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,

Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Page 1-3
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30
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 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 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 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
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Page 1-4
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30
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 (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
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Page 1-5
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30
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
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, t he 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
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Page 1-6
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30
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.

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.

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.

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.

Contract will be valid unless made in writing and approved by Contractor and by the City Council
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.

the provisions of this Contract.

Contract with legal counsel. The Contract will be construed simply, as a whole, and in accordance

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.

courts will be in the County of Sonoma. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
The bidder must file its bid with the City Engineer of the City of Rohnert Park, California, using the copy of
the Bidder's Proposal and Schedule of Bid Prices furnished with the specifications. These documents must

PROTECTED/PERMISSIVE SIGNAL HEAD CONVERSION PHASE 2
PROJECT NO. 2018-30
and addressed to the City Engineer of the City of Rohnert Park, California. Said sealed bids shall be dropped
off in the secured box to the right of the main doors in front of City Hall located at 130 Avram Avenue,
Rohnert Park, California before 10:00:00 AM on January 26, 2022. The bidder must not file the book of
Special Provisions or the Contract Drawings with his bid.
The bidders attention is directed to the schedule of bid prices that requires this project be bid as a unit price
contract.
Bid Forms. The City will furnish to each bidder one additional bound set of Standard Proposal Forms which,
when filled out and executed, must be submitted as its proposal. Each proposal must conform and be
responsive to the Invitation, the Plans, Specifications and Contract documents.
The wording of the proposal must not be changed. Any additions, conditions, limitations, or provisions
inserted by the bidder will render the proposal irregular and may cause its rejection. Erasures or
interlineations in the proposal must be explained or noted over the signature of the bidder.
In case of discrepancy between a unit price and the total price set forth for the unit price item, the unit price
shall prevail. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of numerals and the correct sum
thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum. Discrepancies between written words and figures, or
words and numerals, will be resolved in favor of the words.
Prices. All proposals must give the prices proposed, both in writing and in figures in the respective spaces
provided, and must be signed by the bidder, who must fill out all blanks in the proposal form as therein
required.
Rejection of Bids. Proposals may be rejected if they show any alterations of form, additions not called for,
conditional proposals, incomplete proposals, erasures, or irregularities of any kind, excepting that erasures or
delineations in the proposal will be accepted providing they are initialed by the signator of the proposal.
When proposals are signed by an agent, other than the officer or officers of a corporation authorized to sign
Contracts on its behalf or a member of a co-partnership, a Power of Attorney must be on file with the City
prior to opening proposals or must be submitted with the proposal; otherwise, the proposal may be rejected
as irregular and unauthorized.
Bid Security. All proposals must be presented under sealed cover and accompanied by one of the following
forms of bidder's security: Cashier's check, certified check, or a bidder's bond executed by an admitted surety
insurer authorized to transact business in this State, made payable to the City. Said bidder's bond submitted
must be the City's bid bond. The security must be in an amount equal to at least 10 percent of the amount
proposal. A proposal must not be considered unless one of the forms of bidder's security is enclosed with it.
A bidder's bond will not be accepted unless it has been properly filled out and executed by the surety and by
the bidder.
Withdrawal of Bid. Any bid may be withdrawn at any time prior to the time fixed in the public notice for
the opening of proposals only by written request for the withdrawal of bid filed with the City Engineer. The
request must be executed by the bidder or its duly authorized representative. The withdrawal of a bid does
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 1: Bid Documents
Rohnert Park City Proj. No.2018-30 Page 1-4
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
not prejudice the right of the bidder to file a new bid. This article does not authorize the withdrawal of any
bid after the time fixed in the public notice for the opening of bids.
Means of Submittal. Proposals submitted by facsimile and proposals failing to reach the office of the City
prior to the date and time set for receipt of same will not be considered.
Opening. Bids will be opened and read at the time and place indicated in the Invitation for Sealed Bids.
Bidders and the public are invited to be present.
Multiple Proposals. More than one proposal from an individual, a firm or partnership, a corporation or an
association under the same or different names, will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that
any bidder is interested in more than one proposal for the work contemplated will cause the rejection of all
proposals in which such bidder is interested. If there is reason for believing that collusion exists among the
bidders, none of the participants in such collusion will be considered in future proposals. Proposals in which
the prices obviously are unbalanced may be rejected.
License Requirement. No proposal will be accepted from a Contractor who is not licensed in accordance
with law under the provisions of Division III, Chapter 9, of the Business and Professions Code of the State
of California, or from a Contractor that has been deemed irresponsible or unresponsive by the City Council.
Subcontractors. Subcontractors listed by the bidder in accordance with the Special Provisions included
herein must be properly licensed under the laws of the State of California for the type of work which they are
to perform.
All bidders are hereby notified that they will be required to comply strictly with the provisions of Sections
4100 to 4113, inclusive, of the Public Contract Code of the State of California.
Each bidder must file with its proposal the name and location of place of business, contractor’s license number
and Department of Industrial Relations registration number, of each Subcontractor who will perform a portion
of the Contract work in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent of the total Contract price. In each
such instance, the nature and extent of the work to be sublet must be described.
The General Contractor to whom the Contract is awarded will not be permitted, without the written consent
of the City, to substitute any person as Subcontractor in place of the Subcontractor designated in the original
proposal, or to permit any Subcontract to be assigned or transferred, or to allow it to be performed by anyone
other than the original Subcontractor. The City may consent to the substitution of another person as
Subcontractor if the original Subcontractor, after having reasonable opportunity so to do, fails or refuses to
execute the written Contract presented to it by the General Contractor, when said written Contract is based
upon the conditions of the general Contract and complies with the Subcontractor's written proposal.
The failure of the Contractor to specify a Subcontractor for any portion of the Contract work in excess of one-
half of one percent of the total Contract price, must be deemed to indicate that the Contractor intends to
perform such portion itself. The subletting or Subcontracting of work for which no Subcontractor was
designated in the original proposal and which is in excess of one-half of one percent of the total Contract
price will be allowed only with the written consent of the City and then only in cases of public emergency or
necessity as determined by said City. Under such circumstances, the City is required to establish the facts
constituting the emergency or necessity and reduce its findings to a written public record.
Violations of the provisions of these specified sections of the Code must be deemed to be a violation of the
Contract, and the City, because of any such violations, must have the right to cancel the Contract. The
Contractor, after any such violations, must be penalized to the extent of 20 percent of the amount of the
Subcontract involved.
Material. The bidder may be required to furnish, as part of the submittal process, a complete statement of
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 1: Bid Documents
Rohnert Park City Proj. No.2018-30 Page 1-5
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
the origin, composition, and manufacture of any or all materials to be used in the construction of the work,
together with samples. Such samples may be subjected to the tests provided for in these specifications or in
the Special Provisions to determine their quality and fitness for the work.
Additional Requirements. The bidder's attention is directed to Section 3 of the General Provisions for
additional proposal requirements and conditions, and information regarding award and execution of the
contract. Contractor submitting a bid to the City of Rohnert Park, a public entity, must state, under penalty
of perjury, the contractor's license number and the license's expiration date. This information must be entered
in the Schedule of Bid Prices. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on
a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code
section 1725.5.
Explanations and Addenda. Any explanation desired by the bidders regarding the meaning or interpretation
of the drawings and specifications must be requested in writing and in sufficient time to allow for a written
reply to reach them and all other potential bidders before the date and time for submission of bids. Oral
explanation or instructions given before award of the contract will not be binding. Any interpretations made
will be in the form of an addendum to the specifications or drawings and will be furnished to all bidders and
its receipt by the bidder must be acknowledged. Any explanation that makes a material change, addition, or
deletion to the terms of the Invitation for Sealed Bids shall be issued no less than 72 hours before the date and
time for submission of bids. If an explanation making a material change, addition, or deletion must be issued
less than 72 hours before the scheduled date and time for submission of bids, the date and time for submission
shall be extended so that a full 72 hours is provided for analysis of the change, addition, or deletion.
Quantity of Work. The quantity of work for the unit price items to be done under the contract as noted in
the Bid Schedule is but an estimate and is not to be taken as an expressed or implied statement that the actual
quantity of work will correspond to the estimate. The right is reserved to increase or decrease, or to entirely
eliminate items from the work if found desirable or expedient. The Contractor will be allowed no claims for
anticipated profits, loss of profits, or for any damages of any sort because of any difference between the
estimated and the actual quantities of work done.
The quantities given in the schedule, for unit price items, are for comparing proposals and may vary from the
actual final quantities. Some quantities may be increased and others may be decreased or entirely eliminated,
and no claim must be made against the City for damage occasioned thereby or for loss of anticipated profits,
the Contractor being entitled only to compensation for the actual work done at the unit prices proposal.
The City reserves and must have the right to increase or decrease the quantities of work to be performed under
a scheduled unit item or to entirely omit the performance thereof and upon decision of the City to so do, the
City Engineer will direct the Contractor to proceed with the said work as so modified. If an increase in the
quantity of work so ordered should result in delay to the work, the Contractor will be given an equivalent
extension of time.
All estimates and all measurements used in determining the quantities of unit price items of work done, the
percentage of completion of lump sum items of work, and the quantity of materials furnished under the
Contract at various times during the progress of the work must be the Engineer's estimates and measurements.
The planimeter must be considered an instrument of precision adapted to the measurements of all areas.
Insurance. The bidder’s attention is drawn to Special Provisions, Location and Description of Work, and
Special Provisions, Minimum Limits of Insurance.
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 1: Bid Documents
Rohnert Park City Proj. No.2018-30 Page 1-6
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
Inspection of Site. The bidder must examine carefully the site of the work contemplated and the proposal,
plans, specifications, and the Contract form therefor. It will be assumed that the bidder has investigated and
is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, as to the character, quality, and quantities of work to be
performed and materials to be furnished, and as to the requirements of these specifications, the special
provisions, and the Contract.
Where investigation of subsurface conditions has been made by the City in respect to foundation or other
design, bidders may inspect the records of the City as to such investigation, including examination of samples,
if available. When the Plans include a log of test borings showing a record of the data obtained by the City's
investigation of subsurface conditions, said log represents only the opinion of the City as to the character of
material encountered by it in its test borings and is only included for the convenience of bidders.
Investigations of subsurface conditions are made for the purpose of design. The City assumes no
responsibility whatever in respect to the sufficiency or accuracy of borings or of the log of test borings or
other preliminary investigations, or of the interpretation thereof, and there is no guaranty, either expressed or
implied, that the conditions indicated are representative of those existing throughout the work, or any part of
it, or that unlooked for developments may not occur.
Making such information available to the bidders is not to be construed in any way as a waiver of the
provisions of the first paragraph of this article and bidders must satisfy themselves through their own
investigations as to conditions to be encountered.
No information derived from such inspection of the records of preliminary investigations made by the City
or from the maps, plans, specifications, profiles or drawings will in any way relieve the Contractor from any
risk from properly fulfilling all the terms of the Contract.
Records of such preliminary investigations as may have been made by the City may be inspected at the office
of the Engineer.
Pre-construction Meeting. At the pre-construction meeting, the successful bidder must submit a CPM
progress schedule which will show the time he/she proposes to occupy in prosecuting the various major
divisions of work and his/her proposed sequence of operations. The CPM progress schedule must be subject
to the approval of the City Engineer.
Adjustment of Schedule. If at any time the construction schedule is inadequate to secure completion of the
work within the time specified, and the work is being prosecuted inadequately or improperly, the Engineer
must have the right to require the Contractor to submit a revised progress schedule, providing for proper and
timely completion of the work.
The Contractor must not be entitled to additional compensation on account of revisions required by the City.

