APPENDIX 5
GENERAL DESIGN-BUILD WORK REQUIREMENTS
5.1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Appendix is to set forth certain requirements for the performance of the Design-Build Work. The Design-Builder shall perform the Design-Build Work in accordance with the Contract Standards, including the requirements set forth in this Appendix.
5.2. MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
As needed, the Design-Builder shall hold meetings that are separate from and in addition to weekly Construction progress meetings described in Section 5.4.2 of this Appendix, and shall prepare correspondence and make any other arrangements as necessary to coordinate the Design-Build Work. The Design-Builder shall coordinate its activities with other contractors performing work at or near the Project Sites. The Design-Builder shall identify other construction contracts that may be in progress in close proximity to or bordering on the Project. The Design-Builder shall coordinate all Construction activities that could impact existing Utility services and installations (e.g., conduits, pipelines, transmission mains and other Utility equipment and appurtenances) with the Utilities, and shall coordinate, arrange for and/or implement any required utility relocations with the applicable utility, consistent with its Utility Relocation Plan. Coordination meetings may include review of the Design-Build Period Work Schedule and installation procedures of other contractors to identify potential conflicts, allocation of space on the Project Sites, drawing/design interchange among contractors, establishment and modification of schedules and sequences of Construction operations, and planning of future meetings.
5.3. DESIGN-BUILD PERIOD WORK SCHEDULE
5.3.1 Design-Build Period Work Schedule.
All activities comprising the Design-Build Work shall be scheduled and monitored by use of Microsoft Project or Primavera software which sets forth all tasks and key Tasks in a logical and efficient work sequence that the Design-Builder intends to utilize to plan, organize and execute design and Construction work in taking the Project from the Baseline Design Documents to Final Completion and Town operation, to record and report actual performance and progress, to show plans to complete all remaining activities as of the end of each progress report period, and to enable Town and its Owner Representative to monitor and evaluate work progress. If Primavera is used, the Design-Builder shall provide schedule information to the Town in both native and PDF format as directed by the Town.
The Design-Build Period Work Schedule shall be in the form of an activity oriented network diagram (Critical Path Method) and the principles and definitions of the terms used herein shall be as set forth in the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) publication The Use of CPM in Construction, 1976. In the event of discrepancies, this Appendix shall govern the development and utilization of the Design-Build Period Work Schedule.
The Design-Build Period Work Schedule shall be comprised of the cost and resource loaded Detailed Network Diagram and reports described herein. The Design-Build Period Work Schedule shall show the sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of all the work including design development, procurement, Construction, Substantial Completion and Final Completion. The Design-Build Period Work Schedule shall begin with the Contract Date, include milestones representing release of design packages for 472

Construction, include the Interim Construction Milestones, include milestones representing completion of Substantial Completion and conclude with a milestone representing Final Completion, in addition to any control milestones provided by the Town. [Note: Other milestones may be added based on Construction Phasing Plan and as part of GMP Amendment.]
The Design-Build Period Work Schedule shall be initially prepared and updated in accordance with Appendix 2 and further updated as required in accordance with this Appendix. The Design-Builder shall undertake and complete the Design-Build Work in accordance with the Design-Build Period Work Schedule. The Design-Builder shall develop, revise and provide all information and input necessary for the Design-Build Period Work Schedule required pursuant to this Appendix in accordance with the Contract Standards. The planning, scheduling, coordination and execution of the Design-Build Work are the sole responsibility of the DesignBuilder. The Scheduled Substantial Completion Date and the date for Final Completion shall not be changed in any updates without written permission from the Town in accordance with the Contract Documents.
5.3.2 Detailed Network Diagram
The Design-Build Period Work Schedule shall include a time-scaled “Detailed Network Diagram” based on calendar days. The Detailed Network Diagram shall be in Critical Path Method (the “CPM”) precedence format and shall show the sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of all items of work. A calendar shall be shown on all sheets along the entire sheet length. Each activity shall be plotted so that the beginning (and completion dates) of the activity can be determined graphically (by comparison) with the calendar scale.
The Detailed Network Diagram shall provide sufficient detail and clarity of form and technique so that the Design-Builder can plan, schedule, and control the Design-Build Work properly and the Town and its Owner Representative can readily monitor and follow progress for all portions of the Design-Build Work. The Detailed Network Diagram shall include all activities of the Design-Build Work. Critical path activities shall be identified, including critical paths for milestone dates.
The Detailed Network Diagram shall include the following information related to the activities:
Activity number.
Activity Description.
Estimated duration in working days.
