Laguna Beach City Council
October 13, 2026

To support the implementation of the Fleet Electrification, staff issued an RFP in May 2025 for “Design, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)” at City Hall and the Corp Yard. The RFP sought a qualified contractor to provide turnkey services, including project management, site design, permitting, utility coordination, procurement of EVSE, installation, commissioning, and integration of a charging management system.

The City received nine proposals in response to the RFP. A comprehensive evaluation process was conducted based on proposer qualifications, relevant project experience, technical approach, project timeline, cost proposal, and long-term support.

Following the evaluation, PowerFlex Systems was selected as the preferred contractor. PowerFlex demonstrated strong experience in delivering municipal EV infrastructure projects across Southern California, including similar deployments for Los Angeles County and Santa Barbara County. Their proposed team offered in-depth technical expertise, and their approach demonstrated a clear understanding of the City’s operational needs. Most notably, PowerFlex was determined to be the most cost-effective and best overall value for the City. Staff recommends award of contract to PowerFlex in the form of agreement 152

included as Attachments 2, 3, and 4. Please note that PowerFlex did have some requested modifications to the City’s Design-Build contract. These requested changes are summarized as follows:
• Reduced the amount of liquidated damages from $500/day to $250/day. Further, excluded from days where liquidated damages apply are delays caused from permitting delays by the City, SCE or other permitting agency. Finally, liquidated damages are capped at 5% of each contract (see below for value of each of the three contracts).
• Overall liability is limited by the amount of each contract sans willful misconduct or fraud. • The City’s Corp Yard blackout dates excluded from Project schedule deadlines. • PowerFlex entitled to extra compensation for holiday work or work outside normal business hours that increase their costs.

To offset the cost of EV charging infrastructure, staff submitted applications to SCE for their CRT Program.

The applications covered the Corporation Yard and City Hall (General Fleet and Police Department). The applications have been approved by SCE. Following approval, SCE conducted detailed site visits and has now provided the City with draft contracts for each location (Attachments 4, 6, and 7). The rebates offered through the CRT program are as follows:
• Corporation Yard: $630,334
• City Hall – General Fleet: $145,146
• City Hall – Police Department: $114,675
Together, these rebates total $890,155, which will offset the City’s EV infrastructure costs. These incentives will support the installation of 47 EV chargers across the two sites as described below. • City Hall: 16 chargers to support 54 vehicles
• Corporation Yard: 31 chargers to support 68 vehicles
• Total Cost: $5,423,054.68 (not including 10-year O&M) • CRT Rebates from SCE: $890,155
• Net Cost to the City: Approximately $4.53 million
Next Steps
Staff are now recommending the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with PowerFlex Systems, appropriate the required funding, and execute the three rebate agreements with Southern California Edison. Once approved, charger installation is expected to be completed within 18 months. Prior to final commissioning of the EV charging equipment, the City and Powerflex will enter into separate software services agreements for the operation of the EV Charging stations.

Alternatives to Consider
The City Council may decide to proceed with all, some, or none of the proposed locations. The costs for each site are as broken down in the table below and individual contracts are proposed for each. If the City Council decides not to proceed with a specific site, the transition to electric vehicles will be delayed. 153

Importantly, moving forward with this proposal may screen out other capital projects, given that the $4.53 million in funding would come from sources from which other projects might be considered, like those in the Facilities Management Plan (FMP) and the fund set aside for parking facility improvements. The Council may wish to consider where the EV effort lands within that context.

COST $1,075,281.37 $1,915,017.16 $5,253,276.15 $8,243,574.68

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended actions require $5,423,055 for Powerflex to design and install the charging infrastructure at all three locations. This is the result of subtracting the ongoing O&M costs from the other costs in the above table. The SCE Charge Ready program will offset this cost by $890,155.

The project design, construction, and commissioning is proposed to be funded with $4,995,500 from the Future Parking Facilities and Mobility project (Account 6183130C-81000-C2216) and $427,555 from the Future City Facilities Funding project (Account 6163130C-81000-C1904). As noted, this means that the EV project will compete with things like the FMP’s projects and future parking facility improvements.

The additional cost of $2,820,520 for O&M will need to be budgeted in the annual Public Works operating budget over the ten-year period (so roughly $280,000 per year) following the completion of the project.

We have not identified sources or substitutions for this annual amount. Yet to be known is the extent to which any savings from lower gas and diesel purchases will be offset by the costs of electricity.

1 AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR FLEET ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING IMPLEMENTATION Questions and Answers From August 4, 2026 Meeting
Below are responses to questions that were raised by the City Council and the public at the August 4th City Council meeting.

1. Will the proposed chargers be available to the public? a. Five of the proposed DC Fast Chargers at the Corporation Yard are within a publicly accessible area. Staff has confirmed with PowerFlex that these charging units can be programmed to allow for public charging. The public charging would be at a rate set by the City and collected through the charging unit similar to other public charging stations. The proposed chargers at City Hall are all behind a secured gate and are not accessible to the public.

2. Can the chargers be moved to allow public use?
a. The chargers can be moved; however, it will present logistical challenges for charging the City’s fleet vehicles. In addition, changes to the current design would void the City’s approved Charge Ready application with SCE and SCE is no longer accepting new applications.

3. Can the chargers be connected to solar panels for cost savings? a. Adding solar panels at each site to energize the charging units is an option. The installation of solar arrays is a separate project the City has explored; however, there has not been a direction to proceed with the development of solar arrays at the proposed sites.

4. Are the proposed chargers fast chargers?
a. Yes. The following chargers are proposed to be installed as a part of this project; however, it should be noted that heavy duty and medium duty vehicles take longer to charge and the charge does not last as long as what is experienced with light duty vehicles.
i. LiteOn IC80A – Level 2 fast charger (not a DC fast Charger) ii. Zerova DS 120 kW – Level 3 DC fast charger
iii. Zerova DW 30kW – Lower speed fast charger for overnight charging iv. Zerova DS 60 kW – Level 3 DC fast charger

5. Clarify what is required to be in compliance with the State mandate. a. The City has selected the Option 2 – Pathway. Instead of regulating each year's purchases, this pathway establishes progressively increasing requirements for the percentage of the City's applicable fleet that must be zero-emission.

Vehicles are divided into groups based generally on their type and the expected availability of suitable zero-emission technology. Vehicles that are easier to electrify are required to transition first, while more specialized 156
2 vehicles are provided additional time. This provides the City with greater flexibility to determine which vehicles to transition and when, provided the overall fleet meets each applicable ZEV milestone. The chart below provides a summary of the CARB requirements for the Option 2 conversion pathway.

Group 3: Sleeper-cab tractors and specialty vehicles 2030 2033 2036 2039 2042

6. Provide a complete cost analysis for electric vehicles versus gasoline-powered vehicles.
a. The cost analysis is provided in a separate attachment.

7. What is the deadline for the SCE Charge Ready program? a. The deadline to apply for new projects is passed so new or modified applications are no longer being accepted. Therefore, no changes to the existing application will be allowed. The deadline to execute the agreements is December 31, 2026.

8. Does the Charge Ready Program allow changes to the design? a. No. There is not an option to make changes to the type, number, and location of the charging units. Such changes would require a new application and since the application deadline is passed, a new application is not an option.

9. Does the Charge Ready Program limit the type of charging infrastructure? a. Yes, the Charge Ready program lists specific types of equipment that are preapproved and eligible for the program. All of the proposed equipment is eligible under the CRT program.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

1.01Project Scope and Key Requirements
PowerFlex understands that the City of Laguna Beach is seeking a qualified partner to design, engineer (based on already completed 30% Construction Drawings), procure, install, and commission Level 2 and DCFC electric vehicle (EV) chargers at the Corporation Yard to support the electrification of City vehicles by 2030. 31 chargers should be deployed at the Corp Yard. The City has received funding from Southern California Edison's (SCE) Charge Ready Transport (CRT) program.

The project also includes the installation of infrastructure that can support future expansion, such as additional EVSE, conduit runs, and panel capacity — consistent with best practices for long-term planning.

In accordance with the City’s stated goals and technical requirements, PowerFlex will:
• Conduct a detailed site evaluation and feasibility study • Submit plans and specifications for permitting
• Deliver a turnkey EVSE deployment, including concrete work, trenching, panel upgrades (if needed), signage, striping, and commissioning
• Ensure compliance with ADA, CALGreen, NEC, CPUC rules, and SCE interconnection and Charge Ready Transport requirements
• Integrate the stations into a networked management platform that enables real-time monitoring and user access
PowerFlex also recognizes the importance of minimizing visual and physical disruption in Laguna Beach’s sensitive coastal environment and community spaces and will work collaboratively to ensure aesthetic and environmental considerations are part of the design from day one.

1.02 Understanding of Electrical Infrastructure
EVSE deployment depends on a range of electrical infrastructure considerations, including:
• Available panel capacity and location of main switchgear • Conduit routing feasibility, especially in existing parking lots with limited access points • Utility service type (single vs. three-phase) and proximity to transformer • Load calculations and demand management needs
PowerFlex’s electrical engineers will conduct a thorough load analysis to determine available capacity at each proposed site and identify whether panel upgrades or new service drops are required. If infrastructure is constrained, PowerFlex X enables dynamic load sharing across chargers. This can eliminate or defer costly upgrades, improve utilization, and reduce operational costs — all while aligning with NEC 625.42 and SCE standards.

