(E) Standards. Contractor must, at all times, ensure that the Work is performed in
an efficient, skillful manner following best practices and in full compliance with the

request by the City, Contractor will permit review of and/or provide copies of any of these
construction records.
(H) Responsible Party. Contractor is solely responsible to City for the acts or
omissions of any Subcontractors, or any other party or parties performing portions of the
Work or providing equipment, materials or services for or on behalf of Contractor or the
Subcontractors. Upon City's written request, Contractor must promptly and permanently
remove from the Project, at no cost to City, any employee or Subcontractor or employee
of a Subcontractor who the Engineer has determined to be incompetent, intemperate or
disorderly, or who has failed or refused to perform the Work as required under the
Contract Documents.
(I) Correction of Defects. Contractor must promptly correct, at Contractor's sole
expense, any Work that is determined by City to be deficient or defective in any way,
including workmanship, materials, parts or equipment. Workmanship, materials, parts or
equipment that do not conform to the requirements under the Plans, Specifications and
every other Contract Document, as determined by City, will be considered defective and
subject to rejection. Contractor must also promptly correct, at Contractor's sole expense,
any Work performed beyond the lines and grades shown on the Plans or established by
City, and any Extra Work performed without City's prior written approval. If Contractor
fails to correct or to take reasonable steps toward correcting defective Work within five
days following notice from City, or within the time specified in City's notice to correct, City
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 13
may elect to have the defective Work corrected by its own forces or by a third party, in
which case the cost of correction will be deducted from the Contract Price. If City elects
to correct defective Work due to Contractor's failure or refusal to do so, City or its agents
will have the right to take possession of and use any equipment, supplies, or materials
available at the Project site or any Worksite on City property, in order to effectuate the
correction, at no extra cost to City. Contractor's warranty obligations under Section 11.2,
Warranty, will not be waived nor limited by City's actions to correct defective Work under
these circumstances. Alternatively, City may elect to retain defective Work, and deduct
the difference in value, as determined by the Engineer, from payments otherwise due to
Contractor. This paragraph applies to any defective Work performed by Contractor during
the one-year warranty period under Section 11.2.
(J) Contractor's Records. Contractor must maintain all of its records relating to the
Project in any form, including paper documents, photos, videos, electronic records,
approved samples, and the construction records required pursuant to paragraph (G),
above. Project records subject to this provision include complete Project cost records and
records relating to preparation of Contractor's bid, including estimates, take -offs, and
price quotes or bids.
(1) Contractor's cost records must include all supporting documentation,
including original receipts, invoices, and payroll records, evidencing its direct
costs to perform the Work, including, but not limited to, costs for labor, materials
and equipment. Each cost record should include, at a minimum, a description of
the expenditure with references to the applicable requirements of the Contract
Documents, the amount actually paid, the date of payment, and whether the
expenditure is part of the original Contract Price, related to an executed Change
Order, or otherwise categorized by Contractor as Extra Work. Contractor's failure
to comply with this provision as to any claimed cost operates as a waiver of any
rights to recover the claimed cost.
(2) Contractor must continue to maintain its Project -related records in an
organized manner for a period of five years after City's acceptance of the Project
or following Contract termination, whichever occurs first. Subject to prior notice to
Contractor, City is entitled to inspect or audit any of Contractor's records relating
to the Project during Contractor's normal business hours. The record -keeping
requirements set forth in this subsection 2.2(J) will survive expiration or
termination of the Contract.
(K) Copies of Project Documents. Contractor and its Subcontractors must keep
copies, at the Project site, of all Work -related documents, including the Contract,
permit(s), Plans, Specifications, Addenda, Contract amendments, Change Orders, RFIs
and RFI responses, Shop Drawings, as -built drawings, schedules, daily records, testing
and inspection reports or results, and any related written interpretations. These
documents must be available to City for reference at all times during construction of the
Project.
2.3 Subcontractors.
(A) General. All Work which is not performed by Contractor with its own forces must
be performed by Subcontractors. City reserves the right to approve or reject any and all
Subcontractors proposed to perform the Work, for reasons including the subcontractor's
poor reputation, lack of relevant experience, financial instability, and lack of technical
ability or adequate trained workforce. Each Subcontractor must obtain a City business
license before performing any Work.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 14
(B) Contractual Obligations. Contractor must require each Subcontractor to
comply with the provisions of the Contract Documents as they apply to the
Subcontractor's portion(s) of the Work, including the generally applicable terms of the
Contract Documents, and to likewise bind their subcontractors. Contractor will provide
that the rights that each Subcontractor may have against any manufacturer or supplier for
breach of warranty or guarantee relating to items provided by the Subcontractor for the
Project, will be assigned to City. Nothing in these Contract Documents creates a
contractual relationship between a Subcontractor and City, but City is deemed to be a
third -party beneficiary of the contract between Contractor and each Subcontractor.
(C) Termination. If the Contract is terminated, each Subcontractor's agreement
must be assigned by Contractor to City, subject to the prior rights of any surety, but only if
and to the extent that City accepts, in writing, the assignment by written notification, and
assumes all rights and obligations of Contractor pursuant to each such subcontract
agreement.
(D) Substitution of Subcontractor. If Contractor requests substitution of a listed
Subcontractor under Public Contract Code § 4107, Contractor is solely responsible for all
costs City incurs in responding to the request, including legal fees and costs to conduct a
hearing, and any increased subcontract cost to perform the Work that was to be
performed by the listed Subcontractor. If City determines that a Subcontractor is
unacceptable to City based on the Subcontractor's failure to satisfactorily perform its
Work, or for any of the grounds for substitution listed in Public Contract Code § 4107(a),
City may request removal of the Subcontractor from the Project. Upon receipt of a written
request from City to remove a Subcontractor pursuant to this paragraph, Contractor will
immediately remove the Subcontractor from the Project and, at no further cost to City, will
either (1) self -perform the remaining Work to the extent that Contractor is duly licensed
and qualified to do so, or (2) substitute a Subcontractor that is acceptable to City, in
compliance with Public Contract Code § 4107, as applicable.
2.4 Coordination of Work.
(A) Concurrent Work. City reserves the right to perform, have performed, or permit
performance of other work on or adjacent to the Project site while the Work is being
performed for the Project. Contractor is responsible for coordinating its Work with other
work being performed on or adjacent to the Project site, including by any utility
companies or agencies, and must avoid hindering, delaying, or interfering with the work
of other contractors, individuals, or entities, and must ensure safe and reasonable site
access and use as required or authorized by City. To the full extent permitted by law,
Contractor must hold harmless and indemnify City against any and all claims arising from
or related to Contractor's avoidable, negligent, or willful hindrance of, delay to, or
interference with the work of any utility company or agency or another contractor or
subcontractor.
(B) Coordination. If Contractor's Work will connect or interface with work performed
by others, Contractor is responsible for independently measuring and visually inspecting
such work to ensure a correct connection and interface. Contractor is responsible for any
failure by Contractor or its Subcontractors to confirm measurements before proceeding
with connecting Work. Before proceeding with any portion of the Work affected by the
construction or operations of others, Contractor must give the Project Manager prompt
written notification of any defects Contractor discovers which will prevent the proper
execution of the Work. Failure to give notice of any known or reasonably discoverable
defects will be deemed acknowledgement by Contractor that the work of others is not
defective and will not prevent the proper execution of the Work. Contractor must also
promptly notify City if work performed by others, including work or activities performed by
City's own forces, is operating to hinder, delay, or interfere with Contractor's timely
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 15
performance of the Work. City reserves the right to backcharge Contractor for any
additional costs incurred due to Contractor's failure to comply with the requirements in
this Section 2.4.
2.5 Submittals. Unless otherwise specified, Contractor must submit to the Engineer for
review and acceptance, all schedules, Shop Drawings, samples, product data, and
similar submittals required by the Contract Documents, or upon request by the Engineer.
Unless otherwise specified, all submittals, including Requests for Information, are subject
to the general provisions of this Section, as well as specific submittal requirements that
may be included elsewhere in the Contract Documents, including the Special Conditions
or Specifications. The Engineer may require submission of a submittal schedule at or
before a pre -construction conference, as may be specified in the Notice to Proceed.
(A) General. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its submittals are accurate
and conform to the Contract Documents.
(B) Time and Manner of Submission. Contractor must ensure that its submittals
are prepared and delivered in a manner consistent with the current City -accepted
schedule for the Work and within the applicable time specified in the Contract
Documents, or if no time is specified, in such time and sequence so as not to delay the
performance of the Work or completion of the Project.
(C) Required Contents. Each submittal must include the Project name and contract
number, Contractor's name and address, the name and address of any Subcontractor or
supplier involved with the submittal, the date, and references to applicable Specification
section(s) and/or drawing and detail number(s).
(D) Required Corrections. If corrections are required, Contractor must promptly
make and submit any required corrections as specified in full conformance with the
requirements of this Section, or other requirements that apply to that submittal.
(E) Effect of Review and Acceptance. Review and acceptance of a submittal by
City will not relieve Contractor from complying with the requirements of the Contract
Documents. Contractor is responsible for any errors in any submittal, and review or
acceptance of a submittal by City is not an assumption of risk or liability by City.
(F) Enforcement. Any Work performed or any material furnished, installed,
fabricated or used without City's prior acceptance of a required submittal is performed or
provided at Contractor's risk, and Contractor may be required to bear the costs incident
thereto, including the cost of removing and replacing such Work, repairs to other affected
portions of the Work or material, and the cost of additional time or services required of
City, including costs for the Design Professional, Project Manager, or Inspector.
(G) Excessive RFIs. A RFI will be considered excessive or unnecessary if City
determines that the explanation or response to the RFI is clearly and unambiguously
discernable from the Contract Documents. City's costs to review and respond to
excessive or unnecessary RFIs may be deducted from payments otherwise due to
Contractor.
2.6 Shop Drawings. When Shop Drawings are required by the Specifications or requested
by the Engineer, they must be prepared according to best practices at Contractor's
expense. The Shop Drawings must be of a size and scale to clearly show all necessary
details. Unless otherwise specified by City, Shop Drawings must be provided to the
Engineer for review and acceptance at least 30 days before the Work will be performed.
If City requires changes, the corrected Shop Drawings must be resubmitted to the
Engineer for review within the time specified by the Engineer. For all Project components
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 16
requiring Shop Drawings, Contractor will not furnish materials or perform any Work until
the Shop Drawings for those components are accepted by City. Contractor is responsible
for any errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings, shop fits and field corrections; any
deviations from the Contract Documents; and for the results obtained by the use of Shop
Drawings. Acceptance of Shop Drawings by City does not relieve Contractor of
Contractor's responsibility.
2.7 Access to Work. Contractor must afford prompt and safe access to any Worksite by
City and its employees, agents, or consultants authorized by City; and upon request by
City, Contractor must promptly arrange for City representatives to visit or inspect
manufacturing sites or fabrication facilities for items to be incorporated into the Work.
2.8 Personnel. Contractor and its Subcontractors must employ only competent and skillful
personnel to perform the Work. Contractor and its Subcontractor's supervisors, security
or safety personnel, and employees who have unescorted access to the Project site must
possess proficiency in English sufficient to read, understand, receive, and implement oral
or written communications or instructions relating to their respective job functions,
including safety and security requirements. Upon written notification from the Engineer,
Contractor and its Subcontractors must immediately discharge any personnel who are
incompetent, disorderly, disruptive, threatening, abusive, or profane, or otherwise refuse
or fail to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents or Laws, including
Laws pertaining to health and safety. Any such discharged personnel may not be re-
employed or permitted on the Project in any capacity without City's prior written consent.
Article 3 - Contract Documents
3.1 Interpretation of Contract Documents.
(A) Plans and Specifications. The Plans and Specifications included in the
Contract Documents are complementary. If Work is shown on one but not on the other,
Contractor must perform the Work as though fully described on both, consistent with the
Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce
the indicated results. The Plans and Specifications are deemed to include and require
everything necessary and reasonably incidental to completion of the Work, whether or
not particularly mentioned or shown. Contractor must perform all Work and services and
supply all things reasonably related to and inferable from the Contract Documents. In the
event of a conflict between the Plans and Specifications, the Specifications will control,
unless the drawing(s) at issue are dated later than the Specification(s) at issue. Detailed
drawings take precedence over general drawings, and large-scale drawings take
precedence over smaller scale drawings. Any arrangement or division of the Plans and
Specifications into sections is for convenience and is not intended to limit the Work
required by separate trades. A conclusion presented in the Plans or Specifications is only
a recommendation. Actual locations and depths must be determined by Contractor's field
investigation. Contractor may request access to underlying or background information in
City's possession that is necessary for Contractor to form its own conclusions.
(B) Duty to Notify and Seek Direction. If Contractor becomes aware of a changed
condition in the Project, or of any ambiguity, conflict, inconsistency, discrepancy,
omission, or error in the Contract Documents, including the Plans or Specifications,
Contractor must promptly submit a Request for Information to the Engineer and wait for a
response from City before proceeding further with the related Work. The RFI must notify
City of the issue and request clarification, interpretation or direction. The Engineer's
clarification, interpretation or direction will be final and binding on Contractor. If
Contractor proceeds with the related Work before obtaining City's response, Contractor
will be responsible for any resulting costs, including the cost of correcting any incorrect or
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 17
defective Work that results. Timely submission of a clear and complete RFI is essential to
avoiding delay. Delay resulting from Contractor's failure to submit a timely and complete
RFI to the Engineer is Non -Excusable Delay. If Contractor believes that City's response
to an RFI justifies a change to the Contract Price or Contract Time, Contractor must
perform the Work as directed, but may submit a timely Change Order request in
accordance with the Contract Documents. (See Article 5 and 6.)
(C) Figures and Dimensions. Figures control over scaled dimensions
(D) Technical or Trade Terms. Any terms that have well-known technical or trade
meanings will be interpreted in accordance with those meanings, unless otherwise
specifically defined in the Contract Documents.
(E) Measurements. Contractor must verify all relevant measurements in the
Contract Documents and at the Project site before ordering any material or performing
any Work, and will be responsible for the correctness of those measurements or for costs
that could have been avoided by independently verifying measurements.
(F) Compliance with Laws. The Contract Documents are intended to comply with
Laws and will be interpreted to comply with Laws.
3.2 Order of Precedence. Information included in one Contract Document but not in
another will not be considered a conflict or inconsistency. Unless otherwise specified in
the Special Conditions, in case of any conflict or inconsistency among the Contract
Documents, the following order of precedence will apply, beginning from highest to
lowest, with the most recent version taking precedent over an earlier version:
(A) Change Orders;
(B) Addenda;
(C) Contract;
(D) Notice to Proceed;
(E) Attachment B — Federal Contract Requirements (only if used);
(F) Special Conditions;
(G) General Conditions;
(H) Payment and Performance Bonds;
(1) Specifications;
W Plans;
(K) Notice of Potential Award;
(L) Notice Inviting Bids;
(M) Attachment A — Federal Bidding Requirements (only if used);
(N) Instructions to Bidders;
(0) Contractor's Bid Proposal and attachments;
(P) the City's standard specifications, as applicable; and
(Q) Any generic documents prepared by and on behalf of a third party, that were not
prepared specifically for this Project, such as the Caltrans Standard Specifications or
Caltrans Special Provisions.
3.3 Caltrans Standard Specifications. Any reference to or incorporation of the Standard
Specifications of the State of California, Department of Transportation ("Caltrans"),
including "Standard Specifications," "Caltrans Specifications," "State Specifications," or
"CSS," means the most current edition of Caltrans' Standard Specifications, unless
otherwise specified ("Caltrans Standard Specifications"), including the most current
amendments as of the date that Contractor's bid was submitted for this Project. The
following provisions apply to use of or reference to the Caltrans Standard Specifications
or Special Provisions:
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 18
(A) Limitations. The "General Provisions" of the Caltrans Standard Specifications,
i.e., sections 1 through 9, do not apply to these Contract Documents with the exception of
any specific provisions, if any, which are expressly stated to apply to these Contract
Documents.
(B) Conflicts orInconsistencies. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between any
provision in the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special Provisions and a provision of
these Contract Documents, as determined by City, the provision in the Contract
Documents will govern.
(C) Meanings. Terms used in the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special
Provisions are to be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any reference to the "Engineer" is deemed to mean the City Engineer.
(2) Any reference to the "Special Provisions" is deemed to mean the Special
Conditions, unless the Caltrans Special Provisions are expressly included in the
