plans; reference specifications. In the absence of a controlling or contrary provision in the
foregoing, the Standard Specifications (2018 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 City Office located at 130 Avram Avenue, Rohnert Park, CA 94928.
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
§ 1773.2.)
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
SEWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: CIP-6 SEWER CAPACITY PROJECT PHASE 1
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2019-20 Page 1-3
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 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.
With each application for payment, Contractor shall also deliver certified payrolls to Owner
as set forth above in these General Conditions, and concurrently therewith (but in no event less
frequently than monthly) directly to the Labor Commissioner in the format prescribed by the Labor
Commissioner.
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 thi s
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. Additionally,
Contractor shall be responsible for any overtime hourly costs of City inspectors.
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 of the
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
SEWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: CIP-6 SEWER CAPACITY PROJECT PHASE 1
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2019-20 Page 1-4
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 (including without
limitation California Civil Code Section 2782), 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 sole negligence, intentional misconduct or 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
SEWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: CIP-6 SEWER CAPACITY PROJECT PHASE 1
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2019-20 Page 1-5
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 of Termination 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:
A. Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the Work or any part thereof with
such diligence as will insure its completion within the time specified or any
permitted extension.
B. Contractor fails to complete the Work on time.
C. Contractor is adjudged bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or a receiver is appointed on account of Contractor’s
insolvency.
D. Contractor fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper
materials to complete the Work in the time specified.
E. Contractor fails to make prompt payment to any subcontractor or for
material or labor.
F. Contractor fails to abide by any applicable laws, ordinances or instructions
of City in performing the Work.
G. Contractor breaches or fails to perform any obligation or duty under the
Contract.
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.
SEWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: CIP-6 SEWER CAPACITY PROJECT PHASE 1
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2019-20 Page 1-6
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.
13. Substitution of Securities for Withheld Amounts: Pursuant to California Public
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
Contractor must be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for moneys withheld and must
receive any interest thereon.
Alternatively, the Contractor may request, and the City shall make payment of
retentions earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the Contractor. At the expense of
the Contractor, the Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities and the
Contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for
in 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
received by the escrow agent from the City, pursuant to the terms of this section.
Any escrow agreement entered into pursuant to this section must contain as a minimum the
following provisions:
a. The amount of securities to be deposited;
b. The terms and conditions of conversion to cash in case of the default of the Contractor;
and
c. The termination of the escrow upon completion of the contract.

action has been taken by such Party to authorize the undersigned to execute this Contract and to
bind it to the performance of its obligations.

experience and qualifications of Contractor were material considerations for this Contract.
C. Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon the heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.
D. Integrated Contract. This Contract, including the Contract Documents, is
the entire, complete, final and exclusive expression of the Parties with respect to the Work to be
performed under this Contract and supersedes all other agreements or understandings, whether oral
or written, between Contractor and City prior to the execution of this Contract.
E. Modification of Contract. No amendment to or modification of this
Contract will be valid unless made in writing and approved by Contractor and by the City Council
SEWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: CIP-6 SEWER CAPACITY PROJECT PHASE 1
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2019-20 Page 1-7
or City Manager, as applicable. The Parties agree that this requirement for written modifications
cannot be waived and that any attempted waiver will be void.
F. Counterparts, Facsimile or other Electronic Signatures. This Contract may
be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which,
when taken together, constitute one and the same instrument. Amendments to this Contract will
be considered executed when the signature of a party is delivered by facsimile or other electronic
transmission. Such facsimile or other electronic signature will have the same effect as an original
signature.
G. Waiver. Waiver by any Party of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Contract will not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any
Party of any breach of the provisions of this Contract will not constitute a waiver of any other
provision, or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Contract.
Acceptance by City of any Work performed by Contractor will not constitute a waiver of any of
the provisions of this Contract.
H. Interpretation. This Contract will be interpreted, construed and governed
according to the laws of the State of California. Each party has had the opportunity to review this
Contract with legal counsel. The Contract will be construed simply, as a whole, and in accordance
with its fair meaning. It will not be interpreted strictly for or against either party.
I. Severability. If any term, condition or covenant of this Contract is declared
or determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions of this Contract will not be affected and the Contract will be read and
construed without the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.
J. Venue. In the event of litigation between the parties, venue in state trial
courts will be in the County of Sonoma. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue
will be in the Northern District of California.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Rohnert Park has caused these presents to be executed
by its officers, thereunto duly authorized, and Contractor has subscribed same, all on the day and year

