Guidance:
(A) Bidder's (or its subconsultant's) inability to certify to the items in paragraph (1)(B), (1)(C), (1)(D), and (1)(E) will not necessarily result in withholding of an award.However,this certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Bidder's responsibility.

Certification Regarding Debarment CONT.
the Bidder non responsible. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (1) above. The knowledge and information of an Bidder is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
(B) "Principal", for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment;and similar positions). (C) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:(i) The tax liability is finally determined.The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed.A liability is notfinally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability,the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required.A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action isprecluded.
Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. § 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency.This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. § 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing,the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability.This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review,this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. § 6159.The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection.The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the BankruptcyCode). 43 12/13/2022 C8 Page 27 of 388

(A) Bidder's (or its subconsultant's) inability to certify to the items in paragraph (1)(B), (1)(C), (1)(D), and (1)(E) will not necessarily result in withholding of an award.However,this certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Bidder's responsibility. Failure of the Bidder to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as required in paragraph(4)above or as requested by the Contracting Officer may render 42 12/13/2022 C8 Page 88 of 388
Certification Regarding Debarment CONT.
the Bidder nonresponsible. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (1) above. The knowledge and information of an Bidder is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of businessdealings.
(B) "Principal", for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions). (C) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:(i) The tax liability is finally determined.The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative orjudicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action isprecluded.
Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. § 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency.This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. § 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing,the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review,this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. § 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the BankruptcyCode). 43 12/13/2022 C8 Page 89 of 388

The Contractor must continue to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract until a Change Order, incorporating the cost reduction proposal has been issued. If a Change Order has not been issued by the date upon which the Contractor's cost 80 12/13/2022 C8 Page 126 of 388
reduction proposal specified that a decision thereon should be made, or such other date as the Contractor may subsequently have specified in writing, such cost reduction proposal must be deemed rejected.
The Engineer is the sole judge of the acceptability of a cost reduction proposal and the estimated net savings. In determining the estimated net savings, the Agency has the right to disregard the Contract Bid prices if, in the judgment of the Engineer, such prices do not represent fair measure of the value of the work to be performed or to be deleted.
The Agency reserves the right, where it deems such action appropriate, to require the Contractor to share in the Agency's costs of investigating the Contractor's cost reduction proposal as a condition of considering such proposal. Where such a condition is imposed, the Contractor shall indicate his acceptance in writing allowing the Agency to deduct amounts payable to the Contractor for any monies due or that may become due to the Contractor under the Contract.
If the Engineer accepts your cost reduction proposal in whole or in part,the Engineer will issue a Change Order to incorporate the changes in the Plans and Specifications which are necessary to permit the cost reduction proposal, or such part of it as has been acceptable to be put into effect. If the Engineer's approval is conditional,the Change Order will include any conditions upon which the Engineer's approval is based.
The Change Order shall also include the estimated net savings in the cost of performing the Work due to the accepted cost reduction proposal and provides that the Contract cost be adjusted by crediting the Agency with fifty percent(50%)of estimated net savings amount.
The Contract time will not be extended by the acceptance of the cost reduction proposal and performance of the Work unless specified otherwise in the Change Order.
The amount specified as payable to the Contractor in the Change Order is full compensation for the cost reduction proposal and the performance of the Work.
The Agency expressly reserves the right to adopt a cost reduction proposal for general use on contracts administered by the Agency when it determines that said proposal is suitable for application to other contracts. When an accepted cost reduction proposal is adopted for general use,onlythe Contractor who first submitted such proposal will be eligible for compensation subject to this subsection, and in that case, only for contracts awarded prior to submission of the accepted cost reduction proposal.
The cost reduction proposals identical or similar to previously submitted proposals will be eligible for consideration and compensation under the provisions of this subsection, if the identical or similar, previously submitted proposal were not adopted for general application to other contracts administered by the Agency.
Subject to the provisions contained herein, the Agency must have the right to use all or any part of any submitted cost reduction proposal without obligation or compensation of any kind to the Contractor.
The Contractor must bear all costs to revise bonds for the Project to include the cost reduction incentive proposal Work.

SECTION 6 - PROSECTUTION, PROGRESS,
AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORK
6-1 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND COMMENCEMENT OF WORK. 6-1.1 Construction Schedule.
Delete this section in its entirety and replace with the following:
6-1.1 Construction Schedule. Within ten (10) Working Days after execution of the Contract or at the Pre-Construction Meeting, and prior to the commencement of work, the Contractor shall submit its proposed construction schedule to the Engineer using a scheduling program (e.g. Microsoft Project, Oracle's Primavera or other approved equal program capable of producingthe required information). The construction schedule shall be in the form of a tabulation, bar or Gantt chart, or graph satisfactory to the Engineer, and in sufficient detail to show chronological relationship of all activities on the Project. Said activities include, but are not limited to, estimated start and finish dates of all tasks that make up each bid item, submittal of shop drawings to the Engineer for approval, procurement of materials, and scheduling of equipment. Along with the construction schedule,the Contractor shall submit a cash-flow projection showingthe anticipated amount of each monthly payment that will become due the Contractor in accordance with the construction schedule.
The Contractor shall schedule and stage the Work on all streets to cause the least possible inconvenience to vehicular traffic (including busses and trash vehicles), bicyclists, pedestrians,adjacent businesses, local residences and schools.See EDCO Trash Schedules, Vista Unified School District Calendar, and NCTD Bus Schedules in the Appendix.
The Contract time listed in the Specifications is the Agency's best estimate of how long it will take to complete the Work. The construction schedule shall reflect all Contract requirements, shall recognize the requirements of Subsection 5-5 ("DELAYS."), and shall reflect completion of all work under the contract, including Punchlist items, in the specified time and in accordance with the Project Specifications and Plans. No schedule shall call for completion of the Project before or after the Contract completion date. The Project owns the float time and is not for the exclusive benefit of any Party. As such, liability for delay of the project completion date rests with the party actually causing the delay to the project completion date. By way of the Contractor assigning activity durations and proposing the sequence of the work, the Contractor hereby agrees to utilize sufficient and necessary management and other resources to perform the work in accordance with the construction schedule.
A Notice to Proceed shall be issued after the Pre-Construction Meeting, provided the Storm Water Permit and the Construction Staging/Traffic Control Plan have been submitted by the Contractor and accepted by the Engineer, and all other appropriate Contract requirements are fulfilled. The Work shall start within ten (10) Working Days thereafter, and shall be diligently prosecuted to completion within the time provided in the Project Specifications.
For projects of forty-five (45) Working Days or more, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer an updated construction schedule each month, showing the actual progress of the Work, as part of the Partial Payment request. Monthly progress payments are conditioned 93 12/13/2022 C8 Page 139 of 388
upon the Engineer receiving from the Contractor the monthly schedule update. Schedule updates must accurately reflect the "as-built" schedule. All changes to the schedule shall be highlighted or otherwise identified. Approved Change Orders shall also be incorporated in the updated schedule. It is highly recommended that a narrative be included with each update. The narrative should include a description of any logic changes made to the Project, a commentary as to gains and losses to critical and near critical activities, and a quantification of the gains and losses to the critical path. Failure to provide an updated construction schedule may result in withholding Contract payments until one is submitted.
If the Contractor desires to make a major change in the method of operations after commencing construction, or if the schedule fails to reflect the actual progress of the Work for any reason, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a revised construction schedule in advance of beginning revised operations. In the event that an action either by the Agency or the Contractor results in a delay to the schedule, it is beneficial if the parameters pertaining to that action are recorded as they happen.
Add the following new subsection:
6-1.3 Pre-Construction Meeting.
6-1.3 Pre-Construction Meeting. A Pre-Construction Meeting shall be scheduled after the award and prior to construction. The Contractor (Principal and Project Superintendent) and any subcontractor for five percent (5%) or more of the work shall attend and be prepared to provide or discuss the following information:

The Contractor shall immediately comply with the written order of the Engineer to suspend the Work wholly or in part and shall not resume the Work until ordered to do so in writing by the Engineer. Such suspension shall be without liability to the Contractor on the part of the City except as otherwise specified in Subsection 6-6.3 ("Payment for Delays.").
In the event a suspension of work is ordered because of failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provisions of the Work,such suspension of work shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to complete the Work within the time limit set forth herein and shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for completion and, further,such suspension of work shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation.
If the work is suspended or otherwise not continuously prosecuted for any cause whatsoever, within or without the time for completion,the Contractor shall, at his sole cost and expense, remove and replace all or any portion of the work already completed and inspected which Agency,at its sole discretion, could have been damaged during the suspension of work. 6-6 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME.
6-6.2 Extension of Time.
Add the following paragraph to the end of this subsection:
Delays to the project caused by labor disputes or strikes involving trades not directly related to the project,or involving trades not affecting the project as a whole shall not warrant an extension of time. Daily charges for time extensions or delays from other causes shall be limited to negotiated amounts, or if no amounts are agreed upon, shall not exceed those charges documented to Agency's satisfaction for additional labor and material costs associated with the delay,and an amount not exceeding 10%thereof for overhead and profit. 95 12/13/2022 C8 Page 141 of 388
6-6.4 Written Notice and Report.

The request for payment or extension must be made at least fifteen (15) Working Days before the specified completion date. Failure by the Contractor to file these items within the times specified will be considered grounds for refusal by the Agency to consider such request.
By submitting a request for compensation or time extension, the Contractor agrees to make all books and records, including original bid estimates,subcontracts,daily reports,and correspondence, available to the Agency for review. The Contractor also agrees to include this requirement in all subcontracts.

If at any time during the warranty period, or during the extended warranty period specified, the Engineer finds the Work, or any part of the Work, to be defective or not in conformance with the plans and specifications, whether or not manufactured, fabricated, installed, completed or overlooked and accepted by the Engineer, the Contractor must, in accordance with the Engineer's written instructions and within the specified time limits, either correct the defective or non-conforming Work, or, if it has been rejected by the Engineer, remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective and conforming Work.
The Engineer may determine in its sole discretion to accept defective work in lieu of requiring the Contractor to correct or remove and replace the defective work. However, the Contractor must bear all direct and indirect costs of the defective work, and the diminished value to the Project,as determined by the Engineer. If the Engineer's acceptance of defective work occurs prior to Final Payment,the Engineer will issue a Change Order incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the defective work and affording the Agency the appropriate decrease in the Contract Price.
If the Contractor fails to correct, remove, or replace defective work or non-conforming work within five (5) Working Days from the date of written notice from the Engineer, the Engineer may proceed expeditiously with any correction undertaken in accordance with this section. The Agency may remedy after five (5) Working Days from the date of written notice when the Contractor fails to correct the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or when he fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents. If, in the opinion of the Agency, the non-conforming work or defective work creates a dangerous condition or requires immediate attention or correction to prevent further loss to the Agency or any other party, or to prevent interruption of operation of any Agency service or any service of any other party, The Agency will attempt to give notice required by this paragraph. If the contractor cannot be contacted or does not comply with the Agency's request for correction within a reasonable time determined by the Agency, then the Agency or other party may proceed to provide attention or make required corrections, and the cost of all correction or attention shall be charged to and paid for by the Contractor. The Agency may remedy immediately in the event of an emergency.
When undertaking remedial action under this section, the City may: exclude the Contractor from all or part of the Site;take possession of all or part of the Work,and suspend the Contractor's Work and or Services; and incorporate into the Project all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which the City has paid but the Contractor has stored elsewhere.
98 12/13/2022 C8 Page 144 of 388
The City will not allow an extension of the Contract Time or milestones because of any delay in the performance of the Project attributable to the City's undertaking remedial action to correct Defective Work.
For Building Projects which require a certificate of occupancy, not including sewer and water facilities, if the Contractor fails to correct the defective work listed on the Agency's "Punchlist" within forty-five (45) Working days after the Contract Time, he must reimburse the Agency for all costs to provide inspection services required to monitor Work beyond the forty-five (45) days. The Agency will bill the Contractor for the additional inspection at the Agency's established rates.
If the Contractor completes the Project or portions of the Project prior to the Notice of completion (NOC), he must preserve equipment by developing and implementing a preventive maintenance program in compliance with manufacturer's recommendations.

Add the following paragraphs to the end of this subsection:
Replacement of earthfill or backfill, where it has settled below the required finish surfaces, shall be considered part of repairs of defective work, and any repair of surfacing constructed by the Contractor, which becomes necessary because of settlement or ground movement, shall be likewise considered part of such repair work.
Any existing improvements which are damaged by the Contractor's operations, or any new work, including concrete, which is cracked, chipped, discolored, improperly finished, heaved, vandalized, or for any other reason does not conform to the specifications, shall be replaced by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Agency.
The parties agree that no certificate given, with the exception of the certificate of final payment, shall be conclusive evidence of the faithful performance of the Contract, either in whole or in part,and that no payment shall be construed to be in acceptance of any defective work or improper materials. Further, the certificate of final payment shall not terminate the Contractor's obligations under his warranty herein above. The Contractor agrees that payment of the amount due under the Contract and the adjustments and payments due for any work done in accordance with any alterations of the same, shall release the Agency,the Agency's Council and its officials, officers and employees from any and all claims or liability on account of work performed under the Contract or any alteration thereof.

The Contractor warrants clear and good title to all materials,supplies,and equipment installed and incorporated in the Work and agrees upon completion of all work to deliver the premises,together with all improvements and appurtenances constructed or placed thereon by the Contractor, and further agrees that neither the Contractor nor any person, firm or 99 12/13/2022 C8 Page 145 of 388
corporation furnishing any material or labor for any work covered by the Contract shall have any right to a lien upon the premises or any improvement or appurtenance thereon, provided that this shall not preclude the Contractor from installing metering devices or other equipment of utility companies the title of which is commonly retained by the utility company. Nothing contained in this article, however, shall defeat or impair the right of such persons furnishing materials or labor under any bond given by the Contractor for their protection,or any right under any law permitting such persons to look to funds due the Contractor, which are in the hands of the Agency. The provisions of this article shall be inserted in all subcontracts and material contracts, and notices of its provisions shall be given to all persons furnishing materials for the Work when no formal contract is entered into for such materials.

c) Enforce all warranties for the benefit of the Agency or other parties, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Agency.
This subsection shall not limit the Agency's rights under this Contract or with respect to latent defects, gross mistakes, or fraud. The Agency specifically reserves all rights related to defective work, including but not limited to the defect claims pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 337.15.
6-9 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Replace this subsection with the following.
6-9 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Failure of the Contractor to complete the Work within the time allowed will result in damages being sustained by the Agency.

