BID CLAUSES
Bid #TRT-25-26-05REBID
McBean Regional Transit Center Lighting Control System REBID City of Santa Clarita, California

1. BID RIGGING. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) provides a toll-free hotline to report bid rigging activities. Use the hotline to report bid rigging, Bidder collusion, and other fraudulent activities.

The hotline number is (800) 424-9071. The service is available 24 hours 7 days a week and is confidential and anonymous. The hotline is part of the DOT's effort to identify and investigate highway construction contract fraud and abuse and is operated under the direction of the DOT Inspector General.

2. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS. In the event that any Bidder acting as a prime contractor has an interest in more than one bid, all such bids will be rejected, and the Bidder will be disqualified. This restriction does not apply to subcontractors or suppliers who may submit quotations to more than one Bidder and, while doing so, may also submit a formal bid as a prime contractor. A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. Labor Code Section 1771.1(a) requires contractors and their subcontractors to possess and maintain such registration with DIR in order to be awarded and to perform on public works projects (regardless of funding source). Any Bidder which has been debarred by any PUBLIC City in the last ten (10) years is deemed not to be a qualified Bidder for the purposes of this project.

The City may conduct investigations as it deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial ability of the Bidder to do the work in accordance with the Contract Documents to the City’s satisfaction within the prescribed time. To determine the degree of responsibility to be credited to the Bidder, the City will weigh any evidence including but not limited to evidence of suspension, debarment, exclusion, or determination of ineligibility by any other City. Any Bidder which is currently debarred by any public agency is deemed not to be a qualified Bidder for the purposes of this project.

If in the opinion of the City, a Bidder is determined to be insufficiently qualified, then that bid will not be considered for award of the contract.

3. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION. Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters- Lower Tier Covered Transactions. Instructions for Certification:

3.1.1.By signing and submitting this bid, the prospective lower tier participant is providing the signed certification set out below.

3.1.2.The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the City may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.

3.1.3.The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the City if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

3.1.4.The terms “covered transaction,” “debarred,” “suspended,” “ineligible,” “lower tier covered transaction,” “participant,” “persons,” “lower tier covered transaction,” “principal,” “proposal,” and “voluntarily excluded,” as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of rules implementing Executive Order 12549 [49 CFR Part 29]. You may contact the City of Santa Clarita for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.

3.1.5.The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized in writing by the City.

3.1.6.The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this bid that it will include the clause titled “Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion - Lower Tier Covered Transaction”, without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions.

3.1.7.A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the Nonprocurement List issued by U.S. General Service Administration.

3.1.8.Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

3.1.9.Except for transactions authorized under Paragraph 5 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to all remedies available to the Federal government, the City may pursue available remedies including suspension and/or debarment.

3.2. Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion - Lower Tier Covered Transaction

This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment to the Bidder, without further acknowledgment by the parties.

6. CHANGED CONDITIONS.

6.1. Differing Site Conditions

6.1.1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.

6.1.2.Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly.

SSPWC (Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction) of the contract is warranted.

6.1.3.No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice.

6.1.4.No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work. (This provision may be omitted by the Local Agency, at their option.)

6.2. Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer

6.2.1.If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.

6.2.2.Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.

6.2.3.No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed.

6.2.4.No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

6.3. Significant Changes in the Character of Work

6.3.1.The engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered.

6.3.2.If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable.

6.3.3.If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract.

6.3.4.The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:

6.3.4.1. When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or

6.3.4.2. When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity.

Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed.

7. BUY AMERICA

7.1.1.Furnish steel and iron materials to be incorporated into the work with certificates of compliance and certified mill test reports. Mill test reports must indicate where the steel and iron were melted and manufactured. Steel and iron materials must be produced in the U.S. except:

8. QUALITY ASSURANCE. The Agency uses a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) to ensure a material is produced to comply with the Contract. You may examine the records and reports of tests the Agency performs if they are available at the job site. Schedule work to allow time for QAP.

9. TAXES. No mention shall be made in the proposal of Sales Tax, Use Tax, or any other tax, as all amounts bid will be deemed and held to include any such taxes which may be applicable.

10. NONDISCRIMINATION.

McBean Regional Transit Center Lighting Control System REBID City of Santa Clarita, California

SUMMARY OF INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

1. These are the Indemnity and Insurance Requirements for Contractors providing services or supplies to City of Santa Clarita (City). By agreeing to perform the work or submitting a proposal, you verify that you comply with and agree to be bound by these requirements. If any additional Contract documents are executed, the actual Indemnity language and Insurance Requirements may include additional provisions as deemed appropriate by City’s Purchasing Agent.

The City reserves the sole right to accept or reject any requests for modifications to these terms.

2. You should check with your Insurance advisors to verify compliance and determine if additional coverage or limits may be needed to adequately insure your obligations under this agreement. These are the minimum required and do not in any way represent or imply that such coverage is sufficient to adequately cover the Contractor’s liability under this agreement. The full coverage and limits afforded under Contractor’s policies of Insurance shall be available to Buyer and these Insurance Requirements shall not in any way act to reduce coverage that is broader or includes higher limits than those required.

The Insurance obligations under this agreement shall be: 1—all the Insurance coverage and limits carried by or available to the Contractor; or 2—the minimum Insurance requirements shown in this agreement, whichever is greater. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and coverage required, which are applicable to a given loss, shall be available to City.

3. Contractor shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to City before work begins. City reserves the right to require full-certified copies of all Insurance coverage and endorsements.

I. INDEMNIFICATION:

City and its respective elected and appointed boards, officials, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers (individually and collectively, "Indemnitees") shall have no liability to CONTRACTOR or any other person for, and CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Indemnitees from and against, any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, suits, damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs, and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (collectively, "Claims"), which Indemnitees may suffer or incur or to which Indemnitees may become subject by reason of or arising out of any injury to or death of any person(s), damage to property, loss of use of property, economic loss, or otherwise occurring as a result of or allegedly caused by the CONTRACTOR’S performance of or failure to perform any services under this Agreement, or by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of CONTRACTOR, its agents, officers, directors, or employees, committed in performing any of the services under this Agreement.

If any action or proceeding is brought against Indemnitees by reason of any of the matters against which CONTRACTOR has agreed to indemnify Indemnitees as provided above, CONTRACTOR, upon notice from City, shall defend Indemnitees at its expense by counsel acceptable to City, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitees need not have first paid for any of the matters to which Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification in order to be so indemnified. The limits of the insurance required to be maintained by CONTRACTOR in this Agreement shall not limit the liability of CONTRACTOR hereunder. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this agreement.

The provisions of this section do not apply to Claims occurring as a result of the City's active negligence or acts of omission.

II. INSURANCE
CONTRACTOR shall maintain and submit certificates of all applicable insurance including, but not limited to, the following and as otherwise required by law. The terms of the insurance policy or policies issued to provide the above insurance coverage shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or canceled by the carrier, for non-payment of premiums or otherwise, without thirty (30) days prior written notice of amendment or cancellation to the CITY. In the event the said insurance is canceled, the CONTRACTOR shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit to the City Clerk new evidence of insurance in the amounts established.

Liability Insurance
During the entire term of this Agreement, the CONTRACTOR agrees to procure and maintain General Liability insurance at its sole expense to protect against loss from liability imposed by law for damages on account of bodily injury, including death therefrom, suffered or alleged to be suffered by any person or persons whomsoever, resulting directly or indirectly from any act or activities, errors or omissions, of the CITY, or CONTRACTOR or any person acting for the CITY, or under its control or direction, and also to protect against loss from liability imposed by law for damages to any property of any person caused directly or indirectly by or from acts or activities of the CITY, or CONTRACTOR or any person acting for the CITY, or under its control or direction. Such public liability and property damage insurance shall also provide for and protect the CITY against incurring any legal cost in defending claims for alleged loss. Such General, Public and Professional liability and property damage insurance shall be maintained in full force and effect throughout the term of the Agreement and any extension thereof in the amount indicated above or the following minimum limits:

Commercial General Liability Insurance, including coverage for Premises and Operations, Contractual Liability, Personal Injury Liability, Products/Completed Operations Liability, and Independent Contractors’ Liability (if applicable), in an amount of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence, four million dollars ($4,000,000.00) annual aggregate, written on an occurrence form.

Products/Completed Operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf of the CONTRACTOR for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors. If the CONTRACTOR is using subcontractors, the policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the CONTRACTOR. Policy shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the CONTRACTOR’S duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the CONTRACTOR.

Worker's Compensation Insurance
The CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain, at its sole expense, Worker's Compensation Insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence or in such amount as will fully comply with the laws of the State of California and which shall indemnify, insure and provide legal defense for both the CONTRACTOR and the CITY against any loss, claim or damage arising from any injuries or occupational diseases happening to any worker employed by the CONTRACTOR in the course of carrying out the work within the Agreement. Such insurance shall also contain a waiver of subrogation naming the City of Santa Clarita.

