RESOLUTION OF CONSTRUCTION CLAIMS
Any public works claims arising under this contract which the Contractor wishes to assert against the Governing Agency shall be governed by California Public Contract Code Section 9204. Claims which do not exceed three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000) are also subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 of the California Public Contract Code (commencing with Section 20104). Pursuant to California Public Contracts Code Section 9204, claims shall be resolved as follows:
(d) (1) (A) Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, the public entity to which the claim applies shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision. (B) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. (C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.
(2) (A) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public entity and the claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator.
If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section.
(C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

Packet Pg. 242 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) Agreement Fire Station No. 16 Replacement Project
Page A-4 City Project No. C9823
(E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute. (3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant. (4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum. (5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on their own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.
A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations.

Such information shall be used as a basis for bids at the bidder's own and sole risk; making such information available to bidders is not to be construed in any way as a waiver of the other provisions of this paragraph, and bidders must satisfy themselves through their own investigation as to the surface and subsurface conditions to be encountered at the site. By submitting a Proposal, the Bidder has certified that they have examined all items indicated in Section 2.07, "Examination of Plans, Specifications, and Site of the Work." Each proposal shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope and endorsed as specified in the Notice Invited Sealed Proposals. Bidders are warned the proposals containing irregularities of any kind, including erasures, omissions, conditions, alterations, or additional proposals may be rejected.
2.08 Withdrawals of Proposals - Any proposal may be withdrawn at any time prior to the time fixed in the Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals for the opening of bids, provided that a request in writing, executed by the bidder or their duly authorized representative, for the withdrawal of such bid, is filed with the City. The withdrawal will not prejudice the right of a bidder to file a new proposal.
2.09 Proposal Guaranty - Each proposal shall be accompanied by either a certified check, cashier's check, or bidder's bond of a surety company acceptable to the City in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the bid amount, and shall be made payable to the City.
2.10 Disqualification of Bidders - More than one proposal from an individual, firm or partnership, a corporation, or an association under the same or different names will not be considered.
Reasonable grounds for believing that any bidder is interested in more than one proposal for the work will be the cause of the rejection of all proposals in which such bidder is interested. If there is a reason to believe that collusion exists among the bidders, none of the participants in such collusion will be considered. Proposals in which the prices obviously are unbalanced may be rejected.
2.11 Bid Protest Procedures – Any protest of the proposed contract award shall be submitted in writing to the City Clerk no later than 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) business day following the date of the
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 265 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-8 Project No. C1737-22
bid opening. If the fifth day falls on a weekend or holiday, the last day of the protest period shall be the first working day following the fifth day.
The protest must include the name, address, and telephone number of the person representing the protesting party. In addition,
(a) The party filing the protest must have submitted a bid for the Project. A Subcontractor of a party filing a bid for the project may not submit a bid protest. (b) The protest must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest, and refer to the specific portion of the Contract Documents or the specific statute that forms the basis for the protest.
(c) The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the protest to the proposed awardee.
Any bidder’s failure to fully comply with these procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue a bid protest, including filing of a challenge of the award pursuant to the California Public Contract Code, filing of a claim pursuant to the California Government Code, or filing of any other legal proceedings.
The City shall review all timely protests prior to the award of contract. The City shall not be required to hold an administrative hearing to consider any protests, but may do so at its option. The City Council or the City Manager as designee if the authority to award the contract has already been granted by the City Council, may either reject the protest and award the project to the lowest responsible bidder or accept the protest and award the project to the next lowest responsible bidder. Nothing in this section shall be construed as a waiver of the City Council’s right to reject all bids.
2.12 List of Subcontractors - In accordance with the provisions of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, each proposal shall list the name, address and license number of each subcontractor to whom the bidder proposes to sublet portions of the work. A subcontractor is defined as one who contracts with the contractor to furnish materials and labor, or labor only, for performance of work.
Subcontractors shall be listed on the form provided in the Bid Proposal.
2.13 Required Contractor and Subcontractor Registration - In accordance with Labor Code Section 1725.5 and 1771.1, the contractor and all subcontractors shall be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) prior to the bid opening. All 2nd and lower tier subcontractors working on the project shall be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations prior to the work being performed. An inadvertent error in listing a subcontractor who is not registered may not be grounds for considering the bid non-responsive providing that any of the provision in Labor Code Section 1771.1(c) are satisfied.

SECTION 3: REVIEW OF BIDS, CONTRACT AWARD AND EXECUTION
3.01 Public Bid Opening and Initial Review - Bids which have been submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Bidding Documents, and which are received on or before the bid deadline will be opened publicly, and the dollar amounts of each bid shall be read aloud.
The City shall have the right to reject all bids. The City shall have the right to reject any bid not accompanied by the required bid security or any other item required by the Bidding Documents, or a bid which is in any other way incomplete or irregular. The City shall have the right to waive irregularities in a bid, and to award the Contract to the Lowest Responsible Bidder (as determined by the City), only if the irregularities are non-material and inconsequential.
3.02 Determination of Lowest Responsible Bidder - Criteria for determining low bid in all contracts with the City involving an expenditure of $5,000.00 or more shall be determined as the “Lowest Monetary Bidder” on the basis of the Engineer’s approximate estimate of the quantities of work to be done as set forth in the Bid Schedule, in accordance with the calculation criteria set forth on the bid.
After the Lowest Monetary Bidder has been determined, the Engineer shall review that Bidder’s bid in order to determine whether or not that Bidder is the “Lowest Responsible Bidder.” The term Lowest Responsible Bidder shall mean the Lowest Monetary Bidder whose bid is responsive, and who is responsible to perform the work, as required by the Contract Documents.
The term “responsive” is defined by California law, but generally means that the bid has been prepared and submitted in accordance with the Bidding Requirements. The term “responsible” is defined by California law, but generally means that the Bidder is able to demonstrate that it possesses: (1) the capacity to perform the work required by the Contract Documents with respect to financial strength, resources available, and experience; and (2) the integrity and trustworthiness to complete performance of the work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
The City will make its determination of responsibility based upon information submitted by Bidders contained in the Bidders Qualifications and Bidders References included in the Bid Forms and, if necessary, through interviews with previous cities, clients, design professionals, or subcontractors with whom the Bidder has worked. In determining whether or not a Bidder is responsible, the City may consider the following factors in relation to the work to be performed for this Project:
(a) Demonstrated financial strength including, but not limited to, resources available, bonding capacity, and available insurance.
(b) Demonstrated safety record including, but not limited to, Experience Modification Rate. (c) Successful completion of projects of similar scope and size. In reviewing this factor, the City may consider elements including, but not limited to, contract amount of completed projects, experience on public works projects, experience implementing prevailing wage certified payroll requirements, timeliness of performance and, if necessary, evaluation of the Bidder’s work by previous cities, clients, design professionals, or subcontractors. (d) Sufficiency of contract administration and construction management systems including, but not limited to, proposed scheduling tools, proposed subcontract forms, proposed progress payment applications, and proposed certification of payroll documents. (e) History of claims, litigation, termination or disqualification from projects.
If the Engineer finds that the Lowest Monetary Bidder submitted a responsive Bid and that the Bidder is responsible, then that Bidder shall be deemed the apparent “Lowest Responsible Bidder,” and the Engineer shall report the findings to the City Council.
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 267 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-10 Project No. C1737-22
If the Engineer finds that the Lowest Monetary Bidder’s bid is not responsive, or that the Lowest Monetary Bidder is not responsible, then the Engineer may review the responsiveness and responsibility of the next Lowest Monetary Bidder. If the Engineer finds that the next Lowest Monetary Bidder is responsive and responsible, then that next lowest Bidder shall be deemed the apparent “Lowest Responsible Bidder,” and Engineer shall report its findings as recommendations to the City Council. This process may continue until the Engineer finds the Lowest Monetary Bidder which is also responsive and responsible.
In the event that one or more Low Monetary Bidders are found by the Engineer to be nonresponsive or non-responsible, those Bidders will be given notice and a reasonable opportunity to present additional relevant evidence to the Engineer for consideration, within five (5) working days after the Bidder receives the notice.
All findings by the Engineer shall be reported as recommendations to the City Council. The City Council reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, and to waive any irregularity. No Bid shall be binding upon the City until after the Agreement is signed by both the Contractor and the City. If the City Council determines that it is in the City’s best interest to award the Agreement, a Notice of Award shall be sent to the Lowest Responsible Bidder as determined by the City Council. The City Council’s decision shall be final.
The City may investigate the responsibility and qualifications of all Bidders to whom the award is contemplated for a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days after the Bid opening, during which time no bid shall be withdrawn by the Bidders. The ninety (90) day review period may be extended upon the written request by the Engineer and written approval by the affected Bidder.
3.03 Notice of Award – Should the City decide to proceed with the award of contract the City shall issue a Notice of Award to the lowest responsible bidder.
3.04 Contract Execution - Within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Award, the bidder shall submit to the City two (2) originals of the signed agreement, the required contract bonds and certificates of insurance. If the bidder fails or refuses to enter into a contract to do the work, then the proposal guaranty accompanying the bid shall be forfeited to the City. After the Bidder has properly submitted these documents, the City will execute the Agreement and issue a Notice to Proceed.
3.05 Status of Contractor - The right of general supervision by the City shall not make the contractor an agent of the City, and the liability of the contractor for all damages to persons or to public or private property arising from the contractor's execution of the work shall not be lessened because of such general supervision.
3.06 Assignment - No agreement or portion thereof maybe assigned without consent of the Council, except that the Contractor may assign money due which will accrue to them under the Agreement. If given written notice, such assignment will be recognized by the City to the extent permitted by law, but any assignment of money shall be subject to all proper setoffs and withholdings in favor of the City and to all deductions provided for in the Agreement. All money withheld, whether assigned or not, shall be subject to being used by the City for completion of the work, should the Contractor be in default.
Any attempt to assign or delegate the Agreement without the written consent of the City shall be void and of no force and effect. Consent by the City to one assignment shall not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent assignment.
3.07 Recognition of Subcontractors - No subcontractors will be recognized as such, and all persons engaged in the work of construction will be considered as employees of the contractor and their work shall be subject to the provisions of the contract, including specifically these general stipulations, the specifications and the contract drawings.

