflatable devices to keep your child afloat and keep a life ring accessible. • Learn CPR and rescue breathing.

On December 3, 2024, the City Council awarded the design contract to GMU Geotechnical and Geologists, Inc. for the preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) and design support during construction. On May 6, 2025, the City Council awarded a contract to Willdan Engineering to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services during construction of the Project.

Construction is expected to be done in three phases. The first phase consists of construction of a jacking pit in LCIF parking lot; jacking a 36” High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe northerly and southerly from the jacking pit to strengthen the existing CMP located at approximately 45 feet under Foothill Boulevard and the LCIF parking lot; and other related work. On February 17, 2026, the City Council approved the right of entry agreement with LCIF, adopted the PS&E and authorized Public Works to advertise the first phase the project for construction bids. Three bids were uploaded to Planet Bids on March 19, 2026. Upon staff review of all bid proposals, the apparent lowest bidder was found to be non-responsive due to missing vital information in the proposal and discrepancies in pricing of many items. Also, the bidder was found not responsible due to lack of experience in projects with similar scope and complexity. On April 17, 2026, the City Council rejected all bids. Staff will explore and recommend to the City Council other construction methods at a future meeting. Staff conducted another survey on July 29, 2026, and found out of 73 survey points, of which 29 points showed additional settlement between 0.03 and less than 0.06 feet and 44 points showed additional settlement less than 0.03 feet.

CONTRACT 25/26-05
STATE PROJECT NUMBER: HSIPSL-5417(029)
BID PROPOSAL. The City participates with Planet Bids and bidders must upload their bid proposal to Planet Bids as instructed in the Notice Inviting Bids. It is the bidder’s sole responsibility to see that its proposal is uploaded in proper time. The bids will be posted on Planet Bids.

DISCREPANCIES IN PROPOSALS. The bidder shall furnish a price for all bid items in the bid proposal and shall be properly executed with all items filled in; numbers shall be stated both in figures and in writing. In the event words and figures do not agree, the words shall govern, and the figures shall be disregarded. Failure to do so will render the proposal informal and may cause its rejection. In the event the total indicated for the schedule does not agree with the sum of the prices bid on the individual items, the prices bid on the individual item shall govern and the total for the schedule will be corrected accordingly. If the unit price and the total amount named by a bidder for any item are not in agreement, the unit price alone shall be considered as representing the bidder’s intention and the totals shall be corrected to conform thereto.

Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to a proposal will render it informal and may cause its rejection. The completed proposal forms shall be without interlineations, alterations, or erasures. Oral, telegraphic, or telephonic proposals or modifications will not be considered.

EXAMINATION OF PLANS, GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS, SPECIAL PROVISIONS, PROJECT

PROVISIONS, CALTRANS STANDARD PLANS LISTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS AND SITE OF WORK. The bidder shall carefully examine the site of the proposal and the plans and specifications for the work contemplated. It will be assumed that the bidder has investigated and is satisfied with the conditions to be encountered as to the character, quality, and quantities of work to be performed and materials to be furnished and as to the requirements of the specifications. It is mutually agreed that submission of a proposal shall be prima facie evidence that the bidder has made such examinations and is so satisfied. The plans for the work will show conditions as they are supposed or believed by the Engineer to exist but is not intended nor is to be inferred that the conditions as shown thereon constitute a representation by the City or its officers that such conditions are actually existent. Neither the City nor any of its officers shall be liable for any loss sustained by the Contractor as a result of any variance between conditions as shown on the plans and actual conditions revealed during the progress of the work or otherwise. The Contractor is to assume all risks as to natural conditions and contingencies attending the work.

CONTRACTOR’S PRE-START REPRESENTATIONS. The Contractor represents that he or she has familiarized himself or herself with the work, the locality and with all local conditions including federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations that may in any manner affect performance of the work, and represents that he or she has correlated his or her efforts and observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents and assumes full responsibility for having familiarized himself or herself with the nature and extent of the Contract Documents.

