requisite and necessary for the City, its officers, agents, servants and employees, or any of them, to use
such invention, article, material or appliance without being disturbed or in any way interfered with by any
proceeding in law or equity on account thereof. Should the Contractor neglect or refuse to make the
substitution promptly, or to pay such royalties and secure such licenses as may be necessary, then in that
event the Project Manager shall have the right to make such substitution, or the City may pay such royalties

assumption of risk or liability by the City or any officer or employee thereof and the Contractor shall have no
claim under this contract on account of the failure or partial failure or inefficiency of any plan or method so
approved. Such approval shall be considered to mean merely that the Project Manager has no objection to
the Contractor's using, upon his or her own full responsibility the plan or method approved.

requirements.
6-17. Errors and Omissions. If the Contractor, in the course of the work, finds any errors or omissions in
plans or in the layout as given by survey points and instruction, or if he or she finds any discrepancy between

Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 11 Spec 15-04
threatening or abusive language to any person on the work representing the City, or is otherwise
unsatisfactory, such person shall be discharged immediately from the work and shall not be re-employed
upon it except with the consent of the Project Manager.
6-21. Wage Rates.
1. Contractor shall pay all mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the work
unconditionally and without subsequent deductions or rebate on any account the full amounts due at
the time of payment at wage rates not less than those contained in the applicable prevailing wage
determination, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the
Contractor and subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics.
2. Contractor shall comply with the California Labor Code Section 1775. In accordance with said
Section 1775, Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the Owner, $50.00 for each calendar day or
portion thereof, for each workman paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for such work or craft
in which such workman is employed for any work done under the Contract by him or her or by any
subcontractor under him or her in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code and in particular,
Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive. In addition to said penalty and pursuant to Section
1775, the difference between such stipulated prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each
workman for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each workman was paid less than the
stipulated prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each workman by the Contractor.
3. Pursuant to the provision of Section 1770 of the Labor Code of the State of California, Owner has
ascertained the general prevailing rate of wages (which rate includes employer payments for health
and welfare, vacation, pension and similar purposes) applicable to the work to be done, for straight
time work. The holiday wage rate listed shall be applicable to all holidays recognized in the collective
bargaining agreement of the particular craft, classification or type of workmen concerned. Copies of
the General Prevailing Wage Determination are available on the Internet at web address:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD The Contractor shall post the wage determination at the site of
work in a prominent place where it can easily be seen by the workers.
4. City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because the Contractor has paid any
rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate obtained by the Contractor. The possibility of wage
increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining his or her bid and
will not in any circumstances be considered as the basis for a claim against the City.
5. Travel and Subsistence Payments.
Contractor shall make travel and subsistence payments to each workman needed to execute
the work in accordance with the requirements in Section 1773.8 of the Labor Code (Chapter
880, Statutes of 1968).

Attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5 (Chapter 1411, Statutes of 1968)
and 1777.6 of the California Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the
Contractor or any subcontractor under him. Contractor and any subcontractor under him or
her shall comply with the requirements of said sections in the employment of apprentices.
Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules and other requirements
may be obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of
Apprenticeship, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards
and its branch offices.
6-22. Cleaning Up. The Contractor shall not allow the site of the work to become littered with trash and
waste material, but shall maintain the same in a neat and orderly condition throughout the construction
period. The Project Manager shall have the right to determine what is or is not waste material or rubbish and
the place and manner of disposal.
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 12 Spec 15-04
On or before the completion of the work, the Contractor shall without charge therefore carefully clean out all
pits, pipes, chambers or conduits and shall tear down and remove all temporary structures built by him or her
and shall remove rubbish of all kind from any of the grounds which he or she has occupied and leave them in
first class condition.
6-23. Guaranty. All work shall be guaranteed for a period of one year from the date of acceptance by the
City. The Contractor shall promptly make all needed repairs arising out of defective materials, workmanship
and equipment.