Contract Documents listed in Section 2 of the Contract.
(3) Any reference to the "Department" or "State" is deemed to mean City.
3.4 For Reference Only. Contractor is responsible for the careful review of any document,
study, or report provided by City or appended to the Contract Documents solely for
informational purposes and identified as "For Reference Only." Nothing in any document,
study, or report so appended and identified is intended to supplement, alter, or void any
provision of the Contract Documents. Contractor is advised that City or its
representatives may be guided by information or recommendations included in such
reference documents, particularly when making determinations as to the acceptability of
proposed materials, methods, or changes in the Work. Any record drawings or similar
final or accepted drawings or maps that are not part of the Contract Documents are
deemed to be For Reference Only. The provisions of the Contract Documents are not
modified by any perceived or actual conflict with provisions in any document that is
provided For Reference Only.
3.5 Current Versions. Unless otherwise specified by City, any reference to standard
specifications, technical specifications, or any City or state codes or regulations means
the latest specification, code or regulation in effect at the time the Contract is signed.
3.6 Conformed Copies. If City prepares a conformed set of the Contract Documents
following award of the Contract, it will provide Contractor with two hard copy (paper) sets
and one copy of the electronic file in PDF format. It is Contractor's responsibility to
ensure that all Subcontractors, including fabricators, are provided with the conformed set
of the Contract Documents at Contractor's sole expense.
3.7 Ownership. No portion of the Contract Documents may be used for any purpose other
than construction of the Project, without prior written consent from City. Contractor is
deemed to have conveyed the copyright in any designs, drawings, specifications, Shop
Drawings, or other documents (in paper or electronic form) developed by Contractor for
the Project, and City will retain all rights to such works, including the right to possession
Article 4 - Bonds, Indemnity, and Insurance
4.1 Payment and Performance Bonds. Within ten days following issuance of the Notice of
Potential Award, Contractor is required to provide a payment bond and a performance
bond, each in the penal sum of not less than 100% of the Contract Price, and each
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 19
executed by Contractor and its surety using the bond forms included with the Contract
Documents. In addition, Contractor shall furnish payment and performance bonds, in
favor of the State Coastal Conservancy and the Association of Bay Area Governments,
each in the penal sum of not less than 100% of the Contract Price, executed by
Contractor and its surety.
(A) Surety. Each bond must be issued and executed by a surety admitted in
California. If an issuing surety cancels the bond or becomes insolvent, within seven days
following written notice from City, Contractor must substitute a surety acceptable to City.
If Contractor fails to substitute an acceptable surety within the specified time, City may, at
its sole discretion, withhold payment from Contractor until the surety is replaced to City's
satisfaction, or terminate the Contract for default.
(B) Supplemental Bonds for Increase in Contract Price. If the Contract Price
increases during construction by five percent or more over the original Contract Price,
Contractor must provide supplemental or replacement bonds within ten days of written
notice from City pursuant to this Section, covering 100% of the increased Contract Price
and using the bond forms included with the Contract Documents.
4.2 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor must indemnify, defend,
and hold harmless City, its Council, officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers, and
consultants (individually, an "Indemnitee," and collectively the "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, causes of action, demands, charges,
fines, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees, expert witness
fees, paralegal fees, and fees and costs of litigation or arbitration) (collectively, "Liability")
of every nature arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of Contractor, its
employees, Subcontractors, representatives, or agents, in bidding or performing the Work
or in failing to comply with any obligation of Contractor under the Contract, except such
Liability caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of an
Indemnitee. This indemnity requirement applies to any Liability arising from alleged
defects in the content or manner of submission of Contractor's bid for the Contract.
Contractor's failure or refusal to timely accept a tender of defense pursuant to this
Contract will be deemed a material breach of the Contract. City will timely notify
Contractor upon receipt of any third -party claim relating to the Contract, as required by
Public Contract Code § 9201. Contractor waives any right to express or implied indemnity
against any Indemnitee. Contractor's indemnity obligations under this Contract will
survive the expiration or any early termination of the Contract.
4.3 Insurance. No later than ten days following issuance of the Notice of Potential Award,
Contractor must procure and provide proof of the insurance coverage required by this
Section in the form of certificates and endorsements acceptable to City. The required
insurance must cover the activities of Contractor and its Subcontractors relating to or
arising from the performance of the Work, and must remain in full force and effect at all
times during the period covered by the Contract, through the date of City's acceptance of
the Project. All required insurance must be issued by a company licensed to do business
in the State of California, and each such insurer must have an A.M. Best's financial
strength rating of "A" or better and a financial size rating of "VIII" or better. If Contractor
fails to provide any of the required coverage in full compliance with the requirements of
the Contract Documents, City may, at its sole discretion, purchase such coverage at
Contractor's expense and deduct the cost from payments due to Contractor, or terminate
the Contract for default. The procurement of the required insurance will not be construed
to limit Contractor's liability under this Contract or to fulfill Contractor's indemnification
obligations under this Contract.
(A) Policies and Limits. The following insurance policies and limits are required for
this Contract, unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions:
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 20
(1) Commercial General Liability ("CGL') Insurance: The CGL insurance policy
must be issued on an occurrence basis, written on a comprehensive general
liability form, and must include coverage for liability arising from Contractor's or
its Subcontractor's acts or omissions in the performance of the Work, including
contractor's protected coverage, contractual liability, products and completed
operations, and broad form property damage, with limits of at least $2,000,000
per occurrence and at least $4,000,000 general aggregate. The CGL insurance
coverage may be arranged under a single policy for the full limits required or by a
combination of underlying policies with the balance provided by excess or
umbrella policies, provided each such policy complies with the requirements set
forth in this Section, including required endorsements.
(2) Automobile Liability Insurance: The automobile liability insurance policy must
provide coverage of at least $2,000,000 combined single -limit per accident for
bodily injury, death, or property damage, including hired and non -owned auto
liability.
(3) Workers' Compensation Insurance and Employer's Liability: The workers'
compensation and employer's liability insurance policy must comply with the
requirements of the California Labor Code, providing coverage of at least
$1,000,000 or as otherwise required by the statute. If Contractor is self -insured,
Contractor must provide its Certificate of Permission to Self -Insure, duly
authorized by the DIR.
(4) Pollution Liability Insurance: The pollution liability insurance policy must be
issued on an occurrence basis, providing coverage of at least $2,000,000 for all
loss arising out of claims for bodily injury, death, property damage, or
environmental damage caused by pollution conditions resulting from the Work.
(5) Builder's Risk Insurance: The builder's risk insurance policy must be issued
on an occurrence basis, for all-risk or "all perils" coverage on a 100% completed
value basis on the insurable portion of the Project for the benefit of City.
(B) Notice. Each certificate of insurance must state that the coverage afforded by
the policy or policies will not be reduced, cancelled or allowed to expire without at least
30 days written notice to City, unless due to non-payment of premiums, in which case ten
days written notice must be made to City.
(C) Waiver of Subrogation. Each required policy must include an endorsement
providing that the carrier will waive any right of subrogation it may have against City.
(D) Required Endorsements. The CGL policy, automobile liability policy, pollution
liability policy, and builder's risk policy must include the following specific endorsements:
(1) The City, including its Council, officials, officers, employees, agents,
volunteers and consultants and the Association of Bay Area Governments
(collectively, "Additional Insured") must be named as an additional insured for all
liability arising out of the operations by or on behalf of the named insured, and
the policy must protect the Additional Insured against any and all liability for
personal injury, death or property damage or destruction arising directly or
indirectly in the performance of the Contract. The additional insured endorsement
must be provided using ISO form CG 20 10 11 85 or an equivalent form
approved by the City.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 21
(2) The inclusion of more than one insured will not operate to impair the rights of
one insured against another, and the coverages afforded will apply as though
separate policies have been issued to each insured.
(3) The insurance provided by Contractor is primary and no insurance held or
owned by any Additional Insured may be called upon to contribute to a loss.
(4) This policy does not exclude explosion, collapse, underground excavation
hazard, or removal of lateral support.
(E) Contractor's Responsibilities. This Section 4.3 establishes the minimum
requirements for Contractor's insurance coverage in relation to this Project, but is not
intended to limit Contractor's ability to procure additional or greater coverage. Contractor
is responsible for its own risk assessment and needs and is encouraged to consult its
insurance provider to determine what coverage it may wish to carry beyond the minimum
requirements of this Section. Contractor is solely responsible for the cost of its insurance
coverage, including premium payments, deductibles, or self -insured retentions, and no
Additional Insured will be responsible or liable for any of the cost of Contractor's
insurance coverage.
(F) Deductibles and Self -Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self -insured
retentions that apply to the required insurance (collectively, "deductibles") in excess of
$100,000 are subject to approval by the City's Risk Manager, acting in his or her sole
discretion, and must be declared by Contractor when it submits its certificates of
insurance and endorsements pursuant to this Section 4.3. If the City's Risk Manager
determines that the deductibles are unacceptably high, at City's option, Contractor must
either reduce or eliminate the deductibles as they apply to City and all required Additional
Insured; or must provide a financial guarantee, to City's satisfaction, guaranteeing
payment of losses and related investigation, claim administration, and legal expenses.
(G) Subcontractors. Contractor must ensure that each Subcontractor is required to
maintain the same insurance coverage required under this Section 4.3, with respect to its
performance of Work on the Project, including those requirements related to the
Additional Insureds and waiver of subrogation, but excluding pollution liability or builder's
risk insurance unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions. A Subcontractor may
be eligible for reduced insurance coverage or limits, but only to the extent approved in
writing in advance by the City's Risk Manager. Contractor must confirm that each
Subcontractor has complied with these insurance requirements before the Subcontractor
is permitted to begin Work on the Project. Upon request by the City, Contractor must
provide certificates and endorsements submitted by each Subcontractor to prove
compliance with this requirement. The insurance requirements for Subcontractors do not
replace or limit the Contractor's insurance obligations.
Article 5 - Contract Time
5.1 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in Contractor's performance and
completion of the Work, and Contractor must diligently prosecute the Work and complete
it within the Contract Time.
(A) General. Contractor must commence the Work on the date indicated in the
Notice to Proceed and must fully complete the Work in strict compliance with all
requirements of the Contract Documents and within the Contract Time. Contractor may
not begin performing the Work before the date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 22
(B) Authorization. Contractor is not entitled to compensation or credit for any Work
performed before the date specified in the Notice to Proceed, with the exception of any
schedules, submittals, or other requirements, if any, that must be provided or performed
before issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
(C) Rate of Progress. Contractor and its Subcontractors must, at all times, provide
workers, materials, and equipment sufficient to maintain the rate of progress necessary to
ensure full completion of the Work within the Contract Time. If City determines that
Contractor is failing to prosecute the Work at a sufficient rate of progress, City may, in its
sole discretion, direct Contractor to provide additional workers, materials, or equipment,
or to work additional hours or days without additional cost to City, in order to achieve a
rate of progress satisfactory to City. If Contractor fails to comply with City's directive in
this regard, City may, at Contractor's expense, separately contract for additional workers,
materials, or equipment or use City's own forces to achieve the necessary rate of
progress. Alternatively, City may terminate the Contract based on Contractor's default.
5.2 Schedule Requirements. Contractor must prepare all schedules using standard,
commercial scheduling software acceptable to the Engineer, and must provide the
schedules in electronic and paper form as requested by the Engineer. In addition to the
general scheduling requirements set forth below, Contractor must also comply with any
scheduling requirements included in the Special Conditions or in the Technical
Specifications.
(A) Baseline (As -Planned) Schedule. Within ten calendar days following City's
issuance of the Notice to Proceed (or as otherwise specified in the Notice to Proceed),
Contractor must submit to City for review and acceptance a baseline (as -planned)
schedule using critical path methodology showing in detail how Contractor plans to
perform and fully complete the Work within the Contract Time, including labor,
equipment, materials and fabricated items. The baseline schedule must show the order of
the major items of Work and the dates of start and completion of each item, including
when the materials and equipment will be procured. The schedule must also include the
work of all trades, reflecting anticipated labor or crew hours and equipment loading for
the construction activities, and must be sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to enable
progress to be monitored on a day-by-day basis. For each activity, the baseline schedule
must be dated, provided in the format specified in the Contract Documents or as required
by City, and must include, at a minimum, a description of the activity, the start and
completion dates of the activity, and the duration of the activity.
(1) Specialized Materials Ordering. Within five calendar days following issuance
of the Notice to Proceed, Contractor must order any specialized material or
equipment for the Work that is not readily available from material suppliers.
Contractor must also retain documentation of the purchase order date(s).
(B) City's Review of Schedules. City will review and may note exceptions to the
baseline schedule, and to the progress schedules submitted as required below, to assure
completion of the Work within the Contract Time. Contractor is solely responsible for
resolving any exceptions noted in a schedule and, within seven days, must correct the
schedule to address the exceptions. City's review or acceptance of Contractor's
schedules will not operate to waive or limit Contractor's duty to complete the Project
within the Contract Time, nor to waive or limit City's right to assess liquidated damages
for Contractor's unexcused failure to do so.
(C) Progress Schedules. After City accepts the final baseline schedule with no
exceptions, Contractor must submit an updated progress schedule and three-week look -
ahead schedule, in the format specified by City, for review and acceptance with each
application for a progress payment, or when otherwise specified by City, until completion
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 23
of the Work. The updated progress schedule must: show how the actual progress of the
Work as constructed to date compares to the baseline schedule; reflect any proposed
changes in the construction schedule or method of operations, including to achieve
Project milestones within the Contract Time; and identify any actual or potential impacts
to the critical path. Contractor must also submit periodic reports to City of any changes in
the projected material or equipment delivery dates for the Project.
(1) Float. The progress schedule must show early and late completion dates for
each task. The number of days between those dates will be designated as the
"float." Any float belongs to the Project and may be allocated by the Engineer to
best serve timely completion of the Project.
(2) Failure to Submit Schedule. Reliable, up-to-date schedules are essential to
efficient and cost-effective administration of the Project and timely completion. If
Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time periods specified in this
Section, or submits a schedule to which City has noted exceptions that are not
corrected, City may withhold up to ten percent from payment(s) otherwise due to
Contractor until the exceptions are resolved, the schedule is corrected and
resubmitted, and City has accepted the schedule. In addition, Contractor's failure
to comply with the schedule requirements in this Section 5.2 will be deemed a
material default and a waiver of any claims for Excusable Delay or loss of
productivity arising during any period when Contractor is out of compliance,
subject only to the limits of Public Contract Code § 7102.
(D) Recovery Schedule. If City determines that the Work is more than one week
behind schedule, within seven days following written notice of such determination,
Contractor must submit a recovery schedule, showing how Contractor intends to perform
and complete the Work within the Contract Time, based on actual progress to date.
(E) Effect of Acceptance. Contractor and its Subcontractors must perform the
Work in accordance with the most current City -accepted schedule unless otherwise
directed by City. City's acceptance of a schedule does not operate to extend the time for
completion of the Work or any component of the Work, and will not affect City's right to
assess liquidated damages for Contractor's unexcused delay in completing the Work
within the Contract Time.
(F) Posting. Contractor must at all times prominently post a copy of the most
current City -accepted progress or recovery schedule in its on -site office.
(G) Reservation of Rights. City reserves the right to direct the sequence in which
the Work must be performed or to make changes in the sequence of the Work in order to
facilitate the performance of work by City or others, or to facilitate City's use of its
property. The Contract Time or Contract Price may be adjusted to the extent such
changes in sequence actually increase or decrease Contractor's time or cost to perform
the Work.
(H) Authorized Working Days and Times. Contractor is limited to working Monday
through Friday, excluding holidays, during City's normal business hours, except as
provided in the Special Conditions or as authorized in writing by City. City reserves the
right to charge Contractor for additional costs incurred by City due to Work performed on
days or during hours not expressly authorized in the Contract Documents, including
reimbursement of costs incurred for inspection, testing, and construction management
services.
5.3 Delay and Extensions of Contract Time.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 24
(A) Notice of Delay. If Contractor becomes aware of any actual or potential delay
affecting the critical path, Contractor must promptly notify the Engineer in writing,
