Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by any act or omission of the City, the Director of Public Works, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative of any of them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with the requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and filed with the City within three (3) working days of the date of occurrence of the act or omission preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents.

d. City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement and further agree that if the work called for under the Agreement is not completed within the time hereinabove specified, damages will be sustained by the City and that, it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual amount of damages the City will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such delay. It is, therefore, agreed that such damages shall be presumed to be in the amount of Five hundred dollars ($500) per calendar day, and that the Contractor will pay to the City, or City may retain from amounts otherwise payable to Contractor, such amount for each calendar day by which the Contractor fails to complete the work, including corrective items of work, under this Agreement within the time hereinabove specified and as adjusted by any changes to the work.

4. Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to the work, or suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or suspensions are within the contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a compensable delay claim against the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damages claims against the Contractor.

Any change to the work shall be by way of a written instrument (“change order”) signed by the City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:

a. The scope of the change in the work;

b. The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and

c. The extent of the adjustment to the Schedule of Performance.

The Director of Public Works is authorized to sign any change order provided that sufficient contingency funds are available in the City’s approved budget for the Project. All change in the work

D-4

authorized by the change order shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Project Documents. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously as possible the appropriate adjustments for such changes.

5. Bonds. Contractor shall provide, before commencing work, a Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each for one-hundred percent (100%) of the contract price in the form that complies with the Project Documents and is satisfactory to the City Attorney.

6. Non-Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, title, interest, duties or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by Contractor without the prior written consent of City.

7. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it holds the contractor’s license or licenses set forth in the Project Documents, is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5 as of March 1, 2015, and holds such other licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Contractor. Contractor represents and warrants to City that Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Contractor to practice its profession. Contractor shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.

8. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

a. Contractor and all subcontractors shall adhere to the general prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined and as published by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770, 1773, and 1773.2. Copies of these rates and the latest revisions thereto are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Lake Elsinore and are available for review upon request.

d. Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires Contractor or subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee nearest the site of the public works project, which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Agreement.

Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. Labor Code Section 1777.6 provides that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age.

e. Eight hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work, as set forth in Labor Code Section 1810.

23. Execution.

E-9

2-1.4 Proposal Form and Submittal Bidder’s Proposal shall be submitted, on the City’s forms included hereinbefore, to the City Clerk of the City of Lake Elsinore. If the Bidder’s Proposal is made by an individual, it shall be signed and his full name and post office address shall be given; if made by a partnership, it shall be signed with the partnership name by one of the partners, who shall sign his own name, and in addition, the name and address of each partner shall be give; if it is made by a corporation, it shall be signed by the president or vice-president, plus the secretary or assistant secretary, and the names and titles of all officers of the corporation shall be given. If the Bidder is making a change on the Bidder’s Proposal prior to submission of the bid, the Bidder is to line through the existing script, add the revision, and initial. The complete Bidder’s Proposal, of these Contract documents, shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope, addressed as follows, City Clerk, City of Lake Elsinore, 130 South Main Street, Lake Elsinore California 92530, endorsed with the Bidder’s company name and address on the upper left corner, at the front of the envelope, the project number, name of project, hour and date of Bid opening as specified in Notice Inviting Bids and the words “SEALED BID, DO NOT OPEN WITH REGULAR MAIL”. Bidder’s Proposals not received by the City Clerk of the City of Lake Elsinore by the time and date set forth in the Notice Inviting Bids, shall be declared late and returned unopened to the Bidder. The Bidder is solely responsible for the timely delivery of the “Bidders Proposal.” 2-1.5 Proposal Guarantee All Bidder’s Proposals shall be accompanied by cash, or by cashier’s check, certified check or Bidder’s Bond, made payable to the City of Lake Elsinore, for an amount equal to not less than ten percent of the total bid amount and no Bidders Proposal shall be considered unless such Proposal guarantee is enclosed therewith (PCC 20170-20171). If the Bidder elects to furnish a Bidder’s Bond as his or her Proposal guarantee, he or she shall use the City’s form included hereinbefore and the attorney-in-fact for a corporate Surety must be registered as such in at least one county in the State of California and file with the bond a certified and effective dated copy of the related Power of Attorney. 2-1.6 Withdrawal of Bidder’s Proposals Any Bidder’s Proposal may be withdrawn prior to the time and date set forth in the Notice Inviting Bids for submission of Bids, provided that a request in writing, executed by the Bidder or his or her duly authorized representative for the withdrawal of such Bidder’s Proposal, is filed with the City Clerk prior to such time and date. The withdrawal of a Bidder’s Proposal shall not in itself prejudice the right of a Bidder to file a new Bidder’s Proposal. No bid may be withdrawn or changed after the time noted for submission of Bids. The lowest Bidder may request relief of the Bid by submitting a written notice within five days after the opening of Bids. Whether or not to grant a request for withdrawal of a Bid is within the sole discretion of the City Council. Said written notice shall certify to the following:

