insurance required in the Contract Documents. The amount of the insurer’s liability must not be

Bidders, submit to the City certificates of insurance evidencing that you are in possession of the

to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in
accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the work of this contract."

For the consideration hereinafter set forth, the City, Contractor, and Escrow Agent agree as follows:

withheld by the City pursuant to the Contract entered into between the City and Contractor for

Escrow Agent shall notify the City within ten (10) calendar days of the deposit. The market value of
the securities at the time of the substitution, as valued by the City, shall be at least equal to the cash
amount then required to be withheld as retention under the terms of the Contract between the City and
Contractor. If the City determines that the securities are not adequate it will notify Contractor and
Escrow Agent, and Contractor shall deposit additional security as further determined by the City.
Securities shall be held in the name of the City and shall designate the Contractor as the beneficial
owner.
2. Thereafter, City shall make progress payments to the Contractor for such funds which otherwise would
be withheld from progress payments pursuant to the Contract provisions, provided that the Escrow
Agent holds securities in the form and amount specified above.
3. When the City makes payment of retentions earned directly to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent
shall hold them for benefit of the Contractor until such time as the escrow created under this Escrow
Agreement is terminated. The Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities. All
terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement and the rights and responsibilities of the parties shall
be equally applicable and binding when the City pays the Escrow Agent directly.
4. The Contractor shall be responsible for paying all fees for the expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in
administering the Escrow Account and all expenses of the City. These expenses and payment terms
shall be determined by the City, Contractor, and Escrow Agent.
5. The interest earned on the securities or the money market accounts held in escrow and all interest
earned on that interest shall be for the sole account of Contractor and shall be subject to withdrawal
by Contractor at any time and from time to time without notice to the City.
6. Contractor shall have the right to withdraw all or any part of the principal in the Escrow Account only
by written notice to Escrow Agent accompanied by written authorization from City to the Escrow Agent
that City consents to the withdrawal of the amount sought to be withdrawn by Contractor.
7. The City shall have the right to draw upon the securities or any amount paid directly to Escrow Agent
in the event of default by the Contractor. Upon seven (7) days written notice to the Escrow Agent from
the City of the default, the Escrow Agent shall immediately convert the securities to cash and shall
distribute the cash.
8. Upon receipt of written notification from the City certifying that the Contract is final and complete, and
that the Contractor has complied with all requirements and procedures applicable to the Contract,
Escrow Agent shall release to Contractor all securities and interest on deposit less escrow fees and
charges of the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms in Section 10263 of the Public Contracts Code.
The escrow shall be closed immediately upon disbursement of all moneys and securities on deposit
and payment of fees and charges.
9. Escrow Agent shall rely on the written notifications from the City and Contractor pursuant to Sections
(5), (6), (7), and (8) of this Agreement and the City and Contractor shall hold Escrow Agent harmless
from Escrow Agent’s release and disbursement of the securities and interest as set forth above.
10. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300, Contractor shall pay to each subcontractor, not later
than twenty (20) days after receipt of the payment, the respective amount of interest earned, net of

costs attributed to retention withheld from each subcontractor, on the amount of retention withheld to
insure the performance of the Contractor.
11. Securities eligible for investment under this Agreement, as provided by Public Contract Code section
22300, shall be those listed in section 16430 of the Government Code, bank or savings and loan
certificates of deposit, interest bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other
security mutually agreed to by the Contractor and City.

1.2 Specification Interpretation.
Titles. The Specifications are separated into titled sections for convenience only
and not to dictate or determine the trade or craft involved.
As Shown, Etc. Where “as shown,” “as indicated,” “as detailed,” or words of similar
import are used, reference is made to the Drawings accompanying the
Specifications unless otherwise stated. Where “as directed,” as required, “as
permitted,” “as authorized,” permission, authorization, approval, acceptance, or
selection by Architect/Project Engineer is intended unless otherwise stated.
Provide. “Provide” means “provided complete in place,” that is, furnished,
installed, tested, and ready for operation and use.
General Conditions. The General Conditions are a part of each and every section
of the Specifications.
Abbreviations. In the interest of brevity, the Specifications are written in an
abbreviated form and may not include complete sentences. Nevertheless, the
requirements of the Specifications are mandatory. Omitted words or phrases shall
be supplied by inference in the same manner as they are when a “note” occurs on
the Drawings.
Plural. Words in the singular shall include the plural whenever applicable or the
context so indicates.
Standard Specification. Any reference to standard specifications of any society,
institute, association, or governmental authority is a reference to the organization’s
standard specifications, which are in effect at the date of your bid. If applicable
specifications are revised prior to completion of any part of the Work, you may, if
acceptable to the City, perform such Work in accordance with the revised
specifications. The standard specifications, except as modified in the Technical
Specifications for the Project, have full force and effect as though printed in the
Technical Specifications. The City will furnish, upon request, information as to how
copies of the standard specifications may be obtained.
Absence of Modifiers. In the interest of brevity, the Contract Documents frequently
omit modifying words such as “all” and “any” and articles such as “the” and “an,”
but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears
in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.
1.3 Style Variations
The City is gradually standardizing the style of the specifications. The use of the
new style does not change the meaning of a Contract not using this style. The new
style includes the use of:
1. Imperative mood
2. Introductory modifiers
3. Conditional clauses
4. Industry-standard terms.
DEFINITIONS AND TERMS
General Conditions
5
The new style also includes the elimination of:
1. Language variations
2. Definitions for industry-standard terms
3. Redundant specifications
4. Needless cross-references.
Because of this transition, some terms or clauses may be different or inconsistent
from others used throughout this document, but for the purpose of this Contract,
may be considered to have the same meaning.

4. SCOPE OF WORK
4.1 Intent of Plans and Specifications.
The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper
execution and completion of the Work. The Contract documents are complementary,
and what is required by one will be as binding as if required by all. Where the
Contract Documents describe portions of the work in general terms, but not in
complete detail, it is understood that only the best general practice is to prevail and
that only materials and workmanship of the first quality are to be used. Words and
abbreviations that have well-known technical or trade meanings are used in the
Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.
Work not covered in the Contract Documents will not be required unless it is
consistent therewith and is reasonably inferred there from as being necessary to
produce the intended results.
Unless otherwise specified, the you will be required to furnish all labor, materials,
tools, equipment, and incidentals, and do all the work involved in executing the
contract in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner.
It is your responsibility to obtain and maintain at the job site a copy of the project
plans, specifications and all current applicable standard drawings and specifications
for reference during the course of the work.
4.2 Project Sign, Advertising.
If required as part of the work under the contract, it will be your responsibility to
furnish and install a project sign. No advertising is permitted on the project or site
without written permission from the City.
4.3 Clean Up of Project Site (Housekeeping).
You must maintain the work site in a safe, clean and neat condition at all times.
Clean up all work at frequent intervals and at other times when directed by the
Engineer. All crates, cartons, paper, and other flammable waste materials must be
removed from work areas and properly disposed of at the end of each day.
Additionally, prior to the end of each workday, all equipment and material must be
removed from the public right-of-way and the public right-of-way must be cleaned,
made safe and restored to a normal operating status. Remove from and about the
Site and all waste materials, rubbish, tools, construction equipment, machinery, and
materials no longer required for the Work. Upon completion of the work, remove
from the premises construction equipment and any waste materials not previously
disposed of, leaving the premises thoroughly clean and ready for occupancy.
When another Contractor is engaged in work at or near the site, both of you will be
responsible for cleanup and removal of your own rubbish, equipment, and any waste
materials not previously disposed of.
If a dispute arises as to which contractor is responsible for cleaning up, or if you fail
to maintain the Work in a clean and safe manner in the opinion of the Engineer, the
Engineer may clean up and withhold the expense incurred from payments.

4.4 Record Drawings and Specifications.
You will be given one extra set of working drawings and specifications for you to
keep at the site of the Work at all times. During the course of construction, maintain
working drawings, kept up each day, to show the project as it is actually constructed.
The following are to be inserted and dimensioned on said drawings and
specifications in RED: exact locations of all pipes and conduits, all changes in
construction, materials and installed equipment. All change orders are to be shown
by reference to sketch drawings, and any supplementary drawings or change order
drawings must be included. The altered contract drawings must be sufficiently
detailed so that future work on the project or in adjacent areas may be conducted
with a minimum of difficulty. Prior to Final Inspection of the Work, submit the
completed record drawings to the Engineer.
4.5 Changes in the Work.
4.5.1 General.
The Engineer may order additions, deletions or revisions in the general scope
of the Work or extensions or deletions to the time for completion of the
contract without invalidating the Contract Documents and without notice to
your sureties.
The difference in cost of the work affected by any such change will be added
to or deducted from the Contract Sum, as the case may be, by a fair and
reasonable valuation, determined by one or more of the following methods:
(1) By unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or the approved
Schedule of Values;
(2) By unit prices negotiated and agreed to between the parties:
(3) By a lump sum amount negotiated and agreed to between the parties:
(4) By Force Account Payment when directed in writing by the Engineer.
The changes will be set forth in a Change Order which will specify, in addition
to the work to be done in connection with the change made, adjustment of
contract time, if any, and the basis of compensation for that work. A Change
Order will not become effective until approved by the Engineer.
You may request changes in the work, but must not act on the changes until
approved in writing by the Engineer. Any change made without authority in
writing from the Engineer will be your responsibility, and no increase in
compensation will be provided to you. Any changes not authorized in writing,
involving greater or lesser expense, may be rejected by the Engineer with the
consequent responsibility on you to replace at your own expense the
changed work with that originally specified
On the basis set forth herein, the Contract Sum will be adjusted for any
Change and the partial payments (progress payments) to you will be adjusted
to reflect the change.
SCOPE OF WORK
General Conditions

Whenever the necessity for change arises, and when so ordered by the
Engineer in writing, you must take all necessary steps to halt such other work
in the area of the change that might be affected by the ultimate change.
Changed work is to be Perform all changed work in accordance with the
original contract requirements unless stated otherwise by the Change Order.
Except as herein provided, you will not be compensated due to change in the
work.
Upon receipt of an approved Change Order, proceed with the ordered work.
If ordered in writing by the Engineer, proceed with the ordered work prior to
actual receipt of an approved change order. In those cases, the Engineer
will, as soon as practicable, issue an approved Change Order for the ordered
work and the provisions in Section 4.5.11, "Protest of Change Orders.," will
be fully applicable to the subsequently issued Change Order.
The Engineer will not be held liable for any delays caused by factors beyond
its control, including but not limited to any other local, State or federal
agency’s review of bids, change orders, RFI’s or any other documents.
4.5.2 Change Order Procedures.
The Engineer will issue to you a Cost Request Bulletin (CRB) for a proposed
Change Order describing the intended change. The CRB will require you to
provide a proposed amount to be added to or subtracted from the Contract
Sum due to the change. When requested by the Engineer, your proposed
amount must be accompanied with an itemized breakdown and supporting
data of the quantities and prices used in computing the detailed estimate of
cost. Upon request by the Engineer, you must allow the inspection of the
original contract estimate, subcontract agreements, or purchase orders
relating to the change. Allowable costs and markups used to compute the
estimated costs must be in accordance with Section 4.5.6, “Allowable Costs
and Markups for Change Orders and Force Account Work. Any costs
incurred to acquire information relative to a proposed change order are your
responsibility.
Include in the proposed cost any request for time extension to the contract
that is directly attributable to the proposed changed work. Failure to request
adjustment of time on the response to the CRB will result in your waiving of
any right to subsequently claim an adjustment of the time for final completion
based on the changed work.
Submit the response to the CRB with supporting data and any time extension
request to the Engineer within 15 calendar days after issuance of the CRB. If
you have not submitted the response within the required time and you have
not obtained the Engineer’s permission for a delay in submission, the
Engineer may issue an order in writing for you to begin the work immediately,
and the contract price will be adjusted in accordance with Engineer’s estimate
of cost, unless you present proof, within 15 calendar days following
completion of the changed work, that the Engineer’s estimate was in error.
SCOPE OF WORK
General Conditions

Proposed Change Orders may be presented to you for consideration prior to
approval by the Engineer. If you signify acceptance of the terms and
conditions of the proposed Change Order by executing the document and if
the Change Order is approved by the Engineer and issued to you, payment in
accordance with the provisions as to compensation therein set forth will
constitute full compensation for all work included therein or required thereby.
A Change Order executed by you and approved by the Engineer is an
executed Change Order. An approved contract change order will supersede
a proposed, but unapproved, contract change order covering the same work.
4.5.3 Agreement of Change Order Costs.
When you and the Engineer agree on the amount to be added to or deducted
from the contract sum and the time to be added to or deducted from the
contract time, and the change order is fully executed, immediately proceed
with the changed work.
If agreement is reached as to the adjustment in compensation for the
performance of changed work but agreement is not reached as to the time
adjustment for such work, proceed with the work at the agreed price,
reserving the right to further pursue his claim for a time adjustment per
Section 4.5.7, “Allowable Time Extensions.”
4.5.4 Failure to Agree with Proposed Costs & Force Account Work
(1) For Added Work - Notwithstanding the failure of you and the to agree with
the cost of the proposed change order or when extra or unforeseen work
is ordered by the Engineer to be performed as Force Account Work, you
must, upon written order from the Engineer, proceed immediately with the
changed work. At the completion of each day's work, furnish to the
Engineer, a detailed summary of all labor, materials, and equipment
employed in the changed work. The Engineer will compare his records
with your daily summary and may make any necessary adjustments to
the summary. After you and the Engineer agree upon and sign the daily
summary, the summary will become the basis for determining costs for
the additional work. The sum of these costs with the allowable mark-ups
will constitute the payment for the changed work. The Engineer,
however, may make subsequent adjustments, based on later audits.
When changed work is performed at locations away from the job site,
furnish in lieu of the daily summary, a summary submitted at the
completion of the work containing a detailed statement of labor, material,
and equipment used in the work. You must sign and certify that the
information provided in the summary is true.
You must also maintain and furnish on demand of Engineer itemized
statements of cost from all vendors or subcontractors who perform
changed work or furnish materials and equipment for such work. The
vendors and subcontractors must sign all statements.

