STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

9 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF STATEMENT OF

COMPLIANCE

This statement of compliance meets needs of the state and federal payroll requirements to pay fringe benefits in addition to payment of the minimum rates. The contractor's obligation to pay fringe benefits may be met by payment of the fringes to the various preapproved plans, funds, or programs or by making these payments directly to the employees as part of their weekly wage payments.

The contractor must show on the face of his or her payroll all monies paid to the employees whether as basic rates or total hourly wage amount in lieu of fringes. The contractor shall report in the statement of compliance that he or she is paying to others fringes required by the contract and not paid directly to the employees in lieu of fringes.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Contractors required to pay Federal Wage Rates:

Such a contractor shall check paragraph 2(a) of the statement to indicate that the wage rates for laborers or mechanics contained in the payroll are not less than the applicable wage rates specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.

Contractors required to pay the State Prevailing Wage Rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations:

Such a contractor shall check paragraph 2(b) of the statement to indicate that the wage rates for laborers or mechanics contained in the payroll are not less than the applicable wage rates determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the county or counties in which the work is performed.

Contractor who pay all required fringe benefits:

A contractor who pays fringe benefits to approved plans, funds, or programs in amounts not less than were determined in the applicable wage decisions shall continue to show on the face of his or her payroll the basic hourly rate and overtime rate paid to his or her employees, just as he or she has always done. Such a contractor shall check paragraph 4(a) of the statement to indicate that he or she is also paying approved plans, funds, or programs within the times required for the receipt of those sums, not less than the amount predetermined as fringe benefits for each craft. Any exception shall be noted in Section 4(c).

Contractors who pay no fringe benefits:

A contractor who does not pay fringe benefits to an approved plan shall pay a like amount to the employee. This payment can be reported by inserting in the straight time hourly rate column of his or her payroll an amount not less than the predetermined rate for each classification plus the amount of fringe benefits determined for each classification in the applicable wage decision. Inasmuch as it is not necessary to pay time and a half on wages paid in lieu of fringes, the overtime rate shall be not less than one and one-half the basic predetermined rate, plus the required cash in lieu of fringes at the straight time rate. To simplify computation of overtime, it is suggested that the straight time basic rate and payment in lieu of fringes be separately stated in the hourly rate column. In addition, the contractor shall check paragraph 4(b) of the statement to indicate that he or she is paying fringe benefits directly to his or her employees. Any exceptions shall be noted in Section 4(c).

Use of Section 4(c), Exceptions:

Any contractor who is making payment to approved plans, funds, or programs in amounts less than the wage determination required is obligated to pay the deficiency directly to the employees as wages in lieu of fringes. Any exceptions to Section 4(a) and 4(b), whichever the contractor may check, shall be entered in Section 4(c). Enter in the Exception column the craft, and enter in the Explanation column the hourly amount paid the employees as wages in lieu of fringes, and the hourly amount paid to plans, funds, or programs as fringes (see United States Code, Title 18, Section 1001 and Title 31, Section 3729).

SECTION 3 AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT
The Contractor’s attention is directed to the Provisions in Section 3, “Award and Execution of Contract”, of the City of Salinas Standard Specifications and Section 2 “Proposal Requirements and Conditions” of these Special Provisions for the requirements and conditions concerning award and execution of the Contract.

20 If the Agency awards the contract, the award is made to the lowest responsible bidder. The City reserves the right to reject all proposals, depending on available funding.

The Contract shall be executed by the successful Bidder and shall be returned, together with the Contract bonds, to the Agency so that it is received within 15 working days, not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the Bidder has received the Contract for execution. Failure to do so shall be just cause for forfeiture of the proposal guaranty. The executed Contract documents shall be delivered to the following address: City of Salinas, Attn: City Clerk, 200 Lincoln Avenue, Salinas CA 93901.

A "Local Agency Bidder DBE Commitment (Construction Contract), Exhibit 15-G" form is included in the proposal to be executed by the successful bidder. The purpose of the form is to collect data required under 49 CFR 26. Even if no DBE participation will be reported, the successful bidder must execute and return the form.

The successful bidder's "Local Agency Bidder DBE Commitment (Construction Contract), Exhibit 15-G" form should include the names, addresses and phone numbers of DBE firms that will participate, with a complete description of work or supplies to be provided by each, and the dollar value of each DBE transaction. When 100 percent of a contract item of work is not to be performed or furnished by a DBE, a description of the exact portion of that work to be performed or furnished by that DBE should be included in the DBE information, including the planned location of that work. A successful bidder certified as a DBE should describe the work it has committed to performing with its own forces as well as any other work that it has committed to be performed by DBE subcontractors, suppliers and trucking companies.

The successful bidder is encouraged to provide written confirmation from each DBE that the DBE is participating in the contract. A copy of a DBE's quote will serve as written confirmation that the DBE is participating in the contract. If a DBE is participating as a joint venture partner, the successful bidder is encouraged to submit a copy of the joint venture agreement.

The “Local Agency Bidder DBE Commitment (Construction Contract), Exhibit 15-G” form shall be completed and returned to the City within 5 working days after bid opening.

Certificates of Insurance shall be furnished by the Contractor and shall be returned with the signed Contract and Contract bonds within 15 calendar days after receipt. The Notice to Proceed with the work shall not be issued by the City Clerk’s office until all such documents are submitted.

The Contractor shall have 30 calendar days immediately following award of Contract (not notice to proceed) to furnish materials submittals.

In determining the lowest “responsible” Bidder, consideration shall be given to the general competency of Contractor in regard to the work covered by the Proposal. To this end each Proposal shall be supported by the “Bidder’s Statement of Financial Responsibility, Technical Ability, and Experience” on the form(s) found herein. Failure of the Bidder to provide requested information in a complete and accurate manner shall be considered non-responsive resulting in rejection of the Bid. Additionally, the City of Salinas reserves the right to disqualify or refuse to consider a Proposal if a Bidder is in default for any of the following reasons:

21 a) Lack of competency and adequate machinery, plant, and other equipment, as revealed by the documents requested.
b) Uncompleted work, which in the judgment of the City Engineer, might hinder or prevent the prompt completion of additional work if awarded.
c) Failure to comply with any regulation of the City of Salinas; and d) Default under previous Contracts.

If awarded, this Contract shall be awarded to the responsible Bidder submitting the lowest Bid who meets the financial and technical requirements. The City of Salinas reserves the right to withhold award of Bid for 120 calendar days from the Bid opening date.

If the Contractor schedules work on designated non-work day(s) such as weekend or holidays, the Contractor shall reimburse the City of Salinas for inspection services rendered by the City of Salinas for said services during applicable non-working days unless the City requires the Contractor to work on a non-working day.

The Contractor shall pay to the City of Salinas the sum of $1,000.00 per day, for each and every calendar day delay in finishing the work in excess of the number of working days prescribed above.

5-1.2 WAGE DETERMINATION
The higher wage rate, BASIC WAGE RATES (State Prevailing Wage rate) or Davis-Bacon Wage Rates, shall be applicable to this Contract.

All wage scales shall be in accordance with applicable determinations made by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) of the State of California, as provided by Article 2, Chapter 1, Division 2, Part 7 of the Labor Code of the State of California, commencing with Section 1771. In accordance with Section 1773.2 of the said Labor Code, copies of the aforesaid determinations of the Director of the DIR are available on the website address

23 http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm. They shall apply to the Construction Contract and all Subcontractors thereunder.

If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and Subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department shall not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classifications not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and Subcontractors, the Contractor and Subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. The wage rates determined by the Director of DIR and published in the Department of Transportation publication entitled General Prevailing Wage Rates refer to expiration dates. If the published wage rate does not refer to a predetermined wage rate to be paid after the expiration date, said published rate of wage shall be in effect for the life of this Contract. If the published wage rate refers to a predetermined wage rate to become effective upon expiration of the published wage rate and the predetermined wage rate is on file with the DIR, such predetermined wage rate shall become effective on the date following the expiration date and shall apply to this Contract in the same manner as if it had been published in said publication. If the predetermined wage rate refers to one or more additional expiration dates with additional predetermined wage rates, which expiration dates occur during the life of this Contract, each successive predetermined wage rate shall apply to this Contract on the date following the expiration date of the previous wage rate.

If the last of such predetermined wage rates expires during the life of this Contract, such wage rate shall apply to the balance of the Contract.

Arrangements shall include, but not be limited to, entering into agreements with property owners and obtaining necessary permits, licenses, and environmental clearances. Before disposing of any material outside the highway right of way, the Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer satisfactory evidence that the Contractor has entered into agreements with the property owners of the site involved and has obtained the permits, licenses and clearances.

When any material is to be disposed of outside the highway right of way, and the City has not made arrangements for disposal of the material, the Contractor shall first obtain written authorization from the property owner on whose property the disposal is to be made and the Contractor shall file with the Engineer the authorization or a certified copy thereof together with a written release from the property owner absolving the City from any and all responsibility in connection with the disposal of material on the property. Before any material is disposed of on the property, the Contractor shall obtain written permission from the Engineer to dispose of the material at the location designated in the authorization.

When material is disposed of as above provided and the disposal location is visible from a highway, the Contractor shall dispose of the material in a neat and uniform manner to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

Where the City has made arrangements with owners of land in the vicinity of a project for the disposal of materials on an owner's property, the arrangements are made solely for the purpose of providing all bidders an equal opportunity to dispose of the materials on the property. Bidders or Contractors may, upon written request, inspect the documents evidencing the arrangements between property owners and the City. The Contractor may, if the Contractor so elects, exercise any rights that have been obtained, which may be exercised by a Contractor under the arrangements, subject to and upon the conditions hereinafter set forth.

36 Such arrangements are not a part of the contract and it is expressly understood and agreed that the City assumes no responsibility to the bidder or Contractor whatsoever in respect to the arrangements made with the property owner to dispose of materials thereon and that the Contractor shall assume all risks in connection with the use of the property, the terms upon which the use shall be made, and there is no warranty or guaranty, either express or implied, as to the quantity or types of materials that can be disposed of on the property.

In those instances, in which the City has compiled "Materials Information" as referred to in Section 2-1.03, "Examination of Plans, Specifications, Contract, and Site of Work," the compilation will include the documents setting forth the arrangement made with some of the property owners for the disposal of material on those owners' properties. The inclusion of the documents therein shall not in any respect operate as a waiver of any of the provisions in this Section 7-1.01 concerning the documents. • The bidder or Contractor is cautioned to make such independent investigation and examination as the Contractor deems necessary to be satisfied as to the quantity and types of materials which may be disposed of on the property and the rights, duties and obligations acquired or undertaken under the arrangement with the property owner.
• Notwithstanding that the Contractor may elect to dispose of materials on any such property owner's property, no material may be disposed of on that property unless the Contractor has first either:
(1) Executed a document that will guarantee to hold the owner harmless from all claims for injury to persons or damage to property resulting from the Contractor's operations on the property owner's premises and also agree to conform to all other provisions set forth in the arrangement made between the City and the property owner. The document will be prepared by the Engineer for execution by the Contractor, or
(2) Entered into an agreement with the owner of the disposal site on any terms mutually agreeable to the owner and the Contractor; provided that the Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer a release, in a form satisfactory to the Engineer, executed by the owner, relieving the City of any and all obligations under the City's arrangement with the owner. • If the Contractor elects to dispose of material under (1), the use of the site shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the arrangement made between the property owner and the City and the Contractor shall pay those charges that are provided for in the arrangement made by the City with the property owner, and deductions will be made from any moneys due or that may become due the Contractor under the contract sufficient to cover the charges for the material disposed of. • If the Contractor elects to dispose of material under (2), the Contractor shall pay those charges that are provided for in the agreement between the owner and the Contractor and deductions will not be made from any moneys due or that may become due the Contractor under the contract to cover the charges. • Before acceptance of the contract, the Engineer may require the Contractor to submit written evidence that the owner of the disposal site is satisfied that the Contractor has satisfactorily complied with the provisions of either - (1), the arrangement between the City and the owner, or (2), the agreement between the owner and the Contractor, as the case may be.
• Full compensation for all costs involved in disposing of materials as specified in this Section 7-1.01, including all costs of hauling, shall be considered as included in the price paid for the various contract items of work and no additional compensation will be allowed, therefore.

The City Engineer shall annotate and stamp the reproducible and shall forward same to the Contractor’s printer, who shall make and return three prints plus the original tracing to the City Engineer. Additional prints required by the Contractor shall be forwarded to the Contractor. The cost of printing and mailing are the responsibility of the Contractor and no additional compensation shall be allowed, therefore.

Unless otherwise specified, for standard manufactured items, submit six copies of manufacture's catalog or data sheets for each submission, showing illustrations of the item to be furnished, scaled details, sized, dimensions, performance characteristics, wiring diagrams, controls and other pertinent information. Two copies of a submission shall be returned to the Contractor approved by the City Engineer as noted on the documents. The City Engineer will retain one copy and the remaining copies will be distributed to the City Inspector.

47 The foregoing procedure does not preclude informal reviews of shop drawings prepared by the fabricator for reinforcing steel, miscellaneous iron, structural steel, by the Structural Engineer or for mechanical and electrical components by the Mechanical and Electrical Engineer. No distribution of shop drawings and setting drawings, except as noted, shall be permitted.

By approving and submitting shop drawings and samples, the Contractor thereby represents that he/she has determined and verified all field measurements, field construction criteria, materials, catalog number and similar data, or shall do so, and that he/she has checked and coordinated each shop drawing and sample with the requirements of the work and the Contract Documents.

Allow two weeks minimum for review. Allow additional time if processing must be delayed to permit coordination with subsequent submittals. Allow one week for reprocessing each submittal.

No extension of Contract time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals sufficiently in advance of the work to permit processing.

The City Engineer shall review and approve any shop drawings and samples with reasonable promptness so as to cause no delay, but only for conformance with the design concept of the project and with the information given in the Contract Documents. The City Engineer's approval of a separate item shall not indicate approval of an assembly in which the item functions.

The Contractor shall make any corrections required by the City Engineer and shall resubmit the required number of corrected copies of shop drawings or new samples until approved. The Contractor shall direct specific attention in writing or on resubmitted shop drawings to revisions other than the correction requested by the City Engineer on previous submissions. Corrected shop drawings shall be resubmitted in the same manner as called for above.

The City Engineer's approval of shop drawings or samples shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless the Contractor has specifically informed the City Engineer in writing of such deviation at the time of the submission, and the City Engineer has given written approval to the specified deviation; nor shall the City Engineer's approval relieve the Contractor form responsibility for errors or omissions in the shop drawings or samples.

No portion of the work requiring a shop drawing submission, including ordering of materials, shall be commenced until the submission has been approved by the City Engineer. All such portions of the work shall be in accordance with approved shop drawings and samples. Any work placed without submittals being made shall be replaced by Contractor at his/her own expense, if directed by the City Engineer.

Whenever work is specified to conform to approved samples on file in the office of the City Engineer, conformance shall be required in all respects and the City Engineer's decision in respect to such conformity shall be final.

Where Specifications require manufacturer's printed installation directions, submit duplicate copies of such directions for approval.

The Contractor shall provide and maintain an up-to-date complete "RECORD DRAWING" record on a separate set of construction Plans which shall show every change from the original drawings and

48 Specifications. Prints for this purpose may be obtained from the City Engineer. This set of drawings is to be kept on the site and to be used only as a record set.

These Plans shall also serve as work progress sheets, and the Contractor shall make neat and legible annotations thereon daily as the work proceeds, showing the work as actually installed. These drawings shall be available at all times for inspection and to be kept in a location designated by the City Engineer.

At the project pre-construction meeting, the City Engineer shall furnish two sets of the Plans and Specifications to the Contractor and an additional set for each of the listed Subcontractors. If additional sets are requested, the Contractor will be charged for any extra sets requiring reproduction and binding at the rate specified in the Notice to Bidders.

On or before the date of final inspection, the Contractor shall deliver the corrected and completed "RECORD DRAWING" to the City Engineer. Contractor shall furnish in duplicate two binders of all manufacturers' literature brochures, manuals, parts list, instructions, etc., for all electrical and mechanical equipment as required to be furnished and installed by the Contractor. Submissions of this literature in a haphazard method will not be acceptable. Failure to submit "RECORD DRAWING" shall be cause to withhold final payment and not accept the project.

Record Plans are required under Section 10-1.12 and may be recorded and submitted on CD or DVD.

The “Record Drawing” shall be accurate and up to date with approval of the City Engineer before each progress payment shall be made.
10-1.13 WATERING
Watering, if any, shall conform to the provisions in Section 17, "Watering" of the Standard Specifications, except that full compensation for developing water supply shall be considered as included in the prices paid for the various Contract items of work involving the use of water and no separate payment will be made.

Any work to be done on private properties or requiring access through private properties shall not be done until the City has acquired easements or right-of-entry from the property owner. Prior to starting such work, the Contractor shall verify with the City Engineer that such authority has been granted.

The Contractor will confine his/her operations within the limitations of construction easements or limits as shown on the drawings. If the Contractor's operations result in damage to plantings or any other privately- owned facility outside the limitations of the construction easements or public right-of-way, the Contractor shall, at his/her expense, repair such damage or indemnify the owner of the damaged property.

If the Contractor negotiates with property owner for use of land for construction operations outside the limits of the construction easements, he/she shall do so at his/her own risk and the City of Salinas shall assume no liability for such use of private property. All agreements between the Contractor and private property owner shall be in writing. The Contractor shall commence no work outside the construction easements until copies of such agreements are furnished to the City Engineer.

49 10-1.15 CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS AND STAKING
Construction surveys and staking, when required, shall be provided by and paid for by the contractor and no additional compensation shall be made.

The City shall be given the opportunity to check forms for line and grade prior to any concrete being placed. 10-1.16 ARBITRATION

In the event of a dispute as to whether the conditions materially differ or do involve hazardous waste, the Contractor shall continue to proceed with all work to be performed under the Contract and shall retain all rights provided either by Contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of any dispute or protest.

The last paragraph in Section 9-1.22, "Arbitration", of the State Standard Specifications is amended to read:

File the arbitration complaint no later than 180 calendar days after receiving the Department's final written decision on a claim (Pub Cont Code § 10240.1). 10-1.17 NOTICE OF POTENTIAL CLAIM
The Contractor shall not be entitled to the payment of any additional compensation for any act, or failure to act, by the City Engineer, including failure or refusal to issue a change order, or for the happening of any event, thing, occurrence, or other cause, unless he/she shall have given the City Engineer due written notice of potential claim as hereinafter specified. Compliance with this section shall not be a prerequisite as to matters within the scope of the protest Provisions in Section 4-1.03, "Changes", or Section 8-1.06, "Time of Completion", in the Standard Specifications or the notice Provisions in Section 4-1.06, "Differing Site Conditions", in the State Standard Specifications, or Section 8-1.07, "Liquidated Damages", or Section 8-1.10, "Utility and Non-Highway Facilities", in the Standard Specifications nor to any claim which is based on difference in measurements or errors of computation as to Contract quantities.

The Contractor hereby agrees that he/she shall have no right to additional compensation for any claim that may be based on such act, failure to act, event, thing or occurrence for which no written notice of potential claim as herein required was filed.

Should the Contractor, in connection with or subsequent to the assertion of a potential claim, request inspection and copying of documents or records in the possession of the City that pertain to the potential claim, Contractor shall make its records of the project, as

50 deemed by the City to be pertinent to the potential claim, available to the City for inspection and copying.

Construction activity subject to this permit includes clearing, grading and disturbances to the ground such as stockpiling or excavation, or construction activities associated with Linear Underground/Overhead Projects (“LUPs”); it does not include regular maintenance activities performed to restore the original line, grade, or capacity of the facility.

The Construction General Permit (CGP) requires the development and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP should contain a site map(s) which shows the construction site perimeter, existing and proposed buildings, lots, roadways, storm water collection and discharge points, general topography both before and after construction, and drainage patterns across the project. The SWPPP must list Best Management Practices (BMPs) the discharger will use to protect storm water runoff and the placement of those BMPs. Additionally, the SWPPP must contain a visual monitoring program and a chemical monitoring program for “non-visible” pollutants to be implemented if there is a failure of BMPs. Section A of the CGP describes the elements that must be contained in a SWPPP.

The requirements of the CGP are intended to be implemented on a year-round basis, not just during the part of the year when there is a high probability of a precipitation event which results in storm water runoff.

The permit should be implemented at the appropriate level and in a proactive manner during all seasons while construction is on-going. The City of Salinas NPDES permit also has additional requirements applicable to construction projects of any size.

https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/construction/documents/environmental-compliance/bmp- field-master-fullsize-final-jan03-a11y.pdf
The SWPPP should contain a site map(s) which shows the construction site perimeter, existing and proposed buildings, lots, roadways, storm water collection and discharge points, general topography both before and after construction, and drainage patterns across the project. The plans must list Best Management Practices (BMPs) the discharger will use to protect storm water runoff and the placement of those BMPs.

Additionally, the SWPPP must contain a visual monitoring program and a chemical monitoring program for “non-visible” pollutants to be implemented if there is a failure of BMPs. Section A of the CGP describes the elements that must be contained in a SWPPP.

The SWPPP shall incorporate control measures in the following categories:

1. Soil stabilization practices

2. Sediment erosion control practices

3. Sediment tracking control practices

4. Wind erosion control practices

5. Non-storm water management, materials management, and waste management and disposal control practices.

The Contractor shall consider these objectives and their minimum requirements for each of the above categories as presented in these Manuals. When minimum requirements are listed for any category, the Contractor shall incorporate all of the listed minimum controls required into the SWPPP and implement these on the project site in order to meet the stormwater pollution control objectives for the category. In addition, the Contractor shall consider any other additional control measures presented in the Handbook as necessary to meet the objectives of the plans and shall incorporate them into the SWPPP for implementation on the project site.

Permanent post-construction stormwater control measures, also called structural BMPs, shall be indicated in the project Drainage Plans and incorporated into the project site as required per the City’s NPDES Permit (Post-construction requirements). The Contractor shall maintain and protect the post-construction stormwater control measures throughout the duration of the project and shall restore these to the specifications shown on the Plans prior to acceptance of the project.

Within 30 calendar days after the approval of the Contract, the Contractor shall submit two (2) copies of the SWPPP to the City Engineer. The Contractor shall allow 7 calendar days for the City Engineer to review the plans. If revisions are required, as determined by the City Engineer, the Contractor shall revise and resubmit the SWPPP and/or SWCP within 7 calendar days of receipt of the City Engineer’s comments

59 and shall allow 7 calendar days for the City Engineer to review the revisions. Upon the City Engineer’s approval of the SWPPP, three (3) additional copies of the plans incorporating the required changes shall be submitted to the City Engineer. Minor changes or clarifications to the initial submittal may be made and attached as amendments to the SWPPP. In order to allow construction activities to proceed, the City Engineer may conditionally approve the SWPPP while minor revisions or amendments are being completed.

The Contractor shall amend the SWPPP, graphically and in narrative form, whenever there is a change in construction activities or operations which may affect the discharge of significant quantities of pollutants to surface waters, ground waters, municipal storm drain systems, or when deemed necessary by the City Engineer. The SWPPPP shall also be amended if the plan has not achieved the objective of reducing pollutants in storm water discharges. Amendments shall show additional control measures or revised operations, including those in areas not shown in the initially approved SWPPP, which are required on the project to control water pollution effectively. Amendments to the SWPPP shall be submitted for review and approval by the City Engineer in the same manner specified for the initially approved SWPPP.

Amendments shall be dated and attached to the on-site SWCP document. The Contractor shall keep a copy of the SWPPP, together with updates, revisions, and amendments in a binder at the project site.

SWPPP IMPLEMENTATION
Upon approval of the SWPPP, the Contractor shall be responsible throughout the duration of the project for installing, constructing, inspecting, and maintaining the control measures included in the SWPPP and any amendments thereto and for removing and disposing of temporary control measures. This plan must be in place prior to and maintained during construction operations in accordance with City of Salinas Municipal Code Chapter 29 “Stormwater Management and Discharge Control” and City of Salinas Standard Specifications Section 13 “Design Standards for Erosion and Sediment Control”.

Unless otherwise directed by the City Engineer or specified in these Special Provisions, the Contractor’s responsibility for SWPPP implementation shall continue throughout any temporary suspension of work ordered in accordance with the Provisions in Section 8-1.06, “Suspensions”, of the State Standard Specifications. Requirements for installation, construction, inspection, maintenance, removal and disposal of control measures shall be specified in the SWPPP and are included in these Special Provisions. Soil stabilization practices and sediment control measures, including minimum requirements, shall be provided.

The requirements of the CGP and the project SWPPP are intended to be implemented on a year-round basis, not just during the part of the year when there is a high probability of a precipitation event which results in storm water runoff. The CGP permit shall be implemented at the appropriate level and in a proactive manner during all seasons until the project is deemed complete. Weekly inspections are required throughout the life of the project. Completed QSP inspection forms shall be submitted to the City Engineer via [email protected] on a weekly basis.

Additional information on the CGP can be found at the State Water Resources Control Board website:
http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/construction.shtml Per the City’s Municipal Storm Water Permit, Contractor shall employ erosion prevention and sediment control, and good housekeeping construction site management practices that result in the following outcomes on all construction sites regardless of size:
• Protection of storm drain inlets and/or adjacent waterways at all times from illicit discharges of sediment, construction debris, litter or waste

60 • No release of hazardous substances, such as oils, paints, thinners, fuels, concrete washout and other chemicals; if such a spill occurs that may threaten local water quality, Contractor must call 911 immediately and notify City Public Works staff at 831-758-7233 • Minimization of site disturbance to that portion undergoing construction only • No deposit of mud, soil, sediment, concrete washout, trash, or other similar construction-related material or waste into public rights of way and private streets, and into the City’s storm drain system and related natural resources, either by direct deposit, dropping, discharge, erosion, or tracking by construction vehicles. Any such discharges shall be cleaned up at the end of the current work shift in which the deposit occurred or at the end of the current workday, whichever comes first. • No runoff from graded areas or stockpile areas containing sediments. Stockpiles shall be adequately covered to avoid contact with rainfall and prevent soil movement by water and/or wind. Runoff containing sediments shall be captured in secondary containment structures and either treated to remove sediments prior to discharge or infiltrated on site.
• No exposure of graded areas and stockpile areas to storm water run-on. Run-on shall be controlled by diversion structures such as dikes, excavated swales, berms, or a combination of the two.

Soil stabilization of graded areas shall be in place in any portion of the site where the construction activities have temporarily (not scheduled to be re-disturbed for at least 14 days) or permanently ceased. • All hard-surfaced areas are to be swept regularly and kept free of dirt and construction debris such that the surface of the pavement is clearly visible at all locations.

Activities to be performed by Contractor include, but are not limited to:
 Contractor shall maintain a copy of the SWPPP onsite at all times; the SWPPP shall be up-to-date and include a copy of all QSP inspections.
 Contractor shall maintain the temporary and permanent vegetation (if any), erosion and sediment control measures, and other protective measures in good and effective operating condition by performing routine inspections to determine condition and effectiveness, by restoration of destroyed vegetative cover, and by repair of erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures.
 Contractor shall inspect the following areas at least once every seven (7) calendar days and within 24 hours prior to and 48 hours after any predicted storm:
o Disturbed areas of the construction site,
o Areas that have not been finally stabilized,
o Areas used for storage of materials exposed to precipitation, and o Areas where vehicles exit the site
Where sites have been finally stabilized, such inspection shall be conducted at least once every month.  Areas noted above shall be inspected for evidence of, or potential for o Erosion, or
o Sediments entering waterways or the storm drainage system, or o Pollutants entering waterways or the storm drainage system.

61 Erosion and sediment control measures shall be observed and maintained to ensure that they are operating correctly. Discharge locations or points shall be inspected to ascertain whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing sedimentation and subsequent degradation of receiving water quality in violation of receiving water quality standards. Locations where vehicles exit the site shall be inspected for evidence of offsite sediment tracking. Deficiencies observed during inspections shall be noted and rectified before the end of the workday.

Implementation of soil stabilization practices and sediment control measures for soil-disturbed areas of the project site shall be completed, except as provided for below, no later than 20 calendar days prior to the beginning of the rainy season (Oct 1) or upon start of applicable construction activities for projects which begin either during or within 20 calendar days of the rainy season.

Throughout the rainy season, Oct 1 – Apr 30, the active, soil-disturbed area of the project site shall be no more than 2.5 acres. The City Engineer may approve, on a case-by-case basis, expansions of the active, soil-disturbed area limit. The Contractor shall demonstrate the ability and preparedness to fully deploy soil stabilization practices and sediment control measures to protect soil-disturbed areas of the project site before the onset of precipitation. The Contractor shall maintain a quantity of soil stabilization and sediment control materials on site equal to 125% of that sufficient to protect unprotected, soil-disturbed areas on the project site and shall maintain a detailed plan for the mobilization of sufficient labor and equipment to fully deploy control measures required to protect unprotected, soil-disturbed areas on the project site prior to the onset of precipitation. The Contractor shall include a current inventory of control measure materials and the detailed mobilization plan as part of the SWPPP.

Throughout the rainy season, soil-disturbed areas of the project site shall be considered to be nonactive whenever soil-disturbing activities are expected to be discontinued for a period of 20 or more calendar days, and the areas are fully protected. Areas that shall become inactive either during the rainy season or within 20 calendar days thereof shall be fully protected with soil stabilization practices, and sediment control measures within 10 calendar days of the discontinuance of soil disturbing activities or prior to the onset of precipitation, whichever is first to occur.

Throughout the rainy season, active soil-disturbed areas of the project site shall be fully protected at the end of each day with soil stabilization practices and sediment control measures unless precipitation is not predicted through the following workday. Stockpiles, however, must be covered by the end of each workday during the rainy season. The Contractor shall monitor the weather forecast on a daily basis. The National Weather Service forecast shall be used, or an alternative weather forecast proposed by the Contractor may be used if approved by the City Engineer. If precipitation is predicted prior to the end of the following workday, construction scheduling shall be modified, as required, and the Contractor shall deploy functioning control measures prior to the onset of the precipitation.

The Contractor shall implement, year-round and throughout the duration of the project, control measures included in the SWPPP for sediment tracking, wind erosion, non-storm water management, materials management, and waste management and disposal. This specific project shall require that Contractor prevent any concrete, cement slurry, soil or other material to go into the Stormwater Drainage system. After pouring concrete for foundation and trench, Drum truck shoot and other concrete instruments shall be cleaned in a designated concrete washout area per Caltrans Construction BMP WM-08 and the washout contents disposed of in a proper location.

The City Engineer may order the suspension of construction operations creating water pollution if the Contractor fails to conform to the requirements of this Section as determined by the City Engineer.

The Contractor shall become fully informed of, and comply with the applicable Federal, State, City of Salinas, local regulations that govern the Contractor’s operations and storm water discharges from both the

62 project site and areas of disturbance outside the project limits during construction. Unless arrangements for disturbance of areas outside the project limits are made by the City Engineer and made part of the Contract, it is expressly agreed that the City of Salinas assumes no responsibility to the Contractor or property owner whatsoever with respect to any arrangements made between the Contractor and the property owner to allow disturbance of areas outside the project limits.

CONSTRUCION SITE MANAGEMENT
To ensure the proper implementation and functioning of erosion and sediment control measures, the Contractor shall regularly inspect and maintain the construction site for the control measures identified in the SWPPP. The Contractor shall identify corrective actions and time frames to address any deficient measures or reinitiate any measures that have been discontinued. All necessary BMP materials are included in this item.

The Contractor may obtain a copy of the City’s construction site inspection checklist; this shall be used to ensure that the necessary measures are being properly implemented, and to ensure that the control measures are functioning adequately. The Contractor shall submit one copy of each QSP site inspection record to the City Engineer via [email protected].

During the rainy season, inspections of the construction site shall be conducted by the Contractor to identify deficient measures, as follows:
 Within 48 hours prior to a forecasted storm.
 Post-storm event (within 48 hours) after all precipitation, which causes runoff capable of carrying sediment from the construction site, has ceased.
 At 24-hour intervals during extended precipitation events.  Routinely, at a minimum of once a week per the CGP.

If the Contractor or the City Engineer identifies a deficiency in the deployment or functioning of an identified control measure, the deficiency shall be corrected by the Contractor immediately, or by a later date and time if requested by the Contractor and approved by the City Engineer in writing, but not later than 72 hours from identification of the deficiency or the onset of subsequent precipitation events.

The correction of deficiencies shall be at no additional cost to the City of Salinas.

Slurry Seal

“Slurry Seal” es un sello asfaltico y es
económico al pavimento para prolongar la vida
de la calle. Este tratamiento evita fuertes gastos
de reconstrucción en el futuro.

Debido a la cantidad de calles que se estarán
haciendo el mismo día, no es posible avisarle a
qué hora se tratara su calle. Por favor le pedimos
paciencia, ya que la inconveniencia del
mantenimiento es mucho menor que la que se
necesitara si no se trata a tiempo.

Conducir o caminar sobre el pavimento con sello
fresco antes de que se seque puede dañar el sello.

EI material es altamente adhesivo, se pega en la
ropa, zapatos, alfombras, pero se puede limpiar
con algunos limpiadores disponibles en cualquier
tienda de auto partes. Lea y siga las instrucciones
del producto que compre.

Evite dar vueltas cerradas en su auto en las calles
que han sido selladas. Es preferible dar vueltas
más abiertas para no dañar las calles.

El pavimento en su calle al igual que otras calles
en su área recibirán un sello asfaltico. Por favor
evite estacionar su vehículo sobre su calle entre
las 7:00 am a 5:00 pm en la (s) siguiente(s)
fecha(s).

Su calle también tendrá avisos de “NO

Muchas Gracias por su cooperación y paciencia.

Slurry Seal
Is an asphalt seal coat that is a very economical
surface treatment that prolongs the life of the
asphalt by stopping erosion from water and
oxidation from the sun. Timely preventative
maintenance like this helps avoid extremely
costly street rebuilding in the future.

Due to the number of streets scheduled, we
cannot tell you the exact time your street will be
done. We realize the inconvenience caused by
limiting access to your street. Please consider that
the inconvenience caused at this time is very
small compared to what would later be required
if this protection were not applied.

Driving or walking on this new material before it
has cured will damage the street and will stick to
your shoes, be splattered up onto your car, and
will track onto concrete driveways, carpets and
floors. The material is highly adhesive but can be
removed from vehicles with tar removers
available from local auto parts stores. Read and
follow the directions from any products
purchased.

Emulsion aggregate slurry seal coat will be
damaged by sharp turning during the curing
phase, specifically power steering turns. This can
be avoided by making wide turns. Always be sure
the vehicle is moving before turning the steering
wheel.

City of Salinas Addendum to Caltrans SWPPP Template
SWPPP Amendment 1 - Only applicable for projects not subject to Caltrans oversight.

General

1. Caltrans ROW = City of Salinas ROW.

2. All references to the Construction General Permit (CGP) (CAS000002, Order No. 2009-2009- DWQ) includes all amendments to the CGP though the date of Contract acceptance.

3. All references to the Caltrans Storm Water Management Program (Caltrans Permit SWRCB Order No. 99-06-DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000003) shall be replaced with the City of Salinas Order No.

R3-2012-0005 (NPDES Permit No. CA004981).

4. All references to NELs and the Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit are removed (unless Active Treatment Systems, as defined by the CGP Attachment F are used).

5. The approved SWPPP, all sampling results, annual and if applicable, dewatering compliance reports, shall be submitted to the City via the State Water Board’s Storm Water Multi-Application and Report Tracking Systems (SMARTS) website unless the Special Provisions state otherwise.

6. All site discharges shall be sampled to ensure that sampling data is collected for every day with discharge during or after each qualifying storm event except for days where discharge occurs outside of working hours.) Note this will require more sampling than the Caltrans template specifies.

Construction monitoring, sampling, and REAP preparation shall be consistent with the Construction General Permit:
 Forecasted rain events shall not be defined by the amount of precipitation, only the probability of precipitation (i.e. eliminate 0.1-inch or more requirement from forecasted rain event definition so that it is consistent with the Construction General Permit definition of a likely storm event). This means that REAPS and pre-storm inspections will occur more frequently than the Caltrans template specifies.
 Qualifying rain event definition in template is revised to be consistent with Construction General Permit definition of a qualifying rain event (i.e. any event that produces 0.5-inches or more precipitation with a 48 hour or greater period between rain events).  REAPS shall be prepared 48 hours prior to any likely precipitation event. REAPs shall be implemented and made available on site no later than 24 hours prior to the likely precipitation event.

SWPPP Template Section 600.5 Best Management Practices Status Report:
 This entire section is eliminated unless the Special Provisions indicate otherwise
