I, as Informal Bidder, declare that I have satisfied myself as to the actual conditions and requirements of the work by careful examination of the location of the proposed work, by examination of the plans and specifications including the Notice to Informal Bidders, and by other measures, and that after submission of the Informal Bid, I will not dispute, complain or assert that there was any misunderstanding in regards to the nature or amount of work to be done. I hereby certify that only those parties interested in this proposal as principals are named in this proposal and that this Informal Bid is genuine, and not sham, collusion, or made in the interest or in behalf of any person not named. I have not directly or indirectly induced or solicited any other Informal Bidder, person, firm or corporation to put in a sham Informal Bid, or refrain from Informal Bidding, and have not in any manner sought by collusion to secure for myself an advantage over any other Informal Bidder. I agree that if this proposal is accepted, I will contract with the City of Tracy in the form of agreement proposed, will provide all bonds and insurance certificates as required by the agreement and will furnish all equipment and materials and perform all the labor required to complete the work in accordance with the plans, specifications and other contract documents, for the unit or lump sum prices set forth in the Informal Bid Schedule.


I have carefully checked all of the figures in the Informal Bid Schedule and understand that the City shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions on my part in making up this Informal Bid. I agree that this Informal Bid may not be withdrawn for a period of 90 calendar days from the date of the Informal Bid opening and that the City reserves the right to reject any or all Informal Bids.

INFORMAL BIDDING REQUIREMENTS

For each of the various contract items of work designated on the Informal Bid Schedule, the Informal Bidder shall set forth a unit or lump sum price which the Informal Bidder shall then use to calculate and designate a total cost for each item of work based upon the designated estimate of the quantities of work to be done, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces of the Informal Bid Schedule provided for this purpose. The Informal Bidder shall include in the unit or lump sum prices paid for the various contract items of work full compensation for conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents and for completing all of the work required. No additional compensation shall be granted for any additional items unless categorized and approved as extra work under the terms of the agreement. The estimate of construction quantities set forth in the Informal Bid Schedule is approximate only, being given only as a basis for the comparison of Informal Bids, and the City does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work will correspond with those estimated quantities. The City reserves the right to increase the amount of any class or portion of the work or to omit portions of the work as may be deemed necessary or expedient by the Engineer. If the City accepts this proposal and the Informal Bidder fails to enter into the contract and/or fails to furnish bonds as required by the specifications with sureties satisfactory to the City within ten (10) calendar days after the Informal Bidder has received notice from the City that the contract has been awarded, the City may, at its option, determine that the Informal Bidder has breached and abandoned the contract, and thereupon, the Informal Bid security accompanying this proposal shall be forfeited and become the property of the City. The Notice to Proceed will not be issued until after the contract has been fully executed. The contractor shall commence the work under the contract within fifteen (15) days following the date of the Notice to Proceed, or as otherwise specified in the project specifications, and shall diligently prosecute the project to completion within the time specified. The contract completion period is inclusive of the time needed for material delivery.


Informal Bidder shall comply with the requirements of the California Labor Code, including sections 1770 et seq., and pay not less than the prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. Copies of such prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file at the office of the city, which copies shall be made available to any interested party upon request. The Contractor shall post a copy of such determination at the job site. As required by Section 6705 of the California Labor Code and in addition thereto, for any excavation of any trench or trenches five feet (5’) or more in depth, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for acceptance, 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. Structural calculations prepared, stamped and signed by a Registered Engineer licensed to practice in the State of California shall accompany the plan to verify the structural safety and adequacy of the sheeting, shoring and bracing to be used on the project. No such plan shall allow any shoring, sloping or a protection system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders of the State Division of Occupational Safety and Health. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1860 of the Labor Code, prior to performing work on the Contract, each Contractor to whom a public works contract is awarded shall sign and file with the City the Worker’s Compensation Certification included in the “Agreement and Agreement Forms” section of these specifications.

Bidders shall use complete sets of Contract Documents in preparing bids. The City makes copies of the Contract Documents available, on the above terms, for the sole purpose of obtaining Bids for the work and does not confer a license or grant permission for any other use of the Contract Documents.

2.02 Proposal Forms – The portion of the Contract Documents entitled “Bid Proposal” focuses the Bidders attention on the requirements for submitting a bid, including the Notice to Bidders, and the Bid Forms.

Bids are required for the entire work described herein, and shall be submitted on the Bid Forms

included within the Bid Proposal documents consisting of the completed Bid Schedule, Designation of Subcontractors, Bidders Statement of Responsibility, Bidder’s Non-Collusion Affidavit, Bidder’s Qualifications, Bidders References, Signature of Bidder, Bid Guarantee, and all other information requested by the Bid Proposal documents.

All blanks on the Bid Forms shall be filled in by typewriter or printed legibly in ink. Corrections

must all be individually initialed by the Bidder. Bidder shall not modify or qualify the Bid Forms in any manner.

Before submitting bids, Contractors shall be licensed as specified in the Notice to Bidders and in

accordance with the provisions of Chapter 9 of Division III of the Business and Professions Code. The Bid Forms shall be signed by a person or persons legally authorized to bind the Bidder to the Contract.

with the Bid, shall be enclosed in a sealed opaque envelope. The envelope shall be clearly marked on its face with the Bidder’s name and address, and the notation “SEALED BID ENCLOSED, CITY OF TRACY”, with an identification of the project name and number as identified in the Notice to Bidders. If the Bid is sent by mail, the sealed envelope shall be enclosed in a separate mailing envelope. Oral, telephonic, facsimile, telegraphic, or electronically transmitted Bids are invalid and will not be accepted.

Bids may be mailed or delivered by messenger. It is the Bidder’s responsibility alone to ensure that the Bid is received prior to the bid deadline at the place specified in the Notice to Bidders. Whether or not bids are opened exactly at the time fixed in the public notice inviting bids, any bid received after that time shall be returned unopened.

2.05 Approximate Estimate - The quantities listed in the bid schedule are approximate only, supplied as a general indication of the scope of work and to be used as a basis for comparing bids. The City does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work will correspond therewith, and reserves the right to increase or decrease the amount of any class or portion of the work, or to delete any portions of the work in their entirety, from the quantities listed on the bid schedule, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Engineer.


2.06 Bid Prices to Cover Entire Work - The quantities listed in the Bid Schedule do not govern final payment, as payments to the Contractor will only be made for the actual quantities constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications as measured by the appropriate unit of measurement indicated in the Bid Schedule, complete in place to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Such payment shall constitute the full compensation for furnishing all materials, labor, tools and equipment for performing the work, and for all other incidentals necessary to complete the work as shown on the plans and described in these specifications.

No separate payment will be made for incidentals or any items delineated on the plans or called for in the specifications to be supplied or installed which are not specifically listed as bid items but are required to complete the project. Full compensation for such items shall be considered as included in the prices paid for the various contract items of work involved and no additional compensation will be allowed. 2.07 Examination of Plans, Specifications and Work Site - The bidder shall examine carefully the site of the work contemplated, the plans and specifications, and the proposal and contract forms therefor.

It is mutually agreed that submission of a proposal shall be considered prima facie evidence that the bidder has made such examination.

2.08 Requests for Clarification - In the event the Bidder has any question as to the meaning of any part of the Contract Documents, or if the Bidder finds any error, inconsistency or ambiguity in the Contract Documents, the Bidder shall make a written request for clarification prior to submitting its Bid. Requests for clarification or interpretation of the Contract Documents shall be addressed only to the Engineer designated in the Notice to Bidders. It shall be the Bidder’s responsibility to ensure that any such request be submitted to the City at least five (5) working days prior to the bid opening, in order to allow time for the City to consider a response.

If necessary, the City shall make clarifications, interpretations, corrections, and changes to the Contract Documents by Addenda, issued as provided in the Notice to Bidders. Purported clarifications, interpretations, corrections, and changes to the Contract Documents made in any other manner shall not be binding on the City, and Bidders shall not rely upon them.

2.09 Addenda – If issued, addenda will be in writing, by fax, e-mail or overnight mail. The

City will make reasonable efforts to deliver Addenda to all Bidders who are known by the City to have received a complete set of Contract Documents and who have provided a street address for receipt of Addenda. The City makes no guarantee that all Bidders will receive all the Addenda. Each Bidder shall be responsible for ascertaining, prior to submitting its Bid, that it has received all issued Addenda. Each Bidder shall acknowledge receipt of all Addenda on the Bid Form. Failure to acknowledge receipt of Addenda may render the bid non-responsive. Copies of Addenda will be made available for inspection at the office where Contract Documents are on file for inspection, as indicated on the Notice to Bidders.

Addenda withdrawing the Notice to Bidders or postponing the bid deadline may be issued

anytime prior to the bid deadline. If any Addenda results in a material change to the Contract Documents, and there is less than 72 hours before the bid deadline, pursuant to Public Contract Code, Section 4104.5, the bid deadline will be extended.

2.10 Subcontractors - The Bidder shall comply with the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair

Practices Act as set forth in Public Contract Code, Section 4100 et seq. (hereinafter referred to as the


“Subcontracting Act”). The following excerpts of some of the requirements of the Subcontracting Act are included below for reference.

The Bidder shall set forth in the bid:

(a) The name and location of the place of business of each Subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render service to the Bidder in or about the construction of the work for this project, or a Subcontractor licensed by the State of California who, under subcontract to the Bidder, specially fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvements according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications, in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder’s bid amount.

(b) The portion of the work which will be done by each Subcontractor under the

Subcontracting Act. The Bidder shall list only one Subcontractor for each portion of the work as defined by the Bidder in the Bid. The Bidder shall not list any Subcontractor who is ineligible pursuant to Labor Code, Sections

1777.1 and 1777.2, and Public Contract Code, Section 6109. If, after the execution of the Agreement, the successful Bidder subcontracts except as provided for

in the Subcontracting Act, or if the Bidder lists in his bid another Contractor who will in turn sublet portions constituting the majority of work covered by the prime contract, the Contractor shall be subject to the penalties set forth in the Subcontracting Act. If the Contractor violates any provisions of the Subcontracting Act, the Contractor violates the Agreement and the City may either terminate the Agreement or assess a penalty to the Contractor in accordance with the terms of the Subcontracting Act.

If the Bidder fails to specify a Subcontractor, or if the Bidder specifies more than one

Subcontractor for the same portion of the work in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder’s total Bid Amount, the Bidder agrees that it is fully qualified to perform that portion itself, and that the Bidder shall perform that portion itself.

2.11 Proposal Guarantee - In accordance with the Public Contract Code, Section 20170, each

Bid shall be accompanied by a Bid Security, in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the Bid Amount, as a guarantee for the Bidder’s obligation to enter into an Agreement with the City on the terms stated in the Contract Documents and no bid shall be considered unless such Bid Security is enclosed therewith. Bid Security shall be in the form of cash, cashier’s check, certified check or a Bid Bond made payable to the City of Tracy.

If a Bid Bond is submitted, the surety issuing the Bid Bond shall meet the requirements set by

California law and be authorized to issue surety bonds in the State of California. The Bid Bond shall conform or be executed upon the bond form included in the Bidding Documents. If an attorney-in-fact executes the Bid Bond on behalf of the surety, a notarized and current copy of the power of attorney shall be affixed to the Bid Bond.

The City reserves the right to retain the Bid Security of all bidders until ten (10) working days

following the execution of the Agreement by the successful Bidder, until the time period for the City’s review of Bids as specified in the Instruction to Bidders has expired, or until the Bids have been rejected by the City.

2.12 Withdrawal of Bids – The City’s policy pertaining to the withdrawal of bids is such that

after a bid has been received by the City, no request for withdrawal or modification to a bid will be


considered until at least ninety (90) calendar days following the bid opening unless the Bidder establishes, after the opening of bids, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, all of the elements identified in California Public Contract Code, Section 5103, including the following:

(a) A clerical error was made by the Bidder in filling out the Bid; and the error was not

due to error in judgment or to carelessness in inspecting the site of the work, or in reading the plans or specifications.

(b) The clerical error caused the Bid to be materially different than the Bidder intended

the Bid to be. (c) The Bidder gave the City written notice within five (5) working days after the

opening of the Bids of the mistake, specifying in detail the nature of the mistake and how the mistake occurred.

2.13 Disqualification of Bidders – More than one proposal from an individual, firm,

partnership, corporation, or combination thereof under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any individual, firm, partnership, corporation or combination thereof is interested in more than one proposal for the work contemplated may cause the rejection of all proposals in which that individual, firm, partnership, corporation or combination thereof is interested. If there is reason for believing that collusion exists among the bidders, any or all proposals may be rejected. Proposals in which the prices are obviously materially or mathematically unbalanced may be rejected.

2.14 Bid Protest Procedure – Any protest of the proposed contract award shall be submitted in writing to the City Clerk no later than 5:00 p.m. on the fifth business day following the date of the bid opening. The protest must include the name, address, and telephone number of the person representing the protesting party. In addition,

(a) The party filing the protest must have submitted a bid for the Project. A

Subcontractor of a party filing a bid for the project may not submit a bid protest. (b) The protest must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest, and refer

to the specific portion of the Contract Documents or the specific statute that forms the basis for the protest.

(c) The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the protest to the

proposed awardee.

Any bidder’s failure to fully comply with these procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue a bid protest, including filing of a challenge of the award pursuant to the California Public Contract Code, filing of a claim pursuant to the California Government Code, or filing of any other legal proceedings.

The City shall review all timely protests prior to the award of contract. The City shall not be

required to hold an administrative hearing to consider any protests, but may do so at its option. At the time of the City Council’s consideration of the project award, the City Council shall also consider the merits of any timely protests. The City Council may either reject the protest and award the project to the lowest responsible bidder or accept the protest and award the project to the next lowest responsible bidder. Nothing in this section shall be construed as a waiver of the City Council’s right to reject all bids.


SECTION 3 – AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT 3.01 Opening and Initial Review of Bids - Bids which have been submitted in accordance with

the requirements of the Bidding Documents, and which are received on or before the bid deadline will be opened publicly, and the dollar amounts of each bid shall be read aloud.

The City shall have the right to reject all bids. The City shall have the right to reject any bid not

accompanied by the required bid security or any other item required by the Bidding Documents, or a bid which is in any other way incomplete or irregular. The City shall have the right to waive irregularities in a bid, and to award the Contract to the Lowest Responsible Bidder (as determined by the City), only if the irregularities are non-material and inconsequential.

3.02 Determination of Lowest Responsible Bidder - City shall determine the “Lowest Monetary Bidder” on the basis of the Engineer’s approximate estimate of the quantities of work to be done as set forth in the Bid Schedule, in accordance with the calculation criteria set forth on the bid.

After the Lowest Monetary Bidder has been determined, the Engineer shall review that Bidder’s bid in order to determine whether or not that Bidder is the “Lowest Responsible Bidder.” The term Lowest Responsible Bidder shall mean the Lowest Monetary Bidder whose bid is responsive, and who is responsible to perform the work, as required by the Contract Documents.

The term “responsive” is defined by California law, but generally means that the bid has been prepared and submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Bidding Requirements.

The term “responsible” is defined by California law, but generally means that the Bidder is able to demonstrate that it possesses: (1) the capacity to perform the work required by the Contract Documents with respect to financial strength, resources available, and experience; and (2) the integrity and trustworthiness to complete performance of the work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

The City will make its determination of responsibility based upon information submitted by

Bidders contained in the Bidders Qualifications and Bidders References included in the Bid Forms and, if necessary, through interviews with previous cities, clients, design professionals, or subcontractors with whom the Bidder has worked. In determining whether or not a Bidder is responsible, the City may consider the following factors in relation to the work to be performed for this Project:

(a) Demonstrated financial strength including, but not limited to, resources available,

bonding capacity, and available insurance. (b) Demonstrated safety record including, but not limited to, Experience Modification

Rate. (c) Successful completion of projects of similar scope and size. In reviewing this factor,

the City may consider elements including, but not limited to, contract amount of completed projects, experience on public works projects, experience implementing prevailing wage certified payroll requirements, timeliness of performance and, if necessary, evaluation of the Bidder’s work by previous cities, clients, design professionals, or subcontractors.

(d) Sufficiency of contract administration and construction management systems

including, but not limited to, proposed scheduling tools, proposed subcontract forms, proposed progress payment applications, and proposed certification of payroll documents.


(e) History of claims, litigation, termination or disqualification from projects.

If the Engineer finds that the Lowest Monetary Bidder submitted a responsive Bid and that the Bidder is responsible, then that Bidder shall be deemed the apparent “Lowest Responsible Bidder,” and the Engineer shall report the findings to the City Council.

