2 -3 SUBCONTRACTS
Subsection 2 -3 Subcontractors of Greenbook is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following subsection.
2 -3.1 GENERAL
Except as provided in PCC §§ 4100 et. seq., each bidder will file with its bid the name and
location of the place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or
render service to the prime contractor in or about the construction of the work or
improvement, or a subcontractor licensed by the State of California who, under subcontract
to the prime contractor, specifically fabricates and installs a portion of the work or
improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications, in
an amount in excess of one -half of one percent of the prime contractor's total bid. Only
one subcontractor will be listed for each portion of the work, which portion will be defined
in the bid. In each instance, the nature and extent of the work to be sublet will be described.
The failure of the Contractor to specify a subcontractor, or the listing of more than one
subcontractor for the same portion of the work, constitutes an agreement by the Contractor
that it is fully qualified to perform that portion itself and that it will perform that portion
itself.
The Contractor must have the City Council's written consent to substitute a subcontractor
other than that designated in the original bid, to permit any subcontract to be assigned or
transferred, or to allow a subcontract to be performed by other than the original
subcontractor.
Subcontracting of work for which no subcontractor was designated in the original bid, and
which is more than one -half of one percent of the work, will be allowed only in cases of
public emergency or necessity, and then only after a finding reduced to writing as a public
record of the City Council setting forth the facts constituting the emergency or necessity.
Violation of any of the above provisions will be considered a breach of the Contract, and
the City may terminate the Contractor's control over the Work, cancel the contract, or
assess the Contractor a penalty of not more than ten percent of the subcontract involved.
All persons engaged in the work, including subcontractors and their employees will be
considered as employees of the Contractor. The Contractor will be solely responsible for
and have control over construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures,
and the coordination of all portions of the Work. The City will deal directly with, and make
all payments to, the prime Contractor.
When subcontracted work is not being prosecuted in a satisfactory manner, the Contractor
will be notified to take corrective action. The Engineer may report the facts to the City
Council. If the City Council so orders, and on receipt by the Contractor of written
instructions from the Engineer, the subcontractor will be removed immediately from the
Work. That subcontractor will not again be employed on the Work.
If licensure or proper licensure is controverted, then proof of licensure pursuant to this
section must be made by production of a verified certificate of licensure from the
Contractors' State License Board which establishes that the individual or entity bringing
Page 3 of 31
.0
the action was duly licensed in the proper classification of contractors at all times during
the performance of any act or contract covered by the action. Nothing in this subdivision
requires any person or entity controverting licensure or proper licensure to produce a
verified certificate. When licensure or proper licensure is controverted, the burden of proof
to establish licensure or proper licensure is on the licensee.
2 -3.2 ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Add the following to Subsection 2 -3.2 Additional Responsibility:
The Contractor will submit experience statements for each subcontractor who will perform
contract work that amounts to more than ten percent (10 %) of the Work.
2 -4 CONTRACT BONDS
The following paragraph is added to Subsection 2 -4 of the Greenbook.
The Faithful Performance Bond and the Labor and Materials Bond must be paid and in
effect for one year after the acceptance of the job by the City in accordance with the
guarantee required by Subsection 6 -8.1.

Subsection 2 -5.1 of the Greenbook is replaced by the following subsection.
2 -5.1 GENERAL
The Contractor will maintain the following at the Work site:
1, One as -built copy of the Plans and Specifications, in good order and marked to
record current changes and selections made during construction. As -built plans
must be submitted to the City representative for approval before the City pays a
final retention amount.
2. The current accepted Contract Schedule.
3. Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples.
4, Approved permits from other agencies, including Cal -OSHA permits for trench
shoring.
5. All other required submittals.
The Plans, Specifications, and other Contract Documents will govern the Work.
The Contract Documents are intended to be complementary and cooperative and to
describe and provide for a complete project. Anything in the Specifications and not
on the Plans, or on the Plans and not in the Specifications, will be as though shown
or mentioned in both.
Payment for any items on the plans for which there is no specific bid item will be
Page 4 of 31
51 4 8 w;
included in the various items of work or in any item to which it is appurtenant.
If the Contractor performs any work which it knows or should know involves an
error, inconsistency, or omission without notifying and obtaining written consent
from the Engineer, the Contractor will be responsible for the resulting losses,
including, without limitation, the costs of correcting defective work.