Major materials and equipment acquisition and arrivals/departures at/from the Project.
The degree of detail of the Detailed Network Diagram shall consider the following factors:
Normal weather delays per season that would delay or affect the work plan using identified schedule buffer activities in the logic chain to the next control milestone in the logic chain
The type of work to be performed and the labor trades involved. All delivery activities for all major materials and equipment. A schedule for all submittals requiring outside or design Subcontractor approval, including allowed review response time, and logic linked to start of appropriate work items so that any resubmittal requirements shall adjust the start or ordering of the consequential work item(s)
473
Town of Paradise Sewer Project Appendix 5
General Design-Build Work
Requirements
A5-3
3840090.12 047018 CTR
Submittal and approval of shop and working drawings and material samples. Efforts and activities for all Subcontract work by discrete Subcontractor. Access and availability to work areas.
Test, submissions, and acceptance of test results.
Seasonal weather conditions shall be considered and included in the planning and scheduling of all work influenced by high or low ambient temperatures and/or precipitation to complete all Design-Build Work by the Final Completion date. Seasonal weather conditions shall be determined by an assessment of average historical climatic conditions based upon the preceding ten year records published for the locality by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration based on the Chico Army Flying School reporting station.
The Design-Builder may use labor or equipment restraints separately noted to optimize and level labor and equipment requirements. The individual activities involved may be sequenced within the limits of total float to the next control milestone in the logic chain. When this technique is used in establishing the working schedule, it shall be reflected in the logic.
Critical or near-critical paths developed from the use of labor restraints shall be kept to a minimum. Near-critical paths shall be defined as those paths having 14 calendar days or less of total float at time of initial submission.
The Design-Build Period Work Schedule (and any updates thereto) shall be submitted to the Town in hardcopy, pdf and native format.
5.3.3 Design-Build Period Work Schedule Updates.
The Design-Builder shall, as required from time to time during the Design-Build Period, but no less than once per calendar month, in consultation with the Town update the Design-Build Period Work Schedule so that it is at all times an accurate, reasonable and realistic representation of the Design-Builder's plans for the completion of the Design-Build Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Design-Builder shall submit schedule updates (in hard copy, pdf and native format) to the Town 3 business days in advance of the first progress meeting of each month.

ANTICIPATED DESIGN-BUILD PERIOD WORK COST SCHEDULE AND DESIGN-BUILDER
CONTINGENCY
GENERAL
The purpose of this Attachment is (1) to define the requirements for the Design-Builder’s preparation of the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule and the Design-Builder Contingency, which will be used as the basis for payments of the Design-Build Price pursuant to Article 9 of this Design-Build Contract, and (2) to describe the manner in which payment of the Design-Build Price will be made based on the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule and the Design-Builder Contingency.
EARLY DESIGN-BUILD WORK PACKAGES
As provided in Section 5.7(F) of this Design-Build Contract, the parties intend that each Early Design-Build Work Package Amendment will contain complete pricing for the Design-Build Work covered by the Early Design-Build Work Package, and that an estimated Design-Build Period Cost schedule and contingency will be established for such Early Design-Build Work Package separate and apart from the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule and Design-Builder Contingency established on the GMP Amendment Date for the balance of the Design-Build Work.
TOTAL ANTICIPATED DESIGN-BUILD PERIOD WORK COST SCHEDULE AMOUNT The sum of all amounts comprising the line items in the initial Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule shall be equal to the total amount of the reasonably estimated direct costs of achieving Substantial Completion and Final Completion, as such total amount of reasonably estimated costs is negotiated by the parties pursuant to Section 5.8(C) of this Design-Build Contract. The total Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule amount, and the line items in the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule, shall be adjusted appropriately by agreement of the parties to account for Base Guaranteed Maximum Price Adjustments.
DESIGN-BUILDER CONTINGENCY AMOUNT
The Design-Builder Contingency amount shall be a single stated dollar amount equal to the amount negotiated by the parties pursuant to Section 5.8(C)(2) of this Design-Build Contract.
SUM OF THE ANTICIPATED DESIGN-BUILD PERIOD WORK COST SCHEDULE AMOUNT,
THE DESIGN-BUILDER FEE AMOUNT, THE GENERAL CONDITIONS FEE AMOUNT AND
THE DESIGN-BUILDER CONTINGENCY AMOUNT
The sum of the total Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule amount, the associated Design-Builder Fee amount, the associated General Conditions Fee amount, the Design-Builder Contingency amount and the Specified Project Risk Contingency amount shall be equal to the Base Guaranteed Maximum Price.