A. A mistake was made. B. Specifying in detail how the mistake occurred. C. The mistake made the Bid materially different than he or she intended it to be.

E-10

D. The mistake was made in filling out the Bid and not due to error in judgment or to carelessness in inspecting the site of the work, or in reading the Plans or Specifications. (PCC 5101, 5103)

2-1.7 Disqualification of Bidders More than one Bidder’s Proposal from an individual, a firm or partnership, a corporation or an association under the same or different name will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an interest in more than one Bidder’s Proposal, as a Bidder, will cause the rejection of all Bidder’s Proposals in which such Bidder is interested. If there is a reason for believing that collusion exists among the Bidders, none of the participants in such collusion will be considered in awarding the Contract. Bidder’s Proposals in which the prices obviously are unbalanced may be rejected. If the experience or financial background of the Bidder, as a Contractor, is inadequate or past performance has been unsatisfactory, his or her Bidder’s Proposal may be rejected. No Bidder’s Proposal will be accepted from a Bidder who is not fully and properly licensed as a Contractor in accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 9 of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code on the date and at the time of the submittal of the Bid Proposal for the work to be done by him or her. (B & P 7028.15) 2-1.8 Rejection of Bidder’s Proposals Any Bid containing information which is subsequently proven false or improperly signed shall be considered non-responsive and shall be rejected by the City. A licensed Contractor shall not submit a bid to a public agency unless his or her Contractor’s license number appears clearly on the Bid and the license expiration date is stated. Any Bid not containing this information, or Bid containing information which is subsequently proven false, shall be considered non-responsive and shall be rejected by the City. (B & P 7028.15 I) A Bidder’s proposal shall be rejected upon the occurrence of any of the following: the Bidder’s proposal has been transferred to another Bidder; the Bidder’s proposal shows any alterations of form, additions not called for, conditional or alternative bids uncalled for, or failing to provide required information except as allowed by law. If the Bidder is making a change to the Bidder’s proposal to submission of the Bid, the Bidder is to line through the existing scripts, add the revision, and initial. A Bidder’s proposal maybe rejected if the Bidder’s proposal has irregularities of any kind; however, the City reserves the right to reject any and all Bidder’s proposals as well as to waive irregularities to the extent permitted by law. The List of References form is informational only and Contractors that have not worked on Public Works projects should state, “Have Not Worked Public Works Projects,” and include other similar work. 2-1.9 Award of Contract The lowest responsible Bidder will be determined by comparing the cumulative total of all base bid items, and additive bid items based on the Engineer’s estimate of quantities for the work to be done (PCC 20103.8b). At the discretion of the City, Additive Bids (if any are included) may be awarded in the order shown on the Bid Schedule. For example, Additive Bid “A” would be

