Rev. 08/2025

5.2. EXCUSABLE DELAYS
Contractor shall not be in breach of the Contract in the event that performance of Services is temporarily interrupted or discontinued due to a “Force Majeure” event which is defined as: riots, wars, sabotage, civil disturbances, insurrections, or explosions; natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, and fires; strikes, lockouts, and other labor disturbances; or other catastrophic events, which are beyond the reasonable control of Contractor. Force Majeure does not include Contractor’s financial inability to perform, Contractor’s failure to obtain any necessary permits or licenses from other governmental agencies, or Contractor’s failure to obtain the right to use the facilities of any public utility where such failure is due solely to the acts or omissions of Contractor. If Contractor’s performance of the Services is delayed by an excusable delay, the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates shall be extended for such reasonable time as determined by the City Engineer. Extensions in time must be requested by Contractor within fifteen (15) calendar days of the excusable delay in order to receive consideration.

5.3. EMERGENCY - ADDITIONAL TIME FOR PERFORMANCE - PROCUREMENT OF

MATERIALS
If, because of war or other declared national emergency, the federal or state government restricts, regulates, or controls the procurement and allocation of labor or materials, or both, and if solely because of said restrictions, regulations or controls, Contractor is, through no fault of Contractor, unable to perform the Services, or the work is thereby suspended or delayed, any of the following steps may be taken:

A. City may, pursuant to resolution of the City Council, grant Contractor additional time for the performance of the Contract, sufficient to compensate in time, for delay or suspension.

To qualify for such extension in time, Contractor within ten (10) days of Contractor's discovering such inability to perform, shall notify the City Engineer in writing thereof, and give specific reasons therefore; the City Engineer shall thereupon have sixty (60) days within which to procure such needed materials or labor as is specified in this agreement, or permit substitution, or provide for changes in the work in accordance with subdivision (b) of this Section.

Substituted materials, or changes in the work, or both, shall be ordered in writing by the City Engineer, and the concurrence of the City Council shall not be necessary. All reasonable expenses of such procurement incurred by the City Engineer shall be defrayed by the Contractor; or B. If such materials or labor cannot be procured through legitimate channels within sixty (60) days after the filing of the aforesaid notice, either Party may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the other, terminate this agreement. In such event, Contractor shall be compensated for all work executed upon a unit basis in proportion to the amount of the work completed, or upon a cost plus-ten-percent (10%) basis, whichever is the lesser. Materials on the ground, in process of fabrication or in route upon the date of notice of termination specially ordered for the Project and which cannot be utilized by Contractor, shall be compensated for by City at cost, including freight, provided Contractor shall take all steps possible to minimize this obligation; or
C. The City Council, by resolution, may suspend the Contract until the cause of inability to perform is removed for a period of not to exceed sixty (60) days.

If the Contract is not canceled, and the inability of Contractor to perform continues without fault on Contractor's part, beyond the time during which the Contract may have been suspended, as herein above Contract Packet - 5 of 59

provided, the City Council may further suspend the Contract, or either Party hereto may, without incurring any liability, elect to declare the Contract terminated upon the ground of impossibility of performance. In the event City declares this agreement terminated, such declaration shall be authorized by the City Council by resolution, and Contractor shall be notified in writing thereof within five (5) days after the adoption of such resolution. Upon such termination, Contractor shall be entitled to proportionate compensation at the Contract Price for such portion of the Contract as may have been performed; or
D. City may terminate the Contract, in which case Contractor shall be entitled to proportionate compensation at the agreed rate for such portion of the Contract as may have been performed. Such termination shall be authorized by resolution of the City Council. Notice thereof shall be forthwith given in writing to Contractor, and the Contract shall be terminated upon receipt by Contractor of such notice.

In the event of the termination provided in this sub paragraph (iv), none of the covenants, conditions or provisions hereof shall apply to the Services not performed, and City shall be liable to Contractor for the proportionate compensation last herein mentioned.

5.4. DELAY DAMAGES
In the event Contractor, for any reason, fails to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the City Engineer by the Substantial Completion Due Date, City may, in accordance with Section 7203 of the Public Contract Code, in lieu of any other of its rights authorized by TERMINATION of this agreement, deduct from payments or credits due Contractor after such breach a sum equal to Five Thousand Two Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($5,200.00) for each calendar day beyond the Substantial Completion Due Date. Upon Substantial Completion of the work, and in the event Contractor, for any reason, fails to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the City Engineer by the Final Completion Due Date, City may, in accordance with Section 7203 of the Public Contract Code, in lieu of any other of its rights authorized by TERMINATION of this agreement, deduct from payments or credits due Contractor after such breach a sum equal to One Thousand One Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($1,100.00) for each calendar day beyond the Final Completion Due Date. This deduction shall not be considered a penalty but shall be considered as delay damages. The aforementioned rate of deduction is an amount agreed to by the Parties as reasonably representing additional construction engineering costs incurred by City if Contractor fails to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates. However, any deduction assessed as delay damages shall not relieve Contractor from liability for any damages or costs resulting from delays to other contractors on the project or other projects caused by a failure of the assessed Contractor to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates.

Due account shall be taken of any time extensions granted to Contractor by City. Permitting Contractor to continue work beyond the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates shall not operate as a waiver on the part of City of any of its rights under the Contract nor shall it relieve Contractor from liability for any damages or costs resulting from delays to other contractors on the project or other projects caused by a failure of the assessed Contractor to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates.

6. TERMINATION

Rev. 08/2025
any of the terms of the Contract (the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party shall give notice to the Defaulting Party and allow the Defaulting Party ten (10) days to correct such deficiency. If the Defaulting Party does not correct such deficiency, the other Party may immediately terminate the Contract by giving written notice of such termination, stating the reason for such termination. In such event, Contractor shall be entitled to receive payment for all Services satisfactorily rendered until such termination, provided, however, there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage, if any, sustained by virtue of any breach of the Contract by Contractor, including Delay Damages. If payment under the Contract is based upon a lump sum in total or by individual task, payment for Services satisfactorily rendered shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to the total fees specified in this Agreement as the Services satisfactorily rendered hereunder by Contractor to the total services otherwise required to be performed for such total fee, provided, however, that there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage, if any sustained by City by virtue of any breach of the Contract by Contractor. Upon termination, Contractor shall deliver copies of all Work Product, as defined in OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT of this Agreement, to City. If District terminates the Contract before Contractor commences any Services hereunder, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Contractor.

B. If Contractor should be adjudged bankrupt or if it should make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of its insolvency, or if it or any of its subcontractors should violate any of the provisions of the Contract, City may serve written notice upon it and its surety of its intention to terminate the Contract. Such notice shall contain the reasons for City’s intention to terminate the Contract, and unless such violations shall cease within five (5) calendar days after serving of such notice, the Contract shall cease and terminate upon the expiration of said five (5) calendar days. In the event of any such termination, City shall immediately serve written notice thereof upon the surety and Contractor, and the surety shall have the right to take over and perform the Contract; provided however, that, if the surety does not give City written notice of its intention to take over and perform the Contract or does not commence performance thereof within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the service of such notice, City may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or any other method it may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of Contractor, and Contractor and its surety shall be jointly liable to City for any excess cost occasioned City thereby, and in such event City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such materials, appliances, and other property belonging to Contractor as may be on the Project site and necessary thereof.

7. LIABILITY FOR BREACH
Neither Party waives the right to recover direct damages against the other for breach of the Contract, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Contractor's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. City reserves the right to offset such damages against any payments owed to Contractor. City shall not, in any manner, be liable for special or consequential damages, including but not limited to Contractor's actual or projected lost profits had Contractor completed the Services required by the Contract. In the event of termination by either Party, copies of all finished or unfinished Work Product, as defined in OWNERSHIP OF Contract Packet - 7 of 59

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall City be liable, regardless of whether any claim is based on contract or tort, for any special, consequential, indirect or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits or revenue, arising out of or in connection with the Contract or the Services performed in connection with the Contract.

8. COMPENSATION
City shall make payments to Contractor in accordance with the provisions of DISPUTES PERTAINING TO PAYMENT FOR WORK of the City Standards in legally executed and regularly issued warrants of City, drawn on the appropriate fund or funds as required by law and order of the City Council thereof. Contractor shall be administered a progress payment approximately every thirty (30) calendar days from the time work begins according to the payment schedule furnished by the City Engineer at the time work begins. Contractor shall provide access at all reasonable times to all reports, contract records, contract documents, contract files, and personnel necessary to audit and verify Contractor’s charges to City under this Contract.

Monthly progress payments in the amount of 95 percent (95%) of the value of the work will be made to Contractor based on the Contractor’s estimate and the schedule of prices contained in the accepted bid. The remaining 5 percent (5%) will be retained by City as partial security for the fulfillment of the Contract except that at any time after 50 percent (50%) of the work has been completed, if the City Engineer finds that satisfactory progress is being made and the Project’s critical path of work are on schedule, City may discontinue any further retention. Such discontinuance will only be made upon the written request of Contractor. City may, at any time the City Engineer finds that satisfactory progress is not being made, again institute retention of 5 percent (5%) as specified above. Payment will be made as soon as possible after the preparation of the Contractor’s estimate. City shall pay the remaining 5 percent (5%) of the value of the Services completed under this Contract, if unencumbered by retentions for claims, not sooner than the expiration of thirty-five (35) calendar days from the date of recordation of the Notice of Completion, pursuant to TERM of this agreement, and not later than sixty (60) days from the “completion” of the Services as said term is defined in Public Contract Code section 7107(c).

No estimate or payment shall be made if, in the judgment of the City Engineer, the work is not proceeding in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, or when, in his judgment, the total value of the work done since the last estimate amounts to less than $1,000. No progress payments will be made if the time allotted for the job is thirty (30) working days or less. Payment of any progress payment, or the acceptance thereof by Contractor, shall not constitute acceptance of the work performed under this Contractor, or any portion thereof, and shall in no way reduce the liability of Contractor to replace unsatisfactory work or materials, though the unsatisfactory character of such work or materials may not have been apparent or detected at the time such payment was made.

Additionally, as a precondition to City’s progress payments hereunder, Contractor shall provide to City, prior to payment, unconditional waivers and releases of stop notices pursuant to Civil Code section 8128 et seq. from each subcontractor and materials supplier. The form of said waivers and releases shall be as set forth in Civil Code section 3262(d)(2).

