OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to approve a contract award to REM Construction Inc. for the Corporation Yard Phase II O&M Transition Project (CIP 51032).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommend that the City Council:
1) Find that the environmental impacts associated with the approval of a construction contract as well as multiple contracts and contract amendments for construction support and engineering services for the Corporation Yard Project were fully analyzed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for all phases of the Corporation Yard Project and approved by City Council on March 6, 2019, and that the need for subsequent environmental review pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 has not been triggered; 2) Approve an award of Contract with REM Construction Inc for $3,799,744.41 which includes installation of modular transitional buildings, utilities, and miscellaneous amenities for public works operations; and 3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments or change orders up to 20% ($759,948) of the Amendment value.

BACKGROUND
The West Sacramento Corporation Yard (Corp Yard), located at 1951 South River Road, currently houses the City’s Public Works Operations and Maintenance Department and the Maintenance Division of the Parks and Recreation Department (about 70 employees total). The facility dates to the 1960s and was inherited from the East Yolo Community Services District when the City incorporated in 1987. The Corp Yard’s administration buildings, workshops, laydown areas, storage and disposal facilities are far past their operational prime and are significantly constrained to meet the needs of contemporary City operations. The facility is situated on a 9-acre site overlooking the Sacramento River at the southern end of the Pioneer Bluff district, adjacent to the City’s former wastewater treatment plant that was decommissioned in 2008. Combined, the current Corp Yard and former treatment plant properties total 15 acres, all owned by the City. Like the remainder of Pioneer Bluff and the nearby Bridge District, the site has had a land use designation of Waterfront Mixed-Use since the adoption of the City’s first General Plan. For nearly 20 years, plans have been laid to relocate the Corp Yard to a more appropriate part of the city.

In 2005, the City Council approved the purchase of a 22-acre site in Southport at 2935 Ramco Street for a new City Corporation Yard facility (Corp Yard Project) to replace the current Corp Yard and approved a contract with Dreyfus & Blackford Architects for Executive Architect services to develop a design-build solicitation package for the project. The Corp Yard Project, at that time, was designed as a joint use facility to be shared with the Washington Unified School District (WUSD). Subsequently, due to budget constraints related to the economic recession, the project was postponed and the concept of a joint use facility with the school district was eliminated.

The following provides a summary of actions related to the Project since the initial effort to the current state of the project:

2014 December City Council approved the Pioneer Bluff Transition Plan in December 2014 prioritizing the relocation of the existing Corp Yard at 1951 South River Road as a near term opportunity to accelerate the de-industrialization of Pioneer Bluff. 2015 June Port of West Sacramento (Port) acquired a 12.42-acre site at 4300 West Capitol Avenue with the understanding of transferring it to the City for the New Corp Yard. 2016 June The City Council approved a contract with Kappe Architects to provide facility programming, CEQA analysis, schematic design, final bridging documents and design-build support. 2017 April Staff presented the City Council with schematic design and cost estimates for full buildout of the Corp Yard Project. The City Council recommended a redesign and phasing due to budget and short-term financing constraints.
2017 October City Council approved a $5 million contribution to the Corp Yard Project from water and sewer revenue bonds.
2018 January The Port of West Sacramento closed escrow on the 2935 Ramco Street property with net proceeds of $3.2 million and transferred the funds to the Corp Yard Project fund. 2018 May The City Council approved amendments to the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal year 2018-19, including an $8.2 million appropriation, with the agreement to transfer funds to the new Corp Yard project.
2020 April D.G. Granade submitted the lowest responsible base bid of $9,738,048 for Corporation Yard Project Phase One construction which was completed in 2022 2020 June Staff provided an accounting for the existing Project budget and, in working with Finance, was able to develop a proposed funding plan for the Project to move forward. 2022 July Project staff, along with staff from Flood and RD 900, worked to assess the storm water drainage opportunities and costs of a newly planned levee improvement (federal project) adjacent to the new Corp Yard site.
2022 July Finance acquired an ARPA grant to fund phase II of the Corp Yard project which included installation of temporary modular buildings at the new site and to expedite the transitional plan while final design and cost estimates for fleet and office buildings were being developed.
2023 January Kappe Architects along with City Staff completed a bid packet and cost estimate for phase II of the Corp Yard Project along with updated design and layout of the transitional buildings, utilities, parking, signage and shade structure.

2023 March The Corp Yard Phase II project was advertised for potential construction.

CORPORATION YARD PHASE I
The new Corp Yard Project site used the traditional design, bid, and build methodology. A master plan for the new site and the original construction cost estimate and funding for the Phase One Project improvements was prepared by Kappe Architects and their sub-consultants along with staff consultation in 2016. The design and cost estimate have since been updated several times to reflect events of the timeline of this report.

Upon completion of phase one, the Corp Yard Project was an independent and fully functioning operation with the following scope:
 Complete site utility infrastructure (energy/communications/water/sewer) including stubbed connections for future building footprints, including the future administration building and shop/vehicle maintenance structures (Project Phase Two);
6 REM Construction Inc Corporation Yard Phase II O&M Transition Project June 28, 2023

 Multi-beneficial bioswale design strategy that will both provide structural integrity to the whole of the site, necessitated due to poor soil conditions, and will also contribute to the storm water filtration of approximately 726,000 cubic feet of industrial use water runoff per year (or 5,430,857.14 gallons) which would otherwise go untreated into the City stormwater system;  Complete site surfacing, including sections for heavy equipment parking and storage;  Decant facility for Vactor truck/sweeper spoils processing;  Material storage facilities and covered waste transfer;  Full perimeter security fencing, yard lighting and security cameras;  Design allows for a future improvement phase to produce up to approximately 4MW (Mega Watts) of onsite solar electricity, battery storage, and provision for fleet electrification, which could power all onsite operations and offset major City facility power use, such as the Water Treatment plant which lacks sufficient land for renewable energy production.

Capital Projects and Public Works staff determined that it was in the best interests of the City to move the project forward with the next project phase considering the escalating costs of materials, equipment and services. This step would also free up the Pioneer Bluff/Riverfront for redevelopment and create more revenue streams for future City development.

CORPORATION YARD PHASE II
The Corporation Yard Phase II O&M Transition Project will offer improved operational productivity and safety by transitioning select operations from Pioneer Bluff to the new site at 4300 West Capitol Avenue. This transition will enhance security, efficiency, and productivity by providing essential space needed to ease congestion at the existing facility and through the installation of modern security systems at the new site.

A new decant facility to process spoil materials from sweeper and Vactor truck operations will allow decommissioning of the existing non-compliant decant facility, which occupies a valuable site on the riverfront at the existing Corp Yard location. Relocating the decant facility will also enable Economic Development staff to use recently awarded EPA brownfield grant funds to assess the facility footprint and plan for its cleanup and backfill for future development. The new decant facility will be compact and compliant with all state and federal guidelines for spoils processing.

The new Corp Yard site with its large covered and uncovered areas will allow for efficient stocking of materials and staging of heavy equipment. This will improve control of inventory for both daily and emergency operations.

Currently, material storage areas are extremely limited, creating the need for material to be delivered on an ad hoc basis.

Modern waste transfer operations will be enabled at the new site with efficient storm water-compliant facilities constructed with permanent covers. These facilities will reduce staff time covering and uncovering open dumpsters, and elevated truck access will eliminate the current practice of double-handling waste.

The upcoming transition project will allow for the Corp Yard to move to a more appropriate part of the City and will pave way for the Waterfront Mixed-Use designation adopted in the City’s first General Plan.

ANALYSIS
The Capital Projects Department conducted a competitive bid to select a contractor for the Corporation Yard Phase II O&M Transition Project (CIP 51032). The project bid included the installation of transitional modular buildings to accommodate Public Works O&M administrative, operations and maintenance staff and storage areas. In addition, the project includes the installation of water, sewer, electric, and telecommunication service hookups. On March 29, 2023, the bid package was advertised in the local paper. The bid package was also posted on the City’s website and through the City’s electronic procurement platform OpenGov.com. At the close of the advertising period, City staff received three (3) bids that were opened on May 11, 2023. 7 REM Construction Inc Corporation Yard Phase II O&M Transition Project June 28, 2023

The bid results were as follows:

Table 1
Rank Contractor Base Bid Amount
1 REM Construction Inc. $3,799,744.41
2 Mobile Modular $4,398,425.00
3 Pacific Mobile Structures Inc. $4,527,482.90
All three bids came in higher than anticipated and debrief meetings were held with all the bidders to clearly understand the price variances. It was determined that the bids represented the high cost of materials, labor and uncertainties in the industry.

After examining the Contractor’s licenses, work experience, qualifications and proposals submitted in each of the complete bid packages, staff determined that REM Construction Inc. is the lowest responsive and qualified bidder, with a total bid of $3,799,744.41. On this basis, staff recommends awarding the construction contract to REM Construction Inc.

Environmental Considerations
The environmental impacts associated with the approval of a construction contract as well as multiple contracts and contract amendments for construction support and engineering services for the Corporation Yard Project were fully analyzed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for all phases of the Corporation Yard Project and approved by City Council on March 6, 2019. The need for subsequent environmental review pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 has not been triggered.

Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.

Strategic Plan Integration
The project and recommended actions support the City’s Mission of providing Municipal Services and Quality City Infrastructure and Facilities. This is consistent with the City Council’s goal for a Financially Sound City Government and to provide Quality City Services.

Alternatives
The City Council may decide to:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above ;
2) Make changes to recommended actions; or
3) Defer the project to a later date or eliminate the project.

Staff recommends Alternative 1 as the best way to transition the Corp Yard functions to the new facility on 4300 West Capitol Avenue allowing for redevelopment of the Pioneer Bluff facility and making the Corp Yard more functional. It will be more cost effective for the City to complete the updates now rather than later, due to inflation and rising cost of materials and services. Additionally, this project is funded using federal American Rescue Plan Act funds which must be obligated and spent within a short timeframe.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with and review by the Public Works Operations and Maintenance Department and the Finance Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
The budget/cost impact for the construction of the Corporation Yard Phase II O&M Transition Project plus contingencies is currently funded by a 2022/2023 budget appropriation and an amendment to the CIP utilizing ARPA funds.

1. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE)
The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunity to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26). To ensure equal participation of DBEs provided in 49 CFR

26.5, the Agency shows a contract goal for DBEs. The prime contractor shall make work available to DBEs and select work parts consistent with available DBE subcontractors and suppliers.

The prime contractor shall meet the DBE goal shown elsewhere in these special provisions or demonstrate that they made adequate good faith efforts to meet this goal.

It is the prime contractor’s responsibility to verify that the DBE firm is certified as DBE at date of bid opening and document the record by printing out the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) data for each DBE firm. A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found here:
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/civil-rights/dbe-search
All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal.

Credit for materials or supplies the prime contractor purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer.  60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE regular dealer.  Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer."
The prime contractor receives credit towards the goal if they employ a DBE trucking company that performs a commercially useful function as defined in 49 CFR 26.55(d)(1) as follows:
 The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on a particular contract, and there cannot be a contrived arrangement for the purpose of meeting DBE goals.
 The DBE must itself own and operate at least one fully licensed, insured, and operational truck used on the contract.
 The DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it provides on the Contract using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using drivers it employs.  The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm, including an owner-operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the Contract.
 The DBE may lease trucks without drivers from a non-DBE truck leasing company. If the DBE leases trucks from a non-DBE truck leasing company and uses its own employees as drivers, it is entitled to credit for the total value of these hauling services.
 A lease must indicate that the DBE has exclusive use of and control over the truck. This does not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the DBE, so long as the lease gives the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE.
a. Nondiscrimination Statement
The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor will never exclude any person from participation in, deny any person the benefits of, or otherwise discriminate against anyone in connection with the award and performance of any contract covered by 49 CFR 26 on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin. In administering the Local Agency components of the DBE Program Plan, the contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor will not, directly, or through contractual or other arrangements, use criteria or methods of administration that have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the DBE Program Plan with respect to individuals of a particular race, color, sex, or national origin.
b. Contract Assurance
Under 49 CFR 26.13(b):
24 Attachment 1 Contract
CPC23-142 REM Construction - Corpyard Project Phase II O&M Transition Federal-Aid Contract
Page | 2-4
The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible. c. Prompt Progress Payment
The prime contractor or subcontractor shall pay to any subcontractor, not later than seven days after receipt of each progress payment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the respective amounts allowed the contractor on account of the work performed by the subcontractors, to the extent of each subcontractor’s interest therein. In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from the prime contractor or subcontractor to a subcontractor, the prime contractor or subcontractor may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount. Any violation of this requirement shall constitute a cause for disciplinary action and shall subject the licensee to a penalty, payable to the subcontractor, of 2 percent of the amount due per month for every month that payment is not made.

In any action for the collection of funds wrongfully withheld, the prevailing party shall be entitled to his or her attorney’s fees and costs. The sanctions authorized under this requirement shall be separate from, and in addition to, all other remedies, either civil, administrative, or criminal. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors.
d. Prompt Payment of Withheld Funds to Subcontractors
The Agency may hold retainage from the prime contractor and shall make prompt and regular incremental acceptances of portions, as determined by the Agency, of the contract work, and pay retainage to the prime contractor based on these acceptances. The Agency shall designate one of the methods below in the contract to ensure prompt and full payment of any retainage kept by the prime contractor or subcontractor to a subcontractor.

The Agency shall include either Method 1, Method 2, or Method 3 below and delete the other two.

Method 1: No retainage will be held by the Agency from progress payments due to the prime contractor. Prime contractors and subcontractors are prohibited from holding retainage from subcontractors. Any delay or postponement of payment may take place only for good cause and with the Agency’s prior written approval. Any violation of these provisions shall subject the violating contractor or subcontractor to the penalties, sanctions, and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code and Section 10262 of the California Public Contract Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative or judicial remedies, otherwise available to the contractor or subcontractor in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the contractor, deficient subcontractor performance and/or noncompliance by a subcontractor. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors.

Method 2: No retainage will be held by the Agency from progress payments due to the prime contractor. Any retainage kept by the prime contractor or by a subcontractor must be paid in full to the earning subcontractor within seven (7) days after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment may take place only for good cause and with the Agency’s prior written approval. Any violation of these provisions shall subject the violating contractor or subcontractor to the penalties, sanctions, and remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code and Section 10262 of the California Public Contract Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative or judicial remedies, otherwise available to the contractor or subcontractor in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the contractor, deficient subcontractor performance and/or noncompliance by a subcontractor. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors.

Method 3: The Agency shall hold retainage from the prime contractor and shall make prompt and regular incremental acceptances of portions, as determined by the Agency of the contract work and pay retainage to the prime contractor based on these acceptances. The prime contractor or subcontractor shall return all monies withheld in retention from all subcontractors within seven (7) days after receiving payment for work satisfactorily completed and accepted including incremental acceptances of portions of the contract work by 25 Attachment 1 Contract

e. Termination and Substitution of DBE Subcontractors
The prime contractor shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless the contractor obtains the Agency’s written consent. The prime contractor shall not terminate or substitute a listed DBE for convenience and perform the work with their own forces or obtain materials from other sources without prior written authorization from the Agency. Unless the Agency’s prior written consent is provided, the contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE on the Exhibit 15-G Construction Contract DBE Commitment form, included in the Bid.

The Agency authorizes a request to use other forces or sources of materials if the bidder shows any of the following justifications:

1. Listed DBE fails or refuses to execute a written contract based on plans and specifications for the project.

2. The Local Agency stipulated that a bond is a condition of executing the subcontract and the listed DBE fails to meet the Local Agency’s bond requirements.

3. Work requires a contractor's license and listed DBE does not have a valid license under Contractors License Law.

4. Listed DBE fails or refuses to perform the work or furnish the listed materials (failing or refusing to perform is not an allowable reason to remove a DBE if the failure or refusal is a result of bad faith or discrimination).

6. CHANGED CONDITIONS
a. Differing Site Conditions

1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.

2. Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.

3. No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice.

4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work. (This provision may be omitted by the Local Agency, at their option.) b. Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer

1. If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.

2. Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.

3. No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed.

4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

The engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered.

2. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable.

3. If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract.

4. The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:
 When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or
 When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed.

The primary objective of this section is to train and upgrade minorities and women toward journeyman status. The prime contractor shall make every effort to enroll minority and women apprentices or trainees, such as conducting systematic and direct recruitment through public and private sources likely to yield minority and women apprentices or trainees, to the extent they are available within a reasonable recruitment area and show that they have made the efforts. In making these efforts, the prime contractor shall not discriminate against any applicant for training.

The prime contractor shall not employ as an apprentice or trainee an employee:

9. Interpretation of Contract Documents
Any explanation desired by the bidders regarding the meaning or interpretation of any of the Contract Documents must be submitted in writing at least five (5) calendar days prior to the Bid opening. Requests for clarification received after the above noted deadline may be answered at the discretion of the Engineer or Project Manager. Any such explanations or interpretations will be made in the form of Addenda to the documents and will be furnished to all bidders who shall submit all Addenda with their Bids. Neither the Engineer nor any representative of the City is authorized to give oral explanations or interpretations of Contract Documents, and a submission of a Bid constitutes agreement by the Bidder that it has placed no reliance on any such oral explanation or interpretation.

However, the Engineer may, upon inquiry by bidder, orally direct the bidder’s attention to specific provisions of the Contract Documents which cover the subject of the inquiry.

Requests for Clarifications during the Bid period shall submitted electronically through the City’s ProcureNow system at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/cityofwestsacramento

10. Modification of Bids
A Bidder may modify its Bid by written communication provided such communication is received by the City prior to the closing time for receipt of Bids. The written communication should not reveal the Bid price but should state the addition or subtraction or other modification so that the final prices or terms will not be known by the City until the sealed Bid is opened.

11. Withdrawals of Bids
Bids may be withdrawn without prejudice by written or facsimile requests received from Bidder prior to the time for opening of Bids, and Bids so withdrawn will be returned to bidders unopened when reached in the process of opening Bids. No Bid may be withdrawn after the hour affixed for opening Bids without rendering the accompanying Bid Security subject to retention as liquidated damages in like manner as in the case of failure to execute the Contract after award, as in the Contract 55 Bid Documents
Page | 3-7
Documents herein provided. Negligence on the part of the Bidder preparing its Bid shall not constitute a right to withdraw the Bid subsequent to the opening of Proposals.

12. Discrepancies
In the case of discrepancy between unit prices and totals, unit prices will prevail and the City will recalculate the Bid total based on the unit prices and estimated quantities. In case of discrepancy between words and figures, words will prevail.

13. Servicing and Maintenance
Each Bidder must, if requested, furnish evidence that there is an efficient service organization which regularly carries a stock of repair parts for the proposed equipment to be furnished and installed in the work and that the organization is conveniently located for prompt service.

14. Disqualification of Bidders
(a) More than one Bid from an individual, firm, partnership or corporation under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any individual, firm, partnership or corporation is interested in more than one Bid for the work contemplated may cause the rejection of all Bids in which the individual, firm, partnership or corporation is interested. If there is reason for believing that collusion exists among the bidders, any or all Bids may be rejected. Bids in which the price is obviously unbalanced may be rejected. (b) All bidders are put on notice that any collusive agreement fixing the prices to be Bid so as to control or affect the awarding of this Contract is in violation of the competitive bidding requirements of the Public Contract Code and may render void any Contract let under such circumstances.

15. Opening & Award of Contract
Bids will be opened publicly and read aloud at the time and date established in the invitation to Bidders. Bid Summaries may be made available to Bidders after the Bid Date. (a) The City reserves the right to accept or reject any and all Bids for a period of sixty (60) days after the date of opening, and to waive any informality or irregularity in any Bid. No Bid can be withdrawn during that period, except pursuant to Public Contract Code section 5102, et seq. (b) The City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including, without limitation, the right to reject any non-conforming, non-responsive, unbalanced, or conditional bids. (c) Before a Bid is considered for award, the City may, in addition to the Experience & Qualifications form included in the Bid documents, require a Bidder to submit a statement of facts and detail as to its business, technical organization and financial resources and equipment available and to be used in performing the work. Additionally, the City may require evidence that the Bidder has performed other work of comparable magnitude and type. The City expressly reserves the right to reject any Bid if it determines that the business and technical organization, equipment, financial and other resources or other experience of the Bidder (including the bidder’s Subcontractors) is not sufficiently qualified for the work Bid upon and, therefore, justifies such rejection.
(d) The award of the Contract, if it is awarded, will be to the lowest responsive responsible Bidder whose Bid complies with the requirements set forth herein. 56 Bid Documents
Page | 3-8
(e) The issuance by the City of a notice to the successful Bidder of the award of the Contract (“Notice of Award”) shall be deemed the Award of Contract.

16. Bid Protests
The lack of a prompt procedure to resolve disputes regarding the bidding process would impair the City’s ability to carry out its purpose of constructing this project in a timely manner. Therefore, to the maximum extent authorized by law and notwithstanding any other procedures specified in documents referenced herein, all disputes and/or protests regarding the bidding process shall be subject to the following procedure. In submitting a Bid to the City for this project, the Bidder agrees to comply with and to be bound by this procedure.

Any Bid protest must be submitted in writing to the Director of Capital Projects Department of the City of West Sacramento before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) working day following Bid opening. (a) The initial protest document must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest, and all supporting documentation.
(b) The party filing the protest must have actually submitted a Bid for the Work. A Subcontractor of a party submitting a Bid for the Work may not submit a Bid protest. A party may not rely on the Bid protest submitted by another Bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest. (c) The protest must refer to the specific portion of the Contract Documents which forms the basis for the protest.
(d) The protest must include the name, address and telephone number of the person representing the protesting party.
(e) The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the initial protest document and any attached documentation to all other parties with a direct financial interest which may be adversely affected by the outcome of the protest. Such parties shall include all other Bidders who appear to have a reasonable prospect of receiving an award depending upon the outcome of the protest.
(f) The City will give the protested Bidder five (5) working days after the receipt of the protest to submit a written response. The responding Bidder shall transmit the response to the protesting Bidder concurrent with delivery to the City.
(g) The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are mandatory and are the Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Bid protest. The Bidder’s failure to comply with these procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue the Bid protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings.
(h) If the City determines that a protest is frivolous, the protesting Bidder may be determined to be non-responsible and that Bidder may be determined to be ineligible for future contract awards. 57 Bid Documents
Page | 3-9

17. Contract Bonds
(a) The successful Bidder shall furnish both a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of its Total Bid Price. (b) These Bonds shall be furnished in the forms enclosed following the Contract and shall be satisfactory to the City and shall be obtained from a responsible corporate surety (or sureties) acceptable to the City, which is admitted by the State of California to act as surety upon bonds and undertakings and which maintains in this State at least one office for the conduct of its business. The surety (or sureties) shall furnish reports as to its financial condition from time to time as requested by the City. The premiums for said Bonds shall be paid by the successful bidder.
(c) These Bonds shall be furnished by companies who are authorized and licensed by the Insurance Commissioner as an “admitted surety insurer.” The surety shall provide the City with the documentation required by Section 995.660 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. (d) If any surety becomes unacceptable to the City or fails to furnish reports as to its financial condition as requested by the City, the Contractor shall promptly furnish such additional security as may be required from time to time to protect the interests of the City and of persons supplying labor or materials in the prosecution of the work contemplated by this Contract. (e) In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Contract and the terms of the Bonds, the terms of the Contract shall control and the Bonds shall be deemed to be amended thereby.

Without limiting the foregoing, the City shall be entitled to exercise all rights granted to it by the Contract in the event of default, without control thereof by the surety, provided that the City gives the surety notice of such default at the time or before the exercise of any such right by the City, and, regardless of the terms of said Bonds, the exercise of any such right by the City shall in no manner affect the liability of the surety under said Bonds.

18. Substitution of Securities for Monies Withheld
Bidders are hereby notified that in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract Code section 22300, securities may be substituted for any monies which the City may withhold pursuant to the terms of the Contract to insure performance.

19. Execution of Contract
The successful Bidder will be notified in writing by the City of the award of the Contract within sixty (60) days after opening of Bids. Accompanying the City’s Notice of Award will be the Contract, in triplicate, which the successful Bidder will be required to execute and return, together with the Performance Bond and Payment Bond, and the required certificates and policies of insurance together with the required endorsements thereto for the Contractor and the workers compensation certificate to the City within ten (10) days following receipt of such Notice of Award. Failure to do so shall be just cause for annulment of the award and for forfeiture of the Bid Security which shall be retained as liquidated damages, and it is agreed that the bond sum is a fair estimate of the amount of damages that the City will sustain by reason of such failure. The City will promptly determine whether such Contract, Bonds and insurance are as required by the Contract Documents, and upon such determination will forward a fully executed copy of the Contract and a Notice to Proceed with the work to the successful bidder. Signature by both parties constitutes execution of the Contract. In the event of failure of the lowest responsible Bidder to sign and return the Contract with acceptable Bonds and insurance as prescribed herein, the City may award the Contract to the next lowest responsible bidder, and, in the event that Bidder fails to sign and return the Contract with acceptable 58 Bid Documents
Page | 3-10
Bonds and insurance, the City may award the Contract to the then next lowest responsible bidder, etc.

20. Return of Bid Securities
All Bid Securities will be held until the Contract has been finally executed, after which all Bid Securities, other than any Securities which have been forfeited, will be returned to the respective bidders.

BID SCHEDULE
Bids are to be submitted for the entire work, including the Base Bid and all Added Alternatives. The contract will be awarded on the basis of the lowest, responsive, responsible bid for the sum of the Base bid and Added Alternatives.

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 set forth under the "Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.

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) (Decimal Errors) 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 City's Final Estimate of cost.

If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. In case of discrepancy between words and figures, words will prevail.

Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. 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 items total shall prevail.

The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the City, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the City to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the City respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.

The following quantities are approximate only and are given for the purpose of comparing proposals. The City does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work will correspond with quantities given herein, but reserves the right to increase or decrease the amount of any class or portion of the work as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Engineer. Payment will be based upon the actual quantities installed or constructed, unless otherwise specified.

Payment for items shown on the plans, or which by their nature are necessarily appurtenant to such items, and for which there is no bid item, shall be considered included in the various pay items of work, and no additional compensation shall be allowed therefor.

FEDERAL WAGE RATES
The payment of federal prevailing wage rates on federal-aid contracts is derived from the DavisBacon Act of 1931 and is prescribed by 23 USC 113. Contractors and subcontractors must pay laborers and mechanics employed directly upon the site of the work at least the locally prevailing wages (including fringe benefits) for the work performed.

The Davis-Bacon "prevailing wage" is the combination of the basic hourly rate and any fringe benefits listed in a Davis-Bacon wage determination. The contractor’s obligation to pay at least the prevailing wage listed in the contract wage determination can be met by paying each laborer and mechanic the applicable prevailing wage entirely as cash wages or by a combination of cash wages and employer-provided bona fide fringe benefits. Prevailing wages, including fringe benefits, must be paid on all hours worked on the site of the work.

Apprentices or trainees may be employed at less than the rates listed in the contract wage determination only when they are in an apprenticeship program registered with the Department of Labor or with a state apprenticeship agency recognized by the Department.

Contractors and subcontractors are required to pay covered workers weekly and submit weekly certified payroll records to the contracting agency. They are also required to post the applicable Davis-Bacon wage determination with the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) on the job site in a prominent and accessible place where they can be easily seen by the workers.

The federal prevailing wage rates are available directly from the System for Award Management (SAM) Home Page at https://sam.gov/content/wage-determinations Federal “prevailing wage” rates are not physically incorporated in the bid documents. The City of West Sacramento shall comply with the federal “10-day rule”, where the City of West Sacramento will issue to bidders as an addendum the current federal wage rates within ten days prior to bid opening.

SECTION 2

SCOPE OF WORK

2.01. INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
The intent of the Contract Documents is to prescribe the details for the construction and completion of the Work, which the Contractor undertakes to perform in accordance with the terms of the Contract. These General Conditions are meant to replace Division I of the State Standard Specifications for all City public works contracts which incorporate these General Conditions by reference.

Where the Specifications and Plans describe portions of the Work in general terms, but not in complete detail, it is understood that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only materials and workmanship of the first quality are to be used. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment and incidentals and do all the Work involved in performing the Contract in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner.

The technical provisions are presented in sections for convenience. However, this presentation does not necessarily delineate trades or limits of responsibility. All sections of the Specifications and Plans are interdependent and applicable to the Project as a whole.

The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is called for in any one shall be as binding as if called for in all. Anything shown on the Drawings and not mentioned in the Specifications or mentioned in the Specifications and not shown on the Drawings shall have the same effect as if shown or mentioned respectively in both. Any work shown on one Drawing shall be construed to be shown in all Drawings and the Contractor will coordinate the Work and the Drawings.

If any portion of the Contract Documents shall be in conflict with any other portion, the various documents comprising the Contract Documents shall govern in the following order of precedence, unless otherwise specified: Change Orders; Addenda; Shop Drawings, Drawings, Supplementary and Special Conditions; Designation of Subcontractors; Construction Contract; General Conditions; City of West Sacramento Standard Specifications; State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications 2018.

Detail Drawings take precedence over General Drawings. As between schedules and other information given on Drawings, the Schedules shall govern. If an item is shown on any Drawing and not specifically included in Technical Specifications specific to this project, the Drawing shall govern. Any conflict or inconsistency between or in the drawings shall be submitted to the Engineer for clarification as soon as the Contractor becomes aware of such inconsistency.

2.02. CONTRACTOR’S UNDERSTANDING
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examination, satisfied itself as to the nature and location of the Work, the conformation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of the materials to be encountered, the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of the Work, the general and local conditions, and all other matters which can in any way affect the Work under this Contract. No verbal agreement or conversation with any officer, agent or employee of the City, either before or after the execution of this Contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations contained herein.
123
General Conditions
Page | 5-10

2.03. CHANGES IN THE WORK
(a) The City may, at any time, by written order, make changes in the Work as deemed necessary by the Engineer. Such changes include, but are not limited to:
(1) In the Specifications or Plans;
(2) In the sequence, method or manner of performance of the Work; (3) In the owner-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services or site; and (4) Directing acceleration of the Work.
(b) If such changes cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of the Contract, an equitable adjustment will be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly.
(1) Change Orders
A change pursuant to this section will be in the form of a Change Order, which will set forth the work to be done or the method by which the change and cost adjustment, if any, will be determined, and the time of completion of the work.

Upon receipt of a Change Order, the Contractor shall proceed with the ordered work. If ordered in writing by the Engineer, the Contractor shall proceed with the work so ordered prior to actual receipt of a Change Order.

A Change Order executed by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer is an executed Change Order as that term is used throughout this section. (2) Change Order Protests
A Change Order may be issued to the Contractor at any time. Should the Contractor disagree with any terms or conditions set forth in a Change Order, which he has not executed, he shall submit a written protest to the Engineer within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such Change Order.

The protest shall state the points of disagreement and, if possible, the quantities and cost involved.

If a written protest is not submitted, payment will be made as set forth in the Change Order. Such payment shall constitute full compensation for all work included therein or required thereby. Such unprotested Change Orders shall be considered as executed Change Orders.

Where the protest concerning a Change Order relates to compensation, the compensation payable for all work specified or required by said Change Order to which such protest relates will be determined in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 of this section. The Contractor shall keep full and complete records of the cost of such work and shall permit the Engineer to have such access thereto as may be necessary to assist in the determination of the compensation payable for such work. Where the protest concerning a Change Order relates to the adjustment of time and for completion of the Work, the time to be allowed therefor will be determined as provided in this section.
124
General Conditions
Page | 5-11
The consent of the Contractor’s sureties shall not be required as to any change or Extra Work, and the liability of the Contractor’s Bonds shall be increased or decreased accordingly without notice to the sureties.

2.04. PROCEDURES AND ALLOWABLE COSTS ON CHANGES AND ADDITIONS TO WORK
(a) Forms of Payment
If the change in, or addition to, the Work will result in an increase in the contract sum, the City shall have the right to require the performance thereof. The compensation to be paid for any such work shall, in the City’s sole discretion, be determined in one or more of the following ways:
(1) By extension of agreed unit prices, if unit prices are required by the City’s Bid form and provided with Contractor ‘s bid;
(2) By revision of unit prices;
(3) By proposal and Acceptance of an agreed upon lump sum; and (4) On a force account basis.

Until one of the above methods is agreed on, or if the Work is to be paid for on a time and materials basis, the Contractor shall keep full and complete records of the cost of such work in the form and manner prescribed by the Engineer and shall permit the Engineer to have access to such records as may be necessary to assist in the determination of the compensation payable for such work. (b) Lump Sum Payment
The City, in its sole and absolute discretion, may request a lump sum proposal by Contractor to perform the change in, or addition to, the Work performed. Such lump sum proposal shall be submitted by the Contractor within ten (10) days of the City’s request therefor. Request for a lump sum proposal by City shall not be deemed an election by City to have the Work performed on a lump sum basis.

Costs of preparing the proposal shall not be compensable. (1) Contents of Lump Sum Proposal
(2) The Contractor’s proposal shall be itemized and segregated by labor and materials for the various components of the change (no aggregate labor total will be acceptable). The proposal shall be accompanied by signed proposals of any Subcontractors, which will perform any portion of the change, and of any persons who will furnish materials or equipment for incorporation therein. The proposal shall also include the Contractor’s estimate of the time required to perform said changes or additional work. (3) Computation of Labor Costs
The portion of the proposal relating to labor, whether by the Contractor’s forces or the forces of any of its Subcontractors, may include the projected wages of the reasonably anticipated Site labor, including foremen, who will be directly involved in the change in the Work. These projected wages shall not include charges for assistant superintendents, 125
General Conditions
Page | 5-12
superintendents, office personnel, timekeepers and maintenance mechanics.

Labor costs may also include Contractor’s overhead and profit which shall be computed by adding to the labor costs either up to fifteen percent (15%) of the projected wages, but not payroll costs, or the labor surcharge set forth in the California Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge And Equipment Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date upon which the Work is accomplished and which is a part of the Contract. The method of computing the overhead and profit shall be solely within the discretion of the City.

The labor surcharge, if used, shall constitute full compensation for all payments imposed by State and Federal laws and for all other payments made to, or on behalf of, the workmen, other than actual wages as defined above. No time or charges will be allowed except when the workers are actually engaged in the proper, efficient and diligent performance or completion of the extra work as authorized. Overtime shall not be worked without prior approval of the Engineer. (4) Computation of Equipment and Materials Costs
The portion of the proposal relating to materials may include the reasonably anticipated direct costs to the Contractor or to any of its Subcontractors of materials to be purchased for incorporation in the change in the Work. This portion of the proposal may also include transportation and applicable sales or use taxes. Up to fifteen percent (15%) of these direct costs may be included as overhead and profit for the Contractor or any such Subcontractor (such overhead and profit to include all small tools).

This portion of the proposal may further include the Contractor’s and any of its Subcontractors’ reasonably anticipated costs for the rental and operation of prime construction and automotive equipment furnished and used in connection with the change in the Work. The equipment rental and operation rates used shall be the latest edition of the Department of Transportation, Division of Construction, Equipment Rental Rates. These costs shall not include charges for listed equipment or major tools with a new cost of five hundred dollars ($500.00) or less. No time charges shall be allowed except for equipment actually used for the proper and efficient performance or completion of the authorized change in the Work. (5) Subcontractors
The lump sum proposal may include up to five percent (5%) of the amount, which the Contractor will pay to any of its Subcontractors for the change in the Work as allowable overhead and profit to the Contractor. (6) Failure to Submit Lump Sum Proposal
In the event that the Contractor fails to submit its proposal within the designated period, the Engineer may direct the Contractor to proceed with the change or addition to the Work and the Contractor shall so proceed. The Engineer shall unilaterally determine the reasonable costs and time to perform the work in question, which determination shall be final and binding upon the Contractor.
126
General Conditions
Page | 5-13
(7) Failure to Agree on Lump Sum Amount
In the event that the parties are unable to agree as to the reasonable costs and time to perform the change in or addition to the Work based upon the Contractor’s proposal and the Engineer and City do not elect to have the change in the Work performed on a time and material basis, the Engineer and City shall make a unilateral determination of the reasonable cost and time to perform the change in the Work, based upon their own estimates, the Contractor’s submission or combination thereof. In such instances, a Change Order shall be issued for the amount of costs and time determined by the Engineer and the City and shall become binding upon the Contractor unless the Contractor submits its protest in writing to the City within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the Change Order. The City has the right to direct the Contractor in writing to perform the change in the Work, which is the subject of the Change Order. Failure of the parties to reach agreement regarding the costs and time of performing the change in the Work and/or any pending protest shall not relieve the Contractor from performing the change in the Work promptly and expeditiously.
(c) Payment by Unit Prices
If any of the items included in the lump sum proposal are covered by unit prices contained in the contract document, the City may, if it requires the change in the Work to be performed on a lump sum basis, elect to use these unit prices in lieu of the similar items included in the lump sum proposal in which event an appropriate deduction will be made in the lump sum amount prior to the application of any allowed overhead and profit percentages. No overhead and profit shall be applied to any unit prices.
(d) Payment on a Force Account Basis
If the City elects to have the change or addition to the Work performed on a force account basis, the Work shall be performed, whether by the Contractor’s forces or the forces of any of its Subcontractors or Sub-Subcontractors, and payment shall be made subject to the following provision. The Contractor will be paid the direct costs of the labor, equipment and materials used in performing the force account work determined as hereinafter provided.
(1) For labor, the Contractor will be paid the cost of labor for the workers (including foremen when authorized by the Engineer or Project Manager) used in the actual and direct performance of the work. The cost of labor, whether the employer is the Contractor or any or any Subcontractor of any tier, shall be actual wages, including basic hourly wage, health and welfare payments and pension payments incurred in performing the force account work, plus any travel and subsistence payments for the workers performing such work and made necessary thereby. To the actual wages shall be added a labor surcharge as set forth in the State Department of Transportation publication entitled “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates”, as in effect on the date the work is performed. The labor surcharge shall be deemed to encompass the City’s entire liability to reimburse the Contractor for workers compensation insurance payments, social security payments, Medicare payments, federal unemployment insurance payments, state unemployment insurance payments and state training taxes, made necessary by the force account work. 127
General Conditions
Page | 5-14
(2) For equipment, the Contractor will be paid for the use of equipment at the rental rates listed for that equipment in the State Department of Transportation publication entitled “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates”, which is in effect on the date the work is performed, regardless of ownership or any rental agreement entered into by Contractor for such equipment. The rental rate paid in accord with said publication shall be deemed to include the cost of fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, attachments, repairs and maintenance, depreciation, storage and insurance for said equipment. Rental time will not be paid when equipment is inoperable due to breakdowns, repairs or maintenance. Payment for loading, transporting and unloading time will be in accordance with the State Standard Specifications applicable to loading, transporting and unloading equipment for force account work, as applicable as of the date the equipment is loaded, transported or unloaded.
(3) For materials used in the work, the City will pay for materials furnished by the Contractor and necessarily used in the force account work. Prior to markups as set forth below, the amount paid shall be the price paid by the actual purchaser to the actual supplier plus any necessary actual costs of handling the materials.

Contractor may add fifteen percent (15%) to the total labor, equipment and material charges as the total overhead and profit to the entity or entities actually performing the force account work. If the entity or entities actually performing the work are Subcontractors or Sub-Subcontractors, the Contractor shall be allowed five percent (5%) of the total charge of the performing entity or entities (including mark- up) as Contractor’s mark-up.

No other mark-ups shall be allowed hereunder.

The Contractor shall submit to the City daily work and material tickets, to include the identification number assigned to the change in the Work, the location and description of the change in the Work, the classification of labor employed (and names and social security numbers), hours expended, the material used, the equipment rented (not tools) and such other evidence of cost as the City may require. The City may require authentication of all time and material tickets and invoices by persons designated by the City for such purpose. The failure of the Contractor to secure any required authentication shall, if the City elects to treat it as such, constitute a waiver by the Contractor of any claim for the cost of that portion of the Change in the Work covered by a non-authenticated ticket or invoice; provided, however, that the authentication of any such ticket or invoice by the City shall not constitute an acknowledgment by the City that the items thereon were reasonably required for the Change in the Work.
(e) Limitations on Changes
The Contractor shall not be entitled to any amount for indirect costs, damages or expenses of any nature, including, but not limited to, so-called “impact” costs, labor inefficiency, wage, material or other escalations beyond the prices upon which the proposal is based and to which the parties have agreed pursuant to the provisions of this section, and which the Contractor, its Subcontractors and SubSubcontractors or any other person may incur as a result of delays, interferences, suspensions, changes in sequence or the like, for whatever cause, whether reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable 128
General Conditions
Page | 5-15
or unavoidable, arising from the performance of any and all changes in the work performed pursuant to this section. It is understood and agreed that the Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy in such event shall be recovery of its direct costs as compensable hereunder and an extension of the time of the Contract, but only in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents.

It is expressly agreed that Contractor shall not be entitled to claim damages for anticipated profits on any portion of the Work that may be deleted.

The amount of any adjustment for work deleted shall be estimated at the time deletion of work is ordered and the estimated adjustment will be deducted for the subsequent monthly pay estimates. The City reserves its rights under Section

3.20 to audit Contractor’s as-Bid profit in connection with any deductive change, to arrive at a final adjustment. Contractor’s as-Bid profit shall be reduced pro rata according to the proportion of the original contract value less as-Bid profit, represented by the work deleted.

The City reserves the right to contract with any person or firm other than the Contractor for any or all Extra Work.

2.05. UNILATERAL CHANGE IN OR ADDITION TO THE WORK
Notwithstanding the above, the City, directly or through the Engineer, may direct the Contractor in writing to perform changes in or additions to the scope of the Contract. The Contractor shall perform such work and the parties shall proceed pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04.

2.06. DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS
The Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the City in writing of any:
(a) Material that the Contractor believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25110.02 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; or
(b) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the Site differing from those indicated in the Contract Documents; or
(c) Unknown conditions at the Site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract.

The Engineer shall thereupon promptly investigate the conditions. If the Engineer finds that they do involve hazardous waste or do materially differ and cause a decrease or increase in the Contractor’s cost or time of performance, the Engineer will issue a change order as appropriate. Any increase or decrease of cost resulting from such changes shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Section 2.04 for adjustments as to extra and/or additional work and changes. In the event that a dispute arises between the City and the Contractor, whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause and decrease or increase the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, the Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided by the Contract, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Contract, the procedures applicable to claims for extra costs shall then apply.

2.07. CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COSTS
(a) Notice of Potential Claims
(1) It is hereby mutually agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to the payment of any additional compensation for any cause, including any act, or failure to act, by the Engineer, or the happening of any event, thing or occurrence, unless the Contractor provides the Engineer with written notice of the potential claims as hereinafter specified. Compliance with this section, however, shall not be a prerequisite as to matters within the scope of the protest provisions in Section 2.03.

The written notice of potential claims shall set forth the reasons for which the Contractor believes additional compensation will or may be due, the nature of the costs involved, and, insofar as possible, the amount of the potential claim. The notice as above required shall be given to the Engineer prior to the time that the Contractor commences performance of the Work giving rise to the potential claim for additional compensation, if based on an act or failure to act by the Engineer, or in all other cases within ten (10) days after the happening of the event, thing or occurrence giving rise to the potential claim.
(b) Construction Claims
(1) The Contractor may submit a claim to the Engineer concerning any matter for which a protest under Section 2.03, or a notice of potential claim, is filed.

Such claims, or potential claims, shall be submitted to the Engineer within sixty (60) days following the submission of said protest or notice, unless, due to the nature of the claim or the uncompleted state of the Work, it is impracticable to determine the amount or the extent of the claim within such period. In such cases, claims shall be submitted at the earliest practicable time in which such a determination can be made. In any event, all claims shall be filed on or before the date of the final release by the Contractor as provided for in Section 7.09.
(2) All claims shall be in writing and shall set forth clearly and in detail, for each item of additional compensation claimed, the reasons for the claim, reference to applicable provisions of the Specifications, the nature and the amount of the cost involved, the computations used in determining such costs, all pertinent factual data and all the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. The Contractor shall maintain complete and accurate records of the cost or any portion of the Work for which additional compensation is claimed, and shall provide the Engineer with copies thereof, as required.
(c) Resolution of Construction Claims
(1) To the extent that the Contractor disputes the Engineer’s Written Decision issued pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(2), or to the extent the Engineer fails to issue a timely written decision, the Contractor may file a written claim, as defined by Public Contract Code section 9204(c)(1), with the City including reasonable documentation to support the claim. Upon receipt of the claim, the City shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim, and within a period not to exceed 45 days, the City shall provide the Contractor with a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. The time in which the City must provide a written statement 130
General Conditions

may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties as specified by Public Contract Code section 9204(d)(1)(C). The City shall pay any undisputed portion of the claim within 60 days after issuance of its written statement. (2) Claims submitted by the Contractor shall be accompanied by a notarized certificate containing the following language:

Under the penalty of law for perjury or falsification and with specific reference to the California False Claims Act, Government Code section 12650, et. seq., the undersigned, David Scheel
Senior Project Manager
REM Construction, Inc.

Failure to submit the notarized certificate will be sufficient cause for denying the claim.

Any claim for overhead type expenses or costs, in addition to being certified as stated above, shall be supported by an audit report of any independent Certified Public Accountant. Any such overhead claim shall also be subject to audit by the City at its discretion.

Any costs or expenses incurred by the City in reviewing or auditing any claims that are not supported by the Contractor’s cost accounting or other records shall be deemed to be damages incurred by the City within the meaning of the California False Claims Act. (3) Meet And Confer Regarding Unresolved Claims. If the Contractor disputes the City’s written statement issued pursuant to Section 4.07(c)(1) or if the City fails to issue a timely written response, the Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.

days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, the City shall provide the Contractor with a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. The City shall pay any undisputed portion of the claim within 60 days after it issues its written statement.
(4) Mediation. If the Contractor disputes, in writing, any portion of the City’s written statement as issued under Section 4.07(c)(3), the disputed items shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation according to the provisions of Public Contract Code section 9204(d)(2), and any costs of mediation shall be allocated as set forth in that section. Upon receipt of a claim, the City and the Contractor may agree to waive, in writing, mediation. (5) Failure to Respond or Pay. If the City fails to timely respond to a claim from the Contractor or otherwise fails to meet the time requirements of Public Contract Code section 9204, the claim shall be deemed rejected in its entirety. Additionally, amounts not timely paid in the manner required by Public Contract Code section 9204 shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(6) Subcontractor Claims. If a Subcontractor or a lower tier Subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against the City because privity of contract does not exist, the Contractor may present to the City a claim on behalf of the Subcontractor or lower tier Subcontractor pursuant to Public Contract Code section 9204(d)(5).

2.08. CIVIL ACTION PROCEDURES
(a) Alternative Dispute Resolution of Claims of $375,000.00 or Less. (1) Claims Less Than $375,000.00. Notwithstanding any other provision herein but after compliance with the provisions of Public Contract Code section 9204 as set forth in Section 4.07, claims of $375,000.00 or less shall be resolved pursuant to the alternative dispute resolution procedures set forth in Public Contract Code section 20104 et seq. “Claim” for this purpose means a separate demand by the Contractor for a time extension, payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the Contract, for which payment is expressly provided, or the Contractor is otherwise entitled to, or an amount the payment of which is disputed by the City.
(2) Submission of Claims Less than $375,000.00.

SECTION 3

CONTROL OF WORK

3.01. AUTHORITY OF ENGINEER
(a) The Engineer is the representative of the City and has full authority to interpret the Contract Documents, to conduct the construction review and inspection of the Contractor’s performance, and to decide questions, which arise during the course of the Work and the Engineer’s decisions on these matters, shall be final and conclusive. The Engineer has the authority to reject all work and materials, which do not conform to the Contract Documents, and has the authority to stop the Work whenever such stoppage may be necessary to insure the proper execution of the Contract. The Engineer’s failure to stop the Work shall not obligate the City to accept defective or otherwise unacceptable work or otherwise affect the Engineer’s or City’s authority to reject work for any reason set forth in the Contract Documents.
(b) If at any time the Contractor’s work force, tools, plant or equipment appear to the Engineer to be insufficient or inappropriate to secure the required quality of work or the proper rate of progress, the Engineer may order the Contractor to increase their efficiency, improve their character, to augment their number or to substitute other personnel, new or additional tools, plant or equipment, as the case may be, and the Contractor shall comply with such order. Neither the failure of the Engineer to demand such increase of efficiency, number, or improvement, nor the compliance by the Contractor with the demand, shall relieve the Contractor of its obligation to provide quality work at the rate of progress necessary to complete the Work within the specified time.
(c) The Engineer may authorize minor variations in the work from the requirements of the Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time. These may be accomplished by a Field Order. Contractor shall comply promptly with all Field Orders. If the Engineer and Contractor are unable to agree on entitlement or on the amount or extent, if any, of any adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract time, or cost, as a result of a Field Order, a claim may be made therefor pursuant to Section 2.07. (d) Any order given by the Engineer, not otherwise required by the Contract Documents to be in writing shall, on request of the Contractor, be given or confirmed by the Engineer in writing.
(e) Whenever work, methods of procedure, or any other matters are made subject to direction or approval, such direction or approval will be given by the Engineer.

3.02. DRAWINGS
(a) Drawings furnished herewith are for bidding purposes. The Engineer will furnish the Contractor, free of charge, copies of full size Drawings which are reasonably necessary for the execution of the Work. The Contractor shall have no claim for excusable delay on account of the failure of the Engineer to deliver such Drawings, unless the Engineer shall have failed to deliver the same within two weeks after receipt of written demand therefore from the Contractor. The Contractor shall keep 135
General Conditions
Page | 5-22
one copy of said Drawings, in good order, available to the Engineer and the Engineer’s representatives, and convenient to the working site. (b) If the Contractor, in the course of the Work, finds any discrepancy between the Drawings and the physical condition of the locality, or any errors or omissions in the Drawings, or in the layout as given by points and instructions, it shall be the Contractor’s duty to inform the Engineer in writing, and the Engineer will promptly verify the same.
(c) Any work done after such discovery, until authorized, will be done at the Contractor’s risk. All Drawings, Specifications, and copies thereof furnished by the Engineer are the property of the Engineer and shall not be reused on other work and, with the exception of the signed Contract sets, are to be returned to the Engineer, on request, at the completion of the Work. All models are the property of the City.
(d) The Drawings shall be supplemented by such Shop Drawings prepared by the fabricator and/or supplier and Working Drawings prepared by the Contractor as are necessary to adequately control the Work. No changes shall be made by the Contractor in any Shop or Working Drawings after they have been reviewed by the Engineer, if the Engineer deems that no further submittals are necessary. The Contractor shall not commence the layout, purchase, fabrication, or construction of any work for which Shop or Working Drawings are required until Engineer has reviewed the specifications and drawings and has indicated in writing no further submittals are required for compliance with the Contract Documents. (e) Shop and Working Drawings for any structure shall include, but not be limited to, detail design calculations, fabrication and installation drawings, lists, graphs, operating instructions, etc., which shall be reviewed and accepted by the Engineer before any such work is performed.
(f) Shop and Working Drawings will be required for cribs, cofferdams, falsework, centering and form work and for other temporary work and methods of construction the Contractor proposes to use. Such Drawings shall be subject to the review and Acceptance of the Engineer insofar as the details affect the character of the finished work, but details of design will be left to the Contractor who shall be responsible for the successful construction of the Work. (g) Contractor agrees that Shop and/or Working Drawings processed by the Engineer are not Change Orders; that the purpose of these Drawings submitted by the Contractor is to demonstrate to the Engineer that the Contractor understands the design concept, that the Contractor demonstrates its understanding by indicating which equipment and material the Contractor intends to furnish and by detailing the fabrication methods it intends to use. It is expressly understood, however, that favorable review of the Contractor’s Shop and Working Drawings shall not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for accuracy of dimensions and details, or for mutual agreements of dimensions and details. It is mutually agreed that the Contractor shall be responsible for agreement and conformity of its Drawings with the Specifications. Contractor further agrees that if deviations, discrepancies or conflicts between Shop and/or Working Drawings and Specifications are 136
General Conditions
Page | 5-23
discovered either prior to or after the Drawings are processed by the Engineer, the Specifications shall control and shall be followed.
(h) Unless otherwise stated, the Engineer shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of Shop and/or Working Drawings for review.
(i) Full compensation for furnishing all Shop and/or Working Drawings shall be considered as included in the prices paid for the Contract items of work to which such drawings relate and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.

Any cost related to the Engineer’s review of any particular set of Shop and/or Working Drawings more than twice, due to incompleteness or unacceptability, shall be borne by the Contractor, and the City reserves the right to withhold such costs from payments due the Contractor.
(j) All reasonable effort has been made to locate and delineate all known structures and facilities on the plans. Except as otherwise provided herein, the City of West Sacramento shall assume no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of its delineation of underground utilities nor the existence of other buried objects which may be encountered, or which are not shown on the plans. (k) The Contractor shall keep and maintain a clean set of plans for the project and shall record in red ink all changes, revisions, etc. made during the course of construction. These plans shall include all changes, revisions, etc. from the original plan complete with the exact sizes, locations, dimensions, elevations, etc. These plans shall be kept and maintained in a neat, clean and legible condition and shall be available for inspection at all times by the Engineer. The Contractor shall deliver these completed plans to the Engineer and the Engineer shall approve these plans prior to final Acceptance of the project by the City.

3.03. CONSTRUCTION STAKING AND SURVEYS
The City will provide one set of construction stakes and benchmarks as it deems necessary to establish lines and grades required for the completion of the site work specified in the Contract. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer a minimum of seven (7) days in advance of the time work is to begin on any portion of the project that may require construction staking to be provided by the City. The Contractor shall make all other surveys necessary for the completion of the Work.

Stakes and marks set by the City or Engineer shall be carefully preserved by the Contractor. The Contractor shall be charged for the cost of replacing or restoring the stakes and marks, which are destroyed or damaged by Contractor’s operation. This charge will be deducted from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor under the Contract.

3.04. PERMITS AND REGULATIONS
Permits and licenses, of a temporary nature, necessary for the prosecution of the Work shall be secured and paid for by the Contractor. Permits, licenses and easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing facilities shall be secured and paid for by the City unless otherwise specified.

The Contractor shall give all notices and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations bearing on the conduct of the Work as shown on the plans and described in the Specifications. Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer in writing of any specification at variance therewith. In such instances, any necessary changes shall be adjusted as provided in the Contract for changes in the Work. If the Contractor performs any Work knowing it to be 137
General Conditions
Page | 5-24
contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations and without such notice to the Engineer, Contractor shall bear all costs arising therefrom.

3.05. CONFORMITY WITH CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND ALLOWABLE DEVIATIONS Work and materials shall conform to the lines, grades, cross sections, dimensions and material requirements, including tolerances, shown on Contract Documents. Although measurement, sampling, and testing may be considered evidence as to such conformity, the Engineer shall be the sole judge as to whether the Work or materials deviate from the Contract Documents. The Engineer’s decision as to any allowable deviations therefrom shall be final and conclusive.

3.06. COORDINATION AND INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS (a) Should it appear that the Work to be done or any of the matters relative thereto are not sufficiently detailed or explained in the Specifications and Plans, the Contractor shall apply to the Engineer for such further explanations as may be necessary and shall conform to them as part of the Contract. In the event of any doubt or question arising respecting the true meaning of the Specifications and Plans, reference shall be made to the Engineer, whose decision thereon shall be final and conclusive. (b) Any reference made in the Specifications and Plans to any specification, standard, method, or publication of any scientific or technical society or other organization shall, in the absence of a specific designation to the contrary, be understood to refer to the specification, standard, method, or publication in effect as of the date that the Work is advertised for Bids.

3.07. SUBCONTRACTORS
(a) The attention of the Contractor is directed to the provisions of California Public Contract Code sections 4100-4113 regarding subcontracting and said provisions are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof. (b) Each subcontract shall contain a suitable provision for the suspension or termination thereof should the Work be suspended or terminated or should the Subcontractor neglect or fail to conform to every provision of the Contract Documents insofar as such provisions are relevant. The Contractor shall be fully responsible to the City for the acts or omissions of the Contractor’s Subcontractors and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the Contractor. Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between any Subcontractor and the City. If a legal action, including arbitration and litigation, against the City is initiated by a Subcontractor or Supplier, the Contractor shall reimburse the City for the amount of legal, engineering and all other expenses incurred by the City in defending itself in said action. (c) The City and the Engineer reserve the right to approve all Subcontractors.

Such approval shall be a consideration to the awarding of the Contract and unless notification to the contrary is given to the Contractor prior to the signing of the Contract, the list of Subcontractors which is submitted with the Contractor’s proposal will be deemed to be acceptable. Contractor shall not, without the written consent of the City, subcontract the whole of the Work. 138
General Conditions
Page | 5-25

3.08. COOPERATION OF CONTRACTORS
(a) Should construction be under way by other forces or by other contractors within or adjacent to the limits of the Work specified or should work of any other nature be under way by other forces within or adjacent to said limits, the Contractor shall cooperate with all such other contractors or other forces to the end that any delay or hindrance to their work will be avoided. The right is reserved to perform other or additional work at or near the site (including material sources) at any time, by the use of other forces.
(b) When two or more contractors are employed on related or adjacent work, each shall conduct its operation in such a manner as not to cause any unnecessary delay or hindrance to the other. Each Contractor shall be responsible to the other for all damage to work, to persons or property caused to the other by its operations, and for loss caused the other due to unnecessary delays or failure to finish the work within the time specified for completion.

3.09. SUPERINTENDENCE
(a) The Contractor shall designate in writing, before starting work, an individual as authorized representative who shall have the authority to represent and act for the Contractor. This authorized representative shall be present at the Site of the Work at all times while work is actually in progress on the Contract. When the Work is not in progress and during periods when the Work is suspended, arrangements acceptable to the Engineer shall be made for any emergency work, which may be required.
(b) The Contractor is solely responsible, at all times, for the superintendence of the Work and for its safety and progress.
(c) Whenever the Contractor or its authorized representative is not present on any particular part of the Work where it may be desired to give direction, orders will be given by the Engineer, which shall be received and obeyed by the superintendent or foreman who may have charge of the particular work in reference to which the orders are given.
(d) Any order given by the Engineer, not otherwise required by the Specifications to be in writing, will on request of the Contractor, be given or confirmed by the Engineer in writing.

3.10. INSPECTION OF WORK
(a) Unless otherwise provided, all equipment, materials, and work shall be subject to inspection and testing by the Engineer. The Engineer will observe the progress and quality of the Work and determine, in general, if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the intent of the Contract Documents. The Engineer shall not be required to make comprehensive or continuous inspections to check the quality of the Work. The Engineer shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work. Visits and observations made by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of Contractor’s obligation to conduct comprehensive inspections of the Work and to furnish proper materials, labor, equipment and 139
General Conditions
Page | 5-26
tools, and perform acceptable work, and to provide adequate safety precautions, in conformance with the intent of the Contract.
(b) Whenever the Contractor varies the period during which work is carried on each day, the Contractor shall give due notice to the Engineer so that proper inspection may be provided. Any work done in the absence of the Engineer shall be subject to rejection. Proper facilities for safe access for inspection to all parts of the Work shall at all times be maintained for the necessary use of the Engineer and other agents of the City, and agents of the federal, state, or local governments at all reasonable hours for inspection by such agencies to ascertain compliance with laws and regulations.
(c) One or more inspectors may be assigned to observe the Work by the Engineer and to act in matters of construction under this Contract. It is understood that inspectors shall have the power to issue instructions and make decisions within the limitations of the authority of the Engineer. Such inspection shall not relieve the Contractor of the Contractor’s obligation to conduct comprehensive inspections of the Work, to furnish proper materials, labor, equipment and tools, and perform acceptable work, and to provide adequate safety precautions in conformance with the intent of the Contract.
(d) The Engineer and the Engineer’s representatives shall at all times have access to the Work wherever it is in preparation or progress, and the Contractor shall provide safe and convenient facilities for such access and for inspection. If the Specifications, the Engineer’s instructions, laws, ordinances, or any public authority require any material, equipment or work to be specifically tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Engineer timely notice of its readiness for inspection, and if the inspection is by an authority other than the City, of the time fixed for inspection. Inspections by the Engineer will be made promptly and, where practicable, at the source of supply.
(e) Work performed without inspection may be required to be removed and replaced under proper inspection. In such instances, the entire cost of removal and replacing, including the cost of City-furnished materials used in the Work, shall be borne by the Contractor, regardless of whether or not the Work exposed is found to be defective. Examination of questioned work, other than that installed without inspection, may be ordered by the Engineer and, if so ordered, the Work must be uncovered by the Contractor. If such work is found to be in accordance with the Contract Documents, the City will pay the cost of re-examination and replacement.

If such work is found to be not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such cost, unless the Contractor can show that the defect in the Work was caused by another Contractor, and in that event the City will pay such costs.
(f) The inspection of the Work shall not relieve the Contractor of the Contractor’s obligation to fulfill the Contract as herein prescribed, or in any way alter the standard of performance provided by the Contractor, and defective work shall be made good and unusable materials may be rejected, notwithstanding that such work and materials have been previously overlooked by the Engineer and accepted or estimated for payment. If the Work or any part thereof shall be found defective, the Contractor shall, within ten (10) calendar days, make good such defect in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. If the Contractor fails to make ordered repairs of defective work or to remove the condemned materials from the Work within ten (10) calendar days after written direction by the Engineer, the City 140
General Conditions
Page | 5-27
may make the ordered repairs, or remove the condemned materials, and deduct the cost thereof from any monies due the Contractor.
(g) The Contractor shall furnish promptly, without additional charge, all facilities, labor and materials reasonably needed by the Engineer for performing all inspection and tests. Contractor shall be charged with any additional cost of inspection when material and workmanship are not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for its inspection.
(h) Where any part of the Work is being done under an encroachment permit or building permit, or is subject to federal, state, county or city codes, laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, representatives of the government agency shall have full access to the Work and shall be allowed to make any inspection or tests in accordance with such permits, codes, laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations. If advance notice of the readiness of the Work for inspection by the governing agency is required, the Contractor shall furnish such notice to the appropriate agency.
(i) The Engineer may inspect the production of material, or the manufacture of products at the source of supply. Plant inspection, however, will not be undertaken until the Engineer is assured of the cooperation and assistance of both the Contractor and the material producer. The Engineer or the Engineer’s authorized representative shall have free entry at all times to such parts of the plant as concerns the manufacture or production of the materials. Adequate facilities shall be furnished free of charge to make the necessary inspection. The City assumes no obligation to inspect materials at the source of supply.

3.11. TESTS
The Contractor shall perform, at the Contractor’s own expense, all tests specified or required by the Specifications. The Engineer may perform such tests as the Engineer deems necessary to determine the quality of work or compliance with Contract Documents. The Contractor shall furnish promptly without additional charge all facilities, labor, and material reasonably required for performing safe and convenient tests as may be required by the Engineer. All tests by the Engineer will be performed in such a manner as will not unnecessarily delay the Work. The Contractor shall not be required to reimburse the City for tests performed by the City or Engineer.

4.03. TRADE NAMES AND ALTERNATIVES
Whenever a material, article, system or sub-system is specified or described by using the name and/or model of a proprietary product or trademark or the name of the manufacturer or vendor, the specified item shall establish the type, function, and quality required. It shall be understood that the words “or approved equivalent” are implied whether or not they follow the proprietary enumeration.

The City reserves the right to determine when proprietary items have no equivalency, and when uniformity of operations, interchangeability of parts, standard parts inventory, etc., are in the City’s best interest.

Requests for review of equivalency will be considered upon submission of sufficient information as described herein, to allow complete review. Such requests shall not be accepted from anyone other than the Contractor. Such submission must be made prior to purchase, fabrication, manufacture or use of the equivalent items under consideration. (a) Contractor’s Risk. If the Contractor includes in its Bid or later proposes any material, product or equipment that the Contractor considers equivalent to that specified, the Contractor assumes all risk of any sort associated with Acceptance or rejection of proposed equivalent items.

(2) After the Bid opening, the apparent three low bidders shall have seven (7) calendar days to provide complete substantiating data for all product, material or system substitution requests. After this seven (7)-day period, the City may award the Contract to the apparent low bidder. In no event will product, material or system substitution requests submitted after the Award of Contract be considered. Failure to submit such substantiating data will result in the automatic rejection of the proposed substitution request.

For each additional five (5) product, material or system substitution requests over and above the initial ten (10), the City will have ten (10) additional days to review the proposed substitution requests.
(3) Each substitution request may include one alternate substitution. All alternate substitutions shall be submitted concurrently with substitution requests. Upon review by the City, proposed substitutions shall be returned to the Bidder marked either “accepted” or “rejected”. The City 148
General Conditions
Page | 5-35
shall only review alternative substitution requests if the primary substitution request is rejected. If a substitution request, and its alternative, is returned “rejected”, no further substitution requests for that product, material or system will be allowed and the Bidder will provide the specified product, material or system.
(4) If, after all substitution requests have been processed, substitution requests by the apparent low Bidder are rejected by the City, the apparent low Bidder may elect not to execute the Contract. Under no circumstances, will bidders be allowed to alter their Bid Price as originally submitted. This election shall be made in writing no later than five (5) days following the receipt of the reviewed substitution requests. An election by the Bidder not to execute the Contract will result in the forfeiture of the bidder’s Bid bond. If the apparent low Bidder elects not to continue, and the second low Bidder is awarded the Contract, the second low Bidder may then elect not to execute the Contract for the contract price shown on its Bid Form. Subsequent bidders shall have five (5) days following the receipt of the reviewed substitution requests and the Notice of Award in which to make their election. This process shall continue until one Bidder decides to continue with the Award of Contract process. (5) The City may award the Contract at any time after the time for submitting substitution requests expires pursuant to subpart (2), above. In the event the Contract is awarded prior to acceptance/rejection of substitution requests, all outstanding substitution requests shall be reviewed by the City as provided above. If the apparent low Bidder elects not to execute the Contract, the Award of Contract to the apparent low Bidder shall be rescinded and the Contract awarded to the next apparent low bidder. All bidders electing not to execute the Contract expressly agree that the City shall incur no liability for such rescissions. As provided herein, “apparent low bidder” means the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

A Certificate of Compliance shall be furnished with each lot of material delivered to the Work and the lot so certified shall be clearly identified in the Certificate.
(b) All materials used on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance may be sampled and tested at any time. The fact that material is used on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for incorporating material in the Work which conforms to the requirements of the Contract 149
General Conditions

Documents and any such material not conforming to such requirements will be subject to rejection whether in place or not.
(c) The City reserves the right to refuse to permit the use of material on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance.

The Contractor shall review, revise and resubmit the progress schedule at least once a month to reflect progress. In any event, Contractor shall submit, at any time during the contract period, a current schedule to the Engineer at the Engineer’s request.

No progress payments will be made for any work performed until a satisfactory schedule has been submitted and approved by the Engineer. An updated schedule shall be required from the Contractor if the project falls ten (10) working days behind schedule.

If the Work falls behind the accepted schedule, the Contractor shall promptly take whatever actions are necessary to put the project back on schedule. For delays or portions of delays for which the Contractor is responsible, no payment will be made or time extension allowed for increase in work force, equipment, and working hours needed to put the project on schedule.

6.02. COMMENCEMENT AND PROGRESS OF THE WORK AND TIME OF COMPLETION (a) Commencement
The Contractor shall begin the Work after receiving a Notice to Proceed within the period of time set forth in the Contract Provisions. Thereafter, Contractor shall diligently prosecute the Work to completion as specified in the Contract Documents. The Engineer shall have the right to specify the locations where Contractor shall start and proceed with the Work.

A preconstruction conference will be convened after the Contractor has delivered the necessary bonds, insurance certificates and signed agreement in proper form as required in the invitation to bid, Bid proposal and general conditions of these specifications. Prior to any work, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a list of key personnel assigned to the project and the telephone numbers where they may be reached at any time. The list shall be made available in sufficient copies and presented at the preconstruction conference.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Contract, the City shall not be obligated to accept or pay for any work furnished by the Contractor prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed whether or not the City has knowledge of the furnishing of such work. The Contractor shall not commence with work on this project until its Contract bonds and evidence of insurance comply with all Contract requirements and a Notice to Proceed has been issued.

The Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing two (2) working days (48 hours) prior to commencement of work on the Project or scheduling work for a Saturday, Sunday, or City Holiday. Failure to provide said notification will void the City’s obligation to provide inspection. Any work done in the absence of the City’s Inspector shall be subject to rejection.

(b) Completion
All work under this Contract shall be completed within the period of time set forth in the Contract Provisions. The Contract shall be deemed completed when the Engineer has certified the completion of the Project as provided in Section 9.07 of these General Conditions.

6.03. SUSPENSION OF WORK
(a) The Engineer may at any time, by notice in writing to the Contractor, suspend any part of the Work for such period of time as may be necessary to prevent improper execution of the Work on the project by the Contractor, its Subcontractors or agents, and the Contractor shall have no claim for damages or additional compensation on account of any such suspension.
(b) The City may at any time suspend any part or all of the Work upon ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor, who shall thereupon discontinue all work suspended except for all operations to prevent loss or damage to work already executed as may be directed by the Engineer. Work shall be resumed by the Contractor after such suspension on written notice from the City. (c) In the event of any suspension of the Work in whole or in part under subsection (b) above, the Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time wherein to complete the Work to the extent of the delay caused to the Contractor thereby. (d) In the event the entire work shall be suspended by order of the City, as herein above provided, and shall remain so suspended for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, through no fault of the Contractor, and notice to resume the Work shall not have been served on the Contractor as herein above provided, Contractor may, at its option, by written notice to the City, terminate the Contract in the same manner as if the termination had been initiated by the City, and the City shall have no claim for damages because of such termination of the Contract.

6.04. DELAY IN THE WORK – TIME EXTENSIONS
The Contractor shall at all times employ such force, plant, materials, and tools as will be sufficient, in the opinion of the Engineer, to prosecute the Work at not less than the rates fixed under the terms of the Contract and to complete the Work thereof within the time limits fixed therein. If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the Work, or any separable part thereof, with such diligence as will ensure the completion within the time specified in the Contract, or any extension thereof, or fails to complete said work within such time, the City may exercise the termination provisions set forth in Section 4.05, below. (a) Excusable Delays. Excusable delays shall be delays in the controlling operation of the Contractor’s work due to strikes, lockouts by others, fire, unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties, adverse weather conditions which could not have been reasonably anticipated, or any other act(s) of God beyond the Contractor’s control, or by delay authorized by the City, or by any cause which the City shall decide to justify the delay. Except as provided in Section 6.04(f), below, in the event of an excusable delay, the time of completion shall be extended for such reasonable time as the City may decide. The Contractor’s right to an extension of time for an excusable delay is expressly subject to Contractor’s giving written notice of such claim within ten (10) days following the date the Contractor knew or should have known of the delay. Failure to give such notice shall be 170
General Conditions
Page | 5-57
construed as a waiver of such right. It is understood and agreed that extensions of time shall be the Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for excusable delays. (b) Compensable delays. Compensable delays shall be delays in the controlling operating of the Contractor’s work due to acts or neglect of the City, its employees or those under it by contract or otherwise, or by changes ordered in the work. In the event of a compensable delay, the time of completion shall be extended for such reasonable time as the City may decide. In addition, the Contractor may recover its direct costs as provided in Section 4.056.05. The Contractor’s remedies for compensable delays are expressly subject to Contractor’s giving ten (10) days written notice of such claim from the date the Contractor knew or should have known of the delay. It is understood and agreed that the Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedies for compensable delays shall be an extension of the time and recovery of its direct costs as compensable hereunder, but only in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents.
(c) Contractor and City understand and agree that the Contract time for the completion of this project is a very important part of the contract. Extensions of time will only be granted as provided above when events actually cause the Contractor to be delayed in the performance of that schedule activity which is the controlling operation as of the time of the delay. When acts or omissions occur which could cause delay, Contractor will take all reasonable means in order to be able to continue to work as scheduled without any delay, or as short a delay as possible.

