FEBRUARY 2025 AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to celebrate African American’s contributions to our society during the month of February and recognize their courageous efforts to ensure equity and peace for all people.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt a proclamation recognizing February 2025 as Black History Month.

BACKGROUND
Black History Month has been celebrated every February since 1976, when President Gerald Ford officially recognized it as a national observance. This month holds significance as the birth month of two prominent figures in the fight for freedom: President Abraham Lincoln, born February 12, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and Frederick Douglass, born February 14, a leader in the abolitionist movement. The celebration of their contributions eventually led to the establishment of Black History Month, originally stemming from Negro History Week, observed during the second week of February.

ANALYSIS
The 2025 Black History Month theme, "African Americans and Labor," focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds—free and unfree, skilled and unskilled, vocational and voluntary— intersect with the collective experiences of Black people. African Americans have played a significant role in the economic, cultural, spiritual, and political development of West Sacramento. Recognizing Black History Month not only highlights the past achievements of individuals like Lincoln and Douglass, but also emphasizes the ongoing efforts to address disparities in education, healthcare, and diversity hiring. The election of Dr.

Dawnté Early as the first African American Councilmember in 2021 underscores the city's commitment to inclusivity and representation. Adoption of this proclamation signifies the City's acknowledgment of the important role African Americans have played in our history and the City’s continuing work toward becoming an inclusive community where all citizens feel supported, recognized, and represented.

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to adopt Resolution 25-6, amending the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), approve the project plans and specifications, and award a construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Abide Builders, Inc., for the Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion Project (CIP 62155).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Find that approval of a construction contract with Abide Builders, Inc. is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Categorical Exemptions under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Divisions 6, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Sections 15301, 15303, and 15304, and find that the determination represents the independent judgement of the City; 2) Adopt Resolution 25-6 amending the Capital Improvement Program budget (Attachment 1); 3) Award a contract for construction services to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Abide Builders, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $5,988,279.50 for the Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion Project (Attachment 2);
4) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a construction contract with Abide Builders, Inc. in the amount of $5,988,279.50;
5) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to make contract amendments up to 7% ($419,179.57) of the total contract value;
6) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to the contract, with approval from the City Attorney; and
7) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to extend the term of the contract, if necessary.

BACKGROUND
Westacre Park, located at 1755 Evergreen Avenue, is owned by Washington Unified School District (WUSD), but improved and maintained by the City as part of a Joint Use Agreement between WUSD and the City. The existing park amenities include a dated skate park, basketball court, a play structure without shade, and turf areas used for soccer and other sports. As part of its facility and budget planning effort, WUSD has offered additional property located immediately adjacent to the park site for a potential park expansion. The additional parcel includes a parking area, as well as empty warehouse buildings.

On June 5, 2019, the City Council authorized the submission of a grant application to the California Department of Parks and Recreation for the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) for $7.843 million for improvements to Westacre Park. The grant application for this site included renovating the existing skatepark, removing the existing warehouse buildings, and expanding the park to provide additional parking. Proposed park improvements also include renovating the basketball court and play fields, installing new play equipment with added shade structure, creating a shaded seating area, adding a multi-use sports court, developing walking loops, installing lighting, enhancing landscaping, constructing a restroom building to support athletic field use, and incorporating any other improvements identified through the community engagement process.

On December 7, 2021, the City was notified of successfully receiving $7,843,000 of SPP grant funding for design and construction improvements to Westacre Park and subsequently entered into a grant agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation for this funding on May 5, 2022. All work on the project must be completed by the end of the grant performance period, which ends December 1, 2027. 14 Construction Contract to Abide Builders, Inc. for the Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion Project (CIP 62155) February 19, 2025

On April 1, 2022, the Capital Projects Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design of the Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation Project improvements. City staff received five (5) proposals from design firms, which were ranked and evaluated by staff from the Capital Projects and Parks and Recreation departments. Melton Design Group, Inc. (MDG) ranked first based on the specified criteria. MDG submitted a robust proposal that incorporated all elements that were identified in the SPP grant application.

On July 20, 2022, the City Council approved a professional services contract with MDG for the design of the Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation Project. MDG completed the design phase in September 2024, and the project was submitted for building permits. A formal invitation to bid was then released.

On May 28, 2024, the City of West Sacramento was notified that the Rotary Club of West Sacramento had chosen to gift $150,000 from the Sutter Health Community Investment Program to support the creation of a Westacre Reflexology Path and Labyrinth.

ANALYSIS
On September 26, 2024, pursuant to the Public Contract Code, the project was publicly advertised for construction in the City of West Sacramento News Ledger, on the City of West Sacramento website, and on Opengov (an online procurement system). At the close of the bidding period on December 12, 2024, three (3) proposals were received. The results are as follows:

Table 1: Bid Results
Rank Contractor Total Bid
1 Abide Builders, Inc. $5,988,279.50
2 Imagecon, Inc. $6,165,167.59
3 JPB Designs, Inc. $6,264,162.00
After reviewing and evaluating all proposals, staff received a bid protest asserting that the top-ranked bidder’s submission should be disqualified as unresponsive due to two undervalued items in their cost table. Following consultation with the City Attorney, staff determined that the bid submitted by Abide Builders, Inc. was responsive and met all requirements outlined in the bid documents. Abide Builders also affirmed their commitment to stand by the low-valued bid items. Based on a thorough evaluation, staff identified Abide Builders, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve awarding the construction contract to Abide Builders, Inc. for the bid amount of $5,988,279.50.

The construction contract includes the following amenities and improvements to support the park use: an updated skate park and pump track, a splash pad, a climbing wall, public restroom facilities, basketball, pickleball, and futsol courts, soccer fields, shade structures, a health and fitness labyrinth, play structures, site lighting, trash receptacles, and updated parking areas that conform to ADA requirements.

Environmental Considerations
The construction contract for Westacre Park is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Categorical Exemptions under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Divisions 6, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Sections 15301, 15303, and 15304. As part of the Statewide Park Program grant application submittal, on June 5, 2019, the City Council approved a Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the project. A NOE will also be filed in conjunction with the approval of this contract.

Commission Recommendation
Over the past several years, both the Parks, Recreation and Intergenerational Services Commission, and Arts, Culture and Historic Preservation Commission have provided input on the Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation project as part of a robust community engagement process. On April 5, 2022, the Parks Recreation, and Intergenerational Services Commission received an update on the Parks and Recreation Department’s major projects and programs for 2022-2025, which included the Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation Project. The Commission unanimously supported moving the project forward and encouraged staff to begin park maintenance planning so that a plan and funding will available upon project completion to maintain the new improvements.

Strategic Plan Integration

Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below:
1) Approve the recommended actions as described above in this report. 2) Reject the recommended actions, or direct staff to alter the recommended actions. 3) Defer or cancel the project.

Staff recommends that the Council proceed with Alternative 1, as Alternative 2 is not recommended due to its potential to significantly delay the project and put the grant funding in jeopardy due to not meeting schedule milestones. The consequence of not meeting the grant deadline could require the City to return the grant funds received.

Alternative 3 is not recommended because not approving the recommended action or cancelling the project would forfeit vital state grant funding, hinder the much-needed revitalization of a key community asset, and ultimately limit opportunities for enhanced recreation and community engagement. This decision would negatively impact our residents and undermine our commitment to fostering a vibrant, sustainable community.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with, and reviewed by, the Parks and Recreation Department, the City Manager’s Office, and the Finance Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
This project is funded by the $7,843,000 Proposition 68 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) grant and appropriated in the current year’s budget (CIP 62155). Additional funds are requested to fully fund the improvements at Westacre Park. An additional appropriation of $150,000 from the Rotary Club of West Sacramento and $118,751 is proposed to be funded through a transfer from the Park Improvement Fund (211).

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: 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 (Caltrans) Standard Specifications 2015.

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 46 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion

Updated 2/17/23
the execution of this Contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations contained herein.

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 47 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion
Project Expires: 180 Working Days
Updated 2/17/23
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.

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
48 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion
Project Expires: 180 Working Days
Updated 2/17/23
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, 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.

Project Expires: 180 Working Days
Updated 2/17/23
(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.
(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 50 Abide Builders, Inc.

Project Expires: 180 Working Days
Updated 2/17/23
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 Sub-Subcontractors 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 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 51 Abide Builders, Inc.

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 an 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.

In such cases, disputes shall be submitted at the earliest practicable time in which such a determination can be made. In any event, all disputes shall be filed on or before the date of the final release by the Contractor as provided for in Section 7.09.

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 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, 57 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion

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.

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.
(c) 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. (d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) 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 discovered either prior to or after the Drawings are processed by the Engineer, the Specifications shall control and shall be followed.
(g) Unless otherwise stated, the Engineer shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of Shop and/or Working Drawings for review.
(h) 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 58 Abide Builders, Inc.

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.

Alternatively, the Engineer may provide the Contractor with drawings showing benchmarks and reference points as it deems necessary to establish lines and grades required for the completion of the site work specified in the Contract Documents.

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 contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations and without such notice to the Engineer, Contractor shall bear all costs arising therefrom. 59 Abide Builders, Inc.

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.

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.

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.

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 may make the ordered repairs, or remove the condemned materials, and deduct the cost thereof from any monies due the Contractor.

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.

(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 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.

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 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.
(d) The form of the Certificate of Compliance and its disposition shall be as directed by the Engineer.

SECTION 6

PROGRESS AND COMPLETION OF WORK

6.01. PROGRESS SCHEDULE
The Contractor shall submit within ten (10) days after execution of the Contract a detailed work schedule(s) which shall detail the actions of the Contractor and Subcontractors working at the Site. This schedule(s) shall both show the dates at which the Contractor will start and complete and conform to the completion time specified in the Contract. The controlling operation, defined as the least float path, if any, shall be identified.

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. 87 Abide Builders, Inc.

(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 6.05, 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 construed as a waiver of such right. It is 88 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion
Project Expires: 180 Working Days
Updated 2/17/23
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

6.05. 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 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 89 Abide Builders, Inc.

Updated 2/17/23
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 4.0 of the Special 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:

(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 2.04(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.

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.
(d) The provisions of this section shall be included in all subcontracts.

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 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.

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 one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per day unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents.

The parties expressly agree that the liquidated damage clause found in the Contract Documents 93 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion

Updated 2/17/23
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

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.

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.

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 95 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion
Project Expires: 180 Working Days
Updated 2/17/23
month. Consideration will not be given to preparatory work done or for materials or equipment on hand.

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 96 Abide Builders, Inc.

CPC24-355 Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion
Project Expires: 180 Working Days
Updated 2/17/23
performance of the Contract, either wholly or in part, and no 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.

02630-4
Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation Project Section 02630 September 2024 Storm Drainage
A. Make connections to existing piping and underground structures so that finished Work will conform as nearly as practicable to requirements specified for new Work.

B. Into underground structures or pipes 24 inches and larger: Cut opening into unit sufficiently large to allow 3 inches of concrete to be packed around entering connection. Cut ends of connection passing through pipe or structure wall to conform to shape of and be flush with inside wall. On outside of pipe or structure wall, encase entering connection in 6 inches of concrete for minimum length of 12 inches to provide additional support of collar from connection to undisturbed ground. Provide 3000 pounds per square inch concrete. Use epoxy bonding compound as interface between new and existing concrete and piping materials.

C. Take care while making tap connections to prevent concrete or debris from entering existing pipe or structure. Remove debris, concrete, or other extraneous material, which may accumulate.

3.06 CLEANING
A. Clean pipe to be tested by propelling a snug fitting inflated rubber ball through the pipe with water to remove any debris.

3.07 LEAK TESTING
A. Testing of all portions of the storm drain system including manholes is required.

B. For either exfiltration or infiltration test, the maximum leakage shall not exceed 250 gallons per inch of pipe diameter per mile per 24 hours as measured over a period of 30 minutes minimum. Should the leakage exceed the maximum allowable rate, the contractor shall repair, overhaul, or rebuild the defective portion of the sewer line.

After repairs have been completed by the Contractor, the line shall be retested as specified above.

C. Manholes shall be filled with water to the rim of the frame casting and shall lose no more than 2 inches over a period of 30 minutes.

D. The final test shall be performed after the line has been laid and all backfill placed and compacted. The Contractor, at his option, may test the line at any time during construction. However, the final test for acceptance shall be made only after all backfill is in place and compacted. In the event that the exfiltration test prescribed above is impractical due to wet trench conditions, these portions of the storm drain line where such conditions are encountered will be tested for infiltration. The Owner’s Representative shall determine whether the exfiltration or infiltration test will be used.

E. Even though the test for leakage is within the prescribed limits, the Contractor shall repair any obvious leaks.

F. Low pressure air testing may be used in lieu of water testing at the option of the 211
02630-5
Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation Project Section 02630 September 2024 Storm Drainage
Contractor. Water testing may be required by the Owner’s Representative. The following procedure shall be used for air testing:

1. Plug all pipe outlets with suitable test plugs. Brace each plug securely.

2. If the pipe to be tested is submerged in ground water, insert a pipe probe, by boring or jetting, into the backfill material adjacent to the center of the pipe, and determine the pressure in the probe when air passes slowly through it. This is the back pressure due to ground water submergence over the end of the probe. All gauge pressures in the test should be increased by this amount.

3. Add air slowly to the portion of the pipe installation under test until the internal pressure is raised to 5.0 psig.

4. Check exposed pipe and plugs for abnormal leakage by coating with a soap solution. If any leakage is observed, bleed off air and make necessary repairs.

5. After an internal pressure of 5.0 psig. is obtained, allow at least two minutes for air temperature to stabilize, adding only the amount of air required to maintain pressure.

6. After the two minute period, disconnect the air supply and start stopwatch. The pressure of 5.0 psig. shall be maintained for 5 minutes.

7. As an alternate, the contractor may request the air testing procedure as presented in Section 306-1.4.4 of the 1997 edition of the “Greenbook” Standard Specifications.

3.08 DEFLECTION TESTING (PIPES GREATER THAN 8 INCHES ONLY) A. After pipe installation and placement and compaction of backfill, but prior to placement of pavement, all PVC and HDPE pipe shall be cleaned and then mandrel tested for obstructions, such as, but not limited to, deflections, joint offsets and lateral pipe intrusions. A rigid mandrel shall be pulled through the pipe by hand. The minimum length of the circular portion of the mandrel shall be equal to the nominal diameter of the pipe. All obstructions encountered by the mandrel shall be corrected by the Contractor. Obstructions due to deflection shall be corrected by replacement of the overdeflected pipe. Mechanical re-rounding is not permitted.

B. If a section of pipe fails to meet the mandrel test and is reinstalled and fails the second time, said section(s) of pipe shall be replaced with rigid pipe material approved by the Owner’s Representative.

3.09 DISPOSAL
A. Lawfully dispose of all unsuitable and excess or surplus material off-site at no cost to the Owner.