(2) The Engineer reserves the right to use other forces to complete the
ordered change in work upon determination by the Engineer that it is in
the best interests of the City. For Deleted Work. When a proposed
change order contains a deletion of any work and you and the Engineer
are unable to agree upon the cost thereof, the Engineer’s estimate will be
deducted from the contract price and may be withheld from any payment
due until you present proof that Engineer’s estimate was in error. The
amount to be deducted will be the costs for labor, materials, and
equipment that would have been used on the deleted work. The
guidelines set forth in Section 4.5.6, “Allowable Costs and Markups for
Change Orders and Force Account Work," will be used in computing the
amounts involved.
(3) Duty to Proceed with the Project. Notwithstanding any dispute that may
arise in connection with a claim for adjustment of contract price, time for
completion of the contract or any other cause, always continue to
proceed with the Work promptly and directly.
4.5.5 Change Order Acknowledgements.
By agreeing to a Change Order, you irrevocably acknowledge that you have
given careful consideration to the changes proposed and agrees by the
Change Order to provide all equipment, furnish all labor and materials, and
perform all work and services necessary for the changes specified, and will
accept as full payment, the price approved by such Change Order.
4.5.6 Allowable Costs and Markups for Change Orders and Force Account Work
The following is a breakdown of allowable costs and mark ups for estimating
change orders and actual force account work. Submit substantiating
documentation with an itemized breakdown of direct costs pertaining to such
changed work. The only estimated or actual costs that will be allowed
because of changed work and the manner in which such costs will be
computed are as follows:
(1) Labor. You will be paid the direct cost of labor for the workers, including
foremen who are directly assigned to the work, used in the actual and
direct performance of the work. This cost of labor will be the sum of the
following:
a. The actual wages paid to the worker including employer payments to
or on behalf of the worker for health and welfare, pension, vacation
and similar purposes. No labor cost will be compensated at a rate in
excess of the wages prevailing in the locality at the time the work is
performed, nor will the use of a classification that would increase the
labor cost be permitted unless you establish, to the satisfaction of the
Engineer, the necessity for payment at a higher rate.
Payment for Forman wages will be the prevailing wage rate of the
highest paid worker used on the changed work plus $1.00 hour.
SCOPE OF WORK
General Conditions
11
Payment for an owner, superintendent or other salaried employee
performing direct labor on the project will be at the prevailing wage
rate corresponding to the type of direct labor they performed. Labor
markup as defined in 4.5.6(4) constitutes full compensation for all
supervision cost and no separate payment will be made therefor.
b. To the actual wages as defined in Section 4.5.6(1)a. will be added an
11% labor surcharge which constitutes full compensation for all
payments imposed by state and federal laws and for all payments
made to, or on behalf of, the workers, other than actual wages as
defined in Section 4.5.6(1)a, and sustenance and travel allowance as
specified in Section 4.56(1)c.
(2) Materials. The cost for the materials directly required for the performance
of the changed work. Such cost of materials may include the costs of
procurement, transportation, and delivery if necessarily incurred. If a
trade discount by the actual supplier is available, it will be credited to City.
If the materials are obtained from a supply or source which you have
complete or partial ownership, payment therefor will not exceed the
current wholesale price for such materials.
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the cost of materials is excessive, or if
you fail to furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost from the actual
supplier thereof, then the cost of the materials will be deemed to be the
lowest wholesale price at which similar materials are available in the
quantities required at the time they were needed.
The Engineer reserves the right to furnish such materials as it deems
advisable, and you will not be compensated for costs or lost profits on
material furnished by the Engineer.
(3) Equipment. For your owned equipment, you will be paid for the use of
the equipment at the rental rates listed in the State Department of
Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge and Equipment
Rental Rates that is in effect on the date the contract is awarded. If
rented equipment or your owned equipment is not listed in the Rental
Rate publication, a suitable rental rate established by a local rental
agency will be used. No cost will be recognized in excess of the rental
rates established by distributors or equipment rental agencies in the
locality where the work is performed.
The rates paid for equipment will include the cost of fuel, oil, lubrication,
supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, repairs and maintenance of
any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance and all incidentals.
The rental time will include the time required to move the equipment to
the work from the nearest available source for rental of such equipment,
and to return it to the source. If such equipment is not moved by its own
power, then loading and transportation costs will be paid. However,
neither moving time nor loading and transportation costs will be paid if the

equipment is used on the project in any other way than upon the changed
work. No payment will be made for time while equipment is idle or
inoperative due to breakdowns or for non-working days.
Individual pieces or equipment having a replacement value of $500.00 or
less are considered to be small tools or equipment, and no payment will
be made therefor.
At the pre-construction conference, submit a list of equipment
anticipated to be used on the project and the associated Caltrans
Equipment Rental Rate. Identify equipment that does not have an
established rate. The most current Caltrans Equipment Rental Rate
publication at the date of Contract Award will be used for the entire
project.
(4) Markups for Changed Work. You will be paid the direct costs for labor,
materials and equipment used in performing the changed work as
determined in the previous subsections (1), (2) and (3) above. To the
total of the direct costs the following markups will be added:
a. Labor 33%
b. Materials 15%
c. Equipment 15%
The above markups constitute full compensation for all delay costs,
overhead costs, supervision, site costs including but not limited to job
trailers and portable toilets, and profit deemed to include all items of
expense not specifically designated as cost in Section 4.5.6 (1), (2) & (3).
The total payment made constitutes full compensation therefor.
(5) Market Values. Cost for added work will be based on market values
prevailing at the time of the change unless you can establish to the
satisfaction of the Engineer that you have investigated all possible means
of obtaining work at prevailing market values and that the excess cost
could not be avoided by it.
When a change order deletes work from the contract, the computation of
the cost thereof will be the values that prevailed at the time bids for the
work were opened.
(6) Work by Subcontractors. For any portion of the changed work that is
performed by a subcontractor, furnish to the Engineer a detailed estimate
prepared by the subcontractor in accordance with the allowable costs and
mark-ups as stated above in sub-sections (1), (2), (3) and (4). At the
option of the Engineer, a lump sum estimate of such cost to
subcontractor may be accepted in lieu of the detailed estimate.
You are entitled to add an additional markup of 5% to the total cost of the
subcontracted work. This additional 5% markup is for additional
administrative costs, including bonds, and no other additional payment
will be made for changed work performed by a subcontractor.

4.5.7 Allowable Time Extensions.
Time extensions due to changes in work will be provided in accordance with
Section 8.7, “Adjustment of Contract Time and Allowable Time Extensions.”
4.5.8 Emergency Changes.
Changes in the work made necessary due to unforeseen site conditions,
discovery of errors in plans or specifications requiring immediate clarification
in order to avoid a work stoppage, changes of a kind where the extent cannot
be determined until completed, or under any circumstances whatsoever when
deemed necessary by the Engineer are types of emergency changes which
may be authorized by the Engineer in writing. Commence performance of the
emergency change immediately upon receipt of a written authorization.
Within 15 days after receiving the authorization to proceed with the
emergency change, submit a detailed estimate of cost and any proposed
extension in contract time in accordance with Section 4.5.6, “Allowable Costs
and Markups for Change Orders and Force Account Work”
4.5.9 Minor Changes in the Work
The Engineer retains the right to request that you make minor changes in the
Work by Field Order and/or by Engineer's Directive. Minor changes generally
do not impact the cost of the performance of the Work or detrimentally or
significantly impact the Contract Time.
4.5.10 Eliminated Items.
Should any item of the work be eliminated in its entirety, payment will be
made to you for actual costs incurred in connection with the eliminated item if
incurred prior to the date of notification in writing by the Engineer of the
elimination unless otherwise addressed in an executed change order.
If acceptable material is ordered by you for the eliminated item prior to the
date of notification of the elimination by the Engineer, and if orders for that
material cannot be canceled, the material will be paid for at the actual cost
you incurred. In this case, the material paid for will become the property of
the City, and the actual cost of any further handling will be paid for. If the
material is returnable to the vendor, and if the Engineer so directs, the
material must be returned to the vendor, and you will be paid for the actual
cost of charges made by the vendor for returning the material. The actual
cost of handling returned material will be paid for.
The actual costs or charges to be paid by the City as provided in this Section
will be in accordance with Section 4.5.6, “Allowable Costs and Markups for
Change Orders and Force Account Work.”
4.5.11 Protest of Change Orders.
A Change Order approved by the Engineer may be issued at any time.
Should you disagree with any terms or conditions set forth in an approved
Change Order, submit a written protest to the Engineer within 15 days after
the receipt of the approved Change Order. The protest must identify the
SCOPE OF WORK
General Conditions
14
points of disagreement, and, if possible, the contract specification references,
quantities and costs involved. If a written protest is not submitted, payment
will be made as set forth in the approved contract change order, and that
payment will constitute full compensation for all work included therein or
required thereby. Unprotested approved Change Orders will be considered
as executed Change Orders.
Where the protest concerning an approved Change Order relates to
compensation, the compensation payable for all work specified or required by
that Change Order to which the protest relates will be determined as provided
in Sections 4.5.4, “Failure to Agree with Proposed Costs & Force Account
Work,” and 4.5.6, “Allowable Costs and Markups for Change Orders and
Force Account Work.” Keep full and complete records of the cost of that work
and allow the Engineer to have access thereto as may be necessary to assist
in the determination of the compensation payable for that work.
Where the protest concerning an approved Change Order relates to the
adjustment of Contract Time for the completion of the Work, the time to be
allowed therefor will be determined as provided in Section 8.7, “Adjustment of
Contract Time and Allowable Time Extensions.”

