1.4 PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENT
A. All Contractors and Subcontractors performing services under this Contract shall pay their employees providing such services a minimum hourly prevailing wage rate as further described below.
B. In case of conflict between the Prevailing Wage as specified in this Section and any Federal Minimum Wage that may be specified elsewhere in these Specifications, the higher of the two shall prevail. Any amendments to the Federal Minimum Wage Determination issued up to 10 days prior to the bid opening date will become the part of the contract documents.
C. The Contractor and any subcontractor under the Contractor shall comply with Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775. Pursuant to Section 1775, the Contractor and any subcontractor under the Contractor shall forfeit to the State or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded a penalty of not more than fifty dollars ($50) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the contract by the Contractor or by any subcontractor under the Contractor in violation of the requirements of the Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive. The amount of this forfeiture shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner and shall be based on consideration of the mistake, inadvertence, or neglect of the Contractor or subcontractor in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages, or the previous record of the Contractor or subcontractor in meeting their respective prevailing wage obligations, or the willful failure by the Contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages. A mistake, inadvertence, or neglect in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages is not excusable if the Contractor or subcontractor had knowledge of the obligations under the Labor Code.
In addition to the penalty and pursuant to Labor Code Section 1775, the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the Contractor or subcontractor. If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not liable for the penalties described above unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
1. The contract executed between the contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of work on the public works project shall include a copy of the requirements in Sections 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813 and 1815 of the Labor Code.
2. The contractor shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor to the employees, by periodic review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor.
3. Upon becoming aware of the subcontractor's failure to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to the subcontractor's workers, the contractor shall diligently take
SHIELDS REID PARK IMPROVEMENTS
CITY OF RICHMOND
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS 00 10 00 - 7
corrective action to halt or rectify the failure, including, but not limited to, retaining sufficient funds due the subcontractor for work performed on the public works project.
4. Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor for work performed on the public works project, the contractor shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the subcontractor that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to the subcontractor's employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Section 1813 of the Labor Code.
D. Pursuant to Section 1775 of the Labor Code, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall notify the Contractor on a public works project within 15 days of the receipt by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of a complaint of the failure of a subcontractor on that public works project to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages. If the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement determines that employees of a subcontractor were not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if the Department did not retain sufficient money under the contract to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, the contractor shall withhold an amount of moneys due the subcontractor sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if requested by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. The Contractor shall pay any money retained from and owed to a subcontractor upon receipt of notification by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement that the wage complaint has been resolved. If notice of the resolution of the wage complaint has not been received by the Contractor within 180 days of the filing of a valid notice of completion or acceptance of the public works project, whichever occurs later, the Contractor shall pay all moneys retained from the subcontractor to the Department. These moneys shall be retained by the Department pending the final decision of an enforcement action.
E. Pursuant to the requirements in Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the City has obtained the general prevailing rate of wages (which rate includes employer payments for health and welfare, pension, vacation, travel time and subsistence pay as provided for in Section 1773.8 of the Labor Code, apprenticeship or other training programs authorized by Section 3093 of the Labor Code, and similar purposes) applicable to the work to be done, for straight time, overtime, Saturday, Sunday and holiday work. The holiday wage rate listed shall be applicable to all holidays recognized in the collective bargaining agreement of the particular craft, classification or type of workmen concerned.
F. The general prevailing wage rates and any applicable changes to these wage rates are available from the California Department of Industrial Relations' Internet Web Site at: http://www.dir.ca.gov.
G. The wage rates determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the project refer to expiration dates. Prevailing wage determinations with a single asterisk after the expiration date are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids and are good for the life of the contract. Prevailing wage determinations with double asterisks after the expiration date indicate that the wage rate to be paid for work performed after this date has been determined. If work is to extend past this date, the new rate shall be paid and incorporated in the contract. The Contractor shall contact the Department of
SHIELDS REID PARK IMPROVEMENTS
CITY OF RICHMOND
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS 00 10 00 - 8
Industrial Relations as indicated in the wage rate determinations to obtain predetermined wage changes.
H. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the Labor Code, general prevailing wage rates shall be posted by the Contractor at a prominent place at the site of the work.
I. Changes in general prevailing wage determinations which conform to Labor Code Section 1773.6 and Title 8 California Code of Regulations Section 16204 shall apply to the project when issued by the Director of Industrial Relations at least 10 days prior to the date of the Notice to Contractors for the project.
J. The City of Richmond will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor of any wage rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate set forth in the contract. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining the bid, and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City on the contract.
1.5 CONTRACT BONDS
A. General

Care shall be taken to assure that the payment bond includes the precise provisions which Section 3248, Subsection (b) of the California Civil Code requires. A sample payment bond is enclosed, see Section 00 60 00.

submittal and review period continue for more than forty-five (45) days. If, after forty-five (45) days the Contractor has not provided evidence of insurance and bond coverage meeting the requirements of the City, the City shall terminate the contract and may either award the work to the next lowest responsive responsible bidder or issue a new request for bids. (If the City issues a new request for bids, the Contractor shall be disqualified from re-bidding the work because of the failure to provide timely proof of insurance and/or bond coverage.) No work shall be initiated on the Project prior to Contractor’s receipt of the City’s approval of evidence of insurance coverage related to the construction of the Project.
(c) Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors or other parties hired for the Project purchase and maintain coverage for indemnity and insurance at least as broad as specified in the Project Specifications to the extent they apply to the scope of the subcontractor’s work with the same certificate of insurance requirements and naming as additional insureds all parties to this Agreement. Contractor shall include the following language in their agreement with subcontractors: “Subcontractors hired by Contractor agree to be bound to Contractor and City in the same manner and to the same extent as Contractor is bound to City under the Contract Documents and provide a valid certificate of insurance and the required endorsements included in the agreement as proof of compliance prior to commencement of any work and to include this same requirement for any subcontractors they hire for this work. A copy of the insurance and indemnity requirements of the Contract Documents will be furnished to the subcontractor upon request.” Contractor shall have furnished the City with evidence of the insurance coverage meeting the insurance requirements set forth in Project Specifications for each subcontractor prior to initiating any work on the Project, including Builder’s Risk insurance with appropriate coverage for the cost of construction. The periods for submittal, review and approval shall apply as stated in subparagraph (b) above.
(d) The Parties agree that notwithstanding the time requirements set forth in this subsection for submittal and resubmittal to the City by the Contractor of the evidence of insurance and review and approval of the evidence of insurance by the City, Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the evidence of insurance in approvable form is submitted to the City in a timely manner.
(e) Any available insurance proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits set forth in the Project Specifications shall be available to the City as an additional insured. Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in the Project Specifications; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds available to the named insured, whichever is greater. No representation is made that the minimum insurance requirements set forth in the Project Specifications are sufficient to cover the obligations of the Contractor under this Agreement. (f) Contractor shall maintain the insurance requirements set forth in the Project Specifications for a minimum of five (5) years following the completion of the Project. In the event Contractor fails to obtain or maintain completed operations coverage as required by the Project Specifications, the City at its sole discretion may purchase the coverage required and the cost for the same shall be paid by Contractor upon demand by the City. 6 2018_Final Form
Section 1.10 Security In Lieu of Retention.
(a) The City shall retain five percent (5%) of the sum requested in each progress payment unless the Contractor elects to invoke the procedures set forth at California Public Contract Code 22300 to substitute securities to ensure performance under the contract.
1. At the request and the expense of the Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in the state as escrow agent, who shall then pay the retained funds to the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor.
2. Alternatively, the Contractor may request and the City shall make payment of retentions earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the Contractor.

Each of the following shall constitute a “Default” by Contractor under this Agreement:
(a) Breach of Covenants. Failure by Contractor or any subcontractor to duly perform, comply with, or observe any of the conditions, terms, or covenants of any of the Contract Documents.

If the Contractor cures the breach within the time specified in the notice or, if the breach cannot be cured in the time specified but the Contractor has diligently pursued measures to cure the breach and to keep the City informed of its progress, then the breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.
(b) Disregard of Laws. Disregard of laws, rules, regulations, directions or instructions of City by Contractor or any subcontractor with respect to the performance of work. (c) Insolvency. A court having jurisdiction shall have made or entered any decree or order (i) adjudging Contractor to be bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Contractor or seeking any arrangement for Contractor under the bankruptcy law or any other applicable debtor’s relief law or statute of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction, (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee of Contractor in bankruptcy or insolvency or for any of their properties, (iv) directing the winding up or liquidation of Contractor if any such decree or order described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive, shall have continued unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days; or (v) Contractor shall have admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due or shall have voluntarily submitted to or filed a petition seeking any decree or order of the nature described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive.

