Where such interpretation or clarification requires a change in the Bid Documents, the Owner will prepare and issue an Addendum to the Bid Documents.

The bidding process and terms and conditions will be in strict accordance with the following Bid Documents:

ADDENDA The Owner reserves the right to revise the Bid Documents prior to the bid opening date. Revisions, if any, shall be made by written Addenda. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 4104.5, if the Owner issues an Addendum later than 72 hours prior to the deadline for submission of bids, and the Addendum requires material changes, additions or deletions to the description of the work to be performed or the content, form or manner of submission of bids, the Owner will extend the deadline for submission of bids by at least 72 hours. Otherwise, the Owner may determine, in its sole discretion, whether an Addendum requires that the date set for opening bids be postponed. The announcement of the new date, if any, shall be made by Addenda. Each prospective bidder shall provide Owner a name, address and facsimile number to which Bid Document Addenda may be sent, as well as a telephone number by which the Owner can contact the Bidder. Copies of Addenda will be furnished by email, facsimile, first class mail, express mail or other proper means of delivery without charge to all parties who have obtained a copy of the Bid Documents and provided such current information. Please Note: Bidders are primarily and ultimately responsible for ensuring that they have received any and all Addenda. To this end, each Bidder should contact the Development Services Department to verify that he has received all Addenda issued, if any. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all Addenda, if any, in its Bid Letter. Failure to acknowledge receipt of all Addenda may cause its Bid to be deemed incomplete and nonresponsive. 6. PREPARATION OF BIDS Bids shall be prepared only using copies of the Contract Bid Forms provided with the Bid Documents. The use of substitute bid forms other than clear and correct photocopies of those provided by the Owner will not be permitted and may result in the Bid being declared nonresponsive. Bid Letters shall be executed by an authorized signatory as described in these Instructions to Bidders. In addition, Bidders shall fill in all blank spaces (including inserting “N/A” where applicable) and initial all interlineations, alterations, or erasures to the Contract Bid Forms. Bidders shall neither delete, modify, nor supplement the printed matter on the Contract Bid Forms nor make substitutions thereon. USE OF INK, INDELIBLE PENCIL OR A TYPEWRITER IS REQUIRED. 7. ALTERNATE BIDS
The award of Contract shall be based on the TOTAL BASE BID AMOUNT only. If ADDITIVE OR DEDUCTIVE ALTERNATE BID ITEMS are shown on the ADDITIVE OR DEDUCTIVE ALTERNATE BID SCHEDULE, these bid items will not be taken into account in determining the lowest responsible bidder. City may add bid items from the ADDITIVE OR DEDUCTIVE ALTERNATE BID SCHEDULE at the sole and complete discretion of the City as part of the performance of the contract. 8. MODIFICATIONS OF BIDS Each Bidder shall submit its Bid in strict conformity with the requirements of the Bid Documents. Each Bid prepared by Bidder shall be complete in itself and shall be submitted within a sealed envelope in
ITB - 3
accordance with the instructions herein. Unauthorized conditions, limitations, exclusions or provisions attached to a Bid will render it nonresponsive and may cause its rejection. Bidders shall neither delete, modify, nor supplement the printed matter on the
Contract Bid Forms, nor make substitutions thereon. ORAL, TELEPHONIC AND FACSIMILE BIDS OR MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. 9. SIGNING OF BIDS All Bids submitted shall be executed by the Bidder or its authorized representative. Bidders will be asked to provide evidence in the form of an authenticated resolution of its Board of Directors or a Power of Attorney evidencing the capacity of the person signing the Bid to bind the Bidder to each Bid and to any Contract arising therefrom. If a Bidder is a joint venture or partnership, it will be asked to submit an authenticated Power of Attorney executed by each joint venture or partner appointing and designating one of the joint ventures or partners as a management sponsor to execute the Bid on behalf of Bidder. Only that joint venture or partner shall execute the Bid. The Power of Attorney shall also: (1) authorize that particular joint venture or partner to act for and bind Bidder in all matters relating to the Bid; and (2) provide that each venture or partner shall be jointly and severally liable for any and all of the duties and obligations of Bidder assumed under the Bid and under any Contract arising therefrom. The Bid shall be executed by the designated joint venture or partner on behalf of the joint venture or partnership in its legal name. 10. BID GUARANTEE (BOND) Each bid proposal shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check, bid bond (the bid bond must be submitted on the form included in these Bid Documents) or equivalent substitution in lieu of a bond, as authorized by Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.710, in an amount not less than 10% of the Total Bid Price. Any check, bond, or other substitute must be made payable to the Owner, and shall be given as a guarantee that the Bidder will enter into the Contract described in the Bid Documents if awarded the work and will provide a satisfactory Performance Bond, Payment Bond, the required insurance certificates and endorsements, and any other certifications as may be required by the Contract. By submitting a proposal, each bidder agrees that its failure to enter the Contract if awarded the work or to provide the Bonds and other information or documentation described above would result in damage to the Owner, and that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of that damage. For this reason, each bidder agrees that the Owner may retain the bid proposal guarantee as liquidated damages if the bidder is awarded the work but fails or refuses to timely enter into the Contract or to provide the Bonds and other information or documentation described above, except as may otherwise be required by California law. If electing to provide a Bid Bond, as set forth above, each Bidder must obtain such a bond from an admitted surety insurer, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, authorized to do business as such in
the State of California and satisfactory to the Owner. In addition, the Bid Bond must be submitted on the form furnished by the Owner, or one substantially in conformance with the Owner's form if previously approved in writing by the Owner. Certified or cashier's checks must be drawn on a solvent state bank or a California branch of a solvent national bank. After the Owner has made an award to the successful Bidder, and the Bidder has signed a Contract, submitted the necessary bonds, original insurance certificates and endorsements, and any other certifications as may be required by the Contract, the remaining Bid guarantees shall be returned to each particular bidder if requested by that bidder. If the Owner rejects all Bids, it will promptly return to all
ITB - 4
Bidders their Bid guarantees 11. SUBMISSION OF SEALED BIDS
Once the Bid and supporting documents herein have been completed and signed as set forth above, they shall be placed, along with the Bid Guarantee and any proposed sketches and brochures or other materials required by these instructions, in an envelope, sealed, addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid to the Owner at the place and to the attention of the person indicated in the Notice Inviting Bids.

DELIVERY AND OPENING OF BIDS Bids will be received by the Owner at the address shown in the Notice Inviting Bids or electronically through Planetbids up to the date and time shown therein. The Owner will leave unopened any Bid received after the specified date and time, and any such unopened Bid will be returned to the Bidder. It is the Bidder's sole responsibility to ensure that its Bid is received as stipulated. Bids may be submitted earlier than the dates(s) and time(s) indicated. Bids will be opened at the date and time stated in the Notice Inviting Bids and will be posted on the City’s online system as soon as they have been reviewed for responsiveness. Owner reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, to waive any informality or irregularity in any Bid received where such waiver is in the best interests of the Owner, and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective Bids received. In the event of a discrepancy between the written amount of the Bid Price and the numerical amount of the Bid Price, the written amount shall govern. 13. WITHDRAWAL OF BID Prior to the bid opening date, a Bid may be withdrawn by the Bidder by means of a written request signed by the Bidder or its properly authorized representative. If a Bidder to whom the award is made fails or refuses to sign a Contract, or to furnish the bonds, certificates and endorsements required below within the time specified in these Instructions to Bidders below, the funds represented by the Bid Guarantee (cash,
cashiers check or Bid bond described above) shall be forfeited and become and remain the property of the Owner; the amount thereof being previously agreed to by the Bidder and the surety to be due the Owner because of the damage resulting from the delay in the execution of the Contract and in the performance of Work thereunder. 14. AWARD PROCESS Once all Bids are opened and reviewed to determine the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, the City Council will make all necessary decisions and awards. The apparent successful bidder should at this point begin to prepare the following documents: (1) the Performance Bond; (2) the Payment Bond; and (3) the required insurance certificates and endorsements. Once the Owner issues a Notice of Award, the successful
ITB - 5
bidder will have seven (7) Working Days from the date of this letter to supply the Owner with all of the required documents and certifications. Regardless whether the successful bidder supplies the required documents and certifications in a timely manner, the Contract Time will begin to run ten (10) Working Days from the date of the Notice of Proceed. Once the Owner receives all of the properly drafted and
executed documents and certifications from the successful bidder, the Owner shall issue a Notice to Proceed to that successful bidder. 15. DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS Pursuant to state law, the Bidders must designate the name and location of each subcontractor who will perform work or render services for the prime Bidder in an amount that exceeds one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder's Total Bid Price, as well as the portion of work each such subcontractor will perform. Bidders must make these designations, as well as any others requested by the Owner, on the document titled "List of Proposed Subcontractors" which has been included with the Contract Bid Forms. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 4104, the Owner has determined that it will allow Bidders twenty-four (24) additional hours after the deadline for submission of bids to submit the information requested by the Owner about each subcontractor, other than the name and location of each subcontractor. 16.

