TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: John Ferons, Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: Rosalba Ramirez, Deputy Public Works Director SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution Number 22-4121 Approving the Plans and Specifications for the Measure T Fiscal Year 2023 project titled Measure T Street Rehabilitation at Various Locations Project Number MT-3023 and authorizing staff to solicit bids for the project.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
In November 2012, the voters of Napa County approved a ½-cent sales tax known as Measure T, implemented July 1, 2018, to be used for maintenance, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of streets, sidewalks, and transportation infrastructure within the public right-of-way. At the December 7, 2021, Town Council meeting, Town Council adopted the 2022-2027 Measure T 5-Year plan.
The Town contracted Pavement Engineering Inc.(PEI) to design the 2022-23 Measure T project, approved under the Town Manager’s signing authority. Construction plans and specifications were completed in May 2022.
PEI’s estimate of probable cost for the Measure T Street Rehabilitation at Various Locations Project Number MT-3023 is $293,348. The current budget for the project is $550,000. The approved Measure T 5 Year plan included the first two years of projects, including this current project, to be under the annual Measure T budget.
This will allow the Town to accumulate reserves in the Measure T fund for a tentative year 3 project, which is anticipated to cost over the annual measure T budget, for the rehabilitation of Washington Street from Yount Street north to the Town limits.
The project is budgeted in the upcoming Capital Improvement Plan with MT -3023, the Annual Street Maintenance and Paving Program which includes the rehabilitation of the public streets at various locations in Town. These project sites were determined through annual pavement condition inspections and the current pavement condition rating of streets.
This project consists of the rehabilitation of the Yount Mill Road from Yount Street to the Town Limits, Mesa Ct. from Yountville Crossroad to end, Humboldt St. from Washington St. to Yount St., and Harvest Ct. from Heritage Way to end, Rehabilitation to consist of grinding the existing asphalt and or/ overlaying the street surface with new hot-mix asphalt. Also included in this project are repairs to smaller sections of roadway on Finnell Rd from Yount St. to the east Town limits, and Yountville Crossroad from Yount St. to the east Town limits in preparation for the following fiscal year’s microsurfacing project.
Town staff is anticipating the project construction to be scheduled for summer 2022 on a maximum 30-day work schedule, weather permitting.
The construction documents are substantially complete and ready to be advertised for bid. The solicitation for bids must be advertised for 30-days per Town Municipal Code 3.32.340 Formal Bidding Procedures.
Staff is recommending the Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize staff to solicit bids for the construction of the Measure T Street Rehabilitation at Various Locations Project Number MT-3023.

TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA

B1.19 AWARD OF CONTRACT
The Contract will be awarded, if at all, to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, whose bid proposal is not rejected for cause by the Agency. For purposes of determining the lowest responsible bidder, either the total bid amount or the sum total of bid schedule items may be used. However, until an award is made, the Agency reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and to waive technical errors or discrepancies, if to do so is deemed to best serve the interests of the Agency. In no event will an award be made until all necessary investigations are made as to the responsibility and qualifications of the bidder to whom it is proposed to make such an award.
Each bidder’s attention is directed to the possibility that the award of the project may be delayed for various reasons. The Agency reserves the right to delay the award of the project for 45 calendar days. After 45 calendar days, the low bidder may at any time request release from its bid without penalty.
The acceptance of a proposal will be evidenced by a Notice of Award of Contract in writing, delivered by mail to the bidder whose proposal is accepted.

Within ten (10) calendar days after contract award, the Agency will release the bid bonds accompanying the proposals which are not to be considered in making the award.

B1.21 EXECUTION OF CONTRACT
The contract agreement shall be executed in duplicate by the successful bidder and returned, together with the contract bonds and evidence of insurance, within ten (10) calendar days after the notification of the contract award by the Agency in writing. In case of failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract agreement within ten (10) calendar days after such notice, or any subsequent extension approved by Agency, the Agency at its option may consider the bidder in default, in which case the bid bond or proposal guarantee accompanying the bid shall become the property of the Agency. After execution by the Agency, one original contract shall be returned to the Contractor.

STATEMENT REGARDING CONTRACTOR’S LICENSING LAWS
[Business & Professions Code § 7028.15]
[Public Contract Code § 20103.5]
I, the undersigned, certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that I, or the entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor’s license as set forth below:
Business & Professions Code § 7028.15:
a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor within this state without having a license therefor, except in any of the following cases:
(1)The person is particularly exempted from this chapter. (2)The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of the Public Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now § 20103.5] of the Public Contract Code.
b) If a person has been previously convicted of the offense described in this section, the court shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which the unlicensed person performed contracting work, or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or both.
In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor on an hourly basis, “the price of the contract” for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggregate sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed.
c) This section shall not apply to a joint venture license, as required by Section 7029.1.
However, at the time of making a bid as a joint venture, each person submitting the bid shall be subject to this section with respect to their individual licenser. d) This section shall not affect the right or ability of a licensed architect, land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within the scope of their respective practices. e) Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a bid submitted to a public agency by a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered nonresponsive and shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or employee of a public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter. The amount of civil penalties, appeal, and finality of such citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to, or any purchase order issued to, as contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter is void.
f) Any compliance or noncompliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter 863 of the Statutes of 1989, shall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a public agency during which time that subdivision was in effect.
MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
g) A public employee or officer shall not be subject to a citation pursuant to this section if the public employee, officer, or employing agency made an inquiry to the board for the purposes of verifying the license status of any person or contractor and the board failed to respond to the inquiry within three business days. For purposes of this section, a telephone response by the board shall be deemed sufficient.
Public Contract Code § 20103.5:
In all contracts subject to this part where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of this state.
However, at the time the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the agency that the records of the Contractors’ State License Board indicate that the contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors’ State License Board. The agency shall include a statement to that effect in the standard form of pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.

Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of the work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the aforesaid Contract Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.