The Contractor shall protect with BMPs, such as gravel bags and filter fabric, all new and existing storm water conveyance system structures and other facilities from sedimentation or other related construction debris and discharges, or by any other equal product that is acceptable to the City Engineer. The Contractor shall schedule and conduct land disturbance operations, such as demolition, clearing, and grading, to minimize or avoid rain fall induced erosion and sediment discharges and prevent tracking at the construction site during ingress and egress. Water pollution control activities shall also consist of implementing good housekeeping BMPs to reduce the discharge of pollutants from construction sites. Such features as drainage gutters, slope protection blankets, and retention basins, if applicable to the site as described in the erosion control plan,shall be constructed prior to start of work.
The Contractor shall prevent any discharge of concrete rinse water or other pollutant into a storm water conveyance facility by using physical barriers. 117
12/13/2022 C8 Page 163 of 388
The Contractor shall maximize the preservation of existing native and non-native vegetation and minimize soil disturbance within the limits of Work.
The Contractor shall show on the erosion control plan all water pollution, erosion control, and sediment control BMPs for the Work including the locations for concrete washout, vehicle maintenance,staging, dispensing of fuel, and storage areas. Further,the Contractor shall show all pollutant control measures or BMPs to be used to confine construction waste in designated areas, including construction entrance stabilization and wheel-wash measures to reduce the tracking or deposition of sediment onto public and private roads.
During the dry season (May 1 through September 30 each year), the Contractor shall inspect at least monthly all pollutant control measures or BMPs installed to mitigate construction activities during the dry season. During the rainy season (October 1 through April 30 each year), the Contractor shall inspect at least weekly all pollutant control measures, inspect before and after every rain event and every twenty-four(24) hours during any prolonged rain event.
The Contractor shall implement the following water pollution control measures:
(a) Minimum Water Quality Protection Requirements:
(1) Eroded sediments and other pollutants must be retained on site and may not be transported from the Work site via sheet flow, swales, area drains, natural drainage, tracking by vehicles or equipment, or wind. Erosion from slopes and channels shall be controlled by implementing an effective combination of BMPs, such as the limiting of grading scheduled during the rainy season; planting and maintenance of vegetation on slopes; and cover to prevent or minimize erosion of susceptible slopes.
(2) Stockpiles of earth and other work-related materials must be protected from being transported from the site by wind or water.
(3) Fuels, oils, solvents, and other toxic and non-toxic substances shall be stored in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions. All storage containers shall be protected from the weather. Fuels, oils, solvents, and other toxic substances originating from the Contractor's operations shall not be allowed to contaminate the soil, storm water or surface waters or enter the ground water or be placed where they will enter a live stream, channel, drain, or other water conveyance facility.
(4) The Contractor may not wash excess or waste concrete onto the ground or into the public rights of way or any drainage system. Provisions shall be made to retain concrete wastes onsite with containment until it can be appropriately disposed of or recycled.
(5) Trash and construction-related solid wastes must be deposited into a covered receptacle to prevent contamination of rainwater and dispersal by wind. (6) Vehicle and equipment traffic shall nottrack sediments and other materials from the construction site. The Contractor must stabilize the entrance roadways to the construction site to inhibit sediments from being deposited into the public rights of ways. Accidental depositions must be swept up immediately and may not be washed down by rain or by any other means. All loose soil and debris shall be removed from street areas upon starting operations and periodically thereafter as directed by the City Engineer.
(7) Non-storm water, wash water and runoff from equipment and vehicle washing and any other activity shall be contained at the construction site. 118
12/13/2022 C8 Page 164 of 388
(8) The Contractor shall protect all new and existing storm drain system structures from sedimentation, or other construction related debris and discharges with gravel bags and filter fabric or by any other equal product or measure acceptable to the City Engineer. Accumulated debris shall be cleaned up and properly disposed of by the Contractor to prevent the materials from entering or being carried into storm water conveyances.
(9) When making sawcuts in pavement, use as little water as possible and perform during dry weather. Cover each storm drain inlet completely with filter fabric or plastic duringthe sawing operation and contain the slurry by placing straw bales, sandbags,or gravel dams around the inlets. After the liquid drains or evaporates, shovel or vacuum the slurry residue from the pavement or gutter and remove from site. Alternatively, a small onsite vacuum may be used to pick up the slurry as this will prohibit slurry from reaching storm drain inlets. (10)Pavement marking:
• Schedule pavement marking activities for dry weather. • Develop paint handling procedures for proper use, storage, and disposal of paints.
• Transfer and load paint and hot thermoplastic away from storm drain inlets. • Provide drop cloths and drip pans in paint mixing areas. • Properly maintain application equipment.
• Street sweep all grindings. Yellow thermoplastic grindings may require special handling as they may contain lead.
• Paints containing lead or tributyltin are considered a hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.
• Use water based paints whenever possible. If using water based paints, clean the application equipment in a sink that is connected to the sanitary sewer.
• Properly store leftover paints if they are to be kept for the next job, or dispose of properly.
(11)After the completion of the Work, the construction site shall be cleared of trash and debris and restored to a condition equal to or better than that existing before construction by completing all approved landscaping and permanent or post- construction sediment controls.
(b) Erosion Control Plan
Whenever it appears that the construction site will have grading during the rainy season, or as requested by the City Engineer, the Contractor shall be prepared to execute a rain event action plan based on implementation of BMPs as specified in the Project's Erosion Control Plan.
The Contractor shall mark with a stencil, concrete stamp, or ceramic tile every storm drain inlet within the Project boundaries to indicate that no dumping is allowed in storm drainage facilities that discharge in the ocean. The stencil or tiles are available from the City Engineer, with five (5) Working Days advance notice. On curb inlets, the stencil shall be placed at the curb line on the inlet roof, the stamp should be placed on the inlet roof or in the sidewalk behind the inlet,and the tile shall be affixed to the gutter with pavement-marker adhesive or inset in the concrete in the center of the inlet opening. On catch basins, the stencil, stamp, and tile shall be placed or imprinted next to the inlet grate. Extra concrete may be required next to the grate to accommodate the stencil, stamp, or tile dimensions. 119

In orderto prevent contamination,Contractorshall provide a three-quarter inch (3/4")thick plywood platform to be placed on the concrete shelf at the bottom of sewer manholes prior to starting adjustment work. The shape of this platform shall conform to the circumference of the inside wall at the shelf elevation. After the manhole had been adjusted, the material accumulated on the plywood shelf along with the plywood shelf shall be removed from the manhole and disposed of in accordance with Subsection 300-1.3("Removal and Disposal of Materials.") The Contractor shall remove all debris from the interior of manholes,valve covers, and cleanouts and shall clean all foreign material from the top of the frames and covers. The Contractor shall include all costs in the related items of work, and no additional compensation will be allowed.
Add the following new paragraph(s) to this subsection:
Because VID water facility sleeve and cover adjustments in paved areas must be done as the paving operation proceeds, VID typically has a crew working at the same time the Contractor is performing the paving operations. If VID is not able to perform the work due to an unforeseen circumstance, the Contractor shall adjust those facilities to grade on behalf of VID as the paving work is being done. Because the quantity of VID covers to be adjusted depends on the availability of VID crews to perform the work,the quantity in the Bid is a rough estimate for bidding purposes only. Stipulated unit prices may be included in the Bid to eliminate for all bidders the risk of including prices for those items of work in the bid and not getting the work. Subsequently, these bid items are exempt from the adjustment of bid unit prices under Subsection 3-2.2.3 ("Decreases of More than 25 Percent.").

