City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Mark Aumentado
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Construction Contract with J.D.M.L., Inc. dba Standard Industries for Pumping Plant Demolition and Site Improvements
Recommendation:

A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because the project consists of the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing facilities including the demolition and removal of individual small structures, and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use;
B. Accept the bid from J.D.M.L., Inc. dba Standard Industries (Standard Industries) as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reject all other bids; C. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Construction Contract with Standard Industries in substantially the same form as submitted, in an amount not-toexceed $397,613 for Pumping Plant Demolition and Site Improvements; and D. Authorize a contingency amount of $40,000 in the event of unforeseen changes in the project and grant authority to the City Administrator to issue Change Orders for an amount up to the contingency amount, if necessary.

Background:

Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) has recently completed a major rehabilitation at Well 20, located at 4755 District Boulevard. The property also sites two 500,000-gallon steel reservoirs and a pump house building. The reservoirs and pump house building are in disrepair and have become obsolete. They have not been in service for at least 30 years and have been disconnected from the potable water distribution system. Due to the lack of available space and the shape of the property, the City has not been able to utilize this space for anything other than its current capacity. In order to protect the recent investment into the property and prepare for future uses, VPU developed plans and specifications for the Pumping Plant Demolition and Site Improvements (Project). The scope includes demolishing the dilapidated structures, grading the property, and installing a more robust security perimeter fence system as this property backs onto the train tracks and has fallen victim to vandalism and theft in the recent past.

On June 2, 2022, the City Administrator authorized issuance of a Request for Bids (RFB) to seek bids from contractors for the Project. In accordance with Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.120, the RFB was posted on the City’s Planet Bids website and published in the local newspaper. Additionally, staff sent the RFB directly to five vendors. As a result of the outreach efforts, five bids were received and opened on the June 28, 2022 bid deadline. The calculated bid opening results are as follows:

1. J.D.M.L., Inc. dba Standard Industries $397,613

2. MCM Construction, Inc. $498,243

3. VICON Enterprises, Inc. $499,200

4. American Integrated Services, Inc. $457,100*

5. Canyon Springs Enterprises $485,000*
Each bid was examined by a panel in which an evaluation of each bid was made based on cost and references.
*The bids received from American Integrated Services, Inc. and Canyon Springs Enterprises were deemed nonresponsive due to representatives not attending the mandatory pre-bid meeting held on June 15, 2022.

After further evaluation of the bid from J.D.M.L., Inc. dba Standard Industries (Standard Industries), their bid was deemed the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the Project.

Staff recommends City Council award the proposed construction contract with Standard Industries in the amount of $397,613; recommends a contingency amount of $40,000 in the event of unexpected changes in Project Conditions or to accommodate additional required work, for a potential total cost not to exceed $437,613. Given the magnitude, scope and complexity of the Project, a contingency of ten percent (10%) of the total contract amount is within a typical range for the size and scope of the Project and will enable staff to authorize any necessary work to meet the Project objectives with minimal impact to the Project timeline.

The Project is included in the Water System Revenue Bonds, 2020 Series A and will be funded with bond proceeds.

The proposed construction contract has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funds for the construction contract are available in Water Fund Account No. 020.1084.900000.

If Work is suspended and an extension of time is granted under this Paragraph 3.05 the Contractor will be entitled to a one day extension of time for each day that he/she is unable to Work at least one-half of his/her current normal Work day; and if the Work is suspended at the regular starting time on any Work day and the Contractor's Workforce is dismissed as a result thereof, then he/she will be entitled to a one day extension of time whether or not conditions change thereafter and the major portion of the day is suitable for Work.

3.06 COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
A. Upon request by the Contractor, the Director shall conduct a final inspection of the Work. If, in the Director’s opinion, Final Completion has been achieved, the Director will accept the Work by issuing a “Notice of Completion” of the Work to the Contractor.

3.07 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
A. Contractor and City agree to liquidate damages in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per day, with respect to Contractor’s failure to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time. The Parties intend for the liquidated damages set forth herein to apply to this Contract as set forth in Government Code Section 53069.85. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the liquidated damages are intended to compensate City solely for the Contractor’s failure to meet the deadline for Substantial Completion and shall not excuse Contractor from liability from any other breach, including any failure of the Work to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents.