BASIS OF AWARD; BALANCED BIDS The Owner shall award Contracts to only the lowest responsible Bidders submitting responsive Bids, as required by law. The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all Bids. The Owner may reject any Bid which, in its opinion when compared to other bids received or to the Owner's internal estimates, does not accurately reflect the cost to perform the Work. In addition, because the Owner may elect to include or exclude any of the bid items and alternate bid items at its sole and absolute discretion, each Bidder must ensure that each bid item contains a proportionate share of profit, overhead and other costs or expenses which will be incurred by the Bidder. The Owner may reject as non-responsive any bid which unevenly weights or allocates overhead and profit to one or more particular bid items. 21. FILING OF BID PROTESTS Bidders may file a "protest" of a contract award with the Owner's Project Manager. In order for a Bidder's protest to be considered valid, the protest must: A. Be filed in writing within five (5) Working Days after the bid opening date. B. Clearly identify the specific accusation involved. C. Clearly identify the specific Owner Staff/Board recommendation being protested. D. Specify, in detail, the grounds of the protest and the facts supporting the protest. E. Include all relevant, supporting documentation with the protest at time of filing. If the protest does not comply with each and every one of these requirements, it will be rejected as invalid. If the protest is valid, the Owner's Project Manager, or other designated Owner staff member, shall review the basis of the protest and all relevant information. The Project Manager will deny or concur with the protest and provide a written decision to the protestor. The protestor may then appeal the decision of the Project Manager to the City Engineer then the appeal at the City Council. That way, the Council can deny the protest and approve the project at the same hearing. 22. PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND REQUIREMENTS Within the time specified in these Instructions to Bidders above, the Bidder to whom a Contract is awarded shall deliver to the Owner four identical counterparts of the Performance Bond and Payment Bond in the
form supplied by the Owner and included in the Bid Documents. Failure to do so may, in the sole discretion of Owner, result in the forfeiture of the Bid Guarantee.

ITB - 7
this requirement for subcontractor bonds in his written or published request for subcontractor bids 23. EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Bidders are required to provide the experience and qualification information required as part of the Contract Bid Forms. The purpose of this data is to provide the information necessary for the Owner to determine whether Bidders have the necessary experience in order to responsibly carry out the Work. Each Bidder shall answer all questions and provide information requested by the Contract Bid Forms. 24. SALES AND OTHER APPLICABLE TAXES, PERMITS, LICENSES AND FEES Contractor and its subcontractors performing work under this Contract will be required to pay California sales and other applicable taxes, and to pay for permits, licenses and fees required by the agencies with authority in the jurisdiction in which the work will be located, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Bid Documents. 25. EXECUTION OF CONTRACT The Bidder to whom an award is made shall execute the Contract in the amount of its Total Bid Price and furnish the required insurance certificates and endorsements, as well as Performance and Payment Bonds, in a timely manner. The Owner may require appropriate evidence that the persons executing the Contract and the bonds for both the Bidder and its surety or sureties are duly empowered to do so. 26. OWNER RIGHTS The Owner may investigate the qualifications of any Bidder under consideration, require confirmation of information furnished by a Bidder, and require additional evidence of qualifications to perform the work described in these Bid Documents. The Owner reserves the right to: A. Reject any or all of the Bids if such action is in the best interest of the Owner. B. Issue subsequent Notices Inviting Bids. C. Cancel this entire Notice Inviting Bids. D. Appoint evaluation committees to review any or all Bids. E. Seek the assistance of outside technical experts to validate the Bid(s). F. Approve or disapprove the use of particular subcontractors. G. Waive informalities and irregularities in Bids.

A Bid must be in strict compliance with the commercial and technical specifications, without exception. Only Bids which conform in all material respects to the Bid Documents can be eligible for award.

award. B. List of Proposed Subcontractors (Forms). State law prohibits substitution of subcontractors listed in the original Bid except as otherwise provided in Sections 4107 and 4107.5 of the California Public Contract Code. Bidders are required to list all Subcontractors whose participation in the Contract will exceed one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Total Bid Price.

RESPONSIBILITY CRITERIA Responsibility is the apparent ability of the Bidder to meet and complete successfully the requirements of the Contract. The Owner reserves the right to consider the financial responsibility and general competency of each bidder, as well as its reputation within the industry. Owner may request, and apparent low bidder shall provide, a financial statement, audited if necessary, including the Bidder's latest balance sheet and income statement. Owner expects that each Bidder will fully and truthfully disclose all information required of the Bidder by the Bid Documents. The prospective contractor, in order to be evaluated by the Owner as being a responsible contractor, must complete Section 4 of the Contract Bid Forms to determine that it: A. Has or can secure adequate financial resources to perform the contract; B. Is able to meet the performance or delivery schedule of the contract, taking into consideration other business commitments; and C. Has a satisfactory record of performance. A contractor seriously deficient in current contract performance, considering the number of contracts and extent of the deficiencies, is presumed not to meet this requirement unless the deficiencies are beyond its control or there is evidence to establish its responsibility
notwithstanding the deficiencies. Evidence of such satisfactory performance record should show that the contractor: (1) Has a satisfactory record of integrity in its dealings with government agencies and with subcontractors, and is otherwise qualified to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations; (2) Has the necessary organization, experience, satisfactory safety record, accounting and operational controls and technical skills or the ability to obtain them; and (3) Has the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities

include the coverages as specified below.
The named insureds shall be Contractor and Agency, including its officers, officials, employees, and agents. All Subcontractors (excluding those solely responsible for design Work) of any tier and suppliers shall be included as additional insureds as their interests
may appear. Contractor shall not be required to maintain property insurance for any portion
of the Project following transfer of control thereof to Agency. The policy shall contain a provision that all proceeds from the builder’s risk policy shall be made payable to the Agency. The Agency will act as a fiduciary for all other interests in the Project. Policy shall be provided for replacement value on an "all risk" basis for the completed value of the project. There shall be no coinsurance penalty or provisional limit provision in any
such policy. Policy must include: (1) coverage for any ensuing loss from faulty

Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the state of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better and
a minimum financial size VII. General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor. Contractor and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Contractor:
1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials,
Company Name
employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insurer under such policies using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010. . Contractor also agrees to require
all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Contract shall prohibit Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against
City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all
contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this Contract are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Contract or any other Contract relating to the City or its operations
limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverage required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted
to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverage required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or
prior to the execution of this Contract. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and
no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain
any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other Contract and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City
option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to
mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will
“endeavor” (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
Company Name
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Contract that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first
and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self
insurance available to City. 10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the
same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring
that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all Contracts with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated
by this Contract to self-insure its obligations to City. If Contractor’s existing
coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review
options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Contract will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Contract.
14. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of
City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no
way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Contract. This obligation applies whether or not the Contract is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Contract have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered
Company Name
shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or
additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the
renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverage. 17. The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Contractor under this Contract. Contractor expressly agrees not to
use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its
employees, officials and agents. 18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of
any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Contract and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Contract to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the
provisions of this Section.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Contract. Any such
provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Contract. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

The provisions of Section 3-2.2 of the Standard Specifications shall be
revised to read as follows: “3-2.2.1 Contract Unit Prices. Section 3-2.2.1 shall be amended in its entirety to read as
follows:”
“3-2.2.1(a) Allowable Quantity Variations on Unit Price Contracts. In the event of an
increase or decrease in a bid item quantity of a unit price contract, the total amount of work actually done or materials or equipment furnished shall be paid for according to the unit price established for such work under the Contract Documents, wherever such unit price has been established; provided,
that an adjustment in the Contract Unit Price may be made for changes which result in an increase or
decrease in the quantity of any unit price bid item of the Work in excess of 25 percent, or for eliminated items of work.” “3-2.2.1(b) Increases of More Than 25 Percent on Unit Price Contracts. On a unit
price contract, should the total quantity of any item of work required under the Contract exceed the
Engineer’s Estimate therefor by more than 25 percent, the work in excess of 125 percent of such estimate and not covered by an executed contract Change Order specifying the compensation to be paid therefor will be paid for by adjusting the Contract Unit Price, as hereinafter provided, or at the
option of the Owner, payment for the work involved in such excess will be made as provided in Paragraph 3-3.2, as amended in these Special Provisions.”
“Such adjustment of the Contract Unit Price will be the difference between the Contract Unit Price and the actual unit cost, which will be determined as hereinafter provided, of the total pay quantity of the item. If the costs applicable to such item of work include fixed costs, such fixed costs
shall be deemed to have been recovered by the Contractor by the payments made for 125 percent of
the Engineer’s Estimate of the quantity for such item, and in computing the actual unit costs, such fixed costs will be excluded. Subject to the above provisions, such actual unit cost will be determined by the engineer in the same manner as if the work were to be paid for as extra work as provided in Paragraph 3-3.2, as amended in these Special Provisions, or such adjustment as will be
as agreed to by the Contractor and the Owner.”
“When the compensation payable for the number of units of an item of work performed in excess of 125 percent of the Engineer’s Estimate is less than $5,000 at the applicable Contract Unit
GENERAL PROVISIONS - 11
Price, the Engineer reserves the right to make no adjustment in said price if he so elects, except that an adjustment will be made if requested in writing by the Contractor.”
“3-2.2.1(c) Decreases of More Than 25 Percent on Unit Price Contracts. On unit price contracts, should the total pay quantity of any item of work required under the contract be less than 75 percent of the Engineer’s Estimate therefor, an adjustment in compensation pursuant to this Section will not be made unless the Contractor so requests in writing. If the Contractor so requests,
the quantity of said item performed, unless covered by an executed contract change order specifying
the compensation payable therefor, will be paid for by adjusting the Contract Unit Price as
hereinafter provided, or at the option of the engineer, payment for the quantity of the work of such item performed will be made as if the work were to paid for as extra work as provided in Paragraph 3-3.2, as amended in these Special Provisions, or such adjustment as will be as agreed to by the Contractor and the Owner; provided, however, that in no case shall the payment for such work be
less than that which would be made at the Contract Unit Price.”
“Such adjustment of the contract unit price will be the difference between the contract unit price and the actual unit cost, which will be determined as hereinafter provided, of the total pay
quantity of the item, including fixed costs. Such actual unit cost will be determined by the Engineer
in the same manner as if the work were to be paid for as extra work as provided in Paragraph 3-3.2, as amended in these Special Provisions, or such adjustment as will be as agreed to by the Contractor
and the Owner.” “The payment for the total pay quantity of such item of work will in no case exceed the
payment which would be made for the performance of 75 percent of the Engineer’s Estimate of the
quantity for such item at the original Contract Unit Price.” “3-2.2.1(d) Eliminated Items on Unit Price Contracts. On unit price contracts, should any contract item of the work be eliminated in its entirety, in the absence of an executed contract
Change Order covering such elimination, payment will be made to the Contractor for actual costs
incurred in connection with such eliminated contract item if incurred prior to the date of notification in writing by the Engineer of such elimination.”
“If acceptable material is ordered by the Contractor for the eliminated item prior to the date of notification of such elimination by the Engineer, and if orders for such material cannot be
canceled, it will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor. In such case, the material paid for
shall become the property of the Owner and the actual cost of any further handling will be paid for by the Owner. If the material is returnable to the vendor and if the Engineer so directs the Contractor, the material shall be returned and the Contractor 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 Owner to the Contractor as provided in this Section 3-2 will be computed in the same manner as if the work were to be paid for as extra work as
provided in Paragraph 3-3.2, as amended in these General Conditions, or such adjustment as will be
as agreed to by the Contractor and the Owner.” 3-3 EXTRA WORK
GENERAL PROVISIONS - 12

amended to include the following at the end of that Section:

of transportation, necessity for security, laws and codes, local permit requirements, wage scales,
local tax structure, contractors' licensing requirements, availability of required insurance, and other factors that could in any way affect the Work or the costs thereof. The Contractor is solely
GENERAL PROVISIONS - 13
responsible for understanding the facilities, difficulties and restrictions which may impact the total and adequate completion of the Project. The failure of the Contractor to acquaint himself with all
available information regarding any applicable existing or future conditions shall not relieve him
from the responsibility for properly estimating either the difficulties, responsibilities, or costs of fully and adequately performing the Work according to the Contract Documents.”