D. Pursuant to Labor Code § 1776, CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor shall keep accurate payroll records, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with this AGREEMENT.
Each payroll record shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under penalty of perjury, stating both of the following: (1) The information contained in the payroll record is true and correct; and (2) The employer has complied with the requirements of Labor Code §§ 1811, and 1815 for any work performed by his or her employees on the public works project.

CONTRACTOR shall strictly adhere to the provisions of the Labor Code regarding the 8-hour day and the 40-hour week, overtime, Saturday, Sunday and holiday work and nondiscrimination on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex or sexual orientation, except as provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Labor Code, eight hours’ labor shall constitute a legal day’s work.

F. This AGREEMENT is subject to Public Contract Code Section 6109: CONTRACTOR shall be prohibited from performing work on this project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on the project pursuant to Sections 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code.
ARTICLE V: Work Site Conditions
A. In compliance with and pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, AGENCY shall assume the responsibility, as between the parties to this AGREEMENT, for the timely removal, relocation, or protection of existing main- or trunk-line utility facilities located on the site of any construction project that is a subject of this AGREEMENT, if such utilities are not identified by AGENCY in the plans and specifications made a part of the invitation for bids. The Contract Documents shall include provisions to compensate CONTRACTOR for the costs of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of CONTRACTOR to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating such utility facilities not indicated in the plans and specifications with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the project necessarily idled MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
during such work. CONTRACTOR shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project, when such delay was caused by the failure of AGENCY or the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of such utility facilities.
B. To the extent that the work requires trenches in excess of five feet (5’) and is estimated to cost more than $25,000, prior to any excavation, CONTRACTOR must provide the AGENCY, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the AGENCY to whom authority has been delegated to accept such plans, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. If such plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders.
C. This AGREEMENT is further subject to Public Contract Code Section 7104 with regard to any trenches deeper than four feet (4’) involved in the proposed work as follows:
CONTRACTOR shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify AGENCY, in writing, of any:
(1) Material that CONTRACTOR believes may be hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, which is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with existing law.
(2) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated by all available information provided prior to the deadline for submission of bids. (3) Unknown physical 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.
AGENCY shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, AGENCY shall issue a change order under the procedures described in this AGREEMENT.
In the event that a dispute arises between AGENCY and CONTRACTOR whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, CONTRACTOR shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided in the AGREEMENT, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the AGREEMENT. CONTRACTOR shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.
ARTICLE VI: Insurance
A. With respect to performance of work under this AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR shall maintain, and shall require all of its subcontractors to maintain, insurance as required by Section E “Standard Specifications” of the Contract Documents.
B. This AGREEMENT is further subject to Workers’ Compensation obligations, including, but not limited to, California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 1861 as follows:
MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
CONTRACTOR shall take out and maintain, during the life of this contract, Worker’s Compensation Insurance for all of CONTRACTOR’s employees employed at the site of improvement; and, if any work is sublet, CONTRACTOR shall require the subcontractor similarly to provide Worker’s Compensation Insurance for all of the latter’s employees, unless such employees are covered by the protection afforded by CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR and any of CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors shall be required to provide AGENCY with a written statement acknowledging its obligation to secure payment of Worker’s Compensation Insurance as required by Labor Code § 1861; to wit: ‘I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.’ If any class of employees engaged in work under this AGREEMENT at the site of the Project is not protected under any Worker’s Compensation law, CONTRACTOR shall provide and shall cause each subcontractor to provide adequate insurance for the protection of employees not otherwise protected. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY for any damage resulting from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain such insurance.

3-3.2 Payment.
3-3.2.1 General. When the price for the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the AGENCY will pay for the extra work based on the accumulation of costs as provided herein. 3-3.2.2 Basis for Establishing Costs.
(a) Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual costs for wages of workers performing the extra work at the time the extra work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes, workers compensation insurance, liability insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs, resulting from Federal, State, or local laws, as well as assessments or benefits required by lawful collection bargaining agreements.
The use of a labor classification which would increase the extra work cost will not be permitted unless the CONTRACTOR establishes the necessity for such additional costs. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental. The labor costs for foremen shall be proportioned to all of their assigned work and only that applicable to extra work will be paid.
Nondirect labor costs, including superintendence, shall be considered part of the markup of 3-3.2.3 (a).
(b) Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which such materials are locally available and delivered to the job site in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight, and delivery.
The AGENCY reserves the right to approve materials and sources of supply, or to supply materials to the CONTRACTOR if necessary for the progress of the Work. No markup shall be applied to any materials provided by the AGENCY.
(c) Tool and Equipment Rental. No payment will be made for the use of tools which have a replacement value of $200 or less.
Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs shall not exceed listed rates prevailing locally at equipment rental agencies, or distributors, at the time the work is performed.
The rental rates paid shall include the cost of fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, repairs and maintenance of any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals. Necessary loading and transportation costs for equipment used on the extra work shall be included.
If equipment is used intermittently and, when not in use, could be returned to its rental source at less expense to the AGENCY than holding it at the Work site, it shall be returned, unless the CONTRACTOR elects to keep it at the Work site, at no expense to the AGENCY.
All equipment shall be acceptable to the Engineer, in good working condition, and suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used. Manufacturer’s ratings and approved modifications shall be used to classify equipment and it shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer.
The reported rental time for equipment already at the Work site shall be the duration of its use on the extra work. This time begins when equipment is first put into actual operation on the extra work, plus the time required to move it from its previous site and back, or to a closer site. (d) Other Items. The AGENCY may authorize other items which may be required on the extra work, including labor, services, materials, and equipment. These items must be different in MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
their nature from those required for the Work, and be of a type not ordinarily available from the CONTRACTOR of Subcontractors.
Invoices covering all such items in detail shall be submitted with the request for payment. (e) Invoices. Vendors’ invoices for materials, equipment rental and other expenditures shall be submitted with the request for payment. If the request for payment is not substantiated by invoices or other documentation, the AGENCY may establish the cost of the item involved at the lowest price which was current at the time of the report. 3-3.2.3 Markup.
(a) Work by CONTRACTOR. Unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit shall be added to the CONTRACTOR’s costs as determined under 3-3.2.2 and shall constitute the markup for all overhead and profit on work by the CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR shall also be compensated for the actual increase in the CONTRACTOR’s bond premium caused by the extra work.
(b) Work by Subcontractor. When any of the extra work is performed by a Subcontractor, the markup established in 3-3.2.3(a) shall be applied to the Subcontractor’s costs as determined under 3-3.2.2. Unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions, a reasonable allowance for the CONTRACTOR’s overhead and profit shall be added to the sum of the Subcontractor’s costs and markup and shall constitute the markup for all overhead and profit for the CONTRACTOR on work by the Subcontractor.
3-3.3 Daily Reports by CONTRACTOR. When the price for the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a daily report to the Engineer on forms approved by the AGENCY. Included are applicable delivery tickets, listing all labor, materials, and equipment involved for that day, and other services and expenditures when authorized. Failure to submit the daily report by the close of the next working day may waive any rights for that day. An attempt shall be made to reconcile the report daily, and it shall be signed by the Engineer and the CONTRACTOR. In the event of disagreement, pertinent notes shall be entered by each party to explain points which cannot be resolved immediately. Each party shall retain a signed copy of the report. Reports by Subcontractors or others shall be submitted through the CONTRACTOR.

which will insure the AGENCY’s interest, or, if the CONTRACTOR is not carrying out the intent of the Contract, the AGENCY may serve written notice upon the CONTRACTOR and the Surety on its Faithful Performance Bond demanding satisfactory compliance with the Contract.
The Contract may be canceled by the Town Council without liability for damage, when in the Town Council’s opinion the CONTRACTOR is not complying in good faith, has become insolvent, or has assigned or subcontracted any part of the Work without the Town Council’s consent. In the event of such cancellation, the CONTRACTOR will be paid the actual amount due based on Contract Unit Prices or lump sums bid and the quantity of the Work completed at the time of cancellation, less damages caused to the AGENCY by acts of the CONTRACTOR.

In any event, the cost of completing the Work shall be charged against the CONTRACTOR and its Surety and may be deducted from any money due or becoming due from the AGENCY. If the sums due under the Contract are insufficient for completion, the CONTRACTOR or Surety shall pay to the AGENCY within 5 days after the completion, all costs in excess of the sums due.
The provisions of this subsection shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the AGENCY under law.
6-5 TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT.

6-6 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME.
6-6.1 General. If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR, such delays will entitle the CONTRACTOR to an extension of time as provided herein, but the CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to such delays, except as provided in 6-6.3. Such unforeseen events may include: war, government regulations, labor disputes, strikes, fires, floods, adverse weather or elements necessitating cessation of work, inability to obtain materials, labor or equipment, required extra work, or other specific events as may be further described in the Specifications.
No extension of time will be granted for a delay caused by the CONTRACTOR’s inability to obtain materials unless the CONTRACTOR furnishes to the Engineer documentary proof. The proof must be provided in a timely manner in accordance with the sequence of the CONTRACTOR’s operations and the approved construction schedule.
If delays beyond the CONTRACTOR’s control are caused by events other than those mentioned above, the Engineer may deem an extension of time to be in the best interests of the AGENCY. The MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to such delays, except as provided in 6-6.3.
If delays beyond the CONTRACTOR’s control are caused solely by action or inaction by the AGENCY, such delays will entitle the CONTRACTOR to an extension of time as provided in 6-6.2. 6-6.1.1 Notice of Delays. Whenever the CONTRACTOR foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work, and in any event immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the CONTRACTOR regards as unavoidable, they shall notify the Engineer in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay and its cause so that the Engineer may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if prevention is not possible, may determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues, and to what extent it will delay the prosecution and completion of the work. Rain delays shall be requested the day of in writing for approval by the engineer. A listing of rain delays shall be provided weekly by the CONTRACTOR to the Engineer. It will be concluded that any and all delays which have occurred in the prosecution and completion of the work have been avoidable delays, except such delays as shall have been called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of their occurrence and found by him/her to have been unavoidable. The CONTRACTOR shall make no claims for any delay not called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of its occurrence as an unavoidable delay.
6-6.1.2 Avoidable Delays. Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all delays which in the opinion of the Engineer would have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the CONTRACTOR of their subcontractors. The following shall be considered avoidable delays within the meaning of the contract: 1) Delays in the prosecution of parts of the work which may in themselves be unavoidable but do not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work or the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified; 2) Reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting samples of materials and drawings to the Engineer for approval and from performing tests of materials, measurements, and inspections; 3) Reasonable interference of other CONTRACTORs employed by the AGENCY and/or other CONTRACTORs working in the area which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time agreed upon; 4) Delays resulting from inaccurate or incomplete shop drawing submittals; and 5) Interference of other CONTRACTORs performing concurrent work.
6-6.1.3 Extension of Time. In case the work is not completed in the time specified, including such extensions of time as may have been granted for unavoidable delays, the CONTRACTOR will be assessed damages for delay in accordance with Paragraph 6-9.1. The AGENCY, however, shall have the right to grant an extension of time for avoidable delay if it is deemed in their best interest to do so. During such extension of time, the CONTRACTOR will be charged for engineering and inspection services and other costs as provided in Paragraph 6-6.2.1 but will not be assessed damages pursuant to Paragraph 6-9.
The Contractor may make a Claim for an extension of the Contract time, for an Excusable Delay or a Compensable Delay, as defined in section 6-6.3 below, subject to the following:
(a) If an Excusable Delay and a Compensable Delay occur concurrently, the maximum extension of the Contract time shall be the number of days from the commencement of the first delay to the cessation of the delay which ends last. (b) If an Inexcusable Delay occurs concurrently with either an Excusable Delay or a Compensable Delay, the maximum extension of the Contract time shall be the number of days, if any, by which the Excusable Delay or the Compensable Delay exceeds the Inexcusable Delay.
MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
(c) If an Inexcusable Delay occurs concurrently with both an Excusable Delay and a Compensable Delay, the maximum extension in the Contract time shall be the number of days, if any, by which the number of days determined pursuant to Subparagraph (a) exceeds the number of days of the Inexcusable Delay.
6-6.2 Extensions of Time. Extensions of time, when granted, will be based upon the effect of delays to the Work, They will not be granted for noncontrolling delays to minor portions of the Work unless it can be shown that such delays did or will delay the progress of the Work. 6-6.2.1 Compensation to AGENCY for Extension of Time. Compensation for extension of time for avoidable delay granted pursuant to Paragraph 6-6.1.3 shall be the actual cost to the AGENCY for engineering, inspection, general supervision, and overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the work and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final inspection and preparation of the final estimate shall not be included. 6-6.3 Payment for Delays to CONTRACTOR. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
"Excusable Delay" means any delay of the completion of the Project beyond the expiration of the Contract time caused by conditions beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor such as strikes, embargoes, fire, unavoidable casualties, unusual delays in transportation, national emergency, and stormy and inclement weather conditions in which the work cannot continue.
The financial inability of the Contractor or any subcontractor and default of any subcontractor, without limitation, shall not be deemed conditions beyond the Contractor's control. An Excusable Delay may entitle the Contractor to an adjustment in the Contract time. "Compensable Delay" means any delay of the completion of the work beyond the expiration date of the Contract time caused by the gross negligence or willful acts of the Town, and which delay is unreasonable under the circumstances involved, and not within the contemplation of the parties. A Compensable Delay may entitle the Contractor to an extension of the Contract time or Contract price.
Except as provided herein, the Contractor shall have no claim for damage or compensation for any delay, interruption, hindrance, or disruption.
"Inexcusable Delay" means any delay of the completion of the Project beyond the expiration of the Contract time resulting from causes other than those listed above. An Inexcusable Delay shall not entitle the Contractor to an extension of the Contract time or an adjustment of the Contract price.
For a Compensable Delay, the Contractor shall only be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract price in an amount equal to the actual additional labor costs, material costs, and unavoidable equipment costs incurred by the Contractor as a result of the Compensable Delay, plus the actual additional wages or salaries and fringe benefits and payroll taxes of supervisory and administrative personnel necessary and directly employed at the Project site for the supervision of the work during the period of Compensable Delay. Except as provided herein, the Contractor shall have no claim for damage or compensation for any delay, interruption, hindrance, or disruption. There shall be no Compensable Delay unless the event or occurrence giving rise to the Compensable Delay extends the actual completion of the Project past the Contract time.
The parties agree that the Town’s exercise of its rights to order changes in the work, regardless of the extent and number of changes, or to suspend the work, is within the contemplation of the parties and shall not be the basis for any Claim for Compensable Delay. The rights of the Contractor to adjustments of the Contract Time and the Contract Sum, based on changes ordered in the work or suspension of the work, shall be solely governed by this provision.
Contractor agrees that the daily Contractor Delay Damages as set forth in the Proposal Form shall be full compensation to Contractor, all subcontractors and anyone for whom they may be legally MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS

responsible, for each day of compensable delay, including but not limited to, extended field costs, extended home overhead costs, impact, inefficiency, unabsorbed home office overhead, underabsorbed home office overhead, hindrance, disruption or any other damage arising from delay, no matter how characterized and regardless of the cause, extent or duration of the delay. Inclusion of Contractor Delay Damages within the Proposal Form is solely for the purpose of determining the low bidder and establishing the Agency's maximum daily liability as a result of compensable delays to Contractor, if any, and Agency has no obligation to pay any daily Contractor delay damages except as provided for in these Contract Documents for compensable delays. In the event that Agency becomes liable to Contractor for compensable delays, Agency agrees to pay Contractor the daily Contractor Delay Damages as set forth in the Proposal Form or Contractor's actual daily delay damages, whichever is less, for each day of compensable delay as provided for by these Contract Documents. 6-7 TIME OF COMPLETION
6-7.1 General. The CONTRACTOR shall complete the Work within the time set forth in the Contract.

6-7.3 Contract Time Accounting. The Engineer will make a daily determination of each working day to be charged against the Contract time. These determinations will be discussed and the CONTRACTOR will be furnished a periodic statement showing allowable number of working days of Contract time, as adjusted, at the beginning of the reporting period. The statement will also indicate the number of working days charged during the reporting period and the number of working days of Contract time remaining. If the CONTRACTOR does not agree with the statement, it shall file a written protest within 15 days after receipt, setting forth the facts of the protest. Otherwise, the statement will be deemed to have been accepted.
6-8 COMPLETION, ACCEPTANCE, AND WARRANTY. The Work will be inspected by the Engineer for acceptance upon receipt of the CONTRACTOR’s written assertion that the Work has been completed.
If, in the Engineer’s judgment, the Work has been completed and is ready for acceptance, it will so certify to the Town Council, which may accept the completed Work. The Engineer will, in its certification to the Town Council, give the date when the Work was completed. This will be the date when the CONTRACTOR is relieved from responsibility to protect the Work.
All work shall be warranted by the CONTRACTOR against defective workmanship and materials for a period of 1 year from the date a Notice of Completion is filed. The CONTRACTOR shall replace or repair any such defective work in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer, after notice to do so from the Engineer, and within the time specified in the notice.