regardless of the nature or cause of the delay, so that City has a reasonable opportunity
to mitigate or avoid the delay.
(B) Excusable Delay. The Contract Time may be extended if Contractor encounters
"Excusable Delay," which is an unavoidable delay in completing the Work within the
Contract Time due to causes completely beyond Contractor's control, and which
Contractor could not have avoided or mitigated through reasonable care, planning,
foresight, and diligence, provided that Contractor is otherwise fully performing its
obligations under the Contract Documents. Grounds for Excusable Delay may include
fire, natural disasters including earthquake or unusually severe weather, acts of terror or
vandalism, epidemic, unforeseeable adverse government actions, unforeseeable actions
of third parties, encountering unforeseeable hazardous materials, unforeseeable site
conditions, or suspension for convenience under Article 13. The Contract Time will not be
extended based on circumstances which will not unavoidably delay completing the Work
within the Contract Time based on critical path analysis.
(C) Weather Delays. A "Weather Delay Day" is a Working Day during which
Contractor and its forces, including Subcontractors, are unable to perform more than 40%
of the critical path Work scheduled for that day due to adverse weather conditions which
impair the ability to safely or effectively perform the scheduled critical path Work that day.
Adverse weather conditions may include rain, saturated soil, and Project site clean-up
required due to adverse weather. Determination of what constitutes critical path Work
scheduled for that day will be based on the most current, City -approved schedule.
Contractor will be entitled to a non-compensable extension of the Contract Time for each
Weather Delay Day in excess of the normal Weather Delay Days within a given month as
determined by reliable records, including monthly rainfall averages, for the preceding ten
years (or as otherwise specified in the Special Conditions or Specifications).
(1) Contractor must fully comply with the applicable procedures in Articles 5
and 6 of the General Conditions regarding requests to modify the Contract Time.
(2) Contractor will not be entitled to an extension of time for a Weather
Delay Day to the extent Contractor is responsible for concurrent delay on that
day.
(3) Contractor must take reasonable steps to mitigate the consequences of
Weather Delay Days, including prudent workforce management and protecting
the Work, Project Site, materials, and equipment.
(D) Non -Excusable Delay. Delay which Contractor could have avoided or mitigated
through reasonable care, planning, foresight and diligence is "Non -Excusable Delay."
Contractor is not entitled to an extension of Contract Time or any compensation for Non -
Excusable Delay, or for Excusable Delay that is concurrent with Non -Excusable Delay.
Non -Excusable Delay includes delay caused by:
(1) weather conditions which are normal for the location of the Project, as
determined by reliable records, including monthly rainfall averages, for the
preceding ten years;
(2) Contractor's failure to order equipment and materials sufficiently in advance
of the time needed for completion of the Work within the Contract Time;
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 25
(3) Contractor's failure to provide adequate notification to utility companies or
agencies for connections or services necessary for completion of the Work within
the Contract Time;
(4) foreseeable conditions which Contractor could have ascertained from
reasonably diligent inspection of the Project site or review of the Contract
Documents or other information provided or available to Contractor;
(5) Contractor's failure, refusal, or financial inability to perform the Work within
the Contract Time, including insufficient funds to pay its Subcontractors or
suppliers;
(6) performance or non-performance by Contractor's Subcontractors or
suppliers;
(7) the time required to respond to excessive RFIs (see Section 2.5(G));
(8) delayed submission of required submittals, or the time required for correction
and resubmission of defective submittals;
(9) time required for repair of, re -testing, or re -inspection of defective Work;
(10) enforcement of Laws by City, or outside agencies with jurisdiction over the
Work; or
(11) City's exercise or enforcement of any of its rights or Contractor's duties
pursuant to the Contract Documents, including correction of defective Work,
extra inspections or testing due to non-compliance with Contract requirements,
safety compliance, environmental compliance, or rejection and return of defective
or deficient submittals.
(E) Compensable Delay. Pursuant to Public Contract Code § 7102, in addition to
entitlement to an extension of Contract Time, Contractor is entitled to compensation for
costs incurred due to delay caused solely by City, when that delay is unreasonable under
the circumstances involved and not within the contemplation of the parties
("Compensable Delay"). Contractor is not entitled to an extension of Contract Time or
recovery of costs for Compensable Delay that is concurrent with Non -Excusable Delay.
Delay due to causes that are beyond the control of either City or Contractor, including
Weather Delay Days, discovery of Historic or Archeological Items pursuant to Section
7.18, or the actions or inactions of third parties or other agencies, is not Compensable
Delay, and will only entitle Contractor to an extension of time commensurate with the time
lost due to such delay.
(F) Recoverable Costs. Contractor is not entitled to compensation for Excusable
Delay unless it is Compensable Delay, as defined above. Contractor is entitled to recover
only the actual, direct, reasonable, and substantiated costs ("Recoverable Costs") for
each working day that the Compensable Delay prevents Contractor from proceeding with
more than 50% of the critical path Work scheduled for that day, based on the most recent
progress schedule accepted by City. Recoverable Costs will not include home office
overhead or lost profit.
(G) Request for Extension of Contract Time or Recoverable Costs. A request for
an extension of Contract Time or any associated Recoverable Costs must be submitted
in writing to City within ten calendar days of the date the delay is first encountered, even
if the duration of the delay is not yet known at that time, or any entitlement to the Contract
Time extension or to the Recoverable Costs will be deemed waived. In addition to
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 26
complying with the requirements of this Article 5, the request must be submitted in
compliance with the Change Order request procedures in Article 6 below. Strict
compliance with these requirements is necessary to ensure that any delay or
consequences of delay may be mitigated as soon as possible, and to facilitate cost-
efficient administration of the Project and timely performance of the Work. Any request for
an extension of Contract Time or Recoverable Costs that does not strictly comply with all
of the requirements of Article 5 and Article 6 will be deemed waived.
(1) Required Contents. The request must include a detailed description of the
cause(s) of the delay and must also describe the measures that Contractor has
taken to mitigate the delay and/or its effects, including efforts to mitigate the cost
impact of the delay, such as by workforce management or by a change in
sequencing. If the delay is still ongoing at the time the request is submitted, the
request should also include Contractor's plan for continued mitigation of the
delay or its effects.
(2) Delay Days and Costs. The request must specify the number of days of
Excusable Delay claimed or provide a realistic estimate if the duration of the
delay is not yet known. If Contractor believes it is entitled to Recoverable Costs
for Compensable Delay, the request must specify the amount and basis for the
Recoverable Costs that are claimed or provide a realistic estimate if the amount
is not yet known. Any estimate of delay duration or cost must be updated in
writing and submitted with all required supporting documentation as soon as the
actual time and cost is known. The maximum extension of Contract Time will be
the number of days, if any, by which an Excusable Delay or a Compensable
Delay exceeds any concurrent Non -Excusable Delay. Contractor is entitled to an
extension of Contract Time, or compensation for Recoverable Costs, only if, and
only to the extent that, such delay will unavoidably delay Final Completion.
(3) Supporting Documentation. The request must also include any and all
supporting documentation necessary to evidence the delay and its actual
impacts, including scheduling and cost impacts with a time impact analysis using
critical path methodology and demonstrating the unavoidable delay to Final
Completion. The time impact analysis must be submitted in a form or format
acceptable to City.
(4) Burden of Proof. Contractor has the burden of proving that: the delay was an
Excusable or Compensable Delay, as defined above; Contractor has fully
complied with its scheduling obligations in Section 5.2, Schedule Requirements;
Contractor has made reasonable efforts to mitigate the delay and its schedule
and cost impacts; the delay will unavoidably result in delaying Final Completion;
and any Recoverable Costs claimed by Contractor were actually incurred and
were reasonable under the circumstances.
(5) Legal Compliance. Nothing in this Section 5.3 is intended to require the
waiver, alteration, or limitation of the applicability of Public Contract Code § 7102.
(6) No Waiver. Any grant of an extension of Contract Time, or compensation for
Recoverable Costs due to Compensable Delay, will not operate as a waiver of
City's right to assess liquidated damages for Non -Excusable Delay.
(7) Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute over entitlement to an
extension of Contract Time or compensation for Recoverable Costs, Contractor
may not stop Work pending resolution of the dispute, but must continue to
comply with its duty to diligently prosecute the performance and timely
completion of the Work. Contractor's sole recourse for an unresolved dispute
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 27
based on City's rejection of a Change Order request for an extension of Contract
Time or compensation for Recoverable Costs is to comply with the dispute
resolution provisions set forth in Article 12 below.
5.4 Liquidated Damages. It is expressly understood that if Final Completion is not achieved
within the Contract Time, City will suffer damages from the delay that are difficult to
determine and accurately specify. Pursuant to Public Contract Code § 7203, if Contractor
fails to achieve Final Completion within the Contract Time due to Contractor's Non -
Excusable Delay, City will charge Contractor in the amount specified in the Contract for
each calendar day that Final Completion is delayed beyond the Contract Time, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Any waiver of accrued liquidated damages, in
whole or in part, is subject to approval of the City Council or its authorized delegee.
(A) Liquidated Damages. Liquidated damages will not be assessed for any
Excusable or Compensable Delay, as set forth above.
(B) Milestones. Liquidated damages may also be separately assessed for failure to
meet milestones specified elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
(C) Setoff. City is entitled to deduct the amount of liquidated damages assessed
against any payments otherwise due to Contractor, including progress payments, Final
Payment, or unreleased retention. If there are insufficient Contract funds remaining to
cover the full amount of liquidated damages assessed, City is entitled to recover the
balance from Contractor or its performance bond surety.
(D) Occupancy or Use. Occupancy or use of the Project in whole or in part prior to
Final Completion does not constitute City's acceptance of the Project and will not operate
as a waiver of City's right to assess liquidated damages for Contractor's Non -Excusable
Delay in achieving Final Completion.
(E) Other Remedies. City's right to liquidated damages under this Section applies
only to damages arising from Contractor's Non -Excusable Delay or failure to complete
the Work within the Contract Time. City retains its right to pursue all other remedies
under the Contract for other types of damage, including damage to property or persons,
costs or diminution in value from defective materials or workmanship, costs to repair or
complete the Work, or other liability caused by Contractor.
Article 6 - Contract Modification
6.1 Contract Modification. Subject to the limited exception set forth in subsection (D)
below, any change in the Work or the Contract Documents, including the Contract Price
or Contract Time, will not be a valid and binding change to the Contract unless it is
formalized in a Change Order, including a "no -cost" Change Order or a unilateral Change
Order. Changes in the Work pursuant to this Article 6 will not operate to release, limit, or
abridge Contractor's warranty obligations pursuant to Article 11 or any obligations of
Contractor's bond sureties.
(A) City -Directed Changes. City may direct changes in the scope or sequence of
Work or the requirements of the Contract Documents, without invalidating the Contract.
Such changes may include Extra Work as set forth in subsection (C) below, or deletion or
modification of portions of the Work. Contractor must promptly comply with City -directed
changes in the Work in accordance with the original Contract Documents, even if
Contractor and City have not yet reached agreement as to adjustments to the Contract
Price or Contract Time for the change in the Work or for the Extra Work. Contractor is not
entitled to extra compensation for cost savings resulting from "value engineering"
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 28
pursuant to Public Contract Code § 7101, except to the extent authorized in advance by
City in writing, and subject to any applicable procedural requirements for submitting a
proposal for value engineering cost savings.
(B) Disputes. In the event of a dispute over entitlement to or the amount of a
change in Contract Time or a change in Contract Price related to a City -directed change
in the Work, Contractor must perform the Work as directed and may not delay its Work or
cease Work pending resolution of the dispute, but must continue to comply with its duty
to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work, including the
Work in dispute. Likewise, in the event that City and Contractor dispute whether a portion
or portions of the Work are already required by the Contract Documents or constitute
Extra Work, or otherwise dispute the interpretation of any portion(s) of the Contract
Documents, Contractor must perform the Work as directed and may not delay its Work or
cease Work pending resolution of the dispute, but must continue to comply with its duty
to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work, including the
Work in dispute, as directed by City. If Contractor refuses to perform the Work in dispute,
City may, acting in its sole discretion, elect to delete the Work from the Contract and
reduce the Contract Price accordingly, and self -perform the Work or direct that the Work
be performed by others. Alternatively, City may elect to terminate the Contract for
convenience or for cause. Contractor's sole recourse for an unresolved dispute related to
changes in the Work or performance of any Extra Work is to comply with the dispute
resolution provisions set forth in Article 12, below.
(C) Extra Work. City may direct Contractor to perform Extra Work related to the
Project. Contractor must promptly perform any Extra Work as directed or authorized by
City in accordance with the original Contract Documents, even if Contractor and City
have not yet reached agreement on adjustments to the Contract Price or Contract Time
for such Extra Work. If Contractor believes it is necessary to perform Extra Work due to
changed conditions, Contractor must promptly notify the Engineer in writing, specifically
identifying the Extra Work and the reason(s) the Contractor believes it is Extra Work. This
notification requirement does not constitute a Change Order request pursuant to Section
6.2, below. Contractor must maintain detailed daily records that itemize the cost of each
element of Extra Work, and sufficiently distinguish the direct cost of the Extra Work from
the cost of other Work performed. For each day that Contractor performs Extra Work, or
Work that Contractor contends is Extra Work, Contractor must submit no later than the
following Working Day, a daily report of the Extra Work performed that day and the
related costs, together with copies of certified payroll, invoices, and other documentation
substantiating the costs ("Extra Work Report"). The Engineer will make any adjustments
to Contractor's Extra Work Report(s) based on the Engineer's records of the Work. When
an Extra Work Report(s) is agreed on and signed by both City and Contractor, the Extra
Work Report(s) will become the basis for payment under a duly authorized and signed
Change Order. Failure to submit the required documentation by close of business on the
next Working Day is deemed a full and complete waiver for any change in the Contract
Price or Contract Time for any Extra Work performed that day.
(D) Minor Changes and RFls. Minor field changes, including RFI replies from City,
that do not affect the Contract Price or Contract Time and that are approved by the
Engineer acting within his or her scope of authority, do not require a Change Order. By
executing an RFI reply from City, Contractor agrees that it will perform the Work as
clarified therein, with no change to the Contract Price or Contract Time.
(E) Remedy for Non -Compliance. Contractor's failure to promptly comply with a
City -directed change is deemed a material breach of the Contract, and in addition to all
other remedies available to it, City may, at its sole discretion, hire another contractor or
use its own forces to complete the disputed Work at Contractor's sole expense, and may
deduct the cost from the Contract Price.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 29
6.2 Contractor Change Order Requests. Contractor must submit a request or proposal for
a change in the Work, compensation for Extra Work, or a change in the Contract Price or
Contract Time as a written Change Order request or proposal.
(A) Time for Submission. Any request for a change in the Contract Price or the
Contract Time must be submitted in writing to the Engineer within ten calendar days of
the date that Contractor first encounters the circumstances, information or conditions
giving rise to the Change Order request, even if the total amount of the requested change
in the Contract Price or impact on the Contract Time is not yet known at that time. If City
requests that Contractor propose the terms of a Change Order, unless otherwise
specified in City's request, Contractor must provide the Engineer with a written proposal
for the change in the Contract Price or Contract Time within five working days of
receiving City's request, in a form satisfactory to the Engineer.
(B) Required Contents. Any Change Order request or proposal submitted by
Contractor must include a complete breakdown of actual or estimated costs and credits,
and must itemize labor, materials, equipment, taxes, insurance, subcontract amounts,
and, if applicable, Extra Work Reports. Any estimated cost must be updated in writing as
soon as the actual amount is known.
(C) Required Documentation. All claimed costs must be fully documented, and any
related request for an extension of time or delay -related costs must be included at that
time and in compliance with the requirements of Article 5 of the General Conditions.
Upon request, Contractor must permit City to inspect its original and unaltered bidding
records, subcontract agreements, subcontract change orders, purchase orders, invoices,
or receipts associated with the claimed costs
(D) Required Form. Contractor must use City's form(s) for submitting all Change
Order requests or proposals, unless otherwise specified by City.
(E) Certification. All Change Order requests must be signed by Contractor and
must include the following certification:
"The undersigned Contractor certifies under penalty of perjury that its
statements and representations in this Change Order request are true and
correct. Contractor warrants that this Change Order request is comprehensive
and complete as to the Work or changes referenced herein, and agrees that any
known or foreseeable costs, expenses, or time extension requests not included
herein, are deemed waived."
6.3 Adjustments to Contract Price. The amount of any increase or decrease in the
Contract Price will be determined based on one of the following methods listed below, in
the order listed with unit pricing taking precedence over the other methods. Markup
applies only to City -authorized time and material Work, and does not apply to any other
payments to Contractor. For Work items or components that are deleted in their entirety,
Contractor will only be entitled to compensation for those direct, actual, and documented
costs (including restocking fees), reasonably incurred before Contractor was notified of
the City's intent to delete the Work, with no markup for overhead, profit, or other indirect
costs.