B. In the event that Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time, Contractor agrees to pay City the amount specified in the Contract form for each calendar day that Substantial Completion is delayed.

C. Contractor and City acknowledge and agree that the foregoing liquidated damages have been set based on an evaluation of damages that the City will incur in the event of late completion of the Work.

Contractor and City acknowledge and agree that the amount of such damages are impossible to ascertain as of the effective date hereof and have agreed to such liquidated damages to fix City’s damages and to avoid later disputes. It is understood and agreed by Contractor that liquidated damages payable pursuant to this Agreement are not a penalty and that such amount are not manifestly unreasonable under the circumstances existing as of the effective date of this Agreement.

D. It is further mutually agreed that City shall have the right to deduct liquidated damages against progress payments or retainage and that the City will issue a Construction Change Directive and reduce the Contract Sum accordingly. In the event the remaining unpaid Contract Sum is insufficient to cover the full amount of liquidated damages. Contractor shall pay the difference to City. [END OF ARTICLE]

ARTICLE 4 - CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES

4.01 BASELINE PROJECT SCHEDULE
The Contractor shall submit his/her work Baseline Project Schedule, in electronic as well as hard-copy format, to the Director at the pre-construction meeting showing in detail how the Contractor plans to execute and coordinate the Work. The construction schedule shall show the sequence of work, critical path and estimated time for completion of each segment of work. This schedule must be reviewed and accepted by the Director before the Contractor will be permitted to begin work. In addition, the Contractor shall submit a detailed schedule forecasting two (2) weeks of work describing each day’s work. This schedule shall be updated and submitted to the City every other Monday during the construction period. The Contractor shall give 48 hours notice to the City Engineer prior to the start of the work.

A. Format

1. At a minimum, the Baseline Project Schedule activities shall be coded on a work discipline basis and by geographic area or location on the Project. The Baseline Project Schedule shall include a detailed description of each activity code. The Baseline Project Schedule shall be based on and incorporate contract milestone and completion dates specified in the Contract Documents. It shall depict events, jobs, and their interrelationships and shall recognize the progress that must be made on one task before subsequent tasks can begin. The schedule shall be comprehensive and shall include all logical interdependencies and interactions required to perform the Work of the Project.

2. Overall time of completion and time of completion for each milestone shown on the Schedule shall adhere to the specified Contract Time, unless an earlier (advanced) time of completion is requested by Contractor, agreed to by the City and formalized by Change Order.

3. Contractor shall use the latest version of Microsoft Project or equivalent software agreed to by the parties.

4. The City will review the submitted Baseline Project Schedule for conformance with these scheduling requirements. Within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt, the City will accept the proposed Baseline Project Schedule or will return it with comments. If the proposed Baseline Project Schedule is accepted by the City, it shall be deemed part of the Contract Documents. If the Baseline Project Schedule is not accepted by City, Contractor shall revise the Baseline Project Schedule, in accordance with the recommendations of the City, and re-submit same for acceptance, no later than seven (7) calendar days after receipt of said recommendation.

5. Acceptance of Baseline Project Schedule by City, failure to include an element of work, or inaccuracy in Baseline Project Schedule shall not relieve Contractor from the responsibility for accomplishing the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

B. Float

1. Critical Work activities are defined as Work activities which, if delayed or extended, will delay the scheduled completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. All other Work activities are defined as non-critical Work activities and are considered to have float. Float is defined as the time that a non-critical Work activity can be delayed or extended without delaying the scheduled completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. Float is considered a Project resource available to either party or both parties as needed. Once identified, Contractor shall monitor, account for, and maintain float in accordance with Critical Path Methodology.

Page 36 of 121 ends

2. Delays of any non-critical Work shall not be the basis for an extension of Contract Time until the delays consume all float associated with that non-critical Work activity and cause the Work activity to become critical.

3. It is acknowledged that City-caused time savings (i.e., critical path submittal reviews returned in less time than allowed by the Contract Documents, approval of substitution requests which result in a savings of time for Contractor, etc.) create shared float. Accordingly, City-caused delays may be offset by City-caused time savings.

C. Weather (This section applies only to projects of one (1) year duration or longer) The completion time contemplated by this Contract anticipates no lost days (Work Days) due to normal weather conditions annually and prorated for any duration less than twelve months. Only unusual or extreme weather conditions, as determined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for the time of year will be considered as justification for an extension of time to complete the Project, and only after the zero weather days have been utilized. Annual weather days are not cumulative, and unused days shall become “float” for the benefit of the project, and the schedule adjusted accordingly.

The use of weather days by the Contractor shall be subject to all the conditions of claim for an extension of time. The Contractor shall notify the City in writing within ten (10) days of the commencement of each rain event.

D. Early Completion
While the Contractor may schedule completion of the Project earlier than the date established by the Contract Documents, no additional compensation shall become due the Contractor for the use of float time between the Contractor’s projected early completion date and the date for Substantial Completion established by the Contract Documents, unless an earlier (advanced) time of completion is requested by Contractor, agreed to by the City, and formalized by Change Order.

4.02 SCHEDULE UPDATES
A. With each Application for Payment submitted by Contractor (other than the final Application for Payment), the Contractor shall submit to the City an updated Project Schedule revised to indicate the Work completed, status of Work in progress, all progress slippages, corrective actions taken, or slippage carry-over, for all anticipated delays or difficulties, and all other information required to accurately present the actual status of the progress of the Work as of the date of the Application for Payment. If the Contractor does not submit an updated Project Schedule with an Application for Payment, City may withhold payment, in whole or in part, until the updated Project Schedule is submitted. In the event that an update to the Project Schedule indicates a delay to the Contract Time the Contractor shall propose an affirmative plan to correct each such delay, including overtime and/or additional labor, if necessary. In no event shall any Project Schedule update constitute an adjustment in the Contract Time, any deadline, or the Contract Sum unless any such adjustment is agreed to by the City and authorized pursuant to Change Order or Work Directive.

B. At no time shall historical data contained within the updated Project Schedule (i.e. completed activities) be removed and/or altered in any way. This historical data is to be preserved within each of the updated Project Schedules and submitted with the final schedule update to reflect the actual start and finish dates for each activity within the Schedule.

C. Any work stoppages within individual work activities that exceed seven (7) calendar days in duration shall be clearly indicated within the updated Project Schedule. In cases where unplanned activity work

Page 37 of 121 ends

stoppages exceed seven (7) calendar days activities shall be added to the Project Schedule to clearly indicate the work stoppage period and identify forecasted resumption and completion of the activity where work has stopped. Contractor shall clearly note all schedule revisions when Project Schedule updates are submitted, as required in this Paragraph 4.02 above.

4.03 NONCOMPENSABLE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES
A. Should the City determine, in its sole judgment, that the performance of the Work has not progressed to the level of completion required by the Contract Documents, City shall have the right to order the Contractor to take corrective measures to expedite the progress of construction, at no additional cost to the City, including, without limitation, the following:

1. Working additional shifts of overtime.

2. Supplying additional manpower, equipment, and/or facilities.

3. Reschedule activities to maximize practical concurrence of accomplishment of activities.

4. Submitting a Recovery Schedule discussed above, for resequencing performance of the Work or other similar measures.

5. Any other actions that may be necessary to mitigate delays.

B. Such Extraordinary Measures shall continue until the progress of the Work is no longer behind schedule and/or reaches the stage of completion required by the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Sum in connection with the performance of any such Extraordinary Measures required by the City under this Paragraph. The City may exercise the rights furnished the City pursuant to this Paragraph as frequently as the City deems necessary to ensure that the Contractor’s performance of the Work will comply with the Contract Time or interim completion dates set forth in the Contract Documents. If Contractor or its Subcontractors fail to implement or commence Extraordinary Measures within ten (10) calendar days of City’s written demand, City may, without prejudice to other remedies, take corrective action at the expense of the Contractor which shall reduce the Contract Sum accordingly.

4.04 CONDITION OF PAYMENT
Compliance by Contractor with the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to preparation, submission, revising and updating of the Schedule is a condition precedent to City’s obligation to make payment to Contractor of any or all sums that might otherwise be due to Contractor in the absence of such noncompliance.

Payment by City under circumstances in which City, for any reason, fails or elects not to assert its right to withhold payment for noncompliance with this Paragraph shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to withhold future payments on account of such noncompliance or any other noncompliance.

1. The Work is stopped for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, due to:
a. the issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction; or b. an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency making material unavailable;

2. The Work is stopped for a period of 120 consecutive days through no act or fault of Contractor, any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, because the City has persistently failed to perform any material obligation under the Contract Documents and fails to cure such default within ninety (90) days after the receipt of notice from Contractor stating the nature of such default.

10. Contractor becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors and fails to provide City with adequate assurances of Contractor’s ability to satisfy its contractual obligations.

A receiver, trustee, or other judicial officer shall not have any right, title, or interest in or to the Contract.

Upon that person’s appointment, City has, at its option and sole discretion, the right to immediately cancel the Contract and declare it null and void.

B. City’s Rights.

When any of the reasons specified in Paragraph 5.02-A exist, the City may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the City, and after giving the Contractor five (5) calendar days written notice, terminate Contractor’s performance of the Work, in whole or in part, and may:

for cause, then said termination shall be deemed converted to a termination for convenience as set forth in Paragraph 5.04 and Contractor’s remedy for wrongful termination in such event shall be limited to the recovery of the payments permitted for termination for convenience as set forth in Paragraph

5.04. 5.03 PARTIAL DELETION OR SUSPENSION OF WORK BY THE CITY A. Contractor agrees that the City may determine whether any or all of the Work described in the Contract Documents shall be deleted or performance suspended without electing to terminate the Contractor’s performance under the Contract and without any penalty being incurred by the City.

B. Any such partial deletion or suspension of the Work shall in no way void or invalidate the Contract nor shall it provide Contractor with any basis for seeking payment from City for Work deleted or suspended except to the extent such Work has already been performed and is otherwise compensable under the Contract.

C. The City shall have the right to later have any such suspended or deleted Work performed by Contractor or others without any penalty to the City.

2. Upon receipt of a Work Suspension Directive, Contractor shall, at the City’s expense, comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize costs allocable to the Work covered by the Work Suspension Directive during the period of Work stoppage.

3. Within the period of suspension, or such extension to that period as is agreed upon by Contractor and the City, the City shall either cancel the Work Suspension Directive or delete the Work covered by such Work Suspension Directive by issuing a Change Order or Construction Change Directive.

4. If a Work Suspension Directive is cancelled or expires, Contractor shall continue the Work. A Change Order or Construction Change Directive will be issued to cover any adjustments of the Contract Sum and Contract Time necessarily caused by such suspension. No adjustment shall be made to the extent:
(a) That performance is, was, or would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by another cause for which the Contractor is responsible; or (b) That an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the Contract.

F. Suspensions for Cause
City has the authority by written order to suspend the Work, in whole or in part, without liability to City

Responsibilities of Contractor During Suspension Periods During periods that Work is suspended, Contractor shall continue to be responsible for the Work and shall prevent damage or injury to the Project, provide for drainage, and shall erect necessary temporary structures, signs or other facilities required to maintain the Project and continue to perform according to the Contract Documents.

5.04 TERMINATION BY THE CITY FOR CONVENIENCE
A. Grounds
Without limiting any rights which City may have by reason of any default by Contractor hereunder, City may terminate Contractor’s performance of the Contract, in whole or in part, at any time, for convenience upon fifteen (15) calendar days written notice to Contractor.

B. Contractor Actions
Upon receipt of such notice, Contractor shall perform the duties required by Paragraph 5.05 below.

At the election of and as directed by the City, any or all of the subcontracts and purchase orders entered in to by Contractor prior to the effective date of termination shall be terminated or shall be assigned to City.

Upon receipt of such payment, the Contractor and City shall have no further obligations to each other except for Contractor’s obligations with respect to warranties, representations, indemnity, maintenance of insurance, and other obligations that survive termination or Final Completion as provided for herein.

3. It is understood and agreed that no fee, anticipated profit, compensation for lost opportunity costs, or other compensation or payment of any kind or character shall be due or payable for unperformed Work regardless of the basis of termination and the inclusion of this provision within this subparagraph shall in no way limit its application to termination under this Paragraph.

4. Contractor agrees that each of its subcontracts will reserve for the Contractor the same right of termination for convenience provided by this Paragraph 5.04.

D. No Consequential Damages
Under no circumstances shall Contractor be entitled to anticipatory or unearned profits or consequential or other damages as a result of a termination or partial termination under this Article 5. The payment to Contractor determined in accordance with this Article constitutes Contractor’s exclusive remedy for a termination hereunder.

ARTICLE 6 – CHANGES

6.01 CITY'S RIGHT TO ORDER CHANGES
The City, without invalidating the Contract, may authorize changes in the Work consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions, with the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly, if necessary. All such changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order or Construction Change Directive and Contractor shall perform such changes in the Work according to the applicable requirements of the Contract Documents.

6.02 APPLICABLE PROVISIONS
Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall proceed promptly and diligently with the change, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or Construction Change Directive. It is of the essence to this Contract that all scope changes in the Work that form the basis of an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time must be authorized in advance in writing through either a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. A change in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time shall be accomplished only by Change Order or Construction Change Directive.

Accordingly, no verbal directions, course of conduct or dealings between the Parties, express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work, or claim that the Contract has been abandoned or the City has been unjustly enriched by any alteration or addition to the Work shall be the basis of any claim for an increase in any amounts due under the Contract Documents or a change in any time period provided in the Contract Documents.

6.03 NOTICE OF SCOPE CHANGE
Contractor shall submit written notice of any change in scope to the Director if, in the Contractor’s opinion, any instruction, request, Drawings, Specifications, action, condition, omission, default, or other situation occurs that the Contractor believes constitutes a scope change or other matter resulting in Extra Work, for which Contractor believes it is entitled to an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Such notice shall be provided prior to performance of the Work affected by such occurrence and within seven (7) calendar days after the discovery date of the circumstances of such scope change or other matters. The written notice shall state the date, circumstances, extent of adjustment to the Contact Sum or the Contract Time, if any, requested. The mere presentation of such notice shall not establish the existence of any right by Contractor to adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Failure to provide such timely written notice described herein shall constitute a waiver by Contractor of the right to any adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract Time on account thereof.

6.04 CHANGE ORDERS
A. Computation
Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum by Change Order may include those listed in Paragraph 6.06 below.

B. Accord and Satisfaction
Agreement on any Change Order shall be a full compromise and settlement of all adjustments to Contract Time and Contract Sum, and compensation for any and all delay, extended or additional field and home office overhead, disruption, acceleration, inefficiencies, lost labor or equipment productivity, differing Site conditions, construction interferences and other extraordinary or

Page 44 of 121 ends

consequential damages (hereinafter called "Impacts"), including any ripple or cumulative effects of said Impacts on the overall Work under the Contract arising directly or indirectly from the performance of Work described in the Change Order. By execution of any Change Order, Contractor agrees that the Change Order constitutes a complete accord and satisfaction with respect to all claims for schedule extension, Impacts, or any costs of whatever nature, character or kind arising out of or incidental to the Change Order. No action, conduct, omission, product failure or course of dealing by the City shall act to waive, modify, change, or alter the requirement that (i) Change Order's must be in writing, signed by the City and Contractor and; (ii) that such written Change Orders are the exclusive method for effectuating any change to the Contract Sum and/or Contract Time.

6.05 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVE (FIELD DIRECTIVE)
A. A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order. The City may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletion, or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly.

B. If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be calculated in accordance with Paragraph 6.06 herein (Pricing Changes in the Work).

C. Upon receipt of the Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the City of the Contractor’s agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive, for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.

D. If Contractor believes a Construction Change Directive constitutes a basis for adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract Time, then Contractor shall give a Notice of Scope Change provided in Paragraph 6.03, followed by a submission of a Change Order Request as required by Paragraph

6.08. Contractor shall, if requested by City in such Construction Change Directive or in a subsequent Construction Change Directive, proceed with the performance of the Work as described in the Construction Change Directive. Failure of Contractor to proceed with the performance of Work, as described in the Construction Change Directive shall give the City the right to carry out the Work, as set forth in Paragraph 2.05.

E. A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor’s agreement therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.

F. If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the City on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in the case of an increase in the Contract Sum, Allowable Mark-Ups in accordance with Paragraph 6.06(E) herein.

6.06 PRICING CHANGES IN THE WORK
A. Alternative Methods of Pricing
The amount of any adjustment by Change Order or Construction Change Directive increasing or decreasing the Contract Sum shall be determined by the Director using one or a combination of the following methods:

Page 45 of 121 ends

1. Lump Sum. By mutual acceptance of a lump sum proposal from Contractor properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation. Such proposal shall be based solely on Allowable Costs, as defined in Subparagraph 6.06-C, and Allowable Mark-Ups, as defined in Subparagraph 6.06-E, and shall not include any costs or expense that is not permitted by the terms of any provision of the Contract Documents.

2. Unit Prices. By unit prices contained in Contractor’s original Bid and incorporated in the Contract Documents or fixed by subsequent agreement between City and Contractor. Unless otherwise stated in the Bidding Documents, unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or agreed upon by the County and Contractor shall be deemed to include and encompass all Allowable Markups.

3. Time and Materials. By calculating the actual Allowable Costs directly incurred, plus a sum for Allowable Mark-Ups on such Allowable Costs.

4. Deletion of Work. By Unit Prices contained in Contractor’s original Bid and incorporated in the Contract Documents, or by using the Schedule of Values to determine the value of the decrease of the Contract Sum, less the value of any Work performed, plus a reasonable percentage of the decrease for the Contractor’s saved overhead unless the Schedule of Values allocates general conditions costs to individual line items, in which case no percentage of the decrease shall be added. When a change consists of both addition and deletion of Work, the added costs and deleted costs shall be calculated separately, and then added together, resulting in the net cost for the change. The Allowable Mark-Up shall be applied to this net cost.

B. Contractor Maintenance of Daily Records for Changes

1. In the event that Contractor is directed to perform any Extra Work, or should Contractor encounter conditions which the Contractor believes would obligate the City to adjust the Contract Sum and/or the Contract Time, Contractor shall maintain detailed records of the cost of such changes on a daily basis summarized in a daily report supplemented by back-up records. Such records shall include without limitation:
a. Labor. At the close of each day on which such Extra Work is performed, Contractor shall submit an Extra Work labor report, on forms provided by Director, to Director that sets forth a list of the actual hours spent in performing the Extra Work, that clearly differentiates between the labor expended on the Extra Work and other Work, and the Allowable Costs for such Extra Work performed that day showing the names of workers, their classifications, hours worked and hourly rates. b. Materials, Equipment. A list of Allowable Costs of materials and equipment consumed in the performance of the Extra Work on the day on which such Extra Work is performed, together with copies of applicable delivery tickets and unit prices for all materials and for all equipment used the type of equipment, identification number, hours of operation (including loading and transportation) and hourly/daily rates involved for that day.
c. Other Services or Expenditures. A list of other services and expenditures constituting Allowable Costs incurred in performance of the Extra Work on the day on which such Extra Work is performed, along with documentation verifying the amounts thereof in such detail as Director may require.

Page 46 of 121 ends

2. In the event that more than one change to the Work is performed by the Contractor in a calendar day, Contractor shall maintain separate records of labor, construction equipment, materials, and equipment for each such change. In the event that any Subcontractor of any tier shall provide or perform any portion of any change to the Work, Contractor shall require that each such Subcontractor maintain records in accordance with this Section.

3. Each daily record maintained hereunder shall be signed by Contractor; such signature shall be deemed Contractor’s representation and warranty that all information contained therein is true, accurate, complete, and relates only to the change referenced therein. All records maintained by Subcontractors of any tier, relating to the costs of a change in the Work shall be signed by such Subcontractor’s authorized project manager or superintendent.

All such records shall be forwarded to the Director on the day the Work is performed (same day) for independent verification. The Director shall attempt to review and reconcile costs for changes on a daily basis. Records not available on the day on which the Extra Work is performed, such as, but not limited to, material invoices, shall be submitted as soon as they are available but not later than five (5) calendar days after the earlier of the day of delivery or incorporation of the particular item of Extra Work at the Site.

4. The Director may additionally require authentication of all time and material tickets and invoices by persons designated by the Director for such purpose. In the event that Contractor shall fail or refuse, for any reason, to maintain or make available for inspection, review, and/or reproduction such records, adjustments to the Contract Sum or Contract Time, if any, on account of any change to the Work may be deemed waived for that day. Contractor’s obligation to maintain back-up records hereunder is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other Contractor obligation under the Contract Documents with respect to changes to the Work.

5. Waiver by Contractor. Failure to submit such records as are required by this Paragraph daily shall waive any rights for recovery of Allowable Costs incurred for Extra Work performed that day. The failure of the Contractor to secure any required authentication shall, if the City elects in its sole discretion to treat it as such, constitute a waiver by the Contractor of any right to adjustment of the Contract Sum for the Allowable Cost of all or that portion of the Extra Work covered by such non-authenticated ticket or invoice.