All other proposal guarantees will be held until the Agreement has been fully executed, after which, they will be returned to the respective bidders whose proposals they accompanied.
3.09 Forfeiture of Proposal Guaranty - If Bidder does not properly execute the contract and submit the acceptable bonds, insurance and certifications within the specified time; this shall be just cause for the annulment of the award and the forfeiture of the proposal guaranty to the City. The City may then award the contract to next Lowest Responsible Bidder. The forfeited proposal guaranty may be utilized by the City in accordance with Public Contract Code, Sections 20170 through 20174.

SECTION 4 - SCOPE AND CONTROL OF WORK
4.01 Work to be Done – The work to be done consists of furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment and services necessary to complete the project, as further described in the Notice to Bidders of these Specifications, and as necessary to leave the site in a neat and finished condition with all equipment properly installed and working to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
While the City has endeavored to accurately represent in the plans and specifications the physical conditions which may affect the cost of the proposed work, the City does not warrant the completeness or accuracy of such information. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain the existence of any such conditions affecting the cost of the work, which would have been disclosed by reasonable examination of the site.
Conclusions pertaining to any test, investigation, statement or estimate of fact incorporated in the plans and specifications shall be considered by the Contractor to be a recommendation only. The Contractor may request equal access to the underlying or background information to arrive at an independent opinion thereon, including thedetermination of how reliable might be any conclusion appearing in (or inferred from) the information. The Contractor may not rely upon “record drawings” or similar final or accepted drawings or maps constructed on public or private property. Such information may be used for reference only. Actual locations and depths shall be determined by field investigations by the Contractor.
No oral or telephonic agreement or conversation with any officer, agent, or employee of the City or the Engineer, either before or after execution of the contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations contained in any of the contract documents.
4.02 Plans and Specifications - It is the intent of the Plans and Specifications to describe a functionally complete project (or part thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. For convenience, the Specifications are arranged in several sections, but such separation shall not be considered as the limits of the work required by any separate trade. The terms and conditions of such limitations are wholly between the Contractor and the project subcontractors. In general, the Special Provisions, General Provisions, and other sections of the specifications indicate the responsibilities of the Contractor and the quality of material and methods of workmanship. The plans indicate dimensions, quantities, positions, and various other details of construction.
Any work, materials or equipment that may be reasonably inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to produce the intended result shall be supplied whether or not specifically called for.
When words, which have a well-known technical or trade meaning, are used to describe the work, materials or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. See General Provisions, Section 6.03, “Trade Names or Equals”.
Subheadings and titles printed on the drawings in these General Provisions, in the specifications, and elsewhere in the contract documents, are inserted for the convenience of reference only, and shall not be taken or considered as having any bearing on the interpretation thereof.
4.03 References to Standards and Codes - Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or association, or to the Laws or Regulations of any governmental authority, whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code or Laws or Regulations in effect at the time of the opening of bids (or, on the Effective Date of the Agreement if there were no bids), except as may be otherwise specifically stated. However, no provisions of any referenced standard specifications, manual or code (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference in the Contract Documents) shall be effective to change the duties and responsibilities of City, Contractor or Engineer, or any of their consultants, agents or employees, from those set forth in the Contract Documents, nor shall it be effective to assign to the Engineer, or any of the Engineer’s Consultants, agents or employees, any duty or authority to supervise
7.j.2

4.04 Authority of the Engineer – The City has the final authority in all matters affecting the work. Within the scope of the Agreement, the Engineer has the authority to enforce compliance with the Plans and Specifications and the Contractor shall promptly comply with instructions from the Engineer.
The decision of the Engineer is final and binding on all questions relating to: quantities; acceptability of materials furnished and work performed; equipment; work execution, rate of progress or sequence of work; and interpretation of the Plans, Specifications, or other drawings. This shall be precedent to any payment under the Agreement, unless otherwise ordered by the City.
4.05 Contract Documents and Precedence - The Contract Documents consist of the documents listed below, in order of precedence. If there is a conflict between component parts of the Contract Documents, the document highest in precedence controls. (a) Change Orders.

All of the individual components of the Contract Documents are intended to be complementary and what is required by one shall be binding as if required by all. Interpretation of a disputed meaning or intent of the plans and specifications shall be made initially by the Engineer in accordance with the application of the order of precedence. Any final decision required regarding precedence and the clarification of discrepancies in the Contract Documents shall be made by the Engineer.
4.06 Interpretation of Specifications and Drawings - The specifications and the contract drawings are intended to be explanatory of each other. Any work indicated in the contract drawings and not in the specifications, or vice versa, is to be executed as if indicated in both. Should it appear that the work to be done, or any of the matters relative thereto are not sufficiently detailed or explained in these contract documents, including the contract drawings, the contractor shall apply in writing to the Engineer for such further explanations as may be necessary and shall conform thereto as part of this contract so far as may be consist with the terms of the contract. Should any doubt or question arise respecting the true meaning of the specification, the Engineer shall make the final decision.
4.07 Figured Dimensions - Figured dimensions on the contract drawings shall in all cases be given precedence over scaled dimensions. If figured dimensions do not correspond to scaled
7.j.2

dimensions, contractor shall request Engineer to verify the accuracy of the figured dimensions. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to ascertain the correct scale of all contract drawings within their possession, including those which may have been reduced for reproduction.
4.08 Errors or Discrepancies - If the contractor, in the course of the work, discovers any discrepancies between the drawings and the conditions of the ground, or any errors or omissions in the drawings or in the layout given by stakes, points or instructions, shall have the duty to inform the Engineer immediately in writing, and the Engineer shall promptly verify the same. Any work done after such discovery, until authorized, will be done at the contractor’s risk.
4.09 Drawings to be Furnished by Contractor - As soon as practical after the execution of this contract, the contractor shall supply drawings of devices to be furnished hereunder as are called for herein or as are required by the Engineer to make clear the details of construction and to demonstrate fully that all materials and equipment comply with the intent and provisions of this contract. Unless otherwise herein specified, such drawings shall be submitted to the Engineer for review. Should the Engineer take exception with any drawings furnished by the contractor, the contractor shall make the revisions required, and resubmit them to the Engineer for review. After a satisfactory review by the Engineer, these drawings shall become a part of this contract and the work shall be done in conformity therewith. No such work shall be begun or devices purchased until the review of the drawings detailing such items have been completed. The review of the drawings shall not relieve the contractor of responsibility, or waive or modify any of the provisions or requirements of this contract.
The Engineer's review of drawings submitted by the contractor will be for, and will cover, only generally conformity to the plans and specifications and will not constitute a blanket approval of all dimensions, quantities and details of the material or equipment shown by (nor shall review relieve the contractor of responsibility for errors contained in) such drawings.
All shop drawings submitted by the various subcontractors which require review of the City's representative shall first be sent to the contractor who shall keep a record of the drawing numbers and the date of their receipt.. Contractor shall submit the drawings to City's representative for review in time to prevent delays in delivery of materials.
Contractor shall thoroughly check all such shop drawings for measurements, size of member, materials and details to make sure they conform to the intent of the plans and specifications. Drawings found to be inaccurate or otherwise in error shall be returned by the contractor to the subcontractor for correction before they are submitted by the contractor to the City's representative for review.
4.10 Additional Drawings by City - Contract drawings are intended to be comprehensive and to indicate in detail the scope of the work. However, the Engineer may furnish the contractor additional drawings during the progress of the work in order to clarify and define in greater detail the intent of the contract drawings or specifications. Contractor may request such detailed drawings by submitting a request in writing to the Engineer at least two (2) weeks in advance of the time they are required.
4.11 Lines and Grades - All work under this contract shall be constructed to the lines, grades and elevations shown on the contract drawings. Contractor shall establish the lines, grades and elevations unless it is otherwise specified in the Special Provisions.
4.12 Record Documents – The Contractor shall keep at the worksite a record copy of all Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Written Amendments, Change Orders, Work Directives, Field Orders and written interpretations and clarifications. These record documents together with all approved submittals, samples and shop drawings will be available to the Engineer as a reference at all times. Upon completion of the work, these record documents will be delivered to Engineer.
4.13 Record Drawings –The Contractor shall prepare and update a master “as-built” set of red ink-lined plans, to be reviewed and approved by the Engineer at the end of every month. Drawings shall contain information showing where actual installation differs from that shown on the original drawings, where
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 274 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-17 Project No. C1737-22
underground or concealed features are found noting alignment (to 0.25’) and elevation (to 0.1’ ), field changes or deletions of work, and any additional work by change order. Upon the project’s completion, and prior to the project’s acceptance, the Contractor shall submit to the City the completed as-built record Drawings on one (1) set of full size prints prepared on 22" x 34" paper.
Record Drawings are full size drawings (Plans) which marked up during construction to delineate the actual in-place constructed conditions. Record Drawings shall be provided by the Contractor for this Project. Requirements for Record Drawings as specified elsewhere shall supplement the requirements specified herein.
4.14 Reuse of Documents - Neither the Contractor nor any Subcontractor or supplier or other person or organization performing or furnishing any of the work under a direct or indirect agreement with the City shall have any title or rights to any of the Drawings, Specifications or other documents (or copies thereof) which bear the seal of the design engineer. Such documents shall not be reused on extensions of the project or for any other project without written consent of the City and the design engineer.
4.15 Subsurface Data – If completed, all soil and soil test data, water table elevations, and soil analyses included or referred to in the Contract Documents apply only at the location of the test holes and to the depths indicated. If completed, soil test reports for test holes which have been drilled are available for inspection at the office of the Engineer. Any additional subsurface exploration shall be done by Bidders or the Contractor at their own expense.
The elevation of the water table indicated by soil test reports is that which existed on the date the test hole was drilled. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to determine and allow for the possibility of differing ground water elevations on the date of the project’s construction. A difference in elevation between ground water shown in soil boring logs and ground water actually encountered during construction will not be considered as a basis for extra work.
4.16 Right-of-Way – Acquisition of right-of-way or permanent easements necessary for the improvements as shown on the plans will be provided by the City. Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall make any required arrangements, pay for, and assume all responsibility for acquiring, using, and disposing of additional work areas, easements, and temporary facilities required. Contractor shall identify and hold the City harmless from all claims for damages resulting from such actions.
4.17 Removal of Defective and Unauthorized Work - Should the Contractor deliberately proceed with any portion or phase of construction which is obviously incorrectly indicated in the contract plans or documents, he shall be responsible for any corrective measures required to make adequate repairs or adjustment. This shall include any work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the plans or established by the Engineer, or any extra work done without written authority.
All work that has been rejected shall be remedied or removed and replaced by the Contractor in an acceptable manner and no compensation will be allowed for such removal or replacement. If the Contractor fails to remedy rejected work within ten (10) working days after written demand, the City may, without prejudice to other remedies, sell such materials at auction or at private sale, or otherwise dispose of such material. The Contractor shall be entitled to the proceeds of such sale, if any, in excess of the costs and damages for which the Contractor is liable to the City, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and compensation for the City’s services and expenses.
4.18 Acceptance of Defective Work - The City shall have the option, at its sole discretion and by written notice to the Contractor, to accept defective work instead of requiring its removal or correction, in which case the contract sum shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the value to the City such work would have were it complete, correct, and in conformity with the Contract Documents and the value to the City of such defective work. Such option shall be exercised solely by written notice to the Contractor and shall not be implied from any act or omission by the City or the Engineer. If the remaining payments and retention are insufficient to cover the amount of the reduction of the contract sum, the Contractor shall promptly pay to the City the amount of any such deficiency.

4.19 Submittals - Within ten (10) working days following the Notice to Proceed, the Contractor shall provide a detailed list for review and approval of all individual submittals required to be submitted under the contract. The list shall reference the specification section and paragraph that requires the submittal along with the date the Contractor plans to transmit the submittal to the City for review.
Unless otherwise requested by the Engineer, submittals shall be provided electronically in .pdf format at least twenty-eight (28) calendar days prior to the approval being necessary for the work.
Submittals shall be transmitted with a Submittal Cover Letter form as approved by the Engineer. Large submittals consisting of reports, oversized or colored pages, full sized shop drawings, manuals contained in binders, or submittals in other forms not easily reproduced shall be provided in hard copy format with six (6) copies.
For items requiring shop drawings, no materials shall be furnished, and no work shall be performed, until the drawings have been favorably reviewed. Shop drawings shall be of a size and scale to clearly show all necessary details.
After review by the City of each of the Contractor's submittals, the material will be returned to the Contractor marked with actions defined as follows:
(a) NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN - Accepted subject to its compatibility with future submissions and additional partial submissions for portions of the work not covered in this submission.
Does not constitute acceptance of deletion of specified or required items not shown in a partial submission.
(b) MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED - The same as item (a), except that minor corrections as noted by the City shall be made by the Contractor. No resubmission is required. (c) REVISE AND RESUBMIT - Rejected because of major inconsistencies or errors which shall be resolved or corrected by the Contractor prior to subsequent review by the City. (d) REJECTED - Submitted material does not conform to plans and Specifications in major respects. This material is not expected to be resubmitted. (e) SUBMIT SPECIFIED ITEM - Submittals not reviewed by the City but received for record purposes.
Favorable review of the shop drawings by the Engineer is interpreted to mean that there is substantial and acceptable conformance with the contract plans, but details of design may not necessarily be checked for adequacy or accuracy. Such acceptance shall not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility for errors or omissions in the shop drawings or from deviations from the contract documents unless such errors, omissions, or deviations were specifically called to the attention of the Engineer in writing. The Contractor shall be responsible for the correctness of the shop drawings, for shop fits and field corrections, and for the results obtained by the use of such plans.
4.20 Substitutions – Proposed requests by the Contractor for changes in products, materials, equipment, and methods of construction required under the Contract Documents after the award of contract are considered "requests for substitutions.” For proposed “or equal” substitutions, attention is directed to General Provision Section 6.03, “Trade Names or Equals.” Each request for substitution shall be prepared and presented to the City in accordance with the procedures for submittals, except that the following additional information shall be provided. (a) An explanation of the advantages to the City for accepting the substitution. (b) A comparison of significant qualities of the proposed substitution with those specified. (c) A list of changes or modifications needed to other parts of the work and to construction performed by the City and separate Contractors, that will be necessary to accommodate the proposed substitution.

(d) A statement indicating the substitution's effect on the Construction Schedule compared to the Baseline Construction Schedule without acceptance of the substitution. Indicate the effect of the proposed substitution on overall contract time. (e) Cost information, including a proposal of the net change, if any, in the Contract Sum. (f) Certification that the substitution is equal to or better in every respect to that required by Contract Documents, and that it will perform adequately in application indicated. Include Contractor's waiver of rights to additional payment or time extensions, that may be necessary because of the substitution's failure to perform adequately.
No extension of time will be allowed through failure of the Contractor to either transmit requests for substitution sufficiently in advance of the work, or on account of processing time outside the time limits noted.
4.21 Construction Staking Lines and Grades - Unless otherwise stated in the Special Provisions, the Contractor shall provide, preserve, and replace if necessary, all of the necessary construction stakes required for the construction of the project. Grades for underground conduits will be set on the ground surface and shall then be transferred to the bottom of the trench by the Contractor.
Stakes or marks will be set by a California Licensed Surveyor or a California Registered Civil Engineer to establish the lines and grades required for the completion of the work as specified in the Contract Documents. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the Engineer of any discrepancies found between field grades and notes shown within the Contract Documents.
Contractor shall furnish horizontal control and cut sheets to the Engineer immediately upon the setting of construction or boundary markers. Upon completion, all work shall conform to the lines, elevations, and grades shown on the plans.
4.22 Inspection of the Work - All work is subject to inspection and approval of the Engineer.
Unless otherwise stated in the specifications, the City shall perform all required inspections. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer before noon of the working day before inspection is required. Unless otherwise authorized, work shall be done only in the presence of the Engineer. Any work done without proper inspection will be subject to rejection. The Engineer shall at all times have access to the work during its construction at shops and yards as well as the project site. The Contractor shall provide every reasonable facility for ascertaining that the materials and workmanship are in accordance with the Contract Documents. Inspection of the work shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to fulfill all conditions of the contract.
If a portion of the work is covered contrary to the Engineer’s request or direction, or contrary to the requirements of the Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by the Engineer, be uncovered for the Engineer’s observation and be replaced at Contractor’s expense without adjustment of the contract time or the contract sum.
If a portion of the work has been covered, which is not required by the Contract Documents to be observed or inspected prior to it’s being covered and which the Engineer has not specifically requested to observe prior to it’s being covered, the Engineer may request to see such work and it shall be uncovered and replaced by Contractor. If such work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, the costs of uncovering and replacing the work shall be added to the contract sum by change order; and if the uncovering and replacing of the work extends the contract time, an appropriate adjustment of the contract time shall be made by change order. If such work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs and shall not be entitled to an adjustment of the contract time or the contract sum.
Regular working hours for City Construction Inspectors are between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding City holidays. If the Contractor works outside these times, the Contractor may be charged for additional inspection. Inspection by the Engineer or by a City inspector, or
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 277 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-20 Project No. C1737-22
any order measurement, approved modifications, certificate or payment of money, or acceptance of any part of whole of the work, or any extension of time, or any possession by the City or its agents, shall not operate as a waiver for any provision of this contract or of any power reserved therein to the City, or any right to damage thereunder; no breach of this contract shall be held to a waiver of any or subsequent breach. All remedies shall be taken and construed as cumulative.
4.23 Testing - Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, all required testing will be performed directly by an independent laboratory coordinated and paid for by the City. Contractor shall cooperate with the City in coordinating the necessary testing. The coordination of testing, including the number and location of tests, shall be under the direction of the Engineer or their designee. All compaction test sites deeper than five (5’) feet below grade shall be properly shored by the Contractor to protect testing personnel.
The cost for performing re-tests due to failures, or additional call-outs if work is not ready to test, will be charged to the Contractor. The City shall require retesting until all required tests are successfully passed.