The Contractor shall carefully study and compare the Contract Documents; check and verify pertinent figures shown thereon and verify all applicable field measurements prior to commencing work. He or she shall at once report in writing to the Engineer any conflict, error, or discrepancy that he or she may discover. The Contractor shall be responsible for exercising reasonable care and skill in reviewing the Contract Documents to determine whether there is any conflict, error, or discrepancy. No claim for additional compensation shall be made by the Contractor for extra work created by conflicts, errors, or discrepancies in the Contract Documents that the Contractor should have discovered prior to submitting his or her bid.

No information derived from inspection of records or investigations or compilations of same made by the City will, in any way, relieve the Contractor from his or her obligations under the Contract Documents nor entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation. The Contractor will not and agrees not to make any claims against the City based upon ignorance or misunderstanding of any condition of the work site or of the requirements set forth in the Contract Documents.

DISCOVERY OF UNFORESEEN SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS. The Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the City in writing of any:
(1) Material that the Contractor believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law. In addition, reference is made to Section 14-11 of Caltrans Standard and Revised Standard Specifications.
(2) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated. (3) Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract Documents.

The City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions so materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in the contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, the City shall issue a change order under the procedures set forth in the Contract Documents.

In the event that a dispute arises between the City and the Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, the Contractor shall not be released from any scheduled completion date provided for by the contract, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Contract. The Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law that pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.

For purposes of this provision, prompt notice shall mean notice three (3) calendars days from the discovery of the unforeseen subsurface conditions or prior to the discovered condition being disturbed, whichever is earlier.

BID PROPOSAL SUBSTITUTIONS. Any and all requests for substitutions of “an equal” item and all supporting materials shall be submitted to the Engineer at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the bid opening. If no requests for substitutions are received, the Contractor waives any right

B-3
3 3
Specs 25/26-05
to request any substitution.

INTERPRETATION OF PLANS. If any person contemplating submitting a bid for the proposed contract is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the Contract Documents, or finds discrepancies in, or omissions from, these Documents, he or she may submit to the Engineer a written request for an interpretation of correction thereof. Any interpretation or correction of the Contract Documents shall be made only by addendum and provided to each person receiving a set of such documents. The Engineer will only be responsible for explanations or interpretations of the Contract Documents as requested pursuant to and provided for by this paragraph. Any omissions from these Contract Documents not called to the attention of the Engineer shall not affect the validity of the bid process or the contract eventually awarded.

PROPOSAL GUARANTEE. Each proposal shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check or bid bond in the amount of not less than ten (10%) percent of the total amount named in the proposal. Said check or bond shall be made payable to the City of La Cañada Flintridge and shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder, if awarded the work, will enter into a contract within ten (10) calendar days after date of written notice of award and will furnish satisfactory Faithful Performance Bond and Labor and Material Bond, each of said bonds to be in the amount stated in the Notice Inviting Bids. In case of refusal or failure to enter into said contract, each check or bond, as the case may be, shall be forfeited to the City. If the bidder elects to furnish a bid bond as his proposal guarantee, he shall use the form furnished by the City, or one conforming substantially to it in form.

Bidder understands that a bid is required for the entire work that the estimated quantities set forth in the bid schedule are solely for the purpose of comparing bids and that final compensation under the contract will be based upon the actual quantities of work satisfactorily completed. It is agreed that the unit and/or lump sum prices bid include all appurtenant expenses, taxes, royalties and fees. In the case of discrepancies in the amounts bid, unit prices shall govern over extended amounts and words shall govern over figures.

IMMIGRATION REFORM AND CONTROL ACT. The successful bidder will be required to comply with all requirements of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (“Act”). The successful bidder agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the City harmless from penalties imposed as a result of non-compliance with the Act.

CLAYTON AND CARTWRIGHT ACTS. By submitting a bid, the bidder offers and agrees that if the bid is accepted, it will assign the City all rights, titles, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under § 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 commencing with § 16700) of Part 2 Division 7 of the Business and Profession Code, arising from purchases of goods, materials or services by the bidder for sale to the City pursuant to the bid.

Such assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the City tenders final payment to the bidder.

ADDENDA OR BULLETINS. Any addenda or bulletins issued during the time of bidding which form a part of the specifications and/or contract documents shall be covered in the bid and shall be made part of the contract.