Section 1. Project Understanding
Project Scope and Key Requirements
PowerFlex understands that the City of Laguna Beach is seeking a qualified partner to design, engineer, procure, install, commission and operate Level 2 and DCFC electric vehicle (EV) chargers across city-owned parking lots. Specifically, the City must install 47 electric vehicle chargers at City Hall and the Corp Yard to support the electrification of 122 City vehicles by 2030. 16 chargers will be installed at the gated parking lot of City Hall, while 31 chargers should be deployed at the Corp Yard. The City has applied for Southern California Edison's (SCE) Charge Ready Transport (CRT) program and is awaiting approval to proceed with contracting.

To meet the requirements of the SCE CRT Program, the project at the City Hall is divided into two separate projects. One project includes the chargers designated for the Police Department, specifically for patrol vehicles, while the second project includes the chargers for non-police or non-patrol vehicles.

The project also includes the installation of infrastructure that can support future expansion, such as additional EVSE, conduit runs, and panel capacity — consistent with best practices for long-term planning.

In accordance with the City’s stated goals and technical requirements, PowerFlex will:

Conduct a detailed site evaluation and feasibility study Submit plans and specifications for permitting
Deliver a turnkey EVSE deployment, including concrete work, trenching, panel upgrades (if needed), signage, striping, and commissioning
Ensure compliance with ADA, CALGreen, NEC, CPUC rules, and SCE interconnection and Charge Ready Transport requirements
Integrate the stations into a networked management platform that enables real-time monitoring and user access
PowerFlex also recognizes the importance of minimizing visual and physical disruption in Laguna Beach’s sensitive coastal environment and community spaces and will work collaboratively to ensure aesthetic and environmental considerations are part of the design from day one.

Understanding of Electrical Infrastructure
EVSE deployment depends on a range of electrical infrastructure considerations, including:

Available panel capacity and location of main switchgear Conduit routing feasibility, especially in existing parking lots with limited access points Utility service type (single vs. three-phase) and proximity to transformer Load calculations and demand management needs
PowerFlex’s in-house electrical engineers will conduct a thorough load analysis to determine available capacity at each proposed site and identify whether panel upgrades or new service drops are required. If infrastructure is constrained, PowerFlex X enables dynamic load sharing across chargers. This can eliminate or defer costly upgrades, improve utilization, and reduce operational costs — all while aligning with NEC 625.42 and SCE standards.
172
PowerFlex – City of Laguna Beach EVSE Proposal |4
Challenges and Proposed Solutions
PowerFlex recognizes that EVSE deployment in a coastal, community-focused city like Laguna Beach presents a unique set of technical and logistical challenges. The PowerFlex team brings deep experience navigating these complexities and applies proven solutions to ensure a streamlined, cost-effective installation. One common challenge is limited electrical capacity at existing sites. To address this, PowerFlex begins each project with a comprehensive load analysis to assess available panel space and service constraints. When infrastructure is tight, PowerFlex’s proprietary adaptive load management software, PowerFlex X, intelligently balances charging loads across all ports. This allows the City to support more EV chargers without triggering costly upgrades to panels or transformers.

Another frequent issue is trenching and conduit routing in existing parking lots or paved areas. These conditions can drive up costs or raise concerns about visual or environmental impact. PowerFlex mitigates this by optimizing charger placement to reduce trenching distances and, when appropriate, utilizing horizontal boring or surface-mounted raceways to limit disruption.

Permitting and agency coordination can also create project delays if not proactively managed. PowerFlex’s dedicated permitting team engages early with the City’s Planning, Building, and Public Works departments to clarify requirements and streamline submittals. PowerFlex prepares full code-compliant design packages and maintain consistent communication throughout the review and inspection process to avoid delays.

Ensuring ADA accessibility is another essential consideration. PowerFlex’s design team incorporates CBCand Title 24-compliant layouts into every site plan, including van-accessible EV charging spaces and properly sloped access paths. PowerFlex has successfully delivered numerous public-sector projects that meet or exceed California accessibility standards.

Finally, PowerFlex recognizes the importance of maintaining Laguna Beach’s community aesthetics and visual character. As part of PowerFlex’s design process, PowerFlex will work with City staff to select lowprofile equipment and provide visual renderings where appropriate. This ensures the installation aligns with both community expectations and long-term sustainability goals.

Proposed Hardware & Software Solutions
PowerFlex X platform operates on OCPP 1.6J and OCPP 2.0 standards.

234
A2-10

2. No provision of any such standard, specification, manual, or code, or any instruction of a supplier, shall be effective to change the duties or responsibilities of City, Design-Build Entity, or City’s Representative, or any of their Subcontractors, consultants, agents, or employees, from those set forth in the Contract Documents. No such provision or instruction shall be effective to assign to City or City’s Representative, or any of their officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, consultants, or subcontractors, any duty or authority to supervise or direct the performance of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility inconsistent with the provisions of the Contract Documents.

3.3 Order of Precedence.

A. The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all necessary criteria to establish the scope and quality for completion of the Work on the Project by the Design-Build Entity. The Contract Documents are complementary and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all. Performance by the Design-Build Entity shall be required to the extent consistent with, and reasonably inferable from, the Contract Documents.

B. Except as may be otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents, the provisions of the Contract Documents shall take precedence in resolving any conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy between the provisions of the Contract Documents and the provisions of any standard, specification, manual, or code, or the instruction of any Supplier (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference in the Contract Documents); or the provisions of any Applicable Laws (unless such an interpretation of the provisions of the Contract Documents would result in violation of such Applicable Law).

C. In resolving conflicts among any of the Contract Documents, the order of precedence shall be as follows:

1. Permits from other agencies as may be required by law;

2. Change Orders or Pending Change Orders, most recent first;

3.5 Interpretation and Use of Contract Documents.

A. City and the Design-Build Entity acknowledge that the Contract Documents may differ in some respect(s) from the other documents included in the RFP upon which the Design-Build Entity based its Proposal. Prior to the commencement of construction on the Project, the parties shall confirm, in writing, the final form of the Contract Documents that are to be utilized. Specifically, once approved by City, the Construction Documents become a part of the Contract Documents and define the entire scope of work, so long as such documents incorporate all minimum requirements of the Bridging Documents. The Design-Build Entity shall certify that the Construction Documents are in full compliance with the Contract Documents, except as noted.

B. Organization of the Performance Specifications into various subdivisions and the arrangement of the Drawings shall not control the Design-Build Entity in dividing portions of the Work necessary for the Project among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.

C. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, technical words and abbreviations contained in the Contract Documents are used in accordance with commonly understood design professional and construction industry meanings; nontechnical words and abbreviations are used in accordance with their commonly understood meanings.

D. The Contract Documents may omit modifying words such as “all” and “any,” and articles such as “the” and “an,” but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement. The use of the word “including,” when following any general statement, shall not be construed to limit such statement to specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non limiting language (such as “without limitation,” “but not limited to,” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all 236
A2-12
other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement.

E. Whenever the context so requires, the use of the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa. Each gender shall be deemed to include any other gender, and each shall include a corporation, partnership, trust, or other legal entity, whenever the context so requires. The captions and headings of the various subdivisions of the Contract Documents are intended only for reference and convenience and in no way define, limit, or prescribe the scope or intent of the Contract Documents or any subdivision thereof.

F. Each and every provision of law required by law to be inserted in the Contract Documents shall be deemed to be inserted herein, and the Contract Documents shall be read and enforced as though it were included herein, and if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not correctly inserted, then upon application of either party the Contract shall be amended in writing to make such insertion or correction.

G. Before commencing any Work on the Project, the Design-Build Entity shall check and review the Contract Documents, including the Construction Documents, for conformance and compliance with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities and public utilities affecting the construction and operation of the physical plant of the Project, all quasi-governmental and other regulations affecting the construction and operation of the physical plant of the Project, and other special requirements, if any, designated in the Contract. In the event the Design-Build Entity observes any violation of any law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, or inconsistency with any such restrictions or special requirements of the Contract, the Design-Build Entity shall immediately notify City’s Representative in writing of the same and shall cause to be corrected any such violation or inconsistency in the manner provided hereunder. The Design-Build Entity shall be solely liable for any such violation, inconsistency or special requirement, if Design-Build Entity fails to conduct such review or notification to City.

H. Before commencing any Work on the Project, the Design-Build Entity shall carefully examine all Performance Specifications, the Contract, the Contract Documents and other information given to the Design-Build Entity as to Project requirements. The Design-Build Entity shall immediately notify City’s Representative of any perceived or alleged error, inconsistency, ambiguity, or lack of detail or explanation in such documents in writing. Neither the Design-Build Entity nor any Subcontractor shall take advantage of any apparent error or omission which may be found in the Performance Specifications, the Contract, the Contract Documents or other information given to Design-Build Entity. If the Design-Build Entity or its Subcontractors, material or equipment suppliers, or any of their officers, agents, and employees performs, permits, or causes the performance of any Work under the Contract, which it knows or should have known to be in error, inconsistent, or ambiguous, or not sufficiently detailed or explained, the Design-Build Entity shall bear any and all costs arising therefrom including, without limitation, the cost of correction thereof without increase or adjustment to the Contract Price or the Project Completion Date. In no case shall any Subcontractor proceed with Work if uncertain without the Design-Build Entity’s written direction and/or approval.