E-11

awarded prior to Additive Bid “B”. The City reserves the right to select the total bid, or the base bid only, or the base bid plus any or all of the Additive Bids for award. In the event that any or all of the Additive Bid(s) are not awarded with the base Bid, the City reserves the right to add any or all of the Additive Bid(s) by Contract Change Order at the prices bid. The award, if made, will be within sixty (60) calendar days after the opening of the Bidder’s Proposals. In the event the award is not made within the sixty (60) day period, the Bidder may submit to the City claim(s) for additional costs incurred between the end of said sixty (60) day period and date of actual award. All reasonable claims will be considered, and any justifiable costs shall be granted to the Bidder as a Contract Change Order to the Agreement. The Bidder shall submit to the City, when requested and prior to the Award of Contract, a detailed financial statement and resume of previous work of a similar nature. 2-1.10 Execution of Contract The Agreement shall be signed by the successful Bidder in duplicate counterpart and returned, together with the Contract bonds and insurance certificate(s), within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the receipt of the contract by the City Council. No Contract shall be binding upon the City until same has been completely executed by the Contractor and the City. In the event that the successful Bidder, to whom the Contract is awarded, defaults in executing the required Agreement or fails to submit the required Faithful Performance Bond, Labor and Materials Payment Bond, insurance certificate(s), or executed Agreement to the City within fourteen (14) calendar days after the date of the receipt of the contract, the proceeds of the Bidder’s Proposal guarantee accompanying the Bidders Proposal, be it cash, check or bond shall be forfeited to the City of Lake Elsinore, subject to Section 20172 of the Public Contract Code, and his or her Bidder’s Proposal, acceptance thereof and the Award of Contract may be considered null and void. If the Contract is then awarded to the next lowest responsible Bidder, the defaulted Bidder’s Proposal guarantee shall be used to cover the difference between the lowest bid and the second lowest bid, and any surplus will be returned to the defaulted Bidder or Surety (PCC 20174). 2-1.11 Return of Proposal Guarantees As set forth in the Notice Inviting Bids, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the award of the Contract, the City Clerk will return all the Proposal guarantees accompanying the Bidder’s Proposals which are not to be further considered in the award. All other Proposal guarantees will be held until the Agreement has been fully executed, after which time said Proposal guarantees, except those forfeited, will be returned to the respective Bidders. 2-2 Assignment 2-2.1 Contractor Indebtedness Indebtedness incurred by or on behalf of the Contractor for any cause in connection with this work must be paid by the Contractor. The City of Lake Elsinore has no obligation for any indebtedness or claim other than payments under terms of the Contract, and the Contractor shall not represent that he or she has any authority to create by such obligation on behalf of the City. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the City of Lake Elsinore, its officers, employees and agents from any loss, demand, damages, claims or actions arising from or in connection with said indebtedness. 2-3 Subcontracts

The deduction shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the Contracted amount required to be performed by the Contractor. The Contractor will not be penalized by the City resulting from Contract Change Orders that increase subcontract items of work. Subcontracts shall include Provisions that the Contract between the City and the Contractor is part of the subcontract, and that all terms and Provisions of said Contract are incorporated in the subcontract.

In the event any Contract pay items are deleted, or reduced in quantity or value, no payment will be made to the Contractor for the cost of any portion of the bonds. 2-5 Plans and Specifications 2-5.1.1 Standard Specifications Except as otherwise specified on the Plans or in these Special Provisions, all work shall be in accordance with the Provisions of the latest edition of the “GREENBOOK,” STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION, including all Supplemental Amendments, as prepared by Public Works Standards, Inc., as published by Building News, Inc., Anaheim, California, which Specifications are hereinafter referred to as the Standard Specifications.

Shop drawings will normally not be required for standard items in common use for which adequate manufacturers’ literature is available. The Contractor shall consecutively number, thoroughly check, approve and sign each submittal and transmit the submittals by letter to the Engineer for review. In the event that certain submittals are submitted without the Contractor’s approval signature or are unacceptable to the City, they will be rejected by the Engineer. The Contractor shall thereafter, correct said submittals and resubmit. In the event that in the process of development of the submittals, it is discovered that there are defects and/or errors on the Plans, resulting in conflict between said Plans and the submittals, or if the submittals show variation from the Plans and/or Contract requirements because of standard shop practice or other reasons, the Contractor shall thoroughly describe and explain said defects and/or conflicts in his or her transmittal letter to the Engineer. The Engineer’s review of the submittals will be for general design and arrangement only, and shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors of any sort in the submittals or of the responsibility for executing the work in accordance with the Contract. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for the correctness of the submittals, for shop fits and field connections, and for the results obtained by use of such submittals. The Contractor shall verify and be fully responsible

E-14

for all dimensions and job-site conditions affecting the work and shall be responsible for furnishing and installing the proper materials required by the Contract, whether or not indicated on the submittals when reviewed.

Inspection of the work shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his obligations to fulfill the Contract. Defective work shall be made good and unsuitable materials may be rejected, notwithstanding that such defective work and materials have been previously approved by the Engineer or included in the quantities for progress payments. The inspector does not have authority to deviate from the plans and specifications, and to obligate the city financially.

If any such work is concealed or performed without the prior inspection notice, then the work shall be subject to such tests or exposure as may be necessary to prove to the Engineer that the materials used and the work done are in conformity with the plans and specifications, or may be removed and installed again at the discretion of the City Engineer. All labor, equipment and materials necessary for exposing, testing or complete removal, and installation or replacement shall be furnished by the Contractor at its expense. The Contractor shall replace, at its own expense, any materials or work damaged by exposure or testing. Cost of rework inspection incurred by the City will be deducted from the Contractor’s progress payments. Rework inspection cost is as follows:

1. Contractor’s failure to complete the Work within the Contract time stated in the Contract and any previously authorized extensions thereof.