“All materials, parts, equipment or Work which are defective in their construction or

Any Work done beyond the lines shown on the Plans or established by the City’s Representative, or any extra work done without written authority, will be

requests for substitution promptly after award shall be deemed to signify that the Contractor intends to furnish one of the brands named in the Special Provisions, and the Contractor does hereby waive all rights to offer or use substitute materials, products, or equipment for that which was originally
specified. Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, the time for submission of data substantiating a request for substitution of an “or equal” item shall be not less than 35 nor more than

6.Fasteners and plates for fastening components mechanically to the substrate shallprovide a minimum pull-out capacity of 300 lbs. (136 k) per fastener. Base or ply
sheets attached with cap nails require a minimum pullout capacity of 40 lb. per nail.7.Prime decks where required, in accordance with requirements and recommendations
of the primer and deck manufacturer.
3.3 INSTALLATION - GENERAL
A.Install modified bitumen membranes and flashings in accordance with manufacturer'sinstructions and with the recommendations provided by the National Roofing Contractors
Association's Roofing & Waterproofing Manual, the Asphalt Roofing ManufacturersAssociation, and applicable codes.
B.General: Avoid installation of modified bitumen membranes at temperatures lower than 40-45 degrees F. When work at such temperatures unavoidable use the following precautions:
1.Take extra care during cold weather installation and when ambient temperatures areaffected by wind or humidity, to ensure adequate bonding is achieved between the
surfaces to be joined. Use extra care at material seam welds and where adhesion ofthe applied product to the appropriately prepared substrate as the substrate can be
affected by such temperature constraints as well.2.Unrolling of cold materials, under low ambient conditions must be avoided to prevent
the likelihood of unnecessary stress cracking. Rolls must be at least 40 degrees F atthe time of application. If the membrane roll becomes stiff or difficult to install, it must
be replaced with roll from a heated storage area.
C. Commence installation of the roofing system at the lowest point of the roof (or roof area),
working up the slope toward the highest point. Lap sheets shingle fashion so as to constantlyshed water
D.All slopes greater than 2:12 require back-nailing to prevent slippage of the ply sheets. Usering or spiral-shank 1 inch cap nails, or screws and plates at a rate of 1 fastener per ply
(including the membrane) at each insulation stop. Place insulation stops at 16 ft o.c. forslopes less than 3:12 and 4 feet o.c. for slopes greater than 3:12. On non-insulated
systems, nail each ply directly into the deck at the rate specified above. When slopeexceeds 2:12, install all plies parallel to the slope (strapping) to facilitate backnailing. Install
4 additional fasteners at the upper edge of the membrane when strapping the plies.

3.3 INSTALLATION - GENERAL
A.Install modified bitumen membranes and flashings in accordance with manufacturer'sinstructions and with the recommendations provided by the National Roofing Contractors
Association's Roofing & Waterproofing Manual, the Asphalt Roofing ManufacturersAssociation, and applicable codes.
B.General: Avoid installation of modified bitumen membranes at temperatures lower than 40-45 degrees F. When work at such temperatures unavoidable use the following precautions:
1.Take extra care during cold weather installation and when ambient temperatures areaffected by wind or humidity, to ensure adequate bonding is achieved between the
surfaces to be joined. Use extra care at material seam welds and where adhesion ofthe applied product to the appropriately prepared substrate as the substrate can be
affected by such temperature constraints as well.2.Unrolling of cold materials, under low ambient conditions must be avoided to prevent
the likelihood of unnecessary stress cracking. Rolls must be at least 40 degrees F atthe time of application. If the membrane roll becomes stiff or difficult to install, it must
be replaced with roll from a heated storage area.
C. Commence installation of the roofing system at the lowest point of the roof (or roof area),
working up the slope toward the highest point. Lap sheets shingle fashion so as to constantlyshed water
D.All slopes greater than 2:12 require back-nailing to prevent slippage of the ply sheets. Usering or spiral-shank 1 inch cap nails, or screws and plates at a rate of 1 fastener per ply
(including the membrane) at each insulation stop. Place insulation stops at 16 ft o.c. forslopes less than 3:12 and 4 feet o.c. for slopes greater than 3:12. On non-insulated
TP-25
07550 -10
systems, nail each ply directly into the deck at the rate specified above. When slope exceeds 2:12, install all plies parallel to the slope (strapping) to facilitate backnailing. Install
4 additional fasteners at the upper edge of the membrane when strapping the plies.
3.4 INSTALLATION TORCH APPLIED 2-PLY ASPHALT ROOFING