periods of time.

works project pursuant to Section 1771.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code to bid on, be

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this _____ day of______________, 20___, by and

work hereinafter mentioned in accordance with the sealed proposal of said Contractor.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, as follows:
1. Scope of Work: The Contractor must perform all the work and furnish all the labor, materials,
equipment and all utility and transportation services required to complete all of the work of construction and
installation of the improvements more particularly described in the Resolution adopted by the City Council
of said City on <<MONTH DAY, YEAR>>, the items and quantities of which are more particularly set forth
in the Contractor's bid therefor on file in the office of the City Clerk, except work to be performed by
subcontractors as set forth in the Contractor’s bid and for which the Contractor retains responsibility.
2. Time of Performance and Liquidated Damages: The Contractor must begin work within
fifteen (15) calendar days after official notice by the City Engineer to proceed with the work and must
diligently prosecute the same to completion within 160 calendar days of that Notice. The Contractor
acknowledges and agrees that time is of the essence with respect to Contractor’s work and that Contractor
shall diligently pursue performance of the work.
In the event the Contractor does not complete the work within the time limit so specified or within
such further time as said City Council must have authorized, the Contractor must pay to the City liquidated
damages in the amount of $500.00 (five hundred dollars) per day for each and every day's delay in finishing
the work beyond the completion date so specified. Additional provisions with regard to said time of
completion and liquidated damages are set forth in the specifications, which provisions are hereby referred to
and incorporated herein by reference.
3. Payments: Payments will be made by City to the Contractor for said work performed at the
times and in the manner provided in the specifications and at the unit prices stated in Contractor's bid.
The award of the contract is for a total amount of <<AMOUNT>>.
4. Component Parts and Interpretation: This contract must consist of the following documents,
each of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and all of which are incorporated herein and made a
part hereof by reference thereto:

OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
i) Technical specifications
j) Design Standards
k) Plans, Profiles and Detailed Drawings
In the event of conflict between these documents, the following order of precedence will govern:
this contract; change orders; supplemental agreements and approved revisions to plans and specifications;
special conditions; standard specifications; detail plans; general plans; standard 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 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.

Rohnert Park City Proj. No.2018-30 Page 1-19
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
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 co mply,
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 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 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
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 1: Bid Documents
Rohnert Park City Proj. No.2018-30 Page 1-20
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
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 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
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 1: Bid Documents
Rohnert Park City Proj. No.2018-30 Page 1-21
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
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.
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.

OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
until the Contract has been finally executed, after which they will be returned to the respective
bidders whose proposals they accompany.
3.4 BONDS
Prior to the execution by the City of the Contract, the successful bidder must file good and sufficient
bonds to be approved by the City conditioned upon the complete performance of the Contract and
upon the payment of claims for labor and materials in connection therewith. The Contractor must

be subject to the provisions of that chapter and, in addition, must be in the amounts which are
specified in the Special Provisions.
The performance bond must be in an amount specified in the Special Provisions and must be so
conditioned as to insure the complete performance of the Contract without exception.
Should any surety or sureties be deemed unsatisfactory at any time by the City, notice will be given
to the Contractor to that effect, and he must forthwith substitute a new surety or sureties satisfactory
to the City. No further payment must be deemed due or will be made under this Contract until the
new surety must qualify and be accepted by the City.
Any alterations in the work to be done, or increase or decrease of the materials to be furnished,
which may be made pursuant to the terms of said Contract, must not in any way release either the
principal or surety thereunder, nor must any extensions of time granted under the provisions of said
Contract release either the principal or surety, and notice of such alterations or extensions of the
Contract must be waived by the surety. The bonds must be maintained in full force and effect until
the Contract has been completely performed and until all claims for material and labor have been
paid.

bidder refuses or fails to execute the Contract, the City may award the Contract to the second lowest
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-7
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
responsible bidder. If the second lowest responsible bidder refuses or fails to execute the Contract,
the City may award the Contract to the third lowest responsible bidder. On the failure or refusal of
the second or third lowest responsible bidder, to whom any Contract is so awarded, to execute the
same, such bidders' guarantees must be likewise forfeited to the City. The work may then be re-
advertised or may be constructed by other means as the City may decide.