Additionally, if inclement weather causes accumulation of standing water on the work site or other conditions which might cause delay, Contractor shall take all measures reasonably necessary to permit work to continue as quickly as possible. (d) If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a claim for additional time, such claim shall be documented by date substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time and could not have been reasonably anticipated, and that weather conditions had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction.

Adverse weather conditions shall be considered only as those conditions that exceed the average annual number of rain days and rain quantities as established by the Annual Local Climatological Summary and NOAA National Technical Memorandum NWS WR-65 (Revised) as published by the United States Government, National Weather Service, National Climate Center, Asheville, North Carolina.
(e) The Engineer shall be responsible for determining when adverse weather conditions result in non-workable days. It shall be the Contractor’s duty to stay informed of such determinations by the Engineer. The Contractor may object to such adverse weather determinations by filing with the Engineer a written notice of objection. The notice of objection shall state the basis of the objection and provide supporting documentation, which substantiates that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time and could not have been reasonably anticipated, and that weather conditions had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction.

All such notices of objection shall be filed within three (3) days of the day in dispute. It is hereby agreed that the Contractor’s failure to submit a written notice of objection within three (3) days of the Engineer’s adverse weather determination shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor of all its rights to further protest, judicial or otherwise.
(f) The Engineer will, within a reasonable period of time, issue a ruling on the Contractor’s notice of objection. All such rulings by the Engineer shall be final, unless the Contractor files a written protest within fifteen (15) days of the Engineer’s ruling. This protest shall clearly state the basis of the dispute. Such 171
General Conditions
Page | 5-58
protest will be forwarded promptly to the City, which will issue a decision on each such protest. The City decision will be final. Pending the City decision, the Contractor shall proceed with its work in accordance with the Engineer’s ruling and/or instructions. It is hereby agreed that the Contractor’s failure to file a protest within fifteen days (15) of the Engineer’s ruling shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor of all its rights to further protest, judicial or otherwise. (g) The number of days that are anticipated to be non-workable due to adverse weather conditions shall be as set forth in Section 6.04(d) of the General Conditions. Days deemed non-workable by the Engineer in excess of such anticipated number shall be considered excusable delays. (h) Unexcused delays shall be delays in the Contractor’s work due to acts or neglect of the Contractor, its employees, Subcontractors or those under it by contract or otherwise. In the event of an unexcused delay, the Contractor expressly agrees that it shall not be entitled to either an extension of time or recovery of its costs. (i) A request for an extension of time, or the granting of an extension of time, shall not constitute a basis for any claim against the City for additional compensation or damages unless caused by the City or another Contractor employed by the City.

6.05. DAMAGES FOR DELAY
In the event of compensable delay, the City shall only be liable for idle equipment, idle workers and the necessary costs of transporting equipment. The City shall be liable to the extent that the compensable delay is concurrent with excusable delays or Contractor caused delays to the controlling operation. The allowable costs shall be as for force account work under Section 2.04 with the following exceptions:
(a) The Delay Factor in the Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rules applies to each equipment rental rate;
(b) The daily number of payable hours shall equal the normal working hours during the delay, not to exceed eight (8) hours per day; and
(c) No markups will be added.

6.06. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
If at any time before completion of the Work, the City determines that it is either impossible or against the interests of the City to complete the Work, or if the Work is stopped by an injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction or by order of any competent authority, the City may, upon ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor, discontinue the Work and terminate the Contract. Upon service of such notice of termination, the Contractor shall discontinue the Work in such manner, sequence, and at such times as described below. The Contractor shall have no claim for damages for such discontinuance or termination, nor any claim for anticipated profits on the Work thus dispensed with, nor any other actually performed up to the time of discontinuance, including any Extra Work ordered by the Engineer to be done, nor for any claim for liquidated damages.

Termination of the Contract for convenience and the total compensation payable to the Contractor in the event of termination shall be governed by the following:
172
General Conditions

(7) Dispose of material not yet used in the Work as directed by the Engineer. (8) It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to provide the City with good title to all materials purchased by the City hereunder, including material for which partial payment has been made and with bills of sale or other documents of title for such materials.
(9) Subject to the prior written approval of the Engineer, settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of subcontracts or orders for material terminated hereunder. To the extent directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall assign to the City all the right, title and interest of the Contractor under subcontracts or orders for materials terminated hereunder.
(10) Furnish the Engineer with the documentation required to be furnished by the Contractor under the provisions of the Contract including, on projects as to which Federal funds are involved, all documentation required under the Federal requirements included in the Contract.
(11) Take such other actions as the Engineer may direct. (b) Termination of the Contract shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to materials except as follows:
(1) The Contractor’s responsibility for damage to materials for which partial payment has been made and for materials furnished by the City for use in the Work and unused shall terminate when the Engineer certifies that such materials have been stored in the manner and at the locations he or she has directed.

General Conditions
Page | 5-60
terminated shall terminate when title and delivery of such materials has been taken by the City.
(3) When the Engineer determines that the Contractor has completed the Work under the Contract directed to be completed prior to termination and such other Work as may have been ordered to secure the project for termination, he or she will recommend that the Engineer formally accept the Contract, and immediately upon and after such Acceptance by the Engineer, the Contractor will not be required to perform any further Work thereon and shall be relieved of his or her Contractual responsibilities for injury to persons or damage to property which occurs after the formal Acceptance of the project by the Engineer.
(c) The total compensation to be paid to the Contractor shall be determined by the Engineer on the basis of the following:
(1) The reasonable cost to the Contractor, without profit, for all Work performed under the Contract, including mobilization, demobilization and Work done to secure the project for termination. Reasonable cost will include a reasonable allowance for project Overhead and general administrative Overhead not to exceed a total of seven (7%) percent of Direct Costs of such Work.
(2) A reasonable allowance for profit on the cost of the Work performed as determined under Section (a) above, provided the Contractor establishes to the satisfaction of the Engineer that it is reasonably probable that he or she would have made a profit had the Contract been completed and provided further, that the profit allowed shall in no event exceed four (4%) percent of said cost.
(3) The reasonable cost to the Contractor of handling material returned to the vendor, delivered to the City or otherwise disposed of as directed by the Engineer.
(4) A reasonable allowance for the Contractor’s administrative costs in determining the amount payable due to termination of the Contract.

After Termination of the Work by the Engineer, the Engineer may make payments on the basis of interim estimates pending issuance of the Final Statement, when in his or her opinion the amount thus paid, together with all amounts previously paid or allowed, will not result in total compensation in excess of that to which the Contractor will be entitled.

All payments, including payment upon the Final Statement, shall be subject to deduction for prior payments and amounts, if any, to be kept or retained under the provisions of the Contract.
174
General Conditions

6.07. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT
(a) In the event of any default by the Contractor as described below, the City may, after giving ten (10) days’ written notice to the Contractor, terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed with the Work or any part of the Work in the City’s sole discretion. Events of default include:
(1) Failure or refusal to prosecute the Work, or any separable part thereof, with such diligence as will ensure the completion within the time specified in the Contract, or any extension thereof, or failure to complete said work within such time.
(2) Filing of bankruptcy by the Contractor, or the making of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or appointment of a receiver on account of Contractor’s insolvency without discharge of the receiver within ten (10) days after its appointment.
(3) Failure to make prompt payments to Subcontractors or suppliers. (4) Persistent disregard of laws, ordinances, or the instructions of the Engineer, or other substantial violation of any provision of the Contract. (b) In the event the right of the Contractor to proceed with the Work, or any portion thereof, has been terminated because of the default of the Contractor and the Contractor has been given ten (10) days’ notice to cure such fault and has not done so, the City may take over the Work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or any other method the City deems expedient, and may take possession of and utilize in completing the Work such materials, appliances, equipment and plant as may be on the site of the Work and necessary therefore. In such event, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for all damages including costs of managerial and administrative services, engineering, legal and other consultant fees, and liquidated damages sustained or incurred by the City. (c) Upon termination, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If upon completion of the Work the total cost to the City, including engineering, legal and other consultant fees, costs of managerial and administrative services, construction costs, and liquidated damages shall be less than the amount which would have been paid if the Work had been completed by the Contractor in accordance with the terms of the Contract, then the difference shall be paid to the Contractor in the same manner as the final payment under the Contract. If the total cost incurred by the City on account of termination of the Contract and subsequent completion of the Work by the City by whatever method the City may deem expedient shall exceed said amount which the Contractor would otherwise have been paid, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable to the City for the full amount of such excess expense.
(d) The rights and remedies of the City provided in this section are in addition to any of the rights and remedies provided by the law or under this Contract. 175
General Conditions
Page | 5-62

6.08. FAILURE TO TIMELY COMPLETE THE WORK – LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (a) Liquidated Damages
(1) It is agreed by the parties to this Contract that time is of the essence. In the event all the Work is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time limit as set in the Bid, Contract and/or Progress Schedule, or within any time extensions that may have been granted, damage will be sustained by the City; and that it may be impracticable to determine the actual amount of damage by reason of such delay. Accordingly, it is agreed that the Contractor shall pay to the City as damages the amount set forth for each and every day’s delay in finishing the Work in excess of the number of days specified. Liquidated damages shall be paid at a rate of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) per day unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents. The parties expressly agree that the liquidated damage clause found in the Contract Documents is reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time the Contract was made. The City shall have the right to deduct the amount of liquidated damages from any money due or to become due the Contractor. (2) In addition, the City shall have the right to charge to the Contractor and to deduct from the final or progress payments for the Work the actual cost to the City of legal, engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other expenses, which are directly chargeable to the Contract and which accrue during the period of such delay, except that the cost of final inspection and preparation of the final estimate shall not be included in the charges. (b) Exclusions
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06(a), the Contractor shall not be liable for liquidated damages or delays caused by the removal or relocation of utilities when such removal or relocation is the responsibility of the City or the owner of the utility under Government Code section 4215.

6.09. CLEAN-UP
During the progress of the Work, the Contractor shall maintain the Site and related structures and equipment in a clean, orderly condition and free from unsightly accumulation of rubbish. All waste materials shall be removed daily from the Site and disposed of by the Contractor by any proper means at its own expense unless designated otherwise on the plans.

No waste materials shall be placed in the public street right-of-way. Unless otherwise specified, all existing piping, materials and/or equipment removed pursuant to this Contract shall become the Contractor’s property.

Upon completion of the Work and before the final estimate is submitted, the Contractor shall, at its own cost and expense, remove from the vicinity of the Work all plants, buildings, rubbish, unused work materials, concrete forms, and temporary bridging and other like materials, belonging to the Contractor or used under the Contractor’s direction during the construction, and in the event of the Contractor’s failure to do so, the same may be removed by the City after ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Contractor. Such removal shall be at the expense of the Contractor.

The Contractor shall use care in the removal of materials and equipment so as not to cause damage to existing facilities and structures. Contractor shall assume liability for all such damage. Where the construction has crossed yards or driveways, restoration shall be by the Contractor to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer, at the Contractor’s expense. 176
General Conditions
Page | 5-63
The Contractor shall make its own arrangements for the disposal of waste materials. If the Contractor elects to dispose of such materials on private property, Contractor shall obtain written permission from all property owners involved.