Section 2.2 Remedies.
The occurrence of any Default hereunder following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue payments and shall give the City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Specific Performance. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Contractor to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Right of Contest. Contractor shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion of which would constitute a Default hereunder.

No right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of the Contract Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each and every such right, power, or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or otherwise against Contractor and any other person. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the City to exercise any such rights and remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the City of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement.

1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;
2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered; which adjustment may be a negotiated lump sum amount, agreed unit price, or paid under Section 9-1.04 “Force Account” of the 2015 State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications; and

(d) Where the City requests, a performance bond rider covering the changed work must be executed and delivered to the City before proceeding with the changed work, or shortly in time thereafter.
(e) The Department Head or his or her representative has the authority to approve Change Orders with a cumulative dollar value of up to ten percent (10%) of the contract price.
Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project. Pursuant to Section 9204 (d)(5) of the Public Contract Code, however, Contractor may present a claim on behalf of a subcontractor for work which was performed by that subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. Such claim shall have been reviewed and evaluated by Contractor prior to submission to the City. 12 2018_Final Form
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should Contractor have a claim against the City, as the term “claim” is defined in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER (each, a “Claim”), then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, and such Claim shall be resolved as set forth below. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment.
Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section 3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim.
Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. (d) Administration After Claim Submittal.
1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (or any extension thereof mutually agreed upon by City and Contractor, or any such greater time to respond afforded City under Section 9204(d)(1)(C) of the Public Contract Code) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.
2. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or if City fails to respond to a Claim within the time prescribed, Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, City will schedule a meet and confer conference within thirty (30) days for settlement of the dispute.
3. Within ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, City will 13 2018_Final Form
provide 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 will be processed and made within sixty (60) days after City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. 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. If City and Contractor 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. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to Section 3.3(f) of this Agreement.
4. Failure by City to respond to a Claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code or to otherwise comply with the time requirements of that section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise comply with the time requirements of Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant filing the Claim.
5. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
(f) Compliance
1. The provisions of this Section 3.3 constitute a non-judicial claim settlement procedure that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 930.2, shall constitute a condition precedent to the submittal of a valid claim under the California Government Code. Any Government Code claims alleging disputed work must affirmatively indicate prior compliance with this Section 3.3. In accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 1.10.010(b), all Government Code claims must be presented no later than the 100th day after the earlier of (i) the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.
2. Failure to submit and administer Claims as required in Section 3.3 shall waive Contractor’s right to compensation for any disputed work not included in a timely Claim. Disputes not raised in a timely protest and timely Claim submitted under this Section 3.3 may not be asserted in any subsequent Government Code claim, administrative hearing, or civil action. 14 2018_Final Form
3. City shall not be deemed to waive any provision under this Section 3.3 if, at City’s sole discretion, a Claim is administered in a manner not in accord with this Section 3.3.

The indemnification obligations of Contractor and its subcontractors shall extend to Actions asserted after termination of this Agreement for whatever reason for the full period of time allowed by law.
(b) In Actions against any person or entity indemnified under Section 3.4(a) above by an employee of Contractor or its subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any one of them or anyone for whose acts one of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Section 3.4(a) above shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation of benefits payable under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.

Section 3.12 Force Majeure.

Any extension of time granted to Contractor to perform any obligation under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or release from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