If the Engineer finds that the Lowest Monetary Bidder’s bid is not responsive, or that the Lowest Monetary Bidder is not responsible, then the Engineer may review the responsiveness and responsibility of the next Lowest Monetary Bidder. If the Engineer finds that the next Lowest Monetary Bidder is responsive and responsible, then that next lowest Bidder shall be deemed the apparent “Lowest Responsible Bidder,” and Engineer shall report its findings as recommendations to the City Council. This process may continue until the Engineer finds the Lowest Monetary Bidder which is also responsive and responsible.

In the event that one or more Low Monetary Bidders are found by the Engineer to be non-

responsive or non-responsible, those Bidders will be given notice and a reasonable opportunity to present additional relevant evidence to the Engineer for consideration, within five (5) working days after the Bidder receives the notice.

All findings by the Engineer shall be reported as recommendations to the City Council. The City Council reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, and to waive any irregularity. No Bid shall be binding upon the City until after the Agreement is signed by both the Contractor and the City. If the City Council determines that it is in the City’s best interest to award the Agreement, a Notice of Award shall be sent to the Lowest Responsible Bidder as determined by the City Council. The City Council’s decision shall be final.

The City may investigate the responsibility and qualifications of all Bidders to whom the award is contemplated for a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days after the Bid opening, during which time no bid shall be withdrawn by the Bidders. The ninety (90) day review period may be extended upon the written request by the Engineer and written approval by the affected Bidder.

3.03 Award of Contract - After the City Council makes a determination as to which Bidder is the Lowest Responsible Bidder, the City shall issue a Notice of Award to the Lowest Responsible Bidder. Within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Award, Bidder shall submit to the City two (2) originals of the signed agreement, the required improvement securities, proof of insurance, a City of Tracy business license and a copy of the required State Contractor’s license. After the Bidder has properly submitted these documents, the City will execute the Agreement and issue a Notice to Proceed.

3.04 Assignment - No agreement or portion thereof maybe assigned without consent of the Council, except that the Contractor may assign money due which will accrue to him under the Agreement. If given written notice, such assignment will be recognized by the City to the extent permitted by law, but any assignment of money shall be subject to all proper setoffs and withholdings in favor of the City and to all deductions provided for in the Agreement. All money withheld, whether assigned or not, shall be subject to being used by the City for completion of the work, should the Contractor be in default.

Any attempt to assign or delegate the Agreement without the written consent of the City shall be

void and of no force and effect. Consent by the City to one assignment shall not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent assignment.


3.05 Return of Bid Security - Within 10 working days after the execution of the Agreement, the City will return the proposal guaranties accompanying the proposals that are not to be considered in making the award. All other proposal guaranties will be held until the Agreement has been fully executed, after which, they will be returned to the respective bidders whose proposals they accompanied.

3.06 Forfeiture of Proposal Guarantee - If Bidder does not properly execute the contract and

submit the acceptable bonds, insurance and certifications within the specified time, this shall be just cause for the annulment of the award and the forfeiture of the proposal guarantee to the City. The City may then award the contract to next Lowest Responsible Bidder. The forfeited proposal guarantee may be utilized by the City in accordance with Public Contract Code, Sections 20170 through 20174.

3.07 Contract Bonds - Before execution of the contract by the City, the Contractor shall file with the City surety bonds satisfactory to the City in the amounts, and for the purposes, noted below.

(a) Performance Bond - The “Faithful Performance Bond” shall be for one hundred percent

(100%) of the contract price to guarantee faithful performance of all work, within the time prescribed, in a manner satisfactory to the City, and that all materials and workmanship will be free from original or developed defects.

(b) Labor and Material Bond - The “Labor and Material” Bond shall be for not less than one

hundred percent (100%) of the contract price, to satisfy claims of material suppliers and of mechanics and laborers employed by it on the work. The bond shall be maintained by the Contractor in full force and effect until the work is accepted by the City and until all claims for materials and labor are paid.

(c) Warranty Bond - The Contractor shall furnish a warranty bond in the amount of ten

percent (10%) of the final contract price (total cost including change orders) to guarantee his work for one (1) year after acceptance of the work by the City Council. Bonds shall be duly executed by a responsible corporate Surety, licensed and authorized to issue

such bonds in the State of California and secured through an authorized agent with an office in California. Each bond shall be signed by both the Contractor and Surety and the signature of the authorized agent of the Surety shall be notarized.

The Contractor shall pay all bond premiums, costs and incidentals. Should any bond become

insufficient due to an increase in the contract amount, the Contractor shall obtain supplemental bonding within 10 days.

Should any Surety at any time be unsatisfactory to the City, notice will be given the Contractor to

that effect. No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under the Agreement until a new Surety shall qualify and be accepted by the City.

Changes in the work, or extensions of time, made pursuant to the Agreement, shall in no way

release the Contractor or Surety from their obligations. The requirement for notifying the Surety of such changes or extensions shall be waived by the Surety.

3.08 Insurance Requirements - Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the

Agreement, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Contractor, his agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The cost of such insurance shall be included in the Contractor’s bid.


(a) Minimum Scope of Insurance - Coverage shall be at least as broad as:

Insurance Services Office (ISO) Commercial General Liability coverage

(occurrence Form number CG 00 01) or ISO form (Form CG 00 09 11 88 Owners and Contractors Protective Liability Coverage Form – Coverage for Operations of Designated Contractor.

Insurance Services Office form number CA 00 01 covering Automobile Liability, Code 1 “any auto”.

Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by the Labor Code of the State of

California and Employers Liability insurance.

(b) Minimum Limits of Insurance - Contractor shall maintain limits no less than:

General Liability: $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If Commercial General Liability Insurance or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.

Automobile Liability: $1,000,000 combined single limit per accident for bodily

injury and property damage. Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability: Workers’ compensation limits

as required by the Labor Code of the State of California and Employers Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident.

(c) Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions - Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be

declared to and approved by the City. At the option of the City, either (a) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers; or (b) the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

(d) Other Insurance Provisions - The policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the

following provisions:

1. General Liability and Automobile Liability Coverages:

The City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of the Contractor, products and completed operations of the Contractor, premises owned, occupied or used by the Contractor, or automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by the Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.

The Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the

City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.


Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers. The Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suite is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

2. Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Coverage

The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by the Contractor for the City.

3. All Coverages

Each insurance policy required by this clause shall be endorsed to state that

coverage shall not be suspended voided, cancelled by either party, reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City.

(e) Acceptability of Insurers - Insurance is to be placed with California admitted insurers with a

Best’s rating of no less than A:VII.

(f) Verification of Coverage - Contractor shall furnish the City with certificates of insurance and with original endorsements effecting coverage required by this clause. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificates and endorsements may either be on forms provided by the City or forms provided by the insurer so long as all the necessary information is represented. Where by statute, the City’s workers’ compensation-related forms cannot be used, equivalent forms approved by the Insurance Commissioner are to be substituted. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

(g) Subcontractor Insurance Contractor shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall secure separate certificates and endorsements from each Subcontractor. All Subcontractor coverages shall be subject to all of the requirements stated in this Section, General Provisions, Section 3.08, “Insurance Requirements”.

(h) Indemnification - Approval of any insurance contracts by City does not relieve the Contractor or Subcontractor from liability under the Indemnification Section of the Agreement. City will not be liable for any accident, loss, or damage to the work prior to its completion and acceptance.


SECTION 4 - SCOPE AND CONTROL OF THE WORK 4.01 Work to be Done – The work to be done consists of furnishing all labor, materials,

equipment and services necessary to complete the project, as further described in the Notice to Bidders of these Specifications, and as necessary to leave the site in a neat condition.

4.02 Project Scope - It is the intent of the Plans and Specifications to describe a functionally

complete project (or part thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. In general, the Special Provisions, General Provisions, and other sections of the specifications indicate the responsibilities of the Contractor and the quality of material and methods of workmanship. The plans indicate dimensions, quantities, positions, and various other details of construction. Clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents shall be issued by Engineer.

Any work, materials or equipment that may be reasonably inferred from the Contract Documents

as being required to produce the intended result shall be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words, which have a well-known technical or trade meaning, are used to describe the work, materials or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. See General Provisions, Section 6.07, “Trade Names or Equals”.

Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or

association, or to the Laws or Regulations of any governmental authority, whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code or Laws or Regulations in effect at the time of the opening of bids (or, on the Effective Date of the Agreement if there were no bids), except as may be otherwise specifically stated. However, no provisions of any referenced standard specifications, manual or code (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference in the Contract Documents) shall be effective to change the duties and responsibilities of City, Contractor or Engineer, or any of their consultants, agents or employees, from those set forth in the Contract Documents, nor shall it be effective to assign to the Engineer, or any of the Engineer’s Consultants, agents or employees, any duty or authority to supervise or direct the furnishing or performance of the work or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility for the Contractor.

4.03 Authority of the Engineer – The City has the final authority in all matters affecting the

work. Within the scope of the Agreement, the Engineer has the authority to enforce compliance with the Plans and Specifications and the Contractor shall promptly comply with instructions from the Engineer. The decision of the Engineer is final and binding on all questions relating to: quantities; acceptability of materials furnished and work performed; equipment; work execution, rate of progress or sequence of work; and interpretation of the Plans, Specifications, or other drawings. This shall be precedent to any payment under the Agreement, unless otherwise ordered by the City.

4.04 Contract Documents – For a list of items that make up the Contract Documents, see the Agreement, Section 2, “Contract Documents”.

4.05 Precedence of Contract Documents - All of the individual components of the Contract

Documents are intended to be complementary and what is required by one shall be binding as if required by all. Interpretation of a disputed meaning or intent of the plans and specifications shall be made initially by the Engineer in accordance with the application of the order of precedence, as described in the Agreement, Section 2.1, “List of Contract Documents and Precedence”. Any final decisions required regarding precedence and discrepancies in the Contract Documents shall be made by the Engineer.

4.06 Plans and Specifications - The Contractor shall keep at the worksite a copy of the plans and specifications, to which the Engineer shall have access to at all times.


For convenience, the Specifications are arranged in several sections, but such separation shall not

be considered as the limits of the work required by any separate trade. The terms and conditions of such limitations are wholly between the Contractor and his subcontractors.

While the City has endeavored to accurately represent in the plans and specifications the physical

conditions which may affect the cost of the proposed work, the City does not warrant the completeness or accuracy of such information. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain the existence of any such conditions affecting the cost of the work, which would have been disclosed by reasonable examination of the site.

Conclusions pertaining to any test, investigation, statement or estimate of fact incorporated in the

plans and specifications shall be considered by the Contractor to be a recommendation only. The Contractor may request equal access to the underlying or background information to arrive at his own opinion thereon, including his determination of how reliable might be any conclusion appearing in (or inferred from) the information. The Contractor may not rely upon “record drawings” or similar final or accepted drawings or maps constructed on public or private property. Such information may be used for reference only. Actual locations and depths shall be determined by field investigations by the Contractor.

No oral or telephonic agreement or conversation with any officer, agent, or employee of the City

or the Engineer, or with the Engineer, either before or after execution of the contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations contained in any of the contract documents.

4.07 Interpretation of Plans and Specifications - The Contractor and each of his Subcontractors shall carefully study and compare each component of the plans and specifications with each other, with information furnished by the City, with the Contract Documents and with applicable legal requirements. During the progress of construction if any errors, inconsistencies, ambiguities, omissions, conflicts or discrepancies are detected, it shall be the Contractor’s duty to immediately report them to the Engineer and obtain written instructions on how to resolve deficiencies prior to proceeding with affected work.

4.08 Record Documents - Contractor shall maintain in good order, at the work site a record

copy of all Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Written Amendments, Change Orders, Work Directives, Field Orders and written interpretations and clarifications. These record documents together with all approved samples and a counterpart of all approved Shop Drawings will be available to the Engineer as a reference at all times. Upon completion of the work, these record documents, samples and Shop Drawings will be delivered to Engineer.

The Contractor shall prepare, and update, a master “as-built” set of red-ink annotated (red-lined)

plans, to be reviewed and approved by the Engineer at the end of every month. Upon the project’s completion, and prior to acceptance, the Contractor shall submit to the City the completed as-built plans.

4.09 Reuse of Documents - Neither the Contractor nor any Subcontractor or supplier or other

person or organization performing or furnishing any of the work under a direct or indirect agreement with the City shall have any title or ownership rights to any of the Drawings, Specifications or other documents (or copies thereof) which bear the seal of the design engineer. Such documents shall not be reused on extensions of the project or for any other project without written consent of the City and the design engineer.

4.10 Subsurface Data - All soil and soil test data, water table elevations, and soil analyses

included or referred to in the Contract Documents apply only at the location of the test holes and to the depths indicated. Soil test reports for test holes which have been drilled are available for inspection at the


office of the Engineer. Any additional subsurface exploration shall be done by Bidders or the Contractor at their own expense.

The elevation of the water table indicated by soil test reports is that which existed on the date the

test hole was drilled. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to determine and allow for the possibility of differing ground water elevations on the date of the project’s construction. A difference in elevation between ground water shown in soil boring logs and ground water actually encountered during construction will not be considered as a basis for extra work.

4.11 Right-of-Way – Acquisition of right-of-way or permanent easements necessary for the

improvements as shown on the plans will be provided by the City. Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall make his own arrangements, pay for, and assume all responsibility for acquiring, using, and disposing of additional work areas, easements, and temporary facilities required. Contractor shall identify and hold the City harmless from all claims for damages resulting from such actions.

4.12 Removal of Defective and Unauthorized Work - Should the Contractor deliberately

proceed with any portion or phase of construction which is obviously incorrectly indicated in the contract plans or documents, he shall be responsible for any corrective measures required to make adequate repairs or adjustment. This shall include any work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the plans or established by the Engineer, or any extra work done without written authority.

All work that has been rejected shall be remedied or removed and replaced by the Contractor in

an acceptable manner and no compensation will be allowed for such removal or replacement. 4.13 Shop Drawing Submittals - When shop drawings, submittals or samples are required by

the specifications or requested by the Engineer, they shall be prepared in accordance with Construction Management best practices at the Contractor’s expense. Unless otherwise specified, six (6) copies of all submittals shall be provided to the Engineer for review at least 30 days before approved drawings will be required for the work. One (1) set will be returned to the Contractor marked “No Exceptions Taken”, “Furnish as Corrected”, “Revise and Resubmit”, or “Rejected”. If changes are required, six (6) copies of corrected shop drawings shall be resubmitted to the Engineer.

Shop drawings shall be of a size and scale to clearly show all necessary details. For items requiring shop drawings, no materials shall be furnished, and no work shall be

performed, until the drawings have been favorably reviewed. Favorable review of the shop drawings by the Engineer is interpreted to mean that there is

substantial and acceptable conformance with the contract plans, but details of design may not necessarily be checked for adequacy or accuracy. Such acceptance shall not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility for errors or omissions in the shop drawings or from deviations from the contract documents unless such errors, omissions, or deviations were specifically called to the attention of the Engineer in writing. The Contractor shall be responsible for the correctness of the shop drawings, for shop fits and field corrections, and for the results obtained by the use of such plans.

4.14 Construction Staking - Unless otherwise stated in the Special Provisions, the Contractor

shall provide, preserve, and replace if necessary, all of the necessary construction stakes required for the construction of the project. Grades for underground conduits will be set on the ground surface and shall then be transfered to the bottom of the trench by the Contractor.


Stakes or marks will be set by a California Licensed Surveyor or a California Registered Civil Engineer to establish the lines and grades required for the completion of the work as specified in the Contract Documents. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the Engineer of any discrepancies found between field grades and notes shown within the Contract Documents.

Contractor shall furnish horizontal control and cut sheets to the Engineer immediately upon the

setting of construction or boundary markers. Upon completion, all work shall conform to the lines, elevations, and grades shown on the plans.

4.15 Inspection of the Work - Unless otherwise stated in the specifications, the City shall

perform all required inspections. All work is subject to inspection and approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall notify the

Engineer before noon of the working day before inspection is required. Unless otherwise authorized, work shall be done only in the presence of the Engineer. Any work done without proper inspection will be subject to rejection. The Engineer shall at all times have access to the work during its construction at shops and yards as well as the project site. The Contractor shall provide every reasonable facility for ascertaining that the materials and workmanship are in accordance with the Contract Documents. Inspection of the work shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to fulfill all conditions of the contract.

If a portion of the work is covered contrary to the Engineer’s request or direction, or contrary to

the requirements of the Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by the Engineer, be uncovered for the Engineer’s observation and be replaced at Contractor’s expense without adjustment of the contract time or the contract sum.

If a portion of the work has been covered, which is not required by the Contract Documents to be

observed or inspected prior to its being covered and which the Engineer has not specifically requested to observe prior to its being covered, the Engineer may request to see such work and it shall be uncovered and replaced by Contractor. If such work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, the costs of uncovering and replacing the work shall be added to the contract sum by change order; and if the uncovering and replacing of the work extends the contract time, an appropriate adjustment of the contract time shall be made by change order. If such work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs and shall not be entitled to an adjustment of the contract time or the contract sum.

In the event the Contractor elects to work beyond the specified hours of work, or on a Saturday,

Sunday or recognized City holiday, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance to seek approval and if approved, shall reimburse the City for the cost of overtime inspection.

4.16 Testing - Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, all required testing will

either be performed directly by the City or by an independent laboratory, coordinated and paid for by the City. Contractor shall cooperate with the City in coordinating the necessary testing. The coordination of testing, including the number and location of tests, shall be under the direction of the Engineer. All compaction test sites deeper than five (5’) feet below grade shall be properly shored by the Contractor to protect testing personnel.

The cost for performing re-tests due to failures, or additional call-outs if work is not ready to test,

will be charged to the Contractor. The City shall require retesting until all required tests are successfully passed.


SECTION 5 – CHANGES IN WORK

5.01 Limited City Authority - The Contractor recognizes that the City is a public agency and

that it can only act through its duly authorized agents. In this regard, the Contractor agrees that only written change orders, executed by the governing body of the City, shall be valid. The Engineer shall have no authority to issue a change order unless so specifically authorized, and no person shall have authority to issue any oral change order.

5.02 Contractor Liability for Unapproved Change Orders - Unless a valid change order is

issued, all changes in the work performed by the Contractor shall be at the Contractor’s own risk, and shall not be entitled to any additional compensation. Furthermore, the Contractor may be required to make the work conform to the plans and specifications. No act or series of acts by the City during the course of the contract shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of the City’s right to rely upon the provisions of this Section 5, “Changes in Work”.

5.03 Non-Material Change Requests by the Contractor - Changes in the plans and

specifications requested in writing by the Contractor, which do not materially affect the work and which are not detrimental to the work or to the interests of the City, may be granted to facilitate the work, when approved in writing by the Engineer. If such changes are granted, they shall be made at a reduction in cost or at no additional cost to the City. Nothing herein shall be construed as granting a right to the Contractor to demand acceptance of such changes or to increase the contract sum or contract time as a result of the proposed change.

5.04 Letters of Instruction - The Engineer may issue letters of instruction in the form of Field

Orders, Clarifications, responses to Requests for Information, or any other document which makes interpretations or clarifications to the Contract Documents that do not modify the scope of work or involve an adjustment in the contract sum or contract time. Letters of Instruction shall be binding upon the Contractor, and the Contractor shall promptly carry out the requirements of such Letters of Instruction.

5.05 Inconsistencies, Changed Conditions and Requests for Information - Before undertaking

each part of the work, the Contractor shall carefully study all pertinent figures shown in the Contract Documents and verify that all applicable field measurements are free of conflicts, errors, discrepancies, inconsistencies and omissions. If such conditions are discovered, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer by writing a Request for Information, and await direction from the Engineer before proceeding.

If the Contractor encounters a changed condition, as defined by one or more of the conditions

below, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer by writing a Request for Information before disturbing the condition further.

(a) Material differing from that represented in the Contract which the Contractor

believes may be hazardous waste, as defined by Health and Safety Code, Section 25117 that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provision of existing law; and

(b) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially from those

represented in the Contract Documents; and


(c) Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work and of the character provided for in the Contract Documents.

No extension of Contract time shall be made by the City due to the Contractor’s failure to provide

a timely written notice of any inconsistency or changed condition requiring direction. The Engineer will respond to the Contractor’s Request for Information within 48 hours, providing an interpretation, clarification or change order for an appropriate adjustment in contract time and cost pursuant to General Provisions, Section 5.07, “Change Orders”. Contractor shall wait for the Engineer’s written response to a Request for Information before proceeding with any work.

The Contractor shall not be liable to the City for failure to report any conflict, error, or

discrepancy in the Contract Documents, unless the Contractor had actual knowledge or could foresee such conditions as may be discovered by a reasonable examination of the work site or materials. If the Contractor performs any construction activity in which he knows or should know involves an error, inconsistency, ambiguity, or omission referred to in this Section, without notifying and obtaining the written consent of the Engineer, Contractor shall be responsible for the resultant costs, including, without limitation, the costs of correcting defective work. However, in an emergency affecting the safety of persons or property, the Contractor shall take all reasonably necessary precautions to prevent or minimize damage, injury, or loss.

5.06 Extra Work - New or unforeseen work may be classified as “Extra Work” when the

Engineer determines that the work is either not covered by contract unit prices, not stipulated in the scope of work, represents work that is substantially different from what the Contractor bid upon, or falls under the category of a changed condition. The General and Special Provisions shall apply with equal force to all of the work, including extra work authorized. Payment for extra work will be made on the basis of General Provisions, Section 5.07, “Change Orders”.

The Contractor shall maintain records sufficient to distinguish the direct cost of extra work from

the cost of other operations. The Engineer will compare his records with the Contractor’s reports, to make the necessary adjustments and compile the costs associated with the extra work.

When extra work reports are agreed upon and signed by both parties, they shall become the basis

of payment. When extra work is still under negotiation or has not been agreed upon, the Contractor shall keep daily detailed and accurate records itemizing each element of cost and shall provide certified payroll, invoices, and other substantiating records and documentation.

5.07 Change Orders – At any time during the progress of the work, and without in any way rendering void the Agreement, the City may order alterations, additions or deductions from the work by change order, without notice to sureties. When so ordered in writing, the Contractor shall proceed with work as directed by the change order.

The change order shall describe the change in the work, the adjustment of the contract sum (if

any), and the adjustment of the contract time (if any). The Contractor shall not be entitled to any extension of time for the completion of the work by virtue of any change order unless the change order specifically provides for this. If, after receiving a change order, the Contractor feels that he is entitled to an extension of time, he may, within five (5) working days file a written claim to that effect for consideration by the Engineer.

The process of submitting a proposed change, a cost proposal, or negotiating an agreed upon

change order, or any failure to reach an agreement as to an adjustment in the contract sum or the contract


time, shall not relieve the Contractor of his obligation to perform in accordance with the Contract Documents.

A change order may be in the form of a City directed change order or an agreed upon change

order. Upon the receipt of either form of change order, the Contractor shall proceed promptly and diligently with the extra work.

(a) City Directed Change Orders - A City directed change order may be issued by the City

without the Contractor’s signature where the City determines that it is in the City’s best interest to proceed with the work, and the change does not materially alter the character of the work. The Contractor shall be deemed to have accepted the terms of any City directed change order unless the Contractor asserts a claim with respect to the change order, no later than ten (10) working days following the Contractor’s receipt of the change order. See General Provisions, Section 5.08, “Disputed Work”.

(b) Agreed Upon Change Orders - Within five (5) working days after receiving a request from the City for a written proposal for an agreed upon Change Order, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a cost proposal in a form satisfactory to the Engineer, setting forth the Contractor’s proposed adjustments to the contract sum and contract time for performing the extra work.

Compensation for agreed upon change orders shall be calculated based upon the unit

prices stated in the Bid Schedule and no additional markup for overhead or profit will be provided. If there are no unit prices for the extra work, the Contractor and the City may agree upon unit prices or lump sum costs, which shall be used to increase or decrease the contract sum. In the absence of any such agreement, the contract sum shall be adjusted by Force Account.

1. Unit Price Adjustments - Unit prices shall govern not only for alterations to

work covered by written specifications and drawings, but also for other work incidental or necessary to completing the work for which written specifications and drawings may be later prepared. Whenever an item of work or materials is specified in the contract by unit price and is changed by less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Engineer’s estimated quantity for that item of work as specified in the Bid Schedule, then the contract sum shall be increased or decreased by the application of the unit price so specified. Whenever an item of work exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the Engineer’s estimated quantity, the City reserves the right to renegotiate with the Contractor for the unit price associated with that bid item. This renegotiated price shall apply to only the amount in excess of twenty-five percent (25%). If the City decides not to renegotiate, or a renegotiated price cannot be reached by the Contractor and the City, then the payment for this item shall be adjusted by Force Account.

2. Agreed Upon Price Adjustments – If there are no unit prices for proposed

extra work, the Contractor and the City may agree upon unit prices or lump sum costs, by written change order, prior to commencing work. In the absence of any such agreement, the contract sum shall be adjusted by Force Account.

3. Force Account Price Adjustments - When extra work is to be paid on a force

account basis, the labor, materials and equipment used in the performance of that work shall be paid in accordance with the State Standard Specification, Section 9-1.03 (Force Account Payment). To the total of the direct costs computed, there will be an added markup of 33% to the cost of labor, 15% to the cost of materials and 15% to the cost of


equipment. These markups shall constitute full compensation for any and all overhead costs, profit, or other costs not specifically designated as a cost of labor, material or equipment. When subcontractors perform force account work, an additional 5% markup shall be added to the total cost of the extra work to reimburse the Contractor for additional administrative costs. No markup for any Subcontractor beyond the first tier shall be paid.

During the performance of extra work by Force Account, and as a condition to

the Contractor’s right to an adjustment of the contract sum, the Contractor shall prepare daily reports itemizing all costs for labor, materials, and equipment rental. For labor costs, the reports shall include names, job classifications, hours worked and rates of pay. For equipment costs, the reports shall include size, type, identification number and hours of operation. All records and reports shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval on a daily basis. Reports shall be made on the State of California, Daily Extra Work Report Form or on a similar form approved by the Engineer.

a. Labor - Labor costs shall be based on the prevailing wage scale for

each craft or type of workman, and no compensation shall be allowed for payment in excess of the prevailing wage. Employer payments for payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, and other direct labor costs shall be included and will be calculated as the Labor Surcharge stipulated in the State of California, Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates book.

b. Materials - Materials cost shall be the cost of all materials purchased

by the Contractor and used in the extra work and shall be the actual cost of such materials, including sales taxes, freight and delivery charges. The City reserves the right to approve materials to be furnished by the Contractor, sources of supply or, if necessary, to furnish the materials to the Contractor. No compensation will be paid to the Contractor for any material furnished by the City or for materials not used.

c. Equipment Rental - The Contractor will be allowed the actual rental

rate of equipment, prorated over the time the machinery or equipment is required. For Contractor owned equipment, this rate shall be as stipulated in the State of California, Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates book. In addition, the Contractor will be allowed reasonable move-in and move-out charges, if applicable. All equipment shall, in the opinion of the Engineer, be in good working order, good condition, and suitable for its purpose. Equipment or tools having a replacement value of $200.00 or less, whether or not consumed by use, shall be considered small tools and no payment will be made therefore.

d. Other Services or Expenditures - The City may authorize and approve

payment for work performed by special forces or necessary services and expenditures other than labor, materials, and equipment rental.

5.08 Disputed Work - When the Engineer and Contractor fail to agree as to whether an

alteration ordered by the Engineer constitutes a material change or difference in the character of the work, or fail to agree upon the compensation to be allowed for such altered work, the Contractor shall proceed with the altered work and file with the Engineer, within ten (10) working days after receiving direction from the Engineer, a written protest detailing the particulars of the dispute and the amount of additional compensation or time required for the alteration. Failure of the Engineer to recognize a change


in the character of work when ordering alterations shall in no way be construed as relieving the Contractor of the Contractor’s duty and responsibility for filing a protest as prescribed above. The City will not consider additional compensation for altered work unless the Contractor files a written protest within ten (10) working days after receiving direction from the Engineer.

If the Contractor has complied with the notification requirements of this sub-section,

consideration of payment due shall be made as later determined through claim resolution procedures as set forth in General Provisions, Section 10, “Measurement and Payment”.

Although not to be considered as approval for proceeding under extra work provisions, the

Contractor shall keep and furnish records of disputed work in accordance with General Provisions, Section 5.06, “Extra Work”.


SECTION 6 - CONTROL OF MATERIALS

6.01 Materials and Workmanship - All materials, parts and equipment furnished by the

Contractor in the work shall be new, high grade, and free from defects. Workmanship shall be in accordance with generally accepted standards. Materials and workmanship shall be subject to the Engineer’s approval.

Materials and workmanship not conforming to the requirements of these specifications shall be

considered defective and will be subject to rejection. Defective work or material, whether in place or not, shall be removed immediately from the site by the Contractor, at his expense, when so directed by the Engineer.

If the Contractor fails to replace any defective or damaged work or material after notice from the

Engineer, the Engineer may cause such work or materials to be replaced. The replacement expense shall be deducted from the amount to be paid to the Contractor.

Used or secondhand materials, parts and equipment is permissible only if permitted by the

Special Provisions. Specialized material or equipment to be used in the work that is not readily available from

material suppliers (such as electroliers, luminaries, signal poles, heads, cable, controllers, pumps, etc.) shall be ordered within five (5) days after award of the contract. Time extensions will not be granted for project delays due to the unavailability of such specialized material and equipment unless the Contractor furnishes the Engineer with documentation of purchase order dates, acceptable reason for delay of delivery, or proof of diligent efforts to obtain said items from alternate sources.

The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with periodic reports to inform the Engineer of any

changes in the projected material or equipment delivery dates. 6.02 Protection of Work and Materials - The Contractor shall provide and maintain storage

facilities and employ such measures as will preserve the specified quality and fitness of materials to be used in the work. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. The Contractor shall also adequately protect new and existing work and equipment for the duration of his contract.

The Contractor shall not, without the City’s consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or

remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be necessary for the completion of the contract.

6.03 Inspection of Materials by City - Unless otherwise specified, inspection may be required

at the source for such typical materials and fabricated items as bituminous paving mixtures, structural concrete, metal fabrication, metal casting, welding, concrete pipe manufacture, protective coating application, and similar shop or plant operations.

Standard items of equipment such as electric motors, conveyers, elevators, plumbing fixtures,

etc., are subject to inspection at the job site. Special items of equipment such as designed electrical panel boards, large pumps, sewage plant equipment, etc., are subject to inspection at the source, normally only for performance testing. The Special Provisions may specify additional inspection requirements.

6.04 Inspection of Materials by Others - When the City does not elect to make its own

inspection at the source, the City may, at its expense, engage an inspector or accredited testing laboratory


to inspect the materials, equipment or process. The inspector or representative of the testing laboratory shall judge the materials by the requirements of the plans and specifications. No materials or equipment shall be shipped nor any processing, fabrication or treatment of such materials shall be done without a favorable inspection by the engaged agent. These materials shall be subject to re-inspection at the job-site.

6.05 Tests of Materials - Before incorporation into the work, the Contractor shall submit

samples of materials, as the Engineer may require, at no cost to the City. The Contractor, at his own expense, shall deliver the materials for testing to the place, and at the time designated, by the Engineer. Unless otherwise provided by the Special Provisions, all testing shall be performed under the direction of the Engineer, and at no expense to the Contractor.

The Contractor shall notify the City in writing at least 15 days in advance of his intention to use

materials for which tests are specified, to allow sufficient time for the City to perform the tests. The notice shall name the proposed supplier and source of material.

6.06 Certification – The Engineer may waive material testing requirements of the

Specifications and accept the manufacturer’s written Certificate of Compliance or test data demonstrating that the materials to be supplied meet the requirements of the specifications. A Certificate of Compliance is acceptable for authorizing the use of steel pipe in sizes less than 18 inches and vitrified clay, cast iron or ductile iron pipe in all sizes. All materials used on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance may be sampled or tested by the City at any time. The fact that material is used on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for incorporating materials in the work which conforms to the requirements of the Contract Documents.

6.07 Trade Names or Equals - Whenever any particular material, process, or equipment is

indicated by patent, proprietary or brand name, or by name of a manufacturer, such wording is used for the purpose of facilitating its description and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “or equal”. A listing of materials is not intended to be comprehensive, or in order of preference. The Contractor may offer any material, process, or equipment which he considers to be equivalent to that indicated. Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, the offer must be submitted in sufficient time, before the normal use or installation of the material, process or equipment, for the Engineer to determine the equivalency and for the Contractor to make any required purchases (including delivery).

The Contractor shall, at his expense furnish data concerning items offered by him as equivalent to

those specified. The Contractor shall have the material tested as required by the Engineer to determine that the quality, strength, physical, chemical, or other characteristics, including durability, finish, efficiency, dimensions, service, and suitability are such that the item will fulfill its intended function. Installation and use of a proposed item shall not occur until after approval by the Engineer.

Test methods shall be submitted for approval by the Engineer prior to the test being performed

on an item proposed for substitution. Test results shall be reported promptly to the Engineer, who will evaluate the results and determine if the proposed item is equivalent. The Engineer shall determine whether the material offered is equivalent to that specified, and the Engineer’s findings shall be final. If a substitute offered by the Contractor is found to be not equal to the specified material, the Contractor shall furnish and install the specified material.

The specified contract completion time shall not be affected by any circumstances developing

from the provisions of this Section.


6.08 Weighing and Metering Equipment – All scales and metering equipment used for proportioning materials shall be inspected for accuracy and certified within the past 12 months by the State of California Bureau of Weights and Measures, by the County Director or Sealer of Weights and Measures, or by a scale mechanic registered with or licensed by the County,

The accuracy of the work by a scale service agency, except as stated herein, shall meet the

standards of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Code of Regulations pertaining to weighing devices. A certificate of compliance shall be presented to the Engineer for approval prior to operation, and shall be renewed whenever required by the Engineer at no cost to the City.

All scales shall be arranged so they may be read easily from the operator’s platform or area. They

shall indicate the true net weight without the application of any factor. The figures of the scales shall be clearly legible. Scales shall be accurate to within 1 percent when tested with the plant shut down. Weighing equipment shall be so insulated against vibration or moving of other operating equipment in the plant area such that the error in weighing with the entire plant running will not exceed 2 percent for any setting nor 1.5 percent for any batch.

6.09 Calibration of Testing Equipment – Testing equipment, such as but not limited to,

pressure gages, metering devices, hydraulic systems, force (load) measuring instruments, and strain-measuring devices shall be calibrated by a testing agency acceptable to the Engineer at intervals not to exceed 12 months, and following repairs, modification, or relocation of the equipment. Calibration certificates shall be provided when requested by the Engineer.


SECTION 7 – UTILITIES

7.01 City’s Statutory Obligation - Pursuant to Government Code, Section 4215, the City shall

assume responsibility for the cost of timely removal, relocation, or protection of existing main or trunk line utility facilities located on the Project site if such utilities are not identified by the City in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall be compensated for the costs of locating, repairing, removing or relocating such utility facilities, and for the cost of idled equipment on the project during such work, providing that the Contractor exercised reasonable care and that damage was not caused due to the Contractor’s negligence. The Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in the completion of the Project, when such delay was caused by the failure of the City or the owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of such utility facilities.

7.02 Contractor’s Obligation to Identify and Protect Subsurface Infrastructure - The

Contractor shall locate and protect service laterals, conduits, and appurtenances of any underground facility, the presence of which could be reasonably inferred from the Contract Documents or from the presence of visible facilities such as buildings, meters, and junction boxes, prior to doing any work that may damage any such facilities, or interfere with their service. Where underground main distribution conduits, such as water, gas, sewer, electric power, telephone, or cable television are shown on the plans, the Contractor shall assume that every parcel will be served by a service connection for each type of utility. The Contractor shall comply with all requirements for the protection of underground infrastructure as set forth in Government Code, Sections 4215 through 4216.9.

It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to complete all work in a manner that satisfies utility

company standards, providing if requested, detailed plans prepared by a California Registered Civil Engineer showing necessary temporary support of utilities during coordinated construction work. The Contractor is directed to contact these agencies before submitting bids and to be familiar with their requirements.

The Contractor agrees to assume liability and to hold the City of Tracy, its officers, and

employees harmless from any damages resulting from the existence of underground utilities and structures not reported to the Engineer, not indicated on the public records examined, or located at variance with that reported or shown on records examined.

7.03 Location - The City will search known records and indicate on the plans those utilities,

except service connections, which may affect the work. All available information regarding removal, relocation, or disconnection of utilities, or installation of new utilities, will be furnished to prospective bidders before the receipt of bids. The Contractor shall immediately report to the Engineer those utilities omitted from the plans or found substantially at variance with the location shown.

Existing and proposed utilities and improvements are shown in their approximate locations.

Locations may not have been field verified and no guarantee is made as to the accuracy and completeness of the information shown. The fact that any facility is not shown on the plans shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility under this Section. As necessary or as directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall field adjust proposed improvements to avoid conflicts with existing improvements. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to determine the existence and location of utilities shown on the plans, indicated by field locating services, or evidenced by facilities visible in the field. No additional compensation will be allowed for delays incurred as a result of the Contractor’s failure to field verify and/or pothole existing utilities prior to beginning construction. Potholing shall be considered as part of the various contract bid items and no additional compensation will be allowed.


At least two (2) working days prior to commencing work, the Contractor shall request utility owners to mark or otherwise indicate the location of their substructures. Contractor shall contact Underground Service Alert (USA) at (800) 642-2444 and the Engineer at least 48 hours prior to excavation. The location of utilities as shown on the plans are approximate and are not to be construed as certainty. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to determine the true location and depth of all utilities and service connections affecting or conflicting with the work, prior to the performance of the work. As necessary, the Contractor shall pothole these utilities prior to working in the area to avoid damage to them. Potholing shall be considered as part of the contract bid items, and no separate payment will be made. Contractor shall familiarize himself with the type, material, age and condition of any utility which may be affected by the work.

7.04 Protection - The Contractor shall not interrupt the service function or disturb the

supporting base of any utility, without authority from the utility owner or order from the City. Where protection is required to insure support of existing underground, overhead and at-grade

utilities (including their associated structures and service connections) as shown on the plans, the Contractor shall furnish and place the necessary protection at his expense. In case of damage, the Contractor, without additional compensation, shall restore utilities to as good of a condition as they were found.

Upon learning of the existence and location of any utility omitted from or shown incorrectly on

the plans, the Contractor shall notify the owner and be fully responsible for protecting such utility. When authorized by the Engineer, additional protection may be paid by change order, for utilities other than a service connection.

The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer and the utility owner if he disturbs,

disconnects or damages any utility. If the utility is located substantially as indicated on the plans, the Contractor shall bear the costs of repair or replacement.

When placing concrete around or contiguous to any utility, the Contractor shall at his expense,

furnish and install a cushion of expansion joint material, clear opening, sleeve, or other suitable material approved by the Engineer so as to prevent embedment or bonding of the utility with the concrete.

7.05 Shut Down Notification - Contractor shall coordinate all shut downs with the City’s Public

Works Maintenance Department, and follow all of their requirements for exercising and shutting off water valves on main lines. The Contractor shall have all materials required for the work at the job site prior to requesting a shut off.

Shut down of water or sewer services shall be done only after the Contractor has coordinated the

shut down with the Engineer and the property owners. When a water main, sewer main, or service lateral is to be shut down, the Contractor shall coordinate with and notify the Engineer in writing, at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the shut down. Except for scheduled shutdowns and in cases of emergency, the Contractor shall notify all customers and effected parties of a shut down at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance by writing and four (4) hours in advance by person to allow adequate draw time. Once shut down, the Contractor shall proceed with the work in an expedient manner until the water lines or sewer lines are back in service.

7.06 Removal - Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall remove all portions of

interfering utilities shown on the plans as ‘abandoned’ or “to be abandoned in place”. Before starting removal operations, the Contractor shall ascertain from the utility owner whether abandonment is


complete. The costs involved in the removal and disposal of utilities to be abandoned shall be considered as part of the contract bid items, and no separate payment will be made.

7.07 Relocation - When feasible, the owners of utilities within the area affected by the work

will complete their necessary installations, relocations, repairs, or replacements before commencement of work by the Contractor. When the Contract Documents or plans indicate that a utility is to be relocated, altered or constructed by others, the City will conduct all negotiations with the owners and the work will be done at no cost to the Contractor.

Utilities interfering with the permanent project work, discovered after the award of the contract,

shall either be relocated, altered, or reconstructed by the utility owners, or the Engineer may order changes in the work to avoid interference. Such changes will be paid for in accordance with General Provisions, Section 5, “Changes in Work”.

When the plans or specifications provide for the Contractor to alter, relocate, or reconstruct a

utility, all costs for such work shall be absorbed in the contract bid items. Temporary or permanent relocation or alteration of utilities by the Contractor for his own convenience shall be his responsibility, and he shall make all arrangements, obtain all approvals, and bear all costs. The Contractor may, for his own convenience or to expedite the work, agree with the owner of any utility to disconnect and reconnect interfering service connections. The City shall not be involved in any such agreement.

7.08 Delays - The Contractor is responsible for notifying utility owners in time to prevent

delays attributable to utility relocations or alterations as called for in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be entitled to damages or additional payment if such delay does occur. The Engineer will determine the extent of the delay on the project as a whole, and any commensurate extension of time.

7.09 Cooperation - When necessary, the Contractor shall conduct his operations so as to

permit access to the worksite and provide time for utility work to be accomplished during the progress of the contract work.


SECTION 8 - PROSECUTION, PROGRESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORK

8.01 Notice to Proceed - Within twenty-one (21) calendar days following receipt of the signed agreement, bonds and insurance, the City shall issue the Contractor a Notice to Proceed provided that the documents are acceptable to the City. Unless stated otherwise, the contract time shall commence upon the receipt date on the Notice to Proceed.

8.02 Commencement of Work - Work shall commence within fifteen (15) calendar days

following the receipt date on the Notice to Proceed, and shall be diligently prosecuted to completion within the time provided in the Notice to Bidders.

8.03 Subcontracting - Unless otherwise indicated by the Special Provisions, there is no

minimum requirement as to the amount of work that must be performed by the prime Contractor’s own forces.

8.04 Construction Schedule – Within ten (10) calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, the

Contractor shall submit to the Engineer an acceptable Critical Path Method (CPM) progress schedule showing the critical path for completing the various items of work within the number of contract days specified. The schedule shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to carry out the major items of work and the dates on which he will start and finish the various items (including procurement of materials and equipment). If requested, the schedule shall reflect person/crew hours and equipment loading for various construction activities in order for the City to better evaluate the proposed schedule.

(a) City Review of Schedule – The City may review and note exceptions to the Contractor’s

schedule, if it is not sufficiently detailed to clearly show the work to be completed during each month to assure the completion of the work within the project duration. The Contractor will be solely and exclusively responsible for resolving any exceptions, and the City’s review will not create any scheduling obligations of the City. Any noted corrections to the schedule shall be addressed within five (5) working days.

(b) Update of Schedule – After submission of a schedule to which the City has taken no

exceptions, the Contractor shall submit an updated schedule on a monthly basis or as otherwise specified by the City until completion of the work. The updated schedule must show the “As Constructed” progress up to the date for which the schedule has been prepared and reflect any proposed changes in the method of operations, to achieve the project milestones within the required project duration.

(c) Float – The schedule must show early and late completion dates for each task. The

number of days between these dates will be designated as “float”. The float will be assigned to the project and will be available to both the City and the Contractor as needed to complete the work in accordance with the agreement.

(d) Failure to Submit Schedule – If the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time

periods specified in this sub-section, or submits a schedule to which the City has taken uncorrected exceptions, the City may withhold payments to the Contractor until such schedule is submitted and/or corrected in accordance with the Contract Documents. 8.05 Construction Sequence - The Contractor shall prepare and submit at the pre-construction

meeting a staging or phasing plan identifying the sequence of construction work and traffic control needed to complete the project. The staging plan shall be subject to review and approval by the Engineer, prior to the start of construction. The goal of the phasing plan will be to minimize impacts to


surrounding businesses and residents in the project areas. When required by the Special Provisions or plans, the Contractor shall follow the sequence of operations as set forth therein.

8.06 Recording Existing Conditions - Existing conditions throughout the project site shall be photographed and videotaped by the Contractor before starting construction. Recording shall include and show every detail of existing improvements, including the current condition of the curb, gutter, sidewalk, signs, landscaping, streetlights, structures near the project including face of buildings, canopies, shades, fences and any other features within the limits of work. Photos and videotape shall be delivered to the Engineer at the pre-construction meeting.

8.07 Preconstruction Conference - The City shall designate a date and time for the pre-construction conference once the contract has been fully executed. At the pre-construction conference, the City shall discuss various administrative procedures and project coordination issues. At a minimum, the Contractor should be prepared to furnish and discuss the following:

(a) Letter designating the Superintendent. (b) A list of key personnel and emergency contact information including telephone

numbers to be used in case of emergency (c) Sequence or phasing plans identifying the phasing of construction work and any

alternative sequences for consideration. (d) Traffic control plans associated with the staging plans (to be signed and stamped by

a Licensed Traffic Engineer). (e) A draft of the master construction schedule, in Critical Path Method (CPM) format

(to be finalized no later than 10 days after the Notice to Proceed). (f) A breakdown of lump sum bid items to be used as a basis for determining the value

of work completed on future progress payments. (g) A submittal schedule listing submittals that will need to be reviewed and a listing of

proposed material suppliers. (h) Utility company coordination and/or permit issues. (i) Videotape and photography of the project’s existing condition (to be completed prior

to starting construction. (j) Anticipated cash flow projections, if requested by the engineer..

8.08 Progress Meeting - The Contractor, and Subcontractors if requested by the City, shall

attend weekly progress meetings to be scheduled by the Engineer at a time agreeable to both the Engineer and the Contractor.

8.09 Hours of Construction - Construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 7:30 a.m.

to 4:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted or further restricted in the Contract Documents, or as directed by the Engineer. No work shall be done on weekends, holidays or outside these specified hours, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall take into consideration and coordinate time constraints for special events or activities organized by the City or other agencies. No mechanical


equipment, including hauling or deliveries by trucks, shall start before 7:30 a.m. and all equipment must shut down before 4:30 p.m. unless approved by the Engineer.

8.10 Prosecution of Work - To minimize public inconvenience and possible hazards and to restore the streets and other work areas to their original condition and former state of usefulness as soon as practicable, the Contractor shall diligently prosecute the work to completion. If, in the Engineer’s opinion the Contractor fails to prosecute the work to the extent that the above purposes are not being accomplished, the Contractor shall, upon orders from the Engineer, immediately take the steps necessary to fully accomplish said purposes. All costs for prosecuting the work as described herein shall be absorbed in the Contractor’s bid. Should the Contractor fail to take the necessary steps to fully accomplish said purposes, after orders of the Engineer to do so, the Engineer may suspend the work in whole or in part, until the Contractor takes said steps. With or without such suspension, the Engineer may cause such steps to be taken by force account or by other means at the Contractors expense.

8.11 Suspension of Work - Work may be stopped or suspended in whole or in part for up to

ninety (90) days when, in the Engineer’s opinion, the suspension is necessary and in the interest of the City. The Contractor shall immediately comply with any written order of the Engineer suspending work. Such City directed suspension shall be without liability to the Contractor on the part of the City. Suspended work shall be resumed upon written order of the Engineer. An extension of contract time equal to the period of suspension shall be issued to the Contractor by change order. Any claim by the Contractor for an adjustment of the contract sum or the contract time shall be made within ten (10) working days after the end of the work suspension.

If work is suspended through no fault of the City, all expenses and losses incurred by the

Contractor during such suspensions shall be borne by the Contractor. If the Contractor fails to properly provide for public safety, traffic, and protection of the work during periods of suspension, the City may elect to do so, and shall deduct the cost thereof from monies due the Contractor. Such action will not relieve the Contractor from any liability.

8.12 Default by the Contractor and Termination of Control - As a result of any of the

following events, the Contractor shall be deemed to be in default:

(a) If the Contractor is in bankruptcy or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or

(b) If the Contractor fails to make prompt payment to subcontractors for labor or materials, or

(c) If a receiver is appointed on account of the Contractor’s insolvency, or (d) If the Contractor fails to provide enough properly skilled workmen or enough

materials to insure compliance with the construction time schedule, or (e) If the Contractor fails to perform any portion of the work within the timing

requirements of the Contract Documents, or abandons the project site, or (f) If the Contractor disregards instructions from the Engineer or violates any provision

of the contract, or (g) If the Contractor fails to replace or repair any damage caused by the Contractor or its

agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, or employees in connection with the performance of the work, or

(h) If the Contractor violates any legal requirement related to the work. In case of default, the City may give written notice to the Contractor and the Contractor’s

bonding agent that if the default is not remedied within ten (10) calendar days or the Contractor does not


provide adequate written assurance to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the cure will be forthcoming, the Contractor’s control over the work may be terminated as of the date specified in the written notice.

Upon such termination of control the City may enter upon and take possession of the entire work

and may also take possession, for the purpose of completing the work, of all of the Contractor’s tools, equipment and appliances upon the work, and all materials on the site or stored off-site for incorporation into the work. The City may, at its sole option and without further notice to anyone, complete the work by day labor, by contract entered into by negotiations, by competitive bidding, by calling upon the performance of the performance bond surety, or by other means as the City, in its discretion, shall elect.

After termination of the Contractor’s control over the work as herein provided, the Contractor

shall not be entitled to any further payments under the contract until the entire work thereunder has been fully completed and finally accepted by the City. After such completion and acceptance, if the “unpaid balance of the contract price” (as defined in the next paragraph) exceeds the sum of the amounts expended by the City in taking over and completing the work, including all managerial and administrative expense incurred by the City on account thereof and the amount of all damages incurred by the City by reason of the Contractor’s default, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If the said amount expended exceeds the unpaid balance, the Contractor and his surety shall be liable to the City for the difference. At the Contractor’s request, the expense incurred by the City in taking over and completing the work, and the amount of any damage incurred by the City by reason of the Contractor’s default shall be audited and certified by an independent third party, whose certificate thereof shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties.

For the purposes of the computations required by the paragraph above, the “unpaid balance of

the contract price” shall be the original contract price as adjusted by any change orders issued prior to termination of the Contractor’s control, less all payments made on account thereof prior to such termination, and less any and all amounts withheld or paid pursuant to stop notices filed with the City upon claims of subcontractors or others from equipment, labor or materials furnished to the work on behalf of the Contractor.

Upon completion and acceptance of the work, the Contractor shall be entitled to the return of all

materials not used in the work, but without claim against the City for loss or damage with respect thereto, and shall be entitled to the return of all his equipment, tools and appliances taken possession of by the City, but without claim against the City for any charge for the use thereof or for usual and ordinary depreciation and wear and tear.

The exercise of remedies provided for in this sub-section, for default by the Contractor, shall be in

addition to, and shall not be deemed a waiver by the City of any other rights or remedies due the City under the contract provisions, for default by the Contractor.

8.13 Contractor’s Right to Stop Work or Terminate Contract – As a result of any of the

following defaults, the Contractor may give written notice to the Engineer of intention to stop work or terminate the Agreement, or both.

(a) If the work should be stopped by order of any court or other public authority,

through no act, omission or fault of the Contractor or any Subcontractor, agent or employee of the Contractor, and such work stoppage under such order shall continue for thirty (30) consecutive days from the effective date of such order, or


(b) If the Engineer should fail or refuse, except on account of any act or omission of the Contractor, to issue any certificate for payment, less deductions or withholdings, within thirty days after it is due.

If, after the Contractor provides notice to the City of any of the above defaults, the City does not

remedy the default within ten (10) calendar days, the Contractor may stop work and may give the City written notice of contract termination. The Contractor may then recover from the City payment for all work executed to date and any loss sustained upon any equipment or materials procured for the work prior to the work stoppage. No compensation for loss of anticipated profits will be provided, however, on work not completed. The Contractor’s right to recovery shall be subject, however, to the duty of the Contractor to mitigate all loss or damage so far as reasonably possible.

8.14 City’s Right to Terminate Contract – The City may, at its option, terminate the

Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, at any time by giving notice to the Contractor. Upon such termination, the Contractor agrees to waive any claims for damages, including loss of anticipated profits, on account thereof; and, as the sole right and remedy of the Contractor, the City shall pay the Contractor in accordance with this sub-section. Upon termination, the obligations of the Contractor for portions of the work already performed shall continue.

(a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Termination, the Contractor shall, unless the notice

directs otherwise, do the following:

1. Immediately discontinue the work to the extent specified in the notice. 2. Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, equipment, services, or

facilities, except as may be necessary to complete such portion of the work that are not to be discontinued.

3. Promptly cancel, on the most favorable terms reasonably possible, all

subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the performance of the discontinued portion of the work.

4. Thereafter do only such work as may be necessary to preserve and protect the

work already in progress and to protect materials, plants, and equipment on the project site or in transit thereto. (b) Upon such termination, the City shall pay to the Contractor as a sole and

exclusive remedy for the termination, the sum of the following, and the Contractor will be entitled to no other compensation or damages, and expressly waives same:

1. The amount of the contract amount allocated to the portion of the work

properly performed by the Contractor as of the date of termination, less sums previously paid to the Contractor, plus

2. Previously unpaid costs of any items delivered to the project site which were

fabricated for subsequent incorporation in the work, plus 3. Any proven losses with respect to materials and equipment directly resulting

from such termination, plus


4. Reasonable demobilization costs in excess of what would have been incurred if work were not terminated, plus

5. Reasonable costs for preparing a statement of the aforesaid costs, expenses,

and losses in connection with such termination.

The City may terminate the Agreement at its own discretion or when conditions encountered during the work make it impossible or impracticable to proceed, or when the City is prevented from proceeding with the Agreement by act of God, by law, or by official action of a public authority.

8.15 Time of Completion and Days Charged - The Contractor shall diligently prosecute and

fully complete the work within the number of calendar or working days set forth in the Notice to Bidders or shall be subject to liquidated damages. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under the Contract Documents, and all timing requirements shall be strictly adhered to unless otherwise modified by the City. See General Provisions, Sections 8.10, “Prosecution of Work”, and 8.16, “Liquidated Damages”.

Under a calendar day contract, City observed holidays and inclement weather delays are to be

anticipated and unless there is a deviation from what is customary for the time of year the project is under construction, no additional days will be granted. Every day, including holidays, Saturdays and Sundays shall be counted as a day charged under a calendar day contract.

Under a working day contract, the Contractor will be given credit for City observed holidays and

inclement weather delays, in accordance with the State Standard Specifications. Should the Contractor prepare to begin work at the regular starting time in the morning of any day on which inclement weather, or the conditions resulting from the weather prevents the work from beginning at the usual starting time and the crew is dismissed as a result thereof and the Contractor does not proceed with at least 75 percent of the normal labor and equipment force engaged in the current controlling operations for at least 60 percent of the total daily time being currently spent on the controlling operations, the Contractor will not be charged for a working day whether or not conditions should change thereafter.

8.16 Liquidated Damages - The City and the Contractor, by execution of the agreement, each

agree that time is of the essence in the performance of the work, and that actual damages for inconvenience and loss from any delay in completion of the contract beyond the date provided in the Notice to Bidders is extremely difficult or impossible to determine.

The City and the Contractor further agree, as specified in the Notice to Bidders, that liquidated

damages shall be assessed for each and every calendar day required to complete the contract in excess of the contract time established for the project, and that the amount stated therein is a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages. The Engineer may deduct any liquidated damaged owed to the City, as determined by the Engineer from any payments otherwise payable to the Contractor under this agreement.

Separate from the above-mentioned liquidated damages, the Contractor shall be responsible for

paying all damages incurred by private businesses (residential, commercial or industrial), schools and hospitals due to non-completion of the project by the date specified.

Nothing contained herein shall limit the City’s rights or remedies against Contractor for any

default other than failure to complete the work within the contract time. This provision for liquidated damages shall not be applicable nor act as a limitation upon the City if the Contractor abandons the work. In such event, the Contractor shall be liable to the City for all losses incurred.


The date of the Engineer’s Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be the termination date, if

applicable, of liquidated damages. 8.17 Delays and Extensions of Time

(a) Excusable Delays - shall mean delays in the prosecution or completion of the work

which result from causes beyond the control of the Contractor and City and which could not have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor, suppliers, or any tier of the Contractor’s subcontractors. Excusable Delays fall into the following categories:

1. Abnormal Delays – Excusable Delays caused by acts of god, fire, unusual

storms, floods, tidal waves, earthquakes, strikes, labor disputes, freight embargoes, and shortages of materials insofar as they prevent the Contractor from proceeding with at least seventy-five (75) percent of the normal labor and equipment force for at least five (5) hours per day toward completion of the current critical path activity.

2. Weather Delays – Excusable Delays due to inclement weather conditions or

the conditions resulting from weather prevent the Contractor from proceeding with seventy-five (75) percent of the normal labor and equipment force engaged in the current critical activity item for a period of at least five (5) hours per day toward completion of the current critical path activity.

3. Material Shortage Delays – Excusable Delays due to shortages of material,

provided that the Contractor submits satisfactory proof to the Engineer. For the proof to be satisfactory, the Contractor must demonstrate that he has made every effort to obtain the materials from all known sources within reasonable reach of the proposed work. Only the physical shortage of material, caused by unusual circumstances, will be considered under these provisions as an excusable delay, and no consideration will be given to any claim that material could not be obtained at a reasonable, practical, or economical price, unless it is shown to the satisfaction of the Engineer that such material was only available at exorbitant prices. A material shortage delay will not be considered for material ordered or delivered late or for material whose availability is affected by virtue of mishandled procurement. The above provisions shall apply equally to equipment to be installed in the work.

(b) Compensable Delays - shall include delays that occur in the prosecution or completion

of the work, through no fault of the Contractor which prevent the Contractor from proceeding with at least seventy-five (75) percent of the normal labor and equipment force for at least five (5) hours per day toward completion of the current critical activity item(s) on the latest favorably reviewed progress schedule due to the following causes:

1. Delays due solely to the actions and/or inactions of the City. 2. Delays due to changed conditions as defined in General Provisions, Section

5.05, “Inconsistencies, Changed Conditions and Requests for Information”. 3. Delays due to other Contractors employed by the City who interfere with the

Contractor's prosecution of the work as defined above.


(c) Inexcusable Delay - means any delay in the completion of the work beyond the expiration of the contract time resulting from causes other than Excusable Delays or Compensable Delays. An Inexcusable Delay shall not entitle the Contractor to an extension of the contract time or an adjustment of the contract sum. In addition to liquidated damages for inexcusable delays, the Contractor agrees to pay the City’s actual costs, including charges for engineering, inspection and administration incurred during the delay.

(d) Concurrent Delays - those periods of delay when the prosecution of the work is

delayed during the same period of time due to causes from a combination of the delays defined as Excusable, Compensable or Inexcusable.

If the Contractor desires an extension of time, he shall file a written request based upon the

delays reported. The Engineer will ascertain the facts, the extent of the delays, and the effect upon the entire project, and the City will grant an extension of time equivalent to verified time lost. The request for an extension of time must be made no later than ten (10) working days after the start of the condition that purportedly caused the delay, and no later than fifteen (15) working days after the date on which performance on the condition purportedly causing the delay has ended.

Contractor may make a delay claim for an extension of the contract time for an Excusable Delay

or a Compensable Delay. If an Excusable Delay and a Compensable Delay occur concurrently, the maximum extension of the contract time shall be the number of calendar days from the commencement of the first delay to the cessation of the delay which ends last. 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 calendar days, if any, by which the Excusable Delay or the Compensable Delay exceeds the Inexcusable Delay.

For a Compensable Delay, the Contractor may make a delay claim for an adjustment in the

contract sum in an amount equal to the sum of the actual and unavoidable additional costs of labor, material, and equipment furnished at the site by the Contractor or subcontractors, including wages, salaries, fringe benefits and payroll taxes.

Extensions of time, when granted, will be based upon the effect of delays to the project as a whole

and will not be granted for non-controlling delays to minor portions of the work unless it can be shown that such delays did, in fact, delay the progress of the project as a whole. For purposes of determining delays, all float associated with the project schedule shall belong to the project. See General Provisions, Section 8.04, “Construction Schedule”.

If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of either the Contractor or the City,

such delays will entitle the Contractor to an extension of time as provided herein, but the Contractor shall not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to these delays. War, governmental regulations, labor disputes, strikes, fires, floods, adverse weather necessitating cessation of work, other similar action of the elements, inability to obtain materials, equipment, or labor because of Federal Government restrictions arising out of National Defense, required extra work, action or inaction by the City, or other specific reasons as may be further described in the specifications may constitute such a delay. If delays beyond the Contractor’s control are caused by reasons other than those mentioned above, but are substantially equal in gravity to those enumerated, an extension of time may be granted, if deemed by the Engineer to be in the best interests of the City.

The Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time if delayed due to a failure of the City to

furnish necessary right-of-way or materials which the City agreed to furnish, or by the City’s failure to supply necessary plans or instructions concerning the work, after written request by the Contractor.


For Compensable Delay periods resulting in indirect overhead expenses, the Contractor shall be

reimbursed as provided for in General Provisions, Section 5, “Changes in Work”. 8.18 Substantial Completion – When work in accordance with the Contract Documents has

progressed to a stage of one-hundred percent (100%) complete, as determined by the Engineer, except for the completion of minor punch list items of deficiencies or omissions in the work which require correction in order to satisfy the agreement, yet do not impair the City’s ability to occupy and fully utilize the work for its intended purpose, the project shall be deemed “Substantially Complete”. Portions of the work may also be designated by the City as substantially complete if the Contract Documents require separate delivery.

When the Contractor gives notice to the Engineer that the work is substantially complete, unless

the Engineer determines that the work or designated portion thereof is not sufficiently complete to warrant an inspection, the Engineer will inspect the work to determine if it is substantially complete and will prepare a comprehensive punch list of items to be completed or corrected before final acceptance. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to correct items on the punch list. Failure to include an item on the punch list does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all the work in accordance with the Contract Documents. If subsequent inspections by the Engineer disclose additional items needing correction, whether or not included on the initial punch list or not, those items must also be completed. See General Provisions, Section 8.20, “Final Acceptance”.

When the Engineer determines that the work or such designated portions of the work are

substantially complete, the Engineer will prepare and sign a Certificate of Substantial Completion. The date of substantial completion shall establish the date of occupancy by the City and the transfer of responsibility from the Contractor to the City for such items as security, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and damage to the work from causes other than that of the Contractor. Unless otherwise indicated in the Certificate of Substantial Completion, the Contractor’s guarantee for the work shall commence upon the date of substantial completion. See General Provisions, Section 11.01, “Contractor’s Guarantee”.

8.19 Final Completion - After the Contractor has received the Certificate of Substantial

Completion along with the punch list, and the Contractor has completed the work on the punch list, the Contractor may make a written request for final inspection, upon submitting the following documentation:

(a) Copy of the previous list of items to be completed or corrected, indicating that each

has been completed or otherwise resolved for acceptance. (b) Concurrence with the Engineer on the totals of all quantities, costs, contract change

orders and the final contract sum. (c) Written guarantee and warranty bond for 10% of the final contract sum, effective as

of the date of substantial completion. (d) Description and cost of any unsettled claims. (e) Any other data required by the Contract Documents.


Final Completion shall occur when the Engineer determines that the work is fully completed and in accordance with the Contract Documents. After final completion has occurred, the City will recommend final acceptance to the City Council.

8.20 Final Acceptance – Final acceptance by the City Council will be made promptly after the

work has been fully completed, final inspection made, and the final Certificate of Substantial Completion issued by the Engineer. In judging the work, no allowances for deviations from the Specifications will be made, unless already approved in writing at the times and in the manner provided for in the Contract Documents.

Should it become necessary, due to developed conditions, for the City to occupy any portion of

the work, or any part of any structure or equipment, before the contract is completed or accepted, such occupancy shall not constitute an acceptance of any part of the work, unless so stated in writing by the City.

8.21 Risk of Loss - The Contractor shall be responsible for the charge and care of the project

and shall bear all risks of injury or damage to the work, materials or equipment delivered to the site, by any means including fire, earthquake, wind, storm or other action of the elements, vandalism, or loss by theft, from the date of commencement of construction to the date of formal acceptance by the City Council. The Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore and make good all injuries or damage to any portion of the work, and shall bear the entire expense thereof, except such injuries or damages that are caused by riot, insurrection, acts of the Federal or State Government, or a public enemy in time of war.

8.22 Use of Improvements During Construction - The City reserves the right to take over and

utilize all or part of any completed facility or appurtenance. Such action by the City will not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for injury or damage to said completed portions of the improvement resulting from use by public traffic, from the action of the elements or from any other cause attributable to the Contractor’s operations or negligence. The Contractor will be required to restore such portions of the improvement before final acceptance. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving the Contractor from full responsibility for correcting defective work or materials.


SECTION 9 —RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CONTRACTOR

9.01 Contractor’s Responsibility for the Work - The Contractor shall supervise, coordinate, and direct the work using Contractor’s best skill and attention. Contractor shall have control over and be solely responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures, and the coordination of all portions of the work in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents.

The Contractor shall be responsible for assuring that all portions of the work, including those portions already performed under the Contract, conform to the requirements of the Contract Document and are ready to receive subsequent work.

The Contractor shall furnish and maintain in good condition all equipment and facilities as

required for the proper execution and inspection of the work. Such equipment and facilities shall meet all requirements of applicable ordinances and laws.

9.02 Contractor’s Responsibility for Subcontracted Work - The City will deal directly with,

and make all payments to the Contractor only. The Contractor shall be responsible for the coordination of all trades, subcontractors, and suppliers engaged upon the work. Neither the City nor the Engineer will undertake to settle any differences between the Contractor and his subcontractors.

All persons engaged in the work, including subcontractors, will be considered as employees of

the Contractor. The Contractor will be held responsible for their work and shall be responsible to the City for acts and omissions including those by their respective agents and employees.

When subcontracted work is not prosecuted in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer, the

Contractor shall be notified to take corrective action within a specified time. If timely correction is not made, then upon receipt by the Contractor of written instructions from the Engineer, the Subcontractor shall be removed immediately from the work and shall not be reemployed.

9.03 Superintendent - The Contractor shall employ, and provide a written letter designating a

superintendent or representative who shall be present on the job site whenever work is in progress to coordinate all work with the City and neighboring property owners. A backup representative may also be provided. A joint venture shall designate only one Superintendent.

Directions and information given to the Superintendent shall be considered as having the same

effect as if delivered to the Contractor and the Superintendent shall have complete authority to act on behalf of the Contractor.

City approval of the Superintendent is required prior to starting work. The City reserves the right

to request an appropriately qualified replacement of the Superintendent any time during construction of the project. Contractor shall provide the Engineer with the Superintendent’s telephone number, along with an after-hours emergency contact number of a responsible person who shall correct hazardous situations, should they occur, during times other than the normal working hours.

9.04 Character of Workers - Contractor shall provide competent, fully qualified personnel to

perform the work and shall at all times maintain good discipline and order among its employees and Subcontractors. Any employed person or Subcontractor who is found to be incompetent, intemperate, troublesome, disorderly or otherwise objectionable or who fails or refuses to perform his work properly and acceptably, shall be immediately removed from the work by the Contractor and shall not be reemployed.


9.05 Laws to be Observed - The Contractor shall keep himself fully informed of, and at all times observe and comply with, all Federal, State and County laws, all municipal ordinances and regulations of the City of Tracy, and all orders and decrees of bodies having jurisdiction over the work.

(a) Non-Discrimination – Attention is directed to Labor Code, Section 1735 which reads as

follows: “No discrimination shall be made in the employment of persons upon public work because of the race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition, marital status or sex of such persons, except as provided in Government Code, Section 12940 and every Contractor for public works violating this Section is subject to all the penalties imposed for a violation of this chapter.”

(b) Alien Labor - The Contractor shall forfeit as penalty to the City of Tracy fifty dollars

($50.00) for each alien with no permit to work in the USA knowingly employed in the contract, by him or by any Subcontractor under him upon any of the work herein mentioned, for each calendar day, or portion thereof, during which such alien is permitted or required to labor in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code and in particular Sections 1850 to 1854 thereof, inclusive.

(c) Hours of Labor – Pursuant to Labor Code, Sections 1810, eight (8) hours labor shall

constitute a legal day’s work and as such, the Contractor shall not permit any worker to labor more than eight (8) hours during any one (1) calendar day or more than forty (40) hours during any one (1) calendar week, except as permitted by law and in such cases only upon such conditions as are provided by law. Pursuant to Labor Code, Sections 1813, Contractor shall forfeit to the City, as a penalty, twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each worker employed in the execution of this Agreement by Contractor, or any Subcontractor, for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one (1) calendar day or more than forty (40) hours in any one (1) calendar week in violation of the terms of this Section or in violation of the provision of any law of the State of California. Such forfeiture amounts may be deducted from the contract sum. Contractor and each Subcontractor shall keep, or cause to be kept, an accurate record showing the actual hours worked each calendar day and each calendar week by each worker employed on the project, which record shall be kept open at all reasonable hours to the inspection of the City, its officers and agents, and to the inspection of the appropriate enforcement agency of the State of California.

(d) Prevailing Wage – As identified in the Notice to Bidders, the work contemplated by

this agreement is a public work subject to prevailing wages under California Labor Code, Sections 1720 et. seq. The State of California Department of Industrial Relations has ascertained the general prevailing per diem wage rates in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft, classification, or type of worker required to perform the work. A schedule of the most recent general prevailing per diem wage rates made available to the City will be on file at the City’s principal facility office and will be made available to any interested party upon request. This prevailing wage rate schedule is provided by the City for Bidder’s information only and is not guaranteed by the City to be current. Contractor is obligated to verify all appropriate prevailing wage rates and pay those rates as required. By this reference the verified current schedule of prevailing wage rates is made part of the Contract Documents. Contractor shall pay not less than the prevailing per diem wage rates, as specified in the schedule and any amendments thereto, to all workers employed by Contractor in the execution of the work. Contractor shall cause all subcontracts to include the provision that all Subcontractors shall pay not less than the specified prevailing per diem wage rates to all workers employed by such Subcontractors in the execution of the work.


Contractor shall forfeit to the City, as a penalty, no more that fifty dollars ($50.00) for each calendar day or portion thereof for each worker that is paid less than the specified prevailing per diem wage rates for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any portion of the work done by Contractor or any Subcontractor in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code, and in particular Sections 1770 to 1781 thereof, inclusive. Such forfeiture amounts may be deducted from the contract sum. Contractor shall also pay to any worker who was paid less than the specified prevailing per diem wage rate for the work or craft for which the worker was employed for any portion of the work, for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which the worker was paid less than the specified prevailing per diem wage rate, an amount equal to the difference between the specified prevailing per diem wage rate and the amount which was paid to the worker.

The City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the

payment by the Contractor for any wage rate in excess of prevailing wage rates set forth in the Agreement, including payment in excess of the prevailing wage for extra work paid by force account. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining the Contractor’s bid and will not, under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City under the Agreement.

(e) Payroll Records - Pursuant to Labor Code, Sections 1776, Contractor and all

Subcontractors shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, job 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 in connection with the work. All payroll records shall be certified as being true and correct by Contractor or Subcontractors keeping such records; and the payroll records shall be made available weekly and provided for inspection upon request by the City, the State of California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, or the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the State of California Division of Industrial Relations.

(f) Apprentice Program - Attention is directed to State of California Labor Code, Sections

1777.5, 1777.6, and 1777.7 and Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 200, and the applicable Sections that follow. Responsibility for compliance with these requirements lies with the Contractor. To ensure compliance and complete understanding of the law requiring apprentices, and specifically the required ratio thereunder, Contractor or Subcontractors should, where some question exists, contact the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, 525 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, or one of its branch offices prior to commencement of the work. In the event Contractor willfully fails to comply with this Section, it will be considered in violation of the requirements of the Contract.

Nothing contained herein shall be considered or interpreted as prohibiting or preventing

the hiring by Contractor or Subcontractors of journeyworker trainees who may receive on-the-job training to enable them to achieve journeyworker status in any craft or trade under standards other than those set forth for apprentices.

9.06 Permits and Fees – Unless otherwise stated in the Special Provisions, the Contractor shall

procure all permits and licenses, including a City business license, pay all charges and fees, and give all notices necessary for lawful prosecution of the work. All permits, licenses, and other authorizations shall be secured in sufficient time to prevent delays to the work. The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of said permits, licenses and other authorizations.


For City Capital Improvement Construction Projects, the Contractor shall obtain a “No Fee” encroachment and/or building permit from the Development and Engineering Services (DES) Department. Contractor shall coordinate through the Engineer to insure that all appropriate construction inspections occur. 9.07 Coordination and Cooperation - Construction work by utility companies or other Contractors may be needed or may be occurring simultaneously within or adjacent to the limits of work for this project. The Contractor shall coordinate and cooperate with all other Contractors and utility companies throughout the duration of this project to avoid delays and minimize interference and conflicts. Cooperation will be required in the arrangement for the storage of materials, and in the detailed execution of the work. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain the nature of work by others, coordinate his work, and install, modify, and maintain traffic control as necessary to avoid interferences and delays on the construction activities. Failure of the Contractor to keep informed of the work progressing on the site and failure to give written notice of lack of progress or defective workmanship by others shall be construed as acceptance by the Contractor of the status of the work as being satisfactory for proper coordination with his own work.

Where work of one trade joins or is on the other’s work, there shall be no lack of continuity or

discrepancy when work is completed. In conforming one kind of work with another, marring or damaging other work will not be permitted. Should improper work of any trade be covered by another which results in damage or defects, the whole work affected shall be made good by the Contractor without expense to the City.

The City reserves the right to perform work or allow others to perform work, as necessary, within

or adjacent to the limits of this project, at any time. If the Contractor or any of his Subcontractors or employees cause loss or damage to any separate Contractor on the work, the Contractor, by agreement or arbitration, if he deems it necessary, will settle any claim for such loss or damage. If such separate Contractor shall sue the City, on account of any loss so sustained, the City shall notify the Contractor, who shall indemnify and save harmless the City against any loss or damage arising therefrom, including the cost and expense of defending any such suit.

The Contractor shall absorb in his bid all costs involved in coordinating his work with others.

The Contractor will not be entitled to additional compensation from the City for damages resulting from such simultaneous, collateral and essential work.

9.08 Use of Premises - The Contractor shall confine construction activities to the project limits;

which shall consist of right-of-way, easements and/or property owned by the City of Tracy. With prior approval of the Engineer, adjacent street right-of-way may also be utilized for day-to-day operations. Unless approved by the Engineer, no storage of materials and equipment will be allowed to remain within the right-of-way during non-working hours, on the weekends, or during holidays.

Each day, after the completion of construction operations, unless otherwise approved by the

Engineer, the project limits shall be secured and made accessible to the public. All excess materials and equipment not protected by approved traffic control devices (such as k-rails) shall be relocated to a staging area or demobilized. Trench spoils shall be off-hauled daily and open excavations shall be protected with steel plates.

Personnel of Contractor and Subcontractors shall not occupy, live upon, or otherwise make use of

the project site during any time that work is not being performed at the project site, except as otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents for issues such as site security.


9.09 Construction Staging and Field Office - If additional space beyond the construction limits is necessary for staging, the Contractor shall, at his own cost and initiative, make special arrangements with neighboring property owner(s) to secure a staging area for a field office and/or material and equipment storage. The staging area must be fenced, with screening, and shall be operated in a manner that minimizes the inconvenience to neighbors.

The Contractor is encouraged to negotiate side agreements with the property owner of such sites

prior to submitting bids. Prior to occupying the staging area, the Contractor will be required to provide to the Engineer a copy of the agreement or temporary construction easement granted by the property owner. A written release from the property owner, holding the City harmless from liability, will also need to be provided. In addition to approval from the property owner, the Contractor may also need to secure a Use Permit from the City’s Planning Division.

9.10 Site Security - Contractor shall be responsible for the care and custody of work and the

site, including all necessary security provisions, on a 24-hour per day basis throughout the entire term of the Agreement. The Contractor shall provide and maintain storage facilities and employ such measures as will preserve the specified quality and fitness of materials to be used in the work.

9.11 Construction Water - Construction water is available at no cost to the Contractor. The

Contractor is responsible for obtaining the required permit from the City and providing an approved water truck, installed with backflow prevention devices, prior to obtaining any construction water from City hydrants.

9.12 Project Site Maintenance

(a) Disposal of Material - Unless otherwise shown on the plans or specified herein, all

excess materials and materials removed from existing improvements shall become the property of, and be disposed by the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with disposing all excess materials in a safe and legal manner. No material shall be placed on private or public property without prior approval from the City and the property owner. The Contractor shall not allow any refuse, excavated material, surplus concrete or mortar, or any associated washings, to be disposed upon paved streets, into manholes or into the City’s storm drain system.

Contractor shall establish a system for daily collection and disposal of waste materials

from construction areas and elsewhere on the site. Contractor shall handle waste materials that are hazardous, dangerous, or unsanitary separately from inert waste by containerizing appropriately. Burning or burying of waste materials on site will not be permitted.

All materials removed from the existing improvements, which in the opinion of the

Engineer have salvage value, shall be delivered to the City Corporation Yard at 520 Tracy Boulevard or at any other site designated by the Engineer within the City, at no additional cost.

(b) Cleanup and Dust Control – Attention is directed to the Tracy Municipal Code,

Chapter 7.24, “Dust and Debris” for requirements in addition to those that follow. At all times during construction, including weekends and holidays, and throughout all

phases of construction, including work suspensions and until final acceptance of the project, the Contractor shall keep the work site clean and free from rubbish, debris, and prevent the formation of an airborne dust nuisance.


Materials and equipment shall be removed from the site as soon as they are no longer necessary. Upon completion of the work and before final inspection, the entire site shall be cleared of equipment, unused materials, and rubbish so as to present a satisfactory clean and neat appearance. All cleanup costs shall be absorbed in the Contractor’s bid.

The Contractor shall abate dust nuisance by cleaning, sweeping, and sprinkling with

water, those excavated areas of dirt or other materials which are prone to causing dust, within both the project site and the storage or staging area. If required or directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall provide an approved water truck of large capacity with spraying capability.

The Contractor shall be required to apply water for dust control immediately during

construction efforts and within one (1) hour after notification by the Engineer that an airborne nuisance exists. If dust control is not adequate in the opinion of the Engineer, the Engineer will have this work done by others and will deduct such cost from the total contract price.

All hauling trucks or other construction vehicles leaving the site shall be cleaned of mud or

dirt clinging to exterior body surfaces or wheel rims before traveling on City streets outside the work limits. All trucks coming to or leaving the site with materials or loose debris shall be loaded in a manner, which will prevent the dropping of materials or debris on City streets. Spillage resulting from hauling operations along or across any public traveled way shall be removed immediately at the Contractor’s expense.

When construction operations cause dirt to be deposited on public streets, the Contractor

shall immediately remove such material. Streets shall be cleaned by street sweeping, rather than flushing, so as to prevent mud from entering the storm drain system.

Excess excavated material shall be removed from the site immediately. Sufficient

material may remain for use as backfill if permitted by the specifications. Forms and form lumber shall be removed from the site as soon as practicable after stripping.

Failure of the Contractor to comply with the Engineer’s cleanup orders may result in an

order to suspend work until the condition is corrected. No additional compensation will be allowed as a result of such suspension.

(c) Air Pollution Control - The Contractor shall not discharge smoke, dust, or any other air

contaminants into the atmosphere in such quantity as will violate the regulations of any legally constituted authority.

(d) Noise Control - The Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to control noise

generated as a result of construction to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Use of an air compressor, jackhammer or other loud, vibrating sound generating device shall be limited to operations between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer.

(e) Vermin Control - At the time of acceptance, structures entirely constructed under the

contract shall be free of rodents, insects, vermin and pests. Necessary extermination work shall be arranged and paid for by the Contractor as part of the contract work within the contract time and shall be performed by a licensed exterminator in accordance with requirements of governing authorities. The Contractor shall be liable for injury to persons or property and responsible for the elimination of offensive odors resulting from extermination operations.


(f) Sanitation - The Contractor shall provide and maintain enclosed toilets for the use of employees engaged in the work. These accommodations shall be maintained in a neat and sanitary condition. They shall also comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations pertaining to the public health and sanitation of dwellings and camps.

(g) Wastewater - Wastewater systems shall not be interrupted. Should the Contractor

disrupt existing sewer facilities, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer, and the Contractor shall establish a plan, subject to the approval of the City, to convey the sewage in closed conduits and disposed of it back into the sanitary sewer system. Sewage shall not be permitted to flow in trenches or be covered by backfill.

(h) Temporary Light, Power and Water - The Contractor shall at his own expense furnish,

install, maintain, and remove all temporary light, power, and water, including piping, wiring, lamps, and other equipment, necessary for the work. The Contractor shall not draw water from any City water source, except to extinguish a fire, without first obtaining a permit from the City.

(i) Storm Water Pollution Control – Storm Water Pollution Control work shall consist of following Best Management Practices (BMP) for storm water pollution prevention, submitting a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in compliance with all NPDES requirements, and constructing those facilities which may be required to provide prevention, control, and abatement of water pollution.

In compliance with State and Federal regulations on construction storm water

management and non-point source pollution control, no pollutants will be allowed to enter the storm drainage system. The Contractor shall be responsible for containing and removing any waste from the Contractor’s construction operations using the appropriate BMP. The Contractor shall be responsible for cleaning catch basins of solid or liquid waste materials originating from the Contractor’s operation before this material migrates further into the storm drain system. Violation of this provision shall cause the City to issue a stop-work notice and take necessary action to require the Contractor to correct and comply with regulations. All costs related to the stop-work action and corrective work to come into compliance shall be fully borne by the Contractor.

