Item No. 4.5
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: July 8, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Assistant City Manager
Issue: Authority to Advertise Laguna Hills Community Center Electrical Improvements Project, CIP 520
Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Laguna Hills Community Center Electrical Improvements Project, CIP No. 520; 2.

Authorize the advertisement for bids for the Laguna Hills Community Center Electrical Improvements Project, CIP No. 520; 3. Authorize the City Engineer to make minor edits to the plans and specifications as necessary; and 4. Find that environmental review is not required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15301 as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption - “Existing Facilities.”
Background:

On February 14, 2024, the Events, Communication, and Beautification Committee (ECBC) reviewed security lighting at the Laguna Hills Community Center, and specifically made a request to install side-throw lighting along the existing concrete walkway from the intersection of Community Center Drive/front parking lot entrances to Dinosaur Park and the baseball field entrance, up-lighting at the base of the slopes in front of the garden walls surrounding the picnic area, and up-lighting at the gazebo. In March 2024, Public Works began the process of putting together a scope of work for electrical improvements at the Laguna Hills Community Center, which included these improvements. Based upon input from City staff, it was determined by the Public Works Director that additional improvements at the Laguna Hills Community Center should include replacing and rehabilitating rusty electrical switchgear and the electrical equipment cabinet in the rear parking lot of the Community Center, fixing up to 89 inground "Christy" junction and electrical outlet boxes which have overheated and caught

Page 57 of 229 ends

Item No. 4.5
fire in the past, and installing new conduit to hardwire a few existing security cameras which were not reliably connecting via WiFi.

With the scope of work defined, in April 2024, Public Works contacted Foster Design Group Consulting Engineers, Inc. (FDG) to inquire about the cost and needed Community Center record drawings necessary to develop plans and specifications for bidding this work. FDG is the preferred electrical, mechanical, and plumbing design subconsultant for Hattox Design Group, which has provided architectural design services to the City in the past for improvements at the Civic Center. During the May 14, 2024, City Council meeting, Public Works informally reported on the progress of this project after City Council members inquired about available FY 2023-2025 capital improvement program biennial budget funds for this work. On May 22, 2024, City staff entered into a Professional Services Agreement with FDG to develop biddable construction plans and specifications for this project. One of the challenges encountered with this project was the lack of computer-aided drafting plans available from which to recreate site plans as the base sheet for the construction plans. In July 2024, FDG contacted City staff to determine lighting fixture types, spacing, and features desired to be incorporated into the plans. After informal consultation with ECBC members, ECBC members directed staff to proceed with choosing specific lighting fixtures. In September 2024, side-throw lighting and up-lighting fixtures were chosen, which can be found attached to Appendix B of the proposed bid documents, included with this agenda report. Throughout the period of October 2024 through April 2025, FDG worked to develop construction plans and specifications. Part of the process involved FDG retaining a licensed electrician familiar with the Community Center to review the existing electrical system, and to further identify specific replacements, repairs, and conduit paths needed to successfully design construction plans and develop specifications. In February 2025, City staff reviewed photometric plans showing how the proposed side-throw lighting fixtures would cast light on the walkway, and FDG reviewed San Diego Gas & Electric bills to verify the typical summer demand loads on the existing switchgear were within current California Electrical Code requirements. In April 2025, draft construction plans and specifications were delivered to City staff for review. Additional changes were made to the plans to reflect current conditions, and in June 2025, City staff developed the companion bid documents.

Now, this project is being brought before City Council for authority to advertise for bidding. The bid documents for the subject project, including the plans, specifications, contract and bid proposal form, have been prepared and are included as an attachment to this report. It is recommended that the City Council approve the plans and specifications for this project, approve the advertisement for bids, authorize the City Engineer to make minor edits to the plans and specifications as necessary; and find the

Item No. 4.5
project not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CEQA FINDINGS:

The proposed project is not subject environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15301 as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption - “Existing Facilities.” Fiscal Impact:

The construction cost estimate for the project is $300,000. With the approval of the FY 2025-2027 biennial capital improvement program budget on June 10, 2025, the current available unencumbered balance in CIP No. 520, Community Center Electrical Upgrades is $300,000. Therefore, at this time, no budget appropriation is necessary to accommodate this project.

7. NONRESPONSIVE PROPOSALS

No oral, telegraphic, or telephonic proposal, modification, or withdrawal will be considered.

8. TAXES

14. PREVAILING WAGE RATES
The wage rates applicable to this Project are the State of California Department of Industrial Relations prevailing rates of per diem wages. In accordance with the provisions of Sections 1773.2 of the California Labor Code, copies of the general prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined by the State Director of Industrial Relations are available at City Hall, which shall be made available to any interested party upon request, or on the Internet at the State Department of Industrial Relations website (www.dir.ca.gov) under Statistics and Research.

It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor to whom the Contract is awarded and upon any subcontractor to pay not less than said specified rates to all workers employed by them in the execution of the Contract. A copy of said rates shall be posted at each job site during the course of construction. The Contractor and all subcontractors shall comply with all provisions of the California Labor Code relating to prevailing wage rates, including Sections 1770–1781.

This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. The Department of Industrial Relations shall monitor and enforce compliance with applicable prevailing wage requirements for this Agreement. The reporting requirements may be found at https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/Contractors.html. The Contractor is responsible for complying with all requirements of the Department of Industrial Relations, including filing electronic payroll reports.

A contractor or subcontractor will not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of Labor Code Section 1771.1 for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. Contractor and its subcontractors shall maintain active registration with the Department of Industrial Relations for the duration of the Project.

A contractor or subcontractor will not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to Section 6109 of the public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work on a public works project if the contractor or subcontractor is ineligible to perform work pursuant to Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code.

The CITY will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor of any wage rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate or the Federal Minimum Wage Rate (whichever is greater) as set forth in the contract. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the bidder in determining his bid, and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the CITY on the Contract.

The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with Section 1777.6 of the Labor Code which stipulates that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices on any public works on any basis listed in Government Code Section

Page 68 of 229 ends

1774061.2 IB-5 LH 6909-01/2023
12940(a), as those bases are defined in Government Code Sections 12926 and 12926.1, except as provided in Labor Code Section 3077 and Government Code Section 12940.

15. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CERTIFICATE
Section 3700 of the Labor Code requires that every employer shall secure the payment compensation by either being insured against liability to pay compensation with one or more insurers or by securing a certificate of consent to self-insure from the State Director of Industrial Relations.

In accordance with this section and with Section 1861 of the Labor Code, the Contractor shall sign a Compensation Insurance Certificate which is included with the Contract Agreement, and submit same to CITY along with the other required Contract Documents, prior to performing any work. Reimbursement for this requirement shall be considered as included in the various items of work.

16. CLAYTON ACT AND CARTWRIGHT ACT
In accordance with Section 7103.5 of the Public Contract Code, in entering into a public works contract or a subcontract to supply goods, services or materials pursuant to a public works contract, the Contractor or subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to CITY all rights, and interest in and all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C.

Sec. 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment to the Contractor, without further acknowledgment by the parties.

17. SUBLETTING AND SUBCONTRACTING.

Pursuant to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (commencing with Section 4100 of the Public Contract Code), bidders are required to list in their proposal the name business address, California contractor license number, and public works contractor registration number issued pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render services in or about the construction of the work or improvement or a subcontractor who specially fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the Plans and Specifications in excess of 1/2 of 1% of this prime Contractor's total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater. If a subcontractor’s California contractor license number or public works contractor registration number are submitted incorrectly in the bid, it will not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive if the corrected subcontractor’s California contractor license number is submitted to CITY within 24 hours after the bid opening If the bidder fails to list a subcontractor for a portion of work or if the bidder lists more than one subcontractor of the same portion of work in excess of 1/2 of 1% of the total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater, the bidder agrees that it is fully qualified to perform that portion of work itself, and that the bidder shall perform that portion of work itself. If after award of the contract, the bidder actually subcontracts that portion of work, except as provided in Public Contract Code Section 4107 or 4109, the bidder shall be subject to the penalties listed in

Page 69 of 229 ends

1774061.2 IB-6 LH 6909-01/2023
Section 4111 of the Public Contract Code. It is the CITY's intent for the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act to apply to all phases of the work. /

18. SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
In conformance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, which is incorporated herein by this reference, the Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by the CITY to ensure performance under the Contract or, in the alternative, may request payment of retention earned directly to an escrow agent.

At the request and expense of the Contractor, the Contractor has the option to deposit securities, which have been approved by the CITY, with a State or Federally chartered bank as the escrow agent or require the City to deposit 5% of each progress payment with the escrow agent. Said securities will be used as a substitute for retention earnings required to be withheld by the CITY, pursuant to the construction contract. Said securities shall have no obligation to any other construction contract for substitution of securities in lieu of retention.

When the Contractor deposits the CITY approved securities with the escrow agent, the escrow agent shall notify the CITY within 10 calendar days of the deposit. Said securities shall be evaluated quarterly by the escrow agent to verify the current market value. If the current market value of said securities falls below the required amount, the escrow agent shall notify the Contractor and require additional securities and/or cash to be submitted for CITY approval, and be held in the escrow account to meet the Contractor's obligations. The escrow agent shall hold said securities until such time as the escrow agent receives written notification from the CITY that the Contractor has satisfactorily completed his Contract obligations.

The type of securities deposited and the method of release shall be approved by the City Attorney's office.

If the Contractor chooses not to exercise its rights under Public Contract Code Section 22300, the full five percent (5%) retention will be deducted from all payments. The final retention will be authorized for payment thirty-five (35) days after the date of recordation of the Notice of Completion, if no stop notices have been filed. The CITY may withhold from release of the final retention amounts authorized under Public Contracts Code Section 7107 and/or 125% of amounts identified in any Stop Notices received by the CITY.

19. BID DOCUMENT/PROPOSAL EDITS
No Proposer shall modify, edit, interlineate or change any portion of the Bid Proposal pages without the Agency’s written issuance of a formal Addenda. Any Proposer that modifies, edits, interlineates or changes the Bid Proposal sheets with unauthorized changes shall be deemed to be a non-responsive Bidder.

f) Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1771.1, Contractor and any subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the California Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the DIR and qualified to perform public work pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1725.2. It is not a violation of California Labor Code Section 1771.1 for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by California Business and Professions Code Section 7029.1 or by California Public Contract Code Section 10164 or 20103.5, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. Contractor shall not perform any work under this Agreement with any subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on the public works project pursuant to Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the California Labor Code.

Apprentices
Section 1777.5 requires the Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to an applicable apprenticeship committee that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Contract.

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

Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.

RESOLUTION OF CONSTRUCTION CLAIMS
California Public Contract Code (PCC) section 9204 as adopted by Assembly Bill 626 prescribes a process to present, confer, and mediate all construction claims relating to the City’s public works project.

1774061.2 GS-6 LH 6909-01/2023
“Public works project” means the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or another public improvement of any kind. “Claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested for (A) a time extension, including, without limitation for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by a public entity under a contract for a public works project (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the contract for a public works project and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the claimant is not otherwise entitled, or the amount the payment of which is disputed by the local agency. (PCC 9204(c)(1)) For any claim subject to this article, PCC section 9204 requires the following:
a) The claim shall be submitted by the Contractor in writing, sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested and must include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Nothing in this subdivision is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided by contract for the filing of claims. However, upon receipt of a claim, the City, and the Contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided by statute.
b) For claims of all amounts, the City shall respond within 45 days of receipt of the claim, and provide the claimant a written statement identifying which portion of the claim is disputed and which portion of the claim is undisputed. If the City requires approval from the City Council, and the City Council does not meet within the 45-day period to respond, the City shall have up to three days to issue its response following the City Council meeting. c) For all portions of a claim determined to be undisputed, the City must process payment to the claimant within 60 days of issuing the City’s written determination. d) If the claimant disputes the City’s response, or if the City fails to respond within the time limits provided, the claimant may demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. The demand must be sent in writing by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Upon receipt of a demand, the City must schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the disputed claim. e) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the claimant an addition written statement identifying the portion of the claim that is undisputed and the portion that remains in dispute.
f) For all portions of a claim determined to be undisputed, the City must process payment to the claimant within 60 days of issuing the City’s written determination. g) Any remaining undisputed portion of the claim, as identified by the Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation in which the parties share the cost evenly. The City and the claimant shall mutually agree on a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall jointly select a qualified, neutral third party to mediate the remaining undisputed claim. Each party shall bear the respective costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside of PCC section 9204.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the Contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under PCC Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

Page 99 of 229 ends

1774061.2 GS-7 LH 6909-01/2023
PCC Section 9204 does not preclude the City from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute.

Should the City fail to respond to a claim, or fail to issue written statements as required, the Contractor’s claim is deemed denied. A claim denied by reason of the City’s failure to respond shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant.

Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by PCC 9204 shall bear interest at seven percent per annum.

NOTICE OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS
In accordance with PCC Section 9201, the City will provide timely notification to Contractor of the receipt of any third-party claim relating to the Agreement. The Contractor agrees to reimburse the City for its reasonable costs incurred in providing such notice.

CLAYTON ACT AND CARTWRIGHT ACT
In accordance with Section 7103.5 of the Public Contract Code, in entering into a public works contract or a subcontract to supply goods, services or materials pursuant to a public works contract, the contractor or subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to the awarding body all rights, and interest in and all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment to the contractor, without further acknowledgment by the parties.

Page 116 of 229 ends

1774061.2
(d) The delay was not caused by Contractor or its subcontractors or suppliers, including but not limited to their breaches of contract or the standard of care; (e) The delay was not associated with loss of time resulting from the necessity of submittals to CITY for approval, or from necessary CITY surveys, measurements, inspections and testing; (f) The delay was not caused by usual or common weather for the time of year, including usual or common severe weather; and
(g) The delay could not have been prevented by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence by Contractor.

Excusable delays may include acts of God, acts of public enemy, acts of the Owner or anyone employed by it, acts of another contractor in performance of a contract (other than this Contract) with the CITY, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, labor disputes, unusually and uncommonly severe weather for the time of year, unforeseen site conditions, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes. CITY shall take into consideration other relevant factors such as concurrent delays.

Contractor has the burden of proving that any delay was excusable, including but not limited to an analysis that establishes no concurrency.

No extension of time will be granted for an excusable delay caused by a shortage of materials unless the Contractor furnishes to the Engineer documentary proof that the Contractor has made every effort to obtain the materials from all known sources within reasonable reach of the Work in a diligent and timely manner, and further proof in the form of supplementary progress schedules that the inability to obtain the materials when originally planned did in fact cause a delay in final Completion of the entire Work which could not be compensated for by revising the sequence of the Contractor's operations. The term "shortage of materials" shall apply only to materials, articles, parts or equipment which are standard items and are to be incorporated in the Work. The term "shortage of materials" shall not apply to materials, parts, articles or equipment which are processed, made, constructed, fabricated or manufactured to meet the specific requirements of the contract. Only the physical shortage of material will be considered under these provisions as a cause for extension of time. Delays in obtaining materials due to priority in filling orders will not constitute a shortage of materials. 6-4.3 Payment for Delays [Replace paragraph with the following:] To be compensable, an excusable delay must be one for which the CITY is responsible, where the delay was unreasonable under the circumstances involved, and where the delay was not within the contemplation of the parties; however, Contractor shall not be entitled to monetary compensation when (a) Contractor could have reasonably anticipated the delay and avoided or minimized the cost impacts of it, such as judicious handling of forces, equipment, or plant, (b) there was a concurrent delay which does not qualify for monetary compensation under this paragraph, (c) the cause of the delay was reasonably unforeseen by the CITY or the delay was caused by factors beyond the control of the CITY, including but not limited to a delay under Section 2.2.8 above or a delay caused by a utility company’s failure to perform despite CITY’s reasonable arrangements for such performance; or (d) any other defense available to CITY under law or equity applies. Contractor has the burden of proving that any delay was excusable and compensable, including an analysis that establishes non-concurrency.

Alternatively, the Contractor may request and the City shall make payment of retention earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor may direct the investment of the payment into securities and the Contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for securities deposited by the Contractor.

The type of securities deposited and the method of release shall be approved by the City Attorney's office.

The full five percent (5%) retention will be deducted from all payments. The City shall hold retainage from the Contractor and shall make prompt and regular incremental acceptances of portions, as determined by the City, of the Contract work, and pay retainage to the Contractor based on these acceptances. The Contractor, or subcontractor, shall return all monies withheld in retention from a subcontractor within 30 days after receiving payment for work satisfactorily completed and accepted including incremental acceptances of portions of the Contract work by the City. Federal law (49 CFR Section 26.29) requires that any delay or postponement of payment over 30 days may take place only for good cause and with the City’s prior written approval. Any violation of this provision shall subject the violating Contractor or subcontractor to the penalties, sanctions and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the Business and Professions Code.

These requirements shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies otherwise available to the Contractor or subcontractor in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the Contractor, deficient subcontract performance, or noncompliance by a subcontractor.

The final retention will be authorized for payment thirty-five (35) days after the date of recordation of the Notice of Completion. .

(a) Initiate and maintain a daily program to prevent accumulation of debris on-site and along access roads and haul routes. Maintain areas under Contractor's control free of waste materials, debris, weeds 6” high, and rubbish. Maintain site in a clean and orderly condition. (b) Provide suitable covered containers for deposit of debris and rubbish. Dispose of accumulation of extraneous materials, prohibit overloading of trucks to prevent spillages on access and haul routes and provide daily inspection of haul routes to enforce requirements. (c) The Contractor shall supply self-loading motorized street sweepers equipped with a functional water spray system as part of his daily program. (d) Schedule at a minimum, weekly collection and disposal of debris. Provide additional collections and disposals of debris whenever the weekly schedule is inadequate to prevent accumulation.

The Contractor shall remove debris from closed or remote spaces prior to closing the space, control cleaning operations to minimize dust and other particulates and immediately remove clay and earth which adhere to the paved surface of the roadway. Remove by hand scraping, washing, sweeping, and/or other method(s) which will leave a clean non-skid surface without impairing, injuring or loosening the surface.

The Contractor is required to control dust throughout the life of the Contract. The control may be required by job conditions or City Engineer. In any case, the Contractor shall use water or other means to control the dust. No chemical agents may be used without written authorization from the Agency. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for safety problems, accidents or any other complications or claims arising from inadequate dust control.

No separate payment will be made for any work performed or material used to control dust resulting from the Contractor's performance of the work, or by public traffic, either inside or outside the right-of-way. Full compensation for such dust control will be considered as included in the price paid for the various items of work involved.

No separate payment will be made for any work performed or material used in cleaning the Project. Full compensation for such cleaning shall be considered as included in the price paid for the various items of work involved and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore. 10-6 CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBILITIES FOR WORK

The Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore, and make good all injuries, losses, or damages to any portion of the work or the material occasioned by any cause before its completion and acceptance and shall bear the expense thereof. Where necessary to protect the work or materials from damage, the Contractor shall at his expense provide suitable drainage and erect such temporary structures as are necessary to protect the work or materials from damage. The suspension of the work from any cause whatever shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for the work and materials as herein specified. If ordered by the City Engineer, the Contractor shall at his expense properly store materials which have been partially paid for by the City or which have been furnished by the City.

Such storage by the Contractor shall be on behalf of the City, the City shall at all times be entitled to the possession of such materials, and the Contractor shall promptly return the same to the site of the work when requested. The Contractor shall not dispose of any of the materials so stored, except on written authorization from the City.

In an emergency affecting the safety of life or property, including adjoining property, the Contractor, without special instructions or authorizations, is authorized to act at his discretion to prevent such threatened loss or injury, and he shall so act as though instructed to do so by the City.
