Changes in the Work
A.
Form of Change:
1)
2)
The City may, at any time, by written order, make changes in the Work as
deemed necessary by the Engineer. Such changes include, but are not
limited to, changes:
a)
In the Specifications or Plans;
b)
In the sequence, method or manner of performance of the Work;
c)
In the owner-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services or
site; or
d)
Directing acceleration of the Work.
If such changes cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of,
or time required for, performance of the Contract, an equitable adjustment
will be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly.
a)
Change Orders. A change pursuant to this Section A-2B will be in
the form of a Contract Change Order which will set forth the work to
be done or the method by which the change and cost adjustment, if
any, will be determined, and the time of completion of the work.
Upon receipt of a Contract Change Order, the Contractor shall
proceed with the ordered work. If ordered in writing by the
Engineer, the Contractor shall proceed with the work so ordered
prior to actual receipt of a Contract Change Order. A Contract
Change Order executed by the Contractor and approved by the
Engineer is an executed Contract Change Order as that term is
used throughout this Section.
b)
Change Order Protests. A Contract Change Order may be issued
to the Contractor at any time. Should the Contractor disagree with
any terms or conditions set forth in a Contract Change Order which
the Contractor has not executed, the Contractor shall submit a
written protest to the Engineer within fifteen (15) days after the
SP-2
receipt of such Contract Change Order. The protest shall state the
points of disagreement and, if possible, the quantities and cost
involved. If a written protest is not submitted, payment will be made
as set forth in the Contract Change Order. Such payment shall
constitute full compensation for all work included therein or required
thereby. Such unprotested Contract Change Orders shall be
considered as executed Contract Change Orders.
Where the protest concerning a Contract Change Order relates to
compensation, the compensation payable for all work specified or
required by the Contract Change Order to which such protest
relates will be determined in the same manner as provided in
Section A-2B. The Contractor shall keep full and complete records
of the cost of such work and shall permit the Engineer to have such
access thereto as may be necessary to assist in the determination
of the compensation payable for such work. Where the protest
concerning a Contract Change Order relates to the adjustment of
time and the completion or the Work, the time to be allowed
therefore will be determined as provided in this Section.
The consent of the Contractor's sureties shall not be required as to
any change or Extra Work, and the liability of the Contractor's
Bonds shall be increased or decreased accordingly without notice
to the sureties.
B.
Procedures and Allowable Costs on Changes and Additions to Work
1)
Forms of Payment
If the change in, or addition to, the Work will result in an increase in the
contract sum, the City shall have the right to require the performance
thereof. The compensation to be paid for any such work shall, in the City's
sole discretion, be determined in one or more of the following ways:
a)
By agreed unit prices, if unit prices are required by the City's bid
form and provided with contractor's bid;
b)
By proposal and acceptance of an agreed upon lump sum; or
c)
On a time and materials basis.
Until one of the above methods is agreed on, or if the Work is to be paid
for on a time and materials basis, the Contractor shall keep full and
complete records of the cost of such work in the form and manner
prescribed by the Engineer and shall permit the Engineer to have access
to such records as may be necessary to assist in the determination of the
compensation payable for such work.
SP-3
2)
Lump Sum Payment
The City, in its sole and absolute discretion, may request a lump sum
proposal by Contractor to perform the change in, or addition to, the Work
performed. Such lump sum proposal shall be submitted by the Contractor
within ten (10) days of the City's request therefor. Request for a lump sum
proposal by City shall not be deemed an election by City to have the Work
performed on a lump sum basis. Costs of preparing the proposal shall not
be compensable.
a)
Contents of Lump Sum Proposal. The Contractor's proposal shall
be itemized and segregated by labor and materials for the various
components of the change (no aggregate labor total will be
acceptable). The proposal shall be accompanied by signed
proposals of any Subcontractors which will perform any portion of
the change, and of any persons who will furnish materials or
equipment for incorporation therein. The proposal shall also
include the Contractor's estimate of the time required to perform the
changes or additional work.
b)
Computation of Labor Costs. The portion of the proposal relating to
labor, whether by the Contractor's forces or the forces of any of its
Subcontractors, may include the projected wages of the reasonably
anticipated Site labor, including foremen, who will be directly
involved in the change in the Work. These projected wages shall
not include charges for assistant superintendents, superintendents,
office personnel, timekeepers and maintenance mechanics.
Labor costs may also include Contractor's overhead and profit
which shall be computed by adding to the labor costs either up to
fifteen percent (15%) of the projected wages, but not payroll costs,
or the labor surcharge set forth in the California Department of
Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge And Equipment
Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date upon which the Work is
accomplished and which is a part of the Contract. The method of
computing the overhead and profit shall be solely within the
discretion of the City.
The labor surcharge, if used, shall constitute full compensation for
all payments imposed by State and Federal laws and for all other
payments made to, or on behalf of, the worker, other than actual
wages as defined above or travel and subsistence payments as
provided by Labor Code Section 1773.8. No time or charges will be
allowed except when the workers are actually engaged in the
proper, efficient and diligent performance or completion of the extra
work as authorized. Overtime shall not be worked without prior
approval of the Engineer.
c)
Computation of Equipment and Materials Costs. The portion of the
proposal relating to materials may include the reasonably
SP-4
anticipated direct costs to the Contractor or to any of its
Subcontractors of materials to be purchased for incorporation in the
change in the Work. This portion of the proposal may also include
transportation and applicable sales or use taxes. Up to fifteen
percent (15%) of these direct costs may be included as overhead
and profit for the Contractor or any such Subcontractor (such
overhead and profit to include all small tools).
This portion of the proposal may further include the Contractor's
and any of its Subcontractors' reasonably anticipated costs for the
rental and operation of prime construction and automotive
equipment furnished and used in connection with the change in the
Work. The equipment rental and operation rates used shall be the
current edition of the Department of Transportation, Division of
Construction, Equipment Rental Rates. These costs shall not
include charges for listed equipment or major tools with a new cost
of $500.00 or less. No time charges shall be allowed except for
equipment actually used for the proper and efficient performance or
completion of the authorized change in the Work.
d)
Subcontractors. The lump sum proposal may include up to five
percent (5%) of the amount which the Contractor will pay to any of
its Subcontractors for the change in the Work as allowable
overhead and profit to the Contractor.
e)
Failure to Submit Lump Sum Proposal. In the event that the
Contractor fails to submit its proposal within the designated period,
the Engineer may direct the Contractor to proceed with the change
or addition to the Work and the Contractor shall so proceed. The
Engineer shall unilaterally determine the reasonable costs and time
to perform the work in question, which determination shall be final
and binding upon the Contractor.
f)
Failure to Agree on Lump Sum Amount. In the event that the
parties are unable to agree as to the reasonable costs and time to
perform the change in or addition to the Work based upon the
Contractor's proposal and the Engineer and City do not elect to
have the change in the Work performed on a time and material
basis, the Engineer and City shall make a unilateral determination
of the reasonable cost and time to perform the change in the Work,
based upon their own estimates, the Contractor's submission or
combination thereof. In such instances, a Change Order shall be
issued for the amount of costs and time determined by the
Engineer and the City and shall become binding upon the
Contractor unless the Contractor submits its protest in writing to the
City within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the Change Order.
The City has the right to direct the Contractor in writing to perform
the change in the Work which is the subject of the Change Order.
Failure of the parties to reach agreement regarding the costs and
time of the performing the change in the Work and/or any pending
SP-5
protest shall not relieve the Contractor from performing the change
in the Work promptly and expeditiously.
3)
Payment by Unit Prices
If any of the items included in the lump sum proposal are covered by unit
prices contained in the contract document, the City may, if it requires the
change in the Work to be performed on a lump sum basis, elect to use
these unit prices in lieu of the similar items included in the lump sum
proposal in which event an appropriate deduction will be made in the lump
sum amount prior to the application of any allowed overhead and profit
percentages. No overhead and profit shall be applied to any unit prices.
4)
Payment on a Time and Material Basis
If the City elects to have the change or addition to the Work performed on
a time and material basis, the Work shall be performed, whether by the
Contractor's forces or the forces of any of its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors, at actual costs to the entity or entities performing the
change in the Work. Actual costs shall not include any charge for
administration, clerical expense, supervision or superintendence of any
nature whatsoever, including foremen, or the costs, use or rental of tools
or plant.
Contractor may add fifteen percent (15%) thereof as the total overhead
and profit to the entity or entities actually performing the change. This
fifteen percent (15%), however, shall not be applied against any payroll
costs as defined in Section A-2B with respect to lump sum proposals. If
the entity or entities actually performing the work are Subcontractors or
Sub-subcontractors, the Contractor shall be allowed five percent (5%) of
the total charge of the performing entity or entities (including mark-up) as
Contractor's mark-up. No other mark-ups shall be allowed hereunder.
The Contractor shall submit to the City daily work and material tickets, to
include the identification number assigned to the change in the Work, the
location and description of the change in the Work, the classification of
labor employed (and names and social security numbers), the material
used, the equipment rented (not tools) and such other evidence of cost as
the City may require. The City may require authentication of all time and
material tickets and invoices by persons designated by the City for such
purpose. The failure of the Contractor to secure any required
authentication shall, if the City elects to treat it as such, constitute a waiver
by the Contractor of any claim for the cost of that portion of the Change in
the Work covered by a non-authenticated ticket or invoice; provided,
however, that the authentication of any such ticket or invoice by the City
shall not constitute an acknowledgment by the City that the items thereon
were reasonably required for the Change in the Work.
SP-6
5)
Limitations on Changes
The Contractor shall not be entitled to any amount for indirect costs,
damages or expenses of any nature, including, but not limited to, so-called
"impact" costs, labor inefficiency, wage, material or other escalations
beyond the prices upon which the proposal is based and to which the
parties have agreed pursuant to the provisions of this Section, and which
the Contractor, its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors or any other
person may incur as a result of delays, interferences, suspensions,
changes in sequence or the like, for whatever cause, whether reasonable
or unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or
unavoidable, arising from the performance of any and all changes in the
work performed pursuant to this Section. It is understood and agreed that
the Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy in such event shall be
recovery of its direct costs as compensable hereunder and an extension of
the time of the Contract, but only in accordance with the provisions of the
Contract Documents.
It is expressly agreed that Contractor shall not be entitled to claim
damages for anticipated profits on any portion of the Work that may be
deleted. The amount of any adjustment for work deleted shall be
estimated at the time deletion of work is ordered and the estimated
adjustment will be deducted for the subsequent monthly pay estimates.
The City reserves its rights under Section A-2H to audit Contractor's asbid profit in connection with any deductive change, to arrive at a final
adjustment. Contractor's as-bid profit shall be reduced pro rata according
to the proportion of the original contract value less as-bid profit,
represented by the work deleted.
The City reserves the right to contract with any person or firm other than
the Contractor for any or all Extra Work.
C.
Unilateral Change in or Addition to the Work. Notwithstanding the above, the
City, directly or through the Engineer, may direct the Contractor in writing to
perform changes in or additions to the scope of the Contract. The Contractor
shall perform such work and the parties shall proceed pursuant to the provisions
of Section A-2B.
D.
Changes in Character of Work. If an ordered change in the Plans or
Specifications materially changes the character of the Work of a Contract item
from that upon which the Contractor based its bid price, and if the change
increases or decreases the actual unit costs of such changed item as compared
to the actual or estimated unit cost of performing the Work of the item in
accordance with the Specifications and Plans originally applicable thereto, in the
absence of an executed Contract Change Order specifying the compensation
payable, an adjustment in compensation therefor will be made in accordance
with the following:
1)
The basis of such adjustment in compensation will be the difference
between the Contract unit-price to perform the work of the item or portion
SP-7
thereof involved in the change as originally planned and the actual unit
cost of performing the work of the item or portion thereof involved in the
change, as changed. Actual unit costs will be as agreed upon by the
Contractor and the Engineer. If they cannot agree or if there is no unitprice for the subject work, then the costs of the work will be determined by
the Engineer in the same manner as if the work were to be paid for on the
time and material basis as provided in Section A-2B. Any such
adjustment will apply only to the portion of the work of the item actually
changed in character.
2)
E.
Failure of the Engineer to recognize the change in character of the work at
the time the Contract Change Order is issued shall in no way be construed
as relieving the Contractor of its duties and responsibility of filing a written
protest within the ten-(10) day limit as herein above provided.
Differing Site Conditions. The Contractor shall promptly, and before the following
conditions are disturbed, notify the City in writing of any:
1)
Material that the Contractor believes may contain hazardous waste, as
defined in Section 25118 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to
be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance
with provisions of existing law; or
2)
Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the Site differing from those
indicated in the Contract Documents; or
3)
Unknown conditions at the Site of any unusual nature, different materially
from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in
work of the character provided for in the Contract.
The Engineer shall thereupon promptly investigate the conditions. If the
Engineer finds that they do involve hazardous waste, or do materially
differ and cause and decrease or increase in the Contractor's cost of time
of performance, the Engineer will issue and change order as appropriate.
Any increase or decrease of cost resulting from such changes shall be
adjusted in the manner provided in Section A-2B for adjustments as to
extra and/or additional work and changes. However, neither the City nor
the Engineer shall be liable or responsible for additional work, costs or
changes to the Work due to material difference between actual conditions
and any geotechnical, soils and other reports, surveys and analyses made
available for the Contractor's review. In the event that a dispute arises
between the City and the Contractor, whether the conditions materially
differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause and decrease or increase the
Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the
Work, the Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion
date provided by the Contract, but shall proceed with all work to be
performed under the Contract, the procedures applicable to claims for
extra costs shall then apply.
SP-8
F.

The following procedures shall apply to all civil actions filed to resolve claims
under this contract.

both parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be
commenced within thirty (30) days of the submittal, and shall be

proceeding brought under this subsection consistent with the rules
pertaining to judicial arbitration.
b)
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon stipulation of the
parties, arbitrators shall be experienced in construction law. Upon
stipulation of the parties, mediators and arbitrators shall be paid
necessary and reasonable hourly rates of pay not to exceed their

the attention of the Engineer at the earliest possible time in order
that such matters may be settled, if possible, or other appropriate
action promptly taken. The Contractor hereby agrees that it shall
have no right to additional compensation for any claim that may be
based on any act, failure to act, event, thing or occurrence for
which no written notice of potential claim, as herein required, was
timely filed.
G.
b)
In the event of an emergency endangering life or property, the
Contractor shall act as stated in Section B-3E herein, and after

will be as specified in Section A-2 herein.
c)
The City shall pay money as to any portion of a claim which is
undisputed, except as otherwise provided in the contract.

Notice of Potential Claims
a)
It is hereby mutually agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled
to the payment of any additional compensation for any cause,
including any act, or failure to act, by the Engineer, or the
happening of any event, thing or occurrence, unless the Contractor
provides the Engineer with written notice of the potential claims as
hereinafter specified. Compliance with this section, however, shall
not be a prerequisite as to matters within the scope of the protest
provisions in Section A-2A.
b)
The written notice of potential claims shall set forth the reasons for
which the Contractor believes additional compensation will or may
be due, the nature of the costs involved, and, insofar as possible,
the amount of the potential claim. The notice as above required

act by the Engineer, or in all other cases within ten (10) days after
the happening of the event, thing or occurrence giving rise to the
potential claim.
Construction Claims
a)
The Contractor may submit a claim to the Engineer concerning any
matter for which a protest under Section A-2A, or a notice of
SP-10
potential claim, is filed. Such claims, or potential claims, shall be
submitted to the Engineer within sixty (60) days following the
submission of the protest or notice, unless, due to the nature of the
claim or the uncompleted state of the Work, it is impracticable to
determine the amount or the extent of the claim within such period.
In such cases, claims shall be submitted at the earliest practicable
time in which such a determination can be made. In any event, all
claims shall be filed on or before the date of the final release by the
Contractor as provided for in Section B-8I.
b)

All claims shall be in writing and shall set forth clearly and in detail,
for each item of additional compensation claimed, the reasons for
the claim, reference to applicable provisions of the Specifications,
the nature and the amount of the cost involved, the computations
used in determining such costs, all pertinent factual data and all the
documents necessary to substantiate the claim. The Contractor