Specs 25/26-05
COMPETENCY OF BIDDERS. In selecting the lowest responsible bidder, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing but also to the general competency of the bidder for the performance of the work covered by the proposal. To this end, each proposal shall be accompanied by a statement of the bidder's experience as to recent date on the form furnished by the City entitled "INFORMATION REQUIRED OF BIDDER."
All bidders shall be licensed in accordance with provisions of Chapter 9, Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code of the State of California and shall possess a State Contractor’s license, Class A at the time of bid submittal. The bidder must state, under penalty of perjury, the license number and expiration date. The successful Contractor and his subcontractors will be required to obtain a current business license from the City prior to start of the work.

DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS. More than one proposal form from an individual, firm, partnership, corporation, or association under the same or different names will not be considered.

Reasonable grounds for believing that any bidder is interested in more than one proposal for the work contemplated will cause the rejection of all proposals in which such bidder is interested. If there is reason for believing that collusion exists among the bidders, all bids will be rejected and none of the participants in such collusion will be considered for future proposals.

No proposal for work will be accepted from a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with the provisions of the Business and Professions Code; and who do not possess a State Contractor’s license, Class A at the time of bid submittal.

AWARD OF CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE RESPONSIBLE BIDDER. The award of the Contract, if made by the City through action of the City Council, will be to the Lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder whose proposal complies with all the requirements prescribed.

The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive any informality in a bid, and to make awards in the interest of the City. Bids shall remain valid for a period of ninety (90) days or until the contract is awarded, whichever is earlier.

The basis for the award of contract shall be the Contractor’s Base Bid. If additive alternates are included in the Scope of Work, the City reserves the right to include the work described in any of the additive alternates as part of the contract based on the bids received and the City’s budget at the time of contract award.

BID PROTESTS. Bidders may file a protest to another’s bid by complying with the following:

1. The protest must be filed with the City Clerk within seven (7) calendar days after the bid opening.

2. The protest must clearly specify the irregularity in the bid that is being protested or the grounds for the protest.

3. The protest must identify the proposed City action or recommendation that is being protested.

4. The protest must specify in detail the grounds of the protest and all facts supporting the protest.

5. The protest must include all documents supporting the protest.

If the protest does not comply with each of these requirements, it will be invalid.

B-5
5 5
Specs 25/26-05
If the protest meets the aforesaid requirements, the Director of Public Works or his/her designee shall review the basis of the protest and all relevant information. The Director of Public Works will provide a written decision to the protestor. If the protester or any affected party disagrees with the decision, the decision may be appealed to the City Council. Such appeal shall be heard when the City Council considers the award of the contract.

The City may reject any bid which, in its opinion when compared to other bids received, or by the City’s internal estimates, does not accurately reflect the cost to perform the work. The City may reject as non-responsive any bid which unevenly weighs or allocates costs, including, but not limited to, overhead and profit to one or more particular bid items.

RESPONSIVE BIDDER. A responsive bidder shall mean a bidder who has submitted a bid, which conforms in all material respects with the Bid Documents.

RESPONSIBLE BIDDER. A responsible bidder shall mean a bidder who has the capability in all respects, to perform fully the requirements of the Contract Documents and the moral and business integrity and reliability, which will assure good faith performance. In determining responsibility, the following criteria will be considered: (i) the ability, capacity and skill of the bidder to perform the Work of the Contract Documents; (ii) whether the bidder can perform the Work of the Contract Documents promptly and within the time specified, without delay or interference; (iii) the character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience and efficiency of the bidder; (iv) the quality of performance of the bidder on previous contracts, by way of example only, the following information will be considered; (a) the administrative, consultant or other cost overruns incurred by the City on pervious contracts with the bidder; (b) the bidder's compliance record with contract general conditions on other projects; (c) the submittal by the bidder of excessive and/or unsubstantiated extra cost proposals and claims on the other projects; (d) the bidder's record for completion of work within the contract time and the bidder's compliance with scheduling and coordination requirements on the other projects; (e) the bidder's demonstrated cooperation with the City and other contractors on previous contracts; (f) whether the work performed and materials furnished on previous contracts were in accordance with the Contract Documents; (v) the previous and existing compliance by the bidder with laws and ordinances relating to contracts; (vi) the sufficiency of the financial resources and ability of the bidder to perform the work of the Contract Documents; (vii) the quality, availability and adaptability of the goods or services to the particular use required; (viii) ability of the bidder to provide future maintenance and service for the warranty period of the Contract; (ix) whether the bidder is in arrears to an City on debt or contract or is a defaulter on any surety bond; (x) such other information as may be secured by the City having a bearing on the decision to award the Contract, to include without limitation the ability, experience and commitment of the bidder to properly and reasonably plan, schedule, coordinate and execute the Work of the Contract Documents and whether the bidder has ever been debarred from bidding or found ineligible for bidding on any other projects. The purpose of the above is to enable the City in its opinion, to select the bid, which is in the best interests of the City; the ability of the low bidder to provide the required bonds will not of itself demonstrate responsibility of the bidder.