The City is hereby authorized to make such repairs if within ten days after the mailing of a notice in writing to
the Contractor or his or her agent, the Contractor shall neglect to make or undertake with due diligence the
aforesaid repairs, provided, however, that in case of an emergency where, in the opinion of the City delay
would cause serious loss or damage, repairs may be made without notice being sent to the Contractor and
the Contractor shall pay the costs thereof.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 4-03 of these Special Provisions, the Contractor shall furnish a
Defective Material and Workmanship Bond in an amount not less than 5 percent of the final contract price,
which shall be effective for a period of one (1) year after the completion and acceptance of the work.
SECTION 7. RESPONSIBILITIES AND RIGHTS OF CITY
7-01. Authority of the Project Manager. All work done under this contract shall be done in a workmanlike
manner and shall be performed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Project Manager, who shall have
general supervision of all work included hereunder. To prevent disputes and litigation, the Project Manager
(1) shall in all cases determine the amount, quality, acceptability and fitness of the several kinds of work and
materials which are to be paid for under this contract, (2) shall decide all questions relative to the true
construction, meaning and intent of the Special Provisions and Drawings, (3) shall decide all questions which
may arise relative to the classifications and measurements of quantities and materials and the fulfillment of
this contract and (4) shall have the power to reject or condemn all work or material which does not conform
to the terms of this contract. His or her estimate and decision in all matters shall be a condition precedent to
an appeal for arbitration, or the right of the Contractor to receive, demand, or claim any money or other
compensation under this agreement and a condition precedent to any liability on the part of the City to the
Contractor on account of this contract. Whenever the Project Manager shall be unable to act, in
consequence of absence or other cause, then such Project Manager as the City shall designate, shall
perform any and all of the duties and be vested with any or all of the powers herein given to the Project
Manger.
7-02. Inspection. The City will provide personnel for the inspection of the work.
The Project Manager and his or her representatives shall at all times have access to the work whenever it is
in preparation or progress and the Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such access and inspection.
If the Special Provisions, the Project Manager instruction, laws, ordinances, or any public authority requires
any work to be specially tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Project Manager timely notice of its
readiness for inspection and, if the inspection is by an authority other than the Project Manager, of the date
fixed for such inspection. Inspections by the Project Manager shall be promptly made at the source of supply
where practicable. If any work shall be covered up without approval or consent of the Project Manager, it
must, if required by the Project Manager, be uncovered for examination and properly restored at the
Contractor's expense.
Re-examination of any work may be ordered by the Project Manager and, if so ordered, the work must be
uncovered by the Contractor. If such work is found to be in accordance with the contract documents, the City
shall pay the cost of re-examination and replacement. If such work is not in accordance with the contract
documents, the Contractor shall pay such cost.
Properly authorized and accredited inspectors shall be considered to be the representatives of the City
limited to the duties and powers entrusted to them. It will be their duty to inspect materials and workmanship
of those portions of the work to which they are assigned, either individually or collectively, under instructions
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 13 Spec 15-04
of the Project Manager and to report any and all deviations from the Drawings, Special Provisions and other
contract provisions which may come to their notice. Any inspector may be considered to have the right to
order the work entrusted to his or her supervision stopped, if in his or her opinion such action becomes
necessary, until the Project Manager r is notified and has determined and ordered that the work may proceed
in due fulfillment of all contract requirements.
7-03. Surveys. Contractor shall furnish all land surveys, establish all base lines and bench marks and make
sufficient detailed surveys needed for working points, lines and elevations. The Contractor shall develop all
slope stakes and batter boards. Contractor shall also develop all additional working points, lines and
elevations as he or she may desire to facilitate his or her methods and sequence of construction.
7-04. Rights-of-Way. The City will provide all necessary rights-of-way and easements in or beneath which
work will be performed by the Contractor under this contract.
7-05. Retention of Imperfect Work. If any portion of the work done or material furnished under this
contract shall prove defective and not in accordance with the Plans and Special Provisions, and if the
imperfection in the same shall not be of sufficient magnitude or importance to make the work dangerous or
undesirable, the Project Manager shall have the right and authority to retain such work instead of requiring
the imperfect work to be removed and reconstructed, but he or she shall make such deductions therefore in
the payments due or to become due the Contractor as may be just and reasonable.
7-06. Changes in the Work. The Project Manager shall have the right, in writing, to order additions to,
omissions from, or corrections, alterations and modifications in the line, grade, form, dimensions, plan, or
kind or amount of work or materials herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before or after the
beginning of construction. However, the arithmetical sum of the cost to the City of additions and subtractions
from the work under this contract shall not exceed 10 percent of original contract amount or $25,000,
whichever is the lesser, unless based upon a supplementary agreement to be made therefore.
The order of such additions, omissions, corrections, alterations and modifications shall be in writing and
signed by the Project Manager and, in order, shall then be binding upon the Contractor. The Contractor shall
proceed with the work as changed and the value of such change shall be determined as provided for in
section 10-07 of these Special Provisions.
Such alterations shall in no way affect, vitiate, or make void this contract or any part thereof, except that
which is necessarily affected by such alterations and is clearly the evident intention of the parties to this
contract.
7-07. Additional Drawings by City. The drawings made a part of this contract at the time of its execution
are intended to be fairly comprehensive and to indicate in more or less detail the scope of the work. In
addition to these drawings, however, the Project Manager shall furnish such additional drawings from time to
time during the progress of the work as are necessary to make clear or to define in greater detail the intent of
the Special Provisions and the contract drawings and the Contractor shall make his or her work conform to
all such drawings.
7-08. Additional and Emergency Protection. Whenever, in the opinion of the Project Manager, the
Contractor has not taken sufficient precautions for the safety of the public or the protection of the works to be
constructed under this contract, or of adjacent structures or property which may be injured by the processes
of construction on account of such neglect and whenever, in the opinion of the Project Manager, an
emergency shall arise and immediate action shall be considered necessary in order to protect public or
private, personal or property interest, then and in that event, the Project Manager, with or without notice to
the Contractor may provide suitable protection to the said interests by causing such work to be done and
such material to be furnished as shall provide such protection as the Project Manager may consider
necessary and adequate.
The cost and expense of such work and material so furnished shall be borne by the Contractor and, if the
same shall not be paid on presentation of the bills therefore, then such costs shall be deducted from any
amounts due or to become due the Contractor.
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 14 Spec 15-04
The performance of such emergency work under the direction of the Project Manager shall in no way relieve
the Contractor from any damages which may occur during or after such precaution has been taken by the
Project Manager.
7-09. Suspension of Work. The City may at any time suspend the work or any part thereof by giving five
(5) days written notice to the Contractor. The work shall be resumed by the Contractor within ten (10) days
after the date fixed in the written notice from the City to the Contractor so to do. The City shall reimburse the
Contractor for expense incurred by the Contractor in connection with the work under this contract as a result
of such suspension.
If the work, or any part thereof, shall be stopped by the notice in writing aforesaid and if the City does not
give notice in writing to the Contractor to resume work at a date within ten (10) days of the date fixed in the
written notice to suspend, then the Contractor may abandon that portion of the work so suspended and he or
she will be entitled to the estimates and payments for all work done on the portions so abandoned, if any,
plus 5 percent of the value of the work so abandoned, to compensate for loss of overhead, plant expense
and anticipated profit.
7-10. Right of City to Terminate Contract. If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he or she
should make a general assignment for the benefit of his or her creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed
on account of his or her insolvency, or if he or she should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail,
except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply sufficient properly skilled workmen or
proper materials, or if he or she should fail to make prompt payments to subcontractors or for material or
labor, or persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the Project Manager, or otherwise be
guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of the contract, then the City, upon the certificate of the
Project Manager that sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may, without prejudice to any other right or
remedy and after giving the Contractor seven days written notice, terminate the employment of the
Contractor and take possession of the premises and of all materials, tools and appliances and finish the work
by whatever method the City may deem expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to
receive any further payment until the work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price shall exceed
the expense of finishing the work, including compensation for additional managerial and administrative
services; such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, the
Contractor shall pay the difference to the City. The expense incurred by the City as herein provided and the
damage incurred through the Contractor's default, shall be certified by the Project Manager.
7-11. Use of Completed Portions. The City shall have the right to take possession of and use any
completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work
or such portions which may not have expired; but such taking possession and using shall not be deemed an
acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the contract documents. If such prior use
increases the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or
extension of time or both, as the Project Manager may determine.
SECTION 8. WORKMANSHIP, MATERIALS and EQUIPMENT
8-01. General Quality. Materials and equipment shall be new and of a quality equal to that specified or
approved. Work shall be done and completed in a thorough and workmanlike manner.
8-02. Quality in Absence of Detailed Specifications. Whenever under this contract it is provided that the
Contractor shall furnish materials or manufactured articles or shall do work for which no detailed
specifications are set forth, the materials or manufactured articles shall be of the best grade in quality and
workmanship obtainable in the market from firms of established good reputation, or, if not ordinarily carried in
stock, shall conform to the usual standards for first-class materials or articles of the kind required, with due
consideration of the use to which they are to be put. In general, the work performed shall be in full conformity
and harmony with the intent to secure the best standard of construction and equipment of the work as a
whole or in part.
8-03. Materials and Equipment Specified by Name. Whenever any material or equipment is indicated or
specified by patent or proprietary name or by the name of the manufacturer, such specification shall be
considered as used for the purpose of describing the material or equipment desired and shall be considered
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 15 Spec 15-04
as followed by the words "or approved equal". The Contractor may offer any material or equipment which
shall be equal in every respect to that specified, provided that written approval first is obtained from the
Project Manager.
8-04. Source of Materials. Price, fitness and quality being equal, preference shall be given by the
Contractor for supplies grown, manufactured or produced in the State of California and, next, for such
products partially produced in this State in accordance with Government Code Section 4332.
8-05. Storage of Materials. Materials shall be so stored to ensure the preservation of their quality and
fitness for the work. They shall be so located and disposed that prompt and proper inspection thereof may be
made.
8-06. Drawings, Samples and Tests. As soon as possible after execution of the contract, the Contractor
shall submit to the Project Manager, in quintuplicate, sufficient information including, if necessary, assembly
and detail drawings to demonstrate fully that the equipment and materials to be furnished comply with the
provisions and intent of these Special Provisions and Drawings. If the information thus submitted indicates
the equipment or materials is acceptable, the Project Manager will return one copy stamped with his or her
approval; otherwise, one copy will be returned with an explanation of why the equipment or material is
unsatisfactory. The Contractor shall have no claims for damages or for extension of time on account of any
delay due to the revision of drawings or rejection of material. Fabrication or other work performed in advance
of approval shall be done entirely at the Contractor's risk. After approval of equipment or material, the
Contractor shall not deviate in any way from the design and specifications given without the written consent
of the Project Manager.
When requested by the Project Manager, a sample or test specimens of the materials to be used or offered
for use in connection with the work shall be prepared at the expense of the Contractor and furnished by him
or her in such quantities and sizes as may be required for proper examination and tests, with all freight
charges prepaid and with information as to their sources.
All samples shall be submitted before shipment and in ample time to permit the making of proper tests,
analyses, or examination before the time at which it is desired to incorporate the material into the work. All
tests of materials furnished by the Contractor shall be made by the Project Manager. Samples shall be
secured and tested whenever necessary to determine the quality of the material.
