SPECIAL NOTICES

*************************************************************************************************

This is an E-Advertisement project. To obtain contract documents, refer to the Notice to Bidders and section titled "Bid Documents" in Section 2, "Bidding," of these special provisions.

The Subcontractor List form in the Bid book and Section 2-1.12, "Bid Document Completion," of the Amendments

to the Standard Specifications have been revised. Refer to Section 8-1.07, "Liquidated Damages," of the Amendments to the Standard Specifications for your project-

specific liquidated damages based on your total bid. Effective August 1, 2009, the Department is implementing electronic notification of construction contract addenda

for all projects. For addenda information, go to: http://www.dot.ca.gov/addenda/

The Department is implementing new Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements for Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (UDBE). Section 2, "Bidding," under subsection titled "Disadvantaged Business Enterprises" and Section 5, "General," under subsection titled "Performance of UDBEs" of these special provisions cover the UDBE requirements.

The Department has revised its specifications for compensation adjustments for price index fluctuations. Refer to

section titled "Payment Adjustments for Price Index Fluctuations" in Section 5, "General," of the special provisions. The following list summarizes the main revisions:

1. The new index is based on the average of the previous month's crude oil prices. 2. There is a new Web site address. 3. The 90/10 cost sharing provision was removed. 4. Sales tax is included in the adjustments. 5. All paving materials that include asphalt are subject to the adjustments. 6. Formulas for calculating asphalt quantities for various materials are included. 7. Bidders may opt out of payment adjustments for price index fluctuations at the time of bid.

The Department has replaced Section 8, "Prosecution and Progress." This replacement affects references in a large number of other specifications. Due to the extent of affected specifications, these references will not be corrected until there is a change in technical content that merits a specification revision. Section 0, "Global Revisions," of the Amendments to the Standard Specifications covers references affected by the Section 8 replacement.

The Department is allowing contractors to submit electronic payroll records to the District Labor Compliance

Office. Refer to section titled "Electronic Submission of Payroll Records" under Section 5, "General," of these special provisions.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 1 (BLANK)

SECTION 2 BIDDING 2-1.01 BID DOCUMENTS

For this project, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs of Section 2-1.03A, "General," of the Standard Specifications do not apply.

The special provisions, Amendments to the Standard Specifications, and project plans are available in electronic format only. To obtain these documents go to:

http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/esc/oe/weekly_ads/index.php To obtain a Bid book either submit a request using the above Web site or go to the Bid Document Unit.

2-1.02 TIE BID RESOLUTION After bid verification, if there is a tie between 2 or more bidders, the Department breaks the tie by tossing a coin.

2-1.03 DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES Under 49 CFR 26.13(b): The contractor, sub recipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or

sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate.

Take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunity to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26). To ensure there is equal participation of the DBE groups specified in 49 CFR 26.5, the Department specifies a goal for

Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (UDBEs). UDBE is a firm that meets the definition of DBE and is a member of one of the following groups:

1. Black Americans 2. Native Americans 3. Asian-Pacific Americans 4. Women References to DBEs include UDBEs, but references to UDBEs do not include all DBEs. Make work available to UDBEs and select work parts consistent with available UDBE subcontractors and suppliers. Meet the UDBE goal shown in the Notice to Bidders or demonstrate that you made adequate good faith efforts to meet

this goal. It is your responsibility to verify that the UDBE firm is certified as DBE at date of bid opening. For a list of DBEs

certified by the California Unified Certification Program, go to: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/bep/find_certified.htm Only UDBE participation will count towards the UDBE goal. DBE participation will count towards the Department's

federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies you purchase from UDBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner: 1. 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a UDBE manufacturer. 2. 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a UDBE regular dealer. 3. Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if

obtained from a UDBE that is neither a manufacturer or regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer."


12

You receive credit towards the goal if you employ a UDBE trucking company that performs a commercially useful function as defined in 49 CFR 26.55.

UDBE Commitment Submittal Submit UDBE information on the Caltrans Bidder - UDBE - Commitment form included in the Bid book. If the form is

not submitted with the bid, remove the form from the Bid book before submitting your bid. If the UDBE Commitment form is not submitted with the bid, the apparent low bidder, the 2nd low bidder, and the 3rd

low bidder must complete and submit the UDBE Commitment form to Office Engineer. UDBE Commitment form must be received by the Department no later than 4:00 p.m. on the 4th business day after bid opening.

Other bidders do not need to submit the UDBE Commitment form unless the Department requests it. If the Department requests you to submit a UDBE Commitment form, submit the completed form within 4 business days of the request.

Submit written confirmation from each UDBE stating that it is participating in the contract. Include confirmation with the UDBE Commitment form. A copy of a UDBE's quote will serve as written confirmation that the UDBE is participating in the contract.

If you do not submit the UDBE Commitment form within the specified time, the Department finds your bid nonresponsive.

Good Faith Efforts Submittal If you have not met the UDBE goal, complete and submit the Good Faith Efforts Documentation form with the bid

showing that you made adequate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Only good faith efforts directed towards obtaining participation by UDBEs will be considered. If good faith efforts documentation is not submitted with the bid, it must be received by the Department no later than 4:00 p.m. on the 4th business day after bid opening.

If your UDBE Commitment form shows that you have met the UDBE goal or if you are required to submit the UDBE Commitment form, you must also submit good faith efforts documentation within the specified time to protect your eligibility for award of the contract in the event the Department finds that the UDBE goal has not been met.

Good faith efforts documentation must include the following information and supporting documents, as necessary: 1. Items of work you have made available to UDBE firms. Identify those items of work you might otherwise perform

with its own forces and those items that have been broken down into economically feasible units to facilitate UDBE participation. For each item listed, show the dollar value and percentage of the total contract. It is your responsibility to demonstrate that sufficient work to meet the goal was made available to UDBE firms.

2. Names of certified UDBEs and dates on which they were solicited to bid on the project. Include the items of work offered. Describe the methods used for following up initial solicitations to determine with certainty if the UDBEs were interested, and the dates of the follow-up. Attach supporting documents such as copies of letters, memos, facsimiles sent, telephone logs, telephone billing statements, and other evidence of solicitation. You are reminded to solicit certified UDBEs through all reasonable and available means and provide sufficient time to allow UDBEs to respond.

3. Name of selected firm and its status as a UDBE for each item of work made available. Include name, address, and telephone number of each UDBE that provided a quote and their price quote. If the firm selected for the item is not a UDBE, provide the reasons for the selection.

4. Name and date of each publication in which you requested UDBE participation for the project. Attach copies of the published advertisements.

5. Names of agencies and dates on which they were contacted to provide assistance in contacting, recruiting, and using UDBE firms. If the agencies were contacted in writing, provide copies of supporting documents.

6. List of efforts made to provide interested UDBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications, and requirements of the contract to assist them in responding to a solicitation. If you have provided information, identify the name of the UDBE assisted, the nature of the information provided, and date of contact. Provide copies of supporting documents, as appropriate.

7. List of efforts made to assist interested UDBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, insurance, necessary equipment, supplies, and materials, excluding supplies and equipment that the UDBE subcontractor purchases or leases from the prime contractor or its affiliate. If such assistance is provided by you, identify the name of the UDBE assisted, nature of the assistance offered, and date. Provide copies of supporting documents, as appropriate.

8. Any additional data to support demonstration of good faith efforts. The Department may consider UDBE commitments of the 2nd and 3rd bidders when determining whether the low bidder

made good faith efforts to meet the UDBE goal.

$10,500 per day starting on the 1st day after exceeding the number of working days bid until work requiring lane or shoulder closures on State Highway Route 680 is complete.

It is anticipated that water will be available in sufficient quantities for the prosecution of the work. However, water shortages may occur during the life of the contract. Arrangements or commitments obtained by the Department are not a part of the contract. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Department assumes no responsibility to the bidder or Contractor whatsoever in respect to the arrangements made with the source. The Contractor shall assume all risks in connection with the use of the source and the terms upon which the use shall be made. There is no warranty or guaranty, either expressed or implied, to the quantity of water that can be obtained from the source. If the Department has compiled "Materials Information", as referred to in "Watering" of these special provisions, the bidder or Contractor is cautioned to


14

make independent investigations and obtain the commitments or allocations as the bidder or Contractor deems necessary to verify the quantity of water available. The Contractor shall make arrangements or obtain commitments or allocations necessary to provide water for the project.

During the progress of the work, if water becomes unavailable or unavailable in the quantities needed for prosecution of the work, the unavailability of water will be considered a material shortage. The provisions in Section 5-1.116, "Differing Site Conditions (23 CFR 635.109)," of the Standard Specifications shall not apply to the unavailability of water.

SECTION 5 GENERAL

5-1.01 EMISSIONS REDUCTION Contract execution constitutes submittal of the following certification: I am aware of the emissions reduction regulations being mandated by the California Air Resources Board. I will

comply with such regulations before commencing the performance of the work and maintain compliance throughout the duration of this contract.

5-1.02 PERFORMANCE OF DBEs

Use each DBE subcontractor as listed on the Subcontractor List form unless you receive authorization for a substitution. The Department requests the Contractor to: 1. Notify the Engineer of any changes to its anticipated DBE participation 2. Provide this notification before starting the affected work Maintain records including: 1. Name and business address of each 1st-tier subcontractor 2. Name and business address of each DBE subcontractor, DBE vendor, and DBE trucking company, regardless of tier 3. Date of payment and total amount paid to each business If you are a DBE contractor, include the date of work performed by your own forces and the corresponding value of the

work. Before the 15th of each month, submit a Monthly DBE Trucking Verification form. For a DBE that leases trucks from a non-DBE, count only the fee or commission the DBE receives as a result of the lease

arrangement. If a DBE subcontractor is decertified before completing subcontracted work, the subcontractor must notify you in writing

of the decertification date. If a subcontractor becomes a certified DBE before completing subcontracted work, the subcontractor must notify you in writing of the certification date. Submit the notifications. On contract work completion, complete a Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Certification Status Change form. Submit the form within 90 days of contract acceptance.

Upon contract work completion, complete a Final Report Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subcontractors form. Submit it within 90 days of contract acceptance. The Department withholds $10,000 until the form is submitted. The Department releases the withhold upon submission of the completed form.

5-1.03 PERFORMANCE OF UDBEs

UDBEs must perform work or supply materials as listed in the Caltrans Bidder - UDBE - Commitment form specified under Section 2, "Bidding," of these special provisions. Do not terminate a UDBE listed subcontractor for convenience and perform the work with your own forces or obtain materials from other sources without prior written authorization from the Department.

The Department grants authorization to use other forces or sources of materials for requests that show any of the following justifications:

1. Listed UDBE fails or refuses to execute a written contract based on plans and specifications for the project. 2. You stipulated that a bond is a condition of executing the subcontract and the listed UDBE fails to meet your bond

requirements. 3. Work requires a contractors license and listed UDBE does not have a valid license under Contractors License Law. 4. Listed UDBE fails or refuses to perform the work or furnish the listed materials. 5. Listed UDBE's work is unsatisfactory and not in compliance with the contract. 6. Listed UDBE delays or disrupts the progress of the work. 7. Listed UDBE becomes bankrupt or insolvent.


15

If a listed UDBE subcontractor is terminated, you must make good faith efforts to find another UDBE subcontractor to

substitute for the original UDBE. The substitute UDBE must perform at least the same amount of work as the original UDBE under the contract to the extent needed to meet the UDBE goal.

The substitute UDBE must be certified as a DBE at the time of request for substitution. The Department does not pay for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed UDBE or an

authorized substitute.

5-1.04 PARTNERING DISPUTE RESOLUTION The Department encourages the project team to exhaust the use of partnering in dispute resolution before engagement of

an objective third party. Comply with Section 5-1.012, "Partnering," of the Standard Specifications. For certain disputes, facilitated partnering session or facilitated dispute resolution session may be appropriate and

effective in clarifying issues and resolving all or part of a dispute. To afford the project team enough time to plan and hold the session, a maximum of 20 days may be added to the dispute

review board (DRB) referral time following the Engineer's written response to a supplemental potential claim record as specified in Section 5-1.15, "Dispute Resolution," of the Standard Specifications.

To allow this additional referral time, the project team must document its agreement and intention in the dispute resolution plan of the partnering charter. The team may further document agreement of any associated criteria to be met for use of the additional referral time.

If the session is not held, the DRB referral time remains in effect as specified in Section 5-1.15, "Dispute Resolution," of the Standard Specifications.

5-1.05 PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS FOR PRICE INDEX FLUCTUATIONS

GENERAL Summary

This section applies to asphalt contained in materials for pavement structural sections and pavement surface treatments such as hot mix asphalt (HMA), tack coat, asphaltic emulsions, bituminous seals, asphalt binders, and modified asphalt binders placed in the work. This section does not apply if you opted out of payment adjustment for price index fluctuations at the time of bid.

The Engineer adjusts payment if the California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index for the month the material is placed is more than 5 percent higher or lower than the price index at the time of bid.

The California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index is determined each month on or about the 1st business day of the month by the Department using the average of the posted prices in effect for the previous month as posted by Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips for the Buena Vista, Huntington Beach, and Midway Sunset fields.

If a company discontinues posting its prices for a field, the Department determines the index from the remaining posted prices. The Department may include additional fields to determine the index.

For the California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index, go to:

http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/construc/crudeoilindex/ If the adjustment is a decrease in payment, the Department deducts the amount from the monthly progress payment. The Department includes payment adjustments for price index fluctuations when making adjustments under Section 4-

1.03B, "Increased or Decreased Quantities," of the Standard Specifications. If you do not complete the work within the contract time, payment adjustments during the overrun period are determined

using the California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index in effect for the month in which the overrun period began. If the price index at the time of placement increases: 1. 50 percent or more over the price index at bid opening, notify the Engineer. 2. 100 percent or more over the price index at bid opening, do not furnish material containing asphalt until the

Engineer authorizes you to proceed with that work. The Department may decrease Bid item quantities, eliminate Bid items, or terminate the contract.

Submittals

Before placing material containing asphalt, submit the current sales and use tax rate in effect in the tax jurisdiction where the material is to be placed.


16

Submit certified weight slips for HMA, tack coat, asphaltic emulsions, and modified asphalt binders, including those materials not paid for by weight, as specified in Section 9-1.01, "Measurement of Quantities," of the Standard Specifications. For slurry seals, submit certified weight slips separately for the asphaltic emulsion.

ASPHALT QUANTITIES

General Interpret the term "ton" as "tonne" for projects using metric units.

Hot Mix Asphalt The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in HMA using the following formula: Qh = HMATT x [Xa / (100 + Xa)] where:

Qh = quantity in tons of asphalt used in HMA HMATT = HMA total tons placed

Xa = theoretical asphalt content from job mix formula expressed as percentage of the weight of dry aggregate

Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt

The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in rubberized HMA (RHMA) using the following formula: Qrh = RHMATT x 0.80 x [Xarb / (100 + Xarb)] where:

Qrh = quantity in tons of asphalt in asphalt rubber binder used in RHMA RHMATT = RHMA total tons placed

Xarb = theoretical asphalt rubber binder content from the job mix formula expressed as percentage of the weight of dry aggregate

Modified Asphalt Binder in Hot Mix Asphalt

The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in modified asphalt binder using the following formula: Qmh = MHMATT x [(100 - Xam) / 100] x [Xmab / (100 + Xmab)] where:

Qmh = quantity in tons of asphalt in modified asphalt binder used in HMA MHMATT = modified asphalt binder HMA total tons placed

Xam = specified percentage of asphalt modifier Xmab = theoretical modified asphalt binder content from the job mix formula expressed as

percentage of the weight of dry aggregate

Hot Mix Asphalt Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in HMA containing RAP using the following formulas: Qrap = HMATT x [Xaa / (100 + Xaa)] where:

Xaa = Xta - [(100 -Xnew) x (Xra / 100)] and


17

Qrap = quantity in tons of asphalt used in HMA containing RAP HMATT = HMA total tons placed

Xaa = asphalt content of HMA adjusted to account for the asphalt content in RAP expressed as percentage of the weight of dry aggregate

Xta = total asphalt content of HMA expressed as percentage of the weight of dry aggregate Xnew = theoretical percentage of new aggregate in the HMA containing RAP determined from

RAP percentage in the job mix formula Xra = asphalt content of RAP expressed as percentage

Tack Coat

The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in tack coat (Qtc) as either: 1. Asphalt binder using the asphalt binder total tons placed as tack coat 2. Asphaltic emulsion by applying the formula in "Asphaltic Emulsion" to the asphaltic emulsion total tons placed as

tack coat

Asphaltic Emulsion The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in asphaltic emulsions, including fog seals and tack coat, using the

following formula: Qe = AETT x Xe where:

Qe = quantity in tons of asphalt used in asphaltic emulsions AETT = undiluted asphaltic emulsions total tons placed

Xe = minimum percent residue specified in Section 94, "Asphaltic Emulsions," of the Standard Specifications based on the type of emulsion used

You may, as an option, determine "Xe" by submitting actual daily test results for asphalt residue for the asphaltic

emulsion used. If you choose this option, you must: 1. Take 1 sample every 200 tons but not less than 1 sample per day in the presence of the Engineer from the delivery

truck, at midload from a sampling tap or thief, and in the following order:

1.1. Draw and discard the 1st gallon 1.2. Take two separate 1/2-gallon samples

2. Submit 1st sample at the time of sampling 3. Provide 2nd sample within 3 business days of sampling to an independent testing laboratory that participates in the

AASHTO Proficiency Sample Program 4. Submit test results from independent testing laboratory within 10 business days of sample date

Slurry Seal The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in slurry seals (Qss) by applying the formula in "Asphaltic Emulsion" to

the actual quantity of asphaltic emulsion used in producing the slurry seal mix.

Modified Asphalt Binder The Engineer calculates the quantity of asphalt in modified asphalt binder using the following formula: Qmab = MABTT x [(100 - Xam) / 100] where:

Qmab = quantity in tons of asphalt used in modified asphalt binder MABTT = modified asphalt binder total tons placed

Xam = specified percentage of asphalt modifier

Other Materials For other materials containing asphalt not covered above, the Engineer determines the quantity of asphalt (Qo).

PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS The Engineer includes payment adjustments for price index fluctuations in progress pay estimates. If material containing

asphalt is placed within 2 months during 1 estimate period, the Engineer calculates 2 separate adjustments. Each adjustment is calculated using the price index for the month in which the quantity of material containing asphalt subject to adjustment is placed in the work. The sum of the 2 adjustments is used for increasing or decreasing payment in the progress pay estimate.

The Engineer calculates each payment adjustment as follows:

PA = Qt x A where: PA = Payment adjustment in dollars for asphalt contained in materials placed in the work for a given month. Qt = Sum of all quantities of asphalt-contained materials in pavement structural sections and pavement surface

treatments placed (Qh + Qrh + Qmh + Qrap + Qtc + Qe + Qss + Qmab + Qo). A = Adjustment in dollars per ton of asphalt used to produce materials placed in the work rounded to the nearest $0.01. For US Customary projects, use:

A = [(Iu / Ib) - 1.05] x Ib x [1 + (T / 100)] for an increase in the crude oil price index exceeding 5 percent A = [(Iu / Ib) - 0.95] x Ib x [1 + (T / 100)] for a decrease in the crude oil price index exceeding 5 percent

For metric projects, use:

A = 1.1023 x [(Iu / Ib) - 1.05] x Ib x [1 + (T / 100)] for an increase in the crude oil price index exceeding 5 percent A = 1.1023 x [(Iu / Ib) - 0.95] x Ib x [1 + (T / 100)] for a decrease in the crude oil price index exceeding 5 percent

Iu = California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index for the month in which the quantity of asphalt subject to adjustment was placed in the work.

Ib = California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index for the month in which the bid opening for the project occurred T = Sales and use tax rate, expressed as a percent, currently in effect in the tax jurisdiction where the material is placed.

If the tax rate information is not submitted timely, the statewide sales and use tax rate is used in the payment adjustment calculations until the tax rate information is submitted.

The above markups shall be applied to work performed on a force account basis, regardless of whether the work revises the current contract completion date.

The above markups, together with payments made for time-related overhead under "Time-Related Overhead" of these

special provisions, shall constitute full compensation for all overhead costs for work performed on a force account basis. Full compensation for overhead costs for work performed on a force account basis, and for which no adjustment is made

to the lump sum price bid for time-related overhead conforming to the provisions in "Time-Related Overhead" of these


20

special provisions, shall be considered as included in the markups specified above, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.

Subcontracted Force Account Payment When extra work to be paid for on a force account basis is performed by a subcontractor approved in conformance with

the provisions in Section 5-1.055, "Subcontracting," of the Standard Specifications, compensation will be determined in accordance with the provisions in Section 9-1.03, "Force Account Payment," of the Standard Specifications.

5-1.09 DAMAGE CLAIMS

Attention is directed to Section 7, "Legal Relations and Responsibility," of the Standard Specifications. Provided the Contractor's operations and work comply with the plans and specifications, the Contractor's responsibility for

payment of claims for physical damages caused by screenings or bituminous binder will be limited to no more than 10 percent of the total contract bid price.

For each seal coat location within the project, only those claims for physical damages caused by screenings or bituminous binder that occurred within the period extending from the first day screenings were applied to the binder to 4 days following the last day screenings were applied to the binder, shall be considered for resolution.

Claims reported or submitted by the public directly to the Contractor within 30 days from the last spreading of screenings on the project shall be processed and resolved by the Contractor in conformance with the following:

1. Within 3 business days after receipt of a claim from the public, the Contractor shall submit to the Department a copy of

the claim together with a determination of whether or not the claim will be paid. If the claim is to be rejected, the Contractor shall explain in writing the basis for rejecting the claim.

2. If the claimant becomes dissatisfied with the Contractor's handling of their claim, the Contractor shall immediately refer the dissatisfied claimant to the local District Claims Office for assistance in resolving the claim.

3. Within 30 days from the last spreading of screenings on the project, the Contractor shall submit evidence to the Department of those claims paid by the Contractor.

Claims presented by the public directly to the Department or State Board of Control, as set forth in Govt Code 900 et seq.,

will be processed and resolved by the Department in conformance with the following: 1. These claims will be processed as formal government claims against the State, subject to all applicable statutes,

regulations, and departmental policies. The Department reserves the right to adjust and settle any formal government claim directly with the claimant, or it may refer the claim to the Contractor for investigation and disposition.

2. If the Department or State Board of Control approves settlement of a formal government claim or the Department is ordered to pay the claim pursuant to a court order, the claim will be paid by the Department from the funds withheld.

3. Within 3 business days of determination by the local District Claims Office that the Contractor is responsible for resolving the formal government claim, the local District Claims Office will either send a copy of the claim to the Contractor for handling and disposition, or notify the Contractor of the Department's decision to settle and pay the claim directly with the claimant.

Funds in an amount not to exceed 5 percent of the total contract bid price will be withheld. This withhold by the Department

will be for a maximum period of 60 days after the last spreading of screenings on the project to allow the Department sufficient time to settle claims that remain unresolved by the Contractor. At the end of this 60-day period, funds remaining in the withhold, that are not allocated by the Department to pay unsettled claims, will be returned to the Contractor.

If no withheld funds remain or if the withhold has been returned to the Contractor, the Department may elect to pay a formal government claim from public funds. If the Department determines the Contractor is responsible for the claim, the Department will then seek reimbursement from the Contractor for any public funds used to pay the claim, subject to the 10 percent limitation. The Department may use any legal remedy available to obtain reimbursement from the Contractor including administration of an offset as provided for in Govt Code 12419.5.

Except for the limitation of responsibility for damage claims specified above, nothing in this section shall be construed as decreasing the Contractor's obligation to defend and indemnify the State from all claims in conformance with the provisions of Section 7, "Legal Relations and Responsibility," of the Sta