C. Allowable Costs
The term “Allowable Costs” shall mean in the case of Extra Work actual costs incurred by Contractor and/or any Subcontractor, regardless of tier, and necessarily involved in direct performance of the Extra Work, or in the case of deleted work the actual costs that would have been incurred in performing deleted work by Contractor and/or any Subcontractor, regardless of tier, and shall be limited to the following costs:

1. Labor. Straight-time wages or salaries, and overtime wages and salaries specifically authorized by City in writing, for employees employed at the site, or at fabrication sites off the site, in the direct performance of the Extra Work or that would have been incurred in the direct performance of the deleted work, based on the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of workers at the time the Extra Work is done or the deleted work is ordered eliminated. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental. The use of labor classification which would increase the Allowable Cost for Extra Work will not be permitted unless Contractor establishes the necessity for such additional costs.

Page 47 of 121 ends

2. Benefits. Payroll taxes, insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds and benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements for employees on straight-time wages or salaries, and on overtime wages and salaries specifically authorized by City in writing, for employees employed at the site, or at fabrication sites off the site, in the direct performance of the Extra Work or that would have been incurred in the direct performance of the deleted work.

3. Materials, Consumables. Costs of materials and consumable items which are furnished and incorporated into the Work, as approved by City, or that would have been incorporated into the Work in the case of deleted work shall be at the lowest price available to Contractor but in no event shall such costs exceed competitive wholesale prices obtainable from other Subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers and distributors in the general vicinity of the site. If City determines, in its discretion, that the cost of materials is excessive, or if Contractor fails to furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost from the actual supplier thereof, then in either case the cost of the materials shall be deemed to be the lowest wholesale price at which similar materials are available in the quantities required at the time they were needed. The City reserves the right to furnish such materials as it deems advisable, and Contractor shall have no claim for costs or profits on materials so furnished. Material invoices must be included with the extra work report to obtain payment.

4. Taxes. Sales taxes on the costs of materials and consumable items described in Paragraph

5.04-C.3 above.

5. Tool, Equipment Rental. Rental charges for necessary machinery and equipment, whether owned or hired, as authorized in writing by City, exclusive of hand tools, used directly in the performance of the Extra Work or that would have been used in the direct performance of the deleted work. Regardless of ownership, such rental charges shall not exceed the hourly rate derived from the most recently published “Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment” or the “Rental Rate Blue Book for Older Construction Equipment,” as published by K-111, San Jose, California, which is in effect at the time of commencement of the changed work. The Contractor shall attach a copy of the rate schedule to the daily reports required by Paragraph

6.06-B, above. The charges for any machinery and equipment shall cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the Extra Work or deleted work. No charge shall be allowed for use of equipment or tools which have a replacement value of $500 or less. The allowable rental rates shall include the cost of fuel, power oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, loading, transportation, repairs and maintenance of any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 6.06-E below, no mark-up shall be allowed for overhead, profit or bond premiums for use of equipment if the equipment is supplied by an equipment rental firm. If equipment is used intermittently and, when not in use, could be returned to its rental source at less expense to City than holding it at the Site, it shall be returned, unless Contractor elects to keep it at the Site at no expense to City.

Costs incurred while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns, regular maintenance, or for non-Working Days shall not be allowed. The rental time shall include the time required to move the equipment to the Work from the nearest available source for rental of such equipment and to return it to the source. If such equipment is not moved by its own power, then loading and transportation will be allowed. Neither moving time nor loading and transportation costs will be paid if the equipment is for use on the Project unrelated to the Extra Work. All equipment shall be acceptable to City, in good working condition, and suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used.

11. Losses of efficiency or productivity; and

12. Costs and expenses of any kind or item not specifically and expressly included in Paragraph

6.06-C.

E. Allowable Mark-Up

1. If the Net Cost of Extra Work is less than or equal to $25,000, the Allowable Mark-Up shall be computed as follows:
(a) For Extra Work performed directly by the Contractor’s forces, the added cost for all expenses of overhead, profit, bond and insurance (“Allowable Mark-Up”) shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the net cost of the Extra Work.
(b) For Extra Work performed by a Subcontractor, the added cost of combined expenses, Allowable Mark-Up for Contractor and all Subcontractor(s) shall not exceed twenty (20%) of the net cost of all Subcontractor(s)’s Extra Work.