SECTION 9. PROSECUTION OF WORK
9-01. Equipment and Methods. The work under this contract shall be prosecuted with all materials, tools,
machinery, apparatus and labor and by such methods as are necessary to the complete execution of
everything described, shown, or reasonably implied. If at any time before the beginning or during the
progress of the work, any part of the Contractor's plant or equipment, or any of his or her methods of
execution of the work, appear to the Project Manager to be unsafe, inefficient, or inadequate to insure the
required quality or the rate of progress of the work, he or she may order the Contractor to increase or
improve his or her facilities or methods and the Contractor shall comply promptly with such orders; but,
neither compliance with such orders nor failure of the Project Manager to issue such orders shall relieve the
Contractor from his or her obligation to secure the degree of safety, the quality of the work and the rate of
progress required of the Contractor. The Contractor alone shall be responsible for the safety, adequacy and
efficiency of his or her plant, equipment and methods.
9-02. Time of Completion. The Contractor shall promptly begin the work under this contract and shall
complete and make ready for full use all portions of the project made the subject of this contract within the
time set forth in the agreement bound herewith.
9-03. Avoidable Delays. Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all
delays which might have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence on the part
of the Contractor. The City will consider as avoidable delays within the meaning of this contract (1) delays in
the prosecution of parts of the work, which may in themselves be unavoidable, but do not necessarily
prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work nor the completion of the whole work within the
time herein specified, (2) reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting plans to the
Project Manager for approval and from the making of surveys, measurements, inspections, and testing and
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 16 Spec 15-04
(3) such interruptions as may occur in the prosecution of the work on account of the reasonable interference
of other contractors employed by the City which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work
within the time herein specified.
9-04. Unavoidable Delays. Unavoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work under this
contract shall include all delays which may result, through cause beyond the control of the Contractor and
which he or she could not have provided against by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence.
Orders issued by the City changing the amount of work to be done, the quantity of material to be furnished or
the manner in which the work is to be prosecuted and unforeseen delays in the completion of the work of
other contractors under contract with the City will be considered unavoidable delays, so far as they
necessarily interfere with the Contractor's completion of the whole of the work. Delays due to normally
adverse weather conditions will not be regarded as unavoidable delays. However, truly abnormal amounts of
rainfall, temperatures or other weather conditions for the location of the work and time of year may be
considered as unavoidable delays if those conditions necessarily cause a delay in the completion of the
work.
9-05. Notice of Delays. Whenever the Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work and, in
any event, immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the contractor regards as an unavoidable
delay, he or she shall notify the Project Manager in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay
and its cause, in order that the Project Manager may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the
occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if this cannot be done, may determine whether the delay is to be
considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues and to what extent the prosecution and
completion of the work are to be delayed thereby.
9-06. Extension of Time. Should any delays occur which the Project Manager may consider unavoidable,
as herein defined, the Contractor shall, pursuant to his or her application, be allowed an extension of time
proportional to said delay or delays, beyond the time herein set forth, in which to complete this contract; and
liquidated damages for delay shall not be charged against the Contractor by the City during an extension of
time granted because of unavoidable delay or delays.
Any claim by Contractor for a time extension based on unavoidable delays shall be based on written notice
delivered to the Project Manager within 15 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim.
Failure to file said written notice within the time specified shall constitute a waiver of said claim. Notice of the
full extent of the claim and all supporting data must be delivered to the Project Manager within 45 days of the
occurrence unless the Project Manager specifies in writing a longer period. All claims for a time extension
must be approved by the Project Manager and incorporated into a written change order.
9-07. Unfavorable Weather and Other Conditions. During unfavorable weather and other conditions, the
Contractor shall pursue only such portions of the work as shall not be damaged thereby. No portions of the
work whose satisfactory quality or efficiency will be affected by any unfavorable conditions shall be
constructed while these conditions remain, unless, by special means or precautions approved by the Project
Manager, the Contractor shall be able to overcome them.