2 -5.2 PRECEDENCE OF CONTRACT CT DOCUMENTS
The following paragraph is added to subsection 2 -5.2 of the Greenbook:
As the figured dimensions shown on the plans and in the specifications of the Contract may
not in every case agree with scaled dimensions, the figured dimensions will be followed in
preference to the scaled dimensions, and plans to a large scale will be followed in
preference to the plans to a small scale. Should it appear that the work to be done, or any
of the matters relative thereto, are not sufficiently detailed or explained in the Contract, the
Contractor will apply to the Engineer for such further explanations as may be necessary,
and will conform thereto as part of the Contract so far as may be consistent with the terms
thereof. Any items shown on drawings and not mentioned in the specifications will be of
like effect as if shown or mentioned in both.
2 -5.5 ACCURACY OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Although it is believed that much of the information pertaining to conditions and existing
utilities that may affect the cost of the Work will be shown on the Plans or indicated in the
Specifications, the City does not warrant the completeness or accuracy of such information.
The Contractor will carefully study and compare each of the Contract Documents with the
others and with information furnished by the City and will promptly report in writing to
the Engineer any errors, inconsistencies, or omissions in the Contract Documents or
inconsistencies with applicable law observed by the Contractor.
The Contractor will take field measurements, verify field conditions, perform soil
investigations, and carefully compare with the Contract Documents such field
measurements, conditions, and other information known to the Contractor before
commencing the Work. Errors, inconsistencies, or omissions discovered at any time will
be promptly reported in writing to the Engineer.

method, may be used to calculate daily damages for office overhead, profit, or other
purported loss.
(b) Work by Subcontractors. When all or any part of the extra work is performed by a
Subcontractor, the markup established in 3- 3.2.3(a) will be applied to the
Subcontractor's actual cost of such work. A markup of 10 percent on the first
$5,000 of the subcontracted portion of the extra work and a markup of 5 percent on
work added in excess of $5,000 of the subcontracted portion of the extra work may
be added by the Contractor.
(c) In the event that City becomes liable to Contractor for compensable delays, City
agrees to pay Contractor the daily Contractor Delay Damages set forth in the Bid
Form or Contractor's actual daily delay damages, whichever is less, for each day
of Compensable Delay as provided for by these Contract Documents.
3 -3.3 DAILY REPORTS BY CONTRACTOR
Add the following paragraph to subsection 3 -3.3, Daily Reports by Contractor:
If disagreement continues regarding extra work, the Contractor may seek compensation in
accordance with the Claims procedure. Daily Reports required by this subsection must be
made part of the Claim as supporting data for the Claim.
3 -4 CHANGED CONDITIONS
Subsection 3 -4, Changed Conditions, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following subsection:
If the Contractor encounters concealed or unknown conditions that differ materially from
those anticipated or expected ( "changed conditions "), the Contractor will immediately
notify the Engineer in writing of such changed conditions (upon discovery and before
disturbing such changed conditions), as provided in Subsection 6 -11, so that the Engineer
can determine if such conditions require design details that differ from those design details
shown in the Contract Documents. Notwithstanding the time period set forth in Subsection
6 -11.3, the Contractor is liable to the City for any extra costs incurred as a result of the
Contractor's failure to promptly give such notice.
Changed conditions include, without limitation, the following.
Subsurface or latent physical conditions differing materially from those represented
in the Contract Documents;
2, Unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature differing materially from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the
character being performed; and

Material differing from what is represented in the Contract which the Contractor
believes may be hazardous waste as defined in California Health & Safety Code §
25117 that is required to be removed to a Class I, II, or III disposal site in
accordance with applicable law.
The Engineer will promptly investigate conditions that appear to be changed conditions.
The Engineer's decision, and any dispute regarding that decision, will be made in
accordance with Section 6 -11 except that the Engineer will render a decision promptly.

subject to the following provisions:
The information is made available for the Bidders' convenience and is not a part of
the Contract.

all such information is made available to Bidders without any representation or
warranty by the City whatsoever as to its accuracy, completeness, or relevancy.
3. Bidders will independently evaluate such information for their use and will be
solely responsible for use or interpretation of such information. Any such use or
interpretation will not be the basis of any claim against the City.
3 -5 DISPUTED WORK
Subsection 3 -5 is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following subsection.
If the Contractor and the City do not reach agreement on disputed work, the City may direct
the Contractor to proceed with the work. Any payment for the disputed work will be
determined pursuant to the claims procedures in these Standard Specifications. Although
not to be construed as proceeding under extra work provisions, the Contractor will keep
and furnish records of disputed work as required by the Contract Documents.

Page 9 of 31
5 -4 RELOCATION
The following subsection is added to Subsection 5 -4 of the Greenbook.
5 -4.1 RESPONSIBILITY OF UTILITY REMOVAL OR RELOCATION
The City will be responsible to arrange for the removal, repair, or relocation of existing

and the cost of longer hauls will be paid for as extra work.
The following subsection is added to Subsection 5 -5 of the Greenbook.
5 -5.1 CALCULATING IDLE TIME
Equipment idle time will calculated in accordance with Subsection 3 -3.2.2 and based upon
the actual normal working time during which the delay condition exists, but in no case will
exceed 8 hours in any one day. The days for which compensation will be paid will be the
calendar days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, during the existence of
the delay.
Worker idle time will be calculated in accordance with Subsection 3- 3.2.2.
6 -1 CONSTRUCTION SCHEl)1r I.I.," AND COMMENCEMENTOF WORK
Section 6 -1, Construction Schedule and Commencement of Work, is deleted in its entirety
and replaced by the following subsections.
lire- CConstruction Mectiful:
After contract award, the City will arrange for a pre- construction meeting to discuss the
construction of the project. City will invite utility agencies and the contractor will arrange
for all of its sub - contractors to attend the meeting.
6 -1.1 CONTRACT SCHEDULE
After notification of award and before starting any work, the Contractor will submit a
Contract Schedule to the Engineer for review, as required by these Specifications within
Page 10 of 31
5148 , ® f
fifteen (15) calendar days of award.
6 -1.2 CONTENT OF CONTRACT SCHEDULE
The Contract Schedule, and any updated Contract Schedule, will meet the following
requirements:
1. Schedules must be suitable for monitoring progress of the Work.
2. Schedules must provide necessary data about the time for the Engineer's decisions.
3. Schedules must be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate adequate planning for the
Work.
4. Schedules must represent a practical plan to complete the Work within the Contract
Time.
5. Schedules must show the critical path method for completing the Work.
The Engineer's review of the form and general content of the Contract Schedule and any
updated Contract Schedules is only for the purpose of determining if the listed requirements
are satisfied, nothing more.
6 -1.3 EFFECT OF CONTRACT SCHEDULE
The Contract Schedule, and any updated Contract Schedules, will represent a practical plan
to complete the Work within the Contract Time. Extension of any schedule beyond the
Contract Time will not be acceptable. Schedules showing the Work completed in less than
the Contract may be acceptable if judged by the Engineer to be practical. Acceptance of
such a schedule by the Engineer will not change the Contract Time. The Contract Time,
not the Contract Schedule, will control in determining liquidated damages payable by the
Contractor and in determining any delay.
If a schedule showing the Work completed in less than the Contract Time is accepted, the
Contractor will not be entitled to extensions of the Contract Time for Excusable Delays or
Compensable Delays or to adjustments of the Contract Sum for Compensable Delays until
such delays extend the completion of the Work beyond the expiration of the Contract Time.
The Contractor will plan, develop, supervise, control, and coordinate the performance of
the Work so that its progress and the sequence and timing of Work activities conform to
the current accepted Contract Schedule. The Contractor will continuously obtain from
Subcontractors information and data about the planning for and progress of the Work and
the delivery of equipment, will coordinate and integrate such information and data into
updated Contract Schedules, and will monitor the progress of the Work and the delivery of
equipment. The Contractor will act as the expeditor of potential and actual delays,
interruptions, hindrances, or disruptions for its own forces and those forces of
Subcontractors. The Contractor will cooperate with the Engineer in developing the
Contract Schedule and updated Contract Schedules.
The Engineer's review and comments about any schedule or scheduling data will not
relieve the Contractor from its sole responsibility to plan for, perform, and complete the
Work within the Contract Time. Review and comments about any schedule will not transfer
responsibility for any schedule to the Engineer or the City nor imply their agreement with
(1) any assumption upon which such schedule is based or (2) any matter underlying or
Page 11 of 31
contained in such schedule.
The Engineer's failure to discover errors or omissions in schedules that have been
reviewed, or to inform the Contractor that the Contractor, Subcontractors, or others are
behind schedule, or to direct or enforce procedures for complying with the Contract
Schedule will not relieve the Contractor from its sole responsibility to perform and
complete the Work within the Contract Time and will not be a cause for an adjustment of
the Contract Time or the Contract Sum.
The Contractor will perform the Work in accordance with the currently accepted Contract
Schedule.
6 -1.4 COMMENCEMENT OF CONTRACT TIME
The Contract Time will commence when the City issues a Notice to Proceed. The Work
will start on the date specified in the Notice to Proceed and within a maximum of fifteen
(15) calendar days after the date of the Notice to Proceed, and be diligently prosecuted to
completion with the time provided in the Specifications.