Any conclusion or information obtained or derived from such electronic files will be at the user’s sole risk. If there is a discrepancy between the electronic files and the hard copies, the hard copies govern.

B. Because data stored in electronic media format can deteriorate or be modified inadvertently or otherwise without authorization of the data’s creator, the party receiving electronic files agrees that it will perform acceptance tests or procedures within sixty (60) Days, after which the receiving party shall be deemed to have accepted the data thus transferred. Any errors detected within the 60-Day acceptance period will be corrected by the transferring party.

C. When transferring documents in electronic media format, the transferring party makes no representations as to long term compatibility, usability, or readability of documents resulting from the use of software application packages, operating systems, or computer hardware differing from those used by the data’s creator.

3.8 Ownership and Use of Construction Documents.

A. The Construction Documents, and all copies thereof, furnished to, or provided by, the Design-Build Entity are the property of City. City and the Design-Build Entity explicitly agree that all materials and documents developed in the performance of this Contract are the property of City pursuant to the requirements of City. City shall have unlimited rights, for the benefit of City, in all drawings, designs, technical specifications, notes and any other documentation and other Work developed in the performance of this Contract for the Project, including the right to re-use details of the Design on any other City Work at no additional cost to City. The Design-Build Entity agrees to, and hereby does, grant to City a royalty free license to all such data that the Design-Build Entity may cover by copyright and to all designs as to which the Design-Build Entity may assert any right or establish any claim to under the patent or copyright laws. The Design-Build Entity, for a period up to five (5) years from the date of Completion of the Project, agrees to furnish and to provide access to the originals or copies of all such materials immediately upon the written request of City. Any use or reuse by City of the 238
A2-14
Construction Documents on any project other than this Project without employing the services of the Design-Build Entity shall be at City’s own risk with respect to third parties. If City uses or re-uses the Construction Documents on any project other than this Project, it shall remove the A/E’s seal from the Construction Documents and hold harmless Design-Build Entity, A/E, and their officers, directors, agents and employees from claims arising out of the use or re-use of the Construction Documents on such other project. Design-Build Entity shall not be responsible or liable for any revisions to the Construction Documents made by any party other than the Design-Build Entity, a party for which the Design-Build Entity is legally responsible or liable, or anyone approved by the Design-Build Entity.

3.9 Administration of the Contract by City’s Representative.

A. During the term of this Design-Build Contract, City’s Representative shall have the right to review the Design-Build Entity’s Work at such intervals as deemed appropriate by City’s Representative. However, no actions taken during such review or site visit by City’s Representative shall relieve the Design-Build Entity of any of its obligations of single point responsibility for the design and construction of this Project nor form the basis for a Claim if such actions extend beyond the Project Completion Date.

B. City’s Representative will not have control over, will not be in charge of, and will not be responsible for design or construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work on the Project, since these are solely the Design-Build Entity’s responsibility.

Communications by the DesignBuild Entity with City’s consultants and City’s Representative’s consultants shall be through City’s Representative. Communications by City and City’s Representative with Subcontractors will be through the Design-Build Entity. Communications by the Design-Build Entity and Subcontractors with Separate Contractors shall be through City’s Representative. The Design-Build Entity shall not rely on oral or other nonwritten communications.

D. Based on City’s Representative’s Project site visits, review of the Work, and evaluations of the Design-Build Entity’s Applications for Payment, City’s Representative will recommend amounts, if any, due the Design-Build Entity and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.

E. City’s Representative will have the authority to reject Work on the Project, or any portion thereof, which does not conform to the Contract Documents. City’s Representative will have the authority to stop Work on the Project, or any portion thereof. Whenever City’s Representative considers it necessary, or advisable, for implementation of the intent of the Contract Documents, City’s Representative will have the authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work on the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed, or completed. However, no authority of City’s Representative conferred by the Contract Documents nor any decision made in good faith either to exercise, or to not exercise such authority, will give rise to a duty or responsibility of City or City’s 239
A2-15
Representative to the Design-Build Entity, or any person or entity claiming under, or through, the Design-Build Entity.

F. City’s Representative will have the authority to conduct inspections in connection with beneficial occupancy and to determine the dates of Completion; will receive for review and approval any records, written warranties, and related documents required by the Contract Documents and assembled by the Design-Build Entity; and will issue a final Certificate for Payment upon the Design-Build Entity’s compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

G. City’s Representative will be, in the first instance, the interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents and the judge of performance thereunder by the DesignBuild Entity. Should the Design-Build Entity discover any conflicts, omissions, or errors in the Construction Documents or the Contract Documents; have any questions about the interpretation or clarification of the Contract Documents; question whether Work is within the scope of the Contract Documents; then, before proceeding with the Work affected, the Design-Build Entity shall notify City’s Representative in writing and request interpretation, or clarification. City’s Representative’s response to questions and requests for interpretations, clarifications, instructions, or decisions will be made with reasonable promptness. Should the Design-Build Entity proceed with the Work affected before receipt of a response from City’s Representative, any portion of the Work on the Project which is not done in accordance with City’s Representative’s interpretations, clarifications, instructions, or decisions shall be removed or replaced and the Design-Build Entity shall be responsible for all resultant losses.

H. City may at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to or approval of the Design-Build Entity, replace City’s Representative with a new City Representative.

2. The City shall have the right to order changes in the Work by a unilateral Change Order setting forth the City’s determination of the reasonable additions or savings in the Contract Price and/or Contract Time.

B. Design-Build Entity Change Order Requests
279
A2-55

1. The Design-Build Entity agrees that one of the purposes of the Contract is to minimize the risk for Change Orders and reduce the likelihood of Change Orders. Change Order Requests shall be kept to a minimum.

2. The Design-Build Entity may request changes to the Contract Price and/or Contract Time for City directed changes in the Work or for Additional Work caused by the acts, errors, or omissions of the City, or caused by unforeseen conditions if, and only if, the Design-Build Entity follows the procedures specified in this Article. Work that should or could have been included as part of the Construction Documents or work resulting from ambiguities in the Construction Documents shall not be considered Additional Work and the City will not issue a Change Order for said work.

3. If Design-Build Entity intends to initiate a Change Order Request, then DesignBuild Entity shall provide the Agency with written notice of the underlying facts and circumstances that give rise to the proposed change. Design-Build Entity shall submit the notice of change/delay prior to performance of the work and no later than five (5) Days after the Agency’s work directive or Design-Build Entity discovers the circumstances causing the need for the Change Order. To be considered valid and complete, the notice of change/delay shall include a general statement of the circumstances giving rise to the notice of change/delay and a reasonable order of magnitude estimate of the additional costs and/or time. If the circumstances give rise to both a cost adjustment and time extension, Design-Build Entityr shall submit the notice of change and notice of delay concurrently.

4. A Change Order Request will only be deemed timely submitted if it is submitted prior to incurring any expense and within fourteen (14) Days from Design-Build Entity’s notice of change/delay.

5. A Change Order Request must state that it is a Change Order Request, state and justify the reason for the request, and specify the amount of any requested adjustment to the Contract Price and/or Contract Time, if any. The Change Order Request shall include all of the following information (unless inapplicable to the change): A detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to the request; A complete itemized cost proposal, including itemized pricing for costs; Supporting documentation for all costs; A time impact analysis showing the impact of the delay to the critical path to completion; If any added costs or information cannot be determined at the time of the Change Order Request, the reason the costs or information cannot be determined at the time; and Certification to the accuracy of the Change Order Request under penalty of perjury. The time impact analysis shall be in the critical path method format and shall show the sequencing of all critical and non-critical new activities and/or activity revisions affected by the delay, with logic ties to all affected existing activities noted on the schedule. The City may demand, and DesignBuild Entity shall provide, any additional information supporting the Change Order Request, including but not limited to native electronic format version of schedules and time impact analyses. Design-Build Entity shall provide the requested additional information within five (5) Days of the request. 280
A2-56

6. If the City denies the Change Order Request or disagrees with the proposal submitted by Design-Build Entity, it will notify the Design-Build Entity, and the City will provide its opinion of the appropriate change to the Contract Price and/or Contract Time. If no agreement can be reached, the City shall have the right to order the work by a unilateral Change Order setting forth the City’s determination of the reasonable additions or savings in the Contract Price and/or Contract Time, if any. The City’s determination shall become final and binding if the Design-Build Entity fails to submit a Claim in writing to the City within fourteen (14) Days of the issuance of the unilateral Change Order, disputing the terms of the unilateral Change Order and providing such supporting documentation for its position as the City may reasonably require.

C. Change Order Format

1. A Change Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith, including any adjustment in compensation or extension of time, and the full and final settlement of all costs (direct, indirect and overhead) related to the Work authorized by the Change Order.

2. The City may designate the forms to be used for notices, Change Order Requests, and Change Orders. If so designated, Design-Build Entity may only use such forms. Design-Build Entity shall not reserve a right to assert impact costs, extended job site costs, extended overhead, constructive acceleration and/or actual acceleration beyond what is stated in the Change Order. No Claims shall be allowed for impact, extended overhead costs, constructive acceleration and/or actual acceleration due to a multiplicity of changes and/or clarifications. The Design-Build Entity may not change or modify the City’s Change Order form in an attempt to reserve additional rights.

9.3 Determining Adjustments to Compensation.

A. Limitation on Costs. Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to any compensation for Work subject to a Change Order except as expressly set forth in this Article.

The mark-up added in instances of Additional Work shall constitute the entire amount of profit, any mark-ups, any field or home office overhead costs, including personnel, equipment or office space, any materials, or any costs of equipment idle time for such Work.

B. Lump Sum Change Orders. Whenever possible, any changes affecting compensation shall be in a lump sum mutually agreed by the Design-Build Entity and the City.

C. Time and Materials Change Orders. The City may direct the Design-Build Entity to proceed with the Additional Work with payment to be made on the basis of actual cost of the labor and materials required to complete the Additional Work. If the Project is federally funded, a time and materials Change Order shall only be issued after a determination that no other Change Order is suitable and the Change Order shall include a ceiling price that the Design-Build Entity exceeds at its own risk.

D. Federally Funded Projects. If applicable, for any change in price to the Contract, general and administrative expenses shall be negotiated and must conform to the 281
A2-57
cost principles set forth under at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, subpart E, and profit shall be negotiated as a separate element of the cost. To establish a fair and reasonable profit, consideration must be given to the complexity of the Additional Work to be performed, the risk borne by the Design-Build Entity, the Design-Build Entity's investment, the amount of subcontracting, the quality of its record of past performance, and industry profit rates in the surrounding geographical area for similar work.

E. Allowed Costs. Estimates for lump sum quotations and accounting for time-andmaterial work shall be limited to direct expenditures necessitated specifically by the change and shall be segregated as follows

1. Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of worker at the time the Additional Work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs resulting from federal, state or local laws, as well as assessment or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements. The use of a labor classification which would increase the Additional Work cost will not be permitted unless the Design-Build Entity establishes the necessity for such additional costs. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental.

2. Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be at the lowest current price at which such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight and delivery. Materials costs shall be based upon supplier or manufacturer’s invoice.

3. Tool and Equipment Use. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment use shall not exceed listed rates prevailing locally at equipment rental agencies, or distributors, at the time the work is performed.

The Design-Build Entity shall furnish cost data supporting the establishment of the rental rate. The rental rate to be applied for use of each items of equipment shall be the rate resulting in the least total cost to the City for the total period of use. The City shall the make the final determination as to an equitable rental rate for the equipment. No payment will be made for the use of small tools, which have a replacement value of $1,000 or less.
a. The rental time to be paid for equipment shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation on the Additional Work being performed. Rental time will not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns. b. All equipment shall, in the opinion of the City, be in good working condition and suitable for the purpose for which the equipment is to be used. Equipment with no direct power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer.
c. Before construction equipment is used on any Additional Work, the DesignBuild Entity shall plainly stencil or stamp an identifying number thereon at a 282
A2-58
conspicuous location, and shall furnish to the City, in duplicate, a description of the equipment and its identifying number.
d. When hourly rates are listed, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of operation shall be considered to be 1/2-hour of operation, and any part of an hour greater than 30 minutes will be considered one hour of operation. When daily rates are listed, any part of a day less than 4 hours operation shall be considered to be 1/2-day of operation.

4. Allowed Mark-up. The allowed mark-up for any and all overhead (including supervision and home and field office costs) and profit on work added to the Contract shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:
a. “Net Cost” is defined as the actual costs of labor, materials and tools and equipment only, excluding overhead and profit. The costs of applicable insurance and bond premium will be reimbursed to the Design-Build Entity and Subcontractors at cost only, without mark-up. Design-Build Entity shall provide the City with documentation of the costs, including but not limited to payroll records, invoices, and such other information as the City may reasonably request.
b. For Work performed by the Design-Build Entity’s forces the allowed mark-up shall not exceed fifteen (15%) percent of labor costs, ten percent (10%) of material costs, and ten percent (10%) of the cost of tools and equipment use. c. For Work performed by a Subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Subcontractor’s Net Cost of the Work to which the Design-Build Entity may add up to five percent (5%) of the Subcontractor’s Net Cost.
d. For Work performed by a sub-subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the sub-subcontractor’s Net Cost for Work to which the Subcontractor and Design-Build Entity may each add up to an additional five percent (5%) of the Net Cost of the lower tier subcontractor.
e. No additional mark-up will be allowed for lower tier subcontractors, and in no case shall the added cost for overhead and profit payable by the City exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Net Cost as defined herein, of the party that performs the Work.
f. Calculation of the mark-up will be subject to the limitations above and to calculation as further detailed in (b)(B)(5) above.

5. Documentation of Time-and-Material Costs.
a. T&M Daily Sheets. Design-Build Entity must submit timesheets, materials invoices, records of equipment hours, and records of rental equipment hours to the City’s for an approval signature each day that Work is performed on a time-and-material basis. The Engineer’s signature on time sheets only serves 283
A2-59
as verification that the Work was performed and is not indicative of the City’s agreement to Design-Build Entity’s entitlement to the cost. b. T&M Summary Sheet. Design-Build Entity shall submit a T&M Summary Sheet, which shall include total actual costs, within five (5) Days following completion of Additional Work on a time-and-material basis. Design-Build Entity’s total actual cost shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and any other costs, along with documentation supporting the costs. Design-Build Entity’s failure to submit the T&M Summary Sheet within five (5) Days of completion of the Additional Work will result in Design-Build Entity’s waiver for any reimbursement of any costs associated with the Additional Work.
c. Excluded Costs. The following costs or any other home or field office overhead costs, all of which are to be considered administrative costs covered by the Design-Build Entity’s mark-up, shall not be allowed costs and shall not be included in any lump sum proposals or time-and-materials invoices:
d. Overhead Cost. Payroll costs and other compensation of Design-Build Entity’s officers, executives, principals, general managers, engineers, architects, estimators, attorneys, auditors, accountants, purchasing and contracting agents, timekeepers, clerks, and other personnel employed by Design-Build Entity whether at the Site or in Design-Build Entity’s principal office or any branch office, material yard, or shop for general administration of the Work; e. Office Expenses. Expenses of Design-Build Entity’s principal and branch offices;
f. Capital Expenses. Any part of Design-Build Entity’s capital expenses, including interest on Design-Build Entity’s capital employed for the Additional Work and charges against Design-Build Entity for delinquent payments; g. Negligence. Costs due to the negligence of Design-Build Entity or any Subcontractor or Supplier, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, including without limitation the correction of Defective Work, disposal of materials or equipment wrongly supplied, and making good any damage to property;
h. Small Tools. Cost of small tools valued at less than $1,000 and that remain the property of Design-Build Entity;
i. Administrative Costs. Costs associated with the preparation of Change Orders (whether or not ultimately authorized), cost estimates, or the preparation or filing of Claims;
j. Anticipated Lost Profits. Expenses of Design-Build Entity associated with anticipated lost profits or lost revenues, lost income or earnings, lost interest on earnings, or unpaid retention;
284
A2-60
k. Home Office Overhead. Costs derived from the computation of a “home office overhead” rate by application of the Eichleay, Allegheny, burden fluctuation, or other similar methods;
l. Special Consultants and Attorneys. Costs of special consultants or attorneys, whether or not in the direct employ of Design-Build Entity, employed for services specifically related to the resolution of a Claim, dispute, or other matter arising out of or relating to the performance of the Additional Work. m. Other. Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the cost of any item not specifically and expressly included in the Contract Documents; including but not limited to: submittals, drawings, field drawings, shop drawings, including submissions of drawings; field inspection; general superintendence; computer services; reproduction services; salaries of project engineer, superintendent, timekeeper, storekeeper, and secretaries; janitorial services; small tools, incidentals and consumables; temporary on-site facilities (offices, telephones, high speed internet access, plumbing, electrical power, lighting; platforms, fencing, water); surveying; estimating; protection of work; handling and disposal fees; final cleanup; other incidental work; related warranties; insurance and bond premiums.
n. Compliance with Federal Cost Principles. If the Project is federally funded, any costs that are not allowable, reasonable and allocable to the Project, under generally accepted accounting principles and the applicable federal requirements.

9.4 Design-Build Entity’s Wavier of Further Relief.

A. DESIGN-BUILD ENTITY’S FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE AND TIMELY

NOTICE OF A CHANGE ORDER REQUEST OR TO COMPLY WITH ANY OTHER

REQUIREMENT OF THIS ARTICLE, SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY

DESIGN-BUILD ENTITY OF THE RIGHT TO AN ADJUSTMENT OF THE

CONTRACT PRICE AND/OR PROJECT COMPLETION DATE ON ACCOUNT OF

SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES OR A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO FURTHER

RECOURSE OR RECOVERY BY REASON OF OR RELATED TO SUCH CHANGE

BY MEANS OF THE CLAIMS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OR BY ANY

OTHER LEGAL PROCESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS.

B. Design-Build Entity recognizes and acknowledges that timely submission of a formal written notice of change/delay and Change Order Request, whether or not the circumstances of the change may be known to the City or available to the City through other means, is not a mere formality but is of crucial importance to the ability of the City to promptly identify, prioritize, evaluate and mitigate the potential effects of changes. Any form of informal notice, whether verbal or written (including, without limitation, statements in requests for information, statements in Submittals, statements at any job meeting or entries on monthly reports, daily logs or job meeting minutes), that does not strictly comply with the formal requirements of this Article, shall accordingly be insufficient.
285
A2-61

9.5 City Reservation of Rights.

A. By signing the Contract, the parties agree that City has the right to do any or all of the following, which are reasonable and within the contemplation of the parties:

1. To order changes in the Work, including without limitation: Changes to correct errors or omissions caused by City, if any, in the Contract Documents; Changes resulting from City’s decision to change the Work subsequent to execution of the Contract; and Changes due to unforeseen conditions.

2. To suspend Work on the Project or any part thereof.

3. To delay Work on the Project, including without limitation, delays resulting from the failure of City or City’s Representative to timely perform any Contract obligation and delays for City’s convenience.

ARTICLE 10 -TIME FOR COMPLETION; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

10.1 Progress and Completion.

A. The Design-Build Entity shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve full completion of the Work by the Project Completion Date. If City’s Representative determines and notifies the Design-Build Entity that the Design-Build Entity’s progress is such that the Design-Build Entity will not achieve full completion of the Work by the Project Completion Date, the Design-Build Entity shall immediately and at no additional cost to City, take all measures necessary, including working such overtime, additional shifts, Sundays, or holidays as may be required to ensure that the entire Project is completed within the Project Completion Date. Upon receipt of such notice from City’s representative, the Design-Build Entity shall immediately notify City’s Representative of all measures to be taken to ensure full completion of the Work within the Project Completion Date. The Design-Build Entity shall reimburse City for any extra costs or expenses (including the reasonable value of any services provided by City’s employees) incurred by City as the result of such measures.

10.2 Time for Completion.

A. The time for completion set forth in Contract shall commence on the mutually agreeable date of the Parties, which shall be agreed at or prior to the commencement of construction in accordance with the terms herein (including with respect to any extensions or accommodations with respect to blackout dates or blackout periods).

The Agency is under no obligation to consider early completion of the Project; and the Project Completion Date shall not be amended by the Agency’s receipt or acceptance of the Design-Build Entity’s proposed earlier completion date. Any difference in time between the Design-Build Entity’s early completion and the Project Completion Date shall be considered a part of the Project float. Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to compensation, and the Agency will not compensate Design-Build Entity, for delays which impact early completion. Design-Build Entity shall not, under any circumstances, receive additional compensation from the Agency (including but not limited to indirect, general, administrative or other forms of overhead costs) for the period between the time of earlier completion proposed by the Design-Build Entity and the Project Completion Date.
286
A2-62

10.3 Liquidated Damages.

A. If the Work is not completed as stated in the Contract Documents, it is understood that the City will suffer damage. In accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, being impractical and infeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that Design-Build Entity shall pay to the City as fixed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum stipulated in the Contract for each calendar day of delay until the Work is fully completed. Design-Build Entity and its surety shall be liable for any liquidated damages. Any money due or to become due the Design-Build Entity may be retained to cover liquidated damages.

10.4 Inclement Weather.

A. Design-Build Entity shall abide by the City’s determination of what constitutes inclement weather. Time extensions for inclement weather shall only be granted when the Work stopped during inclement weather is on the critical path of the Project schedule. Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to reverse liquidated damages for time extensions resulting from inclement weather.

10.5 Extension of Time.

A. Design-Build Entity’s entitlement to an extension of the Contract Time is limited to a City-caused extension of the critical path, reduced by the Design-Build Entity’s concurrent delays, and established by a proper time impact analysis. Design-Build Entity shall not be charged liquidated damages because of any delays in completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Design-Build Entity (or its Subcontractors or Suppliers). The Agency shall ascertain the facts and extent of delay and grant extension of time for completing the Work when, in its judgment, the facts justify such an extension. Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Times for delays within the control of Design-Build Entity. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Design-Build Entity.

10.6 Reverse Liquidated Damages.

A. Consistent with Public Contract Code Section 7102, Design-Build Entity will be compensated for damages incurred due to unreasonable delays to the critical path for which the City is responsible. The parties agree that determining Design-Build Entity’s exact delay damages are and will continue to be impracticable and extremely difficult.

As such, for each calendar day in excess of the Project Completion Date, the City shall pay to the Design-Build Entity the sum stipulated in the Contract per day. Such amount shall constitute the only payment allowed for any City-caused delays and shall necessarily include all overhead, all profits, all administrative costs, all bond costs, all labor, materials, equipment and rental costs and any other costs, expenses and fees incurred or sustained as a result of such delays. Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to reverse liquidated damages for any change in the Work in which DesignBuild Entity is compensated for overhead and profit through a Change Order resulting in a lump sum or allowed mark-up for the Additional Work. The amount of reverse liquidated damages shall be reduced by Design-Build Entity’s concurrent delays. 287
A2-63

10.7 Force Majeure and Permitting Delays
A. In accordance with Sections 10.5 and 10.6 above, the Design-Build Entity shall not be charged liquidated damages, and the Agency shall not be responsible, for any delays resulting from a Force Majeure Event. If a delay to the critical path results from a Force Majeure Event, the Design-Build Entity will be entitled to a time extension but will not receive an adjustment to the Contract Price or any other compensation. Such a non-compensable adjustment shall be Design-Build Entity’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delays. Further, the Design-Build Entity shall not be charged liquidated damages for delays resulting from unreasonable or unforeseen permitting or other review/approval processes from Southern California Edison, California Coastal Commissioner or other permitting agency. The Design-Build Entity shall notify the City as soon as reasonably practical upon knowledge or indication of a delay.

10.8 No Damages for Reasonable Delay.

A. The City’s liability to Design-Build Entity for delays for which the City is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. In no case shall the City be liable for any costs which are borne by the Design-Build Entity in the regular course of business, including, but not limited to, home office overhead and other ongoing costs. Damages caused by unreasonable City delay shall be based on actual costs only, no proportions or formulas shall be used to calculate any delay damages.

10.9 Procedure for Time Extensions and Delay Damages.

A. Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to any extension of time or any reverse liquidated damages unless Design-Build Entity properly notices the delay and adjustment to compensation and requests a Change Order in accordance with the Contract Documents. Design-Build Entity’s failure to timely and fully comply with the Change Order procedures in the Contract Documents shall not constitute a waiver of Design-Build Entity’s right to a time extension or reverse liquidated damages.

ARTICLE 11 -TEST AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL, OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK; NOTICE OF DEFECTS

11.1 Notice of Defective Work.

D. Design-Build Entity shall be responsible for arranging and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspections, tests, or approvals required for City and City’s Representative’s acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work; or acceptance of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to Design-Build Entity’s purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work. Such inspections, tests, or approvals shall be performed by organizations acceptable to City.

E. City will provide inspection during normal working hours from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Inspection before or after this time will be charged to the contractor as reimbursable inspection time. Inspections on weekends requires two days’ notice for review and approval. Upon written request and approval the 8.5 hour working day may be changed to other limits subject to City ordinance.

11.4 Uncovering Work.

A. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered by Design-Build Entity without written concurrence of City’s Representative, Design-Build Entity shall, if requested by City’s Representative, uncover such Work for observation.

B. Uncovering Work shall be at Design-Build Entity’s expense unless Design-Build Entity has given City’s Representative timely notice of Design-Build Entity’s intention to cover the same and City’s Representative has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.

C. If Design-Build Entity has given City’s Representative timely notice of Design-Build Entity’s intention to cover the work and City’s Representative has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice, and City’s Representative later considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by City’s Representative or inspected or tested by others, Design-Build Entity, at City’s Representative’s request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or testing as City’s Representative may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material, and equipment. 289
A2-65

1. If it is found that the uncovered Work is defective, Design-Build Entity shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price.

2. If the uncovered Work is not found to be defective, Design-Build Entity shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price and/or an extension of the Contract Times, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement, and reconstruction.

11.5 City May Stop The Work.

A. If the Work is defective, City may in its sole discretion order Design-Build Entity to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated.

All delays associated with the stop Work order will be the responsibility of the DesignBuild Entity.

11.6 Correction of Defective Work.

A. Promptly after receipt of written notice, the Design-Build Entity shall (1) correct Defective Work that becomes apparent during the progress of the Work on the Project and (2) replace, repair, or restore to City’s satisfaction any other parts of the Work on the Project and any other real or personal property which is damaged or destroyed as a result of Defective Work or the correction of Defective Work. The Design-Build Entity shall promptly commence such correction, replacement, repair, or restoration upon notice from City’s Representative or City, but in no case later than fourteen (14) Days after receipt of such notice; and the Design-Build Entity shall diligently and continuously prosecute such correction to completion. The Design-Build Entity shall bear all costs of such correction, replacement, repair, or restoration, and all losses resulting from such Defective Work, including additional testing, inspection, and compensation for City’s Representative’s services and expenses. The Design-Build Entity shall perform corrective Work on the Project at such times that are acceptable to City and in such a manner as to avoid, to the extent practicable, disruption to City’s activities. When correcting Defective, Design-Build Entity shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair City’s special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said Work.

B. If immediate correction of Defective Work is required for life safety or the protection of property and is performed by City or Separate Contractors, the Design-Build Entity shall pay to City all reasonable costs of correcting such Defective Work. The DesignBuild Entity shall replace, repair, or restore to City’s satisfaction any other parts of the Construction Work and any other real or personal property which is damaged or destroyed as a result of such Defective Work or the correction of such Defective Work. 290
A2-66
C. The Design-Build Entity shall remove from the Project site portions of the Construction Work and materials which are not in accordance with the Contract Documents and which are neither corrected by the Design-Build Entity nor accepted by City.

D. Enforcement of the Design-Build Entity’s express warranties and guarantees to repair contained in the Contract Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or remedies City may have under the Contract Documents or at law or in equity for Defective Work. Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations of the Design-Build Entity under the Contract Documents.

11.7 Acceptance of Defective Work.

A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of Defective Work, City prefers to accept it, City may do so. Design-Build Entity shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to City’s evaluation of and determination to accept such Defective Work and for the diminished value of the Work.

B. If any acceptance of Defective Work occurs prior to release of the Project retention, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work and all costs incurred by City.

C. If the Project retention is held in an escrow account as permitted by the Contract Documents, Design-Build Entity will promptly alert the escrow holder, in writing, of the amount of retention to be paid to City.

D. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after release of the Project retention, an appropriate amount will be paid by Design-Build Entity to City.

11.8 City May Correct Defective Work.

A. If Design-Build Entity fails within a reasonable time after written notice from City’s Representative to correct Defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by City, or if Design-Build Entity fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Design-Build Entity fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, City may, after seven (7) Days written notice to Design-Build Entity, correct, or remedy any such deficiency.

B. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, City may exclude Design-Build Entity from all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend Design-Build Entity’s services related thereto, take possession of Design-Build Entity’s tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which City has paid Design-Build Entity but which are stored elsewhere. Design-Build Entity shall allow City and City’s Representative, and the agents, employees, other contractors, and consultants of each of them, access to the Site to enable City to exercise the rights and remedies to correct the defective work.
291
A2-67
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) incurred or sustained by City correcting the defective work will be charged against Design-Build Entity, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of Defective Work.

D.

The schedule of values shall be prepared in the form, and supported by the data to substantiate its accuracy, required by the City. This schedule, unless objected to by the City, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Design-Build Entity’s Applications for Payment.

12.3 Review of Applications.

A.

Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by the City, will be performed by the City’s auditors acting in the sole interest of the City.

C. By recommending any such payment City’s Representative will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:

D. Neither City’s Representative’s review of Design-Build Entity’s Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor City’s Representative’s recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose responsibility on City’s Representative:

1. to supervise, direct, or control the Work;

2. for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto;

3. for Design-Build Entity’s failure to comply with Applicable Laws applicable to Design-Build Entity’s performance of the Work;

E. City’s Representative may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment due to subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests. City retains the right to revise or revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such extent as may be necessary in City’s opinion to protect City from loss.

12.4 Payment Becomes Due.

A. Thirty (30) Days after presentation of an undisputed and properly submitted Application for Payment to City’s Representative, and subject to City’s Representative’s recommendation, subject to the modifications above, the amount recommended will become due, and when due will be paid by City to Design-Build Entity.

12.5 Retention and Securities in Lieu of Retention.

A. Unless Project has been deemed substantially complex as noted in the Contract Documents, City will retain five percent (5%) of the amount invoiced in accordance with Applicable Laws.

B. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300, Design-Build Entity may substitute securities for any moneys withheld as a retention by City to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request and expense of Design-Build Entity, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in this state as the escrow agent, who shall then pay those moneys to Design-Build Entity. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, the securities shall be returned to Design-Build Entity.

1. Alternatively, Design-Build Entity may request, and City shall make payment of retentions earned directly to the escrow agent selected by the Design-Build Entity. At the expense of Design-Build Entity, Design-Build Entity may direct the investment of the payments into securities and Design-Build Entity shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for in Public Contract Code section 22300 for securities deposited by DesignBuild Entity. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, Design-Build Entity shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments received by the escrow agent when City authorizes the escrow agent to release these funds to the Design-Build Entity, pursuant to the terms of Public Contract Code section 22300.

A. Upon written notice from Design-Build Entity that the entire Work is complete, City’s Representative will promptly make a final inspection with City and Design-Build Entity and will notify Design-Build Entity in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective.

13.1 City May Suspend Work.

A. City may, at its sole option, decide to suspend at any time the performance of all or any portion of the Work by notice in writing to Design-Build Entity. Such notice of suspension of Work will designate the amount and type of plant, labor, and equipment to be committed to the Project during the period of suspension. Design-Build Entity shall use its best efforts to utilize its plant, labor, and equipment in such a manner as to minimize costs associated with suspension.

B. Upon receipt of any such notice, Design-Build Entity shall, unless the notice requires otherwise:

A. In addition to its right to terminate this Contract for default, City may terminate the Contract, in whole or in part, at any time upon seven (7) Days written notice to DesignBuild Entity. The Notice of Termination shall specify that the termination is for the 298
A2-74
convenience of City, the extent of termination, and the effective date of such termination (“Effective Date of Termination”).

Reasonable cost may not exceed the applicable percentage completion values derived from the progress schedule and the schedule of values. Deductions shall be made for cost of materials to be retained by the Design-Build Entity, cost of Work defectively performed, amounts realized by sale of materials, and for other appropriate credits or offsets against cost of Work as allowed by the Contract Documents.

2. When, in City’s opinion, the cost of any item of Work is excessively high due to costs incurred to remedy or replace defective or rejected Work, reasonable cost to be allowed will be the estimated reasonable cost of performing the Work 299

Such nonrecoverable costs include, but are not limited to, the cost of or anticipated profits on Work not performed as of the date of termination, post-termination employee salaries, unreasonable post-termination administrative expenses, post-termination overhead or unabsorbed overhead, surety costs of any type, costs of preparing and submitting the Design-Build Entity’s termination claim, attorney fees of any type, and all other costs relating to prosecution of a claim or lawsuit.

E. City shall have no obligation to pay the Design-Build Entity under this Article unless and until the Design-Build Entity provides City with updated and acceptable asbuilts and Record Documents for Work completed prior to termination as required by the Contract Documents.

F. In arriving at the amount due the Design-Build Entity under this clause there shall be deducted in whole, or in the appropriate part(s) if the termination is partial:

A2-76
City may immediately order Design-Build Entity to cease Work until such safety or liability issues are addressed to the satisfaction of City or the Contract is terminated.

I. If City terminates Design-Build Entity for cause, and if it is later determined that the termination was wrongful, such default termination shall automatically be converted to and treated as a termination for convenience. In such event, DesignBuild Entity shall be entitled to receive only the amounts payable under this section, and Design-Build Entity specifically waives any claim for any other amounts or damages, including, but not limited to, any claim for consequential damages or lost profits.

The Parties, prior to the commencement of construction, shall agree upon a construction commencement date and the number of calendar days from commencement of construction that the Work shall be completed (“Project Completion Date”), provided that (i) the Project Completion Date shall be 325
5 extended on a day-for-day basis for delays outside of DBE’s control (including but not limited to a Force Majeure Event, City-caused delay or delay by Southern California Edison), (ii) DBE shall notify City as soon as reasonably practicable after DBE becomes aware of any such delay and (iii) if, within 5 Days of receipt of such notice from DBE, City communicates its reasonable objection to such extension (or a portion of such extension), the parties shall work in good faith to come to a mutually agreeable extension period with respect to such delay. To the extent that the Project Completion Date would have occurred but for the execution of an ongoing software services agreement, the Project Completion Date shall be deemed to have occurred for all purposes hereunder other than with respect to DBE’s obligation to commission the EV charging equipment and no liquidated damages shall be charged to, or payable by, DBE.

The DBE agrees that it shall be liable to the City for liquidated damages in an amount of two hundred fifty Dollars ($250) per day for each and every calendar day beyond the Project Completion Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Contract) that completion of the Project has not been achieved at the Project Site. If not completed by the Project Completion Date, it is understood that the City will suffer damage, and that it is and will be difficult and/or impossible to ascertain and determine the actual damage which the City will sustain in the event of and by reason of the DBE’s failure to complete the work, and therefore the DBE shall pay to the City the stipulated sum as fixed and liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

Any money due or to become due the DBE may be retained to cover liquidated damages. DBE shall not be responsible for any delays caused by (a) a Force Majeure Event, (b) delays in the City’s permitting process or any other delays caused by the City that are not the result of acts or omissions of DBE, or (c) Southern California Edison or others outside of DBE’s control.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall aggregated liquidated damages payable or paid to the City hereunder exceed an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the Contract Price.