All construction efforts shall be conducted in a manner which prevents the release of

hazardous material or hazardous waste into the soil or groundwater, and minimizes the discharge of pollutants into the storm drain system. 9.13 Protection and Preservation of Property - The Contractor shall be responsible for the

protection of public and private property adjacent to the work. Due care shall be exercised to avoid damage to existing roadway improvements and facilities,

adjacent property, roadside trees, lawn and shrubbery not designated for removal, pole lines, fences, signs, survey markers and monuments, buildings and structures, conduits, pipe lines under or above ground, sewer and water laterals, and any other improvements or facilities within or outside the limits of construction. As ordered and approved by the Engineer, the Contractor shall provide and install suitable safeguards to protect such objects from injury or damage. If such objects are injured or damaged by reason of the Contractor’s operations, they shall be replaced or restored, at the Contractor’s expense, to a condition as good as when the Contractor entered upon the work, or as good as required by the Contract Documents.


Existing striping damaged during construction within and adjacent to the project site shall be replaced with thermoplastic. Partially damaged striping (such as what might occur trenching through a pavement legend), shall be replaced in their entirety.

Any survey monuments that are damaged or removed as part of the construction shall be replaced

by the Contractor and a Record of Survey, as required by State law, shall be filed by a licensed Land Surveyor at the Contractor's expense.

The fact that any such improvement or facility is not shown upon the plans shall not relieve the

Contractor of his responsibility under this Section. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain the existence of any underground improvements or facilities indicated on the plans, indicated by locating services, or as evidenced by facilities visible in the field.

9.14 Restoration of Adjacent and Existing Improvements - Contractor shall do all cutting,

fitting, or patching of the work required to make all parts of the work come together properly with existing and adjacent conditions.

Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall repair or replace all existing improvements (e.g.,

curbs, sidewalks, driveways, fences, signs, utilities, street surfaces, structures, etc.) damaged or removed as a result of his operations. Repairs and replacements shall be at least equal to existing improvements, and shall match in terms of condition, finish and dimension.

All traffic signs and street signs within the limit of work necessarily removed during the various

phases of operations shall be temporarily reset by the Contractor at or near the original location upon completion of each phase of construction operations. Prior to removal of all traffic control signs, the Contractor shall take photographs of the site which show the existing location of these signs so that upon completion the photographs will aid in resetting the signs at or near their original location. Traffic control signs and street signs will be replaced upon completion of the work and the cost of removal and replacement will be included in various bid items and no separate payment will be made. Rural type mail boxes shall be maintained by the Contractor in a manner satisfactory to the property owner and postal service, and the Contractor shall relocate the same as soon as possible to a permanent location in accordance with postal regulations and in a location acceptable to the property owner.

Any object to be removed and reused at other locations shall be removed with due care and

delivered or stored at the project’s construction storage area, or if approved by the Engineer, at the Boyd Service Center or any other site designated by the Engineer within the City. Such objects may consist of street light poles, signal mast arms and other objects directed by the Engineer. Items not approved by the Engineer for reuse purposes, and without salvage value, shall become the property of the Contractor, to be disposed of at Contractor expense, in an acceptable manner.

9.15 Archeological Remains - If archeological remains are uncovered during excavation,

earthwork within 100 feet of these materials will be stopped until a professional archeologist (SCA) and/or the Society of Professional Archeology (SOPA) has had an opportunity to evaluate the significance of the find and suggest appropriate mitigation measures.

9.16 Access to Private Property - The Contractor shall schedule and perform operations so as

to minimize disruption of access to private property. Prior to blocking access to any private driveway or parking lot entrance, the Contractor shall notify the resident, business owner or tenant of pending closure and allow residents to remove vehicles. During non-working hours no driveway, house or parking lot shall be denied access to a public roadway.


The Contractor shall coordinate with the adjacent property owners and businesses and maintain vehicle and pedestrian access to their properties at all times. Temporary access ramps, fencing, or other measures shall be provided as needed.

9.17 Public Convenience and Traffic Control – The Contractor shall provide for safe

movement of all vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic through and around the construction operations with as little inconvenience and delay as possible. The Contractor shall have no amount of work under construction other than what he can properly prosecute with due regard to the rights and convenience of the public.

Proper conveyance of vehicular traffic and pedestrians through the work area depends upon

navigating under unexpected situations. The means of clarifying such conditions to the public include the Contractor’s use of signs, flagmen, pavement markings, barricades, lights, cones and delineators. No one standard sequence of signs or control devices will suit all conditions which may result from construction operations. Even for the same work, the conditions may vary from hour to hour, requiring adjustment and revisions of the traffic control in effect. The traffic control requirements specified herein are therefore intended to establish general principles to be observed in the control and regulation of traffic through and around the construction operations anticipated for this project. The requirements set forth in this Section represent the minimum traffic control requirements imposed and the Contractor shall be solely responsible for providing the full extent of traffic control measures that are necessary. Only individuals trained in the principles of implementing traffic control and/or traffic control flagging shall be assigned that responsibility at the work site.

(a) Traffic Control Plan – The Contractor shall submit a Traffic Control Plan to clearly

describe proposed traffic control measures. The plan shall be generally in accordance with the illustrations included in the “Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices” and the “Work Area Traffic Control Handbook”, (Building News Incorporated P.O. Box 3031, Terminal Annex, Los Angeles, CA 90051). The submittal shall consist of scaled drawings for each situation anticipated to be encountered, i.e., intersections, mid-block (each during working and non-working hours), etc. The drawings shall show signs, traffic control devices and flagmen as required.

The Traffic Control Plan shall be directed equally to the regulation and protection of non-

vehicular traffic including pedestrians, bicyclists, joggers, skaters, skateboarders, etc. The Contractor shall provide for the protection and separation of non-vehicular traffic from construction operations at all times. No work involving the implementation of traffic control shall begin until the Engineer has favorably reviewed the traffic control plans. The Contractor may implement a revised Traffic Control Plan only with subsequent review and acceptance by the Engineer.

(b) Traffic Control Devices - Traffic control devices shall be provided in sufficient

quantities and types as required to provide safe and adequate traffic control. During hours of darkness, approved lights and/or flares shall be included, in proper working order, to illuminate signs and hazards and alert approaching traffic. Barricades shall be furnished and maintained along all open trenches in contact with traffic. No work may begin on any day or at any time before traffic control devices have been placed, test driven and, if required, adjusted and revised. All traffic control devices shall be placed in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the Contractor’s favorably reviewed traffic control plans. Locations of devices shall be adjusted to suit the conditions and circumstances of each detour situation. In all cases, signs shall be placed to most effectively convey their messages to approaching traffic.


The Contractor shall maintain all traffic control devices, at proper locations and in proper working order, at all times during construction operations and whenever a hazard resulting from Contractor’s operations exists. The Contractor shall adjust and revise traffic control devices, placement, etc., to suit changing conditions around construction operations. Traffic control devices shall remain in place at all times, as required to alert approaching traffic of upcoming hazards. After hazards have been removed, all traffic control devices shall be removed. Temporary signs shall be removed or their messages covered.

Daily traffic control measures shall continue until cleanup activities have been

satisfactorily completed and all of the Contractor’s equipment has been removed from the traveled way.

(c) Traffic Control Detours - The Contractor shall direct, divert and detour traffic through,

around and adjacent to construction operations in accordance with the traffic control plans specified in the Contract Documents or in accordance with the Contractor’s favorably reviewed traffic control plans.

1. Field Review of Detours - Immediately after traffic control devices have been

placed, the detour shall be test driven by the Engineer and the Contractor’s Superintendent. The test drive shall include approaches to the detour from each possible direction, and traverse the full length of each detour route. The Contractor shall adjust and revise all traffic control devices as determined to be required by the test drive and the test drive shall be repeated, if determined necessary by the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide additional traffic control devices as required to maintain the flow of traffic throughout construction operation.

2. Diverting Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic – Whenever construction operations

obstruct the flow of bicycle and pedestrian traffic or present a hazard to bicycles and pedestrians, the Contractor shall take appropriate action to protect and separate bicycles and pedestrians from the work area. Such action may include placement of barricades between bicycles and pedestrians and the work areas, placement of warning signs, and provisions utilizing personnel as required to protect and maintain access for bicycles and pedestrians as conditions warrant.

3. Diverting Vehicular Traffic - Whenever construction operations obstruct the flow

of vehicular traffic or present a hazard to vehicles operating in the vicinity of construction operations, the Contractor shall take appropriate action to warn, detour and otherwise protect approaching drivers and vehicles.

4. Flagmen - The Contractor shall employ flagmen as required for each specific

detour and at all locations where barricades and warning signs cannot control the movement of traffic. A warning sign shall be placed ahead of the flagman reading: “Flagman Ahead.” The distance between the sign and the flagman should be based on the average traffic speed, allowing approximately 50 feet for each 10 miles per hour. During hours of darkness, flagman stations shall be illuminated such that the flagman will be clearly visible to approaching traffic. Lights for illuminating the flagman station shall receive favorable review by the Engineer. The flagman shall wear a red or orange warning garment when flagging. Flagmen shall be provided with approved red flags or STOP/SLOW hand paddles, and two-way radios for communication. When flagging during hours of darkness, the flagman shall signal with a red light or flare and shall have a belt and suspender harness


outside his garment fitted with reflectors or made from reflectorized cloth, unless the garment is well reflectorized in one of these ways.

5. Notice to Agencies - The Contractor shall notify the Engineer and all agencies

having jurisdiction over the work, in writing, at least ninety-six (96) hours, excluding holidays and weekends, prior to instituting any lane closure or detour. At the end of each workday, the Contractor shall inform the Engineer, Police Department and Fire Departments of the status of all detours, lane restrictions, or road closures. The Contractor shall cooperate and coordinate with the various parties involved in the collection and removal of trash and garbage, the transit providers, the U.S. Postal Service, and others, as necessary, in order to maintain existing schedules and services.

6. Emergency Vehicle Access Through Detours - During all detours and/or street

closures the Contractor shall provide for the movement of emergency vehicles through the work area. It is essential that the Contractor’s work and equipment does not impede emergency access.

7. Night Detours - The Contractor shall not be permitted to maintain any lane

closure or road closure during non-working hours without first obtaining written approval from the Engineer. During non-working hours the Contractor shall restore travel lanes to their original alignment and configuration by means of placing temporary asphalt pavement or bridging with steel plates. The Contractor shall place “ROUGH ROAD” signs conforming to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices at uneven temporary pavement or bridging locations. See General Provisions, Section 9.18 (b), “Trench Safety Requirements”.

8. Temporary Traffic Lanes – Temporary traffic lanes shall be at least 10 feet wide, or

11 feet wide around curves. Provide an additional two (2) feet of clearance from curbs. The length of temporary lanes should be limited to the area under construction and the distance necessary to divert traffic.

(d) Parking Restrictions - The Contractor shall post approved “No Parking” signs at all

locations necessary to establish work areas and detour traffic. Signs shall read: “NO PARKING - CONSTRUCTION TOW-AWAY ZONE,” show the actual day and hours of parking restriction and indicate the telephone number of the City’s Police Department or agency having jurisdiction. Signs shall be placed at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the restriction. The Engineer shall approve the location and duration of no parking limits and verify their placement. “No Parking” signs shall be removed when no work is under construction and must be reposted seventy-two (72) hours before the resumption of construction activities.

For any violation of “No Parking” signs by motorists, the Contractor shall contact and

coordinate directly with the City’s Police Department for removal of vehicles in accordance with the California Vehicle Code. The Contractor shall also coordinate with the Police Department directly for enforcement and towing of parked vehicles.

9.18 Safety - The Contractor shall be solely responsible for initiating, maintaining, and

supervising all safety precautions and programs in connection with the performance of the work. The Contractor’s responsibilities shall specifically provide for the safety of persons involved in the project, other persons who are affected by the performance of the work, the work in place, materials and equipment to be incorporated in the work, the project site, and adjoining property.


Payment for performing all work necessary to provide safety measures shall be included in the bid items for which safety measures are required and no additional compensation will be made.

(a) Safety Orders – The Contractor shall have at the work site, copies or suitable extracts

of: Construction Safety Orders, Tunnel Safety Orders, and General Industry Safety Orders issued by the State Division of Industrial Safety. The Contractor shall comply with provisions of these and all other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations.

(b) Trench Safety Requirement - As required by California Labor Code, Section 6705 and in

addition thereto, for any excavation of any trench or trenches five feet (5’) or more in depth, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for acceptance, 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. Structural calculations prepared, stamped and signed by a Registered Engineer licensed to practice in the State of California shall accompany the plan to verify the structural safety and adequacy of the sheeting, shoring and bracing to be used on the project. No such plan shall allow any shoring, sloping or a protection system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders of the State Division of Occupational Safety and Health.

The maximum length of open trench shall be 200 feet or the distance that pipe can be

installed in a single day. Trenches shall be backfilled and covered with 2 inches of cutback (in paved areas) or bridged with tack-welded steel plates at the end of each workday. Cutback shall be placed around plate edges to provide a smooth transition and to secure against displacement.

As soon as possible under the provisions of these specifications, the Contractor shall

backfill all excavations and restore to usefulness all improvements that existed prior to the start of construction.

(c) Confined Space Entry Program (CSEP) - Entry into permit-required confined spaces as

defined in Section 5157, Title 8, CCR may be required as a part of the work. All manholes, tanks, vaults, pipelines, excavations, or other enclosed or partially enclosed spaces shall be considered permit-required confined spaces until the pre-entry procedures demonstrate otherwise. The Contractor shall be responsible for implementing, administering, and maintaining a confined space entry program (CSEP) in accordance with Sections 5156, 5157, 5158, Title 8, CCR and shall implement such a program prior to performing any work in a permit-required confined space. A copy of the permit shall be available at all times for review by the Contractor and City personnel at the work site.

Prior to starting work, the Contractor shall prepare and submit its comprehensive CSEP

to the Engineer. The CSEP shall address all potential physical and environmental hazards and contain procedures for safe entry into confined spaces, including, but not limited to the following:

Payment for implementing, administering, and providing all equipment and personnel

associated with the CSEP shall be included in the bid items for which the CSEP is required and no additional compensation will be made.

(d) Hazardous Conditions: Contractor’s Responsibility for Precautions - Contractor agrees that

if, during the progress of the work, a hazardous condition is identified which involves a risk of bodily harm to any person or a risk of damage to any property, the Contractor will take such special precautions as shall be necessary to make the progress of the work safe under such condition. Conditions may result from, but are not limited to, the use of specified materials or equipment, the location of the work, the condition of the site, the kind or method of construction, or the manner in which any of the work is required to be done. The Contractor agrees to assume the sole responsibility for determining whether any such hazardous condition exists or will be created during the course of the work.

(e) Use of Explosives – Explosives may be used only when authorized in writing by the

Engineer, or as otherwise stated in the Specifications. Explosives shall be handled, used, and stored in accordance with all applicable regulations. The Engineer’s approval of the use of explosives shall not relieve the Contractor from liability for claims caused by blasting operations.

(f) Special Hazardous Substances and Process – Materials that contain hazardous substances

or mixtures may be required on the work. A Material Safety Data Sheet as described in California Code of Regulations, Section 5194 shall be requested by the Contractor from the manufacturer of any hazardous products used.

Hazardous material usage shall be accomplished with strict adherence to California

Division of Industrial Safety requirements and all manufacturer warnings and application instructions listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet and on the product container label. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer if a specified product cannot be used under safe conditions.

the designation of their particular specialties, may be displayed at the job site on removable signs only if written approval is received from the Engineer. Commercial advertising material shall not be attached to, or painted on the surfaces of, any buildings, fences, canopies, or barricades.

9.21 Antitrust Claims – Attention is directed to Public Contract Code, Section 7103.5 which

provides: “In entering into a public works contract or a subcontract to supply goods, services, or materials pursuant to a public works contract, the Contractor or Subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec 15) or the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, commencing with Section 16700, of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or


materials pursuant to the public works contract or subcontract. The assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the City tenders final payment to the Contractor, without further acknowledgement by the parties.”

9.22 Audit and Examination of Records – The City and entities and agencies designated by

the City, shall have access to, and the right to audit and examine at no additional cost, all of the Contractor’s project related data including but not limited to, books, estimates, records, contracts, bid cost data, Subcontractor and supplier job cost data, change orders, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, vouchers, purchase orders, notes, computations, daily logs, and memoranda relating to the work. Pursuant to Government Code, Section 8546.7, the Contractor shall preserve all such records and will be subject to examination and audit by the State Auditor, at the request of the City, for a period of three (3) years after final payment under the Agreement.


SECTION 10 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 10.01 Measurement of Quantities for Unit Price Work - Materials and items of work which are

to be paid for on the basis of measurement shall be measured in accordance with the methods stipulated in the particular sections of the Contract Documents involved.