Page 49 of 121 ends

2. If the net cost of Extra Work is greater than $25,000 and less than or equal to $100,000, the Allowable Mark-up shall be computed as follows:
(a) For Extra Work performed directly by the Contractor’s forces the added cost for Allowable Mark-Up shall not exceed twelve (12%) of the net cost of the Extra Work. (b) For Extra Work performed by a Subcontractor, the added cost of combined expenses for Allowable Mark-Up for Contractor and all Subcontractor(s) shall not exceed seventeen (17%) of the net cost of all Subcontractor(s)’s Extra Work.

3. If the net cost of Extra Work is greater than $100,000, the Allowable Mark-up shall be computed as follows:
(a) For Extra Work performed directly by the Contractor’s forces the added cost for Allowable Mark-Up shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the net cost of the Extra Work. (b) For Extra Work performed by a Subcontractor, the added cost of combined expenses for Allowable Mark-Up for Contractor and all Subcontractor(s) shall not exceed fifteen (15%) of the net cost of all Subcontractor(s)’s Extra Work.

F. Net Allowable Costs
If anyone scope change involves both Extra Work and deleted work in the same portion of the Work and the additive allowable costs exceed the deductive allowable costs, the Allowable Markups on the Extra Work will be only the difference between the two amounts.

6.07 CITY ORIGINATED REQUEST FOR ITEMIZED CHANGE ORDER PROPOSAL REQUEST City may issue a Construction Change Directive or other written request to Contractor describing a proposed change to the Work and requesting the Contractor submit an itemized change order proposal in a format acceptable to City within ten (10) calendar days after City issues the request. The Contractor's change order proposal shall include an analysis of impacts to cost and time, if any, to perform additional work, change Work or delete Work, as applicable, including the effects and impacts, if any, on unchanged Work, estimates of costs (broken down by the cost categories listed in this Paragraph), and Contractor's proposed methods to minimize costs, delay, and disruption to the performance of the Work. If Contractor fails to submit a written change order proposal within such period of time, it shall be presumed that the change described in the City's original proposal request will not result in an increase to the Contract Sum or Contract Time and the change shall be performed by Contractor without additional compensation to Contractor. City's request for itemized change order proposal request does not authorize the Contractor to commence performance of the change.

If City desires that the proposed change be performed, the Work shall be authorized according to the Change Order or Construction Change Directive procedures set forth herein.

6.08 CONTRACTOR ORIGINATED CHANGE ORDER REQUEST (COR)
If the Contractor believes that instructions issued by the City after the effective date of the Contract will result in changes to the Contract Sum or Contract Time or if the Contractor otherwise becomes aware of the need for or desirability of a change in the Work, Contractor may submit a written Change Order Request ("COR") to the City in writing, in a format acceptable to City and in accordance with the notice provisions and other requirements of Article 7 below for Claims. The COR must specify the reasons for the proposed change, cost impacts and relevant circumstances and impacts on the Construction Schedule. The document shall be complete in its description of the Work, its material and labor quantities and detail, and must support and justify the costs and credits claimed by the Contractor. A Critical Path Method schedule Fragnet is required

Page 50 of 121 ends

to support and justify any additional time of performance requested by the Contractor. The City will not review any COR which is incomplete. The Contractor may request additional compensation and/or time through a COR but not for instances that occurred more than ten (10) calendar days prior to the notice date. Contractor's failure to initiate a COR within this ten-day period or to provide detailed back-up documentation to substantiate the COR within thirty (30) calendar days of the initial written notice shall be deemed a waiver of the right to adjustment of the Contract Sum or the Contract Time for the alleged change. Any COR that is approved by the City shall be incorporated in a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. If the COR is denied but the Contractor believes that it does have merit, the Contractor shall proceed with the disputed Work and may submit a Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

6.09 ISSUANCE OF WORK DIRECTIVE (UNILATERAL).

In the event of a dispute as to whether or not Extra Work is required, City shall have the right to unilaterally issue a Work Directive; Contractor shall continue performance of disputed Work pending resolution and shall maintain and submit to City all accounting and cost data necessary to substantiate Contractor’s cost of such disputed Work.