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices.
The City and its authorized representatives shall have the right to audit the
books, records and accounts of the Contractor under any of the following
conditions:

provisions of the Contract Documents in order to arrive at equitable
termination costs;
b)
In the event of a disagreement between the Contractor and the City
over the amount due the Contractor under the terms of the
Contract;
c)
To check or substantiate any amounts invoiced or paid which are
required to reflect the costs of the Contractor, or the Contractor's
efficiency or effectiveness under this Contract or in connection with
extras, changes, claims, additions, backcharges, or others, as may
be provided for in this Contract; and/or
d)
If it becomes necessary to determine the City's rights and the
Contractor's obligations under the Contract or to ascertain facts
relative to any claim against the Contractor which may result in a
charge against the City;
e)
To determine any difference in cost occasioned by a permissible
substitution; and /or

hereunder, shall preserve and make available to the City for a period of
three (3) years thereafter, at all reasonable times at the office of the

SP-13
3.
4)
The City will make all payments required of it under this Contract subject
to audit, under circumstances stated above, which audit may be
performed at the City's option, either during the Contract time period or
during the record retention time period. Regardless of authorization,
approval or acceptance, signatures or letters which are given by the City
and are part of the City's control systems or are requested by the
Contractor, the payments made under this Contract shall not constitute a
waiver or agreement by the City that it accepts as correct the billings,
invoices or other charges on which the payments are based. If the City's
audit produces a claim against the Contractor, the City may pursue all its
legal remedies even though it has made all or part of the payments
required by this Contract.
5)
If any audit by the City or its representative discloses an underpayment by
the City pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents, the City shall
have the duty to pay any amount found by the audit to be owed to the
Contractor. If such audit discloses an overpayment, the Contractor shall
have the obligation to reimburse the City for the amount of the
overpayment. The City's right to claim reimbursement from the Contractor
of any overpayment shall not be terminated or waived until three years
after the completion of the City's audit or upon the termination of audit
rights under subparagraph (f), below, whichever date is later. The
obligation of the Contractor to make reimbursements hereunder shall not
terminate except as provided by law.
6)
The City's right to audit and the preservation of records shall terminate at
the end of three (3) years after the date final payment is made or
termination of the Contract. The Contractor shall include this "Right to
Audit and Preservation of Records" clause in all subcontracts issued by it
and it shall require the same to be inserted by all Sub-subcontractors in
their subcontracts, for any portion of the work. Should Contractor fail to
include this clause in any such contract or Sub-subcontractor contract, or
otherwise fail to insure the City's rights hereunder, Contractor shall be

such threatened loss or injury, and the Contractor shall so act without
appeal if so instructed or authorized. Any compensation claimed by
the Contractor on account of emergency work shall be determined as

Contractor shall not be entitled to any extension of time or claim for
damages for extra compensation in connection therewith. If and to the
extent that such utilities or facilities are not identified in the Contract
SP-22
Documents, as between the Contractor and the City, the City will be
responsible for the cost of their removal, relocation or protection, as
the case may be, but the Contractor shall perform any such work in
conformance with applicable provisions of Sections A-2A and A-2B, if
so directed by the Engineer. In such situations the Contractor shall not
be responsible for delay in completion of the Project caused by the

or relocation. If the Contractor, while performing the Contract,
discovers utility or irrigation facilities not identified by the City in the

Engineer in writing.

make written application to the City at least FIVE (5) CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR
TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE TIME FOR COMPLETION, stating the reason
why and amount of extension which he/she believes should be granted. The City