SECTION 7

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

7.01. MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES
(a) Where the Contract provides for payment on a lump sum price basis, no measurement of quantity will be made. Where the Contract provides for payment on a unit price basis, the quantities of work performed will be computed by the Engineer on the basis of measurements taken by the Engineer, and these measurements shall be final and conclusive.
(b) All quantities of work computed under the Contract shall be based upon measurements by the Engineer according to United States Measurements and Weights.
(c) Methods of measurement are specified herein and in the Technical Specifications. (d) Mobilization shall be measured and payment issued according to Section 11 of the State Standard Specifications.

7.02. SCOPE OF PAYMENT
(a) The Contractor shall accept the compensation provided in the Contract as full payment for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals necessary to the completed work and for performing all work contemplated and embraced under the Contract; also for loss or damage arising from the nature of the work, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may be encountered during the prosecution of the Work until the Acceptance by the City and for all risks of every description connected with the prosecution of the Work, also for all expenses incurred in consequence of the suspension or discontinuance of the work as provided in the Contract; and for completing the Work according to the Specifications and Plans. Neither the payment of any estimate nor of any retained percentage shall relieve the Contractor of any obligation to make good any defective work or material. (b) No compensation will be made in any case for loss of anticipated profits. Increased or decreased work involving supplemental agreements will be paid for as provided in such agreements.
(c) The Work includes the preparatory work and operations needed for mobilization and demobilization of the Project. The Work, however, does not include establishing the Engineer’s field facility(s) of utility work and connections needed for these facilities.

7.03. PROGRESS ESTIMATE
For each calendar month of Contract work, the Engineer will prepare a progress estimate of all work performed under the Contract. Within the first ten (10) days of each succeeding calendar month, the Engineer will prepare in writing an estimate which in the Engineer’s opinion is a fair approximation of the value of all work done under the Contract, including any amounts due the Contractor for Extra Work and Change Orders. In arriving at the value of the Work done, the Engineer will give consideration to the value of labor and materials which have been incorporated into the permanent work by the Contractor during the preceding month. Consideration will not be given to preparatory work done or for materials or equipment on hand.
179
General Conditions
Page | 5-66
In order to assist the Engineer, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with copies of invoices for all such items delivered to the job site.

7.04. PROGRESS PAYMENTS
(a) The City will pay the Contractor ninety-five percent (95%) of the amount of each progress estimate within thirty (30) days after receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted progress estimate from the Contractor, unless the City has made a finding prebid pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7201(b)(4) justifying a larger retention. If the City fails to pay an undisputed progress estimate within the allotted thirty (30) days, the City shall pay interest to the Contractor equivalent to the legal rate set forth in subdivision (A) of section 685.010 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Five percent (5%) of the amount of each estimate shall be retained by the City until final completion and Acceptance of all work under the Contract. (b) Upon receipt of a payment request, the City shall act in accordance with both of the following:
(1) Each payment request shall be reviewed by the City as soon as practicable after receipt for the purpose of determining that the progress estimate is a proper payment request.
(2) Any payment request determined not to be a proper payment request suitable for payment shall be returned to the Contractor as soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) days, after receipt. A request returned pursuant to this section shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request is not proper. (c) The number of days available to the City to make a payment without incurring interest pursuant to this section shall be reduced by the number of days by which the City exceeds the seven-day return requirement set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b).
(d) The Contractor may, in accordance with the provisions of Public Contracts Code section 22300, substitute securities for any monies which the City may withhold to insure performance under the Contract.
(e) When, in the judgment of the Engineer, the Work is not proceeding in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, or when in the Engineer’s judgment the total amount of the Work done since the last estimate amounts to less than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), no pay estimate will be prepared and no progress payment will be made.
(f) No progress estimate or payment shall be considered to be an approval or Acceptance of any work, materials or equipment. Estimated amounts and values of work done and materials and equipment furnished will be conformed with actual amounts and values as they become available in subsequent progress estimates, progress payments and the final estimate and payment. All estimates and payments will be subject to correction in subsequent progress estimates and payments and the final estimate and payment.
(g) It is mutually agreed between the parties to the Contract that no payments made under the Contract, including progress payments and the final payment shall be evidence of the performance of the Contract, either wholly or in part, and no 180
General Conditions
Page | 5-67
payment shall construed to be an Acceptance of any defective or incomplete work or improper materials.

7.05. PROMPT PROGRESS PAYMENT TO SUBCONTRACTORS
A prime Contractor or Subcontractor shall pay any Subcontractor not later than seven (7) days of receipt of each progress payment in accordance with the provisions in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code concerning prompt payment to Subcontractors.

The seven (7) days is applicable unless a longer period is agreed to in writing. Any delay or postponement of payment over 30 days may take place only for good cause and with the City’s prior written approval. Any violation of Section 7108.5 shall subject the violating Contractor or Subcontractor to the penalties, sanctions and other remedies of that section. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies otherwise available to the Contractor or Subcontractor in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the prime Contractor, deficient subcontract performance, or noncompliance by a Subcontractor. This provision applies to both DBE and non-DBE Subcontractors.

7.06. LIENS AND STOP NOTICES
The Contractor agrees to keep the Work, the site of the Work and all monies held by the City free and clear of all liens and stop notices related to labor and materials furnished in connection with the Work, if permitted by law. Furthermore, the Contractor waives any right it may have to file any type of lien or stop notice in connection with the Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Contract Documents, if any such lien or stop notice is filed or there is evidence to believe that lien or stop notice may be filed at any time during the progress of the Work or within the duration of this Contract, the City may refuse to make any payment otherwise due the Contractor or may withhold any payment due the Contractor a sum sufficient in the opinion of the City to pay all obligations and expenses necessary to satisfy such lien or stop notice. The City may withhold such payment unless or until the Contractor, within ten days after demand therefor by the City, shall furnish satisfactory evidence that the indebtedness and any lien or stop notice in respect thereof has been satisfied, discharged and released of record, or that the Contractor has legally caused such lien or stop notice to be released of record pending the resolution of any dispute between the Contractor and any person or persons filing such lien or stop notice. If the Contractor shall fail to furnish such satisfactory evidence within ten days of the demand therefor, the City may discharge such indebtedness and deduct the amount thereof, together with any and all losses, costs and damages suffered or incurred by the City from any sum payable to the Contractor under the Contract Documents, including but not limited to final payment and retained percentage. This section shall be specifically included in all Subcontracts and purchase orders entered into by the Contractor.

7.07. FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND DATE OF COMPLETION
Whenever the Contractor shall deem all Work under this Contract to have been completed in accordance therewith, the Contractor shall so notify the Engineer in writing, and the Engineer shall promptly ascertain whether the Work has been satisfactorily completed and, if not, shall advise the Contractor in detail and in writing of any additional work required. When all the provisions of the Contract have been fully complied with, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the Engineer shall proceed with all reasonable diligence to determine accurately the total value of all Work performed by the Contractor at the prices set forth in the Contract or fixed by Change Orders, and the total value of all extra work, all in accordance with the Contract.

The Engineer will then certify to said final estimate and to the completion of the Work, and will file copies thereof with the City and the Contractor, and shall cause of Notice of Completion to be filed with the Yolo County Clerk-Recorder. The date of completion shall be the date of filing of the Notice of Completion. All guarantees, warranties, and securities securing said guarantees and warranties, shall commence on said date. 181

7.08. RIGHT TO WITHHOLD PAYMENTS
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies of the City hereunder and by virtue of the law, the City may withhold or nullify the whole or any part of any partial or final payment to such extent as may reasonably be necessary to protect the City from loss on account of:
(1) Defective work not remedied, irrespective of when any such work be found to be defective;
(2) Claims or liens filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims or liens including, but not limited to claims under Sections 1775, 1776, or 1777.7 of the Labor Code;
(3) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly for labor, materials, equipment, or other facilities, or to Subcontractors and/or suppliers; (4) A reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the balance then unearned;
(5) A reasonable doubt that the Contractor will complete the Work within the agreed time limits;
(6) Costs to the City resulting from failure of the Contractor to complete the Work within the proper time; or
(7) Damage to work or property.
(b) Whenever the City shall, in accordance herewith, withhold any monies otherwise due the Contractor, written notice of the amount withheld and the reasons therefor will be given the Contractor. After the Contractor has corrected the enumerated deficiencies, the City will promptly pay to the Contractor the amount so withheld.

When monies are withheld to protect the City against claims or liens of mechanics, material men, Subcontractors, etc., the City may at its discretion permit the Contractor to deliver a surety bond in terms and amount satisfactory to the City, indemnifying the City against any loss or expense, and upon Acceptance thereof by the City, the City shall release to the Contractor monies so withheld.

7.09. FINAL PAYMENT
Within ten (10) days after the date of completion, the City will file in the Office of the County Recorder, a Notice of Completion of the Work herein agreed to be done by the Contractor. Within sixty (60) days of completion defined in Public Contract Code section 7107, the difference between said final estimate and all payments theretofore made to the Contractor shall be due and payable to the Contractor, subject to any requirements concerning the furnishings of a maintenance bond, and excepting only such sum or sums as may be withheld or deducted in accordance with the provisions of this Contract.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide information to the City Council to facilitate consideration of Resolution 23-52 declaring City-owned properties located at 811-826 West Capitol Avenue (APNs 067-320-007, 067-330- 002, 067-330-017, 008-150-033, 008-150-066, and 008-150-067) as exempt surplus property. Apart from the first APN listed, which is the Rodeway Inn, these properties are commonly known as the northern portion (or vacant parcels) remaining of the Grand Gateway Master Plan Area.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 23-52 declaring City-owned properties located at 811-826 West Capitol Avenue as exempt surplus property.

BACKGROUND
For the past decade or more, the City has been assembling the Grand Gateway Master Plan area and consolidating the properties in preparation for future development. As shown the Attachment 1, the Grand Gateway Master Plan area is located at the eastern end of the West Capitol Avenue and the City’s designated Civic Center and is also part of the Washington Historic District and the Bridge District. The parcels are zoned Central Business District or Waterfront, both of which are urban infill mixed-use designations.

In addition to acquiring and consolidating the site, the City has pursued several grants to fund redevelopment of the site. In 2013, the City received a grant from the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District from its Infill Streamlining Program (ISP) to prepare the Grand Gateway Master Plan (GGMP). The ISP’s goal was to fund planning efforts to assist local jurisdictions in building communities’ resilience to air pollution. In 2016, the City received a grant from the State’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program. The AHSC Program was created to invest Cap and Trade proceeds in infrastructure and housing projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by supporting more compact, infill development patterns, as reflected in the GGMP. With these funds, the City constructed the offsite improvements for the northern portion of the GGMP area. In addition, one third of the grant funds contributed towards the West Gateway Phase I (completed) and West Gateway Phase 2 (underway) projects.

In 2021, the City received a grant from the State’s Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant program to advance implementation of adopted regional plans by funding planning and implementation activities that accelerate infill housing and reduce emissions. These grant funds must be expended by July 2024 and are set aside to provide technical assistance to the City for surveying and entitlement activities, the design of park and public art spaces in the GGMP area, to assess parking needs, and to assist staff in the evaluation of development proposals.

In 2020, the City acquired the Rodeway Inn property shown on Attachment 1, which is adjacent to the GGMP area. The City acquired this property under the State’s Homekey Program. The purpose of the Homekey Program was to provide funding to local jurisdictions to acquire properties to supply interim or permanent supportive housing options for persons experiencing homelessness and who are also at risk of COVID-19. Under the Homekey Program the City is obligated to provide these services to the program participants at the Rodeway Inn for five years. This commitment expires in December 2025.

ANALYSIS
As described above, the City has been working diligently towards implementing the development objectives for the GGMP area, including leveraging internal and external resources to transform the eastern end of the City’s 204 Resolution 23-52 Declaring the Grand Gateway Properties as Exempt Surplus Property June 28, 2023