6 -4 DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR
The language in subsection 6 -4 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following
subsections.
6 -4.1 GENERAL
Should the Contractor fail to begin delivery of material and equipment, to commence the
Work within the time specified, to maintain the rate of delivery of material, to execute the
Work in the manner and at such locations as specified, or fail to maintain the Work
schedule (as determined by the current accepted Contract Schedule) which will ensure the
City's interest, or if the Contractor is not carrying out the intent of the Contract, the City
may serve written notice upon the Contractor and the Surety on its Faithful Performance
Bond demanding satisfactory compliance with the Contract.
6 -4.2 TERMINATION OF CONTRACTOR'S CONTROL OVER THE WORK
The City may terminate the Contractor's control over the Work without liability for
damages when, in the City's opinion, the Contractor is not complying in good faith, has
become insolvent, or has assigned or subcontracted any part of the Work without the City's
consent. Should such termination occur, the Contractor will be paid the actual amount due
based on Contract Unit Prices or lump sums bid and the quantity and quality of the Work
completed at the time of termination, less damages caused to the City by the Contractor's
action or inaction.
In the event of such termination of control, the City may do any one, or combination of,
the following:
Serve written notice upon the Surety on its Faithful Performance Bond demanding
satisfactory compliance with the Contract. In such event the Surety will, within 5
days, assume control and perform the Work as successor to the Contractor;
Page 12 of 31
4
2. The City may perform the Work itself and deduct the cost thereof from any payment
due to the Contractor;
3. The City may replace the Contractor with a different contractor to complete the
work and deduct the cost thereof from any payment due to the Contractor.
Nothing herein will waive, or serve as a limitation upon, any additional remedy the City
may have under these Contract Documents or applicable law.
6 -4.3 i RFAN'S ASSUMPTION OF CO q'TROI
Should the Surety assume any part of the Work, it will take the Contractor's place in all
respects for that part, and will be paid by the City for all work performed by it in accordance
with the Contract. If the Surety assumes the entire Contract, al l money due the Contractor
at the time of its default will be payable to the Surety as the Work progresses, subject to
the terms of the Contract.
If the Surety does not assume control and perform the Work within 5 days after receiving
notice of cancellation, or fails to continue to comply, the City may exclude the Surety from
the premises. The City may then take possession of all material and equipment and
complete the Work by City's forces, by letting the unfinished work to another contractor,
or by a combination of such methods. In any event, the cost of completing the Work will
be charged against the Contractor and its Surety and may be deducted from any money due
or becoming due from the City. If the sums due under the Contract are insufficient for
completion, the Contractor or Surety will pay to the City within 5 days of completion, all
costs in excess of the sums due.
The provisions of this subsection will be in addition to all other rights and remedies
available to the City under applicable law.
6 -6 DELAYS AND E.X. °I "I NSIONS OF TIME
Subsection 6 -6 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following subsections.
6 -6.1 GENERAL
If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of the Contractor, such delays
will entitle the Contractor to an extension of time as provided herein, but the Contractor
will not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to such delays except as
otherwise provided herein. Excusable delay may include: war, earthquakes exceeding 3.5
on the Richter Scale, government regulation, labor disputes outside the contemplation of
the parties, strikes outside the contemplation of the parties, fires, floods, changes to the
Work as identified herein, or other specific events that may be further described in the
Specifications.
Delays to the project caused by labor disputes or strikes involving trades not directly related
to the project, or involving trades not affecting the project as a whole will not warrant an
extension of time.
The City will not grant an extension of time for a delay by the Contractor's inability to
obtain materials unless the Contractor furnishes to the Engineer documentary proof. The
Page 13 of 31
proof must be provided in a timely manner in accordance with the sequence of the
Contractor's operations and accepted construction schedule.
Should delays be caused by events other than those included herein, the Engineer may, but
is not required to, deem an extension of time to be in the City's best interests.
6 -6.2 EXTENSIONS OF TIME
If granted, extensions of time will be based upon the effect of delays to the critical path of
the Work as determined by the current accepted Contract Schedule. Delays to minor
portions of the Work that do not affect the critical path will not be eligible for extensions
of time.
6 -6.3 PAYMENT FOR DELAYS TO CONTRACTOR
Any payment for compensable delay will be based upon actual costs as set forth in
Subsection 5 -5 excluding, without limitation, what damages, if any, the Contractor may
have reasonably avoided. The Contractor understands that this is the sole basis for
recovering delay damages and explicitly waives any right to calculate daily damages for
office overhead, profit, or other purported loss, using different formulas including, without
limitation, the Eichleay Formula.