Automotive Insurance
The CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain, at its sole expense, throughout the term of this Agreement, and any extension thereof, public liability and property damage insurance coverage for automotive equipment with coverage limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident. All such insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name the City of Santa Clarita as an additional insured.

Waiver of Subrogation
All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against the CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Separation of Insureds
A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONTRACTOR’S insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass Through Clause
CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by CONTRACTOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all Agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to the CITY for review.

Self-Insured Retentions
Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. The CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the CITY.

Primary and Additional Insured
All of such insurance shall be primary and shall name the City of Santa Clarita as additional insured. A Certificate of Insurance and an additional insured endorsement (for general and automobile liability), evidencing the above insurance coverage with a company acceptable to the City’s Purchasing Agent shall be submitted to the CITY prior to execution of this Agreement on behalf of the CITY.

Requirements
Should CONTRACTOR, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain coverage at CONTRACTOR’S expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONTRACTOR under this Agreement or terminate. In the alternative, should CONTRACTOR fail to meet any of the insurance requirements under this Agreement, CITY may cancel the Agreement immediately with no penalty.

Should CONTRACTOR’S insurance required by this Agreement be canceled at any point prior to expiration of the policy, CONTRACTOR must notify CITY within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancelation.

Furthermore, CONTRACTOR must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements within 10 days of the prior insurer’s issuance of notice of cancelation. CONTRACTOR must ensure that there is no lapse in coverage.

If the operation under this Agreement results in an increased or decreased risk in the opinion of the City’s Purchasing Agent, then the CONTRACTOR agrees that the minimum limits herein above designated shall be changed accordingly upon request by the City’s Purchasing Agent.

The CONTRACTOR agrees that provisions of this paragraph as to maintenance of insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the CONTRACTOR may be held responsible for the payment of damages to persons or property resulting from the CONTRACTOR'S activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the CONTRACTOR is otherwise responsible.

I have read and understand the above requirements and agree to be bound by them for any work performed for the City.

The City is required to create and maintain a “Bidders List” of firms bidding or quoting on the City’s DOT-assisted contracts, for use in the City’s Overall DBE goal-setting process. The bidder must submit a “Bidders List” which will include all firms, both DBE and nonDBE, that submitted proposals, quotes or bids to the bidder on this contract, whether or not they were actually selected for work.

7.2.4.“DBE GOOD FAITH EFFORT Form” required at time of bid or no later than 48 hours after the City's bid due date
The bidder must make good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal. Bidder can meet this requirement by actually meeting the DBE goal by documenting commitments for participation from DBE firms sufficient for this purpose. Alternatively, a bidder may submit a “Good Faith Effort Form”, demonstrating that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve the DBE goal which, by their quantity, quality, and intensity, could reasonably be expected to obtain sufficient DBE participation, even if the bidder was not fully successful in obtaining the participation.

If a bidder submits a “DBE Participation Commitment Form” that does not list sufficient DBE participation to meet the established DBE contract goal, the bidder should submit the “DBE Good Faith Effort Form” and all applicable documentation at the time of bid or no later than 48 hours after the City's bid due date, to demonstrate that an adequate Good Faith Effort was made to meet the established DBE contract goal.

If a bidder has met the DBE goal based on the participation of DBEs listed on the bidder’s “DBE Participation Commitment Form”, submission of the “DBE Good Faith Effort Form” is not mandatory but is strongly encouraged, as submission of Good Faith Efforts documentation can protect the bidder’s eligibility for award of the contract if the City determines that the bidder failed to meet the goal for various reasons, e.g., a DBE firm was not certified at bid submission or the bidder made a mathematical error. DBE firm was not certified at bid submission or the bidder made a mathematical error.

7.2.5.Good Faith Effort Reconsideration
The City will notify in writing any bidder that it determines has not met the DBE contract goal and has not demonstrated an adequate Good Faith Effort. The notification will include the reasons for the determination. The bidder may request reconsideration within three business days of notification of non-responsiveness. The reconsideration process will be facilitated by the City's Reconsideration Official, who will act as an independent, impartial party and will not have been involved in the initial Good Faith Effort evaluation.

As part of the reconsideration process, the bidder will have the opportunity to provide mitigating evidence as to whether the bidder met the DBE contract goal or made an adequate GFE to do so as set forth in the solicitation.

After the reconsideration hearing, the bidder will receive the final determination within seven working days of the hearing date. The result of the reconsideration process is not administratively appealable to the Department of Transportation or the City's Board of Directors.

The provisions of this section do not apply to Claims occurring as a result of the City's active negligence or acts of omission.

ARTICLE VI
The provisions of this section are provided in compliance with Public Contract Code Section 9204; they provide the procedures for any claims related to the Work performed under this Agreement.

1. Claim Definition. “Claim" means a separate demand by CONTRACTOR sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following:
a. A time extension, including, without limitation, for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by CITY.
b. Payment by CITY of money or damages arising from the Services performed by, or on behalf of, CONTRACTOR pursuant to the Agreement and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which CONTRACTOR is not otherwise entitled.
c. Payment of an amount that is disputed by CITY.

2. Claim Process.
a. Timing. Any Claim must be submitted to CITY in compliance with the requirements of this section no later than fourteen (14) days following the event or occurrence giving rise to the Claim. This time requirement is mandatory; failure to submit a Claim within fourteen (14) days will result in its being deemed waived. b. Submission. The Claim must be submitted to CITY in writing, clearly identified as a “Claim” submitted pursuant to this Article VI and must include reasonable documentation substantiating the Claim. The Claim must clearly identify and describe the dispute, including relevant references to applicable portions of the Agreement, and a chronology of relevant events. Any Claim for additional payment must include a complete, itemized breakdown of all labor, materials, taxes, insurance, and subcontract, or other costs. Substantiating documentation such as payroll records, receipts, invoices, or the like, must be submitted in support of each claimed cost. Any Claim for an extension of time or delay costs must be substantiated with schedule analysis and narrative depicting and explaining claimed time impacts. c. Review. Upon receipt of a Claim in compliance with this Article VI, CITY shall conduct a reasonable review of the Claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days from receipt, shall provide CONTRACTOR a written statement identifying what portion of the Claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a Claim, CITY and CONTRACTOR may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this paragraph 2.
d. If CITY Approval Required. If CITY needs approval from its governing body to provide CONTRACTOR a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the Claim, and CITY’S 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, CITY shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of CITY after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide CONTRACTOR a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. e. Payment. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after CITY issues its written statement. If CITY fails to issue a written statement, paragraph 3, below, shall apply.

3. Disputed Claims
a. Meet and Confer. If CONTRACTOR disputes CITY’S written response, or if CITY fails to respond to a Claim submitted pursuant to this Article within the time prescribed, CONTRACTOR may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, CITY shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. 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, CITY shall provide CONTRACTOR a written statement identifying the portion of the Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after CITY issues its written statement.
b. Mediation. Any remaining disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by CONTRACTOR in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with CITY and CONTRACTOR sharing the associated costs equally. CITY and CONTRACTOR shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing by CONTRACTOR. 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 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 any other remedies authorized by the Agreement and laws.
i. For purposes of this paragraph 3.B, 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. ii. Unless otherwise agreed to by CITY and CONTRACTOR in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation, if any, under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

4. CITY’S Failure to Respond. Failure by CITY to respond to a Claim from CONTRACTOR within the time periods described in this Article or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Article shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of CITY’S failure to have responded to a Claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Article, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of CONTRACTOR.

5. Interest. Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at seven (7) percent per annum.

6. Approved Subcontractor Claims. If an approved subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a Claim against CITY because privity of contract does not exist, CONTRACTOR may present to CITY a Claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that 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 CITY shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the Claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, CONTRACTOR shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether CONTRACTOR presented the claim to CITY and, if CONTRACTOR did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.

7. Waiver of Provisions. A waiver of the rights granted by Public Contract Code Section 9204 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) CITY may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of Public Contract Code Section 9204, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this Article.

The CONTRACTOR agrees that provisions of this section as to maintenance of insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the CONTRACTOR may be held responsible for the payment of damages to persons or property resulting from the CONTRACTOR'S activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the CONTRACTOR is otherwise responsible.

All policies of insurance described shall be placed with insurers acceptable to CITY. The insurance underwriter(s) for all insurance policies except Workers’ Compensation shall have an A.M. rating of [A-, VIII] or better, unless otherwise specified in Contract Documents.

Liquidated Damages

1. Time is of the essence. Execution of this CIP Agreement by CONTRACTOR shall constitute acknowledgement by CONTRACTOR that CONTRACTOR understands, has ascertained and agrees that CITY will actually sustain damages in the amount fixed in the Contract Documents for each and every Day during which completion of Work required is delayed beyond expiration of time fixed for completion or extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof. CONTRACTOR and CITY agree that specified measures of liquidated damages shall be presumed to be the damages actually sustained by CITY as defined below, and that because of the nature of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages.

2. Liquidated damages shall be considered not as a penalty but as agreed monetary damage sustained by CITY for increased Project administration expenses, including extra inspection, construction management and architectural and engineering expenses related to the Project and Contract Documents because CONTRACTOR failed to perform and complete Work within time fixed for completion or extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof.

Liquidated damages shall not be deemed to include within their scope additional damages or administrative costs arising from Defective Work, lost revenues, interest expenses, cost of completion of the Work, cost of substitute facilities, claims and fines of regulatory agencies, damages suffered by others or other forms of liability claimed against CITY as a result of delay (e.g., delay or delay related claims of other contractors, subcontractors or tenants), and defense costs thereof. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for the actual amount of any such damages it causes, in addition to the liquidated damages otherwise due CITY.

3. CITY in its sole discretion may deduct from any money due or to become due to CONTRACTOR subsequent to time for completion of entire Work and extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof, a sum representing then-accrued liquidated damages.

CONTRACTOR stipulates that it shall comply with all applicable wage and hour laws, including without limitation, California Labor Code §§ 1776 and 1810-1815. Failure to so comply shall constitute a default under this Contract. Further, all public works projects valued at $30,000 or more must include an obligation to hire apprentices, unless the craft or trade does not require the use of apprentices, as indicated in the corresponding prevailing wage determination.

This duty applies to all contractors on a public works project, even if their part of the project is less than $30,000.

CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors shall pay to persons performing labor in and about the project provided for in the Contract Documents an amount equal to or more than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for (1) work of a similar character in the locality in which the Work is performed and (2) legal holiday and overtime work in said locality. The per diem wages shall be an amount equal to or more than the stipulated rates contained in a schedule that has been ascertained and determined by the Director of the State Department of Industrial Relations and Owner to be the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft or type of workman or mechanic needed to execute this Contract. The prevailing wage rates are available online at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr. CONTRACTOR shall also cause a copy of this determination of the prevailing rate of per diem wages to be posted at each Site.

CONTRACTOR shall insert in every subcontract or other arrangement which CONTRACTOR may make for performance of Work or labor on Work provided for in the Contract, provision that Subcontractor shall pay persons performing labor or rendering service under subcontract or other arrangement not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the Work is performed, and not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work fixed in the California Labor Code.

With each application for payment, CONTRACTOR shall also deliver certified payrolls directly to the Labor Commissioner in the format prescribed by the Labor Commissioner.

CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to CITY) CITY against any claim for damages, compensation, fines, penalties or other amounts arising out of the failure or alleged failure of any person or entity to pay prevailing wages as required by law or to comply with the other applicable provisions of Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and implementing regulations of the Department of Industrial Relations in connection with execution of the improvements or any other work undertaken or in connection with the Public Works project.

This contract is subject to both federal and state prevailing wage requirements. All covered work classifications required in performance of this contract will be subject to prevailing wage provisions.

If there is a difference between the federal and state wage rates, the Contract and its subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. All pertinent federal and State of California statutes and regulations, are incorporated herein as though set forth in their entirety. Additionally, the Contractor is responsible for obtaining a current edition of all applicable federal and State of California statues and regulations and adhering to the latest editions of such.

Protection of Resident Workers
The City of Santa Clarita actively supports the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which includes provisions addressing employment eligibility, employment verification, and nondiscrimination. Under the INA, employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S.

The employer must verify the identity and employment eligibility of anyone to be hired, which includes completing the Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9). The Contractor shall establish appropriate procedures and controls so no services or products under the Contract Documents will be performed or manufactured by any worker who is not legally eligible to perform such services or employment.

Federal Prevailing Wages
The work being done pursuant to this Contract is paid for in part by the United States of America.

Therefore, pursuant to the provisions applicable to such federal assistance, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the services, construction, and maintenance pursuant to this Contract is, or may become, subject to certain federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act, and particularly 29 Code of Federal Regulations Section 5.5 in part as follows:
(a) The Agency head shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert in full in any contract in excess of $2,000 which is entered into for the actual construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of a public building or public work, or building or work financed in whole or in part from federal funds or in accordance with guarantees of a federal agency or financed from funds obtained by pledge of any contract of a federal agency to make a loan, grant or annual contribution (except where a different meaning is expressly indicated), and which is subject to the labor standards provisions of any of the acts listed in Section 5.1, the following clauses (or any modifications thereof to meet the particular needs of the agency provided that such modifications are first approved by the Department of Labor):
(1) Minimum wages. (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics.

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in Section 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: provided that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed.

The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. (ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S.

Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination.

The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advice the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
(2) Withholding. The CITY shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federallyassisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the CITY may, after written notice to the contractor, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records. (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the City. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under Section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (federal stock number 029-005-00014-1), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,'' signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: (1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained under Section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 5 and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations 29 CFR Part 3; (3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance'' required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code. (iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the CITY or Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the CITY may, after written notice to the contractor, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees--(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.

Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification.

If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR

5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees, and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30. (5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract. (6) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5. (7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility. (i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). (ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of Section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). (iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.
(b) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The Agency Head shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert the following clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1), (2), (3), and (4) of this section in full in any contract in an amount in excess of $100,000 and subject to the overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These clauses shall be inserted in addition to the clauses required by Section 5.5(a) or 4.6 of Part 4 of this title. As used in this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics include watchmen and guards. (1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. (2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The CITY shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section. (4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph (b)(1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts.

SAFE OPERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
Seat Belt Use
The Contractor is encouraged to adopt and promote on-the-job seat belt use policies and programs for its employees and other personnel that operate company-owned vehicles, company rented vehicles, or personally operated vehicles. The terms “company-owned” and “company-leased” refer to vehicles owned or leased either by the Contractor or Agency.

Distracted Driving
The Contractor agrees to adopt and enforce workplace safety policies to decrease crashes caused by distracted drivers, including policies to ban text messaging while using an electronic device supplied by an employer, and driving a vehicle the driver owns or rents, a vehicle Contactor owns, leases, or rents, or a privately-owned vehicle when on official business in connection with the work performed under this Contract.

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD
Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold, which is the inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. § 1908, or otherwise set by law, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

TERMINATION
Termination for Convenience (General Provision)
The Agency may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice to the Contractor when it is in the Agency’s best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including contract close-out costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to Agency to be paid the Contractor. If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to Agency, the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner Agency directs.

Termination for Default [Breach or Cause] (General Provision) If the Contractor does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or if the contract is for services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the contract, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract, the Agency may terminate this contract for default. Termination shall be effected by serving a Notice of Termination on the Contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default. The Contractor will be paid only the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the contract. If it is later determined by the Agency that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the Agency, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a Termination for Convenience.

Opportunity to Cure (General Provision)
The Agency, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the Notice of Termination will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions. If Contractor fails to remedy to Agency's satisfaction the breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [10 days] after receipt by Contractor of written notice from Agency setting forth the nature of said breach or default, Agency shall have the right to terminate the contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude Agency from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.

Waiver of Remedies for any Breach
In the event that Agency elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this contract, such waiver by Agency shall not limit Agency’s remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other covenant, term, or condition of this contract.

Termination for Convenience (Professional or Transit Service Contracts) The Agency, by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the Agency’s interest. If this contract is terminated, the Agency shall be liable only for payment under the payment provisions of this contract for services rendered before the effective date of termination.

Termination for Default (Supplies and Service)
If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies or to perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any extension, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the Agency may terminate this contract for default. The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner or performance set forth in this contract. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Agency.

Termination for Default (Transportation Services)
If the Contractor fails to pick up the commodities or to perform the services, including delivery services, within the time specified in this contract or any extension, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the Agency may terminate this contract for default. The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in this contract. If this contract is terminated while the Contractor has possession of Agency goods, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Agency, protect and preserve the goods until surrendered to the Agency or its agent. The Contractor and Agency shall agree on payment for the preservation and protection of goods. Failure to agree on an amount will be resolved under the Dispute clause. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Agency.

Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the work or any separable part, with the diligence that will ensure its completion within the time specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of this contract, Agency may terminate this contract for default. The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. In this event, the Agency may take over the work and compete it by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and plant on the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for any damage to the Agency resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated. This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Agency in completing the work. The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor shall the Contractor be charged with damages under this clause if: 1. The delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: acts of God, acts of Agency, acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with Agency, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes; and 2. The Contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies Agency in writing of the causes of delay. If, in the judgment of Agency, the delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The judgment of Agency shall be final and conclusive for the parties, but subject to appeal under the Disputes clause(s) of this contract. 3. If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of Agency.

Termination for Convenience or Default (Architect and Engineering) The Agency may terminate this contract in whole or in part, for the Agency’s convenience or because of the failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations. The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature, extent, and effective date of the termination. Upon receipt of the notice, the Contractor shall (1) immediately discontinue all services affected (unless the notice directs otherwise), and (2) deliver to the Agency ‘s Contracting Officer all data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries, and other information and materials accumulated in performing this contract, whether completed or in process. Agency has a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish or otherwise use, all such data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries, and other information and materials. If the termination is for the convenience of the Agency, the Agency’s Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price but shall allow no anticipated profit on unperformed services. If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the Agency may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any additional cost incurred by the Agency. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of Agency.

Termination for Convenience or Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The Agency may terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by serving a Notice of Termination on the Contractor. The notice shall state whether the termination is for convenience of Agency or for the default of the Contractor. If the termination is for default, the notice shall state the manner in which the Contractor has failed to perform the requirements of the contract. The Contractor shall account for any property in its possession paid for from funds received from the Agency, or property supplied to the Contractor by the Agency. If the termination is for default, the Agency may fix the fee, if the contract provides for a fee, to be paid the Contractor in proportion to the value, if any, of work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to the Agency and the parties shall negotiate the termination settlement to be paid the Contractor. If the termination is for the convenience of Agency, the Contractor shall be paid its contract close-out costs, and a fee, if the contract provided for payment of a fee, in proportion to the work performed up to the time of termination. If, after serving a Notice of Termination for Default, the Agency determines that the Contractor has an excusable reason for not performing, the Agency, after setting up a new work schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a Termination for Convenience.

VIOLATION AND BREACH OF CONTRACT
Disputes:

Disputes arising in the performance of this Contract that are not resolved by agreement of the parties shall be decided in writing by the authorized representative of the agency. This decision shall be final and conclusive unless within [10] days from the date of receipt of its copy, the Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes a written appeal to the agencies authorized representative. In connection with any such appeal, the Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of its position.

Should either party to the contract suffer injury or damage to person or property because of any act or omission of the party or of any of his employees, agents or others for whose acts he is legally liable, a claim for damages therefore shall be made in writing to such other party within a reasonable time after the first observance of such injury or damage.

Remedies:

Unless this contract provides otherwise, all claims, counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between the agencies authorized representative and contractor arising out of or relating to this agreement or its breach will be decided by arbitration if the parties mutually agree, or in a court of competent jurisdiction within the State in which the Agency is located.

Rights and Remedies:

Duties and obligations imposed by the contract documents and the rights and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.

CONFORMANCE WITH ITS NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects shall conform to the National ITS Architecture and standards pursuant to 23 CFR § 940. Conformance with the National ITS Architecture is interpreted to mean the use of the National ITS Architecture to develop a regional ITS architecture in support of integration and the subsequent adherence of all ITS projects to that regional ITS architecture.

Development of the regional ITS architecture should be consistent with the transportation planning process for Statewide and Metropolitan Transportation Planning (49 CFR Part 613 and 621).

FEDERAL TAX LIABILITY AND RECENT FELONY CONVICTIONS
(1) The contractor certifies that it:
(a) Does not have any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting the tax liability; and (b) Was not convicted of the felony criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24 months. If the contractor cannot so certify, the Recipient will refer the matter to FTA and not enter into any Third Party Agreement with the Third Party Participant without FTA’s written approval. (2) Flow-Down. The Recipient agrees to require the contractor to flow this requirement down to participants at all lower tiers, without regard to the value of any subagreement.

SEVERABILITY
The Contractor agrees that if any provision of this agreement or any amendment thereto is determined to be invalid, then the remaining provisions thereof that conform to federal laws, regulations, requirements, and guidance will continue in effect.

TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS
The contractor agrees that it and its employees that participate in the Recipient’s Award, may not:
(a) Engage in severe forms of trafficking in persons during the period of time that the Recipient’s Award is in effect; (b) Procure a commercial sex act during the period of time that the Recipient’s Award is in effect; or
(c) Use forced labor in the performance of the Recipient’s Award or subagreements thereunder.

BOND REQUIREMENTS
For construction or facility improvement contracts or subcontracts exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity may accept the bonding policy and requirements of the non-Federal entity provided that the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity has made a determination that the Federal interest is adequately protected. If such a determination has not been made, the minimum requirements must be as follows:
(a) A bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five percent of the bid price. The “bid guarantee” must consist of a firm commitment such as a bid bond, certified check, or other negotiable instrument accompanying a bid as assurance that the bidder will, upon acceptance of the bid, execute such contractual documents as may be required within the time specified. (b) A performance bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price. A “performance bond” is one executed in connection with a contract to secure fulfillment of all the contractor's requirements under such contract.
(c) A payment bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price. A “payment bond” is one executed in connection with a contract to assure payment as required by law of all persons supplying labor and material in the execution of the work provided for in the contract. It is also understood and agreed that if the bidder should withdraw any part or all of their bid within [90] days after the bid opening without the written consent of the Agency, or refuse or be unable to enter into this Contract as provided above, or refuse or be unable to furnish adequate and acceptable Performance and Payment Bonds, or refuse or be unable to furnish adequate and acceptable insurance, as provided above, it shall forfeit its bid guaranty to the extent Agency’s damages occasioned by such withdrawal, or refusal, or inability to enter into a Contract, or provide adequate security thereof.

It is further understood and agreed that to the extent the defaulting bidder's bid guaranty shall prove inadequate to fully recompense Agency for the damages occasioned by default, then the bidder agrees to indemnify Agency and pay over to Agency the difference between the bid guarantee and Agency’s total damages so as to make Agency whole.

The bidder understands that any material alteration of any of the above or any of the material contained herein, other than that requested will render the bid unresponsive.

Performance Guarantee. A Performance Guarantee in the amount of 100% of the Contract value is required by the Agency to ensure faithful performance of the Contract. Either a Performance Bond or an Irrevocable Stand-By Letter of Credit shall be provided by the Contractor and shall remain in full force for the term of the Contract. The successful Bidder shall certify that it will provide the requisite Performance Guarantee to the Agency within ten 5 May 25 (10) business days from Contract execution. The Agency requires all Performance Bonds to be provided by a fully qualified surety company acceptable to the Agency and listed as a company currently authorized under 31 C.F.R. part 22 as possessing a Certificate of Authority as described hereunder. Agency may require additional performance bond protection when the contract price is increased. The increase in protection shall generally equal 100 percent of the increase in contract price. The Agency may secure additional protection by directing the Contractor to increase the amount of the existing bond or to obtain an additional bond.

If the Bidder chooses to provide a Letter of Credit as its Performance Guarantee, the Bidder shall furnish with its bid, certification that an Irrevocable Stand-By Letter of Credit will be furnished should the Bidder become the successful Contractor. The Bidder shall also provide a statement from the banking institution certifying that an Irrevocable Stand-By Letter of Credit for the action will be provided if the Contract is awarded to the Bidder. The Irrevocable StandBy Letter of Credit will only be accepted by the Agency if:

1. A bank in good standing issues it. The Agency will not accept a Letter of Credit from an entity other than a bank.

2. It is in writing and signed by the issuing bank.

3. It conspicuously states that it is an irrevocable, non-transferable, “standby” Letter of Credit.

4. The Agency is identified as the Beneficiary.

5. It is in an amount equal to 100% of the Contract value. This amount must be in U.S. dollars.

6. The effective date of the Letter of Credit is the same as the effective date of the Contract

7. The expiration date of the Letter of Credit coincides with the term of the contract.

8. It indicates that it is being issued in order to support the obligation of the Contractor to perform under the Contract. It must specifically reference the Contract between the Agency and the Contractor the work stipulated herein.

The issuing bank’s obligation to pay will arise upon the presentation of the original Letter of Credit and a certificate and draft to the issuing bank’s representative at a location and time to be determined by the parties. This documentation will indicate that the Contractor is in default under the Contract.

Payment Bonds. A Labor and Materials Payment Bond equal to the full value of the contract must be furnished by the contractor to Agency as security for payment by the Contractor and subcontractors for labor, materials, and rental of equipment. The bond may be issued by a fully qualified surety company acceptable to (Agency) and listed as a company currently authorized under 31 C.F.R. part 223 as possessing a Certificate of Authority as described thereunder.

SEISMIC SAFETY
The contractor agrees that any new building or addition to an existing building will be designed and constructed in accordance with the standards for Seismic Safety required in Department of Transportation (DOT) Seismic Safety Regulations 49 C.F.R. part 41 and will certify to compliance to the extent required by the regulation. The contractor also agrees to ensure that all work performed under this contract, including work performed by a subcontractor, is in compliance with the standards required by the Seismic Safety regulations and the certification of compliance issued on the project.

SOLID WASTES (RECOVERED MATERIALS)
A Recipient that is a state agency or agency of a political subdivision of a state and its contractors must comply with section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The requirements of Section 6002 include procuring only items designated in guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR Part 247 that contain the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition, where the purchase price of the item exceeds $10,000 or the value of the quantity acquired during the preceding fiscal year exceeded $10,000; procuring solid waste management services in a manner that maximizes energy and resource recovery; and establishing an affirmative procurement program for procurement of recovered materials identified in the EPA guidelines.

VETERANS HIRING PREFERENCE
Veterans Employment - Construction contracts of Federal financial assistance shall ensure that contractors working on a capital project funded using such assistance give a hiring preference, to the extent practicable, to veterans (as defined in section 2108 of title 5) who have the requisite skills and abilities to perform the construction work required under the contract. This subsection shall not be understood, construed or enforced in any manner that would require an employer to give a preference to any veteran over any equally qualified applicant who is a member of any racial or ethnic minority, female, an individual with a disability, or a former employee.

20.29 FEDERAL PREVAILING WAGE DETERMINATIONS

DBE CLAUSES
Per the Interim Final Rule published by the Department of Transportation (DOT) on October 3, 2025 (Federal Register Number 47969), DBE participation goals are not applicable to this solicitation. Any forms or references to DBE requirements contained in this document do not apply to this bid and may be disregarded for purposes of evaluation and award.

I. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) POLICY AND APPLICABILITY In accordance with federal financial assistance agreements with the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), the City of Santa Clarita (City) has adopted a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, in conformance with Title 49 CFR Part 26, “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs.” This DOT-assisted project is subject to these stipulated regulations and the City’s DBE program, which are hereby incorporated in their entirety by this reference. In order to ensure that the City achieves its overall DBE Program goals and objectives, the City encourages the participation of DBEs as defined in 49 CFR 26 in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with U.S. DOT funds.

It is Contractor’s responsibility to be fully informed regarding the requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26 and City’s DBE program. Particular attention is directed to the following:
 A DBE must be a small business firm defined pursuant to 13 CFR 121 and be certified through the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP).
 A certified DBE may participate as a prime Contractor, subcontractor, subconsultant, joint venture partner, as a vendor of material or supplies, or as a trucking company.  A DBE must perform a commercially useful function pursuant to 49 CFR 26.55 that is, a DBE firm must be responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the work and must carry out its responsibility by actually performing, managing and supervising the work.  Contractor must not claim DBE participation as attained until the amount to be claimed is paid and fully adheres to DBE crediting provisions.
 Contractor must complete and submit all required DBE documentation to effectively capture all DBE utilization on City’s DOT-assisted contracts whether achieved race neutrally or race consciously. No changes to Contractor’s DBE Commitment shall be made until proper protocols for review and approval of the City are rendered in writing.  Contractor shall take appropriate actions to ensure that it will satisfy good faith efforts to meet the DBE contract goal and continue to meet the DBE commitment(s) made at award, when change orders or other contract modifications alter the dollar amount of the contract or the distribution of work. Contractor must apply and report its DBE goal commitments against the total current contract value, including any contract change orders and/or other contract modifications.

Any terms used in this section that are defined in 49 CFR Part 26, or elsewhere in the Regulations, must have the meaning set forth in the Regulations. In the event of any conflicts or inconsistencies between the Regulations and the City’s DBE Program with respect to DOT-assisted contracts, the Regulations must prevail.

A. DBE Policy Implementation Directives
Pursuant to the provisions associated with federal regulation 49 CFR, Part 26, the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program exists to ensure participation, equitable competition, and assistance to participants in the U.S. DOT DBE program. This contact is funded in whole or in part with Federal-Aid dollars received from the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans’). Accordingly, the City has adopted the Caltrans DBE program, which utilizes both race-conscious and race-neutral means. When a contract-specific DBE goal is assigned to a project, meeting the contract-specific goal by committing to utilize DBEs or documenting a bona fide good faith effort to do so, is a condition of award.

B. Contractor’s Assurance Clause Regarding Non-Discrimination Contractor shall ensure that the following clause is placed in every Subcontract agreement:
“The Contractor or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of federal law. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Contract, which may result in the termination of this Contract or such other remedy as the City deems appropriate, which may include but is not limited to:
1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
2) Assessing sanctions;
3) Liquidated damages; and/or
4) Disqualifying the Consultant from future bidding as non-responsible” C. Nondiscrimination Statement
The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor will never exclude any person from participation in, deny any person the benefits of, or otherwise discriminate against anyone in connection with the award and performance of any contract covered by 49 CFR 26 on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin. In administering the Local Agency components of the DBE Program Plan, the contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor will not, directly, or through contractual or other arrangements, use criteria or methods of administration that have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the DBE Program Plan with respect to individuals of a particular race, color, sex, or national origin.

D. DBE Goal and Contractor DBE Commitment
The City establishes contract-specific DBE goals to meet any portion of the City’s Overall DBE Goal that the City does not project being able to meet using race-neutral means. The City establishes contractspecific goals only on those DOT-assisted contracts that have subcontracting opportunities.

The City may establish a DBE contract goal that is higher or lower than its overall goal, depending on such factors as the type of work involved, the location of the work, and the availability of DBEs for the work of the particular contract.

The City established 5.72% DBE contract-specific goal on this project and the Contractor has committed to A 5.72% DBE participation. The Contractor is required to demonstrate DBE responsiveness towards meeting the 5.72% DBE contract-specific goal on this project as well as their DBE commitments.

Contractor agrees to ensure that any DBE subcontractor listed on the “DBE Participation Commitment Form” will perform work and/or supply materials in accordance with original commitments, unless otherwise directed and/or approved by City prior to Contractor effectuating any changes to its DBE participation commitment(s).

The Contractor must demonstrate responsiveness to meeting the DBE goal throughout the life of the project. The Contractor's DBE commitment shall be evaluated by dividing the value of DBE commitments (executed subcontracts or purchase orders) by the Contractor's total contract value. DBE utilization or DBE attainment will be evaluated by dividing the dollars paid to DBE firms by the Contractor’s current contract value. The Contractor must notify the City in a timely manner and in writing, of changes to planned DBE participation or problems anticipated in attaining the DBE contract goal. In accordance with the City's DBE Program, the Contractor must include satisfactory evidence that good faith efforts were undertaken and must specify additional good faith efforts planned to remedy any shortfall towards meeting the DBE contract goal.

If there is a change order to a contract on which there is a DBE contract goal, then that contract goal applies to the total contract value, inclusive of all change orders. This is true regardless of whether the City or the Contractor initiates the change order.

E. DBE Eligibility
A DBE must be certified at the time of proposal submission:

The City requires all DBEs listed for participation to be DBE certified by a California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) certifying member agency. The City is a non-certifying member agency of the CUCP. Therefore, the City will accept DBE certifications from member agencies which certify the eligibility of DBEs in accordance with 49 CFR Part

26.81, under the CUCP.

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to verify the DBE certification status of all listed DBEs prior to listing the firm as a DBE participant.

It is also the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that each DBE is certified in the NAICS code that corresponds to the DBE’s contract scope of work. The City’s evaluation of the “Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Participation Listing” form requires DBEs to be certified for the scope listed in accordance with the regulatory requirements.

A DBE may participate as a Prime Contractor, subcontractor, joint venture partner with a Prime or Subcontractor, vendor of material or supplies, or as a trucking company.

A DBE joint venture partner must be responsible for specific contract items of work, or clearly defined portions thereof. Responsibility means actually performing, managing and supervising the work with its own forces. The DBE joint venture partner must share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks and profits of the joint venture commensurate with its ownership interest.

The use of joint-checks for DBE firms must be approved by the City prior to execution and a joint-check agreement must accompany the request to City.

F. Commercially Useful Function
DBEs must perform a commercially useful function (CUF) under 49 CFR 26.55 when performing work or supplying materials listed on the DBE Commitment form (Caltrans Exhibit 15-G) or added to the Contract after award. The DBE value of work will only count toward the DBE commitment if the DBE performs a CUF. A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work on the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. Additionally, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the Contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself.

If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30% of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, The City will presume that it is not performing a commercially useful function.

Contractor shall perform CUF evaluation for each DBE working on the Contract. This also includes DBE truckers, suppliers, and other vendors where a subcontract is not required. For contracts between the first-tier DBE and the second-tier DBE, the first-tier DBE must perform the CUF evaluation on the secondtier DBE following the same procedure described in this section. The same CUF requirements are applicable to lower-tier DBE subcontractors that subcontract to DBE subcontractors.

Contractor shall perform a CUF evaluation at the beginning of the DBE’s work and continue to monitor the performance of CUF for the duration of the Contract. Contractor must provide written notification to the City at least 15 days in advance of each DBE's initial performance of work or supplying materials for the Contract. The notification must include the DBE's name, work the DBE will perform on the Contract, and the location, date, and time of where their work will take place.