PREPARATION OF THE ANTICIPATED DESIGN-BUILD PERIOD WORK COST SCHEDULE As part of the GMP Submittal, the Design-Builder shall prepare an Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule identifying, on a line item basis, costs of major items of Design525 Town of Paradise Sewer Project Appendix 8
Attachment 8D
Anticipated Stage 2 Design-Build Period Cost Schedule
and Design-Builder Contingency
3840090.12 047018 CTR
Build Work and other costs in accordance with this Attachment, and which shall include a Town Allowance, a Design-Builder Contingency and a Specified Project Risk Contingency, each separately stated as a block amount.
The Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule shall be consistent with the work scope and cost breakdown structure presented in the GMP Submittal, as negotiated and agreed to by the Town. The Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule shall assign prices to major elements of the Design-Build Work based on costs associated with scheduled activities for each such element.
The Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule shall:
(a) Be broken down by each major component of the Project, in accordance with the approved WBS, and show each specification division within each structure; and (a) Show the division of work between the Design-Builder and each of the Subcontractors.
The Design-Builder shall provide supporting data, including certified payrolls, as requested by the Town for any Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule item. The final Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule must be approved by the Town.
USE OF THE DESIGN-BUILDER CONTINGENCY
The Design-Builder Contingency shall be used for payment of Design-Build Period Costs only as provided in this Section. [Note: Use of line item savings and use of the Design-Builder Contingency will be subject to any conditions or limitations imposed by the Grants, and are TBD for the California State Water Resources Control Board grant.] In the event the cost for completing Design-Build Period Work described in any particular Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule line item exceeds the Anticipated DesignBuild Period Work Cost Schedule dollar amount listed for such line item, the Design-Builder shall have the right to request compensation for such excess amounts from any remaining balance in the Design-Builder Contingency. The Town shall respond to any such request within 15 days of receipt of such request. If the Town approves such request, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, then the Design-Builder shall receive such excess amounts from any line item savings and only after exhaustion of all line item savings amounts, from any remaining balance in the Design-Builder Contingency; provided, however, that the Design-Builder shall not need prior written approval for amounts under $50,000. If and when the Design-Builder Contingency has been fully used in compensating the Design-Builder for such excess amounts, the Design-Builder shall not be entitled to any compensation for costs of Design-Build Work exceeding the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule line item relating to such cost (except as provided below in “Use of Line Item Savings”), notwithstanding the fact that the Design-Builder has paid or incurred Design-Build Period Costs in excess of such line item in the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule; provided, however, that upon Final Completion the Design-Builder shall be entitled to request and to receive compensation for such excess Design-Build Period Costs to the extent that payment of such costs does not cause the Design-Build Period Costs to exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Price.
The Design-Builder shall keep and provide the Town with an ongoing record of the original amount of the Design-Builder Contingency, all uses thereof under this Appendix, and the remaining balance of the Design-Builder Contingency at any time. The Design-Builder shall 526
Town of Paradise Sewer Project Appendix 8
Attachment 8D

provide the Town with notice of all anticipated charges against the Design-Builder Contingency, and shall provide the Town as part of the monthly status report all reasonably foreseeable potential uses of the Design-Builder Contingency in the upcoming three month period. Any use of the Design-Builder Contingency must be clearly identified in the associated Payment Request.
USE OF LINE ITEM SAVINGS
In administering payment of the Design-Build Price based on the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule line items, the parties acknowledge that the Design-Build Period Costs associated with any particular line item may be less than the dollar amount provided for such line item in the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule. If the Design-Build Period Costs associated with a particular Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule line item are less than the dollar amount provided for such line item in the Anticipated DesignBuild Period Work Cost Schedule, subject to the following sentence, the dollar value associated with the line item cost underage shall be available to be paid to the Design-Builder in the event the Design-Build Period Costs associated with another particular line item exceed the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule dollar amount listed for such line item.
Such line item savings amounts shall be in addition to any Design-Builder Contingency amounts that may be available to pay such Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule line item excess costs; provided, however, that in any event line item savings shall be used prior to Design-Builder Contingency amounts.
DAMAGE TO THE PROJECT AND INSURANCE RECOVERIES
The costs of repairing any damage to the Project constitute Design-Build Period Costs, and (1) are payable to the Design-Builder as part of the Design-Build Period Costs, as provided in Section 8.3 of this Appendix, (2) shall result in an appropriate revision of the Anticipated Design-Build Period Work Cost Schedule, and (3) shall result in a Base Guaranteed Maximum Price Adjustment, as provided in Section 8.7.3 of this Appendix. All recoveries under policies of Required Insurance on account of any damage to the Project shall be applied to the payment of such repair costs, as provided in Section 6.17 and Article 13 of this Design-Build Contract.