In accordance with Government Code 53069.85, and all other applicable law, the CONTRACTOR agrees to forfeit and pay the AGENCY the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every day of unauthorized delay beyond the completion date, which shall be deducted from any monies due the CONTRACTOR. This payment shall be considered liquidated damages. CONTRACTOR agrees that such liquidated damages are reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of execution of the contract, that such liquidated damages are to compensate AGENCY for losses that are difficult to measure and that such damages are not a penalty.
Failure of the CONTRACTOR to perform any covenant or condition contained in the Contract Documents within the time period specified shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the AGENCY to terminate the Contract unless the CONTRACTOR applies for, and receives, an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5-5.
Failure of the AGENCY to insist upon the performance of any covenant or conditions within the time period specified in the Contract Documents shall not constitute a waiver of the CONTRACTOR’s duty to complete performance within the designated periods unless the AGENCY has executed a waiver in writing.
The AGENCY’s agreement to waive a specific time provision or to extend the time for performance shall not constitute a waiver of any other time provision contained in the Contract Documents.
Failure of the CONTRACTOR to complete performance promptly within the additional time authorized in a waiver or extension of time agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the AGENCY to terminate this agreement.
The CONTRACTOR shall not be deemed in breach of this Contract and no forfeiture due to delay shall be made because of any delays in the completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the CONTRACTOR provided the CONTRACTOR requests an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5-5. Unforeseeable causes of delay beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR shall include acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of the government, acts of the AGENCY, or acts of another CONTRACTOR in the performance of a contract with the AGENCY, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and weather, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes, or delays caused by failure of the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of existing utility facilities. Delays caused by actions or neglect of CONTRACTOR or their agents, servants, employees, officers, subcontractors, directors, or of any party contracting to perform part of all of the Work or to supply any equipment or materials shall not be excusable delays. Excusable delays (those beyond the CONTRACTOR’s control) shall not entitle the CONTRACTOR to any additional compensation. The sole recourse of the CONTRACTOR shall be to seek an extension of time.
6-10 USE OF IMPROVEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION. The AGENCY reserves the right to take over and utilize all or part of any completed facility or appurtenance. The CONTRACTOR will be notified in writing in advance of such action. Such action by the AGENCY will relieve the CONTRACTOR of responsibility for injury or damage to said completed portions of the improvement resulting from use by MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
public traffic or from the action of the elements or from any other cause, except CONTRACTOR operations or negligence. The CONTRACTOR will not be required to reclean such portions of the improvement before field acceptance, except for cleanup made necessary by its operations. Nothing in this section shall be construed as relieving the CONTRACTOR from full responsibility for correcting defective work or materials.
In the event the AGENCY exercises its right to place into service and utilize all or part of any completed facility or appurtenance, the AGENCY will assume the responsibility and liability for injury to persons or property resulting from the utilization of the facility or appurtenance so placed into service, except for any such injury to persons or property caused by any willful or negligent act or omission by the CONTRACTOR, Subcontractor, their officers, employees, or agents. 6-11 GUARANTEE. The CONTRACTOR shall warrant and guarantee the entire Work and all parts thereof, including that performed and constructed by subcontractors, and others employed directly or indirectly on the Work, against faulty or defective materials, equipment or workmanship for the maximum period provided by law. In addition thereto, for a period of one (1) year commencing on the date of filing of the Notice of Completion, the CONTRACTOR shall, upon the receipt of notice in writing from the AGENCY, promptly make all repairs arising out of defective materials, workmanship or equipment and bear the cost thereof. The AGENCY is hereby authorized to make such repairs and the CONTRACTOR and Surety shall bear the cost thereof if, ten (10) days after the giving of such notice to the CONTRACTOR, the CONTRACTOR has failed to make or undertake with due diligence the repairs; provided, however, that, in the case of an emergency where, in the opinion of the AGENCY, delay could cause serious loss or damage, repairs may be made without notice being sent to the CONTRACTOR or Surety, and all expense in connection therewith shall be charged to the CONTRACTOR and Surety.
For the purpose of this article “Acceptance of the Work” shall mean the acceptance of the Work by the AGENCY in accordance with Subsection 6-8 but not for the purpose of extinguishing any covenant or agreement or agreement on the part of the CONTRACTOR to be performed or fulfilled under this Contract, which has not in fact been performed or fulfilled at the time of such acceptance all of such covenants and agreements, shall continue to be binding on the CONTRACTOR until they have been fulfilled.
The effective date of Acceptance of the Work and commencement of the Guarantee shall be the date of acceptance of the Notice of Completion by the Town Council. 6-12 DISPUTES AND CLAIMS
6-12.1 General.
A Claim is any request by Contractor to adjust, alter, modify, or otherwise change the Contract price or the Contract time, or both. A Claim must be stated with specificity, including identification of the event or occurrence giving rise to the Claim, the date of the event, and the asserted effect on the Contract price and the Contract time, if any. The Claim shall include adequate supporting data. Adequate supporting data for a Claim for an adjustment of the Contract time shall include scheduling data demonstrating the impact of the event on the controlling operation and completion of the Project.
Adequate supporting data for a Claim for an adjustment in the Contract price shall include a detailed cost breakdown of items included within the Claim and documentation supporting each item of cost.

Nothing in this subsection shall be considered as relieving the CONTRACTOR from their duty to file the notice required under Subsection 6-13 or other duties required by the Contract Documents. 6-12.2 Records Supporting Claims
MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
The Contractor and all subcontractors shall keep full and complete records of the costs and additional time incurred for any work for which a claim for additional compensation is made. The Engineer or any designated claim investigator or auditor shall have access to those records and any other records as may be required by the Engineer to determine the facts or contentions involved in the claims. Contractor agrees that failure to permit access to those records waives Contractor’s claims.
The Town, or its authorized representatives, shall have access, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, to Contractor and subcontractors’ books, documents and accounting records, including but not limited to, bid worksheets, bids, subcontractor bids and proposals, estimates, cost accounting data, accounting records, payroll records, time sheets, canceled checks, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, project correspondence including but not limited to all correspondence between Contractor and its sureties and subcontractors/vendors, project files, scheduling information, and other records of the Contractor and all subcontractors directly or indirectly pertinent to the work, original as well as change and claimed extra work, to verify and evaluate the accuracy of cost and pricing data submitted with any change order, prospective or completed, or any claim for which additional compensation has been requested or claim has been tendered. Such access shall include the right to examine and audit such records, and make excerpts, transcriptions, and photocopies at Town’s cost.
The parties agree that in the event Contractor or any subcontractor fails to comply with this section, it would be difficult for the Town to determine its actual damages; therefore, Contractor agrees to pay Town, as liquidated damages, the sum of Two hundred Dollars ($200.00), which Contractor agrees is reasonable under the circumstances, for each and every calendar day which Contractor or a subcontractor fails or refuses to provide the Town, access to the materials specified in this section.
The Contractor and all subcontractors shall maintain records in such a manner as to provide a clear distinction between the direct costs of extra work paid and the costs of other operations.
From the above records, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer completed daily extra work reports, either on forms furnished by the Town or on computerized facsimiles of the Town’s forms acceptable to the Engineer, for each day's extra work to be paid for on a force account basis. The daily extra work reports shall itemize the materials used, and shall state the direct cost of labor and the charges for equipment rental, whether furnished by the Contractor, subcontractor or other forces, except for charges described in Section 9-1.03B, "Work Performed by Special Forces or Other Special Services." The daily extra work reports shall provide names or identifications and classifications of workers, the hourly rate of pay and hours worked, and also the size, type and identification number of equipment, and hours operated.
Material charges shall be substantiated by valid copies of vendor's invoices. The invoices shall be submitted with the daily extra work reports, or if not available, the invoices shall be submitted within 30 days after the date of delivery of the material or within 15 days after the acceptance of the Contract, whichever occurs first. Contractor waives payment for material charges not substantiated by valid copies of vendor’s invoices submitted within the times provided.
Daily extra work reports shall be signed by the Contractor or the Contractor's authorized representative.
The Engineer will compare the Engineer's records with the completed daily extra work reports furnished by the Contractor and make any necessary adjustments. When these daily extra work reports are agreed upon and signed by both parties, the reports shall become the basis of payment for the work performed, but shall not preclude subsequent adjustment based on a later audit by the Town.
The Contractor's and all subcontractor’s records pertaining to the Project shall be open to inspection or audit by representatives of the Town, during the life of the Contract and for a period of not less than 3 years after the date of acceptance thereof, and the Contractor and all subcontractors shall retain those records for that period. Where payment for materials or labor is based on the cost thereof to forces other than the Contractor, the Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that the cost records of MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA

Transitions and Hot Mix Asphalt Fills
The Contractor shall construct temporary pavement transitions at all paving conforms, planned edges, corss gutters, and commercial and residential driveways with drop offs greater than 1-3/4 inche, prior to allowing traffic onto the paved and cold planed surfaces. Temporary pavement transitions shall have a maximum MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
slope of 20:1 or as approved by the engineer and be constructed on Kraft paper or other suitable bond breaker such that upon removal of the temporary pavement transition, a clean notch remains. The temporary transitions may be constructed of either cold mix or hot mix.
The Contractor shall continuously maintain the temporary pavement until final paving. Each temporary transition shall be inspected by the Contractor and repaired as necessary to comply with these provisions at the end of each day including weekends and holidays.
Failure to comply with these provisions will result in a liquidated damage of $250 per day per transition and/or the cost of Town crews making the repairs if necessary, to correct for public safety.
Layout
The Contractor shall layout and mark the location of the edges of the paving passes of the surface course to match the new layout of the lane lines. The layout shall be made at least 24 hours prior to paving. The layout shall be approved by the Engineer prior to paving.
If the striping is to remain unchanged, the edges of the paving passes shall conform to existing lane edges.
In all cases where practical, each lane shall be paved in a single pass. In tapered transition areas, the shoulder areas shall be paved first, then the through lane shall be paved immediately after the shoulder paving.
For paving which incorporates new quarterpoints or grade breaks due to keycuts or other conditions, the Contractor shall provide equipment capable of adjusting to the new surface profile at the appropriate locations. The profile adjustments shall be within twelve inches of the actual gradebreak or quarterpoint.
The Contractor shall take sufficient measurements during laydown to ensure that the full design hot mix asphalt layer depth is provided at each quarterpoint, gradebreak, or transition. Failure to provide the design depth at these areas will result in rejection of the work. Correction of this rejected work will include milling out the new hot mix asphalt from the road edge to the centerline or nearest inside lane line and repaving.
The minimum length of the milled and corrected area shall be fifty (50) feet.
Tolerances
The finished hot mix asphalt surface shall be flush with or no greater than 1/4 inch (0.02 feet or 6 mm) above, the gutter lips. The finished pavement surface shall not be lower than the gutter lips.