D.
Progress Payments
1)
The City will pay the Contractor ninety-five percent (95%) of the amount of
each progress estimate within 30 days after receipt of an undisputed and
properly submitted progress estimate from the Contractor. If the City fails
to pay an undisputed progress estimate within the allotted thirty (30) days,
the City shall pay interest to the Contractor equivalent to the legal rate set
forth in subdivision (a) of section 685.010 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
Five percent (5%) of the amount of each estimate shall be retained by the
City until final completion and acceptance of all work under the Contract.
2)
Upon receipt of a payment request, the City shall act in accordance with
both of the following:
a)
Each payment request shall be reviewed by the City as soon as
practicable after receipt for the purpose of determining that the
progress estimate is a proper payment request.
b)
Any payment request determined not to be a proper payment
request suitable for payment shall be returned to the Contractor as
soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) days, after receipt.
A request returned pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied
by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment
request is not proper.
3)
The number of days available to the City to make a payment without
incurring interest pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by the number
of days by which the City exceeds the seven-(7) day return requirement
set forth in paragraph (ii) of subdivision (b).
4)
The Contractor may, in accordance with the provisions of Public Contracts
Code section 22300, substitute securities for any monies, which the City
may withhold to ensure performance under the Contract.
5)
When, in the judgment of the Engineer, the Work is not proceeding in
accordance with the provisions of the Contract, or when in the Engineer’s
judgment the total amount of the Work done since the last estimate
amounts to less than one thousand dollars ($1,000), no pay estimate will
be prepared and no progress payment will be made.
SP-28
E.
6)
No progress estimate or payment shall be considered to be an approval or
acceptance of any work, materials or equipment. Estimated amounts and
values of work done and materials and equipment furnished will be
conformed to actual amounts and values as they become available in
subsequent progress estimates, progress payments and the final estimate
and payment. All estimates and payments will be subject to correction in
subsequent progress estimates and payments and the final estimate and
payment.
7)
It is mutually agreed between the parties to the Contract that no payments
made under the Contract, including progress payments and the final
payment shall be evidence of the performance of the Contract, either
wholly or in part, and no payment shall construed to be an acceptance of
any defective or incomplete work or improper materials.
Liens and Stop Notices
The Contractor agrees to keep the Work, the site of the Work and all monies held
by the City free and clear of all liens and stop notices related to labor and
materials furnished in connection with the Work, if permitted by law.
Furthermore, the Contractor waives any right it may have to file any type of lien
or stop notice in connection with the Work. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Contract Documents, if any such lien or stop notice is
filed or there is evidence to believe that lien or stop notice may be filed at any
time during the progress of the Work or within the duration of this Contract, the
City may refuse to make any payment otherwise due the Contractor or may
withhold any payment due the Contractor a sum sufficient in the opinion of the
City to pay all obligations and expenses necessary to satisfy such lien or stop
notice. The City may withhold such payment unless or until the Contractor,
within ten (10) days after demand therefor by the City, shall furnish satisfactory
evidence that the indebtedness and any lien or stop notice in respect thereof has
been satisfied, discharged and released of record, or that the Contractor has
legally caused such lien or stop notice to be released of record pending the
resolution of any dispute between the Contractor and any person or persons
filing such lien or stop notice. If the Contractor shall fail to furnish such
satisfactory evidence within ten (10) days of the demand therefor, the City may
discharge such indebtedness and deduct the amount thereof, together with any
and all losses, costs and damages suffered or incurred by the City from any sum
payable to the Contractor under the Contract documents, including but not limited
to final payment and retained percentage. This Section shall be specifically
included in all Subcontracts and purchase orders entered into by the Contractor.
F.
Final Estimate
As soon as possible after the completion of the work and receipt of all
documentation required to be submitted by the Contractor is received, the
Engineer shall make up the final estimate of the total amount of work done,
segregated as to contract item quantities and contract change order work, and
the value of such work; and this amount, after deducting all previous payments
and all amounts to be deducted and retained under the provisions of the contract,
SP-29
shall constitute the final payment. All prior estimates and payments shall be
subject to correction in the final estimate.
Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the proposed final estimate is submitted to
the Contractor, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer the Contractor’s
written approval of said estimate or a written statement of the Contractor’s
exceptions thereto. If the Contractor files a statement of exceptions, it shall be in
sufficient detail to enable the Engineer to ascertain the basis and amount of said
claims. If the Contractor fails to file a statement within the time allowed, it shall
be construed to be acceptance of the final estimate as submitted to the
Contractor. Any claim of the Contractor or the Contractor’s subcontractors or
suppliers with respect to the performance or breach of the contract or any
alterations thereof (except for payment of the balance of the contract price as set
forth in the final estimate) not specifically set forth in such a statement is waived
by the contractor.
G.
Right to Withhold Payments
1)
2)
In addition to all other rights and remedies of the City hereunder and by
virtue of the law, the City may withhold or nullify the whole or any part of
any partial or final payment to such extent as may reasonably be
necessary to protect the City from loss on account of:
a)
Defective work not remedied, irrespective of when any such work
be found to be defective;