INTRODUCTION
ENCORP Was retained to conduct limited asbestos inspections and sampling at the GARVEY PARK OFFICE BUILDING AND GYMNASIUM BUILDING located at 7933 Emerson Place, Rosemead, CA. The inspection results that follow summarize the components tested and the results. This report does not constitute a full
comprehensive inspection and is limited to materials of the roofing materials for the upcoming remodeling/renovations roof project.
Asbestos is a general term applied to a group of naturally occurring minerals which separate into fibers. This fibrous material (e.g., Amosite, Chrysotile, Crocidolite, Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite) are composed of silicates of aluminum, magnesium and other metals which are incombustible and very difficult to destroy or degrade. Asbestos has a tendency to break into a dust of tiny fibers which can float in the air and be inhaled or
swallowed. Asbestos inhalation exposure has been shown to increase the risk of developing lung cancer, mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the lung and/or abdomen.) and asbestosis (chronic lung disease), as well
as other damage to the lungs. Exposure occurs by breathing asbestos fibers produced as a fine dust when asbestos is handled during fabrication, installation or removal. By definition Asbestos Containing Materials
(ACM) are any material or product which contain greater than 1 percent (1%) asbestos. CAL/OSHA further regulates the content of asbestos in materials or products that contain greater than 1 tenth of a percent (0.1%)
of asbestos requiring work to be performed by a licensed abatement contractor, and asbestos containing material containing 0.1% or less of asbestos requiring notification and training for the purpose of worker
protection.
ENCORP’s California Site Surveillance Technician Mr. Jesus Roman (CSST 19-6450) completed the site
inspections under the direction of Certified Asbestos Consultant Mr. Alex Blankevoort (CAC 04-3555). Prior to sample collection, ENCORP’s representatives conducted a visual investigation of the property to identify and
quantify all suspect asbestos containing, building materials. Upon completion of the visual investigation, building materials were grouped into homogeneous categories and samples were collected from the suspect
ACM’s previously identified.
SAMPLING METHODOLOGY – ASBESTOS ENCORP used a modified random sampling protocol to collect the samples of the suspect ACM’s. Each of the suspect samples collected for this report were given a unique sample identification number and sealed inside leak proof containers for shipment to the laboratory for analysis.
Asbestos bulk samples collected during this inspection were analyzed by ENCORP Environmental Laboratory. ENCORP Environmental Laboratory is accredited by NIST/NVLAP for analysis of asbestos fibers in bulk.

INTRODUCTION
ENCORP was retained to conduct limited lead-based paint inspections and sampling at the GARVEY PARK OFFICE BUILDING AND GYMNASIUM BUILDING located at 7933 Emerson Place, Rosemead, CA. The inspection results that follow summarize the components tested and the results. This report does not constitute a full comprehensive inspection and is limited to materials of the roofing materials for the upcoming remodeling/renovations roof project.
ENCORP’s CDPH Certified Lead Sampling Technician Mr. Jesus Roman completed the site inspections at the Direction of Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor Mr. Alexander Blankevoort. Prior to sample collection, ENCORP’s representatives conducted a visual investigation of the property to identify and quantify all lead painted building materials within the scope of work. Upon completion of the visual investigation, building materials were grouped into homogeneous categories and samples were collected from the suspect LBPM’s previously identified.
INSPECTION RESULTS
Lead-Based Painted Components (LBPC’s) were widely used in the construction industry prior to 1978. In
addition to finding the materials on accessible facility components and/or mechanical items, there are frequently shafts and/or other void spaces created by the structure itself, which will contain lead-based paint. All facilities built prior to 1978 are suspect for lead containing materials. Paint bulk sample collection, sampling via X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrum Analyzer or a combination of both, are the only approved methods of identification recognized by federal and state regulations. This inspection was conducted via XRF
Instrumentation. The parameters used to interpret the XRF results are outlined in the HUD Guidelines. According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Guideline Document, Guidelines For The Evaluation and Control of Lead Based Paint Hazards in Housing; and Section 1017 of the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title X), paint which is found to have a concentration of at least 1.0 mg/cm2 (milligrams per centimeters squared) by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) or 0.5 percent (5000
parts per million) by weight is considered to be regulated as lead based paint. It should be noted the CAL/OSHA considers all lead surface levels to be of concerns. The scope of work performed by ENCORP was to conduct a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) LBP Inspection of the exterior and interior substrates of the Site building (s). The following listed regulations were applied:
• 24 CFR Part 35.80-35.98 and 35.3120(b) – U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
• Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 406
• 40 CFR 745.103 – Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• Title 17 Section 35000 – Code of California Regulations
• Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 1532.1 – California Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 5194 – California Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• Title 17, CCR, Division 1, Chapter 8 and 24 CFR Subtitle A, Part 35.125, Form 8552 Notification

SAMPLING METHODOLOGY
The Niton XRF Spectrum Analyzer was utilized for the analysis of suspect lead-based painted materials. In this method of analysis, the material is exposed to X-Rays or other high-energy radiation (such as gamma rays), which causes lead to emit X-Rays with a characteristic frequency. The intensity of this radiation is measured by the instrument’s detector and is then converted into a number that represents the amount of lead in the material per unit area, usually milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2). Analytical sensitivity of the of the XRF measurement methodology reports positive lead-based content results at or above 1.0 mg/cm2, presence of lead content result between 0.1 and 0.9 mg/cm2, and negative results at less than 0.1 mg/cm2. Testing of the painted surfaces was performed in accordance to inspection protocol in Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines. In every “room equivalent” within the tested property, one representative surface of each “testing combination” was tested. Commonly encountered interior components tested (if painted or varnished) included walls, baseboard, doors, door trim, jambs, windows assemblies, trims and windowsills. Typical exterior components that were tested included the walls, fascia, doors and assemblies, and window assemblies. An appropriate number of readings were collected from interior and exterior building components and common areas. Multiple readings were collected to resolve inconsistencies in the test results. The XRF used was the Niton LLC, Model XLp300, manufactured by Thermo Scientific. No time setting is required with this option since the device automatically adjusts its reading time to the different paint substrates for precision. The duration of each test result was determined by the substrate density in combination with the age of the radioactive source of the device and the actual reading relative to the "abatement" level (threshold)
chosen. An XRF Performance Characteristic Sheet (PCS) developed jointly by HUD and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the Niton LLC, Model XLp300 was used. The PCS provides information necessary to conduct an inspection of LBP using specific XRF. Based on the PCS, no inconclusive readings on brick, concrete, drywall, plaster, or wood substrates are reported.
Field calibration checks were performed prior, during, and after each XRF lead inspection (at least within 4 hours) to determine that the device is functioning within acceptable limits (tolerance) determined by the manufacturer. Three readings of the Standard Reference Material (SRM) paint film, developed by the National
Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) were taken in the confirmation mode option during each calibration check. Each set of readings were averaged and compared to the PCS calibration check limit for the device.
Maps are provided with locations of positive lead-based sampling results. A copy of the Site Map(s) is contained in the field documentation section of the report.
Lead-Based Paint (LBP) is a term used by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) program. It defines paint with lead levels equal to or exceeding 1.0 milligram
per square centimeter (1mg/cm2), 0.5 percent by weight (% Lead w/w) or 5,000 ppm. The HUD and EPA have set a lead level of 1.0 mg/cm2 as being a regulated lead-containing material. Los Angeles County has set a lead level of 0.7 mg/cm2, 0.06 percent by weight (% Lead w/w) or 600 ppm regulated lead-containing material.

DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (LEAD)
Lead-based paint was not identified in this scope of work.
All suspect lead-based painted components were tested utilizing Niton Spectrum Analyzer and found below 0.7 mg/cm2. All components with results of 0.7 mg/cm2 and above are considered lead-based painted for the County of Los Angeles. Analytical sensitivity of the of the XRF measurement methodology reports positive lead-based content results at or above 1.0 mg/cm2, presence of lead content result between 0.1 and 0.9 mg/cm2, and negative results at less than 0.1 mg/cm2. CAL/OSHA considers all lead surface levels to be of concerns for the purpose of worker protection and requiring employers to provide awareness of lead content, training, and personal protective equipment.