For total pavement thicknesses of less than four (4) inches, the minimum allowable thickness will be 1/4 inch less than that specified.
For total pavement thicknesses of four (4) inches or more, the minimum allowable thickness will be 1/2 inch less than that specified.
Automatic Screed Controls
For all main line street or roadway paving with single lane length exceeding 300 feet, automatic screed controls shall be required. Automatic screed controls shall not be required for the paving of parking lots, intersections, cul-de-sacs, alleyways or other irregular areas.
In addition to the requirements in Section 39-1.10 and 39-1.11 of the Standard Specifications, hot mix asphalt shall be placed with spreading equipment equipped with fully automatic screed and grade sensing MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
controls which shall control the longitudinal grade of the screed. Automatic controls shall conform to and be operated in accordance with the provisions herein.
Unless approved otherwise, ski-type devices with a minimum length of 30 feet shall be used to provide a reference for the grade sensor. Skis shall be constructed and installed in such a manner that a reference to the average elevation of the existing pavement, along the length of the ski, is maintained at the sensor point.
When placing surfacing adjacent to surfacing previously placed in conformance with these provisions, a joint matching shoe of adequate size and type to properly sense the grade of the previously placed mat may be used in lieu of the 30-foot ski.
The ski shall be mounted at a location which will provide an accurate reference for the surfacing being placed. This may require the ski to be mounted ahead of and inside the outer limits of the screed. Automatic cross slope control may be accomplished by use of a ski and grade sensor on each side of the paving machine.
Automatic screed controls shall be installed in such a manner that the occasional manual adjustments necessary to maintain the altitude of the screed parallel to the underlying pavement are readily accomplished. Automatic screed controls shall be installed so that with little or no delay, use of the automatic controls can be discontinued and the screed controlled by manual methods.
If it is determined by the Engineer that the existing grade and cross slope are too irregular for the automatic controls to provide the quality of work required, the use of the automatic controls shall be discontinued and the spreading equipment adjusted by manual methods. Use of automatic controls shall resume when the Engineer has determined that it is again practical and so orders.
Compacting
Rolling shall be performed as indicated in the referenced Caltrans specifications. The roller water shall contain a soap type compound to prevent sticking of the HMA material to the rollers. The soap type compound shall not damage the HMA or impede the bonding of layers.
The number of rollers required for each paving operation shall be such that all rolling for density can be completed before the temperature of the hot mix asphalt mixture drops below 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
Breakdown rolling shall commence when the hot mix asphalt is placed. Rolling shall be accomplished with the drive wheel forward and with the advance and return passes in the same line.
The Contractor shall have hand-compaction equipment immediately available for compacting all areas inaccessible to rollers. Hand-compaction shall be performed concurrently with breakdown rolling. If for any reason hand-compaction falls behind breakdown rolling, further placement of hot mix asphalt shall be suspended until hand-compaction is caught up. Hand-compaction includes vibraplates and hand tampers.
Hand torches shall be available for rework of areas which have cooled.
After compaction, the surface texture of all hand work areas shall match the surface texture of the machine placed mat. Any coarse or segregated areas shall be corrected immediately upon discovery. Failure to immediately address these areas shall cause suspension of hot mix asphalt placement until the areas are satisfactorily addressed, unless otherwise allowed by the Engineer.
Contractor Quality Control
The HMA shall be verified by the engineer prior to placement on the jobsite. If agreed to by the Contractor and the Engineer, the production start-up may be used for verification. If the production start-up is used for MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
verification, the Engineer may require removal and replacement of the HMA, at their discretion, in the event of verification failure.
Contractor quality control testing is optional. However, if the contractor fails to submit quality control results to the engineer within 72 hours of HMA placement, the contractor waives all rights to dispute the Engineer’s results. In the event of asphalt binder or Hamburg wheel track testing by the Engineer, the contractor has 5 days to submit their test results from the time the Engineer informs the contractor that he is performing testing or the contractor waves the right to dispute the Engineer’s results.
The Engineer shall test for conformance with aggregate quality characteristics at the beginning of the project.
The Engineer shall test air void content, Hveem stability, and voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) a minimum of once per day.
The Engineer may sample the hot mix asphalt from truck beds at the plant, from the hopper of the paving machine, or from the mat behind the paver at the discretion of the Engineer. The Contractor shall facilitate the sampling process.
Engineer’s Acceptance
The Town shall be notified 48-hours prior to scheduling pavement placement so that Quality Assurance personnel can be scheduled.
Materials Acceptance
The Engineer may withhold acceptance in the event of any failing test result until the Contractor has addressed the failing material to the Engineer’s satisfaction.
Compaction Acceptance
Sublots to determine compaction testing shall be based on the following:
• Each 750 tons, or part thereof, placed on an individual street in a paving day. If over 750 tons are placed in a single paving day on an individual street, up to 150 tons over 750 tons can be moved in to the previous 750 ton sublot.
• If multiple streets are paved in a day, each street will be considered its own sublot with multiple sublots on streets where greater than 750 tons are placed.
The in-place density shall be between 92.0 percent and 97.0 percent of maximum theoretical unit weight using a nuclear gauge. Gauge compaction testing shall be performed in accordance with CTM 375. Final compaction is based on the average nuclear gauge results for the sublot. The nuclear gauge will be core correlated the first day of paving.
If nuclear gauge compaction testing results are failing, the contractor can request coring to verify the results.
Three cores will be sampled for each sublot and the average of the three cores for each sublot will determine the in-place density. The core locations will be determined using random sampling charts in CTM 375.
The engineer will mark the core locations.
Cores may be taken up to 5 calendar days after placement and may be 4 or 6 inches in diameter. The engineer will provide results within 3 working days of receiving the cores.
MT-3023; MEASURE T STREET REHABILITATION AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA
Passing cores shall be paid for by the owner. Failing cores will be paid for by the contractor. If the core testing produces both passing and failing cores, the cost will be prorated between the contractor and the owner.
Contractor shall core the full depth of the new overlay and existing asphalt layers and backfill the cores holes with rapid set concrete. The cores shall be sawcut at the new overlay line prior to testing. Failure to backfill the core holes on the same day as the coring is performed will subject the Contractor to liquidated damages in the amount of $250 per day per location.
For the percent of maximum theoretical density, the following table shall apply to deductions for average compaction of a sublot:

DATE: May 17, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: John Ferons, Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: Rosalba Ramirez, Deputy Public Works Director SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution Number 22-4122 Approving Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Project List for SB1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1. SB1 increases per gallon fuel excise taxes; increases diesel fuel sales taxes, increases vehicle registration fees, and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. Beginning November 2, 2017, the State Controller will deposit various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). The RMRA program was created to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and the local street and road system.
A percentage of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local street and roads system.
The Town’s RMRA Revenue for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 SB1 program is estimated to be $66,000. As such, Town staff has proposed a budget of 66,000 for the upcoming FY 2022/23 budget in capital improvement project SB6023. Funds made available by the program are required to be used for projects that include but are not limited to the following: road maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, railroad grade separations, complete street components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, drainage, and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project or traffic control devices.
Each year, staff is required to submit a project list and Resolution for the upcoming fiscal year for Town Council approval as required by the SB1 program. The Town intends to use SB1 funds to support the Town’s paving program by allocating these funds to the Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk and Street Replacement Program (SB-6023).
The concrete work can then be accomplished in advance of the Annual Streets Maintenance and Paving Program (MT-3023). The reasoning behind completing concrete work in advance of the street project is that traditionally, the paving and concrete work were combined in the same contract. However, staff has determined this can cause delays to the Measure T paving projects due to the concrete subcontractor not meeting the general contractor’s paving schedule. In addition, it is more cost-effective as the paving contractor adds overhead and fees to manage the subcontractor, which increases costs to each project.
Staff recommends approving the attached Fiscal Year 2022-2023 project list for SB1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act.