2. Extra inspections required for Contractor’s correction of defective work. 3. Overtime costs for acceleration of work done for Contractor’s convenience. 4. All associated costs including travel.

2-7 Surveying All survey work will be provided by the Owner. The Contractor shall preserve bench marks, survey monuments, survey stakes and points set for lines, grades or measurements of work in their proper places unless removal is authorized by the Engineer.

The cost of all bonds and insurance policies, including premiums and incidentals, shall be included in Mobilization.

E-15

No additional compensation will be allowed for additional mobilizations required, including but not limited to, delays caused by the relocation of existing utility facilities shown on the plans or discovered during construction operations. The amount credited for Mobilization on each monthly progress payment shall be based upon the percentage of the total of the amounts credited for work on all the other contract items for that monthly progress payment, up to a cumulative limit of eighty (80) percent of the contract item price for Mobilization. The remaining twenty (20) percent of the contract item price for Mobilization shall be paid with the final progress payment. The deletion of work or the addition of extra work as provided for herein shall not affect the price paid for Mobilization. The contract lump sum price paid for mobilization shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, tool, equipment, the cost of all bonds and insurance policies, and incidentals, and for doing the work involved in mobilization as specified herein.

E-16

Section 3

Changes of Work 3-2 Changes Initiated by the Agency 3-2.1 General In respect to work performed under the Contract, Subsection 3-2.1, “General,” of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed revised to include the following: The City reserves the right to make changes in the work or eliminate any contract (bid) item of work without impairing the validity of the Contract. Such changes shall be made in accordance with any of the following methods:

A. By written modification of Contract (Supplemental Agreement or Contract Change Order) ordered by the City Council.

B. By written Contract Change Order, signed by the City Manager or Public Works Director/City Engineer in the amounts specified by City Policy.

C. All Contract modifications shall be signed by the Contractor. Changes in the work made pursuant to this section, “Changes in Work” and extensions of completion time made necessary by reason thereof, shall in no way release any Guarantee given by the Contractor of the Contract let hereunder. The Sureties in excluding the Bonds on the Contract made pursuant to the General Conditions shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any change increasing the cost of the work and to any extension for time made by reason thereof. Such changes in the work shall not relieve or release the Sureties of Bonds executed for the work. Whenever a change is pending, the Contractor shall notify the City if it is necessary to halt other work in the area of the change that would be affected thereby, until such time as the change is authorized. Any change to the Contract amount shall be in a lump sum mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the City, except that when, in the opinion of the City such basis is not feasible, the change to the Contract amount shall be determined as provided for in Subsection 3-3, “Extra Work,” of the Standard Specifications. Each lump sum quotation from the Contractor shall be accompanied by sufficiently detailed estimates to permit verification of totals in accordance with Subsection 3-3.2, “PAYMENT,” of the Standard Specifications. When the work is to be done on a cost-plus-percentage basis, the Contractor shall submit daily work reports as required by the City showing all labor, material and equipment costs incurred, and upon completion of the work, a Summary of Costs, including overhead and profit, and in accordance with Subsection 3-3.2, “Payment,” of the Standard Specifications. The signature of the City’s inspector on the daily reports does not obligate the City to payment of any or all items of work listed on the City issued daily work reports, the inspector’s signature just acknowledges receipt of the City issued daily work report. The Engineer will review the daily report for the applicable items of work related to extra work. 3-2.2.2 Increases of More than 25 Percent In respect to the work performed under the contract, the first paragraph of Subsection 3-2.2.2 “Increases of More than 25 Percent” of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed revised to read as follows:

E-17

Should the actual quantity of a major item of work covered by a Contract Unit Price and constructed in conformance with the Plans and Specifications, exceed the Bid quantity by more than 25 percent, a Contract Change Order will be issued and payment for the quantity in excess of 25 percent of the Bid quantity will be made on the basis of the extension of contract with price adjustment in the Contract Unit Price mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Agency, Subsection 3-2.4 “Agreed Prices”, of the Standard Specifications or at the option of the Engineer, on the basis of Subsection 3-3 “Extra Work” of the Standard Specifications.

The Contractor will be paid at the contract unit price for minor bid items regardless if there is an increase in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) in the quantity listed in the bid. 3-2.2.3 Decreases of More than 25 Percent In respect to the work performed under the contract, the first paragraph of Subsection 3-2.2.3 “Decrease of More than 25 Percent”, of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed revised to read as following:

Should the actual quantity of a major item of work covered by a Contract Unit Price, and constructed in conformance with the Plans and Specifications, be less than 75 percent of the Bid quantity, and adjustment in payment will not be made unless so requested in writing by the Contractor. If the Contractor so requests, a Contract Change Order will be issued and payment will be made on the basis of an adjustment in the Contract Unit Price mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Agency, or at the option of the Engineer, on the basis of Subsection 3-3 “Extra Work” of the Standard Specifications; however, in no case will payment be less than would be made for the actual quantity at the Contract Unit Price.

The Contractor will be paid at the Contract Unit Price for minor bid items regardless if there is a decrease in excess of twenty-five (25%) percent in the quantity listed in the bid. 3-3 Extra Work 3-3.1 General In respect to work performed under the Contract, Subsection 3-3.1, “General,” of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed revised to include the following:

The Contractor shall not perform any extra work except upon written authorization from the Engineer.

Any change in work shall conform to the original drawings and Specifications insofar as they may apply without conflict to the conditions involved in the change. 3-3.2.2 Basis for Establishing Costs In respect to work performed under the Contract, the first paragraph of Subsection 3-3.2.2(a), “Labor” of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed revised to read as follows:

The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of worker (including foreman when authorized by the Engineer) performing the extra work at the time the extra work is done, plus, liability insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs, as well as assessments or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements.

E-18

To the actual wages, as defined above, will be added a labor surcharge set forth in the California Department of Transportation publication entitled “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates,” which is in effect on the date upon which the work is accomplished and which is part of the contract. The labor surcharge shall constitute full compensation for all payments imposed by state and federal laws and for all other payments made to, or on behalf of the workers, other than actual wages, subsistence and travel paid to the workers. Labor surcharge includes Workers’ Compensation Insurance, Social Security, Medicare, Federal Unemployment, State Unemployment and State Training Taxes. In respect to the work performed under the contract, Subsection 3-3.2.2(b), “Materials,” of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed revised to include the following: If the Contractor does not furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost of the materials from the actual supplier thereof within a specified time period after the date of delivery of material, the Engineer reserves the right to establish the cost of the materials at the lowest current wholesale prices at which the materials were available, in the quantities concerned, delivered to the location of the work, less any discounts. In respect to work performed under the Contract, the first paragraph of Subsection 3-3.2.2©, “Tool and Equipment Rental,” of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed revised to read as follows: Individual pieces of equipment or tools not listed in the Equipment Rental Rates and having a replacement value of $200 or less, whether or not consumed by use, shall be considered to be small tools and no payment will be made therefore. The Contractor will be paid for the use of equipment at the rental rates listed for such equipment in the Department of Transportation publication entitled, “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates,” which is in effect on the date upon which the work is accomplished. Move in and out, or minimum charges other than the hourly rate, shall not apply to equipment available from the force already on the job site. Equipment which is rented from a local equipment agency, other than Contractor owned, the Contractor will be paid at the hourly rate shown on the rental agency invoice or agreement for the time used on extra work. If a minimum equipment rental amount is required by the local equipment rental agency, the actual amount charged will be paid to the Contractor. If it is deemed necessary by the Engineer to use equipment not listed in the Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates publication, a suitable rental rate for that equipment will be established by the Engineer. The Contractor may furnish any cost data that might assist the Engineer in the establishment of the rental rate. If the rental rate established by the Engineer is $10.00 per hour or less, the provisions above concerning rental of equipment from a local equipment agency shall apply. Rental time will not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns. When owner operated equipment is used to perform extra work to be paid for on a force account basis, the Contractor will be paid for the equipment and operator as follows: Payment for the equipment will be made at the rental rates listed for such equipment in the Department of Transportation publication entitled “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates,” which is in effect on the date upon which the work is accomplished.

