Agenda — McFarland City Council, March 3, 2022 (part 1 of 2)

CITY OF MCFARLAND

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Peter Cosentini, Assistant City Manager
DATE: March 3, 2022
SUBJECT: Finance Department Staffing
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution to appropriate $107,042 from the general fund to hire one permanent full time accounts payable clerk, one permanent full time accounts receivable clerk and two temporary full time staff accountants to assist with audit related functions and accounting system support.

Discussion:

After reviewing our audit report, it has become clear that we need to add staff to the Finance Department for the proper functioning of our accounting system. Our current staffing does not allow for sufficient dedicated staffing for the accounts payable and accounts receivable functions. These functions were noted in the audit as not functioning properly. As a result, we are not able to property track accounts receivable and accounts payable. To correct this problem, it is recommended that we create a full-time permanent accounts receivable clerk and a full-time permanent accounts payable clerk.

In addition, in talking with our auditors, approximately $856,000 is possibly owed to the general fund from reimbursables due to grants and capital projects. We must go back and do the accounting in this area to determine the outcome. It is important to do this as soon as possible because we will not know our true fund balance in the general fund until this work is done. The auditors recommend an experienced staff accountant or CPA level to do this work. It is estimated that the work can be performed in approximately 4 months of fulltime temporary work.

As the Council is aware, we have already contracted with our auditing firm to start the next audit for fiscal year 2020-2021. It will begin shortly after the Council presentation of the 2019/2020 fiscal year audit March 10, at the Council’s next meeting. Another staff accountant is necessary to assist the Finance Department to produce the various reports needed by the auditors to develop and complete the next audit. This is necessary, otherwise both the audit and the budget will be late. Council will recall the lateness of the last budget and audit. This staffing will help with that problem. We estimate that we will need this second staff accountant between 4 to 6 months.

Fiscal Impact:

The hourly rate for the temporary staff accountant is $44.07. The cost of one month for a temporary staff accountant would be $7,638. We need 2 temporary staff accountants for 4 months to complete this fiscal year. The total cost for 4 months for two staff accountants for the remainder of this fiscal year is $61,110. If we need more time next fiscal year, we will place it in the next budget.

The total annual cost of a permanent full-time accounts payable or receivable clerk is $68,898 (salary and benefits). The cost for the 4 months remaining in this fiscal year for one of the clerks is $22,966. The total cost for the two permanent clerks for the 4 months remaining in this fiscal year is $45,932. Total cost of the four positions noted for the 4 months remaining in this fiscal year is $107,042.

FROM: Peter Consentini, Assistant City Manager
Larry A Ronk III, Interim Community Development Director DATE: March 3, 2022
SUBJECT: Report, Discussion, and Give Direction for RFQ (Request for Qualifications) for a Grant Writing Consultant.

Background
The City is in need of a grant writer to apply for grants. At this time, our grant administrator is doing both writing and administrating which does not allow a staff member to look deeply into grants that can help the city. City staff has noticed that having a writer can benefit the city entirely in regards to items needed throughout the city in all aspects and departments.

The RFQ will give the city the ability to see who is the best qualified to be a grant writer for the city and give the city an understanding on whether its feasible to have an in-house writer or utilize an consultant. The RFQ will bring multiple agencies to the City for a possible decision to partner with one and find funding through grants.

With the retrieval of RFQs from consultants, the City will then review all and report to council for decision on which consultant works best for the city. If any fees are needed to appropriate in this years budget, staff will bring a resolution during the awarding for approval.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends City Council to give direction and have staff post a RFQ for a grant writing consultant.

MEMORANDUM

CITY OF MCFARLAND
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Mario Gonzales, Public Works Director
Larry A Ronk III, Interim Community Development Director DATE: March 1, 2022
SUBJECT: McFarland Garden and Trail Improvements Project Construction Award BACKGROUND:

On January 27, 2022, the City of McFarland received bids from five general construction contractors for construction of the McFarland Garden and Trail Improvements Project located on Industrial Avenue between East Perkins Avenue and East Sherwood Avenue. Each bid consisted of a base bid plus three additive alternate bids. The additive alternate bids were for the prefabricated restroom building, the basketball court, and the north parking lot. The Council is entitled to award the construction contract based on the scope of work for the base bid alone or may award the contract for the base bid plus any combination of additive alternates as the Council deems appropriate. As stated in the Notice to Bidders and Instructions to Bidders, the Award recommendation is to be based on the lowest responsible bidder with a responsible bid; the lowest bid is to be based on the total cost of the Base Bid items, plus all additive alternates. The bids were as follows:

Base Bid plus Add Alternates 1, 2, and 3

1. Stockbridge General Contracting, Inc. $2,164,270.90 ($1,785,270.90 Base Bid)

2. DL Brown Construction, Inc. $2,591,303.40 ($2,282,307.40 Base Bid)

3. C.S. Legacy, Inc. $3,142,809.78 ($2,595,214.94 Base Bid) The two other bids received were from United Field Services Corporation and from S&B Sons, Inc. Both entities submitted outdated bid forms, thereby disqualifying them as responsive bidders.

DISCUSSION:

The Engineer’s estimate for the Project is $1.573 million dollars ($1.366 million Base Bid) making the lowest responsible and responsive bid nominally $591,000 ($419,000 base bid) over the Engineer’s Estimate The Engineer’s estimate was established approximately 1 year ago, and construction escalation has outpaced general inflation.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council to award the McFarland Garden and Trail Improvement Project to Stockbridge General Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $1,785,270.90 Base Bid.

FISCAL IMPACT:
100 % Funded Base Bid – (Urban Greening Grant $1,651,041.79, Park Impact Fees $134,229.11, and Possible Future Awarding Grants $490,000.00)
The budget of the project will cover only the base bid. All alternates will not be covered by present funding. Alternates may be approved for construction if additional grants are awarded during the construction of the project. Urban Greening Grant had funding of $1,800,000.00 but design and staff cost has utilized $148,958.21 and now has a balance of $1,651,041.79. The city has applied for two grants (Clean California Grant and Land and Conservation Grant) that will cover the funding needed in the amount of $134,229.11 that will be paid by Park Impact Fees collected in May from the new Apartments Development on Sherwood. The Clean California Grants was applied for in the amount of $490,000.00 and the city has been selected for funding. The city is waiting for the executed agreement to utilize funding to not only cover the $134,229.11 but to cover all alternate bids and fulfill all amenities for this project.

See attached Bid Summary, which includes the Engineer’s Cost Estimate and a tally of bid prices from responsive bidders.

Each proposal consisted of a combination of base bid plus additive alternates 1 through 3. As stated in the Notice to Bidders and Instructions to Bidders, the Award recommendation is to be based on the lowest responsible bidder with a responsible bid; the lowest bid is to be based on the total cost of the Base Bid items, plus all additive alternates. The bids were as follows:

Base Bid plus Add Alternates 1, 2, and 3

1. Stockbridge General Contracting, Inc. $2,164,270.90 ($1,785,270.90 Base Bid)

2. DL Brown Construction, Inc. $2,591,303.40 ($2,282,307.40 Base Bid)

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 willbe 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.

ARTICLE 1. WORK OF CONTRACTOR

1.1 Scope of Work.

The Contractor shall perform all of the work, furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation, and comply with all of the specifications and requirements set forth in the Contract Documents for the project entitled McFarland Community Garden and Trail Construction (“Project”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which may be referred to as the “services” or “work” hereunder. All such work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, as reasonably determined by the City, and shall be performed in strict compliance with the Contract Documents and all local, state, and federal laws and regulations. As used herein, “Contract Documents” refers to all of the documents included in the solicitation of bids for the Project and Contractor’s bid proposal(s), including but not limited to, the Notice Inviting Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Bid, Federal Provisions (if any), Applicable Federal Wage Decision (if any), General Provisions, Special Provisions, Appendices, Plans, Drawings, and Addenda, and any other documents included, referenced, or incorporated therein. The Contract Documents are incorporated into this Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Contract Documents and this Agreement, the terms of -3-
this Agreement shall govern.