Within 10 days of a DBE initially performing work or supplying materials on the Contract, Contractor must submit to The City the initial evaluation and validation of DBE performance of a CUF using Exhibit 9-J:

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. Contractor shall include the following information, as applicable, with the submittal:
• Subcontract agreement with the DBE
• Purchase orders
• Bills of lading
• Invoices
• Proof of payment
Contractor must monitor all DBE’s performance of CUF by conducting quarterly evaluations and validations throughout their duration of work on the Contract using Exhibit 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. The Contractor must submit to the City these quarterly evaluations and validations by the 5th of the month for the previous three months of work. Contractor must notify the City immediately if the Contractor believes the DBE may not be performing a CUF.

The City will verify DBE’s performance of CUF by reviewing the initial and quarterly submissions of Exhibit 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation, submitted supporting information, field observations, and any additional The City evaluations. The City will provide written notice to Contractor and DBE at least two (2) business days prior to any evaluation. Contractor and the DBE must participate in the evaluation.

Upon completing the evaluation, the City will share the evaluation results with Contractor and the DBE.

The evaluation may include items that must be remedied upon receipt. If the City determines the DBE is not performing a CUF, then Contractor must suspend performance of the noncompliant work. • The City may request additional information from Contractor if the City determines a DBE is not performing a CUF. Any additional CUF related records and documents must be submitted within five (5) business days of the City’s request. Records and documents may include items such as:
• Proof of ownership or lease and rental agreements for equipment • Tax records
• Employee rosters
• Certified payroll records
• Inventory rosters
Contractor’s failure to submit required DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation forms or requested records and documents can result in withholding of payment for the value of work completed by the DBE.

If Contractor and/or the City determine that a listed DBE is not performing a CUF in performance of their DBE committed work, Contractor shall immediately suspend performance of the noncompliant portion of the work. The City may deny payment for the noncompliant portion of the work.

The City will ask Contractor to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) to the City within five (5) days of the noncompliant CUF determination. The CAP must identify how Contractor will correct the noncompliance findings for the remaining portion of the DBE's work. The City will review the CAP within five (5) days.

Contractor must implement the CAP within five (5) days from the day the City approves the CAP. The City will then authorize the prior noncompliant portion of work for the DBE's committed work. If corrective actions cannot be accomplished to ensure the DBE performs a CUF on the Contract, then Contractor may have good cause to request termination and replacement of the DBE.

G. DBE Crediting Provisions
Credit for DBE participation is determined according to the following provisions:
• When a DBE is proposed to participate in the Contract, either as a prime Contractor or subcontractor, at any tier, only the value of the work proposed to be performed by the DBE with its own forces may be counted toward DBE participation. • If the Contractor is a DBE joint venture participant, only the DBE proportionate interest in the joint venture shall be counted.
• If a DBE intends to subcontract part of the work of its subcontract to a lower tier subcontractor, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE participation only if the DBE subcontractor is a certified DBE and actually performs the work with its own forces. Services subcontracted to a non-DBE firm may not be credited toward the Contractor’s DBE attainment. • Contractor is to calculate and credit participation by eligible DBE vendors of equipment, materials, and suppliers toward DBE attainment, as follows:

1. Sixty percent (60%) of expenditure(s) for equipment, materials, and supplies required under the Contract, obtained from a regular dealer; or

2. One hundred percent (100%) of expenditure(s) for equipment, materials, and supplies required under the Contract, obtained from a DBE manufacturer. • The following types of fees or commissions paid to DBE subcontractors, brokers, and packagers may be credited toward DBE attainment, provided that the fee or commission is reasonable, and not excessive, as compared with fees or commissions customarily allowed for similar work, including:

1. Fees and commissions charged for providing bona fide professional or technical services, or procurement of essential personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, or supplies required in the performance of the Contract;

2. Fees charged for delivery of material and supplies (excluding the cost of materials or supplies themselves) when the licensed hauler, trucker, or delivery service is not also the manufacturer of, or a regular dealer in, the material and supplies;

3. Fees and commissions charged for providing any insurance specifically required in the performance of the Contract.
• Contractor may count the participation of DBE trucking companies toward DBE attainment, as follows:

1. The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on a particular Contract.

2. The DBE must itself own and operate at least one fully licensed, insured, and operational truck used on the Contract.

3. The DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it provides on the Contract using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using drivers it employs.

4. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm, including an owner-operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the Contract.

5. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including an owner-operator. The DBE who leases trucks from a non-DBE is entitled to credit only for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement. The DBE does not receive credit for the total value of the transportation services provided by the lessee, since these services are not provided by a DBE.

6. The DBE may lease trucks without drivers from a non-DBE truck leasing company and if the DBE uses its own employees as drivers, it is entitled to credit for the total value of these hauling services.

7. For purposes of this paragraph, a lease must indicate that the DBE has exclusive use of and control over the truck. This does not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the DBE, so long as the lease gives the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE.
• If the Contractor listed a non-certified DBE 1st tier subcontractor to perform work on this Contract, and the non-certified DBE subcontractor subcontracts a part of its work or purchases materials and/or supplies from a lower-tier DBE certified subcontractor or Vendor, the value of work performed by the lower-tier DBE firm’s own forces can be counted toward DBE participation on the Contract.
• The Contractor is advised not to count the participation of DBEs toward the Contractor’s DBE attainment until the amount being counted has been paid to the DBE.

H. DBE “FRAUDS” AND “FRONTS”
Only legitimate DBEs are eligible to participate as DBEs in the City’s federally-assisted contracts.

Contractor is cautioned against knowingly and willfully using “fronts.” The use of “fronts” and “pass through” subcontracts to non-disadvantaged firms constitute criminal violations. Further, any indication of fraud, waste, abuse or mismanagement of Federal funds should be immediately reported to the Office of Inspector General (OIG), U.S. Department of Transportation, via the online hotline at https://www.oig.dot.gov/hotline, toll-free hotline at 800-424-9071, email at [email protected], or U.S. mail at DOT Inspector General, 1200 New Jersey Ave SE, West Bldg. 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20590. The hotline is open 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

II. SUBMISSION OF DBE INFORMATION AND ON-GOING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS (POST-AWARD) If there is a DBE goal and/or DBE commitment on the contract, Contractor must complete and submit the following information contained in the DBE exhibits (forms) electronically through a City-approved electronic reporting system consistent with Contractor DBE Goal Commitment within the specified timelines unless the City provides the Contractor a written waiver to submit this information in hard copy forms to the City:

A. Monthly DBE Subcontractor Commitment and Attainment Report Summary and Payment Verification The purpose for the Contractor to report this information is to ensure Contractor’s DBE commitments are attained, properly reported and credited in accordance with DBE crediting provisions based on the capacity the DBE performs the scope of work. This data further serves to collect DBE utilization data required under 49 CFR, Part 26.

Contractor must complete and report this data through the City’s electronic reporting system by the 15th of each month until completion of the contract. Reporting will initiate following the first month of contract activity. Even if no DBE participation will be reported within a period, Contractor must submit this report on a Monthly basis. Key monthly reporting elements will include:

1. Contractor Prompt Payment and Retention Verification Summary Contractor will be required to electronically report payment and retention data for each lower-tier subcontractor in which the Contractor has reflected a value paid within the reporting period (DBE and Non-DBE). The reporting summary will include the subcontractor’s Invoice Number, Invoice Amount, Invoice Date, and Date Paid. The corresponding Check Number, Retention, and Disputed Invoice Amount withheld or other key information shall be included in the notes.

When reporting the Contractor’s payments received, the Contractor’s Invoice Number should be included in the notes. The date of Invoice submission to City, and date and amount City paid on Contractor’s Invoice shall also be reported.

This reporting further serves to collect DBE utilization data required under 49 CFR, Part 26.

This data will assist the City in ensuring Contractor’s DBE commitments are attained, properly reported and credited in accordance with DBE crediting provisions based on the capacity the DBE performs the scope of work.

Contractor is advised not to report the participation of DBE(s) toward the Contractor’s DBE attainment until the amount being claimed has been paid to the DBE.

2. Contractor Assurance of Full Compliance with Prompt Payment Provisions When submitting electronic payment and retention information, Contractor shall review its payments to subcontractor to ensure compliance with prompt payment and retention requirements have been met for all subcontractors in accordance with regulatory mandates and as required by 49 CFR part 26.29.

Note: If Contractor submits subcontractor commitment and payment information required under item A. “Monthly DBE Subcontractor Commitment and Attainment Report Summary and Payment Verification” through the City-approved electronic reporting system, the hard copy reports under item A. are not required to be submitted. However, if Contractor is not reporting this information through the City-approved electronic system, the Contractor is required to seek a waiver to submit these hard copy reports.

B. DBE Subcontractor Agreements
Contractor must submit to City copies of executed subcontracts and/or purchase orders (PO) for all DBE firms participating on the contract within ten (10) working days of award. Contractormust immediately notify City in writing of any problems it may have in obtaining the subcontract agreements from listed DBE firms within the specified time.

C. Monthly DBE Trucking Verification” Form
Prior to the 15th of each month, Contractor must submit documentation on the "Monthly DBE Trucking Verification" Form to City showing the amount paid to DBE trucking companies.

Contractor must also obtain and submit documentation to City showing the amount paid by DBE trucking companies to all firms, including owner-operators, for the leasing of trucks. If the DBE leases trucks from a non-DBE, Contractor may count only the fee or commission the DBE receives as a result of the lease arrangement.

Contractor must also obtain and submit documentation to City showing the truck number, owner's name, California Highway Patrol CA number, and if applicable, the DBE certification number of the owner of the truck for all trucks used during that month.

D. Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Upon completion of the contract, Contractor must complete and submit a "Final ReportUtilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Subcontractors" and certified correct by Contractor or Contractor’s authorized representative, to facilitate reporting and capturing actual DBE attainments at conclusion of the contract. To assist in the completion of this report, the Contractor may use the City-approved electronic reporting system to collect the total payments to DBEs. The report must be furnished to City within 30 days from the date of contract acceptance. The amount of 25% will be withheld from payments until a satisfactory report is submitted.

E. Disadvantaged Business (DBE) Certification Status Change If a DBE Subcontractor is decertified during the life of the project, the decertified Subcontractor must notify Contractor in writing with the date of decertification. If a Subcontractor becomes a certified DBE during the life of the project, the Subcontractor must notify Contractor in writing with the date of certification (Attach DBE certification/decertification letter). Contractor must furnish the written documentation to City.

Upon completion of the contract, the "Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Certification Status Change" must be signed and certified as correct by Contractor indicating the DBEs' existing certification status. If there are no changes, indicate “No Changes”. The certified form must be furnished to the City–– within 90 days from the date of contract acceptance.

Failure to submit any of the required reporting submittals above and their support documentation in a timely manner shall result in a penalty of $10 per day, per report.

City requires Contractor to maintain records and documents of payments to lower-tiers, including DBEs, for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment by City, unless otherwise provided by applicable record retention requirements for Contractor’s agreement, whichever is longer. These records will be made available for inspection upon request by any authorized representative of City. This reporting requirement extends to all lower-tiers, both DBE and non-DBE.

City reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to demonstrate responsiveness to the requirements of CFR 49 part 26.37 by implementing the following method(s):
a. Posting Contractor payments data to a website, database, or other place accessible to subcontractors to assist them in determining when they should expect to receive payment. b. Requiring contractors to use an automated reporting system, inclusive of but not limited to real time entry of payments made and received by contractors and their lower-tiers.

F. Prompt Payment
The City has adopted a prompt payment provision on all U.S. DOT-assisted contracts to facilitate timely payment to all subcontractors in accordance with regulatory mandates. The City will include the following clause in each DOT-assisted prime contract:

The prime Contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than thirty (30) days from the receipt of each payment the prime contract receives from the City. The prime Contractor agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within seven (7) days after receiving payment for work satisfactorily completed and accepted including incremental acceptances of portions of the contract work by the City. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may take place only for good cause and with the City’s prior written approval.

The Contractor shall incorporate this clause verbatim, set forth above, in all subcontract, broker, dealer, vendor, supplier or PO or other source agreements issued to both DBE and non-DBE firms. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors.

Any violation of the provisions listed above shall subject the violating contractor to the penalties, sanctions, and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative or judicial remedies otherwise available to the Contractor or subcontractor in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the Contractor; deficient subcontractor performance and/or noncompliance by a subcontractor.

Failure to comply with this provision without prior approval from the City will constitute noncompliance, which may result in the application of appropriate administrative sanctions, including, but not limited to, a penalty of two percent (2%) of the invoice amount due per month, for every month that full payment is not made.

G. Performance of DBE Subcontractors
The following requirements govern the performance of DBE subcontractors:
• DBEs listed by the Contractor in its “DBE Participation Commitment” Form submitted with the executed Contract documents shall perform the work and supply the materials for which they are listed, unless the Contractor has received prior written authorization from the City to perform the work with other forces or to obtain the materials from other sources. • Contractor shall provide written notification to the City in a timely manner of any changes to its anticipated DBE participation. This notice should be provided prior to the commencement of that portion of the work.

H. DBE Running Tally of Payments
After submitting an invoice to the City that includes a payment to a DBE, and no later than the tenth day of the following month, Contractor shall complete and submit the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Running Tally of Payments (Caltrans LAPM Exhibit 9-F) form to [email protected] with a copy provided to the City Project Manager. The form is available on the following website:
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/forms/localassistance-procedures-manual-forms. The City may impose penalties or withhold payments up to $10,000 each month under this Agreement if Contractor fails to submit the form on time.
[For projects awarded on or after September 1, 2023.]

PROMPT PAYMENT AND DBE RUNNING TALLY OF PAYMENTS
Contractor must submit Exhibit 9-P: Prompt Payment Certification to the City by the 15th of the month following the month of any payment(s). If Contractor does not make any payments to subcontractors, supplier(s) and/or manufacturers, Contractor must report “no payments were made to subcontractors this month” and write this visibly and legibly on Exhibit 9-P. A failure to complete the Prompt Pay reporting requirement may result in the withholding of Contractor’s next progress payment up to $10,000 each month and/or final payment. The City may issue a corrective action plan and/or may suspend the contract in whole or in part if Contractor does not make up the shortfall.

I. Addition of DBE Firms
In the event that the Contractor identifies additional DBE subcontractors or suppliers not previously identified for DBE participation under the Contract, Contractor shall notify the City by completing and submitting a “Request for Additional DBE Firm” form to enable the City to verify the firm's eligibility, capacity, commercially useful function (CUF) and ensure there is not a scope conflict with another listed firm. Proposed firms cannot be applied towards Contractor's DBE participation until approved by the City.

Additionally, each “Request for Additional DBE Firm” form must be accompanied by a written confirmation from the DBE acknowledging that it is participating in the Contract for a specified value, including the corresponding scope of work.

J. DBE Subcontractor Termination and Replacement and On-Going Good Faith Efforts Contractor cannot terminate or perform any work of a DBE listed on Exhibit 15-G: Construction Contract DBE Commitment. Neither can it substitute any work for a DBE subcontractor without the written consent of the City prior to any replacement taking place. Unless the City provides prior written consent, Contractor is not entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE on the Exhibit 15-G. After affording the DBE due process, when Contractor receives written permission from the City to terminate it must then make adequate Good Faith Efforts (GFEs) for any necessary replacement of a DBE subcontractor to the extent needed to meet the DBE commitment.

Termination of DBE Subcontractors
Contractor must utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for each item listed in the contract unless Contractor obtains written permission from the City. After a contract with a specified DBE goal has been executed, termination of a DBE may be allowed for the following, but not limited to, justifiable reasons with prior written authorization from the City:
• The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to execute a written contract. • The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to perform the work of its subcontract in a way consistent with normal industry standards.
• The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to meet the prime contractor's reasonable, nondiscriminatory bond requirements.
• The listed DBE subcontractor becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness. • The listed DBE subcontractor is ineligible to work on public works projects because of suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant 2 CFR Parts 180, 215 and 1200 or applicable state law.
• Work requires a contractor's license and listed DBE does not have a valid license under Contractors License Law or is not properly registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations as a public works contractor.
• The City has determined that the listed DBE subcontractor is not a responsible contractor. • The listed DBE subcontractor voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides you written notice of its withdrawal.
• The listed DBE is ineligible to receive DBE credit for the type of work required. • A DBE owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that the listed DBE contractor is unable to complete its work on the contract.
• Other documented good cause that the City determines compels the termination of the DBE subcontractor.

To terminate a DBE or to terminate a portion of a DBE's work, Contractor must use the following procedures:

1. Send a written notice to the DBE of the contractor’s intent to use other forces or material sources and include one or more justifiable reasons listed above. Simultaneously send a copy of this written notice to the City. The written notice to the DBE must request they provide any response within five (5) business days to both the contractor and the City by either acknowledging their agreement or documenting their reasoning as to why the use of other forces or sources of materials should not occur.

2. If the DBE does not respond within five (5) business days, the contractor may move forward with the request as if the DBE had agreed to the contractor’s written notice.

3. Submit the DBE termination request by written letter to the City and include:
• One or more above listed justifiable reasons along with supporting documentation. • The contractor’s written notice to the DBE regarding the request, including proof of transmission and tracking documentation of the contractor’s written notice • The DBE's response to the contractor’s written notice, if received. If a written response was not provided, provide a statement to that effect.

The City will respond in writing to Contractor’s DBE termination request within five (5) business days.

Replacement of DBE Subcontractors
After receiving written authorization of DBE termination request from the City, Contractor must obtain a written agreement from the City for DBE replacement. Contractor must find or demonstrate GFEs to find qualified DBE replacement firms to perform the work to the extent needed to meet the DBE commitment.

The following procedures must be followed to request authorization to replace a DBE firm:

1. Submit a request to replace a DBE with other forces or material sources in writing to the City which must include:
a. Description of remaining uncommitted work item made available for replacement DBE solicitation and participation.
b. The proposed DBE replacement firm's business information, the work they have agreed to perform, and the following:
• Quote for bid item work and description of work to be performed • Proposed subcontract agreement and written confirmation of agreement to perform on the Contract
• Revised Subcontracting Request form
• Revised Exhibit 15-G:Construction Contract DBE Commitment

2. If Contractor has not identified a DBE replacement firm, submit documentation of GFEs to use DBE replacement firms within seven (7) days of the City's authorization to terminate the DBE.

Contractor may request the City's approval to extend this submittal period to a total of 14 days.

Submit documentation of actions taken to find a DBE replacement firm, such as:
• Search results of certified DBEs available to perform the original DBE work identified and or other work the contractor had intended to self-perform, to the extent needed to meet the DBE commitment
• Solicitations of DBEs for performance of work identified • Correspondence with interested DBEs that may have included contract details and requirements
• Negotiation efforts with DBEs that reflect why an agreement was not reached • If a DBE's quote was rejected, provide reasoning for the rejection, such as why the DBE was unqualified for the work, or why the price quote was unreasonable or excessive • Copies of each DBE's and non-DBE's price quotes for work identified, as The City may contact the firms to verify solicitation efforts and determine if the DBE quotes are substantially higher
• Additional documentation that supports the good faith effort The City will respond in writing to the contractor’s DBE replacement request within five (5) business days.

Contractor must submit a revised Subcontracting Request form if the replacement plan is authorized by the City.

III. USE OF JOINT CHECKS
A joint check may be used between Contractor or lower-tier subcontractor and a DBE subcontractor purchasing materials from a material supplier if Contractor obtains prior approval from the City for the proposed use of joint check upon submittal of the LAPM 9-K: DLA Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Joint Check Agreement Request form.

To use a joint check, the following conditions must be met:
• All parties, including the Contractor, must agree to the use of a joint check • Entity issuing the joint check acts solely to guarantee payment • DBE must release the check to the material supplier
• The City must authorize the request before implementation • Any party to the agreement must provide requested documentation within 10 days from when the City requested the documentation
• Agreement to use a joint check must be short-term, not to exceed 1 year, allowing sufficient time needed to establish or increase a credit line with the material supplier A request for a joint check agreement may be initiated by any party. If a joint check is used, the DBE remains responsible for all elements of 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1). Failure to comply with the above requirements disqualifies DBE participation and results in no credit and no payment to the Contractor for DBE participation. A joint check may not be used between the Contractor or subcontractor and a DBE regular dealer, bulk material supplier, manufacturer, wholesaler, broker, trucker, packager, manufacturer’s representative, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions.

IV. NON-COMPLIANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONS
Contractor must fully comply with the DBE contract requirements, including City’s DBE Program and Title 49 CFR, Part 26 “Participation of Disadvantaged Businesses in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs” and ensure that all Subcontractors regardless of tier are also fully compliant. Failure by Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as the City deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:

1. Suspension of progress payments to the Contractor or of any monies held by the City as retention on the contract until the Contractor is brought into compliance;

2. A 2% withhold of applicable progress payments until the Contractor is brought into compliance; and/or

3. Termination of the contract in part or in whole.

In instances of identified non-compliance, a Cure Notice will be issued to Contractor identifying the DBE non-compliance matter(s) and specifying the required course of action for remedy.

Contractor must be given ten (10) working days from the date of the Cure Notice to remedy or to (1) File a written appeal accompanied with supporting documentation and/or (2) Request a hearing with City to reconsider City’s DBE determination. Failure to respond within the ten (10) working day period must constitute a waiver of Contractor's right to appeal. If Contractor files an appeal, City, must issue a written determination and/or set a hearing date within ten (10) working days of receipt of the written appeal, as applicable. A final Determination will be issued within ten (10) working days after the hearing, as applicable.

If, after review of Contractor's appeal, City decides to uphold the decision to impose DBE administrative remedies on Contractor, the written determination must state the specific remedy(ies) to be imposed.

Failure to comply with the Cure Notice and/or to remedy the identified DBE non-compliance matter(s) is a material breach of contract and is subject to administrative remedies, including, withholding at minimum of two percent (2%) of the invoice amount due per month for every month that the identified non-compliance matter(s) is not remedied. Upon satisfactory compliance City will release all withholdings.

In addition to administrative remedies defined in this section, City is not precluded from invoking other contractual and/or legal remedies available under federal, state or local laws.

V. PROMPT PAYMENT FROM THE CITY TO CONTRACTOR
The City shall make all project progress payments within 30 days after receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted payment request from the Contractor on a construction contract. If the City fails to pay promptly, the City shall pay interest to the Contractor, which accrues at the rate of 10 percent per annum on the principal amount of a money judgment remaining unsatisfied and pro-rated as necessary.

Upon receipt of the payment request, the City shall act in accordance with both of the following:

1. Review each payment request as soon as feasible after receipt to verify it is a proper payment request.

2. Return any payment request deemed improper by the City to the Contractor as soon as feasible, but not later than seven (7) days, after receipt. A request returned pursuant to this paragraph shall include documentation setting forth in writing the reasons why it is an improper payment request.

VI. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
All contracts shall contain provisions or conditions which will allow for dispute resolution remedies in instances where Contractor violates or breaches DBE Program requirements, inclusive but not limited to prompt payment, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as may be appropriate.

Contractor shall incorporate this Section into each subcontract related to work arising under this contract and shall not incorporate by reference.

Contractor and Subcontractor agree to notify City within five (5) business days of any prompt payment and/or DBE Program disputes which cannot be settled by discussions between the parties involved.

Contractor and Subcontractor further agree to proceed through informal meetings, mediation, arbitration, or any combination thereof as further detailed below. Dispute submittals shall include the method(s) of dispute resolution selected, terms, timeframes and a detailed summary of assistance being requested (as applicable).

I. INFORMAL MEETINGS:

The City is available to assist the prime with coordination of informal meeting requests, to assist in the resolution of disputes between Contractor and Subcontractor. City’s DBELO or a designated DBE support representative will conduct the informal meetings with parties in dispute. Representatives from the Contractor and Subcontractor, for the purpose of dispute resolution, must include individuals authorized to bind each interested party. All parties must agree to the procedure.

II. MEDIATION
The parties to a contract may agree to endeavor to settle a dispute through informal mediation under independent third-party organizations. City’s DBELO and designated support staff is considered an independent third party. Submission to informal mediation is voluntary; is not binding and offers advisory opinions.

Performance during dispute: Unless otherwise directed by the City, Contractor and its subcontractor tiers shall continue performance under the Contract while matters in dispute are being resolved.

III. ARBITRATION
Should the parties fail to resolve any DBE related dispute arising out of or related to the contract via informal meetings or mediation, the parties are contractually obligated to submit the claims for arbitration within 120 days from date the City is notified of the dispute. Arbitration conducted pursuant to the contract shall be binding upon all parties to the arbitration, however, the findings do not in any way relieve the Contractor of its obligation to meet a DBE goal. All arbitration is to be conducted in a manner consistent with section 1020 et seq. of the Public Contract Code and Section 1296 of Code of Civil Procedure.

Flow down requirements: The Dispute Resolution provisions flow down to all tiers.

These provisions shall not apply to disputes between the Contractor and City. These provisions do not alter in any way or waive compliance with other provisions in the contract agreement.

Reel Waste (877) 588-7335 or (818) 361-2200 550 Glenoaks Blvd, San Fernando The City of Santa Clarita's Construction & Demolition Recycling Ordinance (05-09) requires all demolition projects, all commercial construction projects, all new construction or additions over 1,000 square feet and all tenant improvements, alterations or other construction valued over $200,000, to recycle a minimum of 65 percent (65%) of all materials. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the recycling requirements are met by working closely with the approved waste hauler(s). Applicant must keep records from all waste hauler(s), weight tickets from the C&D recycling centers/landfills for all aspects of the project including construction, demolition and subcontractor activities. These records will be necessary to prove your recycling tonnages and will be required to have your retention released at the end of the project. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in a forfeiture of retention funds for non-compliance.

City of Santa Clarita Franchised Haulers
All temporary bin and roll-off box services in the City of Santa Clarita are franchised by the following companies. General contractors who subcontract services shall ensure all subcontractors are either using a City franchised hauler or are eligible to self-haul. Records of all contractor and subcontractor activities are required to be maintained for project closeout.

If you are not self-hauling, you must use one of the haulers listed below:

Self-Haul
Contractors and sub contactors may self-haul their own construction and demolition materials only if they possess a valid California contractor's license for their scope of work. For example, in order for a framing contractor to self-haul, the framing contractor shall be licensed with the California State Licensing Board (CSLB) to conduct framing services and can only haul materials attributed to their specific trade and may not offer hauling services to other unrelated trades.

Completion of a self-hauler verification form is requested for project closeout.
