CONTRACT

CITY OF VISALIA

STATE OF CALIFORNIA
This Contract for the construction of the FY 25-26 CAPE SEAL, is made between the City of Visalia, (hereinafter “The City”), and _______________________________________, (hereinafter referred to as Contractor) both parties having authority to enter into this Contract do agree to the following:

ARTICLE I - For and in consideration of the payments hereinafter mentioned to be made by the City, and under the conditions expressed in this Contract and Contract Documents (as those terms are defined in City of Visalia Engineering Standard Specifications), including the bonds submitted with this Contract, Contractor agrees at his own cost and expense, to do all the work and furnish all the materials necessary to construct and complete in a good, workmanlike, and substantial manner, the FY 25-26 CAPE SEAL, as a fully operational and functional facility for the intended purpose in accordance with the Contract Documents, and in accordance with the reference documents listed in the Contract Documents, which are also made a part hereof.

Said work to be done is shown upon the following plans:

RFB No.: 25-26-33
Project Name: FY 25-26 CAPE SEAL
Project No.: 1410-72000/CP0247-999
which said plans are hereby made a part of this contract.

ARTICLE II - Contractor agrees to receive and accept the following prices as full compensation for furnishing all materials and for doing all the work described in this Contract; also for all loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work aforesaid, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties or obstructions which may arise or be encountered in the prosecution of the work until its acceptance by the City of Visalia and for all risks of every description connected with the work; also for all expenses incurred by or in consequence of the suspension or discontinuance of work and for well and faithfully completing the work, and the whole thereof, in the manner and according to the Contract Documents, and requirements of the Engineer under them, to wit:

COMPLETED BID SCHEDULE TO BE INSERTED HERE IN FINAL CONTRACT ARTICLE III - Contractor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold City and its officers, agents, employees and assigns, harmless from any liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government code 810.8), whether arising before or after completion of work hereunder, or in any manner directly or indirectly caused, occasioned or contributed to, or claimed to be caused, occasioned or contributed to, in whole or in part, by reason of any act or omission, including strict liability or negligence of Contractor, or of anyone acting under Contractor's direction or control or on its behalf, in connection with or incident to or arising out of the performance of this contract.

It is the intent of the parties that Contractor will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and its officers, agents, employees, and assigns, from any and all claims, demands, costs, suits or actions as set forth above regardless of the existence of passive concurrent negligence, on the part of the City or anyone acting under its direction or control or on its behalf. It is further the intent of the parties that this indemnification required is not intended to relieve City from liability for the active negligence of City, its officers, agency and employees.

The Contractor shall continuously protect City property, including work under construction, from damage, loss, or liability of any kind to persons or property arising in connection with the contract, direct or indirect, including that arising from rainfall, flood waters, and other action of the elements and all acts of third parties.

This indemnity and hold harmless provision, insofar as it may be adjudged to be against public policy, shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms of this indemnity and hold harmless provision may be within public policy and enforceable.

In an emergency affecting the safety of life or limb, work site, or any property, the Contractor is hereby permitted and directed to act at their discretion to prevent such threatened loss of injury, and in the event any instructions are given by the City of Visalia in any emergency, the Contractor shall unconditionally comply therewith.

With respect to the performance of work under this agreement, the Contractor shall maintain and shall require all of its subcontractors to maintain insurance as described below.

Worker's Compensation insurance with statutory limits, and employer's liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per accident.

Commercial General Liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. Such insurance shall include products/completed operations liability, owner's and Contractor's protective, blanket contractual liability, personal injury liability, broad form property damage coverage and explosion, collapse and underground hazard coverage. Such insurance shall (a) name City, its appointed and elected officials, officers, employees and agents as insureds; and (b) be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by the City; and (c) contain Standard cross liability provisions. Such additional insured endorsement maintained by Contractor and its subcontractors shall not be required to provide coverage for City for the active negligence of City.

Commercial Automobile Liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. Such insurance shall include coverage for owned, hired and non-owned automobiles and shall be provided by a business automobile policy.

Contractor shall furnish properly executed certificates of insurance to City prior to commencement of work under this agreement, such certificates shall:

Clearly evidence all coverage required above, including specific evidence of a separate endorsement naming the City as an insured; Indicate whether coverage provided is on a claims-made or occurrence basis; and Provide that such insurance shall not be materially changed, terminated, or allowed to expire except on 30-days prior written notice to City’s Purchasing Division, Attention:

Purchasing
707 W. Acequia Avenue
Visalia, CA 93291.

Such insurance shall be maintained from the time work first commences until completion of the work under this Agreement if an occurrence policy form is used. If a claim made policy is used, coverage shall be maintained during the contract term and for a period extending 5 years beyond the contract date. Contractor shall replace such certificates for policies expiring prior to completion of work under this agreement and shall continue to furnish certificates 4 years beyond the contract term, when Contractor has a claim made form(s). If Contractor, for any reason, fails to maintain insurance coverage which is required pursuant to this agreement, the same shall be deemed a material breach of contract. City, at its sole option, may terminate this agreement and/or obtain damages from the Contractor resulting from said breach. Alternatively, City may purchase such required insurance coverage, and without further notice to Contractor, City may deduct from sums due to Contractor any premium costs advanced by City for such insurance.

This insuring provision, insofar as it may be adjudged to be against public policy or in violation of Insurance Code Section 11580.04, shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms of the insuring provisions herein may be within public policy and enforceable.

ARTICLE IV - It is further expressly agreed by and between the City and the Contractor that should there be any conflict between the terms of this instrument and the bid or proposal of said Contractor, then this instrument shall control and nothing herein shall be considered as an acceptance of the said terms of said proposal conflicting with this instrument.

Executive Order N-6-22 – Russia Sanctions. On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (the EO) regarding Economic Sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals. “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Contractor is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide Contractor advance written notice of such termination, allowing Contractor at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement as of the date opposite their respective signatures.

The City shall approve the design mix and all Micro Surfacing materials and methods prior to use and shall designate the proportions to be used within the following limits:

Residual Asphalt 5.5% to 9.5% by dry weight of aggregate Mineral Filler 0% to 3% by dry weight of aggregate Polymer Based Modifier Shall be a minimum of 3% solids content Water (Potable) As required to provide proper consistency Spreading Equipment
The mixture shall be agitated and spread uniformly in the surfacing box by means of twin-shafted paddles or spiral augers fixed in the spreader box. A front seal shall be provided to ensure no loss of the mixture at the road contact point. The rear seal shall act as a final strike-off and shall be adjustable. The spreader box and rear strike-off shall be so designed and operated that a uniform consistency is achieved and a free flow of material is provided to the rear strike-off. The spreader box shall have suitable means provided to side shift the box to compensate for variations in the pavement geometry.

Each mixing unit to be used in the performance of the work shall be calibrated in the presence of the B.A.R. prior to the start of the project. Previous calibration documentation covering the exact materials to be used may be acceptable, provided that no more than 60 days have lapsed. The documentation shall include an individual calibration of each material at various settings that can be related to the machine metering devices. Any component replacement affecting material proportioning requires that the machine be recalibrated. No machine will be allowed to work on the project until the calibration has been completed and/or accepted. ISSA Inspector’s Manual describes a method of machine calibration. ISSA contractors and/or machine manufacturers may also provide methods of machine calibration.

Application
Micro surfacing shall be placed at a rate of 20-32 lb/SY for Type II (Dry pounds per yard).

Micro surfacing shall not be applied if either the pavement or air temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and falling but may be applied when both pavement and air temperatures are above 45°F (7°C) and rising. No Micro Surfacing shall be applied when there is the possibility of freezing temperatures at the project location within 24 hours after application. The Micro Surfacing shall not be applied when weather conditions prolong opening to traffic beyond a reasonable time.

If truck-mounted mixer-spreaders are used, keep at least 2 operational spreaders at the job site during placement. Approved hand squeegees, with burlap drags, shall be used to spread Micro Surfacing in areas not accessible to the Micro Surfacing spreader box. Care shall be exercised in leaving no unsightly appearance from handwork.

Care shall be taken to ensure straight lines along curbs and shoulders. No runoff on these areas will be permitted. Lines at intersections shall be kept straight to provide a good appearance.

Curing
Areas receiving Micro Surfacing will be allowed to cure from one to three hours or until the treated pavement will not be damaged by traffic. The Contractor will protect the area with suitable barricades or markers for the full curing period. Areas which are damaged within 24 hours of application of Micro Surfacing, or prior to moving to new work locations, shall be repaired by the Contractor at his expense.

Traffic
Suitable methods shall be used by the contractor to protect the Micro Surfacing from damage from all types of vehicular traffic. Opening to traffic does not constitute acceptance of the work. The Project Manager shall be notified of the methods to be used. In areas that are subject to an increased rate of sharp-turning vehicles, additional time may be required for a more complete cure of the Micro Surfacing mat to prevent damage. Slight tire marks may be evident in these areas after opening but will diminish over time with rolling traffic. If these areas are not severely rutted, they should be considered as normal characteristics of Micro Surfacing.

Clean Up
All areas, such as manways, gutters and intersections, shall have the Micro Surfacing removed as specified by the Project Manager. The Contractor shall remove any debris associated with the performance of the work on a daily basis. All plastic shall be removed from covers at the end of the project before traffic is opened to the public.

Payment
The Micro Surfacing shall be measured and paid for by the square yards on the work completed and accepted by the buyer. The price shall be full compensation for furnishing all materials; for preparation, mixing and applying these materials; and for all labor, equipment, tools, test design, cleanup and incidentals necessary to complete and warrant the job as specified herein.

SIGNAGE, STRIPING AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS
Painted Traffic Stripes & Pavement Markings

The certificate shall certify that the paint complies with the specifications Where striping joins existing striping, the Contractor shall begin and end the transition from the existing striping pattern into or from the new striping pattern a sufficient distance to ensure continuity of the striping pattern.

Traffic stripes and pavement markings shall be applied only on dry surfaces and only during periods of favorable weather. Painting shall not be performed when the atmospheric temperature is below 50° F when using water-based paint, when freshly painted surfaces may become damaged by rain, fog, or condensation; nor when it can be anticipated that the atmospheric temperature will drop below the aforementioned 50° F.

Surfaces which are to receive traffic stripes and pavement markings shall be cleaned of all dirt and loose material.

Each coat of paint for any traffic stripe shall be applied in one pass of the striping machine, regardless of the number, widths and patterns of individual stripes involved.

Paint shall be applied in 2 coats approximately as follows:

Water-based paints @ square foot coverage per gallon:
215sf/gal - 1st coat
215sf/gal - 2nd coat
Traffic stripes and pavement markings shall be free of runs, drag marks, stretch marks, and debris.