1.2 Incorporation of Caltrans Specifications.

The provisions of the Caltrans Standard Specifications (as the same may be updated, amended, or supplemented from time to time, “Standard Specifications”) are incorporated herein, except as explicitly modified by the Contract Documents. The applicable version of the Standard Specifications shall be the version referenced in the Contract Documents, and if no version is referenced in the Contract Documents, the applicable version shall be the most recent version. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Standard Specifications and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

1.3 Compliance with Labor and Wage Laws.
(a) Public Work. The Parties acknowledge that the work to be performed under this Agreement is a “public work” as defined in Labor Code Section 1720 and that this Agreement is therefore subject to the requirements of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code relating to public works contracts and the rules and regulations established by the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) implementing such statutes. The work performed under this Agreement is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Contractor shall post job site notices, as prescribed by state law and DIR regulations. (b) Registration with DIR. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.1, Contractor and all subcontractors must be registered with, and pay an annual fee to, the DIR prior to and during the performance of any work under this Agreement. Contractor shall notify the City in writing immediately, and in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours, after receiving any information that Contractor’s or any of its subcontractors’ DIR registration status has been suspended, revoked, expired, or otherwise changed. (c) Prevailing Wages. Contractor shall pay prevailing wages as required by Labor Code Section 1771. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file at City Hall and will be made available to any interested Party on request. By initiating any work under this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the DIR determination of the prevailing rate of per diem wages, and Contractor shall post a copy of the same at each job site where work is performed under this Agreement. If this Agreement is subject to the payment of federal prevailing wages under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. § 3141 et seq.), then Contractor shall pay the state or federal prevailing wage applicable to each laborer, whichever is higher. (d) Penalty for Failure to Pay Prevailing Wages. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 concerning the payment of prevailing rates of wages to workers and the penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done pursuant to this Agreement by Contractor or by any subcontractor. (e) Payroll Records. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1776, which requires Contractor and each subcontractor to: keep accurate payroll records and verify such records in writing under penalty of perjury, as specified in Section 1776; certify and make such payroll records available for inspection as provided by Section 1776; and inform the City of the location of the records.
-4-
(f) Apprentices. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1777.5, 1777.6, and 1777.7 and California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 200 et seq. concerning the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with these aforementioned Sections for all apprenticeable occupations. Prior to commencing work under this Agreement, Contractor shall provide City with a copy of the information submitted to any applicable apprenticeship program. Within sixty (60) days after concluding work pursuant to this Agreement, Contractor and each of its subcontractors shall submit to the City a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed under this Agreement. (g) Eight-Hour Workday. Contractor acknowledges that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by Labor Code Section 1810. (h) Penalties for Excess Hours. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1813 concerning penalties for workers who work excess hours. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the performance of this Agreement by the Contractor or by any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1815, work performed by employees of Contractor in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than one and one-half (1½) times the basic rate of pay. (i) Workers’ Compensation. California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700 provide that every employer will be required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees if it has employees. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1861, Contractor certifies as follows:
“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”
(j) Contractor’s Responsibility for Subcontractors. For every subcontractor who will perform work under this Agreement, Contractor shall be responsible for such subcontractor's compliance with Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code and shall make such compliance a requirement in any contract with any subcontractor for work under this Agreement. Contractor shall take all actions necessary to enforce such contractual provisions and ensure subcontractor's compliance, including without limitation, conducting a review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor on a periodic basis or upon becoming aware of the failure of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the specified prevailing rate of wages. Contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify any such failure by any subcontractor.

1.4 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments.

Contractor shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits, registrations, and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement.

Contractor shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for the Contractor’s -5-
performance of the services required by this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against City hereunder.

1.5 Familiarity with Work.

By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that Contractor (i) has thoroughly investigated and considered the Scope of Work to be performed, (ii) has carefully considered how the work should be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending performance of the work under this Agreement. If the services involve work upon any site, Contractor warrants that Contractor has or will investigate the site and is or will be fully acquainted with the conditions there existing, prior to commencement of services hereunder.

1.6 Discovery of Unknown Conditions.
(a) Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 7104, Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the City, in writing, of any: (i) material Contractor believes may be hazardous waste as defined in Section 25117 of the Health & Safety Code required to be removed to a Class I, II, or III disposal site in accordance with existing law; (ii) subsurface, unknown, or latent physical conditions at the Project site, materially different from those indicated by information about the Project site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids on the Project; or (iii) unknown physical conditions at the Project site of any unusual nature, different from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement, that will materially affect the performance of Contractor’s services hereunder. (b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the work, the City shall issue a change order in accordance with Section 1.11 of this Agreement.
(c) In the event that a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date set, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law, which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the Parties.

1.7 Unidentified Utilities.

To the extent required by Government Code Section 4215, City will compensate Contractor for the cost of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of Contractor to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating utility facilities not identified by City in the Contract Documents with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the Project necessarily idled during such work. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require City to indicate the presence of existing service laterals or appurtenances whenever the presence of such utilities on the Project site can be inferred from the presence of other visible facilities, such as buildings, meters, and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the Project site of the construction; provided, however, nothing herein shall relieve City from identifying main or trunklines in the plans and specifications. If Contractor, while performing the work, discovers utility facilities not identified by City in the plans or specifications, Contractor shall immediately notify City and the utility in writing. This Agreement is subject to Government Code Sections 4126 through 4216.9. Contractor must notify utilities -6-
and obtain an identification number before excavation or be subject to liability for damages to subsurface installations.

1.8 Trench Excavation.

Pursuant to Labor Code Section 6705, if this Agreement is for more than $25,000 and requires the excavation of any trench or trenches five feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit, in advance of such excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. The plan shall be reviewed and accepted by the City, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the City to whom authority has been delegated, prior to the excavation. If the plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer.

This Section 1.8 shall not be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders (set forth in the California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Subchapter 4). This Section 1.8 shall not be construed to impose tort liability on the City or any of its employees. Full compensation for sheeting, shoring, bracing, sloping, and all other provisions required for worker protection shall be considered as included in the contract price shown in the appropriate Bid item in the Contract Documents, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.

1.9 Protection and Care of Work and Materials.

The Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods, including providing and maintaining storage facilities, during the life of this Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as caused by City’s own negligence. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. Contractor shall not, without City’s consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be necessary for the completion of the work.

1.10 Warranty.

Contractor warrants all work under this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed or corrected and any non-conforming construction or materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in this Agreement, or the Contract Documents, or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance of the Project by the City, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the requirements under this Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall act as soon as requested by the City in response to any emergency condition or situation. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, remove and replace any portions of the work (or work of its subcontractors) damaged by its defective work or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor's obligation hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one-year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work. Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with -7-
the requirements of this Agreement. All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement or the Contract Documents, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work or materials at Contractor's sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

1.12 Grant Fund Requirements.
(a) Federal Funds; Uniform Requirements. If the Project is funded in whole or in part by federal funds, as indicated in Contract Documents, City and Contractor shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR Part 200) (“Uniform Requirements”), which are incorporated herein by reference.

In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit B and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit B shall govern.

ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Contract Sum.

Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor the amounts set forth in Contractor’s Bid, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.

Subject to any additions or deductions that may be made by change order or amendment, and any penalties or damages that may be assessed against Contractor, Contractor shall receive total compensation, -8-
including reimbursement of Contractor’s expenses, of ______________________________________ DOLLARS AND _____________ CENTS ($______________) (“Contract Sum”) for completion of the work. The Contract Sum shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all materials and for doing all the work contemplated and embraced in this Agreement; and also for all loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties or obstructions which may arise or be encountered in the prosecution of the work until its acceptance by the City, and for all risks of every description connected with the work; also for all expenses incurred by or in consequence of the suspension or discontinuance of work and for well and faithfully completing the work, and the whole thereof, in the manner and according to the plans and specifications, and the requirements of the Contract Documents and this Agreement. The Contract Sum shall be made in the form of progress payments and a final payment as provided in this Section 2 and the Contract Documents unless the Bid or Contract Documents explicitly provide for a lump sum payment.

Compensation may include reimbursement for actual and necessary expenditures for reproduction costs, telephone expenses, and travel expenses approved by the Project Manager in advance, or actual subcontractor expenses of an approved subcontractor pursuant to Section 4.5, and only if specified in Exhibit A. The Contract Sum shall include the attendance of Contractor at all project meetings reasonably deemed necessary by the City. Coordination of the performance of the work with City is a critical component of the services. If Contractor is required to attend additional meetings to facilitate such coordination, Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for attending said meetings.