SECTION 5 – CHANGES IN WORK
5.01 Limited City Authority to Approve Change Orders - The Contractor recognizes that the City is a public agency and that it can only act through its duly authorized agents. In this regard, the Contractor agrees that only written change orders, executed by the governing body of the City, shall be valid. The Engineer shall have no authority to issue a change order unless so specifically authorized, and no person shall have authority to issue any oral change order.
5.02 Contractor Liability for Unapproved Change Orders - Unless a valid change order is issued, all changes in the work performed by the Contractor shall be at the Contractor’s own risk, and shall not be entitled to any additional compensation. Furthermore, the Contractor may be required to make the work conform to the plans and specifications. No act or series of acts by the City during the course of the contract shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of the City’s right to rely upon the provisions of this Section 5, “Changes in Work”.
5.03 Non-Material Change Requests by the Contractor - Changes in the plans and specifications requested in writing by the Contractor, which do not materially affect the work and which are not detrimental to the work or to the interests of the City, may be granted to facilitate the work, when approved in writing by the Engineer. If such changes are granted, they shall be made at a reduction in cost or at no additional cost to the City. Nothing herein shall be construed as granting a right to the Contractor to demand acceptance of such changes or to increase the contract sum or contract time as a result of the proposed change.
5.04 Effect of Extension of Time - The granting of any extension of time due to delays which, in the judgment of the City, are unavoidable delays shall in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the City of its rights under this contract.
5.05 Letters of Instruction - The Engineer may issue letters of instruction in the form of Field Orders, Clarifications, responses to Requests for Information, or any other document which makes interpretations or clarifications to the Contract Documents that do not modify the scope of work or involve an adjustment in the contract sum or contract time. Letters of Instruction shall be binding upon the Contractor, and the Contractor shall promptly carry out the requirements of such Letters of Instruction.
5.06 Requests for Information, Inconsistencies and Changed Conditions - Before undertaking each part of the work, the Contractor shall carefully study all pertinent figures shown in the Contract Documents and verify that all applicable field measurements are free of conflicts, errors, discrepancies, inconsistencies and omissions. If such conditions are discovered, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer by writing a Request for Information, and await direction from the Engineer before proceeding.
If the Contractor encounters a changed condition, as defined by one or more of the conditions below, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer by writing a Request for Information before disturbing the condition further.
(a) Material differing from that represented in the Contract which the Contractor believes may be hazardous waste, as defined by Health and Safety Code, Section 25117 that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provision of existing law; and
(b) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially from those represented in the Contract Documents; and
(c) Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work and of the character provided for in the Contract Documents.
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 279 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-22 Project No. C1737-22
No extension of Contract time shall be made by the City due to the Contractor’s failure to provide a timely written notice of any inconsistency or changed condition requiring direction. The Engineer will respond to the Contractor’s Request for Information within 10 working days, providing an interpretation, clarification or change order for an appropriate adjustment in contract time and cost pursuant to General Provisions, Section 5.07, and “Change Orders.” Contractor shall wait for the Engineer’s written response to a Request for Information before proceeding with any work.
The Contractor shall not be liable to the City for failure to report any conflict, error, or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, unless the Contractor had actual knowledge or could foresee such conditions as may be discovered by a reasonable examination of the work site or materials. If the Contractor performs any construction activity in which he knows or should know involves an error, inconsistency, ambiguity, or omission referred to in this Section, without notifying and obtaining the written consent of the Engineer, Contractor shall be responsible for the resultant costs, including, without limitation, the costs of correcting defective work. However, in an emergency affecting the safety of persons or property, the Contractor shall take all reasonably necessary precautions to prevent or minimize damage, injury, or loss.
5.07 Extra and Omitted Work - Whenever corrections, alterations or modifications of the work under this contract are ordered and approved by the Engineer and increase the amount of work to be done, such added work shall be known as Extra Work. When such corrections, alterations or modifications decrease the amount of work to be done, such deleted work shall be known as Omitted Work. The General and Special Provisions shall apply with equal force to all extra and omitted work.
When the Contractor considers that any changes ordered involve extra or omitted work, Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer in writing and subsequently keep them informed as to when and where the alleged extra work is to be performed.
When extra work reports are agreed upon and signed by both parties, they shall become the basis of payment. When extra work is still under negotiation or has not been agreed upon, the Contractor shall keep daily detailed and accurate records itemizing each element of cost and shall provide certified payroll, invoices, and other substantiating records and documentation with records and/or claims for compensation to be provided no later than 30 days following the time in which the work claiming to be extra was performed.
Unless notification of extra work is documented, and unless a complete statement of materials used and expenses incurred is furnished by the Contractor, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment of such alleged extra work, and any future claims for compensation will be invalid.
Payment for extra work shall be in accordance with General Provisions, Section 5.08 - “Change Orders”. Omitted work shall not constitute a claim for damages on account of anticipated profits on the work that may be omitted.
5.08 Change Orders – At any time during the progress of the work, and without in any way rendering void the Agreement, the City may order alterations, additions or deductions from the work by change order, without notice to sureties. When so ordered in writing, the Contractor shall proceed with work as directed by the change order.
The change order shall describe the change in the work, the adjustment of the contract sum (if any), and the adjustment of the contract time (if any). The Contractor shall not be entitled to any extension of time for the completion of the work by virtue of any change order unless the change order specifically provides for this. If, after receiving a change order, the Contractor requests an extension of time, within five (5) working days the Contractor must file a written claim to that effect for consideration by the Engineer.
The process of submitting a proposed change, a cost proposal, or negotiating an agreed upon change order, or any failure to reach an agreement as to an adjustment in the contract sum or the
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 280 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-23 Project No. C1737-22
contract time, shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to perform in accordance with the Contract Documents.
A change order may be in the form of a City directed change order or an agreed upon change order. Upon the receipt of either form of change order, the Contractor shall proceed promptly and diligently with the extra work.
(a) City Directed Change Orders - A City directed change order may be issued by the City without the Contractor’s signature where the City determines that it is in the City’s best interest to proceed with the work, and the change does not materially alter the character of the work. The Contractor shall be deemed to have accepted the terms of any City directed change order unless the Contractor asserts a claim with respect to the change order, no later than ten (10) working days following the Contractor’s receipt of the change order. See General Provisions, Section 5.09`, “Disputed Work”. (b) Agreed Upon Change Orders - Within ten (10) working days after receiving a request from the City for a written proposal for an agreed upon Change Order, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a cost proposal in a form satisfactory to the Engineer, setting forth the Contractor’s proposed adjustments to the contract sum and contract time for performing the extra work.
Change order pricing for all change orders, whether, additive, deductive, or both, will be governed by the following:
1) Prices specified in the Contract Documents will apply to cost impacts involving items for which the Contract Documents specify prices. 2) Cost impacts involving items for which the Contract Documents do not specify prices may be paid on a fixed lump sum basis as approved by the City or by Force Account.
3) Fixed Lump Sum Pricing. For cost impacts involving items for which the Contract Documents do not specify prices, the Contractor shall submit a detailed change order request which includes a line item cost for labor, materials, equipment, and overhead costs unless the City after being informed of extra work authorizes the work to be performed by Force Account. If a detailed change order request is submitted and approved the Change Order total shall be the sum of and limited to the agreed upon fixed price which shall identify the direct and indirect costs for labor, materials, equipment, and markup as calculated below.
a. Labor. The Contractor and the City shall agree upon the estimated number of hours required per worker and the Contractor shall calculate the cost of labor for the workers (including foremen when authorized by the City Representative), to be used in the direct performance of the Work. The cost of labor scheduled to be utilized in performing the Work, whether the employer is the Contractor, a subcontractor or other entity engaged in the performance of the Work, will be the sum of the following:
i. Wages. The actual hourly rates paid will include any employer fringe benefit payments to or on behalf of the workers for health and welfare, pension, vacation and similar purposes. The wages listed in the change order request
shall not be less than the current prevailing wage rates.
Additionally, the wage rates and fringe benefits paid must be at the rates to be shown on the certified payroll documents submitted by the Contractor.
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 281 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-24 Project No. C1737-22
ii. Labor Surcharge. The labor surcharge will be set as 30% of the Wages. The labor surcharge will constitute full
compensation for all payments imposed by State or Federal laws and for all other payments made to on behalf of,
workers engaged in the performance of the Work, it includes Workers Compensation Insurance.
b. Materials. Materials costs will be the direct costs for materials estimated to be exhausted, consumed or entering permanently into the Work, plus a fixed markup which, together with the cost of materials as described in this provision will constitute full and complete compensation for all overhead, profit, incidentals, and any and all other direct or indirect expenses associated with furnishing all materials for the Work.
c. Equipment. No payment will be made for use of tools and equipment which have a replacement value of $400.00 or less. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in calculating equipment rental costs shall not exceed the listed rates prevailing locally at equipment rental agencies or distributors at the time the work is performed. The listed rates are considered to include the cost for all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, repairs, and maintenance of any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance, as well as loading and transportation costs for equipment used on the extra work. All equipment shall be acceptable to the Inspector of Record, in good working condition, and suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used. Manufacturer’s ratings and modifications shall be used to classify equipment, and equipment shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer.
Equipment costs as defined in this provision plus the fixed markup will constitute full and complete compensation for all overhead, profit, incidentals, and any and all other direct or indirect expenses associated with furnishing all equipment for the Work.
d. Markup. Markup for Contractor and Subcontractors shall be calculated as set forth below. Markup includes any and all other cost impacts including, but not limited to profit, overhead, bond premiums and/or fees, insurance premiums and/or fees (other than workers compensation insurance), superintendent labor, field overhead, clerical expenses, home office expenses and overhead, Work site office expenses, utility costs, documentation, travel, time associated costs, meeting and licensing costs. Markup plus labor, material, and equipment will constitute full compensation, and no additional compensation for such cost impacts will be allowed unless approved in writing in advance of performance of the Work.
i. Subcontractor Work: For both extra and deleted work
performed by a Subcontractor, the Subcontractor shall
receive or deduct a 10% markup on all Labor, Materials and Equipment. Contractor shall receive or deduct a 5% markup on the Subcontractors total cost (cost + markup).
ii. Contractor Self Performed Work: For extra work and deleted work self-performed by the Contractor, Contractor shall receive or deduct a 15% markup on all Labor, Materials and Equipment.

Packet Pg. 282 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-25 Project No. C1737-22
4) Force Account Pricing. If Force Account is approved the Change Order total shall be the sum of and limited to the actual direct and indirect costs for labor, materials, equipment, and markup. The calculation method and terms for Fixed Lump Sum Pricing shall apply to this section with the exception of the following:
a. Labor. Shall include the actual number of hours worked per worker per the Inspector of Record signed Time and Materials Tracking Forms.
b. Materials and Equipment. Shall include the actual materials and equipment used, exhausted, consumed or entering permanently into the Work as documented with original receipts and submitted with the Time and Materials Tracking Form.
Deductive Change Order Pricing - Deleted work shall be subject to the calculation methods as set forth in this Section and shall include the cost for all indirect and direct costs for materials, labor, equipment and overhead. In determining the deductive change, Contractors and/or Subcontractors bid pricing or pricing provided in prior change order requests submitted by the Contractor may be used to determine pricing. Contractor shall markup the credit for the deleted work using the same markup percentages and methods as detailed in this Section.
Calculation of Mark Up.
(1) Added Work Performed by Subcontractor
a. Subcontractor’s markup = [(Wages + Fringe) x 1.30 + (Materials +Equipment)] x 10% b. Contractor’s markup = Subcontractor’s Cost in (1) a. x 5% (2) Added Work Self-Performed by Contractor
a. Contractor’s markup = [(Wages + Fringe) x 1.30 + (Materials +Equipment)] x 15% (3) Deleted Work Performed by Subcontractor
a. Subcontractor’s markup = [(Wages + Fringe) x 1.30 + (Materials +Equipment)] x -10% b. Contractor’s markup = Subcontractor’s Cost in (3) a. x -5% (4) Deleted Work Self-Performed by Contractor
a. Contractor’s markup = [(Wages + Fringe) x 1.30 + (Materials +Equipment)] x -15% Force Account Tracking Procedures - Prior to performing Force Account work the Contractor must receive written approval from the City to perform such work. Only work identified in the written authorization from the City shall be subject to additional compensation.
Contractor shall use a City approved Time and Material tracking form to track all expenses. The Time and Material tracking form must be signed by the Inspector of Record daily. The Time and Material tracking form must include both the start time and end time for the work performed.
Failure to obtain the Inspector of Record’s signature shall result in forfeiture of any potential claim. Original receipts and/or invoices shall be provided detailing the costs for all materials.
Receipts and invoices must include a detailed breakdown of the costs for material. Failure to provide original receipts and/or invoices shall result in forfeiture of any potential claim. The Inspector of Record shall be required to verify that the materials being installed match the materials listed on the receipts and/or invoices prior to installation. Tracking work using the Time
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 283 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-26 Project No. C1737-22
and Materials tracking form does not automatically entitle Contractor to payment. Time and Materials may be tracked when the City and the Contractor dispute whether or not specific work should be considered extra work. If the Contractor is successful in proving that the work is in fact extra work, then the Time and Materials tracking forms and receipts will be used to calculate payment. Upon the last day of work on a specific Force Account assignment the Contractor shall indicate on the Time and Materials tracking form that the work has been completed. Contractor shall submit to the City with 45 calendar days of the completion of a specific Force Account assignment a change order request identifying all costs associated with the assignment. Failure to do so shall result in forfeiture of any and all claimable costs associated with the assignment.
Contractor shall schedule Force Account work to occur in the most expeditious and inexpensive way.
5.09 Disputed Work - When the Engineer and Contractor fail to agree as to whether an alteration ordered by the Engineer constitutes a material change or difference in the character of the work, or fail to agree upon the compensation to be allowed for such altered work, the Contractor shall proceed with the altered work and file with the Engineer, within ten (10) working days after receiving direction from the Engineer, a written protest detailing the particulars of the dispute and the amount of additional compensation or time required for the alteration. Failure of the Engineer to recognize a change in the character of work when ordering alterations shall in no way be construed as relieving the Contractor of the Contractor’s duty and responsibility for filing a protest as prescribed above. The City will not consider additional compensation for altered work unless the Contractor files a written protest within ten (10) working days after receiving direction from the Engineer.
If the Contractor has complied with the notification requirements of this sub-section, consideration of payment due shall be made as later determined through claim resolution procedures as set forth in General Provisions, Section 10, “Measurement and Payment”.
Although not to be considered as approval for proceeding under extra work provisions, the Contractor shall keep and furnish records of disputed work in accordance with General Provisions, Section 5.07, “Extra Work”.

SECTION 6 - CONTROL OF MATERIALS
6.01 Materials and Workmanship - All materials, parts and equipment furnished by the Contractor in the work shall be new, high grade, and free from defects. Workmanship shall be in accordance with generally accepted standards. Materials and workmanship shall be subject to the Engineer’s approval.
Materials and workmanship not conforming to the requirements of these specifications shall be considered defective and will be subject to rejection. Defective work or material, whether in place or not, shall be removed immediately from the site at the Contractor’s, expense, when so directed by the Engineer.
If the Contractor fails to replace any defective or damaged work or material after notice from the Engineer, the Engineer may cause such work or materials to be replaced. The replacement expense shall be deducted from the amount to be paid to the Contractor.
Used or secondhand materials, parts and equipment are permissible only if permitted by the Special Provisions.
Specialized material or equipment to be used in the work that is not readily available from material suppliers (such as electroliers, luminaries, signal poles, heads, cable, controllers, pumps, etc.) shall be ordered within five (5) days after award of the contract. Time extensions will not be granted for project delays due to the unavailability of such specialized material and equipment unless the Contractor furnishes the Engineer with documentation of purchase order dates, acceptable reason for delay of delivery, or proof of diligent efforts to obtain said items from alternate sources.
The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with periodic reports to inform the Engineer of any changes in the projected material or equipment delivery dates.
6.02 Protection of Work and Materials - The Contractor shall provide and maintain storage facilities and employ such measures as will preserve the specified quality and fitness of materials to be used in the work. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. The Contractor shall also adequately protect new and existing work and equipment for the duration of thecontract.
The Contractor shall not, without the City’s consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be necessary for the completion of the contract.
6.03 Trade Names or Equals – In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 3400, whenever any particular material, process, or equipment is indicated by patent, proprietary or brand name, or by the name of a manufacturer or supplier, such wording is used for the purpose of facilitating its description and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “or equal”.
Because products specified may have a uniqueness that can’t be matched, the Contractor must “bid” the work based upon the products specified. If, during the submittal process, an equivalent product is proposed by the contractor, the contractor shall provide data to show that the product is considered equal. Contractor shall also identify any price differences, which shall be considered as part of the substitution and if accepted, shall result in an appropriate credit or cost to the City by change order should the substitution be made.
Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, the proposed substitution must be submitted in sufficient time, before the normal use or installation of the material, process or equipment, for the Engineer to determine the equivalency and for the Contractor to make any required purchases (including delivery).
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 285 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-28 Project No. C1737-22
The Engineer shall be responsible for solely determining whether the material proposed for substitution is equivalent to that specified, and the Engineer’s findings shall be final. If a substitute offered by the Contractor is found to be not equal to the specified material, the Contractor shall furnish and install the specified material.
The specified contract completion time shall not be affected by any circumstances developing from the provisions of this Section.
6.04 Inspection of Materials by City - Unless otherwise specified, inspection may be required at the source for such typical materials and fabricated items as bituminous paving mixtures, structural concrete, metal fabrication, metal casting, welding, concrete pipe manufacture, protective coating application, and similar shop or plant operations.
Standard items of equipment such as electric motors, conveyers, elevators, plumbing fixtures, etc., are subject to inspection at the job site. Special items of equipment such as designed electrical panel boards, large pumps, sewage plant equipment, etc., are subject to inspection at the source, normally only for performance testing. The Special Provisions may specify additional inspection requirements.
6.05 Inspection of Materials by Others - When the City does not elect to make its own inspection at the source, the City may, at its expense, engage an inspector or accredited testing laboratory to inspect the materials, equipment or process. The inspector or representative of the testing laboratory shall judge the materials by the requirements of the plans and specifications. No materials or equipment shall be shipped nor any processing, fabrication or treatment of such materials shall be done without a favorable inspection by the engaged agent.

SECTION 7 – UTILITIES
7.01 City’s Statutory Obligation - Pursuant to Government Code, Section 4215: “in any contract to which a public agency as defined in Section 4401 is a party, the public agency shall assume the responsibility, between the parties to the contract, for the timely removal, relocation, or protection of existing main or trunk line utility facilities located on the site of any construction project that is the subject of the contract, if such utilities are not identified by the public agency in the plans and specifications made a part of the invitation for bids. The contract documents shall include provisions to compensate the Contractor for the costs of location, repairing damage not due to the failure of the Contractor to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating such utility facilities not indicated in the plans and specifications with reasonable accuracy and for equipment on the project necessarily idled during such work. The Contract documents shall include provisions that the Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project, when such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or the owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of such utility facilities.”
7.02 Contractor’s Obligation to Identify and Protect Subsurface Infrastructure - The Contractor shall locate and protect service laterals, conduits, and appurtenances of any underground facility, the presence of which could be reasonably inferred from the Contract Documents or from the presence of visible facilities such as buildings, meters, and junction boxes, prior to doing any work that may damage any such facilities, or interfere with their service. Where underground main distribution conduits, such as water, gas, sewer, electric power, telephone, or cable television are shown on the plans, the Contractor shall assume that every parcel will be served by a service connection for each type of utility. The Contractor shall comply with all requirements for the protection of underground infrastructure as set forth in Government Code, Sections 4215 through 4216.9.
It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to complete all work in a manner that satisfies utility company standards, providing if requested, detailed plans prepared by a California Registered Civil Engineer showing necessary temporary support of utilities during coordinated construction work. The Contractor is directed to contact these agencies before submitting bids and to be familiar with their requirements and shall include all costs of this coordination within the proposals bid prices.
The Contractor agrees to assume liability and to hold the City of San Carlos, its officers, and employees harmless from any damages resulting from the existence of underground utilities and structures not reported to the Engineer, not indicated on the public records examined, or located at variance with that reported or shown on records examined.
7.03 Location - The City will search known records and indicate on the plans those utilities, except service connections, which may affect the work. All available information regarding removal, relocation, or disconnection of utilities, or installation of new utilities, will be furnished to prospective bidders before the receipt of bids. The Contractor shall immediately report to the Engineer those utilities omitted from the plans or found substantially at variance with the location shown.
Existing and proposed utilities and improvements are shown in their approximate locations.
Locations may not have been field verified and no guarantee is made as to the accuracy and completeness of the information shown. The fact that any facility is not shown on the plans shall not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility under this Section. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to determine the existence and location of utilities shown on the plans, indicated by field locating services, or evidenced by facilities visible in the field. No additional compensation will be allowed for delays incurred as a result of the Contractor’s failure to field verify and/or pothole existing utilities prior to beginning construction. Potholing shall be considered as part of the various contract bid items and no additional compensation will be allowed.
At least three (3) working days prior to commencing work, the Contractor shall request that utility and agencies mark or otherwise indicate the location of their substructures. Contractor shall contact Underground Service Alert (USA) at (800) 642-2444 and the Engineer at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to excavation. The location of utilities as shown on the plans are approximate and are not to be

construed as certainty. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to determine the true location and depth of all utilities and service connections affecting or conflicting with the work, prior to the performance of the work. As necessary, the Contractor shall pothole these utilities prior to working in the area to avoid damage to them. Potholing shall be considered as part of the contract bid items, and no separate payment will be made. Contractor shall be familiar with the type, material, age and condition of any utility which may be affected by the work.
7.04 Protection - As necessary or as directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall field adjust proposed improvements to avoid conflicts with existing improvements. The Contractor shall not interrupt the service function or disturb the supporting base of any utility, without authority from the utility Owner or order from the City.
Where protection is required to ensure support of existing underground, overhead and at-grade utilities (including their associated structures and service connections) as shown on the plans, at the Contractor’s expense such protective measures shall be furnished and placed.. In case of damage, the Contractor, without additional compensation, shall restore utilities to as good of a condition as they were found.
Upon learning of the existence and location of any utility omitted from or shown incorrectly on the plans, the Contractor shall notify the City and be fully responsible for protecting such utility. When authorized by the Engineer, additional protection may be paid by change order, for utilities other than a service connection.
The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer and the utility owner when Contractor disturbs, disconnects or damages any utility. If the utility is located substantially as indicated on the plans, the Contractor shall bear the costs of repair or replacement.
When placing concrete around or contiguous to any utility, at the Contractor’s expense, a cushion of expansion joint material, clear opening, sleeve, or other suitable material approved by the Engineer so as to prevent embedment or bonding of the utility with the concrete shall be furnished and installed.
7.05 Shut Down Notification – The City is in-charge of the sewer and storm water collection systems, traffic signals and street lighting system and as such the Contractor shall coordinate shut downs of these utilities and facilities with the City’s Engineer and Public Works Maintenance Department. The Contractor shall also coordinate the shutdown of all other utilities, including, but not limited to water, electricity, gas, communications, or CATV with the corresponding utility owner.
Shut downs of any utility or other facility, when allowed, shall be done only after:
A. The Contractor has coordinated with and notify the Engineer/Utility Owners in writing, at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the shut down, and, B. Has properly notified customers (residents, businesses/agencies) emergency response staff, and, C. Has all materials required for the work at the job site prior to requesting a shut off.
Except for scheduled shutdowns and in cases of emergency, the Contractor shall notify all customers and effected parties of a shutdown at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance by writing and four (4) hours in advance by person to allow adequate draw time. Once shut down, the Contractor shall proceed with the work in an expedient manner until the water lines or sewer lines are back in service.
7.06 Removal - Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall remove all portions of interfering utilities shown on the plans as ‘abandoned’ or “to be abandoned in place”. Before starting removal operations, the Contractor shall ascertain from the utility Owner whether abandonment is complete. The costs involved in the removal and disposal of utilities to be abandoned shall be considered as part of the contract bid items, and no separate payment will be made.
7.07 Relocation - When feasible, the utilities within the area affected by the work will complete their necessary installations, relocations, repairs, or replacements before commencement of work by the Contractor.

constructed by others, the City will conduct all negotiations with the utilities and the work will be done at no cost to the Contractor.
Utilities interfering with the permanent project work, discovered after the award of the contract, shall either be relocated, altered, or reconstructed by the utility, or the Engineer may order changes in the work to avoid interference. Such changes will be paid for in accordance with General Provisions, Section 5, “Changes in Work”.
When the plans or specifications provide for the Contractor to alter, relocate, or reconstruct a utility, all costs for such work shall be absorbed in the contract bid items. Temporary or permanent relocation or alteration of utilities by the Contractor for convenience shall be theresponsibility of Contractor. Contractor shall make all arrangements, obtain all approvals, and bear all costs. The Contractor may, for convenience or to expedite the work, agree with the owner of any utility to disconnect and reconnect interfering service connections. The City shall not be involved in any such agreement.
7.08 Delays - The Contractor is responsible for notifying utility companies in time to prevent delays attributable to utility relocations or alterations as called for in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be entitled to damages or additional payment if such delay does occur. The Engineer will determine the extent of the delay based on the Baseline Construction Schedule (Section 8.05) and on the project as a whole, and any commensurate extension of time.
7.09 Cooperation - When necessary, the Contractor shall conduct toperations so as to permit access to the worksite and provide time for utility work to be accomplished during the progress of the contract work.

8.12 Prosecution of Work - To minimize public inconvenience and possible hazards and to restore the streets and other work areas to their original condition and former state of usefulness as soon as practicable, the Contractor shall diligently prosecute the work to completion. If, in the Engineer’s opinion the Contractor fails to prosecute the work to the extent that the above purposes are not being accomplished, the Contractor shall, upon orders from the Engineer, immediately take the steps necessary to fully accomplish said purposes. All costs for prosecuting the work as described herein shall be absorbed in the Contractor’s bid. Should the Contractor fail to take the necessary steps to fully accomplish said purposes, after orders of the Engineer to do so, the Engineer may suspend the work in whole or in part, until the Contractor takes said steps. With or without such suspension, the Engineer may cause such steps to be taken by force account or by other means at the Contractors expense.
8.13 Suspension of Work - Work may be stopped or suspended in whole or in part for up to ninety (90) days when, in the Engineer’s opinion, the suspension is necessary and in the interest of the City. The Contractor shall immediately comply with any written order of the Engineer suspending work.
Such City directed suspension shall be without liability to the Contractor on the part of the City.
Suspended work shall be resumed upon written order of the Engineer. An extension of contract time equal to the period of suspension shall be issued to the Contractor by change order. Any claim by the Contractor for an adjustment of the contract sum or the contract time shall be made within ten (10) working days after the end of the work suspension.
If work is suspended through any fault of the Contractor, all expenses and losses incurred by the Contractor during such suspensions shall be borne by the Contractor. If the Contractor fails to properly provide for public safety, traffic, and protection of the work during periods of suspension, the City may elect to do so, and shall deduct the cost thereof from monies due the Contractor. Such action will not relieve the Contractor from any liability.
8.14 Default by the Contractor and Termination of Control - As a result of any of the following events, the Contractor shall be deemed to be in default:
(a) If the Contractor is in bankruptcy or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
(b) If the Contractor fails to make prompt payment to subcontractors for labor or materials, or (c) If a receiver is appointed on account of the Contractor’s insolvency, or (d) If the Contractor fails to provide enough properly skilled workmen or enough materials to insure compliance with the construction time schedule, or (e) If the Contractor fails to perform any portion of the work within the timing requirements of the Contract Documents, or abandons the project site, or (f) If the Contractor disregards instructions from the Engineer or violates any provision of the contract, or
(g) If the Contractor fails to replace or repair any damage caused by the Contractor or its agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, or employees in connection with the performance of the work, or
(h) If the Contractor violates any legal requirement related to the work.
In case of default, the City may give written notice to the Contractor and the Contractor’s bonding agent that if the default is not remedied within ten (10) calendar days or the Contractor does not provide adequate written assurance to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the cure will be forthcoming, the Contractor’s control over the work may be terminated as of the date specified in the written notice.
Upon such termination of control the City may enter upon and take possession of the entire work and may also take possession, for the purpose of completing the work, of all of the Contractor’s tools, equipment and appliances upon the work, and all materials on the site or stored off-site for incorporation into the work. The City may, at its sole option and without further notice to anyone, complete the work by
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 293 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-36 Project No. C1737-22
day labor, by contract entered into by negotiations, by competitive bidding, by calling upon the performance of the performance bond surety, or by other means as the City, in its discretion, shall elect.
After termination of the Contractor’s control over the work as herein provided, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payments under the contract until the entire work thereunder has been fully completed and finally accepted by the City. After such completion and acceptance, if the “unpaid balance of the contract price” (as defined in the next paragraph) exceeds the sum of the amounts expended by the City in taking over and completing the work, including all managerial and administrative expense incurred by the City on account thereof and the amount of all damages incurred by the City by reason of the Contractor’s default, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If the said amount expended exceeds the unpaid balance, the Contractor and the surety shall be liable to the City for the difference. At the Contractor’s request, the expense incurred by the City in taking over and completing the work, and the amount of any damage incurred by the City by reason of the Contractor’s default shall be audited and certified by an independent third party, whose certificate thereof shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties.
For the purposes of the computations required by the paragraph above, the “unpaid balance of the contract price” shall be the original contract price as adjusted by any change orders issued prior to termination of the Contractor’s control, less all payments made on account thereof prior to such termination, and less any and all amounts withheld or paid pursuant to stop notices filed with the City upon claims of subcontractors or others from equipment, labor or materials furnished to the work on behalf of the Contractor.
Upon completion and acceptance of the work, the Contractor shall be entitled to the return of all materials not used in the work, but without claim against the City for loss or damage with respect thereto, and shall be entitled to the return of all the equipment, tools and appliances taken possession of by the City, but without claim against the City for any charge for the use thereof or for usual and ordinary depreciation and wear and tear.
The exercise of remedies provided for in this sub-section, for default by the Contractor, shall be in addition to, and shall not be deemed a waiver by the City of any other rights or remedies due the City under the contract provisions, for default by the Contractor.
8.15 Contractor’s Right to Stop Work or Terminate Contract – The Contractor may give written notice to the Engineer of intention to stop work or terminate the Agreement, or both if the work should be stopped by order of any court or other public authority, through no act, omission or fault of the Contractor or any Subcontractor, agent or employee of the Contractor, and such work stoppage under such order shall continue for thirty (30) consecutive days from the effective date of such order If, after the Contractor provides notice to the City of any of the above defaults, the City does not remedy the default within ten (10) calendar days, the Contractor may stop work and may give the City written notice of contract termination. The Contractor may then recover from the City payment for all work executed to date and any loss sustained upon any equipment or materials procured for the work prior to the work stoppage. No compensation for loss of anticipated profits will be provided, however, on work not completed. The Contractor’s right to recovery shall be subject, however, to the duty of the Contractor to mitigate all loss or damage so far as reasonably possible.
8.16 City’s Right to Terminate Contract – The City may, at its option, terminate the Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, at any time by giving notice to the Contractor. Upon such termination, the Contractor agrees to waive any claims for damages, including loss of anticipated profits, on account thereof; and, as the sole right and remedy of the Contractor, the City shall pay the Contractor in accordance with this sub-section. Upon termination, the obligations of the Contractor for portions of the work already performed shall continue.
(a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Termination, the Contractor shall, unless the notice directs otherwise, do the following:
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 294 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-37 Project No. C1737-22
1. Immediately discontinue the work to the extent specified in the notice.
2. Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, equipment, services, or facilities, except as may be necessary to complete such portion of the work that are not to be discontinued.
3. Promptly cancel, on the most favorable terms reasonably possible, all subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the performance of the discontinued portion of the work.
4. Thereafter do only such work as may be necessary to preserve and protect the work already in progress and to protect materials, plants, and equipment on the project site or in transit thereto.
(b) Upon such termination, the City shall pay to the Contractor as a sole and exclusive remedy for the termination, the sum of the following, and the Contractor will be entitled to no other compensation or damages, and expressly waives same:
1. The amount of the contract amount allocated to the portion of the work properly performed by the Contractor as of the date of termination, less sums previously paid to the Contractor, plus
2. Previously unpaid costs of any items delivered to the project site which were fabricated for subsequent incorporation in the work, plus
3. Any proven losses with respect to materials and equipment directly resulting from such termination, plus
4. Reasonable demobilization costs in excess of what would have been incurred if work were not terminated, plus
5. Reasonable costs for preparing a statement of the aforesaid costs, expenses, and losses in connection with such termination.
The City may terminate the Agreement at its own discretion or when conditions encountered during the work make it impossible or impracticable to proceed, or when the City is prevented from proceeding with the Agreement by act of God, by law, or by official action of a public authority.
8.17 Time of Completion and Days Charged - The Contractor shall diligently prosecute and fully complete the work within the number of calendar or working days set forth in the Notice inviting Sealed Proposals or shall be subject to liquidated damages. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under the Contract Documents, and all timing requirements shall be strictly adhered to unless otherwise modified by the City. See General Provisions, Sections 8.12, “Prosecution of Work”, and 8.18, “Liquidated Damages”.
Under a calendar day contract, City observed holidays and inclement weather delays are to be anticipated and unless there is a deviation from what is customary for the time of year the project is under construction, no additional days will be granted. Every day, including holidays, Saturdays and Sundays shall be counted as a day charged under a calendar day contract.
Under a working day contract, the Contractor will be given credit for City observed holidays and inclement weather delays, in accordance with the State Standard Specifications. Should the Contractor prepare to begin work at the regular starting time in the morning of any day on which inclement weather, or the conditions resulting from the weather prevents the work from beginning at the usual starting time and the crew is dismissed as a result thereof and the Contractor does not proceed with at least seventyfive percent (75%) of the normal labor and equipment force engaged in the current controlling operations for at least sixty percent (60%)of the total daily time being currently spent on the controlling operations, the Contractor will not be charged for a working day whether or not conditions should change thereafter.
8.18 Liquidated Damages - The City and the Contractor, by execution of the agreement, each agree that time is of the essence in the performance of the work, and that actual damages for
7.j.2
Packet Pg. 295 Attachment: Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs (Fire Station 16 Plans and Specs) General Provisions 2022 Sewer Lateral Replacement Project Page GP-38 Project No. C1737-22
inconvenience and loss from any delay in completion of the contract beyond the date provided in the Notice to Bidders is extremely difficult or impossible to determine.
The City and the Contractor further agree, as specified in the Notice to Bidders, that liquidated damages shall be assessed for each and every calendar day required to complete the contract in excess of the contract time established for the project, and that the amount stated therein is a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages. The Engineer may deduct any liquidated damaged owed to the City, as determined by the Engineer from any payments otherwise payable to the Contractor under this agreement.
In addition, the City shall have the right to charge to the Contractor and to deduct from the final payment for the work the actual cost to the City of engineering, inspection, administration and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the contract and which accrue during the period of such delay, except that the cost of final surveys and preparation of the final estimate shall not be included in such charges.
Separate from the above-mentioned liquidated damages, the Contractor shall be responsible for paying all damages incurred by private businesses (residential, commercial or industrial), schools and hospitals due to non-completion of the project by the date specified.
Nothing contained herein shall limit the City’s rights or remedies against Contractor for any default other than failure to complete the work within the contract time. This provision for liquidated damages shall not be applicable nor act as a limitation upon the City if the Contractor abandons the work.
In such event, the Contractor shall be liable to the City for all losses incurred.
The date of the Engineer’s Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be the termination date, if applicable, of liquidated damages.
8.19 Delays and Extensions of Time
(a) Excusable Delays - shall mean delays in the prosecution or completion of the work which result from causes beyond the control of the Contractor and City and which could not have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor, suppliers, or any tier of the Contractor’s subcontractors. Excusable Delays fall into the following categories:
1. Abnormal Delays – Excusable Delays caused by acts of god, fire, unusual storms, floods, tidal waves, earthquakes, strikes, labor disputes, freight embargoes, and shortages of materials insofar as they prevent the Contractor from proceeding with at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the normal labor and equipment force for at least five (5) hours per day toward completion of the current critical path activity.
2. Weather Delays – Excusable Delays due to inclement weather conditions or the conditions resulting from weather prevent the Contractor from proceeding with seventy-five percent (75%) of the normal labor and equipment force engaged in the current critical activity item for a period of at least five (5) hours per day toward completion of the current critical path activity.
3. Material Shortage Delays – Excusable Delays due to shortages of material, provided that the Contractor submits satisfactory proof to the Engineer. For the proof to be satisfactory, the Contractor must demonstrate that every effort to obtain the materials from all known sources within reasonable reach of the proposed work has been made. Only the physical shortage of material, caused by unusual circumstances, will be considered under these provisions as an excusable delay, and no consideration will be given to any claim that material could not be obtained at a reasonable, practical, or economical price, unless it is shown to the satisfaction of the Engineer that such material was only available at exorbitant prices. A material shortage delay will not be considered for material

