Location: District 5

Additional Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Staff recommends Council award a construction contract to Baran Electric, to install electrical improvements at the Med Center Reservoir. The new electrical gear will increase the reliability of the facility and reduce the amount of maintenance.
Med Center Reservoir is a 3 million-gallon drinking water reservoir operated by the City of Sacramento (City) to provide storage and pressure to the City water distribution system. This facility was built in 1936 and is located near UC Davis Medical Center.
The Department of Utilities best practice guideline is to replace the existing electrical switchgear on a 30-year cycle. The existing switchgear was rehabilitated in 1998, therefore this switchgear is near its expected life cycle replacement. Because of its age, the electrical equipment is difficult to maintain, and replacement parts are no longer available.
File ID: 2025-00835 4/22/2025 Item 15.
The proposed contract will equip the facility with new electrical switchgear and motor control centers which will improve the reliability of the facility. These new improvements will make the facility more reliable, requiring less maintenance from City staff.
Policy Considerations: City Council approval is required to award construction contracts of $250,000 or more. The action requested conforms with City Code Chapter 3.60, Articles I and III, which provide for award of competitively bid contacts to the lowest responsible bidder.
Economic Impacts: This project is expected to create 3.80 total jobs (2.18 direct jobs and 1.61 jobs through indirect and induced activities) and create $586,118.70 in total economic output ($369,435.09 of direct output and another $216,683.60 of output through indirect and induced activities).
The indicated economic impacts are estimates calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impacts could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.
Environmental Considerations: This project was reviewed and determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project includes: the operation, repair, and minor alteration of existing facilities and mechanical equipment used to provide public utility services involving negligible expansion of use (CEQA Guidelines 15301(b)); and replacement of existing electrical gear involving negligible expansion of capacity (CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (c)).
Sustainability: The proposed project is consistent with the 2040 General Plan under policy PFS-
3.10 as it improves infrastructure reliability, by increasing the reliability of the facility.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The project was advertised, and four bids were received and opened on February 19, 2025. Baran Electric was the lowest responsible bidder.
The bid results are as follows:
Contractor Amount
Baran Electric $949,280.00
Lords Electric, Inc. $1,280,000.00
Ample Electric, Inc. $1,550,872.72
The Design Build Inc. $1,343,900.00
File ID: 2025-00835 4/22/2025 Item 15.
The Engineer’s construction cost estimate was $965,000.00.
Financial Considerations: Sufficient funds exist in the Reservoir Rehab Program (Parent Project Z14130500, Fund 6005) to award a contract to Baran Electric for an amount not-to-exceed $949,280.00.
There are no General Funds allocated or planned for this project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Baran Electric is a LBE.

The contractor and all subcontractors shall comply with the rates of wages currently established by the Director of Industrial Relations under provisions of Sections 1773 of the Labor Code of the State of California, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and available to any interested party on request. In accordance with Sacramento City Code Section 3.60.180 and Section 1771.5 of the California Labor Code, the payment of the general prevailing rate of per diem wages or the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime is not required for any construction project of $25,000 or less, or an alteration, demolition, repair, and maintenance project of $15,000 or less. The City of Sacramento has an approved Labor Compliance Program. The City uses an electronic system for the submission of Labor Compliance Reports, which became effective May 1, 2007. The contractor and every lower-tier subcontractor shall submit certified payrolls and labor compliance documentation electronically at the discretion of and in the manner specified by the City of Sacramento.
Electronic submittal is via a web-based system, accessed on the World Wide Web by a web browser. Each contractor and subcontractor is given a Log On identification and password to access the City of Sacramento’s reporting system.
Use of the system may entail additional data entry of weekly payroll information including employee identification, labor classification, total hours worked and hours worked on this project, wage and benefit rates paid, etc. The contractor’s payroll and accounting software might be capable of generating a ‘comma delimited file’ that will interface with the software.
Department of Industrial Relations Registration and Reporting Requirements (SB 854)
Labor Code Section 1725.5 (enacted by SB 854) requires all contractors bidding on this contract, all subcontractors listed in a bid for this contract, and any contractor or subcontractor performing any work under this contract, to be currently registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in Labor Code Section 1725.5. Labor Code Section 1771.1 (enacted by SB 854) provides that a contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal (subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code), or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5. Every bidding contractor shall list the contractor’s current DIR registration number, and the current DIR registration number of all listed subcontractors, on the Subcontractor and Local Business Enterprise (LBE) Participation Verification Form included in the contractor’s bid.
Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.1(b): (1) any bid received from a contractor that is not currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5 shall be rejected as non-responsive; and (2) any bid listing one or more subcontractors on the bidder’s Subcontractor and Local Business Enterprise (LBE) Participation Verification Form that are not currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, shall be rejected as non- responsive, unless the listing was an inadvertent error and any of the conditions specified in Labor Code Section 1771.1(c) apply.
This contract also is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. For all contracts awarded on or after April 1, 2015, California Labor Code Section 1771.4 (enacted by SB 854) requires the contractor and all subcontractors to furnish electronic payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner (in addition to City staff via the City’s electronic system).
A Fact Sheet summarizing the provisions of SB 854 is attached.