2.2 Invoices.

Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed and expenses incurred during the preceding month in a form approved by City’s Finance Director. By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Contractor is certifying compliance with all provisions of this Agreement.

All invoices shall include a copy of Contractor’s Certified Payroll and proof that Certified Payroll has been submitted to the DIR. Contractor shall also submit a list of the prevailing wage rates (including federal prevailing wage rates, if applicable) for all employees and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement, as applicable, with Contractor’s first invoice. If these rates change at any time during the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall submit a new list of rates to the City with its first invoice following the effective date of the rate change.

2.3 Payment.

City shall, as soon as practicable, independently review each invoice submitted by the Contractor to determine whether the work performed, and expenses incurred comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, City will cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City does not cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted invoice, Contractor shall be entitled to the payment of interest to the extent allowed under Public Contract Code Section 20104.50. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor, not later than seven (7) days after receipt by the City, for correction and resubmission. Returned invoices shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request was rejected. Review and payment by the City of any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided -9-
herein or any applicable law.

2.4 Retention; Substitution of Securities.

City will deduct a five percent (5%) retention from all progress payments. In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement, City shall permit the substitution of securities for any moneys withheld by City to ensure performance under this Agreement. The retention held by the City shall be released within sixty (60) days after the date of completion of the work and the Project, as required by Government Code Section 7107. In the event of a dispute between City and Contractor, City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the disputed amount.

ARTICLE 3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

3.1 Schedule of Performance.

Contractor shall begin work within five (5) calendar days after receiving a Notice to Proceed from the City and the work shall be completed within One-Hundred and Eighty (180) consecutive calendar days from the date on which Contractor received the Notice to Proceed, or otherwise in accordance with any schedule contained in or required to be provided by the Contract Documents, and any revisions thereof approved by the City in writing. Time is of the essence. If the work is not completed within said time period, liquidated damages shall apply as set forth below.

3.2 Force Majeure.

The time period(s) for performance of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the City, if the Contractor shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Project Manager in writing of the causes of the delay. The Project Manager shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the Project Manager such delay is justified. The Project Manager’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover damages against the City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, Contractor’s sole remedy being extension of this Agreement pursuant to this Section.

3.3 Liquidated Damages.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold any accrued liquidated damages from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor. To the extent required by Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the work when such delay was caused by the failure of the City or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities. -10-

3.4 Inspection and Final Acceptance.

City may inspect and accept or reject any of Contractor’s work under this Agreement, either during performance or when completed. If City finds that Contractor’s work does not meet the requirements and standards provided in the Bid Document, Contractor shall remedy any defects in the work at Contractor’s sole expense following notice by the City. City shall accept work by a timely written acceptance, otherwise work shall be deemed to have been rejected. City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud and such gross mistakes as to amount to fraud. Acceptance of any work by City shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Articles 1 and 5, pertaining to warranty and indemnification and insurance, respectively.

ARTICLE 4. COORDINATION OF WORK

City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed to be a partner of Contractor in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any joint enterprise with Contractor.

4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.

(h) Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any Party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

(m) Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other Party involved with the Project who is brought onto or involved in the Project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.
(n) Agency’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation. (o) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.

which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Contractor, or should City otherwise find Contractor’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Contractor shall reimburse the City its costs of defense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Contractor’s obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by the City or any Indemnitees. In instances where City or its Indemnitees is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of the City.

If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the Risk Manager determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the performance bond required under Article 5 of this Agreement may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION

6.1 Records.

Contractor shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies, certified and accurate copies of payroll records in compliance with all applicable laws, or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to City and services performed hereunder (the “books and records”), as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Project Manager to evaluate the performance of such services.

Any and all such documents shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete and detailed. The Project Manager shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of 3 years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Contractor’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Contractor’s successor in interest.

Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.

6.2 Reports.

Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Project Manager such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Project Manager shall require.

Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Contractor is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Contractor shall promptly notify the Project Manager of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto.

6.3 Ownership of Documents.

All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”) prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Project Manager or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation -17-
as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse, or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse, or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.

6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) Information gained or work product produced by Contractor in its performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Project Manager. (b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Project Manager or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena.
(c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. (d) Contractor shall promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any Party regarding this Agreement and the work performed with respect to the Project. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and governed both as to validity and to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Fresno, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District -18-
of California, in the County of Fresno, State of California.

7.2 Termination.

The City may terminate this Agreement and be relieved of the payment of any consideration to Contractor should Contractor fail to perform the covenants herein contained or contained in the Specifications at the time and in the manner as required. In the event of such termination, the City may proceed with the work in any manner deemed proper by the City. The cost to the City shall be deducted from any sum due the Contractor under this Agreement, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Contractor upon demand.

7.3 Dispute Resolution Process.
(a) Section 20104 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process utilizing informal conferences, non-binding judicial-supervised mediation, and judicial arbitration to resolve disputes on construction claims of $375,000 or less. Additionally, Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims. The intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes. (b) For purposes of these procedures, “claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor, after the City has denied Contractor’s timely and duly made request for payment for extra work and/or a time extension, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to this Agreement and payment of which is not otherwise expressly provided for or the Contractor is not otherwise entitled to, or (C) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the City.
(c) The following requirements apply to all claims to which this Section applies:
i. Claim Submittal. The claim shall be in writing and include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Claims governed by this procedure must be filed on or before the date of final payment. Nothing in this Section is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided in this Agreement for the filing of claims, including all requirements pertaining to compensation or payment for extra work, disputed work, and/or changed conditions. Failure to follow such contractual requirements shall bar any claims or subsequent lawsuits for compensation or payment thereon.
ii. Supporting Documentation. The Contractor shall submit all claims in the following format:

1. Summary of the claim, including references to the specific Bid Document provisions or provisions under this Agreement upon which the claim is based.

2. List of documents relating to claim: (a) Specifications, (b) Drawings, (c) Clarifications (Requests for Information), (d) Schedules, and (e) Other.

3. Chronology of events and correspondence related to the claim.

4. Statement of grounds for the claim.
-19-

5. Analysis of the claim’s cost, if any.

6. Analysis of the claim’s time/schedule impact, if any. (d) City’s Response. Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this Section, City shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim will be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement.
i. If the City needs approval from the City Council to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the City Council does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the City Council after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
ii. Within 30 days of receipt of a claim, the City may request in writing additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims the City may have against the Contractor. If additional information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided pursuant to this subdivision, upon mutual agreement of City and the Contractor. iii. The City’s written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to the Contractor within 30 days (if the claim is less than $50,000, within 15 days) after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested documentation, whichever is greater. (e) Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the City’s written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City’s response or within 15 days of the City’s failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.
(f) Mediation. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within ten (10) business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless the Parties agree to select a mediator at a later time.
i. If the Parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each Party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third Party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each Party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator.
-20-
ii. For purposes of this Section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third Party or board assists the Parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation.

Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this Section. iii. 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 Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. iv. All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed. (g) City’s Responses. The City’s failure to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this Section or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Section, shall not constitute and adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility of qualifications of the Contractor. City’s failure to respond shall not waive City’s rights to any subsequent procedures for the resolution of disputed claims.
(h) Government Code Claims. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, the Contractor must comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code Section 900 et seq. prior to filing any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, construction claims, and/or changed conditions, including any required mediation, have been followed by Contractor. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if the prerequisite contractual requirements are not satisfied, no action against the City may be filed. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date that Contractor completes all contractual prerequisites to filing a Government Code claim, including any required mediation. A Government Code claim shall be inclusive of all unresolved claims unless a new unrelated claim arises after the Government Code claim is submitted. For purposes of Government Code Section 900 et seq., the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time the Contractor submits his or her written claim to the City until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference or mediation that does not result in a complete resolutions of all claims.
(i) Civil Actions for Claims of $375,000 or Less. The following procedures are established for all civil actions filed to resolve claims totaling $375,000 or less:
i. Within 60 days, but no earlier than 30 days, following the filing or responsive pleadings, the court shall submit the matter to non-binding mediation unless waived by mutual stipulation of both Parties or unless mediation was held prior to commencement of the action in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 9204 and the procedures in this Section. The mediation process shall provide for the selection within 15 days by both Parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be commenced within 30 days of the submittal, and shall be concluded within 15 days from the commencement of the mediation unless a time requirement is extended upon a good cause showing to the court.
ii. If the matter remains in dispute, the case shall be submitted to judicial arbitration pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of -21-
Civil Procedure, notwithstanding Section 1141.11 of that code. The Civil Discovery Act of 1986 (Article 3 (commencing with Section 2016) of Chapter 3 of Title 3 of Part 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure) shall apply to any proceeding brought under this subdivision consistent with the rules pertaining to judicial arbitration.
iii. Upon stipulation of the Parties, arbitrators appointed for these purposes shall be experienced in construction law, and, upon stipulation of the Parties, mediators and arbitrators shall be paid necessary and reasonable hourly rates of pay not to exceed their customary rate, and such fees and expenses shall be paid equally by the Parties, except in the case of arbitration where the arbitrator, for good cause, determines a different division.
iv. In addition to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, any Party who after receiving an arbitration award requests a trial de novo but does not obtain a more favorable judgment shall, in addition to payment of costs and fees under that chapter, pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the other Party arising out of the trial de novo.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