The Contractor shall be granted a time extension of one day for each unfavorable weather day which
prevents him or her from placing concrete forms or placing and finishing concrete or asphalt concrete. Such
unfavorable weather day is defined as a rain day where precipitation prevents the contractor from performing
the work more than four (4) continuous hours within the authorized work period or a temperature day where
the ambient temperature is below that specified for the placement of materials associated with the controlling
work item for more than four (4) continuous work hours of the authorized work period.
9-08. Saturday, Sunday, Holiday and Night Work. No work shall be done between the hours of 6 p.m.
and 7 a.m., nor on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays except such work as is necessary for the proper
care and protection of work already performed, or except in cases of absolute necessity and in any case only
with the permission of the Project Manager. No lane closures will be allowed between the peak hours: 4:30
PM to 5:30 AM.
It is understood, however, that night work may be established as a regular procedure by the Contractor if he

Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 19 Spec 15-04
himself as to the actual completion of the work in accordance with the terms of the contract and shall
thereupon recommend acceptance by the City Council.
10-05. Final Estimate and Payment. The Project Manager shall, as soon as practicable after the final
acceptance of the work done under this contract, make a final estimate of the amount of work done there
under and the value thereof.
Such final estimate shall be signed by the Project Manager, and after approval, the City shall pay or cause to
be paid to the Contractor, in the manner provided by law, the entire sum so found to be due hereunder, after
deducting there from all previous payments and such other lawful amounts as the terms of this contract
prescribe.
In no case will final payment be made in less than thirty-five (35) days after the filing of the notice of
completion with the County Recorder.
10-06. Delay Payments. Should any payment due the Contractor or any estimate be delayed, through fault
of the City beyond the time stipulated, such delay shall not constitute a breach of contract or be the basis for
a claim for damages, but the City shall pay the Contractor interest on the amount of the payment at the rate
of 6 percent per annum for the period of such delay. The terms for which interest will be paid shall be
reckoned, in the case of any monthly or progress payment, from the twentieth day of the month next
succeeding the month in which the work was performed to the date of payment of the estimate; and in the
case of the final estimate, from the forty-fifth day after acceptance to the date of payment of the final
estimate.
The date of payment of any estimate shall be considered the day on which the payment is offered or mailed
as evidenced by the records of the Treasurer of the City. If interest shall become due on any delayed
payment, the amount thereof, as determined by the City, shall be added to a succeeding payment. If the
interest shall become due on the final payment, it shall be paid on a supplementary voucher to interest or
any sum or sums which, by the terms of this contract, the City is authorized to reserve or retain.
10-07. Extra Work and Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, alterations, or modifications of the work
under this contract ordered by the Project Manager and approved by the City increase the amount of work to
be done, such added work shall be known as "extra work"; and when such corrections, alterations, or
modifications decrease the amount of work to be done, such subtracted work shall be known as "work
omitted".
When the Contractor considers that any changes ordered involve extra work, he or she shall immediately
notify the Project Manager in writing and subsequently keep him or her informed as to when and where extra
work is to be performed and shall make claim for compensation therefore each month not later than the first
day of the month following that in which the work claimed to be extra work was performed and he or she
shall submit a daily complete statement of materials and labor used and expenses incurred on account of
extra work performed, showing allocation of all materials, labor and expenses.
All such claims shall state the date of the Project Manager's written order and the date of approval by the
City authorizing the work on account of which claim is made. Unless such notification is made in writing
within the time specified and unless complete statements of materials used and expenses incurred on
account of such extra work are furnished as above required, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment
on account of extra work and Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the right to make any future claims
for compensation for such extra work.
When changes decrease the amount of work to be done, they shall not constitute a claim for damages on
account of anticipated profits on the work that may be omitted.
10-08. Compensation for Extra Work or Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, additions, or
modifications in the work under this contract change the amount of work to be done or the amount of
compensation due the Contractor, excepting increases or decreases in contract items having unit contract
prices for each measurable quantity installed in place, and such changes have been ordered in writing by the
Project Manager and approved by the City prior to the Contractor performing the extra work, then a price
may be agreed upon. Failing such an agreement in price, the Contractor shall be compensated for
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 20 Spec 15-04
performing extra work pursuant to the provisions of Section 4-1.03 D,"Extra Work", and Section 9-
1.03,"Force Account Payment" of the Standard Specifications.