BAN-THE-BOX REQUIREMENTS
INTRODUCTION
On September 6, 2016, the City of Sacramento enacted an ordinance regarding criminal conviction information in the employment application process (the “Ban-the- Box Ordinance”), which added Chapter 3.62 to the Sacramento City Code and amended Section 2.40.050 of the Sacr amento City Code. The Ban -the-Box Ordinance prohibits “covered employers” from asking an applicant for employment to disclose, orally or in writing, information concerning the criminal conviction history of the applicant, including any inquiry about criminal conviction history on any employment application, until the employer has determined the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications stated in any notice issued for the position.
APPLICATION
“City Contract”
The Ban-the-Box Ordinance applies to all “city contracts.” The term “city contract” means a contract awarded after January 1, 2017 to a “ covered employer” for services or a public project in return for compensation of $250,000 or more. The term “city contract” includes contracts for services or public projects that were awarded for an amount less than $250,000 but were amended to increase the total compensation to $250,000 or more.
The Ban -the-Box Ordinance also applies when the aggregate value of all con tracts for services or public projects the City has awarded to the same “covered employer” within the previous 12 months is $25 0,000 or more.
The Ban-the-Box Ordinance does not apply to: (1) contracts awarded by the City Manager in response to an emergency; and (2) contracts for the purchase or lease of equipment, supplies, or other personal property, even if they include incidental services such as delivery, installation, or maintenance.
“Covered Employer”
The Ban-the-Box Ordinance only applies to “covered employers.” The term “covered employer” means a person who is a party to a “city contract” and has at least 20 employees working either full or part time. The number of employees that a contractor has is determined by adding the contractor’s employees and the employees of any “related person.” A person is a “related person” when any of the following circumstances exists:
(1) The person and the person that is a party to a “city contract” are both corporations and:
(a) Share a majority of members of their governing boards; or (b) Have two or more officers in common; or
(c) Are controlled by the same majority shareholder or shareholders (control means more than 50% of the corporation’s voting power); or
(d) Are in a parent-subsidiary relationship (such a relationship exists when one corporation directly or indirectly owns shares possessing more than 50% of another corporation’s voting power).
(2) The person otherwise controls and directs, or is controlled and directed by, the person that is a party to a city contract, as determined by the City Manager, or City Manager designee.
The term “covered employer” includes a subcontractor providing services under a “ city contract ” if the subcontractor has at least 20 employees, whether full- or part-time, or the amount of the subcontract is at least 25% of the amount of the “city contract.”
The term “covered employer” does not include any unit of federal, state or local government.
Exceptions
The Ban-the-Box Ordinance provisions do not apply to: (1) a position for which a “covered employer” is otherwise required by law to conduct a criminal conviction history background check; or (2) a position that will not involve work pursuant to a “city contract.” Additionally, the Ban-the-Box Ordinance does not prevent a “covered employer” from conducting a criminal conviction history background check in subsequent stages of the application process after initially determining whether the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications.
COMPLIANCE
It is the contractor’s responsibility to determine whether the aggregate value of $ 250,000 or more has been met, and to notify the City in writing whenever this is the case. It is also the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all of its subcontractors who are covered by the Ban-the-Box Ordinance comply with the provisions of the Ban-the-Box Ordinance by including these requirements in all subcontracts covered by the Ban-the-Box Ordinance.
VIOLATIONS AND MONITORING
The Ban -the-Box Ordinance provides that any violation of the Ban- the-Box Ordinance by a “covered employer” constitutes a material breach of the contract, and authorizes the City to terminate the contract. The City may also enforce the Ban -the-Box Ordinance by investigating any alleged violation (but any failure of the City to investigate does not create a right of action against the City). The City may further require “covered employers” to verify compliance.

In determining the amount bid by each bidder, City shall disregard mathematical errors in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that appear obvious on the face of the Proposal. When such a mathematical error appears on the Proposal, the City shall have the right to correct such error and to compute the total amount bid by said bidder on the basis of the corrected figure or figures.
When the unit price of an item is required to be set forth in the Proposal, and the total for the item set forth separately does not agree with a figure derived by multiplying the item unit price times the Engineer's estimate of the quantity of work to be performed for said item, the item unit price shall prevail over the sum set forth as the total for the item unless, in the sole discretion of the City, such a procedure would be inconsistent with the policy of the City's bidding procedures.
The total paid for each such item of work shall be based upon the item unit price and not the total price.
Should the Proposal contain only a total price for an item and the item unit price is omitted, the City shall determine the item unit price by dividing the total price of the item by the Engineer's estimate of the quantity of work to be performed for the item of work.
If the Proposal contains neither the item price nor the total price for the item, then it shall be deemed incomplete and the Proposal shall be disregarded.
It is understood that this bid is based upon completion of the work within a period of 190 (One-Hundred Ninety) working days commencing on the date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
The amount of liquidated damages to be paid by the Contractor for failure to c omplete the work by the completion date (as extended, if applicable) shall be $1,000 for each calendar day, continuing to the time at which the work is completed. Such amount is the actual cash value agreed upon as the loss to the City resulting from the default of the Contractor.
The undersigned represents and warrants that he/she has examined the location of the proposed work and is familiar with the conditions at the place where the work is to be done. The undersigned further represents that he/she has reviewed and understands the Plans, Special Provisions, and other contract documents, and the undersigned is satisfied with all conditions for the performance of the work .
The undersigned has carefully checked all of the above figures and understands that the City of Sacramento will not be responsible for any errors or omissions on the part of the undersigned in making up this bid.
This proposal shall not be withdrawn for the time periods specified in Section 3-2 of the City of Sacramento Standard Specifications for award of contract to res pective low bidders. This proposal is submitted in accordance with Chapter
3.60 of the Sacramento City Code and Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the City of Sacramento Standard Specifications.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS QUESTIONNAIRE
Sacramento City Code Section 3.60.020 authorizes the Sacramento City Council to adopt standard minimum qualifications for bidders on competitively bid public works construction projects, and requires, among other provisions, that a bidder meet such minimum qualifications at the time of bid opening in order to bid. On July 31, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2007-574 establishing these standard minimum qualifications. Pursuant to City Code section 3.60.020, a bidder failing to meet these minimum qualifications at the time of bid opening shall not be considered a responsible bidder for purposes of bidding on the subject project.
All bidders must demonstrate compliance with the minimum qualifications established by Resolution No. 2007-574 by completing all of the questions contained in this questionnaire. Bidder responses shall be limited to those operating business units, offices, branches and/or subsidiary divisions of the bidder that will be involved with the performance of any project work if awarded the contract. If a bidder answers "yes" to any single question, fails to submit a fully completed questionnaire, or submits false information, this will result in a determination that the minimum qualifications are not met, and the bidder shall not be considered a qualified bidder for purposes of bidding on this contract. If two or more entities submit a bid on a contract as a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must separately meet these minimum qualifications for the Joint Venture to be considered a qualified bidder.
The City of Sacramento ("City") shall make its determination on the basis of the submitted questionnaire, as well as any relevant information that is obtained from others or as a result of investigation by the City.
While it is the intent of this questionnaire to assist the City in determining whether bidders possess the minimum qualifications necessary to submit bids on the City's competitively bid public works construction contracts, the fact that a bidder submits a questionnaire demonstrating that it meets these minimum qualifications shall not in any way limit or affect the City's ability to: (1) review other information contained in the bid submitted by the bidder, and additional relevant information, and determine whether the contractor is a responsive and/or responsible bidder; or (2) establish pre-qualification requirements for a specific contract or contracts.
By submitting this questionnaire, the bidder consents to the disclosure of its questionnaire answers: (i) to third parties for purposes of verification and investigation; (ii) in connection with any protest, challenge or appeal of any action taken by the City; and (iii) as required by any law or regulation, including without limitation the California Public Records Act (Calif. Gov't Code sections 6250 et seq.). Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the bidder submitting the questionnaire. If any information provided by a bidder becomes inaccurate, the bidder shall immediately notify the City and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

CITY OF SACRAMENTO LBE PROGRAM - 5/31/2023
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LOCAL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM
(LBE Program)
1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Sacramento has a Local Business Enterprise (LBE) Program to provide enhanced opportunities for local businesses to participate in the City's procurement and contracting activities. The Program began with an LBE Preference for bid and proposal evaluation. The Program was then expanded to require minimum LBE Participation levels in specific procurement opportunities.
2. APPLICATION
As summarized in the table below, there are two components to the LBE Program:
a. LBE Preference: For certain contracts, a 5% LBE Preference is applied during the bid evaluation process.
b. LBE Participation Requirement: For certain contracts, a minimum 5% LBE participation level is required for a bidder to be considered responsive.