6 -6.4 WRITTEN NOTICE AND REPORT
If the Contractor desires payment for a delay or an extension of time, it will give the
Engineer written notice of such request not later than the time limit set forth in the Proposal
for submitting a claim after the event or occurrence giving rise to a delay claim. Failure to
submit a written request within such amount of time will result in the Contractor waiving
its delay claim.
Any claim for payment or an extension of time must be in the form required by the
"Claims" sections of these Specifications.
In no event will the City grant the Contractor an extension of time if the delay is within the
Contract Time as identified by the Contract Documents.

Working on Fridays when City Hall is closed is acceptable. If the Contractor, however,
requests an inspection a day when City Hall is closed, then the Contractor will have to
reimburse the City for the costs of inspection. The Contractor must request such an
inspection at least 48 hours in advance. City inspections during hours when City Hall is
closed are subject to inspection overtime fees to be paid for by the Contractor. Friday work
that does not require inspection can be done without an inspection fee and must be
discussed with City staff before its occurrence. If the Contractor does construction on a
Friday or a day when City Hall is closed, that day is counted as a project working day.
On workdays, Contractor's activities will be confined to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m.
Please see Section 6 -7.5 below for weekend and holiday work restrictions.
6 -7.4 NIGHT WORK
The following paragraph is added to Section 6 -7 of the Greenbook:
The City will not permit Work between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 a.m. of the following day
unless specifically provided for in the bid documents or unless the Contractor receives prior
written approval.
6 -7.5 WEEKEND AND HOLIDAY WORK
The Engineer may, but is not required to, allow the Contractor to work on Saturdays,
Sundays and City Holidays.
6 -8 COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
Subsection 6 -8 of the Greenbook is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
The Work will be inspected by the Engineer for acceptance upon the Engineer receiving
the Contractor's written assertion that the Work is complete.
If, in the Engineer's judgment, the Work is complete and is ready for acceptance, the
Engineer will accept the Work on behalf of the City in the manner prescribed by the City.
The Engineer will recommend approval of the Notice of Completion to the City Council.
This will be the date when the Contractor is relieved from responsibility to protect the
Work.
All work will be guaranteed by the Contractor against defective workmanship and
materials furnished by the Contractor for a period of 1 year from the date the Work was
completed. The Contractor will replace or repair any such defective work in a manner
satisfactory to the Engineer, after notice to do so from the Engineer, and within the time
specified in the notice. If the Contractor fails to make such replacement or repairs within
the time specified in the notice, the City may perform this work and the Contractor's
sureties will be liable for the cost thereof.
Page 15 of 31
6 -8.1 GENERAL GUARANTY
The Contractor will remedy any defects in the work and pay for any damage to other work
resulting therefrom, which will appear within a period of one year from the date of final
acceptance of the work unless a longer period is specified. The owner will give notice of
observed defects with reasonable promptness.
6 -9 [L,rQl.11ll!A' Fh DAMAGES
Subsection 6 -9, Liquidated Damages, of the Greenbook is deleted in its entirety and
replaced by the following subsections.
6 -9.1 FAILURE TO COMPLETE WORK ON TIME
If all the work called for under the contract is not completed before or upon the expiration
of the Contract Time, the City will sustain damage. Since it is and will be impracticable to
determine the actual damage which the City will sustain in the event of and by reason of
such delay, it is therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay to the City the sum specified
in the Proposal for each and every calendar day beyond the time prescribed to complete the
work not as a penalty, but as a predetermined liquidated damage. The Contractor agrees to
pay such liquidated damages as are herein provided, and in case the same are not paid,
agrees that the City may deduct the amount thereof from any money due or that may
become due to the Contractor under the contract.
Unless otherwise specified, liquidated damages will be $250 per calendar day.
6 -11 DISPUTES AND CLAll" S1 PR(! HDQ1Z1
6 -11.1 GENERAL
Consistent with PCC § 10240.6, "Claim" means a written demand or assertion by the
Contractor that seeks an adjustment or interpretation of the terms of the Contract

6 -11.3 CLAIMS SUBMITTED' `CI I "NCJINEE .
Within thirty (30) calendar days after the circumstances giving rise to a Claim occur, the
Contractor will submit its Claim to the Engineer for a decision. Regardless of any Claim
submittal, or any dispute regarding a Claim, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, the
Contractor will not cause any delay, cessation, or termination of the Work, but will
diligently proceed with the performing the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. Except as otherwise provided, the City will continue to make payments in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
6 -11.4 CLAIM IS PI I RE lwiISITE TO OTHER REMEDY
The Contractor certifies that it is familiar with PCC § 10240.2 and understands and agrees
that submitting a Claim in accordance with these Specifications is an express condition
precedent to the Contractor's right to otherwise pursue a claim whether through alternative
dispute resolution or by litigation. Should the Contractor fail to submit a claim in
accordance with these Specifications, including the time limits set forth herein, it will
waive any right to a remedy, whether in law or equity, it might otherwise have pursuant to
the Contract Documents or applicable law.
6 -11.5 DECISION ON CLAIMS
The Engineer will promptly review Claims submitted by the Contractor in accordance with
these Specifications. Should the Engineer require additional supporting evidence to
evaluate the claim, the Engineer will request such additional information in writing. Any
such requested data will be furnished not later than ten (10) calendar days after the
Contractor receives the Engineer's request.
The Engineer will render a decision not later than thirty (30) days after either receiving the
Claim or the deadline for furnishing additional supporting data, whichever is later. If the
Page 18 of 31
Claim amount is more than $50,000, the time period will be extended to sixty (60) days.
If the Engineer fails to render a decision within the time period established herein, then the
Claim will be deemed denied. The Engineer's decision will be final and binding unless
appealed in accordance with these Specifications.
The Engineer's decision on a Claim will include a statement substantially as follows:
"This is a decision pursuant to the General Specifications of your contract. If you are
dissatisfied with the decision, and have complied with the procedural requirements for
asserting claims, you may have the right to alternative dispute resolution or litigation.
Should you fail to take appropriate action within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of
this decision, the decision will become final and binding and not subject to further appeal."

If the Contractor disputes the Public Works Director's decision, then the Contractor must
demand alternative dispute resolution in accordance with this Section and the PCC within
thirty (30) calendar days of the City's final decision.
6 -11.7 MEDIATION
If the City and the Contractor agree, disputes between the parties may be submitted to non-
binding mediation. If the parties cannot agree to an alternative form of mediation, then
mediation will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ( "AAA ") under
its Construction Industry Mediation Rules, unless the use of such rules are waived by
mutual stipulation of both parties.
The parties may, but are not required to be, represented by counsel in mediation.
The requirement for mediation will not alter or modify the time limitations otherwise
provided for claims and no conduct or settlement negotiation during mediation will be
considered a waiver of the City's right to assert that claim procedures were not followed.
6 -11.8 ARBITRATION
If the City and Contractor do not agree to mediation, then a disputes will be submitted to
neutral non - binding (except as provided herein) arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted

areas will be retained or controlled on site and will not be permitted to enter the
storm drain system.
Page 25 of 31
(b) Temporary sediment filtering systems such as sandbags, silt fences, or gravel berms
will be utilized to trap sediment so that only filtered water enters the City's storm
drain system. Proper clean up and disposal of settled sediment and the filtering
system will be the responsibility of the Contractor.
(c) Discharge of concrete transit mixer wash water on to approved dirt areas (sub -grade
area designated for new concrete construction for example) is acceptable.

otherwise specified.
7 -10 PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY
The following requirement is added to Section 7 -10:
Unless otherwise specified all traffic control will be performed in accordance with the
Work Area Traffic Control Handbook (WATCH) Latest Edition, published by Building
News.
Page 26 of 31
7 -10.1 TRAFFIC AND ACCESS
A
The Contractor will notify the occupants of all affected properties at least 48 hours before
any temporary obstruction of access. Vehicular access to property line will be maintained
except as required for construction for a reasonable period of time. No overnight closure
of any driveway will be allowed except as permitted by the Engineer.
At least one (1) twelve (12) foot wide traffic lane will be provided for each direction of
travel on all streets at all times except as permitted by the Engineer. The traffic lanes will
be maintained on pavement, and will remain unobstructed. All work requiring that a lane
be closed or a lane moved right or left will be noticed to the traveling public by use of City
approved lighted arrow boards.
Clearances from traffic lanes will be five (5) feet to the edge of any excavation and two (2)
feet to the face of any curb, pole, barricade, delineator, or other vertical obstruction.
One four (4) foot wide paved pedestrian walkway will be maintained in the parkway area
on each side of all streets. The clearance from the pedestrian walkway to any traffic lane
will be five (5) feet. Pedestrians and vehicles will be protected from all excavations,
material storage, and /or obstructions by the placement of an adequate number of lighted
barricades (minimum two (2)) at each location, one (1) at each end of the obstruction or
excavation), which will have flashing lights during darkness. Barricades will be Type I or
Type II per Section 7 -3 of the WATCH Manual and lights will be Type A per Section 7 -6
of the "Work Area Traffic Control Handbook" (WATCH).
7 -10.2 STREET CLOSURES I)1-"1'OIJIM BARRICADES
S
Street closures will not be allowed except as specifically permitted by the Engineer„
The Contractor will prepare any traffic control or detour plans that may be required as
directed by the Engineer. Lane transitions will not be sharper than a taper of thirty (30) to
one (1).
Temporary traffic channelization will be accomplished with barricades or delineators.
Temporary striping will not be allowed unless specifically permitted by the Engineer. The
Contractor will prepare any plans that may be required for temporary striping to the
satisfaction of the Engineer. In no event will temporary striping be allowed on finish
pavement surfaces, which are to remain.
Where access to driveway or street crossings need to be maintained, minimum 1 1/4 inch
thick steel plating will be used to bridge the trench. All steel plating will have temporary
asphalt concrete 1:12 minimum sloped ramps to assist vehicles to cross comfortably over
the plates and have a non -skid surface. Plates subject to vehicle high traffic speeds and in
residential areas will be secured by welding at the discretion of the Engineer.
7 -10.5 PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC
It is part of the service required of the Contractor to make whatever provisions are
necessary to protect the public. The Contractor will use foresight and will take such steps
and precautions as his operations warrant to protect the public from danger, loss of life or
Page 27 of 31
5148 A
loss of property, which would result from interruption or contamination of public water
supply, interruption of other public service, or from the failure of partly completed work
or partially removed facilities. Unusual conditions may arise on the Project which will
require that immediate and unusual provisions be made to protect the public from danger
or loss of life, or damage to life and property, due directly or indirectly to prosecution of
work under this contract.
Whenever, in the opinion of the Engineer, an emergency exists against which the
Contractor has not taken sufficient precaution for the public safety, protection of utilities
and protection of adjacent structures or property, which may be damaged by the
Contractor's operations and when, in the opinion of the Engineer, immediate action will be
considered necessary in order to protect the public or property due to the Contractor's
operations under this contract, the Engineer will order the Contractor to provide a remedy
for the unsafe condition. If the Contractor fails to act on the situation immediately, the
Engineer may provide suitable protection to said interests by causing such work to be done
and material to be furnished as, in the opinion of the Engineer, may seem reasonable and
necessary.
The cost and expense of said labor and material, together with the cost and expense of such
repairs as are deemed necessary, will be borne by the Contractor. All expenses incurred by
the City for emergency repairs will be deducted from the progress payments and the final
payment due to the Contractor. Such remedial measures by the City will not relieve the
Contractor from full responsibility for public safety.
7 -15 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
The following Subsection will be added to Section 7 of the Greenbook:
For any excavation, which extends more than four feet below existing grade, the Contractor
will promptly, and before the conditions are disturbed, notify the Engineer, in writing, of
1) any material that the Contractor believes may be hazardous waste, as defined in Health
and Safety Code § 25117, which is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class
III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law, 2) subsurface or latent
physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated, or 3) unknown physical
conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily
encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in
the Contract Documents.
After receiving notice from the Contractor, the Engineer will promptly investigate any
condition identified by the Contractor as being hazardous. The rights and obligations of the
City and the Contractor with regard to such conditions (including, without limitation, the
procedures for procuring change orders and filing claims) will be specified by the
provisions of Subsection 3 -4 (Changed Conditions) of the Greenbook.
If a dispute arises between the City and the Contractor whether the conditions materially
differ, involve hazardous waste, or cause a change in the Contractor's cost or time required
for performance of the work, the Contractor will not be excused from any scheduled
completion date provided for by the contract, but will proceed with all work to be
performed under the contract. The Contractor will retain all rights provided by Subsection
3 -5, Disputed Work, of the Greenbook.
Page 28 of 31
If the Engineer determines that material called to the Engineer's attention by the Contractor
is hazardous waste, or if the Engineer otherwise discovers the existence of hazardous waste,
the Contractor will be responsible for removal and disposal of the hazardous waste by
qualified personnel and appropriate equipment in the manner required by law as directed
by the Engineer, subject to the provisions of Section 3 (Changes in Work) of the
Greenbook.
9 -2 LUMP SUM WORK
Subsection 9 -2, Lump Sum Work, of the Greenbook is deleted in its entirety and replaced
by the following:
Items for which quantities are indicated as "Lump Sum," "L.S.," or "Job" will be paid for
at the price indicated in the Proposal. Such payment will be full compensation for all costs
for labor, equipment, materials and plant necessary to furnish, construct and install the
lump sum item of work, complete, in place, and for all necessary appurtenant work,
including, but not limited to, all necessary cutting, patching, repair and modification of
existing facilities, and clean up of site.
Contractor will furnish three copies of a detailed schedule, which breaks down the lump
sum work into its component parts and cost for each part, in a form and sufficiently detailed
as to satisfy Engineer that it correctly represents a reasonable apportionment of the lump
sum. This schedule is subject to approval by Engineer as to both the components into which
the lump sum item is broken down, and the proportion of cost attributable to each
component.
This schedule will be the basis for progress payments for the lump sum work.
9 -3.2 PARTIAL AND FINAL PAYMENTS
The text of Subsection 9 -3.2 of the Standard Specifications is deleted and replaced with
the following:
The closure date for the purpose of making partial progress payments will be the last
working day of each month. The Contractor will prepare the partial payment invoice with
measurement of the work performed through the closure date and submit it to the CITY for
approval.
When work is complete, the Contractor will determine the final quantities of the work
performed and prepare the final progress payment, and submit it to the Engineer for
approval.
It will take a minimum of thirty -five (35) calendar days from the date of approving the
Contractor's invoice to make the payment to the Contractor. However, payments will be
withheld pending receipt of any outstanding reports required by the contract documents, or
legal release of filed Stop Payment Notices against the Contractor. In addition, the final
progress payment will not be released until the Contractor returns the control set of Plans
and Specifications showing the as -built conditions.
Page 29 of 31
ra ry
The full five percent (5 %) retention will be deducted from all progress payments. The
Contractor will make a payment request for the retained amount, for approval by the City,
upon field acceptance of the work by the City Engineer. The City Engineer upon field
acceptance and receipt of the final as -built plans and any other reports or documents
required to be provided by the Contractor will process a recommendation to the City
Council for acceptance of the work. Not less than thirty -five (35) calendar days from the
City Council acceptance of the work, the Contractor's final payment will be made provided
Stop Payment Notices or other claims have not been filed against the Contractor and /or the
City by material suppliers, sub - contractors, other governmental agencies, and private
property owners. Until these Stop Payment Notices are released and claims are resolved
the stop payment /claim amount will be withheld from the final payment.
The Contractor, however, may receive interest on the retention for the length of
construction, or receive the retention itself as long as the retention is substituted with
escrow holder surety or equal value.
At the request and expense of the Contractor, surety equivalent to the retention may be
deposited with the State Treasurer, or a State or Federally chartered bank, as the escrow
agent, who will pay such surety to the Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the
contract.
Pursuant to PCC § 22300, the Contractor may substitute securities for retention monies
held by the City or request that the City place such monies into an escrow account. The
Contractor is notified, pursuant to PCC § 22300, that any such election will be at the
Contractor's own expense and will include costs incurred by the City to accommodate the
Contractor's request.
Progress payment paid by the City as contemplated herein, will be contingent upon the
Contractor submitting, in addition to any additional documents, an updated Contract
Schedule in the form prescribed by these Contract Documents. Failure of the Contractor to
submit an acceptable updated Contract Schedule will result in the City withholding partial
payment, without liability to the City, until such an acceptable updated Contract Schedule
is submitted. Nothing herein will allow the Contractor to suspend or slow progress of the
Work.
A City Council resolution established a Project Payment Account, encumbered money in
the current budget, and assigned that money to the Project Payment Account which is the
sole source of funds available for payment of the Contract Sum. Contractor understands
and agrees that Contractor will be paid only from this special fund and if for any reason
this fund is not sufficient to pay Contractor, Contractor will not be entitled to payment. The
availability of money in this fund, and City's ability to draw from this fund, are conditions
precedent to City's obligation to make payments to Contractor.
9 -3.3 DELIVERED MATERIALS
Materials and equipment delivered or stored, but not incorporated into the work, will not
be approved for progress payments.
Page 30 of 31
100 -1 TERMINATION OF AGENCY LIABILITY
Before receiving final payment, the Contractor will execute a "Release on Contract" form
which will operate as, and will be a release to the City, the City Council, and each member
of the City Council and their agencies, from all claims and liability to the Contractor for
anything done'or furnished for, or relating to, the work or for any act of neglect of the City
of any person relating to or affecting the work, except the claim against the City for the
remainder, if any there be, of the amounts kept or retained as provided in Subsections 9 -3
of the Standard Specifications and except for any unsettled claims listed on said form which
have been fled in compliance with the requirements for making claims.