5. CONTROL OF WORK
5.1 Administrators of the Contract.
5.1.1 Authority of the City.
The Engineer will decide all questions which may arise as to the quality or
acceptability of materials furnished and work performed and as to the manner
of performance and rate of progress of the work; all questions which may
arise as to the interpretation of the plans and specifications; all questions as
to the acceptable fulfillment of the contract on your part; and all questions as
to compensation. The Engineer may rely on the Architect for assistance in
interpretations and questions involving the intent of the plans and
specifications. The Engineer’s decision will be final, and the Engineer will
have authority to enforce and make effective those decisions and orders
which you fail to carry out promptly. The Engineer may grant authority to the
City’s Representative and/or Inspector to act on his behalf.
5.1.2 Role of the Architect.
The Architect is the person lawfully licensed to practice Architecture or
Engineering in the State of California and who has entered into an agreement
with the City to serve as Architect or Engineer for the Work or may be an
employee of the City or other governmental entity. The Architect will be the
interpreter of the requirements of the Drawings and Specifications. The
Architect/Project Engineer will communicate only with you through the
City's Representative and will have no authority to direct your work,
issue or approve Change Orders. All Change Orders, Field Orders and
Cost Request Bulletins will be approved and issued by the Engineer to you
through the City’s Representative.
5.1.3 Role of the City Representative.
The City’s Representative is the person or entity who has been identified by
the Engineer to serve as construction project manager for the Engineer.
They are empowered by the City to act on its behalf with respect to the proper
execution of the Work and will give instructions to require such corrective
measure as may be necessary, in his opinion, to ensure the proper execution
of the contract or to protect the City’s interest. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the City's Representative will determine the amount, quality,
acceptability, fitness and progress of the Work covered by the Contract
without, however, assuming any of the Architect's or Engineer’s statutory or
customary obligation. The City’s Representative will have no authority to
obligate or otherwise bind the City.
The City’s Representative will have the authority to reject Work that does not
conform to the Contract Documents and to require any Special Inspection
and Testing.
The City’s Representative must, at all times, have access to the Work
wherever it is in preparation and progress. When directed by the City’s
CONTROL OF WORK
General Conditions
16
Representative, you must provide facilities for such access so the City’s
Representative may perform his functions under the Contract Documents.
In no event will any act or omission on the part of the City’s Representative
relieve you from your obligation to perform your Work in full compliance with
the Contract.
5.1.4 Role of the Inspector(s).
All Work must be under the observation of or with the knowledge of
Inspectors. Inspectors must be provided free access to any or all parts of the
Work at any time. You must furnish Inspectors such information as may be
necessary to keep the Inspector fully informed regarding progress and
manner of work and character of materials. Such observations will not, in any
way, relieve you from responsibility for full compliance with all terms and
conditions of the Contract, or be construed to lessen to any degree your
responsibility for providing efficient and capable superintendence. The
Inspector’s observations of the Work and methods relieve you of
responsibility for the correction of subsequently discovered defects, or from
its obligation to comply with the Contract Documents.
The Inspector has the authority to reject work that does not comply with the
provisions of the Contract Documents
5.2 City’s Right to Stop Work
The Engineer has the authority to stop work whenever provisions of contract
documents are not being complied with. If you fail to correct Work that is not in
conformance with the requirements of the Contract Documents or persistently fails
to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Engineer, by
written order, may instruct you to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the
cause of such order has been eliminated. The right of the Engineer to stop the Work
does not give rise to any duty on the part of the Engineer to exercise this right to
stop the Work for your benefit.
You will bear all costs and will not be entitled to any time extension of such Work
stoppage unless it is determined by the Engineer that no fault existed in your Work.
5.3 Conformity with Contract Documents and Allowable Deviations
Work and materials must conform to the lines, grades, elevations, sections, details,
dimensions and material requirements, including tolerances, shown on the plans or
indicated in the specifications. Although measurement, sampling and testing may
be considered evidence as to conformity, the Engineer will be the sole judge as to
whether the work or materials deviate from the plans and specifications. If found to
be in its best interest, the Engineer has the right to accept Work that is not in
accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, instead of requiring
its removal and correction, in which case the total amount of the contract will be
reduced as agreed between the Engineer and you. Such adjustment will be effected
whether or not payment had been made. The Engineer’s decision as to any
allowable deviations will be final.

5.4 Coordination and Interpretation of Contract Documents
Before commencing any portion of the Work, carefully examine all Drawings and
Specifications and other information given to you as to materials and methods of
construction and other Project requirements. You must immediately notify the
Engineer in writing of any perceived or alleged error, inconsistency, ambiguity, or
lack of detail or explanation in the Drawings and Specifications in the manner
provided herein. If you or your Subcontractors, suppliers, or officers, agents, and
employees perform, permit, or cause the performance of any work under the
Contract Documents, which are known or should have been known to be in error,
inconsistent, or ambiguous, or not sufficiently detailed or explained, you will bear
any and all costs arising there from including, without limitation, the cost of
correction thereof without increase or adjustment to the Contract Sum or the time for
performance. If you perform, permit, or cause the performance of any work under
the Contract Documents prepared by or on behalf of you in error, inconsistent or
ambiguous, or not sufficiently detailed or explained, you will bear any and all
resulting costs, including, without limitation, the cost of correction, without increase
to or adjustment in the Contract Sum or the time for performance. In no case must
any Subcontractor proceed with the work if uncertain without your written direction
and/or approval.
5.4.1 Conflicts.
(1) Any work called for by the drawings and not mentioned in the
specifications, or vice versa, is to be furnished as though fully set forth by
both. Where not specifically stated otherwise, all work and materials
necessary for each unit of construction, including special construction for
any specific brand or shape of materials called for, even though only
briefly mentioned or indicated, is to be furnished and installed fully and
completely, including, but not limited to, manufacturer's instructions
and/or recommendations, as part of this Contract.
(2) Should a conflict occur within or between any of the following, the more
stringent applies:
o Supplementary Conditions
o General Conditions
o Specifications (Divisions 1 through 16)
o City Standard Specifications (current version)
o Referenced Specifications
o Drawings
o City Engineering Standards
o Manufacturer’s Recommendations
o Codes and Ordinances
(3) In case of conflicts the following documents take precedence in the
following order:
a. Change Orders/Written Amendments
b. Field Orders
CONTROL OF WORK
General Conditions
18
c. Addenda
(4) If there is a conflict between addenda, the most recent addendum takes
precedence.
(5) Figured dimensions prevail over scaled dimensions, and detailed
drawings prevail over general drawings.
(6) Schedules, when identified as such, govern over all other portions of the
plans.
(7) Specific notes govern over all other notes and all other portions of the
plans except the schedules noted above.
(8) In the event of conflict between specific notes or details, the more
stringent governs.
(9) Project Specifications govern over the project plans. Project plans will
govern over City Engineering Standards and City Standard
Specifications.
5.4.2 Omissions.
(1) Work not particularly shown or specified will be the same as similar parts
that are shown or specified or as directed.
(2) Should it appear that the work to be done, or any of the matter relative
thereto is not sufficiently detailed or explained in the Contract Documents,
it is your responsibility to request from the Engineer further explanations
as may be necessary, and to conform thereto as part of the Contract so
far as may be consistent with the terms thereof.
(3) The Engineer will provide direction for any work which is not dimensioned
on the plans.
(4) If Contract Documents are not complete as to any minor detail of a
required construction system or with regard to the manner of combining
or installing of parts, materials, or equipment, but there exists an
accepted trade standard for good and workmanlike construction, such
detail will be deemed to be an implied requirement of Contract
Documents in accordance with such standard.
"Minor detail" includes the concept of substantially identical components,
where the price of each such component is small even though the
aggregate cost or importance is substantial, and includes a single
component which is incidental, even though its cost or importance may
be substantial.
The quality and quantity of the parts or material so supplied must conform
to trade standards and be compatible with the type, composition,
strength, size, and profile of the parts of materials otherwise set forth in
Contract Documents.

5.4.3 Product Designation.
When descriptive catalog designations, including manufacturer's name,
product brand name, or model number are referred to in the contract, such
designations are to be considered as being those found in industry
publications of current issue at date of first Invitation to Bid.
5.4.4 Reference Standards.
When standards of the federal government, trade societies, or trade
associations are referred to in the contract by specific date of issue, these will
be considered a part of this contract. When such references do not bear a
date of issue, the current published edition at date of first Invitation to Bid will
be considered a part of this contract.
5.5 Issuance of Documents After Contract Award - Interpretations, Clarifications,
Changes.
The following documents will be used for resolving conflicts, errors or omissions in
the plans and specifications, or if you have any question concerning interpretation or
clarification of the contract. If you proceed with the work affected before receipt of
the interpretation, clarification, or instructions from the Engineer, you must replace or
adjust any work not in conformance therewith and will be responsible for any
resultant damage or added cost.
It is the intention of this Section that differences between the parties arising under
and by virtue of the contract be brought to the attention of the Engineer at the
earliest possible time in order that such matters may be settled, if possible, or other
appropriate action be promptly taken. You as contractor hereby agree that you have
no right to additional compensation for any claim that may be based on any such
act, failure to act, event, thing or occurrence for which no written notice of potential
claim as herein required was filed.
5.5.1 Request for Information (RFI).
An RFI is a written request prepared by you asking the Engineer to provide
additional information necessary to clarify an item that you feel is not clearly
shown or called for in the drawings or specifications, or to address problems
which have arisen under field conditions. A RFI is to be used as a tool to add
specific information that may be needed to complete the work but does not
change the intent of the design or work required to give a complete and
finished product.
An RFI cannot modify the Contract Cost, Contract Time, or the Contract
Documents. A RFI in no way automatically justifies additional time, money or
a delay to the project.
The RFI must reference all the applicable Contract Documents including
specification section, detail, page numbers, drawing numbers, and sheet
numbers, etc. You will make suggestions and/or interpretations of the issue
raised by the RFI. You must write an RFI clearly with enough information so
that the City Representative/Architect understands what information is
needed. RFI’s must be numbered in sequence. If an RFI is resubmitted for
CONTROL OF WORK
General Conditions
20
additional information it will include a sequential number assigned to the
original RFI. (RFI # 3 (2) would be the second request for RFI #3)
You must use the Short Interval Schedule (3 weeks) for coordinating work
and RFI’s as needed to complete the work as intended without causing
delays.
At the Engineer’s discretion, the Engineer may invoice you for any costs
incurred for professional services if an RFI requests an interpretation or
decision of a matter where the information sought is equally available to the
party making such request. Such costs will be deducted from the next
progress payment.
The Engineer will make every effort to respond to RFI’s as quickly as possible
but you must allow up to two weeks for a response without considering the
response a delay to the project. Within these 2 weeks, the Engineer will either
issue a response in the form of a clarification when there is no time or cost
impacts involved in the response or the Engineer will issue a Cost Request
Bulletin as outlined below.
5.5.2 Cost Request Bulletins (CRB).
The Engineer may, from time to time during the course of the Work, issue
Cost Request Bulletins (CRB) describing additional Work that may be
desirable to include or delete from the Contract, by subsequent Change
Order. You must respond to Cost Request Bulletins in a thorough and timely
manner, identifying separately and fully the costs of the proposed additional
or deleted work as described in the Change Order provisions. Failure by you
to respond within 2 weeks or to adequately describe the costs fully to Cost
Request Bulletins and as a result, delaying the timely performance of the
Contract will not constitute justification for time extension or additional costs.
5.5.3 Field Orders.
The Engineer will retain the right to issue Field Orders to you describing
changes necessary or desirable to the work that may not involve additional
cost or extension of the Contract time. Field Orders must be promptly
executed and are not grounds for adjustment to the time or cost of Contract.
Should you determine that there is cost or time impact to the Work due to the
Field Order, you must immediately notify that fact in writing to the Engineer,
describing the anticipated impacts, and request issuance of a Change Order.
Each Field Order must receive a written response from you, acknowledging
receipt, describing the action and time of completion for the work. A
subsequent written notice must be submitted by you to the Engineer upon
completion of the Work required by the Field Order stating that the work is
complete and ready for inspection.
5.5.4 Change Orders.
The Engineer reserves the right to require you to process and implement
Change Orders in a timely fashion to add to or delete from the Work of the
CONTROL OF WORK
General Conditions
21
Contract. Provisions for change orders and methods of implementation are
described in Section 4.5, “Changes in the Work.”
5.5.5 City 's Directives.
The Engineer reserves the right to issue City’s Directives, such as Correction
Notices and Punch Lists, to require correction or repairs to the Work, or to
require you to bring into conformity with any laws, codes, ordinances, safety
orders or practices determined to be deficient at the work site and
surrounding areas affected by the Work, or to correct deficiencies in the Work
in regard to compliance with the Contract Documents. City’s Directives must
be promptly executed and are not grounds for adjustment to the time or cost
of Contract. Each City’s Directive must receive a written response from you,
acknowledging receipt, describing the action and the time of completion for
the Work. A subsequent written notice must be submitted by you to the
Engineer upon completion of the Work required stating that the Work is
complete and ready for inspection.
5.6 Work Beyond the Scope.
Should any supplemental detail, clarification, field order, directive or additional
detailed instructions, in your opinion, constitute work beyond the scope of the
contract, you must submit a written notice of potential claim to the Engineer in
accordance with Section 9.3, “Notice of Potential Claim,” of these General
Conditions. The written notice of potential claim must set forth the reasons for which
you believe additional compensation will or may be due, the nature of the costs
involved, and, insofar as possible, the amount of the potential claim. If, in the
judgment of the Engineer, the claim is justified, the clarification, field order, directive
or additional detailed instructions will be revised and the extra work authorized via
an authorized change order. If the Engineer decides that the claim is not justified
and you still fail to agree, you must nevertheless perform such work upon receipt
from the Engineer of a written order to do so. In such case, you will have the right to
have the claim later determined pursuant to Section 9.7.3, "Final Payment and
Claims" you will have no claim for additional compensation because of such
clarification, field order, directive or additional detailed instructions, unless he gives
written notice to the Engineer in accordance with Section 9.3, “Notice of Potential
Claim.”.
5.7 Order of work.
When required by the specifications or plans, you must follow the sequence of
operations as set forth therein. Full compensation for conforming to those
requirements will be considered as included in the contract price paid for the work
and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
5.8 Superintendence and Labor Force.
You must supervise and direct the Work, using the best skill and attention. You must
be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences
and procedures and for coordinating all portions of Work under the Contract. Before
starting work, you must designate in writing, a competent, English-speaking,
CONTROL OF WORK
General Conditions
22
Superintendent who will have the authority to represent and act for you and who will
be present at the site of the work at all times while work is in progress on the
contract. The Superintendent must represent you in your absence and all directions
given to him will be as binding as if given to you. The Superintendent must not be
changed except with the consent of the Engineer, unless the Superintendent proves
to be unsatisfactory to you and ceases to be in your employ. If the Superintendent
proves to be unsatisfactory to the Engineer, he must be replaced within 10 calendar
days after written notice from the Engineer to you.
You must: furnish a competent and adequate staff as necessary for the proper
administration, coordination, supervision, and superintendence of the Work;
organize the procurement of all materials and equipment so that the materials and
equipment will be available at the time they are needed for the Work. At all times
you must provide sufficient labor to properly carry on the Work and to insure
completion of each part in accordance with the schedule and within the contract
time. You will make certain that competent workers are employed who are skilled in
the type of work required and that workmanship is of the best, regardless of the
quality of material.
The Engineer has the right, but not the obligation, to require the removal from the
Project of any superintendent or employee of yours who in the Engineer’s opinion
the Engineer has cause to remove.
5.9 Lines and Grades.
5.9.1 General
You will be responsible to provide such stakes or marks required for the completion
of the Work. You must retain a qualified licensed Land Surveyor or a registered Civil
Engineer to establish on the site the required reference points and bench marks,
establish building lines and elevations, check structural framework for plumbness,
and establish basic grid lines from which work must be laid out. Stakes and marks
must be provided in the units, metric or English, that are shown on the plans.
5.9.2 Survey Reference Points.
Locate and protect control points prior to starting work and preserve permanent
reference points during construction. Should any existing survey monument be
disturbed or destroyed during construction, it must be reset at the previous location.
Should any existing benchmark be disturbed or destroyed during construction, a
new one must be set at a nearby, but different, location than the existing, as
determined by the Engineer. Monuments and benchmarks must be set by a
Licensed Land Surveyor or a Registered Civil Engineer. The Engineer reserves the
right to review the Land Surveyor or Engineer's license to determine its validity. For
monuments, a Corner Record must be filed with the County and a copy delivered to
the Engineer. For benchmarks, documentation of the benchmark and how it was
reset must be delivered to the Engineer.
5.9.3 Project Survey Requirements.
You must establish lines and levels; locate and lay out site improvements by
establishing stakes for grading, fill, topsoil placement and invert elevations; locate

General Conditions
23
and lay out batter boards for structures; and controlling lines and levels required for
mechanical and electrical work.
From time to time, you will verify layouts and new work to ensure conformance with
the Contract Documents.
5.10 Inspection
All work done and all materials furnished will be subject to inspection and
observation by the Engineer. Inspection of the Work or materials must not relieve
you from any obligation to fulfill this contract. Work and materials not meeting the
requirements must be made good, and unsuitable work or materials may be
rejected, despite that the work or materials have been previously inspected or that
payment therefore has been included in a progress payment.
Whenever you change the normal agreed-to hours of work, you must give a 24-hour
notice to the Inspector, so that proper inspection may be provided. If you fail to
properly notify the Inspector as specified above, any work performed by you outside
the normal hours of work and in the absence of the Inspector will be subject to
rejection. Normal hours of work must fall between 7:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. Monday
through Friday unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents. The Engineer
must approve any hours worked outside of these
If you elect to perform work outside the Inspector’s regular working hours, costs of
any inspections required outside regular working hours will be invoiced to you by the
Engineer and deducted from the next Progress Payment.
5.11 Uncovering of work
If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Inspector's or Architect's request,
or to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if
required in writing by the Inspector or the Architect, be uncovered for the Inspector's
or the Architect's observation and be replaced at your expense without change in the
Contract Price or Time.
If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Inspector or the Architect has
not specifically requested to observe prior to its being covered, the Inspector or the
Architect may request to see such work, and it must be uncovered by you. If such
work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncover and
replacement will, by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Engineer. If such
work is not in accordance with Contract Documents, you must pay such costs unless
the Engineer caused the condition, in which event the Engineer will be responsible
for payment of such costs to you.
You must promptly correct the Work rejected by the Inspector or the Engineer upon
recommendation of the Architect or failing to conform to the requirements of the
Contract Documents, whether observed before or after Completion and whether or
not fabricated, installed, or completed. You must bear costs of correcting the
rejected work, including additional testing, inspections, and compensation for the
Inspector's or the Architect's services and expenses made necessary thereby.

5.12 Inspection of the Work of Other Contractors
It will be your duty and each Subcontractor before beginning any of this work, to
examine all construction and work of other Contractors and Subcontractors that may
affect their work and to satisfy himself that everything is in proper condition to
receive his work. He must notify the Engineer in writing of any exception. Failure on
his part to do so will constitute acceptance of the construction as suitable in all ways
to receive his work
5.13 Removal of Rejected and Unauthorized Work
All work that has been rejected must be remedied, or removed and replaced by you
in an acceptable manner, and no compensation will be allowed to you for the
removal, replacement or remedial work.
Any work done beyond that required by the contract or authorized by the Engineer,
will be considered as unauthorized work and will not be paid for. Upon order of the
Engineer, unauthorized work must be remedied, removed or replaced at your
expense.
Upon your failure to comply promptly with any order of the Engineer made under this
Section, the Engineer may cause rejected or unauthorized work to be remedied,
removed or replaced, and to deduct the costs from any moneys due or to become
due to you.
Engineer may retain the cost of the rejected work from any payments due to you
until such time as the work is made acceptable to the Engineer.
5.14 Alternate Methods of Construction
Whenever the plans or specifications provide that more than one specified method
of construction or more than one specified type of material or construction
equipment may be used to perform portions of the work and leave the selection of
the method of construction or the type of material or equipment to be used up to
you, it is understood that the Engineer does not guarantee that every specified
method of construction or type of material or equipment can be used successfully
throughout all or any part of any project. It will be your responsibility to select and
use the alternative or alternatives that will satisfactorily perform the work under the
conditions encountered. In the event some of the alternatives are not feasible or it is
necessary to use more than one of the alternatives on any project, full compensation
for any additional cost involved will be considered as included in the contract price
paid and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
5.15 Differing Site Conditions.
During the progress of the Work, you must promptly, and before the following
conditions are disturbed, notify the Engineer, in writing, of any:
(1) Material that you believe may be material that is hazardous material or
waste, as defined in section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is
required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in
accordance with the provisions of existing law.
(2) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those
CONTROL OF WORK
General Conditions
25
indicated.
(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.
(4) Hidden or buried Cultural Resources of an archaeological nature.
The Engineer must promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the
conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a
decrease or increase in your cost of, or the time required for, performance of any
part of the work he will issue a change order under the procedures described
Section 4.5, “Changes in the Work.”
In the event that a dispute arises between the Engineer and you whether the
conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste or materials, or cause a
decrease or increase in your cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of
the Work, you will not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for
by the Contract Documents, but must proceed with all work to be performed under
the Contract Documents. You must retain any and all rights provided either by
Contract Documents or by law that pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests
between the contracting parties.
5.16 Archaeological Monitoring.
When Archeological monitoring is required for construction operations involving
excavation, such monitoring will be performed by an archaeologist retained by the
Engineer to work in conjunction with the project. The Archaeologist has no authority
to direct your work. Any costs incurred by you resulting from work done at the
direction of the Archaeologist will be your responsibility.
You must give the Engineer written notice 10 days in advance of the date that you
intend to begin excavation to allow for scheduling of the archaeologist. If such date
changes, or if you perform excavation on an intermittent basis, you must notify the
Engineer 2 days in advance of the date that the excavation will be performed.
If remains of an archaeological nature are discovered during excavation, you must
cease work in the area of discovery until the archaeologist can evaluate the
significance of the find.
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the controlling operation is delayed due to
archaeological monitoring, an extension of time, determined pursuant to the
provisions in Section 4.5.6(6), "Allowable Time Extensions", will be granted. If, as a
result of the archeological recovery, you sustain loss which could not have been
avoided by the judicious handling of forces and equipment, you will be paid such
amount as the Engineer may find to be a fair and reasonable compensation for such
part of your actual loss, as, in the opinion of the Engineer, was unavoidable,
determined in the same manner as set forth in Section 4.5.6, "Allowable Costs Upon
Change Orders.”

5.17 Discovery of Asbestos and Hazardous Substances.
When the presence of asbestos or hazardous substances are not shown on the
plans or indicated in the specifications and you encounter materials which you
reasonably believe to be asbestos or a hazardous substance as defined in Section
25914.1 of the Health and Safety Code, and the asbestos or hazardous substance
has not been rendered harmless, you may continue work in unaffected areas
reasonably believed to be safe. You must immediately cease work in the affected
area and report the condition to the Engineer in writing.
In conformance with Section 25914.1 of the Health and Safety Code, removal of
asbestos or hazardous substances including exploratory work to identify and
determine the extent of the asbestos or hazardous substance will be performed by
separate contract.
If delay of work in the area delays the current controlling operation, you will be
compensated for the delay in conformance with the provisions in Section 8.9, "City-
Caused Delays.”
5.18 Hazardous Material Work Limitations.
In the event that the presence of hazardous materials is suspected or discovered on
the Site, the Engineer will retain an independent testing laboratory to determine the
nature of the material encountered and whether corrective measures or remedial
action is required. You will not be required to perform without consent any work in
the affected area of the Site relating to asbestos or other hazardous material, until
any known or suspected hazardous material has been removed, or rendered
harmless, or determined to be harmless by the Engineer, as certified by an
independent testing laboratory and/or approved by the appropriate government
agency.
5.19 City’s/Contractor’s Responsibility for Hazardous Materials on the Work Site.
In the event the presence of hazardous materials on the project site is not caused by
you, the Engineer will pay for all costs of testing and remediation, if any, and will
compensate you for any additional costs incurred or Project delay in accordance
with the applicable provisions herein. In addition, the Engineer must defend,

5.20 Character of Workers.
If, in the judgment of the Engineer, any person is incompetent, disorderly, or fails to
comply with any of the contract provisions after receiving written or oral
communication as to the lack of compliance, you must promptly remove such person
from the project and also must not be reemployed thereon. You must enforce strict
discipline and good order among your employees and other persons carrying out the
Contract including, but not limited to, Subcontractors, and material or equipment
suppliers retained for the Project. You will not permit employment of unfit persons or
persons not skilled in tasks assigned to them.
5.21 Cost Reduction Incentive.
You may submit in writing to the Engineer, proposals for modifying the plans,
specifications or other requirements of the contract for the sole purpose of reducing
the total cost of construction. The cost reduction proposal must not impair, in any
manner, the essential functions or characteristics of the project, including but not
limited to service life, economy of operation, ease of maintenance, desired
appearance, or design and safety standards.
Cost reduction proposals must contain the following information:
(1) A description of both the existing contract requirements for performing the
work and the proposed changes.
(2) An itemization of the contract requirements that must be changed if the
proposal is adopted.
(3) A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the work under the existing
contract and under the proposed change. The estimates of cost must be
determined in the same manner as a change order or extra work as
provided in Section 4.5, "Changes in the Work."
(4) A statement of the time within which the Engineer must make a decision
thereon.
(5) The contract items of work affected by the proposed changes, including
any quantity variation attributable thereto.
The provisions of this Section proposal will not be construed to require the Engineer
to consider any cost reduction which may be submitted hereunder and the Engineer
will not be liable to you for failure to accept or act upon any cost reduction proposal
submitted pursuant to this section nor for any delays to the work attributable to any
cost reduction proposal. If a cost reduction proposal is similar to a change in the
plans or specifications, under consideration by the Engineer for the project, at the
time the proposal is submitted or if the proposal is based upon or similar to Standard
Specifications or Engineering Standards adopted by the Engineer after the
advertisement for the contract, the Engineer will not accept the proposal, and
reserves the right to make the changes without compensation to you under the
provisions of this section.
You will continue to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the
contract until an executed change order, incorporating the cost reduction proposal
CONTROL OF WORK
General Conditions
28
has been issued. If an executed change order has not been issued by the date
upon which your cost reduction proposal specifies that a decision thereon should be
made, or such other date as you may subsequently have specified in writing, the
cost reduction proposal must be deemed rejected.
The Engineer will be the sole judge of the acceptability of a cost reduction proposal
and of the estimated net savings in construction costs from the adoption of all or any
part of the proposal. In determining the estimated net savings, the right is reserved
to disregard the contract bid prices if in the judgment of the Engineer, those prices
do not represent a fair measure of the value of work to be performed or to be
deleted.
The Engineer reserves the right where it deems such action appropriate, to require
you to share in the City's costs of investigating a cost reduction proposal submitted
by you as a condition of considering the proposal. Where this condition is imposed,
you must indicate acceptance thereof in writing, and that acceptance must constitute
full authority for the Engineer to deduct amounts payable to the City from any
moneys due or that may become due to you under the contract.
If your cost reduction proposal is accepted in whole or in part the acceptance will be
by a Change Order, which will specifically state that it is executed pursuant to this
Section. The Change Order must incorporate the changes in the plans and
specifications which are necessary to permit the cost reduction proposal or that part
of it as has been accepted to be put into effect, and must include any conditions
upon which the Engineer’s approval thereof is based if the approval of the Engineer
is conditional. The Change Order must also set forth the estimated net savings in
construction costs attributable to the cost reduction proposal effectuated by the
Change Order, and must further provide that you be paid 50% of that estimated net
savings amount. Your cost of preparing the cost reduction incentive proposal and
the Engineer’s costs of investigating a cost reduction incentive proposal, including
any portion thereof paid by you, will be excluded from consideration in determining
the estimated net savings in construction costs.
Acceptance of the cost reduction proposal and performance of the work thereunder
must not extend the time of completion of the contract unless specifically provided
for in the contract change order authorizing the use of the cost reduction proposal.
The amount specified to be paid to you in the change order that effectuates a cost
reduction proposal must constitute full compensation to you for the cost reduction
proposal and the performance of the work thereof pursuant to the change order.
The Engineer expressly reserves the right to adopt a cost reduction proposal for
general use on contracts administered by the City when it determines that the
proposal is suitable for application to other contracts. When an accepted cost
reduction proposal is adopted for general use, only you who first submitted that
proposal will be eligible for compensation pursuant to this section, and in that case,
only as to those contracts awarded to you prior to submission of the accepted cost
reduction proposal and as to which the cost reduction proposal is also submitted and
accepted. Cost reduction proposals identical or similar to previously submitted
proposals will be eligible for consideration and compensation under the provisions of

General Conditions
29
this Section if the identical or similar previously submitted proposals were not
adopted for general application to other contracts administered by the Department.
Subject to the provisions contained herein, the State or any other public agency will
have the right to use all or any part of any submitted cost reduction proposal without
obligation or compensation of any kind to you.
This Section of the specifications will apply only to contracts awarded to the lowest
bidder pursuant to competitive bidding.

must be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8
hours per day at not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay,
as provided in said Section 1815. Any violations of this article must be
reported to the State Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
7.3.2 Prevailing Wage.
You and any of your subcontractors must comply with Labor Code Sections
1774 and 1775. Pursuant to said Section 1775 you and any of your
subcontractors must forfeit to the City or political subdivision on whose behalf
the contract is made or awarded a penalty of not more than fifty dollars ($50.00)
for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the
prevailing rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the work
or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the
contract by you or by any subcontractor in violation of the requirements of the
Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive. The
amount of this forfeiture will be determined by the Labor Commissioner and will
be based on consideration of the mistake, inadvertence, or neglect of you or
subcontractor in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages, or the
previous record of you or subcontractor in meeting their respective prevailing
wage obligations, or the willful failure by you or subcontractor to pay the correct
rates of prevailing wages. A mistake, inadvertence, or neglect in failing to pay
the correct rate of prevailing wages is not excusable if you or subcontractor had

and pursuant to said Section 1775, the difference between such prevailing wage
rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion
thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate must
be paid to each worker by you.
If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the
general prevailing per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of
the project is not liable for the penalties described above unless the prime
contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified
prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to
comply with all of the following requirements:
(1) The contract executed between you and the subcontractor of the
performance of work on the public works project must include a copy of

specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to the subcontractor’s
employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to
Section 1813 of the Labor Code.
Pursuant to Section 1775 of the Labor Code, the Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement will notify you on a public works project within 15 days of the
receipt by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of a complaint of the
failure of a subcontractor on that public works project to pay workers the
general prevailing rate of per diem wages. If the Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement determines that employees of a subcontractor were not paid the
general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if the Engineer did not retain
sufficient money under the contract to pay those employees the balance of
wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, you must
withhold an amount of moneys due the subcontractor sufficient to pay those
employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if required by the
Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. you will pay any money retained
from and owed to a subcontractor upon receipt of notification by the Division
of Labor Standards Enforcement that the wage complaint has been resolved.
If notice of the resolution of wage complaint has not been received by you
within 180 days of the filing of a valid notice of completion or acceptance of
the public works project, whichever occurs later, you must pay all moneys
retained from the subcontractor to the City. The Engineer will retain these
moneys pending the final decision of an enforcement action.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the Engineer
has obtained the general prevailing rate of wages (which rate includes
employer payments for health and welfare, pension, vacation, travel time, and
subsistence pay as provided for in Section 1773.8 of said Code,
apprenticeship or other training programs authorized by Section 3093 of said
Code, and similar purposes) applicable to the work to be done, for straight
time, overtime, Saturday, Sunday and holiday work. The holiday wage rate
listed must be applicable to all holidays recognized in the collective
bargaining agreement of the particular craft, classification or type of workmen
concerned.
The general prevailing wages rates and any applicable changes to these
wage rates are available at the Public Works Office. General prevailing wage
rates are also available from the California Department of Industrial Relations’
Internet Web Site at: http://www.dir.ca.gov.
The wage rates determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the
project refer to expiration dates. Prevailing wage determinations with a single
asterisk after the expiration date are in effect on the date of advertisement for

with double asterisks after the expiration date indicate that the wage rate to
be paid for work performed after this date has been determined. If work is to
extend past this date, the new rate must be paid and incorporated in the
contract. You must contact the Department of Industrial Relations as
indicated in the wage rate determinations to obtain predetermined wage
changes.
Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the Labor Code, genera prevailing wage rates
must be posted by you at a prominent place at the site of the work.

Code Section 1773.6 and Title 8 California Code of Regulations Section
16204 must apply to the project when issued by the director of Industrial
Relations at least 10 days prior to the date of the Notice to Contractors for the
project
The City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of
the payment by you of any wage rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate
set forth in the contract. The possibility of wage increases is one of the
elements to be considered by you in determining your bid, and will not under
any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City on
the contract.

covered by the local apprenticeship standards. The ratio of work performed
by apprentices to journeymen, who must be employed in the craft or trade on
the Project, may be the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under
which the joint apprenticeship committee operates, but, except as otherwise
provided in this section, in no case will the ratio be less than one (1) hour of
apprentice work for every five (5) hours of labor performed by a journeyman.
However, the minimum ratio for the land surveyor classification will not be
less than one (1) apprentice for each five (5) journeymen.
Any ratio will apply during any day or portion of a day when any journeyman,
or the higher standard stipulated by the joint apprenticeship committee, is
employed at the Site and must be computed on the basis of the hours worked
during the day by journeymen so employed, except for the land surveyor
classification. You will employ apprentices for the number of hours computed
as above before the end of the Contract. However, you must endeavor, to
the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time
period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the
Site. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft
or trade, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of a joint
apprenticeship committee, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one (1)
apprentice for each five (5) journeymen in a craft or trade classification.
You or the Subcontractor, if he or she is covered by this section upon the
issuance of the approval certificate, or if he or she has been previously
approved in the craft or trade, will employ the number of apprentices or the
ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the apprenticeship standards.
Upon proper showing by you that he or she employs apprentices in the craft
or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not
less than one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours of labor
performed by a journeyman, or in the land surveyor classification, one (1)
apprentice for each five (5) journeymen, the Division of Apprenticeship
Standards may grant a certificate exempting you from the one (1)-to-five (5)
hourly ratio as set forth in this section.

This section will not apply to contracts of general contractors or to contracts
of specialty contractors not bidding for work through a general or prime
contractor, when the contracts of general contractors or those specialty
contractors involve less than Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) or twenty
(20) working days. Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight
(8) hours per day or forty (40) hours per week, will not be used to calculate
the hourly ratio required by this section.
"Apprenticeable craft or trade" as used herein means a craft or trade
determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with the rules and
regulations prescribed by the Apprenticeship Council. The joint
apprenticeship committee will have the discretion to grant a certificate, which
will be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship,
exempting you from the one (1)-to-five (5) ratio set forth herein when it finds
that any one of the following conditions is met:
(5) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds
an average of fifteen percent (15%).
(6) The number of apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of one
(1)-to-five (5).
(7) There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at
least one-thirtieth (1/30) of its journeymen annually through the
apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis.
(8) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under this contract
would create a condition which would jeopardize his or her life or the life,
safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large or if the
specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature
that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.
When exemptions are granted to an organization that represents contractors
in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the
member contractors will not be required to submit individual applications for
approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they are already covered
by the local apprenticeship standards.
You to whom the Contract is awarded or any Subcontractor under him or her,

any such craft or trade in the area of the site of the Project, to which fund or
funds other contractors in the area of the site of the Project are contributing,
must contribute to the fund or funds in each craft or trade in which he or she
employs journeymen or apprentices on the Project in the same amount or
upon the same basis and in the same manner as the other contractors do, but
where the trust fund administrators are unable to accept the funds,
contractors not signatory to the trust agreement must pay a like amount to the
California Apprenticeship Council. You or the subcontractor may add the

Pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.7, in the event you or Subcontractor
willfully fails to comply with the provisions of Labor Code section 1777.5, the
Director of Industrial Relations will deny to you or Subcontractor, both
individually and in the name of the business entity under which you or
subcontractor is doing business, the right to bid on, or to receive, any public
works contract for a period of up to one year for the first violation and for a
period of up to three years for the second and subsequent violations. Each
period of debarment will run from the date the determination of
noncompliance by the Administrator of Apprenticeship becomes an order of
the California Apprenticeship Council.
You or the Subcontractor who violates section 1777.5 will forfeit as a civil
penalty the sum of $50 for each calendar day of noncompliance.
Notwithstanding section 1727, upon receipt of a determination that a civil
penalty has been imposed, the awarding body must withhold the amount of
the civil penalty from the contract progress payments then due or to become
due.
In lieu of the penalty provided for in subdivision (1) or (2), the director may for
a first time violation and with the concurrence of the joint apprenticeship
committee, order you or the subcontractor to provide apprentice employment
equivalent to the work hours that would have been provided for apprentices
during the period of noncompliance.
Any funds withheld by the awarding body pursuant to this section must be
deposited in the General Fund if the awarding body is a state entity or in the
equivalent fund of an awarding body if the awarding body is an entity other

in these Contract Documents. It is highly recommended that bidders confer
with their respective insurance carriers or brokers to determine in advance of
bid submission the availability of insurance certificates and endorsements as
prescribed and provided herein. If an apparent low bidder fails to comply
strictly with the insurance requirements, that bidder may be disqualified from
award of the contract.
You must procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance
against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property that may arise
from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by you,
your agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The cost of such
insurance must be included in your bid.
The certificates and endorsements are to be on forms specified by the Engineer
in these Contract Documents. 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 Engineer before the
Engineer will execute the contract. The Engineer reserves the right to require
complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
7.27 Disposal of Material.
If you elect to dispose of materials at locations other than those where arrangements
have been made by the Engineer, or, if material is to be disposed of and the
Engineer has not made arrangements for disposal of the material, you must make
arrangements for disposing of the materials outside the project site and must pay all
costs involved. Arrangements will include, but not be limited to, entering into
agreements with property owners and obtaining necessary permits, licenses and
environmental clearances. Before disposing of any material outside the project site,
you must furnish to the Engineer satisfactory evidence that you have entered into
agreements with the property owners of the site involved and has obtained the
permits, licenses and clearances. All materials must be disposed of in a legal
manner.
LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY
General Conditions
53
In addition to the provisions of this section, your attention is directed to the provisions of
the City of San Luis Obispo's Construction Code and Municipal Code dealing with the
stockpiling of materials in the City limits. All materials must be disposed of in a legal
manner.
7.28 Cooperation and Coordination with Other Contractors.
The Engineer reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with this work.
You must afford other contractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and
storage of their materials and execution of their work and must properly connect and
coordinate your work with theirs.
If any part of your work depends for proper execution or results upon work of any other
contractor, you must inspect and promptly report to Engineer any defects in such work
that render it unsuitable for proper execution and results. Your failure so to inspect and
report will constitute your acceptance of other contractor's work as fit and proper for
reception of your work, except as to defects that may develop in other contractor’s work
after execution of your work.
To insure proper execution of his subsequent work, you must measure and inspect
work already in place and must at one report to the Engineer any discrepancy between
executed work and contract documents.
You must ascertain to your own satisfaction the scope of the project and nature of any
other contracts that have been or may be awarded by City in prosecution of project to
the end that you may perform this contract in the light of such other contracts, if any.
Nothing herein contained will be interpreted as granting to you exclusive occupancy at
site of project. You will not cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to any other
contractor working on project. If simultaneous execution of any contract for project is
likely to cause interference with performance of some other contract or contracts.
Engineer will decide which contractor must cease work temporarily and which
contractor will continue or whether work can be coordinated so that contractors may
proceed simultaneously.
City will not be responsible for any damages suffered or extra costs incurred by you
or any other contractor, subcontractor or workman resulting directly or indirectly from
the award or performance or attempted performance of the contracts awarded for
the completion of the Work, or caused by any decision or omission of the Engineer
respecting the order of precedence in performance of contracts and you agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold City harmless against any claims for such damages or
costs. Should you cause damage to the Work or property of any separate
contractor on the Project, or cause any delay to any such contractor, you must
defend, indemnify and hold City harmless for such damage or delay. The Engineer
reserves the right to back-charge you and all other contractors for the delay or
damage each causes to the other.
7.29 Occupancy by City Prior to Acceptance.
Whenever, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Work, or any part thereof, is in a
condition suitable for use, and the best interest of City requires such use, the
Engineer may take possession of, connect to, open for public use, or use the Work
LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY
General Conditions
54
or such part thereof. Through the issuance of a Contract Change Order, the
Engineer and you must agree as to the responsibilities assigned to each of them for
payments, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, insurance, the
period for correction of the Work, and the commencement of warranties required by
the Contract Documents.
Such occupancy will not constitute acceptance by the Engineer either of the project as
completed or of any portion thereof, nor will it relieve you of your responsibilities under
this Contract, nor act as a waiver by the Engineer of any of the terms and conditions
hereof. Additionally, such occupancy will not relieve you of full responsibility for
correcting defective work or materials found at any time before the formal written
acceptance of the project by the Engineer or during the full guarantee period after such
acceptance. However, when the project includes several separate facilities, and one or
more of such facilities is entirely occupied by the City, then upon written request by you,
the guarantee period for the occupied facility may commence from the date of
occupancy subject to written consent thereto by the Engineer.
7.30 Contractor’s Responsibility for the Work and Materials.
You must take and assume all responsibility for the Work. As between you and City,
you will bear all losses and damages directly or indirectly resulting to you, to City, or
to others on account of the character or performance of the Work.
All persons engaged in the work will be considered your employees. You must give
your personal attention to the fulfillment of the contract and keep all phases of the work
under your control. You must be responsible to the City for the acts and omissions of
your employees and all your Subcontractors, material men and equipment suppliers,
and their agents and employees and other persons performing any of the Work
under contract with you..
When any subcontractor fails to perform a portion of the work in a manner
satisfactory to the Engineer, you must remove such subcontractor immediately upon
written request of the Engineer and such subcontractor will not again be employed
on the project.
The Engineer will not arbitrate disputes among subcontractors nor between you and
one or more subcontractors concerning responsibility for performing any part of the
project.
From the issuance of the official notice to proceed until the formal acceptance of the
project by the Engineer, you must have the charge and care of and will bear the risk
of damage to the project and materials for the project by the action of the elements
or from any other cause whether arising from the execution or from the non-
execution of any work except as otherwise provided in Section 7.29, “Occupancy by
City Prior to Acceptance.”
You, at your own expense, must promptly rebuild, repair, restore, and make good all
such damages to any portion of the project and materials therefore occasioned by
any of such causes before the acceptance of the project by the Engineer except for
such damages as are proximately caused by acts of federal government or public
enemy. In case of suspension of work from any cause whatever, you must be
LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY
General Conditions
55
responsible for all materials, and must properly store them, if necessary, and will
provide suitable drainage and erect temporary structures where necessary.
If you damage any property belonging to the City, Engineer may retain from the
money due to you an amount sufficient to insure repair of the damage.
7.31 Damage by Storm, Flood, Tsunami or Earthquake.
Attention is directed to Section 7.30, "Contractor's Responsibility for the Work and
Materials." In the event damage to the work is caused by a storm, flood, tsunami,
earthquake or other natural disaster which constitutes an "Occurrence," as
hereinafter defined, the provisions in this Section will be applicable, and the you may
apply in writing to the Engineer for the City to pay or participate in the cost of
repairing damage to the work from that cause or, in lieu thereof, and at the sole
discretion of the Engineer, terminate the contract and relieve you of further
obligation to perform the work, subject to the following:
(1) Occurrence - "Occurrence" shall include tsunamis, earthquakes in excess
of a magnitude of 3.5 on the Richter Scale, and storms, floods and other
natural disasters as to which the Governor has proclaimed a state of
emergency when the damaged work is located within the territorial limits
to which the proclamation is applicable or, which were, in the opinion of
the Engineer, of a magnitude at the site of the work sufficient to have
caused such a proclamation had they occurred in a populated area or in
an area in which such a proclamation was not already in effect.
(2) Application by Contractor - Your written request for the City to pay or to
participate in the cost of rebuilding, repairing, restoring or otherwise
remedying the damage to the work caused by the Occurrence must be
submitted to the Engineer before performing any work other than
emergency work, including emergency work necessary to provide for
passage of public traffic.
(3) Protecting the Work from Damage - Nothing in this section will be
construed to relieve you of the responsibility to protect the work from
damage. You must bear the entire cost of repairing damage to the work
caused by the Occurrence which the Engineer determines was due to
your failure to comply with the requirements of the Plans and
Specifications, take reasonable and adequate measures to protect the
work or exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the
conduct of the work, and those repair costs will be excluded from
consideration under the provisions of this section.
(4) Repair Work - Repair of damaged work under the provisions of this
section must be pursuant to a contract change order issued hereunder
and specifying the repair work to be performed on the damaged facility.
The repair work will consist of restoring the in-place construction (for the
purposes of this section erected falsework and formwork will be
considered in-place construction) to the same state of completion to
which the work had advanced prior to the Occurrence. Emergency work
LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY
General Conditions
56
that the Engineer determines would have been part of the repair work if it
had not previously been performed will be considered to be part of the
repair work.
The Engineer reserves the right to make changes in the plans and
specifications applicable to the portions of the work to be repaired, and if
those changes will increase the cost of repairing the damage over the
Engineer’s estimate of the cost of repair without the changes, you will be
paid for the increased costs in accordance with Subsection (5) and the
increased cost amount will not be considered in determining the cost of
repair to be borne by you under Subsection (5).
Nothing in this section will be construed to relieve you of full responsibility
for the risk of injury, loss or damage to materials not yet incorporated in
the work and to materials, tools and equipment (except erected falsework
and formwork) used to perform the work, or to relieve you of responsibility
under Section 7.26, "Indemnification and Insurance." The provisions of
this section will not be applicable to the repair of damage caused by an
Occurrence to any portion of the work as to which you have been granted
relief from maintenance and responsibility pursuant to Section 7.29,
“Occupancy by City Prior to Acceptance.”
(5) Determination of Costs - Unless otherwise agreed between the Engineer
and you, the cost of the work performed pursuant to this Section will be
determined in conformance with the provisions in Section 4.5.6,
"Allowable Costs and Markups for Change Orders and Force Account
Work," except there must be no markup allowance pursuant to
Subsection 4.5.6(4), "Markups of Changed Work," unless the Occurrence
that caused the damage was a tsunami or earthquake. The cost of
emergency work, which the Engineer determines would have been part of
the repair work if it had not previously been performed, will be determined
in the same manner as the authorized repair work. The cost of repairing
damaged work that was not in compliance with the requirements of the
plans and specifications will be borne solely by you, and those costs must
not be considered in determining the cost of repair under this Subsection.
(6) Payment for Repair Work - When the Occurrence that caused the
damage was a tsunami or earthquake, the State will pay the cost of repair
determined as provided in Subsection (5), that exceeds 5% of the amount
of your bid for bid comparison purposes.
When the Occurrence that caused the damage was a storm, flood or
other natural disaster, the State will participate in the cost of the repair
determined as provided in Subsection (5) in accordance with the
following:
a. On projects for which the amount of your bid for bid comparison
purposes is $2,000,000 or less, the City will pay 90% of the cost of
repair that exceeds 5% of the amount of your bid for bid comparison

57
purposes.
b. On projects for which your bid for bid comparison purposes is greater
than $2,000,000, the City will pay 90% of the cost of repair that
exceeds $100,000.
(7) Termination of Contract - If the Department elects to terminate the
contract, the termination and the determination of the total compensation
payable to you will be governed by the provisions of Section 8.11,
"Termination of Contract."
7.32 Acceptance of Contract.
When the Engineer has made the final inspection, and determines that the contract
work has been completed in all respects in accordance with the plans and
specifications, the Engineer will formally accept the contract, and immediately upon
and after such acceptance by the Engineer, you will be relieved of the duty of
maintaining and protecting the work as a whole, and will not be required to perform
any further work thereon; and you will be relieved of his responsibility for injury to
persons or property or damage to the work which occurs after the Formal
Acceptance.
7.33 Property Rights in Materials.
Nothing in the contract must be construed as vesting in you any property right in the
materials or equipment after they have been attached to or permanently placed in or
upon the work or the soil or after payment has been made for 50% or more of the
value of the materials or equipment delivered to the site of the work whether or not
they have been so attached or placed. All such materials or equipment will become
the property of the City of San Luis Obispo upon being so attached or placed or
upon payment of 50% or more of the value of the materials or equipment delivered
on the site but not yet installed and you warrant that all such property must pass to
the City free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances.
7.34 Rights in Land and Improvements.
Nothing in these specifications must be construed as allowing you to make any
arrangements with any person to permit occupancy or use of any land, structure, or
building within the limits of the contract for any purpose whatsoever, either with or
without compensation, in conflict with any agreement between the City and any
owner, former owner, or tenant of the land, structure, or building.
7.35 Contractor's Use of Site and Public Right-of-Way.
You must confine all apparatus, material, and equipment required in the
performance of this Agreement to the limits indicated by law, ordinances, permits, or
directions of the Engineer, and will not unreasonably encumber the premises
therewith. Material and equipment must be brought and used upon the premises in
such manner as to leave driveways and parking areas for regular use of the public
and employees of City.
You must not unnecessarily, in the judgment of the Engineer, obstruct or otherwise
interfere with travel over any public streets, way or sidewalk, nor will you store,

stockpile or place thereon any equipment, materials or supplies without first
obtaining the authorization of the Engineer, and then only within such limits as the
Engineer may designate.
Those parts of public streets, ways and sidewalks that are occupied by you must be
immediately vacated by you and returned to public use when your use thereof is no
longer necessary for the prosecution of the Work.
The City and their agents must at all times have complete access to the Work
wherever it is in preparation and progress. When directed by the Engineer, you
must provide facilities for such access so that the City and their agents may observe
the Work and perform necessary or desired inspections, monitoring, and testing to
assure compliance with the Contract Documents.

All Drawings, Specifications and copies furnished are and must remain property of
the City. They are to be used with respect to this project and are not to be used on
any other project. With the exception of one contract set for each party to the
Agreement, such documents are to be returned or suitably accounted for to the
Engineer on request at completion of the Work. Submission or distribution to meet
official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with the Project
is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the City 's common law
copyright or other reserved rights. Neither you nor any Subcontractor, Sub-
subcontractor, or material or equipment supplier will own or claim a copyright in the
Drawings, Specifications, and other documents prepared by the Architect, and
unless otherwise indicated the Architect must be deemed the author of them. You,
Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and material or equipment suppliers are
granted a limited license to use and reproduce applicable portions of the Drawings,
Specifications, and other documents prepared by the Architect appropriate to and for
use in the execution of their work under the Contract Documents.
7.38 Guarantee.
You hereby unconditionally guarantee the work under this contract to be in
conformance with the contract requirements and to be and remain free of defects in
workmanship and materials for a period of 1 year from the date of Formal
Acceptance of the project pursuant to Section 9.7.2, unless a longer guarantee
period is stipulated in the Contract Documents. By this guarantee you agree, within
the guarantee period, to repair or replace any work, together with any adjacent work
which may be displaced in so doing which is not in accordance with the

keep the work under your control.
If you will subcontract any of the Work under this Contract, You are as fully
responsible to City for the acts and omissions of his subcontractor and of the
persons either directly or indirectly employed by his subcontractor, as he is

subcontractor will be recognized as such, and all persons engaged in the
work of construction will be considered as your employees and you will be
held responsible for their work, which must be subject to the provisions of the
contract and specifications.
Nothing contained in this Contract will create any contractual relation between
any subcontractor and City. You must bind every subcontractor (and every
subcontractor of a subcontractor) by the terms of this Contract applicable to
his work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract in
question and approved in writing by Engineer.
Subcontracts must include provisions that the contract between the City and
you are a part of the subcontract, and that all terms and provisions of the
contract are incorporated in the subcontract. Subcontracts must also contain

qualified to do, and knowledgeable about, the subcontracted work. Copies of
subcontracts must be available to the Engineer upon written request, and
must be provided to the Engineer at the time any litigation against the City
concerning the project is filed.