RETURN OF PROPOSAL GUARANTEE. Within ten (10) days after award of the contract, the City will return all proposal guarantees to their respective bidder except those accompanying proposals submitted by the three lowest responsible bidders. Those three will be held until the contract

B-6
6 6

has been finally executed after which they will be returned to the respective bidders whose proposal they accompany.

EXECUTION OF CONTRACT. The bidder to whom award is made shall execute a written contract with the City on the form of agreement provided, and shall secure all insurance, securities, and bonds required by the Specifications within ten (10) calendar days after date of written Notice of Award. Failure or refusal to enter into a Contract Agreement as herein provided or to conform to any of the stipulated requirements in connection therewith shall be just cause for annulment of the award and the forfeiture of the proposal guarantee. If the successful bidder refuses or fails to execute Contract Agreement, the City may award the contract to the second lowest responsible bidder. If the second lowest responsible bidder refuses or fails to execute the contract, the City may award the contract to the third lowest responsible bidder. On the failure or refusal to such second or third lowest bidders to execute Contract Agreement, such bidders' guarantee likewise shall be forfeited to the City. The work may then be re-advertised.

NON-DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT. Contracts for work under this proposal will obligate the contractors and subcontractors not to discriminate against any person on account of race, color, religion, physical handicap, medical condition, marital status, age (over 40), sex, or national origin.

WAGE DETERMINATIONS. As required by the California Labor Code, the contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit to the City twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each workman paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for such work or craft in which such workman is employed for work done under this contract by him or by any subcontractor under him.

WORKING HOURS. As required by the California Labor Code, the contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit to the City twenty-five ($25.00) for each workman employed in the execution of the contract by the contractor or by any subcontractor under him for each calendar day during which such workman is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one (1) calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one (1) calendar week, unless such worker received compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than 1.5 times the basic rate of pay.

Neither the City nor any of its insurers shall be required to contribute to any such loss.

The Contractor shall furnish a certificate of insurance countersigned by an authorized agent of the Insurance Carrier on a form of the Insurance Carrier setting forth the general provisions of the insurance coverage. This countersigned certificate shall verify that the City of La Cañada Flintridge, its agents, officers, and employees are named as additional insured under the policy.

The certificate by the Insurance Carrier shall contain a statement of obligation on the part of the Carrier to notify the City of any material change, cancellation or termination of the coverage at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any such material change, cancellation or termination. The required certificate shall be furnished by the contractor prior to execution of the contract by the City.

WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Prior to execution of Contract Agreement by the City, the Contractor shall furnish a Certificate of Workers' Compensation Insurance.

NONDISCRIMINATION CLAUSE (STD 17A) - NONDISCRIMINATION CLAUSE (OCP -1)

1.

401 – REMOVAL
401-2 ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT
Add the following:

Spc25/26-05 SP-38
Bituminous pavement shall be removed to neatly sawed edges. Saw cuts shall be to a minimum depth of 3 inches. Where only the surface of existing bituminous pavement is to be removed, the method of removal shall be approved by the Engineer, and a minimum laying depth of 1 inch of new pavement material shall be provided at the join line. Where bituminous pavement adjoins a trench, the edges adjacent to the trench shall be saw cut to neat straight lines before resurfacing to ensure that all areas to be resurfaced are accessible to the rollers used to compact the subgrade or paving materials.