(A) Unit Pricing. Amounts previously provided by Contractor in the form of unit
prices, either in a bid schedule or in a post -award schedule of values pursuant to Section
8.1, Schedule of Values, will apply to determine the price for the affected Work, to the
extent applicable unit prices have been provided for that type of Work. No additional
markup for overhead, profit, or other indirect costs will be added to the calculation.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 30
(B) Lump Sum. A mutually agreed upon, all-inclusive lump sum price for the
affected Work with no additional markup for overhead, profit, or other indirect costs.
(C) Time and Materials. On a time and materials basis, if and only to the extent
compensation on a time and materials basis is expressly authorized by City in advance of
Contractor's performance of the Work and subject to any not -to -exceed limit. Time and
materials compensation for increased costs or Extra Work (but not decreased costs or
deleted Work), will include allowed markup for overhead, profit, and other indirect costs,
calculated as the total of the following sums, the cumulative total of which may not
exceed the maximum markup rate of 15%:
(1) All direct labor costs provided by the Contractor, excluding superintendence,
project management, or administrative costs, plus 15% markup;
(2) All direct material costs provided by the Contractor, including sales tax, plus
15% markup;
(3) All direct plant and equipment rental costs provided by the Contractor, plus
15% markup;
(4) All direct additional subcontract costs plus 10% markup for Work performed
by Subcontractors; and
(5) Increased bond or insurance premium costs computed at 1.5% of total of the
previous four sums.
6.4 Unilateral Change Order. If the parties dispute the terms of a proposed Change Order,
including disputes over the amount of compensation or extension of time that Contractor
has requested, the value of deleted or changed Work, what constitutes Extra Work, or
quantities used, City may elect to issue a unilateral Change Order, directing performance
of the Work, and authorizing a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time for the
adjustment to compensation or time that the City believes is merited. Contractor's sole
recourse to dispute the terms of a unilateral Change Order is to submit a timely Claim
pursuant to Article 12, below.
6.5 Non -Compliance Deemed Waiver. Contractor waives its entitlement to any increase in
the Contract Price or Contract Time if Contractor fails to fully comply with the provisions
of this Article. Contractor will not be paid for unauthorized Extra Work.
Article 7 - General Construction Provisions
7.1 Permits, Fees, Business License, and Taxes.
(A) Permits, Fees, and City Business License. Contractor must obtain and pay for
all permits, fees, or licenses required to perform the Work, including a City business
license. Contractor must cooperate with and provide notifications to all government
agencies with jurisdiction over the Project, as may be required. Contractor must provide
City with copies of all records of permits and permit applications, payment of required
fees, and any licenses required for the Work.
(B) Taxes. Contractor must pay for all taxes on labor, material and equipment,
except Federal Excise Tax to the extent that City is exempt from Federal Excise Tax.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 31
7.2 Temporary Facilities. Contractor must provide, at Contractor's sole expense, any and
all temporary facilities for the Project, including an onsite staging area for materials and
equipment, a field office, sanitary facilities, utilities, storage, scaffolds, barricades,
walkways, and any other temporary structure required to safely perform the Work along
with any incidental utility services. The location of all temporary facilities must be
approved by the City prior to installation. Temporary facilities must be safe and adequate
for the intended use and installed and maintained in accordance with Laws and the
Contract Documents. Contractor must fence and screen the Project site and, if
applicable, any separate Worksites, including the staging area, and its operation must
minimize inconvenience to neighboring properties. Additional provisions pertaining to
temporary facilities may be included in the Specifications or Special Conditions.
(A) Utilities. Contractor must install and maintain the power, water, sewer and all
other utilities required for the Project site, including the piping, wiring, internet and wifi
connections, and any related equipment necessary to maintain the temporary facilities.
(B) Removal and Repair. Contractor must promptly remove all such temporary
facilities when they are no longer needed or upon completion of the Work, whichever
comes first. Contractor must promptly repair any damage to City's property or to other
property caused by the installation, use, or removal of the temporary facilities, and must
promptly restore the property to its original or intended condition.
7.3 Noninterference and Site Management. Contractor must avoid interfering with City's
use of its property at or adjacent to the Project site, including use of roadways, entrances,
parking areas, walkways, and structures. Contractor must also minimize disruption of
access to private property in the Project vicinity. Contractor must coordinate with affected
property owners, tenants, and businesses, and maintain some vehicle and pedestrian
access to their residences or properties at all times. Temporary access ramps, fencing or
other measures must be provided as needed. Before blocking access to a private
driveway or parking lot, Contractor must provide effective notice to the affected parties at
least 48 hours in advance of the pending closure and allow them to remove vehicles.
Private driveways, residences and parking lots must have access to a roadway during
non -Work hours.
(A) Offsite Acquisition. Unless otherwise provided by City, Contractor must
acquire, use and dispose of, at its sole expense, any Worksites, licenses, easements,
and temporary facilities necessary to access and perform the Work.
(B) Offsite Staging Area and Field Office. If additional space beyond the Project
site is needed, such as for the staging area or the field office, Contractor may need to
make arrangements with the nearby property owner(s) to secure the space. Before using
or occupying any property owned by a third party, Contractor must provide City with a
copy of the necessary license agreement, easement, or other written authorization from
the property owner, together with a written release from the property owner holding City
harmless from any related liability, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
(C) Traffic Management. Contractor must provide traffic management and traffic
controls as specified in the Contract Documents, as required by Laws, and as otherwise
required to ensure public and worker safety, and to avoid interference with public or
private operations or the normal flow of vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian traffic.
7.4 Signs. No signs may be displayed on or about City's property, except signage which is
required by Laws or by the Contract Documents, without City's prior written approval as
to size, design, and location.
7.5 Project Site and Nearby Property Protections.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 32
(A) General. Contractor is responsible at all times, on a 24-hour basis and at its sole
cost, for protecting the Work, the Project site, and the materials and equipment to be
incorporated into the Work, until the City has accepted the Project, excluding any
exceptions to acceptance, if any. Except as specifically authorized by City, Contractor
must confine its operations to the area of the Project site indicated in the Plans and
Specifications. Contractor is liable for any damage caused by Contractor or its
Subcontractors to the Work, City's property, the property of adjacent or nearby property
owners and the work or personal property of other contractors working for City, including
damage related to Contractor's failure to adequately secure the Work or any Worksite.
(1) Subject to City's approval, Contractor will provide and install safeguards to
protect the Work; any Worksite, including the Project site; City's real or personal
property and the real or personal property of adjacent or nearby property owners,
including plant and tree protections.
(2) City wastewater systems may not be interrupted. If the Work disrupts existing
sewer facilities, Contractor must immediately notify City and establish a plan,
subject to City's approval, to convey the sewage in closed conduits back into the
sanitary sewer system. Sewage must not be permitted to flow in trenches or be
covered by backfill.
(3) Contractor must remove with due care, and store at City's request, any
objects or material from the Project site that City will salvage or reuse at another
location.
(4) If directed by Engineer, Contractor must promptly repair or replace any
property damage, as specified by the Engineer. However, acting in its sole
discretion, City may elect to have the property damage remedied otherwise, and
may deduct the cost to repair or replace the damaged property from payment
otherwise due to Contractor.
(5) Contractor will not permit any structure or infrastructure to be loaded in a
manner that will damage or endanger the integrity of the structure or
infrastructure.
(B) Securing Project Site. After completion of Work each day, Contractor must
secure the Project site and, to the extent feasible, make the area reasonably accessible
to the public unless City approves otherwise. All excess materials and equipment not
protected by approved traffic control devices must be relocated to the staging area or
demobilized. Trench spoils must be hauled off the Project site daily and open excavations
must be protected with steel plates. Contractor and Subcontractor personnel may not
occupy or use the Project site for any purpose during non -Work hours, except as may be
provided in the Contract Documents or pursuant to prior written authorization from City.
(C) Unforeseen Conditions. If Contractor encounters facilities, utilities, or other
unknown conditions not shown on or reasonably inferable from the Plans or apparent
from inspection of the Project site, Contractor must immediately notify the City and
promptly submit a Request for Information to obtain further directions from the Engineer.
Contractor must avoid taking any action which could cause damage to the facilities or
utilities pending further direction from the Engineer. The Engineer's written response will
be final and binding on Contractor. If the Engineer's subsequent direction to Contractor
affects Contractor's cost or time to perform the Work, Contractor may submit a Change
Order request as set forth in Article 6 above.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 33
(D) Support; Adjacent Properties. Contractor must provide, install, and maintain
all shoring, bracing, and underpinning necessary to provide support to City's property and
adjacent properties and improvements thereon. Contractor must provide notifications to
adjacent property owners as may be required by Laws. See also, Section 7.15, Trenching
of Five Feet or More.
(E) Notification of Property Damage. Contractor must immediately notify the City
of damage to any real or personal property resulting from Work on the Project. Contractor
must immediately provide a written report to City of any such property damage in excess
of $500 (based on estimated cost to repair or replace) within 24 hours of the occurrence.
The written report must include: (1) the location and nature of the damage, and the owner
of the property, if known; (2) the name and address of each employee of Contractor or
any Subcontractor involved in the damage; (3) a detailed description of the incident,
including precise location, time, and names and contact information for known witnesses;
and (4) a police or first responder report, if applicable. If Contractor is required to file an
accident report with another government agency, Contractor will provide a copy of the
report to City.
7.6 Materials and Equipment.
(A) General. Unless otherwise specified, all materials and equipment required for
the Work must be new, free from defects, and of the best grade for the intended purpose,
and furnished in sufficient quantities to ensure the proper and expeditious performance of
the Work. Contractor must employ measures to preserve the specified quality and fitness
of the materials and equipment. Unless otherwise specified, all materials and equipment
required for the Work are deemed to include all components required for complete
installation and intended operation and must be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations or instructions. Contractor is responsible for all
shipping, handling, and storage costs associated with the materials and equipment
required for the Work. Contractor is responsible for providing security and protecting the
Work and all of the required materials, supplies, tools and equipment at Contractor's sole
cost until City has formally accepted the Project as set forth in Section 11.1, Final
Completion. Contractor will not assign, sell, mortgage, or hypothecate any materials or
equipment for the Project, or remove any materials or equipment that have been installed
or delivered.
(B) City -Provided. If the Work includes installation of materials or equipment to be
provided by City, Contractor is solely responsible for the proper examination, handling,
storage, and installation in accordance with the Contract Documents. Contractor must
notify City of any defects discovered in City -provided materials or equipment, sufficiently
in advance of scheduled use or installation to afford adequate time to procure
replacement materials or equipment as needed. Contractor is solely responsible for any
loss of or damage to such items which occurs while the items are in Contractor's custody
and control, the cost of which may be offset from the Contract Price and deducted from
any payment(s) due to Contractor.
(C) Intellectual Property Rights. Contractor must, at its sole expense, obtain any
authorization or license required for use of patented or copyright -protected materials,
equipment, devices or processes that are incorporated into the Work. Contractor's
indemnity obligations in Article 4 apply to any claimed violation of intellectual property
rights in violation of this provision.
7.7 Substitutions.
(A) "Or Equal." Any Specification designating a material, product, or thing
(collectively, "item") or service by specific brand or trade name, followed by the words "or
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 34
equal," is intended only to indicate the quality and type of item or service desired, and
Contractor may request use of any equal item or service. Unless otherwise stated in the
Specifications, any reference to a specific brand or trade name for an item or service that
is used solely for the purpose of describing the type of item or service desired, will be
deemed to be followed by the words "or equal." A substitution will only be approved if it is
a true "equal" item or service in every aspect of design, function, and quality, as
determined by City, including dimensions, weight, maintenance requirements, durability,
fit with other elements, and schedule impacts.
(B) Request for Substitution. A post -award request for substitution of an item or
service must be submitted in writing to the Engineer for approval in advance, within the
applicable time period provided in the Contract Documents. If no time period is specified,
the substitution request may be submitted any time within 35 days after the date of award
of the Contract, or sufficiently in advance of the time needed to avoid delay of the Work,
whichever is earlier.
(C) Substantiation. Any available data substantiating the proposed substitute as an
equal item or service must be submitted with the written request for substitution.
Contractor's failure to timely provide all necessary substantiation, including any required
test results as soon as they are available, is grounds for rejection of the proposed
substitution, without further review.
(D) Burden of Proving Equality. Contractor has the burden of proving the equality
of the proposed substitution at Contractor's sole cost. City has sole discretion to
determine whether a proposed substitution is equal, and City's determination is final.
(E) Approval or Rejection. If the proposed substitution is approved, Contractor is
solely responsible for any additional costs or time associated with the substituted item or
service. If the proposed substitution is rejected, Contractor must, without delay, install the
item or use the service as specified by City.
(F) Contractor's Obligations. City's approval of a proposed substitution will not
relieve Contractor from any of its obligations under the Contract Documents. In the event
Contractor makes an unauthorized substitution, Contractor will be solely responsible for
all resulting cost impacts, including the cost of removal and replacement and the impact
to other design elements.
7.8 Testing and Inspection.
(A) General. All materials, equipment, and workmanship used in the Work are
subject to inspection and testing by City at all times and locations during construction
and/or fabrication and at any Worksite, including at shops and yards as well as at the
Project site. All manufacturers' application or installation instructions must be provided to
the Inspector at least ten days prior to the first such application or installation. Contractor
must, at all times, make the Work available for testing or inspection. Neither City's
inspection or testing of Work, nor its failure to do so, operate to waive or limit Contractor's
duty to complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
(B) Scheduling and Notification. Contractor must cooperate with City in
coordinating the inspections and testing. Contractor must submit samples of materials, at
Contractor's expense, and schedule all tests required by the Contract Documents in time
to avoid any delay to the progress of the Work. Contractor must notify the Engineer no
later than noon of the Working Day before any inspection or testing and must provide
timely notice to the other necessary parties as specified in the Contract Documents. If
Contractor schedules an inspection or test beyond regular Work hours, or on a Saturday,
Sunday, or recognized City holiday, Contractor must notify the Engineer at least two
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 35
Working Days in advance for approval. If approved, Contractor must reimburse City for
the cost of the overtime inspection or testing. Such costs, including the City's hourly costs
for required personnel, may be deducted from payments otherwise due to Contractor.
(C) Responsibility for Costs. City will bear the initial cost of inspection and testing
to be performed by independent testing consultants retained by City, subject to the
following exceptions:
(1) Contractor will be responsible for the costs of any subsequent tests which
are required to substantiate compliance with the Contract Documents, and any
associated remediation costs.
(2) Contractor will be responsible for inspection costs, at City's hourly rates, for
inspection time lost because the Work is not ready or Contractor fails to appear
for a scheduled inspection.
(3) If any portion of the Work that is subject to inspection or testing is covered or
concealed by Contractor prior to the inspection or testing, Contractor will bear the
cost of making that portion of the Work available for the inspection or testing
required by the Contract Documents, and any associated repair or remediation
costs.
(4) Contractor is responsible for properly shoring all compaction test sites
deeper than five feet below grade, as required under Section 7.15 below.
(5) Any Work or material that is defective or fails to comply with the requirements
of the Contract Documents must be promptly repaired, removed, replaced, or
corrected by Contractor, at Contractor's sole expense, even if that Work or
material was previously inspected or included in a progress payment.
(D) Contractor's Obligations. Contractor is solely responsible for any delay
occasioned by remediation of defective or noncompliant Work or material. Inspection of
the Work does not in any way relieve Contractor of its obligations to perform the Work as
specified. Any Work done without the required inspection(s) will also be subject to
rejection by City.
(E) Distant Locations. If required off -site testing or inspection must be conducted
at a location more than 100 miles from the Project site, Contractor is solely responsible
for the additional travel costs required for testing and/or inspection at such locations.
(F) Final Inspection. The provisions of this Section 7.8 also apply to final inspection
under Article 11, Completion and Warranty Provisions.
7.9 Project Site Conditions and Maintenance. Contractor must at all times, on a 24-hour
basis and at its sole cost, maintain the Project site and staging and storage areas in
clean, neat, and sanitary condition and in compliance with all Laws pertaining to safety,
air quality, and dust control. Adequate toilets must be provided, and properly maintained
and serviced for all workers on the Project site, located in a suitably secluded area,
subject to City's prior approval. Contractor must also, on a daily basis and at its sole cost,