If, through acts of neglect on your part, any other contractor, subcontractor or
workman will suffer loss or damage on the Work, You agree to settle with
such other contractor, subcontractor or workman by agreement or arbitration.

against City on account of any damage alleged to have been so sustained,
Engineer must notify you, who must defend, indemnify and save harmless
City against such claim.
8.1.3 Assignment of Subcontracts.
Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the work will be assigned by you

under any bond relating to the Agreement.
8.1.4 Substitution of Subcontractor.
In accordance with Public Contract Code 4107 and 4107.5, a prime
Contractor whose bid is accepted must not:
(1) Permit a subcontract to be voluntarily assigned or transferred or allow it
to be performed by anyone other than the original subcontractor listed in
the original bid, without the consent of the awarding body or its authorized
officer.
(2) Sublet or subcontract any portion of the work in excess of ½% of your
total bid as to which his or her original bid did not designate a
subcontractor, other than in the performance of Change Orders causing
changes or deviations from the original contract.
(3) Substitute any person or entity as a Subcontractor in place of the
Subcontractor designated in the original bid except in the following
situations when authorized by the awarding body or its authorized officer.

the awarding authority will be void, and the assignees will acquire no
rights in the Contract. Any consent, if given, must not relieve you from
your obligations under the terms of the Contract Documents.
a. When the Subcontractor listed in the bid after having a reasonable
opportunity to do so, fails or refuses to execute a written Contract
when that written Contract, based upon the general terms, conditions,
plans and specifications for the Project involved or the terms of that
Subcontractor’s written bid, is presented to the Subcontractor by the
prime contractor.
b. When the listed Subcontractor becomes bankrupt or insolvent;
c. When the listed Subcontractor fails or refuses to perform his or her
Subcontract;

listing of a Subcontractor, must, pursuant to Public Contract Code 4107.5,
within 2 working days after the time of the prime bid opening by the awarding
authority, give written notice to the awarding authority and copies of such
notice to both the Subcontractor it claims to have listed in error, and the
intended Subcontractor who had bid to you prior to bid opening. Any listed
Subcontractor who has been notified by you in accordance with the

the awarding authority and to you written objection to the your claim of
inadvertent clerical error.
In other cases not involving a clerical error, you must make a request in

Subcontractor will have 5 working days from the date of such notice within
which to file with the awarding authority written objections to the substitution.
Failure to file written objections pursuant to the provisions of this section
within the times specified herein must constitute a waiver of objection to the
substitution by the listed Subcontractor and, where the ground for substitution
is an inadvertent clerical error, an agreement by the listed Subcontractor that
an inadvertent clerical error was made.
If written objections are filed, the awarding authority must give five 5 working
days’ notice to you and to the listed Subcontractor of a hearing by the
awarding authority on your request for substitution as provided in Public
Contract Code 4107. Failure in the part of the listed Subcontractor to appear
at the hearing will constitute a waiver of objection to the substitution. The
determination by the awarding authority will be final.
8.1.6 No Change in Contract.

Contract Price or result in the granting of any extension of time for the
completion of the Project.

8.2 Assignment.
The performance of the contract may not be assigned, except upon the written
consent of the Engineer. Consent will not be given to any proposed assignment that
would relieve the original Contractor, or your surety, of the responsibilities under the

to a prior lien for services rendered or material supplied for performance of the Work
called for under this Contract in favor of all persons, firms, or corporations rendering
such services or supplying such materials, and a further provision that said

Should you begin work in advance of receiving notice that the contract has been
executed as above provided, any work performed by you in advance of the said
date of execution will be considered as having been done by you at your own
risk and as a volunteer.
8.4 Progress Schedule.
The progress schedule must be in accordance with this section and as addressed in
Division 1 of these Contract Documents. You must submit to the Engineer a realistic
progress schedule before work begins and monthly updates there after showing the
status of the preceding months completed work.

Subsequent to the time that submittal of a progress schedule is required in
accordance with these specifications, no progress payments will be made for any
work until a satisfactory schedule has been submitted to the Engineer.
Failure to comply with the schedule requirements as called for in these Contract
Documents will prejudice the Engineer of its right to manage the project duration and
any impacts for added or stated work. Liquidated Damages in the amount of $200
per day will be deducted from the contract for your failure to comply with the
schedule requirements.
You will not be entitled to any additional compensation associated with time impacts
to the schedule if the schedule requirements have not been met.
Failure by you to comply with the schedule requirements as called for in these
Contract Documents constitutes a default by you of its obligations under this
Contract sufficient for termination of you if it is determined to be in the best interest
of the City.
8.5 Temporary Suspension of Work.
The Engineer will have the authority to suspend the work wholly or in part, for such
period as may be deemed necessary, due to such conditions as are considered
unfavorable for the prosecution of the work, or for such time as may be deemed
necessary due to the failure on your part to carry out orders given, or to perform any
provision of the contract. You must immediately comply with the written order of the
Engineer to suspend the work wholly or in part. The suspended work must be
resumed when conditions are favorable and methods are corrected, as ordered or
approved in writing by the Engineer.
If a suspension of work is ordered by the Engineer, due to the failure on your part to
carry out orders given or to perform any provision of the contract, the days on which the
suspension order is in effect must be considered contract days.
If the Engineer orders a suspension of all of the work or a portion of the work which
is the current controlling operation or operations, due conditions considered
unfavorable to the suitable prosecution of the work, the days on which the
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
General Conditions
65
suspension is in effect will not be considered contract days. If a portion of work at
the time of the suspension is not a current controlling operation or operations, but
subsequently does become the current controlling operation or operations, the
consideration for a time extension will be made on the basis of the then current
controlling operation or operations.
In addition to the requirements specified above, the following must apply:
If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by
the Engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally
anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and you believe
that additional compensation or contract time or additional compensation and
contract time is due as a result of that suspension or delay, you must submit to
the Engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt
of the notice to resume work. The request must set forth the reasons and
support for the adjustment.
Upon receipt, the Engineer will evaluate your request. If the Engineer agrees
that the cost or time or cost and time required for the performance of the
contract has increased as a result of the suspension and the suspension was
caused by conditions beyond the control of and not your fault, its suppliers, or
subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the Engineer
will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing
accordingly. The Engineer will notify you of the Engineers determination
whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
No contract adjustment will be allowed unless you have submitted the request
for adjustment within the time prescribed.
No contract adjustment will be allowed under the provisions specified in this
section to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed
by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided for or excluded under
any term or condition of this contract.
Any contract adjustment warranted due to suspension of work ordered by the
Engineer will be made in the same manner as provided for delays in Section 8.9,
"City-Caused Delays."
In the event of a suspension of work under any of the conditions set forth in this
Section, the suspension of work must not relieve you of the responsibilities as set
forth in Chapter 7, "Legal Relations and Responsibility."
8.6 Time of Completion.
You must complete all or any designated portion of the work called for under the
contract in all parts and requirements within the time set forth in the Notice to
Bidders plus any extensions granted by approved Change Order.
The Engineer will furnish the current status of the working days: total days, days
used, days remaining, as part of the progress payment each month. You are
responsible to verify the days are correctly shown on the pay estimate. If you
believe an error has been made, you must notify the Engineer in writing within 15
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
General Conditions
66
days of receipt of the progress payment, or the statement of days will be deemed to
have been accepted as correct by you.
8.7 Adjustment of Contract Time and Allowable Time Extensions.
Any unresolved disputes and/or claims arising under this section will be resolved
pursuant to Section 7.8.3, “Final Payment and Claims.”
8.7.1 Changes in Work.
For any change in the work, you will be entitled only to such adjustments in
time by which completion of the entire work is delayed due to performance of
the changed work. However, no extension of time will be granted for a
change in the Work unless you demonstrate, through a revised critical path
schedule, to the satisfaction of the Engineer that he is making, or has made,
every reasonable effort to guarantee completion of the additional work called
for by the change within the time originally allotted for the contract. Any
additional costs to you resulting from such efforts necessary to complete the
work without the allowance of additional time will be considered in arriving at
the price for the change in the work.
Adjustment in contract time will be on a calendar day basis, except that if the
new contract completion date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it
will be extended through the next full working day.
8.7.2 Acts of God and Unusual Action of the Elements.
You will not be assessed contract days during any delay in the completion of
the project caused by acts of God, the public enemy, fire flood, epidemic,
quarantine restriction, strike, freight embargo, or unusual action of the
elements; provided that you must notify the Engineer in writing of the causes
of delay within fifteen (15) calendar days from the beginning of any such
delay. The Engineer will determine the facts with regard to the delay and
determine a reasonable period of time by which the date of completion will be
extended by reason thereof. The findings of the Engineer will be final and
conclusive.
The term "Unusual Action of the Elements" is limited to extraordinary adverse
weather conditions or conditions immediately resulting therefrom that cause a
cessation in the progress of the work that will delay the time of completion of
the Contract. The term "usual action of the elements" is defined as weather
that exceeds the California Polytechnic State University’s twenty-year
average for rain days and rain amounts for San Luis Obispo.
You will have no right to an adjustment in the time of completion due to
weather conditions that are normal for the locality of the site. The time period
for completion of the project has been determined with consideration given to
the twenty-year average climatic range prevailing in the locality of the site.
You must be responsible for proving that climatic conditions both exceeded
the twenty-year average and also affected the critical path of the project.
"Mud" days will be considered a normal occurrence; you must not be allowed
any extension for delays due to "mud" days.

8.7.3 Acts of the City and Emergency Changes.
If you are delayed in completing the work by reason of any act of the City or
its Agents not provided by the contract, or by reason of changes made
pursuant to Section 4.5.8, “Emergency Changes.” without agreement being
reached as to any time adjustments, the time for completion of the work will
be extended for a period commensurate in the Engineer’s opinion with the
delay. You must notify the Engineer in writing of the causes of the delay
within the time period specified above which should be subject to the same
determinations as above stated.
No extension of time will be granted for any of the causes for which
extensions are granted unless you demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Engineer that you have made every reasonable effort to complete all work
under the contract not later than the date prescribed or as soon as possible
thereafter, notwithstanding delay in the work due to any such cause.
8.7.4 City’s Right to Extend.
Even though you have no right to an extension of time for completion, the
Engineer may extend the time at your request if the Engineer determines it to
be in the best interest of the City. If the time is extended, the Engineer may
charge you, its heirs, assigns, or sureties, and deduct from the final extended
payment for the work all or any part, as the Engineer may deem proper, of
the value of the lost use of the completed project, and of the actual cost to the
City of engineering, inspection, project coordination, superintendence, and
other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the contract, and
which accrue during the period of such extension.
8.7.5 Procurement of Materials.
No extension of time will be granted for a delay caused by a shortage of
materials unless you furnish to the Engineer documentary proof that you have
made every effort to obtain such materials from all known sources within
reasonable reach of the work in a diligent and timely manner, and further
proof, in the form of a revised critical path schedule, that the inability to obtain
such materials when originally planned, did in fact cause a delay in final
completion of the entire work which could not have been avoided by revising
the sequence of your operations. The term "shortage of materials," as used
in this section, will apply only to materials, parts, articles or equipment which
are standard items and are made, constructed, fabricated or manufactured to
meet the specific requirements of the contract. Only the physical shortage of
material will be considered under these provisions as a cause for extension of
time. Delays in obtaining materials due to priority in filling orders will not
constitute a shortage of materials.
8.7.6 Delays Due to Litigation.
Should the Engineer be prevented or enjoined from proceeding with work
either before or after the start of construction by reason of any litigation or
other reason beyond their control, You will not be entitled to make or assert
claim for damage by reason of said delay; but time for completion of the work
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
General Conditions
68
will be extended to such reasonable time as the Engineer may determine.
Any such determination will be set forth in writing.
8.8 Liquidated Damages.
It is agreed by the parties to the contract that in case all the work called for under
the contract in all parts and requirements is not finished or completed within the
contract time as set forth in these Contract Documents, damage will be sustained by
the City, and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain
and determine the actual damage which the City will sustain in the event of and by
reason of such delay; and it is therefore agreed that you will pay to the City of San
Luis Obispo the sum set forth in the Notice to Bidder’s for each and every calendar
days delay in finishing the work in excess of the number of contract days prescribed.
You agree to pay said liquidated damages herein provided for, and further agrees
that the Engineer may deduct the amount thereof from any moneys due or that may
become due you under the contract.
It is further agreed that in case the work called for under the contract is not finished
and completed in all parts and requirements within the number of working days
specified, the Engineer will have the right to increase the number of working days or
not, as may be deemed best to serve the interest of the City, and if the Engineer
decides to increase the contract time, the Engineer will further have the right to you,
his heirs, assigns or sureties and to deduct from the final payment for the work all or
any part, as may be deemed proper, of the actual cost of engineering, inspection,
superintendence, and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the
contract, and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that cost of
final surveys and preparation of final estimate will not be included in such charges.
You must not be charged liquidated damages because of any delays in the
completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without
the fault or negligence of you (including, but not restricted to, acts of God, the public
enemy, fire, flood, epidemic, quarantine restriction, strike, labor disputes, freight
embargo, or an unusual action of the elements) provided you will, within fifteen (15)
calendar days from the beginning of any such delay, notify Engineer in writing of the
cause of the delay; whereupon the Engineer must ascertain the facts and the extent
of the delay and extend the time for completing the Work when in its judgment the
findings of fact justify such an extension. The Engineer’s findings of fact thereon will
be final and conclusive on the parties hereto
8.9 City-Caused Delays.
If, through delays caused by the City, you sustain loss which could not have been
avoided by the judicious handling of forces and equipment, there must be paid to
you that amount that the Engineer may find to be a fair and reasonable
compensation for that part your actual loss, that, in the opinion of the Engineer, was
unavoidable, determined as follows:
Compensation for idle time of equipment will be determined in the same manner
as determinations are made for equipment used in the performance of force
account work, as provided in Subsection 4.5.6(3), "Equipment," with the
following exceptions:
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
General Conditions
69
(1) The “delay factor” for each classification of equipment shown in the
Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge And
Equipment Rental Rates, which is a part of the contract, will be applied to that
equipment rental rate.
(2) The time for which the compensation will be paid will be the actual normal
working time during which the delay condition exists, but in no case will exceed
8 hours in any one day.
(3) 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.
Actual loss must be understood to include no items of expense other than idle
time of equipment and necessary payments for idle time of workers, cost of
extra moving of equipment and cost of longer hauls. Compensation for idle time
of equipment will be determined as provided in this Section and compensation
for idle time of workers will be determined as provided in Section 4.5.6(1),
"Labor," and no markup will be added in either case for overhead and profit.
The cost of extra moving of equipment and the cost of longer hauls will be paid
for as force account work as provided in Section 4.5.6.
If performance of your work is delayed as the result of the City, an extension of time
will be granted pursuant to the provisions in Section 8.7.3, "Acts of the City and
Emergency Changes."
8.10 Utilities and Site Facilities.
8.10.1 General.
It will be your sole responsibility to timely notify all public and private utilities
serving the Site prior to commencing work. You must notify and receive
clearance from any cooperative agency, such as Underground Service Alert,
in accordance with Government Code section 4216, et seq. You must provide
a copy of all such notifications to the Engineer. You will protect from damage,
utility and other facilities that are to remain in place, be installed, relocated or
otherwise rearranged.
The City of San Luis Obispo is not responsible for any damages, costs, delay
and expenses to you resulting from a third party (not City-owned)
underground facility operator’s failure to comply with the stipulations as set
forth in 4216.7.(c) of California Government Code.
You are cautioned that the utilities encountered at the site may include
communication cables or electrical cables conducting high voltage. When
excavating in the vicinity of the ducts enclosing such cables, special
precautions are to be observed by you at your own cost and will include the
following: All cables and their enclosure ducts must be exposed by careful
hand excavation so as not to damage the ducts or cables nor cause injury to
persons, and suitable warning signs, barricades, and safety devices must be
erected whenever necessary or appropriate.

8.10.2 Utilities Identified for Rearrangement.
It is anticipated that some or all of the utility and other facilities, both above
ground and below ground, that are required to be rearranged (as used herein,
rearrangement includes installation, relocation, alteration or removal) as a
part of the project will be rearranged in advance of construction operations.
Where it is not anticipated that the rearrangement will be performed prior to
construction, or where the rearrangement must be coordinated with your
construction operations, the existing facilities that are to be rearranged will be
indicated on the plans or specifications. Where a rearrangement is indicated
on the plans or in the specifications, you will have no liability for the costs of
performing the work involved in the rearrangement.
The right is reserved to the Engineer and the owners of facilities, or their
authorized agents, to enter upon the project site for the purpose of making
those changes that are necessary for the rearrangement of their facilities or
for making necessary connections or repairs to their properties. You must
cooperate with forces engaged in this work and will conduct operations in
such a manner as to avoid any unnecessary delay or hindrance to the work
being performed by the other forces. Wherever necessary your work must be
coordinated with the rearrangement of utility or other facilities, and you must
make arrangements with the owner of those facilities for the coordination of
the work
No additional compensation will be allowed to you if you are required to work
around the utility facilities that were identified in the Contract Documents to
be rearranged. However, if your work is delayed due to the utility
rearrangement, an extension of time, agreeable to both you and the
Engineer, will be granted.
8.10.3 Unidentified/Inaccurately Identified Utilities.
Attention is directed to the possible existence of underground main or trunk
line facilities not indicated on the plans or specifications and to the possibility
that underground main or trunk lines may be in a location different from that
which is indicated on the plans or in the specifications. You must ascertain
the exact location of underground main or trunk lines whose presence is
indicated on the plans or specifications, the location of their service laterals or
other appurtenances of any other underground facilities which can be inferred
from the presence of visible facilities such as buildings, meters and junction
boxes prior to doing work that may damage any of the facilities or interfere
with their service.
In accordance with Government Code 4215, the City assumes responsibility
for the removal, relocation and protection of existing main or trunkline utilities
located on the site of the construction project if such utilities were not
identified in the plans and specifications with reasonable accuracy. You will
not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in the completion of the project
which is caused by the failure of the City or the owner of the utility to provide
for removal or relocation of such unidentified utility facilities.
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
General Conditions
71
If you cannot locate an underground facility whose presence is indicated on
the plans or in the specifications, you must so notify the Engineer in writing. If
the facility for which the notice is given is in a substantially different location
from that indicated on the plans or in the specifications, the additional cost of
locating the facility will be paid for as force account work as provided in
Section 4.5.4.
If you discover underground main or trunk lines not indicated on the plans or
in the specifications, you must immediately give the Engineer and the Utility
Company written notification of the existence of those facilities. The main or
trunk lines must be located and protected from damage as directed by the
Engineer, and the cost of that work will be paid for as force account work as
provided in Section 4.5. You must, if directed by the Engineer, repair any
damage that may occur to the main or trunk lines. The cost of that repair
work, not due to your to exercise reasonable care, will be paid for as force
account work as provided in Section 4.5.6. Damage due to your failure to
exercise reasonable care will be repaired at your cost and expense.
Where it is determined by the Engineer that the rearrangement of an
underground facility is essential in order to accommodate the project and the
plans and specifications do not provide that the facility is to be rearranged,
the Engineer will provide for the rearrangement of the facility by other forces
or the rearrangement will be performed by you and will be paid for as force
account work as provided in Section 4.5.6.
When ordered by the Engineer in writing, you must rearrange any utility or
site facility necessary to be rearranged as a part of the project, and that work
will be paid for as extra work as provided in Section 4.5.6.
Should you desire to have any rearrangement made in any utility facility, or
other improvement, your convenience in order to facilitate your construction
operations, which rearrangement is in addition to, or different from, the
rearrangements indicated on the plans and specifications, you must make
whatever arrangements are necessary with the owners of the utility or other
site facility for the rearrangement and bear all expenses in connection
therewith.
You must immediately notify the Engineer of any delays to your operations as
a direct result of underground main or trunk line facilities which were not
indicated on the plans or in the specifications or were located in a position
substantially different from that indicated on the plans or in the specifications,
or as a direct result of utility or other site facilities not being rearranged as
herein provided (other than delays in connection with rearrangements made
to facilitate your construction operations or delays due to a strike or labor
dispute). These delays will be considered City-caused delays within the
meaning of Section 8.9,"City-Caused Delays.," and compensation for the
delay will be determined in conformance with the provisions of said section.
You will be entitled to no other compensation for that delay.
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
General Conditions
72
Any delays to your operations as a direct result of utility or other site facilities
not being rearranged as provided in this Section, due to a strike or labor
dispute, will entitle your to an extension of time as provided in Section 8.8,
“Liquidated Damages..” You will be entitled to no other compensation for that
delay.
8.11 Termination of Contract.
8.11.1 Termination of Contract for Cause.
If you should:
(1) be adjudged as bankrupt, or

work with the diligence and force specified by the contract
(6) fail to make prompt payment to subcontractors or for material or for labor,
or
(7) persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the
Engineer,
then the Engineer, upon the determination that sufficient cause exists to
justify such action, may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, give
written notice to you and his Surety of its intention to terminate the Contract,
and unless within 7 calendar days after the giving of such notice such
violation must cease and satisfactory arrangements for correction thereof be
made, the Contract must, upon expiration of said 7 calendar days, cease and
terminate. In the event of any such termination, Engineer must immediately
give written notice thereof to the Surety and you, and the Surety will have the
right to take over and perform the Contract, provided, however, that if the
Surety within the 10 calendar days after the giving of notice of termination
does not give the Engineer written notice of its intention to take over and
perform the Contract or does not commence performance thereof within the
10 calendar days stated above from the date of the giving of such notice, the
Engineer may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by
contract or by any other method it may deem advisable, for the account and
at your expense, and you and his Surety will be liable to City for any excess
cost occasioned by the Engineer thereby, and in such event the Engineer
may without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing
the work, such as may be on the site of the Work and necessary therefore
and complete the work by whatever reasonable method the Engineer may
deem expedient. In such cases you will not be entitled to receive any further
payment until the work is finished.

be paid to you, or City, as the case may be, will be certified by the City
Representative upon application. This payment obligation will survive
completion of the Project.
8.11.2 Termination of Contract for Convenience.
The Engineer may terminate the contract when termination is authorized by
provisions of the contract, or for discovery of unforeseen or unusual
conditions or at any time upon a determination by the Engineer that
termination of the contract is in the best interest of the Engineer.
If the Engineer elects to terminate the contract, the termination of the contract
and the total compensation payable to you will be governed by the following:
(1) The Engineer will issue you a written notice signed by the awarding body,
specifying that the contract be terminated. Upon receipt of the written
notice, you will be relieved of further responsibility for damage to the work
(excluding materials) as specified in Section 7.30, "Contractor’s
Responsibility for the Work and Materials.," and, except as otherwise
directed in writing by the Engineer, you must:
a. Stop all work under the contract except that specifically directed to be
completed prior to acceptance.
b. Perform work the Engineer deems necessary to secure the project for
termination.
c. Remove equipment from the site of the work.
d. Take action that is necessary to protect materials from damage.
e. Notify all subcontractors and suppliers that the contract is being
terminated and that their contracts or orders are not to be further
performed unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Engineer.
f. Provide the Engineer with an inventory list of all materials previously
produced, purchased or ordered from suppliers for use in the work
and not yet used in the work, including its storage location, and such
other information as the Engineer may request.
g. Dispose of materials not yet used in the work as directed by the
Engineer. It must be your responsibility to provide the Engineer with
good title to all materials purchased by the City hereunder, including
materials for which partial payment has been made and with bills of
sale or other documents of title for those materials.
h. Subject to the prior written approval of the Engineer, settle all
outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of subcontracts or
orders for materials terminated hereunder. To the extent directed by
the Engineer, you must assign to the Engineer all your right, title and
interest under subcontracts or orders for materials terminated
hereunder.

i. Furnish the Engineer with the documentation required to be furnished
by you under the provisions of the contract including, on projects as
to which Federal funds are involved, all documentation required
under the Federal requirements included in the contract.
j. Take other actions directed by the Engineer.
(2) Acceptance of the contract as hereinafter specified must not relieve you
of responsibility for damage to materials. You must continue to be
responsible for damage to materials after issuance of the Notice of
Termination, except as follows:
a. Your responsibility for damage to materials for which partial payment
has been made and for materials furnished by the City for use in the
work and unused will terminate when the Engineer certifies that those
materials have been stored in the manner and at the locations the
Engineer has directed.
b. Your responsibility for damage to materials purchased by the City
subsequent to the issuance of the notice that the contract is to be
terminated must terminate when title and delivery of those materials
has been taken by the Engineer.
When the Engineer determines that you have completed the work under
the contract directed to be completed prior to termination and such other
work as may have been ordered to secure the project for termination, the
Engineer will formally accept the contract, and immediately upon and
after the acceptance by the Engineer, you will not be required to perform
any further work thereon and will be relieved of the contractual
responsibilities for injury to persons or property which occurs after the
formal acceptance of the project.
(3) Termination of the contract will not relieve the Surety of its obligation for
any just claims arising out of the work performed.
(4) The total compensation to be paid shallot you will be determined by the
Engineer on the basis of the following:
a. The reasonable cost to you, without profit, for all work performed
under the contract, including mobilization, demobilization and work
done to secure the project for termination. In determining the
reasonable cost, deductions will be made for the cost of materials to
be retained by you, amounts realized by the sale of materials, and for
other appropriate credits against the cost of the work. Deductions will
also be made, when the contract is terminated under the authority of
Section 7.31, "Damage by Storm, Flood, Tsunami or Earthquake.,"
for the cost of materials damaged by the "occurrence."
When, in the opinion of the Engineer, the cost of a contract item of
work is excessively high due to costs incurred to remedy or replace
defective or rejected work, the reasonable cost to be allowed will be
the estimated reasonable cost of performing that work in compliance
with the requirements of the plans and specifications and the
excessive actual cost will be disallowed.

provided further, that the profit allowed must in no event exceed 4%
of the cost.
c. The reasonable cost to you of handling material returned to the
vendor, delivered to the Engineer or otherwise disposed of as
directed by the Engineer.
d. A reasonable allowance for your administrative costs in determining
the amount payable due to termination of the contract.
All records of you and your subcontractors, necessary to determine
compensation in conformance with the provisions in this Section, will be
open to inspection or audit by representatives of the City at all times after
issuance of the notice that the contract is to be terminated and for a