In compliance with the provisions of California Public Contract Code section 7102, the DBE will be compensated for damages incurred due to delays in completing the Work by the Project Completion Date due solely to the fault of the City, where such delay to the critical path is not contemplated by the parties, and such delay is not the result of Additional Work. The DBE shall be entitled to the appropriate time extension and to payment of liquidated damages in an amount of DBE’s reasonable and documented costs resulting from such City caused delay. Such amount shall constitute the only payment allowed and shall necessarily include all overhead (direct or indirect), all profit, all administrative costs, all bond costs, all labor, materials, equipment and rental costs, and any other costs, expenses and fees incurred or sustained as a result of such delay. The amount of reverse liquidated damages shall be reduced by DBE’s concurrent delays.

The DBE expressly agrees to be limited solely to the liquidated damages for all such delays as defined in this Article.

5. Approval of Design; Commencement of Construction.
(a) The Scope of Work shall consist of two phases: the Construction Document Phase and the Construction Phase. The City shall issue a Notice to Proceed for each Phase. (b) The DBE shall commence the Construction Document Phase after receipt of City’s Notice to Proceed and complete the Construction Document Phase work within 140 business days of the Notice to Proceed date. The design shall consist of preparation of the Construction Documents as set forth in the General Conditions. The Bridging Documents may be utilized to assist in scoping the Project, but responsibility for the design shall rest solely with the DBE.
326
6 (c) DBE shall submit the following to City for approval:
(i) Schematic Design;
(ii) 50% Construction Documents; and
(iii) 100% Construction Documents.
(d) The City’s review and approval of the design shall not relieve the DBE from its responsibilities under the Contract. Such review shall not be deemed an approval or waiver by the City of any deviation from, or of the DBE's failure to comply with, any provision or requirement of the Contract Documents, unless such deviation or failure has been identified as such in writing in the Document submitted by the DBE and approved by the City. The City Representative, or a City Engineer designated to review and approve Construction Documents, shall be authorized to approve the Construction Documents and any amendments or changes to the design.
(e) The Contract Schedule shall be developed jointly by the Parties and indicate the time for the City to review the proposed Construction Documents and shall provide a reasonable time for review of same, not less than 2 days. DBE shall not be entitled to damages, liquidated or otherwise, for any delays during the Construction Document Phase. (f) DBE shall not commence construction until the City approves the completed Construction Documents and issues a Notice to Proceed with Construction. DBE may request a Notice to Proceed with Construction prior to completion of the 100% Construction Documents, and City may issue same, provided that DBE shall not construct any portion of the Project until the design of such portion has been approved. The Project Completion Date shall run from the Notice to Proceed with Construction even if issued prior to completion of the 100% Construction Documents. DBE shall not commence construction unless the Contract Price has been determined.

Section 1. Project Understanding
Project Scope and Key Requirements
PowerFlex understands that the City of Laguna Beach is seeking a qualified partner to design, engineer, procure, install, commission and operate Level 2 and DCFC electric vehicle (EV) chargers across city-owned parking lots. Specifically, the City must install 47 electric vehicle chargers at City Hall and the Corp Yard to support the electrification of 122 City vehicles by 2030. 16 chargers will be installed at the gated parking lot of City Hall, while 31 chargers should be deployed at the Corp Yard. The City has applied for Southern California Edison's (SCE) Charge Ready Transport (CRT) program and is awaiting approval to proceed with contracting.

To meet the requirements of the SCE CRT Program, the project at the City Hall is divided into two separate projects. One project includes the chargers designated for the Police Department, specifically for patrol vehicles, while the second project includes the chargers for non-police or non-patrol vehicles.

The project also includes the installation of infrastructure that can support future expansion, such as additional EVSE, conduit runs, and panel capacity — consistent with best practices for long-term planning.

In accordance with the City’s stated goals and technical requirements, PowerFlex will:

Conduct a detailed site evaluation and feasibility study Submit plans and specifications for permitting
Deliver a turnkey EVSE deployment, including concrete work, trenching, panel upgrades (if needed), signage, striping, and commissioning
Ensure compliance with ADA, CALGreen, NEC, CPUC rules, and SCE interconnection and Charge Ready Transport requirements
Integrate the stations into a networked management platform that enables real-time monitoring and user access
PowerFlex also recognizes the importance of minimizing visual and physical disruption in Laguna Beach’s sensitive coastal environment and community spaces and will work collaboratively to ensure aesthetic and environmental considerations are part of the design from day one.

Understanding of Electrical Infrastructure
EVSE deployment depends on a range of electrical infrastructure considerations, including:

Available panel capacity and location of main switchgear Conduit routing feasibility, especially in existing parking lots with limited access points Utility service type (single vs. three-phase) and proximity to transformer Load calculations and demand management needs
PowerFlex’s in-house electrical engineers will conduct a thorough load analysis to determine available capacity at each proposed site and identify whether panel upgrades or new service drops are required. If infrastructure is constrained, PowerFlex X enables dynamic load sharing across chargers. This can eliminate or defer costly upgrades, improve utilization, and reduce operational costs — all while aligning with NEC 625.42 and SCE standards.
336
PowerFlex – City of Laguna Beach EVSE Proposal |4
Challenges and Proposed Solutions
PowerFlex recognizes that EVSE deployment in a coastal, community-focused city like Laguna Beach presents a unique set of technical and logistical challenges. The PowerFlex team brings deep experience navigating these complexities and applies proven solutions to ensure a streamlined, cost-effective installation. One common challenge is limited electrical capacity at existing sites. To address this, PowerFlex begins each project with a comprehensive load analysis to assess available panel space and service constraints. When infrastructure is tight, PowerFlex’s proprietary adaptive load management software, PowerFlex X, intelligently balances charging loads across all ports. This allows the City to support more EV chargers without triggering costly upgrades to panels or transformers.

Another frequent issue is trenching and conduit routing in existing parking lots or paved areas. These conditions can drive up costs or raise concerns about visual or environmental impact. PowerFlex mitigates this by optimizing charger placement to reduce trenching distances and, when appropriate, utilizing horizontal boring or surface-mounted raceways to limit disruption.

Permitting and agency coordination can also create project delays if not proactively managed. PowerFlex’s dedicated permitting team engages early with the City’s Planning, Building, and Public Works departments to clarify requirements and streamline submittals. PowerFlex prepares full code-compliant design packages and maintain consistent communication throughout the review and inspection process to avoid delays.

Ensuring ADA accessibility is another essential consideration. PowerFlex’s design team incorporates CBCand Title 24-compliant layouts into every site plan, including van-accessible EV charging spaces and properly sloped access paths. PowerFlex has successfully delivered numerous public-sector projects that meet or exceed California accessibility standards.

Finally, PowerFlex recognizes the importance of maintaining Laguna Beach’s community aesthetics and visual character. As part of PowerFlex’s design process, PowerFlex will work with City staff to select lowprofile equipment and provide visual renderings where appropriate. This ensures the installation aligns with both community expectations and long-term sustainability goals.

PowerFlex Energy Asset Co-Optimization: Automated co-optimization of onsite battery storage, solar, and EV Charging infrastructure minimizes up front and operational energy costs while improving sustainability goals. PowerFlex's EMS co-optimizes EV charging and stationary storage assets with forecasted solar generation and building load to further reduce energy and demand costs and expand charging capacity beyond the site interconnect. 356
PowerFlex – City of Laguna Beach EVSE Proposal |24
Section 5. Project Schedule
PowerFlex will collaborate with NV5, Baker Electric, and the City of Laguna Beach to develop a projectspecific milestone schedule and timeline, inclusive of a Critical Path Method upon award. The use of a critical path method for project schedule development with all stakeholders (City, utility, design partners, AHJ, etc.) when properly resourced and then monitored over the life of the project will allow for timeline optimization and risk avoidance.

An example project schedule specific to the three City projects is below. Please note this is still illustrative and to be complete will require significant coordination with the City and all stakeholders.

Timeline Optimization Strategies
PowerFlex works closely to build strategic relationships with Tier 1 upstream suppliers for EV charging equipment, such as ABB, LiteOn, Tritium, BTC, Zerova, Autel, Power Electronics, Webasto and Joint Tech.

Similarly, Powerflex leverages its volume of Solar and Storage projects to secure supply agreements with Tier 1 Electrical providers for switchgear and transformers, such as SAI, Greybar, and Maddox. For example, PowerFlex has a bulk order supply agreement for Switchgear with SAI to ensure availability and reduce lead times. By working closely with Tier 1 Suppliers, PowerFlex ensures not only certainty in pricing and delivery timelines, but also commitments to quality, reliability, and warranty services for innovative products and solutions. PowerFlex maintains key supplier relationships by communicating and consistently maintaining product assurance for advantages in:

City and the Design-Build Entity acknowledge that the Contract Documents may differ in some respect(s) from the other documents included in the RFP upon which the Design-Build Entity based its Proposal. Prior to the commencement of construction on the Project, the parties shall confirm, in writing, the final form of the Contract Documents that are to be utilized. Specifically, once approved by City, the Construction Documents become a part of the Contract Documents and define the entire scope of work, so long as such documents incorporate all minimum requirements of the Bridging Documents. The Design-Build Entity shall certify that the Construction Documents are in full compliance with the Contract Documents, except as noted.

B. Organization of the Performance Specifications into various subdivisions and the arrangement of the Drawings shall not control the Design-Build Entity in dividing portions of the Work necessary for the Project among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.

C. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, technical words and abbreviations contained in the Contract Documents are used in accordance with commonly understood design professional and construction industry meanings; nontechnical words and abbreviations are used in accordance with their commonly understood meanings.

D. The Contract Documents may omit modifying words such as “all” and “any,” and articles such as “the” and “an,” but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement. The use of the word “including,” when following any general statement, shall not be construed to limit such statement to specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non limiting language (such as “without limitation,” “but not limited to,” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all 400
A2-12
other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement.

E. Whenever the context so requires, the use of the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa. Each gender shall be deemed to include any other gender, and each shall include a corporation, partnership, trust, or other legal entity, whenever the context so requires. The captions and headings of the various subdivisions of the Contract Documents are intended only for reference and convenience and in no way define, limit, or prescribe the scope or intent of the Contract Documents or any subdivision thereof.

F. Each and every provision of law required by law to be inserted in the Contract Documents shall be deemed to be inserted herein, and the Contract Documents shall be read and enforced as though it were included herein, and if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not correctly inserted, then upon application of either party the Contract shall be amended in writing to make such insertion or correction.

G. Before commencing any Work on the Project, the Design-Build Entity shall check and review the Contract Documents, including the Construction Documents, for conformance and compliance with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities and public utilities affecting the construction and operation of the physical plant of the Project, all quasi-governmental and other regulations affecting the construction and operation of the physical plant of the Project, and other special requirements, if any, designated in the Contract. In the event the Design-Build Entity observes any violation of any law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, or inconsistency with any such restrictions or special requirements of the Contract, the Design-Build Entity shall immediately notify City’s Representative in writing of the same and shall cause to be corrected any such violation or inconsistency in the manner provided hereunder. The Design-Build Entity shall be solely liable for any such violation, inconsistency or special requirement, if Design-Build Entity fails to conduct such review or notification to City.

H. Before commencing any Work on the Project, the Design-Build Entity shall carefully examine all Performance Specifications, the Contract, the Contract Documents and other information given to the Design-Build Entity as to Project requirements. The Design-Build Entity shall immediately notify City’s Representative of any perceived or alleged error, inconsistency, ambiguity, or lack of detail or explanation in such documents in writing. Neither the Design-Build Entity nor any Subcontractor shall take advantage of any apparent error or omission which may be found in the Performance Specifications, the Contract, the Contract Documents or other information given to Design-Build Entity. If the Design-Build Entity or its Subcontractors, material or equipment suppliers, or any of their officers, agents, and employees performs, permits, or causes the performance of any Work under the Contract, which it knows or should have known to be in error, inconsistent, or ambiguous, or not sufficiently detailed or explained, the Design-Build Entity shall bear any and all costs arising therefrom including, without limitation, the cost of correction thereof without increase or adjustment to the Contract Price or the Project Completion Date. In no case shall any Subcontractor proceed with Work if uncertain without the Design-Build Entity’s written direction and/or approval.

Design-Build Entity and any Subcontractor shall not: have or acquire any title to or Ownership rights in any of the Construction Documents or other documents (or copies of any thereof) prepared by or bearing the seal of the A/E or its consultants, including electronic media editions; or reuse of any such Construction Documents, other documents, or copies thereof on extensions of the Project or any other project without written consent of City and A/E and specific written verification or adaptation by the A/E. The prohibitions of this Article will survive final payment, or termination of the Contract. Nothing herein shall preclude Design-Build Entity from retaining copies of the Contract Documents for record purposes.

3.7 Electronic Data.

A. The data furnished by City or City’s Representative to Design-Build Entity, or by Design-Build Entity to City or City’s Representative, that may be relied upon are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard copies). Files in electronic media format of text, data, graphics, or other types are furnished only for the convenience of the receiving party. Any conclusion or information obtained or derived from such electronic files will be at the user’s sole risk. If there is a discrepancy between the electronic files and the hard copies, the hard copies govern.

B. Because data stored in electronic media format can deteriorate or be modified inadvertently or otherwise without authorization of the data’s creator, the party receiving electronic files agrees that it will perform acceptance tests or procedures within sixty (60) Days, after which the receiving party shall be deemed to have accepted the data thus transferred. Any errors detected within the 60-Day acceptance period will be corrected by the transferring party.

C. When transferring documents in electronic media format, the transferring party makes no representations as to long term compatibility, usability, or readability of documents resulting from the use of software application packages, operating systems, or computer hardware differing from those used by the data’s creator.

3.8 Ownership and Use of Construction Documents.

A. The Construction Documents, and all copies thereof, furnished to, or provided by, the Design-Build Entity are the property of City. City and the Design-Build Entity explicitly agree that all materials and documents developed in the performance of this Contract are the property of City pursuant to the requirements of City. City shall have unlimited rights, for the benefit of City, in all drawings, designs, technical specifications, notes and any other documentation and other Work developed in the performance of this Contract for the Project, including the right to re-use details of the Design on any other City Work at no additional cost to City. The Design-Build Entity agrees to, and hereby does, grant to City a royalty free license to all such data that the Design-Build Entity may cover by copyright and to all designs as to which the Design-Build Entity may assert any right or establish any claim to under the patent or copyright laws. The Design-Build Entity, for a period up to five (5) years from the date of Completion of the Project, agrees to furnish and to provide access to the originals or copies of all such materials immediately upon the written request of City. Any use or reuse by City of the 402
A2-14
Construction Documents on any project other than this Project without employing the services of the Design-Build Entity shall be at City’s own risk with respect to third parties. If City uses or re-uses the Construction Documents on any project other than this Project, it shall remove the A/E’s seal from the Construction Documents and hold harmless Design-Build Entity, A/E, and their officers, directors, agents and employees from claims arising out of the use or re-use of the Construction Documents on such other project. Design-Build Entity shall not be responsible or liable for any revisions to the Construction Documents made by any party other than the Design-Build Entity, a party for which the Design-Build Entity is legally responsible or liable, or anyone approved by the Design-Build Entity.

3.9 Administration of the Contract by City’s Representative.

A. During the term of this Design-Build Contract, City’s Representative shall have the right to review the Design-Build Entity’s Work at such intervals as deemed appropriate by City’s Representative. However, no actions taken during such review or site visit by City’s Representative shall relieve the Design-Build Entity of any of its obligations of single point responsibility for the design and construction of this Project nor form the basis for a Claim if such actions extend beyond the Project Completion Date.

B. City’s Representative will not have control over, will not be in charge of, and will not be responsible for design or construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work on the Project, since these are solely the Design-Build Entity’s responsibility.

C. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or when direct communications have been specifically authorized, City and the Design-Build Entity shall communicate through City’s Representative. Communications by the DesignBuild Entity with City’s consultants and City’s Representative’s consultants shall be through City’s Representative. Communications by City and City’s Representative with Subcontractors will be through the Design-Build Entity. Communications by the Design-Build Entity and Subcontractors with Separate Contractors shall be through City’s Representative. The Design-Build Entity shall not rely on oral or other nonwritten communications.

D. Based on City’s Representative’s Project site visits, review of the Work, and evaluations of the Design-Build Entity’s Applications for Payment, City’s Representative will recommend amounts, if any, due the Design-Build Entity and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.

E. City’s Representative will have the authority to reject Work on the Project, or any portion thereof, which does not conform to the Contract Documents. City’s Representative will have the authority to stop Work on the Project, or any portion thereof. Whenever City’s Representative considers it necessary, or advisable, for implementation of the intent of the Contract Documents, City’s Representative will have the authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work on the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed, or completed. However, no authority of City’s Representative conferred by the Contract Documents nor any decision made in good faith either to exercise, or to not exercise such authority, will give rise to a duty or responsibility of City or City’s 403
A2-15
Representative to the Design-Build Entity, or any person or entity claiming under, or through, the Design-Build Entity.

F. City’s Representative will have the authority to conduct inspections in connection with beneficial occupancy and to determine the dates of Completion; will receive for review and approval any records, written warranties, and related documents required by the Contract Documents and assembled by the Design-Build Entity; and will issue a final Certificate for Payment upon the Design-Build Entity’s compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

G. City’s Representative will be, in the first instance, the interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents and the judge of performance thereunder by the DesignBuild Entity. Should the Design-Build Entity discover any conflicts, omissions, or errors in the Construction Documents or the Contract Documents; have any questions about the interpretation or clarification of the Contract Documents; question whether Work is within the scope of the Contract Documents; then, before proceeding with the Work affected, the Design-Build Entity shall notify City’s Representative in writing and request interpretation, or clarification. City’s Representative’s response to questions and requests for interpretations, clarifications, instructions, or decisions will be made with reasonable promptness. Should the Design-Build Entity proceed with the Work affected before receipt of a response from City’s Representative, any portion of the Work on the Project which is not done in accordance with City’s Representative’s interpretations, clarifications, instructions, or decisions shall be removed or replaced and the Design-Build Entity shall be responsible for all resultant losses.

H. City may at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to or approval of the Design-Build Entity, replace City’s Representative with a new City Representative.

Upon receipt of notice from City informing the Design-Build Entity of such replacement and identifying the new City’s Representative, the Design-Build Entity shall recognize such person or firm as City’s Representative for all purposes under the Contract Documents.