Local Business Enterprise: A Local Business Enterprise (“LBE”) means a business enterprise, including but not limited to, a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other business entity that has a “legitimate business presence” within City limits or the unincorporated area of Sacramento County.
A “legitimate business presence” within City limits or the unincorporated area of Sacramento County means:
a. An established business entity operating within the selected areas for at least 12 consecutive months prior to submission of bid; and
CITY OF SACRAMENTO LBE PROGRAM - 5/31/2023
b. Legally operating a location in the City of Sacramento or unincorporated area1 of Sacramento County that is either:
(1) a principal business office or workspace; or
(2) a regional, branch, or satellite office with at least one full-time employee.
To qualify as an LBE, firms must meet these two requirements prior to the deadline for submission of bids or proposals. Upon the request of the City, firms shall provide proof of legally operating a location within City limits or the unincorporated County with the following documents:
- Tax returns for the business;
- Utility bill in the name of the business;
- Business license; and/or
- Secretary of State filings.
Exceptions from LBE Preference and Participation Requirements The LBE Program does not apply to procurement processes for contracts funded with federal funds, goods or services purchased through cooperative purchase agreements, or contracts entered into in response to a declared emergency.
3. LBE PREFERENCE
For contracts under $250,000, firms that qualify as an LBE will receive a 5% preference on all City procurement opportunities. For professional service contracts only, this preference also applies to procurement opportunities of $250,000 or more. The proposed prime contractor must qualify as an LBE to receive LBE preference points. Utilizing an LBE subcontractor is not a basis for receiving LBE preference points.
For contracts to be awarded in response to a solicitation for bids, a bid or quotation submitted by a firm that qualifies as an LBE will receive a 5% bid evaluation preference for the purpose of determining the lowest responsible bidder. This means that, for bid evaluation purposes, the total price bid by an LBE shall be reduced by 5%. However, this reduction only applies for bid evaluation purposes, and the resulting contract or purchase order will reflect the actual amount bid by the LBE.
For contracts awarded in response to a solicitation for proposals or qualifications, a firm that qualifies as an LBE shall receive additional points during the scoring process, so the final score
1 “Unincorporated area” generally refers to the part of a county that is not part of any city. The unincorporated area of Sacramento County does not include the cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Isleton, Rancho Cordova , Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento.
(see https://www.saccounty.gov/Government/Pages/CitieswithintheCounty.aspx ).
CITY OF SACRAMENTO LBE PROGRAM - 5/31/2023
awarded to the LBE is increased by 5% of the total possible evaluation points.
The City Manager does not have the authority to waive the application of the LBE Preference.
Only the City Council can waive the application of the LBE Preference. No waiver is required for procurements that are otherwise excluded from the LBE Program (as listed above), including federally funded purchases.
4. LBE PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
For non-professional service, professional service, and public project contracts of $250,000 or more, a minimum 5% LBE participation level is required. To receive credit for the 5% minimum participation requirement, bidders must either (a) be an LBE, or (b) subcontract with a qualified LBE.
Under City Code section 3.60.270, when the City establishes a minimum participation level for LBE's on a contract, no contractor shall be considered responsive unless its bid or proposal meets the minimum LBE participation level required.
The City Manager (or designee) has the authority to waive or reduce the LBE Participation requirements on some procurement opportunities prior to acceptance of bids or proposals.
PARTICIPATION LEVEL
LBE Participation: The percentage of LBE participation is determined based on the dollar value of the work to be performed. LBE credit may be obtained by utilizing LBE qualified subcontractors or suppliers, as outlined below.
Participation Credit: To receive credit for LBE participation:
1.

15. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IF WORK NOT COMPLETED ON TIME
A. The actual fact of the occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages that City would suffer if the entire Work, and/or any specified portion ther eof, were not completed within the time(s) specified herein are dependent upon many circumstances and conditions that could prevail in various combinations, and for this reason, it is impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages. Damages that City would suffer in the event of such delay include: loss of the use of the project; expenses of prolonged assignment to the project of an architectural and /or engineering staff; prolonged costs of administration, inspection, and supervision; increased operational expenses and/or impaired operation of other facilities dependent upon completion of the project; and the loss and inconvenience suffered by the public within the City of Sacramento by reason of the delay in the completion of the project or portion thereof. Accordingly, the parties agree, and by execution of this Agreement, Contractor a cknowledges that it understands and agrees, that the amount(s) set forth herein as liquidated damages reflect the parties’ best efforts at the time of entering into the Contract to estimate the damages that may be incurred by City and the public due to the Contractor’s delay in completion of the Work and/or any specified portion thereof , and shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by the failure of Contractor to complete the entire Work and/or any specified portion thereof within the time(s) specified herein.
Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 7
B. Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to City for failure to complete the entire Work by the Completion Date (as extended in accordance with the Contract Documents, if applicable) in the amount of $1,000 for each calendar day after the Completion Date (as extended in accordance with the Contract Documents, if applicable), continuing to the time at which the entire Work is completed. Such amount is the actual cash value agreed upon by the City and Contractor as the loss to City and the public resulting from Contractor's default.
The parties agree, and by execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges that it understands and agrees, that the foregoing provisions provide for the imposition of liquidated damages from the Completion Date (as extended in accordance with the Contract Documents, if applicable) until the date of completion of the entire Work as determined by the Engineer in accordance with Section 8 -4 of the Standard Specifications, whether or not the Work or any portion thereof is claimed or determined to be substantially complete prior to such date of completion.
C. In the event Contractor shall become liable for liquidated damages, City, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, shall have the right to withhold any and all payments that otherwise would be or become due Contractor until the liability of Contractor under this section is finally determined. City shall have the right to use and apply such payments, in whole or in part, to reimburse City for all liquidated damages due or to become due to City. Any remaining balance of such payments shall be paid to Contractor only after discharge in full of all liabilit y incurred by Contractor under this section or otherwise under any provision of the Contract Documents or any applicable Law or Regulation . If the sum so retained by City is not sufficient to discharge all such liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall continue to remain liable to City until all such liabilities are satisfied in full. No failure by City to withhold any payment as specified above shall in any manner be construed to constitute a release of any such liabilities nor a waiver of the City’s r ight to withhold payment for such liabilities.

The term "Excusable Delay" shall specifically not include: (i) any delay that could have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence on the part of Contractor; (ii) any delay in the prosecution of any part of the Work that does not constitute a Controlling Operation, whether or not such delay is unavoidable; (iii) any reasonable delay resulting from time required by City for review of any Contractor submittals and for the making of surveys, measurements and inspection; and, (iv) any delay arising from an interruption in the prosecution of the Work on account of reasonable interference by other Contractors employed by City that does not necessarily prevent the completion of the entire Work within the time specified.

22. CONTRACTOR TO SERVE NOTICE OF DELAYS
Whenever Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the Work, and in any event as soon as possible (not to exceed a period of ten (10) calendar days) after the initial occurrence of any delay that Contractor regards as or may later claim to be an Excusable Delay, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of such delay and its cause, in order that the Engineer: (i) may take immediate steps to prevent if possible the occurrence or continuance of the delay ; or (ii) if this cannot be done, may determine whether the delay is to be considered excusable, how long it continues, and to what extent the prosecution and Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 13

Contractor shall not be entitled to claim Excusable Delay for any delay for which the Contractor failed to provide such timely written notice.

As a condition of receiving this Contract, Contractor agrees to fully comply with the requirements specified herein for all demolition projects, as well as projects with a valuation of $250,000 or more:
1. Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following terms, words and phrases shall have the following meanings:
“Certified C&D sorting facility” means a facility that receives C&D debris and/or processes C&D debris into its component material types for reuse, recycling, and disposal of residuals and possesses a valid certificate as a C&D sorting facility from the Sacramento Regional County Solid Waste Authority.

Methods to divert materials include on- site reuse of the materials, delivery of materials from the project site to a certified C&D sorting facility or a recycling facility, or other methods as approved in regulations promulgated by the City Department of Utilities.
“Franchised waste hauler” means a person who possesses a valid commercial solid waste collection franchise issued by the Sacramento Regional County Solid Waste Authority.
“Mixed C&D debris” means loads that include commingled recyclable and non-recyclable C&D debris generated at a project site.
“Recyclable C&D debris” means C&D debris required to be diverted from landfills as specified in the Waste Management Plan and returned to the economic mainstream in the form of raw material for new, reused or reconstituted products that meet the quality standards necessary to be used in the marketplace.
“Recycling facility” means a facility or operation that receives, processes, and transfers source-separated recyclable materials.

Briefly describe the project:
Materials Required to be Recycled
65% of all debris must be recycled if generated during the course of your project. Failure to meet the 65% diversion rate may result in a fine being imposed. You can either source-separate them, which may be hauled by anyone, or mix them in one container and send the mixed C&D debris load to a Certified Mixed C&D Sorting Facility. Mixed C&D loads can only be hauled by a franchised hauler or self-hauled. Please see the Definitions section, on the next page, for more information.

This Waste Management Plan (WMP) must be submitted and approved before your building permit(s) will be issued. Only one WMP is required if a project has multiple building permits associated to it (i.e., multiple houses in a subdivision, or multiple related permits at one address). The Administration fee is 0.04% of the job valuation (min $40, max $800). If applicable, a security deposit of 1% of the job valuation (max $10,000) will be required. The accompanying Waste Log must be submitted within 30 days of final inspection (or permit expiration) of the project, or a fine may be imposed. Approval may also be delayed if the Waste Log from a previous project is due.

Definitions
Please read and understand these terms. Call Recycling & Solid Waste (RSW) at (916) 808-0965 if these terms are not clear to you. More information is also available online at http://www.cityofsacramento.org/public-works/RSW/Collection- Services/Recycling/Construction-and-Demolition.
1. Self-haul or self-hauling: This is when the permit holder, general contractor, or a subcontractor who is doing work on the project hauls their own waste materials for recycling or disposal. Note that a jobsite cleanup crew is not doing other work on the project and is not self-hauling. Jobsite cleanup crews must be franchised in order to haul mixed C&D debris and garbage away.
2. Franchised hauler: See a list provided at https://www.cityofsacramento.org/Public-Works/RSW/Collection-Services/ Commercial-Services/Collection-Services. These companies are the only companies in Sacramento who can legally collect and haul mixed C&D debris and garbage.
3. Source separation: This is achieving compliance with the recycling requirement by keeping wood, metal, cardboard, or other recyclables in separate containers. Source-separated material may be hauled by anyone to a permitted recycling facility for diversion.
4. Mixed C&D debris: This is achieving compliance with the recycling requirement by putting all recyclable debris into one container. Mixed material must be sent to a certified mixed C&D sorting facility to have the recyclable material extracted and recovered. Tickets must be stamped showing the mixed material was sorted. Mixed material also must be either self-hauled, or hauled by a franchised hauler. If your job site is crowded, this option saves the most space.
5. Certified Mixed C&D Sorting Facility: See list at https://wmr.saccounty.gov/Pages/CDDebrisSortingFacilities.aspx.
These facilities have been certified by the County of Sacramento to extract recyclable materials from mixed C&D debris. If you achieve compliance by mixed recovery, your debris must go to a certified mixed sorting facility.
Terms and Conditions
• Your approved Waste Management Plan and Waste Log must be kept on the job site in the permit folder for the duration
of the project.
• City of Sacramento staff may enter the jobsite to inspect waste collection areas. • Only
County of Sacramento-Certified Mixed C&D Sorting Facilities may be used to recycle these materials if mixed with other
materials.
• Only
Haulers franchised by the City of Sacramento or self-haulers (as defined above) may collect and transport trash or mixed C&D material from the jobsite.
• Construction and Demolition Debris may not be burned or dumped illegally. • Your Waste Log must be completed and submitted within 30 days of your permit being finaled or expired. All waste hauling and disposal or recycling activity must be entered on the Waste Log, including information from any subcontractors
who self-hauled their own debris off-site. Enter your Permit Number on your Waste Log now! • Your
Waste Log must demonstrate that the 65% diversion rate has been met. • You
must keep all receipts or weight-tickets from your project for a period of one year from the submittal of your waste log.
Fail
ure to comply with these terms and conditions may result in a fine and a security deposit on future projects.

surface of the crack and allowing it to harden, or use high injection pressures to cut-out the cracks in a 'V' shape, fill with an epoxy, and strike off flush with the surface.
3) Surface patching or sealant shall be performed where needed to provide
for complete penetration of the
injected polyurethane grout and to prevent wastage.
Seal surface of crack with fast setting hydraulic
cement or high
strength epoxy gel. The floor surface
along the cracks shall be cleaned and all wasted
grout and surface seal material shall be completely
removed from the concrete surface following
completion of the repair
work.
e. Inject the repair materials, with consideration of the following items:
1) Carefully select the pressure of the hydraulic pump or other device,
because too much pressure can
extend the existing cracks and cause more damage.
2) For vertical cracks, start by pumping material into
the entry port at the lowest elevation until the
Med Center Electrical Rehab 03 01 30-10 July 2024
Concrete Repair and Rehabilitation
material level reaches the entry port above, then cap
the lower injection port and repeat the process at
successively higher
ports until the crack has been
completely filled.
3) For horizontal cracks, start at one end of the crack and work to the other end, filling the crack until the pressure can be maintained.
4) For very fine cracks, start the injection of repair
material at the widest end and proceed toward the
thinner end, using low-viscosity repair material.
f. Cleanup
1) Remove the surface seal by grinding or other
appropriate means.
2) Coat fittings and holes at injection ports with an
epoxy patching compound.
3) If crack repairs are part of repair for surface defects, painting with epoxy is not necessary and surface
preparation may be started after crack repairs have
been completed.
3. Open through thickness non-structural cracks are to be repaired to deliver a watertight hydraulic structure passing the specified leakage test. Open through thickness
cracks with lengths of at
least 3 feet on each side of the wall and roof, at least 2 feet of length on the foundation or floor slab are to be injected unless they do not accept
grout. All 3 foot long minimum or greater through
thickness cracks greater than a minimum 15 mil thickness in the walls are to be injected unless they do not accept grout. All 2 foot long through thickness cracks greater than 10 mil thickness in the floors and roof are to be injected unless they do not accept grout. Perform non-
structural crack repairs in accordance with
the manufacturers directions, and in accordance with the following basic procedure:
a. Remove unsound and foreign materials from the crack in a manner that does
not trap debris in the crack and prevent
the flow of repair materials.
b. Remove contamination by flushing with water or solvent, allowing adequate time for air-drying or blow out the solvent with compressed air.
c. Install the injection ports in accordance with the
Med Center Electrical Rehab 03 01 30-11 July 2024
Concrete Repair and Rehabilitation
manufacturers directions.
d. Moisture
1) For non-structural cracks, moisture must be present
for the chemical grout to react.
2) Prior to injecting the repair materials, inject the crack with a small amount of water in order to completely
moisten the crack.
e. Inject the repair materials, with consideration of the following items:
1) Carefully select the pressure of the hydraulic pump or other device,
because too much pressure can
extend the existing cracks and cause more damage.
2) For vertical cracks, start by pumping material into
the entry port at the lowest elevation until the
material level reaches the entry port above, cap the
lower injection port and repeat the process at
successively higher
ports until the crack has been
completely filled, and then, starting again at the
lowest port, re-inject into all ports in order to ensure that all voids are
properly sealed off.
3) For horizontal cracks, start at one end of the crack and work to the other end, filling the crack until the pressure can be maintained.
4) For very fine cracks, start the injection of repair
material at the widest end and proceed toward the
thinner end.
f. Cleanup
1) Remove excess surface material by grinding or other
appropriate means.
2) Coat fittings and holes at injection ports with an
epoxy patching compound.
3) If crack repairs are part of repair for surface defects, painting with epoxy is not necessary and surface
preparation may be started after crack repairs have
been completed.