301-1.7 Payment.
Revise this subsection to read as follows:
301-1.7 Payment. The BID SCHEDULE DOES NOT include a bid item for subgrade preparation. Full compensation for Subgrade Preparation required to perform the construction operations specified or shown on the Plans will be considered as included in the price bid for the related items of work, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
Payment for grading operations in areas designated as "grade only" will be considered as included in the price for excavation or fill.
Payment for adjusting manhole frames and covers to grade, where the difference between the lowest point of manhole riser removal to the final elevation of the top of the frame is less than 15 inches or where the adjustment is accomplished by adjustment rings only, will be made at the Contract unit price for adjusting each manhole frame and cover, using pre-cast concrete grade rings.
The contractor shall adjust all relocated meters and meter boxes to finish grade per plans, VID Standards and under VID inspection. The Contractor shall include all costs in the related items of work, and no additional compensation will be allowed. 301-2 UNTREATED BASE.
301-2.1 General.
Add the following to this subsection:
Concrete curb,gutter,cross gutter,spandrel,sidewalk,driveway,and flatwork shall be placed on untreated compacted aggregate base, unless the existing material under the areas being repaired is determined to be firm and unyielding by the Engineer. New Asphalt Concrete Pavement shall also be placed on untreated compacted aggregate base. Untreated compacted aggregate base shall have the following thicknesses under respective concrete surface improvement unless shown otherwise on the Plans or specified:
PCC Sidewalk shall be placed on four inches (6") of untreated compacted aggregate base.
PCC Curb and Gutter shall be placed on six inches (6") of untreated compacted aggregate base.
PCC Pedestrian Access Ramp shall be placed on four inches (6") of untreated compacted aggregate base.

153
12/13/2022 C8 Page 199 of 388
The Contractor will be allowed to reuse any existing base that is removed if the base material is removed without being contaminated by subgrade soils or other deleterious materials. The re- used base material must be moisture conditioned and compacted as specified. The Contractor shall provide water and compact the surface of any base material that will form the foundation for subsequent improvements, to meet the requirements of the Plans and specifications. The Contractor shall remove and replace any existing aggregate base that becomes contaminated. 301-2.3 Compacting.
Add the following as the first paragraph:
301-2.3 Compacting. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to provide adequate equipment and methods to accomplish the Work in accordance with these Specifications. The grading shall be done to the elevations provided in the Plans. Any field conditions that prevent the Contractor from matching design elevations shall be immediately notified to the Engineer.
Revise the third paragraph of this subsection to read as follows:
The relative compaction of each layer of compacted base material shall not be less than ninety-five percent (95%) for curbs, driveways and pavement for a minimum depth of one foot (1.0') below the grading plane. Compaction under sidewalks and in the excepted areas shall be as specified in Subsection 211-1 ("Compaction Tests.") with each layer of compacted base material having a minimum compaction of ninety percent (90%). 301-2.4 Measurement and Payment.
Revise this subsection to read as follows:
301-2.4 Measurement and Payment. The quantities of new untreated aggregate base will be included in the payment for the square footage of the improvements constructed on the base.
If the Engineer directs the Contractor to place additional base, the thickness requested by the Engineer will be used in calculating the pay quantity. If the base thickness is increased by the Contractor for his convenience or to avoid performing additional required subgrade preparation, the additional base will not be included in the pay quantity.
Because the determination of whether untreated aggregate base will be needed in certain areas depends on the condition of the existing materials, it is a rough estimate for bidding purposes. Subsequently, this bid item is exempt from the adjustment of bid unit prices under Subsection 3-2.2.3 ("Decreases of More than 25 Percent.").
Payment for untreated compacted aggregate base will be made by Bid Price for the improvements constructed on the base as shown in the bid. Such bid price shall include full compensation for clearing and grubbing; earthwork; subgrade preparation; supplying, placing, spreading, compacting, and finishing the untreated base; and all other work required to perform the construction operations specified or shown on the Plans, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