Unless otherwise specified, quantities of work shall be determined from measurements or

dimensions in the horizontal planes. Stationing shall be along the street centerline, lengths of sanitary sewers, storm drains and water lines shall be measured as the horizontal distances from center to center of structures, rounded to the nearest foot, and lengths of all return radii and curb data shall be measured along the face of curb.

Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, volumetric quantities shall be the product

of the mean area of vertical or horizontal sections and the intervening horizontal or vertical dimensions. Measurements shall be in accordance with U.S. Standard Measures. A pound is an avoirdupois pound. A ton is 2,000 pounds avoirdupois. The unit of liquid measure is the U.S. gallon.

When payment is to be made on the basis of weight, the weighing shall be done on certified

platform scales or, when approved by the Engineer, on a completely automated weighing and recording system. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with duplicate licensed weighmaster’s certificates showing the actual net weights. The City will accept the certificates as evidence of the weights delivered.

10.02 Bid Items - Should any bid item be eliminated in its entirety, payment will be made to the

Contractor for actual costs incurred, in connection with such eliminated contract work, and for costs incurred prior to the date of the Engineer’s written notification eliminating such work. The actual costs to be paid to the Contractor shall be computed in the same manner as if the work were to be paid on a force account basis. No compensation will be made to the Contractor, in any case, for loss of anticipated profits. Increased or decreased scope involving a change order will be paid as stipulated in the change order.

Payment for lump sum items of work shall be made at the price indicated on the Bid Schedule.

Such payment shall be full compensation for the items of work and all work appurtenant thereto. Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, at the pre-construction conference, a detailed schedule of values or breakdown of the lump sum pay items, to be used as a basis for determining progress payments on lump sum work.

10.03 Bid Quantities - The quantities listed in the Bid Schedule for each bid item do not govern

final payment. Payments to the Contractor will be made only for the actual quantities of contract items constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications. If upon completion of the construction, the actual quantities show either an increase or decrease from the quantities given in the bid schedule, the contract unit prices will still prevail.

Payment will not be made for materials wasted or disposed of in a manner not called for under

the contract. This includes rejected material not unloaded from vehicles, material rejected after it has been placed and material placed outside of the plan lines. Unless otherwise provided, no payment will be made for materials delivered to the site but not incorporated in the work. Such quantities will not be included in the final pay quantities. No compensation will be allowed for the disposal of rejected or excess material.


When the estimated quantity for a specific portion of work is designated on the Bid Schedule as a “Final Pay Quantity”, the estimated quantity specified shall be the final quantity for which payment for such specified portion of the work will be made, regardless of the actual quantity constructed, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the plans are revised by the Engineer. If such dimensions are revised and such revisions result in an increase or decrease in the quantity of such work, the final quantity for payment will be revised by the amount represented by the change. The estimated quantity for any portion of the work designated as a Final Pay Quantity shall be considered as approximate only and no guarantee is made that the quantity, which can be determined by computations, based upon the details and dimensions shown on the plans, will equal the estimated quantity. No allowance will be made in the event that the quantities based upon computations do not equal the estimated quantities. Final pay quantities will be designated on the Bid Schedule with the letter (F) and shall only apply to the corresponding portions of work specifically designated on the plans. Any portion of work not designated as a final pay quantity will be measured and paid for as specified under other provisions of the Contract Documents.

10.04 Progress Payments - The last working day of each month may be designated as the

monthly payment date which will terminate each working month. This date or an alternate date agreed upon by the Engineer and the Contractor shall terminate each working month for the duration of the work.

The Contractor shall, on the date established, prepare and submit a progress estimate to the City

for work accomplished during the previous working month, based on the various contract bid items and the unit bid prices. Invoices shall include amounts previously paid, itemized retention and any deductions or additions authorized by change order. Consultation with the Engineer may be necessary to determine the amount of work accomplished.

Contractor may request partial payment for materials delivered to the site but not yet

incorporated into the work (materials on hand). To receive consideration for payment of materials on hand, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a list of such materials at least five (5) working days prior to submitting the monthly estimate of amount earned for work completed. At the Engineer’s sole discretion, up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the estimated value of materials on hand may be considered for payment, subject to the following:

(a) Only materials which have received favorable review of shop drawings will qualify. (b) Eligible materials must be delivered and properly stored, protected, and maintained in a

manner favorably reviewed by the Engineer, at the job site or at a bonded warehouse. (c) The Contractor's actual net cost for the materials must be supported by paid invoices to

suppliers or other documentation requested by the Engineer. (d) Materials delivered to the site less than thirty (30) days prior to their scheduled

incorporation in the work shall not qualify. (e) Partial payments for materials on hand shall not be deemed to be final payment for the

material nor relieve the Contractor of his obligations under the Contract. (f) Partial payments for materials on hand shall be subject to retention.


From each progress estimate, ten percent (10%) will be deducted and retained by the City, and the remainder of the amount due, less the amount of all previous payment will be paid to the Contractor provided all work invoiced has been completed and approved by the Engineer.

The Contractor may elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of payments due under the

contract from time to time, without retention of any portion of the payment by the City, by depositing securities of a value equivalent to the retention amount with the City in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract Code, Section 22300. Such securities, if deposited by the Contractor, shall be valued by the City’s Finance Director, whose decision on valuation of the securities shall be final.

No application for payment will be reviewed or paid by the City unless proof of insurance,

improvement security, identification of the Superintendent, list of subcontractors and suppliers, Contractor’s construction schedule, submittal schedule, and all required submittals (if any) have all been received by the City, and are up to date.

Upon receipt of a progress payment request, the City shall, within seven (7) days, determine if

the request is proper, and if disputed the City will return the progress payment to the Contractor along with a written document setting forth the progress payment request’s shortcomings. Following receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted progress payment request, the City shall make payment within thirty (30) days.

The Engineer may withhold or nullify, the whole or any part of any payment to such extent as

may be necessary to protect the City from loss on account of any of the following:

(a) Defective or vandalized work not remedied, (b) Damage to the City or another Contractor, (c) Claims filed, or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims, (d) Stop notices, or failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to

subcontractors or laborers or suppliers, (e) A reasonable doubt that the contract can be completed for the balance unpaid, (f) Reasonable evidence that the work will not be completed within the contract time

and that the unpaid balance of the contract sum would not be adequate to cover the City’s liquidated damages assessed in accordance with the Agreement for the anticipated delay,

(g) Failure of Contractor to maintain, update and submit record documents, schedules or other submittals as required by the Contract Documents,

N.T.S.

PROINERT CYLINDER W/ DISCHARGE OUTLET VALVE

THE DISCHARGE OUTLET VALVE IS A PRESSURE-REGULATING VALVE THAT ALLOWS THE AGENT TO BERELEASED FROM THE CYLINDER AT A CONSTANT PRESSURE. THE AGENT IS DISTRIBUTED INTO THEPROTECTED SPACE VIA THE ASSOCIATED PIPING NETWORK AND NOZZLE(S). ACTIVATION OF THE PROINERT-2SYSTEM IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ONE OF TWO METHODS:

- AUTOMATIC OPERATION OF THE VALVE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ELECTRICAL OPERATION OF THE PROINERT-2 UNIVERSAL VALVE OPERATOR (UVO), WHICH IS RECEIVED AS AN ELECTRICAL INPUT FROM A RELEASING CONTROL PANEL.- MANUAL OPERATION OF THE VALVE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY MANUAL OPERATION OF THE UNIVERSAL VALVE OPERATOR (UVO) ON THE PROINERT-2 MASTER CYLINDER.

EACH CYLINDER IS FITTED WITH A PROINERT-2 VALVE ASSEMBLY. THE FIKE PROINERT-2 VALVE ASSEMBLY ISA PRESSURE-REGULATING OUTLET VALVE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AN OUTLET PRESSURE OF 645psi (44.5 BAR)AND A FREE FLOW AREA OF 12mm IN DIAMETER.

EACH VALVE IS EQUIPPED WITH:

- A SAFETY RELIEF DISC THAT WILL RUPTURE IF THE CYLINDER PRESSURE EXCEEDS THE RATING OF THE RUPTURE DISC. THE RUPTURE DISC IS SET TO RELIEVE BELOW THE TEST PRESSURE OF THE CYLINDER.- A PRESSURE GAUGE TO VISUALLY INDICATE THE INTERNAL CYLINDER PRESSURE.- A PNEUMATIC STRIKE PIN THAT ALLOWS THE VALVE TO BE OPERATED BY THE MASTER OR SLAVE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLIES.

WARNING: SHIPPING CAP MUST BE IN PLACE WHEN MOVING, WEIGHING OR TRANSPORTING A FILLED OR EMPTY CYLINDER. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

4.2 PROINERT VALVE CONNECTIONSINSTALL THE DISCHARGE HOSE CHECK VALVE BY THREADING THE 1" NPT (25mm) MALE END INTO THEPIPING OR MANIFOLD IN THE LOCATION(S) SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. CONNECT THE MALE END OF THEDISCHARGE HOSE INTO OTHER END OF THE CHECK VALVE, THEN CONNECT THE FEMALE END W/ SWIVELFITTING OF DISCHARGE HOSE TO THE OUTLET OF THE DISCHARGE VALVE, AND VERIFY THAT THE HOSEDOES NOT HAVE ANY KINKS IN IT. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE WRENCH-TIGHT.

THE FOLLOWING DRAWING DETAILS THE VALVE TO MANIFOLD CONNECTION FOR THE PROINERT SYSTEM.

4.2.1 DISCHARGE PIPING CONNECTIONS

THE DISCHARGE PIPING IS CONNECTED TO THE DISCHARGE VALVES BY A DISCHARGE HOSE AND CHECKVALVE. THE CHECK VALVE UTILIZES 1" NPT PIPE THREADS TO CONNECT TO THE MANIFOLD OR PIPINGNETWORK. THE OTHER END OF THE CHECK VALVE HAS THREADS THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE DISCHARGEHOSE. THE CHECK VALVE WILL STOP THE FLOW FROM THE OTHER CYLINDERS IN THE MANIFOLD IN CASETHE SYSTEM WAS TO DISCHARGE WITH A CYLINDER REMOVED.

NOTE: WHEN REMOVING A CONTAINER FROM A MANIFOLD, NEVER REMOVE THE CHECK VALVE OR THEHOSE FROM THE CHECK VALVE PRIOR TO DISCONNECTING FROM THE VALVE.

4.2.2 DISCHARGE MANIFOLD

MOUNT THE DISCHARGE MANIFOLD TO A SOLID STRUCTURAL MEMBERSUCH AS THE RACKING UPRIGHTS USING PIPE CLAMPS OR U-BOLTS,THE MANIFOLD SHOULD NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THE CYLINDERS. CAREMUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE MANIFOLD IS NOT LOCATED ATA HEIGHT OR LOCATION THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE LENGTHOF THE DISCHARGE BEND(S). APPROXIMATE DISTANCE FROM THECYLINDER VALVE OUTLET AND THE CENTER LINE OF THE MANIFOLDPIPING IS 9" TO 12" (229 TO 305 mm). THE MANIFOLD PIPING SHOULD BESECURED WITH PIPE HANGERS OR BRACKETS TO SUPPORT THEMANIFOLD WHEN THE CYLINDERS ARE REMOVED FOR SERVICE.

IF ACCESSORIES SUCH AS PRESSURE SWITCHES, SAFETY RELIEFDEVICE, ETC. ARE REQUIRED, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MANIFOLDCONFIGURATION INCLUDES THE FITTINGS NECESSARY TO MAKETHOSE CONNECTIONS.

ALL CLOSED PIPE SECTIONS THAT COULD TRAP AGENT SHALL BEPROVIDED WITH A SAFETY RELIEF DEVICE, MANIFOLD SAFETY DISC (P/NIG71-076). THIS SITUATION WILL OCCUR IF SELECTOR VALVES AREINCORPORATED INTO THE SYSTEM'S PIPING NETWORK.

REFER TO THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM FOR THE RECOMMENDEDLOCATION FOR THE MANIFOLD SAFETY DISC (P/N IG71-076).

FOR MULTI ROW RACKING, A SEPARATE MANIFOLD SHALL BE USEDFOR EACH ROW. THESE WILL BE JOINED AT THE ENDS.

4.6 PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR ASSEMBLYPRIOR TO INSERTION OF THE PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR INTO THE VALVE, ENSURE THAT THE ACTUATIONPISTON IS RETRACTED AS SHOWN.

IF INSPECTION OF THE ACTUATOR REVEALS THAT IT HAS BEEN OPERATED AS SHOWN, RESET THEACTUATOR BY DEPRESSING THE LATCHING BALL INTO ITS HOUSING WITH THE AID OF A THIN BLADE, THISWILL RETRACT THE ACTUATION PISTON.

4.6.1 CONNECTION OF PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY TO VALVE

REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE ACTUATION PORT OF THE VALVE WITH THE AID OF THE CAP SCREW ASSHOWN. RETAIN THE PLUG FOR FUTURE USE WHEN THE CYLINDER HAS TO BE RE-FILLED/SERVICED. INSERTTHE ACTUATOR INTO THE VALVE AND SECURE BY INSERTING THE RETAINING CLIP PROVIDED.

1.3.3 PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (P/N: IG71-002)

EACH FIKE PROINERT CYLINDER IS EQUIPPED WITH A LATCHING ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ACTUATES THECYLINDER VALVE.

SPECIFICATIONS:- MINIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE: 320 PSI (22 BAR)- MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE: 2,395 PSI (165 BAR)- OVERALL LENGTH: 18.75" (475mm)

THE ACTUATOR INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE HOSE THAT IS USED TO CONNECT IT TO THE NEXT ACTUATORASSEMBLY ON MULTIPLE CYLINDER SYSTEMS.

1.3.4 DISCHARGE HOSE KIT (P/N: IG71-003)

THE FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE KIT INCLUDES THE FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE (P/N: 02-10721) AND ACHECK VALVE (P/N: IG71-008). THIS KIT PROVIDES THE PARTS REQUIRED TO MAKE THE CONNECTIONBETWEEN THE CYLINDER VALVE OUTLET AND THE DISCHARGE PIPING / MANIFOLD.

1.3.4.1 FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE (P/N: 02-10721)

THE FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE IS 20-1/2" (520mm) IN LENGTH AND IS FITTED WITH A G5/8-ISO 228-1 SWIVELFITTING AT ONE END AND R5/8-ISO7-1 AT THE CHECK VALVE END. ONE END OF THE HOSE IS CONNECTEDTO THE VALVE OUTLET, THE OTHER END TO THE CHECK VALVE. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS THENCONNECTED TO THE DISCHARGE MANIFOLD.

SPECIFICATIONS:- PRESSURE RATING: 5,076 PSI (350 BAR)- THREAD TYPE: G5/8-ISO 228-1 (FEMALE CONNECTOR W/ SWIVEL FITTING)

R5/8-ISO7-1 (MALE CONNECTOR)- OVERALL LENGTH: 20-1/2" (520mm)

1.3.4.2 CHECK VALVE (P/N: IG71-008)

A CHECK VALVE SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR EACH PROINERT CYLINDER. THE CHECK VLAVE SHALL BEINSTALLED BETWEEN THE OUTLET END OF THE DISCHARGE HOSE AND THE DISTRIBUTION MANIFOLDPROVIDING A MEANS OF PREVENTING BACK-FLOW OF AGENT THROUGH AN OPEN DISCHARGE HOSE IN THEEVENT OF AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE DURING INSTALLATION OR WHILE A CYLINDER IS REMOVED FORSERVICE.

EACH CHECK VALVE IS MARKED WITH:- PART NUMBER (IG71-008)- WORKING PRESSURE (WP 5,000 PSI / 345 BAR)- DN15- FLOW DIRECTION- BATCH NUMBER

THE FOLLOWING PHOTO ILLUSTRATES HOW TO CONNECT MULTIPLE CYLINDERS - MULTIPLE ROWS WHEN THEDISTANCE IS MORE THAN THE ACTUATION HOSE LENGTH. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY INSTALLING A G1/4 x G1/4WITH 60° CONE CONNECTOR (P/N: 02-10824) BETWEEN THE TWO ACTUATION HOSES. CONNECTOR MUST BEORDERED SEPARATELY.

4.6.1 CONNECTION OF RELAY ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (P/N: IG71-220) TO VALVE

REMOVE THE PLUG & RETAINING CLIP FROM THE ACTUATION PORT OF THE VALVE WITH THE AID OF THECAP SCREW AS SHOWN. RETAIN THE PLUG FOR FUTURE USE WHEN THE CYLINDER HAS TO BERE-FILLED/SERVICED. INSERT THE ACTUATOR INTO THE VALVE AND SECURE BY RE-INSERTING THERETAINING CLIP PROVIDED.