This method of determining the price of work shall not apply to the performance of any work which is
required or reasonably implied to be performed or furnished under this contract.
10-09. Compensation to the City for Extension of Time. In case the work called for under this contract is
not completed within the time limit stipulated herein, the City shall have the right as provided hereinabove, to
extend the time of completion thereof. If the time limit be so extended, the City shall have the right to charge
to the Contractor and to deduct from the final payment for the work the actual cost to the City of engineering,
inspection, superintendence and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the contract and
which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final unavoidable delays shall not
be included in such charges.
10-10. Liquidated Damages for Delay. It is agreed by the parties to the contract that time is of the
essence and that, in case all the work is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time limit as set
forth, damage, other than those cost items identified in section 10-09, will be sustained by the City and that it
is and will be impracticable to determine the actual amount of damage by reason of such delay; and it is
therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay to the City the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per day for
each and every calendar days delay beyond the time prescribed.

FOR

Specification No. 15-04
THIS AGREEMENT, made this ______ day of ___________________, 20____, by and between the City of
Ukiah, Mendocino County, California, hereinafter called the City and , hereinafter called the Contractor,
WITNESSED:
WHEREAS, the City has caused to be prepared in accordance with law, specifications, drawings and other
contract documents for the work herein described and shown and has approved and adopted these contract
documents, specifications and drawings and has caused to be published in the manner and for the time
required by law a notice to bidders inviting sealed proposals for doing the work in accordance with the terms
of this contract and
WHEREAS, the Contractor, in response to the notice to bidders, has submitted to the City a sealed proposal
accompanied by a proposal guaranty in an amount of not less than 10 percent of the bid price for the
construction of the proposed work in accordance with the terms of this contract and
WHEREAS, the City, in the manner prescribed by law, has publicly opened, examined and canvassed the
proposals submitted and as a result has determined and declared the Contractor to be the lowest and best
regular responsible bidder for the work and for the sums named in the proposal,
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSED:
Article 1. Work to be Done and Contract Days Allowed.
That the Contractor shall provide all necessary machinery, tools, apparatus and other means of construction;
shall furnish all materials (as described), superintendence, overhead, expenses, all labor and expenses of
whatever nature necessary for completion of the work in conformity with the Special Provisions and other
contract documents hereto attached and according to such instructions as may be given by the Project
Manager. The Contractor shall complete the work within forty-five (45) calendar days. Contract days shall be
counted starting with the 10th day following receipt of notice that the contract has been executed by the City.
Contractor, at his or her option, may begin work prior to start of counting contract days, however, in no event

work, without obtaining an encroachment permit from the City, or without having submitted certificates of
insurance that have been accepted and approved by the Engineer
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 47 Spec 15-04
Article II. Contract Prices.
That the City shall pay the Contractor the prices stated in the proposal submitted by the Contractor, for
complete performance of the contract by the Contractor. The Contractor hereby agrees to accept the prices
as full compensation for all material and appliances necessary to the work, for all labor and use of tools and
other implements necessary to execute the work contemplated in this contract; for all loss or damage arising
out of the nature of the work or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen obstructions or
difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work; for all risks of every description
connected therewith; for all expenses of the work, as herein specified; for all liability and other insurance, for
all overhead and other expenses incident to the work; all according to the Contract Drawings, the Special
Provisions, the Details, the instructions and the requirements of the City.
Article III. Labor Discrimination.
Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code, which reads as follows:
"No discrimination shall be made in the employment of persons upon public works because of the
race, color, national origin or ancestry, or religion of such persons and every contractor for public
works violating this section is subject to all the penalties imposed for a violation of this chapter."