filing of claims or liens including, but not limited to claims under
Sections 1775, 1776, or 1777.7 of the Labor Code;
c)
Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly for labor,
materials, equipment, or other facilities, or to Subcontractors and/or
suppliers;
d)
A reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the balance
then unearned;
e)
A reasonable doubt that the Contractor will complete the Work
within the agreed time limits;
f)
Costs to the City resulting from failure of the Contractor to complete
the Work within the proper time; or
g)
Damage to work or property.
Whenever the City shall, in accordance herewith, withhold any monies
otherwise due the Contractor, written notice of the amount withheld and
the reasons therefor will be given the Contractor. After the Contractor has
corrected the enumerated deficiencies, the City will promptly pay to the
Contractor the amount so withheld. When monies are withheld to protect
the City against claims or liens of mechanics, materialmen,
Subcontractors, etc., the City may at its discretion permit the Contractor to
SP-30
deliver a surety bond in terms and amount satisfactory to the City,
indemnifying the City against any loss or expense, and upon acceptance
thereof by the City, the City shall release to the Contractor monies so
withheld.
H.

On the expiration of thirty-five (35) days from the date of acceptance of the
contract and filing a Notice of Completion with the Office of the County Recorder,
the difference between the final estimate and all payments theretofore made to
the Contractor shall be due and payable to the Contractor, subject to any
requirements concerning the furnishings of a maintenance bond, and excepting
only such sum or sums as may be withheld or deducted in accordance with the
material furnished to the City on the located at provisions of this Contract. All
prior certifications upon which partial Payments may have been made, being
merely estimates, shall be subject to correction in the final certificate.
I.
Final Release
Final payment to the Contractor in accordance with the final estimate is
contingent upon the Contractor furnishing the City with a signed written release
of all claims against the City arising by virtue of the Contract. The Contractor,
from the operation of the release, may specifically exclude disputed Contract
claims in stated amounts. The release shall be in substantially the following
form:

CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION
DEBRIS RECYCLING
Exhibit A: Construction & Demolition (C&D)
Debris Waste Management Plan
Exhibit B: Construction & Demolition (C&D)
Debris Recycling Waste Log
CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING
The Contractor is encouraged to recycle construction and demolition (C&D) debris generated
as a result of the project. This section provides the information needed to comply with this
requirement.
The Contractor shall submit a Construction & Demolition (C&D) Debris Waste Management
Plan, Exhibit A, to the Engineer not less than 10 days prior to beginning any work that will
generate C&D debris. The Contractor may contact City's Solid Waste Program Manager for
assistance with developing a C&D Debris Waste Management Plan.
Exhibit A requires an estimate of all waste that will be removed from the project site, whether
that waste will be recycled, salvaged, or landfilled, and the facility that will receive each of the
materials. The Contractor may change the vendors listed in the approved Exhibit A at any
time after the project starts, provided that every attempt is made to recycle or salvage as much
C&D debris as possible. Exhibit A must be submitted to the Engineer.
Accumulating clean loads of separated concrete, asphalt, dirt, metals, wood, etc. should be
evaluated as the preferred processing method since fees for recycling separated materials are
generally cheaper than recycling loads of mixed C&D debris (e.g., commingled wood, roofing,
metals, green waste, etc.) However, space and time constraints may not allow for optimum
source separation of materials and it may be necessary to remove mixed loads of C&D debris.
If C&D debris is combined for recycling, one of the facilities listed below must be used. The
Contractor shall contact these facilities prior to completing Exhibit A to confirm arrangements
and ensure acceptability of materials generated by the Contractor.
At the end of the project, the Contractor is also required to submit a Construction & Demolition
Debris Recycling Waste Log, Exhibit B, with weight tags, to the Engineer to document their
recycling efforts. The project name, number, and tonnage or cubic yards shall be shown on all
weight tags. Exhibit B must be submitted to the Engineer before Final Acceptance of the
project will be processed. The Contractor shall keep a copy of all weight tags for records.
Exhibits A and B are included in the Exhibits section of this bid/contract document.
Authorized Recycling Facilities for Mixed Loads of C&D Debris:
The following facilities have been certified as C&D Debris Sorting Facilities:

It is the Contractor’s responsibility to determine which facility accepts what type of separated or
mixed C&D debris prior to completing and submitting Exhibit A to the City.
Full compensation for Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling including furnishing all
labor, materials, tools, equipment and incidentals for implementing the above recycling
requirements, including the work required to segregate C&D debris, stockpiling, container
rental cost and fees required by recycling facilities, as specified in these special provisions and
as directed by the Engineer, shall be considered as included in the prices paid for the various
contract items of work involved and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.

F. Definitions
Please read and understand these terms. Call the General Services Department at (916) 727-4770 if these terms are not clear to you.
1.
Self-haul or self-hauling. This is when the contractor hauls their own waste materials for recycling or disposal. Note that a
jobsite cleanup crew is not considered “doing other work on the project” and is not self-hauling. Jobsite cleanup crews need to
be franchised in order to haul mixed C&D debris away.
2.
Franchised hauler. Contact the General Services Department at (916) 727-4770 for a list of these haulers. These companies are
the only companies in the City of Citrus Heights who can legally collect and haul mixed C&D debris for a fee.
3.
Source separation. This is achieving compliance with the recycling requirement by keeping cardboard, metal, wood, or other
recyclables in separate containers, and sending materials to an authorized recycler. Call the General Services Department at (916)
727-4770 for a list of authorized recyclers. Source-separated material may be hauled by anyone.
4.
Mixed C&D debris. This is achieving compliance with the recycling requirement by putting all recyclable (and a small amount
of unrecyclable) debris in one container. Mixed material must be sent to a certified mixed C&D sorting facility to have the
recyclable material extracted and recovered. Mixed material also must be either self-hauled or hauled by a franchised hauler. If
your job site is crowded, this option saves the most space.
5.
Certified Mixed C&D Sorting Facility. These facilities have been certified by the Sacramento Regional Solid Waste Authority
(SWA) to extract recyclable materials from, mixed C&D debris. In order to achieve compliance by mixed recovery, your debris
must go to a certified mixed sorting facility.
G. Terms and Conditions
•
Your approved Waste Management Plan and Waste Log must be kept on the job site in the permit envelope for the duration of the
project.
•
City of Citrus Heights staff may enter the job site to inspect waste collection areas and recordkeeping (e.g., Waste Management
Plan, Waste Log).
•
Clean Wood Waste (unpainted, untreated lumber, plywood, and OSB), Corrugated Cardboard, Inert Materials (asphalt
paving, block, brick, concrete, and dirt), Scrap Metal, and Wooden Pallets must be recycled.
•
Only SWA-Certified Mixed C&D Sorting Facilities may be used to recycle these materials if mixed with other materials.
•
Only City of Citrus Heights-Franchised Haulers or self-haulers (as defined above) may collect and transport mixed C&D material
from the job site.
•
Construction and Demolition Debris may not be burned or dumped illegally.
•
Your Waste Log must be completed and submitted prior to the project being field accepted. All recycling activity must be
entered on the Waste Log, including information from permit holders who self-hauled their own recyclables off-site.
•
Failure to comply with these terms and conditions may result in a fine and an investigative fee on future projects.

Appendix E
STATE WAGE DECISION
Project No. 22-16-001
STATE WAGE DECISION
Prevailing wages must be paid to all workers employed on a public works project when
the public works project is over $1,000. If an awarding body elects to initiate and
enforce a labor compliance program, that has been approved by the Director of the
Department of Industrial Relations, for every public works project under the authority of
the awarding body, prevailing wages are not required to be paid for any public works
project of $25,000 or less when the project is for construction work, or for any public
works project of $15,000 or less when the project is for alteration, demolition, repair, or
maintenance work.
California’s prevailing wage laws ensure that the ability to get a public works contract is
not based on paying lower wage rates than a competitor. All bidders are required to use
the same wage rates when bidding on a public works project. California law requires
that not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages be paid to all workers
employed on a public works project.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 1770 of the Labor Code of the State of
California, the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations has determined the
general prevailing rate of per diem wages applicable to the work to be done, and a
current copy of said prevailing wages is on file with the City Clerk. The state wage
determination can also be accessed online at:
