MEMORANDUM
CITY OF MCFARLAND
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Mario Gonzales, Public Works Director
DATE: January 27, 2022
SUBJECT: Davis Ave. Reconstruction from W. Perkins Ave. to Elmo Hwy BACKGROUND:
The City of McFarland has identified Davis Ave. from W. Perkins Ave. to Elmo Hwy. as needing major reconstruction. Davis Ave. exhibits a paved surface and structure that is in extremely poor condition, consisting of alligator cracking, block cracking, and numerous patches creating a hazardous surface that is well beyond its useful life. At this time there are two options for the reconstruction of Davis Ave.
DISCUSSION:
Option 1: Current project construction plans include the reconstruction of existing roadway, cross gutters, pavement striping and markings, retrofit of curb ramps at the intersections and alleys and reconstruction of curb & gutter and driveways on the east side of Davis Ave. from W. Perkins to Frontage Rd. only. The recommended roadway reconstruction method is the following: Grind and remove existing roadway asphalt to a depth of 3 inches and then pulverize the exposed material to a depth of 12 inches and then uniformly mix the pulverized material with 3% cement, moisture condition it to the optimum moisture content, and compact it to 95% relative compaction and finally install 4 inches of hot mix asphalt. This structural section would provide a design life of 20 years. The estimated construction cost is $1,050,134.00. Under this option, it shall be noted that the reconstructed curb and gutter on the east side of Davis Ave., from Hail Ln. to the existing cross gutter, near Kala Loop, will have a slope of about 0.14%. City standards specify a minimum slope of 0.20%.
Option 2: As a second option, City Staff has requested the Engineer to provide a cost estimate for a grind and pave only project. This option includes Grind and remove existing roadway asphalt to a depth of 3 inches, and then install 3 inches of hot mix asphalt. Under this option cross gutters and curb ramps at the intersections and alleys will be reconstructed, with a limited reconstruction of curb and gutter at ADA curb ramps only. There is no reconstruction of driveways, nor sidewalks. This structural section would provide a design life of 10 years.
The estimated construction cost is $652,258.00. There is an additional re-design cost of $5,500.00 for this option.
Both of the above options include the installation of Class II Bike Lanes with signage, as a bid option item.
Depending upon the bid amount, the City has the choice to accept or reject the bid option item.

2. Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly.

The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.
2. Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request.

2. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable.
3. If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract.

10-1.20 CEMENT TREATED SUBGRADE
This work consists of mixing in place material, cement and water, and spreading and compacting the mixture to the lines, grade and dimensions shown on the plans and as specified in these special provisions. Cement-treated subgrade shall be constructed in a series of parallel lanes such that longitudinal and transverse joints are minimized.
Prior to the first day of soil-cement production, it is advisable to perform a laboratory determination of the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content in order to have a preliminary indication of relative compaction. Determine the maximum density and optimum moisture content of the cement treated soil in accordance with ASTM D 1557. Following the first day's production, these values can be determined from field mixed soil-cement; samples to be taken after final mixing and prior to initial compaction.
The cement content of the completed mixture shall be 3 percent by weight of the in-place dry material. For estimating purposes, an in-place dry unit weight of material of 125 pcf should be used.
The Engineer may order an increase or decrease in the amount of specified cement content. If such increase or decrease is ordered, the compensation payable to the Contractor for cement treatment will be increased or decreased on the basis of the cost of cement per ton, f.o.b. the cement mill (including sales tax) plus the freight cost per ton, a cash or trade discount offered or available will be credited to the State notwithstanding the fact that the discount may not have been taken by the purchaser.
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer satisfactory evidence of the cost of cement used on the project during the period involved in the ordered change in cement content. The Contractor shall maintain recorders that enable a clear determination of the cost of cement used during the period. The Contractor's records pertaining to the cost of cement shall be open to inspection or audit by Departmental representatives during the life of the contract and for no less than 3 years after completion thereof. The Contractor shall retain the records for that period.
If the price of cement as determined from the Contractor's records is, in the opinion of the Engineer, excessive or if the Contractor does not furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost of cement, the Engineer will determine the price to be the lowest wholesale cost at which cement would be available in the quantities concerned delivered to the job site, less discounts, available. No additional adjustment of compensation will be made for variations in the cost of work resulting from the change in the quantity of Portland cement.
The cement content of samples, after establishing the spread rate in the first 500 feet of each days operation, shall be taken a minimum of once every 1000 feet from the mixtures spread on the roadbed. The cement content of the samples shall not vary above or below the specified cement content more than one percent of the weight of the dry material as determined by California Test 228.
Cement shall be Type II Portland cement conforming to the provisions in Section 90-1.02B(2), "Cement," of the Standard Specifications. Mineral admixtures shall not be substituted for cement. Water shall conform to the provisions in Section 90-
1.02D, "Water," of the Standard Specifications. Material to be treated shall be scarified and thoroughly broken up by means of equipment constructed and operated to leave an undisturbed plan at a uniform depth below the surface shown on the typical cross section. Precautions shall be taken to avoid forming furrows of loosened material below the referenced plane and to obtain a uniform condition of the material for the full width to be treated. 42 Material other than rock shall be broken up so that the broken pieces will pass a one-inch sieve. Before the addition of cement and water to the material, rocks greater than 2-1/2 inches in size shall be removed and the cost of removing rocks will be paid for an extra work as provided in Section 4-1.05, "Changes and Extra Work," of the Standard Specifications.
The material shall then be shaped to conform to the typical sections, lines and grades as shown on the plans prior to the addition of cement. The blanket shall be limited to the size of the material that can be passed through the mixing machine at each operation.
Cement shall not be spread upon the prepared material more than 4 hours ahead of the road-mixing operation. Cement shall be uniformly spread by mechanical equipment in the amount necessary to meet the cement content requirements. The rate of cement spread per linear foot of windrow or blanket shall not vary more than 10 percent from the designated rate. No traffic other than the mixing equipment will be allowed to pass over the spread cement until after completion of mixing.
Mixing of the soils, cement, and water will be performed using a four-wheel drive rotary mixer (CMI RS- 650, CAT 500 or equivalent). The mixing machine has equipment provisions for introducing water at the time of mixing through a metering/pump device and automatic elevation/depth controls.
The automatic depth controls shall be set to the Engineer's specified depth of treatment. The machine will be set into the ground on the grade and lowered to controlled depth. Using a standard measuring tape, the depth will be measured and compared to the Engineer's specified depth. The depth control may be adjusted, if necessary, to achieve the specified depth of treatment. The depth of treatment will be checked, throughout the day.
Phenolphthalein, a color-sensitive pH indicator solution, is used to indicate the presence of cement in the soil. The soil will attain a pinkish color with a pH on the order of 10. A trial test on the natural or untreated soil by spraying the solution onto the soils shall be performed. Typically, there is no change in color with the application of the solution to the natural soil.
After an initial mix, a test pit through the treated layer and into the natural soil shall be excavated; the phenolphthalein solution shall be sprayed along the face of the excavation to determine the degree of uniformity and pulverization. The presence of streaks or pockets of cement or non-uniformity of color reaction is considered evidence of inadequate mixing. The depth of treatment shall be confirmed.
The resulting mixture shall be uniform and more than one pass of the equipment through the material may be required. If equipment is used that requires more than one pass and cement is applied in a dry state, at least one pass shall be made before mixing water is added to the material. The treated mixture shall be spread to the required planned width, grade and cross section. The mixture may be spread and compacted in one layer.
Cement treated material shall be compacted to a relative compaction of not less than 95 percent. In-place density of cement treated soils may be controlled relative to the wet density of the laboratory determined moisture density relation. Because moisture is a critical element in the stabilization process, testing by this method allows for relative compaction to be achieved at higher moisture contents. Remove material that does not meet density requirements. Remove areas that lose required stability, compaction or finish. Replace with cement-treated mixture and compact and test in accordance with density control methods.
The Engineer may accept the section if no more than 1 of the 5 most recent density tests is below the specified density and the failing test is no less than 93 percent relative compaction.
No more than 2 hours shall elapse between the time water is added to the material and cement and the time of completion of initial rolling. No more than 3 hours shall elapse between the time water is added to the material and cement and the time of completion of final compaction after trimming. Compacting equipment shall adequate to produce the required compaction within the operation time limits specified.
Rolling shall be performed in such a manner that the finished surface shall be true to the required grade and cross section within the surface tolerance specified. Areas inaccessible to rollers shall be compacted to the required compaction by other means satisfactory to the Engineer.
The finished surface of cement treated material shall not vary more than 0.08-foot above or below grade established by the Engineer. The thickness of cement treated materials shall not be more than 0.05-foot thinner than the planned thickness at any point.
The completed cement treated subgrade shall be surfaced with a curing seal consisting of SS1 or CSS1 grade asphaltic emulsion at a rate of 0.10 to 0.15 gallons per square yard of surface. The curing seal shall be applied on the same day as finish rolling is completed.
Microcracking operations shall commence after 36 to 48 hours of the curing period. Microcracking of the concrete treated material shall be accomplished by using a 12-ton steel-wheel vibratory roller, traveling at a speed of approximately 2 mph and vibrating at maximum amplitude (or as directed by the Project Engineer). The section shall have 100% coverage exclusive of the outside 1 foot so as to induce minute cracks in the concrete treated material. Additional passes of the steel roller may be 43 required to achieve the desired crack pattern as determined by the Project Engineer. It is anticipated that the roller will have to make between 1 to 4 passes to achieve the required microcracking.
After microcracking, areas where cement treatment has been performed shall be cured as provided for cement treated base in Section 27-1.03I, "Curing," of the Standard Specifications. No equipment or traffic shall be permitted on the cement treated material during the first 3 days after applying the curing compound, unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer.
Full compensation for applying a curing compound, in curing areas where cement treatment has been performed shall be considered as included in the contract price paid per square foot for cement treatment and no separate payment will be made therefor. Cement treatment will be measured by the square foot. The area in square foot will be determined from measurement of the finished surface of cement treated material. The measurement will be made parallel to the ground slope.
The contract price paid per square foot for cement treatment for the thickness specified shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials (including cement in the amount specified), tools, equipment, and incidentals, and for doing all the work involved in mixing, spreading, compacting cement treatment, and microcracking, as shown on the plans, as specified in the Standard Specifications and these special provisions, and as directed by the Engineer. 10-1.21 HOT MIX ASPHALT

You may deposit HMA in a windrow and load it in the paver if:
1. Paver is equipped with a hopper that automatically feeds the screed
2. Loading equipment can pick up the windrowed material and deposit it in the paver hopper without damaging base material
3. Activities for deposit, pick-up, loading, and paving are continuous
4. HMA temperature in the windrow does not fall below 260 °F You may pave HMA in 1 or more layers on areas less than 5 feet wide and outside the traveled way including shoulders. You may use mechanical equipment other than a paver for these areas. The equipment must produce a uniform smoothness and texture.
45 HMA handled, spread, or windrowed must not stain the finished surface of any improvement including pavement.
Do not use petroleum products such as kerosene or diesel fuel to release HMA from trucks, spreaders, or compactors.

Simultaneous to paving a through lane's top layer, you may pave an adjoining area's top layer including shoulders. Do not operate spreading equipment on any area's top layer until completing final compaction.
If HMA (leveling) is specified, fill and level irregularities and ruts with HMA before spreading HMA over base, existing surfaces, or bridge decks. You may use mechanical equipment other than a paver for these areas. The equipment must produce a uniform smoothness and texture. HMA used to change an existing surface's cross slope or profile is not HMA (leveling).
If placing HMA against the edge of existing pavement, sawcut or grind the pavement straight and vertical along the joint and remove extraneous material without damaging the surface remaining in place. If placing HMA against the edge of a longitudinal or transverse construction joint and the joint is damaged or not placed to a neat line, sawcut or grind the pavement straight and vertical along the joint and remove extraneous material without damaging the surface remaining in place. Repair or remove and replace damaged pavement at your expense.

The project plans for the work to be done were dated December 03, 2021 and are entitled:
CITY OF McFARLAND
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECT PLANS FOR
DAVIS AVE. RECONSTRUCTION
INCLUDE WITH BID
56 Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items.