the required rate of progress to be maintained. The design and inspection of concrete forms, falsework, and shoring shall comply with applicable local, state, and Federal regulations. Plumb and string lines shall
be installed before concrete placement and shall be maintained during placement. Such lines shall be used by Contractor's personnel and by the Engineer and shall be in sufficient number and properly installed. During concrete placement, the Contractor shall continually monitor plumb and string line form positions and immediately correct deficiencies.
B. Concrete forms shall conform to the shape, lines, and dimensions of members required, and shall be substantial, free from surface defects, and sufficiently tight to prevent leakage. Forms shall be properly braced or tied together to maintain their position and shape under a load of freshly-placed concrete. If adequate foundation for shores cannot be secured, trussed supports shall be provided.
C. Forms shall be removed unless approved otherwise by the Engineer.
3.02 FORM DESIGN
A. Forms shall be true in every respect to the required shape and size, shall conform to the established alignment and grade, and shall be of sufficient strength and rigidity to maintain their position and shape under the loads and operations incident to placing and vibrating the concrete. Suitable and effective means shall be provided on forms for holding adjacent edges and ends of panels and sections tightly together and in accurate alignment so as to prevent the formation of ridges, fins, offsets, or similar surface defects
in the finished concrete. Plywood, 5/8-inch and greater in thickness, may be fastened directly to studding if the studs are spaced close enough to prevent visible deflection marks in the concrete. The forms shall be tight so as to prevent the loss of water,
cement, and fines during placing and vibrating of the concrete.
Specifically, the bottom of
wall forms that rest on concrete footings or
slabs shall be provided with a gasket to prevent loss of fines and paste during placement and vibration of concrete. Such gasket may be a 1- to 1- 1/2-inch diameter polyethylene rod held in position to the underside of the wall form. Adequate clean-out holes shall be provided at the bottom of each lift of
forms. The size, number, and location of such clean-outs shall be as acceptable to the Engineer. Whenever concrete cannot be placed from the top of a wall form in a manner that meets the requirements of the Contract Documents, form windows shall be provided in the size and spacing needed to allow placement of concrete to the Med Center Electrical Rehab 03 11 00-5 July 2024

requirements of Section 03 31 00 Cast-in-Place Concrete. The size, number, and location of such form windows shall be as acceptable to the Engineer.
3.03 CONSTRUCTION
A. Vertical Surfaces: Vertical surfaces of concrete members shall be formed, except where placement of the concrete against the ground is indicated.
Not less than 1-inch of concrete shall be added to the indicated thickness of a concrete member where concrete is permitted to be placed against trimmed ground in lieu of forms. Permission to do this on other concrete members will be granted only for members of comparatively limited height and where the character of the ground is such that it can be trimmed to the
required lines and will stand securely without caving or sloughing until the concrete has been placed.
B. Construction Joints: Concrete construction joints will not be permitted at locations other than those indicated, except as may be acceptable to the Engineer. When a second lift is placed on hardened concrete, special precautions shall be taken in the way of the number, location, and tightening of ties at the top of the old lift and bottom of the new to prevent any unsatisfactory effect whatsoever on the concrete. Pipe stubs and anchor
bolts shall be set in the forms where required.
C. Form Ties
1. Embedded Ties: Holes left by the removal of form tie cones shall be reamed with suitable toothed reamers so as to leave the surface of the holes clean and rough before being filled with mortar. Wire ties for holding forms will not be permitted. No form- tying device or part thereof, other than metal, shall be left embedded in the
concrete. Ties shall not be removed in such
manner as to leave a hole extending through the interior of the concrete members. The use of snap-ties that cause spalling of the concrete upon form stripping or tie removal will not be permitted.
If
steel panel forms are used, rubber grommets shall be provided where the ties pass through the form in order to prevent loss of cement paste. Where metal rods extending through the concrete are used to support or to strengthen forms, the rods shall remain embedded and shall terminate not less than 1-inch back from the
formed face or faces of the concrete.
2. Removable Ties: Where taper ties are approved for use, the larger end of the taper tie shall be on the wet side of walls in water Med Center Electrical Rehab 03 11 00-6 July 2024

retaining structures. After the taper tie is removed, the hole shall be thoroughly cleaned and roughened for bond. A precast neoprene or polyurethane tapered plug shall be located at the wall centerline. The
hole shall be completely filled with non-shrink
grout for water bearing and below- grade walls. The hole shall be completely filled with non-shrink or regular cement grout for above-grade walls that are dry on both sides. Exposed faces of walls shall
have the outer 2-inches of the exposed face filled
with a cement grout that shall match the color and texture of the surrounding wall surface.
3.04 REUSE OF FORMS
A. Forms may be reused only if in good condition and only if acceptable to the Engineer. Light sanding between uses will be required wherever necessary to obtain uniform surface texture on exposed concrete surfaces. Exposed concrete surfaces are defined as surfaces which are permanently exposed to view. In the case of forms for the inside wall surfaces of hydraulic/water retaining structures, unused tie rod holes in forms shall
be covered with metal caps or shall be filled by other methods acceptable to the Engineer.
3.05 REMOVAL OF FORMS
A. Careful procedures for the removal of forms shall be strictly followed, and this Work shall be done with care so as to avoid injury to the concrete.
No heavy loading on green concrete will be permitted. In the case of roof slabs and above-ground floor slabs, forms shall remain in place until test cylinders for the roof concrete attain a minimum compressive strength of 75 percent of the 28 Day strength in Section 03 31 00. No forms shall be disturbed or removed under an individual panel or unit before the concrete in the
adjacent panel or unit has attained 75 percent of the 28 Day strength and has been in place for a minimum of 7 Days. The time required to establish said strength shall be as determined by the Engineer who will make several test cylinders for this purpose from concrete used in the first group of roof panels placed. If the time so determined is more
than the 7 Day minimum, then that time shall be
used as the minimum length of time. Forms for vertical walls of waterholding structures shall remain in place at least 36 hours after the concrete has been placed. Forms for parts of the Work not specifically mentioned herein shall remain in place for periods of time as recommended in ACI 347 -
Guide to Formwork for Concrete.

Before concrete is placed, the forms shall be thoroughly cleaned. The form surfaces shall be treated with a nonstaining mineral oil or other lubricant acceptable to the Engineer. Any excess lubricant shall be satisfactorily removed before placing the concrete. Where field oiling of forms is required, the
Contractor shall perform the oiling at least 2 weeks in advance of their use. Care shall be exercised to keep oil off the surfaces of steel reinforcement and other metal items to be embedded in concrete.
3.07 FALSEWORK
A. The Contractor shall be responsible for the design, engineering, construction, maintenance, and safety of falsework, including staging, walkways, forms, ladders, and similar appurtenances, which shall equal or exceed the applicable requirements of the provisions of the OSHA Safety and Health Standards for Construction, the requirements of the Construction Safety Orders of the California Division of Industrial Safety, and the
requirements herein.
B. Falsework shall be designed and constructed to provide the necessary rigidity and to support the loads. Falsework for the support of a superstructure shall be designed to support the loads that would be imposed if the entire superstructure were placed at one time.
C. Falsework shall be placed upon a solid footing, safe against undermining, and be protected from softening. When the falsework is supported on timber piles, the maximum calculated pile loading shall not exceed 20 tons. When falsework is supported on any portion of the structure which is already constructed, the load imposed by the falsework shall be spread, distributed, and braced in such a way as to avoid any possibility of
damage to the structure.

grouted, the epoxy grout is stopped not less than 4-inches from the edge of the pad.
C. Topping Grout and Concrete/Grout Fill
1. Mechanical, electrical, and finish Work shall be completed prior to placement of topping or concrete/grout fill. To ensure bonding to the base slab, the base slab shall be given an exposed aggregate finish. Alternatively, where accepted by the Engineer, the base slab shall be given a roughened textured surface by a close-spaced rake while the surface is green. After curing, high pressure washing shall expose the aggregates and produce not less than a 3/16-inch amplitude roughness. Jackhammers or chipping hammers shall not be used.
2. The minimum thickness of grout topping and concrete/grout fill shall be one-inch. Where the finished surface of concrete/grout fill is to form an intersecting angle of less than 45 degrees with the concrete surface it is to be placed against, a key shall be formed in the concrete surface at the intersection point. The key shall be a minimum of 3-1/2 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches deep.
3. The base slab shall be thoroughly cleaned and wetted to saturated surface dry (SSD) condition per the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) -- Technical Guide for Selecting and Specifying Concrete Surface Preparation for Sealers, Coatings, and Polymer Overlays, prior to placing topping grout and grout fill. No topping grout shall be placed until the slab is completely free from standing pools or ponds of water. A thin coat of neat cement grout shall be broomed into the surface of the slab just before topping or fill placement. The neat cement grout shall not be allowed to dry before topping placement. If it does dry, it must be immediately removed using wet stiff brooms and reapplied. The topping and fill shall be compacted by rolling or thorough tamping, brought to established grade, and floated. Grouted fill for tank and basin bottoms where scraping mechanisms are to be installed shall be screeded by blades attached to the revolving mechanism of the equipment in accordance with the procedures outlined by the equipment manufacturer after the grout is brought to the established grade. Coat surface with evaporation retardant as needed to prevent plastic shrinkage cracks.