Bituminous pavement on curb and gutter, sidewalk or drive approaches shall be removed by heating with a torch to soften the pavement without creating smoke.

Softening shall be performed until the bituminous material can be easily scraped away down to the underlying PCC surface. The blade used for scraping shall be maintained straight along its edge and clean. Bituminous material shall be scraped in this manner until it is completely removed.
401-3 CONCRETE AND MASONRY IMPROVEMENTS.
401-3.2 Concrete Curb, Walk, Gutters, Cross Gutters, Curb Ramps, Driveway, and Alley Intersections.

Concrete shall be removed to neatly sawed edges with saw cuts made to a minimum depth of 1½-inches. Concrete sidewalk, or driveway to be removed shall be neatly sawed in straight lines either parallel to the curb or at right angles to the alignment of the sidewalk. No section to be replaced shall be smaller than 30 inches in either length or width. If the saw cut in sidewalk, access ramp, or driveway would fall within 30 inches of a construction joint, expansion joint, or edge, the concrete shall be removed to the joint or edge, except that where the saw cut would fall within 12 inches of a score mark, the saw cut shall be made in and along the score mark. Curb and gutter shall be sawed to a depth of 1½- inches on a neat line at right angles to the curb face.

All new concrete shall be placed within 3-working days after removal of existing concrete. Excavations shall not be left open over weekends or holidays. 402 – UTILITIES
402-1 LOCATION. Subsection 402-1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 4216 of the California Government Code, which requires the Contractor to contact Underground Service Alert of Southern California (USA) at 811 at least 2 working days but not more than 14 calendar days prior to performing any excavation or drilling. Caltrans is not a member of this regional notification center. The Contractor shall contact Caltrans for the location of Caltrans' substructures when working in or near Caltrans' right-of-way.

Spc25/26-05 SP-39
If practical, the Contractor shall delineate with white paint or other suitable markings any area to be excavated. If the Contractor determines that this is not practical because the markings may confuse or mislead motorists or for other reasons, it shall contact USA to advise the utility owners that the area to be excavated will be identified in another manner sufficient to enable the utility owner to determine the area of the excavation.

Where underground distribution conduits for water, gas, sewer, electric power, telephone, cable television, or other utilities are present, the Contractor, for the purpose of preparing a bid, shall assume that every property parcel will be served by a service connection for each type of utility.

The Agency may arrange for and conduct a preconstruction meeting between the Contractor, the Engineer, and the utility companies to discuss scheduling, coordination of any required utility relocations, and the protection of existing utilities. The Contractor shall attend any preconstruction meeting scheduled by the Agency and shall cooperate with all utility owners performing utility relocation or installation work on the Work site.

Where water lines exist, at each angle point, cross connection and "T" connection, the Contractor, for bidding purposes, shall assume the existence of a concrete thrust block located such as to resolve thrust loads. Any and all costs resulting from the existence of a thrust block, including costs for its removal and restoration, if required, shall be deemed as being included in the prices bid for the various items of work.

The Contractor shall determine the location and depth of all utilities, including service connections, which have been marked by the respective utility owner and which may affect or be affected by its operations prior to the start of any mainline or lateral trench construction. Any utility found to be mis-marked (not within 2') as indicated must be located by the utility owner.

The Engineer may, at his discretion, require one or more exploratory excavations to be dug prior to any trenching to be performed, or in advance of other construction operations to confirm the location of utilities. Exploratory excavations ordered by the Engineer shall be paid for at the unit bid price for additional pothole, including backfilling and restoration of pavement or concrete.

The commencement of exploratory excavations for storm drain and sewer construction shall be in accordance with Section 6-1, as amended.

The Contractor shall determine the location of all subsurface installations, except for non- pressurized sewer lines and storm drains by excavating with hand tools within the approximate area of subsurface installations as determined by the field markings provided by the utility owners before using any power-operated or power-driven excavation or boring equipment within the approximate location of the subsurface installation. However, power-operated or power-driven excavating or boring equipment may be used for the removal of any existing pavement if there are no subsurface installations contained in the pavement.