AGENCY: CITY OF MCFARLAND - I
i
The purpose ofthis program isto provide assurance that the materials incorporated into the construction projects are in conformance with the contractspecifications. This program should be updated every five years or more frequent ifthere are changes of the testing frequencies or to the tests themselves. To accomplish this purpose, the following terms and definitions will be used:

DEFINITIONOFTERMS
• Acceptance Testing (AT) - Sampling and testing, or inspection, to determine the degree of compliance with contract requirements.

Independent Assurance Program (IAP) -Verification that ATis being performed correctly by qualified testers and laboratories.

Quality Assurance Program (OAP) - 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 ofa 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.

MATERIALSLABORATORY
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:

I. 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 certifiedby 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.
4 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 Attachment #1 (Appendix D, "Acceptance Sampling and Testing Frequencies" of the QAP Manual).

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 theResident Engineer within 96 hours after sampling.

When sampling products such as Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), cement-treated base (CTB), hot mix asphalt (HMA), and othersuch materials; the time ofsuch sampling shall be varied with respect to the time ofthe day insofar as possible, in orderto 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 or telephone.
5 TESTING OF MANUFACTURED MATERIALS
During theDesign phase ofthe project, theProject Engineer may submit a "Source Inspection Request" see Attachment#2 (Exhibit 16-VoftheLAPM)totheAgency, consultant, orCaltransforinspection 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 isfound in Attachment #3 (Appendix F of the QAP Manual). All certificates of compliance shall conform to the requirements ofthe contractspecifications,for examplessee Attachment #4 (Appendix J of the QAP Manual).

Should the Agency request Caltransto conduct the source inspection, and the request isaccepted, all sampling, testing, and acceptance ofmanufactured and prefabricated materials will be performed by Caltrans' Office of Materials Engineering andTestingServices.

ForFederal-aid projects on theNational Highway System (NHS),Caltrans will assist in certifying the materials laboratory, and the acceptance samplers and testers. For Federal-aid projects offtheNHS, Caltrans may beable 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 theResident Engineer. The Agency shall include a "Materials Certificate" in the Report of Expendituressubmitted 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.TheResident Engineer in charge ofthe construction function for theAgency shallsign 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. SeeAttachment# 5 for an example (Appendix KoftheQAP Manual).

RECORDS
All material records of samples and tests, material releases and certificates of compliance for the construction projectshall be incorporated intotheResident Engineer's projectfile.If a Federal-aid project:

The filesshall beorganized as described inSection 16.8"Project Files" oftheLocal Assistance Procedures Manual.

It isrecommended that thecomplete project file be available at a single location for inspection by Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)personnel.

The project filesshall be available for at least three yearsfollowing the date offinal project voucher.

The use of a "Log Summary," as shown in Appendix Hof the QAP Manual (See Attachment# 6), facilitates reviews of material sampling and testing byCaltrans and FHWA, and assiststhe Resident Engineer in tracking the frequency oftesting.

When two or more projects are being furnished identical materials simultaneously from the same plant, it is not necessary to take separate samples or separate tests for each project; however, copies of the test reports are to be pro i4@ or each ft e ro· ctst mpkte therecords.
