SUBJECT: CIP NO. 8131 BUENA OUTFALL FORCE MAIN PROJECT – AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: Construction of the Buena Outfall Force Main Phase III was originally awarded by the Buena Sanitation District (District) Board of Directors on June 12, 2018. The approximately 4-mile pipeline is within the west bound right-of-way of Palomar Airport Road between El Camino Real and Interstate 5. The pipeline was constructed to replace a parallel outfall facility and convey all of Buena Sanitation District’s (District) sewage to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility.
Construction of the project started in fall 2018 and was completed in summer 2021.
Commissioning activities were conducted at the conclusion of construction and operating issues were discovered with the new pipeline’s ability to convey the sewage flow. Coordination with the design engineer to remedy operating issues ensued through fall 2021 after the commissioning failure; however, no significant operating improvements were realized from these efforts and the pipeline remained offline.
In light of the circumstances, the City Attorney's office hired Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering (PACE) to provide expert consulting services to assist the District with investigating the operating problem, develop next steps to realize successful operation, and understand professional liability of the design engineer, Lee and Ro, Inc.
PACE’s review uncovered engineering design errors that prevented the new system from properly conveying sewage flow. Based on these findings, the District developed the plans and specifications for emergency modifications to correct deficiencies of the original design. The work includes adding and relocating combination air vacuum relief valves to above ground locations, converting gravity manhole pipe segments to pressure pipe, and making improvements to isolate the odor control systems from flooding during high flow periods. Modifications to the system are critical to prevent sewer overflows during wet weather periods since the old outfall lacks sufficient capacity to convey peak wet weather flows to the Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA). The entire project alignment is within the City of Carlsbad city limits and restricted to nighttime construction work.
The project was advertised for competitive public bids on March 20, 2024, through the District’s procurement platform OpenGov. The bid opening was conducted at 2pm on April 18, 2024, but unfortunately, no bids were received. Staff contacted qualified contractors that downloaded the bid set to understand their reasoning for not submitting a bid on the project. Contractors provided a variety of differing reasons including nightwork requirements, logistical difficulties of working within Palomar Airport Road, legal risk management, and focus on larger contracts publicly advertised during the bid period.
Vista Municipal Code Section 3.08.150(Q) provides an exemption from complying with the bidding process for public projects when bids were solicited without getting any qualified responses and determines that the services are still needed. Considering that the project is critical in meeting the sewage conveyance needs of the District, staff recommends the work be awarded through a sole source contract. With consideration given to purchasing best practices, staff reviewed the work with and solicited pricing from three general contractors who have successfully completed similar infrastructure projects for public utility agencies. Contractors were provided with the bid documents and asked to submit their pricing, any noted exceptions to the specified work, and their first availability to commence the project.
Pricing received for the project is as follows:
Bidder’s Name Office Location Total Amount
Dick Miller Inc. San Marcos $ 2,250,266
GCI Construction Inc. San Clemente $ 2,773,500 Orion Construction Vista $ 3,778,100

MEETING DATE: JUNE 25, 2024 PAGE 3
SUBJECT: CIP NO. 8131 BUENA OUTFALL FORCE MAIN PROJECT – AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT
An analysis of pricing was conducted, and Dick Miller Inc. (DMI) was determined to be the lowest responsible and responsive contractor. Staff recommends that the District Board of Directors (Board) award the contract for construction of the Emergency Modifications - Buena Outfall Force Main Phase III project to DMI in the amount of $2,250,266. Vista Municipal Code, Section 3.08.100(A)(1) provides that the District General Manager has change order authority equal to the greater of $50,000 or 10 percent of the contract amount. Staff recommends that $225,027 in contingency funding be budgeted to correspond to the District General Manager’s change order authority. With this contingency, the total construction authorization is $2,475,293.
It should be noted that Orion Construction’s pricing provided a scope modification for the conversion of gravity manhole pipe segments to pressure pipe segments which affects the comparison and their overall pricing total. Orion believed constructing the pressure conversion improvements within manholes involved added risk due to conditions beyond their control. As a result, their proposal for the pressure conversions includes excavation, removing the manholes, coupling the pipe, backfilling, and street paving.
Implementation of the project requires construction engineering services to support the District during construction. Staff recommends that the Board authorize a contract amendment to the City Attorney Agreement in the amount of $150,000 with PACE to provide the as-needed construction engineering services. PACE is best suited to continue assisting the District on a time-and-material basis due to their familiarity with the project and the related design issues.
In addition, staff also recommends that the Board authorize $300,000 for legal expenses related to (1) the District’s ongoing lawsuit against the design engineer (the District’s contract has an attorney’s fee provision allowing recovery of fees to the prevailing party), and (2) for legal expenses related to the City of Carlsbad’s challenge regarding a new connection to District infrastructure.
To meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the original Buena Outfall Force Main Phase III Project was evaluated under a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (SCH# 2014041035) and a Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program that was adopted by the City’s Zoning Administrator on September 20, 2014. As allowed by CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the adopted MND may be relied upon as the CEQA document for specific subsequent activities such as this construction project. As documented in the CEQA 15162 Consistency Memorandum, attached to the staff report as Exhibit 5, the proposed project is in conformance with the existing MND and will not have any potentially significant environmental effects that were not adequately analyzed in the adopted MND, and all applicable mitigation measures from the adopted MND will be enforced and applied to the proposed project.
FISCAL IMPACT: The construction contract is $2,250,266, with a 10% contingency for a total budget of $2,475,293. The amendment to the contract with Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering, Inc. dba PACE is $150,000. The project account requires a supplemental appropriation for the construction contract, construction engineering, expert consulting services and additional unforeseen project costs. Approval of the staff recommendation will amend the Capital Projects Budget for Fiscal Years 2022/23 and 2023/24 by adding an additional $3,000,000 from the Buena Sanitation Sewer Capital Expansion fund balance (No. 5060000.310410) to the Bunea Outfall Force Main Project (CIP No. 8131). The City Attorney’s Office has commenced legal proceedings against the design engineer, Lee & Ro, Inc., and will be seeking reimbursement for all costs incurred to administer, investigate and construct the needed emergency modifications and realize the system’s intended design capacity. 06/25/2024 C5 Page 3 of 351

Addendum to the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH 2014041035) for the Buena Outfall Force Main, Phase III (CIP 8131)
The Buena Sanitation District (District) prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) (SCH 2014041035) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Buena Outfall Force Main Phase III Project (Approved Project) which was adopted by the District on September 23, 2014. A Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed with the San Diego County Clerk on September 24, 2014. An Addendum was prepared on January 5, 2016, to revise the 2014 Final IS/MND to address the Project’s 60% design changes that occurred since the Approved Project’s final design, which included minor changes to pipe diameters and segment lengths. Construction of the Approved Project started in fall of 2018 and was completed in summer of 2021. After construction of the Approved Project, an investigation revealed engineering design errors that prevented the new system from properly conveying sewage flow. The system modifications that are currently proposed (Modified Project) would be confined to the Approved Project’s alignment, which is generally limited to the City of Carlsbad’s existing public right-of-way located beneath or adjacent to the affected streets, as shown in Figure 1, Location Map, and Figure 2, Modified Project Site Plan.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Sections 15162 and 15164) allow that a lead agency may prepare an addendum to a previously adopted IS/MND if minor technical changes or additions to the environmental evaluation are necessary, but none of the following occurs:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or

Addendum to the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH 2014041035) for the Buena Outfall Force Main, Phase III (CIP 8131) 2 (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C)Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the Lead Agency (District) is required to prepare an Addendum to a previously adopted IS/MND if some changes or additions are necessary but where none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have occurred. Key to the Lead Agency’s decision to prepare an Addendum are that the proposed changes to the Project do not (1) result in any new significant effects, (2) increase the severity of any previously identified significant effects, or (3) require new or substantial changes to the adopted mitigation measures.
The District has reviewed the adopted IS/MND relative to the Modified Project design and has determined that neither a subsequent IS/MND nor a supplement to the IS/MND is warranted since the changes in the Project are minor in nature and include improvements to the design errors in the recently constructed Approved Project. The District has determined that Modified Project components including (1) relocating underground combination air vacuum relief valves to above-ground locations, (2) converting gravity pipe segments to pressure pipe, and (3) adding improvements to isolate odor control facilities from flooding during high-flow wet weather periods would not result in any new significant impacts, a worsening of identified significant impacts, or create a need for new or substantially modified mitigation measures. This Addendum has been prepared as part of the CEQA administrative record in order to formally document the proposed activities to be carried out under the Modified Project, which are as follows:
•Relocate five existing underground air vacuum relief valves from within manholes in the center westbound lane of Palomar Airport Road to above-ground locations. –Raise three air vacuum valves and construct dual air vacuum assemblies at-grade. –Raise two single air vacuum valves with reconstruction at-grade. •Add one dual air vacuum valve at-grade by way of modification within an existing gravity manhole with related improvements to couple and construct a continuous pressurized pipeline segment. •Install one new single air vacuum valve in an unimproved easement area northeast of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real.

Addendum to the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH 2014041035) for the Buena Outfall Force Main, Phase III (CIP 8131) 3 •Convert fifteen (15) gravity pipeline segments within manholes to segments of continuous pressure pipeline at various locations along the alignment.
•Implement mechanical and electrical improvements to protect two existing Odor Control Units from flooding when the system experiences higher flows in winter wet weather periods.
The Project would require similar related construction activities such as asphalt and portland cement concrete removals, trenching, excavation, over-excavation, backfilling and compaction, pipeline modifications, mechanical piping, appurtenance installation, installation of electrical systems, restoration of existing surface improvements, irrigation, and erosion control and stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), which are comparable in terms of nature and intensity as those construction activities analyzed in the 2014 Final MND for the Approved Project. As such, impacts from construction activities associated with the Modified Project would be similar to those of the Approved Project, and would be less than significant with implementation of applicable mitigation measures adopted as part of the 2014 Final MND MMRP. Accordingly, the previously adopted mitigation measures identified in the MMRP that would be applicable and implemented for the Modified Project include the following (refer to the 2014 Final MND MMRP for the full list of mitigation measures adopted for the Approved Project):
AQ-1 All construction equipment will be maintained at appropriate mechanical and electronic tuning levels per the manufacturer's specifications. Diesel equipment, including dump trucks waiting to deliver or receive soil, gravel, aggregate or other bulk materials, standing idle for more than five minutes shall be turned off in accordance with the Regulation for In- Use Off-Road Vehicles (California Code of Regulations Title 13, Article 4.8, Chapter 9, Section 2449(d)(3)), which took effect June 15, 2008:
(A)Idling Limit – No vehicles or engines subject to this regulation may idle more than five consecutive minutes. Idling of a vehicle that is owned by a rental company is the responsibility of the renter or lessee, and the rental agreement should so indicate. The idling limit does not apply to:
1.Idling when queuing,
2.Idling to verify that the vehicle is in safe operating condition,
3.Idling for testing, servicing, repairing or diagnostic purposes,
4.Idling necessary to accomplish work for which the vehicle was designed (such as operating a crane),
5.Idling required to bring the machine system to operating temperature, and
6.Idling necessary to ensure safe operation of the vehicle. (B)Written Idling Policy – As of March 1, 2009, medium and large fleets must also have a written idling policy that is made available to operators of the vehicles and informs them that idling is limited to five consecutive minutes or less. (C)Waiver – A fleet owner may apply to the Executive Officer for a waiver to allow for additional idling in excess of 5 consecutive minutes. The Executive Officer shall 06/25/2024 C5 Page 12 of 351
Addendum to the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH 2014041035) for the Buena Outfall Force Main, Phase III (CIP 8131) 4 grant such a request upon finding that the fleet owner has provided sufficient justification that such idling is necessary.
AQ-2 Project construction shall implement the following measure in order to minimize construction- related emissions due to dust:
•Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph.
BIO-1 In order to avoid impacts to adjacent open space habitats during construction, open space interfaces will require temporary orange construction fencing which clearly delineates the edge of the approved limits of grading and clearing and environmentally sensitive areas beyond. This fencing shall be installed in all areas adjacent to protected open spaces, and shall be installed prior to construction, and maintained for the duration of construction activity. Fencing shall be installed in a manner that does not impact habitats to be avoided. At least seven days prior to initiating project impacts, the final plans and photographs for initial clearing and grubbing of habitat and project construction shall be submitted to the District for review and approval. These final plans shall include photographs that show the fenced limits of impact and all areas to be impacted or avoided. If work occurs beyond the fenced or demarcated limits of impact, all work in the area shall cease until the problem has been remedied and mitigation identified, to the satisfaction of a qualified biological monitor. Temporary orange construction fencing shall be removed upon completion of construction of the project.
BIO-2 The District shall install temporary silt barriers along the limits of project impacts (including construction staging areas and access routes) adjacent to open space habitats to prevent additional habitat impacts and prevent the spread of silt from the construction zone into adjacent habitats to be avoided. Silt fencing shall be installed in a manner that does not impact habitats to be avoided.
BIO-3 In order to adequately protect the adjacent open spaces, the District shall ensure that the following mitigation measures are implemented during project construction by incorporating them into the design/contractor specifications of the project:
•Employees shall strictly limit their activities, vehicles, equipment and construction materials to the fenced project footprint;
•Pets of project personnel shall not be allowed on the project site; •Disposal or temporary placement of excess fill, brush or other debris shall not be allowed in waters of the United States or their banks;
•All equipment maintenance, staging, and dispensing of fuel, oil, coolant, or any other such activities shall occur in designated areas within the fenced project impact limits and in such a manner as to prevent any runoff from entering offsite open spaces, and shall be shown on the construction plans. Fueling of equipment shall take place within existing paved areas.
Contractor equipment shall be checked for leaks prior to operation and repaired as necessary. "No-fueling zones" shall be designated on construction plans; and •Night lighting, if any, of construction staging areas shall be of the lowest illumination necessary for human safety, selectively placed, shielded, and directed away from adjacent natural habitats.

Addendum to the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH 2014041035) for the Buena Outfall Force Main, Phase III (CIP 8131) 5 BIO-4 The hydroseed mix or landscape mix in areas adjacent to open spaces shall not include any invasive exotic seeds or plants identified on List A and List B of the California Exotic Plant Council’s List of Exotic Plants of Greatest Ecological Concern in California, as of October 1999, and updated if applicable. Implementation of this measure shall be verified by the District during review of the Erosion Control Plans.
BIO-5 In the event that the preferred option of utilizing trenchless construction methods (e.g., jack and bore, directional drilling) for pipeline installation between STA 196+00 and STA 201+48 at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real cannot be implemented, and activities requiring the direct removal, trimming and/or pruning of the eucalyptus and pine trees located along the pipeline alignment at this location are determined necessary for installation, the District shall require that the activities are performed outside of the general breeding season for migratory birds and raptors, which is defined as occurring between January 15 and September 15. If activities requiring the direct removal, trimming and/or pruning of the trees must occur during the general bird breeding season, the District shall retain a qualified biologist to perform a pre- construction survey of the trees to confirm the absence of active nests belonging to migratory birds and raptors afforded protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code. The pre-construction survey shall be performed no more than three days prior to the commencement of removal, trimming, and/or pruning of the eucalyptus and pine trees. If the qualified biologist determines that no active migratory bird or raptor nests occur, the activities shall be allowed to proceed without any further requirements. If the qualified biologist determines that an active migratory bird or raptor nest is present, no impacts shall occur until the young have fledged the nest and the nest is confirmed to no longer be active, as determined by the qualified biologist. Implementation of this measure to ensure compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code shall be verified by the District.
HM-1 The District shall ensure that all trash, debris, and waste materials are disposed of off-site, in accordance with current local, state, and federal disposal regulations, including any containers which may contain paint. Any hazardous materials which may be potentially encountered during construction will be evaluated prior to removal and disposal consistent with the construction HASP and throughout daily construction operations. Any buried trash/debris shall be evaluated by a Qualified Environmental Professional (as defined by 40 Code of Federal Regulation Section 312.10) prior to removal.
HWQ-1 Mitigation measures listed below shall be implemented in order to reduce impacts to jurisdictional waters.
•Prior to construction, the District shall obtain all necessary permits to comply with the federal Clean Water Act, state discharge permitting requirements, and local grading ordinances. Copies of each permit shall be maintained at the project site for the duration of construction.
•Biological Resources mitigation measures BIO-2 and BIO-3 provide mitigation for projects affecting downstream waters and potential wetlands.
N-1 The District or its construction contractors shall develop a Nighttime Noise Mitigation Plan to be implemented within 300 feet of the hotels along the proposed pipeline route. The plan shall be 06/25/2024 C5 Page 14 of 351
Addendum to the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH 2014041035) for the Buena Outfall Force Main, Phase III (CIP 8131) 6 developed in coordination with the hotel management staff. The plan shall include, but not be limited to:
•The contractor shall appoint a construction liaison that shall be responsible for coordinating any/all complaints about construction with District staff and the City of Carlsbad, responding to any local complaints about construction noise, and notifying the hotels regarding dates and the anticipated length of construction. •Installation of temporary noise barriers, when necessary and where feasible, to block the line of sight between major construction noise generating activities and nearby hotel rooms.
•Require construction during daytime hours for the Motel 6 on the western end of the construction route, and any other receptors identified that have high sensitivity to nighttime noise.
•Require contractors to modify nighttime construction activities, as feasible, when they receive complaints from the nearest adjacent receptors. This could include developing schedules so that the loudest activities would occur in the first couple of hours of construction each shift if nighttime construction is utilized.
All of the modifications under the Modified Project would be confined to areas within the original Project boundary and construction footprint identified and analyzed in the 2014 Final IS/MND. None of the refinements in the Modified Project’s design that are described above would result in any new significant effects, increase the severity of any previously identified significant effects or require changes to the adopted mitigation measures.
Therefore, the District has determined that preparation of this Addendum to the 2014 Final IS/MND to satisfy CEQA requirements is appropriate and warranted for the Modified Project.
Please contact Ken Knatz, P.E., Sewer Engineering Manager, at (760) 643-5416 with any questions.

Bidders shall satisfy themselves by personal examination of the location of the proposed Work, and by such other means as they may choose as to actual conditions and requirements, and as to the accuracy of the quantities stated in the BID SCHEDULE. The submission of a bid shall be conclusive evidence that the bidder has investigated and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, as to the character, quality, and scope of work to be performed, as to the quantity of materials to be furnished, and as to the requirements of these Contract Documents.
Information derived from the Plans, Project Specifications, profiles or drawings, maps, other reports, or from the Engineer or his assistants, shall not relieve the bidder of this responsibility, and the interpretation of the data disclosed by borings or other preliminary investigations is not warranted or guaranteed, either expressly or implied, by the Agency. The bidder’s failure or omission to receive or examine any part of the Contract Documents or to visit the site and be familiar with the existing conditions, shall in no way relieve the bidder from obligation with respect to this bid or to the performance of the Work under this Contract.
The quantities of work or material stated in the unit price items of the BID SCHEDULE are supplied only to give an indication of the general scope of the Work. The Agency does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work or material will correspond therewith, but reserves the right to increase or decrease the amount of any unit price item of the Work by an amount up to and including twenty-five percent (25%) of any bid item(s), or to omit portions of such work as may be deemed necessary or expedient by the Engineer without a change in the unit price.
Bidders shall not, at any time after the submission of a bid, make or have any claim for damages or anticipated profits or loss of profit or otherwise because of any difference between the quantities of work actually done and material furnished and those stated in said unit price items of the BID SCHEDULE.
The Bidder understands that the unit prices and total bid amount set forth by the Bidder in the BID SCHEDULE shall include all appurtenant expenses, premiums, taxes, royalties and fees.

d) Project References
e) Contractor’s List of Subcontractors
f) Non-Collusion Declaration
g) Bid Security Form (with bid bond, cash, certified check or cashier’s check included)
Registered bidders may obtain the Contract Documents through the City’s Electronic Bidding System.
Blank spaces in the Bid shall be properly filled in (using figures in the Bid Schedule). The Bid shall contain an acknowledgment of receipt of all addenda. 06/25/2024 C5 Page 30 of 351
9 The phraseology of the Bid must not be changed, and no addition shall be made to the items mentioned therein. Alternative bids shall not be considered unless specifically requested and authorized by the Agency.
The Bid shall be signed in accordance with the “Instructions for Signing Bids, Bonds, and Contracts”, included in the Contract Documents, and as required by the City’s Electronic Bidding System.
.
The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount s et forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item. Unit prices shall not exceed two (2) decimal places.
All extensions of the unit prices bid and sums will be subject to verification by the Agency. If the unit prices entered by the Bidder exceed two (2) decimal places, the Agency will only use the first two (2) digits after the decimal points without rounding up or down.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
b) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the Agency's Final Estimate of cost.
Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the item total shall prevail.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular.

a) A description of both the existing Contract requirements for performing the work and the proposed changes.
b) An itemization of the Contract requirements that must be changed if the proposal is adopted. c) A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the work under the existing Contract and under the proposed change.
d) A statement of the time within which the engineer must make a decision thereon. e) The Contract items of Work affected by the proposed changes, including any quantity variation attributable thereto.
These provisions of this subsection do not require the Engineer to consider any cost reduction proposal which may be submitted hereunder; nor will the Agency be liable to the Contractor for failure to accept or act upon any cost reduction proposal the Contractor has submitted pursuant to this subsection, nor for any delays to the Work attributable to any such proposal.
If a cost reduction proposal is similar to the information included in the Contract Documents or adopted by the Agency after the advertisement for the Contract, the Engineer will not accept such proposal and reserves the right to make such changes without compensation to the Contractor under the provisions of this subsection.
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 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. 06/25/2024 C5 Page 88 of 351
67 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, only the 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.