immediately sprinkling with water excavated areas of dirt or other materials prone to
cause dust, and within one hour after the Engineer notifies Contractor that an airborne
nuisance exists. The Engineer may direct that Contractor provide an approved water -
spraying truck for this purpose. If water is used for dust control, Contractor will only use
the minimum necessary. Contractor must take all necessary steps to keep waste water
out of streets, gutters, or storm drains. See Section 7.19, Environmental Control. If City
determines that the dust control is not adequate, City may have the work done by others
and deduct the cost from the Contract Price. Contractor will immediately remove any
excess excavated material from the Project site and any dirt deposited on public streets.
(C) Clean up. Before discontinuing Work in an area, Contractor must clean the area
and remove all debris and waste along with the construction equipment, tools, machinery,
and surplus materials.
(1) Except as otherwise specified, all excess Project materials, and the materials
removed from existing improvements on the Project site with no salvage value or
intended reuse by City, will be Contractor's property.
(2) Hauling trucks and other vehicles leaving the Project site must be cleaned of

site. Contractor will not allow any dirt, refuse, excavated material, surplus concrete or
mortar, or any associated washings, to be disposed of onto streets, into manholes or into
the storm drain system.
(E) Completion. At the completion of the Work, Contractor must remove from the
Project site all of its equipment, tools, surplus materials, waste materials and debris,
presenting a clean and neat appearance. Before demobilizing from the Project site,
Contractor must ensure that all surfaces are cleaned, sealed, waxed, or finished as
applicable, and that all marks, stains, paint splatters, and the like have been properly
removed from the completed Work and the surrounding areas. Contractor must ensure
that all parts of the construction are properly joined with the previously existing and
adjacent improvements and conditions. Contractor must provide all cutting, fitting and
patching needed to accomplish that requirement. Contractor must also repair or replace
all existing improvements that are damaged or removed during the Work, both on and off
the Project site, including curbs, sidewalks, driveways, fences, signs, utilities, street
surfaces and structures. Repairs and replacements must be at least equal to the
previously existing improvements, and the condition, finish and dimensions must match
the previously existing improvements. Contractor must restore to original condition all
property or items that are not designated for alteration under the Contract Documents
and leave each Worksite clean and ready for occupancy or use by City.
(F) Non -Compliance. If Contractor fails to comply with its maintenance and cleanup
obligations or any City clean up order, City may, acting in its sole discretion, elect to
suspend the Work until the condition(s) is corrected with no increase in the Contract Time
or Contract Price, or undertake appropriate cleanup measures without further notice and
deduct the cost from any amounts due or to become due to Contractor.

Project site a detailed, complete and accurate as -built set of the Plans which will be used
solely for the purpose of recording changes made in any portion of the original Plans in
order to create accurate record drawings at the end of the Project.
(A) Duty to Update. The as -built drawings must be updated as changes occur, on a
daily basis if necessary. City may withhold the estimated cost for City to have the as -built
drawings prepared from payments otherwise due to Contractor, until the as -built drawings
are brought up to date to the satisfaction of City. Actual locations to scale must be
identified on the as -built drawings for all runs of mechanical and electrical work, including
all site utilities installed underground, in walls, floors, or otherwise concealed. Deviations
from the original Plans must be shown in detail. The exact location of all main runs,
whether piping, conduit, ductwork or drain lines, must be shown by dimension and

Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 41
8.3 Adjustment of Payment Application. City may adjust or reject the amount requested in
a payment application, including application for Final Payment, in whole or in part, if the
amount requested is disputed or unsubstantiated. Contractor will be notified in writing of
the basis for the modification to the amount requested. City may also deduct or withhold
from payment otherwise due based upon any of the circumstances and amounts listed
below. Sums withheld from payment otherwise due will be released when the basis for
that withholding has been remedied and no longer exists.
(A) For Contractor's unexcused failure to perform the Work as required by the
Contract Documents, including correction or completion of punch list items, City may
withhold or deduct an amount based on the City's estimated cost to correct or complete
the Work.
(B) For loss or damage caused by Contractor or its Subcontractors arising out of or
relating to performance of the Work or any failure to protect the Project site, City may
deduct an amount based on the estimated cost to repair or replace.