SECTION 4
SCOPE OF WORK
4.1 WORK TO BE DONE BY CONTRACTOR
The work to be done consists of furnishing all labor, methods or processes, implements, tools,
machinery, transportation, insurance, permits, bonds, taxes and materials, except as otherwise
specified which are required to install new conduit where needed, conductors; replacing traffic
signal heads, controller units, software, and conflict monitors; replacing or relocating signs and
sign brackets, and providing traffic control in complete order for use and to leave the grounds in a
neat and orderly condition.
Where items contain a description of work to be included for payment under a particular item, such
description must be considered as including, but not being limited to, the work described. It must
be further understood that it is the intent that the cost of all work necessary for the completion of
the particular item must be included in the price proposal for the item, unless the cost of such work
is specifically included in another item.
4.2 FINAL CLEANUP
Before final inspection by the City, the Contractor must clean the site and grounds occupied by it
in connection with the work of all rubbish, excess materials, falsework, temporary structures, and
equipment, and all parts of the work must be left in a neat and presentable condition. Nothing herein,
however, must require the Contractor to remove warning and directional signs prior to formal
acceptance by the City.
When the Contractor utilizes a staging area or storage yard that is fenced and screened, final
cleanup of the staging area and storage yard will be completed before the fence and screen are
removed, except for spot cleanup or trimming that may be required in areas directly under or
adjacent to the fence and screen.
4.3 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT - EFFECT BETWEEN PARTIES
The City reserves the right to make such alterations or deviations, additions to or omissions from
the plans and specifications, as may be determined during the progress of the work to be necessary
and advisable for the proper completion thereof. When such change is ordered, the City Engineer
must determine and state in his/her written order to the Contractor made pursuant thereto whether
or not in his/her opinion such change constitutes a material change and what adjustment of
consideration provided for in the Contract is warranted. Upon written order of the City Engineer,
the Contractor must proceed with the work as so increased, decreased or altered. Such action and
any disposition thereof may be taken without notice by City to Insurance Underwriters, Sureties, or
Guarantors required by this Contract and absence of notice thereto must in no way whatsoever
discharge the obligation of any such party.
When the City and the Contractor fail to agree as to whether an omission of a portion of the work
or alterations, or deviations or additions to or omissions from the plans and specifications ordered
by the Engineer or City constitute a material change or difference in character of work as herein
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-9
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
contemplated sufficient to warrant adjustment in the consideration provided to be paid to the
Contractor or fail to agree on the consideration adjustment or compensation to be allowed for such
change, the Contractor must forthwith proceed with the changed work upon receipt of written order
from the City Engineer and the following procedures must become operative.
Pending a settlement of the dispute, the Contractor must file with the City Engineer, within ten (10)
days after receiving such written notice to proceed, a protest setting forth in detail in what particulars
the character of the work was changed so as to warrant a consideration adjustment or by what
amount the unit cost or other cost was increased or to what extent the consideration demand or
reduction in consideration determined by the City Engineer as warranted is excessive. The failure
of the parties to agree must in nowise be construed as relieving the Contractor of its duty and
responsibility for continuing with performance under the Contract as changed and filing a protest
as above provided for. Failure to continue performance under such circumstances must constitute a
breach of Contract by the Contractor and the appropriate provisions hereof with relation thereto
must apply. The determination of the City Engineer of the amount of reduction in Contract
consideration or other consideration to City or increase in consideration or other basis of
compensation to Contractor arising out of any such change must be final and binding upon the
Contractor, unless it files such a protest as hereinabove provided within ten (10) days after receiving
notice from the City Engineer to proceed. Payment by City on the basis of Contract prices so
adjusted must constitute full and final performance of City obligation hereunder. If the parties fail
to agree prior to completion of the Contract, final payments must not be delayed but must be made
in accordance with the City Engineer's determinations subject to further claim of the Contractor and
compliance by City with court order, but nothing contained in this clause must excuse the Contractor
from proceeding with the prosecution of the work as changed.
4.3.1 Reduction in Cost
If the cost of work to the Contractor is reduced by reason of any modification of the Contract,
compensation must be made to the City therefor or proportionate reduction in Contract
consideration must be made therefor.
4.3.2 Quantity Changes
The quantities given in the proposal schedule for unit price items are for comparing proposals and
may vary from the actual final quantities. Some quantities may be increased and others may be
decreased or entirely eliminated, and no claims must be made against the City for damage
occasioned thereby or for loss of anticipated profits, the Contractor being entitled only to
compensation for the actual work done at the unit prices proposed.
4.3.3 Extra Work
(a) The City reserves and must have the right, when confronted with unpredicted conditions,
unforeseen events, or emergencies, to revise the details of the contemplated work or to add work of
a different character or function and have the Contractor perform such revised or added work, as
extra work, when such extra work is considered by the City Engineer to be vitally appurtenant to
the satisfactory completion of the project. Extra Work is defined as added work of a different
character or function and for which no basis for payment is prescribed; or that involving revisions
of the details of the work in such a manner as to render inequitable payment under items upon which
the Contractor proposed; or that work to be done under stipulated prices as given in the Schedule of
Bid Prices.
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-10
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
The signing of the Contract by the Contractor will be deemed to be an agreement on its part to
perform extra work, as and when ordered by the City Engineer. The Contractor must give notice to
the sureties on the Contractor's bonds if the estimated total value of the Contract, as changed or
supplemented, must exceed the original total proposal price by more than twenty-five percent
(25%), but failure to give such notice must in no way whatsoever affect the surety's obligation under
said bonds. If required extra work results in delay to the work, the Contractor will be given an
equivalent extension of time.
(b) Upon decision of the City to have extra work performed, the City Engineer will so inform
the Contractor, acquainting it with the details of the new work. Should an item of work within the
proposal schedule correspond with the type of work to be done under extra work to the mutual
satisfaction of the Contractor and the City, the extra work must be performed at the stipulated bid
price and in the manner provided for said item. Should such extra work not correspond to a
stipulated bid price, the Contractor must prepare a price for said work based upon its estimate of
cost and submit said price and estimate to the City Engineer based on one of the following methods
as requested by the City:
(1) For a stated unit price or lump sum amount based upon current prevailing fair prices
for materials, labor, plant, overhead, and profit.
(2) On a cost plus markup basis (force account by the Contractor). All work done by
the Contractor on a cost plus markup basis will be computed in the manner hereinafter described,
and the compensation thus provided must be accepted as payment in full by the Contractor, and no
additional payment will be allowed for the use of small tools, superintendent's services, timekeeper's
services, nor any other overhead expenses incurred in the prosecution of the force account work.
Total Cost Must Include:
MATERIALS: For all materials purchased by the Contractor and used in this
specific work, it will receive the actual cost less normal discounts of such materials,
including freight and delivery charges, as shown by original receipted bills. It must be
understood, however, that such salvage value, as may be agreed upon between the City and
the Contractor for materials which are not permanently incorporated in the work, will be
deducted from the total amount as derived above. The City reserves the right to furnish such
materials required as it deems advisable, and the Contractor must have no claim for profit
on the cost of such materials.
LABOR: For all direct labor engaged in the specific operation, the Contractor will
receive the prevailing wage paid on the project for each and every hour that said labor is
actually engaged in such work. In addition, the City will reimburse the Contractor for
compensation insurance payments; contributions made to the State as required by the
provisions of the Unemployment Reserve Act, Chapter 352, Statutes of 1935, as amended;
and for taxes paid to the Federal Government, as required by the Social Securities Act,
approved August 14, 1935, as amended.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL: For any machine, power and equipment which is
deemed necessary, the Contractor must receive the actual cost of rented equipment
furnished by it as shown on its paid vouchers.
For the use of equipment owned by the Contractor, it must be paid the rental rates
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-11
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
currently prevailing in the locality, and said rental rates must be deemed to include profit
and overhead, and no extra compensation will be allowed, nor will any percentage or
amount whatsoever be added thereto.
MARKUP:
(i) Work by Contractor. A 15% allowance must be added to Contractor's direct
costs and must constitute the markup for all overhead and profit on work by the Contractor.
The Contractor must also be compensated for the actual increase in the Contractor's bond
premium caused by the extra work.
(ii) Work by Subcontractor. When any of the extra work is performed by a
Subcontractor, a 15% allowance must be added to the Subcontractor's direct costs and must
constitute the markup for all overhead and profit on work by the Subcontractor. In addition,
a 5% allowance must also be added to the Subcontractor's direct cost and must constitute
the markup for all overhead and profit for the Contractor on work by the Subcontractor. The
Contractor must also be compensated for the actual increase in the Contractor's bond
premium caused by the extra work.
(c) The Contractor must not commence extra work until it has secured the approval of the City
as to the method and amount of payment thereunder, excepting that the City Engineer may, in
writing, order the Contractor to proceed with extra work in advance of such approval.
(d) Upon receipt of the Contractor's price, the City Engineer will make an analysis thereof, and
the City will adopt one of the following procedures for prosecuting extra work:
(1) Accept the Contractor's price for lump sum or unit price amount in the original or
amended form and direct Contractor to proceed with the work; or direct Contractor to perform the
work on a cost plus markup basis.
(2) Have the work performed by the City under separate contract, without undue
interference or hindrance to the Contractor and without claim or suit by the Contractor for damages
on account thereof.
4.4 MAINTENANCE OF DETOURS
The Contractor must construct and maintain detours and detour bridges for the use of public traffic
as provided in the Special Provisions, or as shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer, and
payment for such work will be made as set forth in the Special Provisions or at the contract prices
for the items of work involved if the work being performed is covered by contract items of work,
and no other method of payment therefor is provided in the Special Provisions. Otherwise, the work
will be paid for as extra work as specified under Paragraph 4.3 of this section.
When public traffic is routed through the work, provisions for passageway through construction
operations will not be considered as detour construction or detour maintenance.
Detours used exclusively by the Contractor for hauling materials and equipment must be
constructed and maintained by Contractor at Contractor’s expense.
The failure or refusal of the Contractor to construct and maintain detours at the proper time must be
sufficient cause for closing down the work until such detours are in satisfactory condition for the
use of public traffic.
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-12
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
Where the Contractor's hauling is causing such damage to the detour that its maintenance in a
condition satisfactory for public traffic is made difficult and unusually expensive, the Engineer must
have authority to regulate the Contractor's hauling over the detour.
4.5 USE OF MATERIALS FOUND ON THE WORK
The Contractor, with the approval of the Engineer, may use in the proposed construction such stone,
gravel, sand or other material suitable, in the opinion of the Engineer, as may be found in the
excavation, but it must replace at its own expense with other suitable material all of that portion of
the material so removed and used which was contemplated for use in the embankments, backfills,
bridge approaches, or otherwise. No charge for materials so used will be made against the
Contractor. The Contractor must not excavate or remove any materials from within the project
location which is not within the excavation, as indicated by the slope and grade lines, without
written authorization from the Engineer.

SECTION 5
CONTROL OF THE WORK
5.1 AUTHORITY OF CITY ENGINEER
The City Engineer must decide all questions which may arise as to the quality or acceptability of
materials furnished and work performed and as to the manner of performance and rate of progress
of the work and all questions which may arise as to the interpretation of the Plans and Specifications.
His/her decision must be final, unless otherwise ordered by the City Manager, and he/she must have
authority to enforce and make effective such decisions and orders which the Contractor fails to carry
out promptly.
5.2 PLANS
The approved Plans are hereby made a part of these Specifications. These Plans show in general the
nature and dimensions of the work to be done. It is hereby understood that changes may be made
according to the best interests of the City.
5.3 CONFORMITY WITH PLANS
Finished surfaces in all cases must conform with the lines, grades, cross sections, and dimensions
shown on the approved plans. Deviations from the approved plans and working drawings, as may
be required by the exigencies of construction, will in all cases be determined by the City Engineer
and must be authorized in writing by him/her.
The Contractor must have Plans and Specifications for the project on the project location at all times
and must make these Plans and Specifications available to the Engineer upon request.
5.4 WORKING DRAWINGS
The Contractor must submit such working drawings, in quadruplicate, as required by the Special
Provisions. Working drawings for any structure must consist of such detailed plans as may be
required for the prosecution of the work and are not included in the plans furnished by the City.
They must include shop details, erection plans, masonry layout diagrams, and bending diagrams for
reinforcing steel, which must be approved by the Engineer before any work involving these plans
is performed. Plans for cribs, cofferdams, falsework, centering, and form work will be required and
must be subject to approval, unless approval is waived by the Engineer. These plans will be subject
to approval insofar as the details affect the character of the finished work, but other details of design
will be left to the Contractor, who must be responsible for the successful construction of the work.
It is expressly understood, however, that approval by the Engineer of the Contractor's working
drawings does not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for accuracy of dimensions and
details, or for mutual agreement of dimensions and details.
Full compensation for furnishing all working drawings must be considered as included in the prices
paid for the various Contract items of work, and no additional allowance will be made therefor.
5.5 COORDINATION OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS
These Specifications, the Plans, Special Provisions, Contract Change Orders, and all supplementary
documents are essential parts of the Contract, and a requirement occurring in one is binding as
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-14
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
though occurring in all. They are intended to be cooperative and to describe and provide for a
complete work.
In case of discrepancy either in the Plans or Specifications, the matter must be promptly submitted
to the City Engineer who must make a determination in writing. Any adjustment by the Contractor
without this determination must be at its own risk and expense. If the Contractor, in the course of
the work, finds any discrepancy in the Plans in the physical conditions of the locality or any errors
or omissions in the Plans or in the layout as given by survey points and instructions, it must
immediately notify the Engineer in writing who must promptly verify the same. Any work or
material not herein specified or shown on the Plans, but which be fair implication in the judgment
of the City Engineer, should be included therein, must be done or furnished as a part of the Contract
as though shown or included in the Plans or Specifications. Any work done after such discovery,
until authorized, must be done at the Contractor's risk.
5.6 INTERPRETATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Should it appear that the work to be done or any of the matter relative thereto are not sufficiently
detailed or explained in the Plans and Specifications, the Contractor must apply to the Engineer for
such further explanations as may be necessary and must conform to them as part of the Contract, so
far as may be consistent with the original Specifications; and in the event of any doubt or question
arising respecting the true meaning of the Specifications, reference must be made to the City
Engineer, whose decision thereon must be final.
In the event of any discrepancy between any Plans and the figures written thereon, the figures must
be taken as correct.
5.7 SUPERINTENDENCE
Whenever the Contractor is not present on any part of the work where it may be desired to give
direction, orders will be given by the Engineer, which must be received and obeyed by the
superintendent or foreman or authorized representative who may have charge of the particular work
in reference to which the orders are given. Any order given by the Engineer, not otherwise required
by the Specifications to be in writing, will, on request of the Contractor, be given or confirmed by
the Engineer in writing.
An authorized representative of the Contractor must be present at the site of the work at all times,
both while work is actually in progress of the Contract and during periods when work is suspended.
Where the Contractor is comprised of two or more persons, co-partnership or corporations,
functioning on a joint venture basis, said Contractor must designate in writing to the City the name
of their authorized representative who must have supreme authority to direct the work and to whom
orders will be given by the Engineer, to be received and obeyed by the Contractor.
The Contractor must have a sufficient number of superintendents or foremen on the site of the work
to adequately supervise and direct each major type of its construction work, and when, in the opinion
of the Engineer, the Contractor's required supervisory personnel are considered inadequate, the
Contractor, upon request from the City, must promptly provide adequate personnel.
5.8 LINES, GRADES AND MEASUREMENTS
Initial staking out of the work will be done by the Contractor, unless otherwise stated in the Special
Provisions. The Contractor will establish control lines and offset lines and set all stakes normally
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-15
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
required in order that the Contractor can make the necessary measurements therefrom for the layout
of the details of its work without the need for surveyors. Survey stakes and bench marks removed
by the carelessness of the Contractor or its employees will be replaced by the City at the Contractor's
expense.
The Contractor must employ skilled personnel for making measurements and skilled mechanics for
setting equipment or metal parts that are to be permanently imbedded in or attached to proposed
structures. Any inaccuracies in the placing of equipment or metal parts must be remedied by the
Contractor at its own cost. Any inaccuracies in the performance of the Contractor's work due to
faulty transfer or measurements must be remedied by the Contractor at its own expense.
5.9 INSPECTION
5.9.1 Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5.9.4 below, all material and workmanship, if not
otherwise designated by the Specifications, must be subject to inspection, examination and test by
the Engineer at any and all times during manufacture and/or construction and at any and all places
where such manufacture and/or construction are carried on. The Engineer must have the right to
reject defective material and workmanship or require its correction. Rejected workmanship must be
satisfactorily corrected, and rejected material must be satisfactorily replaced with proper material
without charge therefor, and the Contractor must promptly segregate and remove the rejected
material from the premises. If the Contractor fails to proceed at once with the replacement of
rejected material and/or the correction of defective workmanship, the Engineer may by Contract or
otherwise replace such material and/or correct such workmanship and charge the cost thereof to the
Contractor, or may terminate the right of the Contractor to proceed.
5.9.2 The Contractor must furnish promptly without additional charge, all reasonable facilities,
labor, and materials necessary for the safe and convenient inspection and tests that may be required
by the Engineer. All inspection and tests by the Engineer must be performed in such a manner as
not unnecessarily to delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests must be as described
in the Specifications. The Contractor must be charged with any additional cost of inspection when
material and workmanship are not ready at the time inspection is requested by the Contractor.
5.9.3 Inspection of material and finished articles to be incorporated in the work at the site must be
made at the place of production, manufacture, or shipment, whenever the quantity justifies it, unless
otherwise stated in the Specifications; and such inspection and written or other formal acceptance,
unless otherwise stated in the Specifications, must be final, except as regards latent defects,
departures from specific requirements of the Contract, damage or loss in transit, frauds, or such
gross mistakes amount to fraud. Subject to the requirements contained in the preceding sentence,
the inspection of material and workmanship for final acceptance as a whole or in part must be made
at the site. Nothing contained in this paragraph must in any way restrict the City's rights under any
warranty or guarantee. No work must be covered by a succeeding operation until the Engineer has
had adequate notice and a sufficient opportunity to inspect the work. Any violation of this
requirement will be deemed an attempt to defraud the City, and the work covered may be rejected.
The Contractor must comply promptly with the instructions of the Engineer. Failure to so comply
must be sufficient cause for breach of Contract. The Engineer may, when in the best interests of the
City, order a suspension of the work or any part of the work which is not, in his/her opinion,
proceeding satisfactorily.
The inspection of the work must not relieve the Contractor of any of its obligations to fulfill its
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-16
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
Contract as prescribed.
5.9.4 Should it be considered necessary or advisable by the Engineer at any time before final
acceptance of the entire work to make an examination of work already completed, and upon which
adequate notice and sufficient opportunity for inspection was as provided in the previous paragraph,
by removing or tearing out same, the Contractor must on request promptly furnish all necessary
facilities, labor, and material. If such work is found to be defective or non-conforming in any
material respect due to fault of the Contractor or its Subcontractors, it must defray all the expense
of such examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. If, however, such work is found to meet the
requirements of the Contract, the actual direct cost of labor and material necessarily involved in the
examination and replacement, plus markup as determined in Section 4.3, must be allowed the
Contractor, and it must, in addition, if completion of the work has been delayed thereby, be granted
a suitable extension of time on account of the additional work involved.
5.9.5 All inspection by the City, the Engineer, or the Engineer’s representative is for the use by the
City in determining the acceptability of the project by the Engineer. The Contractor is responsible
for the quality of all materials supplied and all workmanship. The Contractor must provide and
implement a quality control program independent of the inspections provided by the City. Such
quality control program must be designed to ensure materials and workmanship are of first quality
in conformance with these specifications and the best practices of the construction industry. The
contractor’s quality control plan must be submitted to the Engineer for review within 15 days of
Notice to Proceed. Approval of the quality control plan by the Engineer does not relieve the
contractor of providing sufficient tests or certifications to provide a complete and useable product
in accordance with these specifications.
5.10 UNAUTHORIZED WORK AND DEFECTIVE WORK OR MATERIALS
Any work done beyond the scope of the Plans, Specifications, established by the City Engineer, or
any extra work done without written authority, will be considered as unauthorized and will not be
paid for. Work so done may be ordered removed at the Contractor's expense. Upon failure on the
part of the Contractor to comply promptly with any order of the Engineer made under the provisions
of this Section 5, the City Engineer must have authority to cause defective work or materials to be
remedied or removed and replaced, and unauthorized work to be removed, and to deduct the cost
from any moneys due or to become due the Contractor notwithstanding that such defective work
and materials have been previously overlooked by the Engineer and accepted or estimated for
payment.
5.11 METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
Equipment not suitable to produce the quality of work required will not be permitted to operate on
the project. Of the City Engineer or City representative observes the potential of Contractor’s
equipment damaging City property, the City Engineer or City representative reserves the right and
authority to stop work. Contractor shall not be granted extra additional days or compensation for
the delay of stop work.
Plants must be designed and constructed in accordance with general practice for such equipment
and must be of sufficient capacity and of such character to insure the production of sufficient
material to carry the work to completion within the time limit.
The Contractor must provide adequate and suitable equipment and plants to meet the above

requirements and, when ordered by the Engineer, must remove unsuitable equipment from the work
and discontinue the operation of unsatisfactory plants.
Each machine or unit of equipment must be operated by a person experienced in handling the
particular make of machine or unit of equipment in use, at a speed or rate of production not to
exceed that recommended by the manufacturer.
All vehicles used to haul materials over existing highways must be equipped with pneumatic tires.
Beam scales for use in batchers, proportioning plants, platform scales, or for other purposes must
be equipped with “V” blocks and pivots of hard steel in all hangers or other points of support which
are used as parts of the weighing mechanism.
5.12 FINAL INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
The work will be inspected by the City for acceptance promptly upon receipt of notice in writing,
for the Contractor, that the work required under the Contract has been performed.
If, in the judgment of the City Engineer, the work has been completed in accordance with the Plans
and the Specifications and is ready for acceptance, he/she will so certify and accept the completed
work in accordance with the City’s approved procedures. The City Engineer will, in his/her
certification to the City, give the date upon which the work was completed. Upon acceptance by the
City pursuant to such certification, the date of completion as certified by the City Engineer will be
the date of completion of work up to which penalties for liquidated damages, if any, will be
computed.
5.13 CLEANUP WORK
During construction the Contractor must keep the site reasonably free and clear from all rubbish
and debris. Care must be taken to prevent spillage when hauling is being done on any public road
or street, and any such spillage or debris resulting from the Contractor's operation must be
immediately cleaned up.
Upon the completion of the work, the Contractor must remove all plants, building, rubbish,
unused materials, concrete forms and other like material belonging to it or used under its
direction during the construction. In the event of its failure to do so, the same may be removed
by the City at the expense of the Contractor.

make use of adjacent property, roads, utility lines, fences, vegetation and other improvements as
not included within the rights of way or easements must be at the sole expense and responsibility of
the Contractor.
7.6 PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND ACCESS
The Contractor must conduct its operations so as to cause the minimum obstruction and
inconvenience to traffic and to places of business and residence adjacent to the work. No greater
quantity of work must be under construction at any one time than can be properly conducted with
due regard for the rights of the public. Where existing streets are not available as detours, all traffic

private property, full from damage. The Contractor must make necessary repairs to or reconstruction
of any such improvements damaged at its own expense and as directed by the Engineer.
The Contractor must remove all shattered rock or other loose material which appears dangerous to
workmen or to structures. The fact that such removal may enlarge the excavation beyond the
required limits must not operate to relieve the Contractor from the necessity of making such
removal, and the Contractor must be entitled to no additional compensation under any Contract item
on account of such removal and enlargement.
All material required for sheeting, bracing and shoring must be furnished by the Contractor and
upon completion of the work, except for such as may be left in place, must become the property of

OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the precautions taken by the Contractor are not safe or adequate
at any time during the life of the Contract, he/she may order the Contractor to take further
precautions, and if the Contractor must fail so to do, the Engineer may order the work done by the
City forces and charge the Contractor for the cost thereof, such cost to be deducted from any moneys
due or becoming due the Contractor. Failure of the Engineer to order such additional precautions,
however, must not relieve the Contractor from its full responsibility for public safety.
The Contractor must indemnify, defend and save harmless the City from any legal actions or claims
of every name and description brought against it for, or on account of, any injury or damage to
person or property received or sustained by any person or persons by or from the Contractor, or any
duly authorized Subcontractor or any agent, employee or workman, by or on account of work done
under the Contract of any extension or addition thereof caused by its negligence, or by or in
consequence of any negligence in guarding the same, or any material used or to be used for the
same, or by or on account of any material, implement, appliance or machine used in the
construction, or by or on account of any accident or of any act or omission of the Contractor, or of
any duly authorized Subcontractor or any agent, employee or workman.
A sufficient amount of the money due the Contractor under the Contract as must be determined to
be necessary by the City may be retained until all legal actions or claims for damages as aforesaid
have been settled and evidence to that effect has been furnished to the City. This amount may be
retained in addition to that provided for in Paragraph 9.5.

arrangements for disposing of materials outside of City's right of way at its own profit or loss, and
it must pay all costs involved therewith.
When any material, including excess or unsuitable excavated earth or other materials are to be
disposed of outside of City's right of way, the Contractor must first obtain written permit from the
property on whose property the disposal is to be made, and it must file said permit or a certified
copy thereof, together with a written release from the property owner, absolving the City from any
and all responsibility in connection with disposal of material on said property.
Unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions, full compensation for all costs involved for
disposing of materials, as above specified, must be considered as included in the prices paid for the
various Contract items of work, and no additional allowance will be made therefor.
7.16 CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK
The submitting of a proposal hereunder must be considered as evidence that the bidder has carefully
examined the site of the work with regard to the climatic and physical conditions which will affect
construction operations.
The Contractor must, throughout the entire term of the Contract, assume all risks and expense of
interference and delay in its operations, and the protection from or the repair of damage to

It is expressly agreed that neither the City Engineer nor any of his/her agents must have the power
to waive any of the obligations of these Specifications for the furnishing by the Contractor of good
and suitable material and for performing the work as herein described. Failure or omission on the
part of the City Engineer, or any of his/her assistants or agents, to condemn defective or inferior
work or materials, must not imply acceptance of the work, nor release of the Contractor from
obligations at once to tear out, remove and properly replace the same without compensation, at its
own cost and expense at any time, upon the discovery of said defective work and material, prior to
the final acceptance of the entire Contract; neither must such failure or omission nor any acceptance
by the City or by the City Engineer or any other officer or employee of the City be construed as
barring the City at any subsequent time from recovery of damages from the Contractor and its
sureties, and of such a sum of money as may be needed to remove and to build anew all portions of
the work in which fraud was practiced, or improper work or material hidden.
7.18 RIGHTS IN LAND IMPROVEMENTS
Nothing in these Specifications must be considered as allowing the Contractor to make any
arrangements with any person to permit occupancy or use of any land, structure or building within
the limits of the Contract for any purpose whatsoever, either with or without compensation, in
conflict with any agreement between the City and any owner, former owner, or tenant of such land,
structure or building.

Contractor must maintain in full force and effect, during the entire life of the Contract, public
liability, property damage and personal injury insurance in amounts not less than specified in the
Special Provisions. The Contractor must maintain on file with the City during the entire life of the
Contract a memorandum of coverage or other evidence of such insurance, issued by the underwriter.
Said insurance referred to must not be cancelled or renewal thereof declined unless notice is mailed
to the named insured at least 45 days prior to the effective date or renewal or at least 60 days prior
to the effective date of cancellation. In addition, if a public agency is named as an additional insured
by way of endorsement or certificate of insurance, notice should be given to said public agency.
The Contractor must pay all premiums whether said premiums cover extra work or work under
regular contract items.

