Standard Specifications (2010 edition) of the California Department of Transportation shall apply to
this project.
5. Independent Contractor. Contractor is and will at all times remain as to City a
wholly independent contractor. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents will have
control over the conduct of Contractor or any of Contractor's officers, employees, agents or
subcontractors, except as expressly set forth in the Contract Documents. Contractor may not at any
time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors are
in any manner officers, employees, agents or subcontractors of City.
6. Prevailing Wages; Copies of the determination of the Director of the
Department of Industrial Relations of the prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft,
classification or type of worker needed to execute this Contract will be on file in, and available at,
the office of the Director at 601 Carmen Drive, Camarillo, California 93010.
Contractor must post at the work site, or if there is no regular work site then at its principal
office, for the duration of the Contract, a copy of the determination by the Director of the Department
of Industrial Relations of the specified prevailing rate of per diem wages. (Labor Code § l 773.2.)
Contractor, and any subcontractor engaged by Contractor, may pay not less than the specified
prevailing rate of per diem wages to all workers employed in the execution of the contract. (Labor
Code § 1774.) Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code section 1776 relative to the
retention and inspection of payroll records.
Contractor must comply with all provisions of Labor Code section 1775. Under Section 1775,
Contractor may forfeit as a penalty to City up to $200.00 for each worker employed in the execution
of the Contract by Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day, or portion thereof, in which
the worker is paid less than the prevailing rates. Contractor may also be liable to pay the difference
between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day, or
portion thereof, for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate.
Nothing in this Contract prevents Contractor or any subcontractor from employing properly
registered apprentices in the execution of the Contract. Contractor is responsible for compliance with
Labor Code section 1777.5 for all apprenticeable occupations. This statute requires that contractors
and subcontractors must submit contract award information to the applicable joint apprenticeship
committee, must employ apprentices in apprenticeable occupations in a ratio of not less than one hour
of apprentice's work for every five hours of labor performed by a journeyman (unless an exception
Page 2
Exhibit A
is granted under § 1777.5), must contribute to the fund or funds in each craft or trade or a like amount
to the California Apprenticeship Council, and that contractors and subcontractors must not
discriminate among otherwise qualified employees as apprentices solely on the ground of sex, race,
religion, creed, national origin, ancestry or color. Only apprentices defined in Labor Code section
3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards and who have written apprentice contracts,
may be employed on public works in apprenticeable occupations.
If federal funds are used to pay for the Work, Contractor and any subcontractor agree to
comply, as applicable, with the labor and reporting requirements of the Davis -Bacon Act (40 USC §
276a-7), the Copeland Act (40 USC § 276c and 18 USC § 874), and the Contract Work Hours and
Safety Standards Act (40 USC § 327 and following).
7. Hours of Labor: Contractor acknowledges that under California Labor Code sections
1810 and following, eight hours of labor constitutes a legal day's work. Contractor will forfeit as a
penalty to City the sum of $25.00 for each worker employed in the execution of this Contract by
Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is required or
permitted to work more than eight hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar
week in violation of the provisions of Labor Code section 1810.
8. Apprentices: Attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5 (Chapter 1411,
Statutes of 1968) and 1777.6 of the Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the
Contractor or any Subcontractor under him.
Section 1777.5, as amended, requires the Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradesmen in
any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site ofthe public
works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of
approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen that will be used in the
performance of the Contract. The ratio of apprentices to journeymen in such cases must not be less than
one to five except:
A. When unemployment in the area of coverage by the joint apprenticeship committee has
exceeded an average of 15 percent in the 90 days prior to the request for certificate, or
B. When the number of apprentices in training in that area exceeds a ratio of one to five, or
C. When the trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through
apprenticeship training on an annual basis statewide or locally, or
D. When the assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works
Contract would create a condition which would jeopardize his life or the life, safety, or
property of fellow employees or the public at large, or if the specified task to which the
apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a
journeyman, or
E. When the Contractor provides evidence that he employs registered apprentices on all of
his Contracts on an annual average of not less than one apprentice to eight journeymen.
The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of
apprenticeship program if he employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade
on such Contracts and if other Contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.
The Contractor and any Subcontractor under him must comply with the requirements of Section
1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices.
Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be

obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship, San
Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices. .
9. Labor Discrimination: Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code, which
reads as follows:
"A contractor must not discriminate in the employment of persons upon public
works on any basis listed in subdivision (a) of Section 12940 of the Government Code, as
those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code, except as
otherwise provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code. Every contractor for public
works who violates this section is subject to all the penalties imposed for a violation of this
chapter. "
10. Workmen's Compensation Insurance: In accordance with the provisions of Article 5,
Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 (commencing with Section 1860) and Chapter 4, Part 1, Division 4
(commencing with Section 3700) of the Labor Code of the State of California, the Contractor is required
to secure the payment of compensation to his employees and must for that purpose obtain and keep in
effect adequate Workmen's Compensation Insurance.
The undersigned Contractor is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which
requires every employer to be insured against liability for workmen's compensation or to undertake self-
insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and will comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the work of this contract.
11. Indemnity and Insurance: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor must
indemnify, hold harmless, release and defend City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents,
volunteers, and consultants from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, damages, disability,
losses, expenses including, but not limited to, attorney's fees and other defense costs and liabilities of
any nature that may be asserted by any person or entity including Contractor, in whole or in part, arising
out of Contractor's activities hereunder, including the activities of other persons employed or utilized by
Contractor including subcontractors hired by the Contractor in the performance of this Agreement
excepting liabilities due to the active negligence of the City. This indemnification obligation is not
limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages or compensation payable by or
for Contractor under Worker's Compensation, disability or other employee benefit acts or the terms,
applicability or limitations of any insurance held or provided by Contractor and must continue to bind
the parties after termination/completion of this Agreement.
Contractor shall procure and maintain throughout the time for performance of the work under
this Contract the insurance required by the Special Provisions. The requirement that Contractor procure
and maintain insurance shall in no way be construed to limit the Contractor's duty to indemnify City as
provided in the paragraph above.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional
obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
12. City Right ofTermination and Right to Complete the Work. The City may terminate
the Contract when conditions encountered during the work make it impossible or impracticable to
proceed, or when the City is prevented from proceeding with the Contract by act of God, by law, or
by official action of a public authority. In addition, the occurrence of any of the following is a default
by Contractor under this Contract:

Page 4
Exhibit n
diligence as will insure its completion within the time specified or any
permitted extension.

or labor.

G. Contractor breaches or fails to perform any obligation or duty under the

Upon the occurrence of a default by Contractor, the Director will serve a written notice of
default on Contractor specifying the nature of the default and the steps needed to correct the default.
Unless Contractor cures the default within 10 days after the service of such notice, or satisfactory
arrangements acceptable to City for the correction or elimination of such default are made, as
determined by City, City may thereafter terminate this Contract by serving written notice on
Contractor. In such case, Contractor will not be entitled to receive any further payment, except for
Work actually completed prior to such termination in accordance with the provisions of the Contract
Documents.
In event of any such termination, City will also immediately serve written notice of the
termination upon Contractor's surety. The surety will have the right to take over and perform
pursuant to this Contract; provided, however, that if the surety does not give City written notice of its
intention to take over and perform this Contract within five days after service of the notice of
termination or does not commence performance within 10 days from the date of such notice, City
may take over the Work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other method it
may deem advisable for the account and at the expense of Contractor. Contractor and the surety will
be liable to City for any and all excess costs or other damages incurred by City in completing the
Work.
If City takes over the Work as provided in this Section, City may, without liability for so
doing, take possession of, and utilize in completing the Work, such materials, appliances, plant, and
other property belonging to Contractor as may be on the site of the Work and necessary for the
completion of the Work.

Contracts Code Section 22300, securities may be substituted for any moneys withheld by a public
agency to ensure performance under a contract. At the request and sole expense of the Contractor,
securities equivalent to the amount withheld must be deposited with the public agency, or with a state or
federally chartered bank as the escrow agent, who must pay such moneys to the Contractor upon
satisfactory completion of the contract.
Securities eligible for substitution under this section must include those listed in the California
Public Contracts Code Section 22300 or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit. The

Section 22300 for securities deposited by the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the
Contract, the Contractor shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments