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300 et seq., Contractor may request the right to substitute securities for any moneys withheld by City to ensure the performance required of Contractor under the Contract, or that City make payment of retentions earned directly into an escrow account established at the expense of Contractor.

Contract Packet - 46 of 59
Docusign Envelope ID: 20C42002-BB6E-88C4-81EB-EAFA1F3C92D3

1 EXHIBIT B

PAYMENT BY FORCE ACCOUNT
For work paid by force account, the City Engineer compares City’s records to Contractor’s daily force account work report. When the City Engineer and Contractor agree on the contents of the daily force account work reports, the City Engineer accepts the report and City pays for the work.

If the records differ, City pays for the work based only on the information shown on City’s records.

If a subcontractor performs work at force account, work paid at force account will be accepted at an additional 2 percent (2%) markup to the total cost of that work, including markups, as reimbursement for additional administrative costs. The markups specified in labor, materials, and equipment includes compensation for all delay costs, overhead costs, and profit. If an item's unit price is adjusted for work-character changes, City excludes Contractor’s cost of determining the adjustment. Payment for owner-operated labor and equipment is made at the market-priced invoice submitted.

A. Labor. Labor payment is full compensation for the cost of labor used in the direct performance of the work plus a fifteen percent (15%) markup, as set forth below, and consistent with California Labor Code section 1770 et seq. Force account labor payment consists of:

1. Employer payment to the worker for:

1.1 Basic hourly wage

1.2 Health and welfare

1.3 Pension

1.4 Vacation

1.5 Training

1.6 Other State and federal recognized fringe benefit payments

2. Labor surcharge percentage in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates current during the work paid at force account for:

2.1 Workers' compensation insurance

2.2 Social security

2.3 Medicare

2.4 Federal unemployment insurance

2.5 State unemployment insurance

2.6 State training taxes

3. Subsistence and travel allowances paid to the workers

4. Employer payment to supervisors, if authorized
The fifteen percent (15%) markup consists of payment for all overhead costs related to labor but not designated as costs of labor used in the direct performance of the work including:
(a) Home office overhead
Contract Packet - 47 of 59
Docusign Envelope ID: 20C42002-BB6E-88C4-81EB-EAFA1F3C92D3

2 (b) Field office overhead
(c) Bond costs
(d) Profit
(e) Labor liability insurance
(f) Other fixed or administrative costs that are not costs of labor used in the direct performance of the work
B. Materials. Material payment is full compensation for materials the Contractor furnishes and uses in the work. The City Engineer determines the cost based on the material purchase price, including delivery charges, except:

1. A fifteen percent (15%) markup is added;

2. Supplier discounts are subtracted whether the Contractor takes them or not;

3. If the City Engineer believes the material purchase prices are excessive, City pays the lowest current wholesale price for a similar material quantity;

4. If Contractor procured the materials from a source Contractor wholly or partially own, the determined cost is based on the lower of the:

4.1 Price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from that source on Contract items; and

4.2 Current wholesale price for those materials;
5 If Contractor does not submit a material cost record within thirty (30) days of billing, the determined cost is based on the lowest wholesale price:

1.1 During that period

1.2 In the quantities used
C. Equipment Rental. Equipment rental payment is full compensation for:

1. Rental equipment costs, including moving rental equipment to and from the change order work site using its own power.

2. Transport equipment costs for rental equipment that cannot be transported economically using its own power. No payment is made during transport for the transported equipment.

3. Fifteen percent (15%) percent markup.

If Contractor wants to return the equipment to a location other than its original location, the payment to move the equipment must not exceed the cost of returning the equipment to its original location. If Contractor uses the equipment for work other than work paid by force account, the transportation cost is included in the other work.

Contract Packet - 48 of 59
Docusign Envelope ID: 20C42002-BB6E-88C4-81EB-EAFA1F3C92D3

3 Before moving or loading the equipment, Contractor must obtain authorization for the equipment rental's original location.

The City Engineer determines rental costs:

1. Using rates in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates:

1.1. By classifying equipment using manufacturer's ratings and manufacturerapproved changes.

1.2. Current during the work paid by force account.

1.3. Regardless of equipment ownership but City uses the rental document rates or minimum rental cost terms if:

1.3.1. Rented from equipment business Contractor does not own.

1.3.2. The Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates hourly rate is $10.00 per hour or less.

No Party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempt or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

18. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES BY CITY:

City reserves the right to suspend Professional's Services under this Agreement when City determines that it is necessary to do so. When possible, City shall give Professional notice of such suspension and Professional shall, upon receipt of said notice, suspend all Services except any Services, the completion of which is authorized by the notice given by City. If the Services are suspended by City for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, for reasons other than the fault of the Professional, the Professional shall be compensated for Services performed prior to notice of such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Professional's compensation shall be equitably adjusted by City to provide for expenses incurred by the interruption of the Services.

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-049 7
necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional during the period when Services were suspended.

If the Parties are unable to agree upon the amount of extra compensation which is due to Professional within thirty (30) days of Professional resuming Services, the amount of such additional compensation, if any, that is required to appropriately compensate the Professional for its expenses incurred by the interruption of Services may, upon the request of either Party, be determined by arbitration conducted in accordance with "ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES" of this Agreement. Such arbitration shall be commenced by the Professional no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the event which entitles the Parties to pursue arbitration unless the Parties agree in writing to an extended time period for commencement of arbitration. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all Parties shall carry on the Services and perform their duties during any arbitration proceedings, and City shall continue to make payments for the Services in progress as required by this Agreement.

In the event City shall give such notice of termination, Professional shall cease rendering Services upon receipt of said notice given as required in this Agreement. If City terminates this Agreement:

A. Professional shall deliver copies of all Products prepared by it pursuant to this Agreement.

Docusign Envelope ID: 1363B391-5437-89AA-8325-74C7BC17D2ED

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-049 8
B. If City terminates this Agreement for convenience before City issues the Notice to Proceed to Professional or before Professional commences any Services hereunder, whichever last occurs, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Professional. If City terminates this Agreement after City has issued the Notice to Proceed to Professional and after Professional has commenced performance under this Agreement, City shall pay Professional the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional pursuant to this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement. City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services. Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination. In the event of a dispute as to the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination and the Parties are unable to agree upon said amount within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of the notice of termination by City, such dispute may, upon the request of either Party, be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with "ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES" of this Agreement.

C. Except as provided in this Agreement, in no event shall City be liable for costs incurred by or on behalf of Professional after the date of the notice of termination.

21. ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE:

If, at any time, City believes Professional may not be adequately performing its obligations under this Agreement or may fail to complete the Services as required by this Agreement, City may submit a written request to Professional for written assurances of performance and a plan to correct observed deficiencies in Professional's performance. Failure to provide written assurances subsequent to such written request, constitutes grounds to declare a breach under this Agreement.

22. CANCELLATION FOR BREACH BY EITHER PARTY:

Should either Party fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Party shall thereupon have the right to cancel the Agreement by giving written notice and specifying the effective date of such cancellation. If City cancels this Agreement for breach and it is subsequently determined that Professional did not fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then cancellation for breach by City shall be deemed, and treated, as termination for convenience.

Neither Party waives the right to recover damages against the other for breach of this Agreement, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Professional's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. City reserves the right to offset such damages against any payments owed to Professional.

City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services required by this Agreement.

23. NON-DISCRIMINATION:

In its performance of the Services, Professional shall adhere to City’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy which states, “The City is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals have a full and fair opportunity to compete in all phase of the hiring process and promotion, and to enjoy the benefits of employment with the City.

All employees and applicants shall receive equal consideration and treatment in employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, Docusign Envelope ID: 1363B391-5437-89AA-8325-74C7BC17D2ED

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-049 9
amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal or state statutes, the City’s ordinances, resolutions, rules or regulations.”
In addition, all agreements with sub-contractors will include language as required by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) that requires sub-contractors to maintain equal employment opportunity policies, and, as necessary, affirmative action policies.

24. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES:

All claims, disputes, and other matters in question between City and Professional arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, including claims of Professional for extra compensation for Services related to the Project, shall be decided by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1281 to 1284.2 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (the “Arbitration Laws”) unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. The provisions of Section 1283.05 of the Arbitration Laws apply to any arbitration proceeding except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have authority to decide all issues between the Parties including, but not limited to, claims for extras, delay and liquidated damages, if any, provided for in this Agreement, matters involving defects in the work product of the Professional, rights to payment, and whether the necessary procedures for arbitration have been followed. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Notice of the demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other Party. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or other matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute, or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitation.

The Parties shall jointly appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of giving of the notice of the demand for arbitration. If the Parties are unable to jointly agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator within said fifteen (15) calendar day period, and do not agree in writing to extend said period for a fixed period, then either Party may seek to have the arbitrator appointed by the Superior Court of Stanislaus County in accordance with the Arbitration Laws.

If any proceeding is brought to contest the right to arbitrate and it is determined that such right exists, the losing Party shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party.

In addition to the other rules of law which may be applicable to any arbitration hereunder, the following shall apply:

A. Promptly upon the filing of the arbitration, each Party shall be required to set forth in writing and to serve upon each other Party a detailed statement of its contentions of fact and law.

B. All parties to the arbitration shall be entitled to the discovery procedures as provided in Section 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

C. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted as expeditiously as possible consistent with affording reasonable discovery as provided herein.

D. These additional rules shall be implemented and applied by the arbitrator.

The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the Parties as determined by the arbitrator, but each Party shall bear its own attorney's fees associated with the dispute with the other Party and to the arbitration.

RE: Proposal for Construction Management Services for System Wide AMI and Water Meter Installation Request For Proposal #2026-RFP-021
The City of Turlock (“City”) undertaking an important infrastructure modernization effort to replace aging water meters, implement AMI technology, improve meter accuracy, and support more efficient water system operations.

Willdan Engineering (“Willdan”) understands that the City needs a responsive construction management partner to protect its interests during construction. Our team will provide field oversight, documentation, schedule and cost control, VPM-based administration, labor compliance, materials testing coordination, and stakeholder coordination. Our team is prepared to provide these services through final completion and will work as an extension of City staff to help deliver a fully operational AMI water meter system.