The Contractor shall then undertake "potholing" procedures as described herein below.
B. Methodology for potholing shall be determined by location and shall be approved by the Engineer prior to starting work. Potholing methodology shall not disturb surrounding facilities, pavements, structures, vegetation, or other existing elements beyond what is necessary for the potholing location.
C. If a utility owner is not equipped to provide the locating service, the Contractor shall provide for it. The location of said underground pipes and conduits shall be clearly marked on the pavement or with suitable markers if not on pavement. In addition to the location of metallic pipes and conduits, non-metallic pipe, ducts and conduits shall also be similarly located using surface indicators and shall then be similarly marked.
D. As soon as the utility survey is completed, and prior to setting grades or commencing fabrication of engineered pipe, the Contractor shall commence "potholing" to determine the actual location of the pipe, duct or conduit. The Contractor shall uncover all underground utilities, including sewers and storm drains, exercising extreme care so as to avoid drainage. It will be the Contractor’s responsibility to have repairs made to existing facilities at his/her expense in the event of damage. Underground utilities shall be uncovered to a point one (1) foot below the pipe or as directed by the Engineer, where crossing, interferences or connections are shown on the drawings, prior to the preparation of shop drawings, trenching or excavating for any pipe or structure, in order to determine actual elevations. Once uncovered, the Contractor shall record the depth of the utility at the pothole and clearly mark the depth on the pavement. Any variation in the actual elevations and the indicated elevations shall be brought to the Engineer's attention.
E. Excavations around underground electrical ducts and conduits shall be performed using extreme caution to prevent injury or damage to workers and the electrical ducts or conduits. Similar precautions shall be exercised around gas line, telephone, and television cables.
F. Where an underground utility is at variance with the Plans the contractor shall proceed as follows:

• Marked utility not shown on the Plans: If a utility is not shown on the Plans but marked in the field by the utility owner, the Contractor shall pothole the utility and proceed with the work providing the utility is not in conflict with the line or grade of the pipeline to be laid and report the discrepancy to the District.
• Utility shown on the Plans but not marked: If a utility is shown on the Plans, but not marked by the utility company or marked in a different location, then the Contractor shall consult with the utility company, pothole the utility, and then proceed with the work providing the utility is not in conflict with the foundation or grade of the pipeline to be laid.
• Unmarked utility: If a utility is not marked by the utility company and the contractor encounters it, then the contractor shall immediately notify the District and the utility company. The Contractor shall proceed with the work if the utility is not in conflict with the line or grade of the pipeline to be installed.
G. After the need for potholing is complete, the Contractor shall backfill the potholing location.

3.06 CLEANING
A. Remove debris and surplus materials from site upon completion of the Work, and dispose of in legal manner.
3.07 SUBGRADE PREPARATION
A. Subgrades beneath slabs, or pavement (including sidewalks) should be checked for the presence of soils with a Plasticity Index (PI) greater than 15, which is generally indicative of soil that is potentially expansive. Any subgrade soils with a PI greater than 15 should be over-excavated and replaced with compacted Select Fill, as indicated in the Geotechnical Investigation Report (A3Geo Oct-2023).
B. Subgrade preparation for project improvements should be according to the following:
• Fill – prior to placement of new fill, scarify to a depth of six inches, moisture condition, and re-compact to create a firm and unyielding subgrade. • Utility Trenches – bottom of trench should be firm and unyielding subgrade. Soft or yielding subgrade soils should be compacted or excavated to a depth adequate to expose firm, non-yielding materials. Alternatively, unsuitable subgrade may be replaced with CLSM or a 6-inch thick layer of 3/4-inch drain rock wrapped in filter fabric.
• Exterior Flatwork and Pavements – scarify to a depth of six inches, or the full depth of any existing shrinkage cracks, moisture condition, and re-compact to create a firm and unyielding subgrade. Where an 18-inch-thick zone of Select Fill will be placed beneath flatwork or pavement, the scarification can be omitted and instead subgrade preparation should consist of proof rolling or similar method to
SHIELDS REID PARK IMPROVEMENTS
CITY OF RICHMOND
EARTHWORK 32 10 00 - 5
demonstrate firm and unyielding subgrade prior to placement of the Select Fill.
3.08 NEW FILL PLACEMENT
A. New fills (including General Fill and Select Fill) should be spread in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in uncompacted thickness on surfaces that are approximately level, moisture conditioned as appropriate, and compacted by mechanical means to the required levels of compaction. It is the responsibility of the contractor to select a compaction method compatible with the type of soil being placed (e.g. clayey soils may require different compaction methods than Select Fill). It is possible that fill and/or subgrade materials may be excessively wet or dry depending on the moisture content at the time of construction. If the fill soils are too wet, they may be dried by aeration or by mixing with drier materials. If the fill soils are too dry, water will need to be added. The Engineer shall observe and test, as appropriate, compaction during fill placement to verify that specified compaction and moisture conditioning requirements are met.
New fills should be firm, unyielding, and compacted to the following requirements (per ASTM D-1557 Test Methods):
• General Fill: moisture content between 2 and 5 percent over optimum and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction.
• Select Fill: moisture content near optimum and compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction.
• Aggregate Base: moisture content near optimum and compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction.
For permanent fill slopes in soil, we recommend a maximum inclination of 2:1 (H:V).
When constructing permanent fill slopes, the contractor shall excavate a series of horizontal benches in competent soil approved by the Engineer as filling proceeds.
The final slopes shall be constructed as terraced fills upon a stable subgrade. Upon completion of the fill construction, the outboard face of the fill should be cut back to provide a firm, uniform slope.
3.09 UTILITIES AND TRENCH BACKFILL
A. Trench excavation bottoms should be stable and unyielding. Utility trenches should be backfilled with fill placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in uncompacted thickness.
Trenches should be filled by placing a granular shading layer beneath and around the pipe, and then 6 to 12 inches of shading should be carefully placed and tamped above the pipe. The remaining portion of the trench should be backfilled with as indicated in the plans. If imported granular soil is used, sufficient water should be added during the trench backfilling operations to prevent the soil from “bulking” during compaction. All compaction operations should be performed by mechanical means only. Jetting is not allowed.
The Engineer shall observe utility trench subgrade and backfilling and test compaction, as appropriate, to confirm and document that the work was performed in accordance with the specifications and the intent of the geotechnical investigation report.

TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL 31 23 24 - 9
E. Add water to the backfill material or dry the material as necessary to obtain the optimum moisture content for the compaction shown on the Drawings or specified. If the Owner’s Representative determines that the nature of the ground in which the trench lies precludes compaction of the backfill to the specified density, the backfill shall be compacted to the maximum practicable density. Employ such means as may be necessary to secure a uniform moisture content throughout the material of each layer being compacted. After the material has been moisture conditioned, compact it with compaction equipment approved by the Owner’s Representative to achieve specified compaction. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining the densities specified. Should the Contractor fail, through negligence or otherwise, to compact to specified density, or to backfill and compact to surface grade, thus permitting saturation of the backfill material from rains or from any other source, the faulty material shall be removed and replaced with approved material which shall be compacted to the specified density at optimum moisture content, and no additional payment will be made for doing such work or removal and replacement.
F. Compaction by flooding, ponding or jetting will not be permitted.
3.07 CONTROLLED DENSITY FILL (CDF)
A. Trench Backfill:
1. Contractor can choose to backfill trench with CDF in place of Class II Aggregate Base. (See trench sections on drawings.)
2. CDF shall be placed into the trench so that the CDF is placed evenly to prevent uneven loading of the pipe. CDF shall not be placed directly onto the pipe. The maximum depth of the first lift of CDF shall not allow the pipe to move or float.
Subsequent lifts of CDF shall be placed so that that pipe does not shift or float.
CDF placed in trenches with steep slopes shall be placed in lifts to prevent flotation of the pipe, and the Contractor shall install approved sand bags as needed to secure the pipe in place during placement of the CDF.
3. The maximum temperature of the CDF shall be 74°F at the time of placement. The minimum temperature of the CDF shall be 40°F at the time of placement. CDF shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 6 inches. Each lift shall be allowed to cure long enough to lose its fluid properties before placing the next lift.
3.08 SUPPORT OF EXCAVATIONS
A. Adequately support excavation for trenches and structures to meet all applicable requirements in the current rules, orders and regulations. Excavation shall be adequately shored, braced and sheeted so that the earth will not slide or settle and so that all existing structures and all new pipe and structures will be fully protected from damage. Keep vehicles, equipment and materials far enough from the excavation to prevent instability.
B. Take all necessary measures to protect excavations and adjacent improvements from running, caving, boiling, settling, or sliding soil resulting from the high groundwater table and the nature of the soil excavated. Attention is directed to Section 832 of the Civil Code of the State of California relating to lateral and subjacent supports, and wherever structures or improvements adjacent to the excavation may be damaged by such excavation, the Contractor shall comply with this law.