E-19

Payment for the cost of labor will be made in conformance with the provisions in Subsection 3-3.2.2(a) “Labor” of the Standard Specifications as revised. 3-3.2.3 Markup In respect to work performed under the Contract Subsection 3-3.2.3 (a & b), “Markup,” of the Standard Specifications, shall be deemed revised to read as follows: The markup for overhead and profit on work added to the Contract shall be according to the following schedule:

1. For work performed by the Contractor’s force, the added cost for overhead and profit shall be thirty-three percent (33%) to the cost of labor, fifteen percent (15%) to the cost of materials, and fifteen percent (15%) to the cost of equipment rentals.

2. For work performed by a subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall be

thirty-three percent (33%) to the cost of labor, fifteen percent (15%) to the cost of materials, and fifteen percent (15%) to the cost of equipment rentals, to which the Contractor may add five percent (5%) of the subcontractor’s price of the work. The additional five percent (5%) mark-up shall reimburse the Contractor for additional administrative costs, and no other additional payment will be made by reason of performance of the extra work by a subcontractor.

3. For work performed by a sub-subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall be

thirty-three percent (33%) to the cost of labor, fifteen percent (15%) to the cost of materials, and fifteen percent (15%) to the cost of equipment rentals, to which subcontractor and general Contractor may add an additional five percent (5%) each of the total price from the lower tier subcontractor. The additional five percent (5%) mark-up shall reimburse the subcontractor and general Contractor for additional administrative costs, and no other additional payment will be made by reason of performance of the extra work by a subcontractor.

4. For work performed by special force or other special services, the Engineer and the

Contractor, by agreement, will determine that a special service or an item of extra work cannot be performed by the forces of the Contractor or those of any of his subcontractors, such service or extra work item may be performed by a specialist. Invoices for such service or item of extra work on the basis of the current market price thereof may be accepted without complete itemization of labor, material, and equipment rental costs when it is impracticable and not in accordance with the established practice of the special service industry to provide such complete itemization.

In those instances wherein a Contractor is required to perform extra work necessitating a fabrication or matching process in a fabrication or machine shop facilities away from the job site, the charges for that portion of the extra work performed in such facility may, by Agreement between the Contractor and Engineer, be accepted as a specialist billing. To the specialist invoice price, less a credit to the City for any cash or trade discount offered or available, whether or not such discount may have been taken, will be added fifteen percent (15%) for overhead and profit in lieu of the percentages provided above.

5. The cost of direct supervision, except when provided by working foremen whose time is

included above, of Contract Change Order work when done exclusively and not in conjunction or at the same time of other work performed on the job and when approved in advance by the Engineer including only payroll taxes, insurance, pension and direct costs for the labor of supervision, may be charged to the Contract Change Order. The cost of transportation, use of vehicle, and other costs incurred by supervision will not be allowed.

E-20

6. For added or deducted work by subcontractors, the Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer,

with the subcontractor’s signed detailed estimate of the cost for labor, materials, and equipment, including the markup by such subcontractor for overhead and profit. The same requirement shall apply to subcontractors.

7. For added or deducted work furnished by a vendor or supplier, the Contractor shall furnish to

the Engineer a detailed estimate or quotation of the cost to the Contractor for such work, signed by such vendor or supplier.

8. Any change in the work involving both extras and credits shall show a net total cost,

including subcontracts. Allowances for overhead and profit, as specified herein, shall be applied if the net total cost is an extra. The estimated cost of deductions shall be based on labor and material prices on the date the Contract was executed.

3-3.3 Daily Reports by Contractor In respect to work performed under the Contract, Subsection 3-3.3, “Daily Reports by Contractor,” of the Standard Specifications shall be deemed to include the following: Material charges shall be substantiated by valid copies of vendor’s invoices. Such invoices shall be submitted with the daily extra work reports, or if not available, they shall be submitted with subsequent daily extra work reports. The Contractor shall maintain Contractor’s records in such a manner as to provide a clear account basis and the costs of other operations. Daily extra reports shall be made on City daily work report forms. The daily extra reports shall describe in detail the work that was performed, location (station, etc.). Separate daily extra reports shall be submitted for work that is being performed for more than one location or for different tasks that occur on the same day. The Engineer will compare Inspector’s records with the completed daily extra work reports furnished by the Contractor and make any necessary adjustments. When these daily extra work reports are agreed upon and signed by both parties, said reports shall become the basis of payment for the work performed. 3-3.4 Extension of Time If the Contractor is delayed in completing the work by reasons of any change ordered by the City, the time for completion of work will be extended for a period equal to the number of days by which the entire project has been delayed because of such change. The Contractor will not be liable for liquidated damages for such period of time and shall have no claim for any other compensation for any such delay except as provided herein. 3-5 Disputed Work In respect to work performed under the Contract, the first paragraph of Subsection 3-5, “Disputed Work” of the Standard Specification shall be deemed revised to read as follows: If unable to reach agreement under any of the foregoing procedures, the City may direct the Contractor to proceed with the work. Payment shall be made for such work as is later determined by negotiation between the parties or as is fixed by a court of law. 3-6 Format for Changes in Work 3-6.1 General

