Planned Electric Utility Department Relocation
Ukiah, California
Dear Mr. Grandi:
Introduction
LACO Associates Inc. (LACO) is pleased to present this proposal to perform a geotechnical
exploration in connection with the subject project. The project site is located at 1350 Hastings Road in
Ukiah. The City of Ukiah, Electric Utility Department (the Department) is planning to relocate its field
operations and component inventory to the site. The project will include construction of a new
retaining wall, up to 4 feet high, two new solar arrays, and a new commercial driveway and parking
lot. The commercial driveway will be subjected to Department vehicles, including semi -tractor rigs,
which produce substantial wheel loads. To construct the project, fills up to 4 feet high will be required.
Scope of Services
1. Review existing published data and information regarding the geologic/geotechnical conditions
at the site.
2. Perform the necessary planning activities to schedule and coordinate drilling subcontractor, utility
clearance, and site access.
3. Perform a reconnaissance of the site to mark test borings and evaluate existing surface
conditions in the project area.
4. Explore subsurface conditions by drilling 5 test borings, approximately 5 to 15 feet deep. One 15 -
foot -deep boring will be drilled at each end of each planned solar array locations; the 5 -foot
boring will be drilled in the commercial driveway.
5. Log the borings and obtain both relatively undisturbed and disturbed samples for laboratory
testing.
6. Perform laboratory tests to estimate the strength, classification, moisture/density, and R -value of
soils encountered in our test borings.
7. Perform the necessary data evaluations and engineering analysis to develop conclusions and
recommendations regarding the following:
• Foundation type(s) for solar array structures and retaining wall
• Design criteria for recommended foundations type(s)
• Estimates of foundation settlement
• Lateral earth pressures for retaining wall design
• Seismic design criteria in accordance with the California Building Code
• Flexible pavement design
• Construction considerations
8. Present the results of our services in a brief report that includes field and laboratory test data.

Assumptions
• Based on initial literature review, LACO assumes that geotechnical borings will extend no
deeper than 15 feet and that the necessary information can be obtained utilizing hollow -
stem auger drilling methods.
USA will be notified following marking of boring locations in white paint, as required by state
law. LACO is not responsible for underground utilities not located by USA that may become
damaged during the course of the subsurface exploration.
The proposed boring locations are accessible to a drill rig, and traffic control is not required
and/or will be provided by others.
An encroachment permit will not be required to perform our field exploration activities.
Borings will be backfilled with drill cuttings and patch cold mix asphalt.
An environmental assessment or any exploration for the presence or absence of any
hazardous, toxic, or corrosive materials is not included in the scope of this exploration.
CLIENT to provide copies of correspondence from permitting agencies (if any) and secure
free and unrestricted access to the project site(s) for the purposes of field exploration.
• Services other than those specified herein will require an agreement amendment and
additional negotiated fee.
Fee and Schedule
LACO will perform the services described above for a lump sum of $7,000. We will proceed
immediately upon receipt of written notice to proceed. We estimate our field work will be performed
within two weeks of authorization; our report will be issued within 4 weeks of completion of our field
work.

FOR
PURCHASE ORDERS FOR PUBLIC WORK
COSTING BETWEEN $1,000 AND $45,000
Date: 6/16/2016
Vendor agrees to comply with the following requirement.
1. New SB 854 requirements
1.1 No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public
works project (submitted on or after March 1, 2015) unless registered with the
Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited
exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section
1771.1(a)].
1.2 No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work
on a public works project (awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless registered with the
Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.
1.3 This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the
Department of Industrial Relations.
1.4 The Labor Commissioner through the Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement (DLSE) may at any time require contractors and subcontractors to furnish
electronic certified payroll records directly to DLSE. Commencing with contracts
awarded or after April 1, 2015, all contractors and subcontractors must furnish electronic
certified payroll records directly to the DLSE.
1.5 The Prime Contractor is required to post job notices at the job site as
prescribed by regulations (currently, 8 CCR § 16451(d).)
2. Use of Employees.
2.1. Contractor and any subcontractors shall pay all mechanics and laborers
employed by them to work 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.
2.2. Contractor shall comply with the California Labor Code Section 1775. In
accordance with said Section 1775, Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the City,
$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
Attachment A -Prevailing Wage Addendum
1
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.
2.3. Pursuant to the provision of Section 1770 of the Labor Code of the State of
California, City 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 workers concerned. Copies of the General
Prevailing Wage Determination are on file in the office of the City Engineer and are
available to the Contractor on request. The Contractor shall post the wage determination
at the site of work in a prominent place where the workers can easily see it.
2.4. 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
Engineer. 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.
2.5. Travel and Subsistence Payments.
Contractor shall make travel and subsistence payments to each worker needed to
execute the work in accordance with the requirements in Section 1773.8 of the Labor
Code (Chapter 880, Statutes of 1968).
2.6. Apprentices.
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.

penalties, including a $50 per day, per worker forfeiture, for failure to pay prevailing
wages), 1776 (requiring contractor to maintain available for inspection certified payroll
records), 1777.5 (requiring certain apprenticeship programs), 1813 (imposing penalties