Unlike many traditional construction management firms, Willdan combines direct AMR/AMI construction management experience, utility operations expertise, and hands-on AMI-to-billing integration experience, allowing us to support both the physical meter replacement program and the successful implementation of the City's new AMI platform. Willdan brings direct experience managing, inspecting, and even installing water meter, AMR/AMI, and municipal water infrastructure projects throughout California. Our relevant experience includes the City of South Gate’s Automatic Water Meter Upgrade projects, City of Fillmore’s Citywide Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) development and implementation project, water main replacement projects, and numerous water distribution, pipeline, and utility improvement assignments for public agencies. This experience gives our team a practical understanding of meter replacement logistics, resident coordination, service interruption constraints, quality documentation, and timely project closeout.

Our proposed team is led by Mike Bustos, PE, ENV SP, who will serve as Principal-inCharge and Project Manager, providing a single point of contact for the City. Mike is supported by experienced construction inspection, QA/QC, labor compliance, and materials testing personnel with strong water infrastructure backgrounds. Willdan’s team will use proven project controls, site-specific inspection checklists, Virtual Project Manager, materials testing coordination, and clear issue-resolution procedures to maintain accountability, reduce risk, and support timely decision-making.

Willdan is committed to delivering this project safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with the City’s Scope of Work. We will focus on protecting the City’s interests, minimizing impacts to residents and businesses, maintaining complete and accurate project records, and supporting completion of a high-quality AMI water meter installation project on schedule and within budget.

We appreciate the opportunity to submit our qualifications and look forward to partnering with the City of Turlock on this important project. Please contact Mike at (805) 279-6870 or email at [email protected] to discuss our qualifications in further detail. We have received and acknowledge Addendum #1 dated June 18, 2026.

Water Meter and AMR/AMI Installation Projects. Willdan has successfully delivered comprehensive construction management and inspection services for multiple automatic meter reading and water meter replacement projects throughout California. In the City of South Gate, Willdan provided construction management, inspection, and labor compliance services for the Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) Phase 3, Project No. 649-WTR. This $1.3 million project involved removing and replacing approximately 1,725 existing water meters ranging from 3/4-inch to 2- Docusign Envelope ID: 1363B391-5437-89AA-8325-74C7BC17D2ED

5 inch with new Automatic Meter Reading based water meters and Itron 500W transmitters throughout Route C-1 of the City's water distribution system. The project also included replacing and connecting piping and valves on customer side connections as needed. Willdan is currently providing similar services for the City of South Gate's Phase 5 AMR Upgrade Project, demonstrating the City's continued confidence in Willdan's construction management capabilities. Willdan is also scheduled to begin providing construction inspection services in July 2026 for the City of Glendale Water and Power’s Advance Meter Infrastructure (AMI) System Replacement, which will feature 34,662 new water AMI meter assemblies.

Willdan has also successfully supported large-scale water meter and AMI programs through a Section 4217 performance contracting procurement process, including the City of Fresno’s 110,000 residential water meter and AMR installation program and the City of Woodland’s citywide meter replacement project. Our experience includes coordinating multiple installation crews, maintaining quality control across thousands of residential and commercial locations, and ensuring compliance with agency specifications while minimizing impacts to customers.

Turn-Key AMI Delivery and Billing Integration. Willdan has recent, directly applicable experience delivering complete water metering modernization on a turn-key, design-build basis — taking single-point responsibility from system design through installation, integration, and commissioning. For the Cities of Paramount and Fillmore, Willdan replaced each City’s entire meter population with ultrasonic meters on cellular AMI and deployed a combined platform that ingested the AMI head-end data, served a customer engagement portal, and transmitted consumption data into each City’s utility billing system (Eden in Paramount, Springbrook in Fillmore).

That last step — getting AMI reads to flow accurately and reconcile into the billing system — is where these programs live or die, and Willdan owned it end to end as the integrator. Having delivered the meter-to-cash chain as the design-builder, our team knows where AMI-to-billing integrations succeed and where they break down:
endpoint and meter-ID mapping, head-end-to-billing data flow, billing-determinant validation, and maintaining billing continuity through both a meter-technology change and a billing-system transition. That experience lets us anticipate integration risks early and hold the contractor, AMI vendor, and billing vendor to a defined datavalidation and commissioning standard.

Water Distribution System Projects. Willdan's expertise extends to water distribution pipeline construction that supports municipal utility operations. In addition to the standalone meter replacement projects mentioned above, Willdan has also provided construction management and or inspection services to public agencies on numerous water distribution pipelines, including over a dozen for the City of Downey, which include water main replacement and replacement of existing meters with AMI/AMR based water meters.

Representative Projects. Willdan's team expertise and experience are a well-suited match for the City’s project.

Our experience encompasses the full realm of services that could be involved in the City's project as highlighted in the following experience matrix.

These projects represent Willdan’s successful record in accomplishing similar work within budget.

*Project in preconstruction phase – scheduled to start in July 2026 Maintaining Cooperative Atmosphere and Attitude with Contractor. Willdan's construction management methodology emphasizes maintaining a cooperative atmosphere with contractors while serving as the owner's representative. Our approach integrates proven project management methodologies with tailored local strategies, ensuring efficiency, transparency, and public accountability. Throughout construction, our team will maintain a project-first philosophy with the contractor. When this is achieved, construction is easy, straight forward, and accomplished with a minimum of issues. When this collaborative atmosphere is established, it creates a fair environment for all, and project success is achieved. Most contractors will avoid combative arguments and approach projects with a collaborative, team mindset when they know they will be treated fairly, in turn, leading to open, transparent communication, and often less change orders.