The Contractor will not be allowed any additional compensation or extension of time for suspended operations due to unsafe conditions. The Contractor shall immediately notify the City and document any observed defects or hazardous conditions in the vicinity of the project site prior to, during and after the project construction. 7-15.1 Payroll Records The Contractor and all subcontractors of the Contractor shall keep accurate payroll records, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice or worker employed by him. Such records shall be available to the Contractor’s employees and their authorized representative(s) as regards to the employees’ own payroll records, the City, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards in compliance with Section 1776, of the California Labor Code. The Contractor shall submit weekly to the City, beginning within ten (10) days of the end of the first payroll period, certified copies of said payroll records, and upon notice shall, within ten (10) days, submit certified copies of said payroll records to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. The Contractor shall cause an identical clause to be included in every subcontract for work under this Contract. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with Labor Code Section 1776. The Contractor shall allow the City, or Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to conduct employee interviews. Certified Payroll records shall be numbered consecutively and the last certified payroll record marked “final.” If there is a break where no work is performed, the Contractor shall submit a certified payroll numbered and marked “no work performed.” In accordance with Section 1771.5(b)(5), of the California Labor Code, the City will withhold Contract payments when the payroll records are delinquent or inadequate. Payments will be released after the City has received and reviewed the payroll records and finds the records to be in compliance with Labor Code Section 1776. 7-15.2 Owner-Operator Listing

E-49

The Contractor and subcontractors shall list all owner-operators on the project and certify owner-operator status by providing at least the following information:

A. Operator name as shown on all payrolls. B. Business address of the owner-operator. C. The owner-operator’s social security number. D. The truck/tractor license number, California identification truck number, weight,

and number of axels. If equipment is used, the Contractor must provide a complete description of the equipment, make, model number, and include the dates the equipment was operated on the project.

E. Operator labor classification. F. Hours worked by the owner-operator as reported on a daily basis. G. Hourly rental rate paid for the owner-operator equipment. H. Actual payments earned.

This information must be provided by the Contractor on the “Owner-Operator Listing” and “Owner-Operator Listing Statement of Compliance” forms. Certification will be accepted only from the Contractor or subcontractor employing the owner-operator. The City will not accept certified payrolls or an Owner-Operator Listing directly from the owner-operator unless that owner-operator is a licensed contractor, and is also an approved subcontractor or recognized lower tier subcontractor. The Contractor shall submit the “Owner-Operator Listing Statement of Compliance” form weekly to the City, beginning within ten (10) days of the end of the first week worked. If there is a temporary break in the work, then the Contractor shall submit an Owner-Operator Listing marked “no work performed.” When the owner-operator is no longer needed, then the word “final” shall be placed above the name of the owner-operator. The information shown on the “Owner-Operator Listing” will be used to determine the hourly wage rate due by deducting the prevailing equipment rental rate as set forth in the California Department of Transportation publication entitled “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates” from the gross hourly rate shown on the owner-operator listing (without mark-up). The determined hourly wage will be compared to the applicable craft or classification of the prevailing wage rate plus fringe benefits to determine compliance. To differentiate an owner-operator from a contractor’s employee the requirements used are as follows:

If review of payroll records show that deductions for social security taxes or state unemployment insurance taxes are withheld for the owner-operator, it is an indication that the operator is an employee rather than an independent contractor. An employee interview of the owner-operator indicates that the owner-operator is in fact an employee.

Truck owner-operators should be the registered owner of the vehicle. The name of the driver should match the name of the registered owner on the Department of Motor Vehicle’s registration. If the legal owner is a firm or corporation, and the firm or corporation name is shown on the vehicle registration slip, the driver shall furnish evidence that they are leasing or purchasing the vehicle. If the owner-operator is unable to substantiate purchase or lease of the equipment, the City will disallow use of the owner-operator classification for this truck. Insurance for the vehicle shall be carried in the driver’s name. The California identification (CA) number issued by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) shall be in the driver’s name.

E-50

If the equipment owner-operator owns, is leasing, or financing the equipment other than a truck, then the operator shall furnish such evidence. If the owner-operator is unable to substantiate that they own, are purchasing, or leasing the equipment, the engineer will disallow use of the owner-operator classification for the equipment. The Contractor must establish proof of ownership in cases where there is doubt as to the validity of the owner-operator designation. 7-16 Record Drawings At the beginning of the project, one bond copy or blueline print of each applicable drawing will be issued by the City for use in preparing record drawings. Actual construction conditions shall be accurately and completely recorded on the bond copy or blueline prints as the project progresses. The contractor shall update the record drawings daily and review the record drawings with the inspector weekly. If the Contractor fails to update record drawings, the monthly progress payment will not be processed until the inspector is satisfied that the record drawings have been updated for the month the Contractor is requesting a progress payment. Upon completion of the work, the Contractor shall sign the record drawings and shall submit same to the City’s Inspector for checking and approval. The 5% retention will not be released to the contractor until the record drawings (red line “As Built Drawings”) have been submitted to the City and approved. If the Contractor has not submitted an accurate copy of the record drawings within 30 calendar days of the construction completion date, the City reserves the right to obtain the necessary resources to prepare the record drawings and deduct all applicable costs incurred from the Contractor’s retention amount. 7-17 Rights in Land and Improvements Nothing in these specifications shall be construed as allowing the Contractor 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. The street right-of-way shall be used only for purposes that are necessary to perform the required work. The contractor shall not occupy the right-of-way, or allow others to occupy the right-of-way, for purposes that are not necessary to perform the required work. The Contractor shall secure at his/her own expense any area required for plant sites, storage of equipment or materials, or for other purposes if sufficient area is not available to him/her within the contract limits, or at the sites designated on the plans outside the contract limits. The City will provide rights of entry at no cost to the Contractor for the work on private property at the Ortega Highway (SR-74) and Grand Avenue project location where shown on the plans. At no time shall the Contractor be permitted to encroach on Caltrans ROW without an encroachment permit. Such rights of entry do not relieve the Contractor of the need to provide, at his/her cost, permits and insurance required of the contractor by other agencies and organizations.

The % symbol in the Estimated Quantities column of the Bid Schedule for a lump sum item of work shall mean that progress payments for that item will be allowed. 9-2.2 Final Pay Quantities for Lump Sum Items of Work When the estimated quantity for an item of work is designated on the Bid Schedule by the letters “L.S.” or the words “Lump Sum,” said estimated quantity shall be the final quantity for which payment for said item of work will be made, unless the dimensions of said work, as shown on the Plans, are revised by the Engineer. If such dimensions are revised, and such revisions result in an increase or decrease in the quantity of such work, the final payment for said lump sum item will be revised in proportion to the change in quantities and authorized by Contract Change Order. The estimated quantity for a lump sum item of work shall be considered as approximate only and no guarantee is made that the actual final quantity will equal the estimated quantity. No allowance will be made if the actual final quantity does not equal the estimated quantity except as noted hereinabove. 9-2.3 Final Pay Quantities for Unit Basis Items of Work When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated on the Bid Schedule as final pay quantities with the letter “F,” said estimated quantities shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the Plans are revised by the Engineer. If such dimensions are revised and such revisions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of such work, the final quantities for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the changes in the dimensions and authorized by Contract Change Order. The estimated quantities for such specific portion of the work shall be considered as approximate only, and no guarantee is made that the quantities which can be determined by computations, based on the details and dimensions shown on the Plans, will equal the estimated quantities. No allowance will be made if the quantities based on computations do not equal the estimated quantities.

The Engineer will make the final determination as to the actual quantity and value of work completed for which payment will be made. Ten percent (10%) of the value will be deducted from each progress payment and retained by the City until later released as specified hereinafter. Before he or she shall be entitled to final payment of the retention withheld from the progress payments, the Contractor shall execute and file with the City a conditional or unconditional waiver and release, upon a form which complies with Section 3262, of the Civil Code, and which is acceptable to the City, releasing the City from all claims or liability relating to undisputed Contract amounts for work performed in relation to said amount. If pursuant to a conditional release, such release shall contain or have attached a list of all Contract amounts as to which a dispute exists. The Contractor will be permitted the substitution of securities for any monies withheld by a public agency to ensure performance under the Contract.