ordered or delivered late or for material whose availability is affected by virtue of mishandled procurement. The above provisions shall apply equally to equipment to be installed in the work.
(b) Compensable Delays - shall include delays that occur in the prosecution or completion of the work, through no fault of the Contractor which prevent the Contractor from proceeding with at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the normal labor and equipment force for at least five (5) hours per day toward completion of the current critical activity item(s) on the latest favorably reviewed progress schedule due to the following causes:
1. Delays due solely to the actions and/or inactions of the City.
2. Delays due to changed conditions as defined in General Provisions, Section
5.05, “Requests for Information, Inconsistencies and Changed Conditions”.
3. Delays due to other Contractors employed by the City who interfere with the Contractor's prosecution of the work as defined above.
(c) Inexcusable Delay - means any delay in the completion of the work beyond the expiration of the contract time resulting from causes other than Excusable Delays or Compensable Delays. An Inexcusable Delay shall not entitle the Contractor to an extension of the contract time or an adjustment of the contract sum. In addition to liquidated damages for inexcusable delays, the Contractor agrees to pay the City’s actual costs, including charges for engineering, inspection and administration incurred during the delay. (d) Concurrent Delays - those periods of delay when the prosecution of the work is delayed during the same period of time due to causes from a combination of the delays defined as Excusable, Compensable or Inexcusable.
If the Contractor desires an extension of time, he shall file a written request based upon the delays reported. The Engineer will ascertain the facts, the extent of the delays, and the effect upon the entire project, and the City will grant an extension of time equivalent to verified time lost. The request for an extension of time must be made no later than ten (10) working days after the start of the condition that purportedly caused the delay, and no later than fifteen (15) working days after the date on which performance on the condition purportedly causing the delay has ended.
Contractor may make a delay claim for an extension of the contract time for an Excusable Delay or a Compensable Delay. If an Excusable Delay and a Compensable Delay occur concurrently, the maximum extension of the contract time shall be the number of calendar days from the commencement of the first delay to the cessation of the delay which ends last. If an Inexcusable Delay occurs concurrently with either an Excusable Delay or a Compensable Delay, the maximum extension of the contract time shall be the number of calendar days, if any, by which the Excusable Delay or the Compensable Delay exceeds the Inexcusable Delay.
For a Compensable Delay, the Contractor may make a delay claim for an adjustment in the contract sum in an amount equal to the sum of the actual and unavoidable additional costs of labor, material, and equipment furnished at the site by the Contractor or subcontractors, including wages, salaries, fringe benefits and payroll taxes.
Extensions of time, when granted, will be based upon the effect of delays to the project as a whole and will not be granted for non-controlling delays to minor portions of the work unless it can be shown that such delays did, in fact, delay the progress of the project as a whole. For purposes of determining delays, all float associated with the project schedule shall belong to the project. See General Provisions, Section 8.05, “Baseline Construction Schedule”.
If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of either the Contractor or the City, such delays will entitle the Contractor to an extension of time as provided herein, but the Contractor shall not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to these delays. War, governmental regulations, labor disputes, strikes, fires, floods, adverse weather necessitating cessation of work, other similar action of the elements, inability to obtain materials, equipment, or labor because of Federal Government

restrictions arising out of National Defense, required extra work, action or inaction by the City, or other specific reasons as may be further described in the specifications may constitute such a delay. If delays beyond the Contractor’s control are caused by reasons other than those mentioned above, but are substantially equal in gravity to those enumerated, an extension of time may be granted, if deemed by the Engineer to be in the best interests of the City.
The Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time if delayed due to a failure of the City to furnish necessary right-of-way or materials which the City agreed to furnish, or by the City’s failure to supply necessary plans or instructions concerning the work, after written request by the Contractor.
For Compensable Delay periods resulting in indirect overhead expenses, the Contractor shall be reimbursed as provided for in General Provisions, Section 5, “Changes in Work”.
8.20 Substantial Completion – When work in accordance with the Contract Documents has progressed to a stage of one-hundred percent (100%) complete, as determined by the Engineer, except for the completion of minor punch list items of deficiencies or omissions in the work which require correction in order to satisfy the agreement, yet do not impair the City’s ability to occupy and fully utilize the work for its intended purpose, the project shall be deemed “Substantially Complete”. Portions of the work may also be designated by the City as substantially complete if the Contract Documents require separate delivery.
When the Engineer determines that the work or such designated portions of the work are substantially complete, the Engineer will prepare and sign a Certificate of Substantial Completion. The date of substantial completion shall establish the date at which days charged against the project duration shall terminate. The date of substantial completion shall also establish the date of occupancy by the City and the transfer of responsibility from the Contractor to the City for such items as security, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and damage to the work from causes other than that of the Contractor. Unless otherwise indicated in the Certificate of Substantial Completion, the Contractor’s guarantee for the work shall commence upon the date of substantial completion. See General Provisions, Section 11.01, “Contractor’s Guarantee”.
8.21 Project Closeout - After the Contractor has received the Certificate of Substantial Completion and has only minor work remaining, project closeout may begin. The following items and procedures are required as part of the project close out process. (a) Following the completion of punch list items, the Contractor shall make a written request to the city to conduct a final inspection. The written request shall be accompanied by a Certification that the work has been performed in accordance with the Contract Documents.
(b) Within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the Contractor's Certificate of Completion, a final inspection will be scheduled and conducted by the City. As a result of the inspection, the City will advise the Contractor of any work that must be completed or corrected before Acceptance, in the form of a punch list.
(c) The City will conduct a re-inspection of the punch list items within when requested by the Contractor, in writing, with assurances that the punch list requirements have been met.
Any charges by a Consulting Engineer/Architect hired by the City to do repeat reinspection of the punch list may be recovered from the Contractor. (d) The contractor shall provide a final payment request with lien releases (if applicable) in a format acceptable to the City.
(e) The as-built drawings and all record documents and shall be provided to the City by the Contractor including but not limited to, equipment operation and maintenance manuals, copies of warranties, shop drawings, product data, etc. Record documents shall be properly identified and organized into binders.

8.22 Final Completion - After the Contractor has received the Certificate of Substantial Completion along with the punch list, and has completed the items identified as necessary for project closeout, the Engineer will make a determination as to if the work is fully completed and in accordance with the Contract Documents. If so, the Engineer will recommend final acceptance to the City Council.
Should it become necessary, due to developed conditions, for the City to occupy any portion of the work, or any part of any structure or equipment, before the contract is completed or accepted, such occupancy shall not constitute an acceptance of any part of the work, unless so stated in writing by the City.
8.23 Final Acceptance – Final acceptance by the Engineer will be considered after the work has been fully completed. A Notice of Completion will be filed with the County Recorder once Final Acceptance has been made.
8.24 Risk of Loss - The Contractor shall be responsible for the charge, care and protection of the project and shall bear all risks of injury or damage to the work, materials or equipment delivered to the site, by any means including fire, earthquake, wind, storm or other action of the elements, vandalism, or loss by theft, from the date of Notice to Proceed to the date of the filing of the Notice of Completion by the Engineer. The Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore and make good all injuries or damage to any portion of the work, and shall bear the entire expense thereof, except such injuries or damages that are caused by riot, insurrection, acts of the Federal or State Government, or a public enemy in time of war.
8.25 Use of Improvements During Construction - The City reserves the right to take over and utilize all or part of any completed facility or appurtenance. Such action by the City will not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for injury or damage to said completed portions of the improvement resulting from use by public traffic, from the action of the elements or from any other cause attributable to the Contractor’s operations or negligence. The Contractor will be required to restore such portions of the improvement before final acceptance. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving the Contractor from full responsibility for correcting defective work or materials.

calendar day, or portion thereof, for which the worker was paid less than the specified prevailing per diem wage rate, an amount equal to the difference between the specified prevailing per diem wage rate and the amount which was paid to the worker.
The City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor for any wage rate in excess of prevailing wage rates set forth in the Agreement, including payment in excess of the prevailing wage for extra work paid by force account. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining the Contractor’s bid and will not, under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City under the Agreement.
(e) Payroll Records - Pursuant to Labor Code, Sections 1776, Contractor and all Subcontractors shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, job classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed in connection with the work.

The Contractor shall abate dust nuisance by cleaning, sweeping, and sprinkling with water, those excavated areas of dirt or other materials which are prone to causing dust, within both the project site and the storage or staging area. If required or directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall provide an approved water truck of large capacity with spraying capability and/or street sweeper.
The Contractor shall be required to apply water for dust control immediately during construction efforts and within one (1) hour after notification by the Engineer that an airborne nuisance exists. If dust control is not adequate, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Engineer will have this work performed by others and will deduct such cost from the total contract price.
All hauling trucks or other construction vehicles leaving the site shall be cleaned of mud or dirt clinging to exterior body surfaces or wheel rims before traveling on City streets outside the work limits. All trucks coming to or leaving the site with materials or loose debris shall be loaded in a manner, which will prevent the dropping of materials or debris on City streets. Spillage resulting from hauling operations along or across any public traveled way shall be removed immediately.
When construction operations cause dirt to be deposited on public streets, the Contractor shall immediately remove such material. Streets shall be cleaned by street sweeping, rather than flushing, so as to prevent mud from entering the storm drain system.
Excess excavated material shall be removed from the site immediately. Sufficient material may remain for use as backfill if permitted by the specifications. Forms and form lumber shall be removed from the site as soon as practicable after stripping.
Failure of the Contractor to comply with the Engineer’s cleanup orders may result in an order to suspend work until the condition is corrected. No additional compensation will be allowed as a result of such suspension.