The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentagewise the unit price or item total in the CITY OF McFARLAND’s Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity, which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the CITY OF McFARLAND, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the CITY OF McFARLAND to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the CITY OF McFARLAND respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to enter into the contract and furnish the 2 bonds in the sums required by the State Contract Act, with surety satisfactory to the CITY OF McFARLAND, within 8 days, not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the bidder has received notice from the CITY OF McFARLAND that the contract has been awarded, the CITY OF McFARLAND may, at its option, determine that the bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall be null and void and the forfeiture of the security accompanying this proposal shall operate and the same shall be the property of CITY OF McFARLAND.
The undersigned, as bidder, declares that the only persons or parties interested in this proposal as principals are those named herein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other person, firm, or corporation; that he has carefully examined the location of the proposed work, the annexed proposed form of contract, and the PLANS therein referred to; and he proposes, and agrees if this proposal is accepted, that he will contract with the CITY OF McFARLAND, in the form of the copy of the contract annexed hereto, to provide all necessary machinery, tools, apparatus and other means of construction, and to do all the work and furnish all the materials specified in the contract, in the manner and time therein prescribed, and according to the requirements of the Engineer as therein set forth, and that he will take in full payment therefor the following prices, to wit:

CITY OF McFARLAND
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM (QAP)
The purpose of this program is to provide assurance that the materials incorporated into the construction projects are in conformance with the contract specifications. This program should be updated every five years or more frequent if there are changes of the testing frequencies or to the tests themselves. To accomplish this purpose, the following terms and definitions will be used:
DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Acceptance Testing (AT) – Sampling and testing, or inspection, to determine the degree of compliance with contract requirements.
• Independent Assurance Program (IAP) – Verification that AT is being performed correctly by qualified testers and laboratories.
• Quality Assurance Program (QAP) – A sampling and testing program that will provide assurance that the materials and workmanship incorporated into the construction project are in conformance with the contract specifications. The main elements of a QAP are the AT, and IAP. • Source Inspection – AT of manufactured and prefabricated materials at locations other than the job site, generally at the manufactured location.
MATERIALS LABORATORY
The AGENCY will use their own materials laboratory or a private consultant materials laboratory to perform AT on Federal-aid and other designated projects. The materials laboratory shall be under the responsible management of a California registered Engineer with experience in sampling, inspection and testing of construction materials. The Engineer shall certify the results of all tests performed by laboratory personnel under the Engineer’s supervision. The materials laboratory shall contain certified test equipment capable of performing the tests conforming to the provisions of this QAP.
The materials laboratory used shall provide documentation that the laboratory complies with the following procedures:
1. Correlation Testing Program – The materials laboratory shall be a participant in one or more of the following testing programs:
a. AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL)
b. Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL)
c. Caltrans’ Reference Samples Program (RSP)
2. Certification of Personnel – The materials laboratory shall employ personnel who are certified by one or more of the following:
a. Caltrans District Materials Engineer
b. Nationally recognized non-Caltrans organizations such as the American Concrete Institute, Asphalt, National Institute of Certification of Engineering Technologies, etc. c. Other recognized organizations approved by the State of California and/or Recognized by local governments or private associations.
3. Laboratory and Testing Equipment – The materials laboratory shall only use laboratory and testing equipment that is in good working order. All such equipment shall be calibrated at least once each year. All testing equipment must be calibrated by impartial means using devices of accuracy traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. A decal shall be firmly affixed to each piece of equipment showing the date of the last calibration. All testing equipment calibration decals shall be checked as part of the IAP.
City of McFarland – QAP 2019 Page 2 of 5
ACCEPTANCE TESTING (AT)
AT will be performed by a materials laboratory certified to perform the required tests. The tests results will be used to ensure that all materials incorporated into the project are in compliance with the contract specifications.
Testing methods will be in accordance with the CT Methods or a national recognized standard (i.e., AASHTO, ASTM, etc.) as specified in the contract specifications.
Sample locations and frequencies may be in accordance with the contract specifications. If not so specified in the contract specifications, samples shall be taken at the locations and frequencies as shown in Table 1 – Sampling and Testing Frequency.
INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE PROGRAM (IAP)
IAP shall be provided by personnel from Caltrans, the Agency’s certified materials laboratory, or consultant’s certified materials laboratory. IAP will be used to verify that sampling and testing procedures are being performed properly and that all testing equipment is in good condition and properly calibrated.
IAP personnel shall be certified in all required testing procedures, as part of IAP, and shall not be involved in any aspect of AT.
IAP shall be performed on every type of materials test required for the project. Proficiency tests shall be performed on Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent, and Cleanness Value tests. All other types of IAP shall be witness tests.
Poor correlation between acceptance tester’s results and other test results may indicate probable deficiencies with the acceptance sampling and testing procedures. In cases of unresolved discrepancies, a complete review of AT shall be performed by IAP personnel, or an independent materials laboratory chosen by the Agency. IAP samples and tests are not to be used for determining compliance with contract requirements. Compliance with contract requirements is determined only by AT.
REPORTING ACCEPTANCE TESTING RESULTS
The following are time periods for reporting material test results to the Resident Engineer:
• When the aggregate is sampled at material plants, test results for Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent and Cleanness Value should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 24 hours after sampling. • When materials are sampled at the job site, test results for compaction and maximum density should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 24 hours after sampling. • When soils and aggregates are sampled at the job site:
(1) Test results for Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent and Cleanness Value should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 72 hours after sampling.
(2) Test results for “R” Value and asphalt concrete extraction should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 96 hours after sampling.
When sampling products such as Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), cement-treated base (CTB), hot mix asphalt (HMA), and other such materials; the time of such sampling shall be varied with respect to the time of the day insofar as possible, in order to avoid a predictable sampling routine. The reporting of AT results, if not performed by the Resident Engineer’s staff, shall be done on an expedited basis such as by fax, telephone or email.
City of McFarland – QAP 2019 Page 3 of 5
TESTING OF MANUFACTURED MATERIALS
During the Design phase of the project, the Project Engineer may submit a “Source Inspection Request” see Attachment#1 (Exhibit 16-V of the LAPM) to the Agency, consultant, or Caltrans for inspection and testing of manufactured and prefabricated materials by their materials laboratory. A list of materials that can be typically accepted on the basis of certificates of compliance during construction is found in Attachment #2 (Appendix F of the QAP Manual). All certificates of compliance shall conform to the requirements of the contract specifications, for examples see Attachment #3 (Appendix J of the QAP Manual).
Should the Agency request Caltrans to conduct the source inspection, and the request is accepted, all sampling, testing, and acceptance of manufactured and prefabricated materials will be performed by Caltrans’ Office of Materials Engineering and Testing Services.
For Federal-aid projects on the National Highway System (NHS), Caltrans will assist in certifying the materials laboratory, and the acceptance samplers and testers. For Federal-aid projects off the NHS, Caltrans may be able to assist in certifying the materials laboratory, and the acceptance samplers and testers.
PROJECT CERTIFICATION
Upon completion of a Federal-aid project, a “Materials Certificate" shall be completed by the Resident Engineer. The Agency shall include a “Materials Certificate” in the Report of Expenditures submitted to the Caltrans District Director, Attention: District Local Assistance Engineer. A copy of the “Materials Certificate” shall also be included in the Agency’s construction records. The Resident Engineer in charge of the construction function for the Agency shall sign the certificate. All materials incorporated into the work which did not conform to specifications must be explained and justified on the “Materials Certification”, including changes by virtue of contract change orders. See Attachment #4 for an example (Appendix K of the QAP Manual).
RECORDS
All material records of samples and tests, material releases and certificates of compliance for the construction project shall be incorporated into the Resident Engineer’s project file. If a Federal-aid project:
• The files shall be organized as described in Section 16.8 “Project Files” of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
• It is recommended that the complete project file be available at a single location for inspection by Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) personnel. • The project files shall be available for at least three years following the date of final project voucher. • The use of a “Log Summary,” as shown in Appendix H of the QAP Manual (See Attachment #5), facilitates reviews of material sampling and testing by Caltrans and FHWA, and assists the Resident Engineer in tracking the frequency of testing.
When two or more projects are being furnished identical materials simultaneously from the same plant, it is not necessary to take separate samples or perform separate tests for each project; however, copies of the test reports are to be provided for each of the projects to complete the records.