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 producing the 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 showing the 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.
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 Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and the Construction Staging / Traffic Control Plan have been submitted by the Contractor and accepted by the Engineer, and all other appropriate Contract 06/25/2024 C5 Page 100 of 351
79 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 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 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.
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. 06/25/2024 C5 Page 125 of 351
104
(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 not track 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. (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 during the 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.
06/25/2024 C5 Page 126 of 351

136
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 or cover, using either cast-iron riser rings or pre-cast concrete grade rings.
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 15 inches or more, will be made at the Contract unit price for reconstructing each manhole frame or cover.
If no payment provision for manhole or vault adjustment or reconstruction is made, payment for such work will be considered included in the related items of work, and no additional compensation will be allowed.
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.
06/25/2024 C5 Page 158 of 351
137
Revise this subsection to read as follows:
301-2.4 Measurement and Payment. The quantities of new untreated aggregate base will be calculated using the square footage of the improvements constructed on the base, multiplied by the thickness of the base shown on the plans or specified. 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.”).
To confirm the pay quantities, the Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer at the time of delivery of the material to the job site a legible copy of a licensed weigh master’s certificate showing gross, tare, and net weights of each truckload of untreated base. Failure of the Contractor to provide a certificate to the Engineer by the end of the day on which the material represented by such certificate is delivered to the job site may, at the discretion of the Engineer, result in the forfeiture of all payment for such material, including any labor and equipment costs or related costs included in the price for furnishing and placing the untreated base.
Payment for untreated compacted aggregate base will be made by Bid Price per [TON / CUBIC YARD] as shown in the bid.[NOTE TO SPEC WRITER – IF THE EXISTING BASE CAN BE RE-USED THEN THE MEASUREMENT WILL HAVE TO BE A THEORETICAL CALCULATION] 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.
SECTION 302 – ROADWAY SURFACING
302-1 COLD MILLING OF EXISTING PAVEMENT.
302-1.1 General.
Add the following paragraphs:
For resurfacing, the existing asphalt concrete pavement shall be cold milled for pavement removal, header cuts and edge cuts, as detailed on the Plans and in the City of Vista Carlsbad Cold Milling Details. The Contractor shall cold mill pavement adjacent to all concrete gutters, median curbs, AC Berms, across intersecting side streets, and at the project limits. The cold milled area for edge cuts and header cuts on low-volume side streets will be at the width shown on the Plans, or a minimum of five feet (5’) wide, and tapered from the one and one-half inches (1-1/2”) minimum depth to a depth of zero inches (0”). Header cuts for high-volume side streets and across the main street will be a 06/25/2024 C5 Page 159 of 351
138
minimum of ten feet (10’) wide, tapered from one and one-half inches (1-1/2”) minimum depth to zero inch (0”) depth.
The Contractor shall cold mill around drain grates in the street, to maintain positive drainage toward the drainage structure after new asphalt concrete is placed. Prior to cold milling, the Contractor shall provide covers over all existing storm drain grates and inlets to prevent entry of debris.
The pavement removal thicknesses and resurfacing thicknesses may exceed the thickness of the existing asphalt concrete pavement. The contractor shall remove asphalt concrete, base, subbase, and subgrade materials to the specified depth, using cold milling or other removal methods. The Contractor shall be prepared to perform the required cold milling, removals, subgrade preparation, and compaction work before pavement is replaced, whether the existing asphalt concrete pavement section is thicker or thinner than the specified asphalt concrete pavement section.
Contractor shall furnish one or more cold milling machines operated by experienced workmen.
The surface produced shall have a tolerance so that a ten-foot (10’) straight edge laid laterally will indicate variance of less than three-sixteenth of an inch (3/16”). Removal shall consist of: (1) planning and cutting the pavement to form a keyway header cut; and (2) removing the loosened material.
Loosened material shall be stored on the property of the Contractor and shall be disposed of off-site at the end of each workday.
Directly following the cold milling operation, all asphalt pavement joints within travel lanes that have vertical separation of more than one-half inch (1/2”) shall be ramped with temporary asphalt concrete.

FLA - based on tables 150 or 148 of National Electric Code 2002. Actual motor FLA may vary, for sizing thermal overload, consult factory.
MCA and MOP values shown only account for the motor, not accessories (damper actuator, field supplied VFD, etc.).
SCCR is a rating on components and assemblies representing the maximum level of short-circuit current that a component or assembly can withstand without causing a fire or shock hazard.