Recitals
A. At the Town Council meeting held June 4, 2019, the Council established a uniform policy regarding (1) the display of the United States Flag, the California State Flag, the POW-MIA Flag, and any current or future Town of Yountville flag on Town-owned property; (2) the display of nongovernmental ceremonial flags (“Ceremonial Flags”) on Town-owned property; and (3) the flying of the National, State and Town flags at half-staff on Town-owned property.
B. In adopting this policy, the Town Council declares that the Town’s flagpoles are not intended to serve as a forum for free expression of the public, but rather for the display of Federal, State, and Town (if any) Flags, the POW-MIA Flag, and any Ceremonial Flag as may be authorized by written resolution of the Town Council as an expression of the Town’s official sentiments.
C. The Ceremonial Flagpole is located at Town Hall to the left of the front entrance and is separate from the flagpole on which the National and State flag is flown.

Agenda Item #: 10A
Yountville Town Council Staff Report
DATE: May 17, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: John Ferons, Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: John Ferons, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 22-4124 Approving a Joint Powers Agreement between Napa Sanitation District and Town of Yountville for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operation Contract Services
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
The Town owns and operates the wastewater treatment plant under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit CA003812 issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No, R2-2020-0026. This permit order regulates the treatment process and allows the Town to treat the effluent such that it can be redistributed as recycled water. The level of treatment in place at the plant to meet recycled water quality requires that the Town have an operator with a Grade III Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator’s certificate (or higher certification) be designated as the Town’s “Chief Plant Operator.” Due to staffing changes and resignations in 2021, the Town has been unable to hire an individual with that level of certification. The plant is currently operated by two Town Staff with Grade II Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator’s certificates on a daily basis which is allowed per regulations on a day-to-day basis. However, the Regional Board requires that we have a Grade III Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator’s certificate (or higher certification) be designated as the Chief Plant Operator (CPO) to oversee day-to-day operations and is aware the Town is seeking to acquire the same.
In order to address this issue in the near term, the Public Works Director reached out to colleagues at Napa Sanitation District (NapaSan) to inquire about their ability and interest in providing an operator with sufficient certificate to fill the role of Chief Plant Operator via contract or agreement, until such time internal staff acquires the necessary certification, or a recruitment is successful.
NapaSan responded with a willingness to provide help and given NapaSan’s level of services and expertise, it is entirely feasible for them to make technical support services available by contract to interested agencies. At present NapaSan employs nine treatment plant operators with a Grade III certificate or higher. As such the Town and NapaSan crafted a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to provide the necessary staffing/services to meet the Town’s current needs. While new for the wastewater enterprise, this type of agreement is comparable to the agreement in place with the Town and the City of Napa Housing Authority for the Town’s affordable housing management needs. The JPA has been reviewed by both the Town and NapaSan’s administrative, engineering, and legal staff and also approved by the NapaSan Board at their May 4th regular meeting.
The scope of work provided for in the JPA is as follows:
Provide ministerial and non-discretionary services as Chief Plant Operator (CPO) as a Grade III Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator (or higher certification) for the Town of Yountville. The CPO is responsible for the overall operation of the wastewater treatment plant including compliance with effluent limitations established in Yountville’s NPDES Permit CA0038121 Order R202020-0026 regardless of the organizational hierarchy and ensuring operators-in training (OITs) are supervised directly in accordance with the WWTP Operator Certification Regulations. These duties shall include supervision of the proper operation and maintenance of facilities and of treatment and control at the WWTP, conducting inspections and documenting conditions where there may be potential violations of the NPDES permit, advising Town of Yountville of these conditions and recommended actions, reviewing the regulatory reports prior to submittal. Work hours are estimated to be 15 hours per week by a Grade III Treatment Plant Operator. This agreement is specific to Yountville wastewater treatment plant operation and shall not include NapaSan providing any scope of services for Yountville’s sanitary sewer collection system, recycled water distribution, regulatory reporting, lab testing, engineering and/or facilities maintenance. NapaSan CPO will not serve as Yountville’s on-call (off hours) operator. Additional work, not included in the scope of this agreement may be mutually agreed upon and authorized as needed.
The estimated effort to act as Yountville’s CPO of approximately 15 hours per week will be compensated at NapaSan’s Grade III Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator rate of $88.59 hourly for regular hours and if needed any hours worked outside of shift will be at the overtime rate of $115.30. To perform the work, the Town will provide NapaSan’s designated employee full access to Yountville’s wastewater treatment plant facility, including keys and security codes needed to access the facility 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Access shall also include Yountville’s supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.
The cost associated with this agreement is estimated to be $71,000 if the 1-year term of the agreement is fulfilled.
This is accounted for in the “Other Agencies” category of the upcoming budget. The upcoming budget also includes in the salary and benefits categories the necessary funds to fill the position if future recruitment becomes successful.
Staff believes this JPA opportunity is a good example of shared resources by partnering with other agencies in the Napa Valley and may create future opportunities for similar shared resources, specifically utilizing NapaSan’s certified lab to supplement or replace current private lab contract services. Staff is respectfully requesting Adoption of Resolution No. 22-4124 Approving a Joint Powers Agreement between Napa Sanitation District and Town of Yountville for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operation Contract Services.
