55 D. Remedies. If Town determines, in its sole discretion, that any part of the Work or Project site is unsafe, Town may, without assuming responsibility for Contractor’s safety program, require Contractor or its Subcontractor to cease performance of the Work or to take corrective measures to Town’s satisfaction. If Contractor fails to promptly take the required corrective measures, Town may perform them and deduct the cost from the Contract Price. Contractor agrees it is not entitled to submit a Claim for damages, for an increase in Contract Price, or for a change in Contract Time based on Contractor’s compliance with Town’s request for corrective measures pursuant to this provision.
10.2 Hazardous Materials. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, this Contract does not include the removal, handling, or disturbance of any asbestos or other Hazardous Materials. If Contractor encounters materials on the Project site that Contractor reasonably believes to be asbestos or other Hazardous Materials, and the asbestos or other Hazardous Materials have not been rendered harmless, Contractor may continue Work in unaffected areas reasonably believed to be safe, but must immediately cease work on the area affected and report the condition to Town. No asbestos, asbestos-containing products or other Hazardous Materials may be used in performance of the Work.
10.3 Material Safety. Contractor is solely responsible for complying with § 5194 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, including by providing information to Contractor’s employees about any hazardous chemicals to which they may be exposed in the course of the Work. A hazard communication program and other forms of warning and training about such exposure must be used. Contractor must also maintain Safety Data Sheets (“SDS”) at the Project site, as required by Laws, for materials or substances used or consumed in the performance of the Work. The SDS will be accessible and available to Contractor’s employees, Subcontractors, and Town.
A. Contractor Obligations. Contractor is solely responsible for the proper delivery, handling, use, storage, removal, and disposal of all materials brought to the Project site and/or used in the performance of the Work. Contractor must notify the Engineer if a specified product or material cannot be used safely.

Contractor must ensure proper labeling on any material brought onto the Project site so that any persons working with or in the vicinity of the material may be informed as to the identity of the material, any potential hazards, and requirements for proper handling, protections, and disposal.
10.4 Hazardous Condition. Contractor is solely responsible for determining whether a hazardous condition exists or is created during the course of the Work, involving a risk of bodily harm to any person or risk of damage to any property.
If a hazardous condition exists or is created, Contractor must take all precautions necessary to address the condition and ensure that the Work progresses safely under the circumstances. Hazardous conditions may result from, but are not limited to, use of specified materials or equipment, the Work location, the Project site condition, the method of construction, or the way any Work must be performed.
10.5 Emergencies. In an emergency affecting the safety or protection of persons, Work, or property at or adjacent to any Worksite, Contractor must take reasonable and prompt actions to prevent damage, injury, or loss, without prior authorization from the Town if, under the circumstances, there is inadequate time to seek prior authorization from the Town.

Title: 2026 Annual Street Repair and Resurfacing
56 A. Final Inspection and Punch List. When the Work required by this Contract is fully performed, Contractor must provide written notification to Town requesting final inspection. The Engineer will schedule the date and time for final inspection, which must include Contractor’s primary representative for this Project and its superintendent. Based on that inspection, Town will prepare a punch list of any items that are incomplete, missing, defective, incorrectly installed, or otherwise not compliant with the Contract Documents. The punch list to Contractor will specify the time by which all of the punch list items must be completed or corrected. The punch list may include Town’s estimated cost to complete each punch list item if Contractor fails to do so within the specified time. The omission of any non-compliant item from a punch list will not relieve Contractor from fulfilling all requirements of the Contract Documents. Contractor’s failure to complete any punch list item within the time specified in the punch list will not waive or abridge its warranty obligations for any such items that must be completed by the Town or by a third party retained by the Town due to Contractor’s failure to timely complete any such outstanding item.
B. Requirements for Final Completion. Final Completion will be achieved upon completion or correction of all punch list items, as verified by Town’s further inspection, and upon satisfaction of all other Contract requirements, including any commissioning required under the Contract Documents and submission of all final submittals, including instructions and manuals as required under Section 7.10, and complete, final as-built drawings as required under Section 7.11, all to Town’s satisfaction.
C. Acceptance. The Project will be considered accepted upon Town Council action during a public meeting to accept the Project, unless the Engineer is authorized to accept the Project, in which case the Project will be considered accepted upon the date of the Engineer’s issuance of a written notice of acceptance. In order to avoid delay of Project close out, the Town may elect, acting in its sole discretion, to accept the Project as complete subject to exceptions for punch list items that are not completed within the time specified in the punch list.
D. Final Payment and Release of Retention. Final Payment and release of retention, less any sums withheld pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Documents, will not be made sooner than 35 days after recordation of the notice of completion. If Contractor fails to complete all of the punch list items within the specified time, Town may withhold up to 150% of Town’s estimated cost to complete each of the remaining items from Final Payment and may use the withheld retention to pay for the costs to self-perform the outstanding items or to retain a third party to complete any such outstanding punch list item.
11.2 Warranty.
A. General. Contractor warrants that all materials and equipment will be new unless otherwise specified, of good quality, in conformance with the Contract Documents, and free from defective workmanship and materials.
Contractor further warrants that the Work will be free from material defects not intrinsic in the design or materials required in the Contract Documents. Contractor warrants that materials or items incorporated into the Work comply with the requirements and standards in the Contract Documents, including compliance with Laws, and that any Hazardous Materials encountered or used were handled as required by Laws. At Town’s request, Contractor must furnish satisfactory evidence of the quality and type of materials and equipment furnished. Contractor’s warranty does not extend to damage caused by normal wear and tear, or improper use or maintenance.

Title: 2026 Annual Street Repair and Resurfacing
57 B. Warranty Period. Contractor’s warranty must guarantee its Work for a period of one year from the date of Project acceptance (the “Warranty Period”), except when a longer guarantee is provided by a supplier or manufacturer or is required by the Specifications or Special Conditions. Contractor must obtain from its Subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers any special or extended warranties required by the Contract Documents.
C. Warranty Documents. As a condition precedent to Final Completion, Contractor must supply Town with all warranty and guarantee documents relevant to equipment and materials incorporated into the Work and guaranteed by their suppliers or manufacturers.
D. Subcontractors. The warranty obligations in the Contract Documents apply to Work performed by Contractor and its Subcontractors, and Contractor agrees to be co-guarantor of such Work.
E. Contractor’s Obligations. Upon written notice from Town to Contractor of any defect in the Work discovered during the Warranty Period, Contractor or its responsible Subcontractor must promptly correct the defective Work at its own cost. Contractor’s obligation to correct defects discovered during the Warranty Period will continue past the expiration of the Warranty Period as to any defects in Work for which Contractor was notified prior to expiration of the Warranty Period. Work performed during the Warranty Period (“Warranty Work”) will be subject to the warranty provisions in this Section 11.2 for a one-year period that begins upon completion of such Warranty Work to Town’s satisfaction.
F. Town’s Remedies. If Contractor or its responsible Subcontractor fails to correct defective Work within ten days following notice by Town, or sooner if required by the circumstances, Town may correct the defects to conform with the Contract Documents at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor must reimburse Town for its costs in accordance with subsection (H), below.
G. Emergency Repairs. In cases of emergency where any delay in correcting defective Work could cause harm, loss or damage, Town may immediately correct the defects to conform with the Contract Documents at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor or its surety must reimburse Town for its costs in accordance with subsection (H), below.
H. Reimbursement. Contractor must reimburse Town for its costs to repair under subsections (F) or (G), above, within 30 days following Town’s submission of a demand for payment pursuant to this provision. If Town is required to initiate legal action to compel Contractor’s compliance with this provision, and Town is the prevailing party in such action, Contractor and its surety are solely responsible for all of Town’s attorney’s fees and legal costs expended to enforce Contractor’s warranty obligations herein, in addition to any and all costs Town incurs to correct the defective Work.
11.3 Use Prior to Final Completion. Town reserves the right to occupy or make use of the Project, or any portions of the Project, prior to Final Completion if Town has determined that the Project or portion of it is in a condition suitable for the proposed occupation or use, and that it is in its best interest to occupy or make use of the Project, or any portions of it, prior to Final Completion.
A. Non-Waiver. Occupation or use of the Project, in whole or in part, prior to Final Completion will not operate as acceptance of the Work or any portion of it, nor will it operate as a waiver of any of Town’s rights or Contractor’s duties pursuant to these Contract Documents, and will not affect nor bear on the determination of
ITEM NO. 6.

Title: 2026 Annual Street Repair and Resurfacing
58 the time of substantial completion with respect to any statute of repose pertaining to the time for filing an action for construction defect.
B. Town’s Responsibility. Town will be responsible for the cost of maintenance and repairs due to normal wear and tear with respect to those portions of the Project that are being occupied or used before Final Completion.
The Contract Price or the Contract Time may be adjusted pursuant to the applicable provisions of these Contract Documents if, and only to the extent that, any occupation or use under this Section actually adds to Contractor’s cost or time to complete the Work within the Contract Time.
11.4 Substantial Completion. For purposes of determining “substantial completion” with respect to any statute of repose pertaining to the time for filing an action for construction defect, “substantial completion” is deemed to mean the last date that Contractor or any Subcontractor performs Work on the Project prior to Town acceptance of the Project, except for warranty work performed under this Article.
Article 12 - Dispute Resolution
12.1 Claims. This Article applies to and provides the exclusive procedures for any Claim arising from or related to the Contract or performance of the Work.
A. Definition. “Claim” means a separate demand by Contractor, submitted in writing by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, for a change in the Contract Time, including a time extension or relief from liquidated damages, or a change in the Contract Price, when the demand has previously been submitted to Town in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, and which has been rejected or disputed by Town, in whole or in part. A Claim may also include that portion of a unilateral Change Order that is disputed by the Contractor.
B. Limitations. A Claim may only include the portion of a previously rejected demand that remains in dispute between Contractor and Town. With the exception of any dispute regarding the amount of money actually paid to Contractor as Final Payment, Contractor is not entitled to submit a Claim demanding a change in the Contract Time or the Contract Price, which has not previously been submitted to Town in full compliance with Article 5 and Article 6, and subsequently rejected in whole or in part by Town.
C. Scope of Article. This Article is intended to provide the exclusive procedures for submission and resolution of Claims of any amount and applies in addition to the provisions of Public Contract Code § 9204 and § 20104 et seq., which are incorporated by reference herein.
D. No Work Delay. Notwithstanding the submission of a Claim or any other dispute between the parties related to the Project or the Contract Documents, Contractor must perform the Work and may not delay or cease Work pending resolution of a Claim or other dispute, but must continue to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work, including the Work pertaining to the Claim or other dispute.
E. Informal Resolution. Contractor will make a good faith effort to informally resolve a dispute before initiating a Claim, preferably by face-to-face meeting between authorized representatives of Contractor and Town.
12.2 Claims Submission. A Claim must be submitted in writing by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, and must comply with the following requirements:

5. Include the following certification, executed by Contractor’s authorized representative: “The undersigned Contractor certifies under penalty of perjury that its statements and representations in this Claim submittal are true and correct.

A Claim disputing the terms of a unilateral Change Order must be submitted within 30 days following the date of issuance of the unilateral Change Order. These Claim deadlines apply even if Contractor cannot yet quantify the total amount of any requested change in the Contract Time or Contract Price. If the Contractor cannot quantify those amounts, it must submit an estimate of the amounts claimed pending final determination of the requested remedy by Contractor.
2. With the exception of any dispute regarding the amount of Final Payment, any Claim must be filed on or before the date of Final Payment or will be deemed waived.
3. A Claim disputing the amount of Final Payment must be submitted within 30 days of the effective date of Final Payment, under Section 8.7, Final Payment.
4. Strict compliance with these Claim submission deadlines is necessary to ensure that any dispute may be mitigated as soon as possible, and to facilitate cost-efficient administration of the Project. Any Claim that is not submitted within the specified deadlines will be deemed waived by Contractor.
12.3 Town’s Response. Town will respond within 45 days of receipt of the Claim with a written statement identifying which portion(s) of the Claim are disputed, unless the 45-day period is extended by mutual agreement of Town and Contractor or as otherwise allowed under Public Contract Code § 9204. However, if Town determines that the Claim is not adequately substantiated pursuant to Section 12.2(A), Substantiation, Town may first request in writing, within 30 days of receipt of the Claim, any additional documentation supporting the Claim or relating to defenses to the Claim that Town may have against the Claim.
A. Additional Information. If additional information is thereafter required, it may be requested and provided upon mutual agreement of Town and Contractor. If Contractor’s Claim is based on estimated amounts, Contractor has a continuing duty to update its Claim as soon as possible with information on actual amounts in order to facilitate prompt and fair resolution of the Claim.
B. Non-Waiver. Any failure by Town to respond within the times specified above will not be construed as acceptance of the Claim, in whole or in part, or as a waiver of any provision of these Contract Documents.
12.4 Meet and Confer. If Contractor disputes Town’s written response, or Town fails to respond within the specified time, within 15 days of receipt of Town’s response or within 15 days of Town’s failure to respond within the applicable 45-day time period under Section 12.3, respectively, Contractor may notify Town of the dispute in writing sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. If Contractor fails to notify Town of the dispute and demand an informal conference to meet and confer in writing within the specified time, Contractor’s Claim will be deemed waived.

C. Written Statement After Meet and Confer. Within ten working days after the meet and confer has concluded, Town will issue a written statement identifying which portion(s) of the Claim remain in dispute, if any.
D. Submission to Mediation. If the Claim or any portion remains in dispute following the meet and confer conference, within ten working days after the Town issues the written statement identifying any portion(s) of the Claim remaining in dispute, the Contractor may identify in writing disputed portion(s) of the Claim, which will be submitted for mediation, as set forth below.
12.5 Mediation and Government Code Claims.
A. Mediation. Within ten working days after the Town issues the written statement identifying any portion(s) of the Claim remaining in dispute following the meet and confer, Town and Contractor will mutually agree to a mediator, as provided under Public Contract Code § 9204. Mediation will be scheduled to ensure the mutual availability of the selected mediator and all of the individuals that each party requires to represent its interests.
If there are multiple Claims in dispute, the parties may agree to schedule the mediation to address all outstanding Claims at the same time.

The time for filing a Government Code Claim will be tolled from the time Contractor submits its written Claim pursuant to Section 12.2, above, until the time that Claim is denied in whole or in part at the conclusion of the meet and confer process, including any period of time used by the meet and confer process. However, if the Claim is submitted to mediation, the time for filing a Government Code Claim will be tolled until conclusion of the mediation, including any continuations, if the Claim is not fully resolved by mutual agreement of the parties during the mediation or any continuation of the mediation.
12.6 Tort Claims. This Article does not apply to tort claims and nothing in this Article is intended nor will be construed to change the time periods for filing tort-based Government Code Claims.
12.7 Arbitration. It is expressly agreed, under Code of Civil Procedure § 1296, that in any arbitration to resolve a dispute relating to this Contract, the arbitrator’s award must be supported by law and substantial evidence.

In any legal proceeding that involves enforcement of any requirements of the Contract Documents, the finder of fact will receive detailed instructions on the meaning and operation of the Contract Documents, including conditions, limitations of liability, remedies, claim procedures, and other provisions bearing on the defenses and theories of liability. Detailed findings of fact will be requested to verify enforcement of the Contract Documents. All of the Town’s remedies under the Contract Documents will be construed as cumulative, and not exclusive, and the Town reserves all rights to all remedies available under law or equity as to any dispute arising from or relating to the Contract Documents or performance of the Work.
12.10 Other Disputes. The procedures in this Article 12 will apply to any and all disputes or legal actions, in addition to Claims, arising from or related to this Contract, including disputes regarding suspension or early termination of the Contract, unless and only to the extent that compliance with a procedural requirement is expressly and specifically waived by Town. Nothing in this Article is intended to delay suspension or termination under Article 13.
Article 13 - Suspension and Termination
13.1 Suspension for Cause. In addition to all other remedies available to Town, if Contractor fails to perform or correct Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including non-compliance with applicable environmental or health and safety Laws, Town may immediately order the Work, or any portion of it, suspended until the circumstances giving rise to the suspension have been eliminated to Town’s satisfaction.
A. Notice of Suspension. Upon receipt of Town’s written notice to suspend the Work, in whole or in part, except as otherwise specified in the notice of suspension, Contractor and its Subcontractors must promptly stop Work as specified in the notice of suspension; comply with directions for cleaning and securing the Worksite; and protect the completed and in-progress Work and materials. Contractor is solely responsible for any damages or loss resulting from its failure to adequately secure and protect the Project.
B. Resumption of Work. Upon receipt of the Town’s written notice to resume the suspended Work, in whole or in part, except as otherwise specified in the notice to resume, Contractor and its Subcontractors must promptly remobilize and resume the Work as specified; and within ten days from the date of the notice to resume, Contractor must submit a recovery schedule, prepared in accordance with the Contract Documents, showing how Contractor will complete the Work within the Contract Time.
C. Failure to Comply. Contractor will not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Time or Contract Price for a suspension occasioned by Contractor’s failure to comply with the Contract Documents.
D. No Duty to Suspend. Town’s right to suspend the Work will not give rise to a duty to suspend the Work, and Town’s failure to suspend the Work will not constitute a defense to Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
13.2 Suspension for Convenience. Town reserves the right to suspend, delay, or interrupt the performance of the Work in whole or in part, for a period of time determined to be appropriate for Town’s convenience. Upon notice by Town pursuant to this provision, Contractor must immediately suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work and secure the Project site as directed by Town except for taking measures to protect completed or in-progress Work as directed in the suspension notice, and subject to the provisions of Section 13.1(A) and (B), above. If Contractor submits a timely request for a Change Order in compliance with Articles 5 and 6, the Contract Price and the Contract Time will be equitably
ITEM NO. 6.
undefined #25-811-9901
Title: 2026 Annual Street Repair and Resurfacing
63 adjusted by Change Order pursuant to the terms of Articles 5 and 6 to reflect the cost and delay impact occasioned by such suspension for convenience, except to the extent that any such impacts were caused by Contractor’s failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of the suspension notice or notice to resume. However, the Contract Time will only be extended if the suspension causes or will cause unavoidable delay in Final Completion. If Contractor disputes the terms of a Change Order issued for such equitable adjustment due to suspension for convenience, its sole recourse is to comply with the Claim procedures in Article 12.
13.3 Termination for Default. Town may declare that Contractor is in default of the Contract for a material breach of or inability to fully, promptly, or satisfactorily perform its obligations under the Contract.
Default. Events giving rise to a declaration of default include Contractor’s refusal or failure to supply sufficient skilled workers, proper materials, or equipment to perform the Work within the Contract Time; Contractor’s refusal or failure to make prompt payment to its employees, Subcontractors, or suppliers or to correct defective Work or damage; Contractor’s failure to comply with Laws, or orders of any public agency with jurisdiction over the Project; evidence of Contractor’s bankruptcy, insolvency, or lack of financial capacity to complete the Work as required within the Contract Time; suspension, revocation, or expiration and nonrenewal of Contractor’s license or DIR registration; dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, or other major change in Contractor’s organization, ownership, structure, or existence as a business entity; unauthorized assignment of Contractor’s rights or duties under the Contract; or any material breach of the Contract requirements.
A. Notice of Default and Opportunity to Cure. Upon Town’s declaration that Contractor is in default due to a material breach of the Contract Documents, if Town determines that the default is curable, Town will afford Contractor the opportunity to cure the default within ten days of Town’s notice of default, or within a period of time reasonably necessary for such cure, including a shorter period of time if applicable.
B. Termination. If Contractor fails to cure the default or fails to expediently take steps reasonably calculated to cure the default within the time period specified in the notice of default, Town may issue written notice to Contractor and its performance bond surety of Town’s termination of the Contract for default.
C. Waiver. Time being of the essence in the performance of the Work, if Contractor’s surety fails to arrange for completion of the Work in accordance with the Performance Bond within seven calendar days from the date of the notice of termination pursuant to paragraph (C), Town may immediately make arrangements for the completion of the Work through use of its own forces, by hiring a replacement contractor, or by any other means that Town determines advisable under the circumstances. Contractor and its surety will be jointly and severally liable for any additional cost incurred by Town to complete the Work following termination, where “additional cost” means all cost in excess of the cost Town would have incurred if Contractor had timely completed Work without the default and termination. In addition, Town will have the right to immediate possession and use of any materials, supplies, and equipment procured for the Project and located at the Project site or any Worksite on Town property for the purposes of completing the remaining Work.
D. Compensation. Within 30 days of receipt of updated as-builts, all warranties, manuals, instructions, or other required documents for Work installed to date, and delivery to Town of all equipment and materials for the Project for which Contractor has already been compensated, Contractor will be compensated for the Work satisfactorily performed in compliance with the Contract Documents up to the effective date of the termination pursuant to the terms of Article 8, Payment, subject to Town’s rights to withhold or deduct sums from payment otherwise due pursuant to Section 8.3, and excluding any costs Contractor incurs as a result of the termination,
ITEM NO. 6.
undefined #25-811-9901
Title: 2026 Annual Street Repair and Resurfacing
64 including any cancellation or restocking charges or fees due to third parties. If Contractor disputes the amount of compensation determined by Town, its sole recourse is to comply with the Claim Procedures in Article 12, by submitting a Claim no later than 30 days following notice from Town of the total compensation to be paid by Town.
E. Wrongful Termination. If Contractor disputes the termination, its sole recourse is to comply with the Claim procedures in Article 12. If a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator later determines that the termination for default was wrongful, the termination will be deemed to be a termination for convenience, and Contractor’s damages will be strictly limited to the compensation provided for termination for convenience under Section 13.4, below.

a. Split or quarter 100 g +/- 5 g from the CRM sample and dry to a constant mass at a temperature of not less than 57°C nor more than 63°C and record the dry sample mass. Place the CRM sample and 5 g of talc in a 0.5-L jar. Seal the jar then shake the jar by hand for a minimum of one minute to mix the CRM and the talc. Continue shaking or open the jar and stir until particle agglomerates and clumps are broken and the talc is uniformly mixed. b. Place one rubber ball on each sieve. Each ball shall have a mass of 8.5 g +/- 0.5 g, have a diameter of 24.5 mm +/- 0.5 mm, and shall have a Shore Durometer “A” hardness of 50 +/- 5 in conformance with the requirements in ASTM D2240.
After sieving the combined material for 10 minutes +/- 1 minute, disassemble the sieves. Material adhering to the bottom of a sieve shall be brushed into the next finer sieve. Weigh and record the mass of the material retained on the
2.36-mm sieve and leave this material (do not discard) on the scale or balance. Observed fabric balls shall remain on the scale or balance and shall be placed together on the side of the scale or balance to prevent the fabric balls from being covered or disturbed when placing the material from finer sieves onto the scale or balance. The material retained on the next finer sieve (2.00-mm sieve) shall be added to the scale or balance. Weigh and record that mass as the accumulative mass retained on that sieve (2.00-mm sieve). Continue weighing and recording the accumulated masses retained on the remaining sieves until the accumulated mass retained in the pan has been determined. Prior to discarding the CRM sample, separately weigh and record the total mass of fabric balls in the sample. c. Determine the mass of material passing the 75-µm sieve (or mass retained in the pan) by subtracting the accumulated mass retained on the 75-µm sieve from the accumulated mass retained in the pan. If the material passing the 75-µm sieve (or mass retained in the pan) has a mass of 5 g or less, cross out the recorded number for the accumulated mass retained in the pan and copy the number recorded for the accumulated mass retained on the 75-µm sieve and record that number (next to the crossed out number) as the accumulated mass retained in the pan. If the material passing the 75-µm sieve (or mass retained in the pan) has a mass greater than 5 g, cross out the recorded number for the accumulated mass retained in the pan, subtract 5 g from that number and record the difference next to the crossed out number. The adjustment to the accumulated mass retained in the pan is made to account for the 5 g of talc added to the sample. For calculation purposes, the adjusted total sample mass is the same as the adjusted accumulated mass retained in the pan. Determine the percent passing based on the adjusted total sample mass and record to the nearest 0.1 percent:

tormwater pollution is a national environmental
problem. In California, stormwater runoff is a
major source of water pollution. To help combat
the problems of stormwater pollution, federal and state governments have developed a program for monitoring and permitting discharges to municipal storm drain systems, creeks, and water bodies such as San
Francisco Bay.
Municipalities in the Bay Area are required by the
Clean Water Act to develop stormwater management
programs that include requirements for construction
activities. Your construction project will need to
comply with local municipal requirements. If your
construction activity will disturb one acre or more, you must also obtain coverage under the General
Construction Activity Permit (see Requirements for
Dischargers).
Blueprint for a Clean Bay is an introductory guide to
stormwater quality control on construction sites. It
contains several principles and techniques that you
can use to help prevent stormwater pollution. BASMAA
has developed this booklet as a resource for all general contractors, home builders, and subcontractors working on construction sites.
Blueprint for a Clean Bay is not a design manual or a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) (see
Requirements for Dischargers). For more information
on the General Permit, designing stormwater quality
controls, or producing a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, please refer to:
❏ the California Stormwater Quality Association
(CASQA) Stormwater Best Management Practice
Handbook for Construction,
❏ the Regional Water Quality Control Board’s
(RWQCB) Guidelines for Construction Projects, or
❏ consult your local program or the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) (see below).
Please note that this booklet is concerned only with
the management of construction sites and activities
during construction.
Storm Drain System
Stormwater or runoff from sources like sprinklers and
hoses flows over the ground into the storm drain
system. In the San Francisco Bay Area, storm drain
systems consist of gutters, storm drains, underground
pipes, open channels, culverts, and creeks. Storm
drain systems are designed to drain directly to the
Bay, Delta, or Pacific Ocean with no treatment.
Pollution From Construction Sites
Stormwater runoff is part of a natural hydrologic process. However, land development and construction activities can significantly alter natural drainage patterns and pollute stormwater runoff. Runoff picks up pollutants as it flows over the ground or paved areas
and carries these pollutants into the storm drain
system. Common sources of pollutants from construction sites include: sediments from soil erosion; construction materials and waste (e.g., paint, solvents, concrete, drywall); landscaping runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides; and spilled oil, fuel, and other fluids from construction vehicles and heavy equipment.
Adverse Effects from Stormwater
Pollution
Stormwater pollution is a major source of water pollution in California. It can cause declines in fisheries, damage habitats, and limit water recreation activities.
Stormwater pollution poses a serious threat to the
overall health of the ecosystem.

Municipal Stormwater Program
Municipalities in the Bay Area are required by federal
regulations to develop programs to control the discharge of pollutants to the storm drain system, including the
discharge of pollutants from construction sites and areas of new development or significant redevelopment. As a
result, your development and construction projects are
subject to new requirements designed to improve
stormwater quality such as, expanded plan check and
review, contract specifications, stormwater treatment
measures, runoff monitoring, and increased site
inspection. For more information on municipal requirements, please contact the municipal representative listed on the back cover of this booklet.
Projects Equal To Or Greater
Than 1 Acre
If your construction activity will disturb one acre or
more, you must obtain coverage under the General
Construc-tion Activity Storm Water Permit (General
Construction Permit) issued by the SWRCB for
stormwater discharges associated with construction
activity. To obtain coverage under the General Permit, a Notice of Intent (NOI) must be filed with the SWRCB.
The General Construction Permit requires you to
prepare and carry out a “Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan” or SWPPP. Your SWPPP must identify
appropriate stormwater pollution prevention measures or best management practices (BMPs), like the ones
described in this booklet, to reduce pollutants in
stormwater discharges from the construction site both
during and after construction is complete. A best
management practice or BMP is defined as any program,
technology, process, practice, operating method,
measure, or device that controls, prevents, removes, or reduces pollution. The General Permit also requires
permanent stormwater quality controls (see BASMAA’s
Start at the Source manual and CASQA’s BMP
Handbooks New Development and Redevelopment for
examples). You should keep a copy of your SWPPP
readily available onsite throughout construction.
Projects Less Than 1 Acre
If your project is less than one acre, you may still need to use BMPs to comply with local municipal requirements.
Check with the local stormwater program (listed on back cover), or planning or engineering department for details.
General Practices
The following are some general principles that can
significantly reduce pollution from construction
activity and help make compliance with stormwater
regulations easy:
❏ Identify all storm drains, drainage swales and
creeks located near the construction site and make
sure all subcontractors are aware of their locations
to prevent pollutants from entering them.
❏ Clean up leaks, drips, and other spills immediately
so they do not contact stormwater.
❏ Refuel vehicles and heavy equipment in one
designated location on the site and take care to
clean up spills immediately.
❏ Wash vehicles at an appropriate off-site facility. If equipment must be washed on-site, do not use
soaps, solvents, degreasers, or steam cleaning
equipment, and prevent wash water from entering
the storm drain. If possible, direct wash water to a
low point where it can evaporate and/or infiltrate.
❏ Never wash down pavement or surfaces where
materials have spilled. Use dry cleanup methods
whenever possible.
❏ Avoid contaminating clean runoff from areas
adjacent to your site by using berms and/or
temporary or permanent drainage ditches to divert
water flow around the site. Reduce stormwater
runoff velocities by constructing temporary check
dams and/or berms where appropriate.
❏ Protect all storm drain inlets using filter fabric
cloth or other best management practices to
prevent sediments from entering the storm
drainage system during construction activities.
❏ Keep materials out of the rain — prevent runoff pollution at the source. Schedule clearing or heavy earth moving
activities for periods of dry weather. Cover exposed piles of soil, construction materials and wastes with plastic sheeting or temporary roofs. Before it rains, sweep and remove materials from surfaces that drain to storm
drains, creeks, or channels.
Requirements for Dischargers Best Management Practices
ITEM NO. 6.
4 ❏ Keep pollutants off exposed surfaces. Place trash
cans around the site to reduce litter. Dispose of
non-hazardous construction wastes in covered
dumpsters or recycling receptacles.
❏ Practice source reduction — reduce waste by ordering only the amount you need to finish the job. ❏ Do not over-apply pesticides or fertilizers and
follow manufacturers instructions for mixing and
applying materials.
❏ Recycle leftover materials whenever possible.
Materials such as concrete, asphalt, scrap metal,
solvents, degreasers, cleared vegetation, paper,
rock, and vehicle maintenance materials such as
used oil, antifreeze, batteries, and tires are
recyclable (check with the local planning or
building department for more information).
❏ Dispose of all wastes properly. Materials that cannot be reused or recycled must be taken to an appropriate
landfill or may require disposal as hazardous waste.
Never throw debris into channels, creeks or into
wetland areas. Never store or leave debris in the
street or near a creek where it may contact runoff.
❏ Illegal dumping is a violation subject to a fine
and/or time in jail. Be sure that trailers carrying
your materials are covered during transit. If not,
the hauler may be cited and fined.
❏ Train your employees and inform subcontractors
about the stormwater requirements and their own
responsibilities.
Specific Practices
Following is a summary of specific best management
practices for erosion and sediment control and
contractor activities. For more information on erosion
and sediment control BMPs and their design, please
refer to the RWQCB Erosion and Sediment Control
Field Manual (August 2002), the CASQA Stormwater
Best Management Practice Handbook for Construction
(January 2003), and the Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG) Manual of Standards for Erosion
& Sediment Control Measures (May 1995).
Erosion Prevention and
Sediment Control
Prevent erosion
Soil erosion is the process by which soil particles are removed from the land surface, by wind, water and/or
gravity. Soil particles removed by stormwater runoff
are pollutants that when deposited in local creeks,
lakes, Bay or Delta, can have negative impacts on
aquatic habitat. Exposed soil after clearing, grading, or excavation is easily eroded by wind or water. The
following practices will help prevent erosion from
occurring on the construction site:
❏ Plan the development to fit the topography, soils,
drainage pattern and natural vegetation of the site.
❏ Delineate clearing limits, easements, setbacks,
sensitive or critical areas, trees, drainage courses,
and buffer zones to prevent excessive or
unnecessary disturbances and exposure.
❏ Phase grading operations to reduce disturbed
areas and time of exposure.
❏ Avoid excavation and grading during wet weather.
❏ Limit on-site construction routes and stabilize
construction entrance(s) and exit(s).
❏ Remove existing vegetation only when absolutely
necessary.
❏ Construct diversion dikes and drainage swales to
channel runoff around the site.
❏ Use berms and drainage ditches to divert runoff
around exposed areas. Place diversion ditches
across the top of cut slopes.
Best Management Practices
ITEM NO. 6.
❏ Plant vegetation on exposed slopes. Where
replanting is not feasible, use erosion control
blankets (e.g., jute or straw matting, glass fiber or
excelsior matting, mulch netting).
❏ Consider slope terracing with cross drains to
increase soil stability.
❏ Cover stockpiled soil and landscaping materials
with secured plastic sheeting and divert runoff
around them.
❏ As a back-up measure, protect drainage courses,
creeks, or catch basins with fiber rolls, silt fences,
sand/gravel bags and/or temporary drainage swales.
❏ Once grading is completed, stabilize the disturbed
areas using permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
Use temporary erosion controls until vegetation is
established.
❏ Conduct routine inspections of erosion control
measures especially before and immediately after
rainstorms, and repair if necessary.
Control sediment
Sedimentation is defined as the process of depositing
sediments carried away by runoff. Sediments
consist of soil particles, clays, sands,
and other minerals. The purpose of
sediment control practices is to remove
sediments from stormwater before they
are transported off-site or reach a
storm drain inlet or nearby creek. The
most effective sediment control
practices reduce runoff velocity and
trap or detain runoff allowing
sediments to settle out.
❏ Use terracing, rip rap, sand/gravel
bags, rocks, fiber rolls, and/or temporary vegetation on slopes to reduce runoff velocity and trap sediments.
Do not use asphalt rubble or other
demolition debris for this purpose.
❏ Use check dams in temporary
drains and swales to reduce runoff
velocity and promote sedimentation.
❏ Protect storm drain inlets from sediment-laden runoff. Storm drain inlet protection devices include
sand/gravel bag barriers, filter
fabric fences, block and gravel filters, catch basin
filter inserts, excavated drop inlet sediment traps, or a combination of these.
❏ Collect and detain sediment-laden runoff in
sediment traps (an excavated or bermed area or
constructed device) to allow sediments to settle out
prior to discharge.
❏ Use sediment controls and filtration to remove
sediments from dewatering discharges.
❏ Prevent construction vehicle tires from tracking
soil onto adjacent streets by constructing a temporary stone pad with a filter fabric underliner near the site exit where dirt and mud can be removed.
❏ When cleaning sediments from streets, driveways
and paved areas on construction sites, use dry
sweeping methods where possible. If water must
be used to flush pavement, collect runoff to settle
out sediments and protect storm drain inlets.
Note: Performance of erosion and sediment controls is dependent on proper installation, routine inspections and maintenance of the controls. Straw bale barriers are an example of a BMP that has not been as effective as expected due to improper use. Most of the BMPs described above are temporary and if left alone can quickly fall into disrepair and/or become ineffective. Routine inspections and maintenance, particularly before and after a storm event, must be part of any erosion and sediment control plan.
Best Management Practices
5 Drainage swales channel runoff around a construction site. Planting temporary vegetation on freshly graded areas, and trenching and staking fiber rolls and/or silt fences downslope are common techniques for preventing erosion and controlling sediment.
The RWQCB’s Field Manual, the CASQA Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook for Construction, and the ABAG Manual of Standards for Erosion and Sediment Control provide specific details and design criteria for erosion and sediment control plans.

General Site Maintenance
Prevent spills and leaks
Poorly maintained vehicles and heavy equipment
leaking fuel, oil, antifreeze, or other fluids on the construction site are common sources of stormwater pollution and soil contamination. Construction material spills can also cause serious problems. Careful site
planning, preventive maintenance, and good materials
handling practices can eliminate most spills and leaks. ❏ Maintain all vehicles and heavy equipment. Inspect
frequently for and repair leaks.
❏ Designate specific areas of the construction site,
well away from creeks or storm drain inlets, for
vehicle and equipment parking and routine
maintenance.
❏ Perform major maintenance, repair jobs and vehicle and equipment washing off-site when feasible, or in designated and controlled areas on-site.
❏ If you must drain and replace motor oil, radiator
coolant, or other fluids on-site, use drip pans or
drop cloths to catch drips and spills. Collect all
spent fluids, store in labeled separate containers,
and recycle whenever possible. Note that in order
to be recyclable, such liquids must not be mixed
with other fluids. Non-recycled fluids generally
must be disposed of as hazardous wastes.
Clean up spills immediately after they
happen
When vehicle fluids or materials such as paints or
solvents are spilled, cleanup should be immediate,
automatic, and routine.
❏ Sweep up spilled dry materials (e.g., cement,
mortar, or fertilizer) immediately. Never attempt to
“wash them away’’ with water, or bury them. Use
only minimal water for dust control.
❏ Clean up liquid spills on
paved or impermeable
surfaces using “dry’’
cleanup methods (e.g.,
absorbent materials like
cat litter, sand or rags).
❏ Clean up spills on dirt
areas by digging up and
properly disposing of the
contaminated soil.
❏ Report significant spills
to the appropriate spill
response agencies immediately (See reference
list on the back cover of this booklet for more
information).
Note: Used cleanup rags that have absorbed hazardous
materials must either be sent to a certified industrial laundry or dry cleaner, or disposed of through a licensed hazardous waste disposal company.
6 Make sure equipment repair area is bermed or well away from creeks and storm drains.
Clean up spills on dirt areas