SUBCONTRACTOR AND SURETY RECOVERIES
A substantial portion of the Construction of the Project is expected to be performed by Construction Subcontractors. The risks of delay and non-performance by Subcontractors are borne by the Design-Builder, and costs incurred by the Design-Builder that result from the occurrence of such risks constitute Design-Build Period Costs payable by the Town from the Design-Builder Contingency hereunder, subject to the Guaranteed Maximum Price. All payments from the Design-Builder Contingency for costs incurred as a result of the occurrence of the risk of Subcontractor delay or non-performance shall be separately identified and recorded. In the event the Design-Builder, in the exercise of its mitigation duties under this Design-Build Contract, receives any judgment or settlement awards or otherwise makes any financial recoveries from Subcontractors or their guarantors or sureties on account of any such delays or non-performance, the amounts so received (net of reasonable enforcement costs), whether before or after Final Completion, shall be paid by the Design-Builder first to the Town, up to the amount of any Design-Builder Contingency payments made due to the occurrence of such risks. Any remaining amounts then may be retained by the Design-Builder for its own account. The obligation of the Design-Builder to take such mitigation measures and to make such payments to the Town shall survive termination of this Design-Build Contract. 527

Council Agenda Summary
Date: March 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(b)
ORIGINATED BY: Colette Curtis, Recovery and Economic
Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Chico Regional Airport Investment Opportunity
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
Yes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Consider directing staff to enter into an agreement with the City of Chico to provide an investment of $75,000 to the Chico Airport Revenue Guarantee Fund; and,
2. Direct staff to enter into an agreement with Adventist Health Feather River Foundation to accept $75,000 in matching funds, contingent upon approval by Adventist Health Feather River Foundation; and
3. Direct Staff to transmit a total investment of $150,000, contingent on matching funds approval, to the City of Chico Airport Revenue Guarantee Fund; or,
4. Provide alternate direction. (ROLL CALL VOTE)
Background:
At the February Council meeting, Town Council heard a presentation from the Chico Airport Manager offering an investment opportunity for the Chico Airport Revenue Guarantee Fund. As part of the renewed effort to restore air service to the region, the Chico Airport requires a Revenue Guarantee Fund of $1.5 Million to begin negotiations with airlines in earnest.
The Airport Manager reports they are anticipating the airport will provide 2 flights per day to LAX, will offer plane sizes between 50-160 seats, and have a goal of active flight service by Fall of 2025. Once operational, it is expected the airport will see 700 or more passengers per day, bringing 15,000 new visitors to the region each year in addition to the daily travel of local residents.
A conservative estimate of the financial impact to the region is estimated at $10 Million in regional benefit per year.
Reestablishing air service in the region provides a benefit to Paradise residents and businesses.
The availability of a nearby airport is a factor in the decision to relocate to Paradise, and during recovery Paradise is interested in supporting these types of services for residents. The investment opportunity presented at the February Council meeting also includes marketing space in the Chico Airport.
558
Analysis:
An investment into the Revenue Guarantee Fund would benefit the Town of Paradise and our residents in two ways.
1. The ultimate restoration of commercial air service, which cannot be accomplished without the Revenue Guarantee Fund, is an important factor in the attraction of residents and businesses to Paradise. When families are making the decision of where to relocate, access to air travel is a factor that influences that decision.
According to the recent Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce marketing study, residents of the Sacramento area, Bay Area, and southern California area are all interested in Paradise as an affordable place to raise a family. Residents from those areas are used to the ability to access air travel within a short distance, and having air service in nearby Chico would make Paradise a viable option.
Additionally, businesses in our region need the Chico airport for their operations and to attract employees to the area. Paradise has long served as workforce housing for the region, and now has the opportunity to regain those households as businesses recruit from outside the area, with the benefits Paradise provides for families, including small town feel, affordable housing, great schools, and a beautiful location.
2. An investment into the Revenue Guarantee Fund also provides the Town of Paradise marketing real estate within the Chico Airport which could be used to target local residents and visitors to move to Paradise. The majority of residents moving to Paradise come from other areas of Butte County, with Chico providing the most residents. Town advertising in the Chico Airport would target local residents traveling out of and back home to the Chico Airport, offering Paradise as a great local alternative for those looking to relocate. The investment into the Revenue Guarantee Fund would ensure advertising real estate in the airport for an indefinite period, meaning the value of that investment is high overtime.
The Chico Airport Manager estimates restored air travel will see 700 travelers per day through the Chico Airport. Assuming this is true, over the course of the next five years, Town advertising would be seen by over 1.2 million people.
Staff Recommendation:
Given the significant benefits to the Town of Paradise for repopulation efforts after the fire to sustain the Town’s tax base and provide the highest quality of life possible for our residents, staff recommends Council invest $75,000 into the Revenue Guarantee Fund.
Staff has requested matching funds for this investment from Adventist Health Feather River Health Foundation to bring the total investment into the fund to $150,000. Adventist Health Feather River Health Foundation is considering this this request and if approved, will provide the funds to the Town of Paradise to match the Town’s $75,000 investment bringing the total contribution to $150,000.
Financial Impact:
This investment of $75,000 would impact the Town’s General Fund. Contingent on approval, the $75,000 matching funds from Adventist Health Feather River Foundation would be received by the Town and transmitted to the Chico Airport Revenue Guarantee Fund. 559
The investment opportunity has been presented as a one-time investment towards the Revenue Guarantee Fund, however any content for the advertising space, and the periodic updating of that content would be an additional cost.
The Chico airport has asked for a 25% deposit upon approval of the investment, with the remainder of the investment paid upon execution of an agreement with an airline. It is expected the negotiation and agreement process with the airline will take 6-12 months to complete. 560

BUDGET DETAILS AND PAYMENT PROVISIONS
1. Availability of Funds
The Department’s provision of funding to Subrecipient pursuant to this Agreement is contingent on the availability of CDBG-DR funds and continued federal and state authorization for CDBG-DR activities and is subject to amendment or termination due to lack of funds or authorization. Availability of CDBG-DR funds is subject to the HUD requirement to spend 80% of grant-wide DR program funds in the MID and 70% of grant-wide DR funds for LMI benefit, unless HUD issues waivers and/or alternative requirements (along with any required and approved Action Plan Amendments), in which case the Department will enter into an amendment with the Subrecipient to provide as such.
The Department shall be relieved of any obligation for making payments to the Subrecipient if funds allocated to the State of California by HUD cease to be available for any reason or there is any limitation on, or withdrawal of, the Department’s authority to administer the CDBG-DR program or any portion thereof.
2. Expenditure of Funds
A. No Activity costs may be incurred, funds reimbursed, or choice-limiting actions taken until and unless Subrecipient provides documented compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) requirements established in 24 CFR 50, 24 CFR 58, and 42 USC 4321, et seq. and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 – 15387.
Activity Delivery costs may be incurred prior to documented NEPA and CEQA compliance. See Section 3(A)(3) below for reimbursement requirements of Activity Delivery costs.
B. Priority of Use of Funds
The Subrecipient must utilize funds available under this Agreement to supplement rather than supplant funds otherwise available. To the extent available, the Subrecipient must disburse funds available to the Approved Project from, among other sources, Subrecipient funding, third-party loans or grants, contract settlements, audit recoveries, insurance and condemnation proceeds and interest earned on such funds before requesting or receiving Grant Funds.
C. Withholding Funds

D. Deobligation of Funds
The Subrecipient agrees that Grant Funds determined by the Department to be surplus upon completion of an Approved Project(s) will be subject to deobligation (i.e., removed from the Subrecipient Allocation amount in this Agreement) and/or reallocation by the Department. Subrecipient also agrees that if funds are not obligated to Approved Projects by milestones outlined in Exhibit F, the remaining funds will be subject to deobligation and/or reallocation by the Department.
E. Indirect Costs
The Department will only consider reimbursement of indirect cost expenditures from Subrecipients that have an approved Indirect Cost Rate Proposal from the Department, HUD or other cognizant federal agency. If Subrecipient does not have an approved Indirect Cost Rate Proposal, Subrecipient shall develop a proposal for determining the appropriate CDBG-DR share of indirect costs and shall submit it to the Department for approval prior to submission of Financial Reports for reimbursement of indirect cost expenditures.
F. Compliance with the OMB Uniform Guidance Audit Requirements Grant Funds will not be disbursed to any Subrecipients identified by the State Controller's Office (SCO) as non-compliant with the Federal Single Audit Act, as described in the OMB Uniform Guidance and 2 CFR Part 200 Sub-Part F. No funds may be disbursed until compliance with the Uniform Guidance is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Department.