Property Owner Coordination and Public Communication. Water service interruptions are among the most sensitive aspects of a water meter replacement project. Temporary shutdowns and service interruptions must be Docusign Envelope ID: 1363B391-5437-89AA-8325-74C7BC17D2ED

Construction Management Services for System Wide
AMI and Water Meter Installation
Second Line
7 carefully coordinated, communicated, and documented to minimize impacts to residents and businesses. Willdan will proactively coordinate with the Contractor, City staff, residents, businesses, and property owners to minimize impacts associated with planned water shutoffs. Prior to construction activities, our team will review, monitor, and support the City’s public outreach program, including notification letters, door hangers, and other project communications to verify that affected customers receive timely notice of upcoming work and anticipated service interruption durations. During construction, Willdan’s field staff will remain available to engage directly with property owners and occupants, respond to questions, and coordinate special accommodations when operational constraints exist, such as medical needs, business operations, irrigation systems, or other critical water-use requirements.

In addition to customer communication, Willdan recognizes that accurate documentation during meter replacement is essential to maintaining billing continuity and preventing account discrepancies. Our inspectors will monitor the Contractor’s meter replacement documentation process to verify that existing meter serial numbers, final meter readings, service addresses, customer account information, new meter serial numbers, and AMI endpoint identifiers are accurately recorded and reconciled for each installation. We will review completed meter replacement forms for completeness and consistency and verify that documentation is properly transmitted to the City and project stakeholders to support successful integration with the AMI platform and Tyler New World billing system. This process helps ensure that customer usage history, billing records, and account assignments remain accurate throughout the transition to the new AMI system.

Willdan will also monitor compliance with notification requirements, verify that additional notices are provided when schedules change or shutoffs are extended, and promptly communicate emerging issues to City staff.

Through proactive communication, detailed documentation oversight, and responsive issue resolution, Willdan will help minimize customer inconvenience while supporting accurate billing records and efficient completion of meter replacement activities.

Timely Contract Close Out. Willdan understands that timely contract closeout is essential to achieving final project acceptance, releasing retention, and transitioning the AMI system into full operational use by the City. Throughout construction, our team will maintain organized project records, track outstanding items, monitor submittal and documentation requirements, and proactively identify closeout deliverables well before project completion. We will coordinate with the Contractor, AMI vendor, and City staff to verify completion of punch list items, resolution of deficiencies, acceptance of commissioning and integration activities, submission of as-builts, warranties, operation and maintenance information, testing records, and all required closeout documentation. Willdan will conduct substantial and final completion inspections, prepare and track punch lists, verify corrective actions, and provide recommendations regarding project acceptance. By managing closeout activities continuously throughout the project rather than waiting until construction is complete, Willdan helps avoid unnecessary delays and supports a smooth, efficient transition to final acceptance and project completion.

10 4.3. Methodology Section
Willdan’s project delivery methodology is built around proactive construction management, rigorous project controls, continuous communication, and comprehensive documentation. Our approach is designed to provide the City of Turlock with real-time visibility into project status while ensuring construction quality, schedule adherence, budget control, regulatory compliance, and successful implementation of the City’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system. Our objective is to protect the City’s interests while facilitating successful completion of approximately 4,293 meter replacements, implementation of the AMI system, and integration of meter data into the City’s billing platform within the established schedule and budget.

Implementation Plan
Willdan provides comprehensive construction management services fully aligned with the City’s RFP requirements, to modernize the City’s water metering infrastructure. § Pre-Construction. Prior to construction, Willdan will conduct a comprehensive review of the construction documents, contractor schedule, public outreach requirements, AMI implementation requirements, and project-specific risks. We will establish project controls, communication protocols, documentation procedures, and VPM workflows to ensure efficient management of RFIs, submittals, change orders, schedules, and project correspondence. We will lead the pre-construction meeting and coordinate with the Design Engineer, City staff, Contractor, and key stakeholders to establish clear expectations and responsibilities.
§ Pre-Construction and Progress Meeting Management. Willdan will prepare agendas, conduct meetings, and prepare and distribute meeting minutes for weekly progress meetings and bi-weekly progress meetings as required by the City. Virtual meeting capabilities will be provided through Cisco WebEx Teams, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom to conduct virtual meetings, allowing meeting attendees to share computer screens so that all attendees can review reference documents such as photos and plan sheets while working remotely from different locations. Willdan Engineering will provide tablets or laptops and mobile hot spot hardware to field staff to maintain communication with all parties.

Weekly coordination meetings and bi-weekly progress meetings will be conducted to review project status, installation production rates, schedule performance, outstanding RFIs, submittals, change orders, public outreach activities, AMI integration progress, and critical action items. Meeting minutes, action item logs, and project decisions will be documented and tracked through completion. § Public Outreach Monitoring. Willdan’s inspectors provide greater understanding of the City's cause to the general public, residents, and businesses. Typically, efforts begin by having the inspector visit the job site before construction starts, identifying key stakeholders in the project area, introducing themselves, and handing out business cards. Willdan Engineering is available to act as liaison between the City and community partners to further the goals of the project. § Construction Management and Administration. Experienced construction managers and resident engineers provide field oversight, manage contract documentation, process progress payments, and proactively facilitate the project activities to ensure compliance and clear communication. Willdan will utilize Virtual Project Manager (VPM) as the primary platform for project documentation, communication, and record management. Through VPM, our team will manage RFIs, submittals, working day statements, meeting minutes, daily reports, progress photos, change orders, and project correspondence. Utilizing our in-house Scheduler, we will continuously monitor project progress against the approved baseline schedule, evaluate schedule updates, identify potential delays, and work collaboratively with the Contractor to implement corrective actions when necessary.

Construction Management Services for System Wide
AMI and Water Meter Installation
Second Line
11 § Inspection and Quality Control. During construction, Willdan will provide full-time field observation services to verify that work is completed in accordance with the plans, specifications, manufacturer requirements, City standards, and approved submittals. Our inspectors will document daily activities, monitor contractor performance, verify temporary traffic and pedestrian controls, review public notification efforts, and coordinate closely with affected property owners during meter replacement activities and water shutoffs. Particular emphasis will be placed on maintaining accurate installation records, documenting existing and replacement meter information, verifying meter testing and functionality, and ensuring that customer account data is accurately transferred to support uninterrupted billing operations.
§ Erosion Control Review and Compliance. Willdan's inspectors are fully knowledgeable in the latest regulations for storm water abatement and QSP/QSD training. The construction managers and inspectors have the authority and capability to quickly identify any flaws in the contractor's erosion control plans and meet with the contractor to rectify the issue with agreed-upon solutions that meet standards while avoiding delays.
§ Specialty Testing. While the material testing needs on this type of project are very minimal, Willdan and Sierra Geotech will work collaboratively to provide responsive, high-quality materials testing and quality assurance services throughout construction as the needs arise. Sierra Geotech will perform the day-to-day field and laboratory testing activities and Willdan will provide technical oversight through Supervising Engineer Manuel Guzman, PE, one of Willdan's technical leads for geotechnical engineering and materials testing services, providing the City with an additional layer of technical review and quality assurance beyond standard testing services. This integrated approach provides the City with the responsiveness of a local accredited laboratory, combined with the technical expertise, engineering judgment, and quality assurance oversight of Willdan's geotechnical and construction management professionals. § Coordination. Willdan will serve as the City’s single coordination point across the installation contractor, AMI vendor, billing system vendor, and City staff regarding the integration of new meter and AMI data into the City’s billing system. To keep that coordination disciplined, Willdan will establish and maintain a coordination tracker that maps the interfaces and data hand-offs along the full path — meter → endpoint → head-end → billing → reports — so responsibilities, dependencies, and open items stay clear and nothing falls between vendors.
§ Integration Testing, Commissioning, and Data Validation. Willdan will review the AMI vendors’ integration testing, commissioning, and data-validation activities — including phased testing (system integration, user acceptance, and field testing) and validation of AMI reads against field reads and prior consumption history — and provide recommendations to the City before it accepts data into production billing. Because Willdan has performed AMI-to-billing integration as the design-builder, these reviews go beyond confirming that tests were run to assessing whether the right things were tested and whether results actually demonstrate billing-ready data. We have established relationships with vendors who specialize in AMI billing integration and can assist our team with the City’s project. As part of inspection, Willdan will also perform installationlevel quality assurance — verifying meter number, read accuracy, and installation correctness — so installation defects are caught before they affect billing. § Business Process Evaluation. Willdan will assist the City in evaluating its existing meter-to-cash and customer service business processes and identifying the process updates needed to incorporate AMI data and functionality — for example, exception-based billing, leak and continuous-consumption alerts, and streamlined high-bill investigation and move-in/move-out workflows. § Monitoring and Reporting. Willdan will monitor the status of integration activities and report issues, risks, and coordination needs to the City on a regular cadence, maintaining an issues-and-risk log with defined escalation paths so dependencies are surfaced and resolved before they affect schedule or billing accuracy. § Project Closeout. At project closeout, Willdan will conduct substantial and final completion inspections, prepare and track punch list items, verify completion of commissioning and integration activities, review Docusign Envelope ID: 1363B391-5437-89AA-8325-74C7BC17D2ED

By maintaining rigorous oversight from pre-construction through final acceptance, Willdan will help ensure the City receives a high-quality, fully functional AMI system delivered safely, efficiently, and in accordance with the project requirements.

Achieving Client Satisfaction and Scope of Work Requirements Willdan’s primary objective is to serve as a trusted extension of City staff throughout the delivery of the System Wide AMI and Water Meter Installation – Phase 1 Project. Our approach is centered on proactive communication, responsive project management, comprehensive field oversight, and disciplined project controls that provide the City with confidence that construction activities, AMI implementation, and system integration are progressing safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project requirements.

Client satisfaction begins with communication and accountability. Willdan will designate a single point of contact responsible for coordinating all construction management activities and maintaining consistent communication with City staff. Our team will provide timely responses to City requests, maintain open communication channels with project stakeholders, and promptly elevate issues requiring City input or decision-making. Regular progress meetings, status updates, schedule reviews, and project reporting will ensure that City staff remain informed regarding project progress, budget status, potential risks, public concerns, and upcoming activities.

To satisfy the requirements of the Scope of Work, Willdan will provide full-time field inspection and construction management services throughout the duration of the project. Our inspectors will document daily construction activities, monitor contractor compliance with the plans and specifications, verify traffic and pedestrian controls, review public notification efforts, observe meter installation and testing activities, and maintain complete project records. Construction activities will be documented through daily reports, photographs, quantity tracking, and inspection logs maintained within the City’s Virtual Project Manager (VPM) platform.

Because the project involves replacement of approximately 4,293 water meters and implementation of a new AMI system, Willdan will place particular emphasis on quality assurance, documentation accuracy, and system integration. Our team will monitor the Contractor’s meter replacement documentation process to verify that existing meter serial numbers, final meter readings, service addresses, new meter serial numbers, and endpoint identifiers are accurately recorded and reconciled. We will review installation records, monitor meter testing and endpoint activation activities, and coordinate with the Contractor, AMI vendor, Tyler Technologies representatives, Design Engineer, and City staff to support successful commissioning and integration of the new AMI system.

Willdan will utilize Virtual Project Manager (VPM) as the primary project management platform for RFIs, submittals, daily reports, meeting minutes, working day statements, change orders, payment reviews, and project correspondence. Our familiarity with VPM allows us to provide the City with transparent, real-time access to project information while maintaining complete and organized project records.

To protect the City’s schedule and budget, Willdan will continuously monitor contractor performance, review baseline and updated schedules, evaluate potential delays, verify quantities, review payment applications, and assess change order requests. Our proactive management approach helps reduce claims, avoid unnecessary delays, and minimize impacts to project costs.

Willdan will also provide labor compliance monitoring services with in-house staff, including review of certified payroll submissions, spot-checking prevailing wage compliance, maintaining labor compliance records, and notifying the Contractor of any identified deficiencies. These efforts help ensure compliance with applicable labor regulations and protect the City from potential regulatory issues.

Throughout construction, our team will support the City’s commitment to customer service by monitoring public outreach efforts, coordinating with property owners affected by water shutoffs, responding to stakeholder concerns, and helping minimize impacts to residents and businesses. Our inspectors understand that successful project delivery requires not only quality construction but also positive interactions with the public.

Experience with Internet Based Construction
Management Systems: Virtual Project Manager
Willdan’s in-house construction management software directly aligns with the City’s specified software. Willdan has had an account with Virtual Project Manager since 2022 and we utilize the software for all of the CIP projects which we manage or inspect, unless our clients requests that an alternative software be utilized. Willdan currently uses VPM on more than 50 active projects and has completed more than 150 projects utilizing the platform. Having used the software for over 200 projects, we are very familiar and experienced with all portals within VPM, including daily logs, documents, RFIs, submittals, payments, change orders, transmittals, utility, and punch list. In fact, Virtual Project Manager recently named Willdan it’s customer of the month on LinkedIn.

Innovative and Creative Approaches
Willdan will apply practical, proven tools and procedures to maximize efficiency, control costs, maintain schedule, and improve project performance.

Additional Capabilities
Willdan can bring specialized AMI advisory capabilities through its consulting partners — including formal business-process re-engineering (current- to future-state design with post-go-live process audits), AMI datamanagement governance and staff coaching, and a water loss monitoring dashboard aligned to State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) water loss reporting requirements. These can be scoped as added tasks if the City sees value.

AMI Data Validation and Billing Continuity Reviews
Willdan will implement a meter replacement reconciliation review process that includes verification of existing meter serial numbers, final meter readings, new meter serial numbers, endpoint identifiers, service addresses, and customer account information. Our team will periodically review installation records and exception reports to identify discrepancies before they impact customer billing or system integration activities.

Production Dashboard Tracking
Willdan will develop a production tracking dashboard utilizing information from contractor reports, VPM records, and field observations. The dashboard will track completed meter installations, remaining quantities, daily production rates, route completion status, rejected installations, punch list items, and AMI commissioning activities. This allows potential schedule concerns to be identified early and corrective action implemented before project milestones are impacted.

Early Closeout Program
Rather than waiting until the end of construction, Willdan will implement an Early Closeout Program that continuously tracks punch list items, warranty documentation, testing records, meter replacement forms, AMI commissioning records, and project documentation throughout construction. This approach reduces the likelihood of delays between substantial completion and final acceptance.

21 Turnkey Design-Build Solutions for Future Phases
Since this is Phase 1 of a multi-phase program, replacing just about 25% of the City’s total water meters, Willdan would like to make the City aware that there may be alternative ways to procure and fund future phases of this type of water meter replacement projects. California General Code Section 4217 allows public agencies to enter into Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) with an Energy Service Company (ESCO), which guarantees cost savings from efficiency improvements. Those guaranteed savings are used by a lender to underwrite leasepurchase financing, often structured to be cash-flow positive (self-funding). This setup essentially allows the public agency to reallocate CIP funds to other needs. Willdan has provided this type of turnkey design-built programs for numerous public agencies in California and would be happy to discuss the suitability and feasibility of this approach for future City projects.