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The 2019-20 A Section Sewer Project (Project) is described generally as removal of
approximately 650 linear feet (LF) of 18-inch sanitary sewer, removal of four (4) sanitary sewer
manholes, abandonment (via the slurry fill method) of 600 (LF) of 18-inch sanitary sewer,
installation using open trench techniques of five (5) new 60-inch diameter sanitary sewer
manholes, installation of approximately 38 LF of new 18-inch sanitary sewer main, 930 LF of new

SCOPE OF WORK
Coastland’s overall approach to performing Construction Management and Inspection focuses on
teaming with City forces to produce a high-quality, cost-effective project. Our Construction
Manager and Inspector will keep the City informed regarding costs, changes, public relations, and
construction progress. We will coordinate closely with the City and the property owners for the
entire project duration. From the onset of the project, we will establish the lines of communication
and decision making roles with all project stakeholders. Based on our understanding of the project
our scope of services is as follows:
T ASK 1 – PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING
Immediately following the Notice to Proceed, our Construction Manager will schedule and
administer the pre-construction meeting. During this meeting we will establish lines of
communication and decision making roles with all project stakeholders. We will also discuss
safety requirements, responsibilities of the project team members, working hours, quality control
procedures, submittal requirements, project schedule, change order and potential claim
procedures, and safety procedures.

Coastland will be responsible for generating pre-construction meeting invitations including the
meeting agenda. Agenda items include lines of communication, public relations, safety,
submittals, change procedures, payments, progress schedules, contract time, requests for
information, and other applicable items. Coastland will prepare and distribute meeting minutes to
all parties.
Following the pre-construction meeting, Coastland will continue to work with the City team,
contractor, and Coastland’s design team to ensure that all project issues are addressed promptly
and that the City’s best interests are considered at all times.
TASK 2 – PRE-CONSTRUCTION SITE VISIT AND DOCUMENTATION
Coastland will take pre-construction digital photos of the construction site with special attention
given to sensitive areas including any private residences and businesses adjacent to the project.
Documenting the site prior to construction will help mitigate possible disputes between the City,
contractor and property owners within or adjacent to the project limits. These photos will be
logged and filed with the project files.
TASK 3 – PROJECT START -UP
Coastland will assemble project files in accordance with the City’s standard format. Coastland
utilizes a centralized system for document control to create, store, organize, track, and link all
project information. Our digital record-keeping will ensure the constant flow of documentation to
a form that quickly and easily identifies trends and critical issues and will help keep the project
moving as it helps document the work.
TASK 4 - DAILY FIELD INSPECTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION
A critical aspect of our services is maintaining close communication with City staff to ensure
scheduling goals are met. To help maintain close communication, Coastland’s inspector will be
accessible to the City at all times at the project site and through the use of email and cellular
phones. Coastland’s on-site inspector will examine all construction activities to ensure that the
contract work adheres to the contract documents, City standards and the established schedule.
We will maintain records and provide documentation of the work in the form of daily reports,
weekly summary of construction activities, deficiency lists, and progress photographs of
construction activities. Daily reports will describe the contractor’s level of effort, specific work
being done, started, or finished, and relevant points raised by the contractor that may require
consideration and response. We also document proposed change orders and claims, important
conversations, safety issues or accidents, extra work in progress, materials testing performed,
information for “as-built” drawings, quantities for progress payments, environmental concerns and
hazardous materials.
Coastland will provide a digital photo logbook of construction activities, progress, and areas of
concern or interest. The photo log will be compiled on a portable storage device (USB drive) and
will identify the location and date of each photo. The log will be maintained through the duration
of the project to assure continuity from one week to the next and will be submitted to the City at
the close of the project.

Coastland will continually review the specifications and plans to ensure the work is of good quality
and meets the requirements of the contract documents. Coastland will immediately report any
deviation from the approved contract documents.
Our inspector will identify actual and potential problems and provide solutions. We will maintain
daily documentation and resolve issues by proposing field changes and avoid any delays.
Our inspector will review the Contractor’s traffic control plan to make certain that access is
maintained during construction.
Task 4a – Materials Testing
RGH Consultants will provide materials testing as follows:
Slurry sampling – Assumed 6 sampling site visits and tests. The contractor has responsibility
for slurry sampling and testing according to the specifications.
Compaction testing for curb, gutter, sidewalk and laterals – Assumed four (4) site visits.
Required by the specifications and has been previously requested by the City.
Concrete sampling for curb, gutter, sidewalk and laterals – Assumed two (2) site visits.
Required by the specifications and has been previously requested by the City.
Asphalt testing for digouts and overlay – 4 days.
In summary, our Inspector’s responsibilities include:
Represent the City in ensuring that the terms of the construction contract are followed
throughout the term of the project.
Participate in regular meetings called by the Construction Manager.
Protect the interest of the City.
Daily inspection of the contractor’s work for conformance to the contract documents, codes,
regulations, and City standards.
Prepare and submit daily inspection reports that document all job site activities.
Serve as a daily contact for the contractor as to performance of the construction.
Respond promptly to City requests.
Verify construction material quantities.
Monitor traffic control procedures.
Distribute notifications to impacted public regarding the status of construction.
Document construction activities with photographs and maintain a photo log.
Respond to calls from the public promptly and log any complaints in a timely manner.
Work overtime as needed to assure presence on site during all construction activities.
Document and maintain complete field files containing construction period correspondences,
changes, discussions with contractor, memos, reports, and other pertinent items.
TASK 5 – PROGRESS MEETINGS
Coastland will conduct weekly coordination and progress meetings to focus on completed and
upcoming work, any construction delays, schedule updates, proposed changes, change orders,
contractor’s questions, public relations, safety and other concerns that are identified by a project
team member. We will work to foster honest, open communication at these weekly meetings
which will help in timely resolution of any disputes and/or potential claims.

TASK 6 – STATUS REPORTS AND DOCUMENTATION
Task 6a – Reports
Complete and accurate record keeping will be an essential component of this project. We will
ensure project documents and certified payroll are complete and correct sub-contractors are
used. We will keep the City informed and document all construction issues with the following:
Weekly Statement of Working Days
Progress Meeting Minutes
Field Directive Log
Change order tracking
Regular phone calls and e-mails
Task 6b – Submittal Management
Coastland will coordinate all submittals and monitor the status of the submittals to assure the
contractor provides timely response. At the pre-construction conference, we will provide the
contractor with a log of all required submittals and due dates. Submittals will be stamped, logged
and distributed to the designer for complete review and approval. Submittals will be filed
numerically and approved copies will be distributed to the City, project members, and the
contractor.
Task 6c – Requests for Information (RFI)
Coastland will receive and log all Requests for Information (RFI’s) from the contractor, and
forward the RFI to the designer. Coastland will track the status of all RFI’s by generating a weekly
RFI log that lists the “Ball-in-court” status, description, and if an RFI results in a potential change
order.
Task 6d – Change Order Management
In the event that a change order is required, Coastland will negotiate the changes with the
contractor and prepare documentation. All changes will be approved by the contractor, Coastland
and the City prior to starting work on the change. With the City’s approval, Coastland can
negotiate with the contractor to produce the best construction method for the change at the lowest
cost. If a change order requires input from the design engineer, our Construction Manager will
coordinate with them to ensure it is reviewed. A Change Order Log will be created that will show
Change Order number, description, status, approved date, start and completion dates and cost.
TASK 7 – CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Our goal is to ensure that construction and contract administration are performed in compliance
with City requirements and standards, and the project plans and specifications. To accomplish
this goal, our Construction Manager will manage the day-to-day construction activities with the
contractor. He will be accessible to the City at all times. The Construction Manager will be
responsible for keeping the City informed of the progress of the project, changes that may be
needed, pay estimate input and releasing information to the public. In addition, our Construction
Manager will complete all contract administration documentation in a timely, accurate and orderly
fashion.
In summary, our Construction Manager’s responsibilities include:
Continuous communication and coordination with the contractor through regular progress
meetings.
Review and routing of project submittals and RFIs.
Prepare project pay estimates and maintain records associated with the project’s federal
funding requirements.

TASK 8 – COST AND SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
Coastland will continually review the construction progress and perform field measurements and
quantity calculations. Each month, Coastland will provide accurate calculations for all work items
completed and accepted to provide progress payment recommendations to the City. Coastland
will review the contractor’s progress pay estimate request and schedule of values to assess if
they are reasonable, and will compare this to the field measurements and quantity calculations.
We will continually monitor project costs and keep the City informed regularly.
Coastland will review the contractor’s construction schedule for accuracy, reasonableness, and
will verify that it meets the project schedule, order of work, and contract requirements. Progress
schedules will be reviewed weekly to ensure the contractor is meeting the critical dates. If the
contractor fails to meet critical dates, it will immediately be brought to his attention and remedies
to get back on schedule will be accomplished. Schedule updates may be required once a month
or more. We will negotiate any time extensions for the contractor due to change orders, weather,
or other delays. Coastland will also maintain an as-built progress schedule.
TASK 9 - PUBLIC RELATIONS AND NOTIFICATIONS
Coastland will ensure every effort is made to keep residents and businesses informed of
construction progress and minimize disruptions due to limited access and excessive noise. Our
Construction Manager will proactively meet with property owners prior to and during construction
to address any concerns from those affected by the project.
We will monitor traffic control and flagging procedures to ensure construction proceeds smoothly
and public impact is minimized. There may be traffic delays during peak traffic periods.
Accordingly, we will keep all residents and businesses informed on construction status and
impacts through the use of message boards and notification letters. Our Construction Manager
will also make introductions to the affected properties and provide his 24-hour contact phone
number as appropriate. Coastland will ensure that Contractor provides advanced notice to
residents and businesses, as required by the specifications, regarding roadwork and lane
closures.
Coastland will log and respond to questions and concerns from the public in a timely manner and
will record the contractor’s activities as they relate to public safety and public convenience.
Additionally, our inspector will accurately document pre-construction conditions with a photo log
to verify the project area is restored to its original form following construction.

TASK 10 – POST-CONSTRUCTION MEETING
Following completion of the work, Coastland will organize and conduct the post-construction
meeting. The meeting will document all requirements necessary for final closeout and payment,
and confirm all contract obligations have been met. Recommendations for improvement will be
made and incorporated into future projects. The results of the meeting will be summarized in
meeting minutes.
TASK 11 – PROJECT CLOSEOUT
Coastland will verify completion of punch list items, issue notice of completion, prepare
recommendations for final acceptance of the project, review as-builts for accuracy and
completeness, prepare and recommend final payment, and transmit all construction
documentation to the City. At the completion of the project, we will provide the City with the
following:
All contract files and records (hard & electronic files)
Annotated journal of photos and CD of digital photos
As-built project schedule
OPTIONAL TASKS
If requested by the City, conflict resolution & claim management can be added under an
amendment on a Time & Materials basis.
SCHEDULE
We understand that proper construction management is a priority for the City. Work is anticipated to
commence in October 2021 upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed and is expected to continue for 75
working days.
WORK ESTIMATE
Based on the Scope of Work outlined in our proposal, we have prepared a comprehensive budget
that identifies staffing rates, total hours and costs per task and direct expenses. Inspector rates
are in compliance with current California General Prevailing Wage Rate Determinations.
We propose to provide our services on a time-and-materials basis with a not-to-exceed amount.
Our proposal is based on a project duration of 75 working days and part-time construction
management as outlined in our work estimate. We are providing full-time inspection at 40 hours
per week. No overtime has been added into our estimate at this time.
Our proposal also includes factors such as attending meetings, project closeout and vehicle costs.
Based on these items, we estimate the not-to-exceed fee to be $155,848.00 (see attached Work
Estimate). If the contract time extends beyond 75 working days, or the scope or level of services
change, our costs may also increase. Similarly, if the contract time is reduced, charges will
decrease accordingly.
This estimate has been created to show the overall cost for comprehensive Construction
Management and Inspection services on the project. We welcome the opportunity to speak with
you regarding the scope of services. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or
concerns regarding this estimate.