deduct from payments due to Contractor as required by Laws and as directed by the
Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
(J) For any other costs or charges that may be withheld or deducted from payments
to Contractor, as provided in the Contract Documents, including liquidated damages, City
may withhold or deduct such amounts from payment otherwise due to Contractor.
8.4 Early Occupancy. Neither City's payment of progress payments nor its partial or full use
or occupancy of the Project constitutes acceptance of any part of the Work.
8.5 Retention. City will retain five percent of the full amount due on each progress payment
(i.e., the amount due before any withholding or deductions pursuant to Section 8.3,
Adjustment of Payment Application), or the percentage stated in the Notice Inviting Bids,
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 42
whichever is greater, as retention to ensure full and satisfactory performance of the Work.
Contractor is not entitled to any reduction in the rate of withholding at any time, nor to
release of any retention before 35 days following City's acceptance of the Project.
(A) Substitution of Securities. As provided by Public Contract Code § 22300,
Contractor may request in writing that it be allowed, at its sole expense, to substitute
securities for the retention withheld by City. Any escrow agreement entered into pursuant
to this provision must fully comply with Public Contract Code § 22300 and will be subject
to approval as to form by City's legal counsel. If City exercises its right to draw upon such
securities in the event of default pursuant to section (7) of the statutory Escrow
Agreement for Security Deposits in Lieu of Retention, pursuant to subdivision (f) of Public
Contract Code § 22300 ("Escrow Agreement"), and if Contractor disputes that it is in
default, its sole remedy is to comply with the dispute resolution procedures in Article 12
and the provisions therein. It is agreed that for purposes of this paragraph, an event of
default includes City's rights pursuant to these Contract Documents to withhold or deduct
sums from retention, including withholding or deduction for liquidated damages,
incomplete or defective Work, stop payment notices, or backcharges. It is further agreed
that if any individual authorized to give or receive written notice on behalf of a party
pursuant to section (10) of the Escrow Agreement are unavailable to give or receive
notice on behalf of that party due to separation from employment, retirement, death, or
other circumstances, the successor or delegee of the named individual is deemed to be
the individual authorized to give or receive notice pursuant to section (10) of the Escrow
Agreement.
(B) Release of Undisputed Retention. All undisputed retention, less any amounts
that may be assessed as liquidated damages, retained for stop notices, or otherwise
withheld pursuant to Section 8.3, Adjustment of Payment Application, will be released as
Final Payment to Contractor no sooner than 35 days following recordation of the notice of
completion, and no later than 60 days following acceptance of the Project by City's
governing body or authorized designee pursuant to Section 11.1(C), Acceptance, or, if
the Project has not been accepted, no later than 60 days after the Project is otherwise
considered complete pursuant to Public Contract Code § 7107(c).
8.6 Payment to Subcontractors and Suppliers. Each month, Contractor must promptly
pay each Subcontractor and supplier the value of the portion of labor, materials, and
equipment incorporated into the Work or delivered to the Project site by the
Subcontractor or supplier during the preceding month. Such payments must be made in
accordance with the requirements of Laws pertaining to such payments, and those of the
Contract Documents and applicable subcontract or supplier contract.
(A) Withholding for Stop Notice. Pursuant to Civil Code § 9358, City will withhold
125% of the amount claimed by an unreleased stop notice, a portion of which may be
retained by City for the costs incurred in handling the stop notice claim, including
attorneys' fees and costs, as authorized by law.
(B) Joint Checks. City reserves the right, acting in its sole discretion, to issue joint
checks made payable to Contractor and a Subcontractor or supplier, if City determines
this is necessary to ensure fair and timely payment for a Subcontractor or supplier who
has provided services or goods for the Project. As a condition to release of payment by a
joint check, the joint check payees may be required to execute a joint check agreement in
a form provided or approved by the City Attorney's Office. The joint check payees will be
jointly and severally responsible for the allocation and disbursement of funds paid by joint
check. Payment by joint check will not be construed to create a contractual relationship

8.7 Final Payment. Contractor's application for Final Payment must comply with the
requirements for submitting an application for a progress payment as stated in Section
8.2, above. Corrections to previous progress payments, including adjustments to
estimated quantities for unit priced items, may be included in the Final Payment. If
Contractor fails to submit a timely application for Final Payment, City reserves the right to
unilaterally process and issue Final Payment without an application from Contractor in
order to close out the Project. For the purposes of determining the deadline for Claim
submission pursuant to Article 12, the date of Final Payment is deemed to be the date
that City acts to release undisputed retention as final payment to Contractor, or otherwise
provides written notice to Contractor of Final Payment or that no undisputed funds remain
available for Final Payment due to offsetting withholdings or deductions pursuant to
Section 8.3, Adjustment of Payment Application. If the amount due from Contractor to
City exceeds the amount of Final Payment, City retains the right to recover the balance
from Contractor or its sureties.
8.8 Release of Claims. City may, at any time, require that payment of the undisputed
portion of any progress payment or Final Payment be contingent upon Contractor
furnishing City with a written waiver and release of all claims against City arising from or
related to the portion of Work covered by those undisputed amounts subject to the
limitations of Public Contract Code § 7100. Any disputed amounts may be specifically
excluded from the release.
8.9 Warranty of Title. Contractor warrants that title to all work, materials, or equipment
incorporated into the Work and included in a request for payment will pass over to City
free of any claims, liens, or encumbrances upon payment to Contractor.

program, require Contractor or its Subcontractor to cease performance of the Work or to
take corrective measures to City's satisfaction. If Contractor fails to promptly take the
required corrective measures, City may perform them and deduct the cost from the
Contract Price. Contractor agrees it is not entitled to submit a Claim for damages, for an

Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 46
(A) Contractor Obligations. Contractor is solely responsible for the proper

Article 11 - Completion and Warranty Provisions
11.1 Final Completion.
(A) Final Inspection and Punch List. When the Work required by this Contract is
fully performed, Contractor must provide written notification to City requesting final
inspection. The Engineer will schedule the date and time for final inspection, which must
include Contractor's primary representative for this Project and its superintendent. Based
on that inspection, City will prepare a punch list of any items that are incomplete, missing,
defective, incorrectly installed, or otherwise not compliant with the Contract Documents.
The punch list to Contractor will specify the time by which all of the punch list items must
be completed or corrected. The punch list may include City's estimated cost to complete
each punch list item if Contractor fails to do so within the specified time. The omission of
any non -compliant item from a punch list will not relieve Contractor from fulfilling all
requirements of the Contract Documents. Contractor's failure to complete any punch list
item within the time specified in the punch list will not waive or abridge its warranty
obligations for any such items that must be completed by the City or by a third party
retained by the City due to Contractor's failure to timely complete any such outstanding
item.
(B) Requirements for Final Completion. Final Completion will be achieved upon
completion or correction of all punch list items, as verified by City's further inspection, and
upon satisfaction of all other Contract requirements, including any commissioning
required under the Contract Documents and submission of all final submittals, including
instructions and manuals as required under Section 7.10, and complete, final as -built
drawings as required under Section 7.11, all to City's satisfaction.
(C) Acceptance. The Project will be considered accepted upon City Council action
during a public meeting to accept the Project, unless the Engineer is authorized to accept
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 47
the Project, in which case the Project will be considered accepted upon the date of the
Engineer's issuance of a written notice of acceptance. In order to avoid delay of Project
close out, the City may elect, acting in its sole discretion, to accept the Project as
complete subject to exceptions for punch list items that are not completed within the time
specified in the punch list.
(D) Final Payment and Release of Retention. Final Payment and release of
retention, less any sums withheld pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Documents,
will not be made sooner than 35 days after recordation of the notice of completion. If
Contractor fails to complete all of the punch list items within the specified time, City may
withhold up to 150% of City's estimated cost to complete each of the remaining items
from Final Payment and may use the withheld retention to pay for the costs to self -
perform the outstanding items or to retain a third party to complete any such outstanding
punch list item.
11.2 Warranty.
(A) General. Contractor warrants that all materials and equipment will be new
unless otherwise specified, of good quality, in conformance with the Contract Documents,
and free from defective workmanship and materials. Contractor further warrants that the
Work will be free from material defects not intrinsic in the design or materials required in
the Contract Documents. Contractor warrants that materials or items incorporated into
the Work comply with the requirements and standards in the Contract Documents,
including compliance with Laws, and that any Hazardous Materials encountered or used
were handled as required by Laws. At City's request, Contractor must furnish satisfactory
evidence of the quality and type of materials and equipment furnished. Contractor's
warranty does not extend to damage caused by normal wear and tear, or improper use or
maintenance.
(B) Warranty Period. Contractor's warranty must guarantee its Work for a period of
one year from the date of Project acceptance (the "Warranty Period"), except when a
longer guarantee is provided by a supplier or manufacturer or is required by the
Specifications or Special Conditions. Contractor must obtain from its Subcontractors,
suppliers and manufacturers any special or extended warranties required by the Contract
Documents.
(C) Warranty Documents. As a condition precedent to Final Completion,
Contractor must supply City with all warranty and guarantee documents relevant to
equipment and materials incorporated into the Work and guaranteed by their suppliers or
manufacturers.
(D) Subcontractors. The warranty obligations in the Contract Documents apply to
Work performed by Contractor and its Subcontractors, and Contractor agrees to be co -
guarantor of such Work.
(E) Contractor's Obligations. Upon written notice from City to Contractor of any
defect in the Work discovered during the Warranty Period, Contractor or its responsible
Subcontractor must promptly correct the defective Work at its own cost. Contractor's
obligation to correct defects discovered during the Warranty Period will continue past the
expiration of the Warranty Period as to any defects in Work for which Contractor was
notified prior to expiration of the Warranty Period. Work performed during the Warranty
Period ("Warranty Work") will be subject to the warranty provisions in this Section 11.2 for
a one-year period that begins upon completion of such Warranty Work to City's
satisfaction.
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 48
(F) City's Remedies. If Contractor or its responsible Subcontractor fails to correct
defective Work within ten days following notice by City, or sooner if required by the
circumstances, City may correct the defects to conform with the Contract Documents at
Contractor's sole expense. Contractor must reimburse City for its costs in accordance
with subsection (H), below.
(G) Emergency Repairs. In cases of emergency where any delay in correcting
defective Work could cause harm, loss or damage, City may immediately correct the
defects to conform with the Contract Documents at Contractor's sole expense. Contractor
or its surety must reimburse City for its costs in accordance with subsection (H), below.
(H) Reimbursement. Contractor must reimburse City for its costs to repair under
subsections (F) or (G), above, within 30 days following City's submission of a demand for
payment pursuant to this provision. If City is required to initiate legal action to compel
Contractor's compliance with this provision, and City is the prevailing party in such action,
Contractor and its surety are solely responsible for all of City's attorney's fees and legal
costs expended to enforce Contractor's warranty obligations herein, in addition to any
and all costs City incurs to correct the defective Work.
11.3 Use Prior to Final Completion. City reserves the right to occupy or make use of the
Project, or any portions of the Project, prior to Final Completion if City has determined
that the Project or portion of it is in a condition suitable for the proposed occupation or
use, and that it is in its best interest to occupy or make use of the Project, or any portions
of it, prior to Final Completion.
(A) Non -Waiver. Occupation or use of the Project, in whole or in part, prior to Final
Completion will not operate as acceptance of the Work or any portion of it, nor will it
operate as a waiver of any of City's rights or Contractor's duties pursuant to these
Contract Documents, and will not affect nor bear on the determination of the time of
substantial completion with respect to any statute of repose pertaining to the time for
filing an action for construction defect.
(B) City's Responsibility. City will be responsible for the cost of maintenance and
repairs due to normal wear and tear with respect to those portions of the Project that are
being occupied or used before Final Completion. The Contract Price or the Contract Time
may be adjusted pursuant to the applicable provisions of these Contract Documents if,
and only to the extent that, any occupation or use under this Section actually adds to
Contractor's cost or time to complete the Work within the Contract Time.
11.4 Substantial Completion. For purposes of determining "substantial completion" with
respect to any statute of repose pertaining to the time for filing an action for construction
defect, "substantial completion" is deemed to mean the last date that Contractor or any
Subcontractor performs Work on the Project prior to City acceptance of the Project,
except for warranty work performed under this Article.

the Contract Price, which has not previously been submitted to City in full compliance
with Article 5 and Article 6, and subsequently rejected in whole or in part by City.

adequately substantiated pursuant to Section 12.2(A), Substantiation, City may first
request in writing, within 30 days of receipt of the Claim, any additional documentation
supporting the Claim or relating to defenses to the Claim that City may have against the

Claim is based on estimated amounts, Contractor has a continuing duty to update its
Claim as soon as possible with information on actual amounts in order to facilitate prompt
and fair resolution of the Claim.
(B) Non -Waiver. Any failure by City to respond within the times specified above will
not be construed as acceptance of the Claim, in whole or in part, or as a waiver of any
provision of these Contract Documents.
12.4 Meet and Confer. If Contractor disputes City's written response, or City fails to respond
within the specified time, within 15 days of receipt of City's response or within 15 days of
City's failure to respond within the applicable 45-day time period under Section 12.3,
respectively, Contractor may notify City of the dispute in writing sent by registered or

(A) Notice of Suspension. Upon receipt of City's written notice to suspend the
Work, in whole or in part, except as otherwise specified in the notice of suspension,
Contractor and its Subcontractors must promptly stop Work as specified in the notice of
suspension; comply with directions for cleaning and securing the Worksite; and protect
the completed and in -progress Work and materials. Contractor is solely responsible for
any damages or loss resulting from its failure to adequately secure and protect the
Project.
(B) Resumption of Work. Upon receipt of the City's written notice to resume the
suspended Work, in whole or in part, except as otherwise specified in the notice to
resume, Contractor and its Subcontractors must promptly re -mobilize and resume the
Work as specified; and within ten days from the date of the notice to resume, Contractor
must submit a recovery schedule, prepared in accordance with the Contract Documents,
showing how Contractor will complete the Work within the Contract Time.
(C) Failure to Comply. Contractor will not be entitled to an increase in the Contract
Time or Contract Price for a suspension occasioned by Contractor's failure to comply with
the Contract Documents.
(D) No Duty to Suspend. City's right to suspend the Work will not give rise to a duty
to suspend the Work, and City's failure to suspend the Work will not constitute a defense
to Contractor's failure to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
13.2 Suspension for Convenience. City reserves the right to suspend, delay, or interrupt the
performance of the Work in whole or in part, for a period of time determined to be
appropriate for City's convenience. Upon notice by City pursuant to this provision,
Contractor must immediately suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work and secure the
Project site as directed by City except for taking measures to protect completed or in -
progress Work as directed in the suspension notice, and subject to the provisions of
Section 13.1(A) and (B), above. If Contractor submits a timely request for a Change
Order in compliance with Articles 5 and 6, the Contract Price and the Contract Time will
be equitably adjusted by Change Order pursuant to the terms of Articles 5 and 6 to reflect
the cost and delay impact occasioned by such suspension for convenience, except to the
extent that any such impacts were caused by Contractor's failure to comply with the
Contract Documents or the terms of the suspension notice or notice to resume. However,
the Contract Time will only be extended if the suspension causes or will cause
unavoidable delay in Final Completion. If Contractor disputes the terms of a Change
Order issued for such equitable adjustment due to suspension for convenience, its sole
recourse is to comply with the Claim procedures in Article 12.
13.3 Termination for Default. City may declare that Contractor is in default of the Contract
for a material breach of or inability to fully, promptly, or satisfactorily perform its
obligations under the Contract.
(A) Default. Events giving rise to a declaration of default include Contractor's refusal
or failure to supply sufficient skilled workers, proper materials, or equipment to perform
the Work within the Contract Time; Contractor's refusal or failure to make prompt
Grand Avenue Cycle Track 2022 Form GENERAL CONDITIONS
11393-02 Page 54
payment to its employees, Subcontractors, or suppliers or to correct defective Work or
damage; Contractor's failure to comply with Laws, or orders of any public agency with
jurisdiction over the Project; evidence of Contractor's bankruptcy, insolvency, or lack of
financial capacity to complete the Work as required within the Contract Time; suspension,
revocation, or expiration and nonrenewal of Contractor's license or DIR registration;
dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, or other major change in Contractor's
organization, ownership, structure, or existence as a business entity; unauthorized
assignment of Contractor's rights or duties under the Contract; or any material breach of
the Contract requirements.
(B) Notice of Default and Opportunity to Cure. Upon City's declaration that
Contractor is in default due to a material breach of the Contract Documents, if City
determines that the default is curable, City will afford Contractor the opportunity to cure
the default within ten days of City's notice of default, or within a period of time reasonably
necessary for such cure, including a shorter period of time if applicable.
(C) Termination. If Contractor fails to cure the default or fails to expediently take
steps reasonably calculated to cure the default within the time period specified in the
notice of default, City may issue written notice to Contractor and its performance bond
surety of City's termination of the Contract for default.
(D) Waiver. Time being of the essence in the performance of the Work, if
Contractor's surety fails to arrange for completion of the Work in accordance with the
Performance Bond within seven calendar days from the date of the notice of termination
pursuant to paragraph (C), City may immediately make arrangements for the completion
of the Work through use of its own forces, by hiring a replacement contractor, or by any
other means that City determines advisable under the circumstances. Contractor and its
surety will be jointly and severally liable for any additional cost incurred by City to
complete the Work following termination, where "additional cost" means all cost in excess
of the cost City would have incurred if Contactor had timely completed Work without the
default and termination. In addition, City will have the right to immediate possession and
use of any materials, supplies, and equipment procured for the Project and located at the
Project site or any Worksite on City property for the purposes of completing the remaining
Work.
(E) Compensation. Within 30 days of receipt of updated as-builts, all warranties,
manuals, instructions, or other required documents for Work installed to date, and
delivery to City of all equipment and materials for the Project for which Contractor has
already been compensated, Contractor will be compensated for the Work satisfactorily
performed in compliance with the Contract Documents up to the effective date of the
termination pursuant to the terms of Article 8, Payment, subject to City's rights to withhold
or deduct sums from payment otherwise due pursuant to Section 8.3, and excluding any
costs Contractor incurs as a result of the termination, including any cancellation or
restocking charges or fees due to third parties. If Contractor disputes the amount of
compensation determined by City, its sole recourse is to comply with the Claim
Procedures in Article 12, by submitting a Claim no later than 30 days following notice
from City of the total compensation to be paid by City.
(F) Wrongful Termination. If Contractor disputes the termination, its sole recourse
is to comply with the Claim procedures in Article 12. If a court of competent jurisdiction or
an arbitrator later determines that the termination for default was wrongful, the
termination will be deemed to be a termination for convenience, and Contractor's
damages will be strictly limited to the compensation provided for termination for
convenience under Section 13.4, below. Contractor waives any claim for any other
damages for wrongful termination including special or consequential damages, lost

and profit to date.
(B) Disputes. If Contractor disputes the amount of compensation determined by City
pursuant to paragraph (A), above, its sole recourse is to comply with the Claim
procedures in Article 12, by submitting a Claim no later than 30 days following notice
from City of total compensation to be paid by City.
13.5 Actions Upon Termination for Default or Convenience. The following provisions
apply to any termination under this Article, whether for default or convenience, and