The work of installing, assembling, repairing or reconditioning, or other work of any nature on
machinery, equipment, or tools used in or upon the work must be considered a part of the work to
be performed under the Contract, and any laborers, workmen, or mechanics working on such
machinery, equipment or tools, unless employed by bonafide commercial repair shops, garages,
blacksmith shops, or machine shops, which have been established and operating on a commercial
basis for a period of at least two months prior to the award of the Contract, must be subject to all of
the requirements relating to labor set forth herein and in these Provisions.
7.21 CONTRACTOR'S LEGAL ADDRESS
The address given in the proposal must be considered the Contractor's legal address, but this may
be changed at any time by notice in writing to the City at its office. The delivery to such address, or
the depositing in the United States mails in a sealed envelope, postpaid, registered and properly
directed to the Contractor's legal address, of any communications must be considered a legal and
sufficient service of the same upon the Contractor.
7.22 COOPERATION AND COLLATERAL WORKS
Where two or more contractors are employed in related or adjacent work, each must conduct its
operations in such manner as not to cause any unnecessary delay or hindrance to the other. Each
contractor must be responsible to the other for all damage to work, to person or property, or for loss
caused by failure to finish the work within the specified time for completion.
The Contractor must also coordinate its work and cooperate with contractors or workmen employed
by other agencies on or adjacent to the site of the work.
7.23 UTILITIES
Utilities for the purpose of these specifications must be considered as including, but not limited to,
pipelines, conduits, transmission lines, and appurtenances of “Public Utilities” (as defined in the
Public Utilities Act of the State of California) and those of private industry, businesses, or
individuals solely for their own use or for use of their tenants; and storm drains, sanitary sewers,
street lighting, and traffic signal systems.
All utility service interrupted or severed by the Contractor's operation must be immediately
reinstated by temporary connections, and permanent reconstruction must be made as soon as
construction operations permit.
The City has, by a search of known records, endeavored to locate and indicate on the drawings, all
utilities which exist within the limits of the work. However, the accuracy or completeness of the
utilities indicated on the drawings is not guaranteed. Service connections to adjacent property may
or may not be shown on the drawings. It must be the responsibility of the Contractor to determine
the exact location of all utilities and their service connections. The Contractor must make its own
investigation as to the location and type of existing utilities and their appurtenances and service
connections which may be affected by the Contract work and must notify the City as to any utility
located by it which has been incorrectly shown or omitted from the drawings.
Work required in connection with utilities because of interference with Contract work will be
performed and paid for as specified in the following paragraphs, 7.27.1 through 7.22.8; however,
when directed or approved by the City Engineer, changes in line or grade of structure being built
may be made in order to avoid utilities. The cost of such changes will be paid for as extra work.

OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
7.23.1 By Other Than the Contractor:
When it is stated in the Special Provisions or indicated on the drawings that a utility is to be
relocated, altered, or reconstructed by other than the Contractor, the City will conduct all
negotiations with the owners in respect to such work, and the work will be done at no cost to the
Contractor.
7.23.2 By the Contractor Under A Specified Contract Item:
When the bidding schedule contains a separate item covering the relocation, alteration, or
reconstruction of a utility by the Contractor, the price proposal for said item must cover all costs
involved in such work.
The utility owner's drawings and Special Provisions will give the construction details for the work,
and, unless the time at which the work must be done is specified in the Special Provisions, the
Contractor must coordinate with the utility owner in respect to when the work is to be done.
7.23.3 By the Contractor But Not Under a Specified Contract Item:
When work on a utility is specified or indicted on the Plans to be done by the Contractor, but is not
included as a separate Contract item in the bidding schedule, the City will make all arrangements
with owner of the utility in respect to the construction details; however, the Contractor must
coordinate with the utility owner as to when the work is to be done. Any costs for such work must
be absorbed in the unit prices or included in the lump sum amounts proposal for the various Contract
items.
7.23.4 By the Contractor - Service Connections:
The alteration, temporary relocation or reconstruction of service connections to adjacent property
must be the responsibility of the Contractor, and the contractor must notify occupants of the affected
properties before service is interrupted and make all arrangements with the utility owners regarding
requirements of interruption and reconstruction of service connections. The costs for such work on
service connections must be absorbed in the unit prices or included in the lump sum amounts
proposal for the various Contract items, unless otherwise specified in the Special Provisions.
Reconstruction of sanitary sewer house connections must be accomplished in the manner shown on
the Plans.
7.23.5 By the Contractor for His Own Convenience:
The temporary relocation or the alteration of any utility desired by the Contractor solely for its own
convenience in the performance of the Contract work to a position or condition other than that
provided for in the Special Provisions or shown on the Plans must be the Contractor's own
responsibility, and the contractor must make all arrangements with the owners of the utility
regarding such work. Any cost of such work for the Contractor's own convenience must be absorbed
in the unit prices or included in the lump sum amounts proposal for the various Contract items.
7.23.6 By the Contractor or by Others – Unknown Utilities Disclosed during Contract
Work:
In the event that a utility is disclosed subsequent to the award of Contract, such utility not being
indicated on the drawings, the alteration, relocation, or proper support and protection must be done
and paid for as follows:
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-29
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
7.23.6.1 When said utility is found to occupy the space required to be occupied by a part of the
permanent works to be constructed under the Contract, or when said utility is more or less parallel
with the conduit and, in the case of the pipe conduit, found to be within vertical planes of each side
of the pipe a distance away from the pipe equal to ten inches for pipe 96 inches or less in diameter
and equal to twelve inches for pipe greater than 96 inches in diameter or to be within the specified
excavation pay lines (when such are specified or shown on the drawings), the City will arrange for
the relocation or alteration of said utility or require the Contractor to do same as extra work.
However, when said utility is found to cross the excavation laterally, but not to intercept the
permanent works to be constructed, then the Contractor will be required to maintain the utility in
place at its own expense.
7.23.6.2 When said utility is more or less parallel with and any portion of it does not lie within the
vertical planes specified hereinabove (for pipe conduit) or does not lie within the excavation pay
lines (when such are specified or shown on the drawings), the Contractor must advise the City
thereof, and, in cooperation with the City, provide and place the necessary support for proper
protection to insure continuous and safe operation of the utility structure. All costs for such work
must be borne by the Contractor, unless it is ascertained by the City that the utility's franchise is
such as to require the utility to bear such costs, in which case it must be the responsibility of the
Contractor to secure enforcement of said franchise if it so desires.
7.23.7 Responsibility of the Contractor
The Contractor must be held responsible for all costs for the repair of any and all damage to the
Contract work or to any utility (whether previously known or disclosed during the work), as may
be caused by its operations. Utilities not shown on the drawings to be relocated or altered by others
must be maintained in place by the Contractor. Utilities which are relocated by others in order to
avoid interference with structures and which cross the project work must be maintained in their
relocated positions by the Contractor.
At the completion of the Contract work, the Contractor must leave all utilities and appurtenances in
a condition satisfactory to the owners and the City.
7.23.8 Delays Caused by Failure to Relocate Utilities
Where parties other than the Contractor are responsible for the relocation of utilities, in accordance
with the provisions of these Plans and Specifications, and a delay in the Contractor's work is caused
by the failure on the part of said parties to remove or relocate such utilities in time to prevent such
delay. It must be understood that the Contractor must not be entitled, as a result of such delay to its
work, to damages or additional payments over and above the Contract price. If delays in the
Contractor's work are caused by the reason mentioned hereinabove, the Contractor must be entitled
to an extension of time. The length of such extension of time will be determined by the City, with
consideration as to the effect of the delay on the project as a whole.
In order to minimize delays to the Contractor caused by the failure of other parties to relocate
utilities which interfere with construction works, the Contractor, upon request to the City, may be
permitted to temporarily omit the portion of work affected by the utility. The portion thus omitted
must be constructed by the Contractor immediately following the relocation of the utility involved.
Should the omitted portion of the work consist of concrete pipe, the Contractor may complete said
portion by constructing a field joint.

Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-30
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
Unless otherwise specified, where sewers, drainage water, gas or any other conduits and related
structures and appurtenances which have been abandoned or which are to be abandoned as a result
of the construction of this project are found to interfere with construction, the interfering portions
must be removed and the remaining exposed portions sealed with either a wall of concrete not less
than six inches thick. All salvable castings or steel parts which interfere with construction must be
removed, and the Contractor must contact the owners and, if required, must deliver such materials
f.o.b. the owner's trucks at the site of the work; otherwise, such material must become the property
of the Contractor and must be disposed of by the contractor away from the site of work.
The cost of all such work must be absorbed in the prices proposal for the various items of work,
unless it is ascertained that the franchise of the former owner is such as to require it to bear such
costs, in which case it must be the responsibility of the Contractor to secure enforcement of said
franchise if it so desires.

SECTION 8
PROSECUTIONS AND PROGRESS
8.1 SUBCONTRACTS
The Contractor may sublet the Contract work only in accordance with the provisions of these
Specifications and with the consent of the City. The prime Contractor must be held responsible to
see that its subcontractors and material suppliers conform to all the provisions of these
Specifications. If the Contractor, after complying with these conditions, must sublet any portion of
the proposed work to a Subcontractor, the Contractor under the original Contract must remain
directly responsible to the City for all work being performed by it or by any Subcontractor under it,
and all obligations imposed upon the Contractor in the original Contract must be equally binding
upon any Subcontractor under it. The City will deal directly with and make all payment to the
original Contractor. Contractor understands and acknowledges that the Subletting and
Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (as set forth in the California Public Contracts Code) applies to
the Contract and Contractor Agrees to comply with the terms of said Act.
8.2 ASSIGNMENT
The Contractor must not assign the Contract or sublet it as a whole without the written consent of
the City. The Contractor must not assign or permit the assignment of or any lien on any money due
or to become due to it hereunder without the proper consent of the City.
8.3 PROGRESS OF THE WORK
Time is of the essence in this Contract. Unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions, the
Contractor must begin work not later than 15 calendar days after the date of the Notice to Proceed,
and the contractor must prosecute the work with due diligence so as to complete the work within
the time specified in the Special Provisions or within such extension of time as may be granted.
Should the Contractor begin work in advance of receiving notice that the Contract has been
approved as above provided, any work performed by it in advance of said date of approval must be
considered as having been done by it at its own risk and as a volunteer, unless such Contract is so
approved.
8.4 CHARACTER OF WORKMEN
The Contractor must employ none but skilled foremen and workmen upon work requiring special
qualifications. When required by the Engineer, the contractor must discharge from the work and
must not again employ without the consent of the Engineer any employee who is incompetent,
disorderly, abusive, dangerous, insubordinate, or who in any way attempts to interfere with the
employees of the City in the inspection and supervision of the work.
Any representative of the Contractor who is proven to have deliberately given false information
about the performance of any part of the work must be discharged if so ordered by the City Engineer.
8.5 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF WORK
The City Engineer may order the Contractor to suspend work when, in his/her opinion, the
conditions are such as to prevent the work being properly carried out. Such conditions may include:
war, government regulations, labor disputes, strikes, fire, floods, adverse weather or elements,
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-32
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
inability to obtain material, labor or equipment, required extra work, or other specific as may be
further described in the Specifications. When delay is caused by such order, an extension of time
may be granted when the conditions, in the opinion of the City Engineer, are such as could not have
reasonably been foreseen. It is agreed that under no circumstances must the Contractor be excused
from performance or entitled to any extra compensation or reimbursement because of any such
suspension.
8.6 TIME OF ESSENCE, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, EXTENSION OF TIME BY
CITY
Time is of the essence, and, in case all the work called for under the Contract in all parts and
requirements is not finished or completed by the date set forth in the Special Provisions, it is agreed
by the parties to the Contract that circumstances and conditions as reflected by records of the City
are such that material damage will be sustained by the City, and that it is and will be impracticable
and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual damage which the City will sustain in
the event of any by reason of such delay. It is, therefore, expressly agreed that the Contractor will
pay to the City the sum stated in Special Provisions per day for each and every calendar days delay
in finishing the work beyond the date prescribed; and the Contractor agrees to pay said liquidated
damages as herein provided. In case the same are not paid, Contractor agrees that the City may
deduct the amount thereof from any monies due or that may become due the Contractor under the
Contract.
It is further agreed that in case the work called for under the Contract is not finished and completed
in all parts and requirements by the date specified, the City must have the right to extend the time
of completion or not, as may be deemed to best serve the interest of the City. If it is decided to
increase said time, said City must further have the right to charge to the Contractor, its heirs, assigns
or sureties and to deduct from the final payment for the work all or any part, as may be deemed
proper, of the actual cost of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses
which are directly chargeable to the Contract and which accrue during the period of such extension,
except that cost of final surveys and preparation of final estimate must not be included in such
charges.
The time of completion will be extended and the Contractor must not be assessed with liquidated
damages during any delay beyond the day named for completion of the work caused by Acts of
God or acts of the public enemy, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, and freight
embargoes or delay of subcontractors due to such causes, provided the Contractor must notify the
Engineer in writing of such cause or causes of delay within ten (10) days from the beginning of any
such delay and includes in each monthly pay request the number of days of such delay which
occurred in said pay period. Subject to and until entry of a judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction holding contrary to the decision of the Engineer's ascertainment of the facts of existence
of such a cause of delay, the extent of the delay and of what constitutes a reasonable extension of
time of completion in consequence thereof must be final and conclusive. Failure to give notice of
cause of such time delay and failure of inclusion of the Contractor's request for extension based
thereon in the monthly pay request as hereinabove provided will be deemed a waiver of right to
extension of time for such cause subject only to impossibility of compromise therewith by the
Contractor.
It is agreed that under no circumstances must the Contractor be excused from performance or
entitled to any extra compensation or reimbursement because of any delay occasioned by or in any
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-33
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
way arising out of any Acts of God or acts of the public enemy, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, and freight embargoes or delay of subcontractors due to such causes.
8.7 DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR
If the Contractor fails to begin delivery of material and equipment, to commence the work within
the time specified, to maintain the rate of delivery of material, to execute the Work in the manner
and at such locations as specified, or fails to maintain the work schedule which will insure the
Agency's interest, or, if the Contractor is not carrying out the intent of the Contract, the Agency
may serve written notice upon the Contractor and the Surety on its Performance Bond demanding
satisfactory compliance with the Contract.
The Contract may be canceled by the City without liability for damage, when in the City's
opinion the Contractor is not complying in good faith, has become insolvent, or has assigned or
subcontracted any part of the work without the City's consent. In the event of such cancellation,
the Contractor will be paid the actual amount due based on Contract unit prices or lump sums
proposal and the quantity of the work completed at the time of cancellation, less damages caused
to the City by acts of the Contractor. The Contractor, in having tendered a Proposal, must be
deemed to have waived any and all claims for damages because of cancellation of Contract for
any such reason. If the City declares the Contract canceled for any of the above reasons, written
notice to that effect must be served upon the Surety. The Surety must, within 5 days, assume
control and perform the work as successor to the Contractor.
If the Surety assumes any part of the work, it must take the Contractor's place in all respects for
that part, and must be paid by the City for all work performed by it in accordance with the
Contract. If the Surety assumes the entire Contract, all money due the Contractor at the time of
its default must be payable to the Surety as the work progresses, subject to the terms of the
Contract.
If the Surety does not assume control and perform the work within 5 days after receiving notice
of cancellation, or fails to continue to comply, the City may exclude the Surety from the
premises. The Agency may then take possession of all material and equipment and complete the
work by City forces, by letting the unfinished work to another Contractor, or by a combination
of such methods. In any event, the cost of completing the work must be charged agai nst the
Contractor and its Surety and may be deducted from any money due or becoming due from the
Agency. If the sums due under the Contract are insufficient for completion, the Contractor or
Surety must pay to the City within 5 days after the Notice of C ompletion resolution, all costs in
excess of the sums due.
The provisions of this subsection must be in addition to all other rights and remedies available
to the City under law.
8.8 WORK AT NIGHT – Not Applicable
8.9 MAXIMUM LENGTH OF OPEN TRENCH
Except by special permission of the Engineer, the maximum length of open trench where
prefabricated pipe is used must not be greater than 500 feet, or the distance necessary to
accommodate the amount of pipe installed in a single day, whichever is the greater. The distance is
the collective length, including excavation, construction, pipe laying, backfilling, and compaction
at any one location.
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-34
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
Except by special permission of the Engineer, the maximum length of open trench in any one
location where concrete structures are poured in place will be that which is necessary to permit the
uninterrupted progress of construction of the concrete structure, with construction pursued as
follows: excavation, setting of reinforcing steel, pouring of floor slab, walls, and cover slab or arch
are to follow each other without any one of these operations preceding the next nearest operation
by more than 200 feet.
Except by special permission of the Engineer, the maximum length of open trench in any one
location where prefabricated concrete box conduit is used will be that which is necessary to permit
the uninterrupted progress of construction of the concrete structure with construction pursued as
follows: excavation, setting of reinforcing steel, pouring of floor slab, erection of side walls,
erection of cover slab, and pouring of filler spaces are to follow each other without any one of these
operations preceding the next nearest operation by more than 200 feet.
8.10 LIMITED ACCEPTANCE OF WORK
At any time during the progress of the work, the City may, upon written notice to the
Contractor, take over and utilize the whole or part of the work, or appurtenance thereto which
has been completed, giving, if desired, permits to utilize the same. Such use by the City must
constitute a limited acceptance of that part of the work so taken over and utilized which must
relieve the Contractor and its sureties from responsibility for any damage to, or defect in, that
part of the work not inherent in its construction which may be caused by the use of such part by
the City or by property owners under its permits.

SECTION 9
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
9.1 MEASUREMENT FOR PAYMENT
Measurement and calculations of quantities for payment will be as hereinafter specified for the
particular material to be furnished or class of work to be performed, unless otherwise specified in
the Special Provisions.
It must be understood that the unit prices or lump sum amounts proposal must include full
compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, and equipment and doing all work shown on
the Plans or stipulated in the Specifications for that particular item of work, unless otherwise
specified in the Special Provisions.
When payment is specified to be made on the basis of weight, the weighing must be done on
certified platform scales, and the Contractor must furnish the Engineer with the duplicate Certified
Weighmaster's Certificates showing the actual net weights. When weighing is done on certified
scales at a mixing plant, duplicate weight delivery tickets will be accepted. One ticket must be
furnished to the inspector at the plant and one ticket to the Engineer at the site of work. The City
will accept the certificates as evidence of the weight delivered.
9.2 SCOPE OF PAYMENT
The Contractor must accept the compensation as herein provided, in full payment for furnishing all
materials, labor, tools, and equipment necessary to the completed work and for performing all work
contemplated and embraced under the Contract; also for loss or damage arising from the nature of
the work, or from the action of the elements, except as hereinbefore provided or from any
unforeseen difficulties which may be encountered during the prosecution of the work until the
acceptance by prosecution of the work; also for all expenses incurred in consequence of the
suspension or discontinuance of the work as herein specified; and for completing the work
according to the Plans and Specifications. Neither the payment of any estimate nor of any retained
percentage must relieve the Contractor of any obligation to make good any defective work or
material.
9.3 DEDUCTIONS FROM PAYMENTS
The City may, at its option and at any time, retain out of any amounts due the Contractor sums
sufficient to cover any unpaid claims, provided that sworn statements of said claims must have been
filed with the City.
9.4 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
Prior to the Contractor’s application for the first progress payment, Contractor must submit a
detailed breakdown of its bid by scheduled Work items and/or activities, including coordination
responsibilities and project record document responsibilities. Where more than one subcontractor
comprises the work of a work item or activity, the Schedule of Values must show a separate line
item for each subcontract. Contractor must furnish such breakdown, of the total Contract Sum, by
assigning dollar values (cost estimates) to each applicable Progress Schedule network activity,
which cumulative sum equals the total Contract Sum. The format and detail of the breakdown
must be as directed by City to facilitate and clarify future progress payments to Contractor for
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-36
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
direct Work under Contract Documents. This breakdown must be referred to as the Schedule of
Values.
Contractor’s overhead, profit, insurance, cost of bonds and/or other financing, as well as “general
conditions costs,” (e.g., site cleanup and maintenance, temporary roads and access, off site access
roads, temporary power and lighting, security and the like), must be prorated through all activities
so that the sum of all the Schedule of Values line items equal Contractor’s total Contract Sum.
City will review the breakdown in conjunction with the Progress Schedule to ensure that the dollar
amounts of this Schedule of Values are, in fact, fair market cost allocations for the Work items
listed. Upon favorable review by City, City will accept this Schedule of Values for use. City must
be the sole judges of fair market cost allocations.
Any attempt to increase the cost of early activities, i.e., “front loading,” will be rejected by City,
resulting in a complete reallocation of monies until such “front loading” is corrected. Repeated
attempts at “front loading” may result in suspension or termination of the Work or refusal to
process progress payments, until such time as the Schedule of Values is acceptable to City.
9.5 PAYMENTS AND MONTHLY ESTIMATES
The City Engineer will, after the award of Contract, establish a monthly payment closure date. This
date will be the date which will terminate each working month during the life of the Contract for
which a monthly payment is payable. The Contractor will, within 5 days after the established
monthly payment closure date of each month during the period in which work is being performed,
make and deliver to the City two signed copies of monthly Contract payment applications stating
the amount or percentage of work completed according to the Contract, as of the closure date
established, estimated on the basis of the unit or lump sum Contract prices. No allowance will be
made for materials and equipment not incorporated into the work. The City will independently
verify the Contractor's monthly payment application and create a monthly progress payment
request. The City's determinations for the amounts or percentages of work completed are final.
Except as otherwise provided in a labor compliance program applicable to the Work or as otherwise
required by Owner, concurrently with each Application for Payment, Contractor shall submit to
Owner Contractor’s and its Subcontractors’ certified payroll records required to be maintained
pursuant to Labor Code Section 1776 for all labor performed during pay periods ending during the
period covered by the Application for Payment
The City will prepare a warrant in an amount sufficient with all previous payments to make the
aggregate 95 percent of the amount earned as certified, provided, however, that the City at any time
after 50 percent of the work has been completed, if it finds that satisfactory progress is being made,
may make any of the remaining partial payments in full, less authorized deductions.
The partial payments made as the work progresses will be payments on account and must in no way
be considered as an acceptance of any part of the work or materials of the Contract, nor must they
in any way govern the final estimate. Extra work will be paid for as specified in Section 4.3.3.
Payments for unit price items will be made upon the basis of the unit prices proposal and the
quantities of work done, calculated as hereinafter specified, for each particular item of work.
However, where several types of work are included in a unit price item, the City will make partial
payment for the portions of such work as are completed at the time of making the monthly estimates.
All monies due the Contractor under the Contract will be paid on demand by the City, prepared and
Protected/Permissive Signal Head Conversion Phase 2 Part 3: Standard Specifications
Rohnert Park City Proj. No. 2018-30 Page 3-37
OAK #4839-3351-6127 v1
approved as required by law, and it is understood that any delay in the preparation, approval and
payment of these demands will not constitute a breach of Contract on the part of the City.
Payments for lump sum items will be based upon the lump sum proposal and the City's estimate as
to the percentage of completion.
9.6 PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK
Payment for extra work will be made as provided by Section 4.3.3. Where payment is to be made
on a force account basis, the Contractor and the City's representative must compare records of extra
work performed by the Contractor on a force account basis at the end of each day. Copies of these
records will be made in duplicate by the City's representative and must be signed by both the
inspector and the Contractor's Representative, one copy being forwarded to the Contractor and one
copy to the City. Bills for extra work must be signed by the Contractor and submitted to the City.
Each month the Contractor must include in the monthly payment application an estimate of the
amount or cost of extra work performed as included in approved Contract Change Orders. The
Contractor must submit, at the same time it returns the signed monthly payment application, a
complete itemized statement of claim for all costs of extra work performed. Failure to include such
a statement or claim for extra work for the pay period, or failure to deliver a complete statement for
extra work in excess of that estimated by the City Engineer, must constitute a waiver on the part of
the Contractor to any claim for payment for extra work not therein included.
9.6.1 Method of payment for extra work approved as specified in Section 4 under unit price or
lump sum amounts or at stipulated prices must be the same as that for Contract items as set forth in
this Section.
9.6.2 Payment for extra work by Contractor's force account must be made in the following manner:
Upon verification by the Engineer of the Contractor's statement for force account work, a claim will
be prepared upon the proper claims form for approval of the City Engineer and presentation to the
City Manager, for his approval and direction.
9.7 FINAL PAYMENT
Upon completion of the Contract work, the City Engineer will, upon acceptance of the work by the
City and 35 days after the date of recordation of the Notice of Completion, present the Contractor's
claim for the balance of the total Contract price, less any sums which may lawfully be retained
under the Contract.
Unless qualified by the Contractor under the procedure established in Section 9.5 hereof, the final
progress payment request of the City Engineer must be taken as conclusive evidence of the
amount of work done under the Contract. If the Contractor qualified its acceptance of the final
progress payment and the parties fail to agree prior to the termination of the 35-day period after
recordation of Notice of Completion, the final payment must not be delayed but must be made in
accordance with the City Engineer's determination, subject to further claim of the Contractor and
compliance by City with court order.

CLAIMS BY CONTRACTOR
10.1 OBLIGATION TO FILE CLAIMS FOR DISPUTED WORK
10.1.1 Should it appear to Contractor that the Work to be performed or any of the matters
relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should
any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute
arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the
Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during
performance of this Contract, performance of the Contract, and/or compliance with Contract
procedures, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY
