OF

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Page 2 of 2 ends

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).

(Updated 03/01/03)

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 19, 1998

SUBJECT: GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF

LOCAL HIRING FOR PUBLIC WORKS
(Responsible Department – Public Works)

PURPOSE:

These administrative guidelines implement Salinas City Code Chapter 12, Article IV (the “Ordinance”).

The terms used in these Administrative Guidelines shall be defined as in the Ordinance.

GENERAL POLICY and PROCEDURE:

A. PERSONS SUBJECT TO GUIDELINES:

These guidelines apply to all Contractors and Subcontractors who provide labor or materials for any Public Works Contract that is subject to competitive bidding requirements, unless prohibited by state or federal law.

B. LOCAL HIRING GOAL:

The Contractor shall make a good faith effort to hire qualified individuals, including any Subcontractor’s work force, who are residents of the Monterey Bay area, so that no less than 50% of the Contractor’s total construction workforce, including any Subcontractor work force, measured in labor work hours, shall be comprised of Monterey Bay Area residents. The documentation required by these Guidelines is intended to show the Contractor’s, and Subcontractor’s, good faith efforts towards that goal.

C. PERSONS WHO ARE LOCAL HIRES:

The local hiring goal applies to any “qualified individual” who is in a certified state or federally approved apprenticeship program in an applicable trade or has become a journeyperson in his or her applicable trade with 5 years’ experience or more.” In order to be considered a “local hire” each qualified individual must either:

1. Reside in the Monterey Bay Area (Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties) prior to the advertisement of the competitive bid on the Public Works Contract, or,

2. Be hired through a local hiring hall that has jurisdiction over all or part of the Monterey Bay Area.

D. GOOD FAITH EFFORT:

A good faith effort on the part of the Contractor or Subcontractor shall include a review of the current local hire requirements and existing staffing for compliance with the requirements. If they are not in

59 compliance, or need to do additional hiring for the project, the Contractor or Subcontractor shall, at a minimum, perform all of the following hiring and documentation efforts:

1. Advertise for qualified Monterey Bay Area residents in trade papers and newspapers that have a general circulation within the area;

2. Contact local recruitment sources to identify qualified individuals who are Monterey Bay Area residents (Public Works Administration shall maintain a List of Potential Local Hire Recruitment Sources in the Public Works office for review by any interested party. This list shall not be considered a complete record of all sources, but rather a catalogue of contacts that may provide referral numbers for assisting Contractors in meeting their local hiring obligations. The list shall be updated periodically.); and

3. Document and submit all efforts to meet the ordinance requirements on forms available in the Bid documents and at the Salinas Public Works Department.

E. NOTICE TO SUBCONTRACTORS:

The Contractor shall include in all Contracts with Subcontractors on City Public Works Contracts the language required by Salinas City Code Section 12-32 (6).

F. REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION:

The Contractor and/or Subcontractor shall complete all of the following documents and submit them within the time specified:

1. Statement Of Good Faith For Local Hire
Every Contractor participating in a competitive Bid on a Public Works Contract shall include a completed and signed Statement of Good Faith for Local Hire form, which will be supplied in the Bid, documents. If at any time during the term of the Contract additional employees or Subcontractors are hired for the project, a revised Statement of Good Faith For Local Hire form shall be completed, signed, and submitted, including any additional employees or Subcontractors, with the weekly prevailing wage statement as required in the Plans and Specifications of the project for the week immediately following the addition of employees or Subcontractors.

2. Local Hiring Residency Compliance Form
During the term of the Contract, a Local Hiring Residency Compliance Documentation form shall be completed, signed and submitted with each weekly prevailing wage statement as required in the Plans and Specifications of the project.

G. TRACKING AND MONITORING:

At the time of Bid opening, all documents and Contract language required in the Proposal and agreement shall be checked for compliance with this Article. Any Subcontractors listed in the Proposal shall also have their Contract submissions checked for the appropriate documentation and language at that time. The City employees opening the Bids shall also determine whether the names of any Contractors, Subcontractors, or Bidders have been disqualified by the City and are not authorized to perform City Contracts. If any Bidder or Subcontractor fails to comply with the good faith local hiring provisions required by the ordinance in its bid submissions prior to awards, the Bidder shall be declared to be a non-responsive Bidder by the City. (See Salinas City Code Section 12-33)

H. ENFORCEMENT:

Attention is directed to the Provisions in Section 8-1.10, “Utility and Non-Highway Facilities” and Section 15, “Existing Highway Facilities”, of the Standard Specifications and these Special Provisions. 10-1.9 UTILITY DETERMINATION
Prior to any excavation or digging, the Contractor shall coordinate with the utility companies to locate and mark all utility mains and service laterals, including depth within the project area. Contractor shall make full determination of all underground utilities in order to prevent damage or disruption to the existing services during construction. The Contractor shall contact the Underground Service Alert (“U.S.A.”), telephone number 811, 48 hours in advance before performing any trenching or excavation work.

Contractor shall adhere to all U.S.A.-North rules and regulations. Contractor shall be responsible for protecting all utility facilities (MH lids, water valves, gas valves, etc.).

The Contractor is hereby notified that some utility conflicts, if any, may exist at the start of construction. The Contractor shall be prepared to schedule his/her work around these conflicts. The utility companies have been advised to work in close cooperation with the Contractor. While the Contractor shall be granted time extensions without penalty for utility delays if such delays impede his/her overall progress, no extra payment will be made for utility delays, except as provided in these Special Provisions. Such time extensions will furnish evidence that his/her overall progress is being delayed. Minor reassignment of work forces or equipment which may be in conflict with utility's work shall not be construed as delay in the Contractor's progress.

Utility company's work, if any, shall be done concurrently with this project and shall include work within the street right-of-way. The Contractor shall schedule and coordinate his/her installations with the utility companies to avoid any conflicts which may impede the overall progress of the project. All removals, installations, and relocations of conflicting underground and above ground utilities shall be executed by the respective utility companies at their expense.

The utilities shown on the Plans are for reference only and are based on utility company records. Known conflicts have been investigated and approximate cover indicated on Plans, if any. The Contractor shall prosecute the work exercising reasonable care not to damage any such facilities. If the Contractor, while performing the work,

92 discovers facilities not identified on the Plans, he/she shall immediately notify the utility company and the City Engineer in writing within 72 hours.

The Contractor's attention is directed to the existence of certain underground facilities that may require special precautions to be taken by the Contractor to protect the health, safety and welfare of workers and of the public.

Facilities requiring special precautions include, but are not limited to: natural gas pipelines, underground telephone, cable TV and electric supply system conductors or cables either directly buried or in duct or conduit.

The Contractor shall notify the City Engineer at least 24 hours prior to performing any work in the vicinity of such facilities.

Repair of pipes due to accidental or convenience removals (including equipment conflicts) shall be at the expense of the Contractor and no additional compensation will be allowed. 10-1.10 COORDINATION AND COOPERATION WITH UTILITY COMPANIES AND

OTHER CONTRACTORS
The Contractor shall be required to cooperate and work harmoniously with the public utility companies, other Contractors, affected property owners, tenants, and the City of Salinas during the execution of this Contract.

Prior to any work, the Contractor shall submit a schedule for his/her work reflecting coordination with other Contractors, if any, and utility companies. All work shall be coordinated to minimize delays to the overall progress of the work.
10-1.11 UNDERGROUND OBSTRUCTIONS
Other than utility work, the removal and relocation of all underground obstructions, including but not limited to sprinkler systems, water mains, or electrical conduits shall also be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be considered as included in the prices paid for the various Contract items of work as listed in the Proposal and no additional compensation shall be allowed therefore.

Repair of pipes, electrical conduits, and other appurtenances due to accidental or convenience removals shall be at the expense of the Contractor and no additional compensation shall be allowed therefore.

Traffic signal, vehicle detector loops, street lighting, or equipment damaged during construction shall be completely replaced by the Contractor or a Subcontractor specializing in traffic signal and street lighting construction. If the damaged or removed curb and gutter or sidewalk is in a pedestrian crosswalk area, the Contractor shall construct an ADA pedestrian access ramp for the handicapped as part of the restoration required by this subsection, unless otherwise approved by the jurisdictional agency through the City Engineer. At an intersection, the crosswalk area shall be considered to include, but not necessarily be limited to, the entire curb return area. If the damaged or removed curb and gutter is in an area where no sidewalk exists, the ADA pedestrian access ramp shall not be required. The ADA pedestrian access ramp shall be constructed in accordance with the notes and details shown on the Plans, or, on the absence thereof, the requirements of the jurisdictional agency as furnished by the City Engineer. In the event field conditions necessitate a change of Plan which requires the removal of curb and gutter or sidewalk not previously requiring removal within pedestrian crosswalk areas as described above, the Contractor shall construct a ADA pedestrian access ramp, and payment therefore shall be made under the Provisions of Section 4-1.05, ”Changes and Extra Work” of the State Standard Specifications. The ADA pedestrian access ramp shall be constructed in accordance with City of Salinas Details provided by the City Engineer.
10-1.12 EXAMINATION OF SITE
Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder shall carefully examine the Plans and Specifications relating hereto. He/she shall also visit the site of the proposed work and shall fully inform himself/herself as to all the existing conditions relating to the construction and related labor so that he/she may fully understand the facilities, difficulties, restrictions attendant on the execution of the work, limitations applying to the work, and he/she shall estimate and

93 include in his/her Bid a sum sufficient to cover the cost of all items which are required to attain the completed conditions contemplated in the project.
10-1.13 SUBMITTALS/DRAWINGS OF RECORD/CRITERIA FOR FURNISHING PLANS

AND SPECIFICATIONS TO CONTRACTOR

SHOP DRAWING
The Contractor shall review, stamp, and sign with his/her approval and submit, with promptness and in orderly sequence so as to cause no delay in the work or in the work of any Contractor, all shop drawings and samples required by the Contract Documents or subsequently by the City Engineer as covered by modifications. Shop drawings and samples shall be properly identified as specified, or as the City Engineer may require. At the time of submission, the Contractor shall especially inform the City Engineer in writing of any deviation in the shop drawings or samples from the requirements of the Contract Documents (the mere inclusion of the information is not sufficient notice).

Shop drawings, including manufacturer's literature, catalog cuts, or other printed material shall be entitled with the name of the product on each sheet and shall otherwise be identified by listing the particular Division, Section Article or reference of the work pertaining thereto. Differing items shall not be submitted on the same sheet.

For all shop drawings, submit one reproducible copy with one print of each drawing, rolled in a mailing tube and fully protected for shipment. Provide a clear space of sufficient size for stamping and comments on each shop drawing. For the purpose of these Specifications, a reproducible copy shall mean the original tracing or a legible, double-coated reproducible sepia print, positive side up.

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.

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.

94 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.

RECORD DRAWINGS
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 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 and may be recorded and submitted via readily electronic media such as CD, DVD or USB memory.

The “Record Drawing” shall be accurate and up-to-date with approval of the City Engineer before each progress payment shall be made.
10-1.14 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. Where applicable, City of Salinas Code Chapter 36A Water Conservation will take priority.

95 10-1.15 CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS
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. The City may have staging areas available for use with a written agreement. The contractor shall notify the City Engineer upon receipt of the Notice of Award if he/she would like a list of possible available City owned sites.
10-1.16 CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS AND STAKING
All field construction surveying required for accurate location of the various items of work on the contract shall be furnished by the Contractor.

Prior to beginning construction operations in the field, the Contractor shall tie out all such project control monuments for use in reconstructing project control monuments lost or disturbed during construction.

Contractor shall comply with all air pollution and environmental control rules, regulations, ordinances, and statues that apply to the project and any work performed pursuant to the contract. Salinas City Code Chapter 29-9 states:
“No person shall contribute or cause to be contributed, directly or indirectly, to the city's storm drainage system any pollutant, wastewater or any substance or material which will interfere with the operation or performance of the storm drainage system, violate the city's NPDES permit or violate other applicable law or regulations.” The Contractor shall comply with the State’s current Construction Stormwater General Permit. Projects that (1) disturb one or more acres of soil, or (2) disturb less than an acre but are part of a larger common plan of development are required to obtain coverage under the State’s General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater associated with Construction Activity, Construction General Permit Order 2009-0009-DWQ. 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.

CONTRUCTION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Best Management Practices (BMPs) for construction sites include but are not limited to: spill prevention and control measures; solid waste containment; concrete waste management; proper vehicle and equipment cleaning, fueling, and maintenance; erosion and sediment control measures. Detailed procedures for each of these activities can be found through the California Stormwater Quality Association’s Construction BMP Handbook Portal, the Caltrans Storm Water Quality Manuals, the Caltrans Erosion Control Toolbox, and the City of Salinas’ storm water program.

Contractor shall prepare and maintain a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan consistent with construction BMPs.

https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/construction/documents/environmental-compliance/field-guide- to-construction-site-dewatering-a11y.pdf
The Contractor shall consider these objectives and their minimum requirements for each of the above categories as presented in this document. When minimum requirements are listed for any category, the Contractor shall incorporate all of the listed minimum controls required into the Sediment Control Plan and implement these on the project site in order to meet the stormwater protection 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 Sediment Control Plan 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.

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
• 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

105
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 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.

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 stockpile/staging 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.

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 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

106
arrangements made between the Contractor and the property owner to allow disturbance of areas outside the project limits.

CONSTRUCTION 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.

Protection of storm drain inlets and/or adjacent waterways shall be in place at all times during construction.

Stockpiles shall be adequately covered to avoid contact with rainfall and prevent soil movement by water and/or wind.

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

(insert business name)
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
PARKING” (NO ESTACIONARSE) de 48 a
72 horas con previo aviso como recordatorio.

Le pedimos disculpas por la inconveniencia que
esto le pueda ocasionar. Por favor estacione y
utilice las calles que no tengan avisos de “NO

vehículos que se encuentren dentro de las áreas
que muestren “NO PARKING” y los gastos
corren por cuenta del dueño del vehículo.

Su calle será completamente cerrada por 4 o 5
horas, al menos que se le indique de otra manera
por medio de personal autorizado. Por favor no
transite la calle hasta que el sello se seque
completamente, esto ocurre dependiendo del

calles cerradas. Por favor no permita que el agua
corra por su calle durante este periodo de
rehabilitación sobre su calle.

El estado del tiempo puede ocasionar cambios en
el orden de trabajo, en dado caso que el tiempo no
permita llevar acabo el trabajo, se le avisara
nuevamente con la nueva fecha.

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.

DETAIL B
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