In connection with the performance of work under this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:
(a) The Contractor will not willfully discriminate against any employee or an applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, ancestry, or national origin. The Contractor will
take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated
during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, ancestry, or national origin. Such
action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or
transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms
of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to
post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to
be provided by the awarding authority setting forth the provisions of this Fair Employment
Practice section.
(b) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he or she
has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice, to be
provided by the awarding authority, advising the said labor union or worker's representative of
the Contractor's commitments under this section, to employees and applicants for employment.
(c) The Contractor will permit access to his or her records of employment, employment
advertisements, application forms and other pertinent data and records by the Fair Employment
Practices Commission, City of Ukiah or any other appropriate agency of the State of California
designated by the awarding authority, for the purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance
with the Fair Employment Practices section of this contract.
(d) A finding of willful violation of the Fair Employment Practices section of this Contract or of the
Fair Employment Practices Act shall be regarded by the awarding authority as a basis for
determining the Contractor to be not a "responsible bidder" as to future contracts for which such
Contractor may submit bids, for revoking the Contractor's pre-qualification rating, if any and for
refusing to establish, reestablish or renew a pre-qualification rating for the Contractor.
The City of Ukiah shall deem a finding of willful receipt of written notice from the Fair
Employment Practices Act to have occurred upon that it has investigated and determined that
Low Gap to Despina 200/600 Amp Loop Project 48 Spec 15-04
the Contractor has violated the Fair Employment Practices Act and has issued an order under
Labor Code Section 1426 or obtained an injunction under Labor Code Section 1429.
Upon receipt of such written notice from the Fair Employment Practices Commission, the City
shall notify the Contractor that unless he or she demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
awarding authority within a stated period that the violation has been corrected, his or her pre-
qualification rating will be revoked at the expiration of such period.
(e) The Contractor agrees that should the City determine that the Contractor has not complied with
the Fair Employment Practices section of this Contract, then pursuant to Labor Code Section
1735 and 1775 the Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit for each calendar day or
portion thereof, for each person who was denied employment as a result of such non-
compliance, the penalties provided in the Labor Code for violation of prevailing wage rates.
Such monies may be recovered from the Contractor. The City may deduct any such damages
from any monies due the Contractor.
(f) Nothing contained in this Fair Employment Practices section shall be construed in any manner
of fashion so as to prevent the City or the State of California from pursuing any other remedies
that may be available at law.
(g) Prior to awarding the Contract, the Contractor shall certify to the awarding authority that he or
she has or will meet the following standards for affirmative compliance, which shall be
evaluated in each case by the awarding authority:
(1) The Contractor shall provide evidence, as required by the City that he or she has notified all
supervisors, foremen and other personnel officers in writing of the content of the anti-
discrimination clause and their responsibilities under it.
(2) The Contractor shall provide evidence, as required by the City, that he or she has notified
all sources of employees’ referrals (including unions, employment agencies, advertisements,
Department of Employment) of the content of the anti-discrimination clause.
(3) The Contractor shall file a basic compliance report, as required by the City. Willfully false
statements made in such reports shall be punishable as provided by law. The compliance
report shall also spell out the sources of the work force and who has the responsibility for
determining whom to hire, or whether or not to hire.
(4) Personally, or through his or her representatives, the Contractor shall, through negotiations
with the unions with whom he or she has agreements, attempt to develop an agreement which
will:
a. Spell out responsibilities for nondiscrimination in hiring, referral, upgrading and training.
b. Otherwise implement an affirmative anti-discrimination program in terms of the unions'
specific areas of skill and geography to the end that qualified minority workers will be
available and given and equal opportunity for employment.
(5) The Contractor shall notify the City of opposition to the anti-discrimination clause by
individuals, firms or organizations during the period of its pre-qualification.
(h) The Contractor will include the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs 1 through 5 in every first
tier subcontract so that such provisions will be binding upon each such subcontractor.
